It’s only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list provided my husband and I can cover$20, 000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead? I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary schoo1. They’ll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private schoo1. If we’re to send our girl to private school, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that’s not quite how it turned out. The guilt and expectations are mine alone. I’m terrified that my daughter’s potential will be wasted at the public schoo1. And yet, I know that working more hours will make me break down. During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can’t sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is terrible strain on a family. I point out not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And ultimately, it’s decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn’t be more pleased. It’s taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. More than my fancy private school education, it’s my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget. 14. Why did the author want her daughter to go to a private school at first? A. Her daughter earned an academic scholarship. B. She wanted her daughter to receive the best education. C. She wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list. D. Her daughter’s potential was wasted at the public primary schoo1. 15. The author finally let her daughter go to a public school mainly because she realized that______________. A. private school doesn’t guarantee a solid income B. she didn’t want her daughter to struggle in private school C. however hard she worked, she couldn’t afford private school D. public school is the most balanced choice for her family 16. When the decision was made, ___________. A. the author’s daughter was disappointed B. the author felt sorry and guilty about it C. both the author and her daughter were satisfied with the result D. the author inspired her daughter to be a positive role model at school 17. What is the main message the author intends to convey in the last paragraph? A. Family influences a child’s growth more than school education. B. The lessons learned during our childhood will stay with us forever. C. It always takes people a long time to make a fight decision. D. Private school education is not as good as people expect. B Art has always been a polarizing(分化的)subject.Some people like realism,others like abstract.But do you know why some people value art in the millions,while others see the same piece as little more than a child’s finger painting? Many consider art to be quite random in terms of our likes and dislikes.But according to new research,there may actually be a scientific reason behind our fondness for certain works.The answer lies in how a person’s brain breaks down the visuals(视觉效果)of a painting combined with their judgment. To prove their theory,neuroscientist(神经科学家)Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology(Caltech)gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art genres(类型). After analyzing the data,scientists found that the same groups of people tended to prefer similar aspects of the same paintings.These characteristics were then grouped into“low-level”features like color and blending,and“high-level”features like the emotion behind the painting. From this experiment,Caltech’s system was then able to predict an individual’s specific taste in art and organize different works into one group,according to the paintings’features and volunteers’preferences. In a second test,researchers repeated the experiment on six volunteers,showing each 1,000 paintings while inside an MRI—a machine that scans a person’s brain activity.The test revealed(揭示)that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items,allowing someone to form their overall opinion. Finally,the team repeated the first test on new volunteers.Again,the algorithm(算法)was able to accurately predict individuals’art preferences.According to Iigaya,this shows that the factors that contribute to whether a person likes an image are universal,not random. Lesley Fellows,a neurologist at McGill University who studies value judgments,stated,“We know a lot about‘how’the brain carries out actions,but‘why’is far less well understood.” 18. What did the Caltech team try to discover? A. What kinds of artwork appeal to people. B. Why only some people value art. C. Whether an individual’s preference for art is predictable. D. Whether one’s mood influences their opinion of artwork. 19. How did the Caltech team’s first experiment help their second test? A. Some features of paintings were categorized（分类）. B. It helped decide the types of paintings to be used. C. Part of the brain to process paintings was identified. D. Volunteers were grouped based on their response. 20. What did the Caltech team find from their second test? A. The brain reacted differently to different paintings. B. MRIs influence people’s opinion of paintings. C. Individuals have different valuing systems in their brain. D. A certain part of the brain helps people judge paintings. 21. Why does the author quote Lesley Fellows’words in the last paragraph? A. To question the Caltech team’s research. B. To approve of the research on why we make value judgments. C. To show there is still a lot left to learn about the brain. D. To point out the focus of the future brain research. C Characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own, or even work against the writer. It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he'd finished his first version, he threw it away and started again. Of course it's not the characters' fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King said. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.” This is also true for characters' ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It's been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.” For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: “boredom”. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon, she says.” She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you.” According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath's is, without making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arguing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable.” “That is a fantastic thing to happen, ”Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.” 22 What can we infer about Steven King’s book Carrie? A. It was his most difficult book to write． B. It was the first successful novel King wrote． C. There were few children featured in the story． D. Some of its main characters were working class． 23. Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon? A She disagreed with the character’s attitudes． B. The age difference between the two was too large． C. She found the character very uninteresting． D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult． 24. Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ______ ． A. are a sign that the story is not realistic. B. are often the most interesting. C. should be praised by all authors. D. need to be researched more thoroughly. 25. The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably ______ ． A. famous and successful. B. unknown to the readers. C. all from the same country. D. just starting their writing careers. 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。 As most of us know, talking to and listening to parents don’t always go smoothly.

One morning when she came in late, Mr. Sharp, her teacher, burst into anger. Mr. Sharp told her, “I’ll write to your father if you aren’t here on time tomorrow.” Julia didn’t expect him to do that because her parents were very strict with her. So she said sorry and promised that she would be punctual from that moment on. The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast. When the bell rang, she had been seated in the classroom. The door opened and the teacher came in. But it wasn’t Mr. Sharp. It was Miss Young. Mr. Sharp was on business, so she was taking his class instead. How disappointed Julia was! The next morning Julia got up even earlier. After a quick breakfast she rushed to school. Just before she got to the school gate, she spotted a wallet lying on the ground. She picked it up. “Whose is this?” she wondered. As she stood there, there went the first bell. “What shall I do?” she hesitated. “I’ll turn in the wallet to the headmaster first,” she decided.

A. surprising; wouldn’t know B. surprised; shouldn’t know C. surprising; hadn’t known D. surprised; hadn’t known 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词辨析和时态。句意：她脸上惊讶的表情表明她之前不知道这件事。分析句子可知，第一空，look意为“表情”，是与人相关的，要用surprised来修饰，surprised look表示“惊讶的表情”，而surprising是用来形容事物的，意为“令人惊讶的”，所以第一空填surprised。第二空，suggest在这里是“表明”的意思，不是“建议”，因此宾语从句不用虚拟语气。根据语境，她脸上惊讶的表情表明她在之前不知道这件事，“不知道”这个动作发生在suggested 之前，是过去的过去，应该用过去完成时hadn’t known。故选D项。 第三部分　阅读理解　（共两节，满分42.5分） 第一节　（共12小题，满分30分） A My 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private schoo1. It’s only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list provided my husband and I can cover$20, 000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead? I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary schoo1. They’ll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private schoo1. If we’re to send our girl to private school, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that’s not quite how it turned out. The guilt and expectations are mine alone. I’m terrified that my daughter’s potential will be wasted at the public schoo1. And yet, I know that working more hours will make me break down. During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can’t sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is terrible strain on a family. I point out not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And ultimately, it’s decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn’t be more pleased. It’s taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. More than my fancy private school education, it’s my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget. 14. Why did the author want her daughter to go to a private school at first? A. Her daughter earned an academic scholarship. B. She wanted her daughter to receive the best education. C. She wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list. D. Her daughter’s potential was wasted at the public primary schoo1. 15. The author finally let her daughter go to a public school mainly because she realized that______________. A. private school doesn’t guarantee a solid income B. she didn’t want her daughter to struggle in private school C. however hard she worked, she couldn’t afford private school D. public school is the most balanced choice for her family 16. When the decision was made, ___________. A. the author’s daughter was disappointed B. the author felt sorry and guilty about it C. both the author and her daughter were satisfied with the result D. the author inspired her daughter to be a positive role model at school 17. What is the main message the author intends to convey in the last paragraph? A. Family influences a child’s growth more than school education. B. The lessons learned during our childhood will stay with us forever. C. It always takes people a long time to make a fight decision. D. Private school education is not as good as people expect. 【答案】14. B 15. D 16. C 17. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己一直想让孩子去私立学校接受教育，因为作者相信最好的教育是私立的。但经过深思熟虑后，作者还是让女儿去了家后面的公立学校，因为作者明白了与私立学校教育相比，更多的是家庭教育的塑造影响更多。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. (我一直以为我的孩子会像我一样去私立学校。不是因为我的家庭富有，而是因为我相信最好的教育是私立的。)”可知，作者想让女儿接受最好的教育，所以她一开始想让女儿上私立学校。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中“And yet, I know that working more hours will make me break down. (然而，我知道工作更长时间会让我崩溃。)”和倒数第三段中“Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can’t sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is terrible strain on a family. (虽然我想给我的女儿最好的，但我也有自己的梦想。我不能为了我的宝贝女儿牺牲一切。我解释说，我想给女儿树立一个积极的榜样，而不快乐的父母对家庭来说是一种巨大的压力。)”可知，作者最后让女儿上公立学校，主要是因为她意识到公立学校是家庭最平衡的选择。故选D项。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn’t be more pleased. (我女儿要去我们家后面的公立学校上学。她再高兴不过了。)”和最后一段中“It’s taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. (虽然花了我一些时间，但现在我很满足了。)”可知，当决定做出后，作者和她的女儿都对结果感到满意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ More than my fancy private school education, it’s my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget. (不仅仅是我的私立学校教育，更多的是我的家庭塑造了我。高中已经过去了25年，那些曾经熟稔的数学问题和莎士比亚语录，我已经记不住了。然而，我从童年家庭中学到的经验是无法忘记的。)”可知，最后一段作者想要传达家庭比学校教育更能影响孩子的成长。故选A项。 B Art has always been a polarizing(分化的)subject.Some people like realism,others like abstract.But do you know why some people value art in the millions,while others see the same piece as little more than a child’s finger painting? Many consider art to be quite random in terms of our likes and dislikes.But according to new research,there may actually be a scientific reason behind our fondness for certain works.The answer lies in how a person’s brain breaks down the visuals(视觉效果)of a painting combined with their judgment. To prove their theory,neuroscientist(神经科学家)Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology(Caltech)gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art genres(类型). After analyzing the data,scientists found that the same groups of people tended to prefer similar aspects of the same paintings.These characteristics were then grouped into“low-level”features like color and blending,and“high-level”features like the emotion behind the painting. From this experiment,Caltech’s system was then able to predict an individual’s specific taste in art and organize different works into one group,according to the paintings’features and volunteers’preferences. In a second test,researchers repeated the experiment on six volunteers,showing each 1,000 paintings while inside an MRI—a machine that scans a person’s brain activity.The test revealed(揭示)that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items,allowing someone to form their overall opinion. Finally,the team repeated the first test on new volunteers.Again,the algorithm(算法)was able to accurately predict individuals’art preferences.According to Iigaya,this shows that the factors that contribute to whether a person likes an image are universal,not random. Lesley Fellows,a neurologist at McGill University who studies value judgments,stated,“We know a lot about‘how’the brain carries out actions,but‘why’is far less well understood.” 18 What did the Caltech team try to discover? A. What kinds of artwork appeal to people. B. Why only some people value art. C. Whether an individual’s preference for art is predictable. D. Whether one’s mood influences their opinion of artwork. 19. How did the Caltech team’s first experiment help their second test? A. Some features of paintings were categorized（分类）. B. It helped decide the types of paintings to be used. C. Part of the brain to process paintings was identified. D. Volunteers were grouped based on their response. 20. What did the Caltech team find from their second test? A. The brain reacted differently to different paintings. B. MRIs influence people’s opinion of paintings. C. Individuals have different valuing systems in their brain. D. A certain part of the brain helps people judge paintings. 21. Why does the author quote Lesley Fellows’words in the last paragraph? A. To question the Caltech team’s research. B. To approve of the research on why we make value judgments. C. To show there is still a lot left to learn about the brain. D. To point out the focus of the future brain research. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. D 21. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大脑对于艺术的判断决定着人们对艺术的喜爱程度。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。结合第三段：To prove their theory,neuroscientist(神经科学家)Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology(Caltech)gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art genres(类型). 为了证明他们的理论，神经学家 Kiyohito Iigaya 和他来自加州理工学院的团队召集了1300多名志愿者，要求他们对来自四种不同艺术类型的825幅画作进行评分。第五段From this experiment, Caltech’s system was then able to predict an individual’s specific taste in art and organize different works into one group, according to the paintings’features and volunteers’preferences. 通过这个实验，加州理工学院的系统能够预测一个人对艺术的特殊品味，并根据画作的特点和志愿者的喜好，将不同的作品组合成一组。可以得出结论，Caltech 团队所做的实验是为了证实一个人对艺术的特殊品味是否是可以预测的。选项C符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段：From this experiment, Caltech’s system was then able to predict an individual’s specific taste in art and organize different works into one group, according to the paintings’ features and volunteers’ preferences. 通过这个实验，加州理工学院的系统能够预测一个人对艺术的特殊品味，并根据画作的特点和志愿者的喜好，将不同的作品组合成一组。此处表明第一个实验的结果是这个系统可以根据画作的特点和志愿者的喜好，将不同的作品组合成一组。第六段第二句The test revealed(揭示)that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items, allowing someone to form their overall opinion. 测试结果显示，一幅画的不同特征被发送到大脑中负责评估物品价值的部分，让人们形成自己的总体意见。可以得出，大脑中负责评估物品价值的部分，让人们形成自己的总体意见，也就是人们会根据大脑的反馈形成个人对绘画进行分类。选项A此处符合文章。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段第二句The test revealed(揭示)that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items, allowing someone to form their overall opinion. 测试结果显示，一幅画的不同特征被发送到大脑中负责评估物品价值的部分，让人们形成自己的总体意见。可以得出，第二个实验的结果证明，人们形成自己的意见是基于大脑中负责评估物品价值的部分的信息的反馈。也就是大脑中的此部分帮助人们做出评价。选项D符合题意。故选D。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段引用Lesley Fellows的话语：We know a lot about ‘how’ the brain carries out actions, but ‘why’ is far less well understood. 我们知道很多关于“大脑如何”执行行为的知识，但是“为什么要执行行为”却很少被人理解。可以推断出对于大脑的研究还有很多未被发现的东西。选项C充分说明了这点，符合文章含义。故选C。 C Characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own, or even work against the writer. It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he'd finished his first version, he threw it away and started again. Of course it's not the characters' fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King said. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.” This is also true for characters' ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It's been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.” For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: “boredom”. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon, she says.” She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you.” According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath's is, without making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arguing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable.” “That is a fantastic thing to happen, ”Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.” 22. What can we infer about Steven King’s book Carrie? A. It was his most difficult book to write． B. It was the first successful novel King wrote． C. There were few children featured in the story． D. Some of its main characters were working class． 23. Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon? A. She disagreed with the character’s attitudes． B. The age difference between the two was too large． C. She found the character very uninteresting． D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult． 24. Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ______ ． A. are a sign that the story is not realistic. B. are often the most interesting. C. should be praised by all authors. D. need to be researched more thoroughly. 25. The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably ______ ． A. famous and successful. B. unknown to the readers. C. all from the same country. D. just starting their writing careers. 【答案】22. D 23. C 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章通过采访一些著名作家介绍了小说中的人物并不总是按照作者的意愿行事。有时他们会制造麻烦，有自己的生活，甚至与作家作对的情况。介绍了这些作家在创作时各自遇到的不同问题。 22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed.“It is definitely harder,” King said.“When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.(以Stephen King例，他承认现在创作工人阶级的角色更加困难了，因为他自己的环境发生了变化。King说：“这肯定更难。许多年前我写《嘉莉》的时候，我离体力劳动只有一步之遥。”)”我们能推断出Stephen King的《嘉莉》一书中其主要特征是工人阶级。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: “boredom”.“I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon.she says.”She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her.(对于其他作家来说，比如凯伦·福勒，有一种特质可以让一个角色止步不前：“无聊”。“我对我的历史小说《努恩修女》的主要人物有一些特别的问题。她对种族和宗教的态度，在我看来很适合她的时间和阶层，但我不喜欢这些态度。最后我对她厌烦了)”可知，Karen Fowler在她的小说《努恩修女》中很难写出主角是因为她发现这个角色很无趣。故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest.“I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath's is, without making that feature define him,”Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arguing that“when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable.”(据Neel Mukherjee说，是《别人的生活》中的一个角色阿迪纳斯让他最努力地工作。“我想我之所以挣扎，是因为很难写出一个像阿迪纳斯那样，最突出的个性特征是弱点的角色，而不让弱点来定义他，”Mukherjee说。 但是一个麻烦的角色远不是不受欢迎的客人，他继续说，“当角色与作者作对时，他们就会活跃起来，变得不可预测。”)”可推知，Neel Mukherjee认为，他那些难以书写的文字往往是最有趣的。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he'd finished his first version, he threw it away and started again.(这不仅仅是缺乏经验的作家的问题:著名儿童小说家Roald Dahl说，他在他的书《玛蒂尔达》中看到的主角是如此“错误”，以至于当他完成第一个版本时，他把它扔掉，重新开始)”；第二段中“Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. (以Stephen King例，他承认现在创作工人阶级的角色更加困难了，因为他自己的环境发生了变化)”；第四段中“For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: “boredom”. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon, she says.” She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her.(对于其他作家来说，比如凯伦·福勒，有一种特质可以让一个角色止步不前：“无聊”)”以及倒数第二段中“According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest.( 据Neel Mukherjee说，是《别人的生活》中的一个角色阿迪纳斯让他最努力地工作)”可推知，为这篇文章接受采访的作家可能是名人和成功人士。故选A。 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。 As most of us know, talking to and listening to parents don’t always go smoothly.

One morning when she came in late, Mr. Sharp, her teacher, burst into anger. Mr. Sharp told her, “I’ll write to your father if you aren’t here on time tomorrow.” Julia didn’t expect him to do that because her parents were very strict with her. So she said sorry and promised that she would be punctual from that moment on. The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast. When the bell rang, she had been seated in the classroom. The door opened and the teacher came in. But it wasn’t Mr. Sharp. It was Miss Young. Mr. Sharp was on business, so she was taking his class instead. How disappointed Julia was! The next morning Julia got up even earlier. After a quick breakfast she rushed to school. Just before she got to the school gate, she spotted a wallet lying on the ground. She picked it up. “Whose is this?” she wondered. As she stood there, there went the first bell. “What shall I do?” she hesitated. “I’ll turn in the wallet to the headmaster first,” she decided. And so she did. 注意：所续短文的词数为150左右。 Paragraph 1: When she hurried into the classroom, Mr. Sharp was already beginning his lesson. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As soon as the bell rang for the break, the door opened and in came Mr. Sterling, the headmaster. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: When she hurried into the classroom, Mr. Sharp was already beginning his lesson. Seeing her late again for class, he burst into anger, “You promised to be on time, but you are late again. I will write to your father after class!” She was about to explain when Mr. Sharp interrupted her, “I don’t want any of your excuses.” Her tears rolled down her cheeks, and she thought to herself, “That’s unfair. But what if he writes to my father? Will my father scold me? How will my mother punish me?” Paragraph 2: As soon as the bell rang for the break, the door opened and in came Mr. Sterling, the headmaster. With a wallet in his hand, he came up to Mr. Sharp, asking “Is this your wallet?” Though surprised, Mr. Sharp nodded. The headmaster continued, “You should thank Julia. She picked it up this morning and handed it in.” At this, Mr. Sharp realised he was totally wrong. Embarrassed but grateful, he said. “I’m terribly sorry for what I said, but I will write to your father and tell him how hard-working and good you are.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Julia经常迟到被老师Mr Sharp责备。于是Julia许诺不会迟到。这一天Julia在上学的路上看到一个钱包，于是把钱包教给校长以后才去上学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她匆匆走进教室时，夏普先生已经开始上课了。”可知，第一段可描写Mr Sharp非常生气，责备Julia答应不再迟到，却失言了，并说要写信给她的父亲，Julia很担心。 ②由第二段首句内容“课间铃一响，门就开了，校长斯特林先生走了进来。”可知，第二段可描写校长拿着钱包还给Mr Sharp，Mr Sharp知道了Julia善行，表示了感激并说给她的父亲写信表扬她。 2.续写线索：Mr Sharp责备Julia——要给Julia父亲写信——Julia担心——校长归还钱包——Mr Sharp知道善行——Mr Sharp了解情况——Mr Sharp感激并对Julia抱歉 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打断：interrupt/break in ②继续：continue/go on ③意识到：realise/be aware 情绪类 ①生气：burst into anger/blow up ②抱歉：be sorry for/apologize 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing her late again for class, he burst into anger, “You promised to be on time, but you are late again.
