Waiting for the bus every morning and going to school has never been better for Ryder Killam, a 5-year-old boy in a wheelchair from Westerly, Rhode Island, who was born with disability. He no longer has to wait for the school bus in the open air thanks to Westerly High School students.
The goal of the boy’s father, Tim Killam, was to keep his little kid protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, and getting some kind of shelter (避雨处) was actually his idea. He asked for an unused bus shelter on Facebook. After not being able to find a suitable one, he decided to contact the high school which had already finished several building projects.
The students from Westerly High School construction (建造) class, among whom is one of Ryder’s brothers, quickly put their hands to work. The bus stop was designed by pupil Mason Heald, who was in regular contact with the Killams for feedback.
The construction class, led by Dan McKenna, teaches its members building skills and is part of the high school’s Career and Technical Education programme.
“This was a design to final products and delivery. It’s the best we could have asked for. It’s really what these programmes should be about,” said Michael Hobin, Westerly High School’s principal.
More people from the local community chipped in to help make the project happen. One of McKenna’s former students transported the shelter from the high school to the Killams’ address with his truck. And another neighbour helped to properly position the shelter by the bus stop.
Not only did Ryder’s daily life improve, but the students also learnt an unforgettable life lesson. They saw that with their skills and knowledge they can make a real difference in someone else’s life.
4. Why did Tim Killam turn to a high school for help?
A. Few people helped him. B. The school was close to him.
C. His son put forward the suggestion. D. He couldn’t find a right shelter.
5. What does the underlined phrase “chipped in” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Joined in. B. Focused on.
C. Picked up. D. Referred to.
6. What’s the author’s attitude to what people did in building the shelter?
A. Amazed. B. Appreciative.
C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A dream come true B. An amazing bus stop
C. A lucky disabled child D. A warm and comfortable shelter
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了当地高中生和社区成员合力为一名残疾男孩建造公交候车亭的故事,展现了人们的善意与合作精神。

And another neighbour helped to properly position the shelter by the bus stop. (McKenna老师的一名往届学生用卡车将候车亭从高中运到了Killam家附近。另外,还有一位邻居帮忙把候车亭准确安置在了公交站旁边)”可知,当地社区的更多人参与进来帮助实现这个项目,画线部分chipped in意为“加入,参与”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not only did Ryder’s daily life improve, but the students also learnt an unforgettable life lesson. They saw that with their skills and knowledge they can make a real difference in someone else’s life. (这次合作不仅改善了Ryder的日常生活,更让学生们收获了难忘的人生启迪。他们体会到,凭借自己的技能与知识,他们完全能够为他人的人生带来实质性的改变)”可知,作者认为人们的帮助很有意义,其态度是赞赏的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“He no longer has to wait for the school bus in the open air thanks to Westerly High School students. (多亏了Westerly高中学生们的帮助,他再也不用在露天等候校车了)”可知,文章讲述了残疾男孩Ryder因为当地高中生和社区成员的帮助,终于有了一个遮风挡雨的公交候车亭的故事。因此,D项“一个温暖舒适的候车亭”概括了事件的核心,体现了人们的善意,最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice increased quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

Thanks to this new hands-free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by an Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase will follow you everywhere you go.
The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype (雏形), connects to a smart phone app via Bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you’re not looking and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices.
“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smart phone, and avoiding obstacles,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We’re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app, press the follow-me button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.”
NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization (定制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman said, “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”
The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on old-fashion luggage.
With NUA’s smart suitcase, carrying round heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.
12. Why can this carry-on suitcase follow you?
A. Because there is a camera sensor inside.
B. Because there exists an anti-theft alarm.
C. Because it can recognize your smell.
D. Because a battery plays a key part.
13. According to the passage, the “smart” suitcase _______.
A. can go everywhere
B. is on sale now
C. can make our hands free during traveling
D. was designed by Alex Libman
14. What can we learn about NUA?
A. It is an Israeli tech company producing mobile phones.
B. It has improved the features of the device.
C. It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.
D. It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life.
15. Where does the article probably come from?
A. A text-book. B. A website.
C. A biography. D. A poster.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆初中生活,包括老师、朋友和学校旅行等美好时光。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我经常坐在窗边,回想那些快乐的日子。本句谓语为sit,此处为非谓语动词,think与主语I之间为主动关系,所以使用现在分词形式,作状语。故填thinking。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:她总是很有耐心,当我因为成绩而感到沮丧时,她鼓励我。根据句中was可知,句子描述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时,谓语用encourage的过去式,与was并列。故填encouraged。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:她的话现在仍然温暖着我的心。word“话语”为可数名词,根据谓语动词warm可知,此处应使用名词复数形式,作主语。故填words。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。句意:从零食到秘密,我们什么都一起分享。句子描述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时,且share“分享”与主语Everything之间为被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was。故填was shared。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:上周,我给他发了一条信息,他回复说他也很怀念我们过去的日子。send a message to sb.为固定短语,意为“给某人发信息”,其中to为介词。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:我们开心地拍了很多照片,爬山时还互相帮助。此处修饰动词took,应用副词happily,作状语。故填happily。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:李老师甚至和我们一起玩游戏,这让这次旅行令人难忘。此处泛指“一次难忘的旅行”,且unforgettable为元音音素开头的单词,所以此处应使用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我希望很快能再次见到他们。expect to do sth.为固定短语,意为“希望做某事”,所以此处应使用动词meet的不定式形式。故填to meet。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:他们教会了我很多,我永远不会忘记他们为我所做的一切。本空引导宾语从句,从句中缺少did的宾语,表示“……的事情”,应使用连接代词what引导宾语从句。故填what。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:我相信老师和朋友之间真正的友谊是初中最好的礼物之一。此处为one of +形容词最高级+名词复数“最……之一”,因此空处用good的最高级,the best。故填the best。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
第一节 (每小题1分,共10分)
任务型阅读
War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.

47. They argued about which college the writer should attend.
48. (Possible version) Maybe she didn’t want all the efforts the writer had made to be wasted and worried that the writer didn’t think it through. /Maybe she thought the writing college was unreliable and the future of being a writer was uncertain.
49. (Possible version) She could have an honest talk with or write a letter to her mom, explaining the reasons why she changed her mind, showing her enthusiasm about writing and her ability in it.

Waiting for the bus every morning and going to school has never been better for Ryder Killam, a 5-year-old boy in a wheelchair from Westerly, Rhode Island, who was born with disability. He no longer has to wait for the school bus in the open air thanks to Westerly High School students.
The goal of the boy’s father, Tim Killam, was to keep his little kid protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, and getting some kind of shelter (避雨处) was actually his idea. He asked for an unused bus shelter on Facebook. After not being able to find a suitable one, he decided to contact the high school which had already finished several building projects.
The students from Westerly High School construction (建造) class, among whom is one of Ryder’s brothers, quickly put their hands to work. The bus stop was designed by pupil Mason Heald, who was in regular contact with the Killams for feedback.
The construction class, led by Dan McKenna, teaches its members building skills and is part of the high school’s Career and Technical Education programme.
“This was a design to final products and delivery. It’s the best we could have asked for. It’s really what these programmes should be about,” said Michael Hobin, Westerly High School’s principal.
More people from the local community chipped in to help make the project happen. One of McKenna’s former students transported the shelter from the high school to the Killams’ address with his truck. And another neighbour helped to properly position the shelter by the bus stop.
Not only did Ryder’s daily life improve, but the students also learnt an unforgettable life lesson. They saw that with their skills and knowledge they can make a real difference in someone else’s life.
4. Why did Tim Killam turn to a high school for help?
A. Few people helped him. B. The school was close to him.
C. His son put forward the suggestion. D. He couldn’t find a right shelter.
5. What does the underlined phrase “chipped in” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Joined in. B. Focused on.
C. Picked up. D. Referred to.
6 What’s the author’s attitude to what people did in building the shelter?
A. Amazed. B. Appreciative.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice increased quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
8. Animals are important to us mainly because ________.
A. they give us a source of food B. they are beautiful and lovely

A. People care much about animals because they need them.
B. Once a certain kind of animals is gone forever, there will never be any more.

Thanks to this new hands-free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by an Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase will follow you everywhere you go.
The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype (雏形), connects to a smart phone app via Bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you’re not looking and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices.
“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smart phone, and avoiding obstacles,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We’re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app, press the follow-me button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.”
NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization (定制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman said, “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”
The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on old-fashion luggage.
With NUA’s smart suitcase, carrying round heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.
12. Why can this carry-on suitcase follow you?
A. Because there is a camera sensor inside.
B. Because there exists an anti-theft alarm.
C. Because it can recognize your smell.
D. Because a battery plays a key part.
13. According to the passage, the “smart” suitcase _______.
A. can go everywhere
B. is on sale now
C. can make our hands free during traveling
D. was designed by Alex Libman
14 What can we learn about NUA?
A. It is an Israeli tech company producing mobile phones.
B. It has improved the features of the device.
C It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.
D. It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life.
15. Where does the article probably come from?
A. A text-book. B. A website.
C. A biography. D. A poster.

任务型阅读
War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.
