My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer’s road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book — Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I’m beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we’ve started something that will pass on to the next generation.
4．Why did the author start reading in the car?
A．She wanted to have a better journey.
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition.
C．Her children were addicted to reading.
D．Children were tired of the cassette.
5．How did the children react after the author read a few lines?
A．They kept fighting. B．They hid themselves.
C．They soon settled down. D．They read together aloud.
6．What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?
A．They were caught in a storm.
B．They enjoyed reading on the road.
C．They had a good time on the beach.
D．They thought it had passed too quickly.
7．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Better Traveling than Reading
B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges
D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips
“I saw it first,” Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside.
“There’s got to be a million dollars here!”Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands,” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.
They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money — buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.
They finally reached Amy’s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2,400 — more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. “I wonder who lost it.” Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.
8．Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?
A．In an alley. B．In a backpack.
C．Among some flowers. D．On the sidewalk.
9．In Paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?
A．She was afraid that they would be seen by others.
B．She was disappointed there wasn’t a million dollars.
C．She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.
D．She felt nervous because she’d never seen so much money.
10．On their way to Amy’s house, the children’s mood changed from .
A．excited to suspicious B．happy to angry
C．relieved to worried D．nervous to disappointed
11．What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
A．To keep the money a secret from others.
B．To return the wallet to its rightful owner.
C．To put the wallet back where they found it.
D．To buy many different things with the money.
The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength--even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.
“Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”
Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)- and these changes were much more evident in men.
However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers(桨手), and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.
12．What does the study tell about prehistoric women?
A．They were stronger than men. B．They had lighter bones than men.
C．They did tough tasks as the men. D．They spent most time staying at home.
13．What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?
A．They lacked enough comparison. B．They only studied men' s bones.
C．They focused little on bones. D．They ignored the lifestyles.
14．What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Bones’ structure. B．Bones' thickness.
C．Bones’ response to stress. D．Bones’ stress from hard labor.
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.
B．Prehistoric women went through much suffering.
C．Women's arms have become much stronger over time.
D．Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.

I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him. Mr Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr Rowe's classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr Rowe welcomed him, “Hi, Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom. So, while Mr Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed that Steven was angry and confused.
That day after class, Mr Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. “Hey, Steven,” Mr Rowe commented, “You are good at pitching things. Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him.
After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr Rowe in class as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the right answer! He said, with Mr Rowe, his days of fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr Rowe more and more with each passing day.
Paragraph 1:
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Many years later, Mr Rowe and I were surprised

13．推理判断题。根据第三段Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem,得知问题是：此前的研究只是将女性骨骼和男性骨骼对比，但这种方法很可能低估了女性的工作强度，可以推断出缺乏比较。故选A。

答案定位：根据Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.得知研究发现史前女性比现代女性更强壮。
推理关系：题干What can we learn from the last paragraph?文章内容Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.
答案： D选项Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females

36．考查连词。句意：多亏了年轻一代的顾客和社交媒体，中国不再向西方寻求时尚概念，而是在发展它自己的风格。分析句子结构，前半句中的no longer是not的另一种形式，因此本句属于not...but...句型，表示“不是……而是……”。故填but。

47．Paragraph 1:
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the buses pulled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr Rowe. "I don't want to leave you." He sobbed with red-rimmed eyes. Mr Rowe comforted him, "I will miss you, too."
Paragraph2:
Many years later, Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr Rowe and I couldn't believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr Rowe tightly! "I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!" It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say a very simple word of THANKS.

My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer’s road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book — Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I’m beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we’ve started something that will pass on to the next generation.
4．Why did the author start reading in the car?
A．She wanted to have a better journey.
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition.
C．Her children were addicted to reading.
D．Children were tired of the cassette.
5．How did the children react after the author read a few lines?
A．They kept fighting. B．They hid themselves.
C．They soon settled down. D．They read together aloud.
6．What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?
A．They were caught in a storm.
B．They enjoyed reading on the road.
C．They had a good time on the beach.
D．They thought it had passed too quickly.
7．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Better Traveling than Reading
B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges
D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips
“I saw it first,” Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside.
“There’s got to be a million dollars here!”Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands,” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.
They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money — buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.
They finally reached Amy’s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2,400 — more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. “I wonder who lost it.” Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.
8．Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?
A．In an alley. B．In a backpack.
C．Among some flowers. D．On the sidewalk.
9．In Paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?
A．She was afraid that they would be seen by others.
B．She was disappointed there wasn’t a million dollars.
C．She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.
D．She felt nervous because she’d never seen so much money.
10．On their way to Amy’s house, the children’s mood changed from .
A．excited to suspicious B．happy to angry
C．relieved to worried D．nervous to disappointed
11．What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
A．To keep the money a secret from others.
B．To return the wallet to its rightful owner.
C．To put the wallet back where they found it.
D．To buy many different things with the money.
The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength--even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.
“Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”
Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)- and these changes were much more evident in men.
However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers(桨手), and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.
12．What does the study tell about prehistoric women?
A．They were stronger than men. B．They had lighter bones than men.
C．They did tough tasks as the men. D．They spent most time staying at home.
13．What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?
A．They lacked enough comparison. B．They only studied men' s bones.
C．They focused little on bones. D．They ignored the lifestyles.
14．What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Bones’ structure. B．Bones' thickness.
C．Bones’ response to stress. D．Bones’ stress from hard labor.
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.
B．Prehistoric women went through much suffering.
C．Women's arms have become much stronger over time.
D．Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.

I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him. Mr Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr Rowe's classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr Rowe welcomed him, “Hi, Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom. So, while Mr Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed that Steven was angry and confused.
That day after class, Mr Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. “Hey, Steven,” Mr Rowe commented, “You are good at pitching things. Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him.
After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr Rowe in class as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the right answer! He said, with Mr Rowe, his days of fourth grade promised wonderful.

【分析】本文为记叙文。生活经历可以展示一个人的“勇气”。在人生的早期，复杂的挑战帮助人们发展了技能，使他们成为专业的佼佼者。文章介绍了这样的四个人。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的But Burns' early gift for math won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox，where she would compete her way to the top．可知在学校Burns的数学学得最好，因此答案选B。
2．推理判断题。结合文章第七段中的 But his story could have turned out much differently： his drug dealer father was killed when he was 3． "It made me work even harder．" he recently said．可以得知Sean Combs的父亲的死让Sean Combs更加努力学习，变得更加坚强，由此可知答案选C。
3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句话“Her parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5． By 7， she was her parents' main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned in New Jersey． The experience did help her.”（当她五岁的的时候，她的父母逃离了古巴。到7岁的可知时候，她是父母的翻译和所经营的商店的会计，这个经历帮助了她变得强大的时候。），逃离的经历使她变得强大，因此答案选D。
【点睛】细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读材料中可以找到。此外，在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位)，然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换)，从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文，并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落，然后进行分析和推理等，从而找出正确答案。
以本文第2小题为例，本题运用定位法：我们根据题干How did the death of Combs' father influence him？中的关键词是the death of Combs' father，从而直接定位到含Sean Combs，CEO，Sean John部分的——But his story could have turned out much differently： his drug dealer father was killed when he was 3． "It made me work even harder．" he recently said．可以得知Sean Combs的父亲的死让Sean Combs更加努力学习，变得更加坚强，由此可知答案选C。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己因为无法忍受反复听磁带里的歌曲，开始在旅行的车里阅读，后来这发展成为家庭传统，为一家人带来乐趣，让旅程更加轻松愉快的故事。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. (我开始在车里阅读的家庭传统的动机纯粹是自私的：我无法忍受再听10个小时的《芝麻街圣诞节》。)”可知，作者开始在车里阅读是因为不想再听磁带里的歌。由此推知，她想有一个更好的旅程。故选A项。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen. (当我开始大声朗读那个男孩躲在一个巨大的桃子里逃脱坏人的故事时，我的三个孩子在座位上争论和扭打。但几行之后，他们就被文字的节奏所吸引，开始听了。)”可知，作者读了几行后，他们很快就平静下来了。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. (有时我们读的书成为旅行的亮点。在我们驱车去海滩的两天时间里，我读了威尔逊·罗尔斯的《猴子的夏天》。)”和“When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.” (回家后，我问儿子喜欢这次旅行的什么。他毫不犹豫地回答：“你在车里读的那本书。”)”可知，作者和一家人去沙滩的旅行中读书成了旅途的亮点，最受孩子们的喜爱。由此可知，他们很享受在路上读书。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕旅行中在车上阅读展开，讲述了作者因为无法忍受反复听磁带里的歌曲，开始在旅行的车里阅读，后来这发展成为家庭传统，为一家人带来乐趣，让旅程更加轻松愉快的故事。因此，D项“阅读让公路之旅愉快”符合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选D项。
8．C 9．D 10．A 11．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Amy和Charlie在花坛里发现了一个有几千美元的钱包，两人先偷偷地把钱包拿走，畅想利用这笔钱做什么，后来两人还是决定把钱包还给失主，让自己放下负担。
8．细节理解题。根据第三段中“They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. (他们是在人行道边的花坛里发现钱包的，当时Charlie一边说话一边吃意大利辣香肠披萨，把手机掉在地上了。)”可知，Amy和Charlie在一些花中间发现了这个钱包。故选C项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段中““More like thousands,” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief. (“更像是几千美元，”她说，她的声音难以置信地颤抖着。)”可知，Amy不敢相信钱包里有这么多钱。由此推知，从未见过这么多钱的她会感到紧张，声音颤抖。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第三段中“As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money — buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. (当他们奔向总督大道时，他们兴奋地谈论着他们可以用这些钱做什么——给父母和朋友买礼物，买新衣服，去哥斯达黎加的热带雨林旅行，领养一头鲸鱼。)”和“For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. (然而，在最后一个街区，他们没有说话。两人都开始怀疑对方在默默地往自己想买的东西清单上添东西。)”可知，在回Amy家的路上，两人先是非常兴奋，开心地想象利用这笔钱可以做什么，后来变得沉默，猜疑对方偷偷地想买更多的东西，因此两个孩子的情绪是由兴奋变成怀疑。故选A项。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved. (因为在钱包的透明塑料隔层里，有一张驾驶执照。他们知道自己该做什么。虽然他们将失去他们的新发现的财富，在某种程度上，他们如释重负。)”可推知，Amy和Charlie打算放弃这笔财富，根据钱包里驾驶执照的信息将钱包返还给失主，让自己放下负担。故选B项。
12．C 13．A 14．C 15．D
【分析】本文是说明文。根据一项针对7000年前生活的女性骨骼研究显示，这些史前女性的手臂力量大于如今的女性。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.得知研究发现史前女性所从事的体力劳动和男性一样艰苦。故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据第三段Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem,得知问题是：此前的研究只是将女性骨骼和男性骨骼对比，但这种方法很可能低估了女性的工作强度，可以推断出缺乏比较。故选A。
14．词义猜测题。根据because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women.得知男性骨骼相对于女性骨骼来说对压力作出的反应更明显，前后在对比the response of bones to stress。故选C。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.得知研究发现史前女性比现代女性更强壮。故选D。
【点睛】小题4属于推理判断题中的：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。
答案定位：根据Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.得知研究发现史前女性比现代女性更强壮。
推理关系：题干What can we learn from the last paragraph?文章内容Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.
答案： D选项Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females

People will like it, because it shows that you have the courage to do so and you’re being real about your imperfections. (嘲笑别人可能会伤害他们的感情，即使你不是故意的，而嘲笑自己却不会——你甚至可能会给他们带来微笑。人们会喜欢它，因为这表明你有勇气这样做，你在认真对待自己的不完美。)”介绍自嘲不会伤害他人的感情，甚至可以得到他人的喜爱，A项“Laughing at yourself makes you popular. (自嘲会让你受欢迎。)”符合语境，说明自嘲让人受欢迎，契合后文内容。故选A。

36．考查连词。句意：多亏了年轻一代的顾客和社交媒体，中国不再向西方寻求时尚概念，而是在发展它自己的风格。分析句子结构，前半句中的no longer是not的另一种形式，因此本句属于not...but...句型，表示“不是……而是……”。故填but。

As far as I can remember, I took up running to lose weight when I was young. But after a month, I started to get impatient. Thankfully, my father pushed me to be more patient. I accepted his advice, got back on track and carried it through. Gradually, I became fitter.
Looking back, I would have ended up nowhere if I had lost patience and given up halfway. It’s patience that makes a great difference in the end.

47．Paragraph 1:
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the buses pulled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr Rowe. "I don't want to leave you." He sobbed with red-rimmed eyes. Mr Rowe comforted him, "I will miss you, too."
Paragraph2:
Many years later, Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr Rowe and I couldn't believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr Rowe tightly! "I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!" It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say a very simple word of THANKS.
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索讲述了一个好老师Rowe。Steven是一个内向的孩子，他不仅不喜欢上学，而且还不喜欢自己。很多老师都不愿意他在自己的班上，但Rowe却高兴地接纳了他，并主动让Steven承担班上的一些任务，慢慢地Steven开始变化。他喜欢和Rowe在一起，也愿意回答课堂上提出的问题。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据本段首句内容“那一年时间过得很快，我们还没意识到就已经到了期末最后一天。”可知，下文可描述在离别之时Steve的不舍，以及他和Rowe老师的互动。
②根据本段首句内容“很多年之后，Rowe和我都非常吃惊……”可知，下文可描述Steve多年后回到学校，特地来感谢Rowe当年对自己的帮助。
2.续写线索：离校日——Steve很沮丧——犹豫着离开Rowe——多年后我和Rowe惊讶——Steve回到学校——表达对Rowe的感谢
3.词类激活
①行为类：
上车：board/get on
哭泣：sob/weep/ cry
回来：come back/return
②情绪类：
不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly
紧紧地拥抱：hug tightly/ hug firmly
