本文是一篇应用文，Smith在特价日购买了一部手机，但是没过几天就坏了，他发布了一个帖子向客服寻求帮助。客服在收到帖子后，提出了相应的措施。

【1题详解】

推理判断题。根据Smith帖子中的“This weekend, I purchased this phone from Great Deals and had issues with the device almost immediately. The phone works great most of the time, but it eventually shuts down without warning. (这个周末，我从Great Deals公司购买了这款手机，不久就出现了问题。这款手机大部分时间都工作正常，但最终它会在没有任何警告的情况下关机)”可知，Smith在周末的时候买了一部手机，并且使用了一定的时间。再根据广告页只在8月18日这天特价$328以及发帖时间8月20日是周一，可以推断出Smith是在8月18日周六特价这天买的。故选A。

【2题详解】

推理判断题。在Smith帖子中“Since I need the phone for work, I was hoping that a suitable solution could be found.(因为我工作需要电+话，所以我希望能找到一个合适的解决办法)”可知，Smith发帖的目的是为了寻求从一个关于解决手机问题的方法。故选D。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据广告页“Space Blue(太空蓝)”以及“Also available White and Pink(白色和粉色可选)”可知，本款手机一共有太空蓝、白色和粉色三种颜色。又根据Smith帖子中“However, they could only offer me the pink model as the others were out of stock at the store —and while l don't mind it, it wouldn't be very professional to have a phone in light color.(不过，他们只能给我提供粉红色的型号，因为其他型号在店里都没有货了——虽然我不介意，但如果

有浅色的手机就不太专业了)”可知，Smith不喜欢浅色的手机。由此推断出，Smith认为和他最匹配的颜色是太空蓝。故选D。

B

To my Charley on his wedding day:

I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer, I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring！

What I want to say to you, Charley, is that you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley.

Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together. And have to love three things. You have to love

1) Each other.

2) Your children (when you have some).

3) Your marriage.

What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you fight, and sometimes you and Catherine won’t even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories you’ve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you back together.

I’m very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things.

I love you every day！

Mom

4. Why did the mother write the letter to Charley?

A. To congratulate her son.

B. To give him some advice.

C. To show her pity.

D. To talk things through.

5. Why did the mother write the letter to Charley?

A. To congratulate her son.

B. To give him some advice.

C. To show her pity.

D. To talk things through.

6. What kind of feeling is mainly revealed in the letter?

A. Regret.

B. Pride.

C. Care.

D. Complaint.

7. What is implied about Charley in the letter?

A. He is forgetful.

B. He is patient.

C He is boring. D. He is worried.

【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A

本文是夹叙夹议文。文章是一位母亲在儿子结婚日写给他的一封信，关于将来的婚姻生活给儿子提出一些诚挚的建议。

【6题详解】

【7题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know

how you lose things.”母亲把写的条子放在Charley的礼服口袋里，是因为她知道Charley老弄丢东西。这暗示Charley很健忘。故选A。

C

When the two Afghan boys arrived，they were seemingly quiet and scared. In an effort to break their silence，I asked Umair if he liked to throw snow balls in winter because I knew the temperatures in their country can reach as low as —10 degrees centigrade. His face turned colorless. “I couldn’t sell the hats and gloves when it snowed. I would just sit in the room and wait for the snow to melt(融化）.How else would I earn the money to feed my family?” My heart sank.

In the days that followed, my husband and I offered to teach them English and mathematics. They were from diverse linguistic (语言的）backgrounds，so teaching them proved to be challenging but a lot of fun. In fact it became a mutual(共同的）experience. I remembered many words which I had not used since graduation.

Having passed through war zones and lived in jungles, the boys treasured the comfort provided to them by their foster carers, whose love made them show more confidence in daily life and exhibit enthusiasm for learning. Such was their hunger for learning that even if five minutes had passed the set time，there was a knock on the door, reminding us to start the lesson.

Another interesting character in this experience was my four-year-old son. His presence would keep the atmosphere cheerful and light. Learning was a mutual experience for him too. The boys would correct him when he made a mistake in counting, and he would correct the boys when they got wrong in pronunciation.

Teaching these children gave me some very important lessons in life：that a spirit which has the willingness to learn is stronger than the sharpest sword that an environment that fosters love, support and encouragement can make broken souls shine，and that learning and education is the true lighthouse to fight darkness in this world.

8. Why did the author ask Umair about snow balls?

A. She was curious what his life was like.

B. She liked to know the culture difference.

C. She wanted to encourage him to talk more.

D. She tried to help him adapt to the life here.

9. What brought the changes in the two boys?

A. Love and care.

B. English and mathematics.

C. Mutual interest and hobby.

D. Confidence and enthusiasm.

10. Which of the following can describe the author’s experience?

A. Teaching is an art.

B. Men learn while they teach.

C. Teaching can make a person.

D. Learning is a daily experience.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A Lifelong Lesson

B. A Desire for Learning

C. International Friendship

D. Teaching Two Afghan Boys

【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者及她丈夫教授两个阿富汗男孩学习英语和数学的经历。作者从这次经历中得到了很多启示，两个男孩对学习的渴望深深感动了作者，作者也用学习和教育照亮了男孩们前进的道路。

【8题详解】

推理判断题。由第一段“When the two Afghan boys arrived，they were seemingly quiet and scared. In an effort to break their silence，I asked Umair if he liked to throw snow balls in winter because I knew the temperatures in their country can reach as low as —10 degrees centigrade. ”（当两个阿富汗男孩到达时，他们看起来很安静，很害怕。为了打破他们的沉默，我问乌玛尔他是否喜欢在冬天扔雪球，因为我知道他们国家的温度可以低到零下10摄氏度）可知两个男孩刚到时是沉默无声的，作者询问男孩是否喜欢在冬天扔雪球是想鼓励男孩们开口说话。故选C。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。由第三段“ Having passed through war zones and lived in jungles, the boys

treasured the comfort provided to them by their foster carers, whose love made them show more confidence in daily life and exhibit enthusiasm for learning.”（经历过战火和丛林生活的孩子们，珍惜着抚养者给他们的舒适，他们的爱使他们在日常生活中表现出更多的自信和学习的热情）可知男孩们很珍惜抚养者的关心和爱护，他们的关爱让男孩们树立了信心，激发了他们对学习的热情。故选A。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。由最后一段“Teaching these children gave me some very important lessons in life”（教这些孩子给了我人生中非常重要的一课）可知给这些孩子上课也让作者学习到了生活中重要的哲理，所以作者的经历说明教人者也同时受教。故选B。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。本文讲述作者教授两个阿富汗男孩学习的经历，作者用教育和知识点亮了孩子们前进的道路，孩子们的学习热情也让作者明白了一些重要的人生道理。故本文的最佳标题是D选项“教两个阿富汗男孩”。故选D。

【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括。本文是一篇记叙文，考生可以寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词。此外，考生可以根据作者的观点和感悟找到文章的中心。本文第一段到第四段都在描述作者教授两个阿富汗男孩学习的经历，最后一段描述了作者对这次经历的感悟。因此，考生需通篇浏览全文并加以总结才能找到文章中心。

D

Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia(怀旧)or "blast from the past, "as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.

Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.

All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.

Why Hungarian, you ask ? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.

Dr.Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.

Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, "This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area. "

12. The"song"mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to________________.

A. recall the past

B. attract the readers

C. introduce the topic

D. compare the childhood with the present

13. According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?

A. Hungarian

B. Spanish

C. Italian

D. English

14. Based on the last two paragraphs，we can conclude that_______

A. singing is the best way to learn a language.

B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.

C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.

D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr.Ludke disagree with each other.

15. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?

A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.

B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.

C. A student is going to learn a new English song.

D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.

【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D

【分析】

本文是说明文。介绍了一项关于唱歌和外语习得之间关系的研究，研究表明：唱歌可能带来学习外语的新方法，“听-重复”唱歌方法可以支持外语学习。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。第一段“You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child…… The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.”(你听到了一首你小时候唱过的歌......歌词就像你多年前唱的那样清晰。)通过举例导入话题，人们都清楚地记得儿时唱歌的歌词是因为唱歌有助于记忆单词。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.”(研究人员表示，他们选择匈牙利语是因为懂这种语言的人并不多。它与日耳曼语或罗曼语(如意大利语或西班牙语)没有任何共同点)可知匈牙利语和日耳曼语或罗曼语没有任何共同点。故选A。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后两段中“singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.”(唱歌可能带来学习外语的新方法。大脑喜欢记住琅琅上口或令人难忘的旋律。)和“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”( 本研究提供了第一个实验证据，证明了“听-重复”唱歌方法可以支持外语学习，并为该领域的进一步研究打开了大门。)可知当外语学习者唱单词时，大脑可能工作得最好，故选B。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。从最后一段“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a

listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”( 本研究提供了第一个实验证据，证明了“听-重复”唱歌方法

可以支持外语学习，并为该领域的进一步研究打开了大门。)可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用，一个美国人要学汉语可以采用此方法。故选D。

【点睛】科普类的阅读理解一般为介绍科学知识、社会知识的文章。阅读这类短文时，要以文章事实为中心进行思考。

答题技巧：

1. 加强整体意识，把握文章的主要内容。给重要的句子和关键词做上记号，特别是各段中心句，可以更快捷的答题。

2. 审清题干，弄清楚问题的要点，从文章对应处寻找答案。比如第2题：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.”可知A项正确。

要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(Head line)，导语(Introduction)，背景(Back ground)，主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。比如第4题：推理判断题。从最后一段可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用，A项的描述是指学母语的情况，不适合。故选D。

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。

Everybody knows that Coca-Cola is red, and Starbucks is green. ___16___What we may notbe aware of is the science behind these companies’ choices of these colors.

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect people’s mo od, behavior, and

decision-making. Companies use color psychology when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to persuade us to buy.___17___.

___18___ For example, it’s no accident that many tech products use white; it’s simple, stylish, and clean. Meanwhile, cosmetics companies tend to go for purple, black, or pink colors that

represent passion, luxury, and romance.

Companies often choose action colors that urge you to buy right now. Red, for instance, is a high-energy, exciting color that moves people to action. Yellow is the color of summer, and it’s bright and attention-grabbing.___19___.

___20___ Studies show that consumers prefer brands that they recognize. Thus, those with an established color scheme, such as LEGO or Facebook, are likely to perform more strongly on the market.

All this goes to show that successful companies have mastered the art of color psychology. It may seem trivial, but their choice of colors has a profound effect on the spending habits of consumers.

A. Based on this, companies create fancy names for colors to make them sound special.

B. In fact, studies have shown that around 90 percent of people base their spending choices on color and appearance.

C. It’s no wonder that McDonald’s decided to use these two colors for its branding.

D. Chances are that most of us can name companies and their respective brand colors.

E. In fact, most major companies are associated with certain specific colors.

F. Because of this, companies use colors to influence how we feel about their products.

G. This is why, for example, Estée Lauder uses names like “passion fruit” and “hot rocket” for its lipsticks.

【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. C 20. E

本文是一篇说明文。公司在发展自己的品牌和打广告时会使用色彩心理学，以说服我们购买。成功的公司已经掌握了色彩心理学的艺术。这看似微不足道，但颜色的选择对消费者的消费习惯产生了深远的影响。

【16题详解】

根据前文“Everybody knows that Coca-Cola is red, and Starbucks is green.”可知每个人大家都知道可口可乐是红色的，星巴克是绿色的。根据后文“What we may not be aware of is the science behind these companies’ choices of these colors.”可知我们可能不知道的是这些公司选择这些颜色的背后的科学依据。连接上下文，D项（可能我们大多数人都可以说出这些公司的名字及它们品牌各自的颜色。）切题。后文中的“choices of these colors. ”与D选项的“their

respective brand colors”相呼应。故选D项。

【17题详解】

根据前文“Companies use color psychology when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to persuade us to buy.”可知公司在发展自己的品牌和打广告时会使用色彩心理学，以说服我们购买。B项（实际上，研究表明，大约90％的人的消费选择基于颜色和外观。）解释了为什么公司要使用色彩心理学，故选B项。

【18题详解】

根据后文“For example, it’s no accident that many tech products use white; it’s simple, stylish, and clean. Meanwhile, cosmetics companies tend to go for purple, black, or pink colors that represent passion, luxury, and romance.”可知许多高科技产品都使用白色并非偶然。白色简单，时尚，干净。同时，化妆品公司倾向于选择代表热情，奢华和浪漫色彩的紫色，黑色或粉红色。这一段举例阐述了某种颜色代表什么感觉，连接下文，F项（因此，公司使用颜色来影响我们对他们产品的感觉。）切题。故选F项。

【19题详解】

根据前文“Red, for instance, is a high-energy, exciting color that moves people to action. Yellow is the color of summer, and it’s bright and attention-grabbing.”可知例如，红色是一种高能量，令人兴奋的颜色，带动人们行动。黄色是夏天的颜色，明亮而引人注目。C选项（难怪麦当劳决定将这两种颜色用于其品牌。）与前文构成因果关系，C项的“these two colors”指的就是前文的黄色与红色。故选C项

【20题详解】

根据后文“Studies show that consumers prefer brands that they recognize. Thus, those with an established color scheme, such as LEGO or Facebook, are likely to perform more strongly on the market.”可知研究表明，消费者更喜欢他们认可的品牌。因此，那些具有确定的配色方案的人（例如LEGO或Facebook）在市场上的表现可能会更强。连接下文，E项（实际上，大多数大公司都与某些特定颜色相关联。）切题。E项中的“certain specific colors”与后文的“established color scheme” 相呼应。选E项。

I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but

___22___ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the ___23___ I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more ___24___ than the whistle gave me pleasure.

___25___, this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was ___26___to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and ___27___ the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.”

If I knew a miser(守财奴)who ___28___ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, ___29___ gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but ___30___ devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing ___31___ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are payi ng too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of ___32___ who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his ___33___, and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dea r, very dear, for his whistle.” ___34___, the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) ___35___ value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”

误认识——为他们的哨子付出了太多。A. As a result结果；B. By contrast相比之下；C. On average平均；D. In short简而言之。空后的“the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) ___15___ value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.””是对上文的总结，用in short引出，故D项正确。

【点睛】本篇第6空B项determined的干扰性较大，有些同学受思维定式的影响会认为应该用be determined to do(决心做某事)，但根据第一段中的“Being _1___ with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one”可知，我是经不住哨声的诱惑才用兜里所有的钱换回了那个口哨子的，因此此处与上文呼应，说的是这件事给我的教训——当我忍不住（禁不住诱惑）买一些我不需要的东西时，我提醒自己“不要为哨子付出太多”，be tempted to do表示“受诱惑做某事、忍不住做某事”，故A项tempted正确。
