一、阅读选择
It was dangerously cold. A few drivers slipping and sliding off the road and back on again had cut deep ruts（车辙）in the mud. And the ruts became frozen solid. The drum of our truck’s aging engine worried us.
Trees and bushes heavy with snow bent to form an icy tunnel. We inched along the scary route as Howard grasped the steering wheel（方向盘）tightly, trying to keep the truck in the ruts. We were now riding through a nightmare with no going back. I kept praying the truck would not quit.
However, the engine’s coughing grew worse. We came to a bumping stop. Hot tears ran down my face. We noticed a small house off in the distance. “I will go for help.” Howard’s words ruined my common sense and panic took over. We would take the children — we would walk to that house together!
But the snow was deep, and our two children, asleep in the cab, were too heavy to carry. My husband convinced me to let him go alone. If no one was home or they didn’t answer the door, he would come back and we’d try to hike out to a main road. For now, it was safer in the truck. I wish I could say I have faith, but when he walked away, I was mad at the world.
It seemed as if hours had passed before I heard a familiar voice and a kind laugh of another man as they approached in the snow. The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting. Two wide-awake kids moved across the seat, ready for adventure. Their voices and laughter carried in the cold night air. When we finally got close, a cheerful woman opened the door. Warm air and the smell of hot buttered popcorn and chocolate drew us in.
Relieved, my prayers were heard!
1．What made the author worried after Howard left the truck?
A．Her being locked in the truck.
B．Howard’s failure to get the help.
C．Children’s fear in the freezing night.
D．The truck’s sudden move in the frozen mud.
2．What can we learn about the older couple from Paragraph 5?
A．They were willing to offer help.
B．They loved making friends with children.

3．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．A Scary Night B．Man’s Prayer

This day marks the rising of a new food startup, the first company to be financed entirely by the crowd, and of it every business thus relies on thousands of customers to grow. Lisa, 25, its main founder and CEO, believes it will be a path that will become increasingly popular, and ultimately will produce more thriving（繁荣的）businesses from the scratch.
“In the food industry, no venture capital (VC, 风险投资) will even look at you until you’ve hit a million in sales. As a fresh hand in business, unles s you’re independently wealthy, you will likely need to raise some money before then,” Lisa complained. So few businesses approached VC firms at the beginning. It was no exception with her. Thus, she turned to a new financing tool at hand, crowdfunding, to raise money from the crowd who’d like to take a bet on her company.
But for a company, it didn’t make sense to seek investments when all they had was an idea and a few months of consumer testing data. The food market is extremely competitive. No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new super food product founded by a bunch of twenty-somethings. “But we had a story. And crowds love stories.” Lisa said delightedly. So she put together an online crowdfunding campaign, explaining how she began working with this amazingly nutritious plant in the Peace Corps and then started selling it in the U.S. to support the poor in the West Africa.
On the online platform where they were to raise the money, a friend convinced them to change their goal from $20,000 to $50,000. Lisa stayed up all night
worrying they wouldn’t hit it. But they reached $24,000 in 24 hours and ended their funding with $53,000. Seeing the number, Lisa said, “Thank you! To my crowd and for your belief!”
4．Why couldn’t Lisa get investme nts in a traditional way?
A．She lacked confidence in business.
B．Her food company was in poor condition.
C．VC demanded too much in choosing partners.
D．Consumers were not satisfied with her new products.
5．According to the passage, crowdfunding ________.
A．ensures the investors a good return
B．aims to help badly managed companies
C．attracts more people to become investors
D．helps startups deal with money shortages
6．The underlined word “twenty-somethings” refers to ________.
A．twenty impractical ideas B．young people over twenty C．twenty inexperienced partners D．a company with twenty branches 7．Which of the following best explains Lisa’s success?
A．Great minds think alike.B．Honesty is the best policy. C．Many hands make light work.D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Rapid advances in a new technology will soon transform science fiction into reality —meaning people will have driverless cars, small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home, predicted Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the planet’s largest cell phone trade show.
Introduction of books available online, Internet translation of languages and voice recognition for computers all happened much faster than anyone could foresee and that technological research into even more previously unheard of advances is progressing at a fast speed.
“People who predict that holograms（全息图）and self-driving cars will become reality soon are absolutely right,”Schmidt told thousands of attendees. Research under way will lead to situations where people can put themselves at
events like a rock concert so that they can see, hear and even feel the event. And turn down the volume, if it’s too loud.
One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air. “It has an off button and it is here on the right,” Schmidt said. “My point is that it is all about your control. If you don’t like my version of a rock concert, I’m not forcing you to go.” In the future, small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn’t required, Schmidt said.
Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “With technology comes power and with power comes choice, and smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.
8．From the passage, the new technology _________.
A．largely depends on science fiction
B．will eventually replace humans’ presence
C．amazingly improves people’s social skills
D．can unexpectedly bring new various choices
9．Why did Schmidt give the example in Paragraph 4?
A．To list advantages of the new cell phone.
B．To advise a wider use of the new cell phone.
C．To remove people’s worry of the new technology.
D．To compare the benefits of using the new technology.
10．What’s the writer’s attitude toward rapid advances in technology? A．Objective.B．Negative.C．Uncared.
D．Contradictory.
二、七选五
Curiosity is an important characteristic of a genius. I don’t think you can find an intellectual giant who is not a curious person. Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, they are all curious characters. Richard Feynman was especially known for his adventures which came from his curiosity. 11．Here are four reasons:
It makes your mind active and strong.
12．Their minds are always active. Since the mind is like a muscle which becomes stronger through continual exercise, the mental exercise caused by curiosity makes your mind stronger and stronger.
It makes your mind observant of new ideas.
When you are curious about something, your mind expects new ideas related to it. When the ideas come they will soon be recognized. 13．This is because your mind is not prepared to recognize them. Just think, how many great ideas may have lost due to lack of curiosity? 14．
By being curious you will be able to see something new that is normally not visible. They are hidden behind the surface of normal life, and it takes a curious mind to look beneath the surface and discover the unknown.
It brings excitement into your life.
The life of curious people is far from boring. It’s neither dull nor routine. There are always new things that attract their attention and there are always new “toys” to play with.15．A．So is curiosity that important?
B．But why is curiosity so important?
C．It leads you to a new and exciting life.
D．It opens up new worlds and possibilities.
E.Curious people always ask questions and search for answers.
F.Rather than get bored, curious people have an adventurous life.
G.Without curiosity, the ideas may pass right in front of you and yet you miss them.

六、概要写作
47．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

With limited space for parks and gardens, architects and city planners often find it challenging to include greenery in neighborhoods in cities. One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls and rooftops. It’s a popular idea, and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been sprouting up （大量冒出） in cities around the world.
There are many benefits of having green spaces to the urban landscape. Adding gardens to rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment —what was once a gray cement（水泥） wall can become a colorful, blooming garden. The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is a famous example —one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species. In other cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to decorate the lobbies of office buildings.
Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer. Buildings and roads absorb the sun’s heat and hold it, causing a building or neighborhood to stay warmer longer. Plants, on the other hand, provide an enormous amount of shade. There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building’s energy costs.
In New York City, public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs. In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value —it’s a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them. “For the children, it’s exciting when you grow something edible（可食用的）,” said Lauren Fontana, principal of a New York public school.
Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain. However, hard work always brings rewards, and with green spaces, the rewards are plentiful.

3．D
【分析】
本篇文章讲述作者一家人在一个很冷的雪天里开车回家。

由于天气冷，雪很深，加上卡车老化，无法回家。

在此时路边的一家人热情地帮助了我们。

1．B推理判断题。

从第四段中“My husband …If no one was home or they didn’t answer the door, he would come back and we’d try to hike out to a main road.” 作者丈夫说假如那所房子没有人，或者他们不开门（提供帮助）的话，他会回来，他们就徒步走到大路上，故推测作者害怕霍华德得不到帮助。

故B符合。

2．A推理判断题。

倒数第二段“我听到了一个熟悉的声音和另一个善良的笑声走近。

那个年长的人邀请我们去他家。

他妻子正在房子等候……当我们终于接近时，一个欢快的女人打开了门。

温暖的空气和热奶油爆米花和巧克力的香味吸引了我们。

”所以这家人是愿意帮助他们的。

故选A。

3．D主旨大意题。

文章第二段中描述当时的情形如此严重。

作者认为他们正在经历一场没有回头路的噩梦时，“I kept praying the truck would not quit.”最后一段“Relieved, my prayers were heard!”，由这两点推断出作者不断地祈祷，终于让上帝听到了，让这家人帮助了作者一家。

故D项是最佳标题。

【名师点睛】
推理判断题的常见考查形式及解题方法：
推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。

此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

一、常见的推理判断题的考点：
1)推测作者写作目的或意图。

2)根据用词风格，推断情感态度。

3)根据写作思路，推断段落发展。

4根据事实细节，推断合理信息。

推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定
判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。

推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。

也就是说，要做到判断有据，推论有理，忠实原文。

切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

例如：本题中的第2小题就是根据事实细节，做出合理的推断。

此题属于推理判断题中的（4）根据事实细节，推断合理信息。

答案需要从文章倒数第二段中推理。

【答案定位】倒数第二段中“The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting” “When we finally got close, a cheerful woman opened the door.” ，进行推断，男子邀请我们去他家，那儿他的妻子正在家里等候。

当我们走近时，妻子欢快地打开房门，可知他们对我们是欢迎的。

也是想帮助我们的。

【推理关系】题干“What can we learn about the older c ouple from Paragraph 5?”文章内容“The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting. Two wide-awake kids moved across the seat, ready for adventure. Their voices and laughter carried in the cold night air. When we finally got close, a cheerful woman opened the door.”
They were willing to offer help.他们愿意提供帮助。

答案A项。

4．C
5．D
6．B
7．C
【分析】
文章讲述了一个年轻人丽莎，以一种众筹的方式筹集到一笔资金开创了自己的食品公司。

4．C细节判断题。

根据文章第二段中丽莎的话“在食品行业，只有你的销售额达到一百万，否则的话没有风险资本（VC、风险投资）会光顾你。

作为一个新手，除非你非常富有，否则的话你只能在这之前自己筹集到一笔资金。

”从中可知，VC在选择伙伴时要求很高。

故选Ｃ。

5．D细节理解题。

第二段“she turned to a new financing tool at hand, crowdfunding, to raise money from the crowd who’d like to take a bet on her company.”及下文“The food market is extremely competitive. No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new super food
product founded by a bunch of twenty-somethings.”可知，众筹资金帮助解决了资金短缺的问题。

故选D。

6．B猜测词义题。

在第二段最后一句“So few businesses approached VC firms at the beginning. It was no exception with her. Thus, she turned to a new financing tool at hand, crowdfunding, to raise money from the crowd who’d like to take a bet on her company.”和下段中“No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new super food product founded by a bunch of
twenty-somethings.”其中，the crowd与a bunch of 是同义词组。

由此可知“twenty-somethings”是一群20多岁的年轻人。

故选B。

7．C推理判断题。

文中的第二段“she turned to a new financing tool at hand, crowdfunding, to raise money from the crowd who’d like to take a bet on her company”第三段“No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new superfood product founded by a bunch of
twenty-somethings.”及最后一段在网上发了个帖子来筹集资金，最终筹集到$53,000，最后
丽莎说：“Thank you! To my crowd and for your belief!”可知，是众人的帮助她完成梦想。

故选C。

8．D
9．C
10．A
【分析】
新技术方面的快速发展很快将科幻变成现实。

比如会出现无人驾驶的汽车，由人操纵的智能机器人，不出门就能知晓大事件。

但这不会让人害怕，因为这一切都由你控制。

8．D细节理解题。

文章最后一段中的Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “With technology comes power and with power comes choice, and smart resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.可知，新技术会重新定位世界上人们之间的关系，技术带来的力量也会带来更多的新的选择，聪明的、有能力的人会要求更好的生活。

故选D项。

9．C细节理解题。

第四段第一句“One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air.”可知，一位与会者表示，她很害怕这种可能性是非人性的，但施密特通过把手机举到空中来回答。

所以施密特是用举例来消除人们对新科技和担忧。

故选C项。

10．A推理判断题。

通读全文可知，作者在文中只是客观地描述，未加个人的议论，所以是客观的。

故选A。

11．B
12．E
13．G
14．D
15．F
【分析】
好奇心是天才的一个重要特征。

好奇心如此重要是因为好奇心使你的思维活跃而坚强，它使你的头脑敏锐，领悟到新思想，它开辟了新的世界和可能性，它给你的生活带来兴奋。

11．B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本段中说好奇心是天才的一个重要特征。

最后一句又列举好奇心的重要的四个理由。

而且Why…？这种问句一般用reasons来回答的。

B
项是why is curiosity so important? 因此选B。

12．E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本段的主题句是“It makes your mind active and strong.”，再根据空格后一句Their minds are always active.，联系生活常识，头脑要保持积
极的状态就要不停问问题，寻找答案。

即E项符合。

13．G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本段最后一句“Just think, how many great ideas may have lost due to lack of curiosity?（想想看，由于缺乏好奇心，可能会丢失多少伟大的想法？）”所以与G（Without curiosity, the ideas may pass right in front of you）一致。

14．D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本段句意：由于好奇，你可以看到一些通常不可见的新事物（new world）。

它们隐藏在正常生活的表面，需要好奇的头脑透过表面寻找
未知的东西。

由此可推断D项It opens up new worlds and possibilities.概括本段内容。

15．F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本段的主题句“It brings excitement into your life.”本段的首句“The life of curious people is far from boring. It’s neither dull nor routine. There are always new things that attract their attention and there are always new “toys” to play with.”可知，有好奇心的生活不会无聊，总会有很多东西吸引他们的注意力，还总是会有新的玩法。

由此可推断出好奇心的人不会无聊，而且有冒险的生活。

F项符合。

【分析】
著名小提琴家Itzhak Perlman在台上演出时，突然他的琴弦断了。

但他并没有停下来反而示意指挥重新开始。

那晚他用只有三根琴弦的小提琴，完成了一次伟大的演出，让人为之惊叹。

36．achievement考查名词。

作为一个患小儿麻痹症的孩子来说，走上舞台是一个不小的成就。

正当他完成第一部分时，其中的一根弦断了。

整篇文章是讲述过去发生的事，所以要用一般过去时，故用broke。

40．Instead/ Actually考查副词。

从本题的前后意思判断是转折关系，故可以用instead/actually。

41．Powerful考查形容词作状语。

他等了一会儿，闭上眼睛，接着示意指挥重新开始。

他的表演强大而又纯洁，吸引了所有人的注意力。

_6____ (power) and pure, his performance attracted…与后面的形容词pure并列，故此处也用形容词形式，故填powerful。

【名师点睛】形容词作状语
一、形容词作状语的主要功能。

形容词的主要功能是用作定语和表语，但有时也可用作状语。

形容词作状语表示原因、时间、伴随情况或结果，并不表达动词的方式。

大多与主句用逗号隔开，可置于句首、句中或句末。

如：
He lay in bed, awake. 他躺在床上，没有睡着。

（表伴随）
Tom arrived home, hungry and tired. 他回到家里，又饿又累。

（表结果）
Unable to afford the time, I couldn’t help you. 由于抽不出时间，我不能帮你。

（表原因）1、形容词用作状语的特点是，该形容词的逻辑主语就是句子主语，并且通常可以用并列句或主从复合句。

He lay in bed and he was awake.
Tom arrived home and he was hungry and tired.
Because I was unable to afford the time, I co uldn’t help you.
2、形容词作状语表示承上启下性状语。

有些形容词在某些固定结构中可用作独立成分，起承上启下的作用（也可视为一种状语）。

如：
Sure enough, she was there. 果然她在那里。

More important, he’s got a steady job. 更重要的是他得到了一个稳定的工作
二、形容词作状语的位置。

1、形容词(短语)置于句首常作原因状语。

Helpless, we watched our home destroyed before our eyes.
我们束手无策,只能眼睁睁地看着自己的家园被毁掉.
2、形容词(短语)置于句末常作伴随状语或方式状语
The goat rolled over, dead. 那只山羊翻了下去,死了
3、形容词(短语)还可以作时间状语
Ripe, these apples are sweet. 这些苹果熟了的时候很甜.
42．it考查形式主语。

当然，任何人相信仅用三根琴弦是不可能演奏出那么和谐的作品。

“____7____ impossible to play a harmonious work with just three strings”本句中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to play a harmonious work with just three strings。

英语中常用it作形式主语。

43．to know考查固定用法。

句意：我知道，你知道的，但是那天晚上Itzhak Perlman拒绝知道。

refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事。

44．Smiling考查非谓语作伴随状语。

__9____ (smile), he wiped the sweat and said（他微笑着，他擦了一把汗说：……）。

本句的主语是he，谓语动词是wiped。

smile的逻辑主语是he，两者的关系是主动关系，要用现在分词作状语，所以要用smiling。

45．what考查宾语从句。

句意：有时候艺术家的任务是找出你还能用剩下的东西做多少音乐。

it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with ____10____ you have left.”本句中介词with后有一个宾语从句，从句中left 缺少宾语，根据句意，要用what来引导。

46．One Possible Version:
Dear James,
Glad to share with you my latest participation in School Poetry Conference. Basically, the activity aims to offer us a further approach into Chinese poetry and help us form a better understanding of the traditional Chinese culture.
