Sectin B (22%)
Directdns: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
I knw when the snw melts and the first rbins (知更鸟) cme t call, when the laughter f children returns t the parks and playgrunds, smething wnderful is abut t happen.
Spring cleaning.
I’ll admit spring cleaning is a difficult ntin fr mdern families t grasp. Tday’s busy families hardly have time t lad the dishwasher, much less clean the drmat. Asking the family t spend the weekend cllecting winter dg piles frm the melting snw in the backyard is like annuncing there will be n mre Wi-Fi. It interrupts the natural rder.
“Hney, hw abut spending the weekend beating the rugs, srting thrugh the bxes in the basement and painting ur bedrm a nice lemny yellw?” I ask.
“Can we at least wait until the NBA matches are ver?” my husband answers.
But I tell my family, spring cleaning can’t wait. The temperature has risen just enugh t melt snw but nt enugh fr Little League practice t start. Sme flwers are peeking ut f the thawing grund, but there is n lawn t seed, nr garden t tend. Newly wakened frm ur winter’s hibernatin, yet still needing extra blankets at night, we pen ur windws t the first fresh air flating n the breeze with all f the natural wrld demanding “Awake and be clean!”
Bilgists ffer a thery abut this primal impulse t clean ut every drawer and clset in the huse at spring’s first light, which has t d with melatnin, the sleepytime hrmne ur bdies prduce when it’s dark. When spring’s light cmes, the melatnin declines, and suddenly we are awakened t the dusty, virus- filled huse we’ve been hibernating in fr the past fur mnths.
I tell my family abut the science and psychlgy f a gd healthy cleaning at spring arrival. I speak t them abut life’s greatest rewards waiting in the remval f sap scum (浮垢) frm the bathtub, which hasn’t been prperly cleaned since the first snwfall.
“I’ll d it,” says the eldest child, a 21-year-ld cllege student wh lives at hme. “Yu will? Ww!” I exclaim.
Maybe after all these years, he’s finally grasped the cncept. Maybe he’s expressing his rightful psitin as eldest child and rle mdel. Or maybe he’s ging t Flrida fr a break in a cuple f weeks and he’s being nice t me, the financial-aid fficer.
N matter. Seeing my adult sn willingly cleaning that dirty bathtub gives me hpe fr the future f his 12-year-ld brther wh, instead f wrking, was fund t be sleeping in the seat f the windw he was suppsed t be cleaning.
“Awake and be clean!” I say.

A. Because spring is the best time fr us t relax urselves.
B. Because there will be mre activities when it gets warmer.

It interrupts the natural rder.(我承认,对于现代家庭来说,春季大扫除是一个难以理解的概念。如今忙碌的家庭几乎没有时间去洗碗,更不用说清洗门垫了。让家人花周末的时间从后院融化的雪中收集冬天的狗堆,就像宣布不再有Wi-Fi一样。它扰乱了自然秩序)”可知,对于现代家庭来说,春季大扫除是一个难以理解的概念,故它不再是一件自然而然去做的事情,故选B。

(C)
Tday China is the wrld’s biggest cnsumer f wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.
Wheat nly came t the area nw knwn as nrthern China tward the end f the Nelithic (新石器) perid, sme 4,600 years ag. Initially, wheat didn’t seem t be s delicius and had been treated as a crp f desperatin rather than a cking delight. The first farmers f nrthern China primarily grew millet (粟), starting as early as 11,500 years ag. By the time f the Tang dynasty, wheat had replaced millet, becming a majr crp. But relatively little was knwn abut exactly why this shift ccurred.
In an attempt t track the answer, I accumulated (积累) a cllectin f nearly 1,200 data pints cvering mre than 50 sites frm the mid-Nelithic, abut 9,000 years ag, t the cllapse f the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were acrss 8 mdern prvinces, ranging frm Gansu prvince in the nrthwest t Shandng prvince in the east.
One pssible explanatin is a majr climate shift, called the Hlcene Event 3, which happened 4,000 t 4,500 years ag. At that time, the climate became clder and drier acrss cntinents, causing damage t crp prductin.
On tp f this, the late Nelithic perid was als a time f rapid ppulatin grwth arund the wrld. With an ever-increasing ppulatin and unsteady crp prductin, it is reasnable t assume that Nelithic farmers in nrthern China were struggling.
Wheat, it turns ut, actually needs mre water than millet, making it seem a pr chice fr a dry perid f histry. But imprtantly, it can be swed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the mst likely reasn why the peple acrss nrthern China started t grw wheat.
Frm mre extreme weather t changing castlines, climate change has always brught unexpected and smetimes dramatic changes t scieties. In this instance, the cnsequence f the Hlcene Event 3 in nrthern China prved, eventually, delicius.
43. What can we learn abut wheat frm the secnd paragraph?
A. It replaced millet fr its great taste.B. It was a pr chice at the beginning.
C. It utnumbered millet 4,600 years ag.D. It was the earliest crp grwn in China.
44. What d the figures in paragraph 3 shw?
A. The authr fund the exact answer.B. The authr did the research cautiusly.
C. The authr did extensive research.D. The authr was gd at cllecting data.
45. What was prbably the main reasn fr nrtherners in China t grw wheat?
A. The water supply was enugh then.B. The harvest f millet was nt satisfying.
C. It adjusted t the weather cnditins better.D. It had an alternative swing seasn with millet.
46. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw was millet intrduced t China?
B. Why did Chinese farmers switch t wheat?
C. Hw did China becme the biggest wheat cnsumer?
D. Hw was China’s wheat grwth affected by climate change?
【答案】43. B 44. C 45. D 46. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了小麦开始作为农作物的历史以及小麦成为了主要农作物这种转变的原因。

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Initially, wheat didn’t seem t be s delicius and had been treated as a crp f desperatin rather than a cking delight.(起初,小麦似乎并不好吃,人们把它当作一种绝望的作物,而不是烹饪的乐趣)”可知,小麦一开始是一个糟糕的选择。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In an attempt t track the answer, I accumulated a cllectin f nearly 1,200 data pints cvering mre than 50 sites frm the mid-Nelithic, abut 9,000 years ag, t the cllapse f the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were acrss 8 mdem prvinces, ranging frm Gansu prvince in the nrthwest t Shandng prvince in the east.(为了找到答案,我收集了近1200个数据点,涵盖了50多个地点,从大约9000年前的新石器时代中期到公元220年东汉王朝的崩溃。这些遗址横跨8个现代省份,从西北部的甘肃省到东部的山东省)”可推知,第三段中的数字说明了作者做了广泛的研究。故选C。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But imprtantly, it can be swed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the mst likely reasn why the peple acrss nrthern China started t grw wheat.(但重要的是,它可以在谷子收获后播种。我们认为,这最有可能是中国北方人开始种植小麦的原因)”可知,中国北方人种植小麦的主要原因是它有一个可选择的播种季节。故选D。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tday China is the wrld’s biggest cnsumer f wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.(如今,中国是世界上最大的小麦消费国。但事情并不总是这样的)”以及第二段中“But relatively little was knwn abut exactly why this shift ccurred.(但人们对这种转变发生的确切原因知之甚少)”可知,文章介绍了小麦开始作为农作物的历史以及小麦成为了主要农作物这种转变的原因。可知,故B选项“为什么中国农民转向种植小麦?”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一份好的老师推荐信对你的大学申请来说是一笔财富,文章主要就如何找老师写推荐信给出了一些专家的建议。
【47题详解】
根据上文“A great teacher recmmendatin can be an asset t yur cllege applicatin. But admissin fficers read hundreds f nt-s-great recmmendatins every year — the nes that, while psitive, dn’t really tell them much abut the students.(一份好的老师推荐信对你的大学申请来说是一笔财富。但是招生官每年都会读到几百封不太好的推荐信——这些推荐信虽然积极,但并没有真正告诉他们关于学生的很多信息)”以及后文“Read n fr sme advice frm the experts. (继续往下读,听听专家们的建议)”可知,上文提到推荐信虽然积极,但并没有真正告诉他们关于学生的很多信息,即没有具体突出学生的独特性,可知本句为设问句,旨在引出后文的建议,故F选项“那么你怎样才能提高你的建议信“独特而具体”的几率呢?”符合语境,故选F。
【48题详解】
根据上文““Every schl has a favrite teacher that the majrity f the senir class is ging t ask t write fr them — if yu must ask this persn, ask early,” says Avis Hinksn, dean f admissin at Mills Cllege.(“每个学校都有一个最喜欢的老师,大多数高年级学生都会请他为他们写作——如果你一定要问这个人,那就早点问,”米尔斯学院的招生主任Avis Hinksn说)”可知,上文提到了早点问老师,本句继续就这一点进行说明,故C选项“学生应该尽早提出要求——如果可能的话,在截止日期前几个月或几个星期提出要求”符合语境,故选C。
【49题详解】
根据上一段““Give the teacher the chance t say n,” advises Shelley Krause, assistant directr, admissin, at the Cllege f New Jersey. “The verwhelming majrity f the recmmendatins we receive are psitive, but we d ccasinally see letters that the teacher clearly wishes he r she had nt agreed t write, prbably because he r she felt there was n graceful way t decline.”(“给老师一个说不的机会,”新泽西学院招生助理主任Shelley Krause建议道。“我们收到的绝大多数推荐信都是正面的,但我们偶尔也会看到老师明显希望他或她不同意写的信,可能是因为他或她觉得没有婉转的方式来拒绝。”)”以及上文““Teachers and cunselrs are busy peple; they have families and lives utside f schl,” says David Busquet, assistant vice president, enrllment, at Iwa State University.(“老师和辅导员都是很忙的人;他们有家庭,在校外生活,”爱荷华州立大学负责招生的助理副校长David Busquet说)”可知,上文提到一些信并不是老师自愿写的,说明推荐信最好找那些对你有正面评价的老师。故D选项“要得到独特的推荐信,就去找那些对你有正面评价的老师”符合语境,故选D。
【50题详解】
根据后文“Recmmendatins are always strnger when they cite specific examples f a student’s wrk(当他们引用学生作业的具体例子时,推荐信总是更有说服力)”可知,后文提到了把作业作为例子,E选项中assignments对应后文中wrk。故E选项“保存你写的论文和作业,当你让老师写推荐信时,把它们的复印件给他”符合语境,故选E。
IV. Summary Writing(10%)
51. Directins: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary within 60 wrds in yur wn wrds accrding t the passage given belw.
“Parents tday want their kids spending time n things that can bring them success, but irnically, we’ve stpped ding ne thing that’s actually been a prven predictr f success—and that’s husehld chres.” says Richard Rende, a develpmental psychlgist in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and c-authr f the frthcming bk “raising Can-D Kids”. Decades f studies shw the benefits f chres--academically, emtinally and prfessinally.
Giving children husehld chres at an early age helps t build a lasting sense f mastery, respnsibility and independence, accrding t research by Marty Rssmann, prfessr at the University f Minnesta. In 2002, Dr. Rssmann analyzed data frm a lngitudinal(纵向的) study that fllwed 84 children acrss fur perids in their lives--in preschl arund ages 10 and 15, and in their mid-20s. She fund that yung adults wh began chres at ages 3 and 4 were mre likely t have gd relatinships with family and friends and t achieve academic and early career success and t be self-sufficient, as cmpared with thse wh didn’t have chres r wh started them as teens.
Chres als teach children hw t be empathetic and respnsive t thers’ needs, ntes psychlgist Richard Weissburd. In research, his team surveyed 10,000 high-schl students and asked them t rank what they treasured mre: achievement, happiness r caring fr thers. Almst 80% chse either achievement r happiness ver caring fr thers. As he pints ut, hwever, research suggests that persnal happiness cmes mst reliably nt frm high achievement but frm strng relatinships. “We’re ut f balance,” says Dr. Weissburd. A gd way t start re-adjusting pririties, he suggests, is by learning t be kind and helpful at hme.
The next time that yur child asks t skip chres t d hmewrk, resist the urge t let him r her ff the hk. Being slack(懈怠的) abut chres when they cmpete with schl sends yur child the message that grades and achievement are mre imprtant than caring abut thers. What may seem like small messages in the mment add up t big nes ver time.
【答案】Parents tday verlk the significance f kids sharing husewrk, but studies shw chres help children develp better in studies, mental health and even future careers. Besides, it enables kids t becme respnsible and self- reliant. Still, by ding their share f chres, kids grw t be lving, caring and helpful. S it’s imprtant fr parents t let children take up husewrk.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇概要写作。
【详解】概要写作
写作步骤
1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。文章主要说明了如今的父母忽视了让孩子分担家务的重要性,但研究表明,家务可以帮助孩子在学习、心理健康甚至未来的职业生涯中发展得更好。此外,它使孩子成为负责任和自力更生。尽管如此,通过分担家务,孩子们成长为有爱心、有爱心和乐于助人的人。所以父母让孩子承担家务是很重要的。
2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。因此一定要弄清文章结构,归纳文章各段大意。
3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。
4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:
(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。
(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。
(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。
(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。
(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。

52. 一听到他的哥哥在地震中幸存下来的消息,他忍不住大哭起来。(burst)(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Upn hearing the news that his brther had survived the earthquake, he culdn’t help but burst int tears.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和同位语从句。句子包含主语“他”的两个主要行为:“忍不住大哭”和“听到消息”,前者是讲述重点,故应构成句子主干。根据汉语提示可知,“他的哥哥在地震中幸存下来”是“消息”的内容,故此处可用同位语从句来表示;又因为“幸存”发生在“大哭”这一动作的过去,蕴含着“已经幸存下来”的意味,故从句时态可用过去完成时;由于他在听到消息后立刻大哭,可以用非谓语动词固定结构“Upn ding…”来表达“一……就”,故句子前半句可译为“Upn hearing the news that his brther had survived the earthquake”。主句中“忍不住做……”用固定短语“can’t help but d…”来表示,此句可能是在描述过去的一个场景,故可用过去式“culdn’t help but d…”;根据提示词burst可知,“大哭”用短语“burst int tears”来表示,故主句可译为“he culdn’t help but burst int tears”。故翻译为Upn hearing the news that his brther had survived the earthquake, he culdn’t help but burst int tears.
53. 如果你时常感到焦虑不安,是时候采取行动让你的学习和生活恢复平衡了。(stress v.) (汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】If yu are ften stressed ut, it’s time t take actin t restre balance t yur study and life.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、固定句型、动词短语和名词短语。“如果你时常感到焦虑不安”用if“如果”引导条件状语从句,时态用一般现在时,主语“你”用代词yu,“时常”用副词ften,“感到焦虑不安”可用动词短语stress ut的被动形式be stressed ut,be动词应用are;“是时候采取行动让你的学习和生活恢复平衡了”为主句,可用固定句型it is time t sth.表示“是做某事的时候了”,“采取行动做某事”用动词短语take actin t d sth.,“让……恢复平衡”可用动词短语restre balance t,“你的学习和生活”可用名词短语yur study and life。故译为:If yu are ften stressed ut, it’s time t take actin t restre balance t yur study and life.
54. 正是高中的学习经历使我相信,不论过程多么艰难,我们的努力终将得到回报。(It...;cnvince) (汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was the learning experience in high schl that cnvinced me that n matter hw hard the prcess was, ur effrts wuld eventually pay ff.
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句和宾语从句以及时态。根据句意可知,“正是高中的学习经历使我相信”为强调句式:it be +被强调部分+that+其他部分。句子陈述过去的事情,为一般过去时。“高中的学习经历”为learning experience in high schl, 作主语,为被强调部分;“使……相信”为动词cnvince, “使我相信……”表达为cnvince me that...,that引导宾语从句。宾语从句“不论过程多么艰难,我们的努力终将得到回报”表达为含有n matter hw引导的让步状语从句的主从复合句;“艰难”为形容词hard,“过程”为名词prcess,“不论过程多么艰难”状语从句的结构为: n matter hw+形容词+主语+谓语,时态为一般过去时。“我们的努力”为名词短语ur effrts,“得到回报”为动词短语pay ff,“我们的努力终将得到回报”用过去将来时,表达为ur effrts wuld eventually pay ff。故翻译为:It was the learning experience in high schl that cnvinced me that n matter hw hard the prcess was, ur effrts wuld eventually pay ff.
55. 当你下定决心要帮助那些陷入困境的人时,考虑到对方的感受是必要的,以免伤害到他们的自尊心。(accunt) (汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When yu are determined t help thse wh are in truble, it is necessary t take their feelings int accunt s as nt t hurt their self-esteem.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、定语从句、固定句型和固定短语。根据所给中文提示词,“当你下定决心要帮助那些陷入困境的人时”用when引导的时间状语从句,主语是“你”,译为yu,“下定决心”用动词短语be determined t,本句描述一般性的情况,用一般现在时,be动词用are,“帮助那些陷入困境的人”可用定语从句,先行词是thse,在从句中作主语,用wh引导,译为help thse wh are in truble;“考虑到对方的感受是必要的,以免伤害到他们的自尊心”为主句,此处用固定句型it is necessary t d sth.,“考虑到”用动词短语take int accunt,“以免”用固定搭配s as nt t,“伤害到他们的自尊心”可用动词hurt和名词短语their self-esteem搭配。故译为:When yu are determined t help thse wh are in truble, it is necessary t take their feelings int accunt s as nt t hurt their self-esteem.
