Jim found himself exhausted during a trip. When he came home, he went to see a doctor. “The reason I was tired, ” Jim says, “was that my kidneys (肾脏)were gone. ”
Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis(透析) three days a week. A person of his age on dialysis usually lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types.
Jim’s wife, nephew and four family friends offered but weren’t a match. Jim was so discouraged that he was even considering not attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies(铁哥们). But his wife encouraged him to reunite with his old friends, among whom was one he hadn’t seen in 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning Vietnamese before they went overseas.
Doug, then 70, felt a strong bond with his band of brothers, even though he hadn’t seen some of them in decades. Their connection went beyond the battlefield in ways most soldiers never experience.
Doug had received help from his friends when he was in trouble, so he felt like it was a time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim. Fortunately, series of testing revealed not only that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.
The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be able to take an organ out of one person’s body—a living organ—put it in another person’s body, and have it work, ” Doug says. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life. ”
4 From this text we know that Kidney transplant is ________.
A. Expensive B. dangerous C. a matter of luck D. an unwise choice
5. How old was Jim when he went overseas?
A. About 17. B. About 19. C. About 22. D. About 25.
6. What can we infer from Doug’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Doug is happy to donate a kidney to Jim. B. Jim is having a better life than Doug.
C. The kidney transplant is very successful. D. Modern medical science is very advanced.
7. What is the theme of this text?
A. Good luck. B. An operation. C. Paying it forward. D. Good relationship.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Jim多年不见的老朋友Doug为其捐肾的感人故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的第三句“Transplants are long-shot alternative.(移植是一个希望渺茫的选择。)”以及最后一句“The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types.(美国国家肾脏基金会估计，每天有13人在等待合适的血液和组织类型的捐赠者时死亡。)”可知，肾移植是一个希望渺茫的替代方案。美国肾脏基金会估计每天都有13人在等待一个有合适的血型和器官组织类型的捐赠者的时候死去。由此可见，肾移植要靠机会和运气。结合选项可知，选项C正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第一句中“Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis (透析) three times a week.(现年69岁的Jim曾是一名空军飞行员，他立即开始每周透析三次。)”和第三段中“But his wife encouraged him to reunite with his old friends, among whom was one he hadn’t seen for nearly 50 years: Doug Coffman.(但他的妻子鼓励他与老朋友团聚，其中有一位他已近50年未见的朋友:道格·科夫曼(Doug Coffman)。)”可知，Jim，69岁，一位前空军飞行员，立即开始了一周三次的透析。但是他的妻子鼓励他去和他的老朋友们重新团聚，在他们之中，有一个是他几乎59年没见的人：Doug Coffman。由此可知， Jim出国参战的时候是69-50=19岁，他当时大约19岁。结合选项可知，选项B正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句““And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life.”(“没有什么比知道我帮助了另一个人过上更好的生活更美好的了。”)”可知，能为Jim捐肾，Doug感到很高兴。故选项A正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中的第一句“Doug had received help from his friends when he was in trouble, so he felt like it was time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim(Doug在遇到困难的时候得到了朋友们的帮助，所以他觉得是时候把肾捐给Jim了)”可知，Doug曾在他困难的时候收到了他朋友的帮助，所以他觉得这是他通过捐肾给Jim把爱传递。由此可见，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了把爱传递下去。结合选项可知，选项C正确。
C
There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being. Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what is it particularly about being in nature or being outdoors that makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.
Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how much the natural sounds people hear when they’re outdoors influence well-being. They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.
For the study, researchers placed 10 hidden, evenly spaced speakers(扬声器) on two parts of trails(小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.
“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong responded to questions that showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Francis, who led the research, says.
Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. “With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear effect on the quality of hikers’ experiences,” says Francis.
8. What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 1?
A. To bring in the topic of the text. B. To advise people to walk in nature.
C. To call on people to care about nature. D. To raise doubt about the research done before.
9. Why were the speakers placed along the trails?
A. To broadcast chorus live. B. To remind hikers of their health.
C. To improve people’s well-being. D. To play sounds of different birds.
10. What was the final step of the research?
A. Recording. B. Comparing. C. Photographing. D. Interviewing.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Being in nature is good for people’s heath.
B. Walking in forests help people live longer.
C. Hearing birdsongs is good for people’s health.
D. Raising birds improves people’s living quality.
【答案】8 A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Walking in the woods is good for your well-being. Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what is it particularly about being in nature or being outdoors that makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? ”（在树林里散步对你的健康有好处。住在树林附近可以帮助你活得更久。但是当你在树林里散步的时候，在大自然中或者户外有什么特别让你感觉良好的呢？是视觉，气味，还是声音？）本段最后一句“A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.”（一项新的研究发现，这可能与你散步时听到的鸟叫声有关。）可知，在森林里散步有益健康，而下文介绍的是在散步时听到的鸟鸣声对人的健康有好处，所以这些问题是为了引出本文的话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. ”（他们播放11种录制的鸟类的歌声。）。可知，研究人员沿路摆放的扬声器是用来播放各种鸟叫声的。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For the study, researchers placed 10 hidden, evenly spaced speakers(扬声器) on two parts of trails(小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.”（在这项研究中，研究人员在科罗拉多州博尔德开放空间和山区公园的两条小径上安置了10个隐藏的、间隔均匀的扬声器。他们播放了来自11种鸟类的录音歌曲。研究人员轮流每天播放几个小时的鸟鸣，持续一周，然后每次关掉扬声器一周。他们在徒步旅行者经过有扬声器地区后采访了他们。）倒数第二段中“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong responded to questions that showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong”（主要结果是，听到鸟鸣的远足者回答的问题显示，与没有听到鸟鸣的人相比，他们的幸福水平更高）最后一段“Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. ”（在第一段路上听到更多鸟鸣声的徒步旅行者说他们感觉好多了。那些在第二段听到更多鸟鸣声的人报告说，他们认为更多的鸟生活在那段小径上。）可知，研究人员先采访散步的人们，然后将他们散步时有鸟鸣播放的感受与无鸟鸣播放感受进行对比，最后得出结论。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段前两句“There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being. Living near trees can help you live longer. ”（许多研究表明，身处大自然有益于你的健康。在树林里散步对你的健康有好处。住在森林附近可以帮助你活得更久。）讲述了之前的研究发现，身处大自然有益于你的健康。最后一句“A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.”（一项新的研究发现，这可能与你散步时听到的鸟叫声有关。）可知，本文要介绍的是一项新的研究结果。即听到的鸟鸣声对在树林里散步的人的健康很有益处。故选C。
D
A team of researchers has found how to use math to study paintings to learn more about how the art developed in the western world. In their paper published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how they scanned thousands of paintings and then used mathematical algorithms (算法) to find commonalities between them over time.
Beauty, as the saying goes, is in the eye of the beholder — and so it is also with art. Two people looking at the same painting can walk away with vastly different impressions. The study of art history can serve as a channel — casting light on societal trends over time. The re-searchers further note that to date, most studies of art history have been qualitatively (定性地) based, which has led to the results with prejudice, To overcome it, the researchers with this new effort look to math to see if it might be useful in uncovering features of paintings that have been overlooked by human scholars.
The work involved digitally scanning 14, 912 paintings — all of which ( except for two ) were painted by Western artists. The data for each of the paintings was then sent through a mathematical algorithm that drew partitions on the digital images based on contrasting colors. The researchers ran the algorithm on each painting multiple times, each time creating more sections to study. For example, the first run of the algorithm might have simply created two sections on a painting — everything on land and everything in the sky. The second might have split the land into buildings in one section and farmland in another.
The researchers then ran other algorithms designed to look for patterns between the paintings. Doing so allowed them to see trends like painting styles that predominated during certain eras and long-term trends, such as the placement of the horizon (地平线). The researchers found that over the past several hundred years, painters have been placing it increasingly higher. In the 17th century, the separation between Earth and sky dominated landscapes — those done in more modern times, in sharp contrast, have the horizon very near the top of the painting.
12. Which of the following is the finding of the researchers?
A. A way to research paintings. B. The development of western art.
C. The similarities between art and math. D. A scientific paper on painting and math.
13. What did the researchers expect to do with math?
A. Deepen the impression of paintings. B. Uncover the features of human scholars.
C. Make a more objective study of paintings. D. Interpret the results of painting qualitatively.
14. How were the algorithms carried out?
A. By observing buildings and farmland. B. By linking land paintings with sky paintings.
C. By analyzing the various parts of the paintings. D. By classifying the different colors of the paintings.
15. What can we learn about the location of the horizon in the painting?
A. It has varied over time.
B. It is always very near the top.
C. It was only placed at the bottom in the 17th century.
D. It has not changed over the past several hundred years.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲解了一组研究人员发现了如何使用数学来研究绘画，即扫描数千幅画作，然后使用数学算法随着时间的推移找到它们之间的共同点，以更多地了解艺术在西方世界是如何发展的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A team of researchers has found how to use math to study paintings to learn more about how the art developed in the western world.”(一组研究人员发现了如何使用数学来研究绘画，以更多地了解艺术在西方世界是如何发展的。)可知，研究人员发现了使用数学来研究绘画的方式，故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The re-searchers further note that to date, most studies of art history have been qualitatively (定性地) based, which has led to the results with prejudice, To overcome it, the researchers with this new effort look to math to see if it might be useful in uncovering features of paintings that have been overlooked by human scholars.”(研究人员进一步指出，迄今为止，大多数艺术史研究都是以定性为基础的，这导致了带有偏见的结果，为了克服它，研究人员以这种新的努力着眼于数学，看看它是否可能有助于揭示被人类学者忽视的绘画特征。)可知，以前的研究是定性研究，带来了很多偏见，而此次的研究人员想要克服偏见，即就是变得更客观。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The data for each of the paintings was then sent through a mathematical algorithm that drew partitions on the digital images based on contrasting colors. The researchers ran the algorithm on each painting multiple times, each time creating more sections to study.”(然后通过数学算法发送每幅画的数据，该算法根据对比色在数字图像上绘制分区。研究人员在每幅画上多次运行该算法，每次都会创建更多的部分进行研究。)可知，该算法是对于画作进行分区研究。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers found that over the past several hundred years, painters have been placing it increasingly higher. In the 17th century, the separation between Earth and sky dominated landscapes — those done in more modern times, in sharp contrast, have the horizon very near the top of the painting.”(研究人员发现，在过去的几百年里，画家们一直把它放得越来越高。在 17 世纪，地球和天空之间的分离主导了风景——那些在更现代的时期完成的风景形成鲜明对比，地平线非常靠近画作的顶部。)可知，在不同时期，地平线的位置会有所不同，所以可以推测地平线的位置会随着时间的推移发生变化，故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了盗用身份这一犯罪行为变得普遍的原因，并就如何预防给出了建议。
【16题详解】
上文提到一种新型犯罪行为：“Identity theft (盗用身份)”，D项“This is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. (这是一种窃取并非法使用你的个人信息的犯罪行为，) ”是这种新型犯罪行为的定义，且句中指示代词This指代上文“Identity theft”。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文提出问题“Why is identity theft becoming so common?(为什么盗用身份变得如此普遍?)”，A项“A gateway is offered for the identity theft by the popularity of the Internet and computers.(互联网和计算机的普及为身份盗窃提供了一种途径) ”给出问题答案。故选A项。
【18题详解】
上文“Many people are not aware of the problems caused by the crime.(许多人没有意识到盗用身份造成的问题)”说明人们并未意识到盗用身份带来的危害，E项“They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by the crime.(只有当他们成为受害者并遭受犯罪所造成的损害时，他们才会从无忧无虑的态度中觉醒)”讲只有成为受害者后才会意识到问题的严重性，与上文语意相关，且句中“wake up”与上文“not aware of”形成对比。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“This is why it is of importance that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.(这就是每个人在使用互联网时都应该谨慎的原因。以下建议可能会防止你的身份被盗窃)”可知，本段讲使用互联网应谨慎，要防止你的身份被盗用，F 项“There is no cure for identity theft except prevention.(预防是阻止身份盗用犯罪的唯一办法)”讲阻止身份盗用犯罪的唯一办法是“预防”，是下文“every person should become cautious when using the Internet”的原因，并引出关于“prevent you from identity theft”的建议。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify an identity, and thieves can use this information, too.(你的出生日期、就读学校的名字、电话号码或你父母的名字经常被要求用来验证身份，身份盗用罪犯也可以使用这些信息) ”可知，犯罪份子会盗用个人信息，所以作者的第二建议应该是不要泄露你的个人信息，B项“Give away your personal information on social networking sites with the utmost caution.(在社交网站上泄露你的个人信息时要格外小心)”符合语境。故选B项。

44. have been marked
45. printed
46. a 47. commonly
48. represents
49. its 50. performing
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章举例讲述了单词red在很多美国习语中的使用。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：它可以用来表示幸福，比如“一个值得纪念的日子”。空格处用名词作宾语，happy的名词是happiness，是不可数名词，意为“幸福”，故填happiness。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这一天会有特别的事情发生。空格处引导的是定语从句，先行词day是时间，关系词替代先行词在从句中作时间状语，因此空格处用关系副词when，故填when。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：这种表达可能是基于教会习俗。be based on是固定短语，意为“基于”，因此空格处是介词on，故填on。
【44题详解】
考查动词语态和。句意：近六百年来，教会日历一直用红色标记来表示特殊的圣日。空格处是谓语，日历被标记，由For almost six hundred years可知，时态是现在完成时，因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态，主语calendars是复数，因此空格处是have been marked，故填have been marked。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天的日历仍然是这样标记的，节日和特殊日子的日期用红色印刷。此处是with复合结构，date和print之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词，表被动，故填printed。
【46题详解】
考查冠词。句意：也可能是有惊喜的一天。surprise表示“惊喜”，是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，surprise是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【47题详解】
考查副词。句意：“Rolling out the red carpet”是另一个经常听到的表达，表示任何形式的热烈欢迎。空格处用副词修饰动词heard，common的副词是commonly，意为“通常”。故填commonly。
【48题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：“Rolling out the red carpet”是另一个经常听到的表达，表示任何形式的热烈欢迎。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，which指代的先行词expression是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填represents。
【49题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：当棒球队赢得冠军后回到家乡时，一个城市可能会“铺上红地毯”欢迎他们。it和baseball team是所属关系，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词its修饰baseball team，故填its。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：To be caught red-handed是指在做错事时被抓住。be caught doing意为“被抓到做某事”，因此空格处是performing。故填performing。
第三部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)

Nowadays Senior 3 students are generally faced with a lot of pressure, that is rather common. To reduce it, the following suggestion may help. First of all, know exactly what lead to your pressure, and then you can take measures to deal with it. Secondly, set a goal that is not too high. In the other words, don’t put too many pressure on yourself. Thirdly, find a way to relax yourself occasionally. For example, you can listen music, go swimming or just simple go walking. Eventually, make friends with others, such as your classmates, your teachers and our parents. They will understand you and come to your help when you were really in trouble. In a word, never get yourself sticking in the pressure, for “impossible is nothing”.
【答案】①that →which   ②suggestion →suggestions   ③lead →leads  
④去掉the   ⑤many →much   ⑥listen后添加to   ⑦simple →simply
⑧our →your  ⑨were →are ⑩ sticking →stuck
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章提出了有助于高三学生减少压力的几点建议。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：现在高三学生普遍面临着很大的压力，这是相当普遍的。分析句子，句中使用which引导非限制性定语从句，关系代词which指代上文整个主句内容并在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。
2.考查名词的数。句意：为了减少压力，下面的建议可能会有所帮助。分析句子，设空处使用名词suggestion作主语，根据下文的介绍可知此处表示复数意义，故将suggestion改为suggestions。
3.考查主谓一致。句意：首先，确切地知道是什么导致了你的压力，然后你可以采取措施来处理它。分析句子，宾语从句中what作主语，谓语动词用单数，故将lead改为leads。
4.考查冠词。句意：换句话说，不要给自己太多压力。句中in other words为固定短语。故将the删除。
5.考查形容词。句意：同上。句中pressure为不可数名词，故应该使用much来修饰。故将many改为much。
6.考查介词。句意：例如，你可以听音乐，去游泳或只是简单地散步。句中listen to为固定短语。故在listening后添加to。
7.考查副词。句意：同上。句中使用simple的副词形式修饰go walking作状语，意为“简单地，只是”。故将simple改为simply。
8.考查代词。句意：最后，和别人交朋友，比如你的同学、老师和父母。根据句意，此处表示“你的同学、你的老师和你的父母”，故将our改为your。
9.考查动词。句意：他们会理解你，在你真正遇到困难的时候帮助你。分析句子，when引导的时间状语从句表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。故将were改为are。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意：总之，永远不要让自己陷入压力中，因为“不可能是什么”。句中get stuck in为固定短语，意为“陷入……”，此处使用过去分词表被动。故将sticking改为stuck。
