I walked onto campus feeling nervous though I had walked to these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high. I looked at my schedule. The first period — German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn’t like, though, was that I was surrounded by students from other grades, with only five familiar faces. Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period biology. Our biology teacher is Ms Campeau, and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet”; she says “alligator”. My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge I began to feel good. However, the third period changed everything. Mr Valassidis, my English teacher, told us that would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Too many and too hard. Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While doing homework, I was often talking on the phone, or busy with a conversation online. I planned on being more attentive this year because I wanted stay an honours student. 4. What did the author mainly write about in this passage? A. Her new teachers. B. Her plan for the new year. C. Her first day of senior high. D. Her schedule for Wednesday. 5. What should students do when Ms Campeau says “alligator”? A. Stand up. B. Stop talking. C. Look at the blackboard. D. Listen carefully 6. How did the author find her first two classes? A. Unattractive. B. Informative. C. Very tiring. D. Pretty easy. 7. Why did the author feel scared during the third period? A. She couldn’t focus on her work. B. She found it challenging. C. She didn’t like the teacher. D. She did poorly at school. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者第一天的高中生活。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.(现在我上了高中，一切看起来和感觉都不一样了。)”和下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了作者第一天在高中的上学情况。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet”; she says “alligator”.(她也有自己独特的方式说“安静”；她说“短吻鳄”。)”可知，Campeau在说“安静”的时候有自己独特的方式，她说“短吻鳄”。由此可推测，当她说“alligator”的时候，她想要学生安静下来，学生们就会停止说话。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge I began to feel good.(在经历了两节没有太多挑战的课后，我开始感觉良好。)”可知，前两节课对作者来说非常简单。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Too many and too hard. Now I was scared.(太多太难了。现在我很害怕。)”可知，作者觉得第三节课的要求太多太难了，很有挑战性，所以感到害怕。故选B。 C I remember that when I was a little girl, my dad would ask me to hold the hammer when he was repairing something, so we would have time for a conversation with each other, I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family. I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days. Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing (秋千) set for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend. One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed recently. I was in a hurry, so our talk was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the chances I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realised how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams. After his death I learnt much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day. 8. What can we know about the author when she was young? A. She was good at repairing things. B. She liked playing with the hammer. C She often talked with her father. D. She learnt to take care of her family. 9. What happened when the author was at college? A. She phoned her father every Sunday morning. B. She received a call from her father every Sunday morning. C. Her father bought her a house. D. She often asked her father to talk with her. 10. Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago? A. Her father was busy putting up a swing for her daughter. B. She had got tired of talking with him. C. She was busy planning a trip. D. Her father often forgot what they had once talked about. 11. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A. The author found an excuse to forgive herself. B. The author and her father were both busy. C. The author was angry about her father’s leaving without saying goodbye. D. The author regretted missing the talks with her father. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了爸爸在世时经常找机会和作者谈话，但后来作者越来越忙，忽略了和爸爸聊天，后来爸爸去世了，作者再也没有机会和爸爸一起聊天了，内心充满了深深的遗憾。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I remember that when I was a little girl, my dad would ask me to hold the hammer when he was repairing something, so we would have time for a conversation with each other, I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.(我记得当我还是个小女孩的时候，我爸爸在修理东西的时候会让我拿着锤子，这样我们就有时间互相交谈了，我从来没有见过我爸爸喝酒或出去过夜。)”可知，作者小时候经常和爸爸聊天。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.(我长大了，离开家去上大学，从那以后，我爸爸每个星期天早上都给我打电话。)”可知，作者上大学后，每周日早上都会接到爸爸的来电。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing(秋千) set for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.(四年前，我爸爸来看我。他花了几个小时为我女儿组装了一套秋千。他让我和他谈谈，但我不得不为那个周末的旅行做准备。)”可知，四年前，由于作者要为那个周末的旅行做准备，所以没能和爸爸聊天。故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the chances I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away.(我立刻买了一张飞机票，在路上，我想起了我错过的与父亲交谈的所有机会。当我到达医院时，我父亲已经去世了。)”可知，作者在爸爸生前错过了许多次一起谈话的机会，后来爸爸去世了，作者再也没有机会和爸爸一起谈话了，“Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.”说现在是他没有时间和作者交谈，作者在这么说的时候表达了自己的遗憾，后悔错过了和爸爸聊天的机会。故选D。 D As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others. 12. What does the underlined word “overbearing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Trying to make other people obey without considering their ideas or feelings. B. Being unable to express what one really feels or like to listen to follow others’ ideas. C. liking depending on others and think others are right. D. Changing easily to adapt to new needs, conditions or ideas. 13. What might a younger child want to be according to the passage? A. A librarian. B. A doctor. C. A writer. D. A teacher. 14. Why may later children become good sellers? A. They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people. B. They are very good at persuading others. C. They have great wish to develop leadership. D. They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom. 15. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest? B. Birth Order and Marriage C. The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success D. Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭中孩子的出生顺序会对他们的性格以及未来发展产生影响，并对不同顺序的孩子所具有的特点和未来从事的职业进行了详细说明。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life(大哥哥大姐姐通常在很小的时候就培养了领导能力)”可知，哥哥和姐姐通常在早期生活中就培养了领导能力；再根据划线词前的内容“The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限)(危险在于，如果年龄较大的孩子把这个角色发挥到极限)”和后面“who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders(不听别人的话，因为他们认为自己是领导者)”可知，如果年龄较大的孩子将“领导”这一角色发挥到极致，他们就可能会成为一个“不顾他人的想法和感受，试图让他人服从”的人。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.(这可能有助于解释为什么年龄较小的孩子容易喜欢音乐、美术和写作等工作)”可推知，年龄较小的孩子可能想要成为一位作家。故选C项。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children.(后生的孩子可能是很好的卖家，因为说服可能是他们对付大孩子的唯一工具)”可知，后出生的孩子可能会成为很好的卖家，因为他们非常善于说服别人。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段第一句“As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it.(由于出生顺序显然是影响发育的众多原因之一，我们应该多加注意)”提出文章主题，文章主要说明了家庭中孩子的出生顺序会对他们的性格以及未来发展产生影响，并对不同顺序出生的孩子所具有的特点和未来可能从事的职业进行了详细说明。由此可知，D项“出生顺序对一个人性格的影响”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分 12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to deal with your homework Write it down. ___16___ Make a note on your notebook.

Always be sure to write down any homework for school so you won’t forget anything.(在你的笔记本上记下。一定要写下学校的作业，这样你就不会忘记任何事情。)”可知，这里主要讲把作业写在笔记本上，而G项Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.(保留一个家庭作业笔记本，记录你所有的家庭作业。)符合语境，其中a homework notebook与下文your notebook对应，有启下作用。故选G项。 17题详解】 由下文“It will take twice as long to get the homework done.

In my opinion, you should apologize to your mother, as she has done nothing wrong to prevent you from Internet addiction.

As students, we should devote our energy to study. When available, you may as well walk outside with your friends or take some exercise to keep fit instead of playing online games. Only in this way can you live and study happily and healthily.

I was second grade then, 7 years old. One day, on my way home from school, a lady gave me a piece of paper saying that the neighborhood was asking people to give New Year presents to those who needed them. When I got home, I showed my mother the paper and said that I wanted to take part in this plan. My mother thought this was a very good idea and encouraged me to spread kindness to others less fortunate than us. She said we would become “Neighborhood Angels (天使)”. Several days later, my mother said, “Get ready, and we will go.” “Where are we going?” I asked my mother. “I will drive you to Boots Department Store to buy something you think would be suitable for a neighborhood present.”, she replied. As we went into the store, my mother gave me £20 to pay for the present. Then she said, “I’ll see you outside in the car.” She left me alone to do the shopping. I was not used to buying things on my own, as I had always been with one of my parents before. Everything seemed very strange and confusing to me, but I carried on. I asked myself what I should buy and for whom. An idea quickly occurred to me. There was a poor boy called Ralph who lived in our neighborhood. I used to see him often without a jacket during the freezing winter months, so I decided, then and there, to buy him a warm jacket.I looked at many jackets and eventually chose a heavy blue one. The price was just within my spending limit. The assistant at the checkout asked, “Is this for someone?”, as I paid for the jacket happily. I said it was, and she wished me a Happy New Year. I felt as if I were a real“Neighborhood Angel”. Paragraph 1: That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version 1: That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. She wrote “To Ralph, From a person who cares about you” on it, after which she drove me over to Ralph’s house in the neighborhood. My mother parked down the street. I took a deep breath and dashed to his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I threw the New Year’s present down on his steps, pressed his door bell and then hid in the car. My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out came Ralph. Seeing the jacket, he looked astonished and then called his mother to come out. After hearing them say “Thanks” loudly, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be a good person spreading kindness forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no kindness in his heart will never find kindness in someone else. Possible version 2: That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. In the package, my mother included a New Year’s card, on which she wrote “Happy New Year to Ralph, From someone who cares about you”. Then we got dressed and headed for his house in the car. On the way, she asked how the idea occurred to me and I told her about Ralph. She was actually amazed at my idea. Soon, we stopped at Ralph’s house and knocked on the door. My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. Ralph was surprised to see us at the door. My mother explained, “We are ‘Neighborhood Angels’, and we are here to give out New Year’s presents.” Meanwhile, I handed the jacket to him and wished him a Happy New Year. His face lit up and he thanked us over and over again. Seeing the big smile on his face, I made up my mind to be a New Year Angel in the years ahead. As you know, angels are actually in everyone’s heart. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新年来临之际，作者接受了一个倡议：为需要的人赠送新年礼物，作者和妈妈来到商店，经过一番思考之后，作者决定给邻居一个男孩买一件夹克。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，妈妈帮我用漂亮的纸把夹克衫包起来。”可知，所以接下来应该写作者传达对小男孩的新年祝福（比如写贺卡），以及动身去送礼物； ②由第二段首句内容“我和母亲屏息静气地等着拉尔夫家的前门打开，终于它打开了。”可知，第二段可描写Ralph的反应以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：包装礼物——写留言——送礼物——感到自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.注意：notice/take notice of/pay attention to ②.做决定：decide to/determine to do/make up one's mind ③.意识到：realize/be aware of/be conscious of  情绪类 ①.关心：care about/be concerned about ②.吃惊的：astonished/amazed/surprised 【点睛】[高分句型1].

(855)8989-2398 B Finally came Wednesday! I walked onto campus feeling nervous though I had walked to these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high. I looked at my schedule. The first period — German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn’t like, though, was that I was surrounded by students from other grades, with only five familiar faces. Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period biology. Our biology teacher is Ms Campeau, and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet”; she says “alligator”. My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge I began to feel good. However, the third period changed everything. Mr Valassidis, my English teacher, told us that would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Too many and too hard. Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While doing homework, I was often talking on the phone, or busy with a conversation online. I planned on being more attentive this year because I wanted stay an honours student. 4. What did the author mainly write about in this passage? A. Her new teachers. B. Her plan for the new year. C. Her first day of senior high. D. Her schedule for Wednesday. 5. What should students do when Ms Campeau says “alligator”? A. Stand up. B. Stop talking. C. Look at the blackboard. D. Listen carefully 6. How did the author find her first two classes? A. Unattractive. B. Informative. C. Very tiring. D. Pretty easy. 7. Why did the author feel scared during the third period? A. She couldn’t focus on her work. B. She found it challenging. C. She didn’t like the teacher. D. She did poorly at school. C I remember that when I was a little girl, my dad would ask me to hold the hammer when he was repairing something, so we would have time for a conversation with each other, I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family. I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days. Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing (秋千) set for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend. One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed recently. I was in a hurry, so our talk was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the chances I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realised how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams. After his death I learnt much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day. 8. What can we know about the author when she was young? A. She was good at repairing things. B. She liked playing with the hammer. C. She often talked with her father. D. She learnt to take care of her family. 9. What happened when the author was at college? A. She phoned her father every Sunday morning. B. She received a call from her father every Sunday morning. C. Her father bought her a house. D. She often asked her father to talk with her. 10. Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago? A. Her father was busy putting up a swing for her daughter. B. She had got tired of talking with him. C. She was busy planning a trip. D. Her father often forgot what they had once talked about. 11. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A. The author found an excuse to forgive herself. B. The author and her father were both busy. C. The author was angry about her father’s leaving without saying goodbye. D. The author regretted missing the talks with her father. D As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.

I was second grade then, 7 years old. One day, on my way home from school, a lady gave me a piece of paper saying that the neighborhood was asking people to give New Year presents to those who needed them. When I got home, I showed my mother the paper and said that I wanted to take part in this plan. My mother thought this was a very good idea and encouraged me to spread kindness to others less fortunate than us. She said we would become “Neighborhood Angels (天使)”. Several days later, my mother said, “Get ready, and we will go.” “Where are we going?” I asked my mother. “I will drive you to Boots Department Store to buy something you think would be suitable for a neighborhood present.”, she replied. As we went into the store, my mother gave me £20 to pay for the present. Then she said, “I’ll see you outside in the car.” She left me alone to do the shopping. I was not used to buying things on my own, as I had always been with one of my parents before. Everything seemed very strange and confusing to me, but I carried on. I asked myself what I should buy and for whom. An idea quickly occurred to me. There was a poor boy called Ralph who lived in our neighborhood. I used to see him often without a jacket during the freezing winter months, so I decided, then and there, to buy him a warm jacket.I looked at many jackets and eventually chose a heavy blue one. The price was just within my spending limit. The assistant at the checkout asked, “Is this for someone?”, as I paid for the jacket happily. I said it was, and she wished me a Happy New Year. I felt as if I were a real“Neighborhood Angel”. Paragraph 1: That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 AACBC 6-10 CAABA 11-15 BCAAB 16-20 BABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
