Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬）, to help ease the loss of our daughter. Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.
At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.
We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.
At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.
Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.
In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.
One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.
4. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shocked. B. Curious.
C. Worried. D. Eager.
5. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?
A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.
B. They fought with each other fiercely.
C. They kept a certain distance from each other.
D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. Lightning knew Sam had died.
B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.
C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.
D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.
7. What can be the best title of the text?

【点睛】词义猜测题
词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。比如小题1就属于语境猜词，根据第二段Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.可知，害怕Sam嫉妒，以及怎么处理被入侵的领地，但是依然决定冒险，故可知，作者害怕领养一只猫会对宠物狗造成不好的影响，故选C。

Poetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional language. Compared with prose (散文) , it lays more stress on rhythm, imagery (意象), emotion, and imagination. As its language is rhythmical, its sound is highly musical. We may say, “No rhythm, no poetry”, no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical (格律的) style or “natural” as in free verse.
So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfills the demands of meter and rhyme, but also expresses the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem. This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry.
The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason (石匠) builds a house using bricks; the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth (大卵石壁炉炉床) — each stone or each word is turned over examined, and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape, weight, and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole. Prose, according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is “words in their best order”, and poetry is “the best words in their best order”.
The reader’s chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect, which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic (抑扬格) feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry.
8. What’s the purpose of saying “No rhythm, no poetry” in paragraph 1?
A. To show the importance of rhythm in poetry.
B. To show rhythm is the most important element.
C. To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm.
D. To show rhythm is more important than poetry.
9. What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry?
A. The degree of emotion. B. The careful choice of words.
C. The delicate use of the metric style. D. The demands of meter and rhyme.
10. Where is the reader’s main joy in reading poetry?
A. The experience of the poet’s emotion.
B. The appreciation of the metrical pattern.
C. The reader’s reaction to the musical effect.
D. The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By definition. B. By examples.
C. By quotation. D. By comparison.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】

A Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire. It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia’s Baikonur space center, which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Both the U.S. space agency NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “Thank God the crew is alive” after they had landed safely.
About two minutes after launching, the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage. Russia’s TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely. This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth’s atmosphere. Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule. Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew.
Russia’s RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space launches after the failure. Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong. He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U.S.
The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations.
The U.S. and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. In coming years, American aerospace companies SpaceX, with its Dragon 2, and Boeing, with its Starliner, are expected to return to space.
12. What can be the best title of the text?
A. The Rescue of Two Astronauts
B. The Launch of Russian Spacecraft
C. Cooperation between Russia and America
D. Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch
13. What caused the failure of the launch?
A. The problem of the engine. B. The terrible weather.
C. The drop of the capsule. D. The wrong operation.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon.
B. America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011.
C. Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space.
D. the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station
15. What can we learn about the launch?
A. The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan, Russia.
B. Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure.
C. The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations.
D. At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth’s atmosphere.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
Rising through stages to realize ourselves
Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. ___16___ Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs（需求理论）, Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. ___17___.
I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or
change them. ___18___.
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. ___19___ but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance.___20___. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A. It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B. Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C. This is especially common among college students
D. Many people tend to go along with social expectations
E. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time
【答案】16. C 17. F
18. E 19. D
20. G
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于说明文，介绍要实现自我的三个方面。
【16题详解】
根据后一句Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity.可知，一旦高年级学生毕业，他们就似乎丧失了自我，C选项，这种情况在大学生中很常见，下文是对本句的具体阐述，切题，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前一句The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies.可知，根据马斯洛的理论，第五阶段也是最后阶段是自我实现，这就是我们最终成就的地方。F选项，这是一个了解我们自己，寻找目标的过程，是对上一句的具体阐述，切题，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据前一句Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them.可知，只有当我们理解了这些，我们才能去追求他们或者改变他们。E选项，客观和包容是接受的关键，阐述接受的关键地方，切题，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据前一句Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据后一句Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.可知，能够实现自我的人都是那些能够集中精力在自己想要改变的事情上，G选项，探索自己的潜能不是短时间就能完成的，故强调坚持的重要性，切题，故选G。
【点睛】七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：
（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
（2）首先快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置
（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。比如小题4，根据前一句Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。

Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬）, to help ease the loss of our daughter. Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.
At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.
We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.
At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.
Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.
In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.
One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.
4. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shocked. B. Curious.
C. Worried. D. Eager.
5. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?
A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.
B. They fought with each other fiercely.
C. They kept a certain distance from each other.
D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. Lightning knew Sam had died.
B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.
C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.
D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.
7. What can be the best title of the text?
A. The Friendship between Sam and Lightning
B. The Coming of Sam and Lightning
C. The Death of Sam to Lightning
D. The Importance of Sam to Us

【点睛】词义猜测题
词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。比如小题1就属于语境猜词，根据第二段Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.可知，害怕Sam嫉妒，以及怎么处理被入侵的领地，但是依然决定冒险，故可知，作者害怕领养一只猫会对宠物狗造成不好的影响，故选C。

Poetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional language. Compared with prose (散文) , it lays more stress on rhythm, imagery (意象), emotion, and imagination. As its language is rhythmical, its sound is highly musical. We may say, “No rhythm, no poetry”, no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical (格律的) style or “natural” as in free verse.
So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfills the demands of meter and rhyme, but also expresses the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem. This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry.
The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason (石匠) builds a house using bricks; the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth (大卵石壁炉炉床) — each stone or each word is turned over examined, and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape, weight, and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole. Prose, according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is “words in their best order”, and poetry is “the best words in their best order”.
The reader’s chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect, which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic (抑扬格) feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry.
8. What’s the purpose of saying “No rhythm, no poetry” in paragraph 1?
A. To show the importance of rhythm in poetry.
B. To show rhythm is the most important element.
C. To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm.
D. To show rhythm is more important than poetry.
9. What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry?
A. The degree of emotion. B. The careful choice of words.
C. The delicate use of the metric style. D. The demands of meter and rhyme.
10. Where is the reader’s main joy in reading poetry?
A. The experience of the poet’s emotion.
B. The appreciation of the metrical pattern.
C. The reader’s reaction to the musical effect.
D. The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By definition. B. By examples.
C. By quotation. D. By comparison.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】

A Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire. It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia’s Baikonur space center, which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Both the U.S. space agency NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “Thank God the crew is alive” after they had landed safely.
About two minutes after launching, the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage. Russia’s TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely. This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth’s atmosphere. Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule. Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew.
Russia’s RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space launches after the failure. Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong. He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U.S.
The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations.
The U.S. and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. In coming years, American aerospace companies SpaceX, with its Dragon 2, and Boeing, with its Starliner, are expected to return to space.
12. What can be the best title of the text?
A. The Rescue of Two Astronauts
B. The Launch of Russian Spacecraft
C. Cooperation between Russia and America
D. Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch
13. What caused the failure of the launch?
A. The problem of the engine. B. The terrible weather.
C. The drop of the capsule. D. The wrong operation.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon.
B. America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011.
C. Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space.
D. the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station
15. What can we learn about the launch?
A. The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan, Russia.
B. Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure.
C. The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations.
D. At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth’s atmosphere.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D

【15题详解】

Rising through stages to realize ourselves
Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. ___16___ Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs（需求理论）, Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. ___17___.
I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or
change them. ___18___.
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. ___19___ but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance.___20___. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A. It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B. Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C. This is especially common among college students
D. Many people tend to go along with social expectations
E. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time

【点睛】七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：
（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
（2）首先快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置
（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。比如小题4，根据前一句Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。

【分析】
本文属于记叙文，讲述作者骑自行车去上学刮擦了汽车，留下了自己的联系方式，后来车主到学校来解释了整个事情，并赞扬了作者的诚实。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。本句为短语by bicycle骑自行车，固定短语，故去掉a。
第二处： 考查一般过去时。本文陈述过去的事情，故用一般过去时，故把am改为was。
第三处：“I left a note with my name and address to let the driver know what happened”是句子主干，其前的部分应作伴随状语，think的逻辑主语是I，且与谓语动词left同时发生，故应将Think改为Thinking。
第四处：考查代词。分析句子可知，作者刮擦了汽车，写下了自己的地址，故把his改为my。
第五处：考查副词。分析句子可知，下午晚些时候，故用later，故把Lately改为Later。
第六处：考查定语从句。分析句子可知，that was the car owner为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词stranger，从句缺乏主语，故用关系代词who，不能用that，故把that改为who。
第七处：考查介词。本句为explain的用法explain to sb sth向某人解释某事，故在explain后加to。
第八处：考查连词。分享文章可知，车主讲述了整个故事，并且赞扬了我，前后为承接关系，故把but改为and。
第九处：考查名词。根据文章可知，陈述事情发生在教室，因此有很多同学，故用复数形式，故把classmate改为classmates。

【答案】Dear Vanessa,
How’s it going? Our study group has received your assignment about traditional Chinese festivals. After having discussed about it, we have formed a basic framework as follows.
