Number sense is not the ability to count.It is the ability to recognize a 　1　 in number.Human beings are born with this ability.　2　,experiments show that many animals are,too.For example,many birds have good number sense.If a nest has four eggs and you remove one,the bird will not　3　.However,if you remove two,the bird　4　leaves.This means that the bird knows the　5　between two and three. 
Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s　6　number sense.A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower,but the crow always left when she saw him coming.The bird did not　7　until the man left the tower.The man had an　8　.He took another man with him to the tower.One man left and the other stayed,but they did not　9　 the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left,too.The experiment was　10　with three men and then with four men.But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were　11　.It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were　12　 able to fool the crow. 
How good is a human’s number sense?It’s not very good.For example,babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 　13　 group.But when the number goes beyond three or four,the children are　14　fooled. 
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world,and that our human 　15　 is not much better than a crow’s.

One day,Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he　16　(find)that he had run out of salt.So Nick called to his son,“Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it:neither too much 　17　too little.” 
His son looked surprised.“I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much,Father,but if I can pay less,　18　not save a bit of money?” 
“That would be a very　19　(reason)thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said. 
Nick’s guests,　20　 had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.Nick replied,“The only reason a man would sell salt 　21　a lower price would be because he was desperate for money.And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 　22　the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.” 
“But such a small thing couldn’t　23　(possible)destroy a village.” 
“In the beginning,there was only 　24　 very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little,always 　25　(think)that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today.”

(2013广东,A)
A
Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well.Fred Epstein,in his book If I Make It to Five,tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes.Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room,Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman,”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this,the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom,with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible,to go through those things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could.Just as Dr.Epstein puts it,“If you can dream it,you can do it.”
It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But,next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible,imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dare to dream.
26.What do we know about Tom?

B.acted like a superhero
C.appeared in poor spirits
D.argued with his mother
29.In the last paragraph,you are advised　　　.

(2013广东,B)
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
31.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about 　　　. 
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
32.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to 　　　. 
A.being good at something
B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time
D.succeeding in life
33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because 　　　. 
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

(2013广东,C)
One day,when I was working as a psychologist in England,an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale,and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family,” he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others,and I’m very worried about him.Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him?There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to,and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met,David didn’t say a word.He sat there,only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later,when we were playing chess,he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day,David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one — without any words — can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch,and an ear that listens.
36.When he first met the author,David　　　. 
A.felt a little excited
B.walked energetically
C.looked a little nervous
D.showed up with his teacher
37.As a psychologist,the author　　　. 
A.was ready to listen to David
B.was skeptical about psychology
C.was able to describe David’s problem
D.was sure of handling David’s problem
38.David enjoyed being with the author because he　　　. 
A.wanted to ask the author for advice
B.needed to share sorrow with the author
C.liked the children’s drawings in the office
D.beat the author many times in the chess game
39.What can be inferred about David?
A.He recovered after months of treatment.
B.He liked biking before he lost his family.
C.He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D.He got friends in school before he met the author.
40.What made David change?
A.His teacher’s help.
B.The author’s friendship.
C.His exchange of letters with the author.
D.The author’s silent communication with him.

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class,a monitor (监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment,the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room.Her Internet access was locked —remotely—to prevent Internet searches,and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was:Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past?Or was she slowing down?
In the battle against cheating,this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.The technology gives trust to the entire system,to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating,experts say,can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade,the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges,public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field,spending millions of dollars to attract potential students,while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web cameras,a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular.Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information,such as the telephone numbers they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones.As in many university classes,term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.
41.Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?
A.To correct her typing mistakes.
B.To find her secrets in the room.
C.To prevent her from slowing down.
D.To keep her from dishonest behaviors.
42.The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to 　　　. 
A.advanced techique
B.sharpening tool
C.effective rule
D.dividing line
43.For Internet universities,exams and diplomas will be valid if 　　　. 
A.they can attract potential students
B.they can defeat academic cheating
C.they offer students online help
D.they offer many online courses
44.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by 　　　. 
A.checking the question answering speed
B.producing a large number of questions
C.scanning the Internet test questions
D.giving difficult test questions
45.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.The Advantages of Online Exams
B.The High-tech Methods in Online Courses
C.The Fight against Cheating in Online Education
D.The War against the Booming of Online Education

阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant,not necessarily because they are lazy.The same man,who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office,may work hard at the weekend,painting the house or digging the garden.
What is the reason,then?In most cases,it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing.It does not give them any real satisfaction.It may be quite easy,like making up wooden boxes,but it is very boring.Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one,such as attaching a door handle to a car.But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say:I have made something!
Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized.No matter how ordinary a job is,it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect.Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs.

详　解　详　析
2013广东卷英语解析
【语篇导读】本文为说明文。主要介绍一项实验结果——许多动物和人一样具有数字感,而且人类的这种数字感能力并不比乌鸦强多少。
1.C　根据下文的两个针对数字变化的实验可以得知,此处指的应是“数字感指的是识别数字的变化与差异”。故选C项。
2.B　根据上下文可知“实验表明许多动物也跟人类一样具有这种能力”,这显然是令人感到惊讶的。importantly“重要地”;surprisingly“令人吃惊地”;disappointedly“失望地”;fortunately“幸运地”。根据语境可知此处应选B项。
3.D　结合下句,特别是however可知,上下文的大意应是“如果鸟巢内有四个蛋,你移走一个蛋,这只鸟将不会注意到;然而,如果你移走两个蛋,这只鸟就会离开这里了”。因此D项notice符合句意。特别是本段最后一句,这就意味着鸟对二和三能感到它们的不同,所以对一没有什么概念。
4.A　根据上下文可知,这只鸟已经感觉到了异常,因此一般来说它会离开此地。因此A项generally“一般地”符合语境。
5.C　拿走一个蛋,这只鸟不会注意到什么,若移走两个,余下两个了,这只鸟就会离开这里了。这说明这只鸟知道余下两个与余下三个的“区别”。同时与开头第二句相呼应,故正确答案为C项。
6.A　根据上文中的“...many birds have good number sense.”可知A项amazing“令人感到惊讶的”符合语境。
7.D　根据上文的crow always left相对,此处表示直到这个人离开这只乌鸦才返回。同时下文中“...return to the nest...”中的return 是原词复现。故选D项。
8.C　根据下文可知,这个人又采取了另一种办法,因此此处表示他又有了一个“主意”或想了一个“办法”。 appointment “约会,任命”;excuse“借口”;idea“想法,主意”;explanation“解释,说明”。根据语境只有C项正确。
9.A　由but可知此处表示转折,他们并没能“欺骗”那只乌鸦。下文第二段最后也提到了“...fool the crow.”,属于原词复现。故选A项。
10.B　这一次先由一个人去接近那只乌鸦,然后再带一个人去做这个实验,接着三个人、四个人去“重复”做这个实验。表示“重复”故选B项repeat“重复,重做”。
11.B　根据上文可知那只乌鸦直到所有人都“不见了”才会返回,因此答案为B项gone“消失的,不见的”。
12.D　此处表示前面重复多次实验未果,直到最后他们五人进塔,四人离开,他们才“最终”欺骗了这只乌鸦。强调实验的最终结果,故用finally“最后,终于”。同时也表现了乌鸦数字感知能力很强。
13.B　由下文“But when the number goes beyond three or four...”可知,这个群体数目不会超过三四个时,婴儿就能注意到。故small符合语境。
14.D　根据前面的but可知此处表示与上文always notice相反的意思,当数字超过三或四个以后,就“常常”能欺骗这些婴儿了。故选D项。
15.C　首尾呼应,通过实验得出结论。动物身上有着跟人相似的数字感,而且人的数字感知能力也并不比乌鸦强多少。
【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。通过尼克叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事说明,要学会公平对待他人,尊重别人的付出和劳动。
16.found　考查动词时态。“他发现他的盐已经用完了。”由前一句中的One day,Nick invited可知要用动词的过去式,故用found。
17.nor　考查副词。此处为neither...nor...“既不……也不……”,为固定搭配。句意为:付公平的价格,不要太多,也不要太少。
18.why　考查连接副词。根据上下文可知,此处表示尼克的疑问,“如果我可以少花钱,为什么不省一点呢?”why not do sth.表示“为什么不……呢”。
19.reasonable　考查形容词。thing 为名词,故要用形容词形式修饰名词。句意:那是一件非常合理的事情。故reasonable“合理的”符合语境。
20.who　考查定语从句。Nick’s guests asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.是主句,　20　 had heard their conversation是修饰Nick’s guests的非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,故只能用who。 
21.at　考查介词。以较低的价格应用介绍at,at常与速度,价格等搭配。
22.for　考查介词。show respect for “对……表示尊敬”,为固定搭配。
23.possibly　考查副词。此处要用副词修饰后面的动词destroy,故用possibly“可能地”。
24.a　考查冠词。a very small amount of 表示“一点儿,少量的”。
25.thinking　考查非谓语动词。everyone 是主语,added是谓语动词,此空应填非谓语动词形式,其逻辑主语是everyone,与think之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。
【语篇导读】本文为夹叙夹议文。小男孩汤姆身患癌症,但他充满幻想,总是把自己想象成超人,结果手术成功。由此阐述想象力作用巨大,从而鼓励我们让思想自由驰骋、大胆想象。
26.A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句“...with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain...”可知,他病得很严重,故选A项。
27.D　推理判断题。根据文章第三段第三、四句“Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),but finally she agreed.”可知,她并不富有;但最终还是同意了汤姆的请求,为他购买昂贵的戏装,由此推断,她是希望汤姆能度过痛苦关。故选D项。
28.B　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“...Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”(穿着买来的超人服装)可知,他看起来像是一个强大的超人一样,精神振奋地穿过医院的大厅,很酷地向沿路同他打招呼的人招手。故选B项。
29.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中第一句可排除D项;A项(经历一些困难的测试)和B项(从不羁梦中醒来)与原文最后一句信息不符;由第三句“Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”可知,C项(要成为一个内心强大的人)正确。
30.D　主旨大意题。由文章首句“Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.”和全文末句“So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要意图是鼓励我们充分发挥想象力。故D项正确。
【语篇导读】本文为议论文。成功的因素有很多。天赋、运气、家境固然很重要,但首先要树立目标,然后为之奋斗,锲而不舍。
31.A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段提到的 “运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成功的条件或缘由,可知正确答案为A项(成功的缘由)。
32.B　细节理解题。代词多代指上文出现的名词。此处表示“除此以外,为了能把事做好,你还要在上面花至少10,000个小时进行学习和实践”。因此可以看出此处的代词that替代前句中的“set a goal”故选B项。
33.D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”可知其中的this就是指代上文的内容,即第二段的最后两句话的内容“...one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.”由此可知,要想成功就要花费大量时间去努力,如果不喜欢就会很快半途而废。因此D项正确。
34.B　推理判断题。根据本段最后两句可知,有时很容易就认为这些成功人士运气好,天赋高,但是想这些无济于事,而且你极有可能是想错了。因此可以推断出这些人获得成功并不是靠的运气或是天赋,A项与D项与原文信息不符。而C项表示“人们有必要付出生命的代价来获取成功”,则过于绝对,误解了作者的意思。
35.C　主旨大意题。文章第一段引出话题,然后指出成功的第一步要树立目标,然后为之奋斗,结合最后一段“...if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time.”可以看出作者认为不花大量时间去努力实践是不会获得成功的。故C项正确。
【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。作者以自己帮助一个问题孩子的亲身经历说明一个人无需用语言也能触及另一个人的心灵,所需要的只不过是一个拥抱,一个哭泣时可以依靠的肩膀,一次友好的碰触,和一只愿意倾听的耳朵。
36.C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知,这个孩子失去了家人,因此不可能是兴奋的,排除A项。根据“...walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly.”可以看出他并不是精力充沛,排除B项。根据“His head teacher had referred him to me.‘This boy has lost his family,’he wrote.”可知他的老师是写信谈到这个孩子的,因此并不是跟他一起来的,排除D项。故只有C项正确。
37.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中“How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe.”(可知有些难题在心理学上是没有答案的,也是用语言无法描述的)可排除D项和C项;B项提到作者对心理学持怀疑态度,也与原文信息不符;由第二段最后一句“Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.”可知作者最后打算听他倾诉,故A项正确。
38.B　细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,’I thought.‘Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.’”可知作者认为他需要有人跟他分担痛苦,故B项正确。
39.A　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段可知,那天过后,戴维开始主动说话了,在学校结交了新朋友,也加入了自行车俱乐部。在信中还透露出上大学的打算。他开始过上了他自己应该有的生活。因此可以得知他上大学是以后的打算,排除C项;而B、D两项没有信息依据故排除。因此只有A项正确(他经过几个月的治疗已经痊愈了)。
40.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.”和最后一段第二句“But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.”可知,是作者与戴维之间无声的交流让他彻底改变了。故D项正确。
【语篇导读】本文为说明文。主要介绍网络教育中,为防止作弊而采取的一些有效手段和措施。
41.D　推理判断题。根据文章前两段可知,詹妮弗在家上网进行考试,接受监控,第三段中提到“In the battle against cheating...”可知,对她进行监控是为了防止她作弊。故D项正确。
42.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,这是防止作弊的先进技术,另外,也可以从第五段的第一句中的“other high-tech methods”得到启示,故A项正确。
43.B　细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid...”可知,只有用这些强有力的措施来打击作弊,网络大学才能表明它们的考试和文凭是有效的。故B项正确。
44.A　细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“...recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones.”可知,是通过分析解答难题和简单题的速度是否一样来判断考生是否作弊,故选A项。
45.C　主旨大意题。纵观全文不难看出文章主要讲了防止在线考试作弊所采取的一些措施,故C项正确。A项(在线考试的优点)文中未提及故可排除;B项(在线课程的高科技方法)没有提及,可排除;D项(反对网络教育蓬勃发展的战争)与短文内容不符,可排除。

读写任务
In the passage,the author mainly stressed the importance of small and ordinary work,such as cleaning the street because of their essentiality for the organization of the society,and thinks those doing such jobs should be respected greatly.
There is no doubt that what a cleaner does is more harder compared with any other jobs in the society.On one hand,they must get up in the early morning every day to clean the street while we are still in the sweet sleeping dreams.On the other hand,they also suffer from less respect and lower pay,working all day on the street no matter it is hot,snowy or windy.
Nobody could imagine what a bad environment we would live in if there were no cleaners in the city.Wherever we go,there is rubbish.Maybe we would soon be drowned in the mountain of rubbish.Even worse,if there were no change about that,diseases would spread at a very quick speed.Is there anything that can be worse than this!
From the above,I can draw the conclusion safely that even the smallest and the most ordinary job,such as cleaning the street is also the necessary part to keep the society going smoothly.Consequently,those who do those most insignificant jobs should get respect as much as those being engineers or teachers.
