Last July 26, at around 11 p. m., an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Callie Clemens’ eye. A tiny black puppy had been spotted running across a road in Spring Branch. Howls had been heard from inside a nearby drain, so there was likely one puppy stuck down there.
Clemens drove to the scene. Once there, she heard desperate cries from underground echoing through the pipes. She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”
After lowering herself roughly 7 feet down the drain, Clemens crawled through a tunnel before reaching an area where she could crouch and search. “I heard splashing.” Clemens says. She pointed her flashlight and saw “two sets of eyes looking at me”. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, workers from the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived and joined Clemens in the drain. They worked until 3 a. m., trying to track down the dogs. But they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen.
Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.” She went home for a few hours of sleep, then went straight back to the drain, joined by several volunteers, including a local engineer who drew a map of the drain system.
After several hours of searching, they finally found one tiny black pup. However, one dog was still left underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times to look for it, even leaving food, some of which had been eaten. But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.
4 Why did Callie Clemens drive to the scene?
A. To save a puppy. B. To explore a tunnel.
C. To control a noise. D. To fix a pipe.
5. What made Callie Clemens decide to go into the drain again?
A. The interest in drain system. B. The encouragement from workers.
C. Her sympathy for animals. D. Her curiosity about the puppies.
6. What convinced her that the other dog escaped?
A. The untouched food. B. The hand- drawn map.
C. The disappearance of barks. D. The message from volunteers.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Callie Clemens?
A. Kind and determined. B. Brave and demanding.
C. Smart and encouraging. D. Honest and adventurous.
C
The launch of a tool to record a vanishing Greek dialect drew attention back this week to one of the great extinctions of the modern world: nine languages are believed to be disappearing every year. Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, separated from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form. For linguists, it is a“ living bridge” to the ancient Greek world, the loss of which would clearly be a blow.
But some languages are in even bigger trouble, with 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in distinct colours, with a language stripes chart, devised to illustrate the accelerating decline in each decade between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.
The history of languages has always been linked to colonialism (殖民主义) and political persecution (迫害), which scatter populations as well as controlling them. The Endangered Languages Alliance (ELA) has tracked down and mapped hundreds of dying languages in New York, which is an unexpected discovery. These dialects are supposed to be found in remote rural areas. Among ELA’s more shocking discoveries is that, of 700 surviving speakers of Seke, which originated in a cluster of mountain villages in Nepal, more than 150 can be traced to two apartment buildings in Brooklyn district of New York.
From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous (土著的) peoples, the ways in which people express themselves hide secret messages about ancient ways of living in nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. By simply honouring their existence, linguists play an important role. Ken Hale, an activist who is strongly for preserving endangered languages famously argued that losing any language was “like dropping a bomb on the Louvre”.
8. What does “Romeyka” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. An extinct ancient Greek language.
B. A language with very few written words.
C. A disappearing dialect related to ancient Greek.
D. A popular dialect loved by the young generation.
9. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the importance of the dialects. B. To conclude the diversity of the dialects.
C. To explain different ways to protect dialects. D. To illustrate the tendency of fast dying dialects.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Seke is a place in the mountains of Nepal.
B. People assume fewer dialects exist in big cities.
C. Nepal and New York were twin cities many years ago.
D. ELA is not surprised to trace an original Nepal dialect to Brooklyn.
11. What does Ken Hale’s quote mean?
A. The extinction of a dialect is a great loss.
B. Bombing Louver is a disaster to any language.
C. Ancient ways of living are kept secret in Louvre.
D. Languages are to survive simply by honoring them.
D
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole,Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
12. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’ new book
C. remind the reader of the importance of science
D. explain why many writers use science in their works
13. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A. Its strong basis.
B. Its convincing points.
C. Its clear writing.
D. Its memorable characters.
14. What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A. Contradictory.
B Supportive.
C. Cautious.
D. Critical.
15. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Problems with the book.
B. Brooks’s life experience.
C. Death of the characters.
D. Brooks’s translation skills.

A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother---loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids?” “What?! Oh, Gosh…I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

细节理解题。根据小标题Adelphi Theatre下的“The Adelphi Theatre opened its doors in December 1930 and is one of London’s famous West End theatres. Located in the centre of the Strand, it’s a specialist in musical theatre showing performances such as Kinky Boots,Chicago, Sweeney Todd and Evita.(阿德尔菲剧院于1930年12月开业,是伦敦著名的西区剧院之一。它位于斯特兰德大街的中心,是一家专门演出音乐剧的剧院,演出的剧目有《怪癖靴》《芝加哥》《理发师陶德》和《艾薇塔》)”可知,如果你对音乐剧感兴趣,应该去Adelphi Theatre,它的号码是020 7087 7966。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Officially opened in 1963,he National Theatre is the largest public theatre in London.(国家大剧院于1963年正式开放,是伦敦最大的公共剧院)”;“The Adelphi Theatre opened its doors in December 1930 and is one of London’s famous West End theatres.(阿德尔菲剧院于1930年12月开业,是伦敦著名的西区剧院之一)”;“For over 200 years, it has been known as a centrepiece of the London theatre for local people, receiving many personnel that went on to form the National Theatre. (200多年来,它一直被当地人称为伦敦剧院的中心,接待了许多后来形成国家大剧院的人员)”以及“The Savoy dates back to 1881 as a theatre for the production of a number of Gilbert and Sullivan shows.(萨沃伊剧院的历史可以追溯到1881年,当时它是吉尔伯特和沙利文的一些戏剧的演出场所)”可知The Old Vic是最古老的,其他剧院都未超过200多年。故选C项。
B
Last July 26, at around 11 p. m., an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Callie Clemens’ eye. A tiny black puppy had been spotted running across a road in Spring Branch. Howls had been heard from inside a nearby drain, so there was likely one puppy stuck down there.
Clemens drove to the scene. Once there, she heard desperate cries from underground echoing through the pipes. She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”
After lowering herself roughly 7 feet down the drain, Clemens crawled through a tunnel before reaching an area where she could crouch and search. “I heard splashing.” Clemens says. She pointed her flashlight and saw “two sets of eyes looking at me”. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, workers from the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived and joined Clemens in the drain. They worked until 3 a. m., trying to track down the dogs. But they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen.
Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.” She went home for a few hours of sleep, then went straight back to the drain, joined by several volunteers, including a local engineer who drew a map of the drain system.
After several hours of searching, they finally found one tiny black pup. However, one dog was still left underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times to look for it, even leaving food, some of which had been eaten. But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.
4. Why did Callie Clemens drive to the scene?
A. To save a puppy. B. To explore a tunnel.
C. To control a noise. D. To fix a pipe.
5. What made Callie Clemens decide to go into the drain again?
A. The interest in drain system. B. The encouragement from workers.
C. Her sympathy for animals. D. Her curiosity about the puppies.
6. What convinced her that the other dog escaped?
A. The untouched food. B. The hand- drawn map.
C. The disappearance of barks. D. The message from volunteers.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Callie Clemens?
A. Kind and determined. B. Brave and demanding.
C. Smart and encouraging. D. Honest and adventurous.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A

She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”(克莱门斯开车去了现场。一到那里,她就听到从地下传来的绝望的呼喊声回荡在管道里。她从车里抓起手电筒,下了车。“我没想到会掉进下水道,”克莱门斯说。但是小狗在下面。“总得有人去做。”)”可知,她开车前往的目的是为了拯救小狗。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.”(克莱门斯并不打算放弃。虽然冒险进入排水沟是可怕的,但克莱门斯说:“知道我把一只动物留在那里挨饿受苦,我永远不会同意。”)”可知,出于对小狗的同情心让凯丽·克莱门斯决定再次跳进下水道。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.(但克莱门斯不再听到狗的嚎叫,这让她确信小狗找到了出路)”可知,是因为狗叫声停止了,所以凯丽·克莱门斯确信被困的小狗已经逃出。故选C。

C
The launch of a tool to record a vanishing Greek dialect drew attention back this week to one of the great extinctions of the modern world: nine languages are believed to be disappearing every year. Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, separated from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form. For linguists, it is a“ living bridge” to the ancient Greek world, the loss of which would clearly be a blow.
But some languages are in even bigger trouble, with 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in distinct colours, with a language stripes chart, devised to illustrate the accelerating decline in each decade between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.
The history of languages has always been linked to colonialism (殖民主义) and political persecution (迫害), which scatter populations as well as controlling them. The Endangered Languages Alliance (ELA) has tracked down and mapped hundreds of dying languages in New York, which is an unexpected discovery. These dialects are supposed to be found in remote rural areas. Among ELA’s more shocking discoveries is that, of 700 surviving speakers of Seke, which originated in a cluster of mountain villages in Nepal, more than 150 can be traced to two apartment buildings in Brooklyn district of New York.
From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous (土著的) peoples, the ways in which people express themselves hide secret messages about ancient ways of living in nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. By simply honouring their existence, linguists play an important role. Ken Hale, an activist who is strongly for preserving endangered languages famously argued that losing any language was “like dropping a bomb on the Louvre”.
8. What does “Romeyka” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. An extinct ancient Greek language.
B. A language with very few written words.
C. A disappearing dialect related to ancient Greek.
D. A popular dialect loved by the young generation.
9. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the importance of the dialects. B. To conclude the diversity of the dialects.
C To explain different ways to protect dialects. D. To illustrate the tendency of fast dying dialects.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Seke is a place in the mountains of Nepal.
B. People assume fewer dialects exist in big cities.
C. Nepal and New York were twin cities many years ago.
D. ELA is not surprised to trace an original Nepal dialect to Brooklyn.
11. What does Ken Hale’s quote mean?
A. The extinction of a dialect is a great loss.
B. Bombing Louver is a disaster to any language.
C. Ancient ways of living are kept secret in Louvre.
D. Languages are to survive simply by honoring them.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了全球濒危语言的现状及保护它们的重要性。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, separated from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form. For linguists, it is a“ living bridge” to the ancient Greek world, the loss of which would clearly be a blow.(是由土耳其黑海沿岸山区村落中几千名老年人口使用的语言,与现代希腊语分离了几千年。它没有书面形式。对于语言学家来说,它是通往古希腊世界的“活桥梁”,失去它显然是一个打击。)”可知,Romeyka是一种与现代希腊语分离了几千年的方言,没有书面形式,对于语言学家来说,它是通往古希腊世界的“活桥梁”,失去它显然是一个打击。因此,Romeyka指的是一种正在消失的与古希腊有关的方言。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But some languages are in even bigger trouble, with 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in distinct colours, with a language stripes chart, devised to illustrate the accelerating decline in each decade between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.(但是有些语言面临着更大的麻烦,有350种语言的母语使用者不到50人,有46种语言的母语使用者只有1人。澳大利亚和英国机构之间的合作以不同的颜色描绘了这种情况,并设计了一张语言条纹图,以说明从1700年到今天,每个十年间都在加速下降的趋势。该图的作者预测,到2150年,世界上7000种语言中将有50%至90%灭绝。即使现在,地球上也有一半人只使用这24种语言。)”可知,使用数字是为了说明方言快速消亡的趋势。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“These dialects are supposed to be found in remote rural areas. Among ELA’s more shocking discoveries is that, of 700 surviving speakers of Seke, which originated in a cluster of mountain villages in Nepal, more than 150 can be traced to two apartment buildings in Brooklyn district of New York.(这些方言本应出现在偏远的农村地区。ELA更惊人的发现之一是,尼泊尔一群山村中起源的塞克语(Seke)有700名幸存者,其中一半以上的人住在纽约市,他们中的许多人甚至不知道自己是说这种语言的人。)”可知人们认为这些方言应该存在于偏远的农村地区,但令人震惊的是,在纽约布鲁克林区的两栋公寓大楼里,可以找到700名幸存的Seke方言使用者中的150多人。这表明人们认为大城市中方言的数量较少,但实际上并非如此。故选B。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Ken Hale, an activist who is strongly for preserving endangered languages famously argued that losing any language was “like dropping a bomb on the Louvre”.( 以积极保护濒危语言而闻名的肯·黑尔(Ken Hale)曾激烈地表示,失去任何一种语言“就像是在卢浮宫投下一颗炸弹”。)”可知,Ken Hale的引用“losing any language was ‘like dropping a bomb on the Louvre’”意味着失去任何一种语言都是巨大的损失,就像对卢浮宫投下炸弹一样。因此,A选项“方言的灭绝是巨大的损失”是正确的解释。故选A。
D
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole,Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
12. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’ new book
C. remind the reader of the importance of science
D. explain why many writers use science in their works
13. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A. Its strong basis.
B. Its convincing points.
C. Its clear writing.
D. Its memorable characters.
14. What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A. Contradictory.
B. Supportive.
C. Cautious.
D. Critical.
15. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Problems with the book.
B. Brooks’s life experience.
C. Death of the characters.
D. Brooks’s translation skills.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,是一则书评,作者介绍了David Brooks的书The Social Animal,并告诉我们在这本书中他如何运用科学方面的知识来阐述他的故事,并指出这本书的优点和不足。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.(科学有很多用途。它可以揭示自然规律,治疗疾病,制造炸弹,帮助桥梁建立起来。事实上,科学是如此擅长它所做的事情,以至于总是有一种诱惑把它拖入可能没有帮助的问题中。大卫·布鲁克斯是《社会动物:爱、性格和成就的隐藏来源》一书的作者,他似乎是众多作家中最新一个未能抵制住诱惑的人)”可推知,作者在文章的开头提到了科学的功能来解释为什么许多作家在他们的作品中使用科学。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest.(正如人们所料,他的写作大部分是清晰的,公平地说,有些章节比其他章节突出)”可知,作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.(比如,我很喜欢Harold发现如何独立思考的那一章。虽然Harold和Erica肯定不是坚强或令人难忘的角色,但The Social Animal更严重的问题还在别处。这些问题在一定程度上与Brooks试图将他的故事转化为科学有关)”可知,连接词while之前是这本书的优势,其后作者指出了其不足。由此推知,作者对这部书持批判的态度。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.

【点睛】推理判断题的常见考查形式及解题方法:
推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存,推理是为了作出正确的判断,正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,作出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
一、常见的推理判断题的考法:
1)推测作者写作目的或意图。
2)推测文章的观点或结论。文章第3小题最后一段中的链接词while之前是这本书的优势,其后作者指出了其不足。因此作者对这部书持批判的态度。故选D项。
3)推断文章出处。
4)是非判断题。
5)逻辑排序题。
二、推理判断题的解题方法 :
推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系,结合自己的生活常识和经验,再通过逻辑推理和判断,理解文章的言外之意,从而揭示文章的深层涵义。任何一篇文章都有其特定的写作目的,读者应当知道如何去做或按照某种方式传递思考问题。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到,因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文,在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据,即:已知部分-推论的前提,从中推测出未知部分-推理的结论,切忌妄加评论,把自己的观点当成作者的观点。第2小题根据最后一段中“As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest.(正如人们所料,他的写作大部分是清晰的,公平地说,有些章节比其他章节突出)”可知作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选C项。4小题文章最后一段中连接词while后面部分开始谈论这本书存在的问题。因此作者紧接着应该还是在写这本的不足。故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother---loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids?” “What?! Oh, Gosh…I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已为你写好;
4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us. ______________
Paragraph 2:
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. ______________
【答案】The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us. Thinking of this tent, Mom suggested that we go camping in the next village in excitement, with her eyes glittering. Considering her enthusiasm, we all agreed. When the door of our car opened, Mom stormed out instantly and urged us to put up the tent. David and I were asked to pick up some branches to build a fire. And when we came back, Dad and Mom had already lain down the grass comfortably in front of the tent, talking merrily with a local boy at our age, who kept glancing at this tent curiously. Soon we learnt that the boy in rags even didn’t have a home to live in. Of course, Mom “forgot” to take this tent with us again.
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. And we also had a nice time living with my grandparents during that trip. But what impressed me most was that tent, which was forgotten deliberately by Mom. Though she did love going camping, she presented that poor boy with this tent out of sympathy. It was Mom that made my childhood colorful. And it was also she that showed me the true meaning of giving.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。短文叙述了作者的母亲很健忘,一家四口自驾旅游去祖父母所居住的地方,途中发生了有趣的事情。
【详解】首先,根据文章当中第二段内容比较开心的基调,第一段的故事情节应该比较偏向正面感情色彩,例如:我们在露营过程中一起搭建帐篷的开心时光或露营过程中的趣事(尤其是前文有铺垫妈妈是个forgetful的人,这一点也可以埋下伏笔来表达后面过程中由于妈妈健忘而带来的趣事)(也有同学在此处描述了露营过程中对其他陌生人提供帮助,来集中体现nice这一个点);
其次,第二段开头说来描述欣赏风景: 此处可以用一些描述景色环境的表达来烘托下氛围,但是第二段不能仅仅只能有景色描述;例如:这里可以实写和虚写结合的方式,看到景色(同时回忆往事),最终把故事的落脚点放在“家人的感情”“亲情”“生活的乐趣”“与妈妈一起的趣事”等等角度都可以的;当然也有同学描述与陌生人的相遇,引出了陌生人的善意这个主题;总之这次的话题比较开放,情节可以写的角度比较多;
再次,除了情节方面的内容以外,以下几个方面是考生需要着重关注的得分点:字迹清晰程度,语法多样性和句式丰富性,衔接成分的使用,语言的场景恰当程度;高考英语写作中,考生所采用的句型结构一定程度上影响了老师对考生写作水平的判断;说到语法丰富性方面,例如在作文中用到从句结构、强调句、非谓语结构等。尤其应该注意的是:避免句型单一化,如通篇使用定语从句,这样反而使阅卷老师觉得该考生对句型掌握的不够充分。应该在文章写作中有意识地多使用不同的句型结构。
【点睛】文章思路清晰,语言规范,段落整齐,语篇连贯,层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式: 虚 拟 语 气 和 with 复 合 结 构 Mom suggested that we go camping in the next village in excitement, with her eyes glittering. Considering her enthusiasm, we all agreed. what引导的主语从句和which引导的非限制性定语从句But what impressed me most was that tent, which was forgotten deliberately by Mom.
高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次,整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
