He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲) with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家) were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.

Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲替代物）. During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t“rub”as well as does soft wire cloth. Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk. According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a fury little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace（拥抱）as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.” 46. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life? A. Warmth B. Milk C. Contact D. Trust 47. After the first two weeks of their life, baby moneys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________. A. larger in size B. closer to them C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against 48. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”? A. Attention B. Softness C. Confidence D. Interest 49. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, ________. A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys B. it spends more time screaming to get rewards C. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting D. it cares less about whether its mother is still around 50. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. give the reasons of the experiment B. present the findings of the experiment C. introduce the method of the experiment D. describe the process of the experiment 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一系列的举例旨在告诉读者实验中幼猴对妈妈的依赖。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的第一句“During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.（在最初的两周里，温暖可能是猴子妈妈给宝宝的最重要的心理因素。）”可知，出生后的前两周里，幼猴心理上最需要的是温暖。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。第三段中的第一句“Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？”是本段的主题句。整个段落解释了“为什么出生两周后的猴子更喜欢布妈妈”。根据第三段的第二句“ Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. （哈洛夫妇称之为“接触舒适”的东西似乎是答案，也是最强大的影响力。）”可知，布妈妈接触起来更舒适。A. larger in size尺寸更大；B. closer to them更接近他们；C. less frightening and less disturbing不那么可怕，不那么烦人；D. more comfortable to rub against更舒适的摩擦。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.（与布妈妈长时间的“接触舒适”似乎给了婴儿信心，对他们来说，这比温暖或牛奶更有回报。）”可知，长时间与布妈妈接触会给幼猴信心。A. Attention注意；B. Softness柔软；C. Confidence信心；D. Interest兴趣。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure.（如果它的布妈妈现在被介绍到游戏室，幼猴就会冲到它身边，紧紧抓住它。在几分钟的接触舒适之后，它显然开始感到更加安全。）”可知，当幼猴看到布妈妈后，它会觉得有安全感，从而在行为上会放松，从而越来越喜欢玩玩具，而减少与“母亲”接触的时间。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读文章可知，作者通过一系列的举例旨在告诉读者实验中幼猴对妈妈的依赖的发现。故选B。 D When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party. In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的). My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband come home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this what satisfied her. We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier. Happiness isn’t about what happens to—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have , but enjoying what we do possess. 51. As people grow older, they ____. A. feel it harder to experience happiness B. associate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness 52. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6? A. She cares little about her own health. B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling. C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life. D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework. 53 What can be inferred from Paragraph 7? A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. B. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case. C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings. D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life. 54. People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______. A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress their right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy 55. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative B. Each man is the master of his own fate. C. Success leads to happiness. D. Happy is he who is content. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【详解】本文是议论文。幸福是什么？随着年龄的增长，童年，少年，成年，老年……幸福不会一成不变，时间会默默改变一切。但是真正的幸福不是在于我们身上发生了什么，而是在于我们如何看待这已经发生的一切。 1.推理判断题。通过第二、三、四段的描述“For kids, happiness has a magical quality. ”（对孩子们来说，幸福有一种神奇的特质。）“In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. ”（在青少年时期，幸福的概念发生了变化。）“For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的).”（对于成年人来说，幸福是复杂的）可知，儿时的梦想很简单，青少年时幸福的概念就换了，而成年时幸福就变得复杂了，因此随着年龄的增长，人们发现体会幸福越来越难了。故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据第五段“The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. ”（我们越享受自己拥有的，我们就会越幸福）；第六段“I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. ”（昨天我经历了一段小小的快乐时光。）作者用自己的体验叙述了作者经历的小小的幸福的时刻。因此可从第五、六段知道，作者很容易因生活中的一些小事而感到幸福。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。第七段“ I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this what satisfied her.”（我认为我那养育了14个孩子的祖母，这两样都没有。她确实有一个亲密的朋友和家人组成的网络，也许这就是她满意的地方。）可知，奶奶没有快乐的休闲时间，也没有令人满意的工作，但奶奶却有家人和朋友的密切的联系网，因此奶奶也很幸福。由此可知奶奶的幸福来自于对生活的朴素的期盼。故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据第八段“We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. ”（然而，面对如此多的选择和在各个领域取得成功的压力，我们把幸福变成了我们必须拥有的另一件东西。）可知，因为有那么多的选择、有想成功的压力，我们很多人把快乐变成了比我们所拥有的更想要的东西。而那些把幸福和财富以及成功等同起来的人，太过于看重自己拥有幸福的权利了。故选B。 5.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了幸福，最后一段阐述了如何获得幸福：在逆境中找到积极的因素以及知足常乐。故选D。 【点睛】推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。小题2.推理判断题。根据第五段中的内容可知，作者说越享受自己拥有的，我们就会越幸福；第六段中作者用自己的体验叙述了作者经历的小小的幸福的时刻。因此可从第五、六段知道，作者很容易因生活中的一些小事而感到幸福。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（共40分） 第四部分：写作（共三节，满分40分） 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 The person I call my hero is my twin disabled elder sister named Tiffany. As I reflect back on growing up I can undoubtedly say, “It was partly an unpleasant journey!” People would always tell me that they wish they had a twin but to me I never felt that way at the time. My sister is blind and deaf and is in a wheelchair. Growing up saddened me because I never had that twin experience. I was told as a child to never question life but at that time, I was young and just didn’t understand. There were times when I couldn’t hang out with friends when I wanted to, even missed out on potential jobs due to having to help look after Tiffany. However, I never felt like my childhood was being swept away. My sister had to deal with many health issues growing up, but she always saw things through rose-colored glasses. It wasn’t until we got older that I truly realized my sister was a winner. She gave me the strength to overcome my struggles. When I felt like giving up, I would just look at her and be reminded that I could overcome them. In fact, I did so many things not just for myself but for my sister as well. When I graduated from college, I asked for permission to let my sister attend the ceremony because I knew if she were able to walk and talk, she would have achieved the same goal as me. I enjoy the moments with my sister. I just want my sister to know that she brings hope to my life and I hope that I can bring the same thing to hers. 56. How did the author feel about growing up?（no more than 5 words） ___________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined part “she always saw things through rose-colored glasses” mean?（no more than 10 words） ___________________________________________________________________ 58. What did the author do when she graduated from college?（no more than 15 words） ___________________________________________________________________ 59. How has the author’s sister influenced her?（no more than 12 words） ___________________________________________________________________ 60. Who is the hero in your heart? Please explain.（no more than 30 words） ___________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Partly unpleasant. 57. She always looked at things positively. 58. She asked for permission for her sister to attend the ceremony. 59. She gave her strength to overcome struggles. 60. My mother is my hero. She always encourages me when I'm in trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者视身有残疾的双胞胎姐姐为英雄，姐姐的乐观让作者获得直面困难的力量。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As I reflect back on growing up I can undoubtedly say, “It was partly an unpleasant journey!”(当我回首成长的历程时，我可以笃定地说：“那在某种程度上是一段令人不快的经历！”)”可知，作者认为成长过程在一定程度上是令人不快的。故答案为Partly unpleasant. 【57题详解】 句意猜测题。根据画线句后“It wasn’t until we got older that I truly realized my sister was a winner.(直到我们长大，我才真正意识到我的姐姐是一个强者)”以及姐姐身有残疾却积极面对生活的语境，可推测“saw things through rose-colored glasses”的意思是“以积极乐观的心态看待事物”。故答案为She always looked at things positively. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When I graduated from college, I asked for permission to let my sister attend the ceremony(大学毕业时，我申请让姐姐来参加毕业典礼)”可知，作者毕业时申请许可，让她的姐姐来参加这场典礼，故答案为She asked for permission for her sister to attend the ceremony. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She gave me the strength to overcome my struggles.(她给了我克服困难的力量)”可知，姐姐对作者的影响是她给了作者克服困难的力量。答案为She gave her strength to overcome struggles. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。可以说：我的妈妈是我心中的英雄。每当我身处困境时，她总会鼓励我。故答案为My mother is my hero. She always encourages me when I'm in trouble. 第二节：单词拼写（每小题0.5分，共5分） 61. Don’t be too ______ (乐观的) about the result. Look out for unexpected things to happen.

B George Gershwin, born in 1998, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲) with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家) were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 41. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________. A. written about New Yorkers B. Composed for Paul Whiteman C. played mainly in the countryside D. performed in various ways 42. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman? A. It attracted more people to theatres. B. It proved jazz could be serious music. C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra. D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians. 43. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris? A. He created one of his best works B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger C. He argued with French critics D. He changed his music style 44. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost. B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported. C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin. D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death. 45. Which of the following best describes Gershwin? A. Talented and productive B. Serious and boring C popular and unhappy D. Friendly and honest C The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲替代物）. During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t“rub”as well as does soft wire cloth. Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk. According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a fury little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace（拥抱）as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.” 46. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life? A. Warmth B. Milk C. Contact D. Trust 47. After the first two weeks of their life, baby moneys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________. A. larger in size B. closer to them C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against 48. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”? A. Attention B. Softness C. Confidence D. Interest 49. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, ________. A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys B. it spends more time screaming to get rewards C. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting D. it cares less about whether its mother is still around 50. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. give the reasons of the experiment B. present the findings of the experiment C. introduce the method of the experiment D. describe the process of the experiment D When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party. In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的). My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband come home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this what satisfied her. We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier. Happiness isn’t about what happens to—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have , but enjoying what we do possess. 51. As people grow older, they ____. A feel it harder to experience happiness B. associate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness 52. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6? A. She cares little about her own health. B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling. C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life. D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework. 53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7? A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. B. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case. C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings. D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life. 54. People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______. A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress their right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy 55. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative B. Each man is the master of his own fate. C. Success leads to happiness. D. Happy is he who is content. 第Ⅱ卷（共40分） 第四部分：写作（共三节，满分40分） 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 The person I call my hero is my twin disabled elder sister named Tiffany. As I reflect back on growing up I can undoubtedly say, “It was partly an unpleasant journey!” People would always tell me that they wish they had a twin but to me I never felt that way at the time. My sister is blind and deaf and is in a wheelchair. Growing up saddened me because I never had that twin experience. I was told as a child to never question life but at that time, I was young and just didn’t understand. There were times when I couldn’t hang out with friends when I wanted to, even missed out on potential jobs due to having to help look after Tiffany. However, I never felt like my childhood was being swept away. My sister had to deal with many health issues growing up, but she always saw things through rose-colored glasses. It wasn’t until we got older that I truly realized my sister was a winner. She gave me the strength to overcome my struggles. When I felt like giving up, I would just look at her and be reminded that I could overcome them. In fact, I did so many things not just for myself but for my sister as well. When I graduated from college, I asked for permission to let my sister attend the ceremony because I knew if she were able to walk and talk, she would have achieved the same goal as me. I enjoy the moments with my sister. I just want my sister to know that she brings hope to my life and I hope that I can bring the same thing to hers. 56.
