【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者从少年时就梦想成为流行歌手,在经历试唱失败后仍坚持练习,最终实现梦想的故事,传递了 “坚持不放弃” 的信念。
【1题详解】
句意:我觉得成为知名歌手会很酷。
由下句“I could wear beautiful clothes and everyone would...me.”可知,少年时觉得当明星很 “酷”,cool符合憧憬的心情;boring“无聊的”、hard“艰难的”、easy“容易的”均不符合向往的情绪。
【2题详解】
句意:我可以穿漂亮衣服,而且每个人都会认识我。
明星的特点是被大家认识,know表示“认识、了解”,符合成名后的状态;like“喜欢”、find“找到”、see“看见”不如know贴合“成名”的含义。
【3题详解】
句意:他们中有些人真的很优秀,我有点紧张。
试唱现场有很多人,其中一些人水平很高,所以作者感到紧张,good符合语境;bad“差的”、short“矮的”、tall“高的”均与“紧张”的逻辑无关。
【4题详解】
句意:但我唱得很糟,没通过试唱。
根据“didn’t pass the audition”,说明唱得不好,badly 意为“糟糕地”;well“好”与结果矛盾,loudly“大声地”、quietly“安静地”与是否通过无关。
【5题详解】
句意:我很难过,但没有放弃。
根据“didn’t pass the audition”“but I didn’t give up”可知,sad“伤心的”符合情绪;happy“开心的”、lucky“幸运的”、rich“富有的”均与语境相反。
【6题详解】
句意:我坚持练习并上声乐课。
根据下文“A few months later, there was another audition. This time, I sang much...and passed.”可知作者坚持练习,practicing“练习”符合;studying“学习”、playing“玩耍”、writing“写作”均与“唱歌” 的主题无关。
【7题详解】
句意:这次我唱得好多了,通过了试唱。
根据“and passed”可知,第二次试唱比之前唱得更好,better表示“更好”;worse“更差”与结果矛盾,faster“更快”、slower“更慢”与唱歌水平无关。
【8题详解】
句意:从那以后,我开始上电视为人们唱歌,这对我来说是一份很棒的工作。
上电视唱歌是作者的工作,job符合职业语境;problem“问题”、idea“想法”、lesson“课程”均不如 job 贴合“歌手” 的身份。
【9题详解】
句意:我需要继续努力,提升自己。
固定搭配keep doing sth. 意为“坚持做某事”,此处指作者要继续努力提升自己;stop“停止”、start“开始”、forget“忘记”均不符合逻辑。
【10题详解】
句意:我很高兴自己没有放弃梦想。
作者最终实现梦想,是因为没有放弃,give up意为“放弃”;look up“查阅”、pick up“捡起”、take up“开始从事”均不符合语境。
二、阅读理解 (共两节,20 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
第一节(共 16 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 32 分)
A
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into a good college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
11. The passage tells us ______ secrets of happiness.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
12. The second paragraph tells us that ______.
A. we should enjoy the simple things in life
B. we should think about the future
C. we should read more books
D. we should make more friends
13. The writer thinks that ______.
A. everyone knows how to live a happier life
B. it’s wrong to spend time on work
C. hobbies take up too much time
D. doing good things for someone can make you happier
14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Reading a good book. B. Travelling to a foreign country.
C. Playing a sport. D. Spending time with friends.
【答案】11. B 12. A 13. D 14. B
【解析】
【导语】本文提出了获得幸福的三个秘诀:享受生活中的简单小事、保持活跃积极、帮助他人。
【11题详解】
文中依次提到“The first secret…”,“Another secret...”以及“Finally...”共三个幸福秘诀。
【12题详解】
第二段首句点明“The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.”,整段围绕“享受生活中的简单小事”展开。
【13题详解】
最后一段提到“If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.”,说明为他人做好事会让你更快乐。
【14题详解】
文中第二段提到:“reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends”,第三段提到:“ Many people go dancing or play sports.”,但未提及Travelling to a foreign country。
B
In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential(潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up.
US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are also important.
But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time. This puts a lot of pressure on Chinese students.
So Chinese students are very good at tests, but they often have trouble communicating with others.
15. Why do US parents encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities?
A. Because they think it’s good for their children’s future.
B. Because they want their children to be actors.
C. Because they think it’s good for their children’s health.
D. Because they want their children to be happy.
16. Chinese parents think ______.
A. taking part in activities is a waste of time
B. their children should study hard
C. social skills are not important
D. both A and B
17. US children are good at ______.
A. tests B. communicating C. sports D. both A and B
18. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. US parents pay attention to what their kids can do.
B. Chinese students have trouble communicating with others.
C. US children hope to become presidents when they grow up.
D. Chinese parents think social skills are not important.
【答案】15. A 16. D 17. B 18. D
【解析】
【导语】本文分别介绍了美国和中国父母在培养孩子时的不同侧重点:美国家长注重开发孩子潜能、鼓励参与活动;中国家长更强调学业成绩,由此带来了两国孩子在能力发展上的差异。
【15题详解】
第二段指出:“They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are also important.”,美国家长认为参与活动能让孩子成熟、培养社交能力,这对孩子的未来发展有益。
【16题详解】
第三段指出:“...staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time”,说明中国家长认为不学习、参与活动是浪费时间,A正确;根据第三段中“Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams”说明中国家长认为孩子应该努力学习,B正确。因此A和B均符合中国家长的观念。
【17题详解】
最后一段指出:“So Chinese students are very good at tests, but they often have trouble communicating with others.”,说明中国学生擅长考试、不擅长沟通;反向推知,美国孩子因重视活动和社交,更擅长沟通。
【18题详解】
文中未提及中国家长认为社交技能不重要,只是他们更侧重学业,D选项此表述无依据,故为错误选项。
C

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Diana为生病的母亲学做汤的故事,传递了亲情与孝心的美好。
【57题详解】
句意:Diana的妈妈生病了,所以她不得不和妈妈一起去医院。go to the hospital with her mother表示“和妈妈一起去医院”,with表伴随,符合语境逻辑。
【58题详解】
句意:在给妈妈检查完后,医生给她开了些药。after是介词,介词后接动名词,所以check要变为checking。
【59题详解】
句意:看着躺在床上熟睡的妈妈,Diana很担心她。全文为一般过去时,worry的过去式是worried,worried about是固定搭配,意为“担心”。
【60题详解】
句意:她想:如果我能给妈妈做汤,那妈妈肯定会很开心,也许很快就会好起来。此处需要副词修饰动词be,certain是形容词,对应的副词是certainly“肯定地”。
【61题详解】
句意:然后,慢慢煮大约30分钟。此处需要副词修饰动词cook,slow是形容词,对应的副词是slowly“慢慢地”。
【62题详解】
句意:学会做汤后,Diana 去厨房做汤。after是介词,介词后接动名词,所以learn要变为learning。
【63题详解】
句意:当她在等水烧开时,Diana准备了一些米并洗净。此处用While/When引导时间状语从句,表示 “当……的时候”,强调两个动作同时进行。
【64题详解】
句意:当她在等水烧开时,Diana准备了一些米并清洗干净。全文为一般过去时,and连接并列谓语,prepared是过去式,所以wash也要变为过去式washed。
【65题详解】
句意:汤终于做好了。此处需要副词作状语,final是形容词,对应的副词是finally“最终”。
【66题详解】
句意:“妈妈,该喝汤了。”Diana开心地说。此处需要副词修饰动词said,happy是形容词,对应的副词是happily“开心地”。

A
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into a good college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
11. The passage tells us ______ secrets of happiness.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
12. The second paragraph tells us that ______.
A. we should enjoy the simple things in life
B. we should think about the future
C. we should read more books
D. we should make more friends

A. everyone knows how to live a happier life
B. it’s wrong to spend time on work

In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential(潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up.
US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are also important.
But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time. This puts a lot of pressure on Chinese students.
So Chinese students are very good at tests, but they often have trouble communicating with others.
15. Why do US parents encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities?
A. Because they think it’s good for their children’s future.
B. Because they want their children to be actors.
