I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.
One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.
We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.
We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.
4. What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?
A. The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things.
B. The writer’s father offering him a free ride.
C. The writer’s father really listening to him.
D. The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination.
5. When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________.
A. was deeply moved B. strongly disagreed
C. admired his father D. couldn’t understand
6. Which of the following words can be used to describe the father?
A. Wealthy. B. Warm-hearted.
C. Far-sighted. D. Adventurous.
7. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this text?
A. To tell a story of his father.
B. To show his respect for his father.
C. To prove his father is the best teacher.
D. To advise people to learn from the hitch-hiker.
C
Chinese high schools differ from American high schools in many ways.
The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.
In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.
In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work.
The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school.
The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught.
In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.
Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students.
8. What is the class structure for students in America?
A. They have one teacher. B. They study in the same classroom.
C. They have the same classmates. D. They have different classmates and classrooms.
9. What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about?
A. Different class structures.
B. The way information is taught.
C. How to get high marks in the final year of high school.
D. The differences of the college application process between America and China.
10. How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class?
A. By being noisy B. By being active in class discussion.
C. By having respect for teachers. D. By working hard and not speaking.
11 How does the author develop the text?
A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By comparing the differences.
D
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor (努力) through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually (习惯地) staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (哈欠) and stretch (伸懒腰). Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine (常规) work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
12. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
C. he is not sure when his energy is at peak
D. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
13. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. Not understanding energy cycles.
D. Trying to control the energy cycle of other family members.
14. If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning, he should ________.
A. change his energy cycle B. go to bed earlier
C. overcome his laziness D. get up earlier than usual
15. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.
A. keep your energy cycle under control all day
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court.
One Sunday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn before the experience was over.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the two-story brick building.
“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested, “then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.”
So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each stroke. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.
Suddenly, the unthinkable happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows.
We looked around and no one was in sight — except there was an old man stting on a porch halfway down the block.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should we do? Our ball is inside the school.”
“Well,” my brother responded, “no one will know whose ball it is. And no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway,” I added.
“Let’s go home,” my brother suggested.
“Okay,” I agreed. “Should we tell Mom and Dad?”
“I don’t know,” my brother answered.
Then we picked up the rest of our balls and headed for home, keeping silent all the way with our heads drooping.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
“What happened?” asked my mother, seeing us in low spirits.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following morning my brother and I went to the headmaster’s office.

I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.
One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.
We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.
We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.
4. What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?
A. The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things.
B. The writer’s father offering him a free ride.
C. The writer’s father really listening to him.
D. The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination.
5. When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________.
A. was deeply moved B. strongly disagreed
C. admired his father D. couldn’t understand
6. Which of the following words can be used to describe the father?
A. Wealthy. B. Warm-hearted.
C. Far-sighted. D. Adventurous.
7. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this text?
A. To tell a story of his father.
B. To show his respect for his father.
C. To prove his father is the best teacher.
D. To advise people to learn from the hitch-hiker.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲了作者和父亲在去参加拍卖会的路上,遇见一个要搭便车的人,父亲搭载了那个人并给他钱的故事。也让作者明白,仅仅一个善行就可以改变一个人的一生,父亲的行为成就了那个穷人的一天。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him. (他谈到了几年前发生在他身上的不幸的事情。他情绪低落,但我能看出他的态度正在改变,因为有人真的在听他说话。)”可知,这个搭便车的人情绪低落,但是当他在讲述自己的不幸遭遇时父亲真的在倾听,这让他的态度在改变,情绪不再那么沮丧、难过;由此可知,作者父亲的用心倾听让搭便车的人变得不再那么沮丧。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one.(我们继续开车,爸爸一句话也没说。我仍然对刚才所目睹的一切感到十分惊讶。每个人都告诉我不要搭便车的人搭乘,但我爸爸每次看到搭便车的人都会让他们搭车)”可知,作者一直听到的都是不要让搭便车的人搭车,但是这次父亲不仅让人搭车还给这人20美元,这让作者非常惊讶,他不知道父亲为什么这么做;由此可指,父亲帮助这个搭车人的时候作者不能理解父亲这种做法。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride.(一天,爸爸正开车带着我时,他注意到一个背着背包的搭便车者。他毫不犹豫地把车停在路边,让他搭车。)”以及第三段中“We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. (我们把车停在路边,爸爸告诉他要昂起头来,他很快就会好转的。他把手伸进口袋,递给搭车人一张二十美元的钞票。)”可知,父亲不仅让人搭车,得知搭车人的困境看到对方很沮丧时,鼓励对方并给对方钱来帮助对方;由最后一段中的“I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one.(每个人都告诉我不要搭顺风车,但我爸爸每次看到顺风车都这样做。)”可知,父亲每次每次看到要搭便车的人,都会让对方搭车;由此可知,父亲是一个乐于助人,热心肠的人。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会).

And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day. (当我回想起这个故事时,我明白了一个简单的善举可以改变一个人的一生。我敢肯定,我父亲的行为使那个可怜的人高兴了一天。)”以及文中所讲述的父亲去参加拍卖会的路上搭载了一个搭便车的人并且给他钱的故事可知,作者在文章中回忆了28年前父亲让别人搭便车并帮助对方的故事;因此,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了讲述28年前发生在父亲身上的一个故事。故选A。

Chinese high schools differ from American high schools in many ways.
The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.
In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.
In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work.
The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school.
The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught.
In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.
Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students.
8 What is the class structure for students in America?
A. They have one teacher. B. They study in the same classroom.
C. They have the same classmates. D. They have different classmates and classrooms.
9. What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about?
A. Different class structures.
B. The way information is taught.
C. How to get high marks in the final year of high school.
D. The differences of the college application process between America and China.
10. How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class?
A. By being noisy B. By being active in class discussion.
C. By having respect for teachers. D. By working hard and not speaking.
11. How does the author develop the text?
A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By comparing the differences.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面的不同。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The class structure(结构)is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.(班级结构是不同的。在美国,学生们在不同的教室和不同的同学一起上课,而中国学生整天都呆在同一个教室里。)”可知,美国课堂结构是学生在不同的教室与不同的同学学习。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.(除了结构上的差异,中国高中在学生申请大学的过程中也与美国高中不同。)”和第四段、第五段可知,第四段和第五段主要讲中美两国大学申请过程的不同。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.(在美国,个人表达是非常重要的。许多课程都是基于对材料的讨论,老师希望学生加入到这种对话中来,所以教室会变得嘈杂。课堂参与度,也就是学生对课堂讨论的参与程度,是学生成绩的重要组成部分,因此,一个努力学习但从不发言的学生可能会因此得到较低的分数。)”可推断,在美国课堂积极参与课堂讨论的同学最有可能得高分。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Chinese high schools differ irom American high schools in many ways.(中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面不同。)”可知,作者是通过对比中美两国高中差异来展开全文的。故选D。
D
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor (努力) through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually (习惯地) staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (哈欠) and stretch (伸懒腰). Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine (常规) work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
12. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
C. he is not sure when his energy is at peak
D. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
13. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. Not understanding energy cycles.
D. Trying to control the energy cycle of other family members.
14. If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning, he should ________.
A. change his energy cycle B. go to bed earlier
C. overcome his laziness D. get up earlier than usual
15. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.
A. keep your energy cycle under control all day
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有些人每天早起时很困难,是因为每个人都有自己独特的日常能量循环,所以每个人的习惯也不一样。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. (问题的可能解释是,约翰在晚上达到了体温和精力的峰值)”可知,对于那些早上不想起床的人来说,其体温高峰可能是在下午或晚上。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. (当丈夫和妻子认识到这些能量循环意味着什么,以及每个家庭成员都有哪些能量循环时,许多家庭争吵就结束了)”可知,很多争吵都是由于彼此之间没有意识到对方的能量周期而造成的,不了解这些能量循环,就会导致家庭争吵。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第二段“If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. (如果你早上精力不足,但一大早就有一项重要的工作要做,那就比平时早起床)”可推知,如果一个人想再早上的低峰期努力工作,他应该起得比平常早些。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. (早上慢慢起床可以节省你的能量。慢慢地打个哈欠,伸个懒腰)”可知,作者建议早上起来先慢慢地打个哈欠,伸个懒腰,因为这样有助于节约能量,从而推知,这样有助于保持一天工作所需的能量与精力。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court.
One Sunday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn before the experience was over.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the two-story brick building.
“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested, “then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.”
So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each stroke. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.
Suddenly, the unthinkable happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows.
We looked around and no one was in sight — except there was an old man stting on a porch halfway down the block.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should we do? Our ball is inside the school.”
“Well,” my brother responded, “no one will know whose ball it is. And no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway,” I added.
“Let’s go home,” my brother suggested.
“Okay,” I agreed. “Should we tell Mom and Dad?”
“I don’t know,” my brother answered.
Then we picked up the rest of our balls and headed for home, keeping silent all the way with our heads drooping.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
“What happened?” asked my mother, seeing us in low spirits.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following morning my brother and I went to the headmaster’s office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“What happened?” asked my mother, seeing us in low spirits. “Well,” my brother slowly began, “we hit the tennis ball too hard and too high and it went right through the school window”. “Oh, my goodness!” my mother exclaimed. After a short pause, her voice softened when she asked us if we had reported this to the school. Lips bitten, we shook our heads. “It will cost all of our pocket money”, I muttered. “But there is always something more important than money”, she said soothingly, patting me on the shoulder. Slowly lifting my head, I encountered my mother’s encouraging eyes and a decision was made.
The following morning my brother and I went to the headmaster’s office. Nervous and frightened, we inched into the office. There sat our stern-looking headmaster. “We have something to confess...”, we spilled our story with a hint of fear in our voices. He looked very somber and we were sure that the news was bad. Then he smiled, “I am proud of you kids for having the courage to tell me what happened”. He could see our relief as he continued, “Many windows had been broken, but you were the first ones to admit that you were responsible. For that, you don’t have to pay for the broken window, because honesty comes before anything else”.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索,讲述了作者十岁时,和哥哥收到了一份网球和网球拍的礼物。两个人都很兴奋,但镇上没有网球场。后来两兄弟决定把网球带到学校,轮流对着学校建筑打球。慢慢地,两兄弟打得越来越好,也越来越有信心。就在这时,他们不小心把学校的窗户打碎了,而周围只有一个老人。两兄弟觉得老人也不一定看见了,于是装作什么也没发生的样子回家了。
