 Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)A[2016·中原名校联考]Family Photo Competition: The Winners!Adult winner: Anan Marriage, 42, from HertfordshireThis is just one photograph from a huge collection I have of my four children growing up. It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest. I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.Adult runner－up: Chris Evans, 49, from LondonThis photo was taken on the beach of Norfolk. We've been going there as a family for the last six years－the kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches, picnics and ice creams. This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach. It took them less time to dig the hole than it would to complete a level of Sonic the Hedgehog－a video game－but they had twice as much fun! Under－18s winner:  Rhine Cunningham, 17, from ColchesterI thought up the idea while watching my dog sit near our boots, wanting to go for a walk. It took quite a few attempts to get her to stay still, but I finally got this one. I really like this photo because it looks as if my dog is saying, “Can we go for a walk now？”Under－18s runner－up:  Hope Simpson, 13, from County DurhamThis is a photo of me, my mum and dad, my brother and our dog. I took it with my cell phone. It's a special picture because it was the first time we'd been able to go out for a walk in over a year－I was recovering from CRPS   (复杂性局部疼痛综合征)  and had been in a wheelchair.  But my family got me through a really tough time.本文是应用文。文章介绍了家庭摄影大赛的四幅获奖作品。1．What makes Anna Marriage's photo special?A．Why it was taken.   B．How it was taken.C．When it was taken. D．Where it was taken.答案：B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest. I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.”可知这幅作品是把相机固定在Anan Marriage丈夫的胸前拍摄的，因此它的拍摄方式很特别，呈现出来的视角也不同寻常。2．Which of the following can we see in Chris Evans' picture?A．A sandy beach.   B．Ice creams.C．A video game.   D．The sights of London.答案：A　 细节理解题。由第二段中的“This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach.”可知答案。3．Whose photo features a pet?A．Anna Marriage's. B．Chris Evans'.C．Rhine Cunningham's. D．Hope Simpson's.答案：C　细节理解题。通读全文，只有18岁以下组的两幅作品介绍中提到了宠物狗。再根据Rhine Cunningham在介绍自己作品时，以自己的宠物为主题及Hope Simpson的作品是一张全家福(This is a photo of me, my mum and dad, my brother and our dog.)可知只有Rhine Cunningham的作品是以宠物为主的。1．fasten vt. 系牢；使固定  2.creative adj. 有创造力的3．attempt n．/vt. 尝试；试图  4.recover vi. 恢复5．tough adj. 艰难的；坚强的1．look forward to 期待；盼望  2.think up 想起；虚构B[2016·天水三中质检三]Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20－year study recently published in the American journal Public Health.Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation (关联) between their social skills as kindergarteners and their success as adults two decades later.In the research, teachers assessed how the kindergarteners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting, whether they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and whether they can solve problems on their own.Researchers then kept track of whether the students go on to graduate from high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full－time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse， public assistance, and mental health issues.The results showed that socially capable children are far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full－time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also have a higher chance of getting arrested， binge drinking, and applying for public housing.“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future，” said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.  “From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted. ”The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention (干预) at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills.“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on，” he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life.”美国的一项研究发现孩子们在幼儿园期间学到的社交技巧与他们未来的成功密不可分。4．What did the 20－year study find?A．Most kindergarteners can solve problems alone.B．Helpful children understand others' feelings better.C．Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.D．Social skills play a key role in children's development.答案：D 考查推理判断。根据文章的前三段的内容可知，这项为期20年的研究发现孩子们在幼儿园期间学到的社交技巧与他们未来的成功密不可分。故选D。 5．What's Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly about?A．When the researchers began their study.B．How long it took to complete the study.C．How the researchers conducted the study.D．What factors were studied by the researchers.答案：C 考查段落大意。第二和第三段主要介绍了研究者是如何进行这项研究的。故选C。6．What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?A．Teach them how to cooperate with others.B．Teach them some basic living skills.C．Tell them to keep off alcohol.D．Coach them in their lessons.答案：A 考查推理判断。根据第六段的内容可知，Kristin Schubert认为家长帮助孩子培养社交和感情技巧是很重要的，这样能帮助孩子走向成功。故选A。A项中的“how to cooperate with others”属于社交技巧。7．According to the passage, it is probably intended for ________.A．teenagers B．educatorsC．doctors D．general readers答案：B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段的内容可知，研究者Damon Jones认为，结合其他的研究，帮助孩子培养社交技能显然能够促进孩子在学习、工作和生活方面的成功。由此可推知，本文可能是为教育工作者撰写的。故选B。 1．predict vt. 预测  2.criteria n. 标准3．abuse n．/vt. 滥用；虐待  4.arrest vt. 逮捕5．competence n. 能力；胜任1．keep track of 记录；与……保持联系2．lead to 导致原文：But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life.(it作为形式主语)译文：但是与其它研究结合，很显然帮助儿童开发这些技能增加了他们在学校，工作和生活中成功的可能。仿写：It_is_obvious_to_the_students_that they should get well prepared for their future.很显然，对学生来说他们应为未来做好准备。Ⅱ.七选五(建议用时7′)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。[2016·荆州质检]Have you ever found it difficult to understand a text or express your own idea? In fact, someone who always comes across these kinds of problems may have learning disabilities. Today we begin a series of programs about learning disabilities. These are disorders in the ways that people understand or use language. They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak or to read and write. They can also affect the ability to do mathematics. __1__ Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are unintelligent or do not want to work. __2__Researchers say that as many as one of every five people in the United States has some kind of learning disability. Almost three－million children in the United States receive some kind of help in school for a learning disability.__3__ Experts look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no one sign of a disorder. A few signs of learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task.__4__ One person may have trouble understanding mathematics. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing. These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names.

But there is no one sign of a disorder.”可知是寻找如何判断一个人是否有学习障碍的方法，但没有明显标记。4．A　由本段内容可知。5．D　本段主要讲如何帮助学习障碍者学习。Ⅲ.语法填空(建议用时8′)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。  [2016·武邑质检]A motto is a sentence or a phrase __1__ can inspire us especially when we are __2__ (face) with difficulties.
