第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節，滿分35分)

第一節(共10小題;每小題2.5分，滿分25分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

Pasta and pizza were on everyone’s lunch menu in my native land of Italy. Everyone who had such a lunch was fair-skinned and spoke Italian. A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of me was an array of foods I couldn’t even name in my native language. Fearing that I would pick out something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately, between us stood the barrier of language.

Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the Italian-speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in Italian with people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to be fluent in two languages.

In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to work with a diverse population. In my English to Italian translations, I’ve learned about social programs that I didn’t know existed. This work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity.

1. What did the author realize after entering school in Brooklyn?

A. Time passed quickly. B. English was hard to learn.

C. The food was terrible. D. People were very different.

2. Who does “the little girl” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. An Italian teacher. B. A government official.

CThe author herself. D. The author’s classmate.

3. How did the summer job benefit the author?

A. It strengthened her love for school. B. It helped sharpen her sense of direction.

C. It opened her eyes to the real world. D. It made her childhood dream come true.

B

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests barely the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for both wildlife and local people who may not normally have easy access to nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to prove that the best things in life really do come in small packages.

Tiny forests were first pioneered as a concept in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist. As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins by identifying areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. “We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy”, says Hartley. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature.”

In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or fertilisers (肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of all-native tree species (物種). This variety, coupled with the fact that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than standard forests, means they attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It’s also thought that these places could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the atmosphere and fight climate change, as well as improving the mental health of those living locally.

4. What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?

A. It has achieved notable success. B. It is led by number of schools.

C. It began in Europe in the 1970s. D. It will spread to the countryside.

5. What is the purpose of the project led by Hartley in the UK?

A. To promote eco-tourism. B. To improve forestry research.

C. To popularise gardening. D. To get people close to nature.

6. What is special about the trees in a Tiny Forest?

A. They are small in size. B. They are thickly planted.

C. They are foreign species. D. They are heavily fertilised.

C

Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(適度) also gets results on the job.

In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.

How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情緒) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.

Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”

7. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?

A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B. Translation makes people knowledgeable.

C. Simpler jobs require greater caution. D. Moderate effort produces the best result.

8. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.

A. is good at handling pressure B. works hard to become successful

C. a has a natural talent for his job. D. gets on well with his co-workers

9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.

B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.

C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.

D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.

10What does the text seem to advocate?

A. Middle-of-the-road work habits. B. Balance between work and family.

C. Long-standing cultural traditions. D. Harmony in the work environment.

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____11____

Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____12____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.

Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____13____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.

____14____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____15____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.

A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.

B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.

C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.

D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.

E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.

F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.

G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.

47. 閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。

I needed to do something in my community (社區) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.

I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.

As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting.

I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

【1題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第一段第三四句“A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. (幾年后，當我站在布魯克林一所幼兒園的午餐隊伍里時，我意識到事情不再那么簡單了。我的同學中有皮膚白皙、藍眼睛大的，也有棕色皮膚、深色頭發的)”可知，當作者去了在Brooklyn的一所學校之后，發現學校里的人不一樣。故選D。

【2題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第二段第二三句“For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. (過去的三個夏天，我一直在紐約的一家政府機構工作。新移民涌入我們的辦公室尋求幫助，就像排隊吃午餐的小女孩一樣)”以及第一段第三句“A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. (幾年后，當我站在布魯克林一所幼兒園的午餐隊伍里時，我意識到事情不再那么簡單了)”可知，當年的小女孩長大了，在紐約的一家政府機構工作，工作環境讓她想到當年自己在幼兒園的午餐隊伍排隊的情境。故選C。

【3題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后一段第三四五句“This work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity.

B

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests barely the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for both wildlife and local people who may not normally have easy access to nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to prove that the best things in life really do come in small packages.

As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins by identifying areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. “We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy”, says Hartley. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature.”

In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or fertilisers (肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of all-native tree species (物種). This variety, coupled with the fact that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than standard forests, means they attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It’s also thought that these places could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the atmosphere and fight climate change, as well as improving the mental health of those living locally.

4. What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?

A. It has achieved notable success. B. It is led by number of schools.

C. It began in Europe in the 1970s. D. It will spread to the countryside.

5. What is the purpose of the project led by Hartley in the UK?

A. To promote eco-tourism. B. To improve forestry research.

C. To popularise gardening. D. To get people close to nature.

6. What is special about the trees in a Tiny Forest?

A. They are small in size. B. They are thickly planted.

C. They are foreign species. D. They are heavily fertilised.

【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B

【4題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第二段的“As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.(隨著他繼續與他人分享他的概念，這個想法很快在印度和其他國家流行起來，最終傳到了歐洲，在法國、比利時和荷蘭等地流行起來。)”可知，“小森林”運動取得了顯著的成功。故選A。

【5題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第三段的““We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy”, says Hartley. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature.”(哈特利說:“我們關注的是城市地區，在那里接觸自然往往不那么容易。我們認為這是一個嘗試打破人與自然之間日益疏遠的機會。”)”可知，Hartley在英國領導的這個項目的目的是讓人們接近自然，故選D。

【6題詳解】

細節理解題。根據最后一段的“In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or fertilisers (肥料).(在一個小森林里，必須有至少600棵樹，樹木種植得更緊密，沒有化學品或化肥。)”可知，“小森林”里的樹的特別之處在于它們種得很密。故選B。

C

Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(適度) also gets results on the job.

In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.

How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情緒) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.

Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”

7. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?

A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B. Translation makes people knowledgeable.

C. Simpler jobs require greater caution. D. Moderate effort produces the best result.

8. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.

A. is good at handling pressure B. works hard to become successful

C. a has a natural talent for his job. D. gets on well with his co-workers

9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.

B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.

C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.

D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.

10. What does the text seem to advocate?

A. Middle-of-the-road work habits. B. Balance between work and family.

C. Long-standing cultural traditions. D. Harmony in the work environment.

【答案】7. D 8. B 9. C 10. A

【解析】

【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了許多人認為工作到最大限度是成功的秘訣，但研究發現，適度的工作也會帶來成果。所以要適度工作，工作時要有積極的情緒，這會讓自己在工作中更有效率。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第一段“Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(適度) also gets results on the job.(許多人認為工作到最大限度是成功的秘訣，但研究發現，適度的工作也會帶來成果。)”和第二段中“In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.(在哈佛大學Ellen Langer領導的一項研究中，研究人員要求人們將句子翻譯成一種新的虛構的語言。那些事先適度練習這門語言的受試者比那些全力練習或根本不練習的受試者犯的錯誤要少。)”可知，第一段提出主題，即適度的工作也會帶來成果，接著第二段作者用Ellen Langer的研究來證明這一點，由此可推知，Ellen Langer的研究表明適度的努力會產生最好的結果。故選D。

【8題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據劃線單詞下文“while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office.(而他那些在會議室吃飯時閑聊的同事們則在角落辦公室里得到不屑的目光。)”可知，while前后是對比關系，那些在會議室吃飯時閑聊的同事會得到別人不屑的目光，即被認為不努力工作，相反，那些在辦公桌前吃午飯的年輕銀行家可能被視為是一個努力工作以求成功的人，由此可知，劃線單詞go-getter，指的是那些努力工作以求成功的人，故選B。

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.(此外，許多研究表明，積極的情緒能夠提高生產力和創造力。 )”可知，積極的情緒能夠提高生產力和創造力，由此可推知，愉快的心情有助于創造性思維。故選C。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第一段中“but research has found that moderation(適度) also gets results on the job.(但研究發現，適度的工作也會帶來成果)”和第二段中“High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.(高盡責性與低工作表現有關，尤其是在簡單的工作中，追求完美并不值得。)”可知，文章主要介紹研究表明適度的工作也會帶來成果，所以文章提倡適度工作，即中庸的工作習慣。故選A。

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____11____

Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____12____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.

Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____13____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.

____14____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____15____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.

A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.

B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.

C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.

D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.

E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.

F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.

G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.

47. 閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。

I needed to do something in my community (社區) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.

I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.

As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting.

I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. I wanted to make them know that I was really anxious to help them. To my relief, they smiled politely back at me when they saw my smile, and I could see their exhaustion in their eyes. I wanted to know what they were going through and I was desperate to know what I could do for them. They nodded gratefully as I pushed my spoon into the pot and took a large spoonful and poured it into their bowls.

I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. This experience made me realize that there are so many people in this world who need our help. It also made me realize that our small act of kindness can make them feel warm and make a great difference to them. I will never forget the way they looked at me when they were given food. I am anxious to urge the world to do everything possible to help those in need.

高考英語復習計劃

隨著新年腳步的臨近，本學期的學習已接近尾聲，同學們迎來了一個悠長的假期---寒假。那么，如何充實而快樂地過好每一天一定是大家非常關心的問題。下面就英語的復習給大家一些建議。總的來說，我們要做到：

一、 每天都要學英語

語言和其他學科不同，是需要一個累積的過程。每個星期一次性突擊學習3-4個小時遠不如每天學習半小時的效果好。因此，大家要把英語的復習納入到每天的計劃中去。如果你給英語一個小時的話，你可以把它分成若干個小單元。比如15分鐘算一個單元，然后安排不同的任務。詞匯、語法、聽說、讀寫交替進行。英語要想學好必須掌握兩個功夫，那就是背誦和練習。而這往往需要投入大量的時間，并且不斷反復的進行。

二、 找出薄弱環節，進行強化訓練

在此之前，同學們可以先來做一個試卷分析。結合本學期所有測驗中的失分項目，總結失分的原因，有錯題本的同學可以再翻看一下。查出癥結后，就要對癥下藥了。例如，有的學生語法不好，就應該把學過的語法項目重新學習一遍，并做一些針對性的訓練。如果詞匯量不夠，就應該制定一個計劃，每天背一定量的單詞，并想方設法進行應用以穩固記憶。有的學生做題速度慢，尤其是在做閱讀的時候，往往因為把限時閱讀當成精讀來做，那么除了需要改變閱讀中一些不良習慣外，還應該在規定時間內進行訓練。

三、 借助老師的力量，梳理知識

當我們在學習時遇到困難的時候，最好的辦法就是向他人求教。任何時候不要囤積問題。你可以問同學，也可以向老師求助。今年寒假北京四中網校的網絡面授班的英語課將針對上學期知識的重難點，為學生做詳盡的復習。在課堂上，既能夠聽到老師精辟的講解，又可以借助對話框，音頻，視頻等實現時時互動。建議大家聽課前先結合講課內容做一個小小的熱身訓練，這樣就能更好地提高課堂效率。

四、 多渠道接觸英語，體會語言的魅力

語言的學習絕不僅限于課本。聽一首英文好歌時，留意它的歌詞;看一部好的英文電影時，試圖明白它的臺詞;讀一本英文小說，盡力體會書中人物的或喜或悲。外出時，關注街道上的英文標識。功夫不負有心人，只要你心里想著英語，它就會給你豐厚的回報。
