It was even scarier because my niece was asleep on the back seat and her father, my brother, was in the front passenger seat. He was not __39__, to say the least.
The police arrived and began taking __40__. I explained that my __41__ had been up to at about 55 kmph. “So you were going about 50 kmph ...”he said.
“No, I said I was doing about 55 kmph,” I said.
“Right, so you were doing about 50 kmph ...” Again he __42__.
In a slightly __43__ tone because I felt I wasn’t being heard, I said : “No !
I was doing about 55 kmph !”
“OK, if that’s the way you want it,” this time the officer simply replied, I didn’t __44__ it at the time, and was shooting myself in the foot. My insurance company paid me for the __45__ to my car. However, I totally missed the boat on the other driver’s insurance company.
The city speed limit is 50 kmph. I __46__ getting 50 percent less than I would have from the other guy’s insurance compan y __47__ I had insisted I was doing 55 kmph.

I thought about what had __50__ over and over again. I might have carried on insisting that I told the __51__, but I could at least have said “Thank you” to him __52__ acting so rudely. After all, he had been trying to __53__ me out.

答案与解析
【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

通过讲述亲身经历，作者想要告诉我们，倾听是最难的事情，但我们必须学会倾听，这样我们才能听到一些东西。

(1)举起；拿起
Mr. Black picked up his hat and went out．
布莱克先生拿起帽子走了出去。

I picked up my coat from the cleaners．
我从干洗店取回了外衣。

(4)(偶然)得到；听到；学会
I don’t know where my children picked up those rude words．
我不知道我的孩子在哪儿学来的那些粗话。

36．答案 B
解析根据后文信息，尤其是“That new and very beautiful car was destroyed．”可知，作者遇到了一场事故，故选B。

37．答案 C
解析根据后文所述可知，这次事故的责任不在作者，不是作者的错。

38．答案 A
解析结合前后文及常识推断，那位司机因打手机而闯了红灯，最终导致事故的发生。

39．答案 A
解析根据“It was even scarier because my niece was asleep on the back seat”可知，尽管有惊无险，但作者的哥哥很不“高兴”。

40．答案 A
解析根据后文可知，警察来录口供。

take a statement“正式记录(某人的)陈述”，故A 项正确。

41．答案 B
解析作者说自己的车速大致在55千米／时。

42．答案 D
解析作者再一次说自己的车速大概是55千米／时，警察却再一次强调他的车速是50千米／时左右。

故此处为repeated。

43．答案 D
解析根据后文“because I felt I wasn’t being heard”以及倒数第二段中的“acting so rudely”可知，当时作者有点“气恼”。

44．答案 B
解析根据后文中“It suddenly __48__ to me ... help me out．”可知，作者当时没有意识到警察是在帮他。

45．答案 B
解析根据第一段“That new and very beautiful car was destroyed．”可知，作者的车在事故中受到了损坏，保险公司对此进行了赔偿。

46．答案 A
解析该城市的限速标准为50千米／时，因为作者一直坚持自己的车速为55千米／时，所以他少获得50％的赔偿。

end up“最终成为；最后处于”，符合语境。

47．答案 D
解析参见上题解析。

前后句子之间为因果关系。

48．答案 A
解析作者忽然想到，当时那个交警一直想要帮他。

“it occurs to sb．+that从句”表示
“某人突然想到……”。

49．答案 D
解析根据前文信息及常识可知，这个交警知道一些作者不知道的有关保险的事情。

50．答案 B
解析作者一遍又一遍回顾所发生的事情。

51．答案 B
解析作者在想如果回到那时，他很可能会继续坚持说出事实，但是他至少会向那位交警说声“谢谢”而不是如此粗鲁。

52．答案 A
解析参见上题解析。

53．答案 A
解析根据前文“It suddenly __48__ to ... help me out．”可知答案。

54．答案 C
解析根据作者的经历可知，作者认为，别人说话时自己闭上嘴倾听有时是最难的事情。

55．答案 D
解析千万不要忘记，为了听到一些话，你就必须要能够倾听。

第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
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。

I went from being Cameron’s friend to her enemy. The popular kids all called me names. They played tricks on me, and sometimes when they passed me in the hall, they’d put me into the lockers(储物柜). It got so bad that I hated going to school. Ever y afternoon, I’d sit in my room and cry.
Maybe you’re wondering why I didn’t just tell on the m. I wanted to, but I was afraid. Sure, I’d get them in a little trouble —but wouldn’t that just make them hate me more? Although I knew that what Cameron and her friends were doing was wrong, part of me kept thinking that maybe the problem was me.
Then I found http: //www. discovery girls. com, and suddenly, I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I knew I had to speak up, even if I was scared. After I finished crying, I talked to my parents. And the next day, I went to the principal and told her everything.
Since then, I’ve learned that I wasn’t alone at all. A lot of kids are victims of bullies(仗势欺人者), and a lot of girls, especially, are victims of “cyber bullies”. It’s so easy to bully someone online — you can cut her down and never even have to see the hurt on her face. You can post embarrassing pictures or insults without admitting that you’re the one doing it. It’s as bad as being bullied in person — or maybe even worse.
So I started speaking out about bullying and cyber bullying at my school and in my comm unity. At first, it was really hard to tell my story, but I’m glad I did. Instead of telling me I’m a loser, kids told me I was brave. Some people even called me a hero!
56. The underlined phrase “called me names” in the first paragraph most probably
means “________”.
A. called aloud my name in public
B. asked me to play with them
C. asked me what my name was
D. said insulting words to me
57. Why did the writer keep silent at first?
A. She was scared.
B. She had no friends to support her.
C. She didn’t want to lose face.
D. She thought she was wrong.
58. Having spoken out about her experience, the writer feels ________.
A. embarrassed
B. delighted
C. disappointed
D. puzzled
59. What does the writer mainly want to tell readers in the passage?
A. Don’t insult someone on the Net.
B. Make as many friends as possible.
C. Be brave enough to stop being bullied.
D. Be yourself and show your strength.
答案与解析
【解题导语】你在生活中被欺负过吗?遇到这种情况时，别沉默，要像本文的作者一样勇敢地说出来。

56．答案 D
解析根据后面同学们对作者的欺凌可推知，“called me names”表达的意思最有可能是“辱骂”。

57．答案 A
解析根据第二段中的“Maybe you’re wondering why I didn’t just tell on them． I wanted to， but I was afraid．”可知，作者是因为害怕，才对她的遭遇沉默不语。

58．答案 B
解析文章最后一段中的“At first， it was really hard to tell my story， but I’m glad I did．”表明，作者讲述自身遭遇后很高兴。

59．答案 C
解析通读全文可知，本文作者以自身的经历告诉我们要勇敢阻止被欺负这种情况的发生。

People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’s living. And of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning. I like to paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn’t the same time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
But then, I have no one to chat with when I’m bored, no one to discuss last night’s match with during the office lunch hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like cycling or gardening if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home.
Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not, and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it’s too late —my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling in if I worked in an office, b ut I find myself listening to friends’ troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.
However, when I hear the traffic news on the radio, and imagine my friends sitting miserably in their cars in a jam, feeling bored, or waiting unhappily for an overcrowded train in the rain, I realise that I really haven’t got much to complain about. I find a CD which will start me thinking, turn it up really loudly and begin another picture.
60. In the passage the writer is trying to ________.
A. encourage readers to work at home
B. explain why he decides to be an artist
C. describe his working life
D. show how he begins a picture
61. What does the writer like about his working life?
A. He has plenty of opportunities for sport.
B. He can do things without being told by others.
C. He needn’t work in the morning.
D. He has a comfortable place to work in.
62. The writer plays loud music because ________.
A. the traffic outside is noisy
B. it helps him to have ideas
C. it prevents him from feeling bored
D. he doesn’t want to hear the doorbell
63. Which of these notices would be the most useful for the writer to put on his door?
A. I’m working —please don’t disturb.
B. Please knock before entering.
C. I’m liste ning to music — join me.
D. Come in and have a chat.
答案与解析
【解题导语】大千世界人们谋生的方式各不相同。

艺术家的工作方式是什么样子的呢?他们有无人分享生活点滴的寂寞，也有自由自在、天马行空地创作的快乐。

60．答案 C
解析通读整篇文章可知，作者主要描述了他作为一名艺术家的工作方式。

61．答案 B
解析从文章第一段中的“What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning .... And nobody tells me what to wear or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match．”可知答案。

62．答案 B
解析从文章最后一段中的最后一句可知，作者将音乐声开得大是因为这会激发他的灵感。

63．答案 A
解析从文章第三段中的“Unfortunately， working at home means that people can always
find me， whether I’m bored or not， and once I’ve answered the doorbell， it’s too late — my thoughts have been interrupted．”可推知，A项符合题意。

Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk as far as possible. It is important to make that area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.

Bye-bye, Junk Food
June 6, 2012 By Alexandra Sifferlin for TIME with additional reporting by Anna Prokos The Walt Disney Company on Tuesday became the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. Starting in 2015, there won’t be any candy, sugary cereal or fast food commercials (广告) aimed at kids. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices.
The ban will first apply to Disney XD and Saturday-morning children’s programming on Disney-ABC Television, as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts. Fast food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as apples, vegetables and yogurt.
In addition to candy bars and fast food meals, other foods that don’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards will be banned from the company’s kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled.
Even though many fast food chains and food companies offer healthier options, like a pples and salads, Disney said it could still deny the companies’ ads. A company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.
Disney isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie
theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.
“Getting rid of junk food ads could make it easier to keep a family on a healthy diet,” says Nadine Haskell, a mother of two sons. “If they see a commercial on TV, then the next time we go to the grocery store they’ll say they want to try it.”
68. Why did the Walt Disney Company ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites?
A. In order to give way to other ads.
B. In order to lead a revolution in the world of media.
C. In order to achieve greater success in the area of ads.
D. In order to help kids make better food choices.
69. The ban will apply to the following EXCEPT ________.
A. healthy food commercials such as yogurt ads
B. kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts
C. programs on Disney-ABC Television
D. Disney-owned websites related to families with young children
70. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is mentioned to show that ________.
A. people had a positive reaction to Disney’s new policy

C. Disney is not alone on the way to saying goodbye to junk foods
