So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead.
Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily.
Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you.

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.
The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and combining it with oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
28. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B. understand the meaning between the lines
C. express ideas based on what one has read
D. get information and keep it alive in memory
29. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
A. requires great efforts B. demands real passion
C. is less difficult than learning maths D. is as natural as learning a language
30. This passage is most probably _________.
A. an advertisement B. a book review
C. a feature story D. a news report
D
The annual International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is Harbin’s main tourist highlight. It started on January 5th, 1985, and has become the world’s biggest winter festival. The cold winters are just right for this festival.
What sets the Harbin festival apart is the size of the sculptures and the beautiful lighting. It is bigger than the ones in Sapporo, Norway, and Quebec.
At first, mainly Chinese participated, but in the last ten years, it has become an international festival and competition. As the festival grows in international participation, and as China’s economy grows, the size of the snow sculptures and ice architecture exhibits keeps growing. The work going into making these exhibits is astounding, and their size and beauty are amazing. The festival is officially held from the end of December through February. Opening dates keep changing, and ending dates partly depend on the weather.
There are plentiful flights from Beijing to Harbin from early in the morning to late at night. It takes about 3 hours to get to Ice Festival sites, including the flight to Taiping International Airport (2 hours) and taxi to the sites (1 hour). A return flight is about 1,000 yuan.
Compared with flights, a train trip can save a lot, and bullet trains are very comfortable. There are five high-speed bullet trains (about 8 hours) and nine overnight normal trains from Beijing to Harbin.
Tickets may be in big demand during the festival time so we always remind our customers to book their tickets in advance if they do want to do it themselves (bullet train tickets begin to sell 20 days in advance). If you book a tour with us, we will do all that for you. Our travel adviser will choose the best available trains to fit your schedule.
31. When did the festival start?
A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s.
32. What does the underlined word “astounding” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Challenging. D. Surprising.
33. What do we know about the festival?
A. It is held every other year. B. It closes on different dates.
C. It has a fixed opening date. D. It lasts for about three months.
34. How long does it take to get to Harbin from Beijing by bullet train?
A. 2 hours. B. 3 hours. C. 8 hours. D. 9 hours.
35. Who writes the article?
A. A travel agent. B. A flight attendant.
C. A festival organizer. D. A train station staffer.

Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away.

W: Yeah, a nice bridge that takes money from our kids’ education! The city government decided to spend a certain amount of money on the bridge. But now they’ve found out that the bridge has some problems! Last week, we had a lot of rain, remember? Some bridge workers saw pools of water in places where there shouldn’t be any. The water will affect the bridge in a few years if they don’t fix it now. So, the city government has to spend more money. But they’re going to take money away from schools. I can’t believe it!
M: Why don’t you run for office? Then you can solve our city’s problems.
W: Good idea. I think I will.

【原文】M: Good morning, everybody. I’m going to share with you my writing experiences. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I’ve been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and you know this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the thieves. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.
The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and combining it with oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
28. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B. understand the meaning between the lines
C. express ideas based on what one has read
D. get information and keep it alive in memory
29. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
A. requires great efforts B. demands real passion
C. is less difficult than learning maths D. is as natural as learning a language
30. This passage is most probably _________.
A. an advertisement B. a book review
C. a feature story D. a news report
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由W. H. Armstrong写的一本关于教育的书的基本内容以及作者对此书的看法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.(事实上,阅读的目的是表达你从文章中获得的信息)”可知,根据阿姆斯特朗的说法,阅读的目的是基于读过的东西来表达思想。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.(事实上,他们要求学生像数学和科学那样集中精力学习,尽管这两门学科的学习方式有些许不同。虽然人们普遍认为艺术只能自然获得,但实际上,学习艺术并不比学习法语或数学更自然获得)”可推知,这篇文章的作者坚持认为学习艺术需要付出巨大的努力。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.(这本小册子的目标读者是高中生,但对任何一个学习阶段的人都适用。其正式、严肃的风格与其内容非常吻合,是一本关于学校教育的学术著作)”以及介绍了由W. H. Armstrong写的一本关于教育的书的基本内容以及作者对此书的看法。由此推知,这篇文章很可能是一篇书评。故选B项。

The annual International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is Harbin’s main tourist highlight. It started on January 5th, 1985, and has become the world’s biggest winter festival. The cold winters are just right for this festival.
What sets the Harbin festival apart is the size of the sculptures and the beautiful lighting. It is bigger than the ones in Sapporo, Norway, and Quebec.
At first, mainly Chinese participated, but in the last ten years, it has become an international festival and competition. As the festival grows in international participation, and as China’s economy grows, the size of the snow sculptures and ice architecture exhibits keeps growing. The work going into making these exhibits is astounding, and their size and beauty are amazing. The festival is officially held from the end of December through February. Opening dates keep changing, and ending dates partly depend on the weather.
There are plentiful flights from Beijing to Harbin from early in the morning to late at night. It takes about 3 hours to get to Ice Festival sites, including the flight to Taiping International Airport (2 hours) and taxi to the sites (1 hour). A return flight is about 1,000 yuan.
Compared with flights, a train trip can save a lot, and bullet trains are very comfortable. There are five high-speed bullet trains (about 8 hours) and nine overnight normal trains from Beijing to Harbin.
Tickets may be in big demand during the festival time so we always remind our customers to book their tickets in advance if they do want to do it themselves (bullet train tickets begin to sell 20 days in advance). If you book a tour with us, we will do all that for you. Our travel adviser will choose the best available trains to fit your schedule.
31. When did the festival start?
A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Opening dates keep changing, and ending dates partly depend on the weather.(开幕日期不断变化,结束日期部分取决于天气。)”可知,冰雪节结束的日期根据天气而定,故每年的冰雪节都是在不同的日期结束的,故选B。
【34题详解】

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:看着我朋友们的脸,我在他们的眼中看到了同样的悲伤。句中谓语是read,空格处用非谓语动词,I和look之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,故选A。
【57题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:我认为他的画给我留下深刻印象的是他使用的颜色。think后是省略了that的宾语从句,“_____impresses me about his painting”是主语从句,从句中缺少主语,句子表示“我认为他的画给我留下深刻印象的是他使用的颜色”,空格处用what引导主语从句。故选B。
【58题详解】

【答案】Boys and girls,
It’s my great honor/privilege to be here to give/deliver a speech about body language.
Body language plays an important role in people’s daily interaction with others. Not only can it help you make yourself more easily understood but it also makes you adjust to new environment as soon as possible. How do we put body language to good use? First and foremost, when communicating with others, you need to keep smile and maintain eye contact. This will show others that you are a good listener and in turn they will listen to you. What’s more, while listening to others, you need to nod your head from time to time to demonstrate that you’re paying attention. Last but not least, you’re encouraged to use gestures to express your thoughts.
Hopefully, you can realize the importance of body language and the above-mentioned tips will go a long way towards your interaction with others. Thank you.

72. 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。
During breakfast, Alan suggested going to the Lego Land to have fun and his mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the supermarket and buy some snacks and fruits. Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.”
Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it?” he asked.
His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.”
Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom, dad and Alex came home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time. And then he wiped his tears and started to clean his room. It took him two hours to clean up his room. “I did it!” he said proudly. He even found his missing shoe. He ran to the living room. “Grandma, come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Alan's room and smiled. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn't have lost your shoe and your mom wouldn't have punished you,” she said.
Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom,dad and Alex came home. “Well, look at Alan's room! It's clean,” his dad said. “How was the Lego Land? Did you have fun? I wish I could have gone there with you,” Alan said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said. From then on, Alan tried to keep his room clean.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alan跟妈妈提议去乐高乐园玩,她的妈妈同意了。但是在临行前,Alan只找到了一只鞋,妈妈回想起她告诉Alan多少次让她把房间打扫干净,但是她总是弄的一团糟。于是Alan妈妈打算给她一个教训,没有带她去乐高乐园,而是让奶奶在家看着她把房间打扫干净。
详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Alan坐在床上哭了很长时间。”可知,第一段可描写Alan的爸爸妈妈带着Alex去了乐园后,独自伤心,痛哭之后,打扫房间的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Alan和她奶奶正坐在餐桌旁吃饭,这时她的妈妈、爸爸和Alex回家了。”可知,第二段可描写Alan的妈妈、爸爸和Alex回家后发生的故事。
2.续写线索:擦干眼泪→打扫房间→交流→感悟
3.词汇激活:
行为类
擦干眼泪:wipe one's tears / dry one's eyes
打扫房间:clean up the room/ clean the house
微笑:smile/beam with a smile
情绪类
玩得开心:have fun/ have a good time
骄傲地:proudly/with pride
【点睛】【高分句型1】
“If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said.(运用了if引导让步状语从句。)
【高分句型2】
It took him two hours to clean up his room.(运用了it作形式主语,to do作真正的主语。)
