2．阅读理解
I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines (疫苗) cause brain damage, and
do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus
(破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣
蛋的) behavior? Late for school? None of them. I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office. The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots
to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would free me from the shots
and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make
up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or
age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make
the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was
the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do. It wasn't special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite
the opposition.
（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year?
A. He was late for school.
B. He didn't behave himself at school.
C. He couldn't hand in his term paper on time.
D. He was hardly ever vaccinated.
（2）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?
A. Annoyed.
B. Grateful.
C. Thrilled.
D. Guilty.
（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story?
A.Listening to your mother pays off.
B.Doing the right thing matters.
C.Keeping fit is the best policy.
D.Asking for advice helps.
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己接种疫苗的经历告诉读者：疫苗不仅保护你自己，而且保护其他人的健康和安全。

接种疫苗很重要，因为如果你不接种，有人可能会死。

这也是作者不顾反对接种疫苗的最大原因。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“The sch ool doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school.”可知，学校的医生会告诉我，我没有接受过任何必要的上学必须要进行的接种。

因此推知，学期初作者被叫到校长办公室是因为他几乎从来没有接种过疫苗。

故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.”不管我妈妈强烈反对，我还是坚持了下来)可知，妈妈对于作者与家庭医生的约会感动恼怒。

故选A。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“I did something every person should do.”我做了每个人都应该做的事情；以及下文“Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated.”疫苗不仅保护你自己，而且保护其他人的健康和安全。

接种疫苗很重要，因为如果你不接种，有人可能会死，可推断，作者通过他的经历告诉我们做正确的事情，对己对人都有好处。

故选B。

4．阅读理解
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they
unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
（1）According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.
A.anxious to do wonders
B.sensitive to others' feelings
C.likely to develop unpleasant habits
D.eager to explore the world around them
（2）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B.To stop complaining all the time.
C.To follow the teacher's advice.
D.To admit mistakes honestly.
（3）The bird watchers' behavior shows that they __________.
A.are very patient in their observation
B.are really fascinated by nature
C.care only about the names of birds
D.question the accuracy of the field guides
（4）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.
B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
（5）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.
A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C.open our mind to new things and ideas
D.try our best to protect nature
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
（5）A

6．阅读理解
WISH YOU WERE MORE CREATIVE?
I want to ask you a favor. I have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use? Now imagine you're an architect. Same question. Now imagine you're Bill Gates. A scuba diver. A medieval knight. You still have the pants. What alternative uses come to mind?
What you just practiced--the conscious act of "wearing" another self-is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential to being creative.
One great irony (讽刺) about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: Either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a discouraged student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, making a comment "I'm very right-brained."
Dr.Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.
He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on one's behavior. The authors, psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into two groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as "eccentric poets" and the other to imagine they were "rigid librarians". The researchers then presented them all with ordinary
objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest.
These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a "product of context and perspective". Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.
Dr. Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he calls psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of "wearing" another self. An actor may employ this technique to get into character, but anyone can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought. Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of "unfocus." This doesn't make us lazy; it makes us human.
Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive. You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about.
（1）What's the function of the questions in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To make a comparison.
C. To state an opinion.
D. To ask a favor.
（2）The study led by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar proves
A. creativity is an individual characteristic
B. librarians are more creative than poets
C. ordinary objects can improve creativity
D. your creativity is determined by yourself
（3）According to Dr. Pillay, Halloweenism works because .
A. it is an act of unconscious focus
B. certain brain areas begin to act together
C. people are in a state of laziness
D. all actors employ this technique
（4）If you want to be more creative, you are supposed to .
A. focus on a specific task
B. believe in your own talent
C. pretend to be someone else
D. turn to be right-brained
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了如何让自己更有创造力，给读者展示了一种心理学理念--心理角色扮演：遇见更有创造力的自己。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段可知作者问读者一条裤子可以有多少种不同的用法?并让读者假设自己是一名建筑师，比尔盖茨，带水肺的潜水员，一个中世纪的骑士等等思考同样的问题；再根据第二段”What you just practiced--the conscious act of "wearing" another self--is an exercise that…is essential to being creative.“可知作者接着说刚才你所练习的--有意识地"穿戴"另一个自我的行为--是一种对保持创造力至关重要的练习。

这说明作者在第一段问这些问题就是为了引出下文中的"创造力"话题，故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第六段”These results suggest that creativity is not an individual
characteristic but a‘product of context and perspective’. Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creativ e person.“可知Denis Dumas 和Kevin Dunbar的研究结果表明创造力不是个体特征，而是"环境和视角的产物"。

每个人都可以有创造力，只要他或她觉得自己是一个有创造力的人。

也就是说一个人的创造力是取决于自己的。

故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第七段中的”According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought.“可知据皮莱博士说，心理万圣节之所以有效，是因为它是一种有意识的分散注意力的行为，当你不专注于某一特定任务或思想时，大脑中一系列区域就起作用。

这说明心理万圣节有效是因为大脑的某些区域大脑协同工作，故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to ‘believe in yourself.’ In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.“可知想象自己处在一个新的环境中，或者是一个全新的身份，你会感到从未有过的高效，你让自己更有创造力。

由此推断所以要变得有创造力的话，要想象自己有一个全新的身份，也就是把自己想象成另外一个人。

故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

7．阅读理解
Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all " game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .
Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it —some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
（1）What are children expected to learn Through playing hide-and-seek?
A.Be a team leader
B.Obey the basic rules

A.Games can describe life in an exciting way
B.Games can turn real-life experiences into a play

D.Games can change people's views of sporting events
（3）According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A.It inspires people's deep love for the country.
B.It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C.It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D.It earns the winners fame and fortune.
（4）What's Iribarne's goal of forming the foundation ?

B.Providing soccer balls for children.
C.Giving poor kids a chance for a better life.
D.Attracting soccer players to help poor kids.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些受欢迎的运动项目和游戏。

有些游戏可以帮助孩子们成长，而全球万众瞩目的奥林匹克运动会关系着整个国家的荣誉。

因此，运动还和我们的生活息息相关。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .”但也许更重要的是，他们把生活转化为令人兴奋的戏剧，教孩子们一些他们将在余生中遵循的基本规则，比如轮流和合作，可知，孩子们通过玩捉迷藏的游戏学会一些未来生活中的基本法则。

故选B。

（2）考查词义猜测。

划线部分前面的谓语动词是translate有“翻译，解释，转移，调动”的意思，该部分后面有一个定语从句“th at teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .”教孩子们一些他们将在余生中遵循的基本规则，比如轮流和合作。

前后结合就可以理解这部分的意思是：他们把生活变成激动人心的戏剧，由此可知，此处与C项“游戏可以让学习生活技能更有趣”意思相近。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“Pe ople who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it.”观看比赛的人挥
舞着旗帜，知道金牌是一个国家的胜利，而不仅仅是赢得金牌的运动员，可推断，赢得奥运奖牌激发了人们对国家深厚的爱。

故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“He created a foundation to provide po or children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.”他创建了一个基金会，为贫困儿童提供的不仅仅是足球还有一个充满希望的未来。

可知，Iribarne成立基金会的目的是让贫穷的孩子有机会过上更好的生活。

故选C。
