C When I was growing up, Father Christmas played an important part in my family’s Christmas tradition. Each year my parents would feed us a light meal, make sure we put on our new pajamas (睡衣), and put us to bed. Father Christmas himself was going to leave presents at night! A few hours later, my mom would wake us up telling us to hurry up because he was getting ready to leave. With our eyes barely (勉强地) open, we would go down the stairs and Father Christmas would meet us at the bottom of the stairs by name, tell us how good we were that year, and hand us each a present. In all the excitement, we didn’t realize that our dad was missing until he walked in the door. When I was 8 years old, my mom very gently (温柔地) and lovingly told me that Father Christmas was just a fun story. She then asked me to never tell my younger sisters or any of the other kids in our family. She believed every child should decide on their own when they were ready to move on and know the truth about Father Christmas. It was a promise I have kept all these years. Until this year. My youngest is 10, and I thought other children might make fun of him if he were to say Father Christmas was real. So I gently mentioned that there really wasn’t a man who lived in the North Pole. “Oh, okay. I know that.” I then told him not to ever tell anyone else, especially his two cousins, who at 7 and 5 still believe. I didn’t want him to blow my father’s cover. “Mom, I know Father Christmas is Grandpa and I won’t say anything to them.” It then dawned on ( 开始明白) me that for my children, Father Christmas would always be real. For them, he was their grandfather who took the time each year to dress up and their grandmother helped him get ready so that their Christmas could be a little more special. My mother was right; Christmas is the spirit of love and giving. 8. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Her great expectation of Father Christmas. B. The importance of Father Christmas to her. C. Her memories of Christmas celebrations in her family. D. The preparation her family made for Christmas Eve. 9. Why did the author’s mother let her keep the secret of Father Christmas from other kids? A. She wanted to give them a surprise. B. She didn’t know how to explain it. C. She didn’t think they were old enough to understand it. D. She thought they should decide when to unlock it by themselves. 10. What does the underlined part “blow my father’s cover” mean in Paragraph 7? A. Say no to the Christmas present from my father. B. Regard my father as the real Father Christmas. C. Tell the truth about my father dressing up as Father Christmas. D. Notice my father being away from the family party at Christmas. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The True Spirit of Christmas B. The Real Life of Father Christmas C. A Secret My Son Found at Christmas D. My Experience of Meeting Father Christmas D B The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior. Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction, or, Internet Addiction Disorder. The addiction is obvious from the popularity of one game alone: “Halo 2”. It’s a first-person shooter developed by Bungie Studios for the Xbox video game console. By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360,000 Chinese players. China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers who are so addicted to it that they neglect anything else. Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers. “The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved in online games. I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout. She has had treatment in Beijing for her addiction. What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in their brains. Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings. When they’re away from the screen, they suffer feelings of anxiety and headaches. Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from. 12. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To show his worries about Internet Addiction. B. To show harm of Internet Addiction C. To warn couples of the problem. D. To introduce the topic of the passage. 13. How much time in total had Chinese game players spent on “Halo 2” by early 2005? A. 1 million hours. B. 94 million hours C. 100 million hours. D. 360,000 hours 14. When video gamers get lost in a game, they do the following EXCEPT that _______. A. They forget time, space, hunger and everything. B. They drink a lot of alcohol and use drug. C. They feel confident in the virtual games D. Their brains produce a chemical which makes them delighted. 15. what is the passage mainly about? A. Internet is bad for teenagers B. Actions should be taken to deal with Internet Addiction C. Web produces Internet Addiction Disorder D. Teenagers should not play video games 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。 US scientist Michael Miller made a new experiment with his team and they found something interesting.

One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely. By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. The owner sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, and I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper. Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By then we had named the dog. It was Kevin, so we called it Kevin. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I wondered in my heart whether I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Kevin was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing for me to do. 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。 But I had to make a decision. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The woman said, “Where is my dog?

(冰岛是一个北欧国家，拥有令人惊叹的自然美景和周围的海洋。这里有许多火山)”可知，此处是在介绍冰岛，所以划线词所在句是说冰岛的夏天很短，从六月持续到八月。it指代前文中提到的“冰岛”。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Summer in Iceland is a golden season for tourists. Every year, people from all over the world come here to see the beautiful sights and enjoy the exciting whale-seeing.(冰岛的夏天是旅游者的黄金季节。每年，来自世界各地的人们都会来这里欣赏美丽的风景，享受令人兴奋的观鲸活动)”可知，在夏天，游客可以在冰岛看到鲸鱼。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In winter, when people in Iceland finish their daily work, they will have different special activities to spend the long dark night. Skating, riding snow motorbikes and having parties can really make an exciting night. After all the fun, a hot bath must be the first choice to relax. There are also story-telling activities for children, which can teach them to be strong and kind. The most popular stories are about Christmas in Iceland.(在冬天，当冰岛人完成日常工作时，他们会有不同的特殊活动来度过漫长的黑夜。滑冰、骑雪地摩托车和举办派对真的可以让夜晚变得激动人心。在所有的乐趣之后，洗个热水澡一定是放松的首选。还有给孩子们讲故事的活动，可以教会他们坚强和善良。最受欢迎的故事是关于冰岛的圣诞节)”可知，这一段主要介绍冰岛人如何度过冬天漫长的黑夜。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Because of a long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing season. (由于冬季漫长而寒冷，冰岛的生长季节很短)”可知，冰岛的生长季节很短是由于漫长而寒冷的冬季。故选C。 C When I was growing up, Father Christmas played an important part in my family’s Christmas tradition. Each year my parents would feed us a light meal, make sure we put on our new pajamas (睡衣), and put us to bed. Father Christmas himself was going to leave presents at night! A few hours later, my mom would wake us up telling us to hurry up because he was getting ready to leave. With our eyes barely (勉强地) open, we would go down the stairs and Father Christmas would meet us at the bottom of the stairs by name, tell us how good we were that year, and hand us each a present. In all the excitement, we didn’t realize that our dad was missing until he walked in the door. When I was 8 years old, my mom very gently (温柔地) and lovingly told me that Father Christmas was just a fun story. She then asked me to never tell my younger sisters or any of the other kids in our family. She believed every child should decide on their own when they were ready to move on and know the truth about Father Christmas. It was a promise I have kept all these years. Until this year. My youngest is 10, and I thought other children might make fun of him if he were to say Father Christmas was real. So I gently mentioned that there really wasn’t a man who lived in the North Pole. “Oh, okay. I know that.” I then told him not to ever tell anyone else, especially his two cousins, who at 7 and 5 still believe. I didn’t want him to blow my father’s cover. “Mom, I know Father Christmas is Grandpa and I won’t say anything to them.” It then dawned on ( 开始明白) me that for my children, Father Christmas would always be real. For them, he was their grandfather who took the time each year to dress up and their grandmother helped him get ready so that their Christmas could be a little more special. My mother was right; Christmas is the spirit of love and giving. 8. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Her great expectation of Father Christmas. B. The importance of Father Christmas to her. C. Her memories of Christmas celebrations in her family. D. The preparation her family made for Christmas Eve. 9. Why did the author’s mother let her keep the secret of Father Christmas from other kids? A. She wanted to give them a surprise. B. She didn’t know how to explain it. C. She didn’t think they were old enough to understand it. D. She thought they should decide when to unlock it by themselves. 10. What does the underlined part “blow my father’s cover” mean in Paragraph 7? A. Say no to the Christmas present from my father. B. Regard my father as the real Father Christmas. C. Tell the truth about my father dressing up as Father Christmas. D. Notice my father being away from the family party at Christmas. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The True Spirit of Christmas B. The Real Life of Father Christmas C. A Secret My Son Found at Christmas D. My Experience of Meeting Father Christmas 【答案】8 C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一直为扮演圣诞老人的父亲让作者明白了圣诞节的真正意义。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Each year my parents would feed us a light meal, make sure we put on our new pajamas (睡衣), and put us to bed. Father Christmas himself was going to leave presents at night! A few hours later, my mom would wake us up telling us to hurry up because he was getting ready to leave. With our eyes barely (勉强地) open, we would go down the stairs and Father Christmas would meet us at the bottom of the stairs by name, tell us how good we were that year, and hand us each a present.(每年，我父母都会给我们吃一顿便饭，确保我们穿上新睡衣，然后上床睡觉。圣诞老人晚上会留下礼物！几个小时后，我妈妈会叫醒我们，让我们快点，因为他正准备离开。我们几乎睁不开眼睛，走下楼梯，圣诞老人会在楼梯底部点名迎接我们，告诉我们那年有多好，并递给我们每人一份礼物。)”可知，作者在此处回忆小时候她家如何庆祝圣诞节。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She believed every child should decide on their own when they were ready to move on and know the truth about Father Christmas(她相信每个孩子都应该自己决定什么时候可以继续前进，知道圣诞老人的真相)”可知，作者的母亲认为孩子们应该自己决定何时做好准备知道圣诞老人的秘密。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分前的“I then told him not to ever tell anyone else(然后我告诉他永远不要告诉别人)”以及下一段中的“I know Father Christmas is Grandpa and I won’t say anything to them(我知道圣诞老人是爷爷，我不会对他们说任何实情)”可知，作者的小儿子已经知道圣诞老人是祖父扮演的，而作者不想让家里的其他孩子也知道自己父亲的特殊身份，因此让小儿子保密。所以猜测blow one’s cover表示“揭穿某人的伪装”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It then dawned on ( 开始明白) me that for my children, Father Christmas would always be real. For them, he was their grandfather who took the time each year to dress up and their grandmother helped him get ready so that their Christmas could be a little more special. My mother was right; Christmas is the spirit of love and giving.(然后我意识到，对于我的孩子们来说，圣诞老人永远是真实的。对他们来说，他是他们的祖父，每年都会抽出时间打扮自己，他们的祖母会帮他做好准备，这样他们的圣诞节就会更特别一些。我母亲是对的；圣诞节是爱和给予的精神。)”以及上文可知，作者通过讲述自己的父亲一直为家里的孩子们扮演圣诞老人的故事，表达了自己对圣诞节精神的理解。她认为虽然圣诞老人是由自己的父亲扮演的，但是圣诞节的精神是真的，那便是家人间的爱与给予。因此A项The True Spirit of Christmas(真正的圣诞精神)最能概括和升华文章主题，且与末句中的Christmas is the spirit of love and giving相呼应。故选A项。 D B The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior. Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction, or, Internet Addiction Disorder. The addiction is obvious from the popularity of one game alone: “Halo 2”. It’s a first-person shooter developed by Bungie Studios for the Xbox video game console. By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360,000 Chinese players. China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers who are so addicted to it that they neglect anything else. Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers. “The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved in online games. I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout. She has had treatment in Beijing for her addiction. What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in their brains. Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings. When they’re away from the screen, they suffer feelings of anxiety and headaches. Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from. 12. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To show his worries about Internet Addiction. B. To show harm of Internet Addiction C. To warn couples of the problem. D. To introduce the topic of the passage. 13. How much time in total had Chinese game players spent on “Halo 2” by early 2005? A. 1 million hours. B. 94 million hours C. 100 million hours. D. 360,000 hours 14. When video gamers get lost in a game, they do the following EXCEPT that _______. A. They forget time, space, hunger and everything. B. They drink a lot of alcohol and use drug. C. They feel confident in the virtual games D. Their brains produce a chemical which makes them delighted. 15. what is the passage mainly about? A. Internet is bad for teenagers B. Actions should be taken to deal with Internet Addiction C. Web produces Internet Addiction Disorder D. Teenagers should not play video games 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了网络导致网络成瘾的社会问题，说明了网络成瘾造成的危害以及原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior.(被忽视的婴儿独自哭泣。这个年轻人睡眠不足，威胁要自杀。婚姻破裂是因为丈夫的疯狂行为)”以及第二段“Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction, or, Internet Addiction Disorder.(这只是现代社会崩溃的又一个故事吗？不是真的。但它们是一个现实社会问题的结果——网络成瘾，或称网络成瘾障碍)”可推知，作者写第一段的主要目的是介绍文章的主题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360,000 Chinese players.(到2005年初，全球已有100万玩家在这款游戏上投入了1亿小时的时间，其中有36万小时是中国玩家)”可知，截至2005年初，中国玩家在《光晕2》上花了36万小时。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything(我忘记了时间，空间，饥饿，疼痛，所有的一切)”；倒数第二段中“Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings.(游戏会刺激一种化合物的产生，产生愉悦或愉快的感觉)”以及最后一段中“Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from.(专家表示，年轻人被电子游戏所吸引，部分原因是他们被推到了游戏活动的中心。这让他们克服了那个年龄的人经常会遇到的缺乏自信的问题)”可知，B选项“他们大量饮酒和吸毒”不是他们会做的事情。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction, or, Internet Addiction Disorder.(但它们是一个现实社会问题的结果——网络成瘾，或称网络成瘾障碍)”结合文章主要说明了网络导致网络成瘾的社会问题，说明了网络成瘾造成的危害以及原因。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是网络导致网络成瘾。故选C。 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。 US scientist Michael Miller made a new experiment with his team and they found something interesting.

One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely. By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. The owner sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, and I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper. Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By then we had named the dog. It was Kevin, so we called it Kevin. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I wondered in my heart whether I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Kevin was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing for me to do. 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。 But I had to make a decision. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The woman said, “Where is my dog? I would like to have a look at it.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: But I had to make a decision. With mixed feelings, I finally picked up my mobilephone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly, I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters loved it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Kevin was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face the case. The woman said, “Where is my dog? I would like to have a look at it.” I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Kevin tightly. Kevin started wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it had recognized someone familiar. Surprised and excited, the woman told me that she couldn’t sleep well without it and thanked us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. After she took Kevin away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing—that puppy should return to its original owner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人狗为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿捡到了大约十二周大的一只小狗，且小狗与家人们相处融洽。一则寻狗启示的广告突然出现在作者面前，作者很怕寻狗的主人找的就是他们捡到的小狗。作者的良心一直困扰着作者。作者从来没有对孩子们或丈夫说过这件事。作者在心里想，是否必须拨打报纸上的那个号码，看看他们的狗是否就是要寻找的狗。这个事情令作者犯难。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但我必须做出决定”可知，第一段可描写作者打电话拨通了寻狗主人的电话并真实小狗就是失主的狗。30分钟后，门响起，小狗开始吠叫。作者不得不面对现实。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个女人说：“我的狗在哪里？”可知，第二段可描写小狗见到原主人的反应，主人要感谢作者。作者感悟到自己做了正确的事情，即使小狗回到了原主人身边。 2.续写线索：打电话——确认小狗是失主的狗——失主表示感激——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①喜欢：love/be fond of ②想要做某事：want to do sth/would like to do sth ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②激动的：excited / thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] I said that my daughters loved it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. （由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] After she took Kevin away, I cracked a smile. （由after引导的时间状语从句） 1-5CBBAA 6-10BCBAC 11-15BBBAB 16-20BACCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
