She was praised for her cruel drive, with one White House press secretary describing her questioning as torture(拷问). Her refusal to hide her strong opinions, even when asking questions to a president, made her one of the best-known journalists in Washington and a rule in her field. Marie Colvin The passionate and award-winning American journalist Marie Colvin worked as a foreign reporter at The Sunday Times from 1985 until she died in February 2012, while covering the Siege of Homs(霍姆斯的围攻) in Syria. Marie crossed into Syria on the back of a motorcycle, ignoring the Syrian government’s attempt to prevent foreign journalists from entering the country. Mary Garber In 1946, sports journalism was a man's job where female sports writers weren't allowed to enter press boxes. Mary Garber changed that by paving the way for female sports writers. She first covered high school sports and then reported on college athletics. In June 2005, she became the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors' Red Smith Award, presented annually since 1981 for major contributions to sports journalism. Ann Leslie Few reporters have filed stories from more than 70 countries, but British journalist Ann Leslie is considered a unique force in journalism. Because the 73-year-old woman has witnessed and reported on some of the most significant events of the late 20th century. She was there when the Berlin Wall came down, and she lost her shoes in the crush waiting for Nelson Mandela's release. 1. What do we know about Helen from Paragraph 1? A. She made friends with ten American presidents. B. She liked to make her strong opinions known. C. She often got into trouble due to her questions. D. She was regarded as the best journalist in America. 2. From Paragraph 2 we can infer that Marie Colvin . A. was a very brave woman B. enjoyed riding a motorcycle C. was awarded by the Syrian government D. was killed by the Syrian government 3. Who opens the door for women sports reporters? A. Helen Thomas. B. Marie Colvin. C. Mary Garber. D. Ann Leslie. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四位改变世界的女记者和她们的贡献。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Her refusal to hide her strong opinions, even when asking questions to a president, made her one of the best-known journalists in Washington and a rule in her field”（她拒绝隐藏自己强烈的观点，甚至在向总统提问时也不例外，这使她成为华盛顿最知名的记者之一，并成为她所在领域的一条规则）可知，海伦不隐藏自己的观点，是华盛顿最有名的记者之一。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Marie crossed into Syria on the back of a motorcycle, ignoring the Syrian government’s attempt to prevent foreign journalists from entering the country”（玛利不顾叙利亚政府阻止外国记者进入该国的企图，骑着一辆摩托车进入叙利亚）可知，玛利不管叙利亚政府的阻止，骑着一辆摩托车进入叙利亚。由此推知，玛利非常勇敢。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 1946, sports journalism was a man's job where female sports writers weren't allowed to enter press boxes. Mary Garber changed that by paving the way for female sports writers. She first covered high school sports and then reported on college athletics”（1946年，体育新闻还是男性的工作，女性体育记者不允许进入记者席。玛丽·加伯(Mary Garber)为女性体育记者铺平了道路，从而改变了这种状况。她首先报道了高中体育，然后报道了大学体育）可知，玛丽·加伯打开了女体育记者的大门。故选C项。 B A scientist turned out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she dealt with it. Some children reached eagerly for the candy they saw. Some lasted a few minutes before they gave in. But others were determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reached high school, something amazing had happened. A survey found that those who were four-year-olds having enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset and inflexible. Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant (有抵抗力的) soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "characters". EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together and how one’s ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now gradually agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues are finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. 4. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text? A. To make the readers amused. B. To prove the scientists’ wisdom. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To show us how to do an IQ test. 5. The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that________. A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. the ability of sell-control plays a role in personal success C. emotional intelligence won’t show up until teen years D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence 6. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means________. A. positive B. negative C. impatient D. friendly 7. From the passage we learn that_________. A. EQ does not have any connection with IQ B. the higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is C. brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about most D. scientists haven’t discovered the way EQ and IQ work together. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了情商的重要性和一些关于情商的未解之谜。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A scientist turned out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she dealt with it.(一名科学家给每个4岁的孩子一块糖，然后观察他们如何处理，结果证明他能够预见未来)”可知，开头介绍了不同的4岁孩子对于给到糖果后的表现，以此来引出本文的主旨——情商所带给我们的影响。从而推断，作者在文章开头提到了这个实验是为了介绍本文的主题。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A survey found that those who were four-year-olds having enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset and inflexible.(一项调查发现，那些在4岁时就有足够自制力的孩子长大后通常会更受欢迎、更爱冒险、更自信、更可靠。那些在早期就屈服于诱惑的孩子更有可能是孤独的、容易沮丧的和不灵活的)”可知，对4岁儿童的实验表明，自我控制能力对个人成功起着重要作用。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.(在面对会让不那么顽强的灵魂沉沦的麻烦时)”可知，这里难以解释的问题应该是为什么有些人在困境中人保持乐观，所以upbeat为“乐观的，积极的”之意。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together(研究人员一直试图了解的是它们是如何共同作用的)”可推断，科学家还没有发现情商和智商一起工作的方式。故选D。 C The octopus( 章鱼) has been a little frightening to people for years. It seems like it could be from another planet, because the animal has eight slippery arms, each of which has its own kind of brain. It is very different from a person's brain. However, it turns out the sea creatures might be more like us than we thought. Scientists say that octopuses have been building cities underwater. Scientists have discovered that the so called "gloomy (忧郁的，幽暗的) octopus”， whose scientific name is octopus tetricus, is not that gloomy and alone after all. In Jervis Bay, in eastern Australia, this type of octopus has been seen to gather at a site that looks like a small city. Scientists have named it Octlantis. Octopuses have a way of talking to each other there and even kick each other out of the site. Professor David Scheel, leading a study on them, compares Octlantis to our towns in his new report. The octopuses might be acting the way people do to each other, he said. The discovery of Octlantis is important. It backs up scientists' ideas about what octopuses do. Another nearby octopus city in Australia was found below the water in 2009. It was thought to be the only one then. The city, named Octopolis. was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. A writer, Peter Godfrey-Smith, who wrote a book about octopuses, went diving at the underwater city. He saw it as an underwater island where octopuses would be protected. They could hide from sharks and dolphins. Octlantis does not have any human object at its center. Its ocean builders have built walls from the shells of other animals. These shells come from animals the octopuses ate. One reason for these underwater towns may be that there is a food supply nearby. The cities may help the octopus evolve(进化), or change over a long period of time. They could make octopus brains better, Godfrey-Smith said. Octopus cities let us see how the animals act. They are said to be as smart as a person who is 3 years old. 8. Why is the discovery of Octlantis important for scientists? A. It shows that octopuses could have built more cities. B. It shows that octopuses can use human objects to build cities and houses . C. It shows that octopuses know how to work in groups to find food for everyone. D. It shows that octopuses can live together in peace instead of just fighting each other. 9. Which sentence from the 4th paragraph explains why octopuses might choose to live in a city? A. It was thought to be the only one then. B. They could hide from sharks and dolphins. C. It backs up scientists' ideas about what octopuses do. D. The city was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. 10. What is the main writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. It shows how smart the octopus is. B. It shows how the octopus has evolved. C. It calls on the readers to protect the octopus. D. It explains why it is important to study octopus cities. 11. What can the readers get to know because of the discovery of octopus cities? A. Octopuses have brains even in their arms. B. Octopuses might even be smarter than humans. C. Octopuses have a lot in common with humans. D. Octopuses are very dangerous because they can work together. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现章鱼在水下建城市及其意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Scientists say that octopuses have been building cities underwater.(科学家说章鱼一直在水下建城市)”和第四段前两句“The discovery of Octlantis is important. It backs up scientists ideas about what octopuses do.( Octlantis的发现非常重要。这支持了科学家关于章鱼做什么的想法)”可知，Octlantis的发现非常重要，是因为它表明章鱼可能在水下建更多的城市。故选A项。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“He saw it as an underwater island where octopuses would be protected. They could hide from sharks and dolphins.(他把它视为章鱼可以受到保护的水下岛屿。它们可以藏在里面躲避鲨鱼和海豚)”可知，章鱼选择住在水下城市的原因是躲避鲨鱼和海豚，所以“They could hide from sharks and dolphins.”一句解释了其原因。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通读最后一段内容，结合本段倒数第二句“Octopus cities let us see how the animals act.”可知，章鱼城市让我们看到动物是如何表现的，所以本段的写作目的是解释为什么研究章鱼城市很重要。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“However, it turns out the sea creatures might be more like us than we thought.(然而，结果证明这种海洋动物可能比我们想象中的跟我们更像)”及第三段最后一句“The octopuses might be acting the way people do to each other, he said.(他说，章鱼可能按照人类对待彼此的方式去做)”可知，由于章鱼城市的发现，读者可以了解到，章鱼和人类有很多共同点。故选C项。 【点睛】 D When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ” But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring. Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的). The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole (《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age. 12. What can be concluded about White Dew? A. It is often ignored by writers and poets. B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall. C. It indicates the end of the autumn. D. It is when the temperature begins to drop. 13. Why is “A Moveable Feast” was mentioned? A. To point out that autumn is very cold. B. To show that winter will soon come. C. To present the sad part of autumn. D. To express sadness about the end of life. 14. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to? A. We can always stay young at heart. B. Autumn is an important season for man. C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old. D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned. 15. What’s the focus of the passage? A. The solar term White Dew. B. Famous writers’ description of autumn. C. Autumn weather and activities. D. Why autumn is a sad season. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一些著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“On September 7 comes White Dew(白露), the 15th solar term(节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.(9月7日是白露，这是一年中的第15个节气。它预示着凉爽秋天的开始。随着气温下降，晚上的草地和树上经常会看到露珠。)”可知，白露是气温开始下降的时候。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. (你在秋天自会感伤。每年当树叶从树上掉下来，它们的枝条裸露在寒风和寒冷的阳光下时，你的某些部分也随之死去。)”可推断，提到海明威的《流动的盛宴》是为了呈现秋天的悲伤部分，故选C项。 【14题详解】 短语猜测题。根据划线词后文“he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age(他想起，即使我们变老了，我们的心永远保持不变的年龄。)”可知，this idea即爱尔兰诗人叶芝所提醒我们的内容：我们可以永远保持年轻的心态。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，第一段提到秋天，第二段讲述秋天对作家和诗人来说难以描述，第三段到最后一段分别阐述了西方一些著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述，包括海明威、阿尔贝·加缪、约翰·济慈和叶芝等。因此推断文章主要讲述著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述。故选B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。 A study plan is an effective way to help you get through your college education in an organized way.

She was praised for her cruel drive, with one White House press secretary describing her questioning as torture(拷问). Her refusal to hide her strong opinions, even when asking questions to a president, made her one of the best-known journalists in Washington and a rule in her field. Marie Colvin The passionate and award-winning American journalist Marie Colvin worked as a foreign reporter at The Sunday Times from 1985 until she died in February 2012, while covering the Siege of Homs(霍姆斯的围攻) in Syria. Marie crossed into Syria on the back of a motorcycle, ignoring the Syrian government’s attempt to prevent foreign journalists from entering the country. Mary Garber In 1946, sports journalism was a man's job where female sports writers weren't allowed to enter press boxes. Mary Garber changed that by paving the way for female sports writers. She first covered high school sports and then reported on college athletics. In June 2005, she became the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors' Red Smith Award, presented annually since 1981 for major contributions to sports journalism. Ann Leslie Few reporters have filed stories from more than 70 countries, but British journalist Ann Leslie is considered a unique force in journalism. Because the 73-year-old woman has witnessed and reported on some of the most significant events of the late 20th century. She was there when the Berlin Wall came down, and she lost her shoes in the crush waiting for Nelson Mandela's release. 1. What do we know about Helen from Paragraph 1? A. She made friends with ten American presidents. B. She liked to make her strong opinions known. C. She often got into trouble due to her questions. D. She was regarded as the best journalist in America. 2. From Paragraph 2 we can infer that Marie Colvin . A. was a very brave woman B. enjoyed riding a motorcycle C. was awarded by the Syrian government D. was killed by the Syrian government 3. Who opens the door for women sports reporters? A. Helen Thomas. B. Marie Colvin. C. Mary Garber. D. Ann Leslie. B A scientist turned out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she dealt with it. Some children reached eagerly for the candy they saw. Some lasted a few minutes before they gave in. But others were determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reached high school, something amazing had happened. A survey found that those who were four-year-olds having enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset and inflexible. Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant (有抵抗力的) soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "characters". EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together and how one’s ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now gradually agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues are finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. 4. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text? A. To make the readers amused. B. To prove the scientists’ wisdom. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To show us how to do an IQ test. 5. The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that________. A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. the ability of sell-control plays a role in personal success C. emotional intelligence won’t show up until teen years D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence 6. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means________. A. positive B. negative C. impatient D. friendly 7. From the passage we learn that_________. A. EQ does not have any connection with IQ B. the higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is C. brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about most D. scientists haven’t discovered the way EQ and IQ work together. C The octopus( 章鱼) has been a little frightening to people for years. It seems like it could be from another planet, because the animal has eight slippery arms, each of which has its own kind of brain. It is very different from a person's brain. However, it turns out the sea creatures might be more like us than we thought. Scientists say that octopuses have been building cities underwater. Scientists have discovered that the so called "gloomy (忧郁的，幽暗的) octopus”， whose scientific name is octopus tetricus, is not that gloomy and alone after all. In Jervis Bay, in eastern Australia, this type of octopus has been seen to gather at a site that looks like a small city. Scientists have named it Octlantis. Octopuses have a way of talking to each other there and even kick each other out of the site. Professor David Scheel, leading a study on them, compares Octlantis to our towns in his new report. The octopuses might be acting the way people do to each other, he said. The discovery of Octlantis is important. It backs up scientists' ideas about what octopuses do. Another nearby octopus city in Australia was found below the water in 2009. It was thought to be the only one then. The city, named Octopolis. was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. A writer, Peter Godfrey-Smith, who wrote a book about octopuses, went diving at the underwater city. He saw it as an underwater island where octopuses would be protected. They could hide from sharks and dolphins. Octlantis does not have any human object at its center. Its ocean builders have built walls from the shells of other animals. These shells come from animals the octopuses ate. One reason for these underwater towns may be that there is a food supply nearby. The cities may help the octopus evolve(进化), or change over a long period of time. They could make octopus brains better, Godfrey-Smith said. Octopus cities let us see how the animals act. They are said to be as smart as a person who is 3 years old. 8. Why is the discovery of Octlantis important for scientists? A. It shows that octopuses could have built more cities. B. It shows that octopuses can use human objects to build cities and houses . C. It shows that octopuses know how to work in groups to find food for everyone. D. It shows that octopuses can live together in peace instead of just fighting each other. 9. Which sentence from the 4th paragraph explains why octopuses might choose to live in a city? A. It was thought to be the only one then. B. They could hide from sharks and dolphins. C. It backs up scientists' ideas about what octopuses do. D. The city was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. 10. What is the main writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. It shows how smart the octopus is. B. It shows how the octopus has evolved. C. It calls on the readers to protect the octopus. D. It explains why it is important to study octopus cities. 11 What can the readers get to know because of the discovery of octopus cities? A. Octopuses have brains even in their arms. B. Octopuses might even be smarter than humans. C. Octopuses have a lot in common with humans. D Octopuses are very dangerous because they can work together. D When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ” But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring. Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的). The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole (《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age. 12. What can be concluded about White Dew? A. It is often ignored by writers and poets. B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall. C. It indicates the end of the autumn. D. It is when the temperature begins to drop. 13. Why is “A Moveable Feast” was mentioned? A. To point out that autumn is very cold. B. To show that winter will soon come. C. To present the sad part of autumn. D. To express sadness about the end of life. 14. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to? A. We can always stay young at heart. B. Autumn is an important season for man. C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old. D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned. 15. What’s the focus of the passage? A. The solar term White Dew. B. Famous writers’ description of autumn. C. Autumn weather and activities. D. Why autumn is a sad season. 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。 A study plan is an effective way to help you get through your college education in an organized way.
