I was quite angry with my professor last week when he gave us an assignment to “tell someone we love them”. It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time.
But as I began driving home my conscience(良心) started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.
So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife.
At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.” My dad responded with a_grumpy_face,_“Now what?” I assured him it wouldn't take long, so he finally agreed.
At 5:30, I was at my parents' house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. Dad did answer the door. I didn't waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son.” Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.
Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious(昏迷的). I don't know if he'll make it. What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者很庆幸向父亲表达他的爱的故事。

5.What does the underlined phrase “a grumpy face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important ” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse(一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where_we_are_today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being openminded to the evolution of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic(具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight(洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance(无知). We're scared of the things that we don't understand.History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England.It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.
The value of history cannot be underestimated.We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。 主要介绍了学习历史的意义。
8.The underlined part “where we are today” in Para.2 probably means ________.
A.the turning point in our history
B.the present state of our nation
C.the location of our homeland
D.the total area of our country
解析:B 词句猜测题。 根据第二段的“...learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse(一瞥) into our ancestral pasts,(学习祖国的历史可以让我们更深刻、更有意义地了解我们祖先的过去,)”可知,学习我们祖国的历史能更深刻、更有意义地了解我们祖先的过去。此处指学历史着眼于大局,是从国家层面讲的,与之一致,由today可推知画线的“where we are today”指的是“我们国家的现状”。故选B。
9.What can be concluded from Para.4?
A.It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers.
B.People are willing to accept foreign cultures.
C.Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore.
D.History helps us improve our crosscultural awareness.
解析:D 细节理解题。 根据第四段中“It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures.(它也为跨文化的同理心提供了一个相当坚实的基础。)”和“History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.(历史有可能打破这些界限,让我们深入了解整个世界,否则这些世界对我们来说是陌生的。)”可知,历史帮助我们提高跨文化意识。故选D。
10.With the example in Para.5, the writer intends to show that________.
A.Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature
B.Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poets
C.reading novels is a way to learn about a historical period
D.studying history can arouse people's interest in other fields
解析:D 推理判断题。 根据第五段的“History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts.(历史可以激励我们学习更多。历史的奇妙之处在于它能开阔我们的视野。要了解一个历史时期,如果没有几十个相关概念的问题,几乎是不可能的。)”和“Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England.(或者你最终会把注意力从小说上转移开,去发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。)”可知,通过第5段中的例子,作者意在说明学习历史可以唤起人们对其他领域的兴趣。故选D。
11.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Build Cultural Identity
B.Why Studying History Matters
C.Know the Past, Know the Present
D.History: a Way to Broaden Horizons
解析:B 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“If you're studying history, asking yourself the question ‘why is history important’ is a very good first step.(如果你正在学习历史,问自己“历史为什么重要”是很好的第一步。)”,第二段的“History grounds us in our roots.(历史为我们奠定了根基。)”,第三段的“History enriches our experience.(历史丰富我们的经验。)”,第四段的“History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的).(历史让我们更有同理心。)”,第五段的“History can inspire us to learn more.(历史可以激励我们学习更多。)”和最后一段的“The value of history cannot be underestimated.We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.(历史的价值不容低估。我们不必活在过去,但我们一定可以从中吸取教训,过更有意义的生活,从而做得更好。)”可知,本文开头提出问题为什么历史重要。 然后分四方面论述学历史的好处,最后总结扣题说明学历史的意义——历史的价值不可低估,通过从中学习,并利用学到的教训过更有意义的生活,因此本文最好的题目是B选项“Why Studying History Matters(为什么学习历史很重要)”可作为最好的标题,故选B。
D
Students perform less well in final exams if smartphones are allowed in class, for nonacademic (非学业的) purposes in lectures, a new study in Educational Psychology finds. Students who don't use smartphones themselves but attend lectures where their use is acceptable also do worse, suggesting that smartphone use damages the group learning environment.
Researchers from Rutgers University in the US performed an inclass experiment to test whether dividing attention between smartphones and the lecturer during the class affected students' performance in withinlecture tests and a final exam. 118 students at Rutgers University took part in the experiment during one term of their course. Smartphones were not allowed in half of the lectures and allowed in the other half. When smartphones were allowed, students were asked to record whether they had used them for nonacademic purposes during the lecture.
The study found that having a smartphone didn't lower students' scores in comprehension tests within lectures, but it did lower scores in the final exam by at least 5%, or half a grade. This finding shows for the first time that the main effect of divided attention in the classroom is on the length of time in keeping memory, with fewer things of a study task later remembered.In addition, when the use of smartphones was allowed in class, performance was also poorer for students who did not use them as well as for those who did.
The study's lead author, Professor Arnold Glass, added: “These findings should alarm students and teachers that dividing attention is having a not obvious but harmful effect that is damaging their exam performance and final grade. To help manage the use of smartphones in the classroom, teachers should explain to students the alarming effect—not only for themselves, but for the whole class.”
This is the firstever study in an actual classroom showing a relationship between losing attention from smartphones and exam performance. However, more researches are required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。美国罗格斯大学的一项实验发现课堂上允许携带智能手机会影响学生的学习成绩。
12.What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To present the main findings of the experiment.
B.To explain how the experiment was carried out.
C.To give details about the result of the experiment.
D.To suggest what should be done for teachers and students.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Students perform less well in final exams if smartphones are allowed in class, for nonacademic purposes in lectures, a new study in Educational Psychology finds.”可知,教育心理学的一项新的研究发现,如果在课堂上允许(学生)因为非学术性的原因使用手机,学生期末考试中的表现要差一些。这是这项实验的主要发现,A项符合。第一段没有涉及到实验是如何进行的,也没有提到对老师和学生有什么建议,排除B和D项;第一段的实验结果不是很详细,排除C项。故选A项。
13.We know from the experiment that having a smartphone in class ________.
A.had no bad effect if students do not use them
B.caused an average 5% drop in students' scores
C.made it harder for students to keep things in mind
D.had a bad effect on students' performance in all tests
解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“...but it did lower scores in the final exam by at least 5%,”可知,上课有智能手机的学生的期末成绩至少而不是平均下降了5%,这是有害的影响,排除A项和B项。根据“The study found that having a smartphone didn't lower students' scores in comprehension tests within lectures,”可知,学生在课堂上的理解测试成绩没有降低,故排除D项。根据第三段“This finding shows for the first time that the main effect of divided attention in the classroom is on the length of time in keeping memory, with fewer things of a study task later remembered.”可知,(手机)在课堂上分散注意力,这种情况的主要影响在于(它影响学生)记忆的时间长短,学生记住的学习任务也更少,也就是学生更难记住东西,故选C项。
14.What's Professor Glass' attitude towards using smartphones in class?
A.He was against it.
B.He was in favor of it.
C.He cared little about it.
D He doubted the findings.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“These findings should alarm students and teachers that dividing attention is having a not obvious but harmful effect that is damaging...to students the alarming effectnot only for themselves, but for the whole class.”可知,Professor Glass认为这项实验的发现应该给学生和老师敲响警铃,他说注意力分散会产生不明显但有害的影响,会损害他们的考试成绩和最终成绩。老师们应该向学生们解释在课堂上使用手机的后果。由此可见Professor Glass认为在课堂上使用手机是有害的,他对此持反对态度。故选A项。
15.What is the research team likely to do next?
A.To find out ways to improve students' memory.
B.To call on schools to ban smartphones completely.
C.To study the influence of using smartphones after class.
D.To do researches on focusing attention in actual classrooms.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, more researches are required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.”可知,作者认为还需要更多的研究来了解学生们放学后使用智能手机的影响。所以研究团队下一步可能会研究学生们放学后使用智能手机的影响,故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
Benefits You Will Have If You Go
to Bed an Hour Earlier
•You'll be thinner
In a study, researchers found that adults with late bedtimes gained more weight than those who hit the bed earlier. Why? Your sleepy brain is more likely to want fatty, highcalorie snacks in the late hours of night. __16__, you'll avoid a late night overeating and fat storage.
•__17__
Getting more sleep makes your immune(免疫的) system work better. As you sleep, your immune system releases proteins, which can protect you from disease; without sleep, your body isn't getting the energy it needs to fight off disease.
•You'll be more productive
__18__. In fact, one study found that people performed 30 percent better on a puzzle by day after waking up from a deep sleep than from light one. Sleep is necessary for helping people solve difficult problems, too. Sleeping earlier by just one hour can give you a competitive advantage at work. __19__.
•You could live longer
Getting more shuteye can add years to your life by decreasing your risk of a number of diseases in old age. Studies have shown that adults who habitually sleep less than six and a half hours per night are easier to get heart disease, and high blood pressure,__20__, an earlier bedtime can be a huge plus for your life length.
A.If you go to bed earlier
B.You'll get sick less often
C.You could have a healthy eating habit
D.That can make you more successful at your job
E.Sleeping later in the evening can ruin your workday
F.Even if you have a healthy diet and regular gym time

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了每天早睡一小时的四项好处。
16.A 根据下文“...you'll avoid a late night overeating and fat storage.”(你就会避免深夜暴饮暴食和脂肪堆积。)是上文“Why? Your sleepy brain is more likely to want fatty, highcalorie snacks in the late hours of night.”(为什么?在深夜,你昏昏欲睡的大脑更有可能想吃高脂肪、高热量的零食。)相反的结果,所以空处应填的是与上文情形相反的假设,而A项“If you go to bed earlier”(如果你早点睡觉)正是上文晚睡相反的情形,故选A。
17.B 根据整篇结构分析空格处属于标题句,再结合选项与前后两个标题句结构相一致的只有B项和C项,下文“Getting more sleep makes your immune (免疫的) system work better.”(获得更多的睡眠会使你的免疫系统更好的工作。)提到的是使你的免疫系统更好的工作与B项“You'll get sick less often”(你会少生病)前后照应,故选B。
18.E 上文标题 “You'll be more productive”(你会更有效率),而E项“Sleeping later in the evening can ruin your workday.”(晚上睡得太晚会毁了你的工作日。)是对标题的反面照应;下文 “In fact, one study found that people performed 30 percent better on a puzzle by day after waking up from a deep sleep than from light one.”(事实上,一项研究发现,人们从深度睡眠中醒来后,白天做拼图的表现比从轻度睡眠中醒来时要好30%。)对E项的进一步例证,前后一致,故选E。
19.D 上文“Sleeping earlier by just one hour can give you a competitive advantage at work.”(早睡一个小时可以给你在工作中一个竞争优势。)说明了早睡一个小时的好处与D项“That can make you more successful at your job.”(这会让你在工作上更成功。)前后照应,故选D。
20.F 上文“Studies have shown that adults who habitually sleep less than six and a half hours per night are easier to get heart disease, and high blood pressure,”(研究表明,习惯每晚睡眠少于6个半小时的成年人更容易患心脏病和高血压,)而F项“Even if you have a healthy diet and regular gym time”(即使你有健康的饮食和规律的锻炼时间)与上文语义上构成让步关系同时也能更加突出下文“...an earlier bedtime can be a huge plus for your life length.”(早睡也会为你的寿命大大增加。)照应主题,故选F。

【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和丈夫去看望作者的父母,在快餐店聚餐一位女士主动让座位的故事。
36.to 考查介词。句意:我和丈夫去拜访我在图森的父母。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语pay a visit to“拜访,参观”,满足句意要求。故填to。
37.to order 考查动词不定式。句意:我丈夫去柜台点菜,我和父母站在一起。分析句子可知,该句已经有谓语动词went,因此用动词不定式表示目的,作目的状语。故填to order。
38.waiting 考查现在分词。句意:我扫视着餐厅,等着坐在第一张比其他桌子更方便的桌子旁。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,wait与逻辑主语I为主动关系,所以为现在分词作伴随状语。故填waiting。
39.more convenient 考查形容词比较级。句意:我扫视着餐厅,等着坐在第一张比其他桌子更方便的桌子旁。根据该句中的than others可知,此处为形容词比较级形式。故填more convenient。
40.puzzled 考查形容词。句意:我一脸疑惑地指着自己说:“我?”。look是名词,应该用形容词来修饰,修饰人的表情,表示“困惑的”用puzzled。故填puzzled。
41.nodded 考查动词时态。句意:她点点头说:“是的,就是你。”根据上文的时态以及and后的said可知,此处应填过去时。故填nodded。
42.a 考查冠词。句意:反正我儿子也急着要走。in a hurry是固定搭配,意为“匆忙,赶快”,满足句意要求。故填a 。
43.were filled 考查动词时态和语态。句意:当她擦桌子,把爸爸领到座位上时,我眼里充满了泪水。be filled with意为“充满着”,是固定搭配,全文讲述的是已发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were filled。
44.naturally 考查副词。句意:我一直相信这个世界上有天生善良的人。由副词修饰形容词可知,此处为副词naturally修饰形容词kind。故填naturally。
45.who 考查定语从句。句意:这个女人给她的儿子树立了一个好榜样,他真是个幸运的家伙。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是her son,从句缺少主语,应用关系代词who。故填who。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
“Hey!” the voice called from behind me. “Are you a girl or a duck?” I ignored the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp(跛行) to become even more apparent(明显). Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I took my place in the first row of desks and I was thankful for alphabetic seating(按字母顺序排列座位). My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy's last name came at the end of it. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her comments, they would wave it off and tell me to ignore her.
Still, I hated that I didn't walk like everyone else. I didn't like not being able to run as fast or as straight as the other kids and I didn't like getting picked last for teams in gym class. Mostly, though, I really hated it when people like Betsy made negative comments about how I walked.
One day, our teacher asked us to change seats. “Class,” our teacher addressed us one morning, “you've been in the same seats for a full term and you've become friendly with the students around you. Now it's time to change seats and make some new friends.” The class let out a collective moan(集体抱怨). As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called.We didn't want to be separated.And we especially didn't want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.
I knew this wasn't going to be good and I soon discovered I was right. Betsy often leaned(倚靠)into my back, “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. When that didn't work, she poked(戳) me. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.

Paragraph 1:
My_mother_sat_me_down_and_began_to_talk. “Look,” she held my hand “there will always be mean people like Betsy in this world.That is hard to change. But you can change the way you cope with them. Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Treat them with kindness’?” I shook my head.“It's simple. Just show your kindness to the girl now and then. If she drops her pen, pick it up and hand it to her. Things like that. Just be nice to her.”
Paragraph 2:
Then_one_day_I_did_what_my_mother_taught_me_and_amazing_things_happened.Our teacher announced seriously that there would be an exam the next morning. As Betsy was not good at study, I offered to help her review. Betsy was surprised but grateful. She said shyly, “You're so nice. I truly regret making those rude remarks on you. Can we be friends?” I was glad that I had followed my mom's advice. It was just what I needed.And probably just what Betsy needed, too.
