That same year, he sold his first puzzle to the magazine Venture.(当14岁的Will Shortz上八年级的时候，他必须写一篇关于他想要做什么的文章。他写了他想成为字谜制作者的梦想。同年，他把他的第一个字谜卖给了杂志Venture)”可知，威尔14岁的时候卖掉他的第一个字谜。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Will and his teachers then created new classes that studied on puzzle-making.(然后，威尔和他的老师们创建了新的课程来研究如何制作字谜)”可知，当威尔上大学的时候，他和老师一起开设了字谜制作课程。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Will then found job creating and editing puzzles for Games magazine.

There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day. 46. According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills? A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening. 47. To improve your reading, when you read you should ______. A. look up all the new words in the dictionary B. think about what you are reading actively C. spend more time studying grammars D. copy as many words and sentences as possible 48. The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”. A. hear B. discover C. meet by accident D. look for 49. The passage is mainly about how to ______. A. choose suitable listening materials B. deal with new words in reading C. become fluent in speaking and writing English D. improve your reading ability as quickly as possible 50. The author seems to agree with the view that____. A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day. C. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing. D. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.”可知，四项技巧中，应该首先改进阅读和听力，故A项正确。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.”可知，阅读时要积极思考所读的内容，故B项正确。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子及画线词后的“but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them”可知，不要费力去理解你遇到的不熟悉的单词，只要你以后再遇到它们的时候认出它们就好了，由此可知画线词词义为“偶然遇到”，故C项正确。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing.”可知，本文主要介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议，故C项正确。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.”可知，擅长阅读有利于提高听力技巧，故D项正确。 【点睛】方法策略类阅读理解的文体特点决定了其主题句往往在文章的第一句，考生们应充分利用这一特点，抓住文章主题句，例如本篇第4题，文章第一段中的“If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing.”可知，本文主要介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议。 第四部分：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I still remember my first day of second grade. I was led to a classroom. No teacher yet. Girls talking and laughing. Boys playing games. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. “What are you doing?” she said. “I am doing Fun with Number.” I replied. Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg. Her name was Lucy. From that day on we got to know each other, and she became my best friend. Now we have been close friends for more than 60 years. We often get together and recall the past. Some TV advertisements try to tell us what children need for school, new shoes, clothes, and schoolbags. But really, children’s needs are simple. Besides the basics — to be fed, cared for, and loved — they need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular, but just needed to be kind. My grandson William recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder. I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know they have all they need and that the best way to win friends is to be kind. 51. When and where did the author meet Lucy for the first time? (No more than 15 words) ____________________________________________ 52. What was the author doing when Lucy came over? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________ 53. How do Lucy and the author keep their friendship growing? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________ 54. Besides the basics what do children need for a happy school life? (No more than 20 words) ____________________________________________ 55. In your opinion, what is the best way to win friends?

They often get together and recall the past. 54. They need (the gift of ) friendship. 55. In my opinion, to be kind is the best way to win friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者二年级第一天在教室结识好友露西，两人友谊持续60余年，进而感悟到孩子校园生活中友谊的重要性及赢得友谊的最佳方式是善良的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I still remember my first day of second grade. I was led to a classroom. (我仍然记得我二年级的第一天。我被带到一间教室)”以及第二段“Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.(几分钟后，一个女孩走过来坐在我的桌子上)”和第五段“Her name was Lucy. From that day on we got to know each other. (她的名字叫露西。从那天起，我们就认识了)”可知，作者和露西第一次见面是在二年级第一天的教室里。故答案为They met in the classroom on the first day of second grade. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段““I am doing Fun with Number.” I replied.(“我在做《数字的乐趣》。”我回答道)”可知，露西走过来时，作者正在做《数字的乐趣》。故答案为He/ She was doing Fun with Number. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“Now we have been close friends for more than 60 years. We often get together and recall the past. (现在我们已经是60多年的亲密朋友了。我们经常聚在一起回忆过去)”可知，露西和作者通过经常聚在一起回忆过去来维持友谊。故答案为They often get together and recall the past. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段“Besides the basics — to be fed, cared for, and loved — they need the gift of friendship. (除了基本需求——有饭吃、有人照顾、有人爱——他们还需要友谊这份礼物)”可知，除了基本需求，孩子们幸福的校园生活还需要友谊。故答案为They need (the gift of ) friendship. 【55题详解】 考查开放性题目。根据第七段“But one day. I finally understood I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular, but just needed to be kind. (但有一天，我终于明白，我不需要聪明、漂亮或受欢迎，只需要善良)”以及最后一段“They need to know they have all they need and that the best way to win friends is to be kind. (他们需要知道他们拥有了所有需要的东西，而赢得朋友的最佳方式就是善良)”可知，赢得朋友的最佳方式是善良。故答案为In my opinion, to be kind is the best way to win friends. 第五部分：书面表达 (共1小题；满分25分) 56. 你是高一学生李华，英语学习上遇到了困难，写信向Miss Wang寻求建议，要求包含以下内容： 1. 单词多，很难记住； 2 课文太长，难以背诵 (recite)； 3. 写作有困难； 4. 听说能力低； 5. 向Miss Wang寻求学习英语的方法。 要求：不要逐字逐条翻译，可以适当增加细节，词数100左右。 Dear Miss Wang, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Miss Wang, My name is Li Hua.

B When Will Shortz was in eighth grade, at the age of 14, he had to write an article about what he wanted to do with his life. He wrote about his dream to become puzzle maker. That same year, he sold his first puzzle to the magazine Venture. By the age of 16, Will had sold many puzzles to magazines. In college, Will found that there was no traditional way to study puzzles. There were no classes offered on puzzles. Luckily, after becoming bored with studying economics, Will learned that his university offered a special programme that allowed students to create unique fields of study. Will and his teachers then created new classes that studied on puzzle-making. Will studied puzzles mostly on his own. Will did well in college, but he did not know how to get a job creating puzzles. For summer work, he joined the magazine Penny Press, where he realised that he could find work as a puzzle editor. Will then found job creating and editing puzzles for Games magazine. This seemed like a dream job because he could create new kinds of puzzles. After 15 years at Games, Will then worked for The New York Times. When he first joined, the newspaper's crossword puzzle was very difficult, and only a few readers could finish it. Will made important alterations, such as including everyday language in the answers so that many more people could enjoy it. He made the crossword puzzle more interesting for more people. 41. When did Will sell his first puzzle? A. Before he was 14. B. When he was 14. C. When he was 16. D. After he was 16. 42. When Will was in college, he . A. got no summer jobs B. did well in economics C. studied puzzles in traditional ways D. created puzzle-making classes with his teachers 43. Will thought his job at Games magazine was a dream job because he could . A. create new puzzles B. make lots of money C. help other puzzle makers D. study puzzles on his own 44. What does the underlined word "alterations" in the last paragraph mean? A. respects B. schedules C. qualities D. changes 45. The writer wrote the passage to . A. explain the magic of puzzle-malting B. tell the story of a great puzzle maker C. compare different magazines with puzzles D. encourage more people to create new D If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice.
