In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a camp site for the programme.
But on the first day of camp, despite my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their tennis rackets. Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to persuade even one to open a book. Mylea told me they would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home than learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.
That evening, tired as I was, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To stress praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.
In the following days, these children, once in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story and playing tennis.
One day, Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight ” Looking up at her eager face, I couldn’t help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It’s all yours!” I overjoyed.

B. Volunteers from local schools donated a lot of money.

Having friends is obviously good for countless reasons. And showing the world that you have lots of friends, for example on social media, seems like a great idea. If that is the truth, your goal is to enlarge your social network. Once people see how popular you are, they’ll want to join that popular circle, perhaps in the hope that some of your popularity will rub off on them. Thus, they may enlarge their friend circle.
However, can a person even have too many friends at the same time It’s always been a misunderstanding that if you have more friends, people will be more likely to want to be friends with you.
In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you. In a series of experiments, the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend those who have fewer friends than they do, rather than those with more friends. The authors call this phenomenon (现象) the “friend-number paradox (悖论)”, which is also the title of their new paper.
Social ties are obviously important. Having more of these connections suggests greater social value, and more potential possibilities. So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on making friends with people who have lots of friends already.
But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity (互惠) involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations. And people with lots of friendsmay not be able to carry out those responsibilities— especially those with too many friends.
In other words, “friendship quality” matters as much, if not more, than only the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends means your valuable social resources become dilute (稀释), making you less able to be a good friend. And other people will consider the fact when deciding whether to make friends with you. They don’t want to spend their valuable social resources on someone who is unlikely to pay it back.
8. What do the underlined words “rub off on” in paragraph l mean
A. Look forward to.
B. Hold on to.
C. Have an impact on.
D. Take control of.
9. What does the “friend-number paradox” show
A. The secrets to becoming popular.
B. The ways of winning more friends.
C. The advantages of having many friends.
D. The problems with having many friends.
10. What does the author think of people with lots of friends
A. They don’t know about reciprocity.
B. They may fail to perform their duties.
C. They are more likely to be good friends.
D. They have more valuable social resources.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. How Do People Choose Their Friends
B. More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better
C. Why Do People Like Having More Friends
D. People With More Friends Are More Popular
D
For some people, nothing beats a long walk on a sandy beach. But there’s no denying that it’s not as easy or as fast to get around on the beach as it is on a road or a sidewalk. But why is it so hard to walk on sand
The problem with sand is that it’s soft; you “sink in” at each step. This forces you to use 2.1 to 2.7 times more energy with every step you take. Another idea is that people walk more difficultly on soft than they do on hard surfaces, a study found. The researchers compared how people walked on foam (泡沫) and hard surfaces by counting the forces under their feet and how much each person needed. They found that walking on softsurfaces, such as sand, mud and snow caused people to take longer steps — actions that use more energy than walking on a hard surface.
But as experienced beach walkers know, there’s a way to make it easier to walk on sand: Just add water. When sand is wet, it becomes more compact (紧密), and walking on it is more similar to walking on hard surface. In other words, it’s much easier to cross a beach by walking along the shoreline, where the waves roll in and out. This is a balance though; too much water could make the sand soft once again. If water isn’t an option, there is another way to make walking on sand easier — increasing your surface area. This could be achieved by wearing shoes.
Although it’s more difficult, there are some good reasons to exercise on sand. The impact forces are lower on sand than on hard surface. Research suggests that walking across sand is much easier on your joints (关节) and muscles, especially compared with a hard and unfriendly surface such as concrete. That’s why sand is a better surface for helping athletes recover more quickly from exercise.
12. Why is the question raised in the first paragraph
A. To show problems.
B. To call up readers’ memories.
C. To invite readers to answer it.
D. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
13 How can you walk on sand more easily
A. By putting on shoes.
B. By taking longer steps.
C. By walking in the water.
D. By using special breath methods.
14. The passage is probably taken from_________.
A. A science magazine.
B. A guide book.
C. A journal entry.
D. A poster for clubs.
15. What may be the best title for the text
A. Tips for Beach Vacation
B. All kinds of Sports on the Sand
C. Why Is It So Hard to Walk on Sand
D. Where Are the Athletes Trained

推理判断题。根据第二段“But on the first day of camp, despite my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their tennis rackets. Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to persuade even one to open a book. Mylea told me they would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home than learning stupid tennis and reading boring books. (但在营地的第一天，尽管我精心策划，事情并没有像我希望的那样发展。Hector和Adrian用网球拍互相打了起来。片刻之后，Hector挣扎着站了起来，用一只手捂住流血的鼻子。Georgie和Eduardo互相扔球。然后在阅读时间，我快速地从一个不高兴的孩子移动到一个要求很苛刻的孩子，甚至无法说服他们中一个人打开一本书。Mylea告诉我他们宁愿在家看Nickelodeon也不愿学愚蠢的网球和读无聊的书。)”可知，第一天这个营地搞得很混乱。故选C项。
【6题详解】

(我们创建了一个良好的同伴系统，每个志愿者与一名营员配对，在阅读时间帮助他或她。为了强调表扬和进步，我们设立了每周颁奖仪式，为阅读、网球和行为方面进步最大的人颁奖。)”可知，作者是通过帮助和激励营员来改进项目的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. (作为一名母亲，在构思‘青少年网球与扫盲’项目时，我希望与孩子们分享我的两大爱好——网球和阅读。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者向孩子们介绍阅读和网球的经历。故选D项。
C
Having friends is obviously good for countless reasons. And showing the world that you have lots of friends, for example on social media, seems like a great idea. If that is the truth, your goal is to enlarge your social network. Once people see how popular you are, they’ll want to join that popular circle, perhaps in the hope that some of your popularity will rub off on them. Thus, they may enlarge their friend circle.
However, can a person even have too many friends at the same time It’s always been a misunderstanding that if you have more friends, people will be more likely to want to be friends with you.
In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you. In a series of experiments, the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend those who have fewer friends than they do, rather than those with more friends. The authors call this phenomenon (现象) the “friend-number paradox (悖论)”, which is also the title of their new paper.
Social ties are obviously important. Having more of these connections suggests greater social value, and more potential possibilities. So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on making friends with people who have lots of friends already.
But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity (互惠) involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations. And people with lots of friendsmay not be able to carry out those responsibilities— especially those with too many friends.
In other words, “friendship quality” matters as much, if not more, than only the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends means your valuable social resources become dilute (稀释的), making you less able to be a good friend. And other people will consider the fact when deciding whether to make friends with you. They don’t want to spend their valuable social resources on someone who is unlikely to pay it back.
8. What do the underlined words “rub off on” in paragraph l mean
A Look forward to.
B. Hold on to.
C. Have an impact on.
D. Take control of.
9. What does the “friend-number paradox” show
A. The secrets to becoming popular.
B. The ways of winning more friends.
C. The advantages of having many friends.
D. The problems with having many friends.
10. What does the author think of people with lots of friends
A. They don’t know about reciprocity.
B. They may fail to perform their duties.
C. They are more likely to be good friends.
D. They have more valuable social resources.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. How Do People Choose Their Friends
B. More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better
C. Why Do People Like Having More Friends
D. People With More Friends Are More Popular
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究表明，拥有太多的朋友不一定就越好，友谊的质量更重要。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Once people see how popular you are, they’ll want to join that popular circle, perhaps in the hope that(一旦人们看到你有多受欢迎，他们就会想加入那个受欢迎的圈子，也许是希望)”及划线词所在单句并联合下一句“Thus, they may enlarge their friend circle.(因此，他们可能会扩大他们的朋友圈)”可知，当人们看到你受欢迎，会希望你的受欢迎度会影响他们，这样他们就会扩大自己的朋友圈，画线部分词与Have an impact on.（影响）意思相近。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you. In a series of experiments, the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend those who have fewer friends than they do, rather than those with more friends. The authors call this phenomenon the “friend-number paradox”, which is also the title of their new paper.(事实上，发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的一项新研究表明，朋友太多可能会对你不利。在一系列实验中，作者证明，人们通常更喜欢和朋友比自己少的人交朋友，而不是和朋友多的人交朋友。作者称这种现象为“朋友数量悖论”，这也是他们新论文的标题)”可知，“朋友数悖论”说明了有很多朋友的问题。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations. And people with lots of friends may not be able to carry out those responsibilities— especially those with too many friends.(但问题是，这些社会关系只有在涉及互惠的情况下才有价值。友谊伴随着一定的责任和期望。有很多朋友的人可能无法履行这些责任，尤其是那些朋友太多的人)”可知，作者认为有很多朋友的人可能无法履行作为朋友的职责。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“However, can a person even have too many friends at the same time It’s always been a misunderstanding that if you have more friends, people will be more likely to want to be friends with you.(然而，一个人能同时拥有太多的朋友吗 如果你有更多的朋友，人们就会更愿意和你做朋友，这一直是一个误解)”及最后一段“In other words, “friendship quality” matters as much, if not more, than only the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends means your valuable social resources become dilute, making you less able to be a good friend.(换句话说，“友谊的质量”与你拥有的朋友的数量一样重要，甚至更重要。拥有太多的朋友意味着你宝贵的社会资源被稀释，使你不能成为一个好朋友)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了拥有太多的朋友不一定就越好，友谊的质量更重要。B选项“朋友不一定越多越好”与本文主旨相符，可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。

For some people, nothing beats a long walk on a sandy beach. But there’s no denying that it’s not as easy or as fast to get around on the beach as it is on a road or a sidewalk. But why is it so hard to walk on sand
The problem with sand is that it’s soft; you “sink in” at each step. This forces you to use 2.1 to 2.7 times more energy with every step you take. Another idea is that people walk more difficultly on soft than they do on hard surfaces, a study found. The researchers compared how people walked on foam (泡沫) and hard surfaces by counting the forces under their feet and how much each person needed. They found that walking on softsurfaces, such as sand, mud and snow caused people to take longer steps — actions that use more energy than walking on a hard surface.
But as experienced beach walkers know, there’s a way to make it easier to walk on sand: Just add water. When sand is wet, it becomes more compact (紧密), and walking on it is more similar to walking on hard surface. In other words, it’s much easier to cross a beach by walking along the shoreline, where the waves roll in and out. This is a balance though; too much water could make the sand soft once again. If water isn’t an option, there is another way to make walking on sand easier — increasing your surface area. This could be achieved by wearing shoes.
Although it’s more difficult, there are some good reasons to exercise on sand. The impact forces are lower on sand than on hard surface. Research suggests that walking across sand is much easier on your joints (关节) and muscles, especially compared with a hard and unfriendly surface such as concrete. That’s why sand is a better surface for helping athletes recover more quickly from exercise.
12. Why is the question raised in the first paragraph
A. To show problems.
B. To call up readers’ memories.
C. To invite readers to answer it.
D. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
13. How can you walk on sand more easily
A. By putting on shoes.
B. By taking longer steps.
C. By walking in the water.
D. By using special breath methods.
14. The passage is probably taken from_________.
A. A science magazine.
B. A guide book.
C. A journal entry.
D. A poster for clubs.
15. What may be the best title for the text
A. Tips for Beach Vacation
B. All kinds of Sports on the Sand
C. Why Is It So Hard to Walk on Sand
D. Where Are the Athletes Trained
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，说明了为什么人们在沙滩上行走这么困难。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For some people, nothing beats a long walk on a sandy beach. But there’s no denying that it’s not as easy or as fast to get around on the beach as it is on a road or a sidewalk. But why is it so hard to walk on sand (对一些人来说，没有什么比在沙滩上散步更惬意的了。但不可否认的是，在海滩上走动并不像在公路或人行道上那样容易或快捷。但为什么在沙滩上行走如此困难呢？)”以及下文对“为什么在沙滩上走比较困难”的解释可知，本段提出这个问题是为了吸引读者对这个话题的注意。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If water isn’t an option, there is another way to make walking on sand easier — increasing your surface area. This could be achieved by wearing shoes. (如果没有水，还有另一种方法可以让在沙滩上行走更容易——增加你的表面积。这可以通过穿鞋来实现)”可知，通过穿表面积更大的鞋能更轻松地在沙滩上行走。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“The problem with sand is that it’s soft; you ‘sink in’ at each step. This forces you to use 2.1 to 2.7 times more energy with every step you take. Another idea is that people walk more difficultly on soft than they do on hard surfaces, a study found. (沙子的问题在于它很软；你每走一步都要‘沉下去’。这迫使你每走一步都要多消耗2.1到2.7倍的能量。一项研究发现，另一种观点是，人们在柔软的表面上行走比在坚硬的表面上行走更困难)”可知，本文介绍了一项科学研究，说明了为什么人们在沙滩上行走困难，所以本文可能取自一本科学杂志。故选A项。
【15题详解】

Have you ever been in a situation when you don’t want to carry out the tasks that need to be done ___16___. Though it often happens to us for different reasons, there are still some ways to overcome it.
Jump out of bed at the beginning of the day. Research tells us that turning off the alarm clock and going back to sleep are bad for us. You might think lying there and enjoying the warmth of the covers would make you more energetic later, but the opposite happens. ___17___ . Instead, jump out of bed and start your morning routine.
___18___ . By setting yourself some worthy yet practical goals, you will have something to look forward to. Pick goals which really inspire you and that make the most of your talents and skills. This will provide a great start to your day, and push you to overcome your laziness and act to realize your dreams.
Tell yourself you can do something. Action changes everything. One moment you’re passive (被动的) and frozen, but the next you’re changing things, simply because you act. You are not decided by what went on before. If you feel stuck in trouble, try telling yourself your action statements: I’m ready! I can make it! And definitely not “if only” statements. ___19___.
Celebrate success and milestones. ___20___. This will help keep you from being lazy because you are seeing the fruits of your labor. You may feel less motivated to do something if it feels insignificant.
A. This is often considered laziness
B. Set some goals that are likely to be achieved
C. We are actually more tired throughout the day

【18题详解】

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was almost 9 pm. Stephen, a 14-year-old boy was wandering alone on the street on a breezy night.
He recalled the incident that made him argue with his mother and he moved out of the house like a storm. His eyes were filled with tears. He had a quarrel with his mother from morning. His mom asked about his low grades in the recent exam. Stephen didn’t care too much about his carelessness and did not reply to her well. She scolded (责备) him again in the evening for being so careless. He quarreled with his mother. The quarrel ended up so badly that Stephen left his home.
He walked for more than hours. He smelled a nice flavor from a shop and was attracted by the sweet smell. He couldn’t resist the smell of that nice flavor and he felt very hungry.
It was a small noodles shop and he stopped by the shop. Suddenly he realized there was not even a single penny in his pocket. Tired and hungry, he stood there for a minute but decided to leave. The shop owner saw him and asked him to have some food.
Stephen said he had no money to pay for the food. The shop owner smiled, saying, “It’s OK. I won’t ask you any money.”
The shop owner prepared a hot bowl of sweet and delicious noodles. Stephen ate the noodles, feeling that he owed something to the shop owner. He promised to return his favor. Stephen was in tears when he ate the noodles. The shop owner asked what happened to him.
Stephen told him about the incident and the quarrel with his mother and he felt that his mother did not understand him

【答案】
Hearing this, the shop owner smiled and approached Stephen. He patted the boy’s shoulder and said, “Hey, young guy, think about how much your mom loves you.” Stephen thought of the moment when he was a little kid. In fact, his mother carried him in her arms. She cooked the delicious food for him. She played games with him. He also remembered that when he failed in the exam, she comforted him with all her heart and kept him company over the night. She was there for him whenever he needed her.
Stephen realized his mistake and thanked the shop owner: He rushed home in a hurry. He saw his mother standing at the door with tears in her eyes. Seeing his coming, his mother stepped forward, saying, “You must be hungry! I have cooked the meal you like e and have it now.” He hugged his mother tightly, streaming with tears and said. “I am terribly sorry, Mom. I am wrong and I will never quarrel with you again. I love you.”
