But that day，at least，there was no doubt in my mind what I was.I was the hero that they needed. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者留着大胡子扮演蝙蝠侠，意外地受到了欢迎，作者觉得自己是英雄。 24．What can we learn about the author after he found the job in New York? A．He was excited to earn his own living. B．He wanted to be a Batman in a birthday party. C．He knew a clown with a mustache would be attractive.

A．Because the party was not going well. B．Because people's laughter made him embarrassed. C．Because he thought his mustache was not appropriate.

A．It results in changes in their moods. B．It does harm to the body clock. C．It damages the liver severely. D．It makes people become heavier. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It can increase our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease，it can cause weight gain，and it can increase our risk of diabetes(糖尿病)．”可知，睡眠不足会增加我们患高血压和心脏病的风险，会导致体重增加，还会增加我们患糖尿病的风险，故选D项。 √ 29．What do we know about the volunteers in the second group? A．They were allowed to have the least sleep in a week. B．They could have as much sleep as possible on weekends. C．Their liver and muscle insulin sensitivity was reduced. D．Their ability to regulate blood sugar was found worsened. 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，第一组可以睡一整晚；接下来的一组(第二组)每晚只睡五个小时；第三组工作日睡5个小时，周末能睡多少睡多少。由此可知，第二组的睡眠时间最短，故选A项。 √ 30．What does the author advise readers to do according to the text? A．To sleep extra hours on weekends. B．To balance their work and sleep. C．To trade some sweets as possible. D．To get enough sleep on weekdays. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So make a date with a pillow.”及前文对睡眠不足对身体健康不利的影响可知，作者建议读者平衡好工作与睡眠，故选B项。 √ 31．From which part of a website is the text probably taken? A．Culture. B．Health. C．Sci-tech. D．Fashion. 文章出处题。本文通过实验研究说明利用周末睡懒觉来弥补周内睡眠不足对身体健康有很多不利的影响。由此可推断出，本文可能选自健康板块，故选B项。 √ D 　　High on the top of California's White Mountains，the hard conditions make it difficult for life to take root.But for a certain type of tree—and for those who have travelled here to study it—this place is a perfect place. 　　These bristlecone pines(狐尾松)are the oldest individual trees in the world. Researchers like Andy Bunn have come to learn from the ancients.“It's remarkable to sit here and have your hand on one of these trees and know that it was growing when the Pyramids were built.”Bunn added. 　　“By studying samples(样本)from the trunks，it's possible to discover their hidden history.Each annual tree ring is like a time capsule of the environment for that year from which it was formed，” said Matt Salzer，a scientist at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree Ring Research. “And it contains many different types of information—chemical information，the information on growth，and climate information.” 　　“If you're trying to look at people in the past through time，tree rings give you a way to do it in a way that makes sense in a human life，” said University of Arizona Professor Charlotte Pearson.She first became fascinated with the bristlecones after reading about an ancient volcanic eruption on the Greek island of Santorini.“It blew my mind that trees on the other side of the world could possibly be used to date this thing within a single year，” she said excitedly. 　　The oldest known living bristlecone is estimated to be over 4，800 years old.For Bunn，the climate record written in the rings offers guidance for how we might think about what's happening in the present as we plan for the future. “What we're seeing increasingly is that a lot of the climate events that we are experiencing and living through right now have no example in the paleoclimate (古气候)record，” he said.“So，we really are moving into unknown field.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国西部的深山中生长的一种松树。这是全世界最长寿的树种，其中最老的那棵树已经超过四千八百年了。 32．Why does Bunn mention the Pyramids in Paragraph 2? A．To state the trees' age is very old. B．To prove his discovery is important. C．To attract readers' attention. D．To stress the hard living condition of the trees. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“These bristlecone pines(狐尾松) are the oldest individual trees in the world.”可知，这些狐尾松是世界上最古老的树木；根据“it was growing when the Pyramids were built.”可知，建造金字塔时，就已经有这些树了。由此可推断出，提到金字塔来说明树木的年龄是非常古老的，故选A项。 √ 33．What's the third paragraph mainly about? A．The reason of the research. B．The process of the research. C．The method of the research. D．The significance of the research. 段落大意题。根据第三段中“By studying samples(样本)from the trunks，it's possible to discover their hidden history.”可知，通过研究树干上的样本，有可能发现它们隐藏的历史。因此第三段主要介绍了这项研究的意义，故选D项。 √ 34．What do the underlined words “It blew my mind” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．It confused me. B．It surprised me. C．It defeated me. D．It disappointed me. 句意猜测题。根据画线部分后文“that trees on the other side of the world could possibly be used to date this thing within a single year”和“she said excitedly”可推知，Charlotte Pearson对于自己的发现感到很兴奋、激动。由此推知“It blew my mind”与“It surprised me.”意思接近，故选B项。 √ 35．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Paleoclimate record is hard to find. B．There are lots of unknown things about pines. C．Studying the tree rings is important for climate research. D．There were frequent occurrences of the extreme climate events. √ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“the climate record written in the rings offers guidance for how we might think about what's happening in the present as we plan for the future.”可知，年轮中的气候记录为我们在计划未来时如何看待现在发生的事情提供了指导；根据“a lot of the climate events that we are experiencing and living through right now have no example in the paleoclimate(古气候)record”可知，我们正在经历和正在经历的许多气候事件在古气候记录中没有例子。由此可推断出，研究树木年轮对气候研究很重要，故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep advice for kids of all ages It is important for each child to get enough sleep every day.Here we will learn more about that.

Our opinions are various. Many people believe that we need to tell some white lies in some moments in our life in order to avoid hurting others’ feelings. However，others argue that no one should tell lies，no matter what kind of lies. They insist that everybody should know the truth about himself in any case. A white lie is essentially a lie. People may feel cheated when knowing the truth eventually. As far as I am concerned，when we tell a white lie，we had better take into consideration what the occasion at that time is and what the consequence brought by it is. 第二节(满分25分) 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。 I remember the hot summer when we discovered ice cream sandwiches at the corner store.They were ten cents a piece，a lot of money back then.I don't remember how we came to buy one and taste it，but we were mad after that.Of course，none of us had any money.Whether we rode our bikes，or played ball，or sat and played cards，we talked and dreamed about those soft，creamy sandwiches. 　　My dad worked nights，coming home to join us for breakfast，and then sleeping till late afternoon.When he came home one morning，I heard the jingle(叮当声)of change in his pants and something ugly slowly came into my mind.All day long I kept coming into the house and listening at his door.When I heard his sleeping sounds，I cracked the door and there hanging at the foot of the bed were those pants.I slipped in and took a handful of change.It was enough for my friends and me to eat like greedy pigs.And I became a hero to my band of friends. 　　That went on every day for about two weeks.I had gotten good at slipping in and slipping out，and then ran to my friends and we headed to the store. 　　One day there was no change in dad's pocket so I felt hesitated a moment，then took out two whole dollars.I had been okay with taking the change，but those dollars made my face hot.Even before we began enjoying sandwiches，my stomach felt sick.The importance and joy I had felt buying for my friends was gone.If dad knew what I had done，he'd kill me. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1： 　　 Early that afternoon，I hid myself in our basement，crying. __________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I've never done such a thing before.I felt guilty and frightened.I didn't know how my father would punish me when he knew it.Just then the basement door opened and I heard someone come in.I didn't look up，but I knew it was my father.　He came up to me and I could hear my heart beating，but I felt a hand gently touching my head.I looked up and tears came down.I said vaguely，“Dad，I...，I was wrong.I secretly took money from your pocket every day to invite my friends to eat sandwiches，and even today I took two dollars.”After that，I lowered my head again and waited for my father's furious reaction. Paragraph 2： 　　In a moment I will never forget，he said，“Son，I've known since the first day you took the money.”_______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was shocked to hear my father say so.
