For the third night in a row, the adult bear had returned. Was she here because she was just looking for an easy meal? Or was she here because of the baby bear locked in the pen? If that was the reason, what did she want with the cub? Dan thought about the cub. He knew there was a lot the cub could learn from an adult bear. He did not want to disturb or interfere with the bears getting to know each other. But the cub had been brought in injured. As the cub’s guardian, Dan had a responsibility to make sure that the cub was safe. Perhaps he had been hurt by this very bear. On the other hand, what if the adult were friendly? She could teach the cub things he had to learn if he were to live in the wilderness. Dan decided it was worth taking a chance. He would let the adult bear near the cub. But he would be ready for trouble, if this turned out to be a mistake. That night, Dan waited in the shadows near the pen. In his hand was a big flashlight. If the adult bear tried to hurt the cub, he would try to scare her off with the light. If that did not work, he had a loud horn with him. He thought that the sudden noise from the horn would drive her away. Dan did not have to wait very long. Soon there was a rustling in the woods. Then the adult proclaimed her presence with a low growl and emerged from behind a tree. She was quick in movement and healthy. Dan hoped she would scare easily. As soon as the cub heard her a frightening low noise, he became active and started toward the fence in an awkward run. When the two bears met at the fence, the adult stood and put her front paws against it. The cub tried to do the same, but tottered and fell forward. The adult bear snorted. Dan was not sure what the snort meant. Then the cub stuck his nose through the fence in a friendly greeting. How would the adult respond? Dan’s heart raced. He raised the flashlight and the horn, ready to act. The adult leaned forward and gently rubbed her nose against the cub. Dan lowered the flashlight. Everything was going to be fine. 4. The author writes this passage chiefly for the purpose of_______. A. showing people how to behave at the zoo B. informing the reader about extinct animals C. persuading the reader to give money to zoos D. entertaining the reader with a story about bears 5.

Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “tottered” in paragraph 5? A. Walked proudly with its head high. B. Moved in a way that was not steady. C. Walked with heavy steps in an angry way. D. Moved lightly as if it was dancing. 7. Why did Dan lower the flashlight at the end of the story? A. He saw the adult bear was not going to hurt the cub. B. He wanted to scare away the adult bear. C. He was concerned about what might happen. D. He wondered if the two bears would get along well. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了得到救助的受伤小熊在围栏期间，一连三个晚上一只母熊想 要接近小熊，作者记述了这一过程及自己最初担心小熊受到大熊伤害，为保护小熊所做的准 备。 【4 题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了 Dan 救助受伤小熊并避免熊妈妈伤害的故事， 通过这个关于熊的故事让读者得到娱乐。故选 D。 【5 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Was she here because she was just looking for an easy meal? Or was she here because of the baby bear locked in the pen? If that was the reason, what did she want with the cub?”可知，她来这里只是为了找一顿简单的饭菜吗？还是因为被关在围栏里的熊 宝宝？如果这就是原因，她要幼崽干什么？作者连着用了三个问题，显然是要引起读者对下 文的兴趣。故选 C。 【6 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“the cub...started toward the fence in an awkward run(幼崽…… 开始笨拙地朝栅栏跑去)”及“the adult stood and put her front paws against it. The cub tried to do the same, but. ..fell forward.(成年熊站起来，用前爪贴着它。熊宝宝也想做同样的事，但 是……栽倒了)”可知，小熊摇摇晃晃在走。由此推知，划线词 tottered 意为“以一种不稳定 的方式移动”。故选 B。 【7 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The adult leaned forward and gently rubbed her nose against the cub. Dan lowered the flashlight.”可知，成年熊身子前倾，轻轻地用鼻子摩擦幼崽。丹放下手 电筒。由此可知，Dan 降低手电是因为他看到大熊不会伤害幼熊。故选 A。 C More than 450 kinds of plants eat insects. These plants use their special leaves as traps. When insects land on the leaves, they are eaten. One of these insect-eating plants is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).It grows only in North Carolina and South Carolina. The Venus flytrap has special juices on its leaves. Insects land on its leaves to taste the juices. When the insects land, their bodies touch tiny “trigger hairs“ on the leaves. The insects struggle, making a vain effort to free themselves. Then the leaves close up suddenly, taking the insects prisoner. The sundew(茅膏菜)is another insect-eating plant. It has red vines that look and move like arms and can close around things. These vines are covered with sticky drops. When an insect lands on one of these drops, it gets stuck in it. Then the sundew's “arms” hold the insect close. The leaves of a butterwort(捕虫堇属植物)plant also are covered in a sticky substance. An insect attracted to the sticky material gets stuck on the leaf. Then the leaf of the butterwort rolls up, trapping the insect inside. The pitcher plant(瓶子草类)is another insect eater. However, this plant gets its prey in a different way. It cannot move its leaves the way the other insect-eating plants do. The leaves of the pitcher plant, covered with tiny spikes(钉状物),make a sweet-smelling juice, which insects approach the leaves to taste. When they touch the leaves, they get caught by the spikes. The insects cannot escape, and they drown in a pool of juice before becoming a meal for the pitcher plant. Insect-eating plants are an important part of nature. They do not need to get their food from the soil as other plants do. Because of this, they can grow in poor soil. Some of them even live on trees or underwater. In many cases, they survive after a disaster when other plants do not. They can live through floods and freezing weather and often are the first plants to grow again after a fire. Insect eating plants are among nature's most interesting forms of plant life. 8. How does the pitcher plant trap insects? A. By closing around their legs. B. By holding them with spikes. C. By keeping them from eating. D. By hurting them with vines. 9. What happens when an insect lands on the leaf of the butterwort plant? A. It drowns in a pool of juice. B. It gets caught by tiny spikes. C. It gets stuck in a sticky material. D. It gets caught in leaves that close up. 10. The author of this passage would most likely agree that . A. insect-eating plants are interesting to observe B. insect-eating plants are the most dangerous form of life C. after a disaster, an effort should be made to grow more insect-eating plants D. a butterwort plant kills insects more efficiently than other insect-eating plants 11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. How insect-eating plants get their food B. How insect-eating plants grow in poor soil C. Why insect-eating plants survive other plants D. Why insect-eating plants can live through a disaster 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种食昆虫植物及其捕食方式，我们可以从中感受神奇的大 自然带给我们的惊愕。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“The leaves of the pitcher plant, covered with tiny spikes(钉状 物),make a sweet-smelling juice, which insects approach the leaves to taste. When they touch the leaves, they get caught by the spikes. The insects cannot escape, and they drown in a pool of juice……”(猪笼草的叶子,覆盖着微小的钉状物,会产生一种甜蜜的能吸引昆虫靠近去吃的 汁液。当昆虫碰到叶子的时候，就会被钉状物卡住。昆虫无法逃脱，会淹死在汁液中。)可 知猪笼草是靠钉状物抓昆虫的，故选 B。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The leaves of a butterwort(捕虫堇属植物)plant also are covered in a sticky substance. An insect attracted to the sticky material gets stuck on the leaf. Then the leaf of the butterwort rolls up, trapping the insect inside.”(捕虫堇属植物的叶子被一种粘性物质覆 盖。被粘性物质吸引的昆虫会粘在叶子上。然后捕虫堇属植物的叶子就会卷起，把昆虫困在 里面。)可知昆虫落在捕虫堇属植物叶子上后会被上面的粘性物质粘住，故选 C。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。文章前几段介绍了几种食昆虫植物，根据文章最后一段“Insect eating plants are among nature's most interesting forms of plant life.”(吃昆虫的植物是自然界中最有趣的植物 形式之一。)可知作者认为观察以昆虫为食的植物是有趣的，故选 A。 【11 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“More than 450 kinds of plants eat insects. These plants use their special leaves as traps. When insects land on the leaves, they are eaten.”（450 多种植物以昆虫 为食。这些植物用它们特殊的叶子作为陷阱。当昆虫落在树叶上时，它们就被吃掉了。）结 合全文内容。可知文章第一段引出食昆虫植物，介绍了它们的共同特点。2-5 段介绍了几种 典型食昆虫植物的捕食方法，最后一段介绍了食昆虫植物存在和研究的重要性。A 项 How insect-eating plants get their food 概括了文章主要内容，适合作为标题。故选 A。 D The term “telecommuting” refers to a workforce arrangement in which there is no central office where employees gather and work. Instead, these employees work wherever they can access the people and materials needed to complete their projects and daily tasks. One of the most common locations for telecommuters to work is their own homes. However, with today's advanced technological equipment, employees can work anywhere. Laptop computers and tablets allow for facile mobility, as do wireless Internet “hot spots” and even smartphones with highspeed Internet connectivity. More employers should consider the advantages of a telecommuting arrangement. It allows employers to hire people who otherwise would not be available. This includes parents with small children, the physically disabled, and people living far from urban centers. Plus, it allows for a more globalized business, since the company can employ people in all parts of the world, regardless of location or time zone. According to a recent poll, approximately one in five workers telecommutes frequently, and nearly 10 percent never set foot in a traditional office. Still, some barriers do exist to more employers, adopting a telecommuting work model. Liability insurance and worker's compensation in case of accidents can become serious issues, and all other applicable laws and regulations must be fully investigated. In addition, the long-established way to manage employees has been to observe workers firsthand. Therefore, many companies do not allow full-time telecommuting for fear of a drop in productivity levels. However, most studies find that frequent face-to-face interactions through video-conferencing, as well as allowing for periods of adjustment to the new work system, are often all that is needed to overcome any obstacles. The advantages of telecommuting-even two or three days a week—far outweigh any possible disadvantages, and most of the employer concerns about telecommuting are unfounded. They are simply based on ignorance of new hi-tech breakthroughs or on fear of change to the traditional workforce environment. Clearly, employers today should not overlook the option of telecommuting. 12. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude toward telecommuting? A. Afraid. B. Enthusiastic. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 13. What is the main point of the second paragraph? A. Virtual offices are not limited to the home. B. Telecommuting reduces rent and electricity costs. C. Telecommuting has numerous benefits. D. Living far from urban centers is no longer a problem. 14. Why did the author write the passage? A. To describe the technical terms used by telecommuters. B. To criticize the greed of companies that do not allow telecommuting. C. To explain the reasons why some companies do not permit telecommuting. D. To praise the advantages of telecommuting. 15. Which of the following states the author's opinion? A. Companies considering telecommuting should check on legal issues and union rules. B. There are no serious barriers in organizations, attempting to adopt telecommuting. C. To make telecommuting common, all companies must adopt video-conferencing. D. Telecommuting should not be allowed for fewer than three days a week. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文。作者论证了远程办公的好处，明确阐述了自己的观点，建议雇主们采用 远程办公。 【12 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, with today's advanced technological equipment, employees can work anywhere.”(然而，随着当今先进的技术设备，员工可以在任何地方工作。)第二 段“More employers should consider the advantages of a telecommuting arrangement.”(更多的 雇主应该考虑远程办公的好处。)最后一段“Clearly, employers today should not overlook the option of telecommuting.”(显然，今天的雇主不应该忽视远程办公的选择。)可推断作者对 远程办公是热情，支持的态度。故选 B。 【13 题详解】 主 旨 大 意 题 。 第 二 段 第 一 句 “More employers should consider the advantages of a telecommuting arrangement.”(更多的雇主应该考虑远程办公的好处。)是本段的主题句，下 文“It allows employers to hire people who otherwise would not be available.”(它能让雇主雇 佣那些本来找不到的人。)和“Plus, it allows for a more globalized business, since the company can employ people in all parts of the world, regardless of location or time zone.”(此外，它允许 一个更加全球化的业务，因为公司可以雇用世界各地的人，无论地点或时区。)具体列举了 远程办公的好处，所以第二段是在介绍远程办公有许多好处，故选 C。 【14 题详解】 推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 第 二 段 中 “More employers should consider the advantages of a telecommuting arrangement.”(更多的雇主应该考虑远程办公的好处。) 和最后一段“Clearly, employers today should not overlook the option of telecommuting.”(显然，今天的雇主不应该 忽视远程办公的选择。)可知作者写本文是为了称赞远程办公的好处，故选 D。 【15 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Liability insurance and worker's compensation in case of accidents can become serious issues, and all other applicable laws and regulations must be fully investigated.”(责任保险和工伤事故赔偿可能成为严重问题，所有其他适用的法律法规都必 须进行充分调查。)可知作者认为考虑远程办公的公司应该检查法律问题和工会规则。故选 A。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。 If you are thinking about asking for a raise in salary, there are several things to keep in mind. First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary. ___16___ Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked on, things you have done to improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. ___17___ Bear in mind that salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience. ___18___ Your initial request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want. ___19___ If you have recently been given new responsibilities, it makes sense to ask for a higher level of compensation. On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position. Finally, never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your child's college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. ___20___ That is where you need to keep the conversation. A. This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for. B. Skills play a key role in your salary level. C. A crucial point is the timing of your request. D. Everyone is eager for a raise in salary. E. You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss. F. Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone. G. Then you will be better prepared when you meet with your boss. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. F 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。作者用了有说服力的语言，介绍了员工向雇主提出增加薪金前应考虑的事 情。 【16 题详解】 根据前文“First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary.”首先，你要考虑你是否值得更 高的薪水，E 项说你可能值得，但是你要向你的老板解释为什么。本句起承上启下的作用， You probably do 中的 do，指前句 deserve a higher salary，用 do 避免重复。本句 explain...why 和后面部分的内容紧密相连。故选 E 项， 【17 题详解】 前文说“Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job” 还要包 括你最近利用的职业发展机会，并准备好解释它们是如何提高你在工作中的表现的。G 项说 当你见老板的时候，你就会准备地更好了。本句是段落的结尾句，说明了做到前述几项，就 会有本句所说情况的出现。 故选 G 项。 【18 题详解】 上文说“You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience.” 你应该调查一下行业对相似职位、相似经验水平的人的工 资标准。上文提到了工资标准。A 项说这将帮助你确定多少钱是合理的要求。本句承上，前 后意思关联紧密。选项的 amount of money 照应上文的 salaries，故选 A 项。 【19 题详解】 根据后文的“if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response.” 如果公司正经历财政困难，要求更多的 钱可能不会得到一个有利的回应。本段后面内容从正反两方面，说明提出要求增加薪金时， 要选择恰当的时机。C 项说关键的一点是你请求的时间，提到了时间，照应下文。故选 C 项。 【20 题详解】 上文说“never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary.” 不要给出要求加薪的个人 原因。F 项说我们的工资水平应该仅仅基于职业方面的考虑。本句从正面用来支持本段的主 题句，它也同后面一句有承接关系。故选 F 项。 第三部分语言知识（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 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。 I was excited when Mr. Dudley at the newspaper office said I could have Nina's paper route.

But how does this help our trouble? Obviously, it doesn't. This evening I met a friend at a local bar. She brought her brand-new laptop along so she could show me some of her latest digital art designs. As we chatted and scanned through her artwork, the laptop suddenly started making an unhealthy buzzing noise, then the screen flashed on and off and then cut off completely. And as we both stared at one another in confusion, the smell of fried computer circuits consumed our noses. The barkeeper and even some customers came up afterwards and asked what was wrong with the computer. I grabbed the laptop to inspect it and the problem instantly revealed itself. The bottom of the laptop was wet and an empty, spilt water glass rested against the side of her purse just behind where the laptop was sitting. In the midst of us chatting and shifting the laptop's 17 inch screen back and forth, we somehow spilt a glass of water that the barkeeper had placed behind the screen by mistake, which was out of our view. This situation, running normal logic, the next thing would soon get into a heated argument over damage. When I glanced at my friend with a little bit of worry, _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ The smartest, and oftentimes hardest, thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more sensible in our reactions. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 : When I glanced at my friend with a little bit of worry, not sure what I was supposed to say to ease her mood. She raised her bent body , took a piece of tissue paper from the box, and while gazing sadly at the computer，still said very calmly—It was my fault. But just at that moment, the most unexpected thing happened. The bar keeper stepped out and said，“Please leave it with me and I'll fix it for you. ” Paragraph 2: The smartest, and often times hardest, thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more sensible in our reactions. To remember that losing temper only makes matters worse. Troubles are rarely as bad as they seem, and even when they are, they give us an opportunity to grow stronger. And once they pass, all we're left with are our unique experiences with each other and the lessons we've learned along the way. Life is unpredictable, but the choice is ours to make. 【解析】 【分析】 本文以朋友的笔记本电脑为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友在酒吧的遭遇。因老板不小心在电 脑屏幕后放了杯水，结果在朋友移动电脑的时候，水洒了，电脑线路被烧坏了，正在朋友担 心会有一场有关损害激烈争论的时候，朋友和老板却冷静妥善地处理了问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我有点担心地瞥了一眼我的朋友,”可知，第一段可描写朋友处理 问题的方式和经过及结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“在这种情况下，我们能做的最聪明，也是最艰难的事情就是在我们的 反应中更理智。”可知，第二段可描写作者对此事的感悟和评论。 2.续写线索：观看电脑——冷静——承认自己的过错——互相谅解——感悟——评论 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①观看电脑： stare at/watch/ gaze at ②.承认错误：It was my fault /My fault/I was so careless ③.互相谅解：forgive each other/understand one another 情绪类 ①.冷静：say very calmly / say peacefully/keep calm ②.明智：wise/smart/ sensible/clever 【点睛】 [高分句型 1].
