B
One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!”
It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well.
A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isn’t that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it didn’t work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui.
“What’s this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed.
“Zhe — the zhe in Zhejiang.”
“Third tone?”
“Fourth tone.”
I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory — I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.”
It was her way of teaching Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground.
I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasn’t the American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn’t mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet.
And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.
4. Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3?
A. burst out. B. gave in.
C. returned. D. complained.
5. What did the writer expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?
A. Immediate correction. B. A new challenge.
C. An encouraging response. D. A strict comment.
6. How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching?
A. Candy-coated. B. Weakness-focused.
C. Interest-driven. D. Criticism-absent.
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. The writer was struggling with Liao’s teaching.
B. The American way of teaching is better for adults.
C. The writer was not gifted in language learning.
D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者跟着廖老师学习中文的心路历程，经过一个多月的学习后，除了一个字以外其他字都认识，但在满足感还没有形成一半之前，他的老师就说不对。老师的教学方式是：成功是预料之中的，失败是要受到批评并且要立即纠正的，这让作者感到很沮丧，他希望因为他付出的努力而得到表扬。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句的前文内容第二段末尾以及第三段内容“The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!” It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well.”可知廖老师对作者的朗读中评价为“不对”，而作者在脑海里产生了各种疑问，觉得难道剩余的全对了也不能抵消一个错的吗，因此可推知“A voice in my head whined”在讲述作者心里颇有微词。因此划线单词whined与选项D“complained(抱怨)”有相同含义。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第八段内容“I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes…(我转向廖老师，我的眼睛说(或者至少我想象他们在说):你现在觉得我怎么样?她的眼睛里似乎有某种满足)”可知，作者期待廖老师对自己的表现感到满意，得到老师的鼓励。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第十段内容“In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet. (在中国，成绩单上的一个B比它周围的所有B更重要。继续工作;你还没有取得任何成就。)”可知中国式的教育重点关注弱项，有不对就强调指出错误，因此推知作者认为中国式教育强调关注弱项。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.( 我很沮丧，但我也很固执；我决定让廖老师知道我是对的。)”可知，作者决心在学习的过程中同时要与廖老师的教学作斗争。选项A“The writer was struggling with Liao’s teaching.”属于合理推理。故选A项。
C
We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?
According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water.
According to Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste.
“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________________.
A. show an example B. draw a conclusion
C. analyze a phenomenon D. introduce a topic
9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it.
B. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter.
D. Covered water can last for a thousand years.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. BPA does little harm to our health.
B. Tap water is always safe to drink.
C. Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat.
D. Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already.
11. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Why Water is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water
C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。本文就喝剩下的水是否会变坏进行了研究。研究表明没喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，但只要水质是好的，保存恰当不被细菌污染，是不会变坏的。但专家建议不要用塑料杯要用金属或玻璃制品装热水。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，本段讲述昨天没有喝完的水味道有点怪，有人会把它扔掉，是因为认为水坏了，但是真的吗？结合下文的内容，可知，写第一段的目的就是引出下文的一个话题。分析选项可知D项符合题意。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Truls Krogh的话“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段----第七段的内容可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。但是一旦不小心弄脏了，可能会将微生物带入水里，在周围温度和阳光透过窗户的帮助下，这些微生物迅速繁殖。水迟早将会被细菌破坏。由此可推断出，微生物容易在高温下产生。分析选项可知C项（微生物在高温下容易产生）符合题意，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文的主旨在第一段，即在第一段讲述昨天没有喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，水质真的坏了吗？结论是味道会变，味道当然与水的质量没有多大关系。接着对这个问题“But is it true?”进行了大量的研究调查，证明只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，不被污染都是安全可饮用的。由此可推断出C项（水真的会坏吗）符合题意，故选C。
【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第4小题，根据第一段中的“He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history.”，倒数第二段中的“He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971”及倒数最后一段“Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. ‘I need the sea because it teaches me, I move in the university of the waves. ’”可知，他曾被称为诗歌中的毕加索。他深受各阶层智利人的爱戴，作品涉及范围广。他的作品有创造性，有激情，由此得出他是一个才华横溢的人，也是一个充满激情的人。分析选项A. Brilliant and passionate才华横溢，充满激情；B. Brave and impatient勇敢而不耐烦C. Committed and awkward忠诚而笨拙；D. Friendly and honest友好而诚实，可知A符合题意，故选A。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的事实基础上，作出一定判断和推论，推断合理信息。要以文字信息为依据，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。
D
Last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55million people in the U. S. are “gig workers” which are more than 35 percent of the U. S. workforce. That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020.
People are drawn to gig work(零工)because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment. And recent technologies like Skype, Slack, and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality, giving you maximum freedom, an ideal work­life balance, and the chance to pursue your passions.
If you’re thinking of joining the gig economy it’s never been easier. One of the great things about the gig economy(经济)is that you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck. As a freelancer (自由职业者), you no longer have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress. Instead,you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with. But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline. With no boss to make sure you’re on task, it’s all on you.
A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help. On the employer’s end, it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven’t been given an opportunity to improve their skills. Businesses have to evolve to learn how to account for an influx(涌入)of temporary workers. It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted.
The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated by the day. You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maintain a competitive edge. This is true even for people in traditional office settings, but it’s critical if you’re your own boss.
12. What made the gig life a reality?
A. An ideal work­life balance.
B. New technologies.
C. A little extra money.
D. Maximum freedom.
13. What does the underlined phrase “breathing down your neck” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Making you unable to breathe freely.
B. Standing very close behind you.
C. Threatening you by saying something.
D. Monitoring you closely.
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Employers should invest in training the temporary workers.
B. Gig workers start their jobs out of passion.
C. It’s hard for employers to employ people for higher positions.
D. It’s hard for gig workers to develop skills.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Gig Economy
B. The Challenges of the Gig Economy
C. The Increase of the Gig Economy
D. The Reasons for the Gig Economy
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了零工经济这一社会现象及其优势和劣势。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And recent technologies like Skype, Slack, and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality, giving you maximum freedom, an ideal work­life balance, and the chance to pursue your passions.( Skype、Slack和Dropbox等最新技术使零工生活成为现实，给你最大的自由，理想的工作与生活平衡，以及追求自己激情的机会)”可知，是新的科学技术使零工经济成为现实的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线部分下文“As a freelancer (自由职业者), you no longer have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress. Instead,you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with. But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline. With no boss to make sure you’re on task, it’s all on you. (作为一名自由职业者，你不再需要迎合可能会导致身体或情绪压力的公司文化或工作时间表。相反，你可以选择你的工作类型和你的合作伙伴。但是这种程度的自由需要相应的纪律。没有老板来确保你完成任务，一切都取决于你自己)”可知gig work的工作方式将使人不再受到老板的监督，考自律。这是对划线句子的进一步解释，介绍零工经济的一大优势。由此可推测，画线短语breathing down your neck指老板密切监督你，使你没有自由处理某些事情的机会，D项Monitoring you closely意为“对你密切监视”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help. On the employer’s end, it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven’t been given an opportunity to improve their skills.(很多零工之所以开始自己的职业生涯，是因为雇主迫切需要帮助。从雇主的角度来看，当人才库里满是没有机会提高技能的零工时，很难让人担任更高的管理职位)”可推断，从雇主的角度来说，雇佣了大量没有受过专门培训的零工，就需要投入资金培训这些临时工使他们胜任管理岗位。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55million people in the U. S. are “gig workers” which are more than 35 percent of the U. S. workforce. That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020.(去年，美国劳工统计局报告称，美国有5500万人是“零工”，占美国劳动力的35%以上。预计到2020年，这一数字将跃升至43%)”可知，本文主要介绍美国零工经济这一发展趋势，下文分析了这一社会现象大的优势和劣势。故选A项。

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
____16____ In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. ____17____ Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. ____18____ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.
However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. ____19____ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. ____20____
Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了眼神交流的目的和意义，不同场合的眼神交流所传达的意思是不一样的，所以眼神交流要根据不同的关系和场合来进行。
【详解】1.根据下文“In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.”(在公交车上，你可以看着一个陌生人，但不要看太久。如果他感觉到你在盯着他看，他可能会觉得不舒服。)可知，此处是具体的例子说明眼神交流可能使人不舒服，B选项“Do you have such a kind of experience?”(你有这种经历吗？)与下句所描述的具体经历形成呼应关系，故选B。
2.根据上文“If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.”(如果你感觉被盯着看，且你认为这是完全没必要的，你会上下打量自己，看看自己是不是有什么问题。)可知，如果某人盯着你看，你会上下打量自己，看是否自己有问题，空处应该是对上文进行继续描述，G选项“If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.”(如果你自身没有问题，你会因为这样被盯着而生气。)符合，承接上文，故选G。
3.根据下文“If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.”(如果一个男人盯着一个女人超过10秒钟，并且拒绝把目光从她身上移开，他的意图就很明显了。他希望引起她的注意，让她知道他在欣赏她。)可知，此处具体描述盯着异性看这种行为，是为了引起对方的注意，F选项“But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.”(但是当你盯着异性看的时候，事情就不一样了。)引起下文，其中“staring at the opposite sex.”和下文中的“man”和“woman”相呼应，故选F。
4.根据上文“However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking”(然而，当两个人在谈话时，说话者只会时不时地看着听话者的眼睛，以确保听话者能关注自己的讲话。)可知，此句具体描述了正常的眼神交流所传达的意思，C选项“That’s what normal eye contact is all about.”(那就是正常的眼神交流。)承接上文，对上文进行总结，故选C。
5.根据上文“A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.”(一个不会说谎的人，通常会盯着被骗的人看太久，从而暴露自己。他错误地认为直视对方是诚实交流的做法。)可知，不会说谎的人盯着被骗的人太久，这样会暴露自己，但是他却错误地认为直视对方是诚实交流的做法，空处应该描述不会说谎的人盯着被骗的人看太久这种行为所造成的真正后果，A选项“On the contrary, it will give him away.”(相反，这会暴露自己。)符合，承接上文，其中give him away(暴露自己)与上文中的expose himself(暴露自己)相呼应，故选A。

38. has risen
39. carried
40. to 41. choosing
42. their 43. characters
44. who 45. globally
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。俄罗斯的大学入学考试将把普通话作为选修外语。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。language指的是“（某国）语言”时为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且elective的首字母的发音为元音因素，所以用冠词an来修饰。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查序数词。the+序数词表示“第......”。本句表示第五，所以应用序数词fifth。故填fifth。
【38题详解】
考查现在完成时。由“in the past decade”可知，本句为现在完成时，主语为The number of Chinese learners，谓语为has risen。故填has risen 。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。分析句子可知， survey 与carry out在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填carried 。
【40题详解】
考查介词。approach to “......的方法”为固定短语。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。分析句子可知，本句为with的复合结构作状语，people与choose在逻辑上是主动关系，所以应用现在分词。故填choosing 。
【42题详解】
考查代词。their形容词性物主代词，修饰名词。故填their 。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。character为可数名词，中国的汉字不止一个，所以应用character的复数。故填characters。
【44题详解】
考查关系代词。分析句子可知，those为先行词，在后面的定语从句中作主语，所以关系代词为who。故填who。
【45题详解】
考查副词。globally为副词修饰动词use。故填globally。
【点睛】with复合结构构成方式如下：
1. with或without-名词/代词+形容词
2. with或without-名词/代词+副词
3. with或without-名词/代词+介词短语
4. with或without-名词/代词 +动词不定式
5. with或without-名词/代词 +分词
分析小题6的句子可知，本句为with的符合结构作状语，people与choose在逻辑上是主动关系，所以应用现在分词。故填choosing 。

47.Ⅵ.第二节 故事续写(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。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was raining pretty hard on Halloween, but that wasn’t going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick or treating. We decided to start at Miss Parson’s house. Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived nearby because she often shared her self-made cookies with us. We usually finished them in a second, especially when we were hungry after class. Sometimes, when we visited her or did something for her, she always gave us a surprise.
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she’d offer. As we walked down the street, I held an umbrella, a bag for candy, and my sister’s hand. Jackolanterns gave soft light along the street. Spider webs hung in all the windows. Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways. After we had walked a few blocks, we were wet from head to toes, and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.
There was a light on at Miss Parson’s house,but there were no ghosts,goblins(小妖精), or Jackolanterns. We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window. She was drinking a cup of hot tea.
“Maybe she doesn’t celebrate Halloween,” Kate said with a sigh, disappointedly.
“Well, even if she doesn’t, she usually likes it when we visit her,” I said and knocked on the door.
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened the door and saw our dressing.“Is today Halloween?” she asked.“I completely forgot. I am so sorry.”
Paragraph 1：
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
The next morning, a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Miss Parson rushed us into her house. “It’s cold out there,” she said. My sister’s face was shining from the rain and Miss Parson dried her cheeks. “Thank you,” Kate said. “Trick or treat？” “Oh, right！Treats,” said Miss Parson. Then she disappeared for a moment and came back with a big smile on her face.“Open those bags wide,” she said. She dropped two boxes of cocoa (可可) into our bags. “Winter is just around the corner,” she said.“Some hot cocoa will keep you warm.” “Thank you,” we both said. “Happy Halloween!”
The next morning, a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids. We told Mom about how Miss Parson had forgotten Halloween and about what she had given to us and the other kids.“It sounds as if nobody was very upset, even though she forgot Halloween,” said Mom. “No, we were happy,” I said.“Although she didn’t give us candy, it was kind of fun for us all to get something different for a change. I hope it will become a Halloween tradition to give out unusual treats.”
