Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”
According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.
8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?
A. It is meaningful in the long term.
B. It makes people become lazy.
C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.
D. It affects our body and mind.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.
B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button?
D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。很多人习惯于早上设置闹钟,并在闹钟响起后再睡一会儿,文章讲述了这种做法的坏处,并给出了科学的作息方案。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.”可知,根据社交媒体上的小调查,按下小睡按钮是很多人都有的习惯,与B选项含义一致。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy.”可知,在一些睡眠专家看来,起床后小睡会迷惑身体和大脑,D选项“它会影响身体和大脑”含义一致。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle.”可知,作者给出的利用好闹钟的建议是,养成健康的睡眠周期,与A选项“养成良好的睡眠习惯”含义一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。总览全文,主要围绕“snooze button”展开,文章先是引出了起床后小睡这种现象,继而引用专家和研究人员的观点指出其弊端所在,最后作者给出了合理的建议,C选项“你应该依赖小睡按钮吗?”切合主题,适合作为标题。故选C项。
【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型——引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化。第4小题对于标题的判断中,A选项“早晨保持清醒的办法”,B选项“小睡按钮和人们的性格”,D选项“如何避免浅睡模式”都不能如实准确反映文章主题,由此也可以确定正确答案。
D
Compared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof(冷漠的)with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent(无动于衷的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.
Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions(互动)at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.
In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved(进化)to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”, your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”
12. What did the recent study find about cats?
A. Cats can recognize their names. B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs. D. Cats are willing to follow orders.
13. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. were limited to B. were different from
C. were similar to D. were away from
14. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?
A. They associate words with punishments.
B. They want to protect themselves from harm.
C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.
D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.
B. Interaction with your cats is very important.
C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.
D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。最近发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一项研究表明猫咪能听懂人类呼唤其名字。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.(日本科学家发现,如果主人经常叫猫的名字,猫也能辨认出来。)”可知,最近的研究发现猫可以识别它们的名字。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns(他们播放了主人说五个单词的录音:前四个单词是随机名词)”和后半句“while the final word was the cat’s name.(而最后一个词是猫的名字。)”可知,前四个随机的名词类似于它们的名字,所以resembled为“与……相似;像”之意。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.(据研究合著者齐藤惇(Atsuko Saito)说,猫已经进化到不再把表达情感作为一种生存方法。齐藤解释说,其中一个例子是疾病,它们倾向于隐藏疾病,因为“在野外,没有人能拯救它们”,而捕食者更有可能注意到它们。)”可推断,猫对它们的主人显得疏远的原因是它们想保护自己,避免受到伤害。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us.(然而,科技可以帮助缩小我们和猫之间的交流差距。)”可推断,在科技的帮助下,我们可能会更好地了解猫。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
I walked into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I picked up a menu, trying to decide what to eat.”Excuse me. Is your name Roger?” asked someone, who touched me on the shoulder. I looked up and turned to the side to see a rather nice looking woman standing before me. “Yes.” I replied, looking rather confused as I had never seen the woman before.
“My name is Barbara and my husband is Tony. He is from George High School.” she said, pointing to a distant table near the door. I looked in the direction but I did not recognize the man who was sitting alone at the table, with a wheelchair (轮椅) around the corner.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring a bell.”I said.
She turned and walked back to her table. She and her husband immediately began talking and once in a while looked directly at me.
I sat there, thinking hard and tried to remember who this Tony guy was. “I must know him, “I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up my coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, it came to me like a flash lightning.
“Tony. THE BULLY (校园霸凌者). The bully of my seventh grade geography class.” I said to myself. I turned around and faced in his direction.
How many times that guy had made fun of my big ears in front of girls? How many times he called me “four-eyed toad”? How many times he pushed me up against the lockers just to make himself look like a big man to all the other students?
He raised his hand and waved at me. I smiled, returned the wave and turned back and began to eat my breakfast.
“Goodness. He’s so thin now. Not the big guy that I remembered,” I thought to myself.
Paragraph 1 :All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 : “Could you help me get into the wheelchair?” asked Tony.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened. Tony had accidentally hit several plates and knocked them off the table. Tony and his wife looked very embarrassed. They apologized over and over again towards the waitress. They looked so helpless that I got up and went over. I helped his wife pick up the broken dishes from the ground. To my great surprise, I found from the waist down, Tony had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless.
“Could you help me get into the wheelchair?” asked Tony. “No problem” I said. I reached around his waist and carefully raised him up into the wheelchair. “You remember. Don’t you?” he said, looking directly into my eyes. “Yes, I do,” I smiled. “I guess you’re thinking “What goes around comes around”, he said, softly. “No, never, Tony,” I said. I found tears in his eyes. I handed my name card to him. “Give me a call sometimes. We’ll do lunch,” I told him. We both laughed.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了“我”在餐厅偶遇儿时欺凌者Tony的故事。起初“我”不认识他,后认出他是当年校园霸凌者。目睹他因车祸失去下半身行动能力,感到愧疚。他请求“我”帮他回轮椅,并感慨“善有善报,恶有恶报”,最终“我”帮助了他,两人化解了恩怨。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然我听到碟子打碎的声音,于是我转过身去看发生了什么事。”可知,第一段可描写Tony不小心打翻了盘子。
②由第二段首句内容“‘你能帮我坐上轮椅吗?’Tony问。”可知,第二段可描写Tony请求作者帮助他坐上轮椅,作者告诉Tony,自己认出他来了。
2.续写线索:
饭店吃饭——一个女人过来打招呼,问作者是否记得自己丈夫——作者告诉女人没有想起她的丈夫是谁——女人回到自己的座位——作者想起来女人的丈夫是以前上学时欺凌自己的同学
3.词汇激活行为类
①击打:hit/strike
②递给某人某物:hand sth. to sb./pass sth. to sb.
③记得:remember/recall
情绪类
①尴尬的:embarrassed/awkward
②使我惊讶的是:to my surprise/to my astonishment
【点睛】[高分句型1]. They looked so helpless that I got up and went over.(运用了so...that…引导结果状语从句)
[高分句型2]. “You remember. Don’t you?” he said, looking directly into my eyes.(运用了现在分词作状语)

Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.
“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”
According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.
8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?
A. It is meaningful in the long term.
B. It makes people become lazy.
C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.
D. It affects our body and mind.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.
B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button?
D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?
D
Compared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof(冷漠的)with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent(无动于衷的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.
Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions(互动)at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.
In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved(进化)to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”, your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”
12. What did the recent study find about cats?
A. Cats can recognize their names. B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs. D. Cats are willing to follow orders.
13. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. were limited to B. were different from
C. were similar to D. were away from
14. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?
A. They associate words with punishments.
B. They want to protect themselves from harm.
C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.
D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.
B. Interaction with your cats is very important.
C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.
D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.

注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
I walked into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I picked up a menu, trying to decide what to eat.”Excuse me. Is your name Roger?” asked someone, who touched me on the shoulder. I looked up and turned to the side to see a rather nice looking woman standing before me. “Yes.” I replied, looking rather confused as I had never seen the woman before.
“My name is Barbara and my husband is Tony. He is from George High School.” she said, pointing to a distant table near the door. I looked in the direction but I did not recognize the man who was sitting alone at the table, with a wheelchair (轮椅) around the corner.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring a bell.”I said.
She turned and walked back to her table. She and her husband immediately began talking and once in a while looked directly at me.
I sat there, thinking hard and tried to remember who this Tony guy was. “I must know him, “I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up my coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, it came to me like a flash lightning.
“Tony. THE BULLY (校园霸凌者). The bully of my seventh grade geography class.” I said to myself. I turned around and faced in his direction.
How many times that guy had made fun of my big ears in front of girls? How many times he called me “four-eyed toad”? How many times he pushed me up against the lockers just to make himself look like a big man to all the other students?
He raised his hand and waved at me. I smiled, returned the wave and turned back and began to eat my breakfast.
“Goodness. He’s so thin now. Not the big guy that I remembered,” I thought to myself.
Paragraph 1 :All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 : “Could you help me get into the wheelchair?” asked Tony.
