    【答案】

    【1】a

    【2】direction

    【3】what

    【4】answers

    【5】thinking

    【6】be hidden

    【7】felt

    【解析】

    这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了年轻时的爱因斯坦的情况。爱因斯坦在上学时，就对指南针感兴趣。他不愿意呆在学校上学，因为学校里当时不让学生问问题，而他却偏偏爱问问题，因此不愿去上学，但是后来在他叔叔的鼓励和帮助下，他对数学产生了兴趣，别人都在学简单的数学而他已经开始研究微积分学。

    【1】

    考查冠词。句意：当Albert5岁时，他的爸爸给了他一个指南针。compass“指南针”是可数名词，根据句意可知此处是泛指，应用不定冠词，又compass是辅音音素开头，故填a。

    【2】

    考查名词。分析句子可知，此处应填名词作为介词in的宾语，由后文the north判断方向只有一个，应用名词单数，故填direction。

    【3】

    考查宾语从句。句意：他问爸爸和叔叔是什么造成了指针的移动。分析句子可知，此处是宾语从句连接词，从句caused the needle to move缺少主语，且结合上下文可知，此处意为“什么”，应用连接代词what，故填what。

    【4】

    考查名词的数。分析句子可知，此处应用名词作为句子主语，由谓语动词were判断主语应用复数形式，故填answers。

    【5】

    考查固定短语。此处考查固定短语spend some time (in) doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，应用动名词作为介词in的宾语，故填thinking。

    【6】

    考查被动语态。句意：他后来说，他觉得背后肯定隐藏着什么。由情态动词must判断此处应用动词原形，主语something和hide之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，故填be hidden。

    【7】

    考查时态。句意：分析句子可知，此处是宾语从句谓语动词，由said和were判断此处应用一般过去时，故填felt。

    【8】

    考查副词。句意：一天Albert告诉他的叔叔Jacob他非常讨厌去上学，尤其是数学。根据句意可知，此处用especially“尤其”符合语境，故填especially。

    【9】

    考查固定短语。此处考查固定短语pretend to do sth.“假装做某事”，故填to be。

    【10】

    考查介词。句意：他说：“你正在寻找某个东西，但你不知道他是谁。”根据句意可知，此处用look for“寻找”符合语境，故填for。

    【题目】 Fresh off the biggest win of her short gymnastics career, 16-year-old Morgan Hurd and her coach, SIava Glazunov, landed at Philadelphia International Airport, headed to baggage claim and prepared for the hour-long drive home to Middletown, Delaware. It was a dull drill they’d performed hundreds of times before.

    She is that gymnast who competes wearing glasses. She is so petite (娇小) that she looks tiny standing next to other gymnasts.

    “No one is born perfect,” Hurd says. “You will have imperfections. I hope more people see me and try to do sports or gymnastics with glasses. Nothing should stop you from doing something you are passionate about.”

    Hurd was 11 months old when her mom, Sherri, adopted her from Wenzhou, China, and brought her to Middletown. When Morgan was 3, Sherri began signing her up for various sports—gymnastics, soccer, T-ball, dance. Because of her size, most sports were tough. But at gymnastics class, being tiny and flexible was a gift. By the fifth grade, her talent had outgrown her classes, so Sherri brought her to First State.

    “She stood out from the start,” Glazounov says. “She exhibited that desire. She loves to impress and she wanted it always. No one ever had to tell her to work hard.”

    A single mom, Sherri worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years until retiring and taking a job for Discover Bank that allowed her to work from home, support her daughter’s home-schooling and help her daughter’s gymnastics career.

    “Who would have known when I went to get that little girl in China what was going to happen,” Sherri says. “This is our life now, but that is what I want for her, a life that is as fulfilling and happy as possible.”

    【1】What makes Morgan Hurd different from other athletes?

    A.She is a poor child who has a single mother.

    B.She is an orphan who was adopted from China.

    C.She is the gymnast who competed wearing glasses.

    D.She is an athlete who first won the champion at 16.

    【2】Why did Sherri take a job for Discover Bank?

    A.She enjoyed working at home.

    B.She didn’t like the previous one.

    C.She needed a thorough career change.

    D.She could give her full support to Morgan.

    【3】Which of the following best describes Morgan Hurd?

    A.Tiny and perfect.B.Talented and Outstanding.

    C.Flexible but incapable.D.Passionate but proud.

    【4】In which column of a website can you most probably read this text?

    A.Culture.B.Sports.

    C.Travel.D.Job.

    As Grandma gets older, she is getting more and more forgetful. I went to a nearby supermarket with her on last week. I pushed the shopping cart around to load it with what we want to buy. I was looking at some snacks while I realized Grandma was missed. I looked for her everywhere and she was nowhere to be found. So I turned to security guard who was on duty with tear in my eyes. He comforted me patient and told me to wait by the apple stand when she and other guards were searching for Grandma. It was not long before Grandma was found and brought to me. I was very grateful that I decided to put it forward and help others whenever possible.

    【题目】 Knowing what not to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we compiled a list of things you should remember at hotel checkout.

    1. Don’t be late to checkout

    Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.

    2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe

    Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.

    3. Don’t freak out

    Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.

    4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借记卡)

    Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.

    5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab

    If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.

    【1】What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?

    A.Negotiate a potential price.

    B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation.

    C.Charge extra money.

    D.Give the room to other customers.

    【2】What should you do when the receptionist meets angry customers?

    A.Spit at the assistant manager.B.Argue with the front desk.

    C.Show understanding to the situation.D.Go much further away from it.

    【3】Why is it a good idea to use a ride-sharing service to get to the airport?

    A.It helps the cab save dollars.

    B.It reduces the burden of the hotel.

    C.It is easy to get a charge back.

    D.It costs the customers less money.
