The sites on this list are good search engines that students can rely on. Fact Monster Homework help is always on hand with Fact Monster (www.factmonster.com). It is mainly fit for students aged from 7to 12. There are also all kinds of games, spelling tests and more for kids to improve their study and have some fun. Ask Kids Ask Kids (www.askkids.com) is a great site for students to safely find the information they need from the web. Besides being a useful and safe search engine, Ask Kids also has a useful picture and video search function that allows students to find pictures or videos that may be useful to their information search. SortFix SortFix (www.sortfix.com) is one of the useful search engines for students because it provides relevant, organized search results. It does this by analyzing the keywords in the search results, and giving the searcher the ability to focus on, or remove certain keywords. It is a useful search engine if you are not sure what information you want to find, or if you are tired of finding irrelevant results in your searches. Wolfram Alpha Created by Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com) can calculate things that it would take a hundred or more individual websites to do. It uses a set of ways to answer questions directly that you type into the search box, which is different from other websites. You can find everything from the nutritional value of an apple to the real-time position of the International Space Station. An Apple app is offered so that you can add it to any iPod Touch devices. It is best suited for older students. 1. Which website is worth recommendation to students needing visual materials? A. www.factmonster.com B. www.askkids.com C. www.sortfix.com D. www.wolframalpha.com 2. What’s special about Wolfram Alpha? A. It offers answers directly. B. It provides games for kids. C. It focuses on solving math problems. D. It is intended for astronomy enthusiasts. 3. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend four useful apps. B. To advertise four interesting websites. C. To list the top four popular websites in the US. D. To introduce four student-friendly search engines. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个对学生友好的搜索引擎。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Ask Kids部分中“Besides being a useful and safe search engine, Ask Kids also has a useful picture and video search function that allows students to find pictures or videos that may be useful to their information search. (除了是一个实用且安全的搜索引擎外，Ask Kids还具备实用的图片和视频搜索功能，能让学生找到对其信息搜索可能有用的图片或视频)”可知，Ask Kids会提供可视资料，根据“Ask Kids”部分第一句中的“www.askkids.com”可知，可以向需要可视资料的学生推荐网站“www.askkids.com”。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wolfram Alpha部分中“It uses a set of ways to answer questions directly that you type into the search box, which is different from other websites. (它使用一套方法直接回答你在搜索框中键入的问题，这与其他网站不同)”可知，Wolfram Alpha的特殊之处是它直接提供答案。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The sites on this list are good search engines that students can rely on. (这个名单上的网站是很好的搜索引擎，学生可以依赖)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍对学生友好的搜索引擎，根据Fact Monster，Ask Kids，SortFix和Wolfram Alpha可知，总共介绍了四个。故选D。 B Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak. Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels. While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels. Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister. Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011. 4. What led Sparks to write his first novel? A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major. 5. What do we know about The Notebook? A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004. B. It was written by two authors. C. It became a hit due to a report. D It was Sparks’ nonfiction work. 6. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist? A. His stories have nothing to do with love. B. He prefers to record real events in lives. C. His books never end with happiness. D. He pays attention to various themes. 7. Which words can best describe Sparks? A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国小说家Nicholas Sparks的成长经历、写作生涯，他作品的特点以及他在慈善方面的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学，但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯，并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”可知，一次受伤(即意外事故)促使Sparks写了他的第一部小说。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.(决心成为一名职业作家的Sparks花了几个月时间创作了他的第一部出版小说《恋恋笔记本》，该书于1996年面向公众发行后立即登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜。到2004年电影改编版上映时，Sparks又出版了七部小说)”可知，《恋恋笔记本》于2004年被改编成电影上映。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a ‘romance novelist’. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less than happy endings.(虽然Sparks的小说通常包含爱情故事，但他不认同自己是“言情小说家”这一说法。他的支持者们一致认为，Sparks探讨了更严肃的主题，如孤独、悲伤和失落，而且他的许多书都以不太圆满的结局收尾)”可知，Sparks不仅仅关注爱情故事，还关注各种不同的主题，所以他不是言情小说家。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学，但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯，并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”和第三段“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996.(决心成为一名职业作家的Sparks花了几个月时间创作了他的第一部出版小说《恋恋笔记本》，该书于1996年面向公众发行后立即登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜)”可知，Sparks在受伤结束运动生涯后，没有放弃，而是坚持写作并取得成功，体现了他的坚韧。再根据最后一段“Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.(Sparks将大量的时间和文学收益投入到圣母大学的写作项目以及慈善事业中，其中最著名的是他和妻子在2011年成立的Nicholas Sparks基金会)”可知，他很有爱心，愿意为慈善事业付出。所以“Tough and caring(坚韧且有爱心)”最能描述他。故选B项。 C Birds usually build their nests with sticks, leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish these years? The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 8. What did the European scientists find? A. There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. B. Some people help birds build their nests. C. There is almost no bird living in Antarctica. D. Birds can help pick up rubbish. 9. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Smelly. B. Beneficial. C. Poisonous. D. Splendid. 10. How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A. They can burn other harmful rubbish. B. They can make nests stronger. C. They can keep birds warm. D. They can keep insects away. 11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The harmful activities that humans have done to the environment. B. The harm that the environment brings to the wild animals. C. The reason why birds like using rubbish to build their nests. D. Human rubbish may bring more harm to birds. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对于鸟类在筑巢时使用垃圾这一现象进行了介绍，特别是探讨了鸟类为何会利用像烟头和塑料袋等人造物品筑巢，以及这一行为背后对鸟类产生的正反两面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica.”（他们发现除了南极洲之外，几乎地球上所有地方的鸟巢中都有人造物品）可知，欧洲科学家发现许多鸟类的巢穴中有垃圾。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义推测题。根据文章第三段“The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds.”（烟头中的toxic化学物质伤害幼鸟）可知，有毒的化学物质会伤害幼鸟。toxic的意思是“有毒的”，与C项“Poisonous”同义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds.”（例如，烟头有一种特殊的味道，可以驱赶昆虫，保护幼鸟）可知，烟头可以帮助鸟类是因为它们能驱赶昆虫。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment.”（更糟糕的是，如果烟还在燃烧，当鸟把它带回它的家，它可能会点燃鸟巢。渔网的碎片也可能困住鸟类，它们不可能自己出来。如果幼鸟不小心吃了其他种类的垃圾，它们也会受伤。我们在空中的鸟朋友正在感受人类污染环境的不良影响。）可知，第四段主要关于人类的垃圾可能会给鸟类带来更多的伤害。故选D项。 D Today, the imagination of going somewhere in a car with no one in the driver’s seat has come true. However, the self-driving cars still ask a human to be ready to take over driving if needed. Known as autonomous cars, they can make going anywhere much more convenient. The adults often spend more than 300 hours behind the wheel each year. Self-driving cars could give them that time back. In addition, autonomous cars may possibly transform what a car is and how it works. Think about it. With no need for a driver, does there need a driver’s seat or a steering wheel? Self-driving cars could have sofas, beds or even an entire kitchen. Passengers could sit and talk with one another face to face or go to sleep at the start of a drive and wake up in a new place. The inside of a car could also be an office, hair salon, or personal gym. Suddenly, cars are much more than just a way to get from one place to another. But a future of cars driving themselves around city streets with no one inside is still years away. That’s because the technology behind autonomous vehicles is still imperfect. The cameras and other systems that self-driving cars use to guide themselves have trouble “seeing” the road in bad weather or heavy traffic. They also have difficulty dealing with different kinds of roads. The road signs, and turns of a highway are very different from those of a neighborhood road. So, at least for a while, there will still need to be a human driver ready to take the wheel in self-driving cars. 12. What can be learned about self-driving cars from paragraph l and 2? A. They can replace electric cars. B. They need monthly system update. C. They need human control sometimes. D. They lengthen the adults’ driving time. 13. What may be changed by autonomous cars? A. Communication manner. B. People’s body clocks. C. The in-car human activities. D. People’s methods of driving. 14. What prevents self-driving cars from city streets? A. The unclear signs of highways. B. Their inability to avoid traffic jam. C. Their disadvantage in cleaning up the cameras. D. The technology behind the cars is not perfect yet. 15. What does the text mainly talk about self-driving cars? A. The bright future. B. The real imagination. C. The present situation. D. The unsolved problems. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是自动驾驶汽车的现状、潜在优势以及当前的技术限制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, the self-driving cars still ask a human to be ready to take over driving if needed.(然而，如果需要的话，自动驾驶汽车仍然要求人类做好接管驾驶的准备。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车有时会求助于人类控制。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Passengers could sit and talk with one another face to face or go to sleep at the start of a drive and wake up in a new place. The inside of a car could also be an office, hair salon, or personal gym.(乘客们可以坐下来面对面地交谈，或者在开车开始时睡觉，然后在一个新的地方醒来。汽车内部也可以是办公室、发廊或私人健身房。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车可能会改变车内人类活动。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That’s because the technology behind autonomous vehicles is still imperfect. The cameras and other systems that self-driving cars use to guide themselves have trouble “seeing” the road in bad weather or heavy traffic. They also have difficulty dealing with different kinds of roads.(这是因为自动驾驶汽车背后的技术仍不完善。在恶劣天气或交通拥挤的情况下，自动驾驶汽车用来引导自己的摄像头和其他系统很难“看到”道路。他们在处理不同类型的道路方面也有困难。)”可知，背后不完善的技术阻碍了自动驾驶汽车在城市街道上行驶。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Today, the imagination of going somewhere in a car with no one in the driver’s seat has come true. However, the self-driving cars still ask a human to be ready to take over driving if needed.(如今，无人驾驶的汽车去某个地方的想象已经成为现实。然而，如果需要的话，自动驾驶汽车仍然要求人类做好接管驾驶的准备。)”和最后一段“But a future of cars driving themselves around city streets with no one inside is still years away. That’s because the technology behind autonomous vehicles is still imperfect. The cameras and other systems that self-driving cars use to guide themselves have trouble “seeing” the road in bad weather or heavy traffic. They also have difficulty dealing with different kinds of roads.(但是，无人驾驶汽车在城市街道上自动驾驶的未来还需要几年的时间。这是因为自动驾驶汽车背后的技术仍不完善。在恶劣天气或交通拥挤的情况下，自动驾驶汽车用来引导自己的摄像头和其他系统很难“看到”道路。他们在处理不同类型的道路方面也有困难。)”可知，文章主要描述了自动驾驶汽车的现状、潜在优势以及当前的技术限制，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The present situation.(目前的情况。)”。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We know that bully (欺凌) happens a lot and that it can make people feel miserable.

B Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak. Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels. While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels. Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister. Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011. 4. What led Sparks to write his first novel? A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major. 5. What do we know about The Notebook? A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004. B. It was written by two authors. C. It became a hit due to a report. D It was Sparks’ nonfiction work. 6. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist? A. His stories have nothing to do with love. B. He prefers to record real events in lives. C. His books never end with happiness. D. He pays attention to various themes. 7. Which words can best describe Sparks? A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm. C Birds usually build their nests with sticks, leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish these years? The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 8. What did the European scientists find? A. There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. B. Some people help birds build their nests. C. There is almost no bird living in Antarctica. D. Birds can help pick up rubbish. 9. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Smelly. B. Beneficial. C. Poisonous. D. Splendid. 10. How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A. They can burn other harmful rubbish. B They can make nests stronger. C. They can keep birds warm. D. They can keep insects away. 11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The harmful activities that humans have done to the environment. B. The harm that the environment brings to the wild animals. C. The reason why birds like using rubbish to build their nests. D. Human rubbish may bring more harm to birds. D Today, the imagination of going somewhere in a car with no one in the driver’s seat has come true. However, the self-driving cars still ask a human to be ready to take over driving if needed. Known as autonomous cars, they can make going anywhere much more convenient. The adults often spend more than 300 hours behind the wheel each year. Self-driving cars could give them that time back. In addition, autonomous cars may possibly transform what a car is and how it works. Think about it. With no need for a driver, does there need a driver’s seat or a steering wheel? Self-driving cars could have sofas, beds or even an entire kitchen. Passengers could sit and talk with one another face to face or go to sleep at the start of a drive and wake up in a new place. The inside of a car could also be an office, hair salon, or personal gym. Suddenly, cars are much more than just a way to get from one place to another. But a future of cars driving themselves around city streets with no one inside is still years away. That’s because the technology behind autonomous vehicles is still imperfect. The cameras and other systems that self-driving cars use to guide themselves have trouble “seeing” the road in bad weather or heavy traffic. They also have difficulty dealing with different kinds of roads. The road signs, and turns of a highway are very different from those of a neighborhood road. So, at least for a while, there will still need to be a human driver ready to take the wheel in self-driving cars. 12. What can be learned about self-driving cars from paragraph l and 2? A. They can replace electric cars. B. They need monthly system update. C. They need human control sometimes. D. They lengthen the adults’ driving time. 13. What may be changed by autonomous cars? A. Communication manner. B. People’s body clocks. C. The in-car human activities. D. People’s methods of driving. 14. What prevents self-driving cars from city streets? A. The unclear signs of highways. B. Their inability to avoid traffic jam. C. Their disadvantage in cleaning up the cameras. D. The technology behind the cars is not perfect yet. 15. What does the text mainly talk about self-driving cars? A. The bright future. B. The real imagination. C. The present situation. D. The unsolved problems. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We know that bully (欺凌) happens a lot and that it can make people feel miserable. And school violence happens all the time. ___16___ Bully is where a person or a group exercise control over another against their will, often leaving the victim feeling powerless and alone. Bullying can take many forms. Children, young people and adults can instigate bullying and be bullied in schools.
