Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
(2015·福建高考)Papa, as a son o f a dirt­poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then.So, the world became his school.With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the w orld beyond his tiny hometown.“There's so much to learn，”he'd say.“Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied(拒绝)an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa，at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice，” he'd say，“tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation(拯救) of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well...”he'd say. “Get the map；let's see where Nepal is.”And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders.Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input，affirming(肯定) our value，giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some
of the most famous educators. They were imparting(传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

(2015·浙江高考)From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they“know”all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth­grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started，I said to them.“Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me.Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，“Mr.Holt，do you really mean that？”I said just as seriously，“I mean every word of it.”
During the spring she really astonished me.One day，she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself，“It can't be，”and went to take a closer look.Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts.I said，“Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？”She answered，“Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is －an exciting，joyous adventure.Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to
something else.How different is our mean­spirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of“understanding”that can be dug out of a book.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

我们让年幼的孩子在老师和其他孩子面前朗读，以确定他们认识阅读中的所有单词。

但是，这样做会导致孩子们害怕阅读。

作者教了五年级的学生4年之后，决定改变这种现状，让学生通过快乐阅读培养一种良好的阅读习惯。

5．According to the passage，children's fear and dislike of books may result from ．
A．reading little and thinking little
B．reading often and adventurously
C．being made to read too much
D．being made to read aloud before others
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第一段中的When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children...This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone.可知，我们让年幼的孩子在老师和其他孩子面前朗读，朗读的过程中犯错误使得孩子们害怕读书，故选D项。

A项和C项在文中未提及；B项是作者通过尝试想达到的目标。

【答案】D
6．The teacher told his students to read ．
A．for enjoyment
B．for knowledge
C．for a larger vocabulary
D．for higher scores in exams
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第二段中的I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure.可知，作者希望他的学生今年多读书，想让他们读书仅仅是为了消遣，由此可知应选择A项。

B、C、D三项在文中未提及，也不是作者让他的学生读书的目的。

【答案】A
7．Upon hearing the teacher's talk，the children probably felt that ．
A．it sounded stupid
B．it was not surprising at all
C．it sounded too good to be true
D．it was no different from other teachers' talk
【解析】推理判断题。

第三段中的The children sat stunned and silent.(孩子们坐在那里，惊愕得哑然无声。

)是孩子们听到作者关于读书的想
法后的反应，故选C项，作者对读书的想法太好了，以至于学生们难以置信。

第三段描写的那个女孩的举动进一步印证了这种观点。

女孩是转学来的，感觉作者的想法不可思议，提出了自己的疑问，然后作者给出了肯定回答。

【答案】C
8．Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?
A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school 【解析】推理判断题。

由第四段中的I said，“Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？”She answered，“Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”可知，虽然女孩读的书有些部分有难度，但是女孩在阅读时，会跳过那些晦涩难懂的部分，选择容易理解的部分来阅读，故C项正确。

A项错在skipped over those easy parts，实际为跳过难懂的部分；B项错在had a hard time，实际是在阅读中感受到乐趣；D项在文中未提及。

【答案】C
C
One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood.Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores at home and so on.It's not easy.
The good news is that being likable can help a child perform better.Likable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to cope more easily with stresses of growing up.
In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr.Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likable and optimistic are able to gain support from others.This leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress；a child who has adequate emotional armor can continue down the path to success.Much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self­awareness.
Why does a likable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? Because likability helps create what's known as a positive feedback loop(反馈环)．The positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life.
This feedback loop continues into adulthood.To return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likable personality.Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likable teachers received good ratings because of their likability or because they in fact taught well.Delucchi found that “Students who perceive(察觉) a teacher as likable, in contrast to those who do not, may be more attentive to the information that the teacher delivers and they'll work harder on assignments, and they will learn more.”
You may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to give some advice.The more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words.
【语篇解读】可爱给人什么好处呢？可爱的孩子更容易得到别人的支持，从而更容易成功，也更能处理生活中的压力；可爱的老师更能受到学生的关注，从而教育效果会更好。

总之，一般来说，可爱的人会做得更成功。

9．The writer implies in the first paragraph
that .
A. children are expected more than we usually think
B．life is not easy for every one of us
C．better education results in smarter children
D．to be a likable child is almost impossible
【解析】推理判断题。

从第一段“Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores at home an d so on.”可知，尽管我们年轻，我们还是被期待取得好成绩，不惹麻烦，在校交友，考试成绩好，在家做家务事等等。

即可推断：大人总是期待小孩做很多很多事，故选A。

【答案】A
10．According to Dr.Leonard, likable children ．
A．can cope more easily with stress independently
B．know how to avoid trouble and unpleasant events
C．are always optimistic and ready to help those in need
D．can achieve more and understand themselves better
【解析】细节理解题。

从第三段可知，孩子的可爱可以促成“focus and resilience”，而“resilience”又有助于孩子“succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self­awareness(健康的自我意识)”，由此判断正确答案选D。

学生易误选A，从“children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others.”可知，孩子的可爱容
易得到别人的支持，而别人的支持才“leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress”，所以A项中的“independently”与文章内容是不符合的。

【答案】D
11．The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find ．
A．if a likable teacher has a positive personality
B．if a likable teacher draws more attention
C．how a teacher's likability gains popularity
D．how a likable teacher's teaching style is formed
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第五段“Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their likability or because they in fact taught well.”可判断B项正确。

【答案】B
12．The passage aims at proving that ．
A．likable people do better in life generally
B．likable people do better in their childhood
C．social creatures enjoy more advantages
D．likable people give better advice
【解析】推理判断题。

文章先从小孩的角度阐述“可爱”的作用，而后又从“老师”的角度说明“可爱”的意义，由此推断文章旨在说明：一般来说，可爱的人会做得更成功。

故选A。

【答案】A
D
(2016·山西四校高三联考)
Dear Friend，
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year...plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self­doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude (潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability：
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home­study cou rses on the basis of one­on­o ne training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely，
Kristi
Kristi Holl, Instructor

How to Make Friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self­worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 16 But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
1．Associate with others.
The first step to making friends is associating with other people.
17 Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
2．Start a conversation.
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 18 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.
3. 19
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together.Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.
4．Let it grow.
It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him
or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 20 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
5．Enjoy your friendship.
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. Try not to find fault with your friends. Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.

26．A.well­organized B．colorfully­printed

C．skills D．knowledge
【解析】根据前面的before people retire可知，他们要做自己原来没有“时间”做的事情，所以此处要用time。

【答案】A
38．A.only B．well C．even D．soon
【解析】soon after意为“不久”，也就是在他们退休后不久，所以此处要用soon。

【答案】D
39．A.lost B．chose C．left D．quit
