This made many other people want to be farmers, too. But no one tried to stop the farmers from plowing almost all the land and cutting down most of the trees. Still, everything was fine until 1931. This was the beginning of a terrible drought—a long period without rain. The beautiful wheat fields dried up, and the crops died. Then there were no plants to keep the soil in place. All that was left was bare, ugly, dry dirt. Then the wind started to blow. With no trees to prevent it, the wind gathered up the soil into huge black clouds that travelled for miles. These clouds were called dust storms, and it was impossible for people to get away from them. Dirt is collected in people’s houses. It fell into their food. It got into their noses, mouths, and eyes. People wore masks, but the dust still clogged their lungs, causing many people to get sick. The dust even fell very high in a few places. Everything was buried in the dust, and farm animals died without food. The serious storms punished everyone and everything. The Great Plains became known as the Dust Bowl. This was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States. But some people believed the farmers deserved what happened to them because they did not care for the soil. They said the disaster could be prevented if the farmers were wiser and more careful. Mini-dictionary: 1. plow /plaʊ/v. 耕      2. bare /beə (r)/adj. 荒 芜 的 3. clog/klɒg/v. 堵塞    4. lung /lʌŋ/n. 肺     5. bury/'beri/v. 掩埋    6. deserve /di'zə:v/v. 应得 33．Where may this article come from? A．A news report. B．A tour guide. C．An environmental report. D．A biology magazine. 34．How was a dust storm formed on the Great Plains? a. Crops died and there was no plant to keep the soil. b. A terrible drought happened and fields dried up. c. Most of the trees on the plains were cut down. d. Wind blew and gathered up the soil into black clouds. A．b-c-a-d B．b-a-c-d C．c-b-a-d D．c-a-b-d 35．Which of the following isn’t the result of the dust storm? A．Many people got sick. B．The fields were polluted. C．Animals died without food. D．The Plain became a dust bowl. 36．Which of the following is an opinion about the dust storm? A．This was the worst natural disaster. B．The dust still clogged their lungs.

Now, here is one book that tells some of them. Do you think you want to follows the life of people in ancient China? 37 . In this book, there are more than 600 characters from Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. 38 They have got their own appearance and abilities. They also think about things in different ways. But all the characters share one thing in common. They are always true to themselves. In total, the book has got 1,130 small stories about these characters. 39 Some of them are not real, which might come from another novel. Or people heard something about one character and then it became a story in this book. Even some stories are just imaginary. 40 . But in fact, some phrases from it, such as “making a mountain from a molehill” (小题大做), are still used today. It also inspired later writers to create similar collections of stories. Many writers like Lu Xun talked about how important this book was. Why does this book have its place in Chinese literature (文学)? Firstly, there was no book of this kind before it came out. 41 For students, reading this book is like opening a window to the wonderful world of ancient China.

D．The stories and characters are also popular with young people. E．What’s more, the book teaches us about creativity, bravery and staying true. F．They are people with different jobs, such as writers, painters, artists and so on. 【答案】37．C 38．F 39．B 40．A 41．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了一本名为《世说新语》的书籍，书中包含了从汉朝到晋朝的600多个人物，讲述了1130个小故事，这些故事既有真实的，也有虚构的，书中的人物和故事对后世文学产生了深远的影响。 37．根据文章第一段“Do you think you want to follows the life of people in ancient China? ”可知，此处应填入一个与“跟随古代中国人的生活”相关的选项。选项C“如果是这样，你可以尝试《世说新语》。”符合语境。故选C。 38．根据文章第二段“In this book, there are more than 600 characters from Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty.”可知，此处应填入一个与书中人物相关的选项。选项F“他们从事不同的职业，如作家、画家、艺术家等。”符合语境。故选F。 39．根据文章第三段“In total, the book has got 1,130 small stories about these characters.”可知，此处应填入一个与故事长度相关的选项。选项B“所有的故事都是100字或更短。”符合语境。故选B。 40．根据文章第三段“Even some stories are just imaginary.”可知，此处应填入一个与故事性质相关的选项。选项A“听起来这本书只是一本故事书。”符合语境。故选A。 41．根据文章第五段“Firstly, there was no book of this kind before it came out.”可知，此处应填入一个与书籍影响相关的选项。选项E“更重要的是，这本书教会了我们创造力、勇敢和保持真实。”符合语境。故选E。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 We’ve all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3:45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3:30 am and Richard Branson at 5:45 am—and, as we know, “The early bird catches the worm (虫).” Indeed, it may be true that those who get up early have a jump start on the day before others are even out of bed. But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it’s a trait (特质) most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, eaten breakfast, and done one task before 8 am makes you want to sleep in until next Saturday, does it mean you’ll have a less successful life? For about half of us, this isn’t really a problem. It’s reported that about half the population doesn’t see themselves as ‘early birds’ or ‘night owls’—they’re more in the middle. About one in four of us, though, are more likely to be bright-eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the influence can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work. Many studies have found that morning people are more independent and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they are less likely to be sad, drink or smoke. “Although morning types may achieve more in school, night owls score higher on tests of memory, thinking speed and cognitive (认知的) ability, even when they have to do those tasks in the morning.” says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff, “Night-time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning-types, and a little bit richer.” Still think the morning people sound more like CEO type? Don’t set your alarm for 5 am just yet, as it turns out, changing your sleep times may not make much difference. “If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. They can think in many more ways.” says Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin (褪黑激素). “Then, you stop it and push the body to be in the daytime mode (状态). That can have much negative influence,” Wulff says, like how the body acts differently toward blood sugar control which can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Still believe “The early bird catches the worm.”? Maybe the saying should be “The bird that follows its own clock catches the worm!” 42．According to the passage, what can we learn about night owls? A．They like sleeping in front of the TV. B．They are more likely to be successful. C．They are less independent than morning people. D．Half the population see themselves as night owls. 43．Which of the following does Katharina Wulff probably agree? A．Keeping your sleep habits is better. B．Setting an alarm for 5 am is necessary. C．Changing natural sleep times can make you more creative. D．Getting up early can help you score higher on tests of memory. 44．The word “negative” in the last paragraph most probably means ________. A．important B．sad C．harmful D．amazing 45．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To explain why some people are more successful. B．To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late. C．To compare the differences between early risers and night owls. D．To argue against the opinion that getting up early leads to success. 【答案】42．C 43．A 44．C 45．D 【导语】本文通过对比“早起型”和“夜猫子型”人群的特点，反驳了“早起等于成功”的传统观点，并强调遵循自然作息的重要性。 42．细节理解题。根据“Many studies have found that morning people are more independent and agreeable.”可知，夜猫子相比早起者独立性较弱。故选C。 43．推理判断题。根据“If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better…pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful”可推知，她认为保持原有睡眠习惯更健康。故选A。 44．词句猜测题。根据“That can have much negative influence…like how the body acts differently toward blood sugar control which can lead to weight gain and other health problems.”可知，此处指造成的负面影响，所以划线部分的含义是“负面的；有害的”。故选C。 45．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文通过对比两类人群的特点，最终提出“遵循自身生物钟更重要”的观点，直接反驳了“早起成功论”，D项符合。故选D。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here’s how to mind your 46 (manner) at the dinner table. First things first Mind the little details—you 47 (hear) them all before. Answer an invitation letter in time; be fashionably on time; bring a gift 48 your host or hostess; and remember 49 (behave) politely. After you sit down The first thing you should do is place your napkin (餐巾) on your lap. Leave it there 50 the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common 51 (practise) is to place it on your seat until you return. What to do with utensils (餐具) The safest way is to start from the outside—the utensils 52 (far) from your plate—and move inward as the meal goes on. The fork and knife closest to the plate are for 53 (eat) your main course (主菜). How to hold a fork There are two ways of holding your fork—the 54 (Europe) style and the American style. In Europe, most eaters keep the knife in their right hand for cutting, and they keep the fork in their left hand for eating. In the American style, eaters switch (交换) the fork over to their 55 hand to eat the pieces that they have cut. Traditionally, this is the main difference between the two styles. After the party Don’t forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event. 【答案】 46．manners 47．have heard 48．for 49．to behave 50．until 51．practice 52．farthest 53．eating 54．European 55．right 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在节日聚会餐桌上的礼仪规范，包括回复邀请、用餐时的餐具使用方式等。 46．句意：以下是在餐桌前如何注意你的礼仪。mind one’s manners是固定搭配，意为“注意礼仪”，manner表示“礼仪”时常用复数形式。故填manners。 47．句意：首先要做的是先处理重要的事情。注意小细节——你以前都听过这些。根据“before”可知动作发生在过去并对现在有影响，用现在完成时。主语是you。故填have heard。 48．句意：给男主人或女主人带一份礼物。“bring sth. for sb.”表示“给某人带某物”，是固定搭配。故填for。 49．句意：并且记得举止礼貌。“remember to do sth.”意为“记得去做某事”。故填to behave。 50．句意：把它放在那里直到用餐结束。leave sth. until…表示“将某物保留到……时候”。故填until。 51．句意：如果你离开餐桌，最常见的做法是把它放在你的座位上直到你回来。the most common后接名词，practice意为“做法”。故填practice。 52．句意：最安全的方法是从最外面开始 —— 离你盘子最远的餐具 —— 然后随着用餐的进行向内使用。根据“start from the outside”可知是离盘子最远的，用最高级“farthest”。故填farthest。 53．句意：离盘子最近的刀叉是用来吃主菜的。“for”是介词，后接动名词作宾语。故填eating。 54．句意：有两种拿叉子的方式 —— 欧式和美式。修饰名词“style”用形容词“European”，意为“欧洲的”。故填European。 55．句意：在美式风格中，用餐者把叉子换到右手来吃他们切好的食物。根据前文“keep the knife in their right hand”可知，此处指“右手”。故填right。 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 The history of ORBIS International began in the 1970s.

For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teachers, yet, still he failed. It was Miss Jones’ class. She was asking a question. “I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question.” Then she said loudly, “Bill, please!” Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word. “Just try it! I believe you can!” After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him. Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Bill, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart in it.” Later, Miss Jones gave another exam. Bill did it with all his heart. He was very excited to find that he had passed the exam.

This made many other people want to be farmers, too. But no one tried to stop the farmers from plowing almost all the land and cutting down most of the trees. Still, everything was fine until 1931. This was the beginning of a terrible drought—a long period without rain. The beautiful wheat fields dried up, and the crops died. Then there were no plants to keep the soil in place. All that was left was bare, ugly, dry dirt. Then the wind started to blow. With no trees to prevent it, the wind gathered up the soil into huge black clouds that travelled for miles. These clouds were called dust storms, and it was impossible for people to get away from them. Dirt is collected in people’s houses. It fell into their food. It got into their noses, mouths, and eyes. People wore masks, but the dust still clogged their lungs, causing many people to get sick. The dust even fell very high in a few places. Everything was buried in the dust, and farm animals died without food. The serious storms punished everyone and everything. The Great Plains became known as the Dust Bowl. This was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States. But some people believed the farmers deserved what happened to them because they did not care for the soil. They said the disaster could be prevented if the farmers were wiser and more careful.

Do you think you want to follows the life of people in ancient China? 37 . In this book, there are more than 600 characters from Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. 38 They have got their own appearance and abilities. They also think about things in different ways. But all the characters share one thing in common. They are always true to themselves. In total, the book has got 1,130 small stories about these characters. 39 Some of them are not real, which might come from another novel. Or people heard something about one character and then it became a story in this book. Even some stories are just imaginary. 40 . But in fact, some phrases from it, such as “making a mountain from a molehill” (小题大做), are still used today. It also inspired later writers to create similar collections of stories. Many writers like Lu Xun talked about how important this book was. Why does this book have its place in Chinese literature (文学)? Firstly, there was no book of this kind before it came out. 41 For students, reading this book is like opening a window to the wonderful world of ancient China. A．It sounds like this book is simply a storybook. B．All the stories are 100 words long or even shorter. C．If so, you can try “A New Account of Tales of the World”. D．The stories and characters are also popular with young people. E．What’s more, the book teaches us about creativity, bravery and staying true. F．They are people with different jobs, such as writers, painters, artists and so on. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 We’ve all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3:45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3:30 am and Richard Branson at 5:45 am—and, as we know, “The early bird catches the worm (虫).” Indeed, it may be true that those who get up early have a jump start on the day before others are even out of bed. But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it’s a trait (特质) most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, eaten breakfast, and done one task before 8 am makes you want to sleep in until next Saturday, does it mean you’ll have a less successful life? For about half of us, this isn’t really a problem. It’s reported that about half the population doesn’t see themselves as ‘early birds’ or ‘night owls’—they’re more in the middle. About one in four of us, though, are more likely to be bright-eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the influence can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work. Many studies have found that morning people are more independent and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they are less likely to be sad, drink or smoke. “Although morning types may achieve more in school, night owls score higher on tests of memory, thinking speed and cognitive (认知的) ability, even when they have to do those tasks in the morning.” says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff, “Night-time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning-types, and a little bit richer.” Still think the morning people sound more like CEO type? Don’t set your alarm for 5 am just yet, as it turns out, changing your sleep times may not make much difference. “If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. They can think in many more ways.” says Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful.
