Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had a dislike to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and a talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A. He was the math teacher’s dream student.
B. He was satisfied with his current situation.
C. He did not believe his ability to learn math well.
D. He was good at math before high school.
5. Which of the following can best describe Mr. A

C. Enthusiastic and humorous. D. Creative and patient.
6. What change has the author made under Mr. A’s influence
A. He gradually improved his math grades. B. He never met any difficulties again.
C. He lived a more happier life than before. D. He fell in love with math.
7. What’s the main idea of this passage

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
8. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
C. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. ”
D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
9. People in Los Angeles give directions by time because ________.
A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance
B. they prefer to lead you the way
C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles
D. they prefer to use body language
10. Greeks give directions by ________.
A. leading people the way
B. using landmarks
C. using street names
D. giving people a wrong direction
11. Where is Yucatan
A. In the USA. B. In Japan.
C. In Greece. D. In Mexico.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的不同的指路方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names.”(外国游客在日本经常感到困惑,因为那里的大多数街道都没有名字标志;在日本,人们在方向上使用地标,而不是街道名称。)可知,在日本,人们使用地标来描述方向,结合选项可知,“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”意为“在医院右转,经过一所学校。”选项是使用地标来描述方向的例子。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance by time, not miles.”(美国洛杉矶的人们不知道地图上的距离:他们用时间而不是英里来测量距离。)可知,美国洛杉矶的人们不知道以英里为单位测量的距离,他们用时间而不是英里来测量距离,由此可知,洛杉矶人按时间指路,因为他们通常不知道以英里为单位测量的距离。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.”(相反,希腊人会经常说:“跟我来。”然后他会带你穿过城市的街道去邮局。)可知,希腊人经常会亲自带你去你要去的地方,由此可知,希腊人通过给人们带路来指路。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.””(但在墨西哥尤卡坦,没有人回答“我不知道。”)可知,尤卡坦地处墨西哥,由此可知,尤卡坦在墨西哥。故选D项。
D
Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “The truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical (批判的) thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way. Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
12. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that ________.
A. we have strong beliefs in governments while growing up.
B. we grow up through learning certain things in life.
C. we are forming our views during our growth.
D. we easily believe certain things without a second thought.
13. Nowadays, few professors encourage students to ________.
A. criticize others. B. share the same idea as professors’.
C. support their own views. D. examine his own beliefs.
14. The word “shaky” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. creative. B. firm. C. reasonable. D. weak.
15. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to ________.
A. argue mainly for the sake of arguing.
B. prove it with a good conclusion.
C. support your ideas with a strong argument.
D. examine others’ ideas critically.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了在大学中给学生提供批判性思考的机会是一个目标,而不仅仅是传授知识。教授们鼓励学生质疑和批判他人的观点,包括批判他们自己的观点。他们希望学生学会思考,而不是告诉他们应该怎样思考。如果学生与教授意见相左,他们需要提供有力的论据来支持自己的观点,而不是仅仅为了争论而争论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. (我们大多数人从小到大都认为某些事情是理所当然的)”可推知,我们很容易不假思索地相信某些事情。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs.(很少有教授要求学生分享自己的观点)”可知,如今很少有教授鼓励学生与他们分享相同的观点。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线词后面的句子“or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments.(或者如果你的论点不符合逻辑,教授会亲自指出你论点中的错误推理)”可知,划线词所在的句子与此处构成并列,此处指出你的论点不符合逻辑,教授会亲自指出你论点中的错误推理,由此前文中并列相同的情况即你的假设是不牢固的,是脆弱的,教授会亲自指出你论点中的错误推理。因此划线词shaky意味着“脆弱的”,指的是前提不牢固,与D选项“weak.(弱的)”为同义词。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. (另一方面,如果你打算在课堂上不同意教授的观点,你应该准备好提供有力的论据来支持你的观点)”可知,作者认为正确的争论方式是用强有力的论据支持自己的观点即正确的辩论方式是用有力的论据来支持你的观点。故选C。

47. 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,续写的词数应为150左右。
During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute,” Mom said.
Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” she asked.
Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”
Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.
Paragraph 1:
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time.
Paragraph 2:
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time. And then she wiped her eyes and started to clean her room. It took her two hours to clean up the room. “I did it!” she said proudly. She even found her missing shoe. She ran into the living room. “Grandma! Come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Emma’s room. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn’t have lost your e and have some sweets now,” she said.
Paragraph 2:
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home. “Well, look at Emma’s room! It’s clean,” her dad said. “How was the zoo Did you have fun I wish I could have gone there with you,” Emma said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go and see animals again,” her mom said. From then on, Emma tried her best to keep her room clean.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Emma跟妈妈提议去200号公园喂动物,她的妈妈同意了。但是在临行前,Emma只找到了一只鞋,妈妈回想起她告诉Emma多少次让她把房间打扫干净,但是她总是弄的一团糟。于是Emma妈妈打算给她一个教训,没有带她去动物园,而是让奶奶在家看着她把房间打扫干净。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Emma坐在床上哭了很长时间。”可知,第一段可描写Emma的爸爸妈妈带着Ryan去了动物园后,独自伤心,痛哭之后,打扫房间的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Emma和她奶奶正坐在餐桌旁吃饭,这时她的妈妈、爸爸和瑞安回家了。”可知,第二段可描写Emma的妈妈、爸爸和瑞安回家后发生的故事。
2.续写线索:擦干眼泪——打扫房间——交流——感悟
3.词汇激活(一个词汇要写出相近的表达)
行为类
①擦干眼泪:wipe away one's tears / dry one's eyes
②打扫房间:clean the room/ clean the house
情绪类
玩得开心:have fun/ have a good time
【点睛】[高分句型1]If you keep your room clean, we may go and see animals again.(由连接词if引导的条件状语从句)

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had a dislike to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and a talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A. He was the math teacher’s dream student.
B. He was satisfied with his current situation.
C. He did not believe his ability to learn math well.
D. He was good at math before high school.
5. Which of the following can best describe Mr. A
A. Responsible and honest. B. Optimistic and passionate.
C. Enthusiastic and humorous. D. Creative and patient.
6. What change has the author made under Mr. A’s influence
A. He gradually improved his math grades. B. He never met any difficulties again.
C. He lived a more happier life than before. D. He fell in love with math.
7. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Math requires much more time to master.
B. Good schools have good teaching qualities.
C. Students should face difficulties bravely while learning.
D. A good teacher can motivate students’ interest in learning.
C
Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量) distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
8. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
C. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. ”
D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
9. People in Los Angeles give directions by time because ________.
A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance
B they prefer to lead you the way
C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles
D. they prefer to use body language
10. Greeks give directions by ________.
A. leading people the way
B. using landmarks
C. using street names
D. giving people a wrong direction
11. Where is Yucatan
A. In the USA. B. In Japan.
C. In Greece. D. In Mexico.
D
Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “The truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical (批判的) thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
If your premises (前提) are shaky or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way. Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
12. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that ________.
A. we have strong beliefs in governments while growing up.
B. we grow up through learning certain things in life.
C. we are forming our views during our growth.
D. we easily believe certain things without a second thought.
13. Nowadays, few professors encourage students to ________.
A. criticize others. B. share the same idea as professors’.
C. support their own views. D. examine his own beliefs.
14. The word “shaky” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. creative. B. firm. C. reasonable. D. weak.
15. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to ________.
A. argue mainly for the sake of arguing.
B. prove it with a good conclusion.
C. support your ideas with a strong argument.
D. examine others’ ideas critically.

During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute,” Mom said.
Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” she asked.
Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”
Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.
