Would you be interested in that? Of course you would! It's called the Morning Miracle.And the best part is that you can control the machine with your voice，so you don't even need to get out of bed! What are you waiting for? Just send $99 to the address on your screen，plus $15 for shipping.Don't wait! Get the new Morning Miracle now! 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Children's Museum of Oak Ridge　 Located in a historic school building, this museum is the place for visitors to learn about art，science，history，culture，and healthy living.

Leonardo would wonder around asking questions he did not himself yet understand.He always carried a notebook with himself so that he could quickly write down hundreds of questions，ideas，thoughts，impressions and observations as they occurred.He was expectant and reliant only upon himself to answer his own questions.Being modest，he was not afraid to make mistakes and appear foolish.Leonardo accepted the feelings of unfamiliarity and foolishness. His questions led him to design a snorkel (水下呼吸器) as well as diving equipment and even a submarine and also invent flying machines and a parachute.His curiosity took him under the water and into the sky. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了好奇心伴随Leonardo Da Vinci一生，并造就了他的伟大。 24．What does the underlined part “Da Vinci” refer to? A．Potential.　　　　 B．Curiosity. C．Honesty. D．Motive. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“not everyone is born with the gifts and the capacities of Leonardo da Vinci”和“use the fundamentals of Da Vinci's approach to learning to guide us toward the realization of our inner Da Vinci”可知，尽管并不是每个人生来就有像Leonardo da Vinci一样的天赋和能力，但使用他的学习方法也能让自己成为“Da Vinci”，即方法恰当，也可激发潜能，成为像Da Vinci一样的人，结合选项，画线部分指代potential“潜力，潜能”。故选A项。 25．What was most typical of the young Leonardo? A．Educating kids. B．Seeking for love. C．Appreciating nature. D．Questioning his teachers. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Young Leonardo's curiosity regarding education and mathematics especially often raised constant unsureness and difficulties for the teachers who taught him and continuously proved them to be wrong.”和“Perhaps one of his greatest characteristics was his willingness to question accepted knowledge.”可推知，年轻的Da Vinci最典型的特征是质疑他的老师。故选D项。 26．What can be learned about Leonardo's sense of curiosity from the text?

One study asked higher education teachers to give their opinions on the use of technology in the classroom.Of those questioned, 73 percent said technology made their jobs easier.While overall feelings about technology were good among college educators, an increasing number said technology could also be harmful.A total of 19 percent of those questioned said they felt technology had made their jobs harder or much harder. Results of the survey also found teachers had good feelings about technology's effects on learning.83 percent said they felt technology had positively affected their students' learning.Just nine percent said technology did not affect students' learning, while eight percent said they believed it had a negative effect.In releasing the study results, some teachers had expressed mixed feelings about the use of technology.These opinions came in the form of open-ended questions answered directly by educators. The educators were not identified.One noted that the learning process can suffer if students depend too much on their devices.Another educator wrote：“Technology is accidentally increasing students' weaknesses in reading and figuring things out (or critical thinking).They confuse clicking with learning.” Another expressed that while technology had improved learning in some areas, it had also created “a false sense of security” in others.The teacher said more research should be done on how to use the technology compared to traditional teaching methods. Parents were mostly more supportive than teachers of digital devices and their effects on school-aged children.The study found that 87 percent of parents believed such devices were mostly helpful, while 13 percent said they were mostly harmful. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，大多数老师认为科技帮助他们在课堂上做得更好。但也有许多教育工作者担心数字设备会对学生造成身心伤害。 28．How many people surveyed believe that technology makes their work more difficult? A．8%. B．19%. C．29%.

Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons.“Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed，” says education expert Richard Sagor of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills.“It's natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things，” adds Sagor.“When it comes to skateboarding, they'll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed.” That same effort could be made in schoolwork. Eric Klassen agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them.“A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful，” says Klassen.“We tell students that they shouldn't say ‘I can't do it’ unless they've tried 600 to 900 times.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在学校里开展的一些新的体育项目，如轮滑、瑜伽等，以及人们对此的不同观点。 32．Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to ． A．encourage students to compete bravely in the competition B．teach students how to deal with risks C．prevent students suffering from heart disease later in life D．help students form the habit of doing sports 32 33 34 35 D 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop life-long fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight.”可知，美国学校引入这些活动是为了帮助学生养成做运动的习惯。故D项正确。 33．The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 4 probably means “ ”． A．reduces　 B．increases C．adds D．brings 32 33 34 35 A 32 33 34 35 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Some schools don't allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous.Cendali, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger.”可知，Cendali的观点和一些学校的观点不一样，他认为轮滑并不危险，反而可以减少危险，故A正确。 34．What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding? A．To succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding. B．You will succeed in life if you don't give up. C．Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed. D.There is no hard work after learning skateboarding well. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed (滑板让孩子们相信，如果他们坚持下去，最终会成功)”可知，B项内容与之相符。故B正确。 35．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Dangerous PE B．Skills of Skateboarding C．The New PE D．The Change of PE 答案：C 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，本文讲的是在学校里开展的一些新的体育项目，如轮滑、瑜伽等，以及人们对此的不同观点。故C正确。 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。 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章从古典文学对学生的好处方面论述了古典文学在现代教育中的重要性。 The Case for Classics Many high schoolers complain when they look at a course syllabus (大纲) for Chinese and see literary assignments that include The Story of the Stone and other pieces of classic literature. 36 But there are some good reasons why reading the classics is an important part of the 21st century education. 36 37 38 39 40 A．Clearly，that's why it is so important. B．Classic literature is important in the high school education. C．These were things that were on people's minds at that time. D．Students often wonder why they have to study “ancient” writing. E．Reading writing from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine. F．Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people. G．Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger. 答案：D 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 上文讲学生在阅读古典文学作品时会抱怨，下文转而讲阅读古典著作有充足的理由，可推知，空处应与学生不理解阅读古典文学的目的和理由相关，D选项切题。故选D。 37 As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before，they peer through a window into the world as it was in those days.Being able to hear those voices from the past is a privilege young people should be grateful to have. 36 37 38 39 40 A．Clearly，that's why it is so important. B．Classic literature is important in the high school education. C．These were things that were on people's minds at that time. D．Students often wonder why they have to study “ancient” writing. E．Reading writing from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine. F．Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people. G．Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger. 答案：E 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 根据下文可知，本段主要讲阅读经典可以让我们了解过去的世界，E选项将阅读经典比作时间机器，与下文衔接自然。故选E。 Furthermore，as students examine classic works，they begin to see the fabric of history from a different perspective.Absorbed in their own daily activities，most teens rarely think about the fact that human civilization has been around for a long time. 38 The experiences and perspectives of those people can provide important insights into the challenges that teenagers face today.The wording and style may have changed，but the underlying themes that stir the heart，including love，loss，courage，revolution，and humor，are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works. 36 37 38 39 40 A．Clearly，that's why it is so important. B．Classic literature is important in the high school education. C．These were things that were on people's minds at that time. D．Students often wonder why they have to study “ancient” writing. E．Reading writing from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine. F．Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people. G．Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger. 答案：F 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 上文提出，如今的青少年很少意识到人类文明早已存在，F选项指出他们也没有意识到自己的生活与古人的生活息息相关，承接上文。故选F。 One of the most important reasons to study classic literature，however，is to expand one's mind. 39 To illustrate this，a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains scanned while reading phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations.The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original texts. 36 37 38 39 40 A．Clearly，that's why it is so important.

Yours sincerely， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 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。 My life is a juggling act.I'm a single mother of two sons.I've got a busy work schedule and limited resources.But there is one thing I don't worry about: when I come home at night, dinner is already started.A typical weeknight at my house looks like this： My youngest child is snapping (咬) the ends off the green beans.My eldest is mixing his secret salad dressing.The babysitter is working on the shopping list for tomorrow's dinner—the kids want to make roasted noodles.I throw on an apron, send the babysitter home and join my kids in the dinner preparations. Sounds too far-fetched for your home? It doesn't have to be.If my family can do it, any family can.Our meals weren't always such happy group efforts.Seven years ago, my life was ruined by divorce, leaving me with a six-month-old baby and a very angry seven-year-old boy.I had no family nearby and very little money.The burden of rebuilding my career as a food writer and publicist while single-parenting my children on my own seemed difficult. While I did my best to work during my youngest's nap times, by day's end I was physically and emotionally exhausted.Typically, I shooed (嘘) the boys out of the kitchen so I could perform yet another chore: making dinner.When I got the meal on the table, I left them to eat alone so I could have five minutes' peace.Going back to my bedroom, I collapsed onto my bed and cried.I felt horrible about my family life and helpless to change it. A year passed, but not much improved.At the end of my rope, one evening I gave some vegetable leaves at my youngest, who was then eighteen months old, so he'd leave me alone.It was incredible! He spent ten minutes happily tearing the leaves into little pieces.I was shocked at how he stayed on the task without saying a word. Suddenly, I saw an opportunity.He wanted to help me, and I surely needed help. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 Why not let them cook with me？___________________________ __________________________________________________________ I stopped worrying about the mess and we started to laugh a lot.___ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Why not let them cook with me？I persuaded them to help me in the kitchen, and then I gave them something to do.So he and his older brother began doing lots of tasks in the kitchen: peeling vegetables, tearing up salad greens, even helping me make homemade spaghetti! Yes, it got messy at times.In the beginning, I felt rushed, seeing the kids grabbing something away.Preparing dinner could take long.But when the kids were with me in the kitchen, they were not complaining about dinner.They were busy and content.Then I realized I no longer had any reason to be in a hurry. I stopped worrying about the mess and we started to laugh a lot.And my eldest son began to rely on that time of day to share his worries and fears.We would talk about tutors and help for him in school, and over time, his problems lessened.He was getting the quality time he needed.We'll just be talking, going along cooking, and soon, we'll realize that new lines of communication and strong bonds are forming.After preparing the meal together, we'll actually want to sit at the table and enjoy it together.It may well become our favorite part of the day. $$
