A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.
4. Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee?
A. To show his wealth. B. To tell students the philosophy of life.
C. To offer more choices to students. D. To match different coffee tastes.
5. According to the professor, what is the source of the students’ problems and stress?
A. Looking for good jobs. B. Searching for nice companions.
C. Buying a big house. D. Pursuing perfection.
6. Why did students eye each other’s cups?
A. To make sure their own cups were better. B. Only to talk about their coffee.
C. To intend to have others’ cups. D. To exchange their coffee with others.
7. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Coffee is the best. B. Cups are nothing.
C. Learn to enjoy your life. D. The appearance is everything.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，一群大学毕业生去看望自己的教授，向教授抱怨工作和生活的压力，教授则通过咖啡与杯子向学生们传授人生哲理。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三至五段中教授所说的话可知，教授端来一大壶咖啡和各种各样的杯子，是想借杯子和咖啡向学生们传授人生哲理。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.(你们只想给自己最好的，这很正常，但这也是你们问题和压力的根源)”可知，追求完美是学生们的问题和压力的来源。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.(你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却有意识地去拿最好的杯子……然后你们开始看对方的杯子)”可知，学生们真正想要的是咖啡而不是杯子，但是他们都下意识地去拿最好的杯子，然后开始互相打量对方的杯子。由此可推知，学生们互相打量对方的杯子是想确保自己的杯子比别人的好。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中教授的话“Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.(品味咖啡，而不是杯子！不要让杯子左右你……享受咖啡吧)”可知，我们不应该只把注意力集中在工作、金钱、社会地位之类的事情上，而要更多地去关注生活本身，去享受生活。由此可知，C项“学会享受生活”符合文章主旨。故选C。
C
A small group of paleontologists (古生物学家) recently discovered 10 species of ancient mammals previously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site: ants.
The study of ancient mammals sheds new light on the diversity of mammals that existed in North America around 33 million to 35 million years ago, when the climate was changing drastically. It also pays attention to the harvester ants, with which researchers have long had a love-hate relationship. “The ants are not fantastic when they’re biting you,” said Samantha Hopkins, a professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon. “But I’ve got to appreciate them because they make my job a whole lot easier.”
Most species of harvester ants live in subterranean caves that sit beneath a small hill of dirt. They strengthen the dirt by covering it with bits of rock and other tough materials. The ants have been known to travel over a hundred feet from their caves and to dig six feet deep in pursuit of materials that help secure their caves. The materials include fossils. Harvester ants can carry materials 10 times to 50 times the weight of their body, although they do not weigh very much, so the heaviest fossil they can collect weighs less than the average pill.
Given the size, harvester ant hills are hot spots for what scientists call microvertebrate (微型脊椎动物) fossils, which are animal fossils too small to see without a microscope. For over a century, scientists like Dr. Hopkins have found sediment (沉积物) off the sides of harvester ant hills in search of these fossils, making it easier to find large numbers of fossilized mammal teeth without spending hours in the field sifting through sand and dirt.
8. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To compare two different species.
B. To provide evidence for discoveries.
C. To introduce a kind of ant as a helper.
D. To promote awareness of mammal protection.
9. Which aspect may influence the diversity of mammals in the past?
A. Climate change. B. Ant numbers.
C. Cave materials. D. Dirt locations.
10. What does the underlined word “subterranean” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Coastal. B. Suburban. C. Mountainous. D. Underground.
11. What can we learn about the harvester ants from the last two paragraphs?
A. Their caves are miles deep. B. Materials with fossils are their food.
C. They can carry pills around. D. Fossils may be found around their hills.
【答案】8 C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了最近古生物学家开始利用蚂蚁来帮助自己寻找和收集化石，尽管蚂蚁很小而且还会咬人，但它仍然发挥了极大的作用。蚂蚁的帮助不仅减轻了古生物学家的负担，也加快了古生物化石的发掘进度。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段“A small group of paleontologists (古生物学家) recently discovered 10 species of ancient mammals previously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site: ants.(最近，一小群古生物学家在他们挖掘现场的大量帮手——蚂蚁的帮助下，发现了10种以前科学界不知道的古代哺乳动物。)”和第二段中““The ants are not fantastic when they’re biting you,” said Samantha Hopkins, a professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon. “But I’ve got to appreciate them because they make my job a whole lot easier.”(俄勒冈大学地球科学教授Samantha Hopkins说：“当蚂蚁咬你的时候，它们并不是很奇妙。”“但我必须感激他们，因为它们让我的工作轻松了很多。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了最近古生物学家开始利用蚂蚁来帮助自己寻找和收集化石。由此可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍作为古生物学家助手的一种蚂蚁。故选C项。
2. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“The study of ancient mammals sheds new light on the diversity of mammals that existed in North America around 33 million to 35 million years ago, when the climate was changing drastically. (这项对古代哺乳动物的研究揭示了大约3300万到3500万年前气候剧烈变化时北美洲哺乳动物的多样性。)”可知，古生物学家对古代哺乳动物的研究进一步揭示了以前哺乳动物的多样性，那时气候正发生剧烈变化，由此可推知，气候可能会影响哺乳动物的多样性。故选A项。
3. 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第一句中的“Most species of harvester ants live in subterranean caves(大多数种类的收获蚁生活在subterranean洞穴中)”可知，此句是在介绍收获蚁的居住环境。再根据画线单词下文“that sit beneath a small hill of dirt(洞穴位于小土丘下面)”可知，此处用that引导的定语从句来解释说明洞穴，即洞穴位于地下洞穴中，由此可推断，画线词意为“地下的”，与D项“Underground(地下的)”意思一样。故选D项。
4. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The materials include fossils.( 这些材料包括化石。) ”以及第四段中“For over a century, scientists like Dr. Hopkins have found sediment (沉积物) off the sides of harvester ant hills in search of these fossils, making it easier to find large numbers of fossilized mammal teeth without spending hours in the field sifting through sand and dirt.(一个多世纪以来，像Hopkins博士这样的科学家一直在采集蚁丘两侧发现沉积物，以寻找这些化石，这使得不用花费数小时在田野里筛选沙土，就能更容易地找到大量哺乳动物牙齿化石。)”可知，科学家们从收获蚁在洞穴上堆起的小山周围找到了微型脊椎动物化石。故选D项。
D
We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5, 000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
12. What does Hilton’s research focus on?
A. What interruptions mean to people.
B. Whether interruption is good or not.
C. How to avoid getting interrupted.
D. Why speakers interrupt each other.
13. What do participants of the study need to do?
A. Record an audio clip. B. Answer some questions.
C. Listen to one another. D. Have a chat with a friend.
14. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?
A. It’s important. B. It’s interesting.
C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s impolite.
15 What can we learn from Hilton’s research?
A. Human interaction is complex.
B. Communication is the basis of life.
C. Interruptions promote thinking.
D. Language barriers will always exist.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，在谈话中被打断是否会带来不愉快，因人而异。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句“But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.(但这真的是打扰吗？根据斯坦福大学凯瑟琳·希尔顿领导的一项新研究，答案取决于你问谁)”和第四段第二、三句“The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.(高强度组报告说，人们在表达同意的同时说话的对话不会被打断，而是比在说话之间保持沉默的对话更投入、更友好。相比之下，低强度组认为任何数量的同时聊天都是粗鲁的打断，不管说话人在说什么)”可知，文章主要说明了“打断”对不同的人来说，意义不同，即“打断”对人们意味着什么。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“ She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.(她让参与者听一些音频片段，然后回答一些问题，比如说话者看起来是否友好、投入、彼此倾听，还是试图打断)”可知，参与者们需要在听完音频后回答一些问题。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.(低强度说话者觉得同时说话很不礼貌，他们更喜欢人们在谈话中一个接一个地说话)”可推知，对于低强度聊天者来说，同时聊天是粗鲁的，不礼貌的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other. ”(“人们很在意被打断，而这些小的干扰会对整体交流产生巨大影响，”希尔顿说。“如果我们想了解人类之间是如何互动的，就必须分解中断的含义。”)”可推知，人类的交流是复杂的。故选A项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some people love a great thunderstorm; others are frightened by the first flash of lightning or sound of thunder. ____16____ But there are easy steps you can take to protect your home and your life from lightning.
Protect Electronics from Severe Weather
____17____ It can follow the wires or phone lines into your room—ruining computers, TVs and other electronics. One protection against electronics being “fried” by lightning is simply to unplug them whenever a rain or a storm is coming. Disconnect Internet and satellite dish connections no matter where they are.
Reduce the Risk of Fire
Lightning rods (避雷针) can protect a building from catching fire. ____18____ They just provide a path for the electricity to reach the ground more safely. The rods at the top of the building are only the first part of a good system. When lightning strikes, the electricity needs to move to the ground. Wires conduct electricity from the lightning rods to metal rods buried in the ground. ____19____
Understand Lightning
When lightning hits the ground, a tree, a tower or even a building, it may also spreads along the ground, so being near something that’s struck by lightning is almost as dangerous as being hit directly by lightning. ____20____ The Empire State Building gets struck by lightning around 20 times every year. Its lightning rod protects the structure, as well as the people inside.
A. It can even strike the same spot more than once.
B. You might want to consider protecting an entire building.
C. When this happens, anything in its path could be in danger.
D. But the chance of lightning striking your house doesn’t change.
E. Each connection must be secure so lightning doesn’t jump to the building.
F. Lightning hitting your roof or nearby power lines is terrible but not worst.
G. Whether you love or hate them, thunderstorms produce dangerous lightning.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文介绍了人们在雷雨天气应如何确保自己和财产安全。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Some people love a great thunderstorm; others are frightened by the first flash of lightning or sound of thunder.(有些人喜欢大雷雨；另一些人则会被第一道闪电或雷声吓到)”以及后文“But there are easy steps you can take to protect your home and your life from lightning.(但你可以采取一些简单的措施来保护你的家和你的生活免受闪电的伤害)”可知，空前提到有些人喜欢雷雨天气，有些人却害怕闪电或雷声。空后又提到可采取一些简单的措施来保护你的家和你的生活免受闪电的伤害。G项中的“Whether you love or hate them”与前文相呼应，“thunderstorms produce dangerous lightning”说明了人们为什么需要采取措施以防受到伤害，与后文呼应。故G项“不管你喜欢还是讨厌雷暴，雷暴都会产生危险的闪电”符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文“It can follow the wires or phone lines into your room—ruining computers, TVs and other electronics.(它可以跟随电线或电话线进入你的房间，破坏电脑、电视和其他电子产品)”可知，空后提到它会顺着电线或电话线进入你的家，毁坏电脑、电视和其他电子设备。由此可推断，空处应介绍闪电发生时的一种情况。F项提到“闪电击中了你家的屋顶或附近的输电线，这很糟糕但不是最坏的”，与空后一句描述的更糟糕的情况衔接。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Lightning rods (避雷针) can protect a building from catching fire.(避雷针可以防止建筑物着火)”以及后文“They just provide a path for the electricity to reach the ground more safely.(它们只是为电力更安全地到达地面提供了一条通道)”可知，空前提到避雷针能保护建筑物避免着火，空后提到它们只是为闪电提供了一条更安全到达地面的通道。再根据空后的just可推断，空处应指出了避雷针不能起到的作用。D项“但是闪电击中你的房子的概率不会改变”与上下文相衔接。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Wires conduct electricity from the lightning rods to metal rods buried in the ground.(电线将电流从避雷针传导到埋在地下的金属棒)”可知，空前提到避雷针只是一个良好的安全系统的首要环节电缆将电从避雷针导入埋在地下的金属棒。由此可知，空处应与用电缆导电可能会带来的危险及应对措施有关。故E项“每处接头都必须安全以防闪电移动至建筑物上”承接上文。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据本段的小标题和空后“The Empire State Building gets struck by lightning around 20 times every year. Its lightning rod protects the structure, as well as the people inside.(帝国大厦每年被闪电击中约20次。它的避雷针保护着建筑物，也保护着里面的人)”可知，空处应与同一个地方可能多次被闪电击中有关。本句是对下文现象的概括描述，A选项中的“more than once”与下文的“around 20 times”相照应，故A项“它甚至可以击中同一个地点不止一次”符合语境。故选A。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost all of my holidays were spent with my grandpa. My grandpa was a retired army officer and the years in the army had made him a very tough person, which helped him a lot in fighting with cancer for a long time. Silver and golden stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest in grandma’s old photo albums reflected the marks of his distinguished service and numerous adventures. Grandpa had fine qualities and was a real personality. He was strict with his family, me included, as well as himself.
In our ancestral house there was a big pond as was common in bygone Bengali homes with lots of trees and bushes. Both my grandparents were fond of our so-called garden. One morning our new neighbor saw my grandpa planting two trees on both sides of our main gate, which still stand tall today. Across the street our new neighbor also got the same kind of tree and planted the trees exactly on both sides of his gate too.
My grandpa didn’t often give enough amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give his full attention to them, while our neighbor gave a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. My grandpa’s plants were simple but looked good. But our neighbor’s plants were much fuller and greener.
Normally, during April and May, we have short but violent thunderstorms called “Kalboishakhi”. One late evening during a Kalboishakhi we had showers with strong winds, which continued right throughout that night. Next morning along with my grandparents I came out to inspect the damage to our garden. I saw our neighbor was there in his garden too, but looked upset as his plants were uprooted. But, our plants were not damaged and were standing firm on the ground.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandpa’s explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious. He came up to my grandpa and asked with a touch of embarrassment, “How is this possible? I actually looked after my plants better.” My grandpa had his signature smile on and replied, “What you did spared the plants the need to work themselves hard for anything. I gave them just certain water and let their roots do the rest to search for more. And their roots went deeper, which made their position stronger. That is why they survived.”
Grandpa’s explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something. My grandpa was strict with me on many occasions with his do’s and don’ts, and that drove me to be independent and work hard for what I wanted, which, however, I’d rarely noticed. I became aware that anything easily got can go off much more easily. Still after a rainy night when the sun is clear and bright the next morning it reminds me of my grandpa’s words. The guidance has taken root in my mind and influences me all the way.

②根据第二段首句“爷爷的解释不仅说服了邻居，也让我意识到一些事情”可知，本段应围绕作者从上述事件中得到的感悟以及该事件对作者生活的影响展开。
