And the characteristics also help guide directors towards what is going to be the next big cinematic presentation.‎ The Regulars They are basically amateur movie critics themselves due to the amount of movies they watch. They do not decide more between movies and can generally see two or even three in one sitting. So older people are the regulars due to their plenty of free time they have.‎ The Young Parents Children’s movies are their entertainment of choice, and they tend to choose light-hearted humor ‎ over everything. Usually friendly, this group are great at socializing. As for the movie category for children, directors trust this group as they know what is wanted and expected in the types of movies.‎ The Couple They are quick to get into the cinema and usually buy what is required by the female partner. What is usually a similar theme in their movies is at least a hinting at a love story of some sort. These groups are excellent test subjects for the production of Nicholas Sparks type movies as they feel like their love story is the next big production and thus directors are drawn towards them.‎ The Noisy Teens These types can interrupt a movie countless times. Though they may buy tons of food, they seem somehow not to send the food into their mouths and employees find much food is left on the floor as if a food fight went on during the film. Action and adventure movies come out usually for this crowd because the plot and fast-paced nature of the film usually keep the teens at bay for that time period.‎ ‎36.

They are required to get into the cinema soon.‎ B. Both of them enjoy movies of different themes.‎ C. The female partner often decides what they see.‎ D. They like to judge the quality of the love-story films.‎ ‎38. Which group will probably pay little attention to the subject of the movie?‎ A. The Regulars. B. The Young Parents.‎ C. The Couple. D. The Rowdy Teens.‎ ‎39. What kind of movies most likely attracts the teens?‎ A. Light-hearted humor movies. B. Nicholas Sparks type movies.‎ C. Exciting movies about the war. D. Romantic love-story movies.‎ ‎40. What’s the text mainly about?‎ A. Analysis of movie theater goers.‎ B. Movies for people with different tastes.‎ C. Approaches to attracting audiences.‎ D. The recipe to pick a popular movie.‎ ‎【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. C 40. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了四类电影观众的特征。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中And the characteristics also help guide directors towards what is going to be the next big cinematic presentation.（这些特点也有助于指导导演走向下一个大型的电影展示）可知这篇文章对电影导演最有利。故选B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句They are quick to get into the cinema and usually buy what is required by the female partner.（他们很快就能进入电影院，通常会买女性伴侣要看的电影）可知一对夫妇中，通常是女性伴侣决定他们看到什么。故选C。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中They do not decide more between movies and can generally see two or even three in one sitting.（他们不会在电影之间做更多的选择，通常一次可以看两到三部电影）可知常客可能很少注意电影的主题。故选A。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Action and adventure movies come out usually for this crowd…（动作片和冒险片通常都是为这一人群准备的）分析选项可知关于战争的激动人心的电影最有可能吸引青少年。故选C。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中The movie theater is a fantasy land that takes the dreams of anyone. It attracts groups of different tastes. There are certain characteristics that distinguish these people from one another.（电影院是每个人的梦想之地。它吸引了不同品味的群体。这些人之间有一些特定的特征）以及文章主要内容为分析去看电影的四类人的特征，可知文章主要内容是电影院观众分析。故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)‎ ‎。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。如第五小题，根据第一段中The movie theater is a fantasy land that takes the dreams of anyone. It attracts groups of different tastes. There are certain characteristics that distinguish these people from one another.（电影院是每个人的梦想之地。它吸引了不同品味的群体。这些人之间有一些特定的特征）以及文章主要内容为分析去看电影的四类人的特征，可知文章主要内容是电影院观众分析。故选A。‎ B Allen Cook and his daughter Melissa were renovating(整修) her house, when they found a beautiful, heart-warming love story. “The envelope in the ceiling was old and yellow.

In the letter she was talking about the baby she was going to have,” Allen Cook said.‎ The story began in May 4, 1945, the typed letter was written by a woman named Virginia to her husband, Rolf Christoffersen. At the time, he was a sailor in the Norwegian navy. The envelope was marked “return to sender” and never found its way to her husband. Allen’s daughter used the Internet to find the phone number of someone named Rolf Christoffersen and gave him a call, leading her to his son in Santa Barbara, California.‎ ‎“Someone called me at my office. They just googled my name because I have the same name as my father. Melissa asked me where I grew up and I told her. She told me she had the letter,” Christoffersen’s son, 66 now, said. The younger Christoffersen wasn’t yet born when his mother Virginia wrote the letter, but he said her words were very special to him. His mother, who died six years ago, wrote about her love for her husband.‎ ‎“I love you Rolf, as I love the warm sun, and that is what you are for my life, the sun about which everything else revolves around me,” she wrote. Seventy-two years later, her words were finally heard by her husband. Christoffersen immediately called his father, who is now 96. And read the letter to him over the phone. “I was so surprised after all these years. I was very emotional,” the elder Christoffersen said.‎ The long-lost letter was finally received just before Mother’s Day; it was another tangible connection to Virginia Christoffersen. “It’s Mother’s Day and reading her words reminded me just what a wonderful person she was and how much she loved us” her son said, through tears.‎ ‎41. The envelope found by Allen and his daughter ________.‎ A. was hard to believe for everyone B. told a pretty and touching love story C. told a story about Melissa and her husband D. was written by a man whose wife joined the services ‎42.

His mother, who died six years ago, wrote about her love for her husband.（小Christoffersen的母亲Virginia写这封信时，小Christoffersen还没有出生，但他说母亲的话对他来说很特别。六年前去世的母亲写下了她对丈夫的爱）可以推断，Virginia六年前写信时已经怀孕，所以信中提到的婴儿Virginia可能小Christoffersen大6岁。故选C。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Christoffersen immediately called his father, who is now 96. And read the letter to him over the phone.（Christoffersen立即给他96岁的父亲打了电话。然后在电话里读给他听）可知Christoffersen老人是通过儿子在电话里给他读这封信，知道了信的细节。故选B。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段The long-lost letter was finally received just before Mother’s Day; it was another tangible connection to Virginia Christoffersen. “It’s Mother’s Day and reading her words reminded me just what a wonderful person she was and how much she loved us” her son said, through tears.（那封丢失已久的信终于在母亲节前夕收到了。这是另一种与Virginia Christoffersen的有形联系。“今天是母亲节，读着她的文字让我想起她是一个多么好的人，她是多么爱我们，”她的儿子泪流满面地说）可知小Christoffersen将那封遗失已久的情书看作是母亲节的珍贵礼物。故选D。‎ C In many aspects, nowadays business environment has changed greatly since the late 1980s. The end of the cold war completely altered the very nature of the world’s politics and economics. In just a few short years, globalization has started a variety of trends with profound consequences: the opening of markets, true global competition, widespread deregulation (解除政府对……的控制) of industry,‎ ‎ and an abundance of accessible capital. we have experienced both the benefits and risks of a truly global economy, with both wall street and main street (平民百姓) feeling the pains of economic disorder half a world away.‎ At the same time, we have fully entered the information age, starting breakthroughs in information technology, which have irreversibly altered the ability to conduct business unconstrained by the traditional limitations of time or space. Today, it’s almost impossible to imagine a world without intranets, e-mail, and portable computers. With amazing speed, the internet is profoundly changing the way we work, shop, do business, and communicate.‎ As a consequence, we have truly entered the post-industrial economy. We are rapidly shifting from an economy based on manufacturing and commodities to one that places the greatest value on information, services, support, and distribution. That shift, in turn, attaches great importance to “knowledge workers,” a new class of wealthy, educated, and mobile people who view themselves as free agents in a seller’s market.‎ Beyond the field of information technology, the increasing pace of technological change in virtually every industry has created entirely new business, wiped out others, and produced a great demand for continuous innovation (创新).New product, process, and distribution technologies provide powerful levers for creating competitive value. More companies are learning the importance of destructive technologies-----innovations that hold the potential to make a product line, or even an entire business segment, virtually outdated.‎ Another major trend has been the consumer and business markets. There’s a growing appreciation that superficially similar groups of customers may have very different preferences in terms of what they want to buy and how they want to buy it. Now, new technology makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to identify and serve targeted micro-markets in ways that were physically impossible or prohibitively expensive in the past. Moreover, the trend feeds on itself, a business’s ability to serve sub-markets fuels customers’ appetites for more and more specialized offerings.‎ ‎46. According to the first paragraph, the changes in the business environment in the past decades can be due to __________.‎ A. technological advances B. worldwide economic disorder C. the fierce competition in industry D. the globalization of economy ‎47. What idea does the author want to convey in the second paragraph ?‎ A. The rapid development of information technology has taken businessmen by surprise.‎ B. The internet, intranets, e-mail, and portable computers have entered every corner of the world.‎ C. Information technology has removed the restrictions of time and space in business transactions.‎ D. The way we do business today has brought about startling breakthroughs in information technology.‎ ‎48. If a business wants to boom in the post-industrial economy, ________.‎ A. it has to invest more capital in the training of free agents to operate in a seller’s market B. it should try its best to satisfy the increasing demands of mobile knowledgeable people C. it should not overlook the importance of information, services, support, and distribution D. it has to provide each of its employees with the latest information about the changing market ‎49. In the author’s view, destructive technologies are innovations which _________.‎ A. demand a radical change in providing services B. can eliminate an entire business C. may destroy the potential of a company to make any profit D call for continuous improvement in ways of doing business ‎50. With the consumer and business markets, ________.‎ A. an increasing number of companies have broken down B. manufacturers must focus on one special product to remain competitive in the market C. it is physically impossible and prohibitively expensive to do business in the old way D. businesses have to meet individual customers’ specific needs in order to succeed ‎【答案】46. D 47. C 48. C 49. B 50. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。主要说明了如今商业环境发生了很大的变化，我们已经完全进入了信息时代。同时我们正在经历迅速的经济转变，除了信息技术领域外，几乎每个行业的技术变革步伐都在不断加快，这创造了全新的业务，消灭了其他行业，并产生了对持续创新的巨大需求。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中In just a few short years, globalization has started a variety of trends with profound consequences: the opening of markets, true global competition, widespread deregulation of industry, and an abundance of accessible capital.（在短短的几年时间里，全球化引发了各种各样的趋势，并产生了深远的影响:‎ 市场的开放、真正的全球竞争、对工业的普遍放松管制，以及大量可获得的资本）可知在过去几十年的商业环境中的变化可能是由于经济全球化。故选D。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句At the same time, we have fully entered the information age, starting breakthroughs in information technology, which have irreversibly altered the ability to conduct business unconstrained by the traditional limitations of time or space.（与此同时，我们已经完全进入了信息时代，开始了信息技术的突破，这些技术已经不可逆转地改变了人们不受时间和空间的传统限制进行商业活动的能力）可知作者在第二段想要表达的是信息技术已经消除了商业交易中时间和空间的限制。故选C。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中We are rapidly shifting from an economy based on manufacturing and commodities to one that places the greatest value on information, services, support, and distribution.（我们正在迅速地从以制造业和商品为基础的经济向以信息、服务、支持和分销为最大价值的经济转变）可推知如果一个企业想在后工业经济中蓬勃发展，它不应该忽视信息、服务、支持和分销的重要性。故选C。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中More companies are learning the importance of destructive technologies-----innovations that hold the potential to make a product line, or even an entire business segment, virtually outdated.（越来越多的公司开始认识到破坏性技术的重要性——这些创新有可能使一条产品线、甚至整个业务部门无形中过时）可知在作者看来，破坏性技术是可以消灭整个企业的创新。故选B。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句Moreover, the trend feeds on itself, a business’s ability to serve sub-markets fuels customers’ appetites for more and more specialized offerings.（此外，这种趋势本身，企业服务子市场的能力激发了客户对更多特定化产品的需求）可知在消费者和商业市场中，企业必须满足个人客户的特定需求才能获得成功。故选D。‎ D With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of ‎ murders.‎ The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, which is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.‎ In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.‎ For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely separated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.‎ The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is strengthened by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been carried out only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the state’s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is banned, innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.‎ ‎51. The principal purpose of this passage is to________.‎ A. speak for the majority B. initiate a ban C. criticize the government D. argue for the value of the death penalty ‎52. The author’s response to those who urge the death penalty for all is likely to be________.‎ A. negative B. friendly C. supportive D. neutral ‎53. According to the Paragraph 4, it can be inferred that________.‎ A. the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today B. the ban of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importance C. the second type of murderers should be sentenced to death D. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debated ‎54. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between________.‎ A. the effects of execution and the effects of isolation B. the murder rate and the imposition of the death penalty C. the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty D. executions and murders ‎55. The author’s attitude towards “death penalty” is________.‎ A. opposing B. supporting C. neutral D. not clear ‎【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. B 55. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。主要关于人们对于执行死刑的不同态度。有人认为没有找到充分的证据来证明执行死刑可以减少谋杀案的发生，有人则支持这一法律，认为能给谋杀者带来有效的震慑力，以此保证无辜者的生命。而作者支持后者的观点。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第一段With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.（除了可能存在的权利平等的例外，也许当今美国最具争议的问题是死刑。许多人认为这是对谋杀的有效威慑，而另一些人则认为没有令人信服的证据表明死刑减少了谋杀的数量）以及综合文章可知，作者讨论的核心是死刑的问题，且作者明确地表明了自己支持死刑的态度。即这篇文章的主要目的是论证死刑的价值。故选D。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely ‎ separated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.（因此，谋杀和其他所有犯罪一样，是一个相对程度的问题。有几分令人信服的争议是，第一种情况的罪犯应只是将其与社群隔离，不必遭受第二种情况中谋杀犯的命运）可知作者认为怒而杀人应当只是监禁，不必判死刑，而第二种情况则应该处以死刑。即作者对那些敦促对所有人判处死刑的人的反应可能是反对的。故选A。‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely separated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.（有几分令人信服的争议是，第一种情况的罪犯应只是将其与社群隔离，不必遭受第二种情况中谋杀犯的命运）即因为相对程度不同，怒而杀人应当只是监禁，不必判死刑，而第二种情况的则应该处以死刑。故选C。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中…while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.（而另一些人则坚持认为，没有令人信服的证据表明死刑减少了谋杀的数量）以及第五段中It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers.（死刑能减少谋杀案是有充分的证据）可知文章想要建立死刑的执行和谋杀率的关系。故选B。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil.（在我们看来，死刑是一种必要的罪恶）可知作者认为死刑是一种必要惩罚，即支持死刑的执行。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】隐含意义推理判断题。这类题的题干中常含有：infer，suggest，imply，conclude，intend，purpose，be likely to等标志性词语。解决这类问题时要理解文章潜在的含义和作者所给的提示。同时，要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作出合理的猜测和推断。如第三小题，根据第四段中While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely separated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.（有几分令人信服的争议是，第一种情况的罪犯应只是将其与社群隔离，不必遭受第二种情况中谋杀犯的命运）即因为相对程度不同，怒而杀人应当只是监禁，不必判死刑，而第二种谋杀犯的应该处以死刑。故选C。‎ 第II卷（非选择题）‎ 第三部分：写作 第一节 阅读表达 There was a man named Ken Nwadike who wanted desperately to run this year’s Boston Marathon. But the Boston Marathon is different from most marathons: you have to qualify in order to enter it. Namely, you have to have completed your previous marathon in a certain amount of time, depending on your age category.‎ Well, the man in question was 23 seconds short of the qualifying time he needed in order to enter the marathon. He had a number of options. He could get angry. He could blame someone. He could get depressed. Any of them could easily have led to his turning tail(逃走) and going home, angry or depressed.‎ Instead, Ken Nwadike attended the Boston Marathon in his own way. He made a “ Free Hugs” sign, and with that had a camera on a tripod (三脚架), he gave out hugs and smiles to the runners that passed him by, his way of encouraging and supporting them. From that humble beginning, Ken began his widely acclaimed Free Hugs Campaign, which states its purpose as follows: “continuing the movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the mission of the Free Hugs Project is to spread love, inspire change and raise awareness of social issues.” His campaign, which quickly became a huge success, got the widespread compliments.‎ When things go wrong in our lives, as they do from time to time --- sometimes seemingly all the time --- we have a choice. We need to take a deep breath, judge the situation, and find a positive direction in which we should go. Whether it’s something relatively small, like missing a marathon, or large, like losing a loved one, let Ken’s story inspire you to take that breath, re-orient(重新调整)yourself, and move on to doing something worthwhile with the experience.‎ ‎56. Why couldn’t the man take part in the Boston Marathon at first? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎57 What did Ken Nwadike mainly do during the Boston Marathon? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎58. What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph? (1 word)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎59. What is the aim of Ken Nwadike’s Free Hugs Campaign? (no more than 15 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎60. What do you think of Ken Nwadike from his story? Why? (no more than 25 words)‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】56. Because he didn’t qualify for the marathon. ‎ ‎57. He gave hugs and smiles to the passing runners. ‎ ‎58. Praised./ Complimented. ‎ ‎59. To spread love, inspire change and raise awareness of social issues. ‎ ‎60. He is a man with a positive attitude. Because he attended the Boston Marathon in his own way instead of giving up.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。记叙了因为没有参赛资格的Ken Nwadike通过给路过的选手们拥抱和微笑，来表示鼓励和支持。他的免费拥抱活动广受赞誉，取得了巨大的成功。也启示我们当生活出了问题，我们需要深呼吸，判断形势，找到一个积极的方向。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Well, the man in question was 23 seconds short of the qualifying time he needed in order to enter the marathon.（嗯，这个选手比参加马拉松比赛所需的排位赛时间少了23秒）可知这名男子一开始无法参加波士顿马拉松比赛，因为他没有参加马拉松比赛的资格。故答“Because he didn’t qualify for the marathon.”。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中He made a “ Free Hugs” sign, and with that had a camera on a tripod, he gave out hugs and smiles to the runners that passed him by, his way of encouraging and supporting them.（他做了一个“免费拥抱”的标志，在三脚架上放了一个照相机，他向从他身边跑过的人发出拥抱和微笑，这是他鼓励和支持他们的方式）可知在波士顿马拉松比赛中， Ken Nwadike给了路过的选手们拥抱和微笑。故答“He gave hugs and smiles to the passing runners.”。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据下文His campaign, which quickly became a huge success, got the widespread compliments.可知他的活动很快取得了巨大的成功，受到了广泛的赞扬。可知Ken的免费拥抱活动广受赞誉，故划线单词意思“被称赞的”。故答“Praised./ Complimented.”。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中…the mission of the Free Hugs Project is to spread love, inspire ‎ change and raise awareness of social issues.（免费拥抱项目的使命是传播爱，激发改变，提高社会问题的意识）可知Ken Nwadike的免费拥抱活动的目的是传播爱，激发改变，提高人们对社会问题的认识。故答“To spread love, inspire change and raise awareness of social issues.”。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。可以回答他是一个态度积极的人。因为他没有放弃，而是以自己的方式参加了波士顿马拉松。故答“He is a man with a positive attitude. Because he attended the Boston Marathon in his own way instead of giving up.”。‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎61.假如你是晨光中学学生李津。最近参加了一次读书会活动。现在请用英文介绍此次活动中你和大家分享的一位中国作家：简单介绍该作家，你所读的作品以及你喜欢该作家（或其作品）的原因。‎ 注意： 1.词数不少于100词；‎ ‎2. 开头已给出，不计入总词数；‎ ‎3.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ Recently, I got actively involved in a reading activity.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Recently, I got actively involved in a reading activity.
