二、阅读理解（本题有4小题，共计40分）阅读下面五篇材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案．
2．（6分）Future View
I think it will be great if they invent something so that we only have to sleep for one or two， hours every day．Then we'd all have much more time to do．things and to enjoy ourselves． Life would be better， I think， and everyone would do a lot more with their lives．
Miguel
If I could choose anything， I'd go for a time machine so that I could go back and do some things differently． Of course，that's impossible一but wouldn't it be great if it was possible？ I wish I could go back in time to when I was a kid and say some of the things in a different way!
Hannah
Well， of course， the best thing is medicine for really bad diseases（疾病）．A lot of scientists are working very hard to stop diseases like Ebola，a terrible disease that has killed many thousand people in Africa．So if they， found a special treatment for Ebola， or a way of completely preventing it，life would be easier in so many places．
Isabella

It will be great if there is some kind of fuel（燃料） we can use in cars that won't produce any pollution．I guess there are scientists right now trying to do that， and I hope they'll succeed because the world would be a much cleaner place， wouldn't it？
Charlie
I wish there was a machine that did homework! Wouldn't that be fantastic？ But I guess teachers wouldn't be very happy．
Georgina

3．（8分）Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． As a part of the study， two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．
Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra （管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore （忽视） the other sounds． In this way， musicians can hear certain sounds better， even in a room with lots of noise．
Gottfried Schlaug，a doctor at Harvard Medical School，works with stroke （中风） patients．Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names，addresses， or other information normally．However， they can still sing． Dr． Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak． Why does this work？Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active， including the bad parts． In some way， this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．
So music is not only enjoyable， but also good for us in many other ways． Playing an instrument or singing， says Nina Kraus， can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．


（1）What were the people in tbe first group asked to do in the study of Nothwestern University？　　
A．Listen to different kinds of music．
B． Make some noise in an empty room．
C． Give the second group musical training．
D． Find out what the talking person was saying．
（2）The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain　　．
A． how musicians play in an orchestra
B． how musicians ignore certain sounds
C． why musicians have better hearing ability
D． why musicians are not afraid of loud noise
（3）Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by　　．
A． playing music for them
B．getting them to sing words
C． teaching them to play instruments
D． joining the bad parts of their brain
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？　　
A． To introduce different ways of playing music．
B． To give some advice about making our brain active．
C． To show the relationship between music and language abilities．
D． To sbare the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients．
4．（8分）It's late evening in the middle of the winter． The snow is deep， but off I go into the wild．Suddenly， I hear it： the howl （嚎叫） of wolves． Excitedly， I walk faster in the direction of the howling．
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year． It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them． Like wolves， however， I don't work alone． I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park．
Humans have always feared wolves． From fairy tales to movies， the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals． In the 1920s， the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park．As a result，the number of elk（麋鹿）in the park increased． The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves．This， in turn， stopped trees from growing along the rivers， doing great harm to the environment there．
The return of wolves has already made a big difference． To begin with， the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers， so new trees have been able to grow there． The trees become home to new wildlife， such as birds， and provide food for more animals．
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment． It has also helped the local people make more money， Tourists visit the area，stay in the local hotels， and eat in the local restaurants．
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me， I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone． And happily， it is playing a good guy in this story．

（1）According to the passage， one of a wolf tracker's jobs is to　　．
A． catch wolves in the park
B． feed wolves in the wild
C． stop wolves from killing elk
D． collect information about wolves
（2）Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s？　　
A． The wolves were always howling at night．
B． The elk in the park were in danger of dying out．
C． The wolves had done great harm to the environment．
D． The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around．
（3）Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the　　that wolves have brought to Yellowstone．
A． risks
B． troubles
C． changes
D． competitions
（4）What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？　　
A． Wolves are important to Yellowstone．
B． Yellowstone has been home to wolves．
C． The wolf and the elk live in peace now．
D．The number of wolves is growing fast．
5．（8分）Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time， I'll take a close look at their bookshelves．What they keep on their shelves，in my eyes，is a reflection （反映） of their personal tastes and interests．The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life．
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life， telling a chronological tale． First up come my favorite childhood reads， like Watership Down and His Dark Materials． The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four， The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange． Finally， we come out of full﹣time education and enter the real world， and this part is a reflection of my professional （职业的） life， from the first exciting days of work experience to the present．
If you pointed to any book on my shelves， I could name the year I got it， where I was working，and probably where I was living at the time．
___▲____It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes， dreams and interests． And a big part of that story is how we arrange （排列） our books， and get on with them． It's such a personal thing，different from each other． Some want to be with their books in every room， others have them on
shelves， behind glass or simply lining their floors． Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books．
It's often said that what we read says something about who we are． The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves． From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well﹣organized shelves， whether we notice it or not， our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned．

（1）The book son the writer's own shelves are organized according to　　．
A． their prices

B． Each bookshelf holds a special dream．
C． Book collections tell so much about a person．
D． The books a person reads depend on his choices，
（3）The writer seems to agree that　　．
A． we'd better not put our books on the floor
B． the way we arrange our books shows our tastes
C． the books at our bedside are usually more important
D． we Can know about a person by reading the message he sends
（4）It can be learned from the passage that the writer is probably　　．
A． a book lover
B． a story teller
C． a shelf collector
D． a fashion designer
6．（10分）It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity （慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play，…
While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating （欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．
In the following months， I wrote to my friends， doctors， teachers and parenting role models． In July， my"food"" month， I wrote to Julie，who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this：
Dear Julie，
I've been finding myself missing you lately． Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food． Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary （周年纪念日）We talk about it every year．
Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"
On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．

3．（8分）Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． As a part of the study， two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．
Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra （管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore （忽视） the other sounds． In this way， musicians can hear certain sounds better， even in a room with lots of noise．
Gottfried Schlaug，a doctor at Harvard Medical School，works with stroke （中风） patients．Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names，addresses， or other information normally．However， they can still sing． Dr． Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak． Why does this work？Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active， including the bad parts． In some way， this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．
So music is not only enjoyable， but also good for us in many other ways． Playing an instrument or singing， says Nina Kraus， can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．


（1）What were the people in tbe first group asked to do in the study of Nothwestern University？　D　
A．Listen to different kinds of music．
B． Make some noise in an empty room．
C． Give the second group musical training．
D． Find out what the talking person was saying．
（2）The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain　C　．
A． how musicians play in an orchestra
B． how musicians ignore certain sounds
C． why musicians have better hearing ability
D． why musicians are not afraid of loud noise
（3）Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by　B　．
A． playing music for them
B．getting them to sing words
C． teaching them to play instruments
D． joining the bad parts of their brain
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？　C　
A． To introduce different ways of playing music．
B． To give some advice about making our brain active．
C． To show the relationship between music and language abilities．
D． To sbare the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients．
【分析】这篇文章的主要展示了音乐与语言能力的关系．
【解答】（1）D．细节理解题．根据第二段中 As a part of the study， two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．可知作为研究的一部分，两组人在嘈杂的房间里听一个人说话．第一组的人是音乐家，而第二组的人没有受过音乐训练．因此可知在西北大学的研究中，第一组的人被要求找出谈话的人在说什么．故选D．
（2）C．细节理解题．根据第三段中 Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra （管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore （忽视） the other sounds．可知研究负责人尼娜•克劳斯说，音乐家的听力更好，因为他们学会了注意某些声音．例如，当小提琴手在管弦乐队中演奏时，他们必须仔细倾听他们正在演奏的音乐，而忽略其他声音．因此可知作者用第三段中小提琴手的例子来解释为什么音乐家有更好的听力．故选C．
（3）B．细节理解题．根据第四段中 Dr． Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak．可知Gottfried Schlaug让他们唱歌帮助他的中风患者说话．故选B．
（4）C．主旨大意题．通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．可知音乐和语言之间有联系吗？根据最近的研究，答案是肯定的：音乐有助于培养大脑的某些语言能力．因此可知这篇文章的主要展示了音乐与语言能力的关系．故选C．

4．（8分）It's late evening in the middle of the winter． The snow is deep， but off I go into the wild．Suddenly， I hear it： the howl （嚎叫） of wolves． Excitedly， I walk faster in the direction of the howling．
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year． It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them． Like wolves， however， I don't work alone． I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park．
Humans have always feared wolves． From fairy tales to movies， the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals． In the 1920s， the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park．As a result，the number of elk（麋鹿）in the park increased． The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves．This， in turn， stopped trees from growing along the rivers， doing great harm to the environment there．
The return of wolves has already made a big difference． To begin with， the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers， so new trees have been able to grow there． The trees become home to new wildlife， such as birds， and provide food for more animals．
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment． It has also helped the local people make more money， Tourists visit the area，stay in the local hotels， and eat in the local restaurants．
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me， I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone． And happily， it is playing a good guy in this story．

（1）According to the passage， one of a wolf tracker's jobs is to　D　．
A． catch wolves in the park
B． feed wolves in the wild

A． Wolves are important to Yellowstone．
B． Yellowstone has been home to wolves．
C． The wolf and the elk live in peace now．
D．The number of wolves is growing fast．
【分析】本文讲述了对人类和其他动物构成巨大威胁的狼却对维护黄石公园的的生态平衡起着重要作用．

（3）C．归纳概括题．根据第四段第1句" The return of wolves has already made a big difference．"可知狼群的回归已经带来了很大的改变．故选C．
（4）A．推理判断题．由本句上文" I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone"可知我很惊讶狼对黄石公园所做的改变．由此推断狼对维护黄石公园的的生态平衡起着重要作用．故选A．

6．（10分）It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity （慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play，…
While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating （欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．
In the following months， I wrote to my friends， doctors， teachers and parenting role models． In July， my"food"" month， I wrote to Julie，who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this：
Dear Julie，
I've been finding myself missing you lately． Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food． Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary （周年纪念日）We talk about it every year．
Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"
