On my first day of high school, I woke up very early. I would begin my journey of high school. Thousands of thoughts rushed through my mind. “Will I fit in? Will I make friends? Will I have nice teachers? Will I be badly treated?” I thought. However, my mum told me that I would be fine if I followed the school rules and did what I was asked to. Then I put on my uniform and smiled, hoping for the best.
At the school hall, I could feel the tension (紧张气氛) in the air. Then I knew I was not the only one feeling this way. Then all the new students had a tour of the school. I just hoped that I could remember all when I needed to. Then we headed for our classrooms to meet our fellow classmates. I was happy with my classmates as no one kid in my class was rude to others. As the lunch bell rang, many students were running and shouting everywhere. Some even rushed to the shops outside the school. I just went and sat down with my friends. We talked about our holidays in the past summer and about what our first lessons of high school were like. Our teachers weren’t strict at all. They were friendly and nice. I don’t know why I was scared at first. High school may seem to be scary, but it’s just like our primary school.
My first day of high school taught me that I shouldn’t be so quick to judge (判断) something that I haven’t even tried. High school was not bad as I had thought before. I love high school now. And I hope your first day of high school will be one of your best days in your life too.
19. How did the author feel before going to high school on the first day?
A. Curious. B. Worried. C. Bored. D. Excited.
20. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. The author didn’t like the school at all.
B. Many teachers in the school were very strict.
C. The author didn’t know anyone in the school.
D Many students in the school felt nervous at first.

C. Don’t judge anything before trying.
D. Don’t waste your time in high school.
C
The philosopher Aristotle said, “Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening (成熟) fruit.” Friendship is important for humans, but it takes time to develop a friendship.
Friendship can be neglected easily. According to the Gallup Organization’s director, Tom Rath, we usually realize the value of friendship during difficult times. In his book, Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without, Rath makes the point that if you ask people why they become homeless, why their marriage fails or why they overeat, they often say it is because of the poor quality of friendship. They feel unloved. Rath undertook a lot of study on friendship. His work resulted in some surprising statistics (统计数据): If your best friend eats healthily, you are five times more likely to have a healthy diet. Married people say friendship is more than five times as important as physical intimacy (亲密关系) within marriage. Those who say they have no real friends at work have only a one-in-twelve chance of feeling engaged in their job. On the contrary, if you have a “best friend at work”, you are seven times more likely to feel engaged in your job.
British writer Mark Vernon found support for this idea. Oscar Wilde also supported the selfless aspect of true friendship when he said, “Anybody can feel sorry for the sufferings of a friend, but it needs a very fine nature to enjoy a friend’s success.” In his search for the essence (本质) of friendship, Vernon explored a lot of words from well-known people. For example, Ralph Emerson said, “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.” Vernon’s book, The Philosophy of Friendship, makes the point that we have now known that money does not buy happiness. He suggests that we learn from Aristotle and spend at least a fifth of our time with our friends.
23. Aristotle’s words are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _______.
A. friendship gets broken easily.
B. friendship cannot be created quickly.
C. friendship has positive influences on humans.
D. friendship normally doesn’t exist between men and women.
24. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. ignored. B. misunderstood.
C. remembered. D. cheated.
25. According to Tom Rath, many people’s problems are caused by ________.
A. the bad health conditions.
B. the friendship of poor quality.
C. the bad work environment.
D. the stress from their family.
26. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The benefits of friendship. B. The tips on choosing friends.
C. The importance of friendship. D. The different opinions on friendship.
D
Memory
What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced.
So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel.
The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.
27. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents.
B. Why can’t we remember the events of early childhood?
C. Adults can’t remember things as well as children.
D. What are memories of early childhood like?
28. What does the word “amnesia” in the second paragraph mean?
A. A mental life story. B. A childhood memory. C. Inability to remember. D. Researches on memory.
29. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to ______.
A. talk about them with others B. grow older than three or four
C. write a story in their own language D. have a good relationship with their parents
30. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children don’t form long-term memories before the age of three is that children ______.
A. can’t call back their experiences B. have nowhere to store the memories
C haven’t developed enough language skills D. confuse the memory with the experience itself

I.单项填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
1. The number of people, who have access to their own cars, ______ sharply in the past decade.
A. rose B. is rising C. have risen D. has risen
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的十年里,拥有私家车的人数急剧增加。根据后文in the past decade可知表示过去发生的动作持续到现在应用现在完成时,主语为The number of people,助动词应用has。故选D。
【点睛】主谓一致之意义一致。
“a number of+复数名词”与“the number of+复数名词”作状语
a number of表示“很多……”,后跟可数名词的复数形式,作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式;
the number of表示“……的数目”,中心词是number,所以是单数,作主语时,谓语动词用单数。如:
The number of the students in our class is 50. 我们班学生的数量是五十。
A number of workers were fired. 一些工人被解雇了。
2. When you see the road ________ with snow, we decided to spend the holiday at home.
A. block B. to block C. blocked D. blocking
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:当看到道路被大雪堵住时,我们决定在家过节。分析句子结构可知,这里考查“see + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”结构,road与 block之间是被动关系,即“道路被堵塞”,需用过去分词作宾语补足语,符合语境。故选C项。
3. the course very difficult, she decided to move to a lower level.
A. Find B. Finding
C. To find D. Found
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在发现课程非常难的同时,她决定转移到较低层次。find与主语是逻辑主谓关系,应使用现在分词,表主动和进行,做伴随状语。故选B。
【点睛】首先要分析句子知道非谓语动词是做的什么成分,然后根据和修饰语的关系决定是现在分词还是过去分词或者不定式。这题是做伴随状语,she和find是主动关系,用现在分词做状语。
4. I ________down to London when I suddenly found that I was on the wrong road.
A. was driving B. have driven
C. would drive D. drove
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和过去进行时。句意:我正开着车去伦敦的路上,这时我发现走错路了。be doing sth when 结构表示“正在做某事,这时…”。为固定句型。根据时态一致原则,可知这里用过去进行时,故选A。
5. — Have you heard about zhangjiajie Glass Footbridge?
— of course, it is built over canyon in the zhangjiajie National forest park.
A. 300-meter-deep B. 300-meters-deep
C. 300 meter deep D. 300-meters deep
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:——你听说过张家界玻璃人行天桥吗?——当然,它建在张家界国家森林公园300多米深的峡谷里。此处应使用复合形容词形式,修饰名词canyon,作前置定语。带数字的复合形容词通常会将数字与度量单位结合并加上连字符(-),并以单数形式出现,因此正确的形式是300-meter-deep“300米深”。故选A。
6. Do you remember how long ago ______ to China?
A. have you traveled B. you have traveled C. did you travel D. you traveled
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】 考查动词时态及语序。句意:你还记得多久以前你去过中国吗?how long ago是对过去时的提问,应用一般过去时,排查AB项,宾语从句中,疑问词在前,后面使用陈述语序,由此可知,C项错误。故选D。
7. -Are you sure you have to? It’s been so late.
-I don’ t know I can do it if not now.
A. when B. how C. why D. what
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】本题考查连接词。解题步骤:2.确定答案:此处 I can do it if not now宾语从句,从句中缺少时间状语,表示“何时”故用when引导。句意:——你确定必须这么做吗?已经很晚了。——我不知道如果我现在不做该何时去做。故选A。
8. We, the students of Junior Three, have to do ______ homework every evening.
A. a great lot B. a large number of C. a large amount of D. a great many
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查数量词短语。句意:我们,初三的学生,每天晚上都要做大量的家庭作业。A. a great lot大量(不可修饰名词);B. a large number of许多,大量(修饰可数名词复数);C. a large amount of许多,大量(修饰不可数名词);D. a great many许多(修饰可数名词复数)。homework是不可数名词。故选C项。
9. ________, the student went out of the room, singing happily.
A. With all the problems settling B. With all the problems settled
C. All the problems have been settled D. With all the problems to settle
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构辨析。句意:所有问题都解决了,那个学生唱着歌开心地走出了房间。分析句子结构可知,这里考查“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”为独立主格结构,problems与settle之间是被动关系,且“问题解决”发生在“走出房间”之前,需用过去分词表被动和完成,settled符合语法规则与语境。C选项为完整句子,若用于此处需加连接词(如After),故排除。故选B项。
10. -What do you think the weather is like today?
-It’s still a little bit cold, though not so as yesterday.
A. cold B. colder C. coldest D. much colder
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查固定结构。句意:——你认为今天的天气怎么样?——还是有点冷,不过不像昨天那么冷了。此处为固定结构so…as…表示“像……一样”,一般用于否定句和疑问句中,中间应用形容词原形。故选A。
11. The visitors looked at me I had taken leave of my senses.

On my first day of high school I woke up very early. I would begin my journey of high school. Thousands of thoughts rushed through my mind. “Will I fit in? Will I make friends? Will I have nice teachers? Will I be badly treated?” I thought. However, my mum told me that I would be fine if I followed the school rules and did what I was asked to. Then I put on my uniform and smiled, hoping for the best.
At the school hall, I could feel the tension (紧张气氛) in the air. Then I knew I was not the only one feeling this way. Then all the new students had a tour of the school. I just hoped that I could remember all when I needed to. Then we headed for our classrooms to meet our fellow classmates. I was happy with my classmates as no one kid in my class was rude to others. As the lunch bell rang, many students were running and shouting everywhere. Some even rushed to the shops outside the school. I just went and sat down with my friends. We talked about our holidays in the past summer and about what our first lessons of high school were like. Our teachers weren’t strict at all. They were friendly and nice. I don’t know why I was scared at first. High school may seem to be scary, but it’s just like our primary school.
My first day of high school taught me that I shouldn’t be so quick to judge (判断) something that I haven’t even tried. High school was not bad as I had thought before. I love high school now. And I hope your first day of high school will be one of your best days in your life too.

C
The philosopher Aristotle said, “Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening (成熟) fruit.” Friendship is important for humans, but it takes time to develop a friendship.
Friendship can be neglected easily. According to the Gallup Organization’s director, Tom Rath, we usually realize the value of friendship during difficult times. In his book, Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without, Rath makes the point that if you ask people why they become homeless, why their marriage fails or why they overeat, they often say it is because of the poor quality of friendship. They feel unloved. Rath undertook a lot of study on friendship. His work resulted in some surprising statistics (统计数据): If your best friend eats healthily, you are five times more likely to have a healthy diet. Married people say friendship is more than five times as important as physical intimacy (亲密关系) within marriage. Those who say they have no real friends at work have only a one-in-twelve chance of feeling engaged in their job. On the contrary, if you have a “best friend at work”, you are seven times more likely to feel engaged in your job.
British writer Mark Vernon found support for this idea. Oscar Wilde also supported the selfless aspect of true friendship when he said, “Anybody can feel sorry for the sufferings of a friend, but it needs a very fine nature to enjoy a friend’s success.” In his search for the essence (本质) of friendship, Vernon explored a lot of words from well-known people. For example, Ralph Emerson said, “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.” Vernon’s book, The Philosophy of Friendship, makes the point that we have now known that money does not buy happiness. He suggests that we learn from Aristotle and spend at least a fifth of our time with our friends.
23. Aristotle’s words are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _______.
A. friendship gets broken easily.
B. friendship cannot be created quickly.
C. friendship has positive influences on humans.
D. friendship normally doesn’t exist between men and women.
24. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. ignored. B. misunderstood.
C. remembered. D. cheated.
25. According to Tom Rath, many people’s problems are caused by ________.
A. the bad health conditions.
B. the friendship of poor quality.
C. the bad work environment.
D. the stress from their family.
26. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The benefits of friendship. B. The tips on choosing friends.
C. The importance of friendship. D. The different opinions on friendship.
【答案】23. B 24. A 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章借亚里士多德名言引出友谊需时间培养,再通过拉斯的研究数据、弗农及名人观点,论证友谊的重要性。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The philosopher Aristotle said, “Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening (成熟) fruit.” Friendship is important for humans, but it takes time to develop a friendship.(哲学家亚里士多德说:“想要成为朋友很容易,但友谊是一颗慢慢成熟的果实。”友谊对人类很重要,但培养友谊需要时间。)”可知,引用亚里士多德的话是为了说明友谊无法快速建立,需要时间。故选B项。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“According to the Gallup Organization’s director, Tom Rath, we usually realize the value of friendship during difficult times. (盖洛普组织负责人汤姆・拉斯表示,我们通常在困境中才意识到友谊的价值。)”可知,我们通常在困境中才意识到友谊的价值,由此可推至,我们平时容易忽视友谊,neglected意为“忽视”,符合逻辑。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without, Rath makes the point that if you ask people why they become homeless, why their marriage fails or why they overeat, they often say it is because of the poor quality of friendship.(在其著作《Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without》中,拉斯(Rath)提出了一个观点:如果你问人们为何无家可归、婚姻为何破裂或是为何暴饮暴食,他们往往会将原因归咎于糟糕的友谊质量。)”可知,拉斯认为很多人的问题是由劣质友谊导致的。故选B项。

Memory
What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced.
So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel.
The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.
27. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents.
B. Why can’t we remember the events of early childhood?
C. Adults can’t remember things as well as children.
D. What are memories of early childhood like?
28 What does the word “amnesia” in the second paragraph mean?
A. A mental life story. B. A childhood memory. C. Inability to remember. D. Researches on memory.
29. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to ______.
A. talk about them with others B. grow older than three or four
C. write a story in their own language D. have a good relationship with their parents
30. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children don’t form long-term memories before the age of three is that children ______.
A. can’t call back their experiences B. have nowhere to store the memories
C. haven’t developed enough language skills D. confuse the memory with the experience itself
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么我们不能记住童年早期的事情,心理学家对这种“童年失忆症”提出了各种各样的解释。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. (你最早的童年记忆是什么?你还记得学走路吗?还是说?你第一次看电视节目是什么时候?成年人很少回忆起早于入学前一年左右的事情,就像三四岁以下的孩子很少记得任何具体的个人经历一样)”及第二段中的“A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. (心理学家对这种“童年失忆症”提出了各种各样的解释)”可知,文章主要介绍了为什么我们不能记住童年早期的事情。故选B。
【28题详解】

(你最早的童年记忆是什么?你还记得学走路吗?还是说?你第一次看电视节目是什么时候?成年人很少回忆起早于入学前一年左右的事情,就像三四岁以下的孩子很少记得任何具体的个人经历一样)”及第二段中的“A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. ( 心理学家对这种“童年 amnesia”提出了各种各样的解释)”可推知,childhood amnesia指的是上文中提到的成年人记不住童年早期的事情。由此可知,划线词amnesia与inability to remember.“无法记住”意思接近。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories.

Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced.

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories. (与他人谈论他们对过去的短期记忆,有助于建立长期记忆)”及“But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.(但孩子的语言技能通常要到三、四岁才会成熟,所以他们没有办法记住自己最早的经历)”可推知,根据西姆斯博士的说法,孩子们在三岁之前没有形成长期记忆的原因是他们还没有发展足够的语言技能。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。在适当的气候条件下,你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。文章主要介绍了种植西红柿的方法。
【31题详解】
根据上文“Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere. Before you grow tomatoes, check if your area has the right climatic conditions for this purpose.(在适当的气候条件下,你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。在你种植西红柿之前,检查你所在地区的气候条件是否适合种植西红柿)”以及后文“And if it doesn’t, just give up this idea.(如果不适合,就放弃这个想法)”可知,后文假设了不适合种植西红柿的情况,可知本句是在假设气候条件适合的情况,故C选项“如果适合,找一些土地种植”符合语境,故选C。
【32题详解】
根据后文“One is to grow them from seed and the other is to grow them from the plants.(一种是从种子中培养出来的,另一种是从植物中培养出来的)”可知,种植西红柿有两种方法,一种是从种子中培养出来的,另一种是从植物中培养出来。故E选项“你有两种种植西红柿的方法”符合语境,故选E。
【33题详解】
根据上文“Tomatoes don’t grow well in cool conditions.(西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好)”可知,上文提到西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好,可知本句承接上文说明适合西红柿生长的温度环境,G选项中They指代上文Tomatoes。故G选项“它们需要65°F或更高的平均温度才能生长良好”符合语境,故选G。
【34题详解】
根据上文“Tomatoes require areas with full sun and should have enough protection from strong winds as well, that’s more, they require a lot of water; therefore, you had better water your tomato plants regularly.(西红柿需要阳光充足的地方,也应该有足够的保护,以防强风,更重要的是,它们需要大量的水;因此,你最好定期给你的番茄植株浇水)”可知,上文提到了种植西红柿需要阳光充足、足够的保护和大量的水,这些都是种植西红柿需要注意的因素。故F选项“要把西红柿种好,注意所有这些因素”符合语境,故选F。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Check tomato plants daily for any ripe produce. Picking often helps more to grow. Once the end of growing season is coming, it’s helpful to remove any flowers as well.(每天检查番茄植株是否有成熟的果实。采摘往往有助于更多的成长。一旦生长季节结束,也可以把花移走)”可知,上文提到采摘有助于西红柿生长,且提到了把花移走,可见本句承接上文说明这么做的原因:帮助现有的果实生长。故B选项“这样做可以帮助现有的果实生长”符合语境,故选B。
