【题目】 1 One day, when I was perhaps six years old, I was walking with my father on a crowded street. All of a sudden, the normal flow of pedestrian traffic backed up as people tried to avoid a large object on the sidewalk. To my astonishment, the object turned out to be a human being, a man lying unconscious against a building. 2 Certainly no one made eye contact. As we walked by ,my father — the model of a loving, caring gentleman — pointed to a bottle in a paper bag and told me that the poor soul on the sidewalk just needed to sleep it off. Then the drunken man began to murmur senselessly. My father warned me not to go near, saying "You never know how he’ll react."

3 I had spent the previous 12 months traveling in poor Asian cities, but even by those standards this was a scene of misery. In addition to being desperately poor, the locals had to live in the extremely hot climate, ridiculously huge crowds and a fairly strong wind blowing dust everywhere. Suddenly a man carrying a huge bag of peanuts called out in pain and fell to the ground. 4 A half dozen sellers ran from their stands to help, leaving unattended what might have been the totality of their possessions. One put a blanket under the man's head; another opened his shirt; a third questioned him carefully about the pain; a fourth fetched water; a fifth kept onlookers from crowding around too closely; a sixth ran for help.5 The performance could have passed for a final exam at a paramedic (护理人员)school.

A.I then witnessed an astonishing scene.

B.Not one of the passers-by seemed to notice that it was a man.

C.This was totally different from the bitter experience I had in New York.

D.Within minutes, a doctor arrived, and two other locals joined in to assist.

E.I soon came to see that day's lesson as basic knowledge for a New Yorker.

F.I'll always remember a lesson that I learned as a boy growing up in New York City.

G.Yet many years later I had a very different experience while visiting a market in Rangoon.

【答案】

1F

2B

3G

4A

5D

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在纽约,人们看到躺在地上的人,匆匆走过,漠不关心;在亚洲的一个贫困地区,人们遇到遇困之人却愿意不顾自己的摊位对别人施予援助,两种经历形成了鲜明的对比。

1下文One day, when I was perhaps six years old, I was walking with my father on a crowded street.(大概在我六岁左右的一天,我和父亲正在拥挤的街道上行走)F. I'll always remember a lesson that I learned as a boy growing up in New York City.( 我总是会想起我还是一个孩子的时候在纽约长大学到的一个经历。)承接自然,从下文的when I was perhaps six years old可知作者在回忆过去,和选项中的I learned as a boy growing up in New York City相对应,故选F项。

2下文Certainly no one made eye contact.(当然也没人和他进行眼神交流)B. Not one of the passers-by seemed to notice that it was a man.(过路人似乎没有一个注意到这个人)承接自然,上下文是并列关系,on onenot one是关键词,故选B项。

3根据下文I had spent the previous 12 months traveling in poor Asian cities, but even by those standards this was a scene of misery.(我花了12个月在亚洲一些贫穷的地方旅行,但即使按照那些标准,这也是个悲惨的场景)G. Yet many years later I had a very different experience while visiting a market in Rangoon.(多年以后,我在仰光的一个市场上有了一次完全不同的经历)承接自然,选项在此起开启下文的作用,RangoonAsian cities是关键词,故选G项。

4下文A half dozen sellers ran from their stands to help, leaving unattended what might have been the totality of their possessions.( 六个卖家从旁观到过来帮忙,而且是不顾自己值钱的摊位跑过来帮忙)A. I then witnessed an astonishing scene.(然后,我看到了一个惊人的场景)承接自然,下文是陈述所看到的内容,故选A项。

5上文One put a blanket under the man's head; another opened his shirt; a third questioned him carefully about the pain; a fourth fetched water; a fifth kept onlookers from crowding around too closely; a sixth ran for help.(一个人在他的头上盖了一条毯子;另一个人打开了他的衬衫;第三个人仔细询问他疼痛的原因;第四个人去取水;第五个人不让围观者记得太近了;第六个人跑过来帮忙)D. Within minutes, a doctor arrived, and two other locals joined in to assist.(几分钟之后,一名医生到了,另外两个当地人也来帮忙)承接自然,上下文话题一致,都讲述人们迅速过来帮忙的场景,故选D项。

【题目】 There are hundreds of grape varieties in Japan, but only one can sell for several hundred dollars per grape. The Ruby Roman was cultivated in Japan’ s Ishikawa Prefecture and is considered one of the world’ s most expensive fruits.

The story of Ruby Roman began in 1995, when Ishikawa grape farmers appealed to the government to create a large red grape variety. 400 experimental vines(葡萄树)were planted into a test field. Two years later; they started bearing fruit. However, out of the 400 vines, only 4 turned out to be red grapes, and only one of them was considered large enough to meet the farmers’ expectations. Over the next 14 years, researchers constantly improved its size, taste, color and ease of planting, and today Ruby Roman is considered a “treasure of Ishikawa”.

In 2008, soon after making its commercial debut(首秀), the Ruby Roman grape variety made international headlines after a 700-gram bunch sold for 10,000 yen$910, or $26 per grape. Eight years later, a 26-grape bunch sold for 1.1 million yen$11,000, or roughly $370 per grape.

While the Ruby Roman name is used to describe a type of grapes, every bunch must meet very strict standards. For example, every grape in the bunch must weigh at least 20 grams and have a sugar content of at least 18 percent. There is also a Premium class of Ruby Roman grapes—each grape must weigh over 30 grams, and the whole bunch must be at least 700 grams heavy.

Most bunches of Ruby Roman grapes are sold through auctions(拍卖), but Premium Ruby Rose are extremely difficult to find. For example, in 2010, only six bunches of grapes were certified Premium, and in 2011 no bunches qualified for it.

And if you’ re wondering how the Ruby Roman name came to be, it was apparently voted by local residents(居民)out of 639 different names.

1The underlined word“cultivated”in the first paragraph can be best replaced by”_________”.

A.discoveredB.preserved

C.developedD.promoted

2According to the second paragraph, Ruby Roman _________.

A.is widely planted in JapanB.does not come easily

C.used to be a treasure of IshikawaD.is more productive than expected

3What’s the author’s purpose in listing a number of figures in paragraph 3 ?

A.To explain how large Ruby Roman grapes are.

B.To tell how profitable planting Ruby Roman is.

C.To prove how popular Ruby Roman is globally.

D.To show how expensive Ruby Roman grapes are.

4What does the text say about the Ruby Roman grape?

A.It’s named after its birthplace.

B.It isn’t available in abundance.

C.It doesn’t refer to only one grape variety.

D.Its price has nothing to do with its color.

【题目】 Want to pick up that new best-seller for your flight, but not sure you want to spend the money?

This will change your mind.

If you’ve done a lot of traveling, you’ve probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar. They’ve all got familiar logos, the walls of inviting plane snacks, and, of course, the towers of new hardcover books. Chances are you’ve wanted to grab one of those books for the plane ride. However, those hardcover books are a little pricey. Is it worth it to splurge, just to relieve the midair boredom?

Yes it is—because of a cool program that these bookstores have in place. These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what’s called the “Read and Return program.” It’s exactly what it sounds like. Whenever you buy one of those books, you’ve got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back.

If you’re going on a trip, buy that book you’ve been dying to read. When you go back to the airport for the return trip, bring the book back with you and get half the money back. While you’re still in the bookstore, go ahead and get that other book you’ve been dying to read. Or the sequel to the book you read on the way there. Either way, your boredom on the flight back will be cured. And it gets better: the book you gave back will be re-sold for half price! Here’s what you can get for free at an airport.

There are two things you do need to make sure of. You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. Also, the book needs to be in decent condition. But other than that, this program couldn’t be easier. In a way, it’s like a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal for books. Or get two books for the price of one-and-a-half. Either way, count us in.

1What does the underlined word “splurge” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Spend the money.B.Take the effort.

C.Take the trouble.D.Spend the time.

2How does the “Read and Return program” run?

A.You can read books for free in any Paradies Lagardère store.

B.You can buy books for half price in airport bookstores.

C.You need to return the book to the same store where you buy it.

D.You can get half your money back if you return the book timely.

3What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.It is difficult to take part in the program.

B.The receipt is necessary if you want to return the book.

C.The program is popular with readers.

D.The program runs successfully.

4Why does the author write this passage?

A.To encourage people to read on airplanes.

B.To introduce Paradies Lagardère company.

C.To advertise the “Read and Return program”.

D.To show the advantages of reading on airplanes.

【题目】 Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions- serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.

“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, MD, in a statement.

The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor 's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (外伤性脑损伤) caused by a bump, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.

The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA' S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.

1What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?

A.Avoid using the head.B.Leave the field forever.

C.Get treatment in time.D.Switch to another sport.

2What does the underlined word “jolt” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.A sudden impact.B.A strict limit.

C.A concrete barrier.D.A permanent damage.

3What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.How the EDC works.B.What causes damage to brain cells.

C.What a concussion is.D.How a concussion can be prevented.

4Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A.Sports Injuries in the USB.Rules for Safer Play

C.Advice to AthletesD.New Policies for Doctors

【题目】 I was a newcomer in a class. So was Alice. That's where the similarities ended. I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn't. I couldn't stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school. I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she'd outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.

Alice had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.

Alice, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

1What made the similarities end?

A.Leaving the author's old school.

B.Being admitted to their new classes.

C.Their differences in appearance and personalities.

D.Their different demands of friendship and fashion.

2What did the author think of the Barbies?

A.Alice was too mature for them.

B.Alice must have made them by herself.

C.They should have been kept well.

D.They brought her back to her childhood.

3We can infer from the passage that Alice ________.

A.helped the author see her own strengths

B.was good with the people around her

C.helped to bring out the best in the author

D.inspired the authors love for fashion

4Which of the following best describes Alice as a friend?

A.Humorous.B.Ambitious.

C.Caring.D.Friendly.

【题目】 Making other people feel good feels good, and, best of all, it requires little more than a generous heart.
