Text 10
It happened when I was nine years old. On a rainy day, my father was busy and asked me to go to a shop and buy something for him. The shop was three miles from my home. I set out with an umbrella in my hand. The road was very wet and muddy. I walked with great difficulty. After I bought everything, I started going back. On my way I fell several times，but I wasn't badly hurt.When I was halfway to my home, I slipped and fell heavily to the ground. I found I had hurt my right knee. I couldn't stand up because of the pain. Just at that time a young soldier was walking past me. As I was muddy all over，he knew at once I was in trouble. He helped me to stand up.When he knew my leg was hurt and I couldn't walk, he put me on his back and made his way towards my home. Soon he was tired and wet with sweat, but he continued to carry me until we reached my home. I was moved by his spirit, and my parents thanked him again and again, and asked him to stay to have dinner with us. But he said，“I have only done what I should，〞and left.My father said to me，“He has set a good example to you. You should study hard and serve the people like him in the future. 〞I will always remember this trip.
第二局部：阅读理解(共两节，总分为40分)
第一节(共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分)
阅读如下短文，从每题所给的4个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。

A
What is a boy?
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy〞. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the belief：to enjoy every second of every minute every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere—on top of, under，inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly, or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture—he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something，he_has five thumbs (拇指) on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, companies，schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties，barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature—he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad ！〞
21．The whole passage is in a tone(调子) of________.
A．humor and affectionB．respect and harmony
C．ambition and expectationD．confidence and imagination
答案：A主旨大意题。

通过快速阅读文章不难看出文章的写作基调是幽默而充满爱的。

22．Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?
A．He has altogether five fingers.
B．He is slow，foolish and clumsy.
C．He becomes clever and smart.
D．He cuts his hand with a knife.
答案：B推理判断题。

答案在关键词but之后，but之前讲的是boys的长处，而but之后作者笔锋一转，显然是说男孩的弱点。

23．According to the writer，boys appreciate everything in the following except________. A．ice cream B．comic books
C．Saturday mornings D．Sunday schools
答案：D细节理解题。

从文章倒数第三段内容可知答案。

24．What does the writer feel about boys?
A．He feels curious about their noise.
B．He is fed up with these creatures.
C．He is amazed by their naughtiness.
D．He feels unsafe staying with them.
答案：C主旨大意题。

此题易误选B。

如果不知道be fed up with＝be tired of，是“讨厌〞的意思，就很难排除B选项。

从文章的最后一段中A boy is a magical creature与其后面的解释就能看出作者对男孩那种“顽皮劲〞、“淘气劲〞感到吃惊。

B
(2014·广东)
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old boy student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studied law and music.
Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note.〞says Samuel. Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.〞
However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

Tail Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The
smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning
around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing
about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't
have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.
When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it？〞Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it—but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，〞says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion (动作) and build muscles (肌肉)．〞
Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin
Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.
文章大意：本文为一篇记叙文，属励志类文章。

通过讲述海洋公园的小海豚Grace尽管没有尾巴，却能抑制困难，用另外一种方式游泳，并且还要拍电影《海豚的故事》以激励人们要勇敢地面对困难。

29．When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ________. A．physical buildB．potential ability
C．chance of survivalD．adaptation to the surroundings
答案：C细节理解题。

由文章第二段可知，当这只海豚在2005年12月刚到海洋公园时，“she was fighting for her life〞，它的训练员说“Is she going to make it？〞，由此我们知道，刚开始，它的训练员担心它能不能活下来，故正确答案为C项。

30．A man-made tail is created for Grace to ________.
A．let her recover faster
B．make her comfortable
C．adjust her way of swimming
D．help her perform better tricks
答案：C推理判断题。

由文章第三段可知，海豚Grace形成了它自己的游泳方式。

由第五段内容可知，给海豚戴上人造尾巴的目的不是为了舒服，而是为了保持动作，锻炼肌肉，也就是它带着人造尾巴的目的是调整游泳方式，故C项正确。

31．The story of Grace inspires people to ________.
A．stick to their dreamsB．treat animals friendly
C．treasure what they haveD．face difficulties bravely
答案：D推理判断题。

A项表示“坚持梦想〞；B项表示“友好地对待动物〞；C项表示“珍惜拥有〞；D项表示“要勇敢面对困难〞。

由文章内容可知，尽管海豚Grace没有了尾巴，但是它抑制困难，以另外一种方式游泳，最后还提到，它要拍电影给人们带来鼓励，由此我们知道，我们要勇敢地面对困难，故D项为正确答案。

D
He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall，Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University，where he studied physics，and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.
Professor Hawking said: “My sister Phil ippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.〞He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy，and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，〞he sa id.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.〞
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.〞
文章大意：文章向我们介绍了传奇科学家霍金。

32．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.
B．Stephen Hawking couldn't read at the age of 7.
C．Stephen Hawking's handwriting was once terribly bad.
D．Stephen Hawking's sister once performed much better than him.
答案：A细节理解题。

由第三段的But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.可知绰号“爱因斯坦〞是同学给起的，但并不意味着他就是第二个爱因斯坦。

故A项不符合文意。

33．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?
A．Patience. B．Knowledge.
C．Disease. D．Laziness.
答案：C细节理解题。

由第二段最后一句．..only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone disease made him concentrate on his work.可知，是“运动神经元疾病〞促使他有所作为。

应当选C项。

34．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B．It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.
C．The purpose of the doctor's diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.
D．His life might be taken away by long hard work.
答案：B段落大意题。

由最后一段，特别是信息句He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.〞可知，他有可能要面对英年早逝的不幸事实。

应当选B项。

35．From whom did Hawking get a relatively just estimation when he was at school?
A．His sister. B．His classmates.
C．His teachers. D．His parents.
答案：B细节理解题。

根据第三段最后霍金的话可知，尽管教师不看好他，同学们仍给他“爱因斯坦〞的绰号，他们从他身上看到好的一面。

第二节(共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you have ever been in a school play or ever made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone or something else. __36__ .
In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2,200 B．C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. __37__ To the dance was gradually added pantomime (哑语)—the imitation of movements and gestures—as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.
While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B．C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom.__38__.
Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces styles of famous movie
actors are known worldwide.__39__A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.
__40__Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.
A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.
B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.
C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.
D. Historical records show that this desire is as old as civilization itself.
E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.
F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.
G. As a result, they had little opportunity to show their individual personalities.
