"You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. ___7___ you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people." ___8___ it turned out, it wasn't cancer.

It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific. American students-over 17 percent of die students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean American students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine. Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school were most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude. Alice 18 years old I used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although I felt secure with those friends, I found myself motivated to form closer relationship with non-Koreans, too. I felt I was missing out on new experiences and challenges. Paul 16 years old I have some Korean American friends, but I spend most of my time with white friends. I’m often the only Asian American in the group, but I don’t mind. What I like about the white culture is that I can be more radical. I can be as loud and funny as I want to be. I don’t see as much of that among the Asian students. John 17 years old In junior high school, most of my friends were white. After coming to GBS, my sense of my Korean American identity was restored, and I decided to have mainly Korean American friends. I feel that my Korean American friends and I mainly understand each other better. For example, we understand about severe parental pressures to succeed at school; I felt my white friends couldn’t really understand. Without belittle(轻视）the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives ate bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us better understand issues of culture relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future. 31. The passage mainly discusses . A. how Korean American students interact among themselves and with others B. why Illinois is a very special state C. how an Illinois high school welcomes Korean American students D. different opinions of the friends of Korean American students 32.

The underlined word “radical” most probably means" " A. timid B. expressive C. considerate D. sensitive 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了GBS高中的几个韩裔美国学生对交友的不同看法。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The interactions of the Korean American students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine.”可知，GBS高中的韩裔美国学生之间的互动是《亚洲周刊》一篇文章的主题，再根据第二段中的“Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude.”可知，《亚洲周刊》采访了一些GBS高中的韩裔美国学生，每个人都有不同的态度，由此可知，本文介绍的是GBS高中的几个韩裔美国学生对交友的不同看法，故D项正确。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I felt secure with those friends, I found myself motivated to form closer relationship with non-Koreans, too.”可知，Alice虽然觉得和韩裔美国学生在一起很安全，但她发现自己也想与非韩裔的学生建立更紧密的关系，也就是说她喜欢她的韩裔美国朋友，但也希望交一些非韩裔朋友，故B项正确。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“I can be as loud and funny as I want to be.”可知， Paul可以想怎么大声就怎么大声，想多滑稽就多滑稽，这是有表现力的体现，因此他说他喜欢白人文化的地方是他可以更加富有表现力，由此可知画线词词义为“表现（力）的”，故B项正确。 (B) The documentary Blood Lions shows South Africa's cruel "canned' lion hunting industry. In canned hunts, lions are raised by humans and kept in enclosed spaces on private hunting areas. Hunters can get trophy （战利品）easily in exchange for fees of up to $50, 000. There are about 8,000 ranch lions in South Africa. So the country’s hunt operators can make a fortune. Ian Michler was a lead character in the film. He talked about Blood Lions last July when it was shown in Durban, South Africa. The film has since been viewed in 185 countries. More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa. Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals. Australia became the first country, in February 2015, to forbid imports of lion trophies. It was followed by France in November, That month, Blood Lions was shown in the European Parliament. As a result, the government of Finland, Italy, and Spain decided to hold their own screenings. There are a number of other countries likely to do the same. At the same time, at the end of last year, the world's leading group of African lion researchers offered an important suggestion They advised that any analysis of the present state of wild lions in South Africa should not include its thousands of ranch lions. Wild lions in South Africa now number some 3, 000. There are around 20,000 wild lions in Africa. "The great majority of lion populations in Africa have been reduced,” says Hans Bauer, lion researcher at Oxford University Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. 'It's important to stress that South Africa's ranch lions are horror that has nothing to do with lion protection. These lions should never be taken into account in any serious analysis of the state of lions in Africa." 34. What do we learn about the documentary Blood Lions? A. It has an international influence.

More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa.”可知，《血狮》在185个国家放映，在电影节和特殊利益集团的会议上举行了50多次放映，今年，它还将在欧洲和非洲的每一次大型旅游会议上亮相，这些都证明了《血狮》具有国际影响力，故A项正确。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals.”可知，米克尔和他的团队正在进行一项全球运动，目标是结束罐装狩猎和其他涉及狮子和其他动物的冷血活动，紧接着第四段介绍了这场运动的成果：2015年2月，澳大利亚成为第一个禁止进口狮子战利品的国家。法国紧随其后，11月，《血狮》欧洲议会上放映后，芬兰、意大利和西班牙政府决定举行自己的放映，其他一些国家可能也决定这样做，这说明和米克尔和他的团队发起的全球运动取得了显著成果，故C项正确。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It's important to stress that South Africa's ranch lions are horror that has nothing to do with lion protection. These lions should never be taken into account in any serious analysis of the state of lions in Africa.”可知，汉斯鲍尔认为需要强调的是，南非的牧场狮子与狮子保护无关，在任何对非洲狮子状况的严肃分析中，都不应该考虑到这些狮子，由此可知，他建议对狮子进行正确地分析，故A项正确。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了《血狮》的主演米克尔和他的团队发起的一场全球性的保护狮子的运动，因此文章的目的是报道一个动物保护运动，故B项正确。 【点睛】本篇第4题A项的干扰性较大，文章开篇就提到了《血狮》这部电影，所以有些同学会误认为本文的目的是介绍这部电影所反映的内容，但根据第三段中的“Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign.”可知，本文只是从《血狮》这部电影入手，实际上介绍的是《血狮》的主演米克尔和他的团队发起的一场全球性的保护狮子的运动，因此文章的目的是报道一个动物保护运动。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage carefully.

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not IQ, a generally bad predictor' of success. ___38___ Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you'd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday. ___39___ It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success, Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings. Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repealing, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems-how do I get characters into a room-dozens and dozens of times. ___40___ The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It's the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we're "hardwired" to do. And it's true that genes play a role in our capabilities. ___41___ We construct ourselves through behaviour. A. But the brain is also very plastic. B. Most importantly, geniuses all seem to have a mission beyond their individual identity C. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems. D. Practicing ambitiously would be a driving force of women approaching the success. E. This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. F. Instead, it's deliberate practice. 【答案】38. F 39.

There was silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told ___4___ the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer." I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order. Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed ___5___ he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more ___6___ (worry) about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. ___7___ you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people." ___8___ it turned out, it wasn't cancer.

(A) Korean Americans at GBS High .School Glenbrook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific. American students-over 17 percent of die students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean American students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine. Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school were most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude. Alice 18 years old I used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although I felt secure with those friends, I found myself motivated to form closer relationship with non-Koreans, too. I felt I was missing out on new experiences and challenges. Paul 16 years old I have some Korean American friends, but I spend most of my time with white friends. I’m often the only Asian American in the group, but I don’t mind. What I like about the white culture is that I can be more radical. I can be as loud and funny as I want to be. I don’t see as much of that among the Asian students. John 17 years old In junior high school, most of my friends were white. After coming to GBS, my sense of my Korean American identity was restored, and I decided to have mainly Korean American friends. I feel that my Korean American friends and I mainly understand each other better. For example, we understand about severe parental pressures to succeed at school; I felt my white friends couldn’t really understand. Without belittle(轻视）the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives ate bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us better understand issues of culture relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future. 31. The passage mainly discusses . A. how Korean American students interact among themselves and with others B. why Illinois is a very special state C. how an Illinois high school welcomes Korean American students D. different opinions of the friends of Korean American students 32. Which statement best summarizes Alice's attitude? A. She feels that her white friends don’t really understand her B. She likes her Korean American friends but wants to have non-Korean friends too. C. She feels she is missing out on experiences with her Korean American fiends. D. She doesn’t feel secure in her relationships with non-Koreans. 33. The underlined word “radical” most probably means" " A. timid B. expressive C. considerate D. sensitive (B) The documentary Blood Lions shows South Africa's cruel "canned' lion hunting industry. In canned hunts, lions are raised by humans and kept in enclosed spaces on private hunting areas. Hunters can get trophy （战利品）easily in exchange for fees of up to $50, 000. There are about 8,000 ranch lions in South Africa. So the country’s hunt operators can make a fortune. Ian Michler was a lead character in the film. He talked about Blood Lions last July when it was shown in Durban, South Africa. The film has since been viewed in 185 countries. More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa. Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals. Australia became the first country, in February 2015, to forbid imports of lion trophies. It was followed by France in November, That month, Blood Lions was shown in the European Parliament. As a result, the government of Finland, Italy, and Spain decided to hold their own screenings. There are a number of other countries likely to do the same. At the same time, at the end of last year, the world's leading group of African lion researchers offered an important suggestion They advised that any analysis of the present state of wild lions in South Africa should not include its thousands of ranch lions. Wild lions in South Africa now number some 3, 000. There are around 20,000 wild lions in Africa. "The great majority of lion populations in Africa have been reduced,” says Hans Bauer, lion researcher at Oxford University Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. 'It's important to stress that South Africa's ranch lions are horror that has nothing to do with lion protection. These lions should never be taken into account in any serious analysis of the state of lions in Africa." 34. What do we learn about the documentary Blood Lions? A. It has an international influence. B. It has attracted many tourists. C. It tell the story of a lion fighter. D. It has brought the producer lots of money 35. Michler and his team’s campaign . A. was first started in Australia B. has won little support in Europe C. has achieved noticeable effects D. aims to save endangered animals 36. What can we infer about Hans Bauer? A. He suggests analyzing lions properly. B. He has seen an increase of African wild lions C. He maybe a strong supporter of trophy hunting. D. He hopes that there will be more ranch lions in Africa. 37. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the main idea of a new film. B. To report an animal protection campaign C. To encourage fanners lo raise ranch lions. D. To advertise South Africa's hunting industry. Section C Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not IQ, a generally bad predictor' of success. ___38___ Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you'd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday. ___39___ It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success, Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings. Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repealing, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems-how do I get characters into a room-dozens and dozens of times. ___40___ The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It's the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we're "hardwired" to do. And it's true that genes play a role in our capabilities. ___41___ We construct ourselves through behaviour. A. But the brain is also very plastic. B. Most importantly, geniuses all seem to have a mission beyond their individual identity C. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems. D. Practicing ambitiously would be a driving force of women approaching the success. E. This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. F. Instead, it's deliberate practice. 第Ⅱ卷 I.
