第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
Q: At recess (课间休息), I don’t know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don’t like or don’t want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?
Alex Rider. 13. Bloomfield.
A: In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5. I was never really into kickball games. So, like You, I spent many days at recess standing alone.
Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn’t your thing, then try making new friends.
Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want to do, don’t let your time go to waste.
Johnny Hayes, 15
A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex? I do because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess—which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch.
So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me. “What do you want to do?” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles (弹子游戏)! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I’m not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There’s no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won’t like. You might just surprise yourself.
Philip Galanes, adult
26. Who is asking for advice?
A. Alex Rider. B. Johnny Hayes. C. Susie. D. Philip Galanes.
27. One of Philip’s suggestions is to __________.
A. read a book B. talk to a teacher
C. do what you feel like doing D. stand without doing anything
28. Why do Johnny and Philip mention the kickball game at their schools?
A. To encourage Alex to surprise himself with a new game.
B. To encourage Alex to make use of the new game.
C. To show they were good at the kickball game.
D. To show they shared similar experiences.
B
Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled(贴标签)each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize(认 出)certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames(昵称)more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别)and race(种族)stereotypes(刻板印象)can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.
29. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.
B. There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.
C. A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.
D. It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.
30. Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.
A. their different cultures B. a self-fulfilling prophecy
C. racial stereotypes D. their living environment
31. According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.
A. wear glasses B. have big eyes C. look beautiful D. have round faces
32. What do we know from this research?
A. Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.
B. Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,
C. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.
D. People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.
C
Feeling upset is part of life. Sometimes stress happens at home or school. It may leave us feeling angry or worried. We cannot control everything that happens around us. However, we can learn to calm ourselves down. With practice, we can learn useful ways to keep cool when we feel upset.
Remove yourself from the situation
Disagreements with other people can be hard to deal with. They can lead to upset feelings. Sometimes we need to get away from the situation. It is OK to say, “I’m going to take a break.” Then you can go for a walk. Or you can find a quiet place to sit. The purpose is to give yourself some space to calm down.
Accept your thoughts
Feeling upset is natural. Everyone gets upset sometimes. Accepting that we are upset is healthy. If we accept it, we can choose what to do about it. We can even talk to ourselves about how we’re feeling. When you are upset, say something like this in your head, “I’m feeling really upset right now. That is OK. I can control what I do next.”
Change your language
When we’re upset, sometimes we use unkind words to punish ourselves. We don’t have to do that. To calm down, we can try to say something to make ourselves feel comfortable. For example, instead of saying, “I am always in trouble,” we might say, “I made a mistake. It happens to everyone. Next time I’ll do it differently.”
Do breathing (呼吸) exercises
When we feel upset, the heart beats faster. The body prepares as if it is going to be in a fight. You can use breathing to calm down. If possible, find a place where you can sit comfortably. Then focus on (专注于) your breath, breathing deeply and slowly. This practice slows down the heart and helps us calm down.
33. The underlined expression “give yourself some space” in Paragraph 2 means __________ .
A. going for a walk B. spending time alone C. working with others D. stopping being friends
34. If you try to accept your thoughts, you can __________.
A. talk with your best friends to ask for advice B. keep quiet to relax yourself
C. find it healthy to be upset sometimes D. get away from the situation
35. How can we do breathing exercises according to the article?
①Pay attention to our breath. ②Try to take a deep and slow breath.
③Talk to ourselves to slow down the heart. ④Find a comfortable place to sit if possible.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
36. From the article, we can know that __________.
A. disagreements with others can lead to upset feeling
B. It’s necessary to use unkind words to punish ourselves
C. we are able to control everything that happens around us
D. doing breathing exercises helps to make the heart beat faster
D
As we walked down the shore, Ben Gunn told his story.“I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton(骷髅). I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came to look for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire(乡绅) and the doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade(木寨). We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers(反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to see again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols(手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened.But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.
(Adapted from Treasure Island)

三、阅读理解。(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
Q: At recess (课间休息), I don’t know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don’t like or don’t want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?
Alex Rider. 13. Bloomfield.
A: In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5. I was never really into kickball games. So, like You, I spent many days at recess standing alone.
Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn’t your thing, then try making new friends.
Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want to do, don’t let your time go to waste.
Johnny Hayes, 15
A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex? I do because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess—which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch.
So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me. “What do you want to do?” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles (弹子游戏)! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I’m not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There’s no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won’t like. You might just surprise yourself.
Philip Galanes, adult
26. Who is asking for advice?
A. Alex Rider. B. Johnny Hayes. C. Susie. D. Philip Galanes.
27. One of Philip’s suggestions is to __________.
A. read a book B. talk to a teacher
C. do what you feel like doing D. stand without doing anything
28. Why do Johnny and Philip mention the kickball game at their schools?
A To encourage Alex to surprise himself with a new game.
B. To encourage Alex to make use of the new game.
C. To show they were good at the kickball game.
D. To show they shared similar experiences.
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要由一个提问和两个回答构成。在课间休息时间,13岁的Alex因为不喜欢参与朋友的游戏而只能独自站着,为此苦恼的他提问了“应该怎么做”的问题。Johnny和Philip就此事给了Alex一些自己的意见和建议。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据提问中“What should I do?”以及落款可知,是Alex Rider提出问题并目想要得到建议。故选A。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据Johnny的回答“I was never really into playing kickball. So, like you, I spent many days atrecess standing alone.”和Philip的回答“When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess which was too vigorous for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot.”可知,Johnny因为不喜欢儿童足球游戏,在休息时间是独自站着的;而Philip因为儿童足球游戏太过激烈在休息时间也只能独自站着;他们的这些经历几乎都和Alex一样,所以Johnny和Philip提及儿童足球游戏是为了说明他们和Alex有着相似的经历。故选D。
B
Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled(贴标签)each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize(认 出)certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames(昵称)more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别)and race(种族)stereotypes(刻板印象)can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.
29. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.
B. There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.
C. A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.
D. It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.
30. Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.
A. their different cultures B. a self-fulfilling prophecy
C. racial stereotypes D. their living environment
31. According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.
A. wear glasses B. have big eyes C. look beautiful D. have round faces
32. What do we know from this research?
A. Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.
B. Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,
C. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.
D. People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.
【答案】29. A 30. B 31. D 32. C
【解析】
【分析】本文讲述人们可以根据外表猜测出别人的名字。一个人的外表会受名字的影响。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look”可知,人类倾向于把人的名字和他们的外表联系起来,甚至可以根据他们的外表猜别人的名字。所以这篇文章告诉我们人们可以通过外表猜测别人的名字,故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“This kind of face-name matching happens “because of s process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”可知,这种面孔和名字的匹配是因为自我实现预言的过程,因为我们会成为别人期望我们成为的人。所以他认为是因为自我实现的预言,故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round”可知,人们倾向于认为叫鲍勃的男人应该有更圆的脸。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten”可知,每10个名字中,志愿者们猜对了近4个,所以有40%的正确率,故选C。
C
Feeling upset is part of life. Sometimes stress happens at home or school. It may leave us feeling angry or worried. We cannot control everything that happens around us. However, we can learn to calm ourselves down. With practice, we can learn useful ways to keep cool when we feel upset.
Remove yourself from the situation
Disagreements with other people can be hard to deal with. They can lead to upset feelings. Sometimes we need to get away from the situation. It is OK to say, “I’m going to take a break.” Then you can go for a walk. Or you can find a quiet place to sit. The purpose is to give yourself some space to calm down.
Accept your thoughts
Feeling upset is natural. Everyone gets upset sometimes. Accepting that we are upset is healthy. If we accept it, we can choose what to do about it. We can even talk to ourselves about how we’re feeling. When you are upset, say something like this in your head, “I’m feeling really upset right now. That is OK. I can control what I do next.”
Change your language
When we’re upset, sometimes we use unkind words to punish ourselves. We don’t have to do that. To calm down, we can try to say something to make ourselves feel comfortable. For example, instead of saying, “I am always in trouble,” we might say, “I made a mistake. It happens to everyone. Next time I’ll do it differently.”
Do breathing (呼吸) exercises
When we feel upset, the heart beats faster. The body prepares as if it is going to be in a fight. You can use breathing to calm down. If possible, find a place where you can sit comfortably. Then focus on (专注于) your breath, breathing deeply and slowly. This practice slows down the heart and helps us calm down.
33. The underlined expression “give yourself some space” in Paragraph 2 means __________ .
A. going for a walk B. spending time alone C. working with others D. stopping being friends
34. If you try to accept your thoughts, you can __________.
A. talk with your best friends to ask for advice B. keep quiet to relax yourself
C. find it healthy to be upset sometimes D. get away from the situation
35. How can we do breathing exercises according to the article?
①Pay attention to our breath. ②Try to take a deep and slow breath.
③Talk to ourselves to slow down the heart. ④Find a comfortable place to sit if possible.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
36. From the article, we can know that __________.
A. disagreements with others can lead to upset feeling
B. It’s necessary to use unkind words to punish ourselves
C. we are able to control everything that happens around us
D. doing breathing exercises helps to make the heart beat faster

As we walked down the shore, Ben Gunn told his story.“I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton(骷髅). I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came to look for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire(乡绅) and the doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade(木寨). We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers(反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to see again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols(手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened.But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.
