参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
It was a long trip back to the office.I picked up
the wastebasket and poured the contents on my desk.I
was carefully sorting it all out.After removing the dirt
off and spraying the whole thing with breath freshener
to kill the smell of food.I carefully smoothed out the
bag and put the treasures inside.I carried the whole
thing home gingerly,like an injured kitten.That
evening,I returned it to Molly.After dinner,I asked
Molly to tell me about the stuff in the bag,and so she
took it all out a piece at a time and placed the objects in
a row on the dining room table.Everything had a story,
a memory,or was attached to dreams and imaginary
friends.I managed to say"I see"very wisely several
times.And,as a matter of fact,I did see.
Paragraph 2:
To my surprise,Molly gave the bag to me once
again several days later.The same bag and same stuff
inside.I felt forgiven,and trusted and loved.And a
little more comfortable wearing the title of father.Over
several months,the bag with the note in went with me
from time to time.In time Molly turned her attention to
other things.She found other treasures,lost in new
games,and grew up.I was left holding the bag.She
gave it to me one morning and never asked for its
return.And so I have it still.

第一节
A
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了上个月
在洛衫矶的联合车站,一块牌子上用别针别满了美元,
上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所需要的”。这样
的活动吸引了各种各样的人,组织者希望通过这样的活
动来提倡仁慈和同情。
l.C词义猜测题。由第一段“But at Union Station in
Los Angeles last month,a board went up with dollar
bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read,
‘Give What You Can,Take What You Need.,”可知,
但是上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站,一块牌子上用别针
别满了美元,上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所
需要的。”所以通过下文的语境,判断出第一段中的
“Money with no strings attached”是“无条件提供的
钱”的意思。故C选项正确。
2.B推理判断题。由第二段“‘People of all ages,
races,and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds
gave and took,'said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox,
which created the project.'We even had a bride in
her wedding dress come up to the board and take a
few dollars.”可知,发起该项活动的泰勒·布里奇斯
说:“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和
索取。”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到了牌子前,拿
走了一些线。所以通过泰勒·布里奇斯所说的,可以
判断出,他提到新娘就是想说明这项活动吸引了各种
各样的人。故B选项正确。
3.D细节理解题。由倒数第二段“While the clip might
look like part of a new ad campaign,Bridges said the
only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.
知,尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告活动的一
部分,但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出
慷慨和同情。所以布里奇斯实施这个活动是为了提
倡仁慈和同情。故D选项正确。
B

欢运动到喜欢运动的经历,说明只要尝试,总会找到适
合自己的运动。

体育课,不擅长运动,经常找理由不上体育课和最后
一段的第一句可知选项A正确。
5.D细节理解题。第一段提到作者不喜欢团队运动,
是因为感到自己做不好会让队员们失望,再根据第二
段作者上大学之后喜欢功夫,因为功夫不是团队运
动,不会因为自己做不好影响他人而感到内疚。
6.C细节理解题。通读全文可知,作者不喜欢团队运
动是因为害怕自己做不好而使其他队员失望,而格斗
运动则正好符合作者的心愿。
7.D标题归纳题。作者讲述了自己是如何从青少年时
期不爱运动到上大学之后爱上运动的,故选项D符合
题意。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了火星上有水的
迹象,进而推断火星上可能有生命,但是水的来源仍旧

好像有含盐的小溪在流动)”可知,火星上好像有盐
水。故选A。

water is a mystery.(水的来源是个谜)”可知,科学家
还不确定水的来源。故选B。

where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees
Fahrenheit.But salt can lower the freezing point of
water and melt ice.(即使在夏天火星也极其寒冷,在
温度达到零下10华氏度的地方水纹还存在。但是
盐可以降低水的结冰,点并融化冰)”可知,水里的盐
决定了火星上液体水的存在。故选D。
1l.A标题归纳题。根据第-段中的“Mars appears to
be flowing with small streams of salty water(火星上
好像有含盐的小溪在流动)”可知,“在火星看到的溪
水”适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
【语篇解读】语篇类型是说明文,主题语境是人与社会
之文学、艺术与体育。本文是一篇书评,此书主要介绍
了电吉他发明和推广的两大功臣。而作者赞美了书籍
作者的写作技巧和在音乐方面的专业性。
l2.D推理判断题。根据第一段的“the Stratocaster
not only redefined the sound of American music,but
also immediately became an astonishing piece of
design.”以及下文描述的Stratocaster是Fender将
原有的电吉他的外形进行了改进后制造出来的情况
可知,Stratocaster的音色不仅重新定义了美国音乐,
它本身也是一件令人吃惊的设计品。可见它是因其
独特的声音和外形而闻名的。
l3.C细节理解题。根据第三段的“What they shared
was that they both dared to try out crazy ideas.They
were'untrained men who could build or fix almost
anything',Port observes.”可知,Fender和Paul都是
乐于将想法付诸实践的人。
14.C推理判断题。根据最后一段的“This book

Port在书中所展现的专业知识。
15.A推理判断题。阅读全文可知,本文是一篇书评」
首段通过讨论人们常见的电吉他形象引出话题,第
二段简要介绍书的作者和内容,第三段又回到书中
主要呈现的人物,最后一段从写作风格和专业性上
赞扬了这本书。由此推知,此文的主要目的是为了
推荐这本书。

【语篇解读】这是一篇关于住旅馆时怎样省钱或住得
更舒服的说明文。
l6.G根据上文“When determining which hotel has the
best deal,you don't just want to look at the nightly
rate any more..”中的the nightly rate是一个factor,
与G项中的other factors相呼应。故选G项。
l7.E根据下文“Suites offer more space and often have
bedrooms..”中的more可知是把套房和单间进行
对比,所以前面应该有比较,且根据小标题“Upgrade
your room to a suite.”中的Upgrade可知E项符合
语境。
18.A根据其他小标题的特征可知答案在A与B之
间,又根据下文讲的是corner rooms可知答案为A。
l9.D前文出现了corner rooms,与D项中的these
rooms是互指的,且D项中的ask与小标题吻合。故
选D项。
20.F根据小标题可知本段讲的是避开周末可以省钱,
F项中说到有时周五、周六的价格是周日到周四的三
倍。故选F项。

过自己的努力,使得智商不高的儿子成为栋梁,不能不
使人沉思。
21l.A从句意看应是因果关系,所以用because。
22.C大家嘲笑Bn,显然是因为他反应比较迟钝,四
个选项只有C符合题意。
23.B从后面的一段话中我们不难得知,是她决定亲自
指导她的儿子。故选B。
24.C本句句意:母亲叫他到图书馆读…根据后面的

book..”可知,是book。
25.A根据文义可知,是在课堂上。
26.D从上文可知,老师让他发言。
27.D根据文义可知,Ben举手想回答老师的提问,而
他一向迟钝,这很反常。故选D。

的事。故选C。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一位学生长途
跋涉给老师带来沙漠里的清泉,虽然泉水由于装在皮水
壶里时间太长而变得味道苦涩,但是它承载的爱和善良
却让老师深受感动。
36.traveling考查非谓语动词。句意:一个年轻人在穿
越沙漠的时候,遇到一潭清水。此处为while引导的
时间状语从句的省略,完整的从句应为while he was
traveling through a desert,省略时应该将主语和be
动词同时省略,即省略he was。
37.who/that考查定语从句。句意:他把他的皮容器
装满水,这样他可以带些回去给做过他老师的老人。
这里是定语从句,先行词是an elder,在定语从句中
作主语。
38.for考查固定短语。句意:老师对学生带回的水表
示感谢。thank sb.for sth..意为“就…感谢某人”。
39.left考查时态。句意:这个学生走后,老师让另外
一个学生品尝从沙漠带回的水。因为这个学生离开
是过去的事情,所以谓语动词应使用一般过去时。
40.saying考查非谓语动词。句意:他把水吐出来,说
它太难喝了。本句中的动词say与句子主语he构成
主谓关系,所以使用现在分词的形式作伴随状语,表
示动作与spt同时发生。
41.to like考查固定用法。句意:为什么你假装喜欢它呢?
pretend to do sth.是固定用法,意为“假装做某事”。
42.simply考查词性转换。句意:水只不过是装着善意
和爱的容器。此处需填入副词在句中作状语。
43.sweeter考查形容词比较级。句意:没什么能比它
更甜了。因此使用形容词的比较级形式。否定词和
比较级连用表示最高级的含义。
44.t考查代词。句意:无论这种礼物是一个廉价的烟
斗还是一条贵重的钻石项链。此处需填入代词作主
语,指代上文提到的礼物,再根据表语a cheap pipe
or a diamond necklace是单数可知,使用it代替
礼物。
45.appreciation考查词性转换。句意:无论这种礼物
是一个廉价的烟斗还是一条贵重的钻石项链,对之
作出的适当的反应就是欣赏。此处需要填入名词作
表语。

Dear Tom,
The annual"Global Youth Service Day"is aimed at
cultivating young people's love of service.On that day,
my classmates and I went to the nearby nursing home
and had a meaningful experience there.
Upon arrival,we had a free talk with the elderly
residents,telling them our anecdotes and listening to
theirs.At noon,we had a buffet lunch together in the
cafeteria.While enjoying the meal,some talented
students gave a wonderful folk dancing performance,
making the elderly laugh and clap excitedly.With the
meal over,we hugged each other and said goodbye.
We appreciate participating in this activity,which
has helped to build an emotional connection between the
old and the young.In fact,if everyone could contribute a
little,our community would definitely have a brighter
future!
Looking forward to your reply.

As a teenager,I hated Physical Education lessons.I was not very good at sports,and

When I started university,I decided to try kung fu.To my surprise,I loved it!It was
a friendly club,and in my first year most of us were beginners.I used to go two or three
times a week to train.Because it is not a team sport,I didn't feel guilty (about not
being very good.And because it is a combat (sport,you train in pairs,which means
that you get to meet people and talk to them.When I was doing kung fu,I got stronger
and quicker.Unluckily,in the last year of university I was too busy to do kung fu most of
the time.
When I moved to Italy this year I decided to start doing a combat sport again.I found a
great local club that does mixed martial arts(综合格斗)and I love it.The club is more
serious than the one at my university and we do lots of practice fights.It is very fun.

Mars (appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water,at least in the
summer,scientists reported Monday."It suggests that it would be possible for there to be
life today on Mars,"NASA's science mission chief,John Grunsfeld,said at a news
conference on September 28,2015.
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long,scientists said.
"What we're dealing with is wet soil,thin layers of wet soil,not standing water,said
Aifred Mcewen of the University of Arizona at Tueson,the principal scientist for the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is essential to life,the findings could have major implications for
the possibility of Martian life.The researchers said further exploration is needed to
determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living
on Mars.Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel.
NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark,narrow streaks (on the
surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest
of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer,and the streaks are in places where the
temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit.But salt can lower the freezing point
of water and melt ice.
The source of the water is a mystery.Scientists noted it could be melting ice.It could
be an underground aquifer,which is rock or sand that can hold water.It is possibly water
vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere.Or it may be a combination.Michael Meyer,lead
scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program,said the only definitive way for now to
determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth-
something a U.S.lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
8.According to John Grunsfeld,there seems to be
on Mars.
A.salty water
B.standing water C.rocket fuel
D.human beings
9.Scientists are uncertain about the
of the water on Mars.
A.state
B.source
C.temperature
D.taste
10.What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A.The distance from the sun.
B.The favorable climate.
C.The gravity of the Earth.
D.The salt in it.

11.What would be the best title for the passage?

Asked to picture an electric guitar,most people will immediately bring to mind Leo
Fender's most famous model-the Stratocaster.Upon its introduction in 1954,the
Stratocaster not only redefined(重新定义)the sound of American music,but also
immediately became an astonishing piece of design.Many musicians found Fender's first
model,the Telecaster,clumsy,so he simply improved the instrument,making its shape fit a
player's body.For Fender,form followed function as naturally as morning followed night.
You can learn more about electric guitars from The Birth of Loud.Ian S.Port's book
is a vivid account of the careers of Fender and his main competition,Les Paul,the star
guitarist.The book explores the two men's rise with extraordinary skills and authority.
Although they would be forever linked in their fame,they were in many ways
opposites.Fender was silent and could often be found working in his laboratory until late at
night,while Paul was a showman,a musical and technical whiz()who was one of the
biggest stars before the age of rock'n'roll pop.What they shared was that they both dared
to try out crazy ideas.They were"untrained men who could build or fix almost anything",
Port observes.
This book reflects Port's ability to marry an anecdotal writing style to a musician's
ear.Describing sound is extraordinarily difficult.I myself have played electric guitars
designed by Fender and Paul for many years,and Port's descriptions of their different
sounds are the most accurate I have ever read.Port's writing skills are shown clearly when
he describes Hendrix's famous performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner"at Woodstock in
1969,which pushed rock guitar playing to a height it may never again reach.Port wisely
ends his book here.The story of these instruments is the story of America from 1945 to the
l960s:loud,cocky(自大的),aggressively new.
12.What is Stratocaster famous for?
A.Its main functions.
B.Its wide application.
C.Its professional designer.
D.Its unique sound and form.
13.What similarity did Fender and Paul share?
A.Having a bright personality.
B.Earning a reputation as a pop star.
C.Being ready to put ideas into practice.
D.Concentrating on rock'n'roll all their life.
7-4
14.Which is a distinguishing feature of the book according to the author?
A.It combines music with history.

Does it seem that hotel costs just go up and up?It's true that they rise each year,
sometimes significantly.When determining which hotel has the best deal,you don't just
want to look at the nightly rate any more.16 Here are some tips to help you make the
best decision.
Upgrade your room to a suite.
17 Suites offer more space and often have bedrooms,so everyone isn't crammed in
the same small space and adults don't have to go to bed early in order not to wake up their
kids when their kids'bedtime rolls around.

A long time ago,a Monk()set out on his travels accompanied by his assistant,a
Brother.Night was falling when the Monk told the Brother to go on ahead to find
accommodation.The Brother searched the deserted landscape until he found a shabby
cottage,in the middle of nowhere.A poor family lived in the cottage.The mother,father
and children were dressed in rags.The Brother asked if he and the Monk could spend the
night with them."You are most welcome to spend the night,"said the father of the family.
They prepared a simple meal consisting of fresh milk,cheese and cream for the Brother and
the Monk.The Brother felt moved by their poverty and even more by their simple
generosity.
When they finished eating,the Monk asked them how they managed to survive in such
a poor place,so far away from the nearest neighbors and town.The wife looked to her
husband to answer.In a resigned tone of voice he told them how they managed to survive.
"We have one cow.We sell her milk to our neighbors who do not live too far away.We
hold back enough for our needs and to make some cheese and cream-that is what we eat.
The next morning,the Brother and the Monk said their goodbyes and set out to
continue their journey.After they had walked a few miles,the Monk turned to the Brother
and said,.“Go back and push the cow off the cliff(悬崖)!”“Father,.”the Brother replied,
"they live off the cow.Without her,they will have nothing."The Monk repeated his order
“go back and kill the cow”.
With a heavy heart,the Brother returned to the small cottage.He worried about the
future of the family because he knew they depended on the cow to survive.His promise of
obedience bound him to follow the orders of the wise Monk.He pushed the cow off the
cliff.
Paragraph 1:
One day,the Brother,who had become a Monk,found himself on the same road
where he found accommodation years ago.
Paragraph 2:
"We have always lived here,"the man answered and then invited the Monk into their
Splendid house.
