She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it; there was a picture in the magazine.”‎ ‎“Oh, stop. There it is!”‎ The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.‎ ‎“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (颤动). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”‎ ‎“There’s some really good stuff up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us. You have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.‎ The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.‎ Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”‎ ‎“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”‎ ‎“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”‎ ‎24. What do we know about Marian McNay?‎ A. She passed away.‎ B. She worked as a community leader.‎ C. She helped in the museum.‎ D. She wrote articles for magazines.‎ ‎25. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?‎ A. She disliked people who were nosy.‎ B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers.‎ C. She knew more about art than the man.‎ D. She mistook him for a tour guide.‎ ‎26. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?‎ A. Puzzled and annoyed. B. Concerned and anxious.‎ C. Frightened and upset. D. Delighted and excited.‎ ‎27. What could we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.‎ B. People should spend more time with their family.‎ C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.‎ D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.‎ ‎【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。作者和朋友原想参观McNay博物馆，却误将一个私人住宅当成McNay博物馆。30年后，一位女士认出误撞入自己住宅的作者，指出正是因为作者的误撞入自己家才让她意识到自己住的地方有多么美丽。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death”可知，作者去参观的McNay 博物馆是已故去的Marian McNay的家变成的。Marian McNay已经去世。故选A项。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in?”可知，作者误认为屋子里的男人是位导游，而拒绝了他的帮助。故选D项。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem?（大厅的人看起来都非常爱窥探的，眼睛好奇地看着我。他们怎么了？）”可以推断出，作者当时感到困惑不解，不知道为什么那些人盯着她看；也觉得他们爱窥探他人，有点生气。故选A项。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in”可知，在作者到她家参观之前，这位女士从未意识到自己住的地方多么美丽，从而可以推断出，人们往往对自己周围的美视而不见。故选C项。‎ C ‎“When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken by thousands of Kenyan children. 50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?‎ Although the question seems simple, finding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial. A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation（高海拔） villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce more red blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the body produces more red blood cells. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low altitudes. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have longer “birdlike” legs. The Kalenjins also have lower body mass indexes (a measure of body fat based on weight and height) and shorter bodies than Danish people.‎ As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene(基因)”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion They credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training.‎ Although the controversy over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sport, Farah said it was like a switch had been turned on in his head. He began eating healthy foods, going to bed early, and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the ‎5000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners!‎ Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Regardless of genetics, their success would not be possible without hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and mental toughness. Their ‎ “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast, and never give up.‎ ‎28. What interested the sports scientists?‎ A. Kenyan sports history.‎ B. Kanlenjins’ running ability.‎ C. Kanlenjins’ training methods.‎ D. Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sport.‎ ‎29. According to Danish scientists, what leads to the Kanlenjins’ success?‎ A. Physical condition. B. Hard training.‎ C. Living style. D. Strong will.‎ ‎30. How did Kenyan runners think about Danish research result?‎ A. Convincing. B. Astonishing.‎ C. Unacceptable. D. Important.‎ ‎31. Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the passage?‎ A. To show running methods count.‎ B. To encourage British athletes.‎ C. To prove effort pays off.‎ D. To support gene theory.‎ ‎【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。卡伦津人占肯尼亚人口不到2%，但是50%左右的肯尼亚的领先赛跑运动员都是卡伦津人，这让科学家们很疑惑。丹麦的一队运动科学家通过研究认为卡伦津人生活在高海拔地方，导致他们体内有更多的红细胞，使得他们表现比其他人好。他们还说卡伦津人的体型使得他们占优势。但是卡伦津人却认为是他们的努力使得他们表现好。英国一个运动员Farah，看到卡伦津人的严格的训练后改变了自己的饮食和作息习惯、加强训练，取得了比之前更优异的成绩。这也证明了卡伦津人的观点。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?（他们花大量时间和精力来回答一个问题：什么使得卡伦津人跑的如此快？）”可知，科学家们对卡伦津人的长跑能力很感兴趣。故选B。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第二段讲述了丹麦科学家的发现：卡伦津人跑的快的原因一是因为他们训练于高海拔地方，使得他们有更多的红细胞，所以他们的心率也比较低。二是因为他们的体型与丹麦其他人相比，有更长的腿、更低的体重指数与短小的身体。总结起来就是说丹麦科学家认为卡伦津人运动能力强的原因是他们的体质更适合跑步。A. Physical condition身体状况；B. Hard training高强度的训练；C. Living style生活方式；D. Strong will坚强的意志。故选A。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段中的“However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training（然而，卡伦津人对这个结论却很生气。他们认为他们的成功归功于他们的努力工作与长时间的训练）”可知，卡伦津人认为丹麦科学家们的结论是不可接受的。A. Convincing令人信服的，有说服力的；B. Astonishing令人惊讶的；C. Unacceptable不可接受的；D. Important重要的。故选C。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由最后一段首句“Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along.”可知，Farah的故事证明了卡伦津人一直以来相信的东西。而由第三段内容可知卡伦津人认为他们的成功归功于他们的努力工作与长时间的训练。所以Farah的故事是为了证明努力能够获得回报。故选C。‎ D By now, we are all aware that social media has had a powerful influence on our culture, in business, on the world at large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, besides seeing your friends' new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber's latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?‎ Social networks offer the opportunity for people to reconnect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and take part in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like Linkedln to improve their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.‎ Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful,‎ ‎ immoral people can target you for cyber bullying(网络欺凌) and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.‎ Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract (分心)themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.‎ Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Leaking personal information on social sites can make users easily harmed to crimes like identity theft, stalking(尾随犯罪), etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.‎ Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to improve their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.‎ ‎32. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks .‎ A. benefit users in various ways B. offer professionals good chances C. guide users to make right choices D. help students finish their homework ‎33. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies .‎ A. take legal action against the attackers B. avoid posting embarrassing information C. refuse to hire potential addicted employees D. forbid the use of social networks during work time ‎34. The main purpose of this passage is to .‎ A. remind people to wisely use social media B. provide some advice on social problems C. raise public awareness of social problems D. share experiences in using social media ‎35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?‎ I: Introduction P : Point Sp : Sub - point (次要点 ) C : Conclusion ‎ A. B. C. D. ‎ ‎【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述社交网络的利与弊，以及一些公司采取的措施。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。 根据Paragraph 2 ，可知本题为段落主旨题。第二段主要 讲述了 social media 的优点，故选 A，其中 B、C、D 选项都是第二 段具体的一个细节，不能概括全段，而 A 选项是其他选项的概括。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 细节理解题 。根 据 题 干 ―Faced with problems…, some companies…， 回到原文定位至第四段，―Many companies have blocked social networks（很多公司都屏蔽的社交网络），故选 D。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据常见的主旨原则，主旨常出现在首段或末段。根 据末段―Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely（社交媒体有好处也有坏处。应该让每一个使用者正确地使用社交 媒体），故选 A。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 推理判断题，根据结构题原则：掐头去尾，看中间。第二段主 要内容：社交媒体的优点。第三段首出现 ―unfortunately,表示转折， 因此主要内容应该是：社交媒体的缺点。‎ ‎ 第四段主要大意： 公司屏 蔽社交网络。第五段首出现―also表示和前段并列，因此也是社交媒 体的缺点。因此，第二段是优点；而第三、四、五段是缺点。故选 B。‎ ‎【点睛】‎ 本题是一道文章结构题，根据结构题原则：掐头去尾，看中间。一定要特别关注每段开头的第一句，抓住关键词，寻找清晰脉络。比如，第35小题B本题为文章结构题，根据结构题原则：掐头去尾，看中间。第二段主 要内容：社交媒体的优点。第三段首出现 ―unfortunately,表示转折， 因此主要内容应该是：社交媒体的缺点。 第四段主要大意： 公司屏 蔽社交网络。第五段首出现―also表示和前段并列，因此也是社交媒 体的缺点。因此，第二段是优点；而第三、四、五段是缺点。故选 B。‎ 考点：考查科普类阅读 第四部分 阅读信息还原（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Where did your family eat dinner last night? In the car on the way to sport? At McDonald’s? Or at the dinner table? A survey taken a few years ago found that 28% families ate dinner together at home seven nights a week. Another quarter said they ate together three or fewer nights a week.‎ Once upon a time the situation was different. ____36____ Plates, forks and spoons would be laid out. As dinner time approached, an increasing number of hungry mouths would begin to appear with the question, “What’s for dinner”?‎ ‎___37___ The data seems to point to two main issues: overworked parents and over-scheduled children. When mum or dad do get home in the evening, they are soon in the car again to send the children to soccer, music, tutoring, and a host of other events.‎ This nightly ceremony around the dinner table is both vital and fruitful; it is what keeps a family together. Sure, the conversation is not always significant and children argue. And sometimes the deepest and most meaningful times in a family are not at the table at all. ____38____The dinner table is the place where a family builds an identity. Stories are passed down, jokes are exchanged and the wider world is examined through the lens（镜头） of a family’s values. Children pick up vocabulary and a sense of how conversation is structured. ___39___ Dinner time is “family time”. Coming back daily to the same place helps gain familiarity.‎ The significance of dinner time is more than above. Studies show that the more families eat together, the less likely the children are to smoke, drink, get depressed, and develop eating disorders, and the more likely they are to do well in school and learn how to socialize. One professor at ‎ Rutgers University in New Jersey stated, “A meal is about civilizing children. ____40____”‎ So start by planning some stay at home family dinners together. Just family talk.‎ A. It’s a time to teach them to be a member of their culture.‎ B. Each night the dining table would be set with a simple cloth.‎ C. Why not cut back on a few activities and have dinner with your family?‎ D. What accounts for this decline in families eating together today though?‎ E. They also learn good table manners, something that will benefit them for life.‎ F. It was important for children and parents to sit down together and get to know each other.‎ G. However, there is still something unique about the time a family spends around the dinner table.‎ ‎【答案】36. B 37. D ‎ ‎38. G 39. E ‎ ‎40. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。你多久没和家人一起吃饭了？研究表明，全家共享的晚餐机会越多，孩子吸烟、喝酒、抑郁和饮食失调的可能性就越小，他们在学校表现越好，越了解如何社交。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 根据上一句Once upon a time the situation was different可知，从前与上一段的描述情况不同，每天晚上，家人都会聚在一起吃饭，此处描写从前的场景：每天晚上，餐桌上都会铺上简单的桌布，盘子，刀叉，勺子都会井然摆开。故选B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 根据上文的以前和现在情况的对比和下文的回答The data seems to point to two main issues: overworked parents and overscheduled children.可知，此处应为设问句，其问题内容为“然而，是什么导致了今天家庭聚餐的减少呢？”选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 根据上一句And sometimes the deepest and most meaningful times in a family are not at the table at all.可知，有时，家庭中最深刻、最有意义的时刻根本不在餐桌上。而空格后一句说到餐桌的重要性，因此此处应为转折的意思，“然而，一家人围坐在一起吃晚饭的时刻仍有其独特之处”，选G。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 本段重点描述全家围绕餐桌一同就餐的好处，上一句提到了在餐桌上孩子们牙牙学语，E项中they指代前句中的children，而且also一词的使用表明了与上一句的逻辑衔接关系，意为“他们同时也能学会好的餐桌礼仪，那是让他们受益终生的东西”，故选E。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 根据上一句A meal is about civilizing children.可知，一家人共进晚餐对教化孩子意义重大，这是教育孩子传承家庭文化的机会，故选A。‎ ‎【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，比如数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。如在本文中，第1小题中的“dinning table”，“ a simple cloth”与文中后一句“Plates, forks and spoons”为呼应关系；第3小题中的“something unique”与下文the place where a family builds an identity有顺承关系；第4小题中的“they”，第5小题中的“them”，均指代上一句中的children。‎ 第二卷(两部分，共50分)‎ 第五部分 书面表达(共三节，满分40分)‎ 第一节 选词填空(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)‎ 根据句意，选择适当的词并用其正确的形式填空，有两个词为多余选项。每空只填一个词。‎ ‎41.

It winds ___46___ (it) way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys and at last it reaches the sea. The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it ___47___(build) during the Spring and Autumn period. During the Qin Dynasty, to keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls ___48___(join) up.
