The jet stream (急流)had dipped down, causing the Arctic cold to reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龙头)were dry. The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast. Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth - 31 - for others every chance we get. 4. What was the direct reason why the water pipes were frozen? A. The jet stream. B. The low temperature. C. The cold wind. D. The author ' s own carelessness. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "roared to in Paragraph 2? A. Began functioning smoothly. B. Worked inappropriately. C. Broke down suddenly. D. Screamed out loudly. 6. What did the author think of his work? A. Embarassed. B. Satisfied. C. Mad with joy. D. Cautiously optimistic. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly centered on? A. The coldness of life has a negative effect on our life quality. B. We meet with the coldness of life unavoidably and unwillingly. C. We should be thankful for bits of warmth of life. D. We should seize every chance to receive warmth of life from others. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】 本文是记叙文。一个寒冷的冬天早晨,由于作者的粗心大意而使水管冻死,没水可用。作者只得想尽办法自己修复,最后得到了热水做了早餐。作者从这件事得出,不要让生活中的寒冷影响我们,要感激生活中给我们带来的每一个温暖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的信息“I had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night - 31 - before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets (水龙头) were dry” 可知,头天晚上我忘记了让水龙头的水一直处于滴水的状态,现在水管冻结了,水龙头也流不出水了。由此可知,导致水管冻结的直接原因是由于作者本人的疏忽。故正确答案为D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据该画线短语所在句子中的信息“ and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipe…after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again”可知,两个加热器开始向冻结的水管吹热空气,…二十分钟后,水又开始流过我的水龙头。此处roared to life表达的含义应该是两台加热器开始正常运转起来。分析选项可知A符合题意,故正确答案为A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.”中的smiled和“a joy filled with "Thank you"”可知,作者对自己的工作很满意。故正确答案为B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段,尤其是最后两句“Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.”可知,作者强调我们要感激生活中的每一个温暖,无论它们是多么的微不足道。故选C。 【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上,阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式,这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文(各种已知信息)并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。如第2小题,根据该画线短语所在句子中的信息“ and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipe…after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again”可知,两个加热器开始向冻结的水管吹热空气,…二十分钟后,水又开始流过我的水龙头。此处roared to life表达的含义应该是两台加热器开始正常运转起来。分析选项可知A符合题意,故正确答案为A。 C America’s latest superhero Austin Perine,who calls himself President Austin,is now taking the country by storm.But he is not a typical superhero.Two things - 31 - set him apart:He doesn’t fight human enemies,but hunger and homelessness.Also,he’s only four years old. Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Perine,his father,took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries,a local shelter that provides housing,food and other services for the homeless.As they drove by the building,they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.That day,Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan,“Don’t forget to show love!” After he returned every week for five weeks in a row,word of Austin’s kindness spread through social media.Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time before,and now,thanks to community support,they can feed 800 to 2,000 people. But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs.He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries,TJ and Austin talked to a poor man named Raymont.The respect Austin showed for him touched 41-year-old Raymont,who regained his confidence in life and finally found a job with the help of TJ.All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care. Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling.After raising money through a GoFundMe page,Audrey,TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation,dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president,and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness. As for President Austin,he continues to give out food,smiles,and his inspirational message of love.“It makes me feel like I’m saving the day,”he said proudly. 8. Why has Austin become well—known to the entire country? A. He has super power to fill the stomachs of the homeless. B. He fights hunger and homelessness at such a young age. C. He has removed the poverty of the local community. D. He has chosen an impressive and unique name. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“dedicated”in Paragraph - 31 - 5? A. Exposed. B. Opposed. C. Devoted. D. Addicted. 10. Why does the author introduce the example of Raymont in Paragraph 4? A. To show Austin’s positive influence. B. To persuade people to live off their own. C. To prove the personal ability of Austin’s father. D. To describe the difficult situation of poor people. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards what Austin does? A. Sympathetic. B. Humorous. C. Approving. D. Considerate. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文,4岁的美国男孩Austin成为了美国的国家英雄,这是因为他努力帮助无家可归的人,并鼓励他们积极面对生活。他的善意给那些无家可归者带来了积极的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句“Two things set him apart: He doesn’t fight human enemies,but hunger and homelessness. Also,he’s only four years old.”可知Austin的年龄以及他给无家可归者分发食物的善意行为这两个原因让他出名了。故B项正确。 【9题详解】 猜测词义题。根据划线词前面半句“After raising money through a GoFundMe page,Audrey,TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation”可知受到Austin 的影响Audrey也创立了一个公益组织Show Love Foundation,努力帮助无家可归者。故该词意为“devoted努力的”,故C项正确。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs. He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets.”可知Austin不仅帮助无家可归者填饱肚子,还努力改善他们的生活。接下来列举Raymont的例子正是为了说明他的善意对无家可归者的积极影响。故A项正确。 【11题详解】 - 31 - 推理判断题。根据文章第一句“America’s latest superhero Austin Perine,who calls himself President Austin,is now taking the country by storm.”可知Austin现在已经成为了美国的英雄,他努力为无家可归者提供食物并鼓励他们积极面对生活。他的善意给那些无家可归者带来了积极的影响。作者对Austin的行为持支持并满意的态度。故C项正确。 D It is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters -- after all, they probably spend more time with each other. Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence. In exceptional(例外) circumstances(情况), this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school. However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard of the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. He traced(追踪) sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life. The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible (unbelievable) similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the 'Jim Twins' made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents. - 31 - But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to 'nature'. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasis(强调) that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins. 12. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that ______. A. twins communicate with each other in an unusual way. B. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problems. C. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new language. D twins won’t have an effective communication until they go to school. 13. The purpose of Tom Bouchard’s study is to find ______. A. what will happen if twins spend lives entirely in the same company. B. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different families. C. whether separated growing up has effect on twins’ special similarities. D. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up. 14. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Book. B. Explanation. C. Literature. D. Measurement. 15. According to Tom Bouchard’s research, the special similarities between twins ______. A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer from. B. can not be proved or accepted by all the experts. C. result from the twins’ growing up and development. D. are not closely linked with where the twins are raised. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 本文是说明文。双胞胎之间有许多相似处,甚至他们之间还有特殊的交流方式。研究发现即使分开成长的双胞胎也有许多特殊相似性,这种特殊相似性与他们的成长环境并没有密切的联系。这其中有天性也存在巧合的成分。 - 31 - 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段In exceptional(例外) circumstances(情况), this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own.说明了例外情况下,这种亲密关系变得更极端:他们发明了自己的语言。随后就列举了Grace 和 Virginia Kennedy的例子,用来说明上述情况,即双胞胎以一种不同寻常的方式相互交流。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard of the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. 当双胞胎不能一起长大,当他们出生时由于某种原因分开,会发生什么?他们是否和其他陌生人一样,或者他们之间还有什么特别的相似之处?可知Tom Bouchard的研究目的是想找出是否分开成长对双胞胎的特殊相似性有影响。故选C。 【14题详解】 猜测词义题。上文提到Tom Bouchard进行跟踪研究,想找出是否分开成长对双胞胎的特殊相似性有影响。下文是研究结果,即使分开成长的双胞胎也有许多特殊相似性。所以The results of this research make a surprising reading.指这项研究的结果令人惊讶,其中的reading应该和选项中的Explanation意思一致,指研究结果对问题的解释。最后一段But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities?也有提示,故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。第三段对研究结果的描述:研究发现,许多双胞胎有着相同的爱好,许多人都患有相同的疾病,有些人甚至在生命的同一时刻遭遇了相同类型的事故。一对中年妇女第一次见面时穿着相似的衣服,另一对戴着相似的首饰。甚至被不同家庭收养的双胞胎还有相同的名字。由此可见双胞胎之间的特殊相似性与他们的成长环境并没有密切的联系。故选D。 第二节:七选五(每题2.5分,满分12.5分) Sometimes it can be hard to recognize a true friend, one who is loyal(忠诚的)and one who is worth keeping by your side. The suggestions provided in this article will help to guide you in working out which friends are likely to be true. Be able to trust your friends. You should be able to trust true friends and they should return this trust. Your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows. Let - 31 - you share secrets. Ask you for advice.___16___ However, if your friends hide things from you and act secretive, this could be a sign that they do not trust you, but it could also mean your friends keep to themselves or don’t like to reveal too much about themselves. Consider comfort. How comfortable do your friends feel when they are around you? Watch them, are they being themselves or are they timid (胆怯的)around you? ___17___True friendships can take a while to develop, but if your friends are true, they should feel comfortable around you. ___18___This is not meant in a romantic way, but consider whether your friends are comfortable with the touch. If your friends are fine with hugging you, leaning on you, resting their heads on your shoulder and so forth, then you can judge they love you. Think about loyalty. True friends are always there for one another. If you are in need of a helping hand, your true friends should be there to offer it to you. ___19___You can trust friends with anything, knowing that they will be loyal and will not let your secrets out. Look at how you fight. Nearly all best friends fight; so if you and your friend have a little dispute(争论), don't sweat it! ___20___. They will not tell each other’s secrets and they still care about each other. A. Consider the touch barrier. B. Consider how you insult each other. C. They should know that you are not serious. D. These are sure signs that your friends trust you. E. Are they acting fake—perhaps hiding an insecurity? F. True friends should not get one another into trouble. G. True friends will remain faithful and find their way through a fight. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍如何识别一个真正的朋友。 - 31 - 【16题详解】 考查承上启下句。根据前文Your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows. Let you share secrets. Ask you for advice. (你的朋友会告诉你其他人不知道的秘密。让你分享秘密。询问你的建议。)和后句的转折However, if your friends hide things from you and act secretive, this could be a sign that they do not trust you(但是,如果你的朋友对你隐瞒了事情,表现得很隐秘,这可能是他们不信任你的迹象)可知,空格处表达前文的动作是你朋友信任你的明显迹象。故选D。 【17题详解】 考查上下文衔接。根据前两句How comfortable do your friends feel when they are around you? Watch them, are they being themselves or are they timid (胆怯的)around you?(当你的朋友和你在一起时,他们感觉有多舒服? 看着他们,他们在你身边时是真实的自己还是说他们变得胆小了?)前面用的是问句,所以后一句继续用问句来问,E项:Are they acting fake—perhaps hiding an insecurity?(他们是不是在装模作样——也许是在隐藏一种不安全感?)符合文意,故选E。 【18题详解】 考查主题句。根据This is not meant in a romantic way, but consider whether your friends are comfortable with the touch.(这并不是说要浪漫,而是要考虑你的朋友们是否喜欢这种触摸。)这里提到了关键词touch,选项 Consider the touch barrier.(考虑一下触摸障碍。)符合本段文意,故选A。 【19题详解】 考查上下文衔接。根据前句If you are in need of a helping hand, your true friends should be there to offer it to you.(如果你需要帮助,你真正的朋友应该在那里提供给你。)可知,真正的朋友不会给让你陷入困境。故选F。 【20题详解】 考查上下文衔接。根据前一句Nearly all best friends fight; so if you and your friend have a little dispute(争论), don't sweat it!(几乎所有最好的朋友都会吵架,如果你和你的朋友有小小的争执,别担心!),再根据后句They will not tell each other’s secrets and they still care about each other.(他们不会告诉对方的秘密,他们仍然关心对方。因为他们互相关心,所以必须找到缓和争执的机会。),D项:True friends will remain faithful and find their way through a fight.( - 31 - 真正的朋友会保持忠诚,并在争执中找到出路。)承上启下,故选G。 【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。例如小题3要求选择本段的主题句,结合其它四个主题句可知,主题句都是以动词原形开头的祈使句,再抓住后句的关键词touch和选项 Consider the touch barrier.,再结合其段落的内容就不难选出正确的答案。 第三节:完形填空(每题1分,满分15分) Every culture on the planet has certain topics that people avoid discussing. But the taboos (禁忌) of one culture may be very different from those of another. You may be ___21___ that people from other cultures say what you can’t talk about. Paying attention to what people don’t ___22___ can teach us something important about their culture. Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value, respect or even fear. Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial (有争议的)may also be avoided. America is full of taboo topics. Usually, during a polite conversation, Americans will ___23___ both politics and religion. They also avoid talking about racial issues(种族问题). Why? Because these topics can cause strong opinions and ___24___ . Americans believe it’s best to avoid them — especially at social gatherings. Many Americans also do not feel ___25___ talking about their personal income, age or health. ___26___, they prefer to make small talks about the weather, sports or common interests. What do these taboos tell us about American ___27___? For one, they show that Americans place importance on ___28___ . America certainly isn’t the only place that values it. You will find ___29___ taboos about asking personal questions in many European countries. “This is especially true in Germany”, says Hanna Graf, a German living in Shanghai. “In Germany, you are not supposed to ask about other people’s personal business,” she says. “But there are no ____30____ rules about what you can’t ask; it’s just in people’s minds.” In Brazil, ____31____, almost anything seems open to discussion. “Brazilians - 31 - talk about all kinds of personal issues,” says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything ____32____ about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be ____33____. Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business ____34____. They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting(夸大) your achievements will only make you the ____35____ of other people’s jokes. And what about your taboos? The next time you have a conversation, pay attention to what isn’t said.

The pet can teach responsibility, build a connection to the classroom, serve as a motivator, and be something for the children to love. If the teacher is willing to take on the added responsibility of caring for an animal in addition to all of the children in the classroom, a class pet can be a wonderful addition to a class. Many factors need to be taken into consideration when choosing a class pet. It cannot be too big, as classrooms generally have limited space. Cost should also be considered since the teacher will likely have to pay for the pet, its food and its habitat. It must also be somewhat hardy (耐寒的). Each particular type of animal has its advantages and disadvantages, and a teacher must weigh these and make a decision about which one is right for his or her class. Birds are physically more delicate (娇养) than many other animals. They will not survive in drafts (气流) and need a somewhat regulated temperature in their environment. Many birds are quite social and do best with other birds or when being handled routinely by people who can be appropriate with them. Young children are not likely to have the skill to handle a bird without harming it, making it a poor choice for a class pet. Some reptiles are beautiful to look at but are delicate, afraid of cold, light sensitivity or poisonous and shouldn’t be handled by children. Others are more hardy but require expensive habitats. Most snakes eat rats and mice, which may be a - 31 - frightening thing for small children to witness. A hardy fish, such as a betta, is a good low-cost option for a class pet. They are obviously not huggable or able to be caught by children. Besides, they are inexpensive, have relatively long life spans, and can be kept in a simple fish bowl. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A class pet is a wonderful addition to the class, which can develop children’s responsibility, build a connection and act as a motivator. But many factors need considering when choosing a class pet, including its size, cost, advantages and disadvantages. Birds and reptiles are a poor choice because they are delicate and easy to be harmed by children. A hardy fish can be an ideal class pet, for it’s cheap, long-lived and easy to raise. 【解析】 【分析】 本文属于说明文,介绍班级宠物的优点以及选择班级宠物注意事项。 【详解】本文属于总分结构,首先陈述班级宠物对于学生的意义,比如增加责任感,增进同学联系,促进学生行动等,其次分析了选择班级宠物需要考虑多方面的因素,比如费用,尺寸,优点以及缺点等,之后陈述了鸟类和爬行动物作为班级宠物的不足之处,最后陈述好养的鱼类是比较理想的班级宠物。 【点睛】本篇范文结构严谨,要点齐全,不乏精彩句子表达。 非限制性定语从句的使用class pet is a wonderful addition to the class, which can develop children’s responsibility, build a connection and act as a motivator. 状语从句的使用Birds and reptiles are a poor choice because they are delicate and easy to be harmed by children. - 31 - - 31 - - 31 -查看更多
