There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 36. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B. She was anxious to know what had happened. C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 37. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A. her unique way to locate herself B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D. her growing desire to know the world around her 38. What was the author’s view on factual reading? A. It would help her update test-taking skills. B. It would allow much room for free thinking. C. It would provide true and objective information. D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 39. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for learning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world 40. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Growing Up with Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者讲述了自己的读书经历和感悟。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.可知，作者总是想知道妈妈在读什么，所以作者抢过妈妈读的报纸，因为作者自己迫切想看一看报纸上写的内容，故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.可以推断出，作者让妈妈开车开慢一点是为了他能够读出所有路标，所以作者在阅读方面的进步显示他对周围世界的好奇心，故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my test.可知，小学和中学阶段的阅读都是事实性阅读，读书是为了获取知识，考试得A。因此事实性阅读能够提供真实的客观的信息，故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone.(打开一本小说，我可以摆脱我的负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，我现在是一个新的角色。在这个世界上，我可以成为任何人。)可知，阅读小说可以让作者避开复杂的现实而投入到小说中的世界中去，故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，作者以时间顺序回忆了自己的阅读经历和感悟，作者伴着阅读成长，故选项C为最佳标题。 C Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work. Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry. One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most dangerous work in the business The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person. The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities (致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association. Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers. 41. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____. A. it’s a bit smaller B. it can map abandoned mines C. it can see in the dark tunnel D. it has a real sense of logic 42. The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____. A. gets angry B. gets sick C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful 43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____. A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry B. there will be no need for human workers in mines C. the mine robots will have a very bright future D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now 44. We can learn from the text that _____. A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Mining Accidents in America B. Robots in Mines C. Cave Crawler, the Latest Robot D. The Future of Robots 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了专家们正试图让机器人帮助矿工做危险的工作，介绍了这种类型机器人的发展历程以及如今面临的问题等情况。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe.(最新的设计被称为洞穴爬行者。它比土拨鼠小一点，但更先进。它可以拍摄照片和视频，并有更多的传感器，可以发现危险气体的存在。这个机器人有真正的逻辑意识，这很难让人相信。)”可知，最新的机器人比Groundhog更先进，主要是因为它有真正的逻辑感。故选D。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“ If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.(如果它遇到一个东西，它就会感到困惑。它必须思考整个过程和下一步该怎么走，有时它就像一个真实的人一样throws a bit 。)”可知，遇到障碍时机器人会感到迷惑，然后思考程序和下一步该怎么走。有时(障碍不能解决时)也会像人一样大发脾气。throw a fit意为“大发脾气”，A选项gets angry（变得生气）符合题意。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.(一些专家预测，矿山中机器人将发挥与汽车工业中相同的功能。机器人做最无聊和危险的工作，但不会摆脱对人类工人的需要)”可推知，矿井机器人将有一个非常光明的未来。故选C。 44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.(一小群工程师和机器人专家期待着在不久的将来，机器人和其他技术将完成大部分危险的采矿工作)”和第二段“Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.(McAteer说，机器人技术尤其具有很大的前景，特别是在绘制矿山地图和营救被困矿工——采矿业的特殊作业方面。)”可推知，专家们正试图让机器人帮助矿工做危险的工作。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.(一小群工程师和机器人专家期待着在不久的将来，机器人和其他技术将完成大部分危险的采矿工作)”结合文章主要介绍了专家们正试图让机器人帮助矿工做危险的工作，介绍了这种类型机器人的发展历程以及如今面临的问题等情况。可知，B选项“矿井中的机器人”最符合文章标题。故选B。 非选择题(满分25分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 It’s hard to make friends if you stay home alone all the time.

You can transform yourself and live a better life by making positive changes along the way. Here are some choices that will lead to your transformation. Choose to change bad habits. Some bad habits seem to exist without us realizing it. Make the choice today so that you won’t be ruled by them. You can overcome them, find better alternatives, and become a better you through your struggle! Do it for yourself more than anything. Choose to grow. It’s easy to get stuck in a fixed way of life. However, with a reevaluation and growth comes a beautiful freedom. In choosing to grow, you build your character, develop your strengths, become aware of what needs improvement, and turn into the well-rounded person you need to be to succeed. Choose to seek a balanced life. Where do you need balance? Are you all work and no play? Or the opposite? Neither extreme will lead you to a pleasant life for very long. If you spend too much time working or lock yourself away alone, find the time for social interaction and having fun. If you haven’t been committed to a schedule in a while, make the decision to start following one. Choose to spend time with those you love. This is vital to human existence. We need the loving bonds created by family members and friends. Personal relationships are key to emotional growth and social stability. Choose to live passionately. Whatever your dream is, you can have it. The person you wish to be and the things you wish to achieve are within you. Make the choice to pursue those passions at whatever cost. It may mean clearing out your schedule or doing something you’ve never done. However, the reward from success and personal accomplishment will be worth it. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To inspire readers to make positive changes for a better life. B. To provide a step-by-step guide on overcoming bad habits. C. To discuss the importance of personal relationships. D. To describe the benefits of a balanced lifestyle. 32. What does the author imply about overcoming bad habits? A. It requires a sudden, dramatic change in behavior. B. It is a process that happens without conscious effort. C. It can be achieved through deliberate choice and effort. D.

What does the author suggest as a necessary action for personal accomplishment? A. Following a strict schedule without any breaks. B. Living a peaceful life without any challenges. C. Avoiding social interactions and focusing on work. D. Opening up your calendar to pursue passions. B I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 36. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B. She was anxious to know what had happened. C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 37. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A. her unique way to locate herself B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D. her growing desire to know the world around her 38. What was the author’s view on factual reading? A. It would help her update test-taking skills. B. It would allow much room for free thinking. C It would provide true and objective information. D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 39. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for learning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world 40. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Growing Up with Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man C Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work. Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry. One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most dangerous work in the business The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person. The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities (致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association. Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers. 41. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____. A. it’s a bit smaller B. it can map abandoned mines C. it can see in the dark tunnel D. it has a real sense of logic 42. The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____. A. gets angry B. gets sick C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful 43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____. A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry B. there will be no need for human workers in mines C. the mine robots will have a very bright future D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now 44. We can learn from the text that _____. A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Mining Accidents in America B. Robots in Mines C. Cave Crawler the Latest Robot D.
