John Steinbeck was a great American writer. He was born in Salinas, California on February 27, 1902. His mother, a teacher, fostered (培养) Steinbeck’s love of reading and the written word. During the summers he worked on nearby farms, which gave him the impression of the California countryside and its people. He studied at Salinas High School between 1915 and 1919. At the age of 18, he studied biology at Stanford University but he left in 1925 without finishing his degree.
Among other things, Steinbeck wrote about the hard lives of workers. During his early years of writing, Steinbeck did many jobs. When Steinbeck was 27, his first novel was published. Over his lifetime he wrote a lot of fiction and non-fiction. Of Mice and Men(1937) became Steinbeck’s first success. His novel The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939, brought him even greater success. A year later he won the Pulitzer Prize for this novel. It is also for this novel that he is best remembered. Many of his books have been adapted (改编) for films and the theatre.
Steinbeck was first married in 1930 to Carol Henning. The marriage ended in divorce (离婚) in 1942. In 1943 Steinbeck moved to New York City where he lived for the rest of his life. He married the singer Gwyndolyn Conger in 1943 and had two sons, Thom, born in 1944, and John born in 1946. They were divorced in 1948 and two years later he married his third wife, Elaine Scott.
In 1962 Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature (文学). And in 1964 President Lyndon B Johnson presented him with the United States Medal of Freedom.

8. D 【解析】细节理解题。

从第一段内容可知Steinbeck出生于1902年，60岁时应是1962
年；再根据倒数第二段中的＂In 1962 Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.＂可知答案。

C
We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.
Forever Friends’ relationship coach Sam Owen says:＂It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.＂Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.
9. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?
A. 4.
B. 12.
C. 18.
D. 22.
10. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ___________.
A. how important making friends is
B. that friendship is not easy to keep
C. how much has been done to keep friendship
D. that friendship at school is important
11. The underlined phrase ＂drift away from＂in Paragraph 6 means ＂___________＂.
A. make sense of
B. lose contact with
C. feel sorry for
D. make up with
12. This passage is most probably taken from ___________.
A. Facebook or Twitter
B. an advertisement
C. a textbook
D. a newspaper
【答案】
【语篇解读】研究表明，我们在26岁时拥有最多的朋友，但是随着时间的推移，我们的朋友会减少。

11. B【解析】词义猜测题。

根据倒数第二段的第二句＂Over half of us lose friendship...apart
from close pals＂及画线词所在句＂Having children also causes 19% to...childhood friends＂可以判断，画线词意为＂失去联系＂，故B项正确。

A项意为＂理解＂，C项意为＂对……感到抱歉＂，D项意为＂与……和好＂，都与语境不符。

D
Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth’s crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunami. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生) of earthquakes in the world.
13. The passage is mainly about .
A. scientists who study earthquakes
B. the way of measuring earthquakes
C. a usual natural disaster — earthquakes
D. what people should do in the earthquake
14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The earthquake in Shaanxi Province happened in 1556.
B. The earthquake in Shaanxi Province killed almost one million people.
C. The earthquake in Shaanxi Province caused a lot of damage.
D. The earthquake in Shaanxi Province was the only earthquake in China.
15. According to the passage we know that tsunamis .
A. can cause earthquakes
B. are caused by earthquakes
C. only happen on land
D. are a way of measuring earthquakes
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是关于大自然中的一种常见的灾难——地震的具体信息等。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Five Ways to Improve Communication Skills
Communication is one of the most important skills we can ever learn. It affects everything that we do —whether we’re communicating at work to meet deadli nes and achieve results, or
communicating with friends, family and partners to build strong relationships. Thus communication is very important. Here are five ways to improve your communication skills.
16
This reflects a real lack of respect. By int errupting someone, what you’re basically saying is ＂I don’t care what you’re saying — what I have to say is more important＂.
Don’t finish other people’s sentences.
17Wrong. Research has shown by doing this you are disempowering the other person because you are taking control of the conversation, so bite your tongue!
Paraphrase.
If you want to show that you have really understood someone, then paraphrasing(解释) is a great tool. ____18____ Here’s an example: ＂So Barney, what I’m hearing is that results a re the number one objective for you right now and we need to find some fast solutions for you?＂
19
Focus on active listening instead of passive listening. The difference is that active listening means you engage with and respond to the other person based on what he/she has said, while passive listening is simply the act of listening with no response.
Maintain eye contact.
By looking at the other person in the eyes, you are proving that you’re interested in what he/she is saying. ____20____
A. Talk actively.
B. Listen actively.
C. Never interrupt people.
D. This also keeps you focused and less distracted.
E. You don’t see them interrupting others or leaving off mid-conversation.
F. I used to do this a lot thinking I was helpfully finishing people’s se ntences for them.
G. All you do is repeat back to someone what he/she has just said, before you comment yourself.
【答案】
【语篇解读】交流是我们能够学到的最重要的技能之一。

那么，如何提高我们的交流能力呢？本文介绍了五种方法。

18. G 【解析】根据空前后的句子可知，在使用paraphrase这一方法时，你要做的就是重复对
方刚刚说的话。

故G项正确。

19. B 【解析】根据下文中的＂Focus on active listening instead of passive listening.＂及本段内容
可知，此处讲述的方法是积极倾听。

故B项正确。

20. D 【解析】根据本段标题及空前的句子可知，此处表示目光接触还能使人专心。

D项中的
This指代＂looking at the other person in the eyes＂，also也是解题的关键，故D项正确。

Although I could not 35 more years to the lives of these elderly residents, I could give them something simple that’s often 36 in our society. Through our conversations, I gave them the 37 that in this fast-paced world, they were not forgotten — that members of younger generations still cared about them.
Every moment I spend 38 is an opportunity to reduce their pain. 39 , that moment also shapes me, I not only learn about life and experiences outside of school, but also receive the gift of being part of this 40 —the connection between humans.

【答案】
【语篇解读】本文讲述作者到老人院帮助老人，从中感悟到自己简单的行为也能对他人的人生产生影响，并在此过程中塑造了自己，收获了人生经历和人与人之间情感联系的故事。

24. C 在＂我＂(给她们的指甲)上新颜色的时候，一位老妇人开始向＂我＂讲述自己的隐痛。

上下文没有提示作者主动要求听取老人的故事，因此不存在＂同意＂。

25. B 从她去世的丈夫说到她最想要的物品：照相机。

26. B 根据下文＂...with some of her past pains taken off her mind.＂可知，倾诉过之后，老人卸
下了一些过去的痛苦，因此推知，她如释重负地笑了。

27. A ＂我＂实实在在地帮助了别人，这个事实让＂我＂受到了鼓舞。

28. B 根据下文＂just listening, for example＂以及倒数第二段的＂I could give them something
simple...＂可知，仅仅是倾听这样的简单行为。

29. D ＂我＂意识到自己简单的行为，比如仅仅是倾听，都能对他人的生活产生影响。

make a
difference意为＂起作用，有影响＂。

30. D ＂我＂们有相同的姓氏。

share意为＂分享，共有＂。

34. B 根据上文＂I didn’t know what to do but nod and listen＂可知，＂我＂不知该做些什么，
只能一边点头，一边听着，(因为)＂我＂知道她的女儿一定已经在几十年前就毕业了。

35. C 尽管＂我＂不能使这些老年人的生命多增加几年，即延长他们的寿命。

36. D 根据上文＂something simple＂以及下文＂in this fast-paced world＂可知，＂我＂能够给
他们一些被这个(快节奏的)社会忽视的简单的东西。

37. A 通过＂我＂们谈话的过程，＂我＂给了他们一种保证，即在这个行色匆匆的世界，他
们没有被遗忘——年轻一代的人依然关心他们。

38. A 根据前文＂Through our conversations＂可知，＂我＂与老人家交谈，因此推知，＂我＂
跟他们的每一次交谈都是减轻他们痛苦的机会。

39. C 反过来，(与老人家交谈的)那些时刻也塑造了＂我＂。

40. B 根据上文＂Every moment I spend...＂以及下文＂Those moments of sharing and
listening...＂可知，本段的中心为＂我＂与老人家交谈所花的时间，由此推知，在这个过程中，＂我＂不但了解了学校以外的生活和经历，参与这个过程也使＂我＂获得了一份礼物，即人与人之间的(情感)联系。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you have the time? This is a very commonly 41(ask) question, whether in American, British, __42__ Australian English. If I 43(be) the editor of the Grand Encyclopedia of Excuses, I think that ＂I don’t have the time＂would win the prize for being the most commonly used excuse, year after year.
No one 44(give) you the time. It’s you that make the time, as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. The key is what criteria(标准) you rely 45. If you don’t decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. Another 46(say) in English is ＂Take your time＂, which is similar to the Chinese ＂慢慢来＂. I see a 47(deep) meaning of this simple phrase, which is that if you don’t take your time, someone else will do so for you.
If you think about your friends, 48(colleague) and business partners, it’s no t difficult to divide them into two kinds: those rare ones who always make time for you when you need them, and those common folks who __49__ (most) don’t. When you look back on your life, you’ll be more appreciative of those occasions 50you made the time than those when you seized the advantage.
【答案】
【语篇解读】在现实中,缺少时间似乎经常是我们不能做某事的理由。

但如果你不支配自己的时间,那决定权就由不得你。

41. asked 考查过去分词作定语。

分析句子成分可知，此处用ask的过去分词形式表示被动，
意为＂被问的问题＂。

42. or 考查固定搭配。

whether...or...＂不论是……还是……＂，符合语境。

43. were 考查虚拟语气。

根据语境＂假如我是《借口大辞海》的编辑＂可知，该从句表示与
现在事实相反的虚拟语气，故用were。

48. colleagues 考查名词复数。

由空前的friends和空后的partners可知，此处应填名词的复数形式。

49. mostly 考查副词。

由语境可知，此处应填mostly表示＂通常，一般地＂。

该定语从句补
充完整为＂who mostly don’t make time for you when you need them＂。

50. when 考查定语从句。

分析句子结构可知，此处考查定语从句的关系词。

先行词为
occasions，此处occasions意为＂时刻＂，且该空指代先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，故使用when。

第七处：trying→try 此处为祈使句，应该用动词原形，故把trying改为try。

第八处：share→shares 定语从句的主语是who，先行词是a student，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式，故把share改为shares。
