When they were beating their brains to recall how many people attended John’s ninth birthday, I succeeded in reminding them of the details. I told them that Tom, Barbara, Tony and I did; that Mary brought a toy car as a gift, Tom brought a four-in-one game disc…; that John said after blowing out the candles his wish was to be a pilot when he grew up… When Bob, Jim and Elizabeth were quarrelling, faces flush with anger, about the name of the forest where they went camping, I stopped them by detailing to them on which date, which month, which year we visited which forest and ate what food for picnic…‎ Bob often says, “Lewis, if only I had a memory half as good as you!” Whenever hearing this, a voice shouted from the bottom of my heart, “How I wish God gave me a forgetfulness half as good as you!”‎ In fact, instead of being proud of my memory, I hate it; I’ve suffered a lot from it, for it is sometimes too good: I can remember everything I’ve experienced, including what I don’t want to remember; indeed, I do hope to forget something!‎ Barbara and I are best friends from the cradle. In fact, our relationship was already beyond friendship; it was that of lovers. But one day she left me for no reason except that I was too familiar to her to further our relationship. Over the next two months and a half, I couldn’t fall to sleep. While in bed wide awake, I warned myself, “You must forget her, otherwise you will get destroyed.” But my good memory failed me again and again — I could remember how beautiful it was when I first kissed her affectionately and then in turn received even more affectionate responses; I could remember every sweet word she had said to me…‎ ‎4. The first paragraph is intended to describe ________.‎ A. how the writer’s friends were jealous of him B. what a good memory the writer had C. what happy childhood he shared with his friends D. what an important part he played among his friends ‎5. Barbara left the writer ________.‎ A. for nothing B. because she hated it that he kissed her C. because their friendship broke D. because she was tired of him ‎6. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. The writer and Barbara had a long-time friendship.‎ B. The writer, somehow, hated his good memory.‎ C. The writer was struggling to tear himself off the pain of losing love.‎ D. Tony’s wish was to be a pilot when he grew up.‎ ‎7. What the writer suffered the most was that ________.‎ A. he had got too good a memory B. Barbara left for no reason C. others were jealous of him D. the sweet past was out of memory ‎【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。作者拥有朋友们都嫉妒的好记性，但是实际上作者非但不为自己的记忆力感到骄傲，反而讨厌它，因为作者能记住经历过的一切，包括他不想记住的。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句My friends are often jealous of my good memory.（我的朋友们经常嫉妒我的好记性。）以及本段主要介绍了作者好记性的具体事例，可推知第一段意在描述作者有多么好的记忆力。故选B。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中But one day she left me for no reason except that I was too familiar to her to further our relationship.（但有一天，她无缘无故地离开了我，只是因为我对她太熟悉了，无法进一步发展我们的关系。）可知芭芭拉离开了作者是因为作者对她太熟悉了，她厌倦了作者。故选D。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中that John said after blowing out the candles his wish was to be a pilot when he grew up…（约翰吹灭蜡烛后说他的愿望是长大后当飞行员。）可知约翰长大后想成为飞行员，故D选项“托尼的愿望是长大后当一名飞行员。”错误。故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段In fact, instead of being proud of my memory, I hate it; I’ve suffered a lot from it, for it is sometimes too good: I can remember everything I’ve experienced, including what I don’t want to remember; indeed, I do hope to forget something!（事实上，我非但不为自己的记忆力感到骄傲，反而讨厌它;我吃了不少苦头，因为有时它太美好了:‎ 我能记住我经历过的一切，包括我不想记住的;的确，我真希望忘掉一些事情!）可知作家最痛苦的是他记性太好了。故选A。‎ C Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.‎ Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb to new stimulation, new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.‎ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.‎ Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.‎ The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.‎ Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.‎ ‎8. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.‎ A. anxious to do wonders B. sensitive to others’ feelings C. likely to develop unpleasant habits D. eager to explore the world around them ‎9. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To avoid jumping to conclusions. B. To stop complaining all the time.‎ C. To follow the teacher’s advice. D. To admit mistakes honestly.‎ ‎10. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?‎ A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.‎ B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.‎ C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.‎ D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.‎ ‎11. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ________.‎ A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life C. open our mind to new things and ideas D. try our best to protect nature ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章指出但当我们还是孩子的时候，好奇心给了我们一种自然的意识。而如今我们对新的刺激、新的想法已经麻木了。尽管需要练习，重新学习观察周围世界的艺术是很简单的，需要打破一些坏习惯。作者就此说明了唤醒意识需要进行的步骤和会遇到的障碍。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句 Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness （好奇心给了我们一种自然的意识）和第四句 But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear, we are numb (麻木的) to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas.（但是，当我们还是孩子的时候，那些清晰的区别就变得模糊不清了，我们对新的刺激、新的想法已经麻木了。） 可知，与成人相比，孩子们对世界更具有好奇心，更乐于去探索世界。故选D。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句 The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting ‎ what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. （唤醒感官的第一步是在它发生之前停止预测我们将要看到和感觉到什么。）可知，作者认为在事情发生前不要进行推测。与A项“避免直接得出结论”意思相近。故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一句 They seemed bent on their destinations. 可知，这些登山客关心的只是到达目的地，即他们的营地。故选B。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段前两句 Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. （大自然似乎向那些观察和等待的人展现。下次你散步的时候，无论你在哪里，把所有的景象、声音和感觉都吸收进去。）可知，作者希望我们能够运用我们的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界。故选A。‎ D We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.‎ To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.‎ As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to ‎13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy ‎ consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.‎ So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.‎ ‎12. What does the author think of new devices?‎ A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.‎ C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.‎ ‎13. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?‎ A. To reduce the cost of minerals.‎ B. To test the life cycle of a product.‎ C. To update consumers on new technology.‎ D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.‎ ‎14. Which of the following uses the least energy?‎ A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.‎ C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.‎ ‎15. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?‎ A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.‎ C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.‎ ‎【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇科普说明文。文章指出纽约罗彻斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事研究证实：旧电子设备要比新设备耗能高，所以作者主张使用新电子设备，既经济又环保。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 观点态度题。根据文章第一段中的That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.可知，使用旧的电子设备对环境和我们的钱包都是坏消息。这些过时的设备做相同的事情要消耗比新设备更多的能量。由此推知作者认为新电子设备环保、节能。故选A。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life可知，Babbitt’s team研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。故选D。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.可知，平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备，可以降低44%的耗能。故选B。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容可知，因为旧的电子设备耗能高，不环保。所以作者建议停止使用旧的电子设备。故选A。‎ 点睛：熟悉比较句型是彻底理解本文的关键，也是解题的关键。本文中的比较句型：‎ ‎1. That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the news ones that do the same things 做同样的事，旧的过时的装置比新装置消耗更多能源，对环境有害，浪费钱财。‎ ‎2. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.‎ 根据Babbitt团队的分析，旧的桌面显示器和阴极射线管箱式电视机是最差的电子设备，它们的耗能和温室气体的排放是1992到2007window的两倍还多。‎ ‎3. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.他们发现在平板电脑上看的随需变化的娱乐节目比在电视和电脑上看耗能减少了44%。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据文章内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you?” Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? ______16______‎ Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies(礼节). But many social norms(规范) just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.‎ Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette，asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”‎ ‎_____17_____ Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.‎ This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners, ____18____ Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, " Ahoy! "Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face-to-face communications.‎ In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. _____19_____ And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.‎ How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people,especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. ____20____ In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.‎ A. Then there is voice mail.‎ B. Others, like me, want no reply.‎ C. But people still ask these things.‎ D. Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?‎ E. Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?‎ F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.‎ G. When the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to greet a caller.‎ ‎【答案】16. D 17. A ‎ ‎18. G 19. C ‎ ‎20. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。科技时代新的交流方式冲击了传统礼节，造成了不同人对两者的不同运用。我们要多考虑对方的情况，互相理解，既有礼貌又尽量不浪费别人时间。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段提到一些人很粗鲁，下面列举了既发语音邮件又发信息浪费时间的具体表现。D项“难道这些人没有意识到他们在浪费你的时间吗?”对上面例子进行了总结，对这些做法提出了疑问。故选D。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据段中The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.可知，作者提到留下语音邮件又发电子邮件通知的情况。A项Then there is voice mail.位于段首，引出voice mail，下文对其进行介绍。故选A。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, " Ahoy! "Finally, hello won out,可知当时Bell刚发明电话时怎样打招呼的问题，G项：当电话发明时，人们不知道如何和来电者打招呼。与下文连接，故选G。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段介绍智能手机时代数字地图能够解决许多生活查询问题，你帮助他们解决问题后，他们会回复你感谢邮件。C项But people still ask these things.与上文转折，与下文连接。故选C。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段介绍不同的人群对礼节有不同的看法，我们要多考虑对方的情况，互相理解。上句Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message介绍了老年人的习惯，B项Others, like me, want no reply.与之对比，指出年轻人与老年人不同。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第2小题的voice mail，第3小题的Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,在文中都能找到对应的词或相关内容。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ For long, a little boy was wondering why his deskmate could rank 1st in the class whenever he wanted to, while he himself failed to: he only ranked 21st.‎ At home, he asked his Mom, “Mom, am I more 21 than others? I feel I am obedient and as careful as him, but 22 I always fall behind? ” Hearing the words， Mom was aware that her son began to 23 the sense of self-respect, which was now being injured by the ranking system. 24 at him, she went wordless, not knowing 25 to explain.‎ ‎ In another test, the son ranked 17th, while his deskmate remained 1st.

You are not as hard-working as others…” but she stopped 30 imagining her son suffering from the pains of unsatisfied grades and rankings. She thought it 31 to put any additional burden on his son and was trying to find out a perfect answer.‎ Time passing swiftly, the son 32 primary school. Despite studying harder and better, he was still unable to keep up with his deskmate. To show her pride of him, Mom decided to 33 him to the sea. During the trip, she managed to give an answer.‎ Now, the son no longer worries about his 34 , and there are no boring guys who would inquire his grades in primary school, because, 35 the 1st ranking, he is admitted to Tsinghua University.
