In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!
4. Why was Katherine arranged to the author’s school
A. Katherine likes various activities.
B. Her family settled in a new place.
C. The author is good at teaching deaf children.
D. Her parents were satisfied with Katherine’s teacher.
5. When the author first met her, what was Katherine doing
A. She kept silent. B. She kept crying.
C. She was studying. D. She was writing.
6. What does the underlined word “prompted” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Advised. B. Prevented. C. Convinced. D. Encouraged.
7. What does the author want to show by telling the story in Paragraph 3
A. How Katherine found her backpack.
B. What a kind group the staff were!
C. Why Katherine could make a change.
D. Where her backpack was found.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文，文章从教师的视角记叙了一位有听力障碍的学生——Katherine，她在一次意外事件中发现了写作的力量，并以此为契机成为了更好的自己。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader.”（他们说他们要搬到这里来，并计划把他们聋哑的女儿送到我的学校读一年级。）可知，Katherine被安排到作者的学校，是因为Katherine全家将会搬家至作者学校所在地。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“she didn’t make a sound or use sign language”（她没有发出声音或使用手语。）可知，Katherine当时一直保持沉默。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.”（她的父母一直在那里，她没有发出声音或使用手语，即使她的父母prompted她。）可知，即使父母亲在那里鼓励她，但她一句话也不说，保持沉默。prompt是encourage鼓励的意思，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.”（每次铅笔一出来，她就会停止写作，拒绝写作。）以及第三段“One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.”（一天，凯瑟琳下了车，站在学校门口嚎啕大哭。在场的工作人员不懂手语，无法问她为什么哭。最后，他们迅速把她带进办公室，递给她一支笔和一个记事本。凯瑟琳写道：“PAC BAK。”办公室工作人员立刻意识到她把背包落在公共汽车上了。他们叫那辆巴士回学校，很快凯瑟琳就和她的书包团聚了。），可知，Katherine在学校职工的帮助下“失而复得”自己的背包。第四段“That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. ”（那天凯瑟琳发现了笔的力量。从那时起，她对写作有了新的欣赏。）可知，笔的力量很强大，它让Katherine从一个“拒绝写”的人变为一个作家。作者想要通过讲述这个故事表明Katherine改变的直接理由。故选C。
C
A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.
But how to build a habit of reading Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”
Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.
If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.
8. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit
A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great book.
C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started.
9. What is the advantage of audio-books according to the text
A. They are time saving. B. They provide more pleasure.
C They help brain development. D. They offer more book choices.
10. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea
A. It helps restart reading. B. It is of great convenience(方便).
C. It improves the taste for art. D. It can increase your patience.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Method of killing free time B. Advantages of using audio-books
C. Way to choose educational books D. Advice on developing a reading habit
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些养成阅读习惯的方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading.(阅读最难的部分其实是拿起一本书。你必须坐下来，拿起一本书开始读。)”可知，阅读最难的一部分是拿起一本书开始阅读。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.(有声读物非常适合在你上班、洗碗或在健身房锻炼的路上填满你的大脑)”可推知，有声读物可以节约时间。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure.(如果你还在培养阅读习惯的路上，最好的方法就是重温你以前最喜欢的书，以获得年轻时的阅读乐趣)”和“Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.(重新开始阅读有点像开始画画。需要一些努力才能进入最佳状态，但一旦你开始，结果会是美丽而令人满意的)”可知，重读旧书可以引导你开始阅读。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.(最近的一项研究表明，当谈到阅读的好处时，仅仅阅读比阅读内容更重要。研究人员发现，阅读小说有助于大脑在理解他人和想象世界方面的发展。他们还发现，每周花几个小时读书的人比不读书的人活得更长。)”以及第二段第一句“But how to build a habit of reading (但是如何养成阅读的习惯呢？)”以及后文可知，本文主要给出了养成阅读习惯的建议。故选D项。
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
13. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
14. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了让濒危物种远离我们的菜单的一些方法。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally.(研究人员通过检索工业捕鱼记录，发现了近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售，而且这是合法的)”可知，this指的是上文提及的近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish.(为了解决我们在海洋中造成的混乱，研究人员想出了一些方法，其中之一是将我们对海鲜的概念扩展到水母)”以及“With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.(水母作为食物来源，其他濒危物种可能会被留在海里)”可知，将海鲜的概念扩展到水母，食用水母可能会帮助海洋中其他濒危物种。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.(此外，如果能够更好地促进渔业和保护政策之间的合作，这也很重要。克莱恩补充道：“我们永远不会考虑吃山地大猩猩或大象，这两种动物都处于濒危状态。”)”可知，提及山地大猩猩和大象的目的是为了例证前文提出的建议，支持渔业应更好地与保护政策合作的建议。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish.(为了解决我们在海洋中造成的混乱，研究人员想出了一些方法，其中之一是将我们对海鲜的概念扩展到水母)”以及最后一段“Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu.(当然，还有其他方法可以帮助将濒危物种从菜单中剔除)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了让濒危物种远离我们的菜单的一些方法，推测本文最有可能来自一本杂志。故选D。

“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。故事讲述了一个名叫珍妮的女孩与母亲发生争吵后离家出走。在街上游荡了很长时间后，她感到饥饿，但没有钱买东西。一位摊贩看到了她，主动请她吃面条。面前的面条让珍妮感动得哭了起来，她抱怨自己的母亲对她无情而陌生人却对她友善。摊贩告诉她要感激母亲的养育之恩。
【46题详解】
考查名词，形容词和动词。句意：一天下午，珍妮和妈妈吵了一架，生气地离开了家。她很伤心，哭了起来。珍妮在街上徘徊了几个小时，感到饿了。她期待着吃点东西，但这对她来说是不可能的。一个小贩和珍妮聊了一会儿，并请她吃了一碗面条。她被感动了，默默地哭了起来，因为卖家的善良。珍妮向卖主道谢，并抱怨说她妈妈对她一点也不关心。她认为她的母亲对她很严格。分析句子，第一空中使用名词作宾语，根据原文中的“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. (那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架，生气地跑出了房子。)”可知，珍妮非常生气地跑出了房子，第一空使用angry的名词anger作宾语；第二空使用形容词作表语，此处表示“伤心的”，故使用形容词sorrowful；第三空中所在的句子中felt为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，根据文中“Wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. (她在街上漫无目的地游荡了几个小时，觉得有点饿了，想要吃点东西，但这对她来说是不可能的，因为她什么也没带。)”可知，此处表示珍妮游荡在街上，此处she与wander之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词作状语，同时该空置于句首，故用Wandering；第四空使用动词作谓语，此处表示过去事实，故使用一般过去时，此处表示“希望”用expect，故填expected；第五空使用形容词作表语，此处表示“不可能的”故用impossible；根据原文信息““That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”(“这是什么。今天我请你，”那人说。“进来。”)”可知，是陌生人招待了珍妮，此处表示过去事实，故使用一般过去时，表示“招待”用treat，故填treated；根据原文““Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.( “没什么，其实我只是被你的善良感动了!”珍妮一边擦眼泪一边说。)”可知，第七空使用形容词作表语，表示“感动的”用moved；第八空使用名词作宾语，此处表示“善良”用kindness；根据原文““Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!”(“即使是街上的陌生人也会给我一碗面条，而我妈妈会把我赶出家门。她对我毫不关心。与陌生人相比，她是如此无情”)”可知，此处表示珍妮对母亲抱怨，同时句子描述过去事实，故使用一般过去时。表示“抱怨”用complain，故第九空complained；根据原文信息，此处表示“珍妮认为母亲对其很严格”，此处使用形容词作作表语，故填strict。故答案为anger；sorrowful；Wandering；expected；impossible；treated；moved；kindness；complained；strict。
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping (哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother.( 那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架，生气地跑出了房子。一想到母亲的责骂，她就忍不住伤心地哭了起来)”可知，跑出房子后，她感到愤怒和悲伤。故答案为She felt angry and sorrowful.
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl,do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thank me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”(听了这话，摊主笑了：“姑娘，你真的这么想吗 我只给了你一碗面条，你却非常感谢我。但是，是你的母亲把你从小养大的。你还记得她给你做饭的时候吗？你向她表示感谢了吗 ”)”可知，摊贩告诉珍妮要感激母亲的养育之恩，珍妮听了摊主话之后，她会回到家后跟母亲道歉，并且要感激母亲的养育之恩。故答案为Jenny apologized to her mother and thanked her mother for raising her.

In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!

A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.
But how to build a habit of reading Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”
Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.
If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.
8. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit
A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great book.
C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started.
9. What is the advantage of audio-books according to the text
A. They are time saving. B. They provide more pleasure.
C. They help brain development. D. They offer more book choices.
10. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea
A. It helps restart reading. B. It is of great convenience(方便).
C. It improves the taste for art. D. It can increase your patience.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Method of killing free time B. Advantages of using audio-books
C. Way to choose educational books D. Advice on developing a reading habit
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
13. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
14. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping (哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes. . . but I don’t have money on me…” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl,do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thank me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
