Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked hard on, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts (花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads – the commander, and tails – the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, desperate to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution (革命).” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I thought it was unfair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Finally, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance appeared as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my choice to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
4. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A. Informal. B. Funny. C. Creative. D. Confusing.
5. Why was the author uncertain about the task?
A. He was a newcomer in the school.
B. His grandfather’s advice didn’t work.
C. He was unfamiliar with American history.
D. He forgot what the teacher asked him to do.
6. What does the underlined word “desperate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Angry. B. Eager. C. Confident. D. Uninterested.
7. How did the author turn things around in the end?
A. By redoing the task.
B. With the help of the teacher.
C. By working hard for several months.
D. By telling the headmaster the whole thing.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在完成老师交待的任务时,对美国历史不是很熟悉,介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿,而是另外一个人。在课堂上,读自己写的有关人物的报告时,引起了同学的嘲笑,分数也很低,接下来的时间,作者努力学习,并最终取得了好的成绩。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.(我自豪地读着我的话,环顾了一下教室,只见我的同学们在笑,眼里含着泪水。我疑惑地瞥了一眼面无表情的老师。)”以及下文陈述作者把发明花生数百种用途的华盛顿当成了美国总统华盛顿推知,作者的同学认为作者的文章是荒唐可笑的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.(因为我的历史观念来自于我祖国的一位高龄老师,所以我从来没有听说过这个名字。当我搜索这个人的名字时,很明显,有两个人有着相同的名字,但看起来完全不同!一个发明了花生的数百种用途,而另一个则带领某种军队横跨美国。我盯着屏幕,不知道老师指的是哪一个。)”可知,作者对这个任务感到困惑是因为作者对美国的历史是不了解的。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk(我放下文章,坐在书桌前)”,“find out what I had done wrong(找出我做错了什么)”和“As a classmate began his report, it all became clear(当一位同学开始他的报告时,一切都变得清晰起来)”可知,作者完全蒙了,急切想知道自己犯了什么错误。划线的词的意思是“急切的”,和eager意思相近。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. As a result, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation.(我觉得惩罚是不合理的,我相信我应该得到第二次机会。因此,在这一学年剩下的时间里,我全身心地投入到我的学习中。十个月后,当我发现自己和祖父坐在校长办公室里,正在进行完全不同的谈话时,这个机会就出现了)”可知,最后作者通过努力工作几个月扭转了局面,故选C。
C
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in physical exercise. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said, “We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said, “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added, “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low achievement in schools.”
8. What kinds of children may do better in academic study according to paragraph one?
A. Those who work out often.
B. Those who don’t like school sports.
C. Those who join in structured activities.
D. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.
9. What are kids more likely to do in the sporting environment?
A. Give up.
B. Follow the rules.
C. Respect the teachers.
D. Understand each other better.
10. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How many sports kids did at school.
B. How scientists carried out the research.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tips on Taking Part in Team Sports
B Running for a Healthier You
C. Regular Exercise: The Key to a Healthy Heart
D. School Sport: the Secret for Better Academic Performance
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大的一项研究发现,比那些没有参与体育运动的儿童相比,参与体育运动的儿童在学习能力上表现更好,参与体育活动有助于他们集中注意力,了解尊重规则、履行责任的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come.(但定期组织的学校体育有助于孩子们在未来几年的学术研究)”和“The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.(即使在10岁时,学业能力的差异也很明显,那些从初中开始就参加体育运动的人比那些没有参加体育运动的人表现得更好)”可知,那些经常锻炼的孩子在学业上可能会做得更好。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.(体育环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是属于一个团队,一个有共同目标的特殊群体的感觉——这似乎有助于孩子们理解尊重规则和履行责任的重要性)”可知,在体育的环境中学生更有可能学会遵守规则。故选B项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.(研究人员开始对2694名6岁左右的加拿大儿童进行研究,让老师填写关于他们在学校行为的调查问卷。与此同时,通过电话或亲自采访孩子的父母,了解他们的家庭生活。四年后,为了测试这种行为有什么影响,实验又进行了一次)”可知,本段主要讲述研究人员是如何进行研究的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come.(但定期组织的学校体育有助于孩子们在未来几年的学术研究)”可知,文章主要介绍了加拿大的一项研究发现,比那些没有参与体育运动的儿童相比,参与体育运动的儿童在学习能力上表现更好。由此可知,D项“学校体育:提高学习成绩的秘密”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。
D
Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear. The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in many dictionaries. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang (俚语)”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang — by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion.
However, not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job.
When British people use language like this, it’s not surprising that some international students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or a non-native speaker.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful.
12. Why do young people use different words than adults?
A. The young live in a more multicultural society.
B. The young want to keep up with the society.
C. The young come from different backgrounds.
D. The young are educated differently at school.
13. What do we know about modern British slang words?
A. They are constantly changing.
B. They appear in many dictionaries.
C. They are closely related to fashion.
D. They can be included in a complete list.
14. Why are slang words forbidden in a school in Sheffield?
A. Teachers there don’t like slang words.
B. Using slang words harms students’ future.
C. Slang words are not allowed in universities.
D. Students there have poor communication skills.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Slang helps us to connect to the people around.
B. Non-native speakers of English needn’t learn slang.
C. Slang is used in various ways in English today.
D. English slang will enjoy a wider use.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新的单词和短语一直在出现,语言一直在变。一些语言比如说俚语在字典里是找不到的,但是俚语对于外语学习者也有很大影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. (在英国,年轻人用的词和成年人用的词不一样。生活在一个多元文化的社会中会对语言产生影响,尤其是对年轻人的语言,因为他们的朋友往往来自不同的背景。)”可知,年轻人生活在一个更加多元化的社会,所以他们和成年人的用词不同,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang —by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion. (要列出一份完整的现代英国俚语清单是不可能的——当清单完成时,它已经过时了!新词像时尚一样来来去去。)” 可知,现代英国俚语变化非常快,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job. (英国北部谢菲尔德的一所学校最近要求学生停止使用俚语。校长说,如果年轻人学会“正确”说话,这将有助于他们在大学里获得一个好位置和一份好工作。)”可知,谢菲尔德的一所学校禁止使用俚语,这样做是为了他们在大学里获得一个好位置和一份好工作,即学校禁止使用俚语是因为俚语对学生的未来有害,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful. (如果你看英语电影或电视节目,读英语杂志,在网上用英语聊天,或者对英语歌词感兴趣,那么理解俚语会很有用。)”可推知,英语俚语在很多领域,以很多方式被运用。故选C。

Are you thinking of learning a language on your own but don’t know where to start? Are you wondering how to keep on learning when meeting difficulties? ____16____

Next, cover the same material in different books. You’re coming across the same material again and again through lots of repetition. ____18____ You’re not worried about answering questions or writing exams. Don’t try to master or remember anything. Just keep letting the language wash over you.
____19____ Find materials that are interesting, real, but not too difficult when you start learning the language. Materials of a conversational nature or podcasts are easier than formal materials. But as you become more skilled in the language, you need to move from easy materials to real ones. This may sound challenging, but it helps a lot in improving you understanding of the language.
Learning a language is a challenging activity. You may doubt yourself during this process. Sometimes it helps to take a break from it. ____20____ These goals tell you that you are moving because you make no mistake as long as you continue to spend time with the language. Keep it up and one day, you will find certain things come together for you.
A. Furthermore, seek out materials that arouse your interest.
B. It also helps to set specific goals like the number of words.
C. Slowly your brain gets used to the material and the language.
D. In addition, use different materials at different stages of learning.
E. Here are some tips that help you become a successful language learner.
F. If you’re confused about the formation of a certain word, search it by yourself.

【17题详解】
上文“If you’re interested in a certain tense, you can look it up after the classroom.(如果你对某个时态感兴趣,你可以下课后查一下)”提到,可以自己查阅时态规则,结合下文“It just means that you are determined.(它只是意味着你下定决心了)”可知,G项“因此,做一个独立的学习者并不意味着你不上课”符合语境,G项中的“mean”与下文呼应,故选G。
18题详解】
根据上文“You’re coming across the same material again and again through lots of repetition.(通过大量的重复,你会一次又一次地遇到同样的材料)”和下文“You’re not worried about answering questions or writing exams.(你不担心回答问题或笔试了)”可知,重复遇到同样的材料,大脑应是会熟记下来,然后就不担心回答问题或考试,C项“慢慢地,你的大脑习惯了材料和语言”符合语境,故选C。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“Find materials that are interesting, real, but not too difficult when you start learning the language. Materials of a conversational nature or podcasts are easier than formal materials. But as you become more skilled in the language, you need to move from easy materials to real ones.(当你开始学习这门语言时,找一些有趣、真实但又不会太难的材料。会话性质的材料或播客比正式材料更容易。但是当你对这门语言越来越熟练时,你需要从简单的材料转向真正的材料)”可知,本段是说在不同学习阶段使用不同的材料,D项“此外,在不同的学习阶段使用不同的材料”符合语境,故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文“These goals tell you that you are moving because you make no mistake as long as you continue to spend time with the language.(这些目标告诉你,你正在进步,因为只要你继续花时间学习这门语言,你就不会犯错误)”中的指代“These goals”可知,空处应是提及goals,B项“设定具体的目标,比如单词的数量,也会有帮助”符合语境,且和上文并列,均是描述在语言学习过程中一些有帮助的方法,故选B。

【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:我们今天看到的南京城墙主要是内城的遗迹。修饰动词,作状语用副词mainly,故填mainly。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:皇城是为了保护故宫而建造的,故宫被命名为“紫禁城”,因为它是四壁的中心。此处作目的状语,应用动词不定式to protect,表目的,故填to protect。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:皇城是为了保护故宫而建造的,故宫被命名为“紫禁城”,因为它是四壁的中心。根据句意和center可知,此处表示“……的中心”,应用固定短语“the center of”,故填the。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:南京人非常重视保护南京城墙的工作,因为它象征着南京的历史。短语attach great importance to表示“非常重视”。故填importance。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然南京城墙的完整性比不上西安城墙,但它仍然是世界上最长的城墙之一。故填根据句意和“one of the”可知,此处应用形容词最高级,表示“最……之一”,故填longest。

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked hard on, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts (花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads – the commander, and tails – the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, desperate to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution (革命).” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I thought it was unfair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Finally, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance appeared as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my choice to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
4. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A. Informal. B. Funny. C. Creative. D. Confusing.
5. Why was the author uncertain about the task?
A. He was a newcomer in the school.
B. His grandfather’s advice didn’t work.
C. He was unfamiliar with American history.
D. He forgot what the teacher asked him to do.
6. What does the underlined word “desperate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A Angry. B. Eager. C. Confident. D. Uninterested.
7. How did the author turn things around in the end?
A. By redoing the task.
B. With the help of the teacher.
C. By working hard for several months.
D. By telling the headmaster the whole thing.
C
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in physical exercise. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said, “We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said, “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added, “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low achievement in schools.”
8. What kinds of children may do better in academic study according to paragraph one?
A. Those who work out often.
B. Those who don’t like school sports.
C. Those who join in structured activities.
D. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.
9 What are kids more likely to do in the sporting environment?
A. Give up.
B. Follow the rules.
C. Respect the teachers.
D. Understand each other better.
10. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How many sports kids did at school.
B. How scientists carried out the research.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tips on Taking Part in Team Sports
B. Running for a Healthier You
C. Regular Exercise: The Key to a Healthy Heart
D. School Sport: the Secret for Better Academic Performance
D
Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear. The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in many dictionaries. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang (俚语)”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang — by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion.
However, not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job.
When British people use language like this, it’s not surprising that some international students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or a non-native speaker.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful.
12. Why do young people use different words than adults?
A. The young live in a more multicultural society.
B. The young want to keep up with the society.
C. The young come from different backgrounds.
D. The young are educated differently at school.
13. What do we know about modern British slang words?
A. They are constantly changing.
B. They appear in many dictionaries.
C. They are closely related to fashion.
D They can be included in a complete list.
14. Why are slang words forbidden in a school in Sheffield?
A. Teachers there don’t like slang words.
B. Using slang words harms students’ future.
C. Slang words are not allowed in universities.
D. Students there have poor communication skills.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Slang helps us to connect to the people around.
B. Non-native speakers of English needn’t learn slang.
C. Slang is used in various ways in English today.
D. English slang will enjoy a wider use.
