A
It was just before 8 a.m.on October 17, 2010.She’d checked the higher summits forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left.Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic.Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed.
At 10:30 a.m., the weather was showing its teeth.Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day.Then she noticed something:a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her.She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail.But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers.She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on.
Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.Bales stood there, shocked.The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away.If Bales continued to follow the tracks.she’d add risk and time to the route she’d already adjusted to manage both.But she could not let this go.She turned to the left and called out, “Hello!”into the frozen fog.
Bales wouldn’t get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail.It read: “I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers.I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John.On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life.Weather was to be bad.Thought no one else would be there.I was dressed to go quickly.Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer.
1. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The weather began to get worse.
B. Nobody controlled the weather.
C. Weather could never be predicted.
D. Weather was generally changeable.
2. Why did Bales feel really frightened?
A. Because she lost her way completely.
B. Because the terrible weather was on the way.
C. Because she was blinded by the frozen fog.
D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.
3. What is the purpose of John’s hiking?
A. To challenge his limit.
B. To go up his favorite trail.
C. To donate some money to rescue group.
D. To kill himself without being discovered.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D
【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。尽管很害怕，尽管天气情况很糟糕，她还是跟着脚印继续前进，最终救了那个人。一周后才知道那人名叫约翰，当时准备自杀。
【1题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分下文Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.可知贝尔斯增加更多的衣服来保护自己免受寒风和浓雾的侵袭，由此推断划线部分的意思是“天气正在变得更糟”。A. The weather began to get worse.（天气开始变得更差）符合以上说法。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life.Weather was to be bad.Thought no one else would be there.I was dressed to go quickly.可知，约翰这天选择这条线路去登山的目的是在没人看见的情况下结束自己的生命，所以他穿的很少，以便快速行走。D. To kill himself without being discovered.（不被发现的情况下结束自己的生命）符合以上说法。故选D。
【点睛】做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择。如第2小题，根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。
B
I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy, something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly laid off.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.
4. What did the red tape across the writer’s door mean?
A. There was a burglary here. B. The house couldn’t be entered freely.
C. The rent had to be paid quickly. D. The rental agent advertised for the house.
5. What did the agent promise to do?
A. To fix the locks the next day. B. To report the burglary to the police.
C. To have an iron security gate fixed. D. To pay for missing things for the writer.
6. Which can best show the change of the author’s feeling after she learned of the burglary?
A. puzzled→ anxious→ relaxed. B. shocked→ sorrowful→ nervous.
C. shocked→ desperate→ hopeful. D. puzzled→ relieved→ confident.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Red Tape B. A Jewelry Box C. “Lost” Smile D. Grandma’s Advice
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
本文是记叙文，讲述了作者在一次失窃中，原以为自己的珍贵物品——奶奶的照片被偷了而心情沮丧，后来又偶然找到了。看到奶奶在对自己微笑，作者无比高兴。文章表达了对奶奶照片的珍惜之情。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE” （红色胶带贴在门上，虽然作者不懂西班牙语，但是根据上面的英语单词“POLICE”）可知，作者知道这是警局；又根据第二段Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t看出，作者觉得如果进去了会被抓，所以没有随便进去。故选 B 项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段My agent’s words were fuzzy，something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police可知经纪人跟作者说的话含含糊糊，说什么明天会修好锁，会列出失窃物品的清单给警察。故选 A 项
【6题详解】
推理判断题。第四段：I was in shock和第五段：My heart sank和the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried以及最后一段：Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up . I started to cry。这些语句描述了作者遭失窃后的情绪变化：一开始吃惊，后来以为放奶奶照片的盒子也被偷了，就情绪低落；过了6个月后，偶然地发现奶奶的照片还在抽屉的礼品盒里，在对着作者微笑，好像在告诉作者不要放弃，作者又转悲为喜。故选 C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。故事围绕奶奶的照片是否被盗与作者的心情变化展开，先是以为奶奶的照片被偷了，永远失去了；六个月后又找到了，可以看出作者对奶奶的照片的珍惜之情。故选 C 项。
C
What inspires kids to be creative and pursue academic excellence? Some teachers use rewards in recognition of students’ effort or achievement, giving them prizes, medals, certificates, or money.
Psychologists take opposite views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary(金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in primary school children, suggesting that properly given stimuli(刺激) indeed encourage creativity, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with students lacking in creativity and motivation, Eisenberger says. As an example of the latter point, he particularly mentions growing efforts to tighten grading standards and adopt failing grades at major universities.
In earlier grades, the use of rewarding system, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, Eisenberger claims.
8. Psychologists are divided in their attitudes toward _____.
A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards
B the amount of monetary rewards for students' creativity
C. the relationship between actions and their consequences
D. the effects of external rewards on students' performance
9. Which of the following does NOT belong to examples of “external rewards”?
A. Tom received a certificate for winning a speech competition.
B. Mary was praised by the teacher for making progress in English.
C. Jacky made great efforts to enter a major university.
D. John was offered a free summer camp due to his hard work.
10. Which of the following can best raise students' creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?
A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.
B. Assigning them tasks which require creativity.
C. Giving them rewards they really deserve.
D. Giving them rewards they hope for.
11. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they think _____.
A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students
B. punishing students is more effective than rewarding them
C. failing unmotivated students helps improve their academic standards
D. discouraging students’ expectation of easy rewards is important
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。而教育工作者则认为适当的外部奖励刺激确实能激发创造力，但是如果给予表现不好的学生奖励则可能会扼杀创造力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，外部奖励包括表扬到现金。分析选项可知C选项“杰克努力进入一所重点大学。”并不属于“外部奖励”的例子。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."（位于纽瓦克的特拉华大学的Robert Eisenberger说:“如果孩子们知道他们是为了奖励而工作，并且能够专注于一个相对有挑战性的任务，他们就会表现出最大的创造力。”“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）提到孩子们是为了获得奖赏而从事一项具有挑战性的工作时创造力最强，而如果对那些表现不好的学生也给予奖赏则会扼杀创造力，可见Robert Eisenberger观点是给他们应得的奖励。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中"But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."（“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）可知，如果一个老师对表现不好的学生也给予奖赏就会导致学生缺乏创造力，故从文章中可以推断，各大大学正试图提高他们的评分标准，是因为他们认为奖励不好的表现可能会扼杀学生的创造力。故选A。
D
At one time or another in your life you have probably done origami, even if it was just making a paper airplane or something more complicated like a paper crane. The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.
But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineering? Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to be small when transported and large when they arrive, like the everyday umbrella. In fact, origami-inspired creations have already flown in space; in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.
“It’s now mathematically proven that you can pretty much fold anything,” says physicist Robert J. Lang, who quit his engineering job eight years ago to fold things full time. Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard. He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes according to plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field.
At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthroughs in medicine and computing. There’s no doubt that computers of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory.
Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine. “Some day,” says MIT’s Erik Demaine, “we’ll build reconfigurable (可重构的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers. Too much like science fiction to be true? Maybe—though you certainly wouldn’t want to bet against it.”
12. What do we know about origami?
A. It consumes lots of time. B. It involves interesting ideas.
C. It requires complex techniques. D. It has to do with cutting and pasting.
13. Which of the following is an application of origami?
A. A space telescope lens can be folded to the size of an umbrella.
B. A satellite is equipped with solar panels and a folded map.
C. An airbag can be better folded into a dashboard of a car.
D. A future computer contains many huge folded motors.
14. What is Erik Demaine’s attitude towards origami engineering?
A. Hopeful B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Culture.
C. Education. D. Pop-science.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。折纸是一种具有创造性的传统艺术，而现在它已经被应用到技术工程领域，人们利用折纸原理创造出了很多可折叠的装置。折纸工程将在很大程度上影响未来的医药、计算机和机器人行业。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段的The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.可知，折纸是一个具有创造性的传统艺术，我们不用裁剪或拼贴，只通过折叠就可以把一张正方形或者三角形的纸变成动物、纸盒、花、船等东西，由此推测折纸需要有创造性的和有趣的想法。B. It involves interesting ideas.（它需要有趣的想法）符合以上推测，故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.可知折纸爱好者Lang向一位制造商建议了把安全气囊折叠到仪表盘中的最佳方式。C. An airbag can be better folded into a dashboard of a car.（安全气囊能被更好地折叠到汽车仪表盘中）符合以上说法，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine可知Erik Demaine认为折纸工程的应用远远超出了我们的想象，由此可推测Erik Demaine对折纸工程的未来充满希望。A. Hopeful（充满希望的）符合以上推断，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.第三段段的Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard. 第四段的There’s no doubt that computers of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. 和第五段的Some day,” says MIT’s Erik Demaine, “we’ll build reconfigurable (可重构的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers.可知卫星，安全气囊的折叠，未来电脑的发展和未来可重构机器人，这些都和科学技术相关，故推测本文很有可能出现在报纸的科学板块。D. Pop-science.（大众科学）符合以上推测，故选D项。

“Compound interest---what’s that?” I asked.
“Well, interest is what you call the___24___money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,” she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the___25___you take to pay back the loan.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位13岁的美国男孩准备攀登珠穆朗玛峰，如果他成功登顶，他将创下最年轻登顶的纪录，此前的纪录是一名16岁男孩保持的。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果这个13岁的美国男孩成功攀登珠穆朗玛峰，他的雄心壮志——从世界之巅挑一块小岩石作为纪念品，然后戴在自己的脖子上。in one’s effort to do sth意为努力做…，故填to climb。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：对于我来说，它是我说的“这是山顶的一块石头”的某个东西。分析句子可知，say的主语和宾语都是这个小男孩，因此需要使用反身代词。故填myself。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：他星期天出发上山。文章第一句提到“If this 13-year-old American boy succeeds in his effort…”如果这个小男孩成功了的话，说明男孩那时还未出发登山，leave for意为出发至某处，为固定搭配，故填for。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：如果他成功的话，他就会成为最年轻的登山员。分析句子可知，男孩成为登山员的条件是他成功了，即指某一件事情实现之后（状语从句中的动作），其它事情（主句中的动作）才能发生，通常译作“假如、如果…”，在含有条件状语从句的复合句中，表示将来时态，主句是一般将来时态，祈使句或情态动词，从句要用现在时态，即主将从现原则，该句中主语he是第三人称单数形式，因此句中谓语也要使用三单形式。故填succeeds。
【45题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：如果他成功的话，他就会成为爬上8850米珠穆朗玛峰最年轻的登山员。分析句子可知，youngest为形容词的最高级，因此需要定冠词the修饰限定，故填the。
46题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前，一名16岁的尼泊尔男孩Temba Tsheri Sherpa保持着世界最年轻的珠穆朗玛峰登山者纪录。分析句子可知，需用副词作状语修饰整个句子。故填Currently。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但在创造了攀登纪录后，Romero说他并不是。分析句子可知，after为介词，介词后动词需使用动名词形式，故填setting。
【48题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：Romero说，珠穆朗玛峰是他攀登七大洲最高峰的目标之一。分析句子可知，seven是复数概念，因此修饰的名词需用复数形式。故填continents。
【49题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：他自信地说。分析文章可知，整篇文章使用了一般过去时，为保证时态一致性，因此需使用一般过去时，故填said。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意：我知道这需要很大的耐心。分析句子可知，a lot of后接名词，因此需将patient改为名词形式。故填patience。
【点睛】关于a lot/ a lot的区别
a lot of表示许多，等于many/ lots of，常用于可数名词复数或不可数名词前面，但many只能接可数名词复数。
a lot是比较灵活的副词性短语，如My pig eats a lot，a lot作副词，是eats这个动作的补语。

Yesterday my Chinese teacher asked me recite a poem today in class. I became very anxiously at once because I had never try a poem. Then I realise that if I practised hard, I could succeed. Therefore, I decided to do his best. After I got home, I stayed in my room, spend all my time reading the poem aloud. This morning when the Chinese teachers came in, my heart raced wildly but my face went red. Though I was quite afraid to stand before my classmates, I finally remembered that what to recite. Lucky, I made no mistake at all.
【答案】1.在recite之前加to
2.anxiously→anxious
3.try→tried
4. realise→realised
5. his→my
6. spend→spending
7. teachers→teacher
8. but→and
9. 去掉that
10. Lucky→Luckily
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者接受了语文老师安排的任务—在同学面前朗诵诗歌。作者由最初的担心害怕，经过练习和克服恐惧最终无误的完成朗诵。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词和固定结构。句意：昨天我的语文老师让我今天在课堂上背诵一首诗。分析句子可知ask sb. to do sth， 意为“要求某人做某事”，故在recite之前添加to。
2.考查形容词。句意：我立刻变得非常焦虑，因为我从来没有尝试过一首诗。分析句子结构可知，become为连系动词，之后应接形容词作表语。故将anxiously改为anxious。
3.考查时态。句意：我立刻变得非常焦虑，因为我从来没有尝试过一首诗。分析句子可知为过去完成时结构，即谓语为“had done”结构，故将try改为tried。
4.考查时态。句意：然后我意识到，如果我努力练习，我可以成功。分析文章可知讲述的为过去发生的事情，句子应用一般过去时。故将realise改为realised。
5.考查人称代词。句意：因此，我决定尽自己最大的努力。分析句子可知短语结构try one’s best，意为“尽某人最大的努力”，其中one’s指代主语本人“I”,应用第一人称。故将his 改为my。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：回家后，我呆在房间里，把所有的时间都花在朗读这首诗上。分析句子可知，短语结构“spend all my time reading the poem aloud”作伴随状语，与主语之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故将spend 改为spending。
7.考查名词。句意：今天早上，当语文老师进来的时候，我的心狂跳起来，脸都红了。分析句子可知Chinese teacher 为作者的语文老师，应用单数形式。故将teachers改为teacher。
8.考查连词。句意：今天早上，当语文老师进来的时候，我的心狂跳起来，脸都红了。分析句子可知前后为并列顺承关系，应用并列连词and。故将but 改为and。
9.考查句子结构。句意：虽然我很害怕站在我的同学面前，我终于记住了要背诵什么。分析可知，remember之后为疑问词+to do 不定式作宾语，无需引导词that。故将that删掉。
10.考查副词。句意：幸运的是，我没有犯任何错误。副词位于句首作状语。故将Lucky 改为Luckily。

A
It was just before 8 a.m.on October 17, 2010.She’d checked the higher summits forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left.Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic.Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed.
At 10:30 a.m., the weather was showing its teeth.Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day.Then she noticed something:a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her.She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail.But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers.She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on.
Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.Bales stood there, shocked.The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away.If Bales continued to follow the tracks.she’d add risk and time to the route she’d already adjusted to manage both.But she could not let this go.She turned to the left and called out, “Hello!”into the frozen fog.
Bales wouldn’t get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail.It read: “I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers.I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John.On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life.Weather was to be bad.Thought no one else would be there.I was dressed to go quickly.Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer.
1. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The weather began to get worse.
B. Nobody controlled the weather.
C. Weather could never be predicted.
D. Weather was generally changeable.
2. Why did Bales feel really frightened?
A. Because she lost her way completely.
B. Because the terrible weather was on the way.
C. Because she was blinded by the frozen fog.
D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.
3. What is the purpose of John’s hiking?
A. To challenge his limit.
B. To go up his favorite trail.
C. To donate some money to rescue group.
D. To kill himself without being discovered.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。尽管很害怕，尽管天气情况很糟糕，她还是跟着脚印继续前进，最终救了那个人。一周后才知道那人名叫约翰，当时准备自杀。
【1题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分下文Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.可知贝尔斯增加更多的衣服来保护自己免受寒风和浓雾的侵袭，由此推断划线部分的意思是“天气正在变得更糟”。A. The weather began to get worse.（天气开始变得更差）符合以上说法。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life.Weather was to be bad.Thought no one else would be there.I was dressed to go quickly.可知，约翰这天选择这条线路去登山的目的是在没人看见的情况下结束自己的生命，所以他穿的很少，以便快速行走。D. To kill himself without being discovered.（不被发现的情况下结束自己的生命）符合以上说法。故选D。
【点睛】做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择。如第2小题，根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。
B
I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy, something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly laid off.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.

What inspires kids to be creative and pursue academic excellence? Some teachers use rewards in recognition of students’ effort or achievement, giving them prizes, medals, certificates, or money.
Psychologists take opposite views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary(金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in primary school children, suggesting that properly given stimuli(刺激) indeed encourage creativity, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with students lacking in creativity and motivation, Eisenberger says. As an example of the latter point, he particularly mentions growing efforts to tighten grading standards and adopt failing grades at major universities.
In earlier grades, the use of rewarding system, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, Eisenberger claims.
8. Psychologists are divided in their attitudes toward _____.
A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards
B the amount of monetary rewards for students' creativity
C. the relationship between actions and their consequences
D. the effects of external rewards on students' performance
9. Which of the following does NOT belong to examples of “external rewards”?
A. Tom received a certificate for winning a speech competition.
B. Mary was praised by the teacher for making progress in English.
C. Jacky made great efforts to enter a major university.
D. John was offered a free summer camp due to his hard work.
10. Which of the following can best raise students' creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?
A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.
B. Assigning them tasks which require creativity.
C. Giving them rewards they really deserve.
D. Giving them rewards they hope for.
11. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they think _____.
A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students
B. punishing students is more effective than rewarding them
C. failing unmotivated students helps improve their academic standards
D. discouraging students’ expectation of easy rewards is important
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。而教育工作者则认为适当的外部奖励刺激确实能激发创造力，但是如果给予表现不好的学生奖励则可能会扼杀创造力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，外部奖励包括表扬到现金。分析选项可知C选项“杰克努力进入一所重点大学。”并不属于“外部奖励”的例子。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."（位于纽瓦克的特拉华大学的Robert Eisenberger说:“如果孩子们知道他们是为了奖励而工作，并且能够专注于一个相对有挑战性的任务，他们就会表现出最大的创造力。”“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）提到孩子们是为了获得奖赏而从事一项具有挑战性的工作时创造力最强，而如果对那些表现不好的学生也给予奖赏则会扼杀创造力，可见Robert Eisenberger观点是给他们应得的奖励。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中"But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards."（“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）可知，如果一个老师对表现不好的学生也给予奖赏就会导致学生缺乏创造力，故从文章中可以推断，各大大学正试图提高他们的评分标准，是因为他们认为奖励不好的表现可能会扼杀学生的创造力。故选A。
D
At one time or another in your life you have probably done origami, even if it was just making a paper airplane or something more complicated like a paper crane. The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.
But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineering? Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to be small when transported and large when they arrive, like the everyday umbrella. In fact, origami-inspired creations have already flown in space; in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.
“It’s now mathematically proven that you can pretty much fold anything,” says physicist Robert J. Lang, who quit his engineering job eight years ago to fold things full time. Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard. He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes according to plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field.
At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthroughs in medicine and computing. There’s no doubt that computers of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory.
Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine. “Some day,” says MIT’s Erik Demaine, “we’ll build reconfigurable (可重构的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers. Too much like science fiction to be true? Maybe—though you certainly wouldn’t want to bet against it.”
12. What do we know about origami?
A. It consumes lots of time. B. It involves interesting ideas.
C. It requires complex techniques. D. It has to do with cutting and pasting.
13. Which of the following is an application of origami?
A. A space telescope lens can be folded to the size of an umbrella.
B. A satellite is equipped with solar panels and a folded map.
C. An airbag can be better folded into a dashboard of a car.
D. A future computer contains many huge folded motors.
14. What is Erik Demaine’s attitude towards origami engineering?
A. Hopeful B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Culture.
C. Education. D. Pop-science.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段的The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.可知，折纸是一个具有创造性的传统艺术，我们不用裁剪或拼贴，只通过折叠就可以把一张正方形或者三角形的纸变成动物、纸盒、花、船等东西，由此推测折纸需要有创造性的和有趣的想法。B. It involves interesting ideas.（它需要有趣的想法）符合以上推测，故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.可知折纸爱好者Lang向一位制造商建议了把安全气囊折叠到仪表盘中的最佳方式。C. An airbag can be better folded into a dashboard of a car.（安全气囊能被更好地折叠到汽车仪表盘中）符合以上说法，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine可知Erik Demaine认为折纸工程的应用远远超出了我们的想象，由此可推测Erik Demaine对折纸工程的未来充满希望。A. Hopeful（充满希望的）符合以上推断，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.第三段段的Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard. 第四段的There’s no doubt that computers of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. 和第五段的Some day,” says MIT’s Erik Demaine, “we’ll build reconfigurable (可重构的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers.可知卫星，安全气囊的折叠，未来电脑的发展和未来可重构机器人，这些都和科学技术相关，故推测本文很有可能出现在报纸的科学板块。D. Pop-science.（大众科学）符合以上推测，故选D项。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：他星期天出发上山。文章第一句提到“If this 13-year-old American boy succeeds in his effort…”如果这个小男孩成功了的话，说明男孩那时还未出发登山，leave for意为出发至某处，为固定搭配，故填for。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：如果他成功的话，他就会成为最年轻的登山员。分析句子可知，男孩成为登山员的条件是他成功了，即指某一件事情实现之后（状语从句中的动作），其它事情（主句中的动作）才能发生，通常译作“假如、如果…”，在含有条件状语从句的复合句中，表示将来时态，主句是一般将来时态，祈使句或情态动词，从句要用现在时态，即主将从现原则，该句中主语he是第三人称单数形式，因此句中谓语也要使用三单形式。故填succeeds。
【45题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：如果他成功的话，他就会成为爬上8850米珠穆朗玛峰最年轻的登山员。分析句子可知，youngest为形容词的最高级，因此需要定冠词the修饰限定，故填the。
46题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前，一名16岁的尼泊尔男孩Temba Tsheri Sherpa保持着世界最年轻的珠穆朗玛峰登山者纪录。分析句子可知，需用副词作状语修饰整个句子。故填Currently。

考查非谓语动词。句意：但在创造了攀登纪录后，Romero说他并不是。分析句子可知，after为介词，介词后动词需使用动名词形式，故填setting。
【48题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：Romero说，珠穆朗玛峰是他攀登七大洲最高峰的目标之一。分析句子可知，seven是复数概念，因此修饰的名词需用复数形式。故填continents。
【49题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：他自信地说。分析文章可知，整篇文章使用了一般过去时，为保证时态一致性，因此需使用一般过去时，故填said。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意：我知道这需要很大的耐心。分析句子可知，a lot of后接名词，因此需将patient改为名词形式。故填patience。
【点睛】关于a lot/ a lot的区别
a lot of表示许多，等于many/ lots of，常用于可数名词复数或不可数名词前面，但many只能接可数名词复数。
a lot是比较灵活的副词性短语，如My pig eats a lot，a lot作副词，是eats这个动作的补语。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者接受了语文老师安排的任务—在同学面前朗诵诗歌。作者由最初的担心害怕，经过练习和克服恐惧最终无误的完成朗诵。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词和固定结构。句意：昨天我的语文老师让我今天在课堂上背诵一首诗。分析句子可知ask sb. to do sth， 意为“要求某人做某事”，故在recite之前添加to。
2.考查形容词。句意：我立刻变得非常焦虑，因为我从来没有尝试过一首诗。分析句子结构可知，become为连系动词，之后应接形容词作表语。故将anxiously改为anxious。
3.考查时态。句意：我立刻变得非常焦虑，因为我从来没有尝试过一首诗。分析句子可知为过去完成时结构，即谓语为“had done”结构，故将try改为tried。
4.考查时态。句意：然后我意识到，如果我努力练习，我可以成功。分析文章可知讲述的为过去发生的事情，句子应用一般过去时。故将realise改为realised。
5.考查人称代词。句意：因此，我决定尽自己最大的努力。分析句子可知短语结构try one’s best，意为“尽某人最大的努力”，其中one’s指代主语本人“I”,应用第一人称。故将his 改为my。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：回家后，我呆在房间里，把所有的时间都花在朗读这首诗上。分析句子可知，短语结构“spend all my time reading the poem aloud”作伴随状语，与主语之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故将spend 改为spending。
7.考查名词。句意：今天早上，当语文老师进来的时候，我的心狂跳起来，脸都红了。分析句子可知Chinese teacher 为作者的语文老师，应用单数形式。故将teachers改为teacher。
8.考查连词。句意：今天早上，当语文老师进来的时候，我的心狂跳起来，脸都红了。分析句子可知前后为并列顺承关系，应用并列连词and。故将but 改为and。
9.考查句子结构。句意：虽然我很害怕站在我的同学面前，我终于记住了要背诵什么。分析可知，remember之后为疑问词+to do 不定式作宾语，无需引导词that。故将that删掉。
10.考查副词。句意：幸运的是，我没有犯任何错误。副词位于句首作状语。故将Lucky 改为Luckily。
