Kids were made for the outdoors, with their endless energy and the easy way in which they make friends. It’s not different for Kameron, an ordinary, fun-loving 7-year-old girl who loves to draw out the world’s longest hopscotch(跳格子) on the sidewalk. In between jump-rope games, basketball shootouts and skateboard races, Kameron takes time to do something special for her neighbors. Kameron’s community is home to a good mix of young families and elderly neighbors whose children have long since left home. Kameron first started waving to them. Most of them smiled back. Then Kameron decides that some of them need a little pleasure. So she runs home, takes her violin and makes the rounds. “Can I play you a song?” she asks, after knocking on the door. Gustav smiles wide. He has beautiful white hair and a soft accent. He grew up in Scandinavia and is a wood finisher. His wife Vivian has a smile that fills their tiny home. She stands awkwardly, and has difficulty moving about. It looks terribly uncomfortable. Vivian has had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩) for over 20 years. Gustav is her full-time caregiver. They’ve replaced their daily walks with afternoon drives, but even those are getting too difficult for Vivian. Gus lets Kameron in, and Vivian takes hold of both their arms and pulls to her chair. On the table beside her is a photo of her with Gus when they were young and energetic, traveling around Europe, Egypt and Iceland. In the photo, Vivian is very beautiful, and Gus is handsome. “Want me to play your favorite song?” Kameron asks. “Of course,” Gus answers. It is the only song Kameron knows. The small violin rests seriously under Kameron’s chin(下巴). She plays as best she can. Vivian beats her knee obviously to keep rhythm(节奏) for Kameron. Gus holds Vivian’s other hand. It’s not the performance that is moving, but the memories it brings. 4. What is Kameron special compared with other kids? A. She likes playing outside. B. She cares about the elderly. C. She has plenty of energy. D. She can draw on the sidewalk. 5. Why did Kameron knock on a couple’s door? A. To sing a song to them. B. To learn the violin from them. C. To cheer them up with music. D. To invite them to go to a concert. 6. What did the couple use to do every day? A. Go for a walk. B. Make a drive. C. Stay at home. D. Do woodworking. 7. What is the most moving for the couple? A. The love between them. B. Vivian’s reaction to the music. C. Kameron’s performance. D. Thinking back to past experiences. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个七岁的小姑娘通过演奏小提琴为一对生活很孤独、妻子还常年生病的老年夫妇带来了极大欢乐的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In between jump-rope games, basketball shootouts and skateboard races, Kameron takes time to do something special for her neighbors.(在跳绳游戏、篮球枪战和滑板比赛的间隙， Kameron会抽出时间为邻居们做一些特别的事情。)”可知，在跳绳游戏，投篮比赛和滑板比赛的间隙，Kameron会花时间为她的邻居做一些特别的事情，由此可以推断她关爱老人。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Then Kameron decides that some of them need a little pleasure. So she runs home, takes her violin and makes the rounds. “Can I play you a song?” she asks, after knocking on the door.( 然后Kameron断定他们中的一些人需要一点乐趣。于是她跑回家，拿着她的小提琴绕了一圈。“我可以给你弹首歌吗?”她敲门后问道。)”可知因为认为邻居中的一些人需要乐趣，所以Kameron拿着小提琴敲门拜访，其目的是希望通过音乐让他们高兴起来。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They’ve replaced their daily walks with afternoon drives, but even those are getting too difficult for Vivian.(他们已经把每天的散步改为下午开车，但对薇薇安来说，即使这样也变得太困难了。)”可知因为散步对于薇薇安来说已经很困难，所以这对夫妇已经把每天的散步换成了下午的自驾，由此可以推测他们过去曾经每天散步。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s not the performance that is moving, but the memories it brings.(动人的不是表演，而是它带来的回忆。)”可知对于这对夫妇来说让人感动的不是表演，而是表演可以让他们回想起过去的经历。故选D项。 C One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake. I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director. Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country. “Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said. Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient. 8. Why did the author stop the car? A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly. C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good. 9. What happened to the turtle? A. It got hurt by people before. B. It was injured a little bit. C. It was run over by a car. D. It lost its direction. 10. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last? A. Leaving the turtles alone. B. Making Ontario home to turtles. C. Changing the road conditions. D. Helping turtles find nesting spots. 11. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The director. B. The driver. C. The author. D. The turtle. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”在开车时发现了一只海龟，在帮助它时却伤害了它，所以“我”决定向专业人士请教如何正确地帮助海龟的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety.(几秒钟后，我意识到我看到的是一只大乌龟。我怕乌龟被车撞坏，就把车停在路边，跑过马路，把乌龟拖到安全的地方)”可知，“我”把车停在路边，跑过马路是为了把海龟拖到安全的地方。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake.(我曾听说，要想抓住乌龟而不伤着它，最好的办法就是抓住它的尾巴，以免被它咬伤。所以我犯了一个大错误)”可知，“我”听说抱起海龟且不伤害它的最好方法是抓住它的尾巴，这样就不会被咬到。所以“我”犯了那个很大的错误。由此可推知，海龟因为“我”的错误操作而受伤了。故选 B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“‘Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,’ Dr. Sue said.(‘海龟知道自己要去哪里。所以，只要让它们朝着它们想去的方向前进，你可能就救了一只海龟的命，’Sue博士说)”可知，Sue博士说海龟知道自己要去哪里，因此，只要让海龟朝着自己想去的方向走，你就可能拯救了一只海龟的性命。由此可知，帮助海龟最好的办法就是不干涉它。故选 A。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句的“Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education.(Sue博士告诉我，该组织处理了海龟保护的许多方面，包括救援、安置、生育计划、研究和教育)”和最后一段第一句“Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine.(一旦受伤的海龟到达该中心，就会有医疗设施准备就绪，包括x光机)”可知，一旦受伤的海龟到达海龟保护中心，这里已经准备好了医疗设施，医务人员就可以帮助他们的病人疗伤。由此可推知，此处的画线词“病人”指的是受伤的海龟。故选 D。 D Skill of copying and moving images onto paper is an art form shining in history, Zhao Xu reports. Rubbing, the tracing (描摹) of characters onto a piece of paper, reached its golden age during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). To do this, a thin piece of paper was placed over the surface of the stone tablet (石板) carved with characters. Then water, or later, ink, was applied smoothly to the back of the paper with just the right amount of pressure, to soften the paper and allow for a total moving of the details onto it. The paper was left to dry and then be lifted off the stone surface, carrying with it a copy of the original (原作). Repeated hundreds of thousands of times during the Song era, this hands-on skill enabled educated members of Song society to have a chance to learn from master calligraphic works either from their own times or from earlier dynasties. Oftentimes, the original calligraphy, or even its stone version, became lost over time, thus making the rubbings the only surviving copy of the masterworks that had once existed. In that sense, the Song rubbings, and those behind them; have helped to preserve a cultural relic much valued then and now. Now, art lovers have the chance to visit it at an exhibition (展览) held at Beijing’s Palace Museum themed the Song rubbings. Of the 40 pieces on show, 20 are drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum, which holds a total of 150 Song rubbings. The other half are lent for the first time by the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), whose collection of rubbings were donated by J. S. Lee. “What we have here is not just a showcase of the beauty of ink and paper, the art of calligraphy, carving and rubbing, but also the telling of stories shining in cultural pride and common spirit,” said Wang Xudong, director of the Palace Museum. 12. What do we know about rubbing? A. There were five steps to make a rubbing. B. It moved characters from paper to a stone. C. It was well developed in the Song Dynasty. D. Pressure was applied to the paper to smooth it. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The development of rubbing. B. The importance of rubbing. C. The process of rubbing. D. The loss of rubbing. 14. What does paragraph 4 suggest? A. Altogether there are 150 rubbings on show. B. Twenty of the rubbings were donated by CUHK. C. Sources of the exhibits are from two organizations. D. 190 Song rubbings are housed in the Palace Museum now. 15. How does Wang Xudong feel about the exhibition? A. Proud. B. Shocked. C. Thankful. D. Worried. 16. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A brochure. C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A section of a newspaper. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 16. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拓印技术，说明了这种技术的历史以及重要性等知识。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Rubbing, the tracing (描摹) of characters onto a piece of paper, reached its golden age during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). (拓印，即在纸上描画文字，在宋朝（960-1279）达到了鼎盛时期。)”可知，拓印在宋代得到了很好的发展。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Repeated hundreds of thousands of times during the Song era, this hands-on skill enabled educated members of Song society to have a chance to learn from master calligraphic works either from their own times or from earlier dynasties. Oftentimes, the original calligraphy, or even its stone version, became lost over time, thus making the rubbings the only surviving copy of the masterworks that had once existed. In that sense, the Song rubbings, and those behind them; have helped to preserve a cultural relic much valued then and now. (在宋朝，这种实践技能重复了数十万次，使宋朝社会受过教育的成员有机会学习自己时代或早期朝代的书法大师作品。通常情况下，原始的书法，甚至它的石头版本，随着时间的推移而丢失，因此，这些拓片是曾经存在的大师作品的唯一幸存的副本。从这个意义上说，宋朝拓片及其背后的拓片；帮助保护了一件当时和现在都很有价值的文物。)”可知，第三段的主要内容是拓印的重要性。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Of the 40 pieces on show,20 are drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum, which holds a total of 150 Song rubbings. The other half are lent for the first time by the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), whose collection of rubbings were donated by J. S. Lee. (在展出40件作品中，有20件来自故宫博物院的藏品，故宫博物院共收藏了150件宋朝拓片。另一半则由香港中文大学艺术馆首次出借，该馆的拓片收藏是由J. S. Lee捐赠的。)”可推知，第4段暗示了展品的来源来自两个组织。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““What we have here is not just a showcase of the beauty of ink and paper, the art of calligraphy, carving and rubbing, but also the telling of stories shining in cultural pride and common spirit,” said Wang Xudong, director of the Palace Museum. (故宫博物院院长王旭东表示：“我们在这里不仅展示了水墨之美、书法、雕刻和拓印艺术，还讲述了文化自豪感和共同精神的故事。”)”可推知，王旭东对这次展览感到骄傲。故选A。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Skill of copying and moving images onto paper is an art form shining in history, Zhao Xu reports. Rubbing, the tracing (描摹) of characters onto a piece of paper, reached its golden age during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). (赵旭报道，将图像复制并移动到纸上的技术是一种历史上闪耀的艺术形式。拓印，即在纸上描画文字，在宋朝（960-1279）达到了鼎盛时期。)”结合文章主要介绍了拓印技术，说明了这种技术的历史以及重要性等知识。可推知，文章可能选自报纸的部分内容。故选D。 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。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you’re in good company.

Kids were made for the outdoors, with their endless energy and the easy way in which they make friends. It’s not different for Kameron, an ordinary, fun-loving 7-year-old girl who loves to draw out the world’s longest hopscotch(跳格子) on the sidewalk. In between jump-rope games, basketball shootouts and skateboard races, Kameron takes time to do something special for her neighbors. Kameron’s community is home to a good mix of young families and elderly neighbors whose children have long since left home. Kameron first started waving to them. Most of them smiled back. Then Kameron decides that some of them need a little pleasure. So she runs home, takes her violin and makes the rounds. “Can I play you a song?” she asks, after knocking on the door. Gustav smiles wide. He has beautiful white hair and a soft accent. He grew up in Scandinavia and is a wood finisher. His wife Vivian has a smile that fills their tiny home. She stands awkwardly, and has difficulty moving about. It looks terribly uncomfortable. Vivian has had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩) for over 20 years. Gustav is her full-time caregiver. They’ve replaced their daily walks with afternoon drives, but even those are getting too difficult for Vivian. Gus lets Kameron in, and Vivian takes hold of both their arms and pulls to her chair. On the table beside her is a photo of her with Gus when they were young and energetic, traveling around Europe, Egypt and Iceland. In the photo, Vivian is very beautiful, and Gus is handsome. “Want me to play your favorite song?” Kameron asks. “Of course,” Gus answers. It is the only song Kameron knows. The small violin rests seriously under Kameron’s chin(下巴). She plays as best she can. Vivian beats her knee obviously to keep rhythm(节奏) for Kameron. Gus holds Vivian’s other hand. It’s not the performance that is moving, but the memories it brings. 4. What is Kameron special compared with other kids? A. She likes playing outside. B. She cares about the elderly. C.

C One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake. I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director. Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country. “Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said. Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient. 8. Why did the author stop the car? A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly. C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good. 9. What happened to the turtle? A. It got hurt by people before. B. It was injured a little bit. C. It was run over by a car. D. It lost its direction. 10. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last? A. Leaving the turtles alone. B. Making Ontario home to turtles. C. Changing the road conditions. D. Helping turtles find nesting spots. 11. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The director. B. The driver. C. The author. D. The turtle. D Skill of copying and moving images onto paper is an art form shining in history, Zhao Xu reports. Rubbing, the tracing (描摹) of characters onto a piece of paper, reached its golden age during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). To do this, a thin piece of paper was placed over the surface of the stone tablet (石板) carved with characters. Then water, or later, ink, was applied smoothly to the back of the paper with just the right amount of pressure, to soften the paper and allow for a total moving of the details onto it. The paper was left to dry and then be lifted off the stone surface, carrying with it a copy of the original (原作). Repeated hundreds of thousands of times during the Song era, this hands-on skill enabled educated members of Song society to have a chance to learn from master calligraphic works either from their own times or from earlier dynasties. Oftentimes, the original calligraphy, or even its stone version, became lost over time, thus making the rubbings the only surviving copy of the masterworks that had once existed. In that sense, the Song rubbings, and those behind them; have helped to preserve a cultural relic much valued then and now. Now, art lovers have the chance to visit it at an exhibition (展览) held at Beijing’s Palace Museum themed the Song rubbings. Of the 40 pieces on show, 20 are drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum, which holds a total of 150 Song rubbings. The other half are lent for the first time by the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), whose collection of rubbings were donated by J. S. Lee. “What we have here is not just a showcase of the beauty of ink and paper, the art of calligraphy, carving and rubbing, but also the telling of stories shining in cultural pride and common spirit,” said Wang Xudong, director of the Palace Museum. 12. What do we know about rubbing? A. There were five steps to make a rubbing. B. It moved characters from paper to a stone. C. It was well developed in the Song Dynasty. D. Pressure was applied to the paper to smooth it. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The development of rubbing. B. The importance of rubbing. C. The process of rubbing. D. The loss of rubbing. 14. What does paragraph 4 suggest? A. Altogether there are 150 rubbings on show. B. Twenty of the rubbings were donated by CUHK. C. Sources of the exhibits are from two organizations. D 190 Song rubbings are housed in the Palace Museum now. 15. How does Wang Xudong feel about the exhibition? A. Proud. B. Shocked. C. Thankful. D. Worried. 16. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A brochure. C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A section of a newspaper. 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。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you’re in good company.
