Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste. “I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man. “Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy. Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.” “Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police. Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked. “He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied. Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?” The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand. Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.” In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw. His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes. This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything. B. Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear. C. Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing. D. Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning. 2. What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean? A. annoyed B. made less angry C. convinced D. got over 3. What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred? A. She felt disappointed with him. B. She was very strict with him. C. She was supportive of him. D. She was afraid of him. 4. What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________. A. how angry she was B. that she didn’t cry C. that she was able to save him D. how effectively she handled Mr. Carr 5. From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________. A. was no longer a youth B. felt proud of his mother C. wanted his mother to be happy D. felt guilty and regretful for his deed 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述少年Alfred在药店偷窃被抓，母亲赶到后以冷静、温和的方式化解了危机，让店老板放弃报警。回家后Alfred发现母亲独自崩溃，这一刻他才真正意识到自己给母亲带来的痛苦，标志着他从懵懂少年向有责任感的成长转折。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段““Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child.( “随便你想怎么样。”阿尔弗雷德立刻顶了回去，故作强硬。可心底里他却胆怯得像个孩子。)”可知，阿尔弗雷德故作强势来掩饰内心恐惧。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文““I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.”(“我本打算报警，但我不想做得太绝情。告诉你儿子别再来这儿，这事我就既往不咎。”)”可知，这位女士从容温和的态度平息了店主原本的怒气。由此可知，disarmed意为“平息怒火、消气”。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.(他想象着母亲急匆匆赶来，双目怒火中烧，或许还眼含泪水。但他又盼着她能在卡尔先生报警前尽快赶到。)”可知，母亲对阿尔弗雷德的态度是失望的。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第十三段“He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.( 他丝毫不觉得羞愧，反倒为母亲的处事方式满心自豪。“她处理得太老练了！” 他心想。他跑去厨房想夸赞母亲能干，眼前的一幕却让他大吃一惊。)”可知，在药店时，母亲巧妙搞定老板最让阿尔弗雷德印象深刻。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.(他看见了自己带给母亲的种种烦心事，也留意到她苍老的脸上因操劳而生下的深深皱纹。仿佛那一刻，他才第一次真正看清母亲。)”可知，从最后一段能看出阿尔弗雷德为自己的所作所为愧疚懊悔。 A new study suggests that identical twins are not exactly the same genetically. Identical twins are two babies that come from the same fertilized egg (受精卵). Scientists in Iceland examined DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins, their parents, children, husbands or wives. “The examinations led the team to find early mutations (突变) that separate identical twins,” lead researcher and geneticist Kari Stefansson said. He is a professor at the University of Iceland and founder of the company deCODE genetics. Mutations are small changes in DNA that can happen when a cell divides in an attempt to copy itself. These small changes can influence a person’s physical appearance or control a person’s ability to fight a disease. The newly-discovered mutations show that identical twins do have genetic differences, the researchers said. The results were recently published in Nature Genetics. On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. But about 15 percent of identical twin pairs have more than that. Some may have as many as 100 genetic differences, Stefansson said. These differences represent a small part of each twin’s genetic material. But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk of some cancers than the other. In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors. Jan Dumanski is a geneticist at Sweden’s Uppsala University. He was not involved in the study. He praised the findings as a clear and important contribution to medical research. “It suggests we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model for examining the influences of genetics or the environment,” Dumanski said. A 2008 paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics found some genetic differences between identical twins. The new study, however, goes beyond earlier work by including the DNA of parents, children, husbands and wives of identical twins. Studying family members permitted the researchers to examine when genetic mutations happened in two different kinds of cells: those present in only one individual and those passed on to the person’s children. Stefansson said his team found twins where a mutation is present in all cells of the body of one twin, but not in the other twin at all. “However, sometimes the second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells,” he added. The researchers said they also found mutations that came about before the developing embryo (胚胎) split in two. Nancy Segal is a psychologist who studies twins at California State University, Fullerton. She was not involved in the study. But she called the result “heroic and really significant”. Segal added that the research is likely to persuade more scientists to rethink the influences of genetics and environment on twins. “Twins are very alike, but it is not a perfect similarity,” she said. 6. What did the examinations of identical twins lead researchers to find? A. A cell changes a lot in an attempt to copy itself. B. Genetic mutations exist in identical twins very early. C. Mutations can influence a person’s physical appearance. D. It is possible to control a person’s ability to fight a disease. 7. What might the new research tell people? A. Doctors should use different ways to deal with twin patients. B. It is no use carefully examining the genetics of identical twins. C. There may be some better methods to distinguish identical twins. D. It is not just the environment that makes identical twins different. 8. What does Nancy Segal think of the new finding? A. She thinks it is the perfect finding. B. She thinks it deserves rethinking. C. She thinks it is confusing to others. D. She thinks it is meaningful and important. 9. What is the best title for this passage? A. Studies Have, Found Ways to Influence Twins B. There Are Differences Between Identical Twins C. Identical Twins Are Not Genetically Exact Copies D. Identical Twins Come, from the Same Fertilized Egg 【答案】6. B 7. D 8. D 9. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现同卵双胞胎并非基因完全相同，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的有关发现。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The examinations led the team to find early mutations (突变) that separate identical twins(通过这些检查，研究小组发现了区分同卵双胞胎的早期突变)”可知，对同卵双胞胎的检查让研究人员发现基因突变很早就存在于同卵双胞胎中。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk of some cancers than the other.(但它们可能会影响双胞胎中为什么一个更高，或者为什么一个比另一个患某些癌症的风险更高)”；第四段“In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors.(过去，许多研究人员认为，同卵双胞胎的身体差异主要与环境影响有关，比如营养或生活方式行为)”以及““It suggests we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model for examining the influences of genetics or the environment,” Dumanski said. (杜曼斯基说：“这表明，当我们把双胞胎作为研究遗传或环境影响的模型时，我们必须非常小心。”)”可知，新的研究可能告诉人们导致同卵双胞胎不同的不仅仅是环境。故选D。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Nancy Segal is a psychologist who studies twins at California State University, Fullerton. She was not involved in the study. But she called the result “heroic and really significant”.(南希·西格尔是加州州立大学富勒顿分校研究双胞胎的心理学家。她没有参与这项研究。但她称这一结果“英勇且意义重大”)”可知，南希·西格尔认为这项新发现有意义和重要。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“A new study suggests that identical twins are not exactly the same genetically.(一项新的研究表明，同卵双胞胎的基因并不完全相同)”可知，文章主要说明了研究发现同卵双胞胎并非基因完全相同，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的有关发现。因此C选项“同卵双胞胎并非基因完全相同”最符合文章标题。故选C。 If you love beautiful scenery, then head for the national parks and monuments of Utah. Begin your trip in Arches National Park. Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland, Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the world’s largest concentration. If you’d like a challenge, try the Fiery Furnace hike. You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop-offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through. Not far from Arches lies Canyon lands National Park. The most accessible area of the park is the Island in the Sky, a huge mesa (台地). Take the drive around the edge to get an amazing view of the surrounding area. From Grand View Point, you can take an easy two-mile hike that follows the edge of the mesa. It crosses a narrow point of land arriving at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world. Farther to the north is Dinosaur National Monument. Your first stop here should be the Quarry Exhibit Hall, where you can see a natural stone wall containing about 1,500 bones from dinosaurs that once walked in this region. After that, hike one of the park’s many trails. Along some of them, you can see petroglyphs (岩画). These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D. If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area. As you gaze up at the heavens, an expert will point out and discuss fascinating objects in the night sky. 10. What does the article imply about the Fiery Furnace hike? A. It leads to one of Utah's highest summits. B. It requires very little effort to complete. C. It's often closed to protect animals. D. It has complicated bends and turns. 11. What does the expert probably discuss during the program in the camping area? A. All kinds of insect life B. Planets, moon and stars C. Native bushes and flowers D. Interesting species of birds 12. In which publication would you most likely find this article? A. Popular Crafts and Hobbies B. American Literary Magazine C. Today's Guide to Investing D. Outdoor Recreation Digest 【答案】10. D 11. B 12. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。详细介绍了犹他州几个国家公园和自然遗迹的旅游景点和活动，旨在吸引读者前往这些美丽的地方旅游探险。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’d like a challenge, try the Fiery Furnace hike. You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop-offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through.(如果你想挑战一下，可以试试Fiery Furnace hike。你必须和公园向导一起去，因为徒步旅行是一个迷宫，在陡峭的悬崖上有狭窄的岩石和缝隙，你可以爬上去穿过)”可知，Fiery Furnace hike是一个迷宫，所以它有复杂的弯道和转弯。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area. As you gaze up at the heavens, an expert will point out and discuss fascinating objects in the night sky.(如果你想露营，可以在斯普利特山露营地过夜。在晚上，参加一个在天黑后在露营区举行的夜空节目。当你仰望天空时，一位专家会指出并讨论夜空中迷人的物体)”可知，专家可能会在露营区讨论月亮和星星。故选B项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you love beautiful scenery, then head for the national parks and monuments of Utah. Begin your trip in Arches National Park.(如果你喜欢美丽的风景，那就去犹他州的国家公园和纪念碑吧。从拱门国家公园开始您的旅程)”以及第二段“Not far from Arches lies Canyon lands National Park.(离拱门不远的地方是峡谷土地国家公园)”以及最后一段“Farther to the north is Dinosaur National Monument.(再往北是恐龙国家纪念碑)”可知，本文介绍了犹他州几个国家公园和自然遗迹的旅游景点和活动，所以应是能在Outdoor Recreation Digest找到本文。故选D项。 There are human angels that appear in my life for small incidents that leave a lasting memory in my mind. One of them was a durian(榴莲)seller in a local supermarket. I couldn’t even remember how he looked like and I didn’t even know his name. I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour ac a part time fashion assistant. Having earned the money the hard way, I definitely learned to treasure every cent. On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father. I went to the local supermarket and looked around at the durian seller’s booth(小隔间)to pick a few packets of durian within my limited budget(预算). I focused all my attention on the cheapest range, which cost $5 a packet, equal to one hour of work standing around as a part-time fashion assistant. I wanted to get 3 packets for my family. The durian seller appeared and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would like to get 3 boxes of $5 durian for my father on this special day. He asked me to consider the more expensive choices. I told him I couldn’t afford them. I was ready to pick 3 boxes of $5 durian. The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. Many years later, I still remember his kindness. 13. How did the author earn his money? A. He worked as a tutor. B. He worked as a fashion assistant. C. He worked as a shop assistant. D. He worked as a fashion designer. 14. Why did the author want to buy some durian? A. The durians were sold at a discount. B. The durians were delicious and cheap. C. He was paid that day and had money. D. He bought them for his father on Father’s Day. 15. Which of the following can best describe the durian seller? A. Kind. B. Creative. C. Brave. D. Humorous. 16. What is the best title for the text? A. A Valuable Father’s Day Gift B. My First Working Experience C. Kindness Received on Father’s Day D. An Unforgettable Shopping Experience 【答案】13. B 14. D 15. A 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在超市买榴莲时，由于有限的预算只选了最便宜的榴莲，但被榴莲摊主以折扣价售卖，使作者只花了$15买了三个榴莲，深深记住这位榴莲摊主的善良。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour as a part time fashion assistant. (我大专毕业后开始兼职。我做兼职时装助理时薪只有5美元。)”可知，作者做兼职时装助理赚钱。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father.(父亲节那天，我决定给爸爸买些榴莲。)”可知，因为那天是父亲节，作者决定给自己的父亲买榴莲。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. (卖榴莲的人告诉我他会以折扣价卖给我。他拿出马克笔，调整了价格，递给我3盒，并祝我一切顺利。我的脑子一片空白，因为我只花了15美元买了3盒榴莲，原价是每盒8美元。)”可知，当作者告知卖榴莲的人自己无法负担得起更贵的榴莲，因此当卖家考虑到作者的情况后，将每盒8美元的榴莲以每盒5元的价格卖给作者，由此推断卖榴莲的人是善良的。故选A。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者在超市买榴莲时，由于有限的预算只选了最便宜的榴莲，榴莲摊主考虑到作者的情况，以折扣价售卖，使作者只花了$15买了三个榴莲，深深记住这位榴莲摊主的善良。C选项“Kindness Received on Father’s Day(父亲节收到的善意)”概括文章内容，符合标题。故选C。 Steps to communicate with your parents You might find that as you become a young adult, you begin to have more conflicts with your parents.___17___. Parents also struggle to know when to support them and when to intervene(干涉) in what they think are bad choices. The following steps will help you start conversations with your parents smoothly. ·___18___. In order to get your point across, you have to know what that point is. Spend some time reflecting on what you hope to change as a result of the conversation. If you think you'll have trouble remembering your points, write down the goals that you hope to achieve with the conversation. ·Choose the right place. The place you choose can change the conversation dramatically. For example, if you bring it up at your parent's office, they are likely to be rushed. They also might feel as though they have to rule with an iron fist to avoid their coworkers thinking they are too soft on you.___19___.This can be in your home, in the car, or even on a walk together. ·Set a date. Fix some time to have this conversation. Tell your parents that you need to spend some quality time with them, and plan on doing that after dinner one night. Setting a time will ensure that both sides are prepared to be in the same place talking at the same time.___20___. ·Keep the situation calm. ___21___. Keeping yourself as calm as possible is important. If your parents are having a hard time staying calm, take a break or just finish the talk on another day. For example, if your parents don't agree to let you stay out later, do not yell. Instead, try something like, “I feel that I am mature enough to be out until 10:00, and I hope you'll give it some more thought.” Once you start the conversation at the right time and in the right place, you can bring up your main points. Then you are willing to share ideas and listen to each other. A. Communicate clearly with your parents B. Know what you want from the conversation C. Try to talk to your parents in a calm, relatively private place D. Feelings are likely to become worse during this conversation E. They are less likely to listen to you or think about what you are saying F. Most kids feel misunderstood by their parents at some point or another in life G. This works better than just asking your parents a lot of questions when they walk in the door 【答案】17. F 18. B 19. C 20. G 21. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章向青少年介绍了和家长顺利交流的一些步骤和措施。 【17题详解】 根据空前“You might find that as you become a young adult, you begin to have more conflicts with your parents（你可能会发现，当你成为一个年轻人，你开始与你的父母有更多的冲突）”和空后“Parents also struggle to know when to support them and when to intervene(干涉) in what they think are bad choices（父母也很难知道什么时候该支持他们，什么时候该干预他们认为不好的选择）”可知，该空应说明孩子和家长之间存在的问题。结合选项，F选项（大多数孩子在生活中的某些时候会感到被父母误解）符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“In order to get your point across, you have to know what that point is. Spend some time reflecting on what you hope to change as a result of the conversation.（为了让别人明白你的观点，你必须知道你的观点是什么。花点时间思考一下你希望通过这次谈话改变什么）”可知，该段建议孩子在和家长交流的时候，首先要弄清楚自己的需求。故选B。 【19题详解】 结合标题“Choose the right place（选择合适的地方）”和空后的“This can be in your home, in the car, or even on a walk together（这可以是在家里，在车里，甚至在散步的时候）”可知，该空应该提到和家长交流要在合适的地方。结合选项，C选项(尽量在一个平静，相对私密的地方和你的父母说话)符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Fix some time to have this conversation. Tell your parents that you need to spend some quality time with them, and plan on doing that after dinner one night.

An expectant buzz (嗡嗡声) spread through the stands and over the field in the still summer air. Duncan and Bob, two friends, would go head-to-head for the gold. With all eyes on the high jump, officials quickly called a stop to competitions elsewhere in the stadium. An attentive crowd tensed for the final showdown. Bob had proved himself the better jumper. He would plant the foot closest to the bar as he reached his take-off point, and then kick up hard with the other to lift his hips, which was at the heart of a successful jump. But as that long afternoon wore on, as the two threw themselves over the bar again and again, Duncan found himself with an unexpected advantage over his friend. As a teenager, he’d helped his father, a civil engineer. Dragging all equipment over mountain ridges and down into valleys had been ideal training for a high jumper, adding to his stamina (耐力) and strengthening his legs. It was nearly six o’clock, and the two had been jumping for more than three hours — Duncan from the right side, Bob from the left. Both were succeeding on some tries and missing others, but never in a chain that would make one or the other the winner. Relaxed and loose, unaware of roars of the huge crowd, the two were feeling less and less like rivals (对手) in an intense match and more like friends at a daily practice session. As time went on, however, both jumpers seemed to be tired from the prolonged competition. Bob, long accustomed to watching his friend with a critical eye, discovered that Duncan hadn’t been conscious of the problem with his kick. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Duncan readied himself for another try, Bob walked over to him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was Bob’s last-minute advice that had helped him win. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As Duncan readied himself for another try, Bob walked over to him. “Duncan,” he said, “you’ve got to get that kick working. If you do, you’ll make it.” Surprised, Duncan quickly adjusted himself, kicking the way he’d never kicked before. He exploded upwards into the air, his arms outstretched like wings, and in one suspended, unforgettable moment, he was free of the Earth and over the bar. Bob then took his jump, taking the bar with him down to the mat. Duncan won the gold. It was Bob’s last-minute advice that had helped him win. It was a selfless gesture, and with it, Bob had expressed the highest ideals of competition. Bob would have won if Duncan hadn’t succeeded, but he never gave it a thought. To Duncan, the winning was not only a sense of achievement but utter respect for Bob. Duncan shared the gold medal with his tired friend and temporary rival who he thought was the real champion. From that day on, Bob and Duncan’s friendship would never falter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了两位好朋友Duncan和Bob在一场跳高比赛中为金牌而战的故事。比赛在夏日下午进行，吸引了全场注意。Bob以其独特的起跳技巧起初占优，但随着比赛的进行，Duncan凭借年轻时帮助父亲工作的经历，逐渐显现耐力和腿部力量的优势。比赛持续三小时，双方轮流尝试，未分胜负。随着时间的推移，他们之间的关系从竞争对手变得像日常训练中的朋友，尽管人群的欢呼声不断，他们却显得越来越放松。最终，长时间的竞争让两人都感到疲惫，这时Bob注意到Duncan在起跳时的问题。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Duncan准备再试一次时，Bob向他走来”可知，第一段可描写Bob为Duncan提供改进起跳的建议，以及Duncan听取Bob的建议，调整自己的起跳，成功越过跳高横杆，赢得金牌。 ②由第二段首句内容“正是Bob最后一刻的建议帮助他赢了”可知，第二段可评价Bob的举动是无私的，他帮助了自己的对手，以及Duncan感谢Bob，两人的友谊变得牢固。 2. 续写线索：Bob走向尝试的Duncan——Bob提供建议——Duncan采纳建议，赢得金牌——Bob让Duncan赢——Bob的无私——Duncan感谢Bob，友谊加深 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①调整：adjust/adapt/modify ②赢得：win/gain/attain/achieve ③表达：express/convey ④考虑某事：give… a thought/consider/think about 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/amazed/astonished ②成就感：a sense of achievement/a sense of fulfillment/a sense of accomplishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Bob would have won if Duncan hadn’t succeeded, but he never gave it a thought.

Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste. “I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man. “Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy. Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.” “Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police. Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked. “He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied. Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?” The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand. Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.” In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw. His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes. This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything. B. Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear. C. Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing. D. Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning. 2.

A. was no longer a youth B. felt proud of his mother C. wanted his mother to be happy D. felt guilty and regretful for his deed A new study suggests that identical twins are not exactly the same genetically. Identical twins are two babies that come from the same fertilized egg (受精卵). Scientists in Iceland examined DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins, their parents, children, husbands or wives. “The examinations led the team to find early mutations (突变) that separate identical twins,” lead researcher and geneticist Kari Stefansson said. He is a professor at the University of Iceland and founder of the company deCODE genetics. Mutations are small changes in DNA that can happen when a cell divides in an attempt to copy itself. These small changes can influence a person’s physical appearance or control a person’s ability to fight a disease. The newly-discovered mutations show that identical twins do have genetic differences, the researchers said. The results were recently published in Nature Genetics. On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. But about 15 percent of identical twin pairs have more than that. Some may have as many as 100 genetic differences, Stefansson said. These differences represent a small part of each twin’s genetic material. But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk of some cancers than the other. In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors. Jan Dumanski is a geneticist at Sweden’s Uppsala University. He was not involved in the study. He praised the findings as a clear and important contribution to medical research. “It suggests we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model for examining the influences of genetics or the environment,” Dumanski said. A 2008 paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics found some genetic differences between identical twins. The new study, however, goes beyond earlier work by including the DNA of parents, children, husbands and wives of identical twins. Studying family members permitted the researchers to examine when genetic mutations happened in two different kinds of cells: those present in only one individual and those passed on to the person’s children. Stefansson said his team found twins where a mutation is present in all cells of the body of one twin, but not in the other twin at all. “However, sometimes the second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells,” he added. The researchers said they also found mutations that came about before the developing embryo (胚胎) split in two. Nancy Segal is a psychologist who studies twins at California State University, Fullerton. She was not involved in the study. But she called the result “heroic and really significant”. Segal added that the research is likely to persuade more scientists to rethink the influences of genetics and environment on twins. “Twins are very alike, but it is not a perfect similarity,” she said. 6. What did the examinations of identical twins lead researchers to find? A. A cell changes a lot in an attempt to copy itself. B. Genetic mutations exist in identical twins very early. C. Mutations can influence a person’s physical appearance. D. It is possible to control a person’s ability to fight a disease. 7. What might the new research tell people? A. Doctors should use different ways to deal with twin patients. B. It is no use carefully examining the genetics of identical twins. C. There may be some better methods to distinguish identical twins. D. It is not just the environment that makes identical twins different. 8. What does Nancy Segal think of the new finding? A. She thinks it is the perfect finding. B. She thinks it deserves rethinking. C. She thinks it is confusing to others. D. She thinks it is meaningful and important. 9. What is the best title for this passage? A. Studies Have, Found Ways to Influence Twins B. There Are Differences Between Identical Twins C. Identical Twins Are Not Genetically Exact Copies D. Identical Twins Come, from the Same Fertilized Egg If you love beautiful scenery, then head for the national parks and monuments of Utah. Begin your trip in Arches National Park. Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland, Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the world’s largest concentration. If you’d like a challenge, try the Fiery Furnace hike. You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop-offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through. Not far from Arches lies Canyon lands National Park. The most accessible area of the park is the Island in the Sky, a huge mesa (台地). Take the drive around the edge to get an amazing view of the surrounding area. From Grand View Point, you can take an easy two-mile hike that follows the edge of the mesa. It crosses a narrow point of land arriving at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world. Farther to the north is Dinosaur National Monument. Your first stop here should be the Quarry Exhibit Hall, where you can see a natural stone wall containing about 1,500 bones from dinosaurs that once walked in this region. After that, hike one of the park’s many trails. Along some of them, you can see petroglyphs (岩画). These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D. If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area.

Outdoor Recreation Digest There are human angels that appear in my life for small incidents that leave a lasting memory in my mind. One of them was a durian(榴莲)seller in a local supermarket. I couldn’t even remember how he looked like and I didn’t even know his name. I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour ac a part time fashion assistant. Having earned the money the hard way, I definitely learned to treasure every cent. On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father. I went to the local supermarket and looked around at the durian seller’s booth(小隔间)to pick a few packets of durian within my limited budget(预算). I focused all my attention on the cheapest range, which cost $5 a packet, equal to one hour of work standing around as a part-time fashion assistant. I wanted to get 3 packets for my family. The durian seller appeared and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would like to get 3 boxes of $5 durian for my father on this special day. He asked me to consider the more expensive choices. I told him I couldn’t afford them. I was ready to pick 3 boxes of $5 durian. The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. Many years later, I still remember his kindness. 13. How did the author earn his money? A. He worked as a tutor. B. He worked as a fashion assistant. C. He worked as a shop assistant. D.

An expectant buzz (嗡嗡声) spread through the stands and over the field in the still summer air. Duncan and Bob, two friends, would go head-to-head for the gold. With all eyes on the high jump, officials quickly called a stop to competitions elsewhere in the stadium. An attentive crowd tensed for the final showdown. Bob had proved himself the better jumper. He would plant the foot closest to the bar as he reached his take-off point, and then kick up hard with the other to lift his hips, which was at the heart of a successful jump. But as that long afternoon wore on, as the two threw themselves over the bar again and again, Duncan found himself with an unexpected advantage over his friend. As a teenager, he’d helped his father, a civil engineer. Dragging all equipment over mountain ridges and down into valleys had been ideal training for a high jumper, adding to his stamina (耐力) and strengthening his legs. It was nearly six o’clock, and the two had been jumping for more than three hours — Duncan from the right side, Bob from the left. Both were succeeding on some tries and missing others, but never in a chain that would make one or the other the winner. Relaxed and loose, unaware of roars of the huge crowd, the two were feeling less and less like rivals (对手) in an intense match and more like friends at a daily practice session. As time went on, however, both jumpers seemed to be tired from the prolonged competition. Bob, long accustomed to watching his friend with a critical eye, discovered that Duncan hadn’t been conscious of the problem with his kick. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Duncan readied himself for another try, Bob walked over to him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was Bob’s last-minute advice that had helped him win. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
