According to Dr Eaker, the key to the problem is that some man became ___29___ about performing a role not ___30___ assigned to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from fiends and family as women who do the same. Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main carer to be a woman, and society is ___31___ around that. Daycare is called mother and toddle groups and some men feel ___32___ about belong to those groups.” Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to ___33___ the task of caring for a family. He said:“Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing , taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee. They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a ___34___of activities at the same time-the kind of multi-tasking which is second ___35___ to most of women.” It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more ___36___ positions. III. Reading Comprehension (33%) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Good news for awkward teenagers around the world.As time goes by,you could ___37___ up like a completely different person. This comes from the longest running personality study ever ___38___ by scientists.According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the U.K,our personality changes so much from youth to old age that most people's personalities in older age are barely ___39___ compared to their younger selves. The researchers analyzed results from a study in 1947,which gathered 1,208 teenagers in Scotland aged 14 and asked their teachers to ___40___.Their personalities based on six traits(特征) Now more than six decades later,the University of Edinburgh team has managed to contact 635 of the ___41___ students,and 174 agreed to have their personalities tested once more. At an average age of 76.7 years old,the group were asked to ___42___ themselves on the same six personality traits,then pick a close friend or family member to do the same. By ___43___ the then-and-now test results,the researchers found that there is hardly a relationship between traits people had as teenagers and those in their older years. It was"as if the second tests had been given to ___44___ people,"the study's researchers wrote in their report,which was published in journal Psychology and Aging. The results were a surprise because research in the past found personality ___45___ in people tested from childhood to middle-age,and from middle-age to older age. As the team explained,our personality appears stable over short intervals-___46___ so throughout adulthood.___47___,the longer the intervals between two tests of personality,the ___48___ the relationship between the two tends to be.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits. Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden’s members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they’re shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little. A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden’s benefits don’t stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area’s crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London’s Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities. 52. Community gardens are designed for those who ________. A. are concerned about food safety B. live in a house with a private plot C. can’t afford to buy organic food D. don’t have their own property 53. New York City ________. A. is owned by 20000 individual gardeners B. charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing C. contains more than 750 community gardens D. is tended by professional gardeners and local residents 54. What’s the benefit of community gardens? A. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat. B. Residents are more familiar and related with each other. C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste. D. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, 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, 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, burning 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.” 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 felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, 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. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet! 58. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamiliar with American history. B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin. C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction. D. He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task. 59. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________. A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager 60. In the end, the author turned things around ________. A. by redoing his task B. with his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfather D. under the guidance of his headmaster IV.

A 【解析】 【原文】A couple of months ago, a Chinese “diplomat” came back to China from the United States. Many US people were at the airport and said good bye to her. Who is the diplomat? She is a 3-year-old panda called Bao Bao. Bao Bao was born at the National Zoo in Washington DC, US in 2013. Her parents are Tian Tian and Mei Xiang. China sent them to the US in 2000. “We have watched Bao Bao grow up during the past three years,” said Dennis Kellly, the zoo director. “We’re going to miss her so much.” Why does Bao Bao have to come back to China? It’s because all the pandas born in foreign countries must come back to China before they turn 4. This is an agreement between China and other countries. Bao Bao spent about 16 hours on the plane home. A zookeeper and a doctor stayed with her along the way. The zoo also put bamboo, apples, biscuits, potatoes, and water on the plane. Now, Bao Bao is happy at her new home in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Questions: 11. When and where was Bao Bao born? 12. Why was Bao Bao sent back to China? 13. What can we learn about her journey back to China? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14 A. They speak too carefully. B. They don’t like foreigners. C. They use jokes and slang. D. They are poor at communication. 15. A. You are as beautiful as a queen. B. No problems. C. You are serious about small matters. D. Don’t play dramas. 16. A. Imitate their pronunciation. B. Point out their lack of patience. C. Learn to speak internationally. D. Ask them to speak slowly and clearly. 【答案】14. C 15. B 16. D 【解析】 【原文】You might expect native English speakers to be the best at speaking the English language. But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it. “Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other. And then suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,” Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications culture expert, told the BBC. Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. “English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang and make references to their country that others might not understand,” Chong said. It is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues. I am careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand. Sometimes we confuse each other though. Once I told my colleague “no dramas”, which means “no problem”. She thought I was calling her a drama queen, though, and got upset! But don’t worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker’s fault if they can’t understand you, not yours!” “English speakers with no other language often lack awareness of how to speak English internationally,” said English language teacher Dale Coulter. The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly. Questions: 1. Why are native speakers difficult to understand? 2. What does the speaker mean by “no dramas”? 3. What can you do when you can’t understand native speakers? II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20%) Section A Directions: Beneath each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence. 17. I was about to pick up the receiver_________ the phone stopped ringing, which annoyed me a lot. A. when B. while C. until D. as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句式。句意：我刚要拿起听筒，电话就不响了，这使我很恼火。A. when当..时候；B. while当…时候；C. until直到；D. as随着。分析句子结构可知，应为主语+ be about to do+ when +从句固定句式，意为“正要做莫事时，发生了另一件事”。 故选A项。 18. In such dry weather, the flowers will have to be watered if they _______. A have survived B. are to survive C. would survive D. will survive 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：在这样干燥的天气里，如果想要活下来，这些花就得浇水。在if引导的条件句中，如果主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时替代一般将来时，据此排除C、D项，动作未发生，B项用不定式可以表示将来，故选B项。 19. Experts have found that the disease_________ to a greater increase in the number of sufferers unless treated seriously when the symptom first appears. A. will lead B. leading C. leads D. is lead 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和固定句式。句意：专家已经发现，除非在症状首次出现时得到认真治疗，否则这种疾病将导致患者人数增加。空所在的从句the disease _______ to a greater increase in the number of sufferers unless treated seriously when the symptom first appears. 主语为the disease， 所填空应作谓语，从句中有unless引导的条件状语从句，且为一般现在时。遵循主将从现原则，所填动词应用一般将来时，will do结构。故选A项。 20. It is only when people live on à very limited diet_________ it is necessary to make a special effort to supply the missing vitamins. A. so B. that C. since D. until 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查强调句。句意：只有当人们以非常有限的饮食为生时，才有必要做出特别的努力来供应缺少的维生素。分析句子结构可知应为it is +强调时间状语+____+其他内容,应为强调句结构，因此所填空应为that。故选B项。 【点睛】如何判断强调句： 从本质来说，将句子中的It was/is that去掉后，剩下的句子重新整理可成立的话，是强调句。比如本题 It is only when people live on à very limited diet_____ it is necessary to make a special effort to supply the missing vitamins.,根据判断原则，将it is 去掉之后，句子为only when people live on à very limited diet_____ it is necessary to make a special effort to supply the missing vitamins，其中，only when people live on à very limited diet 为句子的时间状语从句，主句为it 做形式主语，真正主语为之后的动词不定式结构to make a special effort to supply the missing vitamins，is 为系动词，necessary为表语。是完整的句子。那么可以判断此题考查强调句式：it is+强调部分+that +其他。因此所填空为that。 21. Much as he claims he _________ a good taste of his own, he can't get rid of the influence of clever advertisements.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits. Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden’s members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they’re shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little. A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden’s benefits don’t stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area’s crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London’s Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities. 52. Community gardens are designed for those who ________. A. are concerned about food safety B. live in a house with a private plot C. can’t afford to buy organic food D. don’t have their own property 53. New York City ________. A. is owned by 20,000 individual gardeners B. charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing C. contains more than 750 community gardens D. is tended by professional gardeners and local residents 54. What’s the benefit of community gardens? A. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat. B. Residents are more familiar and related with each other. C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste. D. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists. 【答案】52. A 53. C 54. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社区花园作为一种解决城市居民食品安全问题的方式，不仅提供低成本、美味的食物，还为城市带来美化环境、促进社区关系和降低犯罪率等额外好处。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. (人们应对食品安全问题的一种方式是自己种植食物。然而，并不是每个人都住在有足够空间的土地上。一种解决方案是社区花园，这种花园在全世界都很流行，仅在北美就有1.8万个)”可知，社区花园是为那些关心食品安全的人设计的。故选A项。 53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. (事实上，纽约市有超过750个社区花园，有超过2万名成员在打理，而租一块地每年只收取1美元)”可知，纽约市有750多个社区花园。故选C项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But a garden’s benefits don’t stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area’s crime rate. (但花园的好处不止于此。它们还美化了城市，促进了居民之间的牢固关系，降低了一个地区的犯罪率)”可知，社区花园的一个好处是居民之间更熟悉，彼此相联。故选B项。 B Do you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life?

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, 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, 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, burning 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.” 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 felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, 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. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet! 58. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamiliar with American history. B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin. C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction. D. He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task. 59. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________. A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager 60. In the end, the author turned things around ________. A. by redoing his task B. with his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfather D. under the guidance of his headmaster 【答案】58. A 59. D 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，作者由于不熟悉美国历史在老师布置的作业上闹了笑话，但是凭着自己的努力扭转了局面。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.(我困惑地瞥了一眼面无表情的老师)”及第二段“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.(这似乎很简单：上网查找一个叫乔治·华盛顿的人的信息。因为我对历史的认识来自于我的祖国古代的一位老师，所以我从来没有听说过这个名字)”和“Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.(反面，我的报告将是关于发明花生酱的伟人，乔治·华盛顿·卡弗)”可知，作者的老师让作者写一篇关于美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿的报告，作者由于并不熟悉美国历史，通过抛硬币的方式选择了发明花生酱的同名之人，因此，看到其他人的反应时，作者感到很困惑。故选A。 【59题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“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.(我自豪地读着我的文字，环顾四周，发现我的同学们脸上都挂着灿烂的笑容，眼里都含着泪水。我困惑地瞥了一眼面无表情的老师)”及第三段“Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk(几周后，站在这群不友好的人群面前，我完全迷失了。哦，好吧，我放下报告，坐在我的书桌前)”及“to find out what I had done wrong.(找出我做错了什么)”可知，看到课堂上其他人的反应，作者急切地想知道自己到底哪里犯错了，burning与eager意思相近。故选D。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around.

In my opinion, there are three reasons for this phenomenon. The first is the unfair investment in education. The investment in urban schools is much more than that in rural schools. The second is the inequality of educational resources. Some schools have advanced facilities, which provide their students with a good learning environment. However, some schools only have basic ones. Finally, inequality is also reflected in the allocation of teachers. The teaching ability of teachers in developed areas is generally better, while most of the teachers in less developed areas are supporting teachers or substitute teachers. So how to solve this problem? Firstly, increase investment in education to narrow regional differences. Secondly, the allocation of resources should be reformed, and the compulsory education should be allocated as a whole. Finally, encourage experienced or highly educated teachers to teach in remote areas. At the same time, real-time courses can be applied to promote the equality of teachers. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇开放作文。要求考生谈谈造成区域教育不公平的原因和解决措施。 详解】1.词汇积累 吸引某人的注意：draw one’s attention→attract one’s attention 设备：equipment→facility 给某人提供某物：offer sb. sth.→provide sb. with sth. 解决：solve→settle 2. 句型拓展 简单句变复杂句 原句：Firstly, increase investment in education to narrow regional differences. 拓展句：Firstly, investment in education should be increased, which can help to narrow regional differences. 【点睛】[高分句型1]Some schools have advanced facilities, which provide their students with a good learning environment.(运用了which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2]The teaching ability of teachers in developed areas is generally better, while most of the teachers in less developed areas are supporting teachers or substitute teachers.
