She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants," Girls rule, boys drool." But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.‎ This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy" is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids ' triathlon (三项全能).‎ On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.‎ And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.‎ I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.‎ All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be. Wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.‎ Shine on, sweet baby.‎ ‎4. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?‎ A.

B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人，和陌生人在一起她会很紧张、害羞。后来，她勇敢地参加了铁人三项，并赢得了奖牌。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第三段We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race.（我们和她一起练习从游泳到骑车再到跑步的过渡，我们买了她需要的所有设备，我们一直在谈论比赛。）由此可知作者全家都是在给Kelly支持的，故选B。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第五段I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.（我可以诚实地说，在我的一生中，我从未为某个人感到如此自豪。）由此可知看到Kelly在比赛中的表现，作者感到兴奋和自豪，故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。上文It was because she was afraid of something说那是因为她害怕一些东西，由此推断出下文意思是她用我从未见过的自信和激情战胜了恐惧。“conquered"的意思是“成功地处理或控制某事”，故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第五段It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before. 那是因为她害怕一些东西，并且用我从未见过的自信和激情战胜了恐惧。及第六段Wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day.可知她已经克服了她的恐惧了，故选B。‎ C Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a ‎ conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.‎ Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.‎ Memory “tricks" work the other way as well. Once in a while, you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.‎ We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people s forgetfulness or absent -mindedness. Stories about absent -minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however ，absent -mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks" of our memory can cause us great trouble.‎ ‎8. If you want to have a good memory, you should .‎ A. never stop learning new things B. use your memory to play tricks C. make a conscious effort of practice D. force yourself to remember things ‎9.

Absent- mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people.‎ D. We are unwilling to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors.‎ ‎11. The best title for this passage is .‎ A. "Tricks" of Memory B. Value of Good Memory C. Absent-minded Professors D. Forgetfulness and Trouble ‎【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虽然记忆力通过练习，可以提高，但很多时候我们的记忆力会捉弄我们。文章介绍了记忆欺骗我们的几个事例。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第一段If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things.（如果你有这个愿望，并且真的有意识地努力，那么你就可以很容易地提高你的记忆力。）可知如果你想有一个好的记忆，你应该有意识地努力练习，故选C。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第一段One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.（例如，上个月的一天，我坐在理发店里等着轮到我理发，突然我意识到两天前我在我办公室对面的理发店理发了。）由此可知这位作家两天前理发了，故选B。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。上文Stories about absent -minded professors have been told for years说多年来，关于心不在焉的教授的故事被讲了许多年，由此推断出划线句子意思是我们永远不会厌倦听到新消息。也就是心不在焉不仅发生在教授身上，也发生在许多其他人身上，故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。第一段But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了虽然记忆力通过练习，可以提高，但很多时候我们的记忆力会捉弄我们，故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：‎ 细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-‎ 题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题2，答案定位在第一段One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.（例如，上个月的一天，我坐在理发店里等着轮到我理发，突然我意识到两天前我在我办公室对面的理发店理发了。）由此可知这位作家两天前理发了，故选B。‎ D On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.‎ Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Like her mother and her grandmother before her," mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.‎ Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard, She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons, Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.‎ I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn't need to lecture. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.‎ I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet， it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.‎ Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately, wanted to share with my mom.‎ ‎12. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?‎ A. Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.‎ B. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.‎ C. To stress that all the, older women in her family are environmentalists.‎ D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother S Day.‎ ‎13. We can infer from the text that .‎ A. the author s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard B. the author 'S mother used to lecture her to protect the environment C. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well D. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life ‎14. What can be learned from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author is proud of her sweet tomatoes.‎ B. The author really appreciates her mother's teaching.‎ C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.‎ D. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.‎ ‎15. The writer's attitude towards her mom's behavior changed in the order of .‎ A. negative— understanding —supportive B. supportive— doubtful—negative C. understanding —critical—supportive D. doubtful—critical— positive ‎【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文中作者通过回忆，讲述了母亲绿色环保而且节俭的生活方式。怀着一颗热爱大自然，热爱一切的心，母亲用自己一言一行影响着作者。多年后，作者从小时候对母亲的不理解，变得逐渐认同了母亲的做法，继而身体力行的过起了“绿色”的生活。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。答案定位在第二段Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment.可知母亲一直过着环保节俭的生活，由此推断出作者说母亲节和地球日有关系是为了强调母亲对环境的关注，故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文中because I was taught so well by example. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.‎ 可知母亲用自己的行动在影响着孩子们。而文中I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet， it is out of my concern for the planet itself. 也说明了作者也要像母亲一样要去身体力行的去影响孩子们，故选C。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文章内容可知作者开始和母亲一样去关注环境，保护环境。所以当她品尝自己“绿色天然的”劳动果实时，内心对母亲是心怀感激的，故选B。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文章第一段in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.‎ 和下文中的because I was taught so well by example.以及倒数第二段中作者的做法I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet， it is out of my concern for the planet itself.可以看出作者对母亲做法的态度转变，从不耐烦，到理解，最后到效仿的一个过程，故选A。‎ 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。‎ Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.‎ ‎___16___ Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily.‎ ‎___17___When you get back home you'll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn't very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.‎ When you travel, you expose yourself to different people.____18____It's a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy.___19___‎ Travelling is the realization of home.____20____Since I've been away from London ， I've ‎ come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport- everything runs on time; everything runs well.

Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.‎ C. Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.'‎ D. They may have a completely different outlook on life.‎ E. We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.‎ F. Travelling might just convince you to move to another country.‎ G. Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.‎ ‎【答案】16. F 17. B ‎ ‎18. D 19. A ‎ ‎20. E ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：旅行是与一种完全不同于自己的文化进行交流的好方法。作者通过讲述自己的经历介绍旅行的好处：旅行让你成为一个好的讲故事的人；旅行可以遇到不同的人，共享和交流一些观点和看法；旅行让你更爱自己的家乡。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 考查归纳总结。根据空格下文可知，作者在搬去西西里岛之前曾去那里旅游，并爱上那里的文化和语言，受到鼓舞学习了那里的语言，最终现在搬到西西里岛居住。因此推断此处讲述旅行可以说服你搬到另一国家。故选F。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格下文“When you get back home you’ll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family.”可知，当你旅行回家时，你会有许多故事告诉你的朋友和家人，因此推断旅行让你成为很好的讲故事的人。故选B。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文“When you travel you expose yourself to different people.”和下文“It’s a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinion on a range of topics.‎ ‎”可知，当你旅行时，你会遇到不同的人，这对你和另一个人都是一个好的学习经历，因为你们可以在一系列的话题上共享和交流自己的想法和观点。因此推断D项“他们或许对生活有完全不同的观点”符合语境。故选D。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 考查上下理解和推理判断。根据空格上文“For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy.”可知，我遇到一个伊朗摄影师，我们讨论神奇的本质，他的许多想法都是由他的伊朗背景和伊朗哲学所决定的。因此推断它是真正有趣的讨论。故选A。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格下文“So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.”可知，有时候远离家乡才会意识到你多么爱你的故乡，因此推断E项“当我们旅行时，我们意识到我们多么怀念家乡”符合语境。故选E。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.‎ Some years later, they got together again.
