At the same time, Dennis Bangerter was looking to sell his parents' home. His mom had passed away years ago. His father died just months earlier. Dennis hoped he could find the right family to occupy the house his parents had loved for decades.     Josh and his wife had already seen two houses they were strongly considering. Then they came to Dennis's patents' house. The red-brick house was in need of rebuilding. But there seemed to be something about the house that attracted Josh and he decided to buy it.     Dennis met with Josh. He signed the house over to Josh. Within an hour, Josh took the keys and visited his new home with his family. He entered the garage, looking around. At the back of the garage was a workshop. Josh stepped inside. Something on the ceiling caught his eye—a small door. Josh got a ladder, climbed up and opened the door. It was dark inside, but Josh could just make out some metal boxes. He pulled one out. It was heavy. He carried it down the ladder, blew off the dust and opened it. Inside was money, a lot of it, as well as coins and old stamps. Josh headed back to the narrow space and pulled out seven more boxes. Each one held more of the same. He quickly called his wife, and together with the kids, they counted up the money. It was more than $ 45,000, plenty of money to help rebuild their new home.     The kids were excited trying to put some of the coins into their pockets in secret. But Josh stopped them. "This money doesn't belong to us." he explained to them. Josh called Dennis. Dennis was thrilled at the find. He knew his father, a child of the Great Depression, had saved money for years, but Dennis never knew he had saved so ‎ much.     How many people would have returned such a discovery? Dennis had found the right family—a family his parents would have been proud to leave their home to.‎ 1. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. There were five people in Josh Ferrin's family. B. Dennis's parents both passed away several months ago. C. Dennis wished a right family to move into his parents' house. D. Josh rented the house Dennis's parents had lived in for years.‎ 2. Where is the small door that caught Josh's eye?‎ A. On the upstairs of the garage. B. In one of the upstairs workshops. C. On the ceiling of the bedroom. D. on the ceiling of the workshop.‎ 3. After he made out some metal boxes, Josh ______.‎ A. carried one box down the ladder B. opened one of them immediately C. entered the narrow space at once D. carried all the boxes down the ladder 4. We can infer from the passage that ______.‎ A. Dennis's parents were very wealthy B. the money had a big attraction for Josh's family C. all the money was put in the seven metal boxes D. Dennis didn't know his father had saved money 5. The underlined sentence "This money doesn't belong to us" in Paragraph 4 shows ______.‎ A. Josh is friendly and generous B. Josh doesn't care about money C. Josh is an honest and noble man D. kids have no right to own the money C ‎ When we speak of a basic human need we mean something which is necessary to life, something we cannot possibly do without. Food is a basic human need. Without it we would starve to death; but even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food. This is known as malnutrition. ‎ ‎   In primitive countries, people want only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes. Just think of the different types of meat we eat, beef, mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit. We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous(单调的)it would become! Even turkey, which most of us eat only at Christmas, would become monotonous if we ate it every day.‎ ‎   Yet we cannot live on meat alone, and need other foods like bread and fruit to provide us with other essential nutrients which we need to keep our bodies healthy.‎ ‎   We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him in our food wants because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider ‎ choice. Take fruit, for example, not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in this country, but because of modern methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more exotic fruits from countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives.‎ ‎   However they differ in satisfying their hunger, primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food.‎ ‎   The same is true of the second of our human needs. Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies. Since we live in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropic conditions. Likewise, our clothing needs to change with seasons.‎ ‎   Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position, and the materials available. The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for us, and yet it satisfies his needs. The three —bed roomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old times.‎ 1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "malnutrition" in paragraph 1?‎ A. Having no food at all. B. Not having enough of any kind of food. C. Not having a variety of food. D. Not having enough food or enough of the right kinds of food.‎ 2. With regard to food, civilized people differ from primitive people in that ________.‎ A. they eat only the foods which can be grown near their homes B. they eat more food than primitive people did C. they eat a great variety of food D. they can afford to eat turkey every day 3. The sentence "The same is true of the second of our human needs" means ________.‎ A. the first and the second needs are exactly alike B. like the first need, the second need is also true C. what is said of the first need can also be said of the second D. the first need is as significant to human as the second need 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE of the kings and queens of the old times?‎ A. They did not admit having material comforts. B. They did not approve of material comforts. C. They were not able to afford material comforts. D. They were not able to enjoy material comforts.‎ 5. The best title for the passage would be ________.‎ A. Human Needs B. Primitive Man and Modern Man C. Modern Civilization D. Human Improvement D ‎    Many parents understandably want to ensure that their children will become financially successful. To that end, they push them to earn top grades and high scores so they can get into the best ‎ schools.     In addition, the potential rewards of greatness, particularly in sports, have increased dramatically. That encourages some parents to pressure a child to become a professional athlete. As a cautionary(警告的) tale, Taylor, who works with young achievers and their parents, recommends the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer." It illustrates(说明，阐明), he says, what can happen when parents become overly invested in their child's achievements and activities.     Taylor also laments(为……悲痛) the pervasive(到处存在的) pop-culture messages, that emphasize success and happiness, particularly success. Popular culture, he notes, offers extremely narrow definitions of success: wealth, fame, power, status, and beauty. "Very few people can live up to that."     Taylor uses sports as an example of good parental intentions gone awry(走歪，走错). When he was growing up in the 1950s, it would have been embarrassing for parents to attend sport spractice sessions. "We expected our kid world to be a kid world," he recalls. "We had zero expectations for parents to be observers and cheerleaders. A parent too much in evidence(引人注目) would have been embarrassing, as if we needed monitoring. We felt just as much loved as the current generation."     By the late 1970s, parental attendance at games had become a must. "It's a sign that you're a good parent if you go to all the games," Taylor says. "The really good parents go to all the practices, too. You have to be there for your kid, cheering your kid, protecting your kid."     Today, Taylor says, a good parent is defined as "somebody who is there for the kid's extracurricular(课外的) activities, rather than someone who is home cooking a nice meal."‎ 1. Many parents push their children very hard because they believe that ________.‎ A. a good education means good financial success B. spare the rod(棍,棒), and they'll spoil the child C. high scores will honor the family D. top grades will ensure a job opportunity 2. Some parents want their children to turn professional in sports simply because ________.‎ A. a great athlete can often attract more attention than any other public figure B. sport will arousc their enthusiasm for life as they grow up C. athlete achievements will bring them enormous rewards D. physical exercise does more good than harm 3. Though people, according to Taylor, are under constant influence of popculture, ________.‎ A. they will not pursue such superficial(表面的) values as wealth and power B. few people have realized the dangers of pressuring their children too much C. parents will not expose their children to too much pressure D. not many people can be expected to come to success and rise to fame 4. We can learn from the passage that Taylor takes a(n) ________ attitude towards pop-culture.‎ A. critical B. approving C. pessimistic D. optimistic 5. The author's purpose in writing this essay is ________.‎ A. to advise readers to invest more in their children B. to warn parents against pushing children too hard C. to tell parents to stay home more often looking after their children D. to remind parents to be present at all the practices of their children 二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）‎ 6.

Therefore, I didn't know what the stage   (36)   was.     Our school has a weekly "Parents View"   (37)   in the assembly. Around four years ago,   (38)   I received a call from the Principal of our school telling me to come to the "Parent View" which was out of my expectation.

This time I felt easy. I gave the presentation and it was   (53)   by the Principal as well as the teachers   (54)   they knew where I started from.

We often get the first impression of a person based on the color of a person's skin or the manner in which he or she is dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal(用语言的)languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors. ‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is important because we use the action of others to learn about their affective emotional states. Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—fear, joy, anger or sadness—so we can express them without even saying a word. For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(观点,看法)of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and lovers is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to hug each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.‎ What does the passage mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ Why can we know a person's feeling through his or her eyes? (No more than 15 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ What's the meaning of the underlined word "conveyed" in paragraph I? (No more than 5 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ What can we conclude from the last paragraph? (No more than 15 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ Do we need to pay attention to nonverbal communication? Why? (No more than 25 words) ‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________‎ 五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）‎ 1. 你是一名中学生,在一位名叫Tiger Mom的学生家长的博客上,你看到如下内容。请你根据博客内容,写作要点和要求,给这位家长回复。 ‎ ‎   I'm the mother of a fourteen-year-old girl.

Food is a basic human need. Without it we would starve to death; but even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food. This is known as malnutrition. ‎ ‎   In primitive countries, people want only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes. Just think of the different types of meat we eat, beef, mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit. We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous(单调的)it would become! Even turkey, which most of us eat only at Christmas, would become monotonous if we ate it every day.‎ ‎   Yet we cannot live on meat alone, and need other foods like bread and fruit to provide us with other essential nutrients which we need to keep our bodies healthy.‎ ‎   We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him in our food wants because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider choice. Take fruit, for example, not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in this country, but because of modern methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more exotic fruits from countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives.‎ ‎   However they differ in satisfying their hunger, primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food.‎ ‎   The same is true of the second of our human needs. Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies. Since we live in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropic conditions. Likewise, our clothing needs to change with seasons.‎ ‎   Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position, and the materials available. The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for us, and yet it satisfies his needs. The three —bed roomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old times.‎ 1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "malnutrition" in paragraph 1?‎ A. Having no food at all. B. Not having enough of any kind of food. C. Not having a variety of food. D. Not having enough food or enough of the right kinds of food.‎ 1. With regard to food, civilized people differ from primitive people in that ________.‎ A. they eat only the foods which can be grown near their homes B. they eat more food than primitive people did C. they eat a great variety of food D. they can afford to eat turkey every day 2. The sentence "The same is true of the second of our human needs" means ________.‎ A. the first and the second needs are exactly alike B. like the first need, the second need is also true C. what is said of the first need can also be said of the second D. the first need is as significant to human as the second need 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE of the kings and queens of the old times?‎ A. They did not admit having material comforts. B. They did not approve of material comforts. C. They were not able to afford material comforts. D. They were not able to enjoy material comforts.‎ 4. The best title for the passage would be ________.‎ A. Human Needs B. Primitive Man and Modern Man C. Modern Civilization D. Human Improvement ‎【答案】‎ ‎【小题1】D ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】C ‎【小题4】D ‎【小题5】A ‎【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述人类的的基本需要，那些对于生命必不可少的东西：食物、衣服和住房。 ‎ 根据上文even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food.可知，即使我们吃了许多食物，我们的身体也会因为缺少正确的食物而遭受痛苦。因此可知我们没有吃足够正确的食物。故画线词词语与D项意义相近。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ 根据第四段首句We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him in our food wants because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider choice.可知，我们与原始人一样知道食物是基本需要，但是我们与他们的不同是我们有更广泛的食物选择。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ 根据下文Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies.可知，衣服是调节我们身体热量的必要条件，结合上文对于食物的讲述可推断，上文讲述的也适用于人类的第二个需要。也就是说关于第一个需要所讲述的也适用于第二个需要。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ 根据最后一句尾句The three -bed roomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old times.可知，古代的国王和女王也享受不到现代的物质享受。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ 纵观全文可知，文章主要讲述人类的的基本需要，那些对于生命必不可少的东西，食物、衣服和住房。因此推断A项“人类的需要”。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎    Many parents understandably want to ensure that their children will become financially successful. To that end, they push them to earn top grades and high scores so they can get into the best schools.     In addition, the potential rewards of greatness, particularly in sports, have increased dramatically. That encourages some parents to pressure a child to become a professional athlete. As a cautionary(警告的) tale, Taylor, who works with young achievers and their parents, recommends the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer." It illustrates(说明，阐明), he says, what can happen when parents become overly invested in their child's achievements and activities.     Taylor also laments(为……悲痛) the pervasive(到处存在的) pop-culture messages, that emphasize success and happiness, particularly success. Popular culture, he notes, offers extremely narrow definitions of success: wealth, fame, power, status, and beauty. "Very few people can live up to that."     Taylor uses sports as an example of good parental intentions gone awry(走歪，走错). When he was growing up in the 1950s, it would have been embarrassing for parents to attend sport spractice sessions. "We expected our kid world to be a kid world," he recalls. "We had zero expectations for parents to be observers and cheerleaders. A parent too much in evidence(引人注目) would have been embarrassing, as if we needed monitoring. We felt just as much loved as the current generation."     By the late 1970s, parental attendance at games had become a must. "It's a sign that you're a good parent if you go to all the games," Taylor says. "The really good parents go to all the practices, too. You have to be there for your kid, cheering your kid, protecting your kid."     Today, Taylor says, a good parent is defined as "somebody who is there for the kid's extracurricular(课外的) activities, rather than someone who is home cooking a nice meal."‎ 1. Many parents push their children very hard because they believe that ________.‎ A. a good education means good financial success B. spare the rod(棍,棒), and they'll spoil the child C. high scores will honor the family D. top grades will ensure a job opportunity 1. Some parents want their children to turn professional in sports simply because ________.‎ A. a great athlete can often attract more attention than any other public figure B. sport will arousc their enthusiasm for life as they grow up C. athlete achievements will bring them enormous rewards D. physical exercise does more good than harm 2. Though people, according to Taylor, are under constant influence of popculture, ________.‎ A. they will not pursue such superficial(表面的) values as wealth and power B. few people have realized the dangers of pressuring their children too much C. parents will not expose their children to too much pressure D. not many people can be expected to come to success and rise to fame 3. We can learn from the passage that Taylor takes a(n) ________ attitude towards pop-culture.‎ A. critical B. approving C. pessimistic D. optimistic 4. The author's purpose in writing this essay is ________.‎ A. to advise readers to invest more in their children B. to warn parents against pushing children too hard C. to tell parents to stay home more often looking after their children D. to remind parents to be present at all the practices of their children ‎【答案】‎ ‎【小题1】A ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】D ‎【小题4】A ‎【小题5】B ‎【解析】【文章大意】许多父母想要确保他们的孩子经济上成功，对孩子逼迫很紧。文章以父母逼迫孩子在体育上的成功分析了这种社会现象，警告父母不要对孩子逼迫太紧。 【关键词】financially successful; pressure... 1.根据第一段Many parents understandably want to ensure that their children will become financially successful. To that end, they push them to earn top grades and high scores so they can get into the best schools.可知，许多父母想让他们的孩子们经济上成功，为了达到这个目的，他们对孩子逼迫的很紧，以便于他们获得好成绩和高分进入最好的学校，因此推断许多父母对孩子逼迫的很紧是因为他们认为良好的教育意味着良好的经济上的成功。故选A。 2.根据第二段提到的In addition, the potential rewards of greatness, particularly in sports, have increased dramatically. That encourages some parents to pressure a child to become a professional athlete.可知，运动员的成就会带来巨大的回报，这鼓励一些父母逼迫孩子成为专业运动员。故选C。  3.根据第三段提到的Popular culture, he notes, offers extremely narrow definitions of success: wealth, fame, power, status, and beauty. "Very few people can live up to that."可推断，根据泰勒所说的，尽管人们受到潮流文化强调成功和幸福的影响，但是很少有人可以期望获得成功，名声大振。故选D。  4.根据第三段Popular culture, he notes, offers extremely narrow definitions of success: wealth, fame, power, status, and beauty. "Very few people can live up to that."可知，泰勒认为潮流文化定义成功为财富、名望、权利、地位和美丽，很少有人能够做到。因此推断他对于潮流文化持批判的态度。故选A。  5.根据第一段提到的To that end, they push them to earn top grades and high scores so they can get into the best schools.和第二段提到的It illustrates(说明，阐明), he says, what can happen when parents become overly invested in their child's achievements and activities.以及Taylor also laments (为……悲痛) the pervasive(到处存在的) pop-culture messages, that emphasize success and happiness, particularly success.‎ 可推断，文章讨论了父母希望他们的孩子经济上成功，为此他们逼迫孩子们要获得好成绩进入好学校，接下来讲述了专家泰勒对此事的看法，流行文化把成功定义为财富和地位等，以至于父母为此对孩子逼得很紧，这是不对的。因此推断作者写这篇文章的目的是警告父母不要对孩子逼得太紧。故选B。 ‎ 二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）‎ 1.

We often get the first impression of a person based on the color of a person's skin or the manner in which he or she is dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal(用语言的)languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors. ‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is important because we use the action of others to learn about their affective emotional states. Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—fear, joy, anger or sadness—so we can express them without even saying a word. For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(观点,看法)of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and lovers is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.‎ ‎   Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to hug each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.‎ What does the passage mainly talk about?
