Don Shiffler didn’t think much about it when his three-year-old son said that the thin, green rock he found was a dinosaur (恐龙) egg.
Think again, Dad. Researchers say the “rock” young David Shiffler found is the oldest evidence (证据) of a meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaur.
The family was on their way home from a camping trip, having just seen “The Land Before Time”, a cartoon (动画片) about a young dinosaur, and Shiffler said David had dinosaurs on his mind.
“Everything he picked up that day was a dinosaur egg,” said Shiffler.
Without giving it serious thought, Shiffler placed the unusual “rock” on a shelf, where it remained for nearly two months.
David, however, kept telling his father that the coin-sized rock was important.
“I knew it was a dinosaur egg,” David, now four, said last month at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, where the fossilized (化石的) piece of eggshell is now on show.
After Dad finally gave in and brought the piece to the museum, experts examined it carefully. They discovered that it was about 150 million years old — a major discovery that is changing scientists’ understanding of when meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs first appeared.
4. How did Don Shiffler first react to the rock his son found?
A. He kept it safely on a shelf.
B. He didn’t take it seriously.
C. He realized it was a dinosaur egg.
D. He thought of taking it to the museum.
5. Which of the following best explains why David believed the rock was dinosaur egg?
A. He was full of imagination.
B. He was an unusually clever boy.
C. He could watch things carefully.
D. He had made a study of dinosaurs.
6. Why did Don Shiffler decide to take the rock to the museum?
A. He found it was valuable.
B. His son told him it was very old.
C. His son kept saying it was important.
D. He had got a call from the museum.
7. Before David’s discovery, scientists used to think that meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs________.
A. hadn’t appeared on the earth
B. hadn’t appeared in America
C. had appeared on the earth much later
D. had appeared on the earth much earlier
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了唐·希夫勒三岁的儿子大卫发现了一块“恐龙蛋”,而唐·希夫勒起初并未重视,但大卫坚持认为这很重要,最终这块化石被证实是约1.5亿年前的肉食性、产卵恐龙的证据,改变了科学家对这类恐龙首次出现时间的理解。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Don Shiffler didn’t think much about it when his three-year-old son said that the thin, green rock he found was a dinosaur egg. (当唐·希夫勒三岁的儿子说他发现的那块又薄又绿的石头是恐龙蛋时,他并没有多想。)”和第五段“Without giving it serious thought, Shiffler placed the unusual “rock” on a shelf. (希夫勒没有认真考虑,就把这块不寻常的“石头”放在了架子上。)”可知,唐·希夫勒最初对他儿子发现的石头没有认真对待,只是把它放在了架子上。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The family was on their way home from a camping trip, having just seen “The Land Before Time”, a cartoon about a young dinosaur, and Shiffler said David had dinosaurs on his mind. (这家人刚看完一部关于小恐龙的动画片《史前大陆》,正在从露营旅行回家的路上,希夫勒说大卫满脑子都是恐龙。)”可知,大卫刚看完关于恐龙的动画片,满脑子都是恐龙,所以他认为这块石头是恐龙蛋,这说明他充满了想象力。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“David, however, kept telling his father that the coin-sized rock was important. (然而,大卫一直告诉他的父亲,这块硬币大小的石头很重要。)”和第八段“After Dad finally gave in and brought the piece to the museum. (在爸爸最终让步并把这块石头带到博物馆后。)”可知,唐·希夫勒决定把石头带到博物馆是因为他的儿子一直说它很重要。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“They discovered that it was about 150 million years old — a major discovery that is changing scientists’ understanding of when meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs first appeared. (他们发现它大约有1.5亿年的历史——这一重大发现正在改变科学家对肉食性、产卵恐龙首次出现时间的理解。)”可知,在大卫发现之前,科学家们认为肉食性、产卵恐龙在地球上出现得晚得多。故选C。
C
People these days worry that courtesy(礼貌) is becoming a thing of the past. To check out the truth, US magazine Reader’s Digest carried out a study. They did three tests in 35 countries.
In the first test, a reporter walked into a public building 20 times behind different people to see if they held the door open. In the second, a reporter bought things from 20 shops and recorded whether the sales assistants said “Thank you”. In the third, a reporter dropped a bag full of papers in 20 busy streets to see if anyone would help pick them up.
According to the survey, the most impolite cities in the world are in Asia.
Asians argued that they did the study only by Western ideas of courtesy.
“How can we judge someone’s value simply by whether they hold a door open?” says a19-year-old student John Christopher Padilla, in the Philippine capital, Manila.
Li Jin, a teacher in Hong Kong, says that whenever she has visitors she serves them the best food and sees them off. Westerners, however, often allow guests to help themselves. “Westerners may think Chinese are pushy, but they’re just trying to be polite,” Li says.
“I think Eastern and Western societies have different understanding about politeness,” says an Indian university student.
“South Korea is certainly a polite nation,” says Li Binghe, a 30-year-old from Seoul. “Our politeness is more about respect, especially to old people. You always see people giving their seats to old people and offering a hand when they see someone carrying heavy luggage.”
In fact, people in different cultures have different ways of showing politeness. It is not fair to say one culture is more polite than another. Instead, we should try to understand and respect these differences. After all, kindness and respect are valued in every culture around the world.
8. What did Reader’s Digest want to find out by doing the study?
A. The truth about courtesy in different countries.
B. The reason why people paid attention to courtesy.
C. How people in Asian countries showed courtesy.
D. How people in different countries understood courtesy.
9. What does John Christopher Padilla really mean by what he says?
A. Holding a door open is impossible in Asia.
B. There are different ways to hold a door open.
C. There are many other ways to show politeness.
D. Holding a door open doesn’t mean politeness.
10. Why did Reader’s Digest get a result of the survey that Asians are not pleased with?
A. They did the survey only in 35 countries.
B. They did the survey only by Western ideas.
C. They judged courtesy differently in Asia.
D. They did the survey only in impolite Asian cities.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A The plan for the survey.
B. The result of the survey.
C. The purpose of the survey.
D. The argument about the survey.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了《读者文摘》进行的一项关于礼貌的研究及其引发的讨论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People these days worry that courtesy is becoming a thing of the past. To check out the truth, US magazine Reader’s Digest carried out a study.(如今,人们担心礼貌正在成为过去。为了查明真相,美国杂志《读者文摘》进行了一项研究。)”可知,《读者文摘》想通过这项研究找出不同国家关于礼貌的真相。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“How can we judge someone’s value simply by whether they hold a door open?(我们怎么能仅仅通过一个人是否开门来判断他的价值呢?)”可知,John Christopher Padilla认为不能仅仅通过扶着门来判断一个人是否有礼貌,还有很多其他的方式来表现礼貌。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Asians argued that they did the study only by Western ideas of courtesy.(亚洲人认为,他们只是按照西方的礼貌观念进行了研究。)”可知,《读者文摘》只按照西方的礼貌观念进行了研究,所以得到了亚洲人不满意的研究结果。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首先介绍了《读者文摘》进行的一项关于礼貌的研究,然后讲述了亚洲人对这项研究结果的不满,最后指出不同文化中的人有不同的礼貌表达方式,不应该说一种文化比另一种文化更有礼貌,而应该尝试理解和尊重这些差异,由此可知,这篇文章主要讲了关于这项调查的争论。故选D。
D
Professor Kevin Warwick is an expert in cybernetics — the study of communication systems in humans, animals, and machines.
What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer? That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. “I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human,” he says.
Soon he will have an operation. A glass tube(管状物) will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits(线路). These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.
Then the experiment will begin. Says Kevin Warwick: “Pain provides a clear electronic signal(信号) on the nerves as it moves from its starting point to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the same pain?”
It is not just about pain. The human nervous system sends many other messages to the brain. The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.
This could serve many different purposes. The computer could provide eyes for a blind person. Anxious or unhappy people are often given medicine to make them feel better. But what if they could put feelings of happiness directly into their minds?
Imagine that you are thousands of miles away from your loved ones. You love them and long to be back with them. Instead of writing a letter, you store these feelings on a computer and send them to your family as an email.
Professor Warwick now believes that the success of his new experiment could lead to the evolution(进化) of humans. A human will be able to use the memory(记忆) and mathematical power of the computer. He or she will be able to communicate thoughts and feelings directly across the planet using the Internet. People have used their intelligence(智力) to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together?
12. What will the computer circuits be used to do?
A. Send messages to the brain.
B. Send messages to a computer.
C. Store messages from the computer.
D. Store messages from the nervous system.
13. What is the purpose of the messages stored on a computer?
A To reduce pain.
B. To improve memory.
C. To improve the human body.
D. To get them back when necessary.
14. What does “the two” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Human evolution and machines.
B. Humans and human intelligence.
C. Human intelligence and computers.
D. Human evolution and intelligence.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Professor Warwick?
A. Hard-working. B. Creative.
C. Clever. D. Brave.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了凯文・沃里克教授作为控制论专家,计划通过手术将手臂神经与电脑电路连接,探索人脑与电脑结合的可能性及潜在应用,进而推动人类进化的实验构想。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits. These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.(在管内,将有微型计算机电路。这些电路将接收发送到大脑的信息,并将其发送到电脑。)” 可知,电脑电路的用途是把神经传递给大脑的信息发送到电脑。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第五段“The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.(该项目旨在查明所有这些信息是否都能存储在电脑上,然后再反馈到人体中。)” 可知,将信息存储在电脑上的目的是必要时能将其反馈到人体。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段“A human will be able to use the memory and mathematical power of the computer.(人类将能够使用电脑内存和数学能力。) ”及“People have used their intelligence to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together?(人类利用自己的智力创造出了越来越智能的机器。现在是不是这两者结合的时候了?)” 可知,“the two”指代前文提到的“人类智力”和“电脑”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer? That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. “I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human,” he says.(如果人类的大脑与一台功能强大的计算机相连,会发生什么?这正是凯文・沃里克想要弄清楚的。他说:“我想尝试改变一些事情,尝试彻底改变作为人类的意义。”)” 可知,沃里克教授提出将人脑与电脑连接的创新实验,体现了他富有创造力的特质。故选B。

A Party for a Nurse
Debby was a young nurse who worked in a children’s hospital. She was loved by all the sick children who had to be there, because she was really a kind-hearted person and treated them as her own brothers and sisters. She took good care of them and always spent time with them, comforting them and telling them interesting stories. It gave her a lot of satisfaction to know that she was bringing happiness to them and helping them to get well again.
One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course, some had to be left to look after the children, and Debby was not one of the lucky ones who were free to go to the dance. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself, though she knew she should stay with the children.
Among the sick children there was a boy called Jimmy, who was seven years old. Poor Jimmy had had a very serious illness. Now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself. When he knew that Debby had to miss the dance because of them, he felt a little sad, wondering what they could do for her so that she would have a nice evening.

The children all said Jimmy’s idea of holding a party for Debby in their room was the best one.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Maybe the other children will have some good ideas,” he thought. So Jimmy talked with them about the matter. One child suggested that they should ask the hospital to arrange for Debby to go to the dance, as they could take care of themselves that evening. Another child said that they could prepare some snacks and drinks for her to enjoy. All at once, Jimmy had an idea. “Since she can’t go to the hospital dance, why not hold a party for her in our room tonight?” he said.
The children all said Jimmy’s idea of holding a party for Debby in their room was the best one. So they set about making some preparations. The moment Debby entered the room, they went up to her, offered her their snacks and drinks and invited her to dance with them. There, lying in bed, Jimmy greeted Debby warmly. “Thank you for looking after us, Debby. I’d get up and dance with you too if I was able to,” he added. Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away. To Debby, it was the most pleasant evening she had ever had.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一位名叫Debby的年轻护士在儿童医院工作,她善良且深受孩子们喜爱。一次医院举办舞会,Debby因要照顾孩子而不能参加,一个生病的小男孩Jimmy得知后,想为她做点什么让她度过一个愉快的夜晚。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容““或许其他孩子会有好主意,”他心想。”可知,第一段可描写孩子们纷纷发表意见,讨论为Debby做点什么。
②由第二段首句内容“孩子们都觉得Jimmy这个“在房间里为Debby办派对”的主意最棒。”可知,第二段可描写孩子们为Debby举办派对的经过以及Debby的感受。
2.续写线索:孩子们讨论方案——为派对做准备——举办派对的经过——Debby的感受

Don Shiffler didn’t think much about it when his three-year-old son said that the thin, green rock he found was a dinosaur (恐龙) egg.
Think again, Dad. Researchers say the “rock” young David Shiffler found is the oldest evidence (证据) of a meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaur.
The family was on their way home from a camping trip, having just seen “The Land Before Time”, a cartoon (动画片) about a young dinosaur, and Shiffler said David had dinosaurs on his mind.
“Everything he picked up that day was a dinosaur egg,” said Shiffler.
Without giving it serious thought, Shiffler placed the unusual “rock” on a shelf, where it remained for nearly two months.
David, however, kept telling his father that the coin-sized rock was important.
“I knew it was a dinosaur egg,” David, now four, said last month at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, where the fossilized (化石的) piece of eggshell is now on show.
After Dad finally gave in and brought the piece to the museum, experts examined it carefully. They discovered that it was about 150 million years old — a major discovery that is changing scientists’ understanding of when meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs first appeared.
4. How did Don Shiffler first react to the rock his son found?
A. He kept it safely on a shelf.
B. He didn’t take it seriously.
C. He realized it was a dinosaur egg.
D. He thought of taking it to the museum.
5. Which of the following best explains why David believed the rock was dinosaur egg?
A. He was full of imagination.
B. He was an unusually clever boy.
C. He could watch things carefully.
D. He had made a study of dinosaurs.
6. Why did Don Shiffler decide to take the rock to the museum?
A. He found it was valuable.
B. His son told him it was very old.
C. His son kept saying it was important.
D. He had got a call from the museum.
7. Before David’s discovery, scientists used to think that meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs________.
A. hadn’t appeared on the earth
B. hadn’t appeared in America
C. had appeared on the earth much later
D. had appeared on the earth much earlier
C
People these days worry that courtesy(礼貌) is becoming a thing of the past. To check out the truth, US magazine Reader’s Digest carried out a study. They did three tests in 35 countries.
In the first test, a reporter walked into a public building 20 times behind different people to see if they held the door open. In the second, a reporter bought things from 20 shops and recorded whether the sales assistants said “Thank you”. In the third, a reporter dropped a bag full of papers in 20 busy streets to see if anyone would help pick them up.
According to the survey, the most impolite cities in the world are in Asia.
Asians argued that they did the study only by Western ideas of courtesy.
“How can we judge someone’s value simply by whether they hold a door open?” says a19-year-old student John Christopher Padilla, in the Philippine capital, Manila.
Li Jin, a teacher in Hong Kong, says that whenever she has visitors she serves them the best food and sees them off. Westerners, however, often allow guests to help themselves. “Westerners may think Chinese are pushy, but they’re just trying to be polite,” Li says.
“I think Eastern and Western societies have different understanding about politeness,” says an Indian university student.
“South Korea is certainly a polite nation,” says Li Binghe, a 30-year-old from Seoul. “Our politeness is more about respect, especially to old people. You always see people giving their seats to old people and offering a hand when they see someone carrying heavy luggage.”
In fact, people in different cultures have different ways of showing politeness. It is not fair to say one culture is more polite than another. Instead, we should try to understand and respect these differences. After all, kindness and respect are valued in every culture around the world.
8. What did Reader’s Digest want to find out by doing the study?
A. The truth about courtesy in different countries.
B. The reason why people paid attention to courtesy.
C. How people in Asian countries showed courtesy.
D. How people in different countries understood courtesy.
9. What does John Christopher Padilla really mean by what he says?
A. Holding a door open is impossible in Asia.
B. There are different ways to hold a door open.
C. There are many other ways to show politeness.
D. Holding a door open doesn’t mean politeness.
10. Why did Reader’s Digest get a result of the survey that Asians are not pleased with?
A. They did the survey only in 35 countries.
B. They did the survey only by Western ideas.
C They judged courtesy differently in Asia.
D. They did the survey only in impolite Asian cities.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The plan for the survey.
B. The result of the survey.
C. The purpose of the survey.
D. The argument about the survey.

Professor Kevin Warwick is an expert in cybernetics — the study of communication systems in humans, animals, and machines.
What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer? That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. “I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human,” he says.
Soon he will have an operation. A glass tube(管状物) will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits(线路). These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.
Then the experiment will begin. Says Kevin Warwick: “Pain provides a clear electronic signal(信号) on the nerves as it moves from its starting point to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the same pain?”
It is not just about pain. The human nervous system sends many other messages to the brain. The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.
This could serve many different purposes. The computer could provide eyes for a blind person. Anxious or unhappy people are often given medicine to make them feel better. But what if they could put feelings of happiness directly into their minds?
Imagine that you are thousands of miles away from your loved ones. You love them and long to be back with them. Instead of writing a letter, you store these feelings on a computer and send them to your family as an email.
Professor Warwick now believes that the success of his new experiment could lead to the evolution(进化) of humans. A human will be able to use the memory(记忆) and mathematical power of the computer. He or she will be able to communicate thoughts and feelings directly across the planet using the Internet. People have used their intelligence(智力) to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together?
12. What will the computer circuits be used to do?
A. Send messages to the brain.
B. Send messages to a computer.
C. Store messages from the computer.
D. Store messages from the nervous system.
13. What is the purpose of the messages stored on a computer?
A. To reduce pain.
B. To improve memory.
C. To improve the human body.
D. To get them back when necessary.
14. What does “the two” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Human evolution and machines.
B. Humans and human intelligence.
C. Human intelligence and computers.

A Party for a Nurse
Debby was a young nurse who worked in a children’s hospital. She was loved by all the sick children who had to be there, because she was really a kind-hearted person and treated them as her own brothers and sisters. She took good care of them and always spent time with them, comforting them and telling them interesting stories. It gave her a lot of satisfaction to know that she was bringing happiness to them and helping them to get well again.
One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course, some had to be left to look after the children, and Debby was not one of the lucky ones who were free to go to the dance. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself, though she knew she should stay with the children.
Among the sick children there was a boy called Jimmy, who was seven years old. Poor Jimmy had had a very serious illness. Now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself. When he knew that Debby had to miss the dance because of them, he felt a little sad, wondering what they could do for her so that she would have a nice evening.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
