第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The new semester is almost here. While space in your luggage may limit what you can bring with you from home, you can pack a lot of things into your smartphone, which may be the most useful thing you bring with you all year.
Hours
The time-managing app Hours first asks you to set a timer for your initial task, then you can begin handling it until an alarm sets off telling you that time’s up. By setting more timers for more tasks, you can split your day into small sections so that each one focuses on one single thing instead of having different tasks overlap one another.
7 Minute Workout
You thought it was easy to spend one hour every day working out to stay in shape, only to find that it’s simply too time-consuming to make it a daily routine. As the name indicates, this app only requires a minimal investment. To start, you choose from various training modes. Each mode contains a training circuit of 7 minutes. If you find yourself powering through the workouts too easily, the “Be challenged” section includes more challenging modes like “abs of steel” and “mad”.
DailyCost
Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.
Ouizlet
While most of us aren’t into rote learning, you can’t deny that sometimes one of the most effective ways to absorb new vocabularies is to use flashcards. Quizlet allows you to create your own flashcards or you can simply share the ones made by the millions of other users. This online community is what sets this app apart from others like it, blurring the boundary between education and social networking. Quizlet covers a wide range of subjects, which makes it especially handy when you’re preparing for a major exam.
1. Who is the passage written for?
A. Tech enthusiasts. B. College students. C. Job hunters. D. App developers.
2. What can we learn about the apps?
A. Hours improves efficiency by multitasking. B. 7 Minute Workout requires a fee.
C. DailyCost helps manage finances. D. Quizlet features vocabulary learning.
3. Which apps would be useful if you buy a soda on your way to the gym for a two-hour workout?
A. Hours and 7 Minute Workout. B. 7 Minute Workout and Quizlet.
C. DailyCost and Quizlet. D. Hours and DailyCost.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四款适合学生使用的应用程序。
1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The new semester is almost here.(新学期就要到了)”以及最后一段“Quizlet covers a wide range of subjects, which makes it especially handy when you’re preparing for a major exam.( Quizlet涵盖了广泛的科目，这使得它在你准备重大考试时特别方便)”可推知，文章针对的是大学生。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.(DailyCost不是帮你整理账单和贷款，而是追踪你在日常用品上的花费——饮料、零食、电影——并告诉你这些小事情是如何累积起来，消耗掉你的银行余额的)”可知，DailyCost帮助管理财务。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The time-managing app Hours first asks you to set a timer for your initial task, then you can begin handling it until an alarm sets off telling you that time’s up. By setting more timers for more tasks, you can split your day into small sections so that each one focuses on one single thing instead of having different tasks overlap one another.(时间管理应用Hours首先要求你为你的初始任务设置一个计时器，然后你可以开始处理它，直到闹钟响起告诉你时间到了。通过为更多的任务设置更多的计时器，你可以把你的一天分成小的部分，这样每个部分都专注于一件事，而不是让不同的任务相互重叠)”以及倒数第二段“Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.(DailyCost不是帮你整理账单和贷款，而是追踪你在日常用品上的花费——饮料、零食、电影——并告诉你这些小事情是如何累积起来，消耗掉你的银行余额的)”可知，如果你在去健身房锻炼两个小时的路上买了一瓶苏打水，Hours and DailyCost应用程序会有用。故选D。
B
My wife, Hannah, and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either over-watered or under-watered. But after my diagnosis with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, with a prognosis of little more than a year to live, I loved the idea of having something new and green around.
My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-sized stalks braided together. We placed the plant in the living room window across from the couch where I spent much of the day. I smiled when I looked at it over the rim of the mug of coffee Hannah brought me each morning.
I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. As a family physician, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling purposeless and unsettled Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me that plants and people could still depend on me.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed radiation and chemotherapy. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Both the tree and I were thriving.
4. What led the writer to keep the plant?
A. Work experience. B. Misfortune in life.
C. Hannah’s insistence. D. Mitch’s suggestion.
5. According to paragraph 3, why did the writer feel fulfilled?
A. He continued his career. B. He overcame his disease.
C. He could still be a caregiver. D. He developed a love for planting.
6. Which of the following best describes the writer?
A. Caring and optimistic. B. Accomplished and determined.
C. Worried but understanding. D. Aimless but open-minded.
7. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Healing Bamboo B. A Determined Doctor
C. An Incurable Disease D. A Miracle Cure
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的经历，作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败，后来作者患癌后，养了一株竹子，作者也把竹子和自己的健康联系在一起。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But after my diagnosis with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, with a prognosis of little more than a year to live, I loved the idea of having something new and green around. (但在我被诊断出患有胶质母细胞瘤，一种晚期脑癌，预后只有一年多一点的生命后，我喜欢周围有一些新鲜绿色的东西的想法。)”及第三段可知，生活中的不幸让作者保留了这株植物。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. (我告诉汉娜我想亲自照料这株植物。照顾这株植物给了我一种成就感，有时我觉得自己很没用。)”和“The enormous change left me feeling purposeless and unsettled Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me that plants and people could still depend on me.(这种巨大的变化让我感到没有目的和不安，给植物浇水，尽管这是一件小事，但却把我与我旧身份的一个核心部分联系起来，并告诉我，植物和人们仍然可以依赖我。)”可知，作者感到满足是因为他仍然可以做看护人。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As a family physician, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. (作为一名家庭医生，我习惯于成为提供护理的人，而不是接受护理的人。)”和最后一段“Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed radiation and chemotherapy. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Both the tree and I were thriving. (在接下来的几个月里，我从手术中恢复过来，并完成了放疗和化疗。即使在我回到工作岗位后，我也继续照料这株植物。很快，它的高度几乎增加了一倍，叶子闪闪发光，郁郁葱葱。这棵树和我都茁壮成长。)”可推断，作者有爱心且乐观。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-sized stalks braided together. (我的朋友米奇送给我一个深绿色的陶碗，里面有三根铅笔大小的茎，他说这是一株幸运的竹子。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者的经历，作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败，后来作者患癌后，养了一株竹子，作者也把竹子和自己的健康联系在一起。所以“A Healing Bamboo(一株有治疗功用的竹子)”故选A。
C
Our current climatic stable period is called the Long Summer. From the moment life began on the planet billions of years ago, the climate has swung often abruptly from one state to another-from tropical swamp (沼泽) to frozen ice age. Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold. That stability has allowed human beings to thrive; farming has taken hold and civilizations have arisen.
But as human population has exploded over the past few thousand years, the fragile ecological balance that kept the Long Summer going has become threatened. The rise of industrialized agriculture has led to pollution on land and water, while our fossil fuel addiction has moved billions of tons of carbon from the land into the atmosphere, heating the climate ever more.
Now a new article in the Sept. 24 issue of Nature says the safe climatic limits in which humanity has blossomed are more vulnerable than ever and that unless we recognize our planetary boundaries and stay within them，we risk total disaster. But the fact is that it’s tough for policymakers to work out a new climate change agreement unless they know just how much carbon needs to be cut to keep people safe.
The problem is that identifying, those limits is a vague science-and even trickier to translate into policy. Scientists still aren’t certain as to how sensitive the climate will be to warming over the long term. It’s possible that the atmosphere will be able to handle more carbon or that disaster could be triggered at lower levels. But climate diplomats should remember that while they can negotiate with one another, ultimately, they can’t negotiate with the planet. Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.
8. What contributed to the prosperity of human beings?
A. Farming and civilization. B. Long-term stable climate.
C. Changes on the earth. D. The beginning of life.
9. Which of the following has put the ecosystem in danger?
A. The rise of agriculture. B. The imbalanced industry.
C. The heavy use of fossil fuel. D. The upcoming climatic swing.
10. How does the writer develop the last paragraph?
A. By presenting facts. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By making predictions.
11. What is suggested to solve the climate problem?
A. Identifying safe climatic limits. B. Working with climate diplomats.
C. Reducing our impact on the planet. D. Establishing a climate change agreement.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候对人类繁荣的重要作用以及人类社会发展对气候造成的不良影响。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold. That stability has allowed human beings to thrive; farming has taken hold and civilizations have arisen.(然而，在过去的一万年里，按照历史标准，气候保持了非常稳定：既不太热也不太冷。这种稳定使人类得以繁荣；农业开始发展，文明开始兴起)”可知，长期稳定的气候促成了人类的繁荣。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The rise of industrialized agriculture has led to pollution on land and water, while our fossil fuel addiction has moved billions of tons of carbon from the land into the atmosphere, heating the climate ever more.(工业化农业的兴起导致了土地和水的污染，而我们对化石燃料的依赖已经将数十亿吨的碳从土地转移到大气中，使气候更加升温)”可知，化石燃料的大量使用使生态系统处于危险之中。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The problem is that identifying, those limits is a vague science-and even trickier to translate into policy. Scientists still aren’t certain as to how sensitive the climate will be to warming over the long term. It’s possible that the atmosphere will be able to handle more carbon or that disaster could be triggered at lower levels. But climate diplomats should remember that while they can negotiate with one another, ultimately, they can’t negotiate with the planet. Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.(问题在于，确定这些限制是一门模糊的科学，而将其转化为政策则更加棘手。科学家们仍然不确定气候对长期变暖有多敏感。大气有可能能够处理更多的碳，或者在较低的水平上引发灾难。但气候外交官应该记住，虽然他们可以彼此谈判，但最终，他们无法与地球谈判。除非我们更好地管理我们在地球上的存在，否则我们可能很快就会进入我们漫长夏天的最后几天)”可推知，作者通过做预测展开最后一段。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.(除非我们更好地管理我们在地球上的存在，否则我们可能很快就会进入我们漫长夏天的最后几天)”可知，解决气候问题的建议是减少我们对地球的影响。故选C。
D
It’s a question that’s bothered cultural critics for decades: while we know more than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result of the increasing amount of technology at our disposal?
The current debate about intelligence, sparked by Nicholas Carr’s recent The Shallows, asks what the Internet is doing to our brains? Like Susan Jacoby’s The Age of American Unreason, Mr. Carr addresses the sense of despair among American intellectuals about the country’s poor educational performance when compared with other countries. In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-olds suffer in the lower half of the rankings for the 30 wealthiest countries.
But things are rarely as they seem. E-books barely existed a decade ago, but have exploded in popularity since Amazon introduced its Kindle a few years back. E-books are now outselling hardcovers. Perhaps we are witnessing not a decline in book reading but a renaissance. The irony is that had computers been invented before books we would now.be anxious about the loss of multi-media, multi-tasking, computer-gaming skills as our children wasted their time burying themselves in single topic paper books.
“There is simply no experimental evidence to show that living with new technologies fundamentally changes brain organization in a way that affects one’s ability to focus,” says Daniel Simons, a psychologist at Union College, New York.
The danger, if there is one, is that the easy, on-demand access to lots of information from the Internet may delude us into mistaking the data we download for genuine wisdom worth acting upon. Only fools would venture into such a forest of information with anything less than their eyes wide open and their brains fully engaged .Fortunately，there are fewer fools around than some of the scaremongers(散布谣言者)like to think.
12. What makes American scholars upset?
A. US kids’ weak academic performance.
B. The ongoing debate about intelligence.
C. The poor education in USA.
D. America’s wealth ranking.
13. Why are computers mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To contrast with the popularity of Kindle.
B. To highlight the benefits of high tech.
C. To warn about a decline in reading.
D. To stress the importance of books.
14. What does the underlined word “delude" mean in paragraph 5?
A. terrify B. argue C. force D. trick
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. New technology changes our brains.
B. Exposure to high tech should be reduced.
C. Advanced technology won’t make us dumb
D. Nicholas Carr released a book on intelligence.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章议论的话题是当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，人类不会因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like Susan Jacoby’s The Age of American Unreason, Mr. Carr addresses the sense of despair among American intellectuals about the country’s poor educational performance when compared with other countries. (和苏珊·雅各比(Susan Jacoby)的《美国非理性时代》一样，卡尔讲述了美国知识分子对本国教育表现与其他国家相比不佳的绝望情绪。)”以及“In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-olds suffer in the lower half of the rankings for the 30 wealthiest countries.(在阅读、数学和科学方面，美国15岁的学生在30个最富裕国家中排名靠后。)”可知，美国孩子的学习成绩不佳让美国学者感到不安。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perhaps we are witnessing not a decline in book reading but a renaissance. The irony is that had computers been invented before books we would now be anxious about the loss of multi-media, multi-tasking, computer-gaming skills as our children wasted their time burying themselves in single topic paper books.( 也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。具有讽刺意味的是，如果电脑早于书籍发明，我们现在会担心多媒体、多任务处理和电脑游戏技能的丧失，因为我们的孩子把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上。)”可知，随着科技的发展，也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。故提及电脑是因为强调科技所带来的益处。如果不是电脑的出现，孩子们会把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上，即电脑丰富了人类的读书。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的内容“into mistaking the data we download for genuine wisdom worth acting upon.(我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧)”可知，方便地、按需地从互联网上获取大量信息会给我们带来一些消极的影响，该影响体现在欺骗我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧。故划线词delude与D选项为同义词，意为“欺骗”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It’s a question that’s bothered cultural critics for decades: while we know more than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result of the increasing amount of technology at our disposal?( 这是一个困扰了文化评论家几十年的问题：当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，我们是否因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢？)”以及通读全文可知，文章以“当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多，会不会因为技术而变得越来越愚蠢”的问题开篇，后文对此问题进行了否定回答，即先进的科技不会让我们变笨。故选C选项概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选C。

When school was over, the students were informed that there was no school on Monday-the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher. An extra day of fun suited Flora just fine. She loved breaks and expected to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Flora off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Flora?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Flora’s mom with a laugh.
Flora slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Flora enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketbal1 for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Flora was so looking forward to. But Flora was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Flora that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Flora couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Flora rubbed her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Flora, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Flora’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Flora asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Flora. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

【答案】范文
Flora felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. Turning a deaf ear to what they said, she stormed back into her room, slammed the door and flung herself on to the bed. “A holiday is a holiday,” she grumbled. Suddenly, the door swung open. Her mom walked up to herbed and said in an amiable voice, “Involving yourself in family affairs shows your capability of managing your life. And your participation means a lot to us.” Reluctant as she was, Flora picked up the mop to join them under her mom’s intense gaze.
Things began to change as she was doing the chores. Not until she sorted out the groceries did she realize things could be so neatly arranged and that cleaning the house could also clear her mind. Sunshine casting a warm glow on the tidy room, the mounting grievance in the morning eroded; giving way to a sense of achievement and satisfaction. “I’m sorry,” she apologized to her parents, “Now I know holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Sweat streaming down her face, the exhausting but rewarding experience was deeply engraved in her mind, reminding her of the responsibility to the family.

第二部分 阅读(共两节;满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The new semester is almost here. While space in your luggage may limit what you can bring with you from home, you can pack a lot of things into your smartphone, which may be the most useful thing you bring with you all year.
Hours
The time-managing app Hours first asks you to set a timer for your initial task, then you can begin handling it until an alarm sets off telling you that time’s up. By setting more timers for more tasks, you can split your day into small sections so that each one focuses on one single thing instead of having different tasks overlap one another.
7 Minute Workout
You thought it was easy to spend one hour every day working out to stay in shape, only to find that it’s simply too time-consuming to make it a daily routine. As the name indicates, this app only requires a minimal investment. To start, you choose from various training modes. Each mode contains a training circuit of 7 minutes. If you find yourself powering through the workouts too easily, the “Be challenged” section includes more challenging modes like “abs of steel” and “mad”.
DailyCost
Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.
Ouizlet
While most of us aren’t into rote learning, you can’t deny that sometimes one of the most effective ways to absorb new vocabularies is to use flashcards. Quizlet allows you to create your own flashcards or you can simply share the ones made by the millions of other users. This online community is what sets this app apart from others like it, blurring the boundary between education and social networking. Quizlet covers a wide range of subjects, which makes it especially handy when you’re preparing for a major exam.
1. Who is the passage written for?
A. Tech enthusiasts. B. College students. C. Job hunters. D. App developers.
2. What can we learn about the apps?
A. Hours improves efficiency by multitasking. B. 7 Minute Workout requires a fee.
C. DailyCost helps manage finances. D. Quizlet features vocabulary learning.
3. Which apps would be useful if you buy a soda on your way to the gym for a two-hour workout?
A. Hours and 7 Minute Workout. B. 7 Minute Workout and Quizlet.
C. DailyCost and Quizlet. D. Hours and DailyCost.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.(DailyCost不是帮你整理账单和贷款，而是追踪你在日常用品上的花费——饮料、零食、电影——并告诉你这些小事情是如何累积起来，消耗掉你的银行余额的)”可知，DailyCost帮助管理财务。故选C。

By setting more timers for more tasks, you can split your day into small sections so that each one focuses on one single thing instead of having different tasks overlap one another.(时间管理应用Hours首先要求你为你的初始任务设置一个计时器，然后你可以开始处理它，直到闹钟响起告诉你时间到了。通过为更多的任务设置更多的计时器，你可以把你的一天分成小的部分，这样每个部分都专注于一件事，而不是让不同的任务相互重叠)”以及倒数第二段“Instead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.(DailyCost不是帮你整理账单和贷款，而是追踪你在日常用品上的花费——饮料、零食、电影——并告诉你这些小事情是如何累积起来，消耗掉你的银行余额的)”可知，如果你在去健身房锻炼两个小时的路上买了一瓶苏打水，Hours and DailyCost应用程序会有用。故选D。

My wife, Hannah, and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either over-watered or under-watered. But after my diagnosis with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, with a prognosis of little more than a year to live, I loved the idea of having something new and green around.
My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-sized stalks braided together. We placed the plant in the living room window across from the couch where I spent much of the day. I smiled when I looked at it over the rim of the mug of coffee Hannah brought me each morning.
I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. As a family physician, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling purposeless and unsettled Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me that plants and people could still depend on me.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed radiation and chemotherapy. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Both the tree and I were thriving.
4. What led the writer to keep the plant?
A. Work experience. B. Misfortune in life.
C. Hannah’s insistence. D. Mitch’s suggestion.
5. According to paragraph 3, why did the writer feel fulfilled?
A. He continued his career. B. He overcame his disease.
C. He could still be a caregiver. D. He developed a love for planting.
6. Which of the following best describes the writer?
A. Caring and optimistic. B. Accomplished and determined.
C. Worried but understanding. D. Aimless but open-minded.
7. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Healing Bamboo B. A Determined Doctor
C. An Incurable Disease D. A Miracle Cure

Our current climatic stable period is called the Long Summer. From the moment life began on the planet billions of years ago, the climate has swung often abruptly from one state to another-from tropical swamp (沼泽) to frozen ice age. Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold. That stability has allowed human beings to thrive; farming has taken hold and civilizations have arisen.
But as human population has exploded over the past few thousand years, the fragile ecological balance that kept the Long Summer going has become threatened. The rise of industrialized agriculture has led to pollution on land and water, while our fossil fuel addiction has moved billions of tons of carbon from the land into the atmosphere, heating the climate ever more.
Now a new article in the Sept. 24 issue of Nature says the safe climatic limits in which humanity has blossomed are more vulnerable than ever and that unless we recognize our planetary boundaries and stay within them，we risk total disaster. But the fact is that it’s tough for policymakers to work out a new climate change agreement unless they know just how much carbon needs to be cut to keep people safe.
The problem is that identifying, those limits is a vague science-and even trickier to translate into policy. Scientists still aren’t certain as to how sensitive the climate will be to warming over the long term. It’s possible that the atmosphere will be able to handle more carbon or that disaster could be triggered at lower levels. But climate diplomats should remember that while they can negotiate with one another, ultimately, they can’t negotiate with the planet. Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.
8. What contributed to the prosperity of human beings?
A. Farming and civilization. B. Long-term stable climate.
C. Changes on the earth. D. The beginning of life.
9. Which of the following has put the ecosystem in danger?
A. The rise of agriculture. B. The imbalanced industry.
C. The heavy use of fossil fuel. D. The upcoming climatic swing.
10. How does the writer develop the last paragraph?
A. By presenting facts. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By making predictions.
11. What is suggested to solve the climate problem?
A. Identifying safe climatic limits. B. Working with climate diplomats.
C. Reducing our impact on the planet. D. Establishing a climate change agreement.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】

8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold. That stability has allowed human beings to thrive; farming has taken hold and civilizations have arisen.(然而，在过去的一万年里，按照历史标准，气候保持了非常稳定：既不太热也不太冷。这种稳定使人类得以繁荣；农业开始发展，文明开始兴起)”可知，长期稳定的气候促成了人类的繁荣。故选B。
【9题详解】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The problem is that identifying, those limits is a vague science-and even trickier to translate into policy. Scientists still aren’t certain as to how sensitive the climate will be to warming over the long term. It’s possible that the atmosphere will be able to handle more carbon or that disaster could be triggered at lower levels. But climate diplomats should remember that while they can negotiate with one another, ultimately, they can’t negotiate with the planet. Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.(问题在于，确定这些限制是一门模糊的科学，而将其转化为政策则更加棘手。科学家们仍然不确定气候对长期变暖有多敏感。大气有可能能够处理更多的碳，或者在较低的水平上引发灾难。但气候外交官应该记住，虽然他们可以彼此谈判，但最终，他们无法与地球谈判。除非我们更好地管理我们在地球上的存在，否则我们可能很快就会进入我们漫长夏天的最后几天)”可推知，作者通过做预测展开最后一段。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.(除非我们更好地管理我们在地球上的存在，否则我们可能很快就会进入我们漫长夏天的最后几天)”可知，解决气候问题的建议是减少我们对地球的影响。故选C。

It’s a question that’s bothered cultural critics for decades: while we know more than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result of the increasing amount of technology at our disposal?
The current debate about intelligence, sparked by Nicholas Carr’s recent The Shallows, asks what the Internet is doing to our brains? Like Susan Jacoby’s The Age of American Unreason, Mr. Carr addresses the sense of despair among American intellectuals about the country’s poor educational performance when compared with other countries. In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-olds suffer in the lower half of the rankings for the 30 wealthiest countries.
But things are rarely as they seem. E-books barely existed a decade ago, but have exploded in popularity since Amazon introduced its Kindle a few years back. E-books are now outselling hardcovers. Perhaps we are witnessing not a decline in book reading but a renaissance. The irony is that had computers been invented before books we would now.be anxious about the loss of multi-media, multi-tasking, computer-gaming skills as our children wasted their time burying themselves in single topic paper books.
“There is simply no experimental evidence to show that living with new technologies fundamentally changes brain organization in a way that affects one’s ability to focus,” says Daniel Simons, a psychologist at Union College, New York.
The danger, if there is one, is that the easy, on-demand access to lots of information from the Internet may delude us into mistaking the data we download for genuine wisdom worth acting upon. Only fools would venture into such a forest of information with anything less than their eyes wide open and their brains fully engaged .Fortunately，there are fewer fools around than some of the scaremongers(散布谣言者)like to think.
12. What makes American scholars upset?
A. US kids’ weak academic performance.
B. The ongoing debate about intelligence.
C. The poor education in USA.
D. America’s wealth ranking.
13. Why are computers mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To contrast with the popularity of Kindle.
B. To highlight the benefits of high tech.
C. To warn about a decline in reading.
D. To stress the importance of books.
14. What does the underlined word “delude" mean in paragraph 5?
A. terrify B. argue C. force D. trick
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. New technology changes our brains.
B. Exposure to high tech should be reduced.
C. Advanced technology won’t make us dumb
D. Nicholas Carr released a book on intelligence.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章议论的话题是当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，人类不会因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like Susan Jacoby’s The Age of American Unreason, Mr. Carr addresses the sense of despair among American intellectuals about the country’s poor educational performance when compared with other countries. (和苏珊·雅各比(Susan Jacoby)的《美国非理性时代》一样，卡尔讲述了美国知识分子对本国教育表现与其他国家相比不佳的绝望情绪。)”以及“In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-olds suffer in the lower half of the rankings for the 30 wealthiest countries.(在阅读、数学和科学方面，美国15岁的学生在30个最富裕国家中排名靠后。)”可知，美国孩子的学习成绩不佳让美国学者感到不安。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perhaps we are witnessing not a decline in book reading but a renaissance. The irony is that had computers been invented before books we would now be anxious about the loss of multi-media, multi-tasking, computer-gaming skills as our children wasted their time burying themselves in single topic paper books.( 也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。具有讽刺意味的是，如果电脑早于书籍发明，我们现在会担心多媒体、多任务处理和电脑游戏技能的丧失，因为我们的孩子把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上。)”可知，随着科技的发展，也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。故提及电脑是因为强调科技所带来的益处。如果不是电脑的出现，孩子们会把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上，即电脑丰富了人类的读书。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的内容“into mistaking the data we download for genuine wisdom worth acting upon.(我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧)”可知，方便地、按需地从互联网上获取大量信息会给我们带来一些消极的影响，该影响体现在欺骗我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧。故划线词delude与D选项为同义词，意为“欺骗”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It’s a question that’s bothered cultural critics for decades: while we know more than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result of the increasing amount of technology at our disposal?( 这是一个困扰了文化评论家几十年的问题：当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，我们是否因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢？)”以及通读全文可知，文章以“当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多，会不会因为技术而变得越来越愚蠢”的问题开篇，后文对此问题进行了否定回答，即先进的科技不会让我们变笨。故选C选项概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选C。

考查定语从句。句意：太极拳受道家和儒家思想以及中医的影响，以身体能量、阴阳循环和天人合一的理论为基础。分析句子，设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词Taijiquan，为物。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。句中be based on/upon为固定短语，意为“以……为基础”。故填on或者upon。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：与以打斗为导向的武术不同，它侧重于内部发展，其特点是套路练习，调节呼吸，培养正义，中立的心态。分析句子，设空处使用regulate的名词regulation作宾语，意为“调节”。故填regulation。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：太极图，阴阳图，来自于观察全年正午日晷投下的阴影。分析句子，句中came为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。句中shadow与throw之间为被动关系，故使用过去分词作后置定语。故填thrown。
【45题详解】

When school was over, the students were informed that there was no school on Monday-the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher. An extra day of fun suited Flora just fine. She loved breaks and expected to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Flora off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Flora?” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Flora’s mom with a laugh.
Flora slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Flora enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketbal1 for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Flora was so looking forward to. But Flora was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Flora that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Flora couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Flora rubbed her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Flora, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Flora’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Flora asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Flora. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

【答案】范文
Flora felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. Turning a deaf ear to what they said, she stormed back into her room, slammed the door and flung herself on to the bed. “A holiday is a holiday,” she grumbled. Suddenly, the door swung open. Her mom walked up to herbed and said in an amiable voice, “Involving yourself in family affairs shows your capability of managing your life. And your participation means a lot to us.” Reluctant as she was, Flora picked up the mop to join them under her mom’s intense gaze.
Things began to change as she was doing the chores. Not until she sorted out the groceries did she realize things could be so neatly arranged and that cleaning the house could also clear her mind. Sunshine casting a warm glow on the tidy room, the mounting grievance in the morning eroded; giving way to a sense of achievement and satisfaction. “I’m sorry,” she apologized to her parents, “Now I know holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Sweat streaming down her face, the exhausting but rewarding experience was deeply engraved in her mind, reminding her of the responsibility to the family.
