When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world. How did Craig start? In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools are free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but to work. Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and his friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live better. He believed that the children who couldn’t pay for school could change their lives through studying. Today, Craig’s group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and brings people many good things. It helps build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. 6. When did Craig start a group to help kids? A. At the age of six. B. At the age of seven. C. At the age of ten. D. At the age of twelve. 7. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. A. schools in Craig’s country are free for everyone B. many children in Craig’s country are asked to go to work C. there are more rich families than poor ones in Craig’s country D. if kids in Craig’s country don’t go to school, this will break the laws 8. What does the underlined word “poverty” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Happiness. B. Illness. C. Poorness. D. Business. 9. Which picture shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 10. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Free the Children B. Craig and His Friends C. Craig and a Little Boy D. Poor Kids in the World 【答案】6. D 7. D 8. C 9. A 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了克雷格·基尔伯格在12岁时创立了一个帮助全世界孩子的组织“Free the Children”，以及该组织的发展和所取得的成就。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world.”可知，克雷格在12岁时创立了一个帮助全世界孩子的组织。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools are free for all kids.”和“But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but to work.”可知，克雷格所在国家的法律规定，孩子必须上学，学校对所有孩子都是免费的。如果孩子不去上学，就会违反法律。故选D。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but to work.”和“Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live better.”可知，有些国家孩子上学需要支付费用，所以贫困家庭的孩子不能上学，只能去工作。克雷格希望学习能帮助贫困地区的孩子生活得更好。由此可推知，poverty意为“贫困”，与poorness意思相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段引出主题，介绍克雷格·基尔伯格在12岁时创立了一个帮助全世界孩子的组织；第二段和第三段介绍了克雷格创立该组织的起因和目的；第四段介绍了该组织的发展和所取得的成就。选项A符合文章结构。故选A。 【10题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools.”可知，本文主要介绍了克雷格·基尔伯格创立的“Free the Children”组织，以及该组织的发展和所取得的成就。因此，选项A“Free the Children”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C Have you ever played the erhu?

Tian Wangui,70, and his wife Lu Min, are villagers in Qiantian Village. They wanted to plant fruit trees to make a living. In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains. At first, the couple planted some fruit trees on part of the land. In order to water the trees, they had to carry water up to the top of the mountains by themselves. But there was little land that could be used for planting fruit trees. Looking at the “lonely” fruit trees, the couple came up with a new idea—plant more trees. When spring came, they bought some tree saplings (树苗) and planted them on the mountains. In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains. Now the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees. More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully. The job of the couple has also changed, from planting trees to patrolling (巡逻) the mountains. “We love the mountains and trees. We regard them as our own children,” said Lu. “Even though we grow old, our children will continue to protect the mountains.” 16. What did the couple plan to do on the two mountains at first? A. To plant flowers. B. To plant fruit trees. C. To plant trees and grass. D. To make a home for birds. 17. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A. the couple met some difficulties B. several kinds of trees were expensive C. the soil was right for planting all the trees D. the couple couldn’t adapt to the life on the mountains 18. What does the underlined word “arise” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Work. B. Die. C. Appear. D. Walk. 19. The passage is written in order of ________. A. space B. time C. persons D. opinions 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Many Birds B. The Dream of Poor Villagers C. The New Idea of Planting Trees D. The Changes of Two Poor Mountains 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了辽宁省的一对夫妇田万贵和卢敏花费近半个世纪将两座贫瘠的山变成鸟类的家园的故事。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains.”可知，这对夫妇一开始计划在两座山上种果树。故选B。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains.”可知，一开始，许多种子因为不适应山上的土壤而无法生长，但是这对夫妇没有放弃，经过多次尝试，他们发现了几种足够强壮、能在贫瘠的山上生长的树，由此可知这对夫妇遇到了一些困难。故选A。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully.”可知，每年有超过2000只鸟从其他地方来到这里，平静地生活在这里，由此可推测每年有超过2000只鸟出现在这座山上，所以arise意为“出现”。故选C。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains.”以及“When spring came...”以及“Now, the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees.”可知，文章按照时间顺序进行叙述。故选B。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一对夫妇花费近半个世纪将两座贫瘠的山变成鸟类的家园的故事，因此选项D“两座贫瘠之山的变化”是本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节 语篇还原 （共5小题，计5分） What Makes A Movie A Hit? ____21____ Some stars have fans who will go and see any movie they are in.

When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world. How did Craig start? In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools are free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but to work. Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and his friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live better. He believed that the children who couldn’t pay for school could change their lives through studying. Today, Craig’s group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong.

Special Study Experiences D In Liaoning Province, a couple spent nearly half a century turning two poor mountains into a home for birds. Tian Wangui,70, and his wife Lu Min, are villagers in Qiantian Village. They wanted to plant fruit trees to make a living. In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains. At first the couple planted some fruit trees on part of the land. In order to water the trees, they had to carry water up to the top of the mountains by themselves. But there was little land that could be used for planting fruit trees. Looking at the “lonely” fruit trees, the couple came up with a new idea—plant more trees. When spring came, they bought some tree saplings (树苗) and planted them on the mountains. In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains. Now, the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees. More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully. The job of the couple has also changed, from planting trees to patrolling (巡逻) the mountains. “We love the mountains and trees. We regard them as our own children,” said Lu. “Even though we grow old, our children will continue to protect the mountains.” 16. What did the couple plan to do on the two mountains at first? A. To plant flowers. B. To plant fruit trees. C. To plant trees and grass. D. To make a home for birds. 17. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A. the couple met some difficulties B. several kinds of trees were expensive C. the soil was right for planting all the trees D. the couple couldn’t adapt to the life on the mountains 18. What does the underlined word “arise” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Work. B. Die. C. Appear. D. Walk. 19. The passage is written in order of ________. A. space B. time C. persons D. opinions 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Many Birds B. The Dream of Poor Villagers C. The New Idea of Planting Trees D.

Today we can get news from TV or the Internet, but how did ancient people get news? At the very beginning, information spread by word of mouth. People living in tribes (部落) got news from neighbors or travelers. Ancient Romans changed the way people knew about their communities. They posted a list of daily happenings at public squares in the cities. Ancient Chinese people did it in another way. The government had news sheets sent to officials in the whole country so people could know what was going on in the capital. The fifteenth century saw big progress in printing technology in the West. The progress brought a sudden rise of news business. Printers sold whatever people loved to read. In the sixteenth century, the first real newspapers appeared. People started to form the habit of reading newspapers. They liked to share their opinions in newspapers. The invention of telegraph (电报) machines led to another big step in history. News stories were sent to the papers in minutes instead of weeks. Now we get news in seconds from all over the world. We can become some kind of reporters by posting online what happens around us. 46. From whom did people living in tribes get news? ___________________________________________ 47.
