Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that. I grew up as Daddy’s Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through - 18 - everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult. He always expected that I did my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards. He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I’d taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their selfworth. Having fathers that didn’t believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves. As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect. As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry. Dad was a living picture of godliness(虔诚), honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughters’ lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,叙述了父亲在作者成长过程中对作者的影响。 21.From the second paragraph, the author thinks it is the most valuable that ________. A.her father was very strict with her B.her father helped her a lot in every way C.nothing was difficult if her father was on her side D.father’s trust deeply influenced her selfconfidence D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Having fathers that didn’t believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.”可知,如果我们的父亲不信任我们,就会导致我们不信任我们自己,也就是说父亲对“我”的信任让“我”对自己很有信心。 22.What does the underlined word “lavished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Loved. B.Respected. C.Treated. D.Spoiled. C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect.”可知,父亲给“我”树立了一个如何对待女性的榜样,第二句就以他对待妈妈的例子来证明,故画线词“lavish”与动词“treat”语义相近,故选C项。 23.The feeling the author wants to express to her father in this text is ________. A.grateful B.sad - 18 - C.proud D.pitiful A 解析:推理判断题。本文是一篇记叙文,主要表达了作者对父亲的感激之情。 B Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other. Can you see the rabbits’ tail? When rabbits see the white tail moving up and down, they will run. The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound. It has given them a signal. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its “hood” and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(发出呼噜声) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes. But we have something that no animals have—a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了几种动物所用的独特的交流方式。 24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Animals do have a language like that of human beings. B.Bees communicate with each other by dancing. C.Some animals can use words. D.A dog barks to show its friendliness. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.”可知,蜜蜂是通过跳舞来交流信息的,故选B。 25.A rabbit uses its tail to ________. A.warn other rabbits of danger - 18 - B.tell other rabbits where the food is C.make itself look fierce D.help itself to run fast A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound.”可知兔子通过晃动尾巴来提醒其他兔子潜在的危险,故选A。 26.What is this passage mainly about? A.Human’s language is more wonderful than animals’ language. B.People should pay attention to animals’ body language and sounds. C.Animals have their own ways to communicate with each other. D.Animals are smarter than we think. C 解析:主旨大意题。说明文的第一段通常会点出说明的对象。根据第一段最后一句“But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.”可知,各种动物都有自己的交流方式,故选C。 C Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day? If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock(闹钟) each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you’re probably a “night owl”. Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions. Usually, early risers have been praised as hardworking while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most__people__believe__the__early__bird__catches__the__worm. Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers. Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a lastminute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time. Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect - 18 - on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role. It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了“early bird”和“night owl”哪一个更好。 27.The author introduces the subject by ________. A.telling an interesting story B.giving different opinions C.showing research results D.asking a question D 解析:写作手法题。根据第二段“Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.”可知,作者以提问题的方式引出要讨论的话题,故选D项。 28.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean? A.Those who get up early achieve their goals. B.Early to bed, early to rise is good for health. C.“Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”. D.“Early birds” are as hardworking as “night owls”. A 解析:句意理解题。根据第三段中的“Usually, early risers have been praised as hardworking while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy.”可知早起的人常常被认为很努力,而晚起的人通常被认为懒惰。人们会认为早起的人足够勤奋能够实现他们的目标,故选A项。 29.What did the researchers find in a Belgian study? A.Late risers become sleepier than early risers. B.Early risers become as focused as later risers. C.Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours. D.Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours. C 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“After 10 hours of being awake, the ‘evening people’ became more alert(思维敏捷的).”可知苏醒10小时以后,“夜猫子”思维更敏捷,故选C项。 30.What opinion does the author finally agree to? A.People should get up early. B.Whatever time suits you, it’s OK. - 18 - C.Staying up late is good for health. D.It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit. B 解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.”可知,无论是早起还是晚睡,只要你自己开心,这就是最符合自己的生物钟。也就是说作者认为人们遵循最适合自己的时间就好,故选B项。 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。 Everyone needs friends. As the old saying goes, “No man is an island.” In other words, no one can survive without the help and friendship of others. 31.________ Society is made up of people, and making friends is a very important part in our life. 32.________ Firstly, if you have trouble with some problems, you can talk to your good friends and exchange opinions.

He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie(自拍).” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries. Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone selfportraits and the resulting shares on social media. In recent years, the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject centerstage, has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ to US with former President Barack Obama joining in. But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful, dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risktaking behavior, such as hanging from a tall building, standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street. People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies, completely ignoring where they are. In fact, there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies. Several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety, warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies. “Walt Disney World is also banning selfiesticks from its theme parks because selfiesticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests,” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. Under the new policy, guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version: The word “selfie” was first used by an Australian man in 2002.(要点1) Today, more and more people are crazy about taking selfies, including some famous people.(要点2) But the popularity of selfies has caused some safety problems, as a - 18 - result of which, some governments show great concern about visitors’ safety.(要点3) Walt Disney World also doesn’t allow visitors to use selfiesticks in its theme parks.(要点4) - 18 -查看更多
