Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, ‘Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).’(我很担心会迟到,我确实迟到了。数学老师说:‘明天要准时,否则你就会被留校’)”可知,科学课后,作者数学课迟到了。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I like my art class a lot because I get to create things.(我非常喜欢我的美术课,因为我可以创造东西。)”可知,作者认为美术课很愉快。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.(我们可以写一段话或一首诗,我写了一首关于我自己的诗。我认为这是一首好诗,老师说我用了很好的意象来表达我的感情。)”可推断,英语老师看了作者的作品后赞扬了作者。故选A项。
【7题详解】

When we first rented a home on Seven Mile Island, in Avalon and Stone Harbor in Southern New Jersey, I never thought that my family would continue to go there every summer for more than twenty years. But that is exactly what happened. The thing is, something fabulous happens when you get into a vacation routine (惯例): It becomes part of family culture.
Traveling to different destinations is great for learning new things, and we do enjoy exploring new parts of the world. But for a comfortable getaway, knowing what to expect when traveling to a favorite spot (地点) is priceless. My family takes vacations during spring break and other holidays as well. But during our repeat beach vacation I don’t feel the need to see a world wonder or spend an entire day in a museum because it’s my only chance to see amazing works of art. All that’s required of me is to bring a book and a beach chair, with no fear of missing out.
My two daughters were in grade school when we started going to the Jersey Shore; now they’re both married, and their husbands come along, too. My son wasn’t born yet the first time we rented a beach house; now he’s a teen learning to surf. As the family grows, we add to our list of family activities. There are games ranging from basketball to competitive card games.
One added advantage of repeatedly visiting the same place is being able to explore it in a way we could never do with only a one-time visit. On our seven-mile beach island, this means we’ve had time to spend exploring the wetlands and bird-wildlife refuges (保护区) that are unique to the area but don’t necessarily make the list of top beach activities for first-timers. We’ve explored up and down the coast and found our favorite spots to bike, fish, and eat.
8. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Admiring. B. Wonderful. C. Easy. D. Similar.
9. What is one reason why the author enjoys his repeat vacation?
A. It costs less money.
B. It’s comfortable and relaxing.
C. It doesn’t need careful planning.
D It’s great for learning new things.
10. What changes have the author’s family made to their vacation over the years?
A. Starting renting a beach house.
B. Asking some strangers to join them.
C. Keeping adding to family activities.
D. Doing it at different seasons every year.
11. What does the author say about traveling to the same destination?
A. It has an unexpected result.
B. It saves people a lot of time.
C. It offers a chance to do unique things.
D. It allows people to explore the place well.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自己和家人的经历论述了不断去同一个地方度假的益处。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“when you get into a vacation routine (惯例): It becomes part of family culture.(当你进入一个假期惯例时:它成为家庭文化的一部分。)” 及下文内容可知,不断去同一个地方度假成为了作者家庭文化的一部分,且有诸多益处。从而推知划线词句“something fabulous happens(一些fabulous事情发生了)”其中划线词应为“美妙的”的意思,与B项同义。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But for a comfortable getaway, knowing what to expect when traveling to a favorite spot (地点) is priceless. My family takes vacations during spring break and other holidays as well. But during our repeat beach vacation I don’t feel the need to see a world wonder or spend an entire day in a museum because it’s my only chance to see amazing works of art. All that’s required of me is to bring a book and a beach chair, with no fear of missing out.(但对于一个舒适的度假,知道当旅行到一个最喜欢的地方会发生什么是无价的。我的家人在春假和其他假期也会去度假。但在我们重复的海滩度假期间,我觉得没有必要去看世界奇观,也没有必要在博物馆里呆上一整天,因为这是我唯一能看到令人惊叹的艺术作品的机会。我所需要做的就是带一本书和一把沙滩椅,不要害怕错过。)”可知,在作者看来,去不同的地方旅行确实能增长见识,但每年去同一个地方度假让他感到悠闲、放松,因此作者喜欢重复去一个地方度假的原因之一是既舒服又放松。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the family grows, we add to our list of family activities. There are games ranging from basketball to competitive card games.(随着家庭的壮大,我们的家庭活动清单也增加了。有从篮球到竞技纸牌游戏的各种游戏。)”可知,随着家庭成员的增多,他们每年仍然去这个地方度假,但他们会不断增加、丰富家庭成员可以一起参与的活动项目。因此,这些年来,作者的家人对他们的假期做的改变是不断增加家庭活动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One added advantage of repeatedly visiting the same place is being able to explore it in a way we could never do with only a one-time visit. On our seven-mile beach island, this means we’ve had time to spend exploring the wetlands and bird-wildlife refuges (保护区) that are unique to the area but don’t necessarily make the list of top beach activities for first-timers. We’ve explored up and down the coast and found our favorite spots to bike, fish, and eat.(多次访问同一个地方的另一个好处是,我们能够以一次访问无法做到的方式探索它。在我们七英里长的海滩岛上,这意味着我们有时间探索湿地和鸟类野生动物保护区,这些都是该地区独有的,但不一定是第一次参加海滩活动的人。我们在海岸上下探索,找到了我们最喜欢的骑车、钓鱼和吃饭的地方。)”可知,作者认为,不断去同一个地方旅行会让人们深入了解这个地方,找到自己最喜欢的景点或者活动项目,可以让人们很好地探索这个地方。故选D项。

Since the 1980s, Special Olympics Unified Sports has created chances for many middle and high school students that they didn’t have before. Young athletes with intellectual (智力的) and physical disabilities (缺陷) who played in the Special Olympics could now play on middle and high school teams.

Kevin Came, a ConVal Unified basketball coach, understands the influence that these teams have on the athletes. “Unified Sports has the same influence on the athletes as all other varsity (大学) sports,” he says. “It builds their personalities, helps build sport skills, confidence, teamwork, and gives them the honor of playing for their school. Days of playing high school sports will be long remembered by the athletes as years go by.”
Unified teams are considered varsity sports, but there are no tryouts, and the spirit around both teams is always positive and encouraging.
Steve Erdody has coached Unified basketball for 10 years. “My goal is always to make it a positive experience every time, whether it be a practice or game, and that goes for opponents (对手) too. We try to get every athlete on our team to score each game, as well as help the athletes on the other team score.”
Andres Torugee, a recent Con Val graduate, played on both the Unified soccer and Unified basketball teams. “If you are considering joining a Unified sport, you should go for it because it was so much fun playing soccer and basketball and the coaches are really good and funny too,” Torugee said. “Unified and Special Olympics taught me to play as a team and to share the ball with my teammates. It was a great way to make friends.”
12. What do we know about Unified Sports?
A. It has spread worldwide.
B. It is open to the disabled only.

D. It has been popular for more than a century.
13 What does Kevin Came think of Unified Sports?

B. It is not as famous as the Olympics.
C. It has a great influence on the athletes.
D. It helps the athletes more than other varsity sports.
14. What is Steve Erdody’s goal according to the text?
A. Getting his team to win.
B. Coaching a Unified basketball team.
C. Making Unified basketball a positive experience.
D. Helping the athletes attend the Special Olympics.
15. How did Andres Torugee find Unified sports?
A. Boring. B. Helpful. C. Difficult. D. Surprising.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是Special Olympics Unified Sports开展的项目以及所带来的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“More than 1.6 million Unified teammates now compete in more than 30sports around the world.(现在有超过160万的曼联队友在世界各地参加30多项运动。)”可知,Unified Sports已经传播到世界各地。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It builds their personalities, helps build sport skills, confidence, teamwork, and gives them the honor of playing for their school. Days of playing high school sports will be long remembered by the athletes as years go by.(它塑造了他们的个性,帮助他们建立运动技能,信心,团队合作,并给他们带来了为学校效力的荣誉。随着岁月的流逝,参加高中体育运动的日子将被运动员们长久地铭记。)”可知,Kevin Came认为Unified Sports对运动员有很大的影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My goal is always to make it a positive experience every time, whether it be a practice or game, and that goes for opponents (对手) too.(我的目标是每次都让它成为一种积极的体验,无论是练习还是比赛,对手也一样。)”可知,Steve Erdody的目标是让Unified篮球成为一种积极的体验。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unified and Special Olympics taught me to play as a team and to share the ball with my teammates. It was a great way to make friends.(Unified and Special Olympics教会了我团队合作,与队友分享球权。这是一个很好的交朋友的方式。)”可知,Andres Torugee觉得Unified sports是有帮助的。故选B。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I passed the exam and successfully became a music teacher in a kindergarten.
One day, the principal was waiting for me early at the door of my office. “You’re a top student in the piano department at the college,” said the principal. “I’d like you to meet Betty.” At this time, I found that behind the principal there was a beautiful little girl with a small electric keyboard. She was a little shy, but her shiny black hair and a pair of twinkling eyes stood out.
“She can’t talk,” the principal said. “That’s why she carries a keyboard — that’s how she communicates with people — she communicates in her own way.”
Is that even possible? But I smiled at her. I held out my hand. “Hello, Betty. Welcome,” I said. She then played two notes on the keyboard in her hand, one high and one low, perfectly imitating (模仿) the tone of“hello”.
Music itself is a language, such as piano poetry — I can’t help but think of my mother’s words. “You’ll find that she does a lot of talking on that keyboard,” the principal said. “But I just couldn’t understand what she was saying.”
“Do you like our kindergarten?” I asked Betty.
Betty hit two more notes, again a high note and a low note, but clearly different from the previous “hello”. “Yes,” I explained to the principal. “Would you like to talk to children?” I asked again. This time, Betty hit three notes, a high note, a low note, and a note between them, which fitted perfectly with “dislike”. “How many people are there in your family?” I went on eagerly. Betty played a note five times as if to say “five”. I looked at her in wonder. We continued to communicate— and she even wished me “Happy birthday”, “Happy forever” and so on, which seemed to be like a piano poem, which deeply attracted me.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our special communication is getting very well.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I haven’t played the piano for more than a month.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Our special communication is getting very well. It also suddenly made me realize that music was not just a symbol of beauty and pleasure, a few simple scales, or even a boring tune, but music was indeed a language and an important means of deep conversation with others. In particular, her perseverance also woke me up, and the charm of music suddenly reminded me of my first piano teacher, who had taught me to feel the beauty of music with my heart, and to play the piano as if I were listening to the piano poems.
I haven’t played the piano for more than a month. I wonder if I could play it effectively. Although there was no music in front of me, my hands were able to find its proper place. With one song after another following, they were like some long-lost friends, waiting in line for my handshake. Gradually, I can easily communicate with my classic friends, and these piano poems make me easily relaxed and enjoyable.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者成为幼儿园音乐老师后,与不能说话却能用电子琴交流的小女孩Betty进行特殊沟通的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们的特殊沟通越来越好。”可知,第一段可描写作者与Betty通过音乐交流越来越顺畅,并意识到音乐不仅是美的象征,更是一种语言,是与人深入交流的重要手段。
②由第二段首句内容“我有一个多月没弹钢琴了。”可知,第二段可描写作者由于忙碌已经很久没有弹钢琴,但通过与Betty的交流,重新找回了对钢琴的热爱,享受音乐带来的轻松与愉悦。
2.续写线索:特殊沟通顺畅——意识到音乐是语言——想起钢琴老师——忙碌未弹琴——重新找回热爱——与钢琴“交流”——享受音乐
3.词汇激活:
行为类:
①意识到:realize/become aware of
②唤醒:wake up/awaken
③教:teach/instruct
情绪类:
①快乐:pleasure/happiness
②轻松:relaxed/at ease/stress-free

Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.

When we first rented a home on Seven Mile Island, in Avalon and Stone Harbor in Southern New Jersey, I never thought that my family would continue to go there every summer for more than twenty years. But that is exactly what happened. The thing is, something fabulous happens when you get into a vacation routine (惯例): It becomes part of family culture.
Traveling to different destinations is great for learning new things, and we do enjoy exploring new parts of the world. But for a comfortable getaway, knowing what to expect when traveling to a favorite spot (地点) is priceless. My family takes vacations during spring break and other holidays as well. But during our repeat beach vacation I don’t feel the need to see a world wonder or spend an entire day in a museum because it’s my only chance to see amazing works of art. All that’s required of me is to bring a book and a beach chair, with no fear of missing out.
My two daughters were in grade school when we started going to the Jersey Shore; now they’re both married, and their husbands come along, too. My son wasn’t born yet the first time we rented a beach house; now he’s a teen learning to surf. As the family grows, we add to our list of family activities. There are games ranging from basketball to competitive card games.
One added advantage of repeatedly visiting the same place is being able to explore it in a way we could never do with only a one-time visit. On our seven-mile beach island, this means we’ve had time to spend exploring the wetlands and bird-wildlife refuges (保护区) that are unique to the area but don’t necessarily make the list of top beach activities for first-timers. We’ve explored up and down the coast and found our favorite spots to bike, fish, and eat.
8. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Admiring. B. Wonderful. C. Easy. D. Similar.
9. What is one reason why the author enjoys his repeat vacation?
A. It costs less money.
B. It’s comfortable and relaxing.
C. It doesn’t need careful planning.
D It’s great for learning new things.
10. What changes have the author’s family made to their vacation over the years?
A. Starting renting a beach house.
B. Asking some strangers to join them.
C. Keeping adding to family activities.
D. Doing it at different seasons every year.
11. What does the author say about traveling to the same destination?
A. It has an unexpected result.
B. It saves people a lot of time.
C. It offers a chance to do unique things.
D. It allows people to explore the place well.
D
Since the 1980s, Special Olympics Unified Sports has created chances for many middle and high school students that they didn’t have before. Young athletes with intellectual (智力的) and physical disabilities (缺陷) who played in the Special Olympics could now play on middle and high school teams. More than 1.6 million Unified teammates now compete in more than 30sports around the world. Unified athletes train and play with Unified student partners.
Contoocook Valley Regional High School (ConVal) has two Unified sports programs:basketball and soccer. Kevin Came, a ConVal Unified basketball coach, understands the influence that these teams have on the athletes. “Unified Sports has the same influence on the athletes as all other varsity (大学) sports,” he says. “It builds their personalities, helps build sport skills, confidence, teamwork, and gives them the honor of playing for their school. Days of playing high school sports will be long remembered by the athletes as years go by.”
Unified teams are considered varsity sports, but there are no tryouts, and the spirit around both teams is always positive and encouraging.
Steve Erdody has coached Unified basketball for 10 years. “My goal is always to make it a positive experience every time, whether it be a practice or game, and that goes for opponents (对手) too. We try to get every athlete on our team to score each game, as well as help the athletes on the other team score.”

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I passed the exam and successfully became a music teacher in a kindergarten.
One day, the principal was waiting for me early at the door of my office. “You’re a top student in the piano department at the college,” said the principal. “I’d like you to meet Betty.” At this time, I found that behind the principal there was a beautiful little girl with a small electric keyboard. She was a little shy, but her shiny black hair and a pair of twinkling eyes stood out.
“She can’t talk,” the principal said. “That’s why she carries a keyboard — that’s how she communicates with people — she communicates in her own way.”
Is that even possible? But I smiled at her. I held out my hand. “Hello, Betty. Welcome,” I said. She then played two notes on the keyboard in her hand, one high and one low, perfectly imitating (模仿) the tone of“hello”.
Music itself is a language, such as piano poetry — I can’t help but think of my mother’s words. “You’ll find that she does a lot of talking on that keyboard,” the principal said. “But I just couldn’t understand what she was saying.”
“Do you like our kindergarten?” I asked Betty.
Betty hit two more notes, again a high note and a low note, but clearly different from the previous “hello”. “Yes,” I explained to the principal. “Would you like to talk to children?” I asked again. This time, Betty hit three notes, a high note, a low note, and a note between them, which fitted perfectly with “dislike”. “How many people are there in your family?” I went on eagerly. Betty played a note five times as if to say “five”. I looked at her in wonder. We continued to communicate— and she even wished me “Happy birthday”, “Happy forever” and so on, which seemed to be like a piano poem, which deeply attracted me.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our special communication is getting very well.
