Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　As the world around them is changing， teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents.Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely to involve （牵涉） themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth， because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.
Peer （同龄人） pressure has always been a big part of the teens’ experience.Even the best father can’t completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group.However， studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist （抵抗） the more bad effects of peer pressure， taking drugs， for example.
Teens may not like to admit it， but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example.An interesting finding explains just how important parents are， especially Dad.Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church， even though Mom doesn’t， 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults.But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up， only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.
Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices， especially in their late teens.Fathers don’t get to make those choices for them， but they can be influenced.For example， teenagers can learn a lot from their parents’ concern on what to do when they finish high school.Should they go directly to college and， if so， where？ Should they consider going to trade schools， joining the army or looking for a job？ A father’s guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.
1.What are teenagers without fathers’ focus likely to do？
A.To have higher self-worth.
B.To experience some dangerous things.
C.To become the best students in school.
D.To resist all bad effects of peer pressure.
2.What does the third paragraph tell us？
A.More teenagers pay no attention to their parents.
B.Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models.
C.Teenagers never attend church with their mothers.
D.Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perspective” in the last paragraph？
A.point of view B.job
C.school D.concern
4.What can we learn from the text？
A.Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly.
B.Teenagers care less about what their parents do.
C.Mothers have no effect on their children’s lives.
D.Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers.

　　Lovers of language and a little friendly competition have played the game of Scrabble （拼字游戏） for generations， but this best-selling board game has a lesser-known history， which began in our own backyard.
At the Queens Library at Fresh Meadows， a neighbourhood in New York City， three friends meet weekly.Lynne Sherman， Pauline Bekele and Mona Fabricant first got to know each other in retirement over a game of Scrabble.They’ve kept their relationships for years thanks to meetings with the library’s Scrabble Club.
Their friendly competitions take place just a few neighbourhoods away from a Scrabble landmark.Early versions of the game were first played in the social room at the Community United Methodist Church in Jackson Heights， a neighbourhood in the northwestern corner of Queens.Standing at that place is a Scrabble-style street sign with letters showing points， just like in the game.
“Only people who know about the game of Scrabble are going to know at once what it is， and that’s why it’s my favourite sign， because it’s unique，” said Jason D.Antos， the executive director of the Queens Historical Society.
A game of strategy requiring spelling skills， a bit of math and the luck of the draw， Scrabble has left its mark.But who is the mastermind behind the beloved board game？
Antos said the creator was Alfred Mosher Butts， a local man of Jackson Heights who loved mind games.Butts came up with the idea for the game during the Great Depression， when he was a jobless architect living in a fifth-floor walk-up.Wanting to put some bread on the table， he turned his attention to the game.The rights to the game were later bought in 1948 by James Brunot， a retired director of the War Relief Control Board.It was Brunot who gave the game its popular name， Scrabble.
Today， Scrabble is played in English from India to Senegal and is sold in more than 30 languages.Nigeria often wins international competitions.From a competitive sport to a mind-expanding （拓展思维的） exercise， the game means different things to different people.
Back at the library， there’s one reason above all to play Scrabble.
“Just — it’s fun，” Sherman said.
5.What can we learn about the game of Scrabble from Paragraph 2？
A.It is a favourite of the elderly.
B.It serves as a bridge of friendship.
C.It makes the Queens Library well-known.
D.It encourages different styles of board games.
6.What makes the street sign unique according to Antos？
A.It was designed by him.
B.It stands in the heart of Queens.
C.It is connected to Scrabble.
D.It symbolizes friendly competitions.
7.Why did Butts begin to study the game？
A.To pass the time.
B.To make a living.
C.To challenge Brunot’s invention.
D.To get attention from the public.
8.What is the best title for the text？
A.Scrabble： Building Words， Building Connections
B.Scrabble： Where Language， Strategy， and Luck Meet
C.Jackson Heights’ Gift to the Elderly： The Game of Scrabble
D.From Jackson Heights to the World： The Journey of Scrabble

　　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。
　　When I was in seventh grade， my parents paid a tutor （家庭教师） forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math.It ended up raising my marks from fifty to fifty-five.
I had to admit it was mainly my fault.Maybe I should have concentrated my math from the beginning.But studying math was a tough thing.Sitting on a chair to work on confusing math problems for two hours was a slow and painful process.During the process， I would fidget （坐立不安） and have many trips to the refrigerator in an attempt to get off that chair for at least five minutes.
During math tests， my teachers would always stay by my desk.My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests， “How’s your math this time？” So I became extremely afraid of math.While normal people of my age were scared of some insects and adventurous travels， I feared anything to do with numbers.The thought of a teacher picking on me in class made me feel scared.The red marks on the test paper were also terrifying.
My fear of math got worse in ninth grade.Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage me， “I’m glad to do what I can to help you.” But I couldn’t tell her the real reason why I didn’t ask for help — I didn’t want to be considered stupid.Every question I had was， in my opinion at the time， something that the whole class had understood but I.So instead， I ended up not caring about anything related to math， without working hard on math at all.And I concluded everything would work out in the end.
Eventually， my classmates and I took the final test that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school.Days after the exam — on a rainy summer morning， Ms Robbins called me.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了父亲在孩子成长过程中影响很大，能减小孩子做危险事情的几率，还能让孩子在学校更容易成功和发展更高的自我价值。
1.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的Studies show that teens who ...develop higher self-worth可知，研究表明，与父亲关系积极的青少年不太可能参与危险行为，他们更有可能在学校取得成功，并发展出更高的自我价值。因此在父爱缺失的情况下，会出现与上述相反的情形，即没有父亲的关注可能会经历一些危险的事情。
2.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中they are watching ...especially Dad和后面的例子可知，孩子们的行为受家长影响，尤其是父亲的影响最大。由此可以推断出，孩子们经常会效仿父亲的行为，以父亲为榜样。
3.A　词义猜测题。此处指父亲的指导会给孩子带来对这些重要决定的一个长期的看法，这些往往是孩子们缺乏的。根据画线词上文Should they go directly ...for a job？及本句中to these important decisions可知，画线词perspective指“观点”，与point of view同义。
4.D　推理判断题。文章说明了父亲在孩子成长过程中影响很大，能减小孩子做危险事情的概率，还能让孩子在学校更容易成功和发展更高的自我价值，孩子会效仿父亲的行为，父亲的观点会有长期的影响。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拼字游戏的历史和现状。
5.B　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，这三位朋友每周在Queens Library见面，通过拼字游戏收获了深厚的友谊，所以从本段中我们可以推断出拼字游戏是友谊的桥梁。
6.C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段中Antos所说的话可知，在人们最先开始玩拼字游戏的地方有一个路标，这个路标具有拼字游戏风格，上面有表示分数的字母，Antos说只有了解拼字游戏的人才会立刻知道它是什么，它很独特。因此这个路标的独特之处应该是指具有拼字游戏的风格。
7.B　细节理解题。根据第六段第二、三句可知，Butts是建筑师，大萧条时期他失业在家，为了谋生，他开始钻研拼字游戏。
8.D　标题归纳题。拼字游戏在全球各地广为流行，该游戏起源于纽约市皇后区的Jackson Heights社区，由该社区的建筑师Alfred Mosher Butts发明，James Brunot购买游戏的版权后，给它起名为Scrabble。D项体现了本文的主旨，突出了拼字游戏在Jackson Heights的起源及其在全球的流行，为文章最佳标题。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种帮助孩子克服恐惧的办法。
9.C　根据空前一句We have to know how to help kids not be afraid.及下文提到的四条建议可知，设空处为承上启下的句子。因此，C项符合语境。
10.D　根据本段小标题Pay attention to their fears.和空后一句At the same time， come beside them in dealing with fears.可知，D项符合语境。
11.G　根据空后的it doesn’t mean it’s silly to them可推断，设空处内容应该和愚蠢的事情相关。因此，G项符合语境。
12.F　根据空后的but it will also build confidence and a connection between you可知，F项符合语境。
13.A　根据本段内容，尤其是You need to stay patient as long as it takes.可知，A项适合作本段的小标题。

　　With worry and uncertainty， I entered her office.After asking me to sit down， she told me that I failed the math test.And she suggested that I should spend another year in middle school if I wanted to be admitted to a relatively good high school.I burst into tears when I heard the news.Seeing that， Ms Robbins came to comfort and encourage me， and said she’d like to offer any help if necessary.After leaving her office， I was anxious， wondering how to tell the bad news to my parents.
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news， they were silent.My body shook， waiting for their blame.However， they encouraged me to have another try in ninth grade.It was then that I determined to take math seriously.The following day， I turned to Ms Robbins for help and told her about my determination.Ms Robbins was happy that I finally decided to work hard on math.Thanks to her patient guidance， I made great progress and was not afraid of math any more.Finally， I made my way to a good high school and a university.Now I’m a doctor and I’m proud of myself.

Mama and Her Bank Account①
[1]Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out② the money Papa had brought home.
　　“For the rent③.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces.
　　“For the groceries④.” Another group of coins.
　　“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine， my brother Nels or me.
　　Mama would put one or two coins to the side.We would watch with anxious interest.At last， Papa would ask， “Is that all？” And when Mama nodded， we could relax⑤ a little.Mama would look up and smile， “Good.We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of⑥ Mama’s Bank Account.It gave us such a warm， secure⑦ feeling.
When Nels graduated⑧ from grammar school， he wanted to go on to high school.“It will cost a little money，” he said.
　　Eagerly we gathered⑨ around the table.I took down a box and laid⑩ it carefully in front of Mama.This was the “Little Bank”.[2]It was used for sudden emergencies ， such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.
　　[1]would do表示“过去常常做”。sit， count out作并列谓语，Papa had brought home为省略了关系代词which/that的定语从句，修饰先行词the money。
　　[2]when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the time。
　　Nels listed the costs of the things he would need.Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank.There was not enough.“We do not want to go to the Bank，” she reminded.We all shook our heads .
　　“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school，” Nels volunteered .
　　Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number.“That’s not enough，” Papa said.Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time.“I will give up smoking，” he said suddenly.

　　Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm.Then she wrote down another figure .

　　[6]It是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to be afraid — to not feel secure，破折号起解释说明的作用。

妈妈的银行账户
　　每个星期六的晚上，妈妈都会坐在餐桌旁，清点爸爸带回家的钱。
　　“这些付房租。” 妈妈会把大面额的银币点出来。
“这些买生活用品。”又是一摞硬币。
“我需要一个笔记本。”说这话的，通常是我的妹妹克里斯蒂娜，或是我的哥哥内尔斯，要不就是我。
妈妈听完会拿出一两个硬币到一旁。我们几个都会紧张地看着。最后，爸爸会问：“就这些了？”妈妈点点头，我们几个都稍稍松了口气。妈妈会抬起头，微笑着说：“太好了，我们不用去银行啦。”我们所有人都为妈妈的银行账户感到十分自豪，它让我们感到如此温暖、踏实。
　　从文法学校毕业后，内尔斯想继续读高中，“上学要花点儿钱。”他说。
于是一家人又急切地围到了餐桌旁。我取下一个盒子，小心翼翼地放在妈妈面前。这个小盒子是我们的“小金库”。它是用来应对家中不时之需的，比如有一回，克里斯蒂娜摔断了胳膊，必须得送医院。
内尔斯先列出了他所需物品的开支清单。妈妈清点了“小金库”里所有的钱——还是不够。“大家都不想动银行里的存款吧！”妈妈提醒。 我们几个都摇了摇头。
　　“我放学后可以去狄龙的杂货店打工。”内尔斯自告奋勇地说。
　　妈妈给了哥哥一个灿烂的笑容，然后记下一个数字。“还是不够，”爸爸说。然后他取下了嘴里的烟斗，对着它端详了半晌。“我把烟戒了，”他冷不丁地说。
　　妈妈将手伸到餐桌对面，碰了下爸爸的胳膊。然后她记下了另一个数字。
　　“我每周五晚上可以去照看埃尔温顿家的孩子，”我说，“克里斯蒂娜可以帮我。”
　　现在钱终于凑足了。大家都很开心，因为我们不用去城里从妈妈的银行账户里取钱了。
　　那一年，“小金库”应付了很多事：克里斯蒂娜参加学校演出的裙子、我小妹妹达格玛的手术……无论发生什么事，我们总是知道我们还有“银行”可以依靠。
　　一转眼二十年过去了。
　　去年，我卖出了我的第一部小说。拿到支票后，我迫不及待地冲到妈妈家里，把支票放到她的膝上。“给您的，”我说，“存到您的银行账户里吧！”
　　我第一次发现，爸爸妈妈看起来苍老了很多。爸爸似乎变矮了，而妈妈如今已是满头银发。
　　“明天，”我给妈妈说，“您一定要把这笔钱存到银行里。”
　　“你会跟我一块儿去的吧，凯特琳？”
　　“没必要啦，您把支票交给出纳员就行。他会把钱存入您的账户的。”

Mama and Her Bank Account①
[1]Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table
and count out② the money Papa had brought home.
　　“For the rent③.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces.
　　“For the groceries④.” Another group of coins.
　　“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine， my
brother Nels or me.
　　Mama would put one or two coins to the side.We would watch with
anxious interest.At last， Papa would ask， “Is that all？” And when
Mama nodded， we could relax⑤ a little.Mama would look up and
smile， “Good.We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so
proud of⑥ Mama’s Bank Account.It gave us such a warm， secure⑦
feeling.
When Nels graduated⑧ from grammar school， he wanted to go on to
high school.“It will cost a little money，” he said.
　　Eagerly we gathered⑨ around the table.I took down a box and laid⑩
it carefully in front of Mama.This was the “Little Bank”.[2]It was
used for sudden emergencies ， such as the time when Christine broke
her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.
　　[1]would do表示“过去常常做”。sit， count out作并列谓语，
Papa had brought home为省略了关系代词which/that的定语从句，修饰
先行词the money。
　　[2]when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the time。
　　Nels listed the costs of the things he would need.Mama counted out
the money in the Little Bank.There was not enough.“We do not want to
go to the Bank，” she reminded.We all shook our heads .
　　“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school，” Nels volunteered
.
　　Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a
number.“That’s not enough，” Papa said.Then he took his pipe out
of his mouth and looked at it for a long time.“I will give up smoking，”
he said suddenly.
　　Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm.Then she
wrote down another figure .
　　“I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night，” I
said.“Christine can help me.”
　　Now there was enough money.[3]We all felt very good because we
did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank
Account.
　　So many things came out of the Little Bank that year： Christine’s
dress for the school play， my little sister Dagmar’s
operation ...[4]Whatever happened， we always knew we still had the
Bank to depend upon .
　　[3]句中because引导原因状语从句，从句中and连接两个并列
谓语。
　　[4]句中Whatever引导让步状语从句。we still had the Bank
to depend upon是省略了引导词that的宾语从句。
　　That was twenty years ago.
　　Last year I sold my first story.When the check came， I hurried
over to Mama’s and put it in her lap .“For you，” I said， “to put
in your Bank Account.”
　　[5]I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked.Papa
seemed shorter， and Mama’s hair was silver now.
　　“Tomorrow，” I told Mama， “you must take it to the Bank.”
　　“You will go with me， Katrin？”
　　“That won’t be necessary.Just hand it to the teller.He’ll pay it
into your account .”
　　Mama looked at me.“There is no account，” she said.“In all my
life， I’ve never been inside a bank.”
　　And when I didn’t — couldn’t — answer， Mama said
seriously， [6]“It is not good for little ones to be afraid — to not feel
secure.”
　　[5]how old Mama and Papa looked是宾语从句。for the first time
作时间状语。
　　[6]It是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to be
afraid — to not feel secure，破折号起解释说明的作用。

妈妈的银行账户
　　每个星期六的晚上，妈妈都会坐在餐桌旁，清点爸爸带回家
的钱。
　　“这些付房租。” 妈妈会把大面额的银币点出来。
“这些买生活用品。”又是一摞硬币。
“我需要一个笔记本。”说这话的，通常是我的妹妹克里斯蒂
娜，或是我的哥哥内尔斯，要不就是我。
妈妈听完会拿出一两个硬币到一旁。我们几个都会紧张地看着。
最后，爸爸会问：“就这些了？”妈妈点点头，我们几个都稍稍松了
口气。妈妈会抬起头，微笑着说：“太好了，我们不用去银行啦。”
我们所有人都为妈妈的银行账户感到十分自豪，它让我们感到如此温
暖、踏实。
从文法学校毕业后，内尔斯想继续读高中，“上学要花点儿
钱。”他说。
于是一家人又急切地围到了餐桌旁。我取下一个盒子，小心
翼翼地放在妈妈面前。这个小盒子是我们的“小金库”。它是用
来应对家中不时之需的，比如有一回，克里斯蒂娜摔断了胳膊，
必须得送医院。
　　内尔斯先列出了他所需物品的开支清单。妈妈清点了“小金库”
里所有的钱——还是不够。“大家都不想动银行里的存款吧！”妈妈
提醒。 我们几个都摇了摇头。
　　“我放学后可以去狄龙的杂货店打工。”内尔斯自告奋勇地说。
　　妈妈给了哥哥一个灿烂的笑容，然后记下一个数字。“还是不
够，”爸爸说。然后他取下了嘴里的烟斗，对着它端详了半晌。“我
把烟戒了，”他冷不丁地说。
　　妈妈将手伸到餐桌对面，碰了下爸爸的胳膊。然后她记下了另一
个数字。
　　“我每周五晚上可以去照看埃尔温顿家的孩子，”我说，“克里
斯蒂娜可以帮我。”
　　现在钱终于凑足了。大家都很开心，因为我们不用去城里从妈妈
的银行账户里取钱了。
　　那一年，“小金库”应付了很多事：克里斯蒂娜参加学校演出的
裙子、我小妹妹达格玛的手术……无论发生什么事，我们总是知道我
们还有“银行”可以依靠。
　　一转眼二十年过去了。
　　去年，我卖出了我的第一部小说。拿到支票后，我迫不及待地冲
到妈妈家里，把支票放到她的膝上。“给您的，”我说，“存到您的
银行账户里吧！”
　　我第一次发现，爸爸妈妈看起来苍老了很多。爸爸似乎变矮了，
而妈妈如今已是满头银发。
　　“明天，”我给妈妈说，“您一定要把这笔钱存到银行里。”
　　“你会跟我一块儿去的吧，凯特琳？”
　　“没必要啦，您把支票交给出纳员就行。他会把钱存入您的账户
的。”
　　妈妈看着我。“根本就没有银行账户，”她说，“我这辈子压根
都没踏进过银行一步。”
　　那一刻，我没有说什么，也什么都说不出来，妈妈认真地说：
“让小孩子感到害怕，没有安全感，不是一件好．事．。”

　　As the world around them is changing， teenagers continue to need
guidance and support from both parents.Studies show that teens who have
an active relationship with their fathers are less likely to involve （牵涉）
themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school
and develop higher self-worth， because their fathers go beyond social
expectations to devote attention to them.
Peer （同龄人） pressure has always been a big part of the teens’
experience.Even the best father can’t completely protect their kids from
the growing influence of their peer group.However， studies show that
teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist （抵
抗） the more bad effects of peer pressure， taking drugs， for example.
Teens may not like to admit it， but they are watching their parents
closely and often follow their example.An interesting finding explains just
how important parents are， especially Dad.Swiss researchers discovered
that if Dad attends church， even though Mom doesn’t， 44 percent of
the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults.But if Mom
goes regularly and Dad never shows up， only 2 percent of the kids
continue to attend.
Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices， especially in their late
teens.Fathers don’t get to make those choices for them， but they can be
influenced.For example， teenagers can learn a lot from their parents’
concern on what to do when they finish high school.Should they go
directly to college and， if so， where？ Should they consider going to
trade schools， joining the army or looking for a job？ A father’s
guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these
important decisions.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了父亲在孩子成长过程中
影响很大，能减小孩子做危险事情的几率，还能让孩子在学校更容
易成功和发展更高的自我价值。
1. What are teenagers without fathers’ focus likely to do？
A. To have higher self-worth.
B. To experience some dangerous things.
C. To become the best students in school.
D. To resist all bad effects of peer pressure.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了父亲在孩子成长过程中
影响很大，能减小孩子做危险事情的几率，还能让孩子在学校更容
易成功和发展更高的自我价值。
解析： 　推理判断题。根据第一段中的Studies show that teens
who ...develop higher self-worth可知，研究表明，与父亲关系积极
的青少年不太可能参与危险行为，他们更有可能在学校取得成功，
并发展出更高的自我价值。因此在父爱缺失的情况下，会出现与上
述相反的情形，即没有父亲的关注可能会经历一些危险的事情。
2. What does the third paragraph tell us？
A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parents.
B. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models.
C. Teenagers never attend church with their mothers.
D. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers.
解析： 　推理判断题。根据第三段中they are
watching ...especially Dad和后面的例子可知，孩子们的行为受家
长影响，尤其是父亲的影响最大。由此可以推断出，孩子们经常会
效仿父亲的行为，以父亲为榜样。
3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word
“perspective” in the last paragraph？
A. point of view B. job
C. school D. concern
解析： 　词义猜测题。此处指父亲的指导会给孩子带来对这
些重要决定的一个长期的看法，这些往往是孩子们缺乏的。根
据画线词上文Should they go directly ...for a job？及本句中to
these important decisions可知，画线词perspective指“观
点”，与point of view同义。
4. What can we learn from the text？
A. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly.
B. Teenagers care less about what their parents do.
C. Mothers have no effect on their children’s lives.
D. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers.
解析： 　推理判断题。文章说明了父亲在孩子成长过程中影响很
大，能减小孩子做危险事情的概率，还能让孩子在学校更容易成功
和发展更高的自我价值，孩子会效仿父亲的行为，父亲的观点会有
长期的影响。

　　Lovers of language and a little friendly competition have played the
game of Scrabble （拼字游戏） for generations， but this best-selling
board game has a lesser-known history， which began in our own
backyard.
At the Queens Library at Fresh Meadows， a neighbourhood in New
York City， three friends meet weekly.Lynne Sherman， Pauline Bekele
and Mona Fabricant first got to know each other in retirement over a game
of Scrabble.They’ve kept their relationships for years thanks to meetings
with the library’s Scrabble Club.
Their friendly competitions take place just a few neighbourhoods
away from a Scrabble landmark.Early versions of the game were first
played in the social room at the Community United Methodist Church in
Jackson Heights， a neighbourhood in the northwestern corner of
Queens.Standing at that place is a Scrabble-style street sign with letters
showing points， just like in the game.
“Only people who know about the game of Scrabble are going to
know at once what it is， and that’s why it’s my favourite sign，
because it’s unique，” said Jason D. Antos， the executive director of
the Queens Historical Society.
A game of strategy requiring spelling skills， a bit of math and the
luck of the draw， Scrabble has left its mark.But who is the mastermind
behind the beloved board game？
Antos said the creator was Alfred Mosher Butts， a local man of
Jackson Heights who loved mind games.Butts came up with the idea for
the game during the Great Depression， when he was a jobless architect
living in a fifth-floor walk-up.Wanting to put some bread on the table， he
turned his attention to the game.The rights to the game were later bought
in 1948 by James Brunot， a retired director of the War Relief Control
Board.It was Brunot who gave the game its popular name， Scrabble.
Today， Scrabble is played in English from India to Senegal and is
sold in more than 30 languages.Nigeria often wins international
competitions.From a competitive sport to a mind-expanding （拓展思维
的） exercise， the game means different things to different people.
Back at the library， there’s one reason above all to play Scrabble.
“Just — it’s fun，” Sherman said.

5. What can we learn about the game of Scrabble from Paragraph 2？
A. It is a favourite of the elderly.
B. It serves as a bridge of friendship.
C. It makes the Queens Library well-known.
D. It encourages different styles of board games.
解析： 　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，这三位朋友每周在
Queens Library见面，通过拼字游戏收获了深厚的友谊，所以从本
段中我们可以推断出拼字游戏是友谊的桥梁。
6. What makes the street sign unique according to Antos？
A. It was designed by him.
B. It stands in the heart of Queens.
C. It is connected to Scrabble.
D. It symbolizes friendly competitions.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段中Antos所说
的话可知，在人们最先开始玩拼字游戏的地方有一个路标，这个路
标具有拼字游戏风格，上面有表示分数的字母，Antos说只有了解
拼字游戏的人才会立刻知道它是什么，它很独特。因此这个路标的
独特之处应该是指具有拼字游戏的风格。
7. Why did Butts begin to study the game？
A. To pass the time.
B. To make a living.
C. To challenge Brunot’s invention.
D. To get attention from the public.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第六段第二、三句可知，Butts是建筑
师，大萧条时期他失业在家，为了谋生，他开始钻研拼字游戏。
8. What is the best title for the text？
A. Scrabble： Building Words， Building Connections
B. Scrabble： Where Language， Strategy， and Luck Meet
C. Jackson Heights’ Gift to the Elderly： The Game of Scrabble
D. From Jackson Heights to the World： The Journey of Scrabble
解析： 　标题归纳题。拼字游戏在全球各地广为流行，该游戏起
源于纽约市皇后区的Jackson Heights社区，由该社区的建筑师
Alfred Mosher Butts发明，James Brunot购买游戏的版权后，给它起
名为Scrabble。D项体现了本文的主旨，突出了拼字游戏在Jackson
Heights的起源及其在全球的流行，为文章最佳标题。

Ⅳ.读后续写
　　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。
　　When I was in seventh grade， my parents paid a tutor （家庭教
师） forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with
math.It ended up raising my marks from fifty to fifty-five.
I had to admit it was mainly my fault.Maybe I should have
concentrated my math from the beginning.But studying math was a tough
thing.Sitting on a chair to work on confusing math problems for two hours
was a slow and painful process.During the process， I would fidget （坐
立不安） and have many trips to the refrigerator in an attempt to get off
that chair for at least five minutes.
During math tests， my teachers would always stay by my desk.My
teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests，
“How’s your math this time？” So I became extremely afraid of
math.While normal people of my age were scared of some insects and
adventurous travels， I feared anything to do with numbers.The thought
of a teacher picking on me in class made me feel scared.The red marks on
the test paper were also terrifying.
My fear of math got worse in ninth grade.Every report card I received
from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage
me， “I’m glad to do what I can to help you.” But I couldn’t tell her
the real reason why I didn’t ask for help — I didn’t want to be
considered stupid.Every question I had was， in my opinion at the time，
something that the whole class had understood but I. So instead， I ended
up not caring about anything related to math， without working hard on
math at all.And I concluded everything would work out in the end.
Eventually， my classmates and I took the final test that would lead
to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school.Days
after the exam — on a rainy summer morning， Ms Robbins called me.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　With worry and uncertainty， I entered her office. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
　　After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news， they
were silent. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
参考范文：
With worry and uncertainty， I entered her office.After asking me to
sit down， she told me that I failed the math test.And she suggested that I
should spend another year in middle school if I wanted to be admitted to a
relatively good high school.I burst into tears when I heard the
news.Seeing that， Ms Robbins came to comfort and encourage me， and
said she’d like to offer any help if necessary.After leaving her office， I
was anxious， wondering how to tell the bad news to my parents.
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news， they were
silent.My body shook， waiting for their blame.However， they
encouraged me to have another try in ninth grade.It was then that I
determined to take math seriously.The following day， I turned to Ms
Robbins for help and told her about my determination.Ms Robbins was
happy that I finally decided to work hard on math.Thanks to her patient
guidance， I made great progress and was not afraid of math any
more.Finally， I made my way to a good high school and a
university.Now I’m a doctor and I’m proud of myself.
谢谢观看！
