You should do it because of the effects it has”可知，作者儿子的话非常深刻，这种思想超出了他这个年龄段应有的深度。故选A。 4．考查动词（短语）词义辨析。句意：妈妈，你做社区服务不应该仅仅因为它是分配的任务而就去完成它。A. take拿，take in意为“收留，欺骗”；B. let让，let in意为“让……进来”；C. bring带来，bring in意为“引进”；D. turn（使）转向，turn in意为“上交，完成”。根据前面的“it was assigned”可知，这里是说不能因为社区服务是学校分配的任务并且需要完成它，你才去做，“完成”是turn in。故选D。 5．考查副词词义辨析。句意：在许多方面，他的观点是绝对合理的，尽管服务时间的要求确实能让学生参与到社区的志愿工作中来，但这能激励他们在未来做志愿者吗？A. initially最初；B. merely仅仅；C. absolutely绝对地，完全地；D. previously先前地。根据上文“In many ways his opinion”可知，他的观点是绝对合理的，故选C。 6．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在许多方面，他的观点是绝对合理的，尽管服务时间的要求确实能让学生参与到社区的志愿工作中来，但这能激励他们在未来做志愿者吗？A. inspire激励；B. force强迫；C. expect期待；D. persuade说服。根据下文中的“In some cases, no”和“those same students were no longer doing any service by their senior year of high school”可知，强制志愿时间让学生们在高中最后一年不再想做任何服务，由此可知，这里是对学校强制志愿工作是否激励学生未来继续做志愿工作表示疑问。故选A。 7．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一项研究发现，当一些学校的八年级学生被要求积累特定的志愿者时间时，这些学生在高中最后一年就不再做任何服务了。A. tough艰难的；B. random随机的；C. specific特定的；D. miserable痛苦的。根据第一段中的“have a volunteer service hour minimum”可知，学校普遍有最低志愿服务时间，所以他们要求学生积累特定的服务时间。故选C。 8．考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究得出的结论是，强制性的志愿服务时间会导致“长期志愿服务的潜在损失”。A. advocated提倡；B. recommended推荐；C. assured使确信；D. concluded做出结论。根据空后的“that compulsory volunteer hours led to a “potential loss in long-term volunteering””可知，这里是对前面研究的发现所做出的结论。故选D。 9．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，其他研究人员发现，由于年轻人在高中时接触过社区服务，他们更有可能以其他方式投票和参与公民生活。A. Moreover另外；B. However然而；C. Subsequently随后；D. Similarly相似地。上文的“A study found that when 8th graders in some schools were asked to accumulate ___7___volunteer hours, those same students were no longer doing any service by their senior year of high school”讲述了一项研究发现在高中做过志愿服务的学生在高中最后一年不再做任何志愿工作，空后“other researchers discovered that young people were more likely to vote and attend civic life in other ways as a result of their ___10___to community service in high school”讲述了有高中志愿工作经历的人在以后的生活中更可能投票并参与公民生活，前后的两种研究发现形成对比，应用however。故选B。 10．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，其他研究人员发现，由于年轻人在高中时接触过社区服务，他们更有可能以其他方式投票和参与公民生活。A. response回答；B. resistance抵抗；C. access（使用或见到的）机会，权利；D. exposure接触，体验。根据第12空后的“My son’s exposure to a variety of non-profits during his high school years”可知，这里指在高中体验社区服务工作。故选D。 11．考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果青少年认识到做志愿者工作的重要性，并带着一点热情去做，那么在他们的社区为他人服务将会带来许多意想不到的好处。A. neglect忽视；B. stress强调；C. recognize识别；D. weigh权衡。根据空后的“the significance of doing volunteer work”可知，这里指青少年意识到做志愿工作的重要性。故选C。 12．考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果青少年认识到做志愿者工作的重要性，并带着一点热情去做，那么在他们的社区为他人服务将会带来许多意想不到的好处。A. benefits益处；B. requests要求，请求；C. consequences结果，后果；D. effects影响。根据下文中的“he has benefited a lot more than that”可知，做志愿工作会给人带来意想不到的好处。故选A。 13．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我儿子在高中期间接触了各种各样的非营利组织，这使他获得了大学的服务奖学金，现在他每学期必须完成75个小时的学习。A. conception概念；B. service服务；C. privilege特权；D. anticipation预期，预料。根据第一段“My son was one of the students who served as a volunteer in different services while in a high school”可知，作者的儿子参与各种志愿服务，获得了大学的服务奖学金。故选B。 14．考查固定短语辨析。句意：但对他来说，这远远不是一个要求；事实上，他受益的远不止这些。A. free from不受……伤害（或影响等的）；B. nothing but只有；C. but for要不是；D. far from远非。根据下文中的“he has benefited a lot more than that”可知，作者的儿子从做志愿服务工作中获益很多，所以每学期完成75小时的志愿服务工作远不是一项要求，空格处意为“远非”。故选D。 15．考查动词短语辨析。句意：回馈社会是他一直想做的事情。A. Going back返回；B. Giving back回报；C. Taking back退还；D. Looking back回顾。根据上文可知，本文围绕“volunteer work”进行论述，而志愿工作是一种公益性的回馈社会的行为，所以这里是说儿子一直想回馈，也就是回报社会。故选B。 Passage 5 The world is always full of wonders and new discoveries to Ivanka, a girl with an inquiring mind about the unknown in her blood.

To my 7 , the gentleman told me that he had a daughter my age, and then he opened his trunk and 8 a tool set. Right then and there, this total 9 examined my engine, explaining as he worked that my spark plugs (火花塞) hadn’t been charged for so long that they were 10 to function.  After about an hour, he 11 that my car was safe to finish the trip. 12 came at the hands of a stranger. 13 his clothes, working on a hot September afternoon, this man 14 a college student from disaster, just because she could have been his 15 . 1．A．busy B．loud C．dead D．secure 2．A．mechanic B．policeman C．manager D．guide 3．A．washing B．parking C．purchasing D．maintaining 4．A．feel B．beat C．absorb D．produce 5．A．promised B．refused C．stopped D．volunteered 6．A．solved B．noticed C．escaped D．explained 7．A．surprise B．regret C．amusement D．disappointment 8．A．called up B．pulled out C．put down D．threw away 9．A．liar B．beginner C．stranger D．loser 10．A．free B．ready C．uncertain D．unable 11．A．pronounced B．agreed C．discovered D．doubted 12．A．Tiredness B．Kindness C．Loneliness D．Carefulness 13．A．Folding B．Drying C．Soiling D．Mending 14．A．saved B．called C．judged D．banned 15．A．friend B．daughter C．coworker D．Customer Passage 4 My son was one of the students who served as a volunteer in different services while in a high school. Nowadays it is 1 for high schools to have a volunteer service hour minimum as a part of their graduation 2 . One day, I asked him why he worked long hours voluntarily every week. He gave me a reply 3 his years. He said, “Mom, you should not do community service just because it was assigned and you just need to 4 it in. You should do it because of the effects it has.” In many ways his opinion is 5 reasonable, and though the service hour requirement actually does get students to participate in volunteer work in their communities, does it 6 them to volunteer in the future? In some cases, no. A study found that when 8th graders in some schools were asked to accumulate 7 volunteer hours, those same students were no longer doing any service by their senior year of high school. It 8 that compulsory volunteer hours led to a “potential loss in long-term volunteering”. 9 , other researchers discovered that young people were more likely to vote and attend civic life in other ways as a result of their 10 to community service in high school. If teens 11 the significance of doing volunteer work and do it with a bit of enthusiasm, serving others in their communities will bring in a lot of unexpected 12 . My son’s exposure to a variety of non-profits during his high school years led him to receive a 13 scholarship for college, where he is now required to complete seventy-five hours per semester. But to him, this is 14 a requirement; actually he has benefited a lot more than that. 15 is what he has always wanted to do. 1．A．inevitable B．common C．convenient D．flexible 2．A．achievements B．ceremony C．requirements D．celebration 3．A．beyond B．of C．within D．to 4．A．take B．let C．bring D．turn 5．A．initially B．merely C．absolutely D．previously 6．A．inspire B．force C．expect D．persuade 7．A．tough B．random C．specific D．miserable 8．A．advocated B．recommended C．assured D．concluded 9．A．Moreover B．However C．Subsequently D．Similarly 10．A．response B．resistance C．access D．exposure 11．A．neglect B．stress C．recognize D．weigh 12．A．benefits B．requests C．consequences D．effects 13．A．conception B．service C．privilege D．anticipation 14．A．free from B．nothing but C．but for D．far from 15．A．Going back B．Giving back C．Taking back D．Looking back Passage 5 The world is always full of wonders and new discoveries to Ivanka, a girl with an inquiring mind about the unknown in her blood. One day, wandering through the forest surrounding her village, the 1 young girl tripped over an old, 2 treasure map hidden beneath a fallen tree. Excited by the discovery, she set her heart on 3 the hidden riches it promised. Despite her parents’ initial hesitation, fearing for her safety, Ivanka’s 4 shone through. Eventually, with their 5 , she packed her bag with essentials and embarked (出发) on her journey of treasure-hunting at dawn. The path 6 her through rushing rivers, over towering mountains, and deep into the heart of the forest, where challenges awaited at every 7 . Ivanka took over her fears with bravery, using her wits to 8 obstacles and her heart to find joy in the 9 . After days of tough travel, she arrived at the entrance of an ancient cave, where the treasure 10 lay waiting. However, as she gazed upon the glittering gold and jewels, it 11 her that the true treasure was far beyond them. What she had gone through - the 12 to face fears, the wisdom gained from overcoming challenges, and the thrill of 13 - was indeed the gain. Ivanka’s journey became a legend, a testament to the power of courage, determination, and the endless wonders of the world beyond our doorstep, which reminds us that the greatest 14 were not found in material wealth but in the 15 of one’s heart and soul. 1．A．cautious B．curious C．strange D．proud 2．A．worn B．mistaken C．shiny D．fragile 3．A．selling B．burying C．guarding D．uncovering 4．A．creation B．endurance C．stubbornness D．determination 5．A．example B．command C．permission D．performance 6．A．led B．crossed C．followed D．shipped 7．A．end B．turn C．warning D．treasure 8．A．decline B．overcome C．interpret D．witness 9．A．unknown B．revealed C．uncompleted D．predictable 10．A．surprisingly B．essentially C．invisibly D．undoubtedly 11．A．came about B．dawned on C．turned out D．showed up 12．A．wealth B．episode C．courage D．hardship 13．A．exploration B．innovation C．travel D．invention 14．A．strengths B．echoes C．riches D．trips 15．A．character B．wonder C．capacity D．fulfillment Passage 6 Mr. Dalton taught us plane geometry (平面几何) 37 years ago. I was a quiet kid. I neither got in much trouble nor got 1 . Somehow, plane geometry really 2 for me in his class. Toward the end of the year, Mr. Dalton wanted to 3 our knowledge and gave us a 25-question true/false nationally standardized test. The test presented each problem with a conclusion shown. We were required to 4 the result using our theorems (定理). I completed 24 problems quickly, but number seventeen was a 5 ! I spent thirty minutes on that proof and 6 I made it with all my efforts. 7 , I marked the question true and handed in the test. When the results came back the next day, my score was a 96, and number seventeen was 8 wrong! When Mr. Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, my hand 9 . Instead of 10 that this was a nationally standardized test and there, couldn’t be anything wrong with the answers, Mr. Dalton did the most powerful thing. I’ve ever seen a teacher do: he held out the 11 to me with an encouraging smile on his face. I went to the board for the first time and 12 my proof, using the whole board and three different colors of chalk. In the end, everyone clapped. Mr. Dalton gave 13 for my answer on number seventeen, and I ended up with a grade of 104. What I experienced that day has 14 me well. I have been 15 to Mr. Dalton for empowering me to speak up as long as I think I’m right. 1．A．caught B．tired C．confused D．noticed 2．A．clicked B．appeared C．faded D．existed 3．A．expand B．check C．update D．improve 4．A．classify B．identify C．prove D．obtain 5．A．mystery B．purpose C．challenge D．comfort 6．A．immediately B．eventually C．gradually D．consistently 7．A．Encouraged B．Embarrassed C．Depressed D．Satisfied 8．A．assumed B．indicated C．marked D．approved 9．A．shot up B．reached out C．waved about D．drew back 10．A．suspecting B．arguing C．discussing D．admitting 11．A．board B．chalk C．paper D．book 12．A．understood B．explored C．reflected D．demonstrated 13．A．credit B．cause C．account D．evaluation 14．A．known B．suited C．served D．made 15．A．polite B．true C．open D．grateful 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
