第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分35分)
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans (孤儿) there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children’s Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in1949. This is how the SOS stand for “Save Our Souls.” This means, “Please help us!” An SOS Children’s Village gives help to orphans. Hermann Gmeiner’s idea for helping orphans soon spread all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children’s Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages.
Today the children from the first village have grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children’s Villages. In SOS Villages, orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest village has 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them.
Of course, the children don’t spend all their time in the village. They go to school; they go out with their friends. But the village gives them a home — sometimes for the first time in their lives.
1. The SOS Children’s Villages are built for________ first.
A. the children who are poor B. the orphans in Europe
C. the kind women D. people who died in the war.
2. We can conclude from the article that the money for helping the SOS Villages mainly comes from ________ .
A. governments B. special organization
C. people in different countries D. the orphans themselves
3. Which of the following is NOT the work a woman in an SOS Village does for each group of children?
A. She lives with the children and looks after them.
B. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness.
C. She cooks meals for children.
D. She teaches the children how to use the computer.


Mrs. Strickland did not talk much, but she had a pleasant gift for keeping the conversation general. And when there was a pause she threw in just the right remark to set it going once more.
“Why do nice women marry dull men?”
“Because intelligent men won’t marry nice women.”
Mrs. Strickland had the gift of sympathy.
There was another thing I liked in Mrs. Strickland. She managed her surroundings with elegance (优雅). Her flat was always neat and cheerful with flowers. The meals in the little dining room were pleasant; the table looked nice; the food was well cooked. It was impossible not to see that Mrs. Strickland was an excellent housekeeper. And you felt sure that she was an admirable mother. There were photographs in the drawing room of her son and daughter. The son — his name was Robert — was a boy of sixteen at Rugby. He had his mother’s fine eyes. He looked clean, healthy, and normal.
“I don’t know that he’s very clever,” she said one day, when I was looking at the photograph, “but I know he’s good. He has a charming character.”
The daughter was fourteen. Her hair, thick and dark like her mother’s, fell over her shoulders, and she had the same kindly expression and untroubled eyes.
“They both look like you,” I said.
“Yes, I think they are more like me than their father.”
“Why have you never let me meet him?” I asked.
“Would you like to?” she smiled and her smile was really very sweet.
“You know, he’s not at all literary,” she said. “He has no interest in literature.”
“He’s on the Stock Exchange (证券交易所), and he’s a typical broker (经纪人). I think he’d bore you to death.”
“Does he bore you?” I asked.
“You see, I happen to be his wife. I’m very fond of him.” She smiled to cover her shyness, and her eyes grew tender.
“He doesn’t pretend to be a talent. He doesn’t even make much money on the Stock Exchange. But he’s awfully good and kind.”
“I think I should like him very much.”
“I’ll ask you to dine with us quietly some time, but mind, you come at your own risk; don’t blame me if you have a very dull evening.”
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Mrs. Strickland is a very good housekeeper.
B. Her daughter looks more like her than her husband.
C. Her son, clever or not, has a pleasant character.
D. Mrs. Strickland doesn’t love her husband because of his dullness.
5. What does the sentence “I think he’d bore you to death” in paragraph 13 imply?
A. Mrs. Strickland doesn’t think her husband is a dull man.
B. It must be boring for the guest to talk with Mr. Strickland because of different interests.
C. Mrs. Strickland fears that her husband will make the guest die.
D. The guest will finally find Mr. Strickland is a humorous host.
6. Which is the closest meaning to the underlined word “awfully”?
A. Personally. B. Gradually.
C. Extremely. D. Eventually.
7. What does the author think of Mrs. Strickland in this passage?
A. Elegant and attractive. B. Dull and unconfident.
C. Beautiful and unlucky. D. Bitter and foolish.



According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence — the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. “Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, “High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can.” Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈意见) is far better than empty praise,” Duke adds. “People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is.”
8. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will________.
A. become strong B. increase self-confidence
C. do better in their studies D. always look for praise
9. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Praise makes children become successful.
B. The same praise for all children has no meaning.
C. Children don’t know what they’re really good at.
D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths.
10. What is the last paragraph about?
A. What children with high self-confidence are like.
B. It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
C. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
D. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.

第七部分 读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs.Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!
Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and — oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face, She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.
How clumsy (笨手笨脚的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel sighed. She understood Mum was afraid she would spill (洒出) it.
“But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold cure?” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once.“But Rachel, Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things like china figures (瓷器) and delicate (精致的, 易碎的) vases, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.
Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried.

阅读理解
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述二战后为救助战争遗留下来的孤儿，Hermann Gmeiner建立了SOS孤儿村。在孤儿村里，孩子们有了家，能够像正常的孩子们一样享受家庭的温暖，得到学习、玩耍等快乐生活的机会。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children.（在欧洲，许多人于第二次世界大战中丧生。结果，战争结束时那里有许多孤儿。一个叫Hermann Gmeiner的人想帮助这些孩子。）”及“With this money he built the first SOS Children’s Village（他用这笔钱建造了第一个SOS儿童村。）”可知，SOS儿童村起初是为欧洲的孤儿们而建立的。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“People in many countries give money to help the villages（许多国家的人捐钱帮助村庄。）”可知，这些钱来自世界上很多国家人们的捐赠，故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them.（一个女人和每一组孩子住在一起并照顾他们。她给孩子们很多爱和善意。她为他们做饭，为他们营造舒适、快乐的家。）”可知A、B、C项描述符合文章内容，D项（她教孩子们如何使用电脑）不是SOS村的妇女为每一组儿童所做的工作。故选D。



【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Strickland夫人虽话不多，但与她交流感觉愉悦，是一位持家、善良、迷人的女性。
1. 细节理解题。由倒数第四段中的“ ‘You see, I happen to be his wife. I’m very fond of him.’ She smiled to cover her shyness, and her eyes grew tender.（“你看，我正好是他的妻子。“我很喜欢他。”她微笑着掩饰自己的羞怯，眼睛变得温柔起来。）”，可知Mrs. Strickland爱着她的丈夫，D项不符合文意。故选D。
2. 词义猜测题。由第12段的“ ‘You know, he’s not at all literary,’ she said. ‘He has no interest in literature.’（“你知道，他一点也不爱好文学，”她说。“他对文学没有兴趣。”）”和第13段的“ ‘He’s on the Stock Exchange (证券交易所), and he’s a typical broker (经纪人). I think he’d bore you to death.’（“他在证券交易所工作，是个典型的经纪人。我想他会把你无聊死的。”）”，可知Mr. Strickland对文学没兴趣，是一个经纪人，兴趣爱好不同，其他人很难和他谈一起去，所以“I think he’d bore you to death”在此处意为，客人和Mr. Strickland谈话一定很无聊，因为兴趣不同。故选B。
3. 词义猜测题。由倒数第四段中的“ ‘You see, I happen to be his wife. I’m very fond of him.’ She smiled to cover her shyness, and her eyes grew tender.（“你看，我正好是他的妻子。“我很喜欢他。”她微笑着掩饰自己的羞怯，眼睛变得温柔起来。）”，倒数第三段的“ ‘He doesn’t pretend to be a talent. He doesn’t even make much money on the Stock Exchange. But he’s awfully good and kind.’（“他不会假装是个天才。他在证券交易所甚至赚不到多少钱。但他非常善良。”）”和倒数第二段的“ ‘I think I should like him very much.’ ”（“我想我应该非常喜欢他。”）”，可知虽然Mrs. Strickland的丈夫赚不到多少钱，也不懂文学，但他不会假装自己是个天才，Mrs. Strickland很喜欢丈夫，可推断出Mr. Strickland是一个非常好的人，Extremely（极其，非常）符合文意。故选C。
4. 推理判断题。由第一段中的“Mrs. Strickland did not talk much, but she had a pleasant gift for keeping the conversation general.（Mrs. Strickland话不多，但她有一个令人愉快的天赋，能使谈话很日常。）”，第五段中的“She managed her surroundings with elegance (优雅).（她优雅地管理着周围的环境。）”和第五段中的“It was impossible not to see that Mrs. Strickland was an excellent housekeeper.（不可能不看出Mrs. Strickland是个出色的持家人。）”可推断出作者认为Mrs. Strickland很优雅迷人。故选A。


【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D
【解析】本文为一篇说明文。一些研究者发现，过多的表扬对于孩子建立自信心是不利的。孩子们应该清楚认识自身错误和不足，为应对长大后的困难做好准备。因此，家长和老师应该诚实地表扬孩子，反馈他们的错误。
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best.（如果大人对孩子所做的每一件事都加以表扬，孩子就会一直寻求表扬，而不是尽力做到最好。）”可知，根据研究者的观点，如果父母过度表扬他们的孩子，孩子将会总是寻求表扬。故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段关键句“Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.（如果对所有学生给予同样的表扬，表扬也会失去效果。）”可知，对所有孩子同样的表扬是没有意义的。故选B。
3. 概括大意题。根据文章最后一段中“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback(反馈意见) is far better than empty praise（告诉孩子们他们所做的事情的真相很重要。诚实的反馈比空洞的赞美要好得多）”并结合全段内容可知，本段表明了我们应该诚实地表扬孩子，告诉他们错误，而不是一味表扬。故选D。

【答案】11. B 12. C 13. E 14. A 15. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述青少年在成长过程中都需要经历的过程：要学会承担责任，要学会独立，要懂得自己做出正确的选择。只有经历了这些，我们才会真正长大，才能懂得明智地享受生活。
1. 空前句意为青少年时期会遇到很多困难，空后的句子大意表达的是晕倒困难不要慌，由此可知，本段主要围绕“changes”来讲，审视选项，B项（它们可能好像发生很快。）可承上启下，且当中的They指的就是changes，故选B。
2. 由前面的句子“In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions”提到，在青少年时期，要了解一些能帮助自己做出决定的建议，这样才能做出正确平衡的决定；再根据下一句“You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will show itself to you.”可知，做决定关系到你未来的职业前途，故C项（它们〔即那些正确的决定〕将要帮助塑造未来）承上启下，故选C。
3. 根据前句“Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices.（青春期意味着更多的自由和选择。）”，再根据后面的句子“But try not to shut your family out of your life.（但是不要将你的家人赶出你的生活。），故E项（你将可能想独立一些。）承上启下，故选E。
4. 根据前面句子“It is also perfectly natural at this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family.” 以及后面句子“A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens”可知，本段与交朋友有关，故A项（有智慧地选择朋友。）符合本段内容，故选A。

语法填空
【答案】
36. best 37. was interested 38. mountains 39. with 40. was
41. which 42. peaceful 43. the 44. your 45. what
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。从前有个国王悬赏看哪位画家最能描绘宁静的意境。最后国王选中一幅描绘在狂风暴雨中，鸟妈妈安静地坐在它的巢里孵小鸟的画，并且告诉人们宁静指的是保持内心的平静。
1. 考查形容词最高级。句意：从前有个国王悬赏，看哪位画家能画出最能描绘宁静的画。结合句意可知，此处指“谁能画出最能描绘宁静的画作”，应用形容词最高级，good的最高级形式为best。故填best。
2. 考查固定短语。句意：国王看了所有的画，他对其中的两幅感兴趣。be interested in...“对……感兴趣”，固定短语，句子是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，主语是he，be动词用was。故填was interested。
3. 考查可数名词复数。句意：湖泊就像一面完美的镜子，四周都是宁静的巍峨的群山。句子的谓语动词were是复数形式，因此句子的主语应该是复数。故填mountains。
4. 考查介词。句意：头顶上是蓝天白云。此处用介词with表示“具有……”。故填with。
5. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：上面是乌云密布的天空，大雨倾盆，电闪雷鸣。分析句子可知，此处是倒装句，空后主语an angry sky表示单数意义，且句子是一般过去时，be动词应用was。故填was。
6. 考查定语从句。句意：上面是乌云密布的天空，大雨倾盆，电闪雷鸣。分析句子结构，空后是定语从句，先行词是an angry sky，关系词在从句中作介词from的宾语，因此用“介词from+which”引导定语从句。故填which。
7. 考查形容词。句意：这看起来一点也不宁静。look是系动词，后面接形容词作表语。故填peaceful。
8. 考查定冠词。句意：国王选择了第二幅画，解释说：“因为宁静并不意味着在一个没有噪音、烦恼和辛苦的地方。”序数词second前应用定冠词。故填the。
9. 考查代词。句意：宁静意味着身处所有这些事情之中，内心仍然保持平静。空处应填形容词性物主代词your，修饰名词heart。故填your。
10. 考查表语从句。句意：这才是宁静的真正含义。分析句子可知，空处引导表语从句，引导词在从句中作宾语，应用what引导。故填what。

读后续写
【答案】
There were beautiful things everywhere — pretty vases and pots. Rachel stood very still, afraid of knocking something over. Mrs. Willow handed Rachel a small brown bottle. Rachel couldn’t wait to get away, feeling any minute there would be a disaster. She thanked her and turned to the door when something brushed against her leg. Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards. It was a cat! But her elbow hit a vase and it fell to the floor, broken. How awkward!
With a smile Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “I did, when I was young. You couldn’t have been as clumsy as I was,” Mrs. Willow said, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Keep telling yourself you are a swan and it will work.” Rachel doubtfully said that several times. After they cleared up the vase, they drank tea from china cups and ate cakes off delicate plates and Rachel didn’t break another thing. It was a kind of magic. Rachel smiled.
【解析】本文以人物为线索展开。Rachel是个笨手笨脚的女孩，总是打翻东西，给别人造成麻烦。就连对生病的妈妈，Rachel主动提出要泡杯茶，但妈妈都宁愿等爸爸。妈妈让Rachel去Willow太太那儿拿一些感冒药，并叮嘱Rachel，Willow太太的房子里到处都是漂亮的东西，所以如果她邀请Rachel进去，Rachel最好别进去。
1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“到处都是漂亮的东西 —— 漂亮的瓷器和花瓶。”可知，第一段可描写讲述Rachel进入房间后发生的事情，她拿到了Willow太太给的感冒药，出门的时候因为一只猫还是失手打破了花瓶。
②由第二段首句内容“Willow太太微笑着安慰她说，它以前就被打破过。”可知，第二段可描写Willow太太讲述自己的经历，并且鼓舞了Rachel，Rachel便没有再打破任何东西。
2. 续写线索：Rachel拿药 —— 迫不及待地离开 —— 撞到了花瓶 —— 摔碎花瓶—— Willow安慰她 —— 讲述自己经历 —— Rachel再也没打破任何东西
3. 词汇激活

①递给：handed/gave
