He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship(奖学金)to study medicine — but Coach (教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.” Success and kindness After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos (录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.” Bravery and courage A few weeks ago Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails (铁轨), and held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists he’s not a hero. He says: “We have got to show each other some love.” 4. What was Mutombo praised for? A. Being a star in the NBA. B. Being a student of medicine. C. His work in the church. D. His willingness to help the needy. 5. Mulombo believes that building the new hospital is___________________. A. helpful to his personal development B. something he should do for his homeland C. a chance for his friends to share his money D. a way of showing his respect to the NBA 6. What did the Baby Einstein Company do at its beginning? A Produce safety equipment for children. B. Make videos to help protect children. C. Sell children’s music and artwork. D. Look for missing and exploited children. 7. Why was Wesley Autrey praised as a hero? A. He helped a man get across the rails. B. He stopped a man from destroying the rails. C. He protected two little girls from getting hurt. D. He saved a person without considering his own safety. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了三个人的感人事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo.（但是他从不忘记他的故乡和他跟其他人分享他的财富的责任。他在刚果老家建了一所新医院。）”可知，Mutombo因为乐意帮助有需要的人而受到赞扬。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”(但是他从不忘记他的故乡和他跟其他人分享他的财富的责任。他在他的家乡刚果建立了一家医院。一位朋友这样评价这位好心肠的人:“Mutombo相信上帝给了他这个机会去做伟大的事情。”)”可知，Mulombo认为建立一所新医院是他应该为家乡所作的。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos (录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales.（女儿出生后，Julie Aigner Clark想办法与孩子分享她对音乐和艺术的热爱。所以她借了一些设备然后在她的家里给孩子们录像。公司Baby Einstein建立了，在短短的五年内她的业务涨到了两亿美元的销量）”可知，Baby Einstein最开始售卖儿童音乐艺术品。答案选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails (铁轨), and held him as the train passed right above their heads.（ Wesley Autrey跳进轨道，把那个人拉到铁轨之间的空隙内，在火车在他们头上经过的时候抱住那个人）”可知，Wesley Autrey因不顾自己的安危去救人受到赞扬，故选D。 C It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged (重新设置) in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged. As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类)breakfast into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies. “Ready for your trip to space? ”You ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space, — and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot (自动驾驶).” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it. 8. What changes the color of your shirt? A. The mirror. B. The shirt itself. C. The counter. D. The medicine. 9. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal? A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctor’s advice. C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food. 10. The strawberries the children eat serve as_______. A. breakfast B. lunch C. vaccines D. nutrition 11. How is the text organized? A. In order of time. B. In order of character. C. In order of preference. D. In order of importance. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章设想了2035年时，年将40岁的你，起床后的生活会是什么样的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rear-ranged(重新设置) in your shirt to change its color.(微小的预先编程的电子设备在你的衬衫后面重新排列以改变它的颜色。)”可知，衣服自己会改变它的颜色。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear,“To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.”from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details.(当你进入厨房，准备将早餐麦片倒入碗里时，你会听到你的鞋子说“减肥，你不可以吃那个”，它们会读取麦片盒子上的电子源码，来确定它们的营养成分。)”可知，鞋子通过读取麦片盒子上的电子源码，根据它的营养成分，来确定你不能吃那个早餐麦片。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.”Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. (你递给孩子们每人三个草莓，补充说：“医生说你们在太空旅行时需要这些。”多亏了医学的进步，防疫针已经是过去的事情了。普通食物中包含特定的疫苗。)”可知，孩子们吃的草莓是当做疫苗的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say.(准备去上班时，你在镜子前停了一下，说：“变红。”)”； 第二段“As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类)breakfast into a bowl,(当你进入厨房准备将早餐麦片倒入碗里时，)”；第三段“Ready for your trip to space? ”you ask your son and daughter.(你问你的儿女“准备去太空旅行吗？)”；以及文章最后一段“It’s time for you to go to work.(该去上班了。)”可知，本文是按照时间顺序（起床穿衣、准备早餐、餐桌上的对话、去上班）展开的。故选A项。 D Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. While the Internet and some other media are rapidly developing in a world where people’s lifestyles are more than busy there seems to be less time for newspapers. The newspaper industry, in countries where newspapers have dominated as a medium for many years, is now struggling more than ever. Newspaper circulation has been declining since over 40 years ago. “I foresee, in one or two generations, a society where you will access a newspaper only from a hand-held screen.” warns William Papatassos, a Blue & Gold advisor. The Internet attracts most of the younger people. The problem of newspapers is called “the problem of the 18-to 35-year-old people”. This group of people are not willing to replace the regular readers who grew up using this traditional medium. And they like to surf the Internet to search for information. Some experts predict that by 2043, in America and many other countries, newspapers will no longer exist. Fortunately, print newspapers still exist and offer advantages to readers. “Newspapers encourage more thoughtful thinking,” says the journalist Kathleen Jasonides. “At this point, there is still room for it. Some people do not like reading shortened articles online.” But some newspapers including Blue & Gold provide articles of online editions, bearing in mind the increasing use of the Internet. However, the great variety of specialised information offered by many other websites prevents these online editions from developing. In addition, the newspaper industry has kept its best journalists for print; therefore the quality of articles is not the same. The only thing that we know for sure is that print newspapers are facing a crisis due to lack of revenues from traditional advertising and the appearance of the Internet. 12. What can we imply from the first two paragraphs? A. Print newspapers are facing a greater opportunity. B. Print newspapers are always part of people’s lifestyles. C. Print newspapers are suffering a dreadful challenge. D. Print newspapers have been a leading medium. 13. What can we know about the people aged 18—35? A. They are the regular readers of print newspapers. B. They regard the Internet as a main source of news. C. They are growing up using the traditional medium. D. They aren’t ready to use other media to replace newspapers. 14. We can conclude from the passage EXCEPT that ______. A. articles of online editions can increase newspapers’ revenues B. print newspapers have been gradually losing their readers since the 1980s C. it is believed by some experts that newspapers will disappear in many countries by 2043 D. some newspapers provide articles of online editions due to the growing use of the Internet 15. Where can we most probably read this passage? A. In a comic book. B. In a textbook. C. In a fiction novel. D. In a newspaper. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者提出论点：报纸可能会很快成为历史。随后提出一个支撑的理由，即因特网和其他各种新闻媒介的出现以及人们快节奏的生活方式使得报纸的发展前景不容乐观。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段第一句“Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. (印刷报纸将很快成为我们历史的一部分。)”以及第二段第一句“Newspaper circulation has been declining since over 40 years ago. (40多年来，报纸发行量一直在下降。)”可知，报业正在经历可怕的挑战。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 由第三段“This group of people are not willing to replace the regular readers who grew up using this traditional medium. And they like to surf the Internet to search for information. (这群人不愿意取代使用这种传统媒体长大的普通读者。他们喜欢上网搜索信息。)”可知，这个年龄段的人把因特网作为一个主要的新闻来源。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“The only thing that we know for sure is that print newspapers are facing a crisis due to lack of revenues from traditional advertising and the appearance of the Internet. (我们唯一确定的是，由于传统广告收入的缺乏和互联网的出现，纸质报纸正面临危机。)”可知，网络文章版本并没有使得报纸收入增加，与选项A的内容不一致。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段“Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. While the Internet and some other media are rapidly developing in a world where people’s lifestyles are more than busy, there seems to be less time for newspapers. The newspaper industry, in countries where newspapers have dominated as a medium for many years, is now struggling more than ever.(印刷报纸将很快成为我们历史的一部分。虽然互联网和其他一些媒体正在迅速发展，在一个世界上，人们的生活方式是忙碌的，似乎有更少的时间看报纸。在报纸作为一种媒介多年来一直占主导地位的国家，报业现在比以往任何时候都更加艰难。)”可知，本文是在介绍报纸不乐观的发展前景和一些专家的评论。 这样的文章最可能出现在报纸上，而非连环漫画、教科书或者小说中。 故选D。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Save a Wet Cell Phone Have you ever dropped your cell phone in the water?

When I first met him, I asked him what encouraged him to teach. David smiled. And he told me a story. When he was young, like many young boys, David was fond of throwing stones. One afternoon, he discovered, that if he threw stones over his neighbor’s fence, he could create a crashing sound — the sound of breaking glass. So he would throw a stone and wait for the sound. David felt fun at that moment, but then he did get caught. The man who lived next door came to his house and told his parents about the boy and the stones. “I would like David to come to my home so I can show him a few things,” the man said. His parents, sorry for that and disappointed by their son’s behavior, sent their son to the neighbor’s house. David followed the man into his house, through the back door, and out into the yard. There, next to the fence, was a greenhouse. The neighbor led David into the greenhouse, and David imagined all kinds of punishments. What was the man going to do with him? As he led David down the rows of plants, the man began talking about flowers. He walked slowly, showing him each one and explaining what he loved about them. He said, “There are my gladioli (剑兰); they can get quite large and bloom (开花) in many colors. There are violets; they are my wife’s favorite. When I see them, I remember her, and miss her. In the deep purple, she lives in my eyes. And these orchids, right here, are very difficult to grow. But when they bloom, they create the most beautiful shape. You cannot believe until you see with your own eyes how a flower can be so beautiful.” Para1: David was surprised. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: As he walked home, David decided he would grow up to be a teacher. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: David was surprised. There was no lecture, no beating, and no punishment. For about one hour, David was shown everything the man loved, including his flowers, and the greenhouse where he grew plants. Then, he took David’s hand, and shook it. He thanked David for coming, and told him he was welcome to come back any time he wanted. And then, he let David go home. Para 2: As he walked home, David decided he would grow up to be a teacher. That’s all because of a walk through some broken glass, a room full of flowers, and a few stories. The man had done a very small thing and he just showed David what he loved. He could have shouted at David. But instead he took a few thoughtful minutes to share the fragrances (香味) and colors that meant so much to him. In a single hour, David realized his wrong doings. Encouraged by the man, David wanted to be a teacher to help other kids like him. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物线索展开叙事。文章介绍说，David讲述了自己为什么选择教师这个职业。他小的时候，因为调皮捣蛋，毁坏了邻居家的玻璃。邻居非但没有教训或惩罚他，而是带他转了自己的温室，看自己最爱的花朵等，并邀请他下次再来。David很受感触，决定长大后成为一名老师，帮助像他曾经一样调皮捣蛋的孩子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“David非常吃惊。”可知，第一段可继续描写邻居没有批评David，而是带他转温室。 ②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，David决定长大后要当一名教师。”可知，第二段可描写这件事让David受到的启迪，他决定长大后成为一名老师，帮助他人。 2.续写线索：邻居没有批评——继续陪David转温室——邀请David下次再来——David回家——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/present ②喊叫：shout at/yell at ③鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①感谢：thank sb./show appreciation to sb./express gratitude to sb./be grateful to sb. ②体贴的：thoughtful/considerate 【点睛】[高分句型1] For about one hour, David was shown everything the man loved, including his flowers, and the greenhouse where he grew plants. (运用了省略that引导的定语从句及where引导的定语从句) [高分句型2] The man had done a very small thing and he just showed David what he loved.

He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship(奖学金)to study medicine — but Coach (教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.” Success and kindness After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos (录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.” Bravery and courage A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails (铁轨), and held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists he’s not a hero. He says: “We have got to show each other some love.” 4. What was Mutombo praised for? A. Being a star in the NBA. B. Being a student of medicine. C. His work in the church. D.

Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged (重新设置) in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged. As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类)breakfast into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies. “Ready for your trip to space? ”You ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space, — and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot (自动驾驶).” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it. 8. What changes the color of your shirt? A. The mirror. B. The shirt itself. C. The counter. D. The medicine. 9. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal? A By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctor’s advice. C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food. 10. The strawberries the children eat serve as_______. A. breakfast B. lunch C. vaccines D. nutrition 11. How is the text organized? A. In order of time. B. In order of character. C. In order of preference. D. In order of importance. D Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. While the Internet and some other media are rapidly developing in a world where people’s lifestyles are more than busy, there seems to be less time for newspapers. The newspaper industry, in countries where newspapers have dominated as a medium for many years, is now struggling more than ever. Newspaper circulation has been declining since over 40 years ago. “I foresee, in one or two generations, a society where you will access a newspaper only from a hand-held screen.” warns William Papatassos, a Blue & Gold advisor. The Internet attracts most of the younger people. The problem of newspapers is called “the problem of the 18-to 35-year-old people”. This group of people are not willing to replace the regular readers who grew up using this traditional medium. And they like to surf the Internet to search for information. Some experts predict that by 2043, in America and many other countries, newspapers will no longer exist. Fortunately, print newspapers still exist and offer advantages to readers. “Newspapers encourage more thoughtful thinking,” says the journalist Kathleen Jasonides. “At this point, there is still room for it. Some people do not like reading shortened articles online.” But some newspapers including Blue & Gold provide articles of online editions, bearing in mind the increasing use of the Internet. However, the great variety of specialised information offered by many other websites prevents these online editions from developing. In addition, the newspaper industry has kept its best journalists for print; therefore the quality of articles is not the same. The only thing that we know for sure is that print newspapers are facing a crisis due to lack of revenues from traditional advertising and the appearance of the Internet. 12. What can we imply from the first two paragraphs? A. Print newspapers are facing a greater opportunity. B. Print newspapers are always part of people’s lifestyles. C. Print newspapers are suffering a dreadful challenge. D. Print newspapers have been a leading medium. 13. What can we know about the people aged 18—35? A. They are the regular readers of print newspapers. B. They regard the Internet as a main source of news. C. They are growing up using the traditional medium. D. They aren’t ready to use other media to replace newspapers. 14. We can conclude from the passage EXCEPT that ______. A. articles of online editions can increase newspapers’ revenues B. print newspapers have been gradually losing their readers since the 1980s C. it is believed by some experts that newspapers will disappear in many countries by 2043 D. some newspapers provide articles of online editions due to the growing use of the Internet 15. Where can we most probably read this passage? A. In a comic book. B. In a textbook. C. In a fiction novel. D. In a newspaper. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Save a Wet Cell Phone Have you ever dropped your cell phone in the water?

When I first met him, I asked him what encouraged him to teach. David smiled. And he told me a story. When he was young, like many young boys, David was fond of throwing stones. One afternoon, he discovered, that if he threw stones over his neighbor’s fence, he could create a crashing sound — the sound of breaking glass. So he would throw a stone and wait for the sound. David felt fun at that moment, but then he did get caught. The man who lived next door came to his house and told his parents about the boy and the stones. “I would like David to come to my home so I can show him a few things,” the man said. His parents, sorry for that and disappointed by their son’s behavior, sent their son to the neighbor’s house. David followed the man into his house, through the back door, and out into the yard. There, next to the fence, was a greenhouse. The neighbor led David into the greenhouse, and David imagined all kinds of punishments. What was the man going to do with him? As he led David down the rows of plants, the man began talking about flowers. He walked slowly, showing him each one and explaining what he loved about them. He said, “There are my gladioli (剑兰); they can get quite large and bloom (开花) in many colors. There are violets; they are my wife’s favorite. When I see them, I remember her, and miss her. In the deep purple, she lives in my eyes. And these orchids, right here, are very difficult to grow. But when they bloom, they create the most beautiful shape. You cannot believe until you see with your own eyes how a flower can be so beautiful.” Para1: David was surprised. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: As he walked home, David decided he would grow up to be a teacher. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
