I felt homesick and couldn't study well, which resulted in low marks as well as self-esteem (自尊心). I didn't know what to do, so I just followed others. One day, all students were called to the school playground. We were asked to meet an education expert for personality development. All of us were waiting for him when we saw a thin man and the headmaster. He looked confident, with a smile on his face. He introduced himself to us and started his work. Most of it was interactive (互动的)lessons with students. Then he said," Now I need 20 students. Who want to take a talent(才能)test and consider them to be the best in the world ?" We all wanted to attend, so all of us raised our hands in unison. He chose 20 among us and gave them a question paper and said, "There are 10 questions on the paper, and the quickest person to answer it will be the winner! When finishing it, write your name on the paper and give it to me." When he said "Start", all the students wrote quickly. Between their funny actions and our loud laughter, somehow the competition was over. At last, he told us the name of the winner--NOBODY. We were all surprised, and silence fell upon us. He said between the first introduction and the first question, there was another line which said ,"Read all the questions carefully, and answer ONLY THE 10TH QUESTION." Needless to say (不用说) all the students were awkward. After a few minutes, he spoke at last and told us to keep careful and have creativity in life. He got all our attention; he is none other than Dr Tyler Ralph, one of the most famous experts in American education. 1. What does the underlined part "in unison" in Paragraph 2 mean ? A. Following others slowly. B. Doing something doubtfully. C. Having no purpose or thought. D. Doing something at the same time. 2. Why was there no winner among those 20 students ? A. Because the questions were difficult. B. Because none of them was a talent. C. Because they were all too careless. D. Because the test time was too short. 3 What does Dr Tyler Ralph think the student should be________. A. energetic and thoughtful B. careful and creative C. confident and active D. brave and honest 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是作者在中学时期被召集到学校操场上听一名美国教育专家泰勒·拉尔夫博士的一堂互动课，让20名学生回答问题，结果学生们都没有回答正确，他们都没有认真看题，由此告诉我们应该谨慎而富有创造性。 【1题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Then he said," Now I need 20 students. Who want to take a talent test and consider them to be the best in the world ?"We all wanted to attend, so all of us raised our hands in unison.(谁想参加一个才艺测试，认为他们是世界上最好的？“我们都想参加，所以我们in unison地举手)”的关键词“all of us” 可知此处表示大家一起举手，由此可知“in unison”与D项“doing something at the same time”意思相同。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“At last, he told us the name of the winner--NOBODY. We were all surprised, and silence fell upon us. He said between the first introduction and the first question, there was another line which said ," Read all the questions carefully, and answer ONLY THE 10TH QUESTION. "(最后，他告诉了我们获胜者的名字——没有人。我们都很惊讶，大家都陷入了沉默。他说，在第一个引言和第一个问题之间，还有一行是：“仔细阅读所有问题，只回答第十个问题。”)” 可知，出20个学生中没有获胜者，因为他们都没有认真看题。由此推知，他们都太粗心了，这是他们失败的原因。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“After a few minutes, he spoke at last and told us to keep careful and have creativity in life. He got all our attention ;he is none other than Dr Tyler Ralph, one of the most famous experts in American education.(几分钟后，他终于开口了，告诉我们在生活中要小心，要有创造力。他引起了我们所有的注意；他正是泰勒·拉尔夫博士，美国教育界最著名的专家之一)” 可知，泰勒博士认为学生们应该谨慎而富有创造性。故选B项。 B With the most attractive view along the road, it is a popular route for cyclists: the road from Land’s End in England to John O’ Groats in Scotland, about 874 miles long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. “It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.” Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey. During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train, a children’s organization that pays for treatment for children in developing countries who have deft lips (兔唇). 4. What do we know about Laurence Chandler? A. He is a green hand in cycling. B. He is fond of jogging. C. He cycled through England. D. He is a cycling lover. 5. What is suggested from Paragraph 2? A. Few people chose to cycle the route. B. Chandler was challenged by the trip. C. The journey was really disappointing. D. Chandler rode the same distance every day. 6. What helped Chandler decide to try the route? A. His father’s birthday. B. The voluntary work. C. A related article. D. The disabled children. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. A teenager finishing a great trip B. A popular cycling route in the UK C. A road leading England to Scotland D. A children’s organization for cyclists 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了少年Laurence Chandler完成了一次困难重重的骑行，并为Smile Train组织筹集了善款。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“The 12-year- old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. (12岁的男孩Laurence Chandler成为完成这条路线的最年轻的自行车手)”和第二段中“Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily.(每天，他骑自行车行驶40到60英里。他每天在山地自行车上花费六个小时。)”可推知，Laurence Chandler是一名自行车运动的爱好者。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It was much harder than I thought. (这比我想象的要困难得多)”可知，这段路程超出了Chandler的预期，由此可推知，他受到了挑战。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. (后来，随着父亲50岁生日的临近，他决定试一 试)”可知，Chandler决定尝试这条骑行路线是因为父亲的生日。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“The 12-year- old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. (12岁的男孩Laurence Chandler成为完成这条路线的最年轻的自行车手)”及最后 一段“During his ride, Chandler Smile Train, a children’s organi treatment for children in develo deft lips (在骑行过程中，钱德勒为微笑列车组织筹集了600英镑，这是一家为发展中国家唇裂儿童支付治疗费用的组织。)”可知，文章主要讲述了少年Laurence Chandler完成了一次困难重重的骑行，并为Smile Train组织筹集了善款。A项“一个青少年完成了一次很棒的旅行”适合作文章标题，故选A。 C You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period. Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way. Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight. There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat. If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone. 8. What does the author stress about the French words in English? A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history. C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings. 9. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat? A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk. C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French. 10. What is the French word “jolie” used to do? A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people's looks. C. Refer to people’s happiness. D. Prove the change in French. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English. C. French words in English. D. Development of English. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了英语中存在大量法语词汇的现象。本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。文中举例说明了它们不同的含义。诺曼人对英国长期的统治，给英语带来了大量的法语词汇，但意思有差别，有的差别非常大。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.可知，作者对英语中的法语单词强调了它们的不同含义。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.可知，如果一个法国人说他喜欢a chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物。”，因为在法语里chat是cat的意思，故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.可知，在法语中，jolie的意思是说某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。无论如何，这两件事对某人来说都是件好事。由此可知划线词在法语里是用来“描述人的外表。”故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.和Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.可知，本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。故选C。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本题第4小题，本文第一段是文章的主题段，指出本文主要讲的是“英语中的法语单词”。故选C。 D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12. The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A. violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori, what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C. It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C. The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D. Video Games Designed to Improve Cognitive Function 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，动作视频游戏如《Space Invaders Extreme 2》可能有助于改善有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童的语言处理能力。实验中，玩此游戏的儿童在区分词语的任务上表现出了显著的进步，比其他组别包括接受言语治疗的儿童进步更大。这为早期干预阅读障碍提供了新的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. (在视频游戏《太空入侵者极限2》中，玩家必须发射武器来摧毁攻击地球的外星人。这些外星人行动迅速，从屏幕顶部倾泻而下，如果他们到达底部，就会夺走玩家的“生命”。)”可知，在《太空侵略者极限2》这款视频游戏中，需要玩家快速反应并采取行动来击落快速移动的敌人，这表明游戏充满了动作和紧张感。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中““If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者Simone Gori说：“如果我们能在儿童长大并失去一些大脑可塑性之前针对这些小的认知功能，那么也许我们可以在阅读障碍完全形成之前治疗这些方面。”。)”可知，这项研究的发现表明动作类视频游戏可以用于阅读障碍的早期干预。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第五段中“She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” (她希望未来也能看到用其他语言进行更大规模的研究。“眼睛是大脑的延伸，”她说，“所以当我们玩电子游戏时，它与我们的认知功能直接相关，而且那里有很大的研究潜力。”)”可知，她对这项研究持积极赞成的态度，并期待未来有更多相关研究。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据文章第二段中“A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia —a genetic (遗传的,  基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. (《自然》杂志的一项研究表明，虽然摧毁数字外星人似乎与区分单词无关，但这种动作视频游戏可以通过提高儿童感知口语和声音的能力来帮助有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童，这是一种遗传性语言障碍，使处理单词变得困难。)”可知，文章主要讨论了动作类视频游戏如何帮助可能患有阅读障碍的儿童提高识别单词的能力，以及这一发现对未来干预措施的潜在价值，因此Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness (动作视频游戏提高词汇意识)是一个合适的标题。故选B项。 第二节七选五(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans.___16___ A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, US, proves this.

I felt homesick and couldn't study well, which resulted in low marks as well as self-esteem (自尊心). I didn't know what to do, so I just followed others. One day, all students were called to the school playground. We were asked to meet an education expert for personality development. All of us were waiting for him when we saw a thin man and the headmaster. He looked confident, with a smile on his face. He introduced himself to us and started his work. Most of it was interactive (互动的)lessons with students. Then he said," Now I need 20 students. Who want to take a talent(才能)test and consider them to be the best in the world ?" We all wanted to attend, so all of us raised our hands in unison. He chose 20 among us and gave them a question paper and said, "There are 10 questions on the paper, and the quickest person to answer it will be the winner! When finishing it, write your name on the paper and give it to me." When he said "Start", all the students wrote quickly. Between their funny actions and our loud laughter, somehow the competition was over. At last, he told us the name of the winner--NOBODY. We were all surprised, and silence fell upon us. He said between the first introduction and the first question, there was another line which said ,"Read all the questions carefully, and answer ONLY THE 10TH QUESTION." Needless to say (不用说) all the students were awkward. After a few minutes, he spoke at last and told us to keep careful and have creativity in life. He got all our attention; he is none other than Dr Tyler Ralph, one of the most famous experts in American education. 1. What does the underlined part "in unison" in Paragraph 2 mean ? A. Following others slowly. B. Doing something doubtfully. C. Having no purpose or thought. D. Doing something at the same time. 2. Why was there no winner among those 20 students ? A. Because the questions were difficult. B. Because none of them was a talent. C. Because they were all too careless. D. Because the test time was too short. 3. What does Dr Tyler Ralph think the student should be________. A. energetic and thoughtful B. careful and creative C. confident and active D. brave and honest B With the most attractive view along the road, it is a popular route for cyclists: the road from Land’s End in England to John O’ Groats in Scotland, about 874 miles long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. “It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.” Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey. During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train, a children’s organization that pays for treatment for children in developing countries who have deft lips (兔唇). 4. What do we know about Laurence Chandler? A. He is a green hand in cycling. B. He is fond of jogging. C. He cycled through England. D. He is a cycling lover. 5. What is suggested from Paragraph 2? A. Few people chose to cycle the route. B. Chandler was challenged by the trip. C. The journey was really disappointing. D. Chandler rode the same distance every day. 6. What helped Chandler decide to try the route? A. His father’s birthday. B. The voluntary work. C. A related article. D. The disabled children. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. A teenager finishing a great trip B. A popular cycling route in the UK C. A road leading England to Scotland D. A children’s organization for cyclists C You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period. Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way. Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight. There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat. If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone. 8. What does the author stress about the French words in English? A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history. C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings. 9. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat? A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk. C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French. 10. What is the French word “jolie” used to do? A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people's looks. C. Refer to people’s happiness. D. Prove the change in French. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English. C. French words in English. D. Development of English. D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12 The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A. violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C. The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D.
