2, 000 years ago, the most powerful army in the world belonged to the Romans. They conquered (占领) almost all of Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa. Life in the army was hard. And many of the soldiers long for the comforts of home. They wanted to get married and set up families. The emperor, whose name was Claudius, grew worried that his army was growing soft. So he made a law that no soldier was allowed to get married.
By that time, many of the Romans were Christians. And one of their leaders was a bishop (主教), called Valentine. He believed that if a man and a woman fell in love with each other, they should get married. And so he decided to let soldiers get married in his church, even though it was against the law. The soldiers’ weddings were meant to be kept secret. But as you know, all secrets are hard to keep. And soon the word got out. Valentine was arrested (逮捕) and brought before the emperor who demanded that he stop helping soldiers to marry. When he refused, the emperor pronounced (宣判) him to death.
While Valentine was in prison, the jailer’s daughter used to bring him food. She was a young blind woman. She and Valentine used to spend long hours talking to each other. And soon they fell in love. One day, Valentine put his hand through the bars of the cell and touched the lids of her closed eyes. When she opened them again, she could see. It was a miracle (奇迹). The love story didn’t continue. Unfortunately, Valentine’s execution (死刑) was set for February 14th.
This took place in the year 270. And ever since, people have observed the day of February14th called Valentine’s Day, in honour of this brave bishop.
4. Why were the soldiers forbidden (禁止) to get married?

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily,listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases,a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
8. By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show .
A. Children should listen to music
B. Why adults should listen to music
C. Listening to music is only good for adults
D. Why scientists are interested in music
9. What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. shows. B. changes.
C. improves. D. harms.
10. The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means .
A. understanding foreign cultures better
B. learning languages better
C. accepting the fast developing world easily
D. showing greater interest in other cultures
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why do Children Love Music?
B. How to Choose Music for Children
C. Why is Music Important to Children?
D. How to Teach Children Music Easily
D
Psychologists tell us our self-image defines(限定) what we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up belief about ourselves: Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. As self-image plays a great role in our growth, gaining a proper understanding of it and even making changes to it can hold significant meaning for our development.
Changing our self-image is possible: Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentally picturing ourselves performing well at some tasks. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, it's suggested that we replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine themselves doing well. For example, subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts(飞镖) at a bull's-eye on a target Over a period of weeks, their dart game improved.
The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real. The aim is to find the real self and to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. We're usually better than we think we are.
Another important part of changing self-image is to not think about past mistakes. Don't let failures do harm. It is all right to make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not dwell on(纠结于)them. Sometimes we keep remembering our failures or mistakes and feel guilty or embarrassed about them, and then we develop a fear.
It is important to have realistic expectations of ourselves. Some of our dissatisfaction might come from expecting too much of ourselves. If our goal is to reach perfection, we are doomed(注定要失败的)from the start.
12. Which situation agrees with the idea of the passage?
A. To win a speech contest, Tina pictures herself speaking more confidently.
B. To get along with her classmates, Doris always humbles(使卑微)herself.
C. To become a star player, Alex repeatedly plays back his mistakes in his mind.
D. To be better than his classmates, Joe sets an unrealistic goal.
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To clarify(澄清)the key to changing self-image.
B. To confirm(确认)the effect of changing self-image
C. To propose a new view on changing self-image.
D. To stress the importance of changing self-image.
14. According to the author, how should we regard our past mistakes?
A. They are tools for overcoming fear. B. They are warnings for future.
C. They are part of our growth. D. They are barriers to our development.
15. What is the main idea that the author conveys in the passage?
A. Overcoming fear through past mistakes.
B. Building a realistic self-image through proper imagination.
C The importance of humility(谦卑)in personal growth.
D. Setting realistic goals for personal development.

The peaceful little town Cherrywood Dale was made up of colorful houses, each one home to a warm-hearted family. The neighbors were the salt of the earth, always ready to lend a helping hand to one another. However, among them was an exception, an old man named Mr. Johnson, who lived alone in a small cottage.
Mr. Johnson was known for his excellent gardening skills. His gift for gardening had turned his backyard into a beautiful rose garden. However, his passionate devotion to gardening had left him with little time for personal life. His only company was his beloved roses.
Not far from Mr. Johnson’s cottage lived a young couple, Tom and Emily. They were the complete opposite of Mr. Johnson—lively and sociable, always up to something new and exciting. Their home was always filled with the sound of laughter and good cheer. They had a young son named Charlie, who was Mr. Johnson’s favorite neighbor. Charlie’s infectious laughter and boundless energy brought some life to Mr. Johnson’s quiet existence.
One day, Charlie decided to surprise Mr. Johnson by decorating his front yard for the upcoming Harvest Festival. He knew how much Mr. Johnson loved autumn and the changing of the leaves. Charlie enlisted the help of his parents and set to work, painting pumpkins(南瓜)and hanging decorations. They were so caught up in their creation that they ended up accidentally stepping on Mr. Johnson’s prize-winning roses.
The next morning, Mr. Johnson came out of his cottage and saw the beautiful display, his face shining with delight. But his smile quickly turned into a frown(皱眉)when he saw the destroyed roses. He called over Tom and Emily, who were equally displeased by what had happened. They apologized sincerely, promising to replace the roses, but Mr. Johnson was unmoved. The once friendly neighbors became locked in an uneasy standoff. Charlie was heartbroken, not understanding why Mr. Johnson wouldn’t accept their apology.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then one afternoon, Emily decided to make the first move.

And many of the soldiers long for the comforts of home. They wanted to get married and set up families. The emperor, whose name was Claudius, grew worried that his army was growing soft. So he made a law that no soldier was allowed to get married.
By that time, many of the Romans were Christians. And one of their leaders was a bishop (主教), called Valentine. He believed that if a man and a woman fell in love with each other, they should get married. And so he decided to let soldiers get married in his church, even though it was against the law. The soldiers’ weddings were meant to be kept secret. But as you know, all secrets are hard to keep. And soon the word got out. Valentine was arrested (逮捕) and brought before the emperor who demanded that he stop helping soldiers to marry. When he refused, the emperor pronounced (宣判) him to death.
While Valentine was in prison, the jailer’s daughter used to bring him food. She was a young blind woman. She and Valentine used to spend long hours talking to each other. And soon they fell in love. One day, Valentine put his hand through the bars of the cell and touched the lids of her closed eyes. When she opened them again, she could see. It was a miracle (奇迹). The love story didn’t continue. Unfortunately, Valentine’s execution (死刑) was set for February 14th.
This took place in the year 270. And ever since, people have observed the day of February14th called Valentine’s Day, in honour of this brave bishop.
4. Why were the soldiers forbidden (禁止) to get married?

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily,listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases,a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
8. By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show .
A. Children should listen to music
B. Why adults should listen to music
C. Listening to music is only good for adults
D. Why scientists are interested in music
9. What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. shows. B. changes.
C. improves. D. harms.
10. The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means .
A. understanding foreign cultures better
B. learning languages better
C. accepting the fast developing world easily
D. showing greater interest in other cultures
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why do Children Love Music?
B. How to Choose Music for Children
C. Why is Music Important to Children?
D. How to Teach Children Music Easily
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章由音乐对成年人的重要性进而引出音乐对儿童的重要性的介绍,并指出了一些理由,如对儿童智力有好处,能够帮助孩子们减轻压力,能够使孩子们心情更好等等。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it.可知听音乐对成年人来说是件好事。确实是。科学研究已经证明了这一点。由此可推知,作者在第一段中提到了科学研究,想说明为什么成年人应该听音乐。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.可知幸运的是,听音乐可以帮助他们感觉更好。由此可知,本句意思为太多压力会损害孩子的健康。故划线单词意思为“损害”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.可知音乐可以帮助他们了解外国文化。由此可知,听音乐意味着更好地理解外国文化。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句Here are some reasons why music is important to children.可知以下是为什么音乐对孩子很重要的一些原因。结合文章主要论述了由音乐对成年人的重要性进而引出音乐对儿童的重要性的介绍,并指出了一些理由,如对儿童智力有好处,能够帮助孩子们减轻压力,能够使孩子们心情更好等等。故C选项“为什么音乐对孩子很重要?”符合文章标题。故选C。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为
① 定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代内容,做题时要注意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题,根据后文Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.可知幸运的是,听音乐可以帮助他们感觉更好。由此可知,本句意思为太多压力会损害孩子的健康。故划线单词意思为“损害”。故选D。

Psychologists tell us our self-image defines(限定) what we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up belief about ourselves: Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. As self-image plays a great role in our growth, gaining a proper understanding of it and even making changes to it can hold significant meaning for our development.
Changing our self-image is possible: Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentally picturing ourselves performing well at some tasks. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, it's suggested that we replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine themselves doing well. For example, subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts(飞镖) at a bull's-eye on a target Over a period of weeks, their dart game improved.
The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real. The aim is to find the real self and to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. We're usually better than we think we are.
Another important part of changing self-image is to not think about past mistakes. Don't let failures do harm. It is all right to make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not dwell on(纠结于)them. Sometimes we keep remembering our failures or mistakes and feel guilty or embarrassed about them, and then we develop a fear.
It is important to have realistic expectations of ourselves. Some of our dissatisfaction might come from expecting too much of ourselves. If our goal is to reach perfection, we are doomed(注定要失败的)from the start.
12. Which situation agrees with the idea of the passage?
A. To win a speech contest, Tina pictures herself speaking more confidently.
B. To get along with her classmates, Doris always humbles(使卑微)herself.
C. To become a star player, Alex repeatedly plays back his mistakes in his mind.
D. To be better than his classmates, Joe sets an unrealistic goal.
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A To clarify(澄清)the key to changing self-image.
B. To confirm(确认)the effect of changing self-image
C. To propose a new view on changing self-image.
D. To stress the importance of changing self-image.
14. According to the author, how should we regard our past mistakes?
A. They are tools for overcoming fear. B. They are warnings for future.
C. They are part of our growth. D. They are barriers to our development.
15. What is the main idea that the author conveys in the passage?
A. Overcoming fear through past mistakes.
B. Building a realistic self-image through proper imagination.
C. The importance of humility(谦卑)in personal growth.
D. Setting realistic goals for personal development.

The peaceful little town Cherrywood Dale was made up of colorful houses, each one home to a warm-hearted family. The neighbors were the salt of the earth, always ready to lend a helping hand to one another. However, among them was an exception, an old man named Mr. Johnson, who lived alone in a small cottage.
Mr. Johnson was known for his excellent gardening skills. His gift for gardening had turned his backyard into a beautiful rose garden. However, his passionate devotion to gardening had left him with little time for personal life. His only company was his beloved roses.
Not far from Mr. Johnson’s cottage lived a young couple, Tom and Emily. They were the complete opposite of Mr. Johnson—lively and sociable, always up to something new and exciting. Their home was always filled with the sound of laughter and good cheer. They had a young son named Charlie, who was Mr. Johnson’s favorite neighbor. Charlie’s infectious laughter and boundless energy brought some life to Mr. Johnson’s quiet existence.
One day, Charlie decided to surprise Mr. Johnson by decorating his front yard for the upcoming Harvest Festival. He knew how much Mr. Johnson loved autumn and the changing of the leaves. Charlie enlisted the help of his parents and set to work, painting pumpkins(南瓜)and hanging decorations. They were so caught up in their creation that they ended up accidentally stepping on Mr. Johnson’s prize-winning roses.
The next morning, Mr. Johnson came out of his cottage and saw the beautiful display, his face shining with delight. But his smile quickly turned into a frown(皱眉)when he saw the destroyed roses. He called over Tom and Emily, who were equally displeased by what had happened. They apologized sincerely, promising to replace the roses, but Mr. Johnson was unmoved. The once friendly neighbors became locked in an uneasy standoff. Charlie was heartbroken, not understanding why Mr. Johnson wouldn’t accept their apology.

【答案】Then one afternoon, Emily decided to make the first move. She went to local florist’s and asked around for the roses that looked like Mr. Johnson’s. Immediately she managed to replace the destroyed roses and tended the delicate flowers cautiously with the help of Tom and Charlie. Seeing the thoughtful acts, Mr. Johnson finally realized that he overreacted that day and made an apology for his misbehavior. However, what the family cared most was whether what they did could make for his loss and cheered him up.
Mr. Johnson was moved by the three’s sincere understanding. He made up his mind to take care of the roses together with the family. As the Harvest Festival approached, the flowers unfolded smiles gradually, which revived his garden. Mr. Johnson expressed how he loved the works of art Charlie created. He even invited the whole family to dinner in his cottage where laughter and happiness had never existed before. The roses, though once destroyed, brought Mr. Johnson something more precious—kindness and genuineness as well as an open heart.
