A
There is a man who is dying to find the way to success, but he doesn’t have an idea how to do it. One day, he meets a guru, a religious teacher, on the road. The man asks the guru, “Which way is to success?” The gum doesn’t speak, but points to a place off in the distance.
The man, thrilled by the prospect（前景） of quick and easy success, rushes off in that direction. Along the way, he is occupied in thinking about something special but there is nothing. Suddenly there comes a loud splat（溅泼声）. Eventually, the man limps（蹒跚） back in rags, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. Therefore, he returns to the guru for a reason. He repeats his question to the gum, who again points silently in the same direction.
The man was obedient to walk off once more. This time the splat is deafening （震耳欲聋的）, and when the man crawls（爬行） back, he is bloody, broken and angry, “I asked you which way was to success,” he screams at the guru,” I followed the direction you pointed to. And all I got was being knocked down! No more of this pointing! Tell me why? Talk!”
Only then does the guru speak, and what he says is that “Success is that way. Just a little past the splat.”
1. Why does the man fail once more?
A. He is so stupid that he cannot find it.
B. The way to success does not exist in life.
C. The guru gave the wrong direction to him.
D. He does not make sense of the guru’s words.
2. What does the underlined word ‘‘obedient” in Paragraph 3 mean?

difficulties.
4. What does the passage mainly tell us?

试题分析：这是一篇哲理性小故事。

有一个人渴望找到成功的
道路，于是询问一名智者，智者指向远处的一个地方。

于是这个人就一直向前，失败后就又不再继续寻找，最终什么也没有找到，狼狈不堪。

智者告诉他，成功就是经历失败后继续向前。

这篇文章告诉我们，不要过早的放弃，成功就在你失败之后。

【1题详解】 推理判断题。

由最后一段“what he says is that “Success is that way. Just a little past the splat.”可推断，这个人之所以再一次失败，是因为他们没有完全理解智者的话，成功的道路充满失败，不要过早放弃，继续坚持，你就会成功。

故选D 。

【2题详解】
词句猜测题。

由第二段可知，当这个再次询问智者那条路通向成功时，智者再次重复了以前的问题，指向同一个方向，结合下文“walk off once more...”可推断，这个听了智者的话，很听话的再次离开了，再次撞得头破血流。

因此可知，画线词词义是“顺从的”与A 项意义相近。

故选A 。

【3题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后一段的“Success is that way. Just a little past the splat.”可推断，智者认为成功时经历许多失败以后，继续向前。

故选C 。

【4题详解】 主旨大意题。

纵观全文特别是最后一段的内容可推断，文章通过讲述一个人追逐成功的故事，告诉读者不要太早的放弃，失败后继续坚持，你就会成功。

故选B 。

B
Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold water near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.
All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat. Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.
When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.
Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.
In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.
5. The underlined phrase “licked up” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A. given up
B. ended up
C. broken up
D. eaten up
6. During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales _____.
A. always swim under the ocean
B. find food to supply their energy
C. face the colder and colder water
D. travel to the lagoons without a break
7. Where do mother gray whales give birth?
A. In warm shallow waters near Mexico.
B. Off the coast of North America.
C. In the open seas near Mexico.
D. In cold waters near Alaska.
8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about gray whales in the text?
A. How long they live.
B. How they get their food.
C. When they get back to Alaska.
D. How long they spend traveling to Mexico.
【答案】5. D 6. D 7. A 8. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

描写了哺乳动物中最长的迁徙，即灰鲸从靠近阿拉斯加区域一路向北，往温暖的墨西哥迁徙的过程。

以及灰鲸是怎样捕食，分娩等事情。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

由上文（They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.）灰鲸从海底吞一大口淤泥，将淤泥从鲸须中吐出，泥水流出去，小的生物被困在鲸须中，转而被吃掉。

故D项正确。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

题干中关键词为Mexico，在原文第4段Two months later, the whales reach Mexico.开头找到，故而可将答案定位到上一段。

第3段中的They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest.指出，在往墨西哥迁徙的长途中，灰鲸夜以继日，不做任何的停留和休息。

故D项正确。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。

由文章第4段中的Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖).可知，灰鲸宝宝出生在被称之为濒海湖的温暖的浅水区，故A 项正确。

C
The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job, but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways:
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor，the poor will become more productive.
If the government spends money on social programs, education and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more probable that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises
some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
9. This passage is mainly about .
A. the poverty line
B. how to look for jobs
C. how to raise the standard of living
D. the causes of poverty and solutions to the problem
10. If the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty
line .
A. falls
B. does not change
C. rises
D. changes at random
11. Which one is not the reason that poor adults do not look for jobs?
A. They are too sick to work.
B. They have no motivation.
C. They family problems.
D. They are too lazy to find jobs.
12. The underlined word “distribute” means “ ”.
A. charge
B. share
C. receive
D. deliver
【答案】9. D 10. C 11. D 12. B
【解析】
试题分析：这是一篇说明文。

介绍了美国处于贫困线以下的人的情况，并且分析了这些人贫困的原因，还提出了解决贫困问题的办法。

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。

通读全文，由第二段的“Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.”和第五段的“At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways:”可推断，文章对美国人口贫困的原因进行了分析，并向政府建议了几种解决办法，故选D。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段
"As the general standard of living in the country rises，
the poverty line does，too"可知，，一个国家贫困是随着普遍的生活水平提高而提高
地。

故选C。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

由第四段的“Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of
personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family
problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.”可知，贫穷的成年人找
不到工作的个人原因包括：生病，没有动机，有家庭问题以及他们认为他们找不到工作。

故
选D。

【12题详解】词句猜测题。

由下文“The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.”可知，作者建议政府
向不穷的人征税，把钱给穷人。

增加穷人的福利。

因此推断如果政府不同的分配社会收入，
会让穷人生活在贫困线之上。

因此推断画线词词义与B项“共享”意义相近。

故选B。

【点睛】
运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。

要求考生具备整合分
散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把
握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。

常见的逻辑关系
有：因果关系，同位关系，对比关系，转折关系等。

例如小题4，由下文“The government
collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. ”可知，作者建议政
府向不穷的人征税，把钱分配穷人。

因此可以推断如果政府不同的共享社会收入，会让穷人
生活在贫困线之上。

因此推断画线词词义与B项“共享”意义相近。

故选B。

D
If you’ve never bought organic food, you might be wondering what’s so special about it. Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you
a short introduction to the subject.
Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides
(insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think it’s better for their health. Whether that’s true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but it’s also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers — and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them —finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly, but they’re just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.
Many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. After all, you’re doing away with expensive chemicals ... so shouldn’t they be cheaper? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive(劳动密集型) way of farming and that’s why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, it’s up to you to decide where to put your money. Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?
13. Which of the following does the author agree on?
A. Organic food is better for people’s health.
B. Organic food is better for the environment.
C. Organic food tastes better than traditional food.
D. Organic food can be produced in great amounts.
14. The underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “______”.
A. making use of
B. getting rid of
C. keeping away from
D. taking advantage of
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards organic food?
A. Doubtful.
B. Uncertain.
C. Worried.
D. Supportive.
【答案】13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

主要阐述虽然有机食品价格贵，但是它的生产过程中不使用人工化肥等，这对于保护环境是大大有益的。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

由文章第2段最后一句话（Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.）可知，有机食品生产过程中不使用人工化肥这是帮助减少这个问题的方法之一。

而“这个问题”由前文environmental pollution可知指的是环境污染。

故而作者同意：有机食品更有益于环境。

故B项正确。

【14题详解】
词义推断题。

A. making use of 充分利用；B. getting rid of摆脱、淘汰；C. keeping away from远离；D. taking advantage of利用。

由该处后面的句子so shouldn’t they be cheaper?可知，人们希望购买更便宜的食品，故而you’re doing away with expensive chemicals意为“人们正在淘汰昂贵的化学品”更合理，故而选B。

【15题详解】
判断推理题。

由文章最后2句话（Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?你是否乐于购买可能以有害的方式生长的产品？还是说，你更愿意花更多的钱购买有助于保护环境的有机食品？）可知，作者对于有机食品的态度是支持的，故选D。

前两句连续提出了三个问题，你真正幸福吗？你知道幸福意味着什么吗？要获得幸福需要什么？这几个问题对于追求幸福的人来说都很重要，故选E。

【17题详解】
考查上下文理解和推理判断。

上文“It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way.”提及如果你的周围都是一些消极的人，那么你也会变得消极。

故选C。

【19题详解】

因此每天花点时间为自己做点好事也很重要。

故选D。

【20题详解】

同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。

例如，第11小题答案change（零钱）在上文就多次提到过，如第1段第2句话中too much change。

【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。

“_1___（name）Daisy”作定语，name与逻辑主语a woman之间是被动关系，用过去分词表示被动。

故填named。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。

devote...to...“致力于”是固定短语，to是介词，接动名词作宾语。

故填attending。

【43题详解】
考查谓语动词，deserve是谓语动词，主语是从句“ what she has done for children”，故谓语动词用单数，由主句使用一般现在时可推断，用一般现在时。

故填deserves。

【44题详解】
考查副词。

Personally speaking“就个人而言”，personally作状语用副词形式。

personal 是形容词，副词形式是personally。

故填personally。

【45题详解】
考查谓语动词。

“who ___5___（invite）to deliver a speech”是定语从句，先行词是Daisy，从句中作主语，故从句中的谓语动词与先行词保持人称和数的一致，由上文的was 推断，句子讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，invite与Daisy是被动关系，且Daisy是第三人称单数，故填was invited。

【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。

分析句子成分可知，“__6___（take）care of homeless children”作主语，作主语用动名词形式，置句首单词首字母大写。

故填Taking。

【47题详解】
考查冠词。

Job是可数名词，此处泛指“一项普通的工作”。

故填a。

【48题详解】
考查介词。

句意：……但是并不意味着你可以看不起这项工作。

look down on/upon“看不起”。

故填upon/on。

【49题详解】
考查形容词比较等级。

根据语境推断，句意为：每个工作都是平等的，我们不能说哪一个工作是更好的。

is是系动词，接形容词作表语。

故填better。

【50题详解】
考查连词。

句意：一旦你开始做某事，你就应该坚持下去，直到最后，否则你最后什么也得不到。

结合句意，故填or/otherwise。

【点睛】
语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，有把握的空格可以进行填写。

在读懂的基础上，再结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析逐题解答。

本篇语法填空考查了许多动词的用法。

解答这类试题，首先判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。

若句子没有别的谓语动词或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系，所给动词就是谓语动词，若是谓语动词就要考虑时态和语态；若句子有谓语动词则用非谓语动词（动词不定式、现在分词、动名词和过去分词）。

例如小题1，分析句子成分可知，此处是there be句型，谓语动词是is，“_1___（name）Daisy”作定语，name与逻辑主语a woman之间是被动关系，用过去分词表示被动。

故填named。

再如小题2，devote...to...“致力于”是固定短语，to是介词，接动名词作宾语。

故填attending。

又如小题3，分析句子成分可知，句子缺少谓语动词，deserve是谓语动词，主语从句“what she has done for children”作主语，谓语动词用单数，由主句使用一般现在时可推断，用一般现在时。

故填deserves。

小题5，分析句子成分可知，“who ___5___（invite）to deliver a speech”是定语从句，先行词是Daisy，从句中作主语，故从句中的谓语动词与先行词保持人称和数的一致，由上文的was推断，句子讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，invite是从句谓语动词，与Daisy是被动关系，且Daisy是第三人称单数，故填was invited。

小题6，分析句子成分可知，“__6___（take）care of homeless children”作主语，作主语用动名词形式，置句首单词首字母大写。

故填Taking。
