What the future school will look like is difficult to make clear,but most experts(专家)agree that the school will be electronic in the future.
“Presentday schools will no longer exist in the next century,”says a report in The Age.“At that time,schools will become communitystyle centers,which run seven days a week,and 24 hours a day.”At the same time,computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.
According to The Age, the distance learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.
Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers.Teachers check messages and call students back with a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their teachers who give their lessons. Besides,all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers.
As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is a student's library, data storage(数据存储)device as well as the bridge to a wider world.Technology has changed the emphasis of future learning. Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.
1.According to the report in The Age, students in future schools will ________ .
A.mainly study online
B.study at set times
C.have no teachers
D.never go to actual schools
2.The example of Seashore Primary School is given to show ________ .
A.telephones are important in Australia
B.how future schools will work
C.every student needs a learning plan
D.students enjoy getting in touch with teachers
3.What does the underlined word“emphasis”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Lesson. B.Score.
C.Attitude. D.Focus.
4.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.The Schools in the Future
B.Great Changes in Technology
C.Seashore Primary School
D.Actual Schools to Be Replaced
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈了对未来学校的构想:现在的学校将不复存在,以后的学校将是电子化的……
1.A [细节理解题。根据第二段和第三段中的“According to The Age,the distance learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers.”可知,根据The Age的报道,远程学习将会很流行,学生将会在电脑上听老师讲课。由此可知,未来学校的学生将主要在网上学习。故选A。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,在这所学校,所有的老师和学生都有笔记本电脑。老师们通过一个特殊的电话系统检查信息并给学生回电话,学生们用电话搜索信息或与教授他们课程的老师交谈。此外,所有的课程都与各种学科相关,所有的学生都有自己的由老师制订的学习计划。由此可知,这段主要以滨海小学为例,说明了未来学校的运行方式。故选B。]
3.D [词义猜测题。根据后文“Thus,we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.”可知,我们会更多地关注孩子们的学习,而非教学。由此可知,科技改变了未来学习的重点。故画线单词的意思为“重点,焦点”。故选D。]
4.A [主旨大意题。文章第一段“What the future...in the future.”为全文主题段,该段说明未来的学校将会是什么样子很难弄清楚,但是大多数专家认为未来的学校将会是电子化的。结合后文内容可知,全文主要谈了对未来学校的构想,故A选项“未来的学校”适合作文章标题。故选A。]

I remember that it was on a fall morning that the orchestra(管弦乐队)teachers came into Miss Newell's thirdgrade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴) ,”Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good at something. I told my parents I wanted to play,and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven't been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From that piece, I learn that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now looking back on that fall day in the third grade, I realize how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers,could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I'm certain they told me that I had “viola hands” not because they were fortunetellers(算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.
5.What's the author's purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs?
A.To introduce an interesting music class.
B.To show the importance of a proper guide.
C.To offer the evidence of the author's gift for music.
D.To tell the power of support from parents.
6.According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author?
A.By developing the author's social skills.
B.By broadening the author's life experience.
C.By improving the author's mental health.
D.By improving the author's sense of beauty.
7.What does the underlined word “gullible”mean in the last paragraph?
A. Firmly opposed. B.Easily tricked.
C.Greatly affected. D. Secretly hidden.
8.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Lifelong dream, great effort
B.Happy childhood, unforgettable experience
C.Special event, sweet memory
D.Classical music, endless friendship
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一次机缘巧合下,作者开始学习中提琴,接触到古典音乐并从中获益的故事。
5.B [推理判断题。根据第一、二段可知,因为管弦乐队的老师说作者有一双拉中提琴的手,作者开始接触中提琴并从此无法割舍,下文提到作者由中提琴开始接触古典音乐并从中获益,由此可知前两段强调了正确引导的重要性。故选B。]
6.C [推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Various feelings are expressed in classical music.”可知,古典音乐表达各种情感。根据第三段倒数第三句中的“I am comforted by it when I am upset”可知,当“我”沮丧时,它(音乐)安抚“我”。据此可知,作者认为古典音乐可以成为表达情感和安抚人的工具,进而推测,它可以帮助作者改善心理健康。故选C。]
7.B [词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句“I'm certain they told me that...in our district.(我确定他们告诉我我有一双‘中提琴手’不是因为他们是算命师,而是因为在我们这个地方缺中提琴演奏者。)”并结合画线词所在的句子可以判断,作者轻信了别人说的自己有演奏中提琴的天赋这件事,故画线词意为“易受骗的”。A项意为“强烈反对的”;C项意为“受到巨大影响的”;D项意为“秘密隐藏的”,三项均与语境不符。故选B。]
8.D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了作者如何与古典音乐结缘并把它作为一生的朋友的故事。故D项正确。故选D。]

[语篇解读] 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何提高我们的好奇心。
1.G [根据上文“Buried in the same daily routines and familiar surroundings, some people may lead an unhappy life.(陷在同样的日常生活和熟悉的环境中,一些人可能会过着不快乐的生活。)”可知,上文告诉我们同样的日常生活和熟悉的环境会让人们感到枯燥,G项“但是,如果我们增加好奇心,我们可以获得幸福和更多生活的意义。”能够承接上文,日常生活和熟悉的环境会让人们感到枯燥,但我们可以通过增加好奇心来改善这种情况。故选G。]
2.D [根据上文“You should communicate with others.There is a todo list in Leonardo da Vinci's notebook.Out of the fifteen tasks on the list, at least eight involve consulting with others.Montaigne once wrote how traveling to different countries allows us to ‘polish our brains’.(你应该与他人沟通。莱昂纳多·达·芬奇的笔记本里有一张待办事项清单。在清单上的十五项任务中,至少有八项涉及与他人协商。蒙田曾写道,到不同的国家旅行可以让我们‘擦亮大脑’。)”可知,上文告诉我们与他人沟通和旅行可以让我们保持好奇心,并列举了莱昂纳多的例子,D项“这就是莱昂纳多擦亮大脑以保持好奇心的方式。”能够承接上文,上文介绍的正是莱昂纳多保持好奇心的方法。故选D。]
3.E [根据上文“Why not visit a library? It allows us to meet other unexpected information.You can enter it without purpose.(为什么不去图书馆呢?它允许我们遇到其他意想不到的信息。你可以毫无目的地进入它。)”可知,上文告诉我们可以通过去图书馆来提高好奇心,E项“让书架上的书或东西不受限制,以吸引你的眼球。”能够承接上文,我们可以去图书馆,让书架上的书或东西吸引我们的眼球,激发我们的好奇心。故选E。]
4.F [根据下文“With ideas stored in mind, you can mix and remix ideas and themes, making new findings and spotting unusual patterns, until a creative breakthrough is achieved, which strengthens your curiosity.Anyone stopping learning facts for himself because he can search online later is making himself stupid.(有了头脑中存储的想法,你可以混合和合成想法和主题,做出新的发现,发现不寻常的模式,直到实现创造性突破,从而增强你的好奇心。任何人因为可以稍后在网上搜索而停止自己学习事实,都是在让自己变得愚蠢。)”可知,本段内容告诉我们要想增加好奇心,我们要学会自己思考问题,而不是在网上搜索答案,F项“总是思考想法而不是在网上搜索起着重要作用。”能够概括段落主旨。故选F。]
5.C [根据上文“Don't just focus on puzzles but on mysteries.Puzzles have clear answers.Once the missing information is found, it's not a puzzle anymore, with curiosity fading away.(不要只关注智力游戏,还要关注不解之谜。智力游戏有明确的答案。一旦丢失的信息被发现,它就不再是一个谜,好奇心也随之消失。)”可知,上文告诉我们不要只关注智力游戏,还要关注不解之谜,并介绍了智力游戏在激发好奇心上的局限性,C项“不解之谜中有一些无法明确回答的问题。”能够承接上文,介绍了什么是不解之谜,且能引起下文,不解之谜中有一些无法明确回答的问题,因为不解之谜的答案往往取决于一组复杂的因素,既有已知的,也有未知的。故选C。]
Ⅲ.语法填空

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,作者讲述了联合国确立的普通话日以及普通话在世界上的普及情况。
1.was observed [考查时态和语态。依据本句中的时间状语“in 2010”可知,此句应用一般过去时,又因observe与主语之间是被动关系,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was observed。]
2.As [考查介词。作为世界上使用最广泛的语言,每年有一天专门用于(庆祝)普通话似乎是很恰当的。As在这里表示“作为”。故填As。]
3.officially [考查副词。联合国正式确定普通话的节日是为了庆祝该语言的历史和对世界的贡献。这里用副词officially修饰形容词marked。故填officially。]
4.contributions [考查名词的数。contribution作“贡献”讲时为可数名词,其前无限定词,故填contributions。]
5.to celebrate [考查非谓语动词。人们希望通过每年有一天庆祝普通话的活动能鼓励世界上更多的人学习普通话。本句考查了have some time to do...的句式,故填不定式to celebrate。]
6.largest [考查形容词最高级。句中的likely表示推测,再结合语境及空前的the可知,这里用large的最高级。故填largest。]
7.falls [考查时态。此处描述一般情况,故用一般现在时。fall on意为“(节日等)适逢(某日)”,又因主语为第三人称单数,故填falls。]
8.involved [考查形容词。get involved表示“参与;卷入”,其中get为连系动词,involved为形容词作get的表语,故填involved。]
9.that/which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词Confucius Institutes,空处在句中作主语,故填that/which。]
10.the [考查冠词。on the increase“在增长中”,是固定搭配,故填定冠词the。]
