本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一家酒吧里，一位女士让钢琴演奏者唱首歌，结果那位钢琴演奏者发现自己很有唱歌的天赋并继续努力工作，最后成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，这个故事告诉我们要发现自己的天赋并加以努力。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no - name piano player in a no - name bar. But once he found, by accident，that he could sing well,he. went on working hard and became one of the best - known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.”可知，他真的很有唱歌的天赋，只是他原来没有发现，如果没有发现自己的天赋的话，他的余生都可能会在一家不知名的酒吧里为别人弹钢琴，但一旦他偶然发现他唱得很好并继续努力工作，他成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，由此可知，金·科尔的成功在于他抓住了机会（发现了自己的天赋并努力工作），故B项正确。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文内容可知，金·科尔原来并没有发现自己很有唱歌的天赋，他只是坐在酒吧里为别人弹钢琴，再根据最后一段中sit on前的“you may have no success at all”可知，如果你像（之前的金·科尔一样）没有意识到自己的天赋，你可能根本不会成功，由此可知sit on的意思是“没有意识到”，故A项正确。

【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度较大，抓住反映文章主题的关键词尤为重要，通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是在一家酒吧里，一位女士让钢琴演奏者唱首歌，结果那位钢琴演奏者发现自己很有唱歌的天赋并继续努力工作，最后成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，这个故事告诉我们要发现自己的天赋并加以努力，文章紧紧围绕“天赋”一词展开，因此文章标题一定要体现出“天赋”，故D项（发现你隐藏的天赋）适合作文章标题。

Alida Monaco doesn’t spend her summers doing the usual teenage work, like working at the mall. Instead，she ‘ s studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco ,who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend (趋势)teenagers focusing on their studies, even during the summer. That’s down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fierce (激烈的)competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak economic growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time, data suggest the biggest reason why some teens won’t be working this summer is that they simply don’t1 have time.
For college - bound teens, some teachers even advise students not to waste time on a summer job. “ Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer,” said Shannon Reed, a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher.” I could never advise that they get jobs during that short break. ”
Young people who don’t work may miss out on valuable skills that they’11 need control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack(缺乏)of work experience. “Maybe I have missed out on a couple of life skills, “she said. “ But I don’t think it will harm me in way .”
32. What is the trend of American teenagers?
A. They are becoming lazy.
B. They are fond of doing holiday jobs.
C. They are focusing more on studies than on jobs.
D. They are becoming particular about (挑剔)holiday jobs
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The reasons for teenagers giving up work.
B. The fierce competition teenagers face.
C. The structure (结构)of America’s workforce.
D. The effects of America9 s weak economy.
34. What’s Shannon Reed’s attitude towards the new trend?
A. uncaring. B. favorable(支持的). C. worried. D. doubtful.
35. What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. supported. B. helped. C. upset. D. confused.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco ,who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend (趋势)teenagers focusing on their studies, even during the summer.”可知，以前暑期工作被认为是青少年该做的事，如今，莫纳科从未做过暑期工作，她也成了越来越多的注重学业的青少年中的一员，即使是在暑期，由此可知，美国青少年的趋势是注重学业而不是工作，故C项正确。
【33题详解】

考查冠词。根据句意“这个研究方法包含一个大熊猫再引进计划”，表示“一个”用不定冠词，名词giant以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重新引入计划指的是将圈养繁殖的熊猫放归到它们过去的分布区。根据“refer to sth”中“to”为介词，其后用v-ing形式做宾语。故填releasing。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了重建野生熊猫族群。这里是用动词不定式表示目的。故填to rebuild。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。此处data是名词，这里应该用形容词修饰它，故填valuable。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：该计划还将有助于扩大大熊猫的分布范围。range意为“范围，种类”，常与“of”连用。故填of。
【点睛】不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如第6小题，根据句意“这个研究方法包含一个大熊猫再引进计划”，表示“一个”用不定冠词，名词giant以辅音音素开头，故填a。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。

【1题详解】

【4题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：她说：“利息是借钱人在归还贷款时额外付的钱。”A. little不多的，小的；B. extra额外的；C. enough足够的；D. same同样的。根据常识，利息就是还钱时本钱之外的钱。故选B。

I don’t sing, “said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, “ I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing! “
The waiter shouted across the room,” Hey,friend! If you want to get paid,sing a song!” So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no - name piano player in a no - name bar. But once he found, by accident，that he could sing well,he. went on working hard and became one of the best - known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.
You,too,have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great,but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一家酒吧里，一位女士让钢琴演奏者唱首歌，结果那位钢琴演奏者发现自己很有唱歌的天赋并继续努力工作，最后成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，这个故事告诉我们要发现自己的天赋并加以努力。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no - name piano player in a no - name bar. But once he found, by accident，that he could sing well,he. went on working hard and became one of the best - known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.”可知，他真的很有唱歌的天赋，只是他原来没有发现，如果没有发现自己的天赋的话，他的余生都可能会在一家不知名的酒吧里为别人弹钢琴，但一旦他偶然发现他唱得很好并继续努力工作，他成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，由此可知，金·科尔的成功在于他抓住了机会（发现了自己的天赋并努力工作），故B项正确。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文内容可知，金·科尔原来并没有发现自己很有唱歌的天赋，他只是坐在酒吧里为别人弹钢琴，再根据最后一段中sit on前的“you may have no success at all”可知，如果你像（之前的金·科尔一样）没有意识到自己的天赋，你可能根本不会成功，由此可知sit on的意思是“没有意识到”，故A项正确。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“With hard work, most skills can be improved.”可知，通过努力，大多数技能都能得到提高，由此可知，光有天赋还不行，还要努力工作提高自己的技能，故D项正确。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是在一家酒吧里，一位女士让钢琴演奏者唱首歌，结果那位钢琴演奏者发现自己很有唱歌的天赋并继续努力工作，最后成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，这个故事告诉我们要发现自己的天赋并加以努力，故D项正确。
【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度较大，抓住反映文章主题的关键词尤为重要，通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是在一家酒吧里，一位女士让钢琴演奏者唱首歌，结果那位钢琴演奏者发现自己很有唱歌的天赋并继续努力工作，最后成为了美国最著名的歌手之一，他的名字叫纳特·金·科尔，这个故事告诉我们要发现自己的天赋并加以努力，文章紧紧围绕“天赋”一词展开，因此文章标题一定要体现出“天赋”，故D项（发现你隐藏的天赋）适合作文章标题。
To see the world is one thing. To have someone to share it with is another. Indeed the travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business
You can have someone to talk to

All these can ruin your budg- et(预算).However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.

Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now?

Alida Monaco doesn’t spend her summers doing the usual teenage work, like working at the mall. Instead，she ‘ s studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco ,who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend (趋势)teenagers focusing on their studies, even during the summer. That’s down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fierce (激烈的)competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak economic growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time, data suggest the biggest reason why some teens won’t be working this summer is that they simply don’t1 have time.
For college - bound teens, some teachers even advise students not to waste time on a summer job. “ Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer,” said Shannon Reed, a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher.” I could never advise that they get jobs during that short break. ”
Young people who don’t work may miss out on valuable skills that they’11 need control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack(缺乏)of work experience. “Maybe I have missed out on a couple of life skills, “she said. “ But I don’t think it will harm me in way .”
32. What is the trend of American teenagers?
A. They are becoming lazy.
B. They are fond of doing holiday jobs.

35. What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. supported. B. helped. C. upset. D. confused.

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco ,who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend (趋势)teenagers focusing on their studies, even during the summer.”可知，以前暑期工作被认为是青少年该做的事，如今，莫纳科从未做过暑期工作，她也成了越来越多的注重学业的青少年中的一员，即使是在暑期，由此可知，美国青少年的趋势是注重学业而不是工作，故C项正确。

词义猜测题。根据画线词后的““Maybe I have missed out on a couple of life skills, “she said. “ But I don’t think it will harm me in way.”可知，她说，“也许我错失了一些生活技能，但我不认为它会伤害到我”，这说明莫纳科并没有被缺乏工作经验而困扰，由此可知画线词词义为“困扰、使心烦”，故C项正确。

这是一篇记叙文。中国计划将一只或两只大熊猫放归野外。自然保护区气候温和，生态系统良好，竹资源丰富，人为干扰少，有利于大熊猫的繁殖。该方案对一些问题的研究具有较高的研究价值并将有助于扩大大熊猫的分布范围。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：到目前为止，这个地点已经选定位于中国东部的江西省。该句主语the spot是单数第三人称，和谓语动词select之间是一种被动关系，再根据时间状语so far可知，此处用现在完成时的被动语态，故填has been selected。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。根据句意：截至去年年底，四川省已经放养了13只大熊猫。先行词为“China’s Sichuan Province”，在定语从句中做地点状语，故填where。
【38题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：自然保护区气候温和，生态系统良好，竹资源丰富，人为干扰少，有利于大熊猫的繁殖。本句主语“reserve”是第三人称单数，且这里是陈述客观事实，所以用一般现在时的单数第三人称形式。故填has。
【39题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：这里有着充足的竹子和少量的人类干扰，resource是可数名词，此处用于复数形式。故填resources。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：研究人员还向专家简要介绍了研究方法。空后为“introduced”，根据副词修饰动词，应用副词形式briefly。故填briefly。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。根据句意“这个研究方法包含一个大熊猫再引进计划”，表示“一个”用不定冠词，名词giant以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重新引入计划指的是将圈养繁殖的熊猫放归到它们过去的分布区。根据“refer to sth”中“to”为介词，其后用v-ing形式做宾语。故填releasing。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了重建野生熊猫族群。这里是用动词不定式表示目的。故填to rebuild。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。此处data是名词，这里应该用形容词修饰它，故填valuable。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：该计划还将有助于扩大大熊猫的分布范围。range意为“范围，种类”，常与“of”连用。故填of。
【点睛】不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如第6小题，根据句意“这个研究方法包含一个大熊猫再引进计划”，表示“一个”用不定冠词，名词giant以辅音音素开头，故填a。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。
