GaryBOne day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．In the library，I found my way into the "Children's Room"．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的）to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．I never told my mother about my"miraculous（奇迹般的）"experience that summer，but she sawa slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．4.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ______ ．A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons5.The book caught the author's eye because ______ ．A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children's stories very much6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______A. The author has become a successful writer．B. The author's mother read the same book．C. The author's mother rewarded him with books．D. The author has had happy summers ever since．7.Which one could be the best title of the passage？______A. Mum's Strict OrderB. The Charm of a BookC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for ReadingCA typical lion tamer （驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭）and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）----only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrongthings，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．8.Why does the lion tamer use a chair？______A. To show off his skills．B. To trick the lion．C. To get ready for a fight．D. To entertain the audience．9.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？______A. They feel puzzled over choices．B. They hold on to the wrong things．C. They find it hard to make changed．D. They have to do something for show．10.What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？______A. TolerantB. DoubtfulC. RespectfulD. Supportive11.When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to ______ ．A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceDIf you could have one superpower，what would it be？Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds，see through walls，or have superhuman strength may sound silly，but it actually gets to the heart of what reallymatters in your life．Every day in our work，we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world．They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess：the power to make a difference in the lives of others．We're not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor．Your lives are busy enough doing homework，playing sports，making friends，seeking after your dreams．But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself．Find an issue you are interested in and learn more．Volunteer or，if you can，contribute a little money to a cause．Whatever you do，don't be a bystander．Get involved．You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you're older．But why not start now？Our own experience working together on health，development，and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives．It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead．12.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Your life style．B. Your life value．C. Your trouble in life．D. Your life experience．13.Why does the author say they are inspired every day？______A. They possess different kinds of superpowers．B. They have got the power to change the world．C. Some people around them are making the world better．D. There are many powerful people in their life and work．14.What does the author stress in Paragraph 5？______A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause．B. Rising above self and acting to help others．C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity．D. Trying your best to help the poor．15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better．B. Much more progress will be made in the near future．C. The work on health is the most valuable experience．D. People's efforts have been materially rewarded．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：Schedule yearly exams．(1) Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eye- glasses．Protect against UV rays．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．(2)Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．(3) Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule：every 20 minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away．(4) As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses （隐形眼镜）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．(5) Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．A．Eat your greens．B．Eye care should begin early in life．C．They can properly protect your eyes．D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．F．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．16.

【小题2】B 【小题3】A 【小题4】B【解析】1．C．细节题．根据文章第一段最后一句This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．这是她克服我奇怪的问题的又一个武器-不会读书．可知母亲让他借书看是为了治愈他的阅读问题．故选C．2．B．细节题．根据文章第二段The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．一本书的封面引起了我的注意，它展示了一只小猎犬的照片．我最近养了一只小猎犬，这是我小时候第一只也是唯一的动物伴侣．可知，此本书引起作者注意的原因是这本书让作者想起了他自己的狗．所以本题选择B．3．A．推理题．根据第四段That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．那只狗是我的狗，我是书中的小男孩．故事结束时，我的脑海继续着最后一幕的团圆，直到我和自己的走失的狗在我的脑海里一起奔跑．可知作者感同身受地把自己与书本的主人公联系在一起．因此本题选A．4．B．主旨大意题．文章讲述了作者从一名阅读困难的孩子到最终成为一名成功的作家的故事，从而展现给我们我们书本的魅力．所以本题选择B．文章讲述了作者小时候是一名阅读困难的孩子，妈妈想办法法让"我"克服阅读障碍，于是让我步行到图书馆至少借一本书，那次经历让"我"从一名阅读困难的孩子最终成为一名成功的作家，文章旨在告诉我们书本的魅力．阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．8.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】28． B 考查细节理解．根据第一段中"When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time"可知，当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时，狮子关注椅子的四条腿，因此椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的．故选B．29．A 考查推理判断．根据第一段中的"With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next"可知，当注意力分散时，狮子开始变得困惑，人们跟狮子相似，也会困惑，不知道该怎么做．故选A．30．B 考查推理判断．根据第三段中"This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best"可知，专家们正忙于讨论哪一种选择是最好的，这令作者苦恼，因此可以推断出作者对专家的态度是怀疑．故选B．31．C 考查推理判断．根据第四段中"Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．"及"Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people"可知，当你面前挥舞着一把椅子时，你要集中精力做一件事，那就是开始下决心去做．成功的人的习惯之一就是在感觉准备好之前就开始行动，文中的"take immediate action"与"make a quick decision"同义．故选C．本文是一篇议论文．文章以驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前，狮子感到困惑，呆立不动的例子导入，其实我们人也一样，当面对多个选择时，不知该选哪一个，又怕选错了，因此往往进展很小，甚至保持原样．文章旨在告诉我们当遇到多种选择时，要专注一件事，并下决心做下去．解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．12.【答案】【小题1】B

something much larger than yourself．每个人都可以追逐自己的梦想，但如果你花一点时间和精力去做比自己的梦想更有意义的事，你会发现你的生活更有意义．故选B．（4）．A 推理判断题．文章最后一句说：It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead．帮助别人不但可以改变我们自己，也可以点燃那些最贫穷的人们积极乐观的生活希望．故选A．文章用超能力引出话题：假如一个人有了超能力会怎么样？想像一下你会读心术，会透视，或者拥有超人的力量，听起来有点傻，当其实这也是每个人看待生活的意义．每个人都可以拥有超能力：通过自己的付出，帮助别人，做对别人生活有意义的事．无论做什么，哪怕是一件小事，只要不是袖手旁观，每个人都能在改变自己的同时，也为别人点燃乐观向上的生活希望．这是一篇说理性的文章．这类文章出推理判断题较多，解题时要特别注意作者的态度和立场，不能加入自己的情感或主观臆断．文章一开始就表明了作者的态度：我们每个人都可以拥有超能力，这个超能力就是帮助别人．如果每个人都能付出一点，那么我们的世界将更加美好．作者态度鲜明的提出号召But why not start now？让我们每个人都行动起来吧！从我做起，从小事做起！对作者的写作态度判断准确了，解题时才不会犯错误．16.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】G 【小题4】A 【小题5】F【解析】1-5 B C G A F1．B．考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of

【小题2】bemade【小题3】to create【小题4】using【小题5】as【小题6】gradually 【小题7】who【小题8】development【小题9】were【小题10】with【解析】41．and 考查并列连词．这里列举了一些亚洲国家的名字，是并列关系，故在最后两个名词之间用and来连接．42．be made 考查固定词语搭配．be made of"由…制成"，句意：精美的筷子可能非由金银制成的筷子莫属，故填be made．43．to create 考查不定式做目的状语．句意：技术娴熟的工人也把各种各样的硬质木材和金属结合起来，来创造出特殊风格的筷子．这里是用不定式做目的状语，故填to create．44．using 考查现在分词做方式状语．people是动词use的逻辑主语，两者之间是主动关系，用现在分词作方式状语，故填using．45．as 考查时间状语从句．句意：随着人口的增长，人们把食物切成小块，这样可以煮得快一点．as是连词，表示"随着"的意思，引导时间状语从句，故填as．46．gradually 考查副词的用法．副词用来修饰形容词、动词或者副词，这道题中是用来修饰动词短语turned into的，故填gradually．47．who 考查非限制性定语从句．句中有逗号，说明是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Confucius 孔子，定语从句缺少主语，且指人，故填who．48．development 考查词性转换．the+名词+of，意为"…的…"，这里指"筷子的发展"，故填development．49．were 考查时态．根据句意可知，这里指的是刀子因太暴力而不适合在餐桌上使用，believed后跟一个宾语从句，and连接了两个并列的谓语，主语knives是复数，根据时态一致的原则，这里用一般过去时，故填were．50．with 考查介词的用法．句意：在印度，大部分人还是用传统的吃饭方法--用手拿，with+表示具体工具的名词，故填with．文章主要从筷子使用的范围，制作筷子的方式和方法，筷子使用的历史及其发展等几方面来展开论述的．本题主要考查词法和句法知识，集中考察了词性转换，并列句，定语从句，状语从句和非谓语动词等知识．语法填空是近年来高考英语推出的一种新题型．这种题型能全面检测学生在英语词汇、语法，甚至是句法上的运用能力，能更科学地反映学生的英语综合水平．本题型分两种情况：一种为已给单词提示，一种为不给单词提示．不给词时，这时候通常填的是虚词，并且只填一个词，如介词，冠词，副词，连词．已给单词提示题型的技巧：此类题可以考查学生对单词形式变化的掌握程度．单词形式变化主要有两种，一是词的形、数、式的变化，一是词的派生变化．在判断出词的变化之后还应该进一步审题，看是否需要使用复合的变化形式，这一点是很重要的．42.【答案】In
