I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until l was older. 1thought everyone in the city took the bus. because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friends’ families ate the same government-labeled food as my family ate. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Shopping with my mom made me first understand that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using, I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were provided by government so we could eat.
In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. Though my mother was uneducated, she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in poor family taught me perseverance. I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient, and how to respect people for who they are as an individual — and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. Hardworking, trust-worthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined are all words not specially connected with poor life. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from.
4. What was the author’s mom purpose of using different paper money in the shop?
A. To show her difference. B. To spend the extra stamps.
C. To support the local government. D. To buy food without real money.
5. What kind of person was the author’s mom according to paragraph 3?
A. Wise. B. Highly educated. C. Frightening. D. Impatient.
6. What is the author’s attitude to his family background?
A Careless. B. Proud. C. Annoyed. D. Disappointed.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Childhood memories. B. Sadness because of being poor.
C. Lessons from growing up poor. D. Tiring poor life.
C
There are thousands of languages in the world. But which language is the oldest? Experts use different methods to find out the age of a language.
Finding the oldest language is a challenging task, according to Danny Hieber, an expert in the study of endangered languages. “If we think that most languages can date back to an original human language, all languages are equally old,” Hieber said. However, it’s impossible to find out such language —the direct ancestor of every language in the world. Accordingly, some experts believe that the “oldest language” should belong to one with a well-established written record.
Many of the earliest recorded examples of writing come from languages that used cuneiform script (楔形文字). Among these languages are Sumerian and Akkadian, both dating back at least 4,600 years. Experts have also found Egyptian hieroglyphs that date to around the same historical period. These hieroglyphs, which can be translated into “He has united the Two Lands for his son, Dual King Peribsen,” are considered the earliest complete sentence ever discovered.
Experts generally agree that Sumerian, Akkadian and Egyptian are the oldest languages with a clear written record. All three are extinct, meaning that they are no longer used and don’t have any living followers which can carry the language to the next generation.
As for the oldest language that is still spoken, several competitors appear. Hebrew and Arabic stand out among such languages for having timelines that experts can reasonably find, according to Hieber. Although these earliest written languages only date back around 3,000 years, Hieber said, “both of them belong to the Afroasiatic language family, whose roots date back to 18, 000 to 8,000 B. C. E. , or about 20,000 to 10,000 years ago.” Even with this wide period of time, it is widely accepted that Afroasiatic is the oldest language family. But the exact point in time when Hebrew and Arabic separated from other Afroasiatic languages is heavily debated among experts.
8. How do experts determine the age of a language?
A. By studying its spoken dialects. B. By analyzing its basic grammar.
C. By examining its written records. D. By comparing it to other languages.
9. What is the value of the Egyptian hieroglyphs?
A. They’re an example of cuneiform script. B. They belong to the Afroasiatic language.
C. They provide evidence of the oldest language. D. They’re the earliest-known complete sentences.
10. What does the underlined word “extinct” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Gone B. Ancient. C. Outdated. D. Active.
11. What is the main disagreement among experts regarding Hebrew and Arabic?
A. The reason for their standing out. B. The exact time of their separation.
C. The appearance of their competitors. D. The roots of earliest written languages.
D
The evidence for harmony (和睦) may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents.
An important new study into teenage attitudes shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” says one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) but actually they have other things in their minds; they want a car and other material goods, and they worry whether school is serving them well. There’re more negotiations (协商) between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decisionmaking process.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17 year old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiations. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
One of the researchers comments, “Our astonishment that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. Now, the situation has changed.”
12. What does the new study show?
A. Teenagers are more rebellious.
B. Teenagers worry more about studies.
C. Teenagers dislike making family decisions.
D. Teenagers have more negotiations with families.
13. What can we know about today’s parents?
A. They are stricter than before.
B. They are more independent.
C They give their children more freedom.
D. They care less about their children’s life.
14. What does the underlined word “astonishment” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Surprise. B. Aim.
C. Memory. D. Option.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Discussion in family.
B. Harmony in family.
C. Teenage trouble in family.
D. Teenage education in family.
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。
How to Become a Morning Person
Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. ___16___ Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.
Shift your bedtime.
___17___ Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule. You could fall straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.
Relax before bed.
Don’t watch TV or fiddle around (摆弄) with laptops right before you go to bed because they are shining light into your eyes and maybe even tricking your brain into thinking that it’s earlier than it really is. ___18___ Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.
___19___
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. That’s because light suppresses (抑制) melatonin, a hormone (激素) that plays an important role in circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window.
Make mornings more pleasant.
Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels like less hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle. ___20___
A. Lighten up.
B. Work up a sweat.
C. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
D. But many people have great difficulty in getting up early.
E. It’s hard to stop surfing the internet late at night if you’re a night owl.
F. Make sure the light around you is not too bright when it’s close to your bedtime.
G. Knowing that something pleasant awaits can help you take that first painful step out of bed.

When he ____26____ his first class seat to her, she was extremely moved.

In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. Though my mother was uneducated, she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in poor family taught me perseverance. I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient, and how to respect people for who they are as an individual — and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. Hardworking, trust-worthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined are all words not specially connected with poor life. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from.

There are thousands of languages in the world. But which language is the oldest? Experts use different methods to find out the age of a language.
Finding the oldest language is a challenging task, according to Danny Hieber, an expert in the study of endangered languages. “If we think that most languages can date back to an original human language, all languages are equally old,” Hieber said. However, it’s impossible to find out such language —the direct ancestor of every language in the world. Accordingly, some experts believe that the “oldest language” should belong to one with a well-established written record.
Many of the earliest recorded examples of writing come from languages that used cuneiform script (楔形文字). Among these languages are Sumerian and Akkadian, both dating back at least 4,600 years. Experts have also found Egyptian hieroglyphs that date to around the same historical period. These hieroglyphs, which can be translated into “He has united the Two Lands for his son, Dual King Peribsen,” are considered the earliest complete sentence ever discovered.
Experts generally agree that Sumerian, Akkadian and Egyptian are the oldest languages with a clear written record. All three are extinct, meaning that they are no longer used and don’t have any living followers which can carry the language to the next generation.
As for the oldest language that is still spoken, several competitors appear. Hebrew and Arabic stand out among such languages for having timelines that experts can reasonably find, according to Hieber. Although these earliest written languages only date back around 3,000 years, Hieber said, “both of them belong to the Afroasiatic language family, whose roots date back to 18, 000 to 8,000 B. C. E. , or about 20,000 to 10,000 years ago.” Even with this wide period of time, it is widely accepted that Afroasiatic is the oldest language family. But the exact point in time when Hebrew and Arabic separated from other Afroasiatic languages is heavily debated among experts.
8. How do experts determine the age of a language?
A. By studying its spoken dialects. B. By analyzing its basic grammar.
C. By examining its written records. D. By comparing it to other languages.
9. What is the value of the Egyptian hieroglyphs?
A. They’re an example of cuneiform script. B. They belong to the Afroasiatic language.
C. They provide evidence of the oldest language. D. They’re the earliest-known complete sentences.
10. What does the underlined word “extinct” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Gone B. Ancient. C. Outdated. D. Active.
11. What is the main disagreement among experts regarding Hebrew and Arabic?
A. The reason for their standing out. B. The exact time of their separation.
C. The appearance of their competitors. D. The roots of earliest written languages.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了专家是如何确定语言的年龄的以及一些已经灭绝了的古老语言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Accordingly, some experts believe that the “oldest language” should belong to one with a well-established written record.(因此,一些专家认为,“最古老的语言”应该属于具有完善书面记录的语言)”可知,专家通过审查书面记录来确定一种语言的年龄。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These hieroglyphs, which can be translated into “He has united the Two Lands for his son, Dual King Peribsen,” are considered the earliest complete sentence ever discovered.(这些象形文字可以翻译成“他为他的儿子——双王佩里布森统一了两块土地”,被认为是迄今为止发现的最早的完整句子)”可知,埃及象形文字的价值在于是已知最早的完整句子。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“meaning that they are no longer used and don’t have any living followers which can carry the language to the next generation”可知,这三种语言不再被使用,也没有任何活着的追随者可以把这种语言传给下一代,即这三种语言都消失了。故划线词意思是“消失了的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the exact point in time when Hebrew and Arabic separated from other Afroasiatic languages is heavily debated among experts.(但是,希伯来语和阿拉伯语从其他亚非语言中分离出来的确切时间点在专家之间存在激烈的争论)”可知,专家们对希伯来语和阿拉伯语的主要分歧是它们分离出来的确切时间。故选B。
D
The evidence for harmony (和睦) may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents.
An important new study into teenage attitudes shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” says one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) but actually they have other things in their minds; they want a car and other material goods, and they worry whether school is serving them well. There’re more negotiations (协商) between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decisionmaking process.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17 year old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiations. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
One of the researchers comments, “Our astonishment that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. Now, the situation has changed.”
12. What does the new study show?
A. Teenagers are more rebellious.
B. Teenagers worry more about studies.
C. Teenagers dislike making family decisions.
D. Teenagers have more negotiations with families.
13. What can we know about today’s parents?
A. They are stricter than before.
B. They are more independent.
C. They give their children more freedom.
D. They care less about their children’s life.
14. What does the underlined word “astonishment” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Surprise. B. Aim.
C. Memory. D. Option.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Discussion in family.
B. Harmony in family.
C. Teenage trouble in family.
D. Teenage education in family.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“An important new study into teenage attitudes shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. (一项关于青少年态度的重要新研究表明,他们的家庭生活比以往任何时候都更加和谐。)”以及“There’re more negotiations (协商) between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decisionmaking process.(父母和孩子之间有更多的协商,孩子希望参与家庭决策过程。)”可知,研究发现现在的家庭更加和谐,孩子和父母之间的协商增多了。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. (因此,这一代的父母似乎比30年前的父母更有可能把他们的孩子当作朋友。)”以及本段中“For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.(例如,只要我完成了所有的作业,我就可以在星期六晚上出去。但是我认为我的祖父母对我的父母要严格得多。)”可知,这一代的父母更把他们的孩子当作朋友,同时通过 Daniel Lazall的例子可知,这一代父母们相比于上一代父母给孩子更多的自由。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings.(因为在我们的社会历史上有一段短暂的时期,青少年被视为不同的人。)”可知,社会历史上有一段短暂的时期,青少年被视为不同的人,而如今青少年说他们与父母相处得很好,这是让人感到意外的。故划线词与A选项为同义词,意为“惊讶”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“An important new study into teenage attitudes shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.( 一项关于青少年态度的重要新研究表明,他们的家庭生活比以往任何时候都更加和谐。)”以及通读全文可知,文章讲述了一项关于青少年态度的研究,显示出现在的家庭生活比过去更和谐。父母更愿意把孩子当作朋友,与孩子进行协商和决策。青少年也更愿意与父母沟通,家庭关系更加融洽。B选项“Harmony in family.(家庭和睦)”概括文章主要内容指出现在的家庭生活要比过去更和谐原因在于父母与孩子关系的转变促进家庭关系更加融洽。故选B。

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。
How to Become a Morning Person
Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. ___16___ Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.
Shift your bedtime.
___17___ Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule. You could fall straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.
Relax before bed.
Don’t watch TV or fiddle around (摆弄) with laptops right before you go to bed because they are shining light into your eyes and maybe even tricking your brain into thinking that it’s earlier than it really is. ___18___ Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.
___19___
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. That’s because light suppresses (抑制) melatonin, a hormone (激素) that plays an important role in circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window.
Make mornings more pleasant.
Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels like less hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle. ___20___
A. Lighten up.
B. Work up a sweat.
C. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
D. But many people have great difficulty in getting up early.
E. It’s hard to stop surfing the internet late at night if you’re a night owl.
F. Make sure the light around you is not too bright when it’s close to your bedtime.
G. Knowing that something pleasant awaits can help you take that first painful step out of bed.

考查不定代词。句意:我用“一些感恩的学生”作为署名,然后把它装进一个信封里。所填空之后为可数名词单数形式envelope,该单词发音为元音开头,故填an。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:然后我意识到我甚至不知道她的名字。我问了所有的教授,但没人知道她的名字。分析可知前后句为转折关系,故填but。
【44题详解】
考查时态和被动语态。句意:最后我去问学生服务中心的那位女士,被告知她叫凯西。根据句意理解为被告知,时态为一般过去时,故填was told。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我给她买了一束五颜六色的太阳花,把信封贴在上面。分析可知,所填空之后为名词,那么应用形容词修饰名词,colour 之后添加-ful 形容词后缀,构成形容词colourful。 故填colourful。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题中的第1小题:
There is a lady at my school _____1_____ job is to hand out call slips(借书单)
先行词为名词a lady,再分析先行词a lady在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词a lady带到从句中可知,可构成a lady’s job is to hand out call slips, 在从句中与job 形成所属关系,为其定语,应选用whose。
