An American in Paris.‎ B. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.‎ C. It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.‎ D. Santa and Ice Skating in St. Petersburg.‎ ‎【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一则广告，属于应用文。详细介绍了周末在Tampa Bay进行的五项活动的具体信息，以吸引更多的游客前来参观。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句After visiting Santa, go skating on a simulated (模拟的) ice place.可知Santa and Ice Skating in St. Petersburg有滑冰活动，游客可以联系这一活动的联系电话(727) 893-7441。故A项正确。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句The Tony Award-winning musical is about an American soldier, a secret French girl and a European city in the consequence of war.可知周末有音乐活动，如果你想享受音乐，可以到这一活动举行的场所Carol Morsani Hall，故B项正确。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段An ensemble (重唱) brings a few dozen characters to life with live, on-stage sound effects, to present the story of George Bailey, who considers taking his own life可知George Bailey想要自杀。这是一个令人悲伤的故事，故C项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】本文属于信息筛选题。信息寻找题一般在应用文体中较常见，体现于查字典、阅读广告、公告、演出海报、车船航班时间表等之中。这类阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在高考试题中，常常是就某一方面提问，考生完全没有必要从头到尾仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用“题干定全法”。即：先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，有针对性地阅读相关部分快速寻找有效信息。‎ 广告是阅读理解题常考的一种题材。广告属应用文体。严格来说广告属快速寻找信息题。但是广告有着其他快速寻找信息题不同的特点。广告文体简洁明快，省略了大量的词语，达到了篇幅小、信息多的目的。同时具有语言精练，形象性、鼓动性强的良好效果。广告阅读题多为细节理解题，关键在于正确理解广告内容。考生必须具备较强的语言运用能力，熟悉文化背景，利用各种手段（如：补全、联想、推测等）正确解读广告的内容。通常运用“补全成分法”和“联想推测法”两种方法来解读广告的内容。做题方法同样采用“题干定向法”。‎ ‎（1）补全成分法 省略名在广告体阅读材料中大量出现，可以说广告阅读理解材料中大多数句子都是省略句。我们应结合全文语境及逻辑关系将省略句补全，从而更加准确地理解。如：Driver wanted. 根据文义，可将该句补充为：A driver will be wanted. (招聘一名司机)。‎ ‎（2）联想推测法 在些广告时间、日期、地点、电话、票价等用了缩略词，甚至一概没有提及，这就需要考生前后连贯，充分想象，整体理解。搜寻已知信息，推断语篇意义。‎ B Jaden Hayes first lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep.‎ ‎“I tried and I tried to get her awake—I couldn’t,” said Jaden.‎ Jaden is understandably heartbroken. But there’s another side to his sadness. When he first made public a few weeks ago he told his aunt, and now guardian, Barbara DiCola, that he was sick of seeing everyone was sad all the time. And he had a plan to fix it. He asked his aunt Barbara to buy a lot of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah, so he could give them away.‎ ‎“I’m trying to make people smile,” said Jaden. He gave his toys to people who weren’t smiling and then turned their day around. He has gone out on four different occasions now and he is always successful, though sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the reaction he was hoping for.‎ It’s just so unexpected to some people that a six-year-old child would give away a toy— expecting nothing in return—except a smile. Of course he is paid beautifully in hugs and his aunt says the reactions have done wonders for Jaden, who will then feel joyful.‎ ‎“But I’m still sad that my mom died,” Jaden said.‎ This is of course not only a fix, but the smiles he has made so far—nearly 500 at last count—Jaden has clearly found a purpose.‎ ‎“I’m counting on it to be 33, 000,” said Jaden.‎ When asked if he thought he could make that goal, he answered, “I think I can.”‎ ‎24. What can be known about Jaden’s present life?‎ A. He lives alone. B. He lives poorly.‎ C. He lives with his aunt. D. He lives independently.‎ ‎25. How did Jaden feel about seeing people’s sadness?‎ A. Bored B. Puzzled C. Pleased D. Excited ‎26. What makes Jaden forget his sadness?‎ A. Doing toy business. B. Traveling around.‎ C. Smiling to people. D. Bringing joy to others.‎ ‎27. Which of the following words can best describe Jaden?‎ A. Honest and easy-going. B. Kind and confident.‎ C. Modest and hard-working. D. Smart and humorous.‎ ‎【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，Jaden Hayes父母双亡，他随着阿姨Barbara DiCola 一起生活，虽然他很难受，但他赠送玩具让那些不幸福的人，希望能够让别人开心，这也能够让他忘记自己的悲伤。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句When he first made public a few weeks ago he told his aunt, and now guardian, Barbara DiCola, that he was sick of seeing everyone was sad all the time.可知他的父母去世以后，阿姨Barbara DiCola成为了他的监护人，也就是说他现在和Barbara DiCola生活在一起。故C项正确。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“I’m trying to make people smile,” said Jaden. He gave his toys to people who weren’t smiling and then turned their day around.可知Jaden希望通过赠送玩具让那些不幸福的人能够开心，可知他不想看见别人不幸福。故A项正确。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句Of course he is paid beautifully in hugs and his aunt says the reactions have done wonders for Jaden, who will then feel joyful.可知Jaden把玩具赠送给别人以后，别人的拥抱和微笑让他感觉很开心。可知赠送玩具给别人让他忘记悲伤。故D项正确。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知Jaden赠送玩具给不开心的人，希望给别人带来快乐，这说明他很善良。而根据最后一段When asked if he thought he could make that goal, he answered, “I think I can.”可知当别人问他是否可以实现目标的时候，他认为自己完全可以实现目标。这说明他很自信。故B项正确。‎ C It’s common for children to grow up being told to minimize daydreaming, and instead to focus on lessons and class work. Historically, daydreaming students who go off on their own thoughts, rather than focusing on the teachers, the blackboard, or their class work, are often encouraged to stop allowing their attention to wander and to bring themselves back into the present moment. They’re described as uninterested in school work and their future. Traditionally, daydreaming is seen as a practice that results in bad consequences.‎ But recent studies are beginning to renounce those common beliefs by pointing out the potential benefits that daydreaming may provide. PsychCentral reports that Mary Smith, a psychological scientist and researcher, recently examined scientific writings and studies to gain a ‎ better understanding of the role of a reflective brain. These studies have shown that the brain has a network that is active when a person is daydreaming and that brain network can help memory and learning.‎ Though paying attention in school is important, these results suggest that there should be time for students to daydream, too. Giving them the chance to reflect and daydream can help improve learning and development. Research also indicates that when students are permitted to daydream, they experience less anxiety and become more motivated. On the other hand, if students are warned against daydreaming, their knowledge of themselves and the world around them may suffer.‎ As a result, educators are encouraged to promote a balance between outward and inward attention. A little bit of daydreaming to break up the hard focus on school activities can be beneficial, and it may help students become better, active learners.‎ As for students, the lesson here is not to be afraid of doing some daydreaming. Sure, you want to pay attention to the vital information conveyed to you during your classes, but don’t get discouraged if your mind wanders. A little bit of daydreaming is healthy.‎ ‎28. What do people usually think of daydreaming students?‎ A. They live in the future instead of in the moment.‎ B. They pay too much attention to their own thoughts.‎ C. They care about neither their studies nor their future.‎ D. They go off on their own thoughts to avoid bad results.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “renounce” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?‎ A. Disapprove. B. Encourage. C. Promote. D. Inspire.‎ ‎30. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. The more we daydream, the better.‎ B. Students should stay fully focused in class.‎ C. Daydreaming reduces students’ motivation.‎ D. We shouldn’t always say no to mind-wandering.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Causes of Daydreaming B. Benefits of Daydreaming C. Ways to Reduce Daydreaming D. Attitudes towards Daydreaming ‎【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句They’re described as uninterested in school work and their future.可知这些做白日梦的学生以前被描述为对学习和未来不感兴趣的学生。故C项正确。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 猜测词义题。根据第一段可知这些做白日梦的学生以前被描述为对学习和未来不感兴趣的学生。本句中表示转折关系的连词but说明现在的观点和以前不一样了，认为白日梦可以给学生带来好处。故“renounce”意为“Disapprove”。故A项正确。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句Giving them the chance to reflect and daydream can help improve learning and development.可知白日梦可以改善学生的学习情况并让学生得到发展。也就是说我们不能总是拒绝白日梦。故D项正确。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据以前的观点，白日梦对学生的学习有不好的影响，最新的研究显示白日梦可以促进学生的记忆并改善学习。文章中对白日梦的好处进行了详细说明。故B项能够说明文章的中心思想。‎ D Swiss researchers said Monday they have developed a wireless camera system to monitor vital signs in premature babies, a move that could replace uncomfortable and highly inaccurate skin sensors (传感器) which produce false alarms in up to 90 percent of cases, mainly set off by the baby’s movement.‎ ‎“This is a cause of discomfort for the babies, because we have to check on them every time,” said Jean-Claude Fauchere, a doctor at University Hospital Zurich’s newborn clinic.‎ His hospital is preparing to begin tests of a new, contactless system created by researchers at the EPFL polytechnical university in Lausanne and at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology.‎ The system designed in Switzerland should allow premature babies kept warm in incubators (恒温箱) to be medically monitored using highly sensitive cameras that detect the newborn’s pulse ‎ by analyzing its skin color, which changes so slightly every time its heart beats.‎ ‎“Breathing is monitored by measuring movements of its chest and shoulders. At night, infrared (红外线的) cameras take over, and monitoring can be carried out non-stop,” the statement said.‎ The visual system was designed by CSEM researchers, who chose cameras sensitive enough to detect minute changes in skin color, while the EPFL researchers designed algorithms (运算程序) to process the data in real time.‎ ‎“We ran an early study on adults, where we looked at a specific part of skin on their foreheads,” EPFL doctoral student Sibylle Fallet said. “With our algorithms we can track this area when the person moves, and use tiny changes in their color to determine the pulse,” she said. “The tests showed that the cameras produced practically the same results as conventional sensors.”‎ Once the system has been widely tested on premature babies, it could one day replace skin sensors altogether, the schools said.‎ ‎32. What is the advantage of the wireless camera system?‎ A. It is light and painless. B. It is mobile and effective.‎ C. It is cheap and convenient. D. It is comfortable and accurate.‎ ‎33. What is the key for the wireless camera to monitor a premature baby?‎ A. Its non-stop measurement.‎ B. Good condition of incubators.‎ C. Its sensitivity to sense skin color change.‎ D. The algorithms to process the data in time.‎ ‎34. It be inferred from what Sibylle Fallet said that .‎ A. their early study on adults was successful B. the system has been used on premature babies C. the visual system can sense the people’s pulse D. the wireless cameras will replace conventional sensors ‎35. What’s the schools’ attitude towards the visual system?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.‎ ‎【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型用来监测早产儿的无线相机监测系统，这种新系统比传统的传感器更加准确和舒适。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段a move that could replace uncomfortable and highly inaccurate skin sensors (传感器) which produce false alarms in up to 90 percent of cases, mainly set off by the baby’s movement.可知这种新型无线相机系统可以取代以前的令人不舒服也不准确的传感器，也就是说这种新的系统令人舒服也很准确。故D项正确。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段using highly sensitive cameras that detect the newborn’s pulse by analyzing its skin color, which changes so slightly every time its heart beats.可知这种新型系统可以使用高度敏感的相机，这种相机可以监测早产儿的皮肤颜色变化。这一特点是这个系统的关键所在。故C项正确。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The tests showed that the cameras produced practically the same results as conventional sensors.”可知早期研究结果说明新系统测量的数据和传统的感应器效果是一样的。说明这项早期研究是很成功的。故A项正确。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段可知对这种系统的早期研究很成功，而且这种系统比传统系统更加准确更加舒适，未来可能取代现在的的感应器。可知作者对这一系统的态度是乐观的。故B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，从短文后的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。‎ Nowadays, travelling has been a trend.
