I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.We often talked about what we learnt in life.Once when we were sitting at the 1 of a swimming pool，she 2 the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me，and said this: You see this water carefully 3 on my hand?It symbolizes love. 4 you keep your hand caringly 5 and allow it to remain there，it will always be there. 6 ，if you attempt to close your 7 around it and try to possess it，it will spill 8 the cracks it finds.This is the greatest 9 that people make when they meet 10 .They fail to handle it well.They try to 11 it，they demand，they expect...and just like the water 12 out of your hand，love will retrieve from you.I wonder if you know love is meant to be 13 ，you cannot change its nature.If we expect too much from the one we love，maybe we’ll be more 14 .Unfortunately，many of the people around us 15 it only when love is gone.

At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered，with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.This meeting would decide his future life，and he obviously knew it. “You may wonder，Sir Percival，”said Laura calmly，“if I am going to ask to be released(免除)from my promise to marry you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father’s wishes too much.” His face relaxed a little，but one of his feet kept beating the carpet. “No，if we are going to withdraw(退出)from our planned marriage，it will be because of your wish，not mine.”

“Mine?”he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing?” “A reason that is very hard to tell you，”she answered.“There is a change in me.” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color.He turned his head to one side. “What change?”he asked，trying to appear calm. “When the promise was made two years ago，”she said，“my love did not belong to anyone.Will you forgive me，Sir Percival，if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?” “I wish you to understand，”Laura continued，“that I will never see this person again，and that if you leave me，you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.” “I will do both those things，”he said.Then he looked at Laura，as if he was waiting to hear more. “I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage，”she added quietly. “No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you，”he said. 1.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura? A.Angry. B.Calm. C.Nervous. D.Excited. 2.We can learn from the passage that . A.Laura had once promised to marry Percival B.Laura’s father wished to end her marriage

C.Percival had been married to Laura for two years D.Percival asked to be released from the marriage 3.The passage is probably taken out of . A.a novel B.a report C.a diary D.an essay 技巧点拨 高考阅读理解之五大常考考点(1) 第一点：开头结尾常考 记叙文开头交代文章的时间、地点、人物关系，结尾往往总结出文章的主旨抑或有几句含金量很高的句子，可以作为推断题、细节题滋生的天然土壤。说明文开头总写，每段第一句话总写该段段意，最后一段下结论，总结全文。议论文开头引出话题抑或提出论点，最后一段总结论点。从中可以看出，无论是记叙文、说明文还是议论文，文章中最重要的段落，往往是开头与结尾，所以对于开头与结尾一定要认真理解，尤其是文章中最后一段的最后一句话。

According to figures，some 80 per cent of children with better than expected reading skills had their own books，compared with just 58 per cent who were below the level expected for their age group.Children as young as 7 are more likely to own a mobile phone than a book，figures show.

2 Almost nine-in-ten pupils now have a mobile compared with fewer than three-quarters who have their own books in the home，it was disclosed.The study by the National Literacy Trust suggested a link between regular access to books outside school and high test scores. 3 Research led by Nevada University，in the United States，said that children coming from a “bookish home” remained in education for around three years longer than young people born into families with empty bookshelves，regardless of parents’ own education，occupation and social class. 4 By ensuring children have access to reading materials in the home and by encouraging children to love reading，families can help them to do well at school and to enjoy opportunities throughout their life.

As part of the latest study，the trust surveyed more than 17，000 schoolchildren aged 7 to 16.It found that 85.5 per cent of pupils had their own mobile phones，compared with 72.6 per cent who had their own books.Among children in Key Stage 2—aged 7 to 11—79.1 per cent had a mobile phone compared with 72.7 per cent who had access to books. 5 A.It fuels fears over a drop in reading.

B.Family encouragement is the essentially important too.

C.Children are more likely to own a mobile phone than a book. D.Reading activities at home have significant positive influences. E.That could increase children’s chances of doing well at school.

F.The findings cause concerns over the effect of modern technology on young people.

G.Children from richer home literacy environments show higher levels of reading knowledge.

话题31 谈话交流

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】作者通过朋友将人们对待手中水的态度和对待爱的态度所做的类比，告诉我们一个听起来简单但需用一生去实践的道理：如果你有爱的人，允许他们自由随意地存在，给予而不指望，建议而不命令，请求而不要求。

1.C 根据常识可知作者和朋友应是坐在游泳池的“边沿，边缘”，edge 符合题意。 2.B 朋友用手掌捧满水，fill意为“充满，装满”，符合题意。

3.D 朋友问：“你仔细看(被盛在)我手里的水了吗？”contain可表此意。include意为“包括”；leave意为“留下”，均不合题意。stay是不及物动词，不能用过去分词表被动。

4.B as long as意为“只要”，符合句意。句意：只要你充满关爱地弯曲着你的手?? 5.C 只有张开手充满关爱地弯曲着手指，水才能不外溢。open 意为“张开”，符合题意。

6.A 根据上下文意思，本处需用表转折的词，however 符合句意。句意：但是，如果你试图把你的手指在它周围合起并试图占有它，它会通过它找到的缝溢出去。 7.B 应是“把手指在它周围合起来”，故用fingers。

8.A 水会通过手指缝溢出，through意为“透过，通过”，符合句意。

9.D 根据下文They fail to handle it well.可知人们在遇到爱时会“犯错”。make mistakes为固定搭配。

10.C 结合第9题可知，人们在遇到爱时会犯错，而不是遇到“水”“生命”或“水池”。love符合句意。 11.D 人们犯的错就是：试图占有、要求、期待??possess意为“占有”，符合句意。

12.A “就像水从手掌中溢出”用spilling。上文也有提示。 “leave” 不用再加 “out of” ，语意也

不合适。blow意为“(风)吹”，pour意为“倾泻”，不合题意。故选A。

13.D 根据本文主题，作者想表达“爱意味着自由随意，你不能改变它的本性”这样的观点，free 意为“自

由的”，符合句意。

14.C disappointed意为“失望的”，符合句意。句意：如果我们对我们爱的人期待过多，也许会更失望。 15.D see可表示“听懂，理解”；recognize 意为“识别出”；think “想，认为”，均不合题意。 realize 意

为“意识到”，符合句意。句意：很不幸，许多人只有当爱不再有时才意识到这一点。 16.B order意为“命令”，符合句意。句意：建议而不命令。

17.D 由句意“可能听起来简单，但这需要一辈子去实践”可知前半句用simple。

18.B 本定语从句主语为that，代替lesson之意，所以谓语动词用take。其他三个词的主语应是人。 19.C 本句要表达“这就是爱的秘诀”，secret符合句意。meaning和point与of搭配。place不合题意。

故选C。

20.B 根据全文，作者要建议我们“你必须对那些你爱的人没有期望，并给予无条件的关爱”，应用

expectations。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一个记叙文片段，记叙了一对青年男女Sir Percival和Laura的见面，主要谈的是Laura是像两年前承诺的那样嫁给Sir Percival，还是会免除婚约。

1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句话“整11点的时候Sir Percival敲门并进来了，脸上满是焦虑和

担心”以及第三段的“他的一只脚不停地踢地毯”及第七段的“他的脸色变得如此苍白，以致嘴唇没了血色”可知，在Sir Percival和Laura的会面过程中Sir Percival一直很紧张，故选C项nervous“紧张的”。A项angry“生气的”在文中没有体现，B项calm“冷静的”以及D项excited“兴奋的”也与文中Sir Percival的表现不符，故排除。

2.A 细节理解题。根据第九段“当两年前作出这一承诺的时候??”可知“Laura曾经答应嫁给Percival”，

故A项正确；根据第二段中“我没有打算要求免除婚约。我非常尊重我父亲的意愿”可知，“Laura

第4 页，共 34页

高考英语专题训练 By LICHO

的父亲希望Laura嫁给Percival，而不是免除婚约”，故排除B项；“Laura只是两年前答应嫁给Percival，而不是已经结婚两年”，故排除C项；再根据全文特别是文章的最后一段“你说了足够多的话使得娶你成为我一生当中最宝贵的愿望”可知“Percival不想免除婚约”，故D项错误。

3.A 推理判断题。这篇文章记叙的是一对青年男女Sir Percival和Laura的见面，符合小说的写作风格，

且既无前因，也无后果，应该是摘自小说的一部分。A项novel“小说”；B项report“报道”，侧重新闻方面；C项diary“日记，日志”，通常以第一人称记叙；D项essay“杂文，小品文，散文，随笔”。 Ⅲ.【语篇解读】研究发现，在科技飞速发展的今天，一个孩子更有可能拥有一部手机而不是一本书。但是一个家庭的书的拥有量的多少很大程度上决定了孩子的在校表现，而父母的鼓励也起到至关重要的作用。 1.C 文章下一段和最后一段都说到了现在的孩子得到一部手机是那么容易，但是书的持有量却低于手机，

这是个引人深思的问题，该项的more likely to own a mobile phone than a book容易引起人们对这个社会现象的关注。

2.A 本段前两句说明的是孩子的手机持有量比书多这一事实，而这引起了人们的担心：那就是孩子的阅

读量一定会随之减少。题中drop和fewer than three-quarters who have their own books吻合。 3.E 该项中的chances of doing well at school 和本段第五句的outside school and high test scores

吻合，说明书的数量的多少对一个孩子的影响的大小。

4.B 该项中的Family encouragement 和下一句中的encouraging children to love reading吻合，说明

家庭鼓励的重要性。

5.F 本段是通过数据说明孩子们拥有手机的数量之大，而这引起了人们对年轻一代在教育上的担忧，该

项中的concerns over the effect of modern technology on young people是对这些数据的总结。 Ⅳ.One possible version:

Dear Sir or Madam，

I am Li Hua，a student from Xin Hua Middle School.I often visit your website.I am very glad to know that you will make a new round of courses and are collecting topics facing the middle school students.As a student，I really want to recommend a topic to you wholeheartedly.It is that we should be thankful.Living in this world，we have many people that we should be thankful to.We should be thankful to our parents because it was them that brought us into this world；we should be thankful to our teachers because they taught us everything we know and we should be thankful to our friends because when we meet difficulties，they always give us a hand.So I can say we live in a grateful world.I hope that the activity will be a great success.

(2012·江西高考A 篇)

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out.”Mark said，“I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It’s an experimental model，”his father had explained，“so don’t touch it under any circumstances.”But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen:“SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes!”Mark cried excitedly，“It’s a computer game.I knew it!Dad’s only been pretending to work.He’s really been playing games instead.”A new message appeared on the screen: “ENTER NAMES VOYAGER 1：... VOYAGER 2：...”

Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED (自动回收程序已启动).”

The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. “I think we’d better shut it off，Mark，”Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.

But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen，the letters changed.

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION (目的地)：MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025.” 1.Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?

A.He wanted to take a voyage. B.He wanted to practice his skill. C.He was so much attracted by it. D.He was eager to do an experiment. 2.Where did the boys’ father most likely work?

A.In an electronic factory. B.In a computer company.

C.In a scientific research center. D.In an information processing center. 3.Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of . A.a computer game B.a company website C.a software producer D.an astronomy program 4.Why did Jason want to shut off the computer? A.He was afraid of being scolded.

B.He didn’t like the loud noise and light. C.He didn’t want to play games any more.

D.He was afraid something dangerous might happen. 5.What happened to the boys at the end of the story? A.They were blown into the air. B.They were sent to another planet. C.They were hidden in the strong light.

D.They were carried away to another country. 技巧点拨 高考阅读理解之五大常考考点(2) 第二点：因果关系常考 一篇文章中出现由because/for/since/so/as a result等引导的表示原因或结果的语句，往往含金量非常高，是出题老师出细节题的最爱。 第三点：转折关系常考 我们在听力中经常听到说话一方要求另一方出去玩，另一方一般回答“I’d love to，but I am busy now.”。显然另一方强调的不是I’d love to而是but I am busy now.。阅读中也是一样，出现but/however/whereas等表示转折的词引导的语句往往成为细节题的出题点。 Ⅲ.七选五

(2012·辽宁沈阳铁路实验中学高三模拟四)

Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer. 1 In the United States，heat exposure led to 8，000 deaths between 1979 and 2003.Luckily，a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day. Know the danger

Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. 2 The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day，creating a potentially deadly situation.Factors such as age，weight or a medical condition can influence people. Drink plenty of water

3 Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool，so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty.A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day，but drink responsibly.Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently. 4

Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing，so air can go around your body and help keep you cool.A hat is a must to help you keep cool，since your head contains many blood vessels(血管)，and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea. Take action

What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?Get up and go.It is a simple piece of advice，but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention.The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler. 5 A.Dress for the occasion B.Weather-related causes C.In hot weather，it is essential to stay hydrated. D.You may miss a little of the action，but it beats missing a lot. E.But when you add sun exposure to the crowds，the results can be deadly. F.It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides. G.Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

话题32 魔幻文学

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】英国一位女士将自己在抵抗心脏病过程中总结出来的一系列健康饮食搭配写成了一本烹饪书，而因为这本书，美国第一夫人邀请她到白宫共同烹制健康食品。

1.D 莎莉被邀去白宫是因为她写了一本烹饪书，第7空所在句后的The Secret Ingredient就是书名。 2.C life-threatening是个合成形容词，从字面意思上也可以看出意思是“威胁生命的，致命的”，long-life

“长寿的”和 lifespan“寿命”不合题意。

3.D suffer“遭受”，就是因为一周内遭受三次心脏病的打击，差点丧命。

4.B 这里是由which引导的一个定语从句，which在从句中作主语，这种情况损害了她心脏主动脉。 5.A 但是这位41岁的母亲不但生存下来而且成功做到了保持健康。manage强调结果成功。 6.C 这套健康饮食里面包含到了本空后面的一些食物来做例子，include只是在列举其中的一部分。

conclude“总结；决定”不合题意。

7.B 本空后面是个书名，而且我们已经知道这是一本关于烹调的书，所以用cookbook。 8.C 既然是关于烹调的书的作者，又被邀往白宫，当然是被第一夫人邀请一起做饭。 9.A 奥巴马夫人之所以邀请莎莉和她一起做饭，说明她也是这个健康食谱的热衷追随者。

10.C 本空的解题线索是第8个空前的invited。因为只是在电话上联系，所以通话的时候发出邀请。 11.D 受如此政要夫人之邀，莎莉当然很激动，这几个都是副词，absolutely“绝对地，完全地”最能表达

出莎莉欣喜若狂的心情。

12.A pick up在这里的意思是“得到；看到”。即莎莉没有想到自己的书会有如此大的影响力，竟然连

奥巴马的夫人也会看这本书。

13.B 所以她认为自己的一切付出都是值得的。worthwhile值得的。valuable“有价值的”，不合题意。 14.C 奥巴马夫人之所以喜欢这本书，在莎莉看来，两人的饮食烹调志趣相投，也就是有相似的看法。 15.D be keen on doing sth.“热衷于做某事”。两人都热衷于提高健康饮食。注意be expert on“在??

方面很娴熟，技艺高超”，但这里莎莉并不是在自夸和吹捧而是表明两人爱好相同。

16.B 本段是莎莉回忆五年前自己在死亡边缘的时刻，当时情况危急，丈夫赶回来以为要说永别。 17.D 此处为丈夫对即将离世的莎莉的表白。

18.A 莎莉回忆自己当时神志清醒但是就是说不出话来。A项和D项是一组反义词，如果神志不清就不

会感受到丈夫在哭和在表达情感了。

19.C 当时的莎莉只有呼吸这一最低的本能要求了。

20.D 当她想到孩子的时候，奇迹般还生，她意识到自己又活过来了，而新的战斗开始了，她终于迎来了

现在的生活。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科幻小说。两兄弟Mark和Jason偷着玩爸爸的实验模型电脑而被带到2025年的火星上。

1.C 细节理解题。 Mark 打开爸爸的电脑完全是受好奇心驱使。由文章第四段的最后一句话“But his

curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.”及第五段的第三句话“But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious.”可知，Mark有强烈的好奇心，换句话说，他受到这台新电脑的强烈吸引。

2.C 推理判断题。由文章第五段的第一句话可知，这是一台他们的爸爸从实验室带回的实验模型电脑。

第10 页，共 34页

高考英语专题训练 By LICHO

所以他们的爸爸很可能在一家科学研究中心工作。

3.A 细节理解题。由第六段的第一句话“‘Yes!’Mark cried excitedly，‘It’s a computer game...’”

可知Mark认为SPACE TRANSPORTER是一款电脑游戏。

4.D 细节理解题。 由倒数第三段的最后一句话“He was really frightened.”可知，Jason 是真的害怕

了——害怕危险的事情会发生。

5.B 细节理解题。 由文章的最后一段可知，电脑的显示屏显示，这兄弟俩被带到了2025年的火星上。 Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明如何避免在观看比赛时强烈的日光所带来的伤害。 1.E 根据后文中的heat exposure led to 8，000 deaths between 1979 and 2003可知，在1979到2003

年间高温暴晒导致8 000人死亡。结果和人们愿意在户外观看体育运动相反，所以连词But是标志词，选E。

2.G 和下文的on a 90-degree day对应，气温为华氏80到90度之间，人体温度达到华氏106到107

度之间，很危险。

3.C 根据本段小标题和下句中的“so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty.”

可知应选C。

4.A 处于小标题的位置，和下一段的内容Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing可知是关于

着装要求的。

5.D 对应小标题，和上一句move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler.

可知，换位置到凉爽的地方，可能会错过一些动作，但是对你的身体的恢复是好的。 Ⅳ.One possible version:

Dear Editor-in-Chief，

Ⅰ.完形填空

Her husband，Pete，had 10 perhaps 20 years ago at a young age， 11 her with deep sorrow and heavy 12 :finding a job and 13 three young children.She and Pete，like Bob and I，had shared one of those 14 ，close，“love-of-your-life-you-can-never-forget” relationships. In her letter she 15 an anecdote about my mother (now long deceased).She wrote，“When Pete died，your dear mother 16 me and said，‘Trudy，I don’t know what to say...so I’ll just say I love you.’”

She closed her letter to me 17 my mother’s words of so long ago，“Bonnie，I don’t know what to say...so I’ll just say I love you.”

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example，

in American culture(文化)the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion(困惑)across cultures.For example，many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places(although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places；some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough.In Southeast Asian cultures， a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions(情感)，but we should not attempt to“read”people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather，there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example，in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends，Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

1.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A.Love. B.Politeness. C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.

2.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can . A.show friendliness to strangers B.be used to hide true feelings C.be used in the wrong places D.show personal habits 3.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A.Learn about their relations with others. B.Understand their cultural backgrounds. C.Find out about their past experience. D.Figure out what they will do next. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A.Cultural Differences B.Smiles and Relationships C.Facial Expressiveness D.Habits and Emotions 技巧点拨 高考阅读理解之五大常考考点(3) 第四点：比较关系常考 这点考生平时注意得很少，但是如果有心，回去看一看考过的卷子就会发现比较关系出现的地方，十之八九都会有考题出现，当然这里的比较关系及包括了比较级也包括了最高级。原因很简单，比较关系涉及几个事物之间的比较，能够很好地说明事物的特征，这样的句子，对于出题老师来说具有很大的诱惑力。 第五点：数字关系常考 文章中的数字，表明时间、特征量间的数量关系，对于说明事物特征具有文字所不能及的作用。 因此很多表示数字、数量关系的地方经常会成为出题点。 Ⅲ.七选五

话题33 人际关系

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】作者丈夫去世，她非常伤心，一个老朋友的安慰使她摆脱了悲痛，而当年这位朋友的丈夫去世时，作者的母亲给了她安慰，这种爱的传递使人们在生活中遇到困境的时候能坚强起来。 1.A 根据名词的并列关系推断，能够跟“信、卡片、鲜花”和“拜访”并列的只有“打电话”，说明人们以各种方式表达对她的安慰。notes当“便条”讲，与前面的“书信”在意义上重复。 2.C 作者丈夫去世当然是“悲痛”，由后面的转折词yet可排除A、B两项。作者的悲痛和亲朋的安慰形成对比关系。

3.D 此处作者表示来自亲朋的爱一下“涌来”，因此用outpouring。arrival一般表示人“到来”，contribution的意思是“贡献”。 4.B 作者不仅收到了来自家人、朋友的安慰，而且连“熟人”也来安慰她。mere用来加强语气，意思是“仅仅的”，其他三项都不能用来修饰“熟人”。 5.D 分析四个选项以及此处的语境，作者表达的意思是其中一条“信息”使作者深受感动。选“故事”“通知”等均不合语境。

6.C 此处表示两人是很多年的好朋友，表示两人从六年级一直到高中毕业都是好朋友。如果选D，from...to...则表示到中学的时候动作已经结束。 7.A 由后面作者的母亲安慰朋友判断，对方一直生活在自己的家乡。若选“工作”，文章没有信息依据。 8.A 两人虽然好多年没有联系，但两个人的友谊又恢复了。选“记忆”“和谐”“状态”都不合语境。 9.A 根据句子的逻辑关系判断，此处表示两人“尽管”已经很多年没有联系，用even if引导让步状语从句。as though“好像，仿佛”，用来引导方式状语从句；in case意思是“以免”，用来引导目的状语从句；if only后面往往跟虚拟语气，表示“要是??该多好”。 10.D 根据后面作者的母亲安慰朋友，以及要承担家庭的重任判断，她的丈夫去世了。其他选项缺乏信息依据。

11.B 此处是动词的习惯用法，表示“留给某人??”用leave sb.with sth.，其他动词无此用法。 12.C 从后面作者要找工作和抚养孩子判断，此处表示作者的朋友要承担繁重的家庭负担或责任。选“担心”“压力”“债务”都与下文信息不符。

13.B 由前面作者朋友的丈夫去世这一信息可知，她要单独抚养孩子，选“教育”“给??食物”“帮助”意义都太片面。

14.C 根据后面“love-of-your-life-you-can-never-forget” relationships可知，作者的朋友与她的丈夫之间的爱情是终生难忘的，即是少有的、亲密的关系。A项显然不是作者要表达的意思；B项意思是“原始的”。

15.D 作者此处表达的意思是朋友把作者母亲所做的事情也告诉了她，也就是“分享”了作者母亲的善举。选“提醒”“通知”都不合逻辑。 16.A 根据语境和常识判断，当西方人要安慰对方时往往会拥抱对方，选“支持”“拍打”“发现”等都不合语境。

17.C 作者的朋友在信中一次又一次提到作者母亲对她所说的话，也就是“重复”，目的是安慰作者。选“记录”“复制”“提到”等都不能表示朋友的良苦用心。 18.B 根据语境判断，作者读了朋友的来信“几乎”能听到母亲的话，这儿仅仅是一种虚景，因此选even，always，still都不合逻辑。

19.A 作者读了朋友的信后感叹这是多好的“安慰”，而不是“鼓励”，因此不选D。 20.D 作者的朋友把这一爱心和安慰又传递了作者，因此用pass sth.on to sb.，其他动词不合搭配和语境。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。面部表情的含义取决于做表情的人所处的文化背景，一个同样的微笑在不同的文化背景下有着不同的含义。那么，我们应该如何正确“解读”来自于不同文化背景下的面部表情呢？

1.C 细节理解题。据第一段第二句“...in American culture(文化) the smile is in general an expression

话题34 音乐鉴赏

Ⅰ. 【语篇解读】 本文介绍了开创摇滚乐先河的著名乐队——披头士乐队，其对于流行音乐的革命性的发展与影响无人可出其右，对于世界范围内摇滚乐的发展作出了巨大的贡献，影响了自60年代以后的数代摇滚乐队的音乐和思想，直接影响了摇滚乐的变革和发展。

1.C 指现在是成年人的青少年，追溯到从前，也就是20世纪60年代，听他们的歌。back 是副词，表示“从前地，追溯到过去年代地”。

2.A 句意：披头士音乐目录的再发行明显把目标对准了那些想亲身发现父母所崇拜的乐队的年轻人。point at意为“指向??”，不合题意。

3.B their parents adored是the pop band的定语从句，adore意为“崇拜，爱慕”。admire意为“赞美，钦佩，羡慕”；dream of意为“梦想，向往”，均不合题意。

4.C 在第三段第一句提到A four-member band，说明这个乐队由四个人组成。

5.B form“组成，组建，形成”，这里我们还可以用set up，found等，但是organize是个及物动词，若用就要使用被动语态形式。

6.D 句意：在流行音乐史上，披头士乐队是获得最大商业成功和备受称赞的乐队之一。强调了该乐队的商业价值。

7.D 说完整体后，在这里强调的是乐队里最有名的成员是这两位。从空后可以看出是两个人名。 8.C cultural意为“文化上的”，和第9空后的culture呼应，因为本句说的是披头士乐队的文化影响。 9.A influence意为“影响”，多指产生久远的烙印；affect是动词，意为“影响”，多指不良影响。 10.B 这里有短语make a list of“罗列”，也就是滚石乐队将100位最伟大的艺术家排名时，句中的数

据说明选list。

11.C Rolling Stone是音乐杂志，披头士乐队又榜上有名，说明他们排名的是史上最伟大的艺术家。 12.D 句中用it来作形式主语，that引导的是真正的主语从句。

13.B 第5空所在句提到披头士乐队成立于1960年，在1970年解散，这里的split和break up呼应。 14.D 这句话是对人们疑惑为什么他们的影响如此深远的回答，本段前两句是一问一答。

15.A 线索在第14空所在句，the first of their kind，也就是因为他们是第一个摇滚乐队，下面的句子也

强调了他们的几个第一。第16空所在句说明C不能选。

16.A 在Barry Miles看来，他们开创了很多先河，而碰巧他们也是最好的，所以影响如此深远。 happen

to do sth.意为“碰巧??”。

17.D 这里as引导了一个非限制性定语从句，as在定语从句里作宾语，意为“这一点”。

18.B 这里talent和gift是同义词，意为“天才，天分”，是在音乐方面超出一般人的能力，所以A项不对，

D项是形容词，而这里需要一个名词。

19.D 这里考查了not only...but (also)...结构，意为“不但??而且??”。 20.C 本段说了四个特别有才华的人在同一个乐队，难怪会创作出如此优秀的音乐。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，是对一本名为 The Snake-Stone的书的介绍。本书的主题是发现自我，描写了James 从寻找自己生母的旅程中懂得了养父母的爱，学会了如何与他人相处以及知道在面对困难时需要毅力和勇气，James 在圆满的结局中发现了自我。

1.C 主旨大意题。由第二段第一句“The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery...”可知，本书的主题是一名青少年在寻找自己生母的旅程中发现了自我。

2.D 细节理解题。第二段中的“...James’ swimming coach says to him...”暗示了James 已经是

第21 页，共 34页

高考英语专题训练 By LICHO

一个具有独立性的年轻人了。

3.B 细节理解题。 由文章第四段第二句“The only clue he has is a fossil...”可知，他的生母留下的唯一的线索就是蛇化石以及与蛇化石放在一起的一张便条。A、C、D三项都与原文意思不符。 4.C 细节理解题。 本题可用排除法解出。A项与本文最后一段中的“As a...also provides its readers with a happy ending.”不符；B项与文章第一段第一句“...but also rural England(the countryside) including remote English villages.”不符；D项与第四段第一句“The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London...”不符。

5.A 推理判断题。 由全文可知，James通过寻找生母的旅程发现了自我，所以这次旅程是值得的、有意义的。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文主要说明背诵台词对于演员来说是一项基本功，而且这里面也有些窍门。

1.C 由上下文可知，对于背台词，演员就得反复记忆，就大部分演员来讲，没有捷径可走。故C项是正确选项。

2.F 由上下文可知，没有经验的演员在彩排的过程中，只是盯着对方，等着说自己下面的台词；相反，演员要做到全身心地投入到剧情当中去。故选F项。

3.D 有些演员喜欢把自己和其他演员的台词录下来，然后不但自己认真听，而且还要背诵所有的台词。故选D项。

4.B 由下文的stage fright(怯场)，forget lines，don’t freeze以及Keep the scene going to the best of your ability.可知，演员一旦出现怯场、忘台词等情况，要坚信自己，不要惊慌。故选B项。

5.G 由下文的Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.可知，对于演员这次忘掉的台词，可能以后再也忘不了了。所以G项适合本空。 Ⅳ.One possible version:

Dear Miss Kate，

Last weekend，I together with many students joined in a meaningful activity in which all of us provided many services voluntarily for Dongfang Community.

First we went to some main streets and helped people do a thorough cleaning.And then we went to the sports center，where different sports facilities needed polishing.When the cleaning work was done，the community looked really neat and tidy.Besides，we put on many wonderful and interesting programs for the people，which brought them laughter and happiness.And the most important，we also publicized much knowledge of traffic safety and popular science.

Tired as we were，we felt happy as all of our work paid off.As to me，I won’t forget the day because of its great value for my growth.

Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2012·湖北高考D篇)

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently？One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family.The firstborn is， for a while，an only child，and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later.The next child is，for a while，the youngest，until the situation is changed by a new arrival.The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too.One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years；another might be raised in a family crisis， with a disappointed mother or an angry father. Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918.But more recently，researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives.Dr.Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings.The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents.But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development.Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents，but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters，learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.

A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially.Love-hate relationships were common among the children.Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.

One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings， particularly if they are close in age.Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third.Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters.A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years，finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.

1.The underlined part “in a different family”(in Para.1) means “ ”. A.in a different family environment C.in different family crises

B.in a different family tradition D.in different families

B.learn a lot from their elder siblings D.pick up words more quickly

2.In terms of language development，later-borns . A.get their parents’ individual guidance C.experience a lot of difficulties

3.What was found about fights among siblings？ A.Siblings hated fighting and loved playing. B.Siblings in some families fought frequently. C.Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships. D.Siblings learned to get on together from fights. 4.The word “feminine” (in Para.4) means “ ”. A.having qualities of parents

技巧点拨 高考阅读理解失分原因大盘点(2) 三、基础知识掌握不牢固。 阅读理解能力的测试不仅考查考生的阅读理解能力，还要求考生具有一定的语言知识、语法基础、文化常识和词汇量及词义辨识能力。基础知识不牢固导致在解题的过程中出现：1.未准确理解题干中的要求，如有些题干中会提出“What’s the most magnificent...？”的问题，文章从几个层面叙述这个方面的内容，如原因、区别、因素等。但在叙述过程中，它是有轻重之分的。读题时未注意到“最”，只看到文章内容的某一部分就开始答题，以致答错。又如题干“What’s probably discussed above the passage?”意为“文章前很有可能讨论什么内容？”，可许多叙述却把题干中的above the passage误解为the passage above，以为是问本段文章讨论什么内容，结果导致了错误。在阅读理解题目中，有些选项相近却不相同，考生常常因为不能区分这些选项的差别而失分。还有些因为不了解西方文化背景和思维方式而理解错误。可见，牢固的基础知识也是做好阅读理解不可或缺的因素。 Ⅲ.七选五

Paying forward a little bicycle

A couple of weeks back，my friend had a yard sale，and she offered to sell some of our stuff for us.I thought it would be a good opportunity to clean my seven-year-old son’s room and get rid of some toys that he had long outgrown. 1 The night before the sale，we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that he was now too tall for.He had taken the bike for a final spin before we left home but happily put it on the truck for the sale. 2 It was not in the best shape and it certainly was not shiny new but it was still a bike，and the tires were still good.

3 So，after the sale was over，my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that said “FREE BIKE”.Within five minutes her doorbell rang.A little boy was standing there.His English was not very good but he asked if the sign was right...was the price of the bike really free?She said yes，she said that he could have it for nothing. 4 Later that evening when I told my son about the little boy that he got the bike for free. 5 He was so thrilled to hear that someone else would get good use out of that little bike.The bike was given to us，so in this way，I guess we got to pay it forward! A.We put a price of ＄10 on it but it didn’t sell. B.All passers-by thought it was too expensive. C.He smiled，jumped on the bike and rode away. D.The smile on my son’s face was truly priceless. E.This little bike had had at least two previous owners. F.He laughed at me as if I was the biggest fool in the world. G.We agreed that whatever we sold in toys would be his money.

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文讲述了VOA(美国之音)电台的开办、发展的一些过程，重点说明了它的办台宗旨。 1.C 二战期间，德国做广播节目的初衷应是呼吁国际“支持(support)”，而不可能是其他三项。 2.B 由with words可以想到answer“答复，回答”。reply后接宾语时要加to。 3.D 要回复德国电台，得用“德文”(German)来播，这样德国人能听懂。 4.A 由前文第3空所在的句子可知播出的是news report。

5.C 播音的主体当然是announcers(播音员)了。officials“官员”，不符合语境。

6.C 通过第一段我们可知，VOA电台成立之初的目标主要是对二战中的一些敌对国家进行宣传，随着二战结束，敌对国家有所改变，那么广播的目的(purpose)与对象也应随之而改变。

7.C considering“考虑到??”，considering the Soviet Union became enemy of America做前一句some Americans felt VOA’s 6 had to be changed的原因状语，表示改变广播目的的原因。 8.A reach此处意为“引起??的注意”。句意：他们想引起苏联听众的注意。

9.C “Music USA”应该是一个专有名词，是一个事物的名称；something new应该是被叫做 “Music USA”。 10.D 根据下文第11空所在的句子可知，要想完全听懂英文广播，就要对英语很精通。 enough足够的。 11.A 区别于后文提到的it is special English，故此处选common“通常的，普遍的”。 12.A 原来没有的东西，现在有了，故用invent。句意：所以 VOA新创了一种更简单的英语。 13.C 引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a simpler kind of English，指物，应用which。

14.A 根据上文a simpler kind of English可知，这种新型英语要更简单，所以选择slowly，指速度要更

“慢”。

15.C in the opinion of...在??看来。后面叙述的就是看法、观点。 16.B 后面的内容体现了新闻报道的重要性。

17.A flies表达了新闻的及时、快速的特点，其余的词没有这种意思。

18.B major cities指“大城市”。根据常识可排除A、D项；根据around the world可排除C项。 19.A broadcasts新闻广播。由like可知，所选词须与BBC同类。

20.D 由后面的定语从句可以推知，这里指新闻报道的前期“准备”(prepare)工作，包括选材、翻译、录

音等一系列工作。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】这是一篇科普文。本文向我们解释了为什么兄弟姐妹有时会如此不同。

1.A 词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句及以后的解释“第一个出生的孩子，暂时是家里的独生子，因此比那些后来出生的孩子有一段与父母相处的完全不同的经历；第二个孩子出生后，暂时是家里最小的孩子”可知，这里指的是同一个家庭在不同时期的家庭环境，所以选A。

2.B 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句中的...but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters...可知，他们从大哥哥大姐姐那里学习。所以答案为B项。

3.D 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.可知。positive communication是关键词。C项正好与上面的关键句子相反；A、B项文中未提到。

4.B 词义猜测题。最后一段的第一句为主题句，由此可知孩子引起父母注意的一个方式就是使自己与兄弟姐妹们不同。所以，在句子Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by

being more feminine than girls with sisters.中，家中有兄弟的女孩会使自己与男孩不同以引起父母的注意，这就使她们更加有女孩的品质。所以选B项。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】作者本来答应将儿子的自行车义卖后所得的钱归他所有，但是后来这辆车无偿给了另外一个小男孩，作者的儿子却因为能将自行车的用途继续得以延伸而高兴，作者也感受到了爱的传递的力量。 1.G 本句的whatever we sold in toys would be his money 和最后一段第一句的when I told my son about the little boy that he got the bike for free吻合，说明作者决定将这些玩具义卖后的钱归孩子所有。

2.E 本句的at least two previous owners 和文章最后一句的The bike was given to us...吻合，说明这辆车到作者儿子手中的时候就已经不是新车了，这也和主题“爱的传递”一致。

3.A 正是因为本句的it didn’t sell，所以作者的朋友决定将这辆车无偿送人。B项的All passers-by thought it was too expensive.不能说明这辆车卖不出去，所以不能选择B项。

4.C 上一句的she said that he could have it for nothing说明作者的朋友答应了让这个孩子免费拥有这辆自行车，所以他笑着骑上车就走了。

5.D 本句的smile和 truly priceless和下一句的so thrilled to hear说明作者的儿子很欣慰这辆自行车有了新的主人。作者也为儿子的长大感到高兴。而F项的as if I was the biggest fool和本文的主题相悖，有爱心的不只是作者，作者的儿子也一样充满爱心。 Ⅳ.One possible version:

In the English Reading Week，one of my classmates recommended a quote to us，which goes like this:“Your future depends on many things，but mostly on you.”I can’t agree more with this view.It’s true that our future is determined by many things，such as opportunities and help from others，but our own attitude，determination，and hard work play a more important role.In other words，we are the master of our own future.

Take Abraham Lincoln，for example.He was born in a poor family，and only received a limited education in his childhood.Yet through his painstaking efforts，he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America.Even to this day，Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world.Therefore，I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.

高考英语专题训练 By LICHO 高考阅读理解失分原因大盘点(3) 四、阅读习惯不良。 无论是备考训练还是考试过程中，有些学生在做阅读理解试题时习惯于读出声来或心里逐词默读；有些学生读了一部分文字之后又自觉不自觉地“一步三回头”，重复阅读，过多注重语言细节、语法分析；还有一些学生在平时阅读时一遇到生词就立刻停下来查词典。这三种情形都导致阅读速度放慢，效率低下，造成阅读失分。 五、阅读方法不当。 不当的阅读方法有：机械式阅读，不少学生习惯于逐句分析文章，常常不能在规定的时间内做完全部阅读理解题，造成失分；分离式阅读，在阅读中一些学生只注重单个语句的语法分析和含义理解，忽视对语句之间关系和文章总体结构的分析，从而影响了准确率。 Ⅲ.七选五

1

What’s out there?How can you learn all of America’s colleges?How do you find the best match—the best college for you?Big or small，conservative or liberal，private or public?

There are many things to consider.Researches are essential for making a good college decision. 2 Don’t easily believe what others say，such as “Someone told me that Colorado College is too small” and “Someone told me that Michigan is too big.” Every college has something for someone. 3 Just because you have heard the name of a college it does not mean it will be a good place for you.Just because you have not heard the name of a college it doesn’t mean that you will not like it.

4 That means in these colleges you can fit in with the other students，find the level of education you need and feel good on campus.Researching the colleges means finding several colleges where you really want to go.

One quick way to research the colleges is to take a virtual (虚拟的) tour of the college on your computer. 5 Check out the hundreds of colleges on these two websites.When you find one that sounds like a place you would like to be，check out its website and learn more.Make a list of 20 colleges and then choose a short list of 10.

A.There is no college that is wonderful for everyone. B.Here are the two top websites to get you started. C.Get your parents involved in the decision-making process. D.That means collecting information from many sources. E.Colleges are the Same F.You Need the Right College

G.There are many colleges where you will be happy.

话题36 军事历史

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述一个出租车司机就怎样令顾客满意，达到他们的期望，给我上了宝贵的一课。假如是一些给公司行政人员和员工做培训的讲师，可能要收取几千美元的课酬才会传授这等经验，而“我”呢，只花了12美元的出租车费就学到了。

1.B 根据主语motivational speakers可知是他们为这种培训可能会索价(charge)几千美元。 2.C 根据文中出现的A cab driver可知作者是坐出租车(taxi)去旅行。 3.D 根据语境可知作者是去拜访(call on)一位代理商。 4.A 时间是宝贵的，我的计划是包括(include)去机场来一个兜转。contain “含有，盛有”。 5.D 根据语境和接下来的The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me...可知，一个出租车停下来，故选择D项pulled up。pull in 驶进；pull out 驶出；pull over 把车停到一边，均不符合题意。

6.C 根据前半句可推知，made sure I was 6 seated before he closed the door指的是这位司机想的非常周到，在确保我舒服地(comfortably)坐在座位上后为我关上门。 7.A as “一边??一边”。他一边坐在司机的位置，一边为我做接下来的服务。 8.D 根据语境和接下来的He then showed me...可推知，他提出(mentioned)那个在我旁边叠好的杂志是为我准备使用的。mentioned 和showed 是意思相近的两个动作。 9.B 根据本句前面的several tapes可知，他问我喜欢哪种音乐(music)。 10.C 根据下文的音乐的名称“Candid Camera!”可知，我环顾四周在寻找，所以选择looked around 最

合适。look into“调查”；look through“浏览，仔细查看”；look out “小心，向外望”，均不符合题意。 11.B 根据上文的open the passenger door for me和showed me several tapes等等情况可知，这位

司机为我做了很多，所以我对于所获得的这些服务(service)不敢相信。 12.D 根据司机熟练的服务，作者认为很明显(Obviously)这位司机为自己的工作感到自豪。 13.A 根据下一段司机所讲述的事可推知，这里作者想让司机讲述他的故事(story)，这样最合理。 14.B 根据前后语境，此处要表达的是：但是我已经厌倦了这种我怎么努力也达不到(never)别人定下的

目标的生活。 15.B 根据语境可知，我想找到我生活的位置(position)。

16.C 根据上文的... 12 you take great pride in your work.和下文的 feeling like I have done a

full day’s work and done it well可推知，我对于现在的这份充分展示我的能力的工作感到自豪(proud)。

17.A 根据语境可知，上下文是转折关系：我知道我永远不会成为火箭科学家，但我喜欢开车这个服务型

职业。故选择A项最合理。

18.D 本文第一段就提到A cab driver，并且文章多次提到driver，由此可知答案选择D项。 19.A 我敢肯定的一件事，那就是要想使我的工作做好，只要满足乘客的要求就行。for sure 肯定。for fun

为了娱乐；for free 免费地；for good 永久地。 20.C 根据最后一句...I have to exceed the customer’s expectations!可知，答案应选择C项expectations。

meet the expectations of my passengers “满足我乘客的期望”。 Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文为一篇信息材料类的阅读文章，兼有应用文和说明文的特点。文章简单介绍了一个鞋类博物馆各展室展品的基本情况。

1.A 本题考查信息比对。文章第二部分由四则信息组成，分别介绍了三个展室的展品和鞋类图书馆。Room 1属于名人鞋类展室，a famous singer属于a celebrity，故选A项。第一个方框中的“belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors”也是解题信息。 2.A 本题考查信息比对。前三个方框内的信息分别介绍三个不同的展室，这三个展室分别是：名人鞋类展室、特殊用途鞋类展室、造型像鞋类展室。显然，这三个展室都围绕同一主题，故选A项。 3.D 本题考查细节理解。第一个方框中的“Started in the 1950s”说的是该展室创办的时间，而非其中展品的年代，A项错；根据第一个方框首句“The celebrity (名人)footwear section is probably the

第33 页，共 34页

高考英语专题训练 By LICHO

most popular in the entire museum.”可知，Room 1应该是整个博物馆游客最多的地方，B项错；第三展室展出的是造型像鞋的物品，其中的物品丰富，但并未说明此展室比其他两个展室的展品更丰富，C项无依据。根据第四个方框中的“Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.”可知，设计师们和研究者们来此是为了查阅信息资料，故D项正确。

4.C 本题考查写作目的。该文由引言和四则信息组成，引言部分是向游客作综合性介绍，接下来的四则信息分别介绍博物馆的三个展室和一个鞋类图书馆。根据文中的Welcome to...Most visitors...Most of our visitors...可知，作者是推荐该鞋类博物馆，希望更多的人去参观。故选C项。A项和B项只局限于参观The Footwear Library的游客；D项锁定的只是参观Room 1的游客，且展出名人鞋类的目的并非就是为了刺激游客追逐名人。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】选择适合你的大学就是你成功的基石，那么我们应该怎样选择呢？本文提出了一些建议。 1.F 通读全篇可知，这里是对你选择一所正确的学校提出的一些建议，干扰选项E项没有正确概括文章的意思，故答案选F。

2.D 上一句话的researches和本选项句子中的collecting information from many sources吻合，说明研究的重要性。

3.A 虽然本句是在段落中间，却是本文的主题句。本空上一句的Every college has something for someone.和本项形成对应关系，也是辩证关系。说明大学没有最好的，只有最适合你的大学。

4.G 本项的many colleges where you will be happy和下一句的you can fit in with和find the level of education you need是一致的，说明众多的大学中，总有适合你的一所。 5.B 上一句的on your computer说明本句应该说的是通过网络这种媒介你所能享受到的便利和有利条件，为你的选择增加更多的方式和范围。 Ⅳ.One possible version:

Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble

Just as the saying goes:life is not all roses，all of us will need someone else’s help to deal with problems that we encounter in our life.Here comes the question:whom will you turn to for help?Some say they will ask their classmates or friends for help，because they are peers，thus they can understand each other easily. However，others have different choices when in trouble.They are inclined to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties they are faced with.In their opinion，teachers and parents who are much older than them can give them a hand with their rich experience. As for me，close friends are always the people who come to my mind firstly when I’m intrigued by something that cannot be solved by myself.If we cannot figure out a solution by our joint effort，I will go to my teachers or parents for help.With their suggestions or instructions，I can finally find the best way to cope with my troubles.
