Three years later, I quit a dead-end job and returned college. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused with college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly-dressed woman walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,” she said. “You’re here to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!” I can’t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career and my life.‎ Mrs. Smith didn’t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she speaking directly to me. Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits you. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math. As for English composition, she gave us writing assignments we could relate to. “Go for the best, kid. You’re worth it,” she’d say.‎ I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor’s degrees. Today, as a college instructor, each fall when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs. Smith and how much teachers can affect their students. She couldn’t have known it when she gave that pep talk, but she made a huge difference in my life.‎ ‎4. Why did the author want to quit school again?‎ A. He wanted to return to hid former job. B.

Always believe in yourself.‎ B. Never quit before trying.‎ C. Experience is worth valuing.‎ D. A lady changed my life in time.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，作者再次回到大学以后发现大学代数太难了，而且阅读和写作的作业任务很重，作者又有了放弃的想法。在MRs Smith的鼓励下，通过努力最后成为了一名大学教师，正是MRs Smith改变了作者的人生道路。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段45句I was confused with college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again.可知当作者再次回到校园的时候，发现大学代数太难了，而且阅读和写作的作业任务很重，作者又有了放弃的想法。故C项正确。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段倒数23句“Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,” she said. “You’re here to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!”可知Mrs. Smith鼓励作者努力为更好的自己而奋斗，并认为他们可以成功。再根据本段最后一句I can’t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career and my life.‎ 可知她的话给了作者很大的鼓励和信心。故D项正确。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二题Today, as a college instructor, each fall when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs. Smith and how much teachers can affect their students.可知作者后来成为了一名大学老师，并且受到MRs Smith的影响，也要给学生带来好的影响。故A项正确。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。作者再次回到大学以后发现大学代数太难了，而且阅读和写作的作业任务很重，作者又有了放弃的想法。在MRs Smith的鼓励下，通过努力最后成为了一名大学教师，正是MRs Smith改变了作者的人生道路。D项“A lady changed my life in time.”与文章主旨一致。故选D项。‎ ‎【点睛】本文小题1属于细节理解题中的因果推断题，根据第一段中I was confused with college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again.可知当作者再次回到校园的时候，发现大学代数太难了，而且阅读和写作的作业任务很重，作者又有了放弃的想法。‎ 此类题型要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因或根据已有的原因推断可能的结果。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。最关键的是要找准事物间存在的因果关系信息，根据已有信息，进行分析判断推理，从而推出最符合逻辑的原因或判断出最可能导致的结果。‎ C In the story of “The Crow and the Pitcher”（乌鸦和水罐）from Aesop’s Fables（伊索寓言）, a thirsty crow drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.‎ Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggests that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.‎ Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or pieces of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged a bunch of heavy rubber erasers that would sink, and light plastic objects that would float. The crows found out ‎ that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.‎ However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into the narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.‎ Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.‎ ‎8. What does the text focus on?‎ A. Aesop’s prediction. B. Crows’ intelligence.‎ C. The development of crows. D. Human-animal communication.‎ ‎9. How did the crows get the worm in a tube in Sarah’s experiment?‎ A. By dropping in the heavy erasers. B. By removing the plastic objects.‎ C. By standing on the wood. D. By breaking the tube.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined part “the treat” in paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. the tube. B. The object.‎ C. the snack. D. The water ‎11. What did the experiment with wide and narrow tubes show?‎ A. Crows are sensitive to surroundings.‎ B. Crows have the ability to recognize shapes.‎ C. Crows are cleverer than chimps and children.‎ D. Crows understand water displacement incompletely.‎ ‎【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎“乌鸦和投手”的故事来自伊索寓言。一只口渴的乌鸦(乌鸦)滴石头进入了一个狭窄的jar提高低水平的水里面,所以他可以喝。现在科学家有证据支持这个说法。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ B 推理判断题。根据第二段中New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.可知，这篇课文讲的是Crow的智力。故选B。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ A 细节理解题。根据第三段中The crows found out that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.可知，在Sarah的实验中乌鸦通过落下沉重的橡皮擦进入管子里来得到虫子。根据句意可知答案为A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ C 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. 研究人员说，这些鸟在实验中笨拙地进行了实验，在实验中，它们可以选择将物体放入宽管或窄管中，以获得零食。可知，Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. （将物体放入狭窄的管道中，将会使水位上升更多，并在两滴之后将其置于可及的范围内。）中的the treat指的是The snack。 ‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ D 推理判断题。根据第四段中Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.可知，乌鸦不完全理解水的位移。由此可知答案为D。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键，这也是近年来高考考查的热点。最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义，抓住所需推断词汇前后的含义找出正确答案。本题第3‎ 小题是词义猜测题，根据第四段第一句the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. 研究人员说，这些鸟在实验中笨拙地进行了实验，在实验中，它们可以选择将物体放入宽管或窄管中，以获得零食。可知，Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. （将物体放入狭窄的管道中，将会使水位上升更多，并在两滴之后将其置于可及的范围内。）中的the treat指的是The snack。 ‎ D ‎“No pains, no gains.” gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?‎ When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle(恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, your poor progress fueling further annoyance.‎ Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions. It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle(懒散的)company. People, who are bored and looking to be distracted, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than study. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score in games rather than productive revision.‎ If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation(孤立). And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.‎ ‎12. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ___________.‎ A. introduce an effective studying means B. encourage us to work as hard as possible C. remind us to balance activities and study D. discuss the importance of family company ‎13. What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ A. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.‎ B. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.‎ C. A favorable interest might lead to effective revision.‎ D. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.‎ ‎14. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that ___________.‎ A. playing video games is helpful for an effective study B. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player C. one should study from certain activities that one is interested in D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get ‎15. If you are studying in a noisy environment, you’d better ___________.‎ A. think twice before taking any action B. give up others’ company at once C. give indication of not wanting to be interrupted D. force yourself to be accustomed to the environment ‎【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，当我们发现学习很无聊乏味，缺乏效率的时候，可以尝试着在别人的陪同下学习，这种方法可以帮助我们克服之前对学习的消极看法，重新集中注意力于学习。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段内容以及第三段第一句Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that可知当我们发现学习很无聊乏味的时候，可以尝试着在别人的陪同下学习，这种方法可以帮助我们战胜之前对学习的消极看法，重新集中注意力于学习。作者在文章里提出了这种新的学习方法。故A项正确。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off.可知儿童可以从玩耍中学习，我们可以从做中学，可以从练习自己感兴趣的学习技巧中学习，可以提高学习的效率。也就是说兴趣会带来有效的复习。故C项正确。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据划线句“Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score in games rather than productive revision.”可知和喜欢玩游戏的人一起最终会让你在游戏方面获得高分而不是高效的复习。由此可见作者反对我们和喜欢玩游戏的人在一起学习。故B项正确。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.可知如果我们在一个嘈杂的环境里学习，可以带上耳机或放一些背景音乐，这些措施提醒别人不要打扰你学习。所以说在嘈杂的环境里你要给别人不想被打扰的暗示。故C项正确。‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A gratitude journal is a great way to keep yourself in a positive state of mind. This article will offer some tips for starting and keeping one.‎ ‎1.Make it a rule to write down things you are thankful for per day. ____16____This will make writing the journal more challenging as time goes on, but that's how your awareness and thankfulness will grow.

D ‎ ‎20. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，感恩日记是让我们保持积极心态的好方法，本篇文章提供了五点写作感恩日记的建议。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据横线后一句“This will make writing the journal more challenging as time goes on”可知随着时间的推延，人们会发现写日记变得越来越困难，要避免每天记录同样的事情，要记录不同的事情，所以才会感觉困难。A项“Avoid repeating the same things”符合上下文语境，故选A项。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据横线后两句“For example, if you love to paint, you may be grateful for the paint that you have. Or, if you like music, you may be grateful for your CD connections.”所列举绘画和音乐的例子可知要写一些你自己感兴趣的事情。F项“These things vary greatly depending on your interests.”符合上下文语境，故选F项。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据本段第三句“Avoid the trap of being grateful for something that is better than what other people have. ”可知我们要避免感激拥有比别人更好的事物，而是要感激自己所拥有的事物。‎ 所以在写日记的时候可以描述此类情感。B项“Describe how you are grateful for what you have have.”符合上下文语境，故选B项。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 横线前一句“You may start with basic abilities like your abilities to see and hear.”告诉我们要从一些基本的事情写起，然后再推进到那些你独有的事情。D项“Then progress to those that are unique to you”符合上下文语境，故选D项。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据横线前三句可知我们不仅要写下自己喜欢的人或事，而且还要写自己不喜欢的人或事情，并找到他们的亮点，这样做虽然很难但却能提高你的道德水平。C项“This can be difficult but very uplifting.”符合上下文语境，故选C项。‎ 第二部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ At the age of nine, I was taking swimming lessons at a pool.

A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal abuse by other children can do___44___to the development in the brain. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults___45___ (age) 18 to 25. These young men and women had no experience with domestic (家庭的) violence or physical abuse by their parents. The researchers asked the young people ____46____(comment) on their childhood’s exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects. The images showed that the individuals___47___were reported suffering verbal abuse______48______their peers in middle schools had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain.

I attended to its Homecoming Day. Early in the morning, followed some other former schoolmates of different age, I arrived at the school gate. We first went around the school and then visit the school museum to admire all the pleasant changes in recent years. Afterwards, several students had a tea party with some teachers or other students, talking about our old days and school life today. Unknowingly, several hours passed. Before leaving, all of us were inviting to leave a message on a wall. I wrote serious that I was very grateful to my school for her giving me a happy and brilliant childhood. What great Saturday!‎ ‎【答案】1.fifty – fiftieth ‎ ‎2. attended to 去to ‎ ‎3. followed -- following ‎4. age – ages ‎ ‎5. visit – visited ‎ ‎6. or --- and ‎ ‎7. our -- their ‎ ‎8. inviting – invited ‎ ‎9. serious – seriously ‎ ‎10. great Saturday 前加a ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，作者在星期六参加了初中的第五十年校庆，和校友们一起游览了校园参观了图书馆，还一起参加了茶话会。‎ ‎【详解】第一处：考查叙述词。句意：具体是以前初中的第五十年校庆。基数词fifty表示数量，序数词fiftieth表示顺序，本句指学校的五十年校庆，表示顺序。所以把fifty改为fiftieth。‎ 第二处：考查动词。动词attend参加，这是一个及物动词，后面要直接加宾语；而attend to意为“注意，专心，照顾”。句意：我参加了学校的返校日活动。所以要删除attend后面的to。‎ 第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：清晨，跟随着一些不同年龄的校友，我到了学校的大门。本句中动词follow与主语I构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词following在句中做状语，过去分词followed通常表示被动。所以把followed改为following。‎ 第四处：考查名词单复数。名词age意为“年龄”，它是可数名词，前面有形容词different修饰，应该使用复数形式。句意：清晨，跟随着一些不同年龄的校友，我到了学校的大门。所以要把age改为ages。‎ 第五处：考查时态。句意：我们首先参观了校园接着参观了学校博物馆。句中went around the school和visited the school museum是并列谓语，都应该使用一般过去时。所以要把visit改为visited。‎ 第六处：考查连词。句意：后来几个学生和一些老师和其他学生举行了茶话会，谈论了他们的旧日时光和今日生活。因为some teachers和other students是并列关系，应该使用连词and 连接。所以要把or改为and。‎ 第七处：考查代词。本句主语是several students，应该使用their指代several students。句意：后来几个学生和一些老师和其他学生举行了茶话会，谈论了他们的旧日时光和今日生活。所以要把our改为their。‎ 第八处：考查语态。句意：在离开之前，我们所有人都被邀请在一面墙上留言。本句主语all of us与动词invite构成被动关系，应该使用被动语态。所以要把inviting改为invited。‎ 第九处：考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词副词动词或者整个句子，形容词通常做定语修饰名词。本句中使用副词seriously做状语修饰动词wrote，所以要把serious改为seriously。‎ 第十处：考查冠词。通常在表示星期几的名词前面不需要冠词，在有形容词修饰的情况下，可以加不定冠词a/an表示泛指。句意：真是一个开心的周六啊！所以要在great前加a。‎ 第二节 书面表达(满分25分)‎ ‎52.假如你是李华，你校学生会组织了一次为贫困儿童献爱心活动，包括捐书籍衣物或请吃饭、参观等。你给你的美国笔友写邮件介绍此次活动，主要包括活动内容及你的感受。适当发挥想象，结构合理。字数100-120左右。‎ Dear Peter,‎ The Student Union launched a campaign aimed at helping children in need ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua ‎【答案】Dear Peter,‎ The Student Union launched a campaign aimed at helping children in need in my school last weekend.And all the students took an active part in this activity.‎ Some donated their pocket money, some contributed clothes or books.
