He had never taken me to work with him before. How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked, nor how he earned a living. All I knew, back around 1992, was that he left our house every morning before we woke up and came back every night after we finished dinner. So, I gave him a positive answer. My dad drove us south to the city of Newark, where he was born. There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools in case he needed to fix a broken door or get a washing machine running again. He took me to work with him a few other times over the years. I always loved going. I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son. I wish he had taken me more often. Years later, I followed this tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day. She saw me in a glassed-off conference room brainstorming with colleagues, on the phone talking with clients and — no doubt the most attractive scene of all — on my computer writing a report. With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. Today fewer and fewer kids get the same opportunity. Maybe we should make this a tradition. 41. Why did the author agree to go to work with his father for the first time? A. He wanted to earn money for himself. B. He was forced to go by his father. C. He was curious about his father’s job. D. He intended to repair their relationship. 42. What tasks did the author’s father do? A. Checking systems, collecting rents, and fixing appliances. B. Working with colleagues and brainstorming ideas. C. Answering phone calls and organizing paperwork. D. Writing reports and attending meetings regularly. 43. How did the author feel after seeing his father work? A. He felt pity for his father. B. He admired his father’s skills. C. He thought highly of his father. D. He questioned his father’s choice. 44. What tradition did the author follow years later with his own daughter? A. Repairing broken doors and washing machines. B. Bringing her to his workplace for a day. C. Calling the clients and writing reports. D. Taking her to visit his hometown. 45. How did the author’s experience with his dad influence him? A. It helped him build a successful career. B. It developed his great talents for business. C. It deepened his understanding of his work. D. It made him proud and follow the same tradition. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候被父亲带去上班的经历，以及作者长大后也带自己女儿去上班的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked, nor how he earned a living.(我怎么能拒绝呢？我不知道父亲在哪里工作，也不知道他是如何谋生的。)”可知，作者不知道父亲在哪里工作，也不知道他如何谋生，因此他对父亲的工作充满了好奇。当父亲提出要带他去上班时，他自然同意了，因为他对父亲的工作充满了好奇心，想要了解父亲是如何工作的。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools in case he needed to fix a broken door or get a washing machine running again.(在那里，我们进入了一栋中产阶级公寓楼。在接下来的几个小时里，他例行巡视，我紧随其后。他检查了基本的系统和服务。他收租金。他随身带着一箱工具，以防需要修理坏了的门或让洗衣机重新运转起来。)”可知，作者父亲的工作任务包括检查基本系统和服务、收取租金以及如果需要的话，使用工具修理破损的门或让洗衣机重新运转。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son.(我看到他在行动，和其他人一起做他的工作，在更广阔的世界里，看起来很重要，甚至是英雄。我为他感到骄傲，为自己是他的儿子感到骄傲。)”可知，作者看到自己父亲工作时的情景，表达了对父亲的钦佩和自豪。因此，作者高度评价了他的父亲。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Years later, I followed this tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day.(多年以后，我沿袭了这个传统。我带着女儿卡洛琳去办公室待了一天。)”可知，作者多年后遵循了这一传统，即带自己的女儿去办公室待一天。故选B。 45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son.(我看到他在行动，和其他人一起做他的工作，在更广阔的世界里，看起来很重要，甚至是英雄。我为他感到骄傲，为自己是他的儿子感到骄傲。)”以及文章第五段“Years later, I followed this tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day.(多年以后，我沿袭了这个传统。我带着女儿卡洛琳去办公室待了一天。)”和“With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. (如果幸运的话，我的女儿感到了和我对自己父亲一样的骄傲。)”可知，作者与父亲一起工作的经历让他对父亲的工作产生了骄傲感，并在多年后自己也遵循了这一传统，带自己的女儿去办公室待了一天。这表明这段经历不仅让作者感到骄傲，还促使他模仿父亲，与女儿分享了相似的体验。因此，选项D“It made him proud and follow the same tradition.(它让他感到骄傲并遵循同样的传统)”最能准确地描述作者与父亲的经验对他的影响。故选D。 C A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 46. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2? A. Reduce. B. Improve. C. Understand. D. Influence. 47. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It is most likely to be ineffective. B. It was first presented by Mozart. C. It helps parents take good care of their children. D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention. 48. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 49. How did the researchers carry out the new study? A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They observed children in music classes. C. They examined plenty of previous research. D. They did a long-term survey of musical students. 50. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph? A. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明学习音乐并不会提高孩子的智商，但是可以帮助孩子在其它方面有更好的表现。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies (有一段时间，在互联网和各种杂志上发现了一种观点，认为如果婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐，他们会变得更聪明。受此启发，一些父母给他们的孩子买了古典音乐CD，)”可知，一些父母给他们的孩子买了古典音乐CD，是希望这能提高他们的智力，划线词的意思为“提高”。A. Reduce减少；B. Improve提高；C. Understand理解；D. Influence影响。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But this so-called ‘Mozart Effect’ has been challenged repeatedly. (但这种所谓的‘莫扎特效应’却一再受到挑战。)”及第四段中的“they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.(他们得出的结论是，上音乐课的孩子在衡量智力或学习能力的测试中的得分并不比不学音乐的孩子高。)”可知，莫扎特效应极有可能是无效的。故选A项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. (但是，上音乐课和听音乐肯定不同吗？上音乐课难道不会让孩子们变得更聪明吗？这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出的结论是确实如此，而一些研究发现事实并非如此。)”可知，该段所列举的例子是为了说明学习音乐会让一个孩子变得更聪明的论点具有争议性。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gobet (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies (这项新研究的研究人员Giovanni Sala（藤田健康大学）和Fernand Gobet（伦敦经济学院）查看了54项精心挑选的研究背后的数据 )”可知，Sala和Gobet是在参考以前的研究数据后总结出了新的研究成果。故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be very beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subjects if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. (音乐课本可以在不同方面起到帮助作用：它们可以改变家庭作业习惯，增强信心，或者提高社交技能。最后，他们还提到，如果音乐与这些课程相结合，音乐教育仍然对学生在非音乐科目上的表现非常有益。所以，请继续创作音乐，并鼓励孩子们学习音乐。)”可知，新研究表明，虽然学习音乐并不会让一个孩子更聪明，但是可以提升孩子的多种能力，所以还是应该鼓励孩子学音乐。故选A项。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题) 第四部分：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 My family had moved into a new house with big back yard. For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one. Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it. Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound(轻微的抓挠声) coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat. I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too. Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life. 51. What were the author's parents persuaded to do? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did the author feel disappointed? (no more than 10 words) 53. What happened to the author after her wish? (no more than 10 words) 54. How can we understand the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words) 55. What do you think of the author's parents? And why? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. They were persuaded to raise /keep a family pet. 52. Because she wanted a cat instead of a dog. 53. A large，white cat appeared at the front door./ She saw a large , white cat at the front door. 54. The author picked up the cat with her arms./ The author held /hugged/embraced the cat with her arms. 55. I think they are great because of their way to realize the kid’s wish is interesting and moving. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者和哥哥说服父母养一只家庭宠物，但是一开始父母带回来的是一只狗，作者虽然很失望不是猫，但依然很喜欢狗，隐藏起了自己的失望。惊喜的是，父母也给她带了一只猫，在让她许愿后，猫咪就出现在了门口。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段最后两句“For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one.”（有一段时间，我哥哥和我一直希望能有一只家庭宠物。最后，我们终于说服了父母，让他们相信是时候养一个了。）可知，作者的父母被说服养一只宠物。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为They were persuaded to raise /keep a family pet. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段第四句和第五句“I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat.”（我真的很想要一只猫！我试着表现我养宠物的喜悦，同时又试着掩饰我对他不是猫的失望。）可知，作者感到失望是因为她想要的是一只猫而不是一只狗。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为Because she wanted a cat instead of a dog. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段最后两句“Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat.”（我好奇地站了起来，走向开着的前门。那儿，一只又大又白的猫静静地坐在我面前。）可知，在许愿后，作者在前门看到了一只又大又白的猫。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为A large，white cat appeared at the front door./ She saw a large , white cat at the front door. 【54题详解】 考查句意猜测。根据“I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me.”我走近那只白猫，它开始向我走来。根据第四段第三句中的“then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy”（然后我走进后院，我的父母和哥哥正在那里和史努比玩）可知，此处是指作者抱着猫走进后院，所以“I gathered his mass into my arms”的意思是作者用胳膊抱起了猫。根据要求，答案长度不能超过10个单词。故答案为The author picked up the cat with her arms./ The author held /hugged/embraced the cat with her arms. 【55题详解】 考查开放性回答。回答问题时，应先表达你对作者的父母的看法，再说明原因，看法和原因应基于故事内容。故参考答案为I think they are great because of their way to realize the kid’s wish is interesting and moving. 第五部分：书面表达(共一题，满分25分) 56. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，为宣传世界环境日，你校将举办主题为“Let’s Ride Bicycles”的英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下提示，写一篇演讲稿。 主要内容包括： 1.目前汽车带来的空气污染和交通堵塞问题； 2.骑自行车的益处，既能环保，有利健康等。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：低碳生活 low-carbon life 节能 energy saving ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Good morning, everyone, I am Li Jin from Chenguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”. As is known to us all, there is an increasing number of cars on roads. We can now drive to work, to go shopping, to visit friends and even to travel across the country. Though they bring us great convenience, cars also go hand in hand with air pollution as well as traffic jams. How to solve these problems is a great challenge to everyone. My suggestion is that we should ride bicycles. There is no doubt that riding bicycles can surely do us good. Firstly, riding bicycles means using cars less, which is a good way to decrease traffic jams. Secondly, riding bikes is environmentally friendly because it doesn’t cause air pollution and it is beneficial to our health. What’s more, bicycles are so handy and convenient that you can go wherever you like and do not need to look for a large parking lot. Since there are so many advantages, why not join us and ride bicycles? Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生撰写的是一篇主题为“Let’s Ride Bicycles”的英语演讲的演讲稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 众所周知：As is known to us all→It is known to us all that 建议：suggestion→advice 有益于：be beneficial to→be of benefit to 此外：what’s more→besides 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”. 拓展句：The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”, about which I have something to share. 【点睛】[高分句型1]As is known to us all, there is an increasing number of cars on roads.

He had never taken me to work with him before. How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked nor how he earned a living. All I knew, back around 1992, was that he left our house every morning before we woke up and came back every night after we finished dinner. So, I gave him a positive answer. My dad drove us south to the city of Newark, where he was born. There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools in case he needed to fix a broken door or get a washing machine running again. He took me to work with him a few other times over the years. I always loved going. I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son. I wish he had taken me more often. Years later, I followed this tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day. She saw me in a glassed-off conference room brainstorming with colleagues, on the phone talking with clients and — no doubt the most attractive scene of all — on my computer writing a report. With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. Today fewer and fewer kids get the same opportunity. Maybe we should make this a tradition. 41.

He admired his father’s skills. C. He thought highly of his father. D. He questioned his father’s choice. 44. What tradition did the author follow years later with his own daughter? A. Repairing broken doors and washing machines. B. Bringing her to his workplace for a day. C. Calling the clients and writing reports. D. Taking her to visit his hometown. 45. How did the author’s experience with his dad influence him? A. It helped him build a successful career. B. It developed his great talents for business. C. It deepened his understanding of his work. D. It made him proud and follow the same tradition. C A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 46. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2? A. Reduce. B. Improve. C.

For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one. Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it. Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound(轻微的抓挠声) coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat. I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too. Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life. 51.
