When I was in primary school, my favorite place was the library. I was the kid who got shouted at for trying to bring home sixty books at a time because I just couldn’t decide which world I wanted to experience that week. I remember spending my weekends glued to a book, hungering to experience lives other than my own. Up until middle school, reading was a passion of mine.
Something changed after I entered high school, though. All of a sudden, reading was a task that I could not avoid fast enough. The books that I read in school bored me, and even if I enjoyed the books themselves, the repetitive, challenging homework we completed based on those books made me hate reading as a whole.
It actually wasn’t until recently that I rediscovered my love for reading. How, you may ask? Audiobooks (有声书). Last summer, I spent every morning taking long walks while listening to them, and I would find myself lost in the stories for hours. And now I'm rediscovering my passion for reading. I feel that pull again. That curiosity.
My love story with reading may have had a happy ending, but not everyone is as lucky as me. What went wrong?
What tends to happen is that students lose their love for reading because of the way many schools try to encourage children to read. For example, when a child is told to read for twenty minutes every night, they tend to read for the required amount of time and then check the task off on their list. In this way, reading has suddenly become a boring task instead of an exciting experience.
Making sure that kids keep their passion for reading will require us to rethink how we teach reading in schools and how we introduce books to children outside of school as well. There needs to be less of a focus on meeting reading requirements and more of a focus on creating an environment in which students are actually excited to read.
4. Which word best describes the author’s love for books before high school?
A. Short-lived B. Crazy.
C. Secret. D. Conditional.
5. Why did the author once hate reading?
A. She couldn’t choose her desired books.
B. High school books were too difficult.
C. She was given too many books to read.
D. Reading as a task made her lose interest in it.
6. What does the underlined word “pull” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Attraction. B. Responsibility.
C. Confidence. D. Influence.
7. What does the author suggest people do for children in the last paragraph?
A. Set strict requirements for them. B. Choose suitable books for them.
C. Give them after-school reading tasks. D. Create a pleasant reading environment.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对阅读的热爱以及学校教学方式对学生阅读兴趣的影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was in primary school, my favorite place was the library. I was the kid who got shouted at for trying to bring home sixty books at a time (小学时,图书馆是我最喜欢的地方。我曾因一次想借 60 本书回家而被批评)”以及“Up until middle school, reading was a passion of mine.(直到初中,阅读都是我的热爱)”可知,作者高中前对阅读的热爱程度极高。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All of a sudden, reading was a task that I could not avoid fast enough. The books that I read in school bored me, and even if I enjoyed the books themselves, the repetitive, challenging homework we completed based on those books made me hate reading as a whole.(突然之间,阅读变成了一项我恨不得立刻逃避的任务。学校里读的书让我觉得无聊,即便我本身喜欢那些书,基于这些书布置的重复、有难度的作业也让我整体讨厌上了阅读)”可知,作者讨厌阅读是因为阅读变成了任务,让她失去兴趣。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“It actually wasn’t until recently that I rediscovered my love for reading.(其实直到最近,我才重新找回对阅读的热爱)”以及“That curiosity(那种好奇心)”可知,pull应与“热爱”、“好奇心”相关,指阅读带来的吸引力。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There needs to be less of a focus on meeting reading requirements and more of a focus on creating an environment in which students are actually excited to read.(我们需要减少对满足阅读要求的关注,更多地专注于营造一个能让学生真正乐于阅读的环境)”可知,作者建议为孩子创造愉快的阅读环境。故选D。

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry (资源饥渴). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
8. Which of the following does the author most probably like?
A. Cycling around a lake.
B. Driving a car on the street.

A. It is unpopular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortage around the world.
C. It protects the earth from chemicals and waste.
D. It needs water and energy to keep its courses green.
10. What does the underlined word “them” in the Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Resource-hungry sports.
B. Outdoors sports.
C. Environment-friendly sports.
D. Indoors sports.
11. The author writes the passage to__________ .

【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. (有许多环保型运动。快走就是你如今可以从事的这类运动之一。)” 可知,这里的“them”指代前文提到的“environment-friendly sports (环保型运动)”。故选C。

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education such as colleges and universities is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
12. What is the main purpose of the laptop computer program?
A. To help people work at home.
B. To connect students to libraries.
C. To encourage students to surf the Internet.
D. To allow students to do schoolwork anywhere.
13. Which of the following is True about Westlake College?
A. All teachers use computers.
B. 1500 students of the college will receive laptops.
C. The laptop program receives the government’s funding.
D. Students there can do everything.
14. What’s some teachers’ attitude towards the program?
A. Doubtful. B. Worrying. C. Supportive. D. Uncaring
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Laptop Program in Westlake College B. Laptop Computers Make People Closer
C. A Famous College in Virginia: Westlake D. Computer Technology Provides Resources
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A

Guiding Children in Choosing After-school Activities
Many children today face stress from school, friends, or competition. Nina Kaiser, a licensed psychologist based in San Francisco, reminds parents that after-school activities should not add more pressure. ____16____. Kaiser points out, “Younger kids often try many activities because they are still finding out what they like — and that is normal.” So how can parents help their children choose the right activities?
To begin with, parents should allow children to join in the decision-making. ____17____. When they feel that their voices are heard, they often show more energy and excitement toward the activity.
Next, it is necessary to value each child’s personal interests. Every child has different hobbies and talents (天资). If parents force them to do something they dislike, children may feel stressed or upset. ____18____. This will make learning easier and more enjoyable.
____19____. Sometimes children may want to give up on an activity. Parents do not need to decide right away. Instead, they should talk with the child, wait patiently, and think of possible changes. Through discussion, both sides can find a solution together.
Lastly, parents should avoid putting too much pressure. Not every child will find his or her passion (爱好) right away. It is normal for children to face difficulties at the beginning, especially when they are still learning. ____20____.
A. What matters is to study something useful
B. Parents shouldn’t allow them to drop the activity
C. Another key point is to keep open communication
D. Instead, they should give children the chance to learn and grow
E. With patience and support, they will finally find what they love
F. Even younger kids can share their thoughts about what they enjoy
G. A better way is to choose an activity that fits their ability and interest

【17题详解】
由上文“To begin with, parents should allow children to join in the decision-making.

【18题详解】
由上文“If parents force them to do something they dislike, children may feel stressed or upset. (如果父母强迫他们做自己不喜欢的事情,孩子可能会感到压力或沮丧)”及下文“This will make learning easier and more enjoyable. (这将使学习更容易,也更有趣)”可知,上文指出强迫孩子做不喜欢的事的弊端,下文说明某种做法的好处,空处应给出正确的选择活动的方式。G选项“更好的方法是选择一项适合他们能力和兴趣的活动”符合语境,“适合能力和兴趣”既对应上文“不强迫做不喜欢的事”,也能带来下文的积极效果。故选G。
【19题详解】
由下文“Sometimes children may want to give up on an activity. Parents do not need to decide right away. Instead, they should talk with the child, wait patiently, and think of possible changes.

【20题详解】
由上文“Not every child will find his or her passion right away. It is normal for children to face difficulties at the beginning, especially when they are still learning. (并不是每个孩子都能马上找到自己的爱好。孩子在一开始遇到困难是很正常的,尤其是在他们还在学习的时候)”可知,上文说明孩子找到爱好需要时间且过程中可能遇困难,空处应给出家长对应的态度和结果。E选项“有了耐心和支持,他们最终会找到自己喜欢的东西”符合语境,承接上文的情况,给出积极的预期。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:我走上前,他便说起了二十年前定下的一个约会。根据空前冠词a/an可知,此处应用名词appointment,作介词about的宾语。故填appointment。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但紧接着,我注意到了那个伤疤——他正是芝加哥警方通缉的罪犯。空处作the criminal的后置定语,是非谓语动词,the criminal和want之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填wanted。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:我感到震惊不已,几乎无法清晰思考。空处修饰动词think,应用副词形式clearly作状语。故填clearly。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:思索着该怎么做,我继续听他说着,渐渐确信他是通过不合法的手段发家致富的。空处作句子的状语,think和主语I之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Thinking。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:思索着该怎么做,我继续听他说着,渐渐确信他是通过不合法的手段发家致富的。空处作that引导的宾语从句的谓语, make发生在became convinced之前,表示“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。故填had made。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:我没有透露自己的身份便转身离开,随后让一名便衣警察逮捕了我的朋友。结合语意可知,此处表示“没有”,应用介词without。故填without。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我没有透露自己的身份便转身离开,随后让一名便衣警察逮捕了我的朋友。ask sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“让某人做某事”,所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to arrest。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个艰难的决定,但无论如何,我坚守了自己的原则。空处修饰名词decision,表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰,且difficult发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。

The sun was already beginning to sink. It was Robert’s 12th birthday. But Robert was walking home alone with his eyes focusing on his worn - out shoes. Kids after school were riding by in twos and threes, ringing their bicycle bells happily. Robert didn’t raise up his head, but he knew clearly that those guys were wearing big smiles on their faces. “How lucky they are!” Robert thought to himself. He admired everyone who had his own bike. He had dreamed many times that he was one of those who were on their bikes to and from school. He really wanted a bike, especially as a gift for his 12th birthday. However, Robert was clear that his family couldn’t afford it. His parents worked hard only to meet their daily life need. Fortunately, the family lived happily together regardless of the poor condition. Robert should be satisfied with it. But he just couldn’t help feeling sad about not being able to own a bike.
When Robert got home, the house was dark and it seemed nobody was there. He walked through the silent rooms, hoping to find a sign of his family. But there was nothing, just the stillness that seemed to follow him. Just when he was about to feel sad, a soft light from the backyard caught his attention. Curious, he headed outside.

Just then, his parents came out from behind the house with big smiles. “Happy birthday, son!” they said. Robert was so happy that he hugged them tightly. He then carefully examined the bike. Though it was old, it looked well maintained. His father said, “We found it in a second hand store and fixed it up. Do you like it?” Robert nodded vigorously. From that day on, the bike became his most precious possession. He rode it to school every day, feeling like he was on top of the world. And whenever he saw the bike, he would remember the love and effort his parents had put into making his birthday wish come true.

At the middle school level, there are many academic clubs in which students can participate. Students can choose clubs that focus on an area of interest.
Mathcounts Club
Mathcounts tries to increase excitement towards mathematic achievement. It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Schools select individuals and teams to participate in competitions. Local competitions are held in February with winners progressing to state competitions and then onto the national level.
Envirothon
The Envirothon program focuses on natural resources knowledge. The ecology field competition for five-member middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, and current environmental issues. Students work and learn in middle school clubs and can compete at the local and state level.
Future Problem Solvers
Future Problem Solvers is an academic club that uses a six-step process to solve problems that may happen in the future. Students who are in the talented and gifted program, who like to “think out of the box,” or who enjoy thinking about futuristic problems may like this club. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition.
Builders Club
Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. The members learn by doing, and they learn organization, teamwork, and leadership. Builders Clubs can provide a recycling collection point, organize canned food and clothing collection activities to support local shelters, and adopt residents at local senior citizen homes, etc.
1. What is the main reason students choose to join Mathcounts Club?

B
When I was in primary school, my favorite place was the library. I was the kid who got shouted at for trying to bring home sixty books at a time because I just couldn’t decide which world I wanted to experience that week. I remember spending my weekends glued to a book, hungering to experience lives other than my own. Up until middle school, reading was a passion of mine.
Something changed after I entered high school, though. All of a sudden, reading was a task that I could not avoid fast enough. The books that I read in school bored me, and even if I enjoyed the books themselves, the repetitive, challenging homework we completed based on those books made me hate reading as a whole.
It actually wasn’t until recently that I rediscovered my love for reading. How, you may ask? Audiobooks (有声书). Last summer, I spent every morning taking long walks while listening to them, and I would find myself lost in the stories for hours. And now I'm rediscovering my passion for reading. I feel that pull again. That curiosity.
My love story with reading may have had a happy ending, but not everyone is as lucky as me. What went wrong?
What tends to happen is that students lose their love for reading because of the way many schools try to encourage children to read. For example, when a child is told to read for twenty minutes every night, they tend to read for the required amount of time and then check the task off on their list. In this way, reading has suddenly become a boring task instead of an exciting experience.
Making sure that kids keep their passion for reading will require us to rethink how we teach reading in schools and how we introduce books to children outside of school as well. There needs to be less of a focus on meeting reading requirements and more of a focus on creating an environment in which students are actually excited to read.
4. Which word best describes the author’s love for books before high school?
A. Short-lived B. Crazy.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry (资源饥渴). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education such as colleges and universities is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

The sun was already beginning to sink. It was Robert’s 12th birthday. But Robert was walking home alone with his eyes focusing on his worn - out shoes. Kids after school were riding by in twos and threes, ringing their bicycle bells happily. Robert didn’t raise up his head, but he knew clearly that those guys were wearing big smiles on their faces. “How lucky they are!” Robert thought to himself. He admired everyone who had his own bike. He had dreamed many times that he was one of those who were on their bikes to and from school. He really wanted a bike, especially as a gift for his 12th birthday. However, Robert was clear that his family couldn’t afford it. His parents worked hard only to meet their daily life need. Fortunately, the family lived happily together regardless of the poor condition. Robert should be satisfied with it. But he just couldn’t help feeling sad about not being able to own a bike.
When Robert got home, the house was dark and it seemed nobody was there. He walked through the silent rooms, hoping to find a sign of his family. But there was nothing, just the stillness that seemed to follow him. Just when he was about to feel sad, a soft light from the backyard caught his attention. Curious, he headed outside.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为75个左右;
