专题29 阅读表达、阅读简答（天津）

【2017年高考命题预测】

2009年,天津高考英语卷也采用了阅读表达这一题型。这种题型以阅读理解为基础,要求考生在读懂文章的基础上,用规定的词数简要地回答有关问题;考查考生的英语表达能力和概括能力,比传统的阅读理解题型更具综合性和主观性,更能体现对考生的综合语言运用能力的考查。所选用的阅读材料题材、文体与传统的阅读理解短文没有太大的区别,多以故事和说明文为主,长度一般为300词左右,结构清晰,通俗易懂。

在问题设置上，阅读表达题一般设有五个小题(每小题2分),阅读简答题则一般设有三个小题(每小题2分)。在形式上,阅读表达题相对丰富些,有填空和问题简答等,而阅读简答题则主要以问题简答为主。考查的方向基本上可分为四大类:一是词汇语义类,要求考生从文中找到一个与所给生词或短语意义最接近的替换词,考查学生联系上下文理解词义的能力;二是细节查找类,针对文章某细节内容提问,要求考生用规定的词数回答问题;三是主旨大意类,针对文章主旨提问,考查考生对文章中心思想或作者态度、观点等的把握;四是考生个人观点类,问考生读完文章后对文中故事或人物的看法。

总之,这种题型将答题主观性与客观性相结合,突出思维的开放性,给考生提供广阔的思维空间,能全面、客观地考查考生“读、写、思”等方面的能力。 【考点定位】2017考纲解读和近几年考点分布

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

I'm a 34-year-old man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.

My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express

4

myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.

I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.

Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practised reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I__was__literate．

Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.

56．What made the author's school days difficult? (No more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 57．Why did art give the author confidence?

Six days a week, up and down the red hills of north-east Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community.

On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for—good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy.

“Thank you for your nice words，” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made.”

“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back

6

years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can't figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It's the journey, not the arrival, that counts.”

The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”

Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my_grandfather_is_still_on_that_long_road,_climbing.

56. What was the author's grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words)

57. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 58. What is the grandfather's view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words)

59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)

60. Do you agree with the grandfather's view on life? Give reasons in your own words. (no more than 20 words)

细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down.”可知答案。

58. The process is more important than the result. Or: A man should not slow down however old he is.

7

Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made./It's the journey, not the arrival, that counts.

细节理解题。根据第三段的“Life isn't having it made；it's getting it made.”和第四段的“It's the journey, not the arrival, that counts.”可知祖父认为过程比结果重要。

59. My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things. Or: The grandfather is still living an active life.

Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do. 句意理解题。综合上文内容可知祖父一直在坚持做有意义的事情。

60. Yes. One should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is. Or: People should make full use of their time to do something meaningful.

No.It is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age. Or: Slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age. 观点态度题。可适当发挥，叙述合理即可。

2014年高考试题

[2014·天津卷] 阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into braille(盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.

After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.

Low's mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her. Then“hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber(转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.

The job was strenuous—she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading(校对) at the CNIB's word factory.

8

In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80，000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “ I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris' contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years—and she is still doing so，” said a CNIB official.

“For me，” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three things matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I've found them all here.”

56. What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? (no more than 10 words) 57. Why did Low learn braille? (no more than 15 words)

58. What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean？(1 word) 59. What are Low's contributions to the CNIB? (no more than 15 words) 60. What do you think of Low? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words)

【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Doris Low从年轻时就成为一名志愿者为那些听力有问题的人读书，将书中的内容转在磁带上，还作为转译者将普通的书译成布拉耶文(即盲文)。现年她已经90岁了，依旧在做志愿工作。

56. She helps transform literature into braille (for blind readers/the blind). 根据第一段中的“…where she helps transform literature into braille…”可知，Doris Low在90岁时依旧在帮忙把文学作品翻译成盲文。

57. (Because) her mother's eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement. 根据第三段中的“As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her…，‘hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.’”可知Low学盲文是因为她母亲的视力下降，而且正好听到了一则鼓励人们学盲文的广告。

58. Difficult/Hard/Tiring/Tough. 根据画线单词后的内容“…she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again.”可知将书译成盲文是非常难的，故用difficult/hard/tiring/though等词汇。

59. She has brailled and proofread hundreds of books, and read books onto tape.根据倒数第二段中的“…the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.”可知contributions后面的内容都是Low作出的贡献。重点的贡献就是“…through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy

9

in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread…”将句子进行整合就构成本题的答案。

【2013天津卷】阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity.

I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”

Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.

On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.

Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.

People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

【文章大意】这篇文章介绍了作者为什么给火星探测器命名为Curiosity：因为好奇才会进步、发展。 56. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) [答案]By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine

57. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words)

[答案]She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover.

[解析]题干中的关键信息“a front-row seat in NASA”告诉我们答案可能在第四段，第四段中有一个“the rover named Curiosity”再结合第二段中的“Curiosity is an…”的句子，我们就能得出正确答案了。 [考点定位]考查细节理解能力。一般根据题干中的关键信息去定位答案，然后根据文章的意思就能很快的找到答案。

58. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) [答案]She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars.

[解析]关键信息“the time spent with Grandma”说明答案应该出现在倒数第2段：I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. 学生在组织语言的时候要把人物和事件都概括进来。 [考点定位]考查细节理解能力。学生在组织语言时必须把人物和事件概括好。 59. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) [答案]Stay/Remain/Live/Hide

[考点定位] 考查推测生词的能力。一定要把握好语境，有时要考虑搭配。 60. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words)

11

[答案]Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge.

[解析] 这是一个开放性的问题，理解了原文之后，就比较容易回答了。但是，回答时一定不要偏离了文章的中心。文章多次提到curiosity或curious，我们要对除了专有名词之外的地方进行概括提炼，揣摩作者的意思。

[考点定位] 考查学生概括能力和组织语言能力。对出现关键词的对方要进行归纳总结，在揣摩了作者的意图之后，组织语言。

[2012·天津卷]

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.

Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.

When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things—travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

58．She swam a ten-mile marathon and set the women's record./She swam a ten-mile marathon, setting the women's record./She set the women's record for a ten-mile marathon swimming.

60．I am encouraged by her determination and strong will./I am inspired by her courage and strong desire to succeed./From her I learned that once we set a goal, we should try hard to achieve it./We should never give up in the face of difficulty/failure./We should never stop trying new things and we may achieve success in different fields.

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely lame and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on, nor did he say anything about it.

It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps—his pausing, my impatience—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the

13

pace, I will try to adjust to you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, NY, on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

When I think of it now, I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

My father has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about incident, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”

56. What wouldn’t the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

57. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “let on” in the first paragraph? (No more than

5 words)

________________________________________________________________________

58. According to the third paragraph, what conclusion can you get about the father’s attitude

toward his work? (No more than 8 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

59. Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a “good heart”. (No

more than10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________ 60. What does the author learn from his father? (No more than 15 words)

_________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】

56.His father was crippled and couldn’t keep balance 57.Showed his feelings/Toldothers his feelings

58.He loved his work/ He took his work seriously./He was strict in his work

59.He subjected himself to indignity and stress./He never talked about himself as an object of pity/He didn’t show any envy of the more fortunate or able. 60.To be a man with a good heart 【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了作者对自己生有残疾却从不怨天尤人保持一颗“善良的心”的父亲的怀念和对自己年轻时羞于与父亲在一起的悔恨

56.His father was crippled and couldn’t keep balance 考查细节理解题。根据第一段提到When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely lame and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare.当我在长大时，我提到父亲很尴尬，他是瘸的，很矮，当我们一起走路时，他的手挎着我的胳膊来保持平衡，人们会瞪着眼睛看，故His father was crippled and couldn’t keep balance

57.Showed his feelings/Toldothers his feelings 考查细节理解题。根据第一段提到If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on, nor did he say anything about it如果他注意到或被打扰，他不能表达自己的感觉，也不会说什么。

58.He loved his work/ He took his work seriously./He was strict in his work 考查细节理解题。根据第三段提到He went to work sick, and despite bad weather. He almost never missed a day他

When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life．My spirit sank．Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself．There were some complex feelings in my minds．I was frightened, nervous and lonely．

To make matters worse, I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me than I could bear．As a result, I was always feeling down during class time．

My teacher found me spiritless．One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life: we might suffer from mistakes, but it’s important to learn lessons from them．All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process．So keep up your spirit! At last, he added, “If you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!”

Warmth rushed through my soul．I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office．

With the teacher’s help, I eventually got over my depression．From then on, I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates．I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time．Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates．

Now faced with fierce competition, we all study hard because we know that every second counts．Moreover, there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us．I love my class; I love my classmates!

To be frank, I still have a thirst for my dream university, but I’m not afraid of failure

【天津市和平区2016届高三第二次模拟】阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

A young lady was standing on the corner with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. Several people passed by, looked at her but did not stop. I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.

As I crossed the street and came closer to her I asked if she wanted help. She thanked me and smiled in relief. As it turned out she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out, and taking that extra moment to help.

Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience. Many years ago, we travelled in Japan and needed directions. A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English. Although we could not communicate through words, we communicated through the heart.

Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger, the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them. But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help, they will be willing to reach out as well.

Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet

19

and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”

So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.

After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. It's safe to say that this is a book for teens that they'll enjoy. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All about Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I was stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn’t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”

In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when people tell you that you can’t do it, because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”

56.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? (within 10 words)

Rock climbing requires not only physical strength, but also complete mental concentration. So it is not an easy sport. But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian. This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.

The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended brother’s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.

21

Soon after, she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia and began climbing— first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. At the age of nine, she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn’t even been aware of, until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine. Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the gym—climbing real mountains.

As a youngster, she dominated the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010. Then she went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough. And in 2011, at just 18 years old, she was crowned(加冕)Female Overall World Champion in Arco, Italy at her first attempt.

Sasha diGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical. The 5.14d graded climb is regarded as the most difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to take on, because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death. 71. What does the underlined word “dominating” (Paragraph 1) mean? (1 word)

_________________________________________________________________

72. Where and when did Sasha diGuilian find she had the talent for rock climbing? (No more than 12 words)

_________________________________________________________________

73. What made Sasha diGuilian begin training seriously to climb real mountains? (No more than

10 words)

_________________________________________________________________ 74. Why is the 5.14d graded climb considered the most difficult climb? (No more than 7 words)

_________________________________________________________________

75. Please explain how you are inspired by Sasha diGuilian.(No more than25 words) ___________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________ 【答案】

71.Controlling\\ Ruling

72.At a local rock climbing gym at the age of seven 73.Her competitive nature and love for rock climbing

22

74.Because it involves climbing vertical rocks

75. I am inspired by her spirits of bravery and determination

73.Her competitive nature and love for rock climbing考查上下文联系。根据文中，At the age of nine, she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn’t even been aware of, until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine，可知她是为了想要去攀爬真正的山，故填Her competitive nature and love for rock climbing。

74.Because it involves climbing vertical rocks考查上下文联系。根据文中Sasha diGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical，可知因为山体是很垂直的，所以很难攀爬，很危险，故填Because it involves climbing vertical rocks。

75. I am inspired by her spirits of bravery and determination考查上下文联系。根据上下文内容分析可知，主人公是一位很勇敢的女孩，所以我也为此受到激励，故填I am inspired by her spirits of bravery and determination。

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Big storms. High waves. Technical failures. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.

Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July.

The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different

23

directions. Mike insisted they were not rival. “No. It’s two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a life time.” he said.

Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.

On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.

“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said.

“It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no’.” At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.

Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. “You’ve got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said.

56.Which canal did Mike Perham cross? （No more than 3 words）

57.What does the underlined word “taste” in the fifth paragraph mean? （1 word） 58.What did Mike believe in? （No more than 10 words）

59.What’s the main idea of the passage? （No more than 15 words）

60.What do you think of Mike Perham? （No more than 10 words）

【答案】

56.The Panama Canal. 57.Experience.

58.Having confidence in yourself will make you successful.

59.How a British teenager succeeded in sailing solo around the world as the youngest person. 60.Open.

24

57.Experience. 考查词义猜测能力。根据第五段“That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.”可知，穿越大西洋的航行，给Mike的这次航行积累了经验。故填Experience.

58.Having confidence in yourself will make you successful. 考查细节理解能力。根据最后一句“You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it.”可知，你需要有充分的自信，相信自己能成功。故填Having confidence in yourselves will make you successful.

Workplace wellness is a serious issue. With terms like \and \becoming household words, organizations are increasingly looking for ways to keep their workforce happy, healthy and productive.

Up to now, most organizations tended to devalue the idea of laughter at work, seeing it as a distraction from getting the \job done. This attitude is also reinforced by the work ethic many of us were raised with: \worthwhile if you have to suffer for it.\

However, we're starting to realize that all of this suffering is killing us. Not only that, but we're finding that it's actually counter-productive to the bottom-line results so sought after in this time of change and downsizing.

And amazingly enough, this is confirmed by scientific research. A recent study conducted at Canadian financial institutions found that managers who developed the highest level of employee performance used humor the most often.

25

The scientific data is also proving that laughter is a complete part of physical wellness. Dr. William Fry of Stanford University found that laughing 200 times burns off the same amount of calories as 10 minutes on a rowing machine. Another study found that after a bout of (一阵子)laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began. Laughter also oxygenates(氧化)your blood, thereby increasing energy level, relaxes your muscles and works out all your major internal systems.

______________, researchers are discovering that laughter also affects the immune system. According to Dr. Lee Berk of the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California, laughing makes it grow stronger, with the body's T-cells, natural killer cells and antibodies all showing signs of increased activity.

56.What does the passage mainly tell us ? (Please answer within 8 words)

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 57.Translate the underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph into Chinese.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence or phrase. (within 3 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 59.Which of the sentences in the passage can be replaced by the following one ?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was found in another study that if you have laughed for a short period time, your blood pressure will come to a lower, healthier level than before you begin to laugh.

60.What good effects will laghter have on workplace wellness? (Please answer within 35 words) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】

56.The way to keep workplace wellness/. A Lighter Approach to Workplace Wellness

57.一个最近在加拿大财政机构所做的研究表明：使员工发挥最佳水平的是那些经常使用幽默的负责人。

26

58.What’s more/In addition/Apart from that

59. Another study found that after a bout of laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began.

60. Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system.

57.一个最近在加拿大财政机构所做的研究表明：使员工发挥最佳水平的是那些经常使用幽默的负责人。“A recent study conducted at Canadian financial institutions found that managers who developed the highest level of employee performance used humor the most often.”conduct意思是研究，所以整句话可以翻译成一个最近在加拿大财政机构所做的研究表明：使员工发挥最佳水平的是那些经常使用幽默的负责人。

58.What’s more/In addition/Apart from that推理判断题。根据横线后一句话“researchers are discovering that laughter also affects the immune system.”可以知道这一段讲的是研究发现大笑还能影响人的免疫系统，属于研究的另一个发现，所以横线上要填表示递进关系的短语，而且是在三个单词以内，What’s more/In addition/Apart from that都表示而且、另外的意思。故填What’s more/In addition/Apart from that。

59. Another study found that after a bout of laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began句意理解题。“It was found in another study that if you have laughed for a short period time, your blood pressure will come to a lower, healthier level than before you begin to laugh.”意思是另一个研究发现如果你大笑一会儿的话，你的血压会降到一个比你大笑之前更健康的水平。第五段第三句话“Another study found that after a bout of (一阵子)laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began.”正是此意。

27

60. Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system列举概括题。本题要求概括工作时大声笑的好处，纵观全文，可以概括出Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system这六点。 【考点】：考察说明类文章的阅读。

Sometimes “ love” can be the hardest word, especially when it comes to saying it to our

parents. But a new video campaign named Tell Them Now has launched to get people to show true emotions to their fathers on Father’s Day. Echo, who came up with the idea, said: “ We wanted to bring fathers and their kids face to face with each other. Many people don’t feel they express their love well enough to the people close to them. ”

In total, around a dozen children and their fathers were asked to take part in Echo’s short

video. During the short film, a woman gets emotional as she speaks to her elderly father, who almost dies. “Dad I’m grateful, because we don’t know how long you are going to be with us,” she says. Meanwhile, a teenage girl considers how her views about her father will change in the future once she’s fled the nest. “ At the time when I’m graduating and leaving, it’s really going to hit me,” she says before giving her father a big hug.

But it’s not just children showing the love. Parents also take time to say why their children

make them proud. One father clearly finds it a difficult task when he’s put on the spot. “ I’ve always been impressed by you. You made parenting easy.” Another man states how fatherhood helped him to seek help for alcoholism. “ Thank you”, he tells his son during the public heart –to-heart scene.

30

Echo hopes the campaign will encourage viewers to pick up the phone, and get the “L” word

out to the fathers----“Tell him why you’re grateful; tell him why you’re proud. He might just do the same”.

71. To get people to show true emotions to their fathers on Father’s Day. 72. Grateful feelings/ Gratefulness. 73. Why their children make them proud. 74. Tell their fathers they love them .

75. (Open )I’ll give him a hug, telling him I love him very much and I’m grateful to have him in my life.

72. Grateful feelings/ Gratefulness.细节理解题。根据第二段第三行Dad I’m grateful爸爸，谢谢您，可知这位妇女向父亲表达了感激之情。故填Grateful feelings/ Gratefulness。

73. Why their children make them proud.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句Parents also take time to say why their children make them proud家长们也讲述了他们为什么以孩子为骄傲。可知，父亲们被问到为什么以孩子为荣？故填Why their children make them proud。

74. Tell their fathers they love them词义猜测题。根据下句“Tell him why you’re grateful; tell him why you’re proud.告诉父亲你为什么感谢他，告诉父亲你为什么骄傲。可知，艾科鼓励人们拿起电

[1] If you are applying for an American higher education, you probably dream of getting into an Ivy League （常青藤联盟） university．The eight schools with the best reputations attract top students from the United States and many other countries． However, on average, the Ivy League schools accept less than 15 percent of applicants．And with the applicants growing in size year on year, it is becoming more and more difficult _________．

[2] So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?

[3]Having a high school grade point average （GPA） in the top 10 percent of your class and

being ranked among the top few students dramatically betters your chances．But although GPA and SAT scores are important, they only tell admission deans（主任） part of the story．

[4] The whole admissions process will single out （挑选出） from a large pool of academically

strong applicants the unique individuals．They stand out because they have shown in their interviews a range of virtues （优点） expected of these universities．Take Harvard for example．Although there is no guarantee of admission, the school judges applicants based on 15 additional criteria．

[5] Intellectual curiosity （求知欲） comes first tor almost all admission deans．Schools look to such

students because they believe their peers find them stimulating（激励人的）inside and outside the classroom．

[6] Leadership also weighs heavily．The school would rather see an applicant who takes on

additional responsibility in one or two areas where he or she is good at, rather than one who is merely \．This can mean the class presidency（主席职务）, leading the cheerleading team or being the officer of a student union．

[7] Whether a person has personal warmth and cares about others counts a lot with the admission

deans．Writing an essay on a personal experience, like a summer spent raising funds for the earthquake victims or teaching in a local school, can show that a person has qualities in addition to academic experience．

写作意图题：从第二段的句子：So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?可知作者是想告诉读者怎样申请进入常青藤大学，答案是To tell applicants how to get into an ivy / To introduce the criteria by which an ivy admits students / To show applicants how to give themselves the best chance of admission to an ivy

When I was in primary school, I got into an argument with a boy in my class．I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day．

I was convinced that \I was wrong and \was right．The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson．She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other．

In the middle of her desk was a large, round object．I could clearly see that it was black She asked the boy what color the object was．\．

I couldn't believe he said the object was white, for it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate anytime, this time about the color of the object．

The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy had been standing and told him to come to stand where I had been．We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was．I had to answer, \．\It was an object with two differently-colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white．Only from my side was it black

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other persons' shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective（观点）．

See things from others’ viewpoints.主旨大意题。文章是总分总结构，首段总述自己得到一教训，第二至第五段讲了自己与同班同学争论，老师用两面不同颜色的物体让我明白道理的过程，第六段作者的感悟：站在别人的位置去看问题，去理解别人的观点。概括即如下：See things from others’ viewpoints . Believed.词义理解题。下文第四段句子“I couldn't believe he said the object was white”讲到“我不相信我同学说这物体是白色的”与句子“I was convinced that \表述的是相反的意思，所以“was convinced”意思为“believed”。

The color of the object.细节题。从题干“the teacher, ask”可把答案定位于第五段，句子“…she asked me what the color of the object was．”明确指出了老师所问的问题：the color of the object。

Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

Not long ago, people thought babies were notable to learn things until they were five or six months old．Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life．

Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment．They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes．A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver．This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings．

One study shows that babies can learn before they are born．The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman．Then, they played a recording of a short story．On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother．They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby．

The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way．If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story．The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born．They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again．

Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children．

Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years．The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers．The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily．They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old．Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression．

The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression．The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear．

These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people．The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children．Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered

39

from depression．

What does the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories prove? （no more than 5 words）

In the passage, what factors are mentioned that influence intelligence development in babies? （no more than 8 words）

Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills? （no more than 11 words）

What is the main idea of the passage? （no more than 8 words） 【答案】

Babies can learn before born．

The environment, mother’s sensitivity and education before birth． The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children． Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies． 【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了婴幼儿的智力发育情况，通过两个实验表明：婴儿在生命的第一天就可以开始学习，母亲的情感能强烈地影响孩子的社会发展和语言技巧。影响婴幼儿智力发育的因素有：the environment，education before birth，mother’s sensitivity三个方面。

第三段开头提到One study shows that babies can learn before they are born。然后开始描述讲实验的过程一直到第四段结束。放一个设备在刚出生第一天的婴儿嘴边，嘴朝向一个方向是播放在妈妈肚子时听过的故事，朝向另一面时放不同的故事。结果婴儿会动嘴以便一遍又一遍地听听过的故事。由此判断：新生儿听故事的实验就证明了婴儿在出生之前就会学习。

通读全文可以看到影响婴儿智力发育的三个因素依次提到并详细描述实验的经过。
