To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:‎ Visit at Night Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across t he Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.‎ Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad, which is a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.‎ Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You Before entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours witnessing people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.‎ Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower If you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere (最高水平). Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.‎ ‎1. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?‎ A. Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.‎ B. Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.‎ C. Because you can have a special sight of the city of Paris.‎ D. Because you can see the Seine as clearly as possible.‎ ‎2. What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Stand in. B. Avoid.‎ C. Control. D. Remember.‎ ‎3. Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?‎ A. Because they didn’t seize the chance.‎ B. Because they lost valuable objects.‎ C. Because they set off the metal detector.‎ D. Because they had a quarrel with the officer.‎ ‎【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C ‎【解析】本文主要介绍了参观巴黎埃菲尔铁塔的一些建议。‎ ‎1. 推理判断题。根据Visit at Night部分的you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”.可知，你能看到巴黎的夜景，会知道为什么它是一个闻名于世的光之城，这正是巴黎的特有的景色，故选C。‎ ‎2. 词义猜测题。根据本段的标题Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online（提前网上购票）可知，Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website.意为“通过在埃菲尔铁塔网站上买票，可以避开在埃菲尔铁塔处长长的购票队伍”，通过句意的理解，再结合4个选项里的单词意思，可知bypass的意思就是avoid，故选B。‎ ‎3. 细节理解题。根据Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You部分中的If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours witnessing people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.可知如果你随身携带的物品触发了金属探测器，那么你就会被带走做进一步的审查，你也就上不去了，故选C。‎ B When I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help —but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire. After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth, and ignited the cotton. Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn —one minute, then two minutes— until mom put out the fire.‎ You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, and even no running water. And we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical resources. There was no doctor my mother ‎ could bring me to see about my spider bite.‎ For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates(使失去活性) proteins, and a spider’s venom (毒液) is simply a form of protein. It’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it? But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments existed. So I can’t help but ask myself why I didn’t receive one at the time.‎ Fifteen years have passed since that incident I am happy to report that my hand is fine. But this question lingers, and I continue to be troubled by it. We have learned to edit the human genome(基因组) and unlock many secrets of how cancer progresses. We can control neuronal activity literally with the switch of a light. Each year brings more advances in biomedical research—exciting, transformative accomplishments. Yet, despite the knowledge we have accumulated, we haven’ t been so successful in distributing it to where it’s needed most. According to the World Bank, twelve percent of the world’s population lives on less than $ 2 a day. Malnutrition kills more than 3 million children annually. Three hundred million people are suffering malaria globally. All over the world, we constantly see these problems of poverty, illness, and lack of resources preventing the flow of scientific information. Life-saving knowledge we take for granted in the modern world is often unavailable in these underdeveloped regions. And in far too many places, people are still essentially trying to cure a spider bite with fire.‎ ‎4. How did the author’s mom cure him of the spider’s bite?‎ A. She sent him to the nearby hospital immediately.‎ B. She asked the neighbors for help.‎ C. She wrapped the wound with cotton and burnt it.‎ D. She let him drink some wine.‎ ‎5. What was NOT the author’s hometown like?‎ A. It was a backward village in China.‎ B. It was an industrial rural village.‎ C. It had no running water, telephones or cars.‎ D. People there had no access to modern medical care.‎ ‎6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “incorporates” in Paragraph 3?‎ A. includes B. resists C. inspires D. invents ‎7. What does the author want to do most?‎ A. Change the unequal distribution of scientific knowledge.‎ B. Discover more secrets to cancer.‎ C. Bring more advances in biochemistry.‎ D. Invent better and less painful treatments.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A ‎【解析】本文是中国湖南的生物系博士毕业生何江作为代表做的哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲文章，何江用他的亲身经历——被蜘蛛咬伤的往事讲起，说明知识传播、知识分布资源平衡的重要性。‎ ‎4. 细节理解题。根据第一段的描述，作者被蜘蛛咬了，my mom set my hand on fire……他的妈妈用火烤的方式，用土方法帮他治愈了蜘蛛的毒。故答案为C。‎ ‎5. 细节理解题。根据第二段You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial.中的关键词preindustrial可知作者的家乡还未工业化，所以B项的描述是错误的，符合题干。‎ ‎6. 词义猜测题。找到单词所在的句子It’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it?句意：那个土方子实际上（）生物化学知识，这是件很酷的事情，不是吗？结合前几句提到的作者妈妈的土方子用生物化学知识的解释：热可以破坏蛋白质，而蜘蛛毒液就是一种蛋白质。所以猜词所在的句意完整的理解就是：土方子实际上包含了基本的生物化学知识，很酷，不是吗？因此答案为A。‎ ‎7. 推理判断题。根据最后一段I am happy to report that my hand is fine. But this question lingers, and I continue to be troubled by it.以及Yet, despite the knowledge we have accumulated, we haven’ t been so successful in distributing it to where it’s needed most.可知，作者依然被那个问题困扰；虽然我们所积累的知识很多，但是我们依然没有成功地将这些知识分配到最需要的地方。因此A项的表述改变不平等的科学知识分配是作者最想要的，正确，为本题答案。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 细节理解型 ‎ ‎ 文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题。（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。（5）事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。‎ ‎2.B【解题剖析】此题属于细节理解中的（4）——是非辨别型。此题属于一类综合事实细节题，出题形式是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容) 。‎ ‎【答案定位】寻找文章里的事实依据，通过文章第二段的描述可知作者的家乡很落后，凡是现代社会的一些先进东西都没有，A,C,D三个选项都可以在本段中找到，全部正确；而根据You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial.中的关键词preindustrial可知作者的家乡还未工业化，所以B项的描述是错误的，为题干答案。‎ C Growing up in Puerto Rico, our family was no different from so many others. My parents got married after my father came back when the war ended. Both of my parents were struggling with the hard economic realities of the time. But somehow, they found time to cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.‎ In our daily life, we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday, every graduation, and all holidays with music and dancing, and typical foods. When we visited our family in the countryside—a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat —we would break into song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun. We would sing not only interesting children’s songs but also beautiful love songs — songs about the love of our country though we didn’t understand the meaning of the words many times.‎ I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency(实习) in family medicine. I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all worsened by my feeling of cultural differences.‎ An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rico singer and composer Antonio Caban Vale. The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia. Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.‎ ‎8. What do we know about the author’s family?‎ A. They lived a well-off life.‎ B. They suffered a lot from war.‎ C. They were tired of family activities.‎ D. They took cultural values seriously.‎ ‎9. Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2?‎ A. To prove her pride in her culture.‎ B. To show fun brought by her culture.‎ C. To express her love for the country.‎ D. To show the fight between her siblings.‎ ‎10. What added to the author’s depressing life in Philadelphia?‎ A. Dangers as a doctor. B. Prejudice from the rich.‎ C. Cultural shock. D. Low payment.‎ ‎11. What did the concert make the author aware of?‎ A. The excitement of the rhythms.‎ B. The value of the lyrics.‎ C. The advantage of cultural diversity.‎ D. The strength of believing in oneself.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C ‎【解析】作者讲述了自己的成长经历以及在美国的一段实习经历，再到回国后的一些经历，最后发现文化的差异性和多样性对社会而言是一种优势。‎ ‎8. 推理判断题。从第一段的 “Both of my parents were struggling ... cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.”可知，即使在困难时期，作者的父母也非常重视文化价值观。故答案选D项。‎ ‎9. 推理判断题。从第二段的内容可知，作者一家人一路欢歌，尽管他们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思，但他们享受其中的欢乐。再结合全文的内容可知，作者提及这一段旅程的目的是说明文化价值观带来的乐趣。故答案选B项。‎ ‎10. 推理判断题。根据第三段的描述，“I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all worsened by my feeling of cultural differences.”可知，作者对于在费城的生活是感到糟糕的，而cultural differences （文化差异）带来的culture shock使得情况更加恶化。故答案选C项。‎ ‎11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.”可知，therefore后面的内容是结果，而原因自然是前面提到的作者听音乐会的经历。作者由听音乐会的经历受到启发，认为对社会而言，文化差异是优势而不是劣势。故答案选C项。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 推理判断主要的解题策略有：‎ ‎（1）根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的, 通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点）常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息）多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。高考阅读试题设计到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。‎ ‎.................................‎ ‎（3）根据写作思路，推断段落发展。不同的文体，写作思路和写作手法也不尽相同。做题时，要善于体会作者的写作思路，揣摩作者的谋篇布局，从宏观上左右文章的结构框架；同时，还要把握作者行文时所运用的修辞手段，如对比、举例、下定义等。通过梳理写作思路，明晰写作手法，即可对文章的发展作出比较科学合理的推断和预测。‎ ‎（4）根据事实细节，推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。2.B【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断题中的（4）根据事实细节，推断合理信息。答案需要从文章的第二段全段进行理解来推断。‎ ‎【答案定位】根据第二段的内容可知，尤其是中间这句话…somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun..作者一家人一路欢歌，尽管他们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思，但他们享受其中的欢乐。再结合全文的内容和作者要表达的主题可知，作者提及这一段旅程的目的是说明文化价值观带来的乐趣。故答案选B项。‎ D Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between ‎ hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”‎ The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.‎ Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tat- chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.‎ ‎12. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A. How exercise makes people strong.‎ B. How to get good scores in a test.‎ C. How exercise helps the brain develop.‎ D. How the brain can change one’s memory.‎ ‎13. According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?‎ A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels.‎ B. Physical exercise helps us think better.‎ C. The brain needs special mental exercise.‎ D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.‎ ‎14. For ordinary people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ______.‎ A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month ‎15. Why is yoga suggested for seniors?‎ A. It does good to the joints of old people.‎ B. It does not increase the heart rate.‎ C. It includes learning new actions.‎ D. It can be done in groups.‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C ‎【解析】本文主要讲述了科学家们通过研究发现，运动可以让人的大脑可以更好的思维，会让人更健康，无论是婴儿还是老人都如此。‎ ‎12. 主旨大意题。根据第一段实验结果it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better.可知运动有助于大脑的发展和更好的思考，然后后面几段通过实验说明了运动是如何做到这一点的，故答案为C。‎ ‎13. 细节理解题。根据第一段Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”可知，运动能够让人们更好地去思考，让大脑产生一些物理变化，因此B项表述是正确的。‎ ‎14. 细节理解题。根据最后一段And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.可知，只需要每周2-3个小时的锻炼就可以让大脑获益了，故最少的量是2个小时，答案为A。‎ ‎15. 细节理解题。根据最后一段Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tat- chi helps to open up memory paths……可知推荐瑜伽是因为它可以学习到新的技能和动作有助于大脑记忆的开发，故选择C。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。‎ How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and / or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It’s not easy! ___16___ Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic (充满活力的) life.‎ ‎___17___‎ Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter—your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.‎ Don’t fear people.‎ ‎___18___ The reason most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them.

However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want.‎ ‎【答案】16. C 17. B ‎ ‎18. E 19. D ‎ ‎20. F ‎【解析】试题分析:本文介绍了怎样做一个尊重自己内心的声音的人，并提出了四点建议。‎ ‎16. G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍当你和朋友家人在一起的时候你是怎样保持自己的观点不被别人左右的；后句说有四个建议可以帮你，由此判断空格内容是一个转折，而G选项内容However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want．恰好符合语境，故选G。‎ ‎17. B考查段落概括能力。下一段主要讲一定要尊重自己的观点，自己最了解自己，不要被他人左右。判断B选项Never let others' opinions guide your choices符合语境。故选B。‎ ‎18.
