You can either travel or read, but either your body or your soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Here are four books that you can take on your trip.

A mother of nine started medical school, graduated with her degree and plans to be a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生).
Sarah Merrill, now 41, said her journey to medical school began at age 17. She then met her husband and got married. But she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. She owed her success to her husband’s approval. “When I was accepted by the Medicine School, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona to start my internship (实习). In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.” said Merrill.
Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study their own courses Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched when knowing her daughter and son want to become a doctor.
Merrill’s next step will come into a male-dominated field where women doctors only take up 5%. Dr. Halyard at the Medicine School said Merrill was known as a focused student and added, “If you have the ability to deal with nine children, the internship should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly major, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
4. Why does Merrill speak of their movements?
A. To show the support of her family.
B. To stress her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college.
D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
5. What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Commitment. B. Inspiration.
C. Entertainment. D. Confusion.
6. What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4?
A. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
B. Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.
C. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
D. She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.
7. What does Merrill suggest at last?
A. Starting with important things.
B. Getting your priorities right.
C. Being true to your passion.
D. Having the courage to dream big.
C
My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (差事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.
Our personalities are matched and a shared history is extremely valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs. What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements and the depths of desperation. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
8. What does the underlined sentence indicate in Para. 2?
A. They talked a lot about their lives.
B. They enjoyed running errands.
C They had a noisy weekend.
D. They quarreled at times.
9. What does the author appreciate about their friendship?
A. They help each other achieve in their fields.
B. They’re best friends despite different hobbies.
C. They inspire each other to be their best selves.
D. They’re comfortable just being themselves.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Real friends are easy to make.
B. Good friendships need effort.
C. Special friendships may fail to delight.
D. Distance and difference bring friendship.
11. Why does the author write this text?
A. To express thanks to her best friend.
B. To share the friendship she treasures.
C. To describe the appearance of her best friend.
D. To explain how she offers help to her friend.
D
What is the greatest threat to mankind? Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.
The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters.
What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.
These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters.
Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change.
12. Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes?
A They can not be prevented.
B. They are both geological events.
C. They cause damage to people.
D. They are both the result of natural environmental processes.
13. The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________.
A it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen
B. our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters
C. we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike
D. we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike
14. It may be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. natural disasters can not be predicted at all
B. human beings are pessimistic to the future
C. being well-prepared can avoid economic losses
D. good preparation and disaster management are advisable.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. a symbol of the power of nature B. the greatest threat to mankind
C. Natural disasters and mankind D. reduce losses to the least

Just as many families do at a point, Catherine chose to add a new family member by adopting a pet. Shortly after her daughter Kate’s birth, Catherine decided she wanted a close bond (纽带) with a dog for Kate. Thus, Catherine called the dog shelter close by to inquire (问询) about adoption. After hearing about the available animals, she chose a Doberman Pinscher. Once they signed adoption papers, they named the dog Khan.
Catherine was hopeful this would provide valuable lessons for her baby, such as sharing, learning to love and responsibility to care for animals. She was looking forward to having the dog join the family.
Hearing of Khan’s rough background, Catherine immediately loved the dog. She was overjoyed to bring this special dog back to her family. Or course, she realized there were risks involved. Well, the obvious risks from bringing a large, potentially dangerous animal to her young baby, Catherine pushed them aside. If she had not adopted Khan, he would have been killed just a week later. So, this was his new life and second chance, and the family was hoping for the best.
Everything began smoothly. They trained Khan during the first few days. However everything changed on that fourth day when the dog acted completely out of character.
The fateful (对未来有重大影响的) day began with the usual playtime in the yard. Although baby Kate had her parents watching from a distance, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary Kate and the new dog had been making a habit of playing out back like this. However, things were different this day.
So what was actually happening out there? The two were not being loud or crazy. They began running through the backyard grass together. Again, Catherine watched the two closely. Surprisingly, things had changed within an instant (一瞬间)!
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Khan began acting wildly all of a sudden.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Obviously, it was Khan who saved her baby but he barked weakly and then fell down with dying eyes.

Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched when knowing her daughter and son want to become a doctor.
Merrill’s next step will come into a male-dominated field where women doctors only take up 5%. Dr. Halyard at the Medicine School said Merrill was known as a focused student and added, “If you have the ability to deal with nine children, the internship should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly major, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
4. Why does Merrill speak of their movements?
A. To show the support of her family.
B. To stress her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college.
D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
5. What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Commitment. B. Inspiration.
C. Entertainment. D. Confusion.
6. What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4?
A. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
B. Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.
C. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
D. She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.
7. What does Merrill suggest at last?

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Sarah Merrill是一位有九个孩子的妈妈,在她最小的孩子只有4岁时,Merrill决定追逐梦想上医学院。在历尽艰难获得医学学位后,Merrill选择步入只有5%的女性医生取得职业资格证书的神经外科,成为一名神经外科医生。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“She owed her success to her husband’s approval. “When I was accepted by the Medicine School, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona to start my internship (实习). In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.” said Merrill. (她把她的成功归功于她丈夫的认可。“当我被医学院录取时,我们从宾夕法尼亚州搬到了亚利桑那州,开始了我的实习。事实上,这些运动是他们自愿的。我知道这对我们所有人来说都很艰难。”Merrill说。)”可知,Merrill认为她能成功回到校园主要归功于她的家人,为了方便她学习,Merrill一家从宾夕法尼亚州搬到亚利桑那州,现在为了她的工作又要搬到印第安纳州,并且这些搬家是她的家人自愿的。由此可推断,Merrill提到他们的搬家是为了说明家人的支持。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Merrill felt touched when knowing her daughter and son want to become a doctor. (当Merrill知道她的女儿和儿子想成为医生时,她感到很感动。)”可知,Merrill的女儿和儿子想成为医生,由此可推断,Merrill决定成为一名神经外科医生的选择激励了孩子们。stimulus意为“激励”,inspiration“鼓舞人心的人(或事物)”与画线词含义相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If you have the ability to deal with nine children, the internship should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail. (如果你能耐心地照顾9个孩子,实习应该是小菜一碟,因为再大的压力也不会让你失败。)”可知,Halyard认为如果你能应对九个孩子并保持理智,那么神经外科医生的实习期应该是小菜一碟,因为即使再多的压力也不会让你失败。由此可推断,梅里尔医生可以在住院医生实习期成功。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly major, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.” (Merrill曾考虑过选择一个更适合家庭的专业,但她再次选择了远大的梦想,追随了她最初的追求。这也是她给所有人的建议。“设定你真正感兴趣的目标,从小处着眼会有所帮助。如果你知道你的优先事项是什么,那么就专注于下一步。然后你就会到达你想去的地方。”)”可知,Merrill建议遵循真正热爱的目标。故选C项。
C
My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (差事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.
Our personalities are matched and a shared history is extremely valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs. What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements and the depths of desperation. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
8. What does the underlined sentence indicate in Para. 2?
A. They talked a lot about their lives.
B. They enjoyed running errands.
C. They had a noisy weekend.
D. They quarreled at times.
9. What does the author appreciate about their friendship?
A. They help each other achieve in their fields.
B. They’re best friends despite different hobbies.
C. They inspire each other to be their best selves.
D. They’re comfortable just being themselves.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Real friends are easy to make.
B. Good friendships need effort.
C. Special friendships may fail to delight.
D. Distance and difference bring friendship.
11. Why does the author write this text?
A. To express thanks to her best friend.
B. To share the friendship she treasures.
C. To describe the appearance of her best friend.
D. To explain how she offers help to her friend.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事,来告诉我们读者良好的友谊需要奉献,作者十分珍惜自己和朋友的这段友谊。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.”(我们在不同的城市生活了将近十年。团聚需要谈话。)可推知,划线句“but there was never a quiet moment.”中never quiet moment 是指“没有安静的时刻”,即“他们谈论了很多关于他们的生活。”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.”(关于我们的友谊,我最喜欢的一点是,我们不必“做些什么”,而我们只需“做我们自己”。我们放弃装模作样,敷衍行事,公共场合的面具。)可推知,作者和朋友做自己就很舒服,不虚情假意。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives.”(特殊的友谊总是令人愉快的,尽管我们在各自的生活中有距离和差异,但这种友谊的延续是值得额外努力的。)可推知,良好的友谊需要奉献。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.”(我很幸运能找到这个朋友,并且看到她的未来依然陪伴着我。在一起是完美的。)可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是和读者分享她珍视的友谊。故选B。

What is the greatest threat to mankind? Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.
The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters.
What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.
These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters.
Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change.
12. Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes?
A. They can not be prevented.
B. They are both geological events.
C. They cause damage to people.
D. They are both the result of natural environmental processes.
13. The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________.
A. it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen
B. our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters
C. we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike
D. we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike
14. It may be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. natural disasters can not be predicted at all
B. human beings are pessimistic to the future
C. being well-prepared can avoid economic losses
D. good preparation and disaster management are advisable.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. a symbol of the power of nature B. the greatest threat to mankind
C. Natural disasters and mankind D. reduce losses to the least
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.”(自然灾害有多种形式:比如地质事件,像地震、海啸或泥石流;气候事件,像风暴、飓风或龙卷风;火灾事件,像森林火灾和野火。)可知,龙卷风和地震属于不同的灾害类型,所以它们都是地质事件不能作为是它们的相似之处。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen.”(自然灾害造成的破坏主要是由于我们无法准确预测它们何时发生。)可知,自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因是很难准确预测它们何时会发生。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them.”(大多数自然灾害是无法预防的,应急准备和良好的灾害管理都是对付这些灾害的最佳办法。)可知,人类面临自然灾害时做好准备和灾害管理的办法是可取的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要第一段主要讲述了人类面临自然灾害的种类;第二自然段主要讲述了自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因;第三、四及五自然段主要讲述了人类对付这些灾害的两种最佳办法;可知,自然灾害和人类最适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。

2. 根据本段段落主题句“It need not be an enormous task.(这不一定是一项艰巨的任务。)”可知,本段要介绍的是:可以做小的事情来对世界产生影响。故选D项“如果你不能喂饱一百个人,那你就喂饱一个人”符合本段主题,强调了如果做不了大的事情可以做小的事情来改变世界。故选D。
3. 根据本段段落主题句“Start now.(从现在开始)”可知,我们要从现在开始,行动起来,上文“Little efforts count.(小小的努力也是值得的。)”指出小小的努力也是值得的,所以我们要从今天开始做一些小小的努力,C项“你可以今天开始做一些小的贡献”切题。C项中today与本段段落主题句中now为同义词。故选C。
4. 本空为段落主题句。根据本段中“As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”(俗话说:“给人一条鱼,就给他一天的食物。”教他怎么钓鱼,你就能养活他一辈子。”(授之以鱼不如授之以渔))”可知,本段强调要对被帮助者产生长时间的影响,A项“力求产生持久的效果。”符合。A项中a longlasting effect和后句中a longlasting effect为词汇复现。故选A。
5. 上文“The good that we seek to do will make more of a difference when there is a longlasting effect rather than a temporary effect.(我们寻求做的好事,在产生长期效应而不是暂时效应时,会产生更大的影响。)”指出我们做的好事要产生长期效应,产生更多的影响,G项“例如,建一所学校将使许多人受益多年”举例子说明上文内容,同时顺承下文“And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.(当更多的人接受教育时,他们将反过来为世界提供更多的价值。)”,故选G。

Just as many families do at a point, Catherine chose to add a new family member by adopting a pet. Shortly after her daughter Kate’s birth, Catherine decided she wanted a close bond (纽带) with a dog for Kate. Thus, Catherine called the dog shelter close by to inquire (问询) about adoption. After hearing about the available animals, she chose a Doberman Pinscher. Once they signed adoption papers, they named the dog Khan.
Catherine was hopeful this would provide valuable lessons for her baby, such as sharing, learning to love and responsibility to care for animals. She was looking forward to having the dog join the family.
Hearing of Khan’s rough background, Catherine immediately loved the dog. She was overjoyed to bring this special dog back to her family. Or course, she realized there were risks involved. Well, the obvious risks from bringing a large, potentially dangerous animal to her young baby, Catherine pushed them aside. If she had not adopted Khan, he would have been killed just a week later. So, this was his new life and second chance, and the family was hoping for the best.
Everything began smoothly. They trained Khan during the first few days. However, everything changed on that fourth day when the dog acted completely out of character.
The fateful (对未来有重大影响的) day began with the usual playtime in the yard. Although baby Kate had her parents watching from a distance, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary Kate and the new dog had been making a habit of playing out back like this. However, things were different this day.
So what was actually happening out there? The two were not being loud or crazy. They began running through the backyard grass together. Again Catherine watched the two closely. Surprisingly, things had changed within an instant (一瞬间)!
