W：Mike, do you know anything about the history of photography?
M：No, I don't. Do you?
W：Well, the first camera in the world was invented by a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce.
M：When was it?
W：In the year 1826. He needed some pictures for his business. But he was poor, so he just invented a very simple camera to take pictures by himself. He put it in a window of his house and took a photo of his garden.
M：Was the photo clear?
W：No. The first clear photo was taken by another Frenchman called Daguerre. After years of experiments, he finally succeeded in taking a clear photo in 1837. But it wasn't made public until two years later. As time went by, photography became a kind of art. Photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed people's ideas and feelings.
M：How did you get to know so much about photography?
W：Oh, I've just read a book on it.

M：I'd have one guest bathroom next to the living room, one attached to the main bedroom and one upstairs.
W：How would you decorate your house?
M：I would have a few vases and some pictures of family on the walls.
W：How many TVs would your dream room have?
M：I think TV is a waste of time, so I would only have one small TV in the kitchen to watch the news in the morning.
(Text 10)
(W) Fruit pies have been enjoyed as a breakfast food for a long time. They were made with berries, apples and other fruits. The history of pie can be traced right back to ancient Egyptian times. The early Greeks are believed to have given the idea to the early Romans.
Early pies were meat pies and these were being made and served in England as far back as the 1100s. The first fruit pie recipes date back to the 1500s. And the first cherry pie was given as a gift to Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ.
The first English immigrants brought pie to the United States. The early settlers cooked their pies in narrow pans. Pie today is one of
the most traditional American dessert recipes.
There are all kinds of pie recipes. But a survey discovered that two thirds of Americans like apple pies better than any other kinds, followed by sweet potato, pumpkin, lemon and cherry.
Three out of four Americans prefer homemade pies. And only one in a hundred Americans buys pies from a diner. Two in three Americans prefer their pies plain, instead of served with cream or ice cream.
第二部分阅读理解(满分40分，限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English.They are reading, listening, speaking and writing.The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master (掌握) the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs (输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will
improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

When your baby get older, you're faced with the most challenging problem of all: How to get him or her best education you can.
“There was a time when you could enroll your child in kindergarten and about 13 years sit on one of those folding chairs and touch your eyes as they graduated from high school，” Peg Tyre says.
These days the difficult decision of where to send your kid to school starts early.You have to choose a school when your child might only be three or four years old.When you go on a school tour, Tyre says, don't judge the place just by the finger paintings decorating the hallways.
“You want to look at the relationship between teacher and student，” she says.“What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids, who seem to know their strengths and weaknesses.”
There's a myth Tyre wants to say that has to end that all teachers are good teachers and can be moved around from classroom to classroom like bricks.
“That's just not true，” she says.“One of the things I would say is a teacher who is in their first year is not a wonderful sign for an effective teacher for your child.They tend to be kind, they have a lot of energy, but they are not that effective in that first year.” So what do you do if your child is placed in a classroom with an inexperienced teacher? Don't march straight to the principal's office and demand a change, Tyre says.
“You can go to the principal and you can ask this que stion: What are you doing to support that teacher this year so that my child moves forward this year and is not just a guinea pig (实验对象) for your first­year teacher？”
Many parents know when they tour a school to ask about class size.But Tyre says the research doesn't suggest that a smaller class size is a must.“When you look at the really research on class size, class size is very important from kindergarten to third grade ...After third grade there's less of an effect on academic result.” she says.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了在当今社会给孩子们选择一个合适的学校，让他们接受好的教育比较困难。

作者提出了需要考虑的几个因素，如需要考虑老师是不是尊重学生和老师的优劣等情况。

25．We can infer from the second paragraph that in the past ________.
A．a child had to learn at the same school for 13 years
B．it was easy to get the best education for a child at school C．folding chairs were required for children to sit on
D．parents would cry at their children's graduation from school
解析：选B 推理判断题。

从第二段可知曾经有这样的时候，家长把孩子送到幼儿园里，里他都坐在那些折叠椅当中的一个上面，后他就毕业了，所以那个时候让孩子接受教育是比较容易的，不用考虑这种或那种因素，故选B。

26．To choose a school for your kid，you should ________.
A．see how finger paintings decorate the hallways
B．decide what strengths and weaknesses your kid has
C．judge whether teachers respect your kid
D．consider whether the teachers have their own kids
解析：选C 细节理解题。

根据第四段的“What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids”可知她认为父母们应该看看老师是不是尊重孩子，这才是选择一个学校要考虑的，故选C。

27．What statement may Tyre agree to?
A．A new teacher can be energetic and effective.
B．It is wonderful for a kid to have a first­year teacher.
C．A new teacher can teach students of different levels.
D．All teachers aren't good teachers in fact.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

从第五段的第一句话可知人们总是认为所有的老师都是好老师，Tyre认为这种说法是错误的，故选D。

28．What was Tyre's attitude towards class size?
A．She felt it wasn't worth consideration.
B．She was strongly against it.
C．She thought it was most important.
D．She insisted on taking it seriously.
C
Many kids would likely argue that their lunchtime is too short.While the precious breaks after class are used to relax and chat with friends, students also need to scarf_down a full meal to fuel them through the rest of the day.
But it is found that students need more than few minutes to consume (消耗) those much­needed nutrients (营养)．Longer lunchtime is healthier.The study compared food choices with the amount of time students are given to eat.Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less, including nutritional fruits and vegetables.
Nationwide, the average (平均的) lunchtime is about 30 minutes. But researchers found that the real lunchtime can get cut down to less than 10 minutes.Researchers researched 1,001 students in low­income neighborhoods in Massachusetts that had lunchtime between 20 and 30 minutes.Students with shorter lunchtime were less likely to even choose
a fruit in their lunch：44 percent of students with 20­minute time picked up an apple or orange.
More than 30 million children, half of all public school children nationwide, according to the Southern Education Foundation, eat low­cost or free lunches every day under the National School Lunch program.With the 2010 Healthy, Hunger­Free Kids Act, school lunches have seen an overhaul (详细检查) in their nutritional guidelines, with an increase in whole grains (全谷类), low­fat choices, fruits and vegetables.
While increasing lunchtime and cutting into class time may not be a possible choice for many schools, whose funding depends on the results of tests.Researchers suggested simplifying the lunch lines so that students can make the most out of the time they have.
语篇解读：学生在学校的午餐时间过短会让他们营养失衡。

29．The underlined phrase “scarf down” in the first paragraph means “________”．
A．eat B．cook
C．discuss D．improve
解析：选A 词义猜测题。

由第一段“While the precious breaks after class are used to relax and chat with friends，”可推知，此处是说珍贵的休息时间被用于放松、和朋友聊天以及吃一顿丰盛的饭。

30．If students' lunchtime is less than 20 minutes, they would ________.
A．have healthier lunches B．eat more vegetables
C．be short of proper nutrition D．have less choices
解析：选C 细节理解题。

由第二段“Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less, including nutritional fruits and vegetables.”可知，午饭时间少于20分钟的学生会缺少合理的营养。

31．What do nearly half students choose to eat if they only have 20 minutes for lunch?
A．The vegetables. B．The milk.
C．The meat. D．The fruits.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

由第三段“Students with shorter lunchtime were less likely to even choose a fruit in their lunch: 44 percent of students with 20­minute time picked up an apple or orange.”可知，如果只有20分钟时间吃午饭，近一半的学生会选择吃水果。

32．Why wouldn't schools cut into class time in the last paragraph?
A．Because the students will not have the enough healthy choice.
B．Because the non­ideal result of the test will influence the school fund.
C．Because the school will have to improve lunch quality.
D．Because the students will waste their lunchtime playing.
解析：选B 推理判断题。

由最后一段“While increasing lunchti me and cutting into class time may not be a possible choice for many schools, whose funding depends on the results of tests.”可知，学校获得基金的数量取决于学生考试的成绩，可推知，学校不会削减上课时间是因为不理想的考试成绩会影响到学校获得的基金。

D
If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare” “Samuel Johnson” and “Webster”， but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English —William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups.In the west­central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo­Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language.If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would have been close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper­class French and lower­class Anglo­Saxon in its words.We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming, while the upper­class Normans were doing most of eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on
signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic at its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of the man's ambition (野心)．
语篇解读：本文是说明文。

A．president, lawyer, beef
B．president, bread, water
C．bread, field, sheep
D．folk, field, cow
解析：选A 细节理解题。

根据文章第三段可知。

诺曼人统治了英国约100年，法语成为英国官方语言。

英语中有关政治和法律及肉类名称的词语来源于法语。

35．Why does French appear less foreign than German to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A．Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B．They know little of the history of the English language.

解析：选C 细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段第一句话“...
because ...much more different from English than French does.”可知，许多法语单词和英语单词相似。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.Maybe they are worried about their handwriting.Are you one of them? __36__ Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp.
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier.__37__ Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index and middle fingers.
Let the lines by your guide.
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡)．__38__ Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely.Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down.
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little.If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure.
__39__ That makes it harder to make the smooth lines.Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
__40__
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures.So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A．Play games.
B．Ask for more advice.
C．So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”．
D．You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E．Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F．The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G．The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。

文章就如何改善孩子们的书写从而写得一手好字提了5条建议。

36．选F 空格前面的内容提到，有些孩子担心自己的书写，后面一句提到，有5个方法对改善书写有帮助，故此处是说书写不好是可以改善的，F“好消息是每个人都可以改善书写”符合语境。

37．选G 空格前面一句提到，正确握笔可以让书写更容易，因此，此处介绍正确握笔的姿势，G项中的“The best way to hold a pen or pencil”符合此处语境。

38．选C 空格前面一句提到了字的大小和均衡，空格后的内容提到了大
写字母的写法。

C“因此小写字母‘a’应该是大写字母‘A’的一半”举例说明了字号的大小和均衡，符合语境。

39．选E 本段建议我们减小书写压力，并提到，“这”更难以使线条流畅。

由此可见，空格处提到了某种书写习惯，导致线条不流畅。

只有E提到了书写习惯，即“一些孩子写字时太用力往下按”。

40．选A 本段内容主要讲述了包括写字和绘画在内的各种游戏对书写的好处，因此，此处建议我们做有益于书写的游戏，故选A。

She said, “Suzie's in the corner because she hasn't __43__ very well.She didn't listen to a __44__ I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all d ressed in pink.It was __45__ that she'd been put there to sit alone and __46__.
My daughter __47__ her “conversation”， as I sat down on the floor.She said, “I'm all fed up. I just don't know what to do with her any more.She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too.She never __48__ me do the things that I just have to do.She cries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot __49__ and she doesn't know __50__ to fold towels.I don't have the __51__ to teach her.I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean.I don't have the time to sit and play — __52__ what I mean？”
And that day I thought a lot about making some __53__ in my life, as I listened to her __54__ words that cut me like a knife.I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.I'd been caught up in __55__ that increased throughout the year.
But now my __56__ has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different __57__ through my little

I'm going to fill the house with __60__ of a child and her
mother, for we are granted we only have one childhood, and we will never get another.

语篇解读：本文主要介绍了电影《灰姑娘》的故事情节、影片的魅力等内容。

61．based 分析句子结构可知，此处为过去分词短语作定语。

(be) based on“以……为基础”，是固定用法。

62．but 上下文之间是转折关系，应填连词but。

63．whose 空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词a girl，且在从句中作定语，因此填关系代词whose。

64．suddenly 修饰动词应用副词suddenly。

65．an 此处表示泛指，且invitation的发音是以元音音素开头的，故用an。

66．different 本空在be动词之后作表语，故应填形容词different。

67．it 此处指代上文提到的“The newly produced movie”，故用it。

68．What 分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，且从句中缺少主语，因此本空填What。

69．depth 这里用名词作宾语，且与emotion并列。
