第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)

A
Here are four small places in England, all packed with delightful scenery and more.
Lavenham. Suffolk
In the town, ancient buildings lean casually into one another. As a result, wandering down the high street feels like walking through a fairy tale or a Hollywood movie as Lavenham has appeared in many Hollywood movies. Behind the high walls are several excellent restaurants, but first time visitors should go to the Lavenham Guildhall, where you can drink tea in a well-preserved Tudor room.
Shaftesbury, Dorset
Home to Gold I Hill, the cobblestone street known as “one of the most romantic sights in England”. Shaftesbury is a major charmer. The tiny Dorset town is also home to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey, built in 888 AD by King Alfred, a man well-known for creating England. Shaftesbury is also surrounded by a wealth of incredible countryside rich in picnicking potential including Duncliffe Wood and Melbury Beacon.
St Ives. Cornwall
St Ives used to be little more than a traditional fishing village, but now it has developed into a popular coastal town. Its soft, sandy beaches regularly win awards and there are also plenty of top seafood dining options. The town has even gained a reputation as a serious arts center, with lots of outstanding galleries led by the Tate St Ives, which features attractive modern art exhibitions focusing on British artists.
Castle Combe. Wiltshire
Recognized as the “pretticst village in England”. Castle Combe is famous for its handsome honey colored stone houses and flower-lined lanes (小巷) which have decorated countless postcards and magazine covers over the years.
21. What do Lavenham and Shaftesbury have in common
A. They offer special local food.
B. They provide a sense of historical experience.
C. They are known as great film shooting bases.
D. They have many places suitable for picnicking.
22. Where will you choose to go if you end
A. Lavenham, Suffolk. B. Shaftesbury. Dorset.
C. St Ives. Cornwall. D. Castle Combe, Wiltshire.
23. What attracts visitors to Castle Combe
A. Its traditional culture. B. Its interesting movies.
C. Its beautiful postcards. D. Its unique architecture.
B
I am an art-on-the-cart teacher for now. My 8th-grade boys don’t open doors for me. The girls do, however. So do the Gth,7th, and 9th-grade boys, but not those 8th-grade boys. It’s a strange phenomenon that I’m sure is explained by science somewhere. But when I’m walking through campus with my rolling cart filled to the brim (边沿), my hands full, my backpack on,and the wind blowing the door, it’s hard to pull it open for me. The boys just go on through without stopping to offer help. What these boys need is some empathy (同理心)! Looking at art can help with that.
Last semester in a photography unit for my 8th-graders, I brought out the “I am”character poem activity from my pack of printable worksheets to study the work of Dorothea Lange, the mastermind behind the Migrant Mother and other powerful photographs from the Great Depression.
As an art teacher, it is important for me to give my students experience connecting with works of art, which includes connecting with the characters and people in the artworks. Dorothea Lange was a photographer hired by the Resettlement Administration and the Farm Security Administration to document the lives of migrant workers, and displaced families. Because her photographs were government-funded, they were offered for free to newspapers across the country, and her photographs were seen nationwide.
She had a masterful way of capturing emotion in her subjects, so her photographs are an excellent way for students to practice empathy while also connecting with the art, the past,and the people in the photograph.
Once we finished with all of the group presentations, I asked what all of the photographs had in common and what we can learn about the photographer based on all of these photographs. This launched us into a lesson on Dorothea Lange, art during the Great Depression,and a debate over whether or not the camera has the ability to capture the essence (精髓) of a person.
24. What does the author think of the 8th-grade boys
A. Sensitive. B. Hardworking.
C Unsympathetic. D. Hopeless
25. Why did the author introduce Dorothea Lange to her class
A. To appreciate the Migrant Mother. B. To help the boys relate to others.
C. To dig into the Great Depression. D. To prepare students for a debate.
26. What can we learn about Dorothea Lange’s photographs
A. They were easily available. B. They appealed primarily to the 8th-graders.
C. They were highly profitable. D. They revealed the essence of the subject.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Photograph: a Subject for Debate B. Shaping Identity with Works of Art
C. Photograph: a Reflection on the Past D. Exploring Empathy with Works of Art
C
Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
28. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark
A. It is 400 years old. B. It looks just like a tiger.
C. It has unique appearance. D. It only lives near the Arctic.
29. What does Kasana think of the discovery
A. Doubtful and fearful. B. Common and expected.
C. Exciting and threatening. D. Surprising and confusing.
30. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life
A. The early maturity. B. The mild environment.
C. The length of their bodies. D. The slow pace of their development.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The longest-living shark in the world.
B. The oldest fish living near the equator.
C. A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D. A theory about the long life of wild fish.
D
Textspeak is an informal term for the abbreviated (缩写的) language used in text messaging and other forms of electronic communication. In the digital age, it’s common to hear how textspeak is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write.
Of course, language does change when it’s used digitally. Textspeak is an evolution of language. It’s even the focus of a field of linguistics (语言学) called CMC, which is committed to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets.
Contrary to the idea that these innovations are aggravating language, CMC demonstrates a creative repurposing of symbols for technology. These swift and clever evolutions illustrate the flexibility of language and its capacity to communicate meanings not relating to words.
People have been complaining about language being “ruined”. In A.D. 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an “artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French! Similarly, in 1871, the then-president of Harvard University said,“Bad spelling, incorrectness, inelegance of expression in writing, and ignorance of the simplest rules of punctuation... are far from rare among the young who are well-prepared for college studies.”
Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号). It is a visual representation of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any number of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to convey a feeling, such as “I’m happy” or “just joking”.
So, far from ruining language, the example indicates how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world.
32. What can be learnt about “textspeak” from the text
A. It has ill effects on language.
B. It is ruining language in the digital age.
C. It is a visual representation of facial expressions.
D. It is an evolution of language and communication.
33. What does the author argue for in the text
A. Language changes and adapts to new technologies.
B. Language has become more rigid with technology.
C. Language is being corrupted by modern innovations.
D. Technology has made us lazy in our use of language.
34. What does the underlined word “aggravating” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Simplifying. B. Opposing. C. Worsening. D. Shortening.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards “textspeak”
A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

Jesse and I are good friends. But we have recently cooled off. It was last month that the story began in gym class.
“Come on. Emily!” Jesse sounded so impatient. “We’ll be late for class.” After math class was gym class, and I was a bit slow that day. Jesse kept urging me to hurry up.
Just then I found my wallet missing. I dropped my book bag to dig through my coat pockets. I was wet with anxiety.
“Someone took it.” Jesse said. As usual, she was quick to point away from the bright side of things.
Even though we were best friends. Jesse and I were just so different.
Jesse and I had to rush into the gym. Soon Jesse spread the news about the theft. By last period in gym class, I was tired of having to say over and over again, “I’m sure I just left it at home.”
After gym class, we went into the locker room. I was changing when I heard a gasp from Jesse. I looked at her and found her face was white with shock. There at her feet, was my wallet.
“It fell out of her locker!” Jesse pointed at Hellen a “new girl” in our class. “She stole it.” Everyone began to accuse Hellen at once.
“Jesse caught her red-handed.”
“Report it!”
Some people were beginning to wonder about Hellen
I looked over at Hellen. She picked up the wallet and held it out to me. Her hands were trembling. “I found it in the parking lot. I was going to give it to you.”
Jesse spit the words “I’m so sure!” at her.
“Really, it’s true.” Hellen’s eyes began to fill with tears.
I reached for my wallet. I didn’t know what to think, but when I looked over at Jesse, her attitude made me sick inside. I looked at Hellen. She was scared but looked sincere.I knew I held her reputation in my hands.
“I am so glad you found it,” I smiled. “Thanks, Hellen.” The tension around us broke.

【原文】M: Today, we’re reporting something very strange on the south coast. The water in Depesh Lake has turned into pink. Residents of Lawton have been worried, and many have called the police station to report it. The police arrived at the lake but didn’t know what happened to the water. At first, they thought of chemical pollution, but they quickly realized this was no such possibility. Researchers from the Coastal and Marine Science Center have been looking into the issue. So far, they think the color might have to do with a large number of fish that have recently appeared in the lake. Researchers have caught a few of the fish and will be taking them to a lab for testing. Emergency workers are asking people to stay away from the lake, especially not to swim or fish in the water. We will be back tomorrow with more update information. This is the KMLC News. Now, over to Brittany Johnson with the weather report, followed by sports.

Here are four small places in England, all packed with delightful scenery and more.
Lavenham. Suffolk
In the town, ancient buildings lean casually into one another. As a result, wandering down the high street feels like walking through a fairy tale or a Hollywood movie as Lavenham has appeared in many Hollywood movies. Behind the high walls are several excellent restaurants, but first time visitors should go to the Lavenham Guildhall, where you can drink tea in a well-preserved Tudor room.
Shaftesbury, Dorset
Home to Gold I Hill, the cobblestone street known as “one of the most romantic sights in England”. Shaftesbury is a major charmer. The tiny Dorset town is also home to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey, built in 888 AD by King Alfred, a man well-known for creating England. Shaftesbury is also surrounded by a wealth of incredible countryside rich in picnicking potential including Duncliffe Wood and Melbury Beacon.
St Ives. Cornwall
St Ives used to be little more than a traditional fishing village, but now it has developed into a popular coastal town. Its soft, sandy beaches regularly win awards and there are also plenty of top seafood dining options. The town has even gained a reputation as a serious arts center, with lots of outstanding galleries led by the Tate St Ives, which features attractive modern art exhibitions focusing on British artists.
Castle Combe. Wiltshire
Recognized as the “pretticst village in England”. Castle Combe is famous for its handsome honey colored stone houses and flower-lined lanes (小巷) which have decorated countless postcards and magazine covers over the years.
21. What do Lavenham and Shaftesbury have in common
A. They offer special local food.
B. They provide a sense of historical experience.
C. They are known as great film shooting bases.
D. They have many places suitable for picnicking.
22. Where will you choose to go if you end
A. Lavenham, Suffolk. B. Shaftesbury. Dorset.
C. St Ives. Cornwall. D. Castle Combe, Wiltshire.
23. What attracts visitors to Castle Combe
A. Its traditional culture. B. Its interesting movies.
C. Its beautiful postcards. D. Its unique architecture.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四个各具特色的英国小镇。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Lavenham. Suffolk(萨福克的拉文汉姆)”部分的“In the town, ancient buildings lean casually into one another. As a result, wandering down the high street feels like walking through a fairy tale or a Hollywood movie as Lavenham has appeared in many Hollywood movies.( 在小镇上，古老的建筑随意地相互倾斜。因此，在大街上漫步就像在童话故事或好莱坞电影中漫步，就像拉文汉姆在许多好莱坞电影中出现过一样)”以及“Shaftesbury, Dorset(多塞特的沙夫茨伯里)”部分的“The tiny Dorset town is also home to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey, built in 888 AD by King Alfred, a man well-known for creating England(多塞特小镇也是沙夫茨伯里修道院废墟的所在地，该修道院由阿尔弗雷德国王建于公元888年，阿尔弗雷德国王以创建英格兰而闻名)”可知，萨福克的拉文汉姆与多塞特的沙夫茨伯里两者之间的共同之处是它们提供了一种历史体验感，故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“St Ives. Cornwall(康沃尔的圣艾夫斯)”部分的“St Ives used to be little more than a traditional fishing village, but now it has developed into a popular coastal town. Its soft, sandy beaches regularly win awards and there are also plenty of top seafood dining options.(圣艾夫斯曾经只是一个传统的渔村，但现在它已经发展成为一个受欢迎的海滨小镇。其柔软的沙滩经常获奖，也有大量的顶级海鲜餐饮选择。)”可知，如果你喜欢吃海鲜，可以到康沃尔的圣艾夫斯，故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Castle Combe. Wiltshire(威尔特郡的库姆城堡)”部分的“Castle Combe is famous for its handsome honey colored stone houses and flower-lined lanes (小巷) which have decorated countless postcards and magazine covers over the years.(库姆城堡以其漂亮的蜜色石屋和鲜花林立的小巷而闻名，多年来装饰了无数的明信片和杂志封面。)”可知，库姆城堡吸引人的地方是它独特的建筑风格，故选D项。

I am an art-on-the-cart teacher for now. My 8th-grade boys don’t open doors for me. The girls do, however. So do the Gth,7th, and 9th-grade boys, but not those 8th-grade boys. It’s a strange phenomenon that I’m sure is explained by science somewhere. But when I’m walking through campus with my rolling cart filled to the brim (边沿), my hands full, my backpack on,and the wind blowing the door, it’s hard to pull it open for me. The boys just go on through without stopping to offer help. What these boys need is some empathy (同理心)! Looking at art can help with that.
Last semester in a photography unit for my 8th-graders, I brought out the “I am”character poem activity from my pack of printable worksheets to study the work of Dorothea Lange, the mastermind behind the Migrant Mother and other powerful photographs from the Great Depression.
As an art teacher, it is important for me to give my students experience connecting with works of art, which includes connecting with the characters and people in the artworks. Dorothea Lange was a photographer hired by the Resettlement Administration and the Farm Security Administration to document the lives of migrant workers, and displaced families. Because her photographs were government-funded, they were offered for free to newspapers across the country, and her photographs were seen nationwide.
She had a masterful way of capturing emotion in her subjects, so her photographs are an excellent way for students to practice empathy while also connecting with the art, the past,and the people in the photograph.
Once we finished with all of the group presentations, I asked what all of the photographs had in common and what we can learn about the photographer based on all of these photographs. This launched us into a lesson on Dorothea Lange, art during the Great Depression,and a debate over whether or not the camera has the ability to capture the essence (精髓) of a person.
24. What does the author think of the 8th-grade boys
A. Sensitive. B. Hardworking.
C. Unsympathetic. D. Hopeless
25. Why did the author introduce Dorothea Lange to her class
A To appreciate the Migrant Mother. B. To help the boys relate to others.
C. To dig into the Great Depression. D. To prepare students for a debate.
26. What can we learn about Dorothea Lange’s photographs
A. They were easily available. B. They appealed primarily to the 8th-graders.
C. They were highly profitable. D. They revealed the essence of the subject.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Photograph: a Subject for Debate B. Shaping Identity with Works of Art
C. Photograph: a Reflection on the Past D. Exploring Empathy with Works of Art
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者利用艺术作品帮助八年级男孩获得同理心的故事。

推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when I’m walking through campus with my rolling cart filled to the brim(边沿),my hands full, my backpack on, and the wind blowing the door, it’s hard to pull it open for me.(但当我推着满满当当的手推车穿过校园时，我的双手满是东西，背着背包，风吹着门，对我来说很难打开门。)”以及“The boys just go on through without stopping to offer help. What these boys need is some empathy(同理心)! Looking at art can help with that.(男孩们只是走过去，没有停下来提供帮助。这些男孩需要的是一些同理心! 看艺术可以帮助你。)”可知，当作者推着满满的手推车，双手满是东西，作者无法自己打开门，而八年级的孩子们只是冷漠的走过去，不帮助作者，故作者认为他们是没有同理心的。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“What these boys need is some empathy(同理心)! Looking at art can help with that.(这些男孩需要的是一些同理心!看艺术可以帮助你。)”以及第四段“She had a masterful way of capturing emotion in her subjects, so her photographs are an excellent way for students to practice empathy while also connecting with the art, the past, and the people in the photograph.(她善于捕捉拍摄对象的情感，所以她的照片是学生们练习同理心的绝佳方式，同时也与艺术、过去和照片中的人联系在一起。)”可知，作者之所以在课堂上引入Dorothea Lange，是因为通过Dorothea Lange的作品培养孩子们的同理心。B选项“To help the boys relate to others.(帮助孩子们同情并理解他人。)”符合文章信息。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because her photographs were government-funded, they were offered for free to newspapers across the country, and her photographs were seen nationwide.( 因为她的照片是政府资助的，所以这些照片被免费提供给全国各地的报纸，她的照片在全国范围内都能看到。)”可知，Dorothea Lange的照片受到政府资助，因此她的作品被免费提供给报刊，由此推断，人们很容易获得她的摄影作品。故选A。

Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
28. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark
A. It is 400 years old. B. It looks just like a tiger.
C. It has unique appearance. D. It only lives near the Arctic.
29. What does Kasana think of the discovery
A. Doubtful and fearful. B. Common and expected.
C. Exciting and threatening. D. Surprising and confusing.
30. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life
A. The early maturity. B. The mild environment.
C. The length of their bodies. D. The slow pace of their development.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The longest-living shark in the world.
B. The oldest fish living near the equator.
C. A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D. A theory about the long life of wild fish.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。据报道，研究人员在伯利兹的南部海岸发现了一条格陵兰鲨鱼。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. (与他们看到的虎鲨不同，这种特殊的鲨鱼有着黑色的、皮肤皴裂和淡蓝色的眼睛。)”可知，这条被抓的格陵兰鲨鱼外观独特：浑身黑色、皮肤皴裂、眼睛浅蓝。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” (Kasana说:“当它进入我们的视野时，我们看到一个黑色的身影越来越大。当它浮出水面时，所有拥有捕鱼经验的船员都没有见过这样的事情。”)”。由此可知，Kasana 对该发现感到既惊讶又迷惑。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life. (格陵兰鲨鱼可以活到几百岁。他们长寿的原因可能与他们的生长速度有关，这是非常缓慢的。格陵兰鲨鱼每年长大约三分之一英寸，长度可以超过20英尺。研究人员认为，鲨鱼直到它们生命的前100年才达到性成熟。)”可知，格陵兰鲨鱼之所以长寿是因为它们生长发育的速度很慢。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old. (研究人员在伯利兹南部海岸追踪虎鲨，当他们最近捕捉到一种不同的鱼时，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。原来它是一条格陵兰鲨鱼，通常在北极发现，可以活到400岁左右。” ) 本文主要介绍了在伯利兹的南部海岸发现的一条格陵兰鲨鱼的具体情况。故选C。
D
Textspeak is an informal term for the abbreviated (缩写的) language used in text messaging and other forms of electronic communication. In the digital age, it’s common to hear how textspeak is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write.
Of course, language does change when it’s used digitally. Textspeak is an evolution of language. It’s even the focus of a field of linguistics (语言学) called CMC, which is committed to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets.
Contrary to the idea that these innovations are aggravating language, CMC demonstrates a creative repurposing of symbols for technology. These swift and clever evolutions illustrate the flexibility of language and its capacity to communicate meanings not relating to words.
People have been complaining about language being “ruined”. In A.D. 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an “artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French! Similarly, in 1871, the then-president of Harvard University said,“Bad spelling, incorrectness, inelegance of expression in writing, and ignorance of the simplest rules of punctuation... are far from rare among the young who are well-prepared for college studies.”
Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号). It is a visual representation of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any number of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to convey a feeling, such as “I’m happy” or “just joking”.
So, far from ruining language, the example indicates how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world.
32. What can be learnt about “textspeak” from the text
A. It has ill effects on language.
B It is ruining language in the digital age.
C. It is a visual representation of facial expressions.
D. It is an evolution of language and communication.
33. What does the author argue for in the text
A. Language changes and adapts to new technologies.
B. Language has become more rigid with technology.
C. Language is being corrupted by modern innovations.
D. Technology has made us lazy in our use of language.
34. What does the underlined word “aggravating” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Simplifying. B. Opposing. C. Worsening. D. Shortening.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards “textspeak”
A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言在数字时代的发展。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Textspeak is an evolution of language. It’s even the focus of a field of linguistics (语言学) called CMC, which is committed to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets.(textspeak是一种语言的进化。这甚至是一个名为CMC的语言学领域的研究重点，该领域致力于研究电脑、手机和平板电脑等技术促进的互动。)”可知，textspeak是语言和交流的进化。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Of course, language does change when it’s used digitally. Textspeak is an evolution of language.(当然，当语言被数字化使用时，它确实会发生变化。短信语是一种语言的进化。)”和最后一段的“So, far from ruining language, the example indicates how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world.(因此，这个例子不仅没有破坏语言，而且表明人们现在可以用简单的方式交流复杂的情感。这种变化对于我们这个快节奏的现代世界来说是完美的。)”可知，作者在文中论证了语言会随着新技术而变化和适应。故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Contrary to the idea(与这个想法相反)”和“CMC demonstrates a creative repurposing of symbols for technology. These swift and clever evolutions illustrate the flexibility of language and its capacity to communicate meanings not relating to words.(CMC展示了对技术符号的创造性重新利用。这些迅速而巧妙的进化说明了语言的灵活性及其传达与单词无关的意义的能力。)”和第四段“People have been complaining about language being “ruined”.(人们一直在抱怨语言被“毁了”。)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“与这些创新正在恶化语言的想法相反，CMC展示了对技术符号的创造性重新利用。这些迅速而巧妙的进化说明了语言的灵活性及其传达与单词无关的意义的能力”，划线词意为“使恶化”，和C选项“Worsening(恶化)”意思相近。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Textspeak is an evolution of language.(短信语是一种语言的进化。)”和最后一段的“So, far from ruining language, the example indicates how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world.(因此，这个例子不仅没有破坏语言，而且表明人们现在可以用简单的方式交流复杂的情感。这种变化对于我们这个快节奏的现代世界来说是完美的。)”可知，作者对“短信语”的态度是赞许的。故选B。

My joyful summer vacation
As the saying goes, it’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. During this summer vocation, I put it to the test.
In the beginning, I went to Hukou Waterfall with my family to appreciate the splendid spectacle of the Yellow River. Later, we visited Beijing, where we enjoyed a visual feast. Our last destination was Huangshan Mountain. Standing on the top, I was completely conquered by the magical power of nature.
Through this joyful vacation, not only did I see our country’s beautiful scenery, but also I experienced its high speed development as well as its being increasingly powerful. How proud I am as a Chinese!

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jesse and I are good friends. But we have recently cooled off. It was last month that the story began in gym class.
“Come on. Emily!” Jesse sounded so impatient. “We’ll be late for class.” After math class was gym class, and I was a bit slow that day. Jesse kept urging me to hurry up.
Just then I found my wallet missing. I dropped my book bag to dig through my coat pockets. I was wet with anxiety.
“Someone took it.” Jesse said. As usual, she was quick to point away from the bright side of things.
Even though we were best friends. Jesse and I were just so different.
Jesse and I had to rush into the gym. Soon Jesse spread the news about the theft. By last period in gym class, I was tired of having to say over and over again, “I’m sure I just left it at home.”
After gym class we went into the locker room. I was changing when I heard a gasp from Jesse. I looked at her and found her face was white with shock. There at her feet, was my wallet.
“It fell out of her locker!” Jesse pointed at Hellen a “new girl” in our class. “She stole it.” Everyone began to accuse Hellen at once.
“Jesse caught her red-handed.”
“Report it!”
Some people were beginning to wonder about Hellen.
I looked over at Hellen. She picked up the wallet and held it out to me. Her hands were trembling. “I found it in the parking lot. I was going to give it to you.”
Jesse spit the words “I’m so sure!” at her.
“Really, it’s true.” Hellen’s eyes began to fill with tears.
I reached for my wallet. I didn’t know what to think, but when I looked over at Jesse, her attitude made me sick inside. I looked at Hellen. She was scared but looked sincere.I knew I held her reputation in my hands.
“I am so glad you found it,” I smiled. “Thanks, Hellen.” The tension around us broke.

Just then a folded piece of paper dropped from my wallet.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Good thing she found it,” everyone but Jesse agreed. Jesse urged me to open my wallet immediately to see if I had lost the money. I knew that was an unwise suggestion. Whatever the result, it could only make things worse. I smiled to Jesse and said that I didn’t need to open my wallet to check. I was sure the money was still there. Hellen hesitated and left silently. Jesse insisted that Hellen hadn’t just have time to empty it yet. It wasn’t until others left there that I opened my wallet. “It’s all here.” I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Just then a folded piece of paper dropped from my wallet. I picked it up and read it. The note read: “Emily, I found your wallet in the parking lot. Hope nothing is missing Hellen.” Her phone number was also attached. I handed the note to Jesse. She read it and threw it back at me. “Jesse, maybe you spend too much time numbering people,” I said. Angrily, she walked away. I knew that something had broken between us. I read the note again. I decided not only to express my gratitude to Hellen, but also to exchange some thoughts with Jesse tomorrow.
