AAs the summer season heats up, some people like to take a dip into the ocean or the pools, and others like to dip into their summer reading.Here are some titles to get you started whether you are on the beach or just wish you were.What I Remember Most by Cathy LambGrenadine is falsely accused of a crime.Her exhusband is unwilling to exonerate (使免罪) her unless she comes back to him.Grenadine leaves Portland and takes off for the mountains of central Oregon.In Pineridge, the collage artist and painter begins a new life, with new friends and high hopes that her old life doesn't catch up with her.Dear Carolina by Kristy Woodson HarveyDear Carolina is a heartwarming story written to baby Carolina by both her birth mother and her adoptive one.A tale of female friendship and family bonds, Dear Carolina is the right choice of humor, heart and romance for getting through a day on the beach.This is a story that proves families aren't born but are made.French Coast by Anita HughesSet on the beautiful Cote D'Azur, French Coast is the best beach read.Filled with descriptions of the gorgeous clothes and locations found in Cannes, you will feel like you are walking along the Boulevard de la Croisette or sitting in a beach chair on La Plage.Fugitive Colors by Lisa BarrHow far would you go for your passion？Fugitive Colors is a tale of friends, and the betrayal on the“eve”of the WWⅡ.Twists and turns, and loss and hope will keep the pages turning as you journey from Chicago to Paris and Berlin to New York.The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E．ReichertThe Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a delightful novel about a talented chef and the food critic who brings down her restaurant.Their accidental meeting turns into a sweet romance of mistaken identities.1．Grenadine leaves Portland and runs all the way to Pineridge because she ________．A．is accused of a crime not done by herB．doesn't want to see her husbandC．really looks forward to a new lifeD．has broken the law and has to escape2．Whose book should you read if you want to read a moving story of a family?A．Kristy Woodson Harvey's.B．Anita Hughes'.C．Cathy Lamb's.D．Lisa Barr's.3．The author thinks French Coast is the best beach read because it's ________．A．very fun to readB．extremely relaxingC．set on the Cote D'AzurD．not long and can be finished soonBI did an experiment by talking to strangers recently.Here are some things I experienced during the experiment.On October 9th, while visiting my family hometown for a wedding, I met a man sitting on the side of the hotel pool.We started talking.It turned out that he had just moved to the area with his family from Chicago.I told him what I knew about the community, the schools, and particular neighborhoods where he was looking to buy a house.He was grateful to me for my information.The interaction made me feel useful and valuable.On May 20th, we had three men from a tree trimming(修剪) company visiting our house to cut back our trees.Normally, I would let them work outside without engaging them in conversation.This time, after they finished their work, I asked one of the tree trimmers, only halfjoking, if they fell off trees frequently.One of the tree trimmers said thathe had been climbing trees for 27 years and reported he had fallen out of a tree once and hurt his knee.I loved that conversation.I didn't always talk to someone whose job was to climb up trees, but it was interesting for learning about how they did it.I also realized I learned something new.On May 30th, I went to an outdoor block party on Friday night, along with my wife and our 3monthold baby.Our baby was wearing oversized noisecancelling headphones that truly looked pretty ridiculous on a baby.When I tried to talk with others, they immediately started talking with me after seeing the baby.I found it was almost very easy to start talking with people when you had a baby with you.All in all, I felt great about most of my interactions with strangers.Almost every interaction left me feeling a little happier.I also felt I learned new things by talking to people from different walks of life who I wouldn't normally meet.4．The man was grateful to the author because ________．A．he made his first friend thereB．he gained some useful informationC．the author helped him kill the timeD．the author helped him make a decision5．The tree trimmer who talked with the author ________．A．didn't like talking to strangersB．was a respectable workerC．wasn't a very careful manD．got injured once at work6．What did the author probably learn from the experience on May 30th?A．Babies are great conversation starters.B．It's inconvenient to go out with a baby.C．People love looking at ridiculous babies.D．It's not challenging to talk with strangers.7．At this experiment, the author most probably found it ________．A．useless B．excitingC．rewarding D．embarrassingCEvery year, my son and I visit the Art Institute in Chicago for a day. This past spring, as we were walking in the halls, we came across an exhibit of furniture from the past 50 years. I watched my son's eyes grow wide as we walked through. Afterwards, he looked at me and said, “Mom, I get it now. A couch can be a work of art! A chair can be a work of art！” It was a really neat moment because he came to that realization completely on his own. And my son is a good example of why kids should be exposed to art.Many parents think exposing their children to art is a waste of time. But I think this is a wrong idea. Children can learn a lot of things through studying art.Even at a very young age, children can appreciate works of art. They enjoy looking at pictures of fruit, flowers, animals, and other popular artistic subjects. Bright colors and sharp contrasts (对照) are inspiring obviously and aid in brain development.Older kids begin to notice that art has the meaning beyond the images themselves. As they observe the feelings and emotions that works of art cause, they will see how art can be a way of expression for themselves, too. Studies show that exposure to great art increases a child's verbal ability, expressiveness, reasoning and logical thinking as a child seeks understanding.Besides strengthening their verbal and analytical (分析的) skills, studying art can teach children about design, color, shading, shadows, lighting, composition, and various artistic skills. Also, I find that children begin to view the world around them from an artist's perspective (角度)．Luckily, art is all around us. Parents can encourage their kids to appreciate a book of a lovely building, an artfully composed photograph, a handpainted vase, or even a beautifully designed website. Once they start looking, they will find art everywhere and learn many things from it.8．The author introduces the topic of the text through telling ________．A．a story of her sonB．what she realized one dayC．her son's attitude toward artD．about the Art Institute in Chicago9．Which of the following benefits of looking at art works is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．Leading to a better oral ability.B．Leading to a better reasoning ability.C．Helping them get along well with others.D．Helping them gain better logical thinking.10．According to Paragraph 5, what benefit can children get from studying art?A．Allowing them to look at things from various perspectives.B．Benefiting their study at school later in life.C．Encouraging them to seek understanding.D．Enabling them to look at things like artists.11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why kids love art works.B．Why kids should study art.C．Why art is useful in our life.D．Why art can teach kids things.DTwo volcanic islands recently born in the Red Sea have yielded surprising images, providing scientis ts with new insight about a littleknown rift (裂缝) in the Earth's crust.Both islands appeared in the Zubair Archipelago, a small chain of volcanic islands, owned by Yemen, which rise from the Red Sea between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.The first of the new islands，now called Sholan Island, appeared in December 2011.The second island, called Jadid, appeared in September 2013.The Red Sea is a huge crack in the Earth's crust called a rift, where the African and Arabian tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates are tearing apart at about 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) per year.At a rift, the crust stretches apart slowly over centuries, like a piece of taffy candy, but it also sometimes suddenly splits when the strain (张力) becomes too great.Two volcanic eruptions formed these islands in the Red Sea.The two eruptions were followed by many small earthquakes caused by magma (岩浆) squeezing through long and narrow cracks in the Earth's crust.The cracks that are filled with magma are called dikes, and are at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) long.The islands both are less than 0.6 miles (1 km) wide.When the molten (熔化的) rock finally broke through to the seafloor, violent steam explosions threw lava into the air.The tiny, sand size lava pieces built up the islands.Over time，the pieces became a hard rock similar to the sandstone.Waves have since eaten away about 30 percent of Sholan Island, the first to erupt.Similar earthquakes have taken place in the region for years.The shaking could mean that magma had been running underground for up to a decade before the volcanic islands emerged．The new islands are far from towns and villages, and are unlikely to disrupt air traffic with large ash explosions.Ships passing over the Gulf of Suez can also easily avoid the islands.12．It's implied that over the years the Red Sea ________．A．experienced no great strainB．experienced no earthquakesC．became larger little by littleD．became the world's largest crack13．Which of the following statements about the first of the new islands is TRUE?A．It was formed about two years ago.B．It is far from the Arabian Peninsula.C．It is 30% smaller than when it was first made.D．It's the first volcanic island in the Zubair Archipelago.14．What does the u nderlined word “emerged” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．Broke. B．Changed.C．Suffered. D．Appeared.15．The last paragraph is meant to show that the new islands ________．A．won't threaten human activitiesB．may experience large ash explosionsC．are of no use to residents nearbyD．may threaten transportation near themⅡ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to hi s sleepy tenthgrade English class that a person could not have a “complicated(复杂的) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”.“Mor e than anything else in my life，” the professor told the reporter with_finality,_“these books have made meall that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore(忽视). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While readingPlato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信)of a schoolboy，I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reachedthe last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic，and seriously crossed Plato off my list.21. On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________.A. one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD. students ought to make a list of the books they had read答案与解析：A 考查推理判断能力。

AAs the summer season heats up, some people like to take a dip into the ocean or the pools, and others like to dip into their summer reading.Here are some titles to get you started whether you are on the beach or just wish you were.What I Remember Most by Cathy LambGrenadine is falsely accused of a crime.Her exhusband is unwilling to exonerate (使免罪) her unless she comes back to him.Grenadine leaves Portland and takes off for the mountains of central Oregon.In Pineridge, the collage artist and painter begins a new life, with new friends and high hopes that her old life doesn't catch up with her.Dear Carolina by Kristy Woodson HarveyDear Carolina is a heartwarming story written to baby Carolina by both her birth mother and her adoptive one.A tale of female friendship and family bonds, Dear Carolina is the right choice of humor, heart and romance for getting through a day on the beach.This is a story that proves families aren't born but are made.French Coast by Anita HughesSet on the beautiful Cote D'Azur, French Coast is the best beach read.Filled with descriptions of the gorgeous clothes and locations found in Cannes, you will feel like you are walking along the Boulevard de la Croisette or sitting in a beach chair on La Plage.Fugitive Colors by Lisa BarrHow far would you go for your passion？Fugitive Colors is a tale of friends, and the betrayal on the“eve”of the WWⅡ.Twists and turns, and loss and hope will keep the pages turning as you journey from Chicago to Paris and Berlin to New York.The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E．ReichertThe Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a delightful novel about a talented chef and the food critic who brings down her restaurant.Their accidental meeting turns into a sweetromance of mistaken identities.1．Grenadine leaves Portland and runs all the way to Pineridge because she ________．A．is accused of a crime not done by herB．doesn't want to see her husbandC．really looks forward to a new lifeD．has broken the law and has to escape2．Whose book should you read if you want to read a moving story of a family?A．Kristy Woodson Harvey's.B．Anita Hughes'.C．Cathy Lamb's.D．Lisa Barr's.3．The author thinks French Coast is the best beach read because it's ________．A．very fun to readB．extremely relaxingC．set on the Cote D'AzurD．not long and can be finished soonBI did an experiment by talking to strangers recently.Here are some things I experienced during the experiment.On October 9th, while visiting my family hometown for a wedding, I met a man sitting on the side of the hotel pool.We started talking.It turned out that he had just moved to the area with his family from Chicago.I told him what I knew about the community, the schools, and particular neighborhoods where he was looking to buy a house.He was grateful to me for my information.The interaction made me feel useful and valuable.On May 20th, we had three men from a tree trimming(修剪) company visiting our house to cut back our trees.Normally, I would let them work outside without engaging them in conversation.This time, after they finished their work, I asked one of the tree trimmers, only halfjoking, if they fell off trees frequently.One of the tree trimmers said that he had been climbing trees for 27 years and reported he had fallen out of a tree once and hurt his knee.I loved that conversation.I didn't always talk to someone whose jobwas to climb up trees, but it was interesting for learning about how they did it.I also realized I learned something new.On May 30th, I went to an outdoor block party on Friday night, along with my wife and our 3monthold baby.Our baby was wearing oversized noisecancelling headphones that truly looked pretty ridiculous on a baby.When I tried to talk with others, they immediately started talking with me after seeing the baby.I found it was almost very easy to start talking with people when you had a baby with you.All in all, I felt great about most of my interactions with strangers.Almost every interaction left me feeling a little happier.I also felt I learned new things by talking to people from different walks of life who I wouldn't normally meet.4．The man was grateful to the author because ________．A．he made his first friend thereB．he gained some useful informationC．the author helped him kill the timeD．the author helped him make a decision5．The tree trimmer who talked with the author ________．A．didn't like talking to strangersB．was a respectable workerC．wasn't a very careful manD．got injured once at work6．What did the author probably learn from the experience on May 30th?A．Babies are great conversation starters.B．It's inconvenient to go out with a baby.C．People love looking at ridiculous babies.D．It's not challenging to talk with strangers.7．At this experiment, the author most probably found it ________．A．useless B．excitingC．rewarding D．embarrassingCEvery year, my son and I visit the Art Institute in Chicago for a day. This pastspring, as we were walking in the halls, we came across an exhibit of furniture from the past 50 years. I watched my son's eyes grow wide as we walked through. Afterwards, he looked at me and said, “Mom, I get it now. A couch can be a work of art! A chair can be a work of art！” It was a really neat moment because he came to that realization completely on his own. And my son is a good example of why kids should be exposed to art.Many parents think exposing their children to art is a waste of time. But I think this is a wrong idea. Children can learn a lot of things through studying art.Even at a very young age, children can appreciate works of art. They enjoy looking at pictures of fruit, flowers, animals, and other popular artistic subjects. Bright colors and sharp contrasts (对照) are inspiring obviously and aid in brain development.Older kids begin to notice that art has the meaning beyond the images themselves. As they observe the feelings and emotions that works of art cause, they will see how art can be a way of expression for themselves, too. Studies show that exposure to great art increases a child's verbal ability, expressiveness, reasoning and logical thinking as a child seeks understanding.Besides strengthening their verbal and analytical (分析的) skills, studying art can teach children about design, color, shading, shadows, lighting, composition, and various artistic skills. Also, I find that children begin to view the world around them from an artist's perspective (角度)．Luckily, art is all around us. Parents can encourage their kids to appreciate a book of a lovely building, an artfully composed photograph, a handpainted vase, or even a beautifully designed website. Once they start looking, they will find art everywhere and learn many things from it.8．The author introduces the topic of the text through telling ________．A．a story of her sonB．what she realized one dayC．her son's attitude toward artD．about the Art Institute in Chicago9．Which of the following benefits of looking at art works is NOT mentioned inParagraph 4?A．Leading to a better oral ability.B．Leading to a better reasoning ability.C．Helping them get along well with others.D．Helping them gain better logical thinking.10．According to Paragraph 5, what benefit can children get from studying art?A．Allowing them to look at things from various perspectives.B．Benefiting their study at school later in life.C．Encouraging them to seek understanding.D．Enabling them to look at things like artists.11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why kids love art works.B．Why kids should study art.C．Why art is useful in our life.D．Why art can teach kids things.DTwo volcanic islands recently born in the Red Sea have yielded surprising images, providing scientis ts with new insight about a littleknown rift (裂缝) in the Earth's crust.Both islands appeared in the Zubair Archipelago, a small chain of volcanic islands, owned by Yemen, which rise from the Red Sea between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.The first of the new islands，now called Sholan Island, appeared in December 2011.The second island, called Jadid, appeared in September 2013.The Red Sea is a huge crack in the Earth's crust called a rift, where the African and Arabian tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates are tearing apart at about 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) per year.At a rift, the crust stretches apart slowly over centuries, like a piece of taffy candy, but it also sometimes suddenly splits when the strain (张力) becomes too great.Two volcanic eruptions formed these islands in the Red Sea.The two eruptions were followed by many small earthquakes caused by magma (岩浆) squeezing through long andnarrow cracks in the Earth's crust.The cracks that are filled with magma are called dikes, and are at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) long.The islands both are less than 0.6 miles (1 km) wide.When the molten (熔化的) rock finally broke through to the seafloor, violent steam explosions threw lava into the air.The tiny, sand size lava pieces built up the islands.Over time，the pieces became a hard rock similar to the sandstone.Waves have since eaten away about 30 percent of Sholan Island, the first to erupt.Similar earthquakes have taken place in the region for years.The shaking could mean that magma had been running underground for up to a decade before the volcanic islands emerged．The new islands are far from towns and villages, and are unlikely to disrupt air traffic with large ash explosions.Ships passing over the Gulf of Suez can also easily avoid the islands.12．It's implied that over the years the Red Sea ________．A．experienced no great strainB．experienced no earthquakesC．became larger little by littleD．became the world's largest crack13．Which of the following statements about the first of the new islands is TRUE?A．It was formed about two years ago.B．It is far from the Arabian Peninsula.C．It is 30% smaller than when it was first made.D．It's the first volcanic island in the Zubair Archipelago.14．What does the u nderlined word “emerged” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．Broke. B．Changed.C．Suffered. D．Appeared.15．The last paragraph is meant to show that the new islands ________．A．won't threaten human activitiesB．may experience large ash explosionsC．are of no use to residents nearbyD．may threaten transportation near themⅡ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children. As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.1．The underlined word “harmonious” most probably means________.A．Competitive B．friendly and peaceful C．original D．sensitive2．People from Asia are more private in their conversation with others because________.A．they don't want to have their good relationship with others harmedB．they don't want to share their feelings with othersC．they don't want to talk much with othersD．they are afraid to argue with their others3．The writer thinks politics and religion are ________for business.A．cheerful topics B．Taboos C．rude topics D．wise topics4．Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?A．Sports. B．Children. C．Personal feelings. D．Families.5．What should you do when talking about sports with your partner from another country?A．Praise your own country's sports.B．Criticize your own country's sports.C．Praise the sports of your partner's country.D．Criticize the sports of your partner's country.BSmall talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well, you cannot be sure who their friends are.
