They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 28. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________. A. carry heavy trees B. help people build houses C. carry people to different places D. help people in the war 29. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 30. How do you understand the underline part “elephant graveyard” in the last paragraph? A. A place for hiding dead elephants. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B Elephants have very poor memory. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. B I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one. About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie. Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I dicided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep. Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour(行为方式)began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned(招手)from neighbours. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing. My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour. Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown.I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog. 32. What did the man think of the dog at the beginning? A. It looked very beautiful. B. It wasn't very lovely. C. It wasn't necessary to be trained. D. It could change his life. 33. When did the man's behaviour begin to change? A. About two years ago. B. When Gertie was nearly two years old. C. When Gertie was 15 weeks old. D. About six months after Gertie arrived. 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the man's change? A. He began to smile at people B. He liked helping his neighbours. C. He started calling his kids. D. He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone. 35. What can we learn from this passage? A. The dog has been trained very well. B. The man has become more confident. C. The man has become more friendly. D. The man likes the dog better than his wife. C Sleep is a very important part of our lives. After a long day, we all like the feeling of a soft bed. We know how good it will feel in the morning after we get some rest. Sleep is also very important to animals. They also need sleep after they work hard. Some animals sleep in the sea. Fish have no eyelids (眼睑), so they sleep with their eyes open! Sea otters (海獭) sleep in seaweed (海草) on top of the sea. The seaweed keeps the otters from moving along. Most sharks keep swimming while they sleep. Some fish find a little hole in the coral (珊瑚) and hide so they can sleep. The clown fish turns on its side to sleep at the bottom of the sea. Some animals sleep under the ground! When it’s hot, many frogs sleep in a hole because they want to avoid the heat. Some frogs spend the whole summer in their holes. Groundhogs (土拨鼠) live in holes in the ground, so they also sleep underground. Foxes sometimes steal a groundhog’s home and use it as their own home. What about animals that live above the ground? Birds sleep in their nests or in trees. The birds’ claws (爪子) close when they sleep. This helps them stay in the tree. Bats sleep upside down for twenty hours a day! No matter what kind of animal you are, you need your sleep. 36. When will we feel good in the morning? A. After having breakfast. B. After taking a shower. C. After getting some rest. D. After taking some exercise. 37. Why do fish sleep with their eyes open? A. Because they keep swimming. B. Because they have no eyelids. C. Because they sleep in seaweed. D. Because they sleep in the coral. 38 Why do many frogs spend the summer in the holes? A. To lay eggs. B. To get food. C. To avoid the enemies. D. To avoid the heat. 39. How do bats sleep? A. Upside down. B. In the hole. C. In the tree. D. On the side. 40 The passage tells us that ________. A. only people need sleep B. all animals need sleep C. birds need sleep in the tree D. foxes sleep in their own holes 四、任务型阅读 Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world. Many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 41. Where was the first Laughter Club started? ___________________________________ 42. How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today? ___________________________________ 43. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class? ___________________________________ 44. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real? ___________________________________ 45. According to the passage, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, can they? ___________________________________ 五、短文填空 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式，使短文的意思完整。将所填答案填写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。 Dear Susan, I’m sorry to hear that you are not feeling well these days.

A 【解析】 【分析】文章大意：主要讲述了Teddy Bear产生的原因。是因为一个叫西奥多（泰迪）罗斯福的总统在和朋友打猎时，别人都射到了动物，他却没有，朋友不想让他伤心，便把熊绑在树上，他拒绝了射熊，他觉得不公平，大家都被他的信念所感动,并且动画片也播出了这个故事，一个人设计了一个小熊，并取名为Teddy Bear，Teddy Bear也非常流行。 【13题详解】 考查介词辨析。for为了，with和…，by通过某种方式，without没有…，根据后面several of his friends句意为，Theodore （Teddy） Roosevelt正在和他的朋友们在森林里打猎，和某人要用介词 with，故选B。 【14题详解】 考查助动词辨析。句意为，几乎所有的人都成功地射杀了一种动物，但是这个总统没有，联系上下文，前一句用了过去完成时，后面是个否定省略句，与前一句内容结构一样，因此也应使用过去完成时。可知用had。故答案为D。 【15题详解】 考查形容词辨析。sad伤心的，happy高兴的，friendly友好的，fine好的，联系上下文，总统没有射到动物，Nobody wanted to make the president look所以是大家不想让他伤心．故选A。 【16题详解】 考查名词辨析。wall墙，chair椅子，rock石头，tree树，根据前面so they tied an American black bear to 他们把一个美国的黑色的熊拴在树上。故选D。 【17题详解】 考查代词辨析。it 它；him 他的；them他们；her 她的；句意为：他们想要总统射到它，联系上文，"它"指的是上文拴在树上的熊，故选A。 【18题详解】 句意是：这只熊不能跑开，射它，是不公平的。其他三项（难的、危险的、刺激的），都不符合语境。 【19题详解】 正因为前面的想法（射它是不公平的），总统才拒绝射它。再看本段最后一句“the president refusing to shoot a cute bear”，信息更明确。 【20题详解】 考查代词辨析。Everybody每人，Nobody没有人，Both两者都，Neither两者都不，联系上文，总统认为是不公平的，拒绝了射熊，所以每人都被这个总统的信念感动了。故选A。 总统的故事传遍了全国，人人皆知。此句意思是：每个人都感动了。 【21题详解】 考查副词辨析。only仅仅，hardly几乎不，even甚至，still仍然，根据后面a cartoon showing the president refusing to shoot a cute bear应该是甚至动画片也在播放总统拒绝射杀熊的节目。故选C。 【22题详解】 考查名词辨析。company公司，toy玩具，shop商店，present礼物，根据后面He made a small，soft bear 小的，柔软的，应该是玩具，故选B。 【23题详解】 考查动词辨析。collected收集，showed展示，found找到，hid隐藏．根据后面in his shop window，应该是展示在商店的窗户边。故选B。 【24题详解】 考查动词辨析。gave给，filled充满，met遇见，provided提供，根据后面Morris with the money to create a toy company这个玩具非常的成功，应该并且给Morris提供了很多钱创建了一个公司，provide sb with sth 向某人提供某物，是固定短语，故选D。 【25题详解】 后文谈到“Teddy bear”既然是为孩子买玩具的首选，而且最后一句也说明它受到全世界人们的喜爱，可知，它肯定受欢迎。 【26题详解】 考查连词辨析。since自从，when当…时候，until直到，unless除非．本题应该是当人们给孩子买玩具时，Teddy Bear是第一选择，故选B。 【27题详解】 考查名词辨析。decision决定，speech演讲，sign标志，skill技能，根据全文大意知道是Theodore （Teddy）Roosevelt的不射熊的决定，带来了很多的软的Teddy Bear。故选A。 三、阅读理解 A Elephants are the largest terrestrial (陆地的) animals. For a long time, they have been very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 28. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________. A. carry heavy trees B. help people build houses C. carry people to different places D. help people in the war 29. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A. Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 30. How do you understand the underline part “elephant graveyard” in the last paragraph? A. A place for hiding dead elephants. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B. Elephants have very poor memory. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于大象的一些常见误解与事实。 【28题详解】 根据第一段“They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars.”可知，大象能帮人类搬运大树、载人出行、参与战争，但文中并未提到“帮人们盖房子”。 【29题详解】 根据第二段“Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard.”可知，人们认为大象难被伤害是因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。 【30题详解】 根据最后一段“People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called ‘elephant graveyard’. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories but few people really find places like that.”可知，“elephant graveyard”是人们想象中大象死亡时会藏身的地方，猎人想在这里找到象牙，由此推断它的含义是“大象死亡后藏身的地方（大象墓地）”。 【31题详解】 根据第三段“In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them.”可知，大象的视力很差，看不清楚东西。 B I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one. About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie. Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I dicided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep. Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour(行为方式)began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned(招手)from neighbours. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing. My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour. Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown.I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog. 32. What did the man think of the dog at the beginning? A. It looked very beautiful. B. It wasn't very lovely. C. It wasn't necessary to be trained. D. It could change his life. 33. When did the man's behaviour begin to change? A. About two years ago. B. When Gertie was nearly two years old. C. When Gertie was 15 weeks old. D. About six months after Gertie arrived. 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the man's change? A. He began to smile at people B. He liked helping his neighbours. C. He started calling his kids. D. He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone. 35. What can we learn from this passage? A. The dog has been trained very well. B. The man has become more confident. C. The man has become more friendly. D. The man likes the dog better than his wife. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇短文描述了一家的女主人得到一只可爱的小狗。在和这只小狗的接触中让自己家的男主人发生了改变，成为一个对人友好的人。 【32题详解】 根据got a little dog with a face only a mother could love.得到一只小狗，长着一张只有母亲才会喜欢的脸。可知他认为这只小狗不可爱，故选B。 【33题详解】 根据about six months after she arrived,……My behaviour(行为方式)began to change.描述,可知六个月后作者的行为方式发生了改变，故选D。 【34题详解】 根据短文描述可知没有提到有关帮助邻居的事情，故选B。 【35题详解】 根据短文第三段的描述，“I began to smile at people...”可知这位男主人变成了一个对人友好的人，故选C。 C Sleep is a very important part of our lives. After a long day, we all like the feeling of a soft bed. We know how good it will feel in the morning after we get some rest. Sleep is also very important to animals. They also need sleep after they work hard. Some animals sleep in the sea. Fish have no eyelids (眼睑), so they sleep with their eyes open! Sea otters (海獭) sleep in seaweed (海草) on top of the sea. The seaweed keeps the otters from moving along. Most sharks keep swimming while they sleep. Some fish find a little hole in the coral (珊瑚) and hide so they can sleep. The clown fish turns on its side to sleep at the bottom of the sea. Some animals sleep under the ground! When it’s hot, many frogs sleep in a hole because they want to avoid the heat. Some frogs spend the whole summer in their holes. Groundhogs (土拨鼠) live in holes in the ground, so they also sleep underground. Foxes sometimes steal a groundhog’s home and use it as their own home. What about animals that live above the ground? Birds sleep in their nests or in trees. The birds’ claws (爪子) close when they sleep. This helps them stay in the tree. Bats sleep upside down for twenty hours a day! No matter what kind of animal you are, you need your sleep. 36. When will we feel good in the morning? A. After having breakfast. B. After taking a shower. C. After getting some rest. D. After taking some exercise. 37. Why do fish sleep with their eyes open? A. Because they keep swimming. B. Because they have no eyelids. C. Because they sleep in seaweed. D. Because they sleep in the coral. 38. Why do many frogs spend the summer in the holes? A. To lay eggs. B. To get food. C. To avoid the enemies. D. To avoid the heat. 39. How do bats sleep? A. Upside down. B. In the hole. C. In the tree. D. On the side. 40. The passage tells us that ________. A. only people need sleep B. all animals need sleep C. birds need sleep in the tree D. foxes sleep in their own holes 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. A 40.

Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world. Many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 41. Where was the first Laughter Club started? ___________________________________ 42.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了幸福是一种感觉。微笑会让你更迷人，好的心情给你希望。影响幸福有三个因素：社会关系、工作学习以及面对生活的态度。既然改变不了生活，那就让我们尽我们最大努力把坏的情况变成一个好的。 【56题详解】 上文提到“当你哭泣的时候，只有你自己孤独的在哭。” 下文提到 “好的心情总是给你希望，使得烦恼和问题容易处理。” 从前后两句含义的转折可以推测出这里填的是与cry 相对的内容。 D项提到微笑的益处，符合此语境。 【57题详解】 下文提到 “生活充满了起起伏伏，我们不能改变生活。” 可以推测出此处是想表达生活中有不开心是正常的。C项提到 “偶尔生气、悲伤是正常的。” 符合此语境。 【58题详解】 下文提到 “和家人朋友亲近的人比没有这些关系的人更快乐。”可以推测出这里谈论与人相关的关系。B项提到的“社会关系”符合此语境。 【59题详解】 下文提到 “如果你讨厌上学……。” 可以推测出此处说是的 “如果你喜欢上学” 。G项提到“如果你喜欢上学……。”符合此语境。 【60题详解】 本段讨论对待失败的态度。上文提到“也许你觉得不公平”（消极态度），空格后说“你可能会接受它”（积极态度）。A项提到 “无法停止责备自己”是消极态度的表现，与后文的积极态度形成对比。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
