A
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to be patient (耐心) and wise (智慧). So he asked them to take turns looking at a pear tree that was far from their home.
The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn. After they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly and weak. The second son disagreed, he said it was covered with green buds (花蕾) and full of hope. The third son didn’t agree with either of them. He said it was covered in flowers that smelled sweet and looked beautiful. The last son also had his own opinion. He said the tree was ripe (成熟的) and full of fruit, ready to be picked.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all correct because each of them saw just one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge (评价) a tree, or a person—by only one season. You can see how someone changes and grows as time goes by—some periods are happy, while others are sad. If you give up on someone when they are living through the “winter” of their lives, you will miss the promise of their spring, the beauty of their summer, and the greatness of their autumn.
26. Why did the man ask his four sons to look at the pear tree in turns?
A. To teach them a lesson. B. To train them to be strong men.
C. To help the pear tree grow. D. To check the tree’s health.
27. In which season did the fourth son visit the tree?
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter.
28. How was the pear tree in spring?
A. It was ugly and weak. B. It was covered with green buds.
C. It was covered in flowers that smelled sweet. D. It was ripe and full of fruit.
29. What does the man want to tell his sons?
A. Don’t follow other people. B. There is strength in numbers.
C. Don’t make a decision too quickly. D. Don’t judge a whole life by just one period.

C
As we walked down towards the shore, Ben Gunn told his story. “I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton (骨架), I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave (洞), so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came looking for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire (乡绅) and doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade. We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers (叛变者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’ t think you or I will be going to sea again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols (手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’ t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened. But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.
—Excerpt from Treasure Island
34. Who found the treasure?
A. Jim. B. Ben Gunn. C. Long John Silver. D. Three mutineers.
35. Why did the doctor give the map to Long John Silver?
A. Because he wanted to help Long John Silver find the treasure.
B. Because Ben Gunn had taken the treasure away and the map was useless.
C. Because his plan was to get Long John Silver and his men to come to the stockade.
D. Because he wanted Long John Silver to get some stores for him.
36. Where was the squire waiting?
A. At the cave. B. In the stockade. C. In the boat. D. Behind the tree.
37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

C. The three mutineers were left on the island.
D. Long John Silver took all the treasure away.
D
Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships (关系) with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
38. According to the passage, bitterness comes from ________.
A. our health problems like heart disease B. the feeling we have when hurting others
C. the anger that lives deep inside our mind D. our relationships with friends and relatives
39. The underlined word “deny” in the passage means “________”.
A. 否认 B. 承认 C. 忘记 D. 记住
40. The best way to deal with the bitterness is ________.
A. only to accept that you are hurt by others B. to hate the person who hurts us very often
C. to make the person who hurts us look bad D. to forgive the person who hurts us and forget it

Jeans are so common, and you may want to know its history and who invented them. Jeans were invented by a German named Levi Strauss. He went to the U.S. in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (矿石), they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕开). In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans-tough pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.
At the beginning, Levi’s jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldn’t think of wearing jeans. Women didn’t wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool. But jeans still weren’t proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the U.S., fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned (禁止) jeans because of their “rebel” (叛逆) image. But casual clothing including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.
Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere. Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them.
They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. That’s probably why you own a pair or two, or seven, yourself.

【解析】
【详解】句意:你无法想象自上学期以来他取得了多大的进步。
考查感叹句及时态。根据“since last term”可知,第二空为现在完成时“have/has+动词过去分词”,主语为he,助动词用has。感叹句中,what修饰名词,how修饰形容词或副词。第一空修饰名词progress,所以用what引导感叹句,故选A。
7. —Cindy, could you tell me ________?
—Not very far, but you’d better go there by bike.
A. where is the youth centre B. how far the youth centre is
C. how can I get to the youth centre D. how long it takes to the youth centre
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Cindy,你能告诉我青年中心有多远吗?——不远,但你最好骑自行车去那里。
考查宾语从句。句子是宾语从句,用陈述语序,排除AC;根据“Not very far...”可知此处询问某地有多远,用how far引导宾语从句。故选B。
8. There is no doubt ________ Harry Potter is worth ________.
A. whether; reading B. whether; to read C. that; reading D. that; being read
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:毫无疑问,《哈利·波特》值得一读。
考查同位语从句和非谓语动词。根据“There is no doubt…Harry Potter is worth…”可知,There is no doubt that…“毫无疑问……”,固定句型,第一个空应用that引导同位语从句;be worth doing sth.“值得做某事”,固定搭配,此处指《哈利·波特》值得一读,第二个空应用reading。故选C。
9. —Mr. Li, when shall I hand in my report?
—As soon as it ________ tomorrow.
A. finishes B. will finish C. will be finished D. is finished
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——李先生,我什么时候交报告?——明天一完成。
考查时间状语从句及被动语态。根据“As soon as”和“tomorrow”可知,本句为时间状语从句,as soon as引导的时间状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则,且主语“it”与“finish”之间为被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态。故选D。
10. —My dream is to play in the World Cup, but many of my classmates laugh at me.
—________. No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small.
A. Don’t lose heart B. Don’t mention it C. Never mind D. I don’t think so
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我的梦想是参加世界杯,但我的许多同学都嘲笑我。——别灰心。没有哪一个梦想太大,也没有哪一个梦想者太小。
考查情景交际。Don’t lose heart别灰心;Don’t mention it别提了;Never mind不要紧;I don’t think so我不这么认为。根据“No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small.”以及语境,可知这里表示“别灰心”,A项符合题意,故选A。

A
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to be patient (耐心) and wise (智慧). So he asked them to take turns looking at a pear tree that was far from their home.
The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn. After they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly and weak. The second son disagreed, he said it was covered with green buds (花蕾) and full of hope. The third son didn’t agree with either of them. He said it was covered in flowers that smelled sweet and looked beautiful. The last son also had his own opinion. He said the tree was ripe (成熟的) and full of fruit, ready to be picked.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all correct because each of them saw just one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge (评价) a tree, or a person—by only one season. You can see how someone changes and grows as time goes by—some periods are happy, while others are sad. If you give up on someone when they are living through the “winter” of their lives, you will miss the promise of their spring, the beauty of their summer, and the greatness of their autumn.
26. Why did the man ask his four sons to look at the pear tree in turns?
A. To teach them a lesson. B. To train them to be strong men.
C. To help the pear tree grow. D. To check the tree’s health.
27. In which season did the fourth son visit the tree?
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter.
28. How was the pear tree in spring?
A. It was ugly and weak. B. It was covered with green buds.
C. It was covered in flowers that smelled sweet. D. It was ripe and full of fruit.
29. What does the man want to tell his sons?
A. Don’t follow other people. B. There is strength in numbers.
C. Don’t make a decision too quickly. D. Don’t judge a whole life by just one period.

As we walked down towards the shore, Ben Gunn told his story. “I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton (骨架), I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave (洞), so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came looking for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire (乡绅) and doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade. We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers (叛变者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’ t think you or I will be going to sea again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols (手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’ t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened. But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.
—Excerpt from Treasure Island

Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships (关系) with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
38. According to the passage, bitterness comes from ________.
A. our health problems like heart disease B. the feeling we have when hurting others
C. the anger that lives deep inside our mind D. our relationships with friends and relatives
39. The underlined word “deny” in the passage means “________”.
A. 否认 B. 承认 C. 忘记 D. 记住
40. The best way to deal with the bitterness is ________.
A. only to accept that you are hurt by others B. to hate the person who hurts us very often
C. to make the person who hurts us look bad D. to forgive the person who hurts us and forget it
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了痛苦的产生原因以及处理痛苦的方法。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside.”可知,痛苦来自我们内心深处的愤怒,当我们无法原谅伤害我们的人时,这种愤怒就会转化为痛苦,故选C。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it.”可知,这里是说不要试图否认你的愤怒,而是要认清它并接受它,deny意为“否认”,故选A。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.”可知,处理痛苦的最好方法是原谅伤害我们的人并忘记这件事,故选D。

VII.任务型阅读(共5题; 每小题2分,满分10分)
Jeans are so common, and you may want to know its history and who invented them. Jeans were invented by a German named Levi Strauss. He went to the U.S. in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (矿石), they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕开). In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans-tough pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.
At the beginning, Levi’s jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldn’t think of wearing jeans. Women didn’t wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool. But jeans still weren’t proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the U.S., fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned (禁止) jeans because of their “rebel” (叛逆) image. But casual clothing including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.
Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere. Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them.
They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. That’s probably why you own a pair or two, or seven, yourself.
