As providers of knowledge, they are seen as playing an important 1 in the development of society（社会）. In the US, teachers are supposedly just as respected. However, I believe salaries for most teachers are far too low. In the US, most teachers can expect to 2 less than $40, 000 (272, 400 yuan) a year when they enter the field（领域）, according to Business Insider. This might 3 all right, but in some parts of the US, it’s not enough to get by（勉强过活）. In addition, teachers spend an average of（平均）$500 out­ of­ pocket to buy classroom supplies（日常用品）every semester（学期）. Some teachers even have to take on a 4 job at night to make a living. Teaching is a(n) 5 job. It’s about much more than simply passing on knowledge. Teachers have to be caregivers, therapists（治疗师）, nurses. In fact, nearly any 6 that a child might face might end up being solved by his or her teacher. Teachers spend years ­and lots of money­ earning an 7 of their own that will prepare them to become educators themselves. It’s not 8 to raise their salaries, either. Countries like Switzerland, South Korea, and Ireland pay their teachers more than the US does. The US is the richest country in the world ­ 9 money can’t buy knowledge. If salaries stay low, fewer people will want to go into teaching ­and society will suffer（遭受损失） 10 it . 1．A．role B．ball C．song 2．A．produce B．lose C．earn 3．A．look B．sound C．taste 4．A．first B．second C．third 5．A．hard B．easy C．interesting 6．A．question B．problem C．project 7．A．money B．respect C．education 8．A．unnecessary B．unimportant C．impossible 9．A．but B．and C．so 10．A．instead of B．because of C．thanks to 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．B 7．C 8．C 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了在美国教师这一职业的现状——工资低、工作辛苦。 1．句意：作为知识的提供者，他们被认为在社会发展中发挥着重要作用。 role角色，作用；ball球；song歌曲。play an important role“扮演重要角色，发挥重要作用”，固定短语，符合语境。故选A。 2．句意：据《商业内幕》报道，在美国，大多数教师进入该领域后，预计年收入不到4万美元（合272, 400元人民币）。 produce生产；lose失去；earn赚得。根据“...less than $40, 000 (272, 400 yuan) a year”可知，表示每年赚4万美元。故选C。 3．句意：这听起来不错，但在美国的一些地区，这连勉强生活都不够。 look看起来；sound听起来；taste尝起来。根据“This might...all right”可知，“This”指代作者前文说的教师每年赚4万美元这件事，它听起来不错。故选B。 4．句意：一些教师甚至不得不在晚上从事第二份工作来谋生。 first第一；second第二；third第三。根据“take on a...job at night to make a living.”可知，教师工资太低，一些教师为了谋生需要再从事一份工作，一共两个工作，所以用a second表示“又一个”。故选B。 5．句意：教书是一项艰苦的工作。 hard艰难的；easy容易的；interesting有趣的。根据“It’s about much more than simply passing on knowledge. Teachers have to be caregivers, therapists（治疗师）, nurses.”可知，教书不仅仅是传递知识，还要解决学生的很多问题，因此是艰难的。故选A。 6．句意：事实上，几乎任何孩子可能面临的难题最终都可能由他或她的老师来解决。 question（提出的）问题，与ask/answer搭配；problem（面对的）问题，与solve搭配；project项目。根据“...that a child might face might end up being solved by his or her teacher.”可知，指的是孩子面对的问题，且与“solve解决”搭配。故选B。 7．句意：教师们花费数年的时间和大量的金钱来获得自己的教育，为自己成为教育者做好准备。 money钱；respect尊重；education教育。根据“...hat will prepare them to become educators themselves.”可知，使他们自己成为老师所获得的教育。故选C。 8．句意：提高他们的工资也不是不可能的。 unnecessary必要的；unimportant不重要的；impossible不可能的。根据“Countries like Switzerland, South Korea, and Ireland pay their teachers more than the US does.”可知，美国能够像其他国家一样提高教师工资，即这件事不是不可能的。故选C。 9．句意：美国是世界上最富有的国家，但金钱买不到知识。 but但是；and并且；so所以。前后句是转折关系，表示虽然美国很富有，但知识用金钱是买不到的。故选A。 10．句意：如果工资一直很低，想从事教学的人就会减少，社会也会因此而遭受损失。 instead of代替，而不是；because of由于；thanks to多亏了。根据“fewer people will want to go into teaching ­and society will suffer（遭受损失）...it .”可知，“it”指代更少的人当老师这件事，社会因此遭受损失，表原因用because of。故选B。 二、阅读理解(40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。(共15小题，每小题1.5分) A We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process (变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击). Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”: This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy. Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very uncomfortable and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly. The third period is called the “adjustment period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor. The fourth period can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 11．According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ______. A．get married to a foreigner B．live in a big city C．go to live in a foreign country D．meet foreigners in your motherland 12．During the first period of the process, you feel ______. A．sad and lonely B．happy and excited C．angry but strong D．easy but uncomfortable 13．According to the passage, the meaning of adjustment in the fourth paragraph is______. A．攻击 B．调整 C．重视 D．扩大 14．If you organize a party without difficulties and enjoyed the good time with your buddies in the USA, you are probably in ______. A．the lst period B．the 2nd period C．the 3rd period D．the 4th period 15．We can conclude from the passage that ______. A．living in another country is fun B．it’s boring to live in another country C．knowing about culture shock is hard D．it’s not easy to deal with culture shock 【答案】 11．C 12．B 13．B 14．D 15．D 【导语】此文介绍了文化冲击的四个阶段。 11．细节理解题。根据“We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process (变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击).”可知，当我们开始住在另一个国家的时候要经历文化冲击的四个阶段。故选C。 12．根据“Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”: This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting…This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.”可知，在文化冲击的第一阶段“蜜月期”中，人们会感到兴奋、高兴。在故选B。 13．词义猜测题。根据“The third period is called the “adjustment period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.”可知，在第三阶段，你会开始意识到在新的国家里事物并不是如此的糟糕，你的幽默感更强了，也更强大了，你熬过了文化冲击。由此可知，你调整自己适应了异国的生活。故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据“The fourth period can be cal1ed “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have.”可知，在第四阶段中，你在异国过得更舒适了，可以处理大部分的问题。由此可知，在此阶段中，你可以毫无困难地举办聚会并且享受和伙伴一起度过的时光。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据首段可知，文化冲击中有四个阶段，它们可以帮助人们处理文化冲击，下文详细介绍了四个阶段的特点。可推知处理文化冲击并不容易。故选D。 B Over 400 pieces of Dehua white porcelain (德化白瓷) were shown in the National Museum of China in Beijing. This type of porcelain comes from Dehua county in Fujian Province where it acquires its name and has a history that goes back to the Song Dynasty. Now, it’s famous all over the world. Dehua white porcelain is known for its snow white color. An artist named Chen Chao says that it’s white because kaolin (高岭土) found in Dehua county has only a little iron. This makes the porcelain as white as jade (玉石). In France, it’s called “Blanc de Chine”, which means “white from China”. The porcelain is also praised for its “eggshell technique”, which is very old. This technique has gotten better over time. Now, workers can make the porcelain as thin as paper or an eggshell.    At the show, the artwork “Paper” drew much attention. It looks exactly like a roll of paper on the table, but actually it’s a piece of porcelain. Many visitors wondered 　　　　　. The process starts with putting kaolin on paper. Then, the paper and kaolin are heated in a kiln (窑) for a few days until they turn into what the maker wants them to be. By then, only the kaolin is left. Heating the shaped kaolin is not easy. Workers must be very careful to make sure the clay stays the same when it’s heated. The temperature and the mix of the clay are key. Every component in the mix must be just right. In 2006, Dehua white porcelain was named a part of China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). By mixing old Chinese art skills with new science, Dehua white porcelain helps to grow the pride of Chinese culture. 16．How does Dehua porcelain get its name? A．From its special shape. B．From its place of production. C．From its material. D．From its inventor. 17．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 3. A．how many colors it could be B．how it could be made from kaolin C．how long it takes to make the artwork D．what shapes kaolin could be made into 18．Why is Dehua white porcelain famous? A．Because of its long history. B．Because of its making process. C．Because of the kaolin full of iron. D．Because of its color and thickness. 19．What does the underlined word “component” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Temperature. B．Technology. C．Process. D．Material. 20．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Dehua white porcelain bridges the old and the young. B．Dehua white porcelain spreads Chinese culture around the world. C．Dehua white porcelain takes its leadership in the china making industry. D．Dehua white porcelain plays an important role in increasing people’s confidence in Chinese culture. 【答案】 16．B 17．B 18．D 19．D 20．D 【导语】本文介绍了非物质文化遗产德化白瓷的特点，精湛技艺和历史。 16．细节理解题。根据“This type of porcelain comes from Dehua county in Fujian Province where it acquires its name and has a history that goes back to the Song Dynasty.”可知，德华瓷的得名来自其生产地。故选B。 17．细节理解题。根据“The process starts with putting kaolin on paper. Then, the paper and kaolin are heated in a kiln (窑) for a few days until they turn into what the maker wants them to be. By then, only the kaolin is left.”可知，下文介绍了用高岭土制作白瓷的过程，选项B“如何用高岭土制成”符合语境。故选B。 18．细节理解题。根据“Dehua white porcelain is known for its snow white color”以及“The porcelain is also praised for its “eggshell technique…Now, workers can make the porcelain as thin as paper or an eggshell.”可知，德化白瓷出名是因为它的颜色雪白以及像鸡蛋壳一样薄。故选D。 19．词义猜测题。根据“Every component in the mix must be just right.”可知，此处应是指混合物必须要恰到好处，所以这里的component是指“材料”，与Material表达的词义相同。故选D。 20．细节理解题。根据“By mixing old Chinese art skills with new science, Dehua white porcelain helps to grow the pride of Chinese culture.”可推知，德化白瓷在增强人们对中国文化的信心方面发挥着重要作用。故选D。 C Sally grew up in a small country in Southeast Asia. She wanted very much to explore (探索) the big world one day. When she was in her late twenties, she got a scholarship (奖学金) to study films in England.

With only a little English, she felt separated from others. Finally, Sally moved to London and met different people from other parts of the world.

Those made her decide to try writing real growing-up stories in English, which moved many people who had similar situations like her. Sally was not lonely any more.

Everything was expensive. Not understanding the culture, she made many mistakes. With only a little English, she felt separated from others.” Sally在国外遇到很多挑战，如不了解当地文化、只会说一点英语等，这让她感到与他人隔阂。因此，她最初在国外遇到了很多挑战。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据“Those made her decide to try writing real growing-up stories in English, which moved many people who had similar situations like her. Sally was not lonely any more.” Sally在英国写了很多真实成长故事的书，这些书打动了和她有相似经历的人，这成为了她生活的转折点。因此，写作故事是让她在英国生活发生转折的关键。故选D。 24．推理判断题。根据“Sally wrote more books in English and won several awards. More people enjoyed her books, and she was invited to talk at writers’ festivals and teach in universities.” Sally在三十岁的时候写了更多的英文书籍，赢得了几个奖项，被邀请在作家节上发言，并在大学教书。这显示出她在这一时期变得自信和成功。因此，选项A是正确答案。选项B、C和D在文中并未提及。故选A。 25．最佳标题。文章主要讲述了Sally的成长经历，包括她从小地方来到英国留学，遇到文化冲击，但最终通过写作找到自己的方向，赢得了成功。因此，最适合这篇文章的标题是“成长之旅”，即A选项。B选项“改变世界的女孩”过于夸张，C选项“回家还是留在国外”和D选项“记住你是谁”都与文章内容不符。故选A。 第二节 阅读还原6选5(共5小题，每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思连贯、完整。 Peking Opera has a history of more than 200 years.

As providers of knowledge, they are seen as playing an important 1 in the development of society（社会）. In the US, teachers are supposedly just as respected. However, I believe salaries for most teachers are far too low. In the US, most teachers can expect to 2 less than $40, 000 (272, 400 yuan) a year when they enter the field（领域）, according to Business Insider. This might 3 all right, but in some parts of the US, it’s not enough to get by（勉强过活）.

This process (变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击). Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”: This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy. Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very uncomfortable and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly. The third period is called the “adjustment period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor. The fourth period can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 11．According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ______. A．get married to a foreigner B．live in a big city C．go to live in a foreign country D．meet foreigners in your motherland 12．During the first period of the process, you feel ______. A．sad and lonely B．happy and excited C．angry but strong D．easy but uncomfortable 13．According to the passage, the meaning of adjustment in the fourth paragraph is______. A．攻击 B．调整 C．重视 D．扩大 14．If you organize a party without difficulties and enjoyed the good time with your buddies in the USA, you are probably in ______. A．the lst period B．the 2nd period C．the 3rd period D．the 4th period 15．We can conclude from the passage that ______. A．living in another country is fun B．it’s boring to live in another country C．knowing about culture shock is hard D．it’s not easy to deal with culture shock B Over 400 pieces of Dehua white porcelain (德化白瓷) were shown in the National Museum of China in Beijing. This type of porcelain comes from Dehua county in Fujian Province where it acquires its name and has a history that goes back to the Song Dynasty. Now, it’s famous all over the world. Dehua white porcelain is known for its snow white color. An artist named Chen Chao says that it’s white because kaolin (高岭土) found in Dehua county has only a little iron. This makes the porcelain as white as jade (玉石). In France, it’s called “Blanc de Chine”, which means “white from China”. The porcelain is also praised for its “eggshell technique”, which is very old. This technique has gotten better over time. Now, workers can make the porcelain as thin as paper or an eggshell.    At the show, the artwork “Paper” drew much attention. It looks exactly like a roll of paper on the table, but actually it’s a piece of porcelain. Many visitors wondered 　　　　　. The process starts with putting kaolin on paper. Then, the paper and kaolin are heated in a kiln (窑) for a few days until they turn into what the maker wants them to be. By then, only the kaolin is left. Heating the shaped kaolin is not easy. Workers must be very careful to make sure the clay stays the same when it’s heated. The temperature and the mix of the clay are key. Every component in the mix must be just right. In 2006, Dehua white porcelain was named a part of China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). By mixing old Chinese art skills with new science, Dehua white porcelain helps to grow the pride of Chinese culture. 16．How does Dehua porcelain get its name? A．From its special shape. B．From its place of production. C．From its material. D．From its inventor. 17．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 3. A．how many colors it could be B．how it could be made from kaolin C．how long it takes to make the artwork D．what shapes kaolin could be made into 18．Why is Dehua white porcelain famous? A．Because of its long history. B．Because of its making process. C．Because of the kaolin full of iron. D．Because of its color and thickness. 19．What does the underlined word “component” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Temperature. B．Technology. C．Process. D．Material. 20．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Dehua white porcelain bridges the old and the young. B．Dehua white porcelain spreads Chinese culture around the world. C．Dehua white porcelain takes its leadership in the china making industry. D．Dehua white porcelain plays an important role in increasing people’s confidence in Chinese culture.
