一、阅读理解
It was always very cold on that lake shore in the night, but we had plenty of blankets and were warm enough. We never moved a muscle all night, but waked at early dawn in the original positions, and got up at once, thoroughly refreshed. There is no end of medicine in such an experience. That morning we could have defeated ten such people as we were the day before—sick ones at any rate. But the world is slow, and p eople will go to “water cures” and “movement cures” and to foreign lands for health. Three months of camp life on Lake Tahoe would bring back Egyptian mummy to life, and give him a healthy appetite. I do not mean the oldest and driest mummies, of course, but fresher ones. The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine. And why shouldn’t it be? —it is the same the angels breathe. I think that hardly any amount of tiredness can be gathered together that a man cannot sleep off in one night on the sand by its side. Not under a roof, but under the sky; it seldom or never rains there in the summertime. I know a man who went there to die. But he made a failure of it. He was a skeleton (骨瘦如柴的人) when he came, and could barely stand. He had no appetite, and did nothing but read tracts (小册子) and reflect on the future. Three months later he was sleeping out of doors regularly, eating all he could hold, three times a day, and hunting game over the mountains three thousand feet high for fun. And he was a skeleton no longer, but weighed part of a ton. This is no fancy sketch, but the truth. His disease was consumption. I confidently recommend his experience to other skeletons.
—Mark Twain

It could have been any of us, but it happened to be me. I received a brief 18-months of undivided attention and love as the only child, before three more appeared. The second was a severe blow. No doubt, learning the need to share was important, but I had tasted the life of an only child.
Then came years of requests to look after the siblings(兄弟姐妹), being urged that, you should be setting a better example, “Again and again the others got away with doing wrong but I didn’t. We each played our roles; the second one who later skipped school to meet boys; the ever so attractive third, the boy who could do no wrong; and finally the surprise appearance of the fourth, seemed certain to be spoiled even now. So that left me: the reasonable, quiet one who got the grades, did the housework and became a chameleon(变色龙)—skilled at reading a situation and being what was needed.
Then eventually came the chance to be the first to leave and experience life on the outside, not defined(定义) as the eldest. The moment I had waited for. But now, many years later, being the eldest matters again. It’s down to me; it seem s, to take the lead in caring for our parents. All the time I was made to learn about sharing; however, when it comes to responsibility, it no longer seems to apply. The others are too busy, too far away, or too unconcerned. So dutifully I travel many times across the country for hours to provide care and support. Requests to my siblings to help out more fall on deaf ears. To me, the dutiful first born, it feels like the right and only thing to do; to be there for our parents as they were for us. Sadly, tha t feeling isn’t shared by the second, third or fourth.

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from d oing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who ＂ruined＂ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
9．What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped working.
B. A woman blocked her view.
C. Someone asked her to leave.

A. The rich color of the landscape.
B. The perfect positioning of the camera.

D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
12．The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________.
A. the need to be close to nature
B. the importance of private space
C. the joy of the vacation in Italy

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should
still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immed iate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.
14．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers, environmental awareness.
15．The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.
A. affect
B. change
C. disturb
D. reject
16．According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
17．We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A. have a strong desire to reduce costs
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
It was t he men’s skating finals of the Winter Olympics when I was 16. Someday I’d be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.
That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally I was for Brian Boitano, a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I’ll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalist. He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought…I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.
I loved skating partly because I didn’t have to talk. I could express myse lf with my jump sand dances better. I didn’t have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes.
I was sure I’d make a fool of myself.
The next day I was at the rink (溜冰场) as usual. I was practising a combination of jumps that had once seemed impossible. I worked very hard the next few years—on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brian’s, I was ready.
Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.
Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step. 18．What information can we get from the second paragraph?
A. The author lived a hard life.
B. The author comes from Canada.
C. The author once skated with Orser.
D. The author wished Boitano to win the match.
19．What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage?
A. She could build up her body to be healthier.
B. It could help her to get closer to her idol.
C. She could better express herself with body language.
D. The possibility of her being a world champion was great.
20．What the author felt the most satisfied with is that .
A. she reached her coach’s expectations
B. she became a world champion as planned
C. she managed to overcome her inner fear eventually
D. she handled the balance between her career and life
21．What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. Face a fear bravely.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Bad times make a good man.
D. Failure is the mother of success.
The noise of chattering mouths subsided（平息）as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning clas s. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for pres erving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my
children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life. Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. .
22．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The writer traveled a lot.
B. Mrs Monaf was a learned person.
C. The writer did well at school.
D. Mrs Monaf enjoyed telling stories.
23．The underlined word “rubbed off” means .

A. Mrs. Monaf was an optimistic person.
B. Breast cancer made Mrs. Monaf upset.
C. Another great person may appear in my life.
D. Praying for Mrs. Monaf made the writer tremble.
25．What would be the best title for the passage?

B. The Teacher-student Friendship
C. An Influential Person in My Life
D. Brave Fight Against Breast Cancer

1．主旨大意题。

这篇文章主要讲了太浩湖适宜人们居住，能改善人们的健康，故C选项为最佳标题。

2．推理判断题。

根据文中Three months of camp life on Lake Tahoe would bring back Egyptian mummy to life, and give him a healthy appetite. I do not mean the oldest and driest mummies, of course, but fresher ones.（太浩湖三个月的露营生活将使埃及木乃伊复活，给他一个健康的食欲。

我不是指最古老和最干燥的木乃伊，当然是新鲜的木乃伊。

）以及I know a man who went there to die. But he made a failure of it. He was a skeleton (骨瘦如柴的人) when he came, and could barely stand. He had no appetite, and did nothing but read tracts (小册子) and reflect on the future. Three months later he was sleeping out of doors regularly, eating all he could hold, three times a day, and hunting game over the mountains three thousand feet high for fun. And he was a skeleton no longer, but weighed part of a ton.可知，作者在文中用木乃伊和一个想要去太浩湖寻死结果不但没死而且比之前更健康的故事来告诉人们太浩湖的神奇之处，作者的这种写作风格体现出他幽默风趣，并根据文中I do not mean the oldest and driest mummies, of course, but fresher ones.和And he was a skeleton no longer, but weighed part of a ton.可知，他用夸张的言语说明他写该文章用的语言是偏娱乐性的。

A. determined有决心的；B. persuasive劝说的；
C. homesick病态的；
D. entertaining娱乐的。

故D选项正确。

3．推理判断题。

由该句前面的The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine.可知，越靠近上空，空气越清新，而天使通常是在上空的，所以这里指的是海拔很高。

A选项正确。

4．推理判断题。

文中提到木乃伊前面的一句people will go to “water cures” and “movement cures” and to foreign lands for health.讲到，这些患有疾病的人去其他的地方寻求健康。

紧接着作者讲到三个月的太浩湖的生活使木乃伊恢复生机，也就是暗指在太浩湖野营的人们得以康复健康。

所以作者把那些有疾病的人比做木乃伊。

故B选项正确。

5．C
6．C
7．A
8．D
【解析】本文为夹叙夹议文。

作者作为家中四个孩子中的老大，从小被要求照顾小的，给兄妹树立好的榜样。

父母老了，第一个关心照顾父母，认为照顾父母是自己的责任，但是其他的兄妹却只一味地推脱照顾老人的责任，这让作者深感遗憾。

5．推理判断题。

根据第二段中的描述，作者的三兄弟姐妹相继出生后自己要为他们树立好的榜样，其他的人犯错不被处罚而我不能，描述老二用“逃学见男友”（skipped school to meet boys），老三”迷人的（attractive）男孩，老四的出生是个“surprise”，而且一直被宠坏（spoiled）了。

这一切的一切让我成为一个明白道理的、安静的成绩好的，做家务的，擅长做一切的人。

由此可推断出作者所用语言有点苦涩但风趣。

分析选项可知C项符合文意，故选C项。

6．细节理解题。

根据第二段第一句“Then came years of requests to look after the siblings（兄弟姐妹）, being urged that, You should be setting a better example,”（接下来是多年来被要求照顾兄弟姐妹，被敦促树立一个好的榜样。

），根据常识这一切该是孩子的父母要求大的孩子照顾小的，要求大的给小的做榜样。

故选C项。

7．猜测词义题。

分析To me, the dutiful first born, it feels like the right and only thing to do; to be there for our parents as they were for us.本句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to do; to be there for our parents as they were for us.，即对我来说，第一个出生的一直尽职尽责的我，因为父母曾养育了我们，我们要照顾他们，这是正确的唯一要做的事。

由此可知it指的是照顾老人。

故选A。

8．推理判断题。

根据最后一段可知，作者对父母尽心尽力地照顾，而其他的兄弟姐妹却置之不理，推脱责任，他们认为这只是我应该做的事。

作者认为非常遗憾，他们三兄妹不应该有这种感觉。

由此可推断出作者对于其他的兄妹深表遗憾。

故选D项。

9．B
10．A
11．C
12．D
13．A

【点睛】：文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。

命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。

文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。

答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。

属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。

（2）语言转述型。

这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。

属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。

（3）语意理解型。

这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。

（4）是非辨别型。

这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是
“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。

（5）事实排序型。

这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。

此题的1，3小题都为细节理解题，其中第一小题是语义转述型，我们找到原文Naturally l was for Brian Boitano, a northern Californian like me这句话，便可得知作者希望Brian Boitano 能赢。

第3小题为语义理解型，根据文章的倒数第二段作者说的话Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards可知，他认为自己最大的成功不在于得奖，而在于他敢于面对媒体的采访，所以理解了这句话，很容易得出答案。

22．B
23．C

故B项正确。

23．词义猜测题。

根据第三段中If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. （如果有一天我成为了环保主义者，我知道我会感谢她的。

）Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”.（除此之外，她总是张开双臂欢迎我，她称她的学生为“我的孩子”。

） Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration.（Mrs Monaf’的道德和价值观深深地影响了我，我也一直把她的建议考虑进去。

故A项正确。

25．主旨大意题。

根据第一段中Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting
person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.可知讲述的是“我生命中有影响力的人”。

故C项正确。

【点睛】做词义猜测题时利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键，这也是近年来高考考查的热点。

最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义，尤其要抓住所需推断词汇前后的含义直接定义该词的部分。

本题第2小题，根据第三段中If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. （如果有一天我成为了环保主义者，我知道我会感谢她的。

）Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”.（除此之外，她总是张开双臂欢迎我，她称她的学生为“我的孩子”。

） Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration.（Mrs Monaf’的道德和价值观深深地影响了我，我也一直把她的建议考虑进去。

）由此可推知划线部分的意思是“影响”，故C项正确。
