I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade. At that time a new teacher Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class? she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation. After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me?”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending (依赖)on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder," she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages. English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
8. According to the passage, ________.
A. boxing rings should be round B. there should be an egg in an eggplant
C. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things D. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
9. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
10. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. Quite a lot and quite a few. B. Overlook and oversee.
C. A wise man and a wise guy. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
11. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ________.
A. curious B. crazy C. confident D. clever
D
If you’ve ever thought that dogs seem to know when people are stressed, you were right. Scientists in Ireland ran an experiment which showed that dogs can tell the difference between the smell of a person when they re relaxed and when they’re stressed.
Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast, led by scientist Clara Wilson, worked with four dogs. They taught the dogs to use a special smell-testing device with three openings. The scientists used treats and rewards (奖励) to train the dogs to find and signal the correct opening. Over time, the dogs were given harder and harder smelling jobs. The final goal was to see if they could smell stress in the breath and sweat of a person.
So the researchers collected breath and sweat samples (样品) from 36 different people. They got samples when the people were calm, and also when they were stressed. To stress people out, the scientists asked a really difficult math problem, and forced people to do it in their heads quickly. And they weren’t nice about it. They kept telling the people to hurry up, and didn’t give them any help. That lasted for three minutes. Then the researchers collected two more sweat and breath samples. They also asked the people about their level of stress, and measured their heart rates and blood pressure. Most people said they felt very stressed. On average, the heart rate increased from about 91 beats per minute to about 105 beats per minute.
The scientists used one of the stressed samples, along with two clean pieces of cloth, to train the dogs to find the stressed smell. Then came the challenge — the dogs had three choices: a sample from a calm person, a stressed sample from that same person, and a clean piece of cloth. In all, the dogs did 720 of these tests. They correctly identified the stressed sample about 94% of the time.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The smell-testing device was made by Clara.
B. Clara Wilson was an expert in training dogs.
C. The four dogs concentrated on the experiment.
D. The experiment was carried out step by step.
13. How does the third paragraph mainly develop?
A. By making a comparison. B. By describing the process.
C. By giving examples. D. By showing research findings.
14. What was the challenge for the dog?
A. Hundreds of tests. B. A clean piece of cloth.
C. The sample from the same person. D. The sample from different persons.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Learn That Dogs Can Smell Stress B. Scientists Train Dogs To Tell Smells
C. An Experiment about Smell Shocks Us D. Dogs’ Special Ability Proves Useful

The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.

Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me?”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending (依赖)on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder," she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade.”可知,有人说我是班上最差的学生,我的家人认为我没救了。我不得不重读六年级。所以在学习上,作者做的很糟糕。选项A与文意一致,故选A。
2.词句猜测题。根据第四段“but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me,”可知,但还是留意我。我七年级的时候她几乎不跟我说话。据此可推知,划线词语所在句的意思为:在我六年级后,她开始变得不亲密。选项D与文意一致,故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段中“After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard”(那天之后,她给了我很多关注,让我觉得自己很特别,我开始努力学习)可知,正是因为Miss Sadia的特别关注,使作者决定努力学习。选项D符合文意。故选D。

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages. English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
8. According to the passage, ________.
A. boxing rings should be round B. there should be an egg in an eggplant
C. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things D. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
9. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
10. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. Quite a lot and quite a few. B. Overlook and oversee.
C. A wise man and a wise guy. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
11. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ________.
A. curious B. crazy C. confident D. clever
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了英语语言作为世界上使用最广泛的英语,英语有很多的词汇表意丰富,不能按字面去理解,这反映了人类丰富的创造力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.(sweetmeats是糖果,而sweetbreads不是甜食,却是肉)”可知,sweetmeats和sweetbreads两个词的意思不同,指的是不同的事物。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?(一只goose,两只geese——那么一只moose,两只meese?)”可知,正确的复数形式是geese。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?(为什么overlook和oversee意思相反,而quite a lot和quite a few意思相近?)”可知,quite a lot与quite a few表达意思相同。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings.(英语是人类而不是计算机发明的,它反映了人类的创造力)”可知,英语是被人创造的, 它反映了人类的创造性和智慧。即通过英语语言中的许多悖论,作者想表明人类是聪明的。故选D。
D
If you’ve ever thought that dogs seem to know when people are stressed, you were right. Scientists in Ireland ran an experiment which showed that dogs can tell the difference between the smell of a person when they re relaxed and when they’re stressed.
Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast, led by scientist Clara Wilson, worked with four dogs. They taught the dogs to use a special smell-testing device with three openings. The scientists used treats and rewards (奖励) to train the dogs to find and signal the correct opening. Over time, the dogs were given harder and harder smelling jobs. The final goal was to see if they could smell stress in the breath and sweat of a person.
So the researchers collected breath and sweat samples (样品) from 36 different people. They got samples when the people were calm, and also when they were stressed. To stress people out, the scientists asked a really difficult math problem, and forced people to do it in their heads quickly. And they weren’t nice about it. They kept telling the people to hurry up, and didn’t give them any help. That lasted for three minutes. Then the researchers collected two more sweat and breath samples. They also asked the people about their level of stress, and measured their heart rates and blood pressure. Most people said they felt very stressed. On average, the heart rate increased from about 91 beats per minute to about 105 beats per minute.
The scientists used one of the stressed samples, along with two clean pieces of cloth, to train the dogs to find the stressed smell. Then came the challenge — the dogs had three choices: a sample from a calm person, a stressed sample from that same person, and a clean piece of cloth. In all, the dogs did 720 of these tests. They correctly identified the stressed sample about 94% of the time.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The smell-testing device was made by Clara.
B. Clara Wilson was an expert in training dogs.
C. The four dogs concentrated on the experiment.
D. The experiment was carried out step by step.
13. How does the third paragraph mainly develop?
A. By making a comparison. B. By describing the process.
C. By giving examples. D. By showing research findings.
14. What was the challenge for the dog?
A. Hundreds of tests. B. A clean piece of cloth.
C. The sample from the same person. D. The sample from different persons.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Learn That Dogs Can Smell Stress B. Scientists Train Dogs To Tell Smells
C. An Experiment about Smell Shocks Us D. Dogs’ Special Ability Proves Useful
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明,狗能够通过气味辨别出人类是否有压力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The scientists used treats and rewards (奖励) to train the dogs to find and signal the correct opening. Over time, the dogs were given harder and harder smelling jobs.( 科学家们用食物和奖励来训练狗找到并发出正确的信号。随着时间的推移,狗被赋予越来越难的嗅觉任务。)”可知,从第二段我们可以知道实验是逐步进行的。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“So the researchers collected breath and sweat samples (样品) from 36 different people. They got samples when the people were calm, and also when they were stressed. To stress people out, the scientists asked a really difficult math problem, and forced people to do it in their heads quickly. And they weren’t nice about it. They kept telling the people to hurry up, and didn’t give them any help. That lasted for three minutes. Then the researchers collected two more sweat and breath samples. They also asked the people about their level of stress, and measured their heart rates and blood pressure.( 因此,研究人员收集了36名不同人的呼吸和汗液样本。他们在人们平静和紧张的情况下得到了样本。为了给人们施加压力,科学家们问了一个非常难的数学题,并强迫人们在头脑中快速解决。他们对此并不友好。他们不停地叫人们快点,却不给他们任何帮助。这持续了三分钟。然后,研究人员又收集了两份汗液和呼吸样本。他们还询问了人们的压力水平,并测量了他们的心率和血压。)”可推知,本段主要是通过叙述实验的过程来展开的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Then came the challenge — the dogs had three choices: a sample from a calm person, a stressed sample from that same person, and a clean piece of cloth. In all, the dogs did 720 of these tests.( 接下来是挑战——狗有三个选择:一个来自平静的人的样本,一个来自同一个人的压力样本,还有一块干净的布。这些狗总共做了720次这样的测试。)”可知,对于狗的挑战是来自同一个人的样本。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Scientists in Ireland ran an experiment which showed that dogs can tell the difference between the smell of a person when they re relaxed and when they’re stressed.( 爱尔兰科学家进行的一项实验表明,狗可以分辨出一个人在放松和紧张时的气味。)”可知,本文主要讲的是研究表明,狗能够通过气味辨别出人类是否有压力。因此这篇文章最好的标题是“科学家发现狗狗能够嗅出压力”。故选A项。

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。
Recently I graduated from high school, and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers, 40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn't know what to do with them. The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
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。
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It turned out to be a great day for us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most. Just then, my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby. “I think she’s the very person for the flower. She lives a hard life because of bad health. She needs smiles most,” said my nephew. With these words, my nephew, followed by my niece, took the flower up to her. You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled, and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us. We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers, and received a lot of smiles in return. The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves, but also made 40 other people feel happy. I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people. Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,作者高中毕业时收到了很多鲜花,他打算让侄子侄女们把花送给别人,用这样的方式让他们知道如何对别人友好。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:只剩下一朵花了,我说应该给最需要的人……,所以应该写谁是最需要这朵花的人。要详细描述为什么这个人是最需要这朵花的,同时要刻画当这个人收到花时的感受与表现等。第二段开头是:这对我们来说是伟大的一天。本段应该写我和侄子侄女通过送花这件事的感受及明白的道理。
续写时要求短文的词数应为150左右,所以要提前构思,抓住重点,避免长篇大论。
【点睛】续写部分描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:catch sight of;more…
than;can’t wait ;give out等高级词汇;With these words,followed by my niece复合结构作状语等高级句式。
