第一部分 阅读理解（满分40分）
A
You probably know who Marie Curie was,but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below,who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?

She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need.（任何得到过社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢简·亚当斯。亚当斯帮助穷人，为和平而努力。她通过建立庇护所和促进教育和为有需要的人提供服务来鼓励社区意识。）”可知，简·亚当斯在历史上以她的社会工作出名，故选A。

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third－generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two－thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
5. Why was Garza’s move a success?
A. It strengthened her family ties.
B. It improved her living conditions.
C. It enabled her to make more friends.
D. It helped her know more new places.
6. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson’s decision?
A. 17% expressed their support for it.
B. Few people responded sympathetically.
C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.
D The majority thought it was a trend.
7. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A. They were unsure of themselves.
B. They were eager to raise more children.
C. They wanted to live away from their parents.
D. They had little respect for their grandparents.
8. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D. Get to know themselves better.
【答案】5. A 6. D 7. C 8. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇关于人与社会问题的报道类夹叙夹议文。通过描述部分祖父母选择搬去和孩子们生活在一起，以便为孩子们提供帮助，引发更多人的选择与思考。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.”可知这次搬家给他们带来了更紧密的家庭联系。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段结尾处“...83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.”可知83%的人认为Mrs. Robinson的决定会影响美国家庭，2/3的人相信更多家庭会效仿，所以“多数人认为这是一种趋势”。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”可知那时的人们一心希望离家越远越好、越快越好。本题出错主要原因在于考生对“can’t...enough表示越……越好”不熟悉，而按字面理解成了“没能力离家足够远”。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第四段首句“Moving is not for everyone”已经说明“移居并非适合每一个人”，再结合下文“Having yourgrandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.”可知“（祖父母）得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活，是很难过的，但（祖父母）放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难过”，所以推断出作者建议“作选择时要慎重，要以自己最大的需求为衡量标准”。故选A。
【点睛】社会现象类的文本是备考的重要部分，此类文本不仅要求学生读懂事实信息，还要理解作者的意图态度。所以备考中注意扫清用词句式等阅读障碍，更要教会学生读懂字里行间话外之音。题目设置上既关注细节信息，又关注推理判断和观点态度。
C
I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you — there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient — please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?
A. Provider. B. Delivery man. C. Collector. D. Medical doctor.
10. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?
A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. B. The donor can only wait for that long.
C. The operation needs that much time. D. The ice won’t last any longer.
11. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?
A. To London. B. To Newark. C. To Providence. D. To Washington.
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者是一名人体干细胞送货员。有一次，作者在机场工作人员的帮助下，有惊无险，准时的把干细胞送到了英国。作者意识到自己送的东西，有可能救了别人的命，所以作者认为自己的工作非常有意义。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.(自2012年3月以来，我已经完成了89次旅行，其中有51次是在国外。在我的小盒子里，我有42个小时的时间来携带干细胞，因为我有两个冰袋，它们只能维持这么长时间。总而言之，从干细胞从捐献者身上提取到它们可以被植入病人体内，我们最多有72小时。所以我总是注意时间)”可知，作者负责的时间段是当干细胞从捐献者身体里取出之后到送到患者那里，所以作者的身份像一个投递员。故划线词意思是“投递员”。A. Provider供应者；B. Delivery man投递员；C. Collector收藏家；D. Medical doctor医生。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.(在我的小盒子里，我有42个小时的时间来携带干细胞，因为我有两个冰袋，它们只能维持这么长时间)”可知，超过了42小时，冰袋就不会再持续维持低温了。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.(她为我安排了一架小飞机，让我在Newark转机，甚至比原计划更早地回到了英国)”可知，Peter 首先到达 Newark。故选B。
D
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
12. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Russians.
14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. 可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异，交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来，暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据末段末句A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients 可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D 。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups”可知， 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B 。
E
Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___19___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___20___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. A

【20题详解】
考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文介绍密码本的重要作用，A项：没有密码本很难破译，总结上文。故选A。
【点睛】关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。小题1中上句讲人们使用密码已经几千年了，下句讲密码破译工作。空白处和密码破译有关，D项内容符合语境，连接上下文。小题2中后面的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母作为密码，E项符合此内容。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
第二部分 完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者作为英国大使向西方宣传熊猫及其对熊猫的爱。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：但对于像我这样的游客来说，熊猫是它最吸引人的地方。top是形容词，修饰名词，空格处是名词attraction，由top可知，空格处用单数，故填attraction。
【42题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：我被允许在600英亩的中心接近这些可爱的动物。根据语境可知，我是被允许，句子用被动语态，根据语境可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，因此时态是一般过去时，空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，即was/were done，主语I是单数，因此空格处是was allowed，故填was allowed。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：从明天起，我将正式成为他们的英国大使。空格处用副词officially修饰动词given，officially意为“正式地”，故填officially。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：但我与熊猫的联系可以追溯到上世纪80年代中期的一个电视节目，当时我是第一个西方电视台记者，报道了一个特别小组在野外救助饥饿的熊猫。go back to是固定短语，意为“追溯到”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：但我与熊猫的联系可以追溯到上世纪80年代中期的一个电视节目，当时我是第一个西方电视台记者，报道了一个特别小组在野外救助饥饿的熊猫。名词被序数词修饰时，名词后面跟不定式作后置定语，the first是序数词，因此空格处用不定式to present。故填to present。
【46题详解】
考查动名词。句意：我的大使职责将包括向英国游客介绍在成都的120多只大熊猫，以及在碧峰峡迷雾山脉进行研究的其他大熊猫。空格处用动名词introducing作宾语，故填introducing。
【47题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：我的大使职责将包括向英国游客介绍在成都的120多只大熊猫，以及在碧峰峡迷雾山脉进行研究的其他大熊猫。120-plus后跟名词的复数，因此空格处是复数pandas，故填pandas。
【48题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：在我最近的一次拜访中，我抱着一个被母亲抛弃的活泼的三个月大的双胞胎。根据语境可知，句子意为“抱着一个被母亲抛弃的活泼的三个月大的双胞胎”，是被它的母亲抛弃，空格处是“它的”，空格后有名词，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词its，故填its。
【49题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：托儿所团队每隔几天就会把它和它的妹妹调换一次，这样一来，一只用奶瓶喂养，另一只和妈妈在一起——她从不怀疑。few后用名词的复数days，故填days。
【50题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：托儿所团队每隔几天就会把它和它的妹妹调换一次，这样一来，一只用奶瓶喂养，另一只和妈妈在一起——她从不怀疑。前面讲那是双胞胎，因此空格处是“两者中的另一个”，是the other，因此空格处是定冠词the，故填the。
第四部分 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
51. 短文改错

【答案】1.in→to
2. 去掉but
3. crowd→crowded
4. in→to
5. or→and
6. using→used
7. become→becoming
8. the →a
9. our→his
10. stead→steadily
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者叔叔的餐馆的成功秘诀。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：我叔叔在我家附近开了一家餐馆。close to是固定短语，意为“接近”，故将in改为to。
2. 考查连词。句意：虽然不大，但这家餐馆在我们这一带很受欢迎。although和but不能连用，故去掉but。
3. 考查形容词和固定短语。句意：吃饭的时候总是挤满了顾客。be crowded with是固定短语，意为“挤满”，故将crowd改为crowded。
4. 考查介词。句意：我叔叔告诉我他成功的关键是诚实。the key to sth.是固定用法，意为“某事的关键”，故将in改为to。
5.考查连词。句意：每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭。句子是肯定句，且表示“每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭”，fresh vegetables和high quality oil是都用，因此用and连接，故将or改为and。
6. 考查被动语态。句意：每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭。蔬菜和油是被用来做饭，因此句子用被动语态，用are used，故将using改为used。
7. 考查动名词。句意：我叔叔说他从不梦想在短时间内致富。of是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，dream of doing是固定短语，意为“梦想做某事”，故将become改为becoming。
8. 考查冠词。句意：我叔叔说他从不梦想在短时间内致富。period可数名词，此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，short是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故将the改为a。
9. 考查物主代词。句意：相反，他希望自己的生意能稳步增长。根据语境可知，句子表示“他希望自己的生意能稳步增长”，因此应为his business，故将our改为his。
10. 考查副词。句意：相反，他希望自己的生意能稳步增长。修饰动词grow应用副词steadily，意为“稳定地”，故将stead改为steadily。

Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third－generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two－thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
5. Why was Garza’s move a success?
A. It strengthened her family ties.
B. It improved her living conditions.
C. It enabled her to make more friends.
D. It helped her know more new places.
6. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson’s decision?
A. 17% expressed their support for it.
B. Few people responded sympathetically.
C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.
D The majority thought it was a trend.
7. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A. They were unsure of themselves.
B. They were eager to raise more children.
C. They wanted to live away from their parents.
D. They had little respect for their grandparents.
8. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D. Get to know themselves better.
【答案】5. A 6. D 7. C 8. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇关于人与社会问题的报道类夹叙夹议文。通过描述部分祖父母选择搬去和孩子们生活在一起，以便为孩子们提供帮助，引发更多人的选择与思考。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.”可知这次搬家给他们带来了更紧密的家庭联系。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段结尾处“...83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.”可知83%的人认为Mrs. Robinson的决定会影响美国家庭，2/3的人相信更多家庭会效仿，所以“多数人认为这是一种趋势”。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”可知那时的人们一心希望离家越远越好、越快越好。本题出错主要原因在于考生对“can’t...enough表示越……越好”不熟悉，而按字面理解成了“没能力离家足够远”。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第四段首句“Moving is not for everyone”已经说明“移居并非适合每一个人”，再结合下文“Having yourgrandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.”可知“（祖父母）得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活，是很难过的，但（祖父母）放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难过”，所以推断出作者建议“作选择时要慎重，要以自己最大的需求为衡量标准”。故选A。
【点睛】社会现象类的文本是备考的重要部分，此类文本不仅要求学生读懂事实信息，还要理解作者的意图态度。所以备考中注意扫清用词句式等阅读障碍，更要教会学生读懂字里行间话外之音。题目设置上既关注细节信息，又关注推理判断和观点态度。
C
I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you — there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient — please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?
A. Provider. B. Delivery man. C. Collector. D. Medical doctor.
10. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?
A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. B. The donor can only wait for that long.
C. The operation needs that much time. D. The ice won’t last any longer.
11. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?
A. To London. B. To Newark. C. To Providence. D. To Washington.
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者是一名人体干细胞送货员。有一次，作者在机场工作人员的帮助下，有惊无险，准时的把干细胞送到了英国。作者意识到自己送的东西，有可能救了别人的命，所以作者认为自己的工作非常有意义。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.(自2012年3月以来，我已经完成了89次旅行，其中有51次是在国外。在我的小盒子里，我有42个小时的时间来携带干细胞，因为我有两个冰袋，它们只能维持这么长时间。总而言之，从干细胞从捐献者身上提取到它们可以被植入病人体内，我们最多有72小时。所以我总是注意时间)”可知，作者负责的时间段是当干细胞从捐献者身体里取出之后到送到患者那里，所以作者的身份像一个投递员。故划线词意思是“投递员”。A. Provider供应者；B. Delivery man投递员；C. Collector收藏家；D. Medical doctor医生。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.(在我的小盒子里，我有42个小时的时间来携带干细胞，因为我有两个冰袋，它们只能维持这么长时间)”可知，超过了42小时，冰袋就不会再持续维持低温了。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.(她为我安排了一架小飞机，让我在Newark转机，甚至比原计划更早地回到了英国)”可知，Peter 首先到达 Newark。故选B。

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
12. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Russians.
14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. 可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异，交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来，暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据末段末句A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients 可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D 。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups”可知， 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B 。

Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___19___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___20___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

【点睛】关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。小题1中上句讲人们使用密码已经几千年了，下句讲密码破译工作。空白处和密码破译有关，D项内容符合语境，连接上下文。小题2中后面的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母作为密码，E项符合此内容。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者作为英国大使向西方宣传熊猫及其对熊猫的爱。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：但对于像我这样的游客来说，熊猫是它最吸引人的地方。top是形容词，修饰名词，空格处是名词attraction，由top可知，空格处用单数，故填attraction。
【42题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：我被允许在600英亩的中心接近这些可爱的动物。根据语境可知，我是被允许，句子用被动语态，根据语境可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，因此时态是一般过去时，空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，即was/were done，主语I是单数，因此空格处是was allowed，故填was allowed。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：从明天起，我将正式成为他们的英国大使。空格处用副词officially修饰动词given，officially意为“正式地”，故填officially。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：但我与熊猫的联系可以追溯到上世纪80年代中期的一个电视节目，当时我是第一个西方电视台记者，报道了一个特别小组在野外救助饥饿的熊猫。go back to是固定短语，意为“追溯到”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：但我与熊猫的联系可以追溯到上世纪80年代中期的一个电视节目，当时我是第一个西方电视台记者，报道了一个特别小组在野外救助饥饿的熊猫。名词被序数词修饰时，名词后面跟不定式作后置定语，the first是序数词，因此空格处用不定式to present。故填to present。
【46题详解】
考查动名词。句意：我的大使职责将包括向英国游客介绍在成都的120多只大熊猫，以及在碧峰峡迷雾山脉进行研究的其他大熊猫。空格处用动名词introducing作宾语，故填introducing。
【47题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：我的大使职责将包括向英国游客介绍在成都的120多只大熊猫，以及在碧峰峡迷雾山脉进行研究的其他大熊猫。120-plus后跟名词的复数，因此空格处是复数pandas，故填pandas。
【48题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：在我最近的一次拜访中，我抱着一个被母亲抛弃的活泼的三个月大的双胞胎。根据语境可知，句子意为“抱着一个被母亲抛弃的活泼的三个月大的双胞胎”，是被它的母亲抛弃，空格处是“它的”，空格后有名词，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词its，故填its。
【49题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：托儿所团队每隔几天就会把它和它的妹妹调换一次，这样一来，一只用奶瓶喂养，另一只和妈妈在一起——她从不怀疑。few后用名词的复数days，故填days。
【50题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：托儿所团队每隔几天就会把它和它的妹妹调换一次，这样一来，一只用奶瓶喂养，另一只和妈妈在一起——她从不怀疑。前面讲那是双胞胎，因此空格处是“两者中的另一个”，是the other，因此空格处是定冠词the，故填the。
第四部分 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
51. 短文改错

My uncle says that he never dreams of become rich in the short period of time. Instead, he hopes that our business will grow steady.
【答案】1.in→to
2. 去掉but
3. crowd→crowded
4. in→to
5. or→and
6. using→used
7. become→becoming
8. the →a
9. our→his
10. stead→steadily
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者叔叔的餐馆的成功秘诀。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：我叔叔在我家附近开了一家餐馆。close to是固定短语，意为“接近”，故将in改为to。
2. 考查连词。句意：虽然不大，但这家餐馆在我们这一带很受欢迎。although和but不能连用，故去掉but。
3. 考查形容词和固定短语。句意：吃饭的时候总是挤满了顾客。be crowded with是固定短语，意为“挤满”，故将crowd改为crowded。
4. 考查介词。句意：我叔叔告诉我他成功的关键是诚实。the key to sth.是固定用法，意为“某事的关键”，故将in改为to。
5.考查连词。句意：每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭。句子是肯定句，且表示“每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭”，fresh vegetables和high quality oil是都用，因此用and连接，故将or改为and。
6. 考查被动语态。句意：每天他都确保用新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油做饭。蔬菜和油是被用来做饭，因此句子用被动语态，用are used，故将using改为used。
7. 考查动名词。句意：我叔叔说他从不梦想在短时间内致富。of是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，dream of doing是固定短语，意为“梦想做某事”，故将become改为becoming。
8. 考查冠词。句意：我叔叔说他从不梦想在短时间内致富。period可数名词，此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，short是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故将the改为a。
9. 考查物主代词。句意：相反，他希望自己的生意能稳步增长。根据语境可知，句子表示“他希望自己的生意能稳步增长”，因此应为his business，故将our改为his。
10. 考查副词。句意：相反，他希望自己的生意能稳步增长。修饰动词grow应用副词steadily，意为“稳定地”，故将stead改为steadily。
