Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information especially numbers， percentages, and other data . A
graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more pages and pages and pages explaining the data .
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title ,a main idea ,and
supporting details .You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text .
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title , a legend or key, and labeled axes. An
active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the
data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually
summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating
what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key ,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the
graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner, Usually these axes are
the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis
measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1 ,we see that the x-axis shows grades that
students earned, and the y-axis shows bow many students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A
because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a
simple graph like this(See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph ,but instead of Bars, it plots points and connects them with a line .It has the
same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can be read the same way .To read a line graph, it’s important to
focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points, This type of graph is most
commonly used to show how something changes over time.
Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first Five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see
that ,on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means
that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that
the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the
bird’s migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction
of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a
fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows on
month’s expense, (See Graph 3 ).
Food $ 25
Movies $ 12
Clothing $ 36
Savings $ 20
Books $ 7
31. When used in a graph，a legend is_____
A a guide to the symbols and colors
B. an introduction paragraph
C. the main idea
D. the data
32. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better ?
A. 4. B. 6. C. 10. D. 20 .
33. The bird covered the longest distance on _____
A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4
34. Which of the following cost Amy most ?
A. Food. B. Books C. Movies D. Clothing.
【答案】31. A 32. D 33. C 34. D

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich
then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to
the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say.
“Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be
denied an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was
crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we
had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa
would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of
Nepal. Hmm. Well …” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for
Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear
understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing
together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us,
respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential
teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were
imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my
life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove
useful.
35. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. The poor could hardly afford school education.
B. Those born stupid could not change their life.
C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.
D. The author’s father was born in a worker’s family.
36. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “__________”.
A. one new thing B. a request
C. some comment D. the news
37. It can be learned from the passage that the author ___________.
A. enjoyed talking about news B. knew very well about Nepal
C. appreciated his father’s educational technique D. felt regret about those wasted days
38. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?
A. Showing talents. B. Continual learning.
C. Family get-together. D. Winning Papa’s approval.
【答案】35. A 36. D 37. C 38. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者的父亲由于贫穷无法读书，但是他对学习很重视，要求自己的孩子每天都要
学习新知识，强调持续学习。表达了作者对于父亲的敬爱。
【35 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中 Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory,
for education was for the rich then.可知爸爸是一个赤贫农民的儿子，他很早就离开了学校，到一家工厂工作，
因为那时教育是富人的事。由此可知，父亲因为穷而无法上学，接受教育是富人的事情，穷人上不起学。
故选 A。
【36 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文 We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant 可知我们会谈论一
天的新闻，不论重要与否，都不是可以等闲视之的。由此可知，it 指代的是上文的 news，故选 D。
【37 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most
famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His
technique has served me well all my life.可知后来，在我接受培训成为一名未来 教师期间，我师从了一些最
著名的教育家。他们在传授爸爸一直都知道的东西——持续学习的价值。他的技术使我受益了一生。由此
可推知，作者很欣赏他父亲的教育技巧。故选 C。
【38 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中 His technique has served me well all my life.可知他 技术使我受益了一生。结合
上文讲述父亲每天都让孩子们讨论当天所发生的重大事情，以此来让孩子每天都学到新的知识，这样的讨
论都是在吃饭的时候进行的，由此可推知“dinner time”对作者最大的价值是持续学习。故选 B。
C
How a Teacher Can Change Your Life
Smiling with satisfaction, Karin Anderson continues to conduct while dozens of students were playing their
instruments, and Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony fills the hall. The emotional (情感的) drama of conducting an
orchestra (管弦乐团) of teenagers is part of a typical day’s teaching for Karin. “Teaching is like surfing,” she says.
“You have no idea what’s going to happen and there’s no guarantee that things will go according to plan. You have to
be on guard at all times.” But the unpredictability of her students doesn’t make her job hard, she says. In fact, working
的
的
with sometimes difficult teenagers, which she says might exhaust other teachers, is what keeps her coming back day
after day.
Karin believes music lessons may have unexpected benefits. Research has found that they improve a child’s
language development, and the reasoning skills extremely important to maths and science. “We can’t be sure if music
really makes kids perform better academically, or if smarter students just naturally become involved with music
anyway, but there might be a connection. Certainly, schools need something for those brighter students. It’s not so
much giving them a release from studying hard, but more that they need to be stretched, and pushed in a different
direction.”
But the benefits of music education are for everyone, not just the clever kids. Karin points out that there are
strong connections between music and the motivation to learn, the ability to focus, and even someone’s confidence
and tolerance.
Music can also help to create a positive, supportive learning environment, which Karin always tries to create in
her orchestra. Being grouped by age, not ability, makes everyone new feel welcome and part of a family. “In school
you’re very aware of social classes—the rich kids and the poor kids—and all the little groups that gossip all the time,”
says orchestra member Laura Greene. “But in the orchestra, everyone is part of the group, and equally important.
We’re all trying to improve together. We’ve all got unique talents.”
In Karin’s classroom, there are no awards decorating the walls. She says this might put the orchestra under
pressure or make them worry about competition, though in fact the school has won many prizes, which she is clearly
proud of. “What’s most important to me is that everyone works as a team,” she says. “It’s a magic moment when
there’s absolute unity.”
Karin wants the orchestra to widen the horizons of everyone who joins. When some parents weren’t able to
afford certain trips of the orchestra, Karin surprised everyone by organizing what she called “scholarships”, with the
school paying part of the money to students who had been positive and cooperative. They weren’t awarded on the
basis of who had a special gift for music.
In her office, Karin proudly displays a picture of another student. Karin says, “Thomas was smart, but he hated
school, and he seemed cut off from his peers, alone in a world of his own. The orchestra made him come out of his
shell.” After graduating, Thomas wrote to Karin, “I’m so grateful to you for allowing me to play the most beautiful
music in the world, even though I never took it up professionally. I understand now that music educates the mind and
the heart, and helps you to connect with others.”
39. What is Karin’s attitude to teaching music?
A. It is emotionally tiring. B. It is about controlling the class.
C. It requires careful preparation. D. It gives wonderful surprises.
40. What does Karin think of music lessons?
A. They serve the needs of problem students.
B. They are more beneficial for smart students.
C. They are more rewarding than people thought.
D. They mean a lot for students’ academic work.
41. Which of the following would Karin agree with?
A. Teamwork is important in music lessons.
B. It is not worth making efforts for prizes.
C. Teachers should not ignore social classes.
D. Gifted students should have more chances.
42. What point does the example of Thomas support about music education?

C. It presents new challenges. D. It reduces academic pressure.

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫 Karin 的老师，负责执教和指挥一个由青少年组成的管弦乐团，音乐
让这些年轻人们成长了很多，而作为一个集体，这里也没有那些世俗的评判标准，大家互相团结、共同进
步。Karin 老师以及她的音乐课带给了青少年积极的影响，改变了青少年对生活的态度。
【39 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中 Karin 的原话“Teaching is like surfing”和“You have no idea what’s going to happen
and there’s no guarantee that things will go according to plan.”可知，给青少年们教音乐对她来说是充满未知和
难以预料的，D 选项“这给她很多惊喜”符合文意。故选 D 项。
【40 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Karin believes music lessons may have unexpected benefits.”可知，Karin 认
为音乐课能带来意想不到的好处，这与 C 选项“它们比人们想的更具回报性”表达的含义是一致的。故选C
项。
【41 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后 Karin 的原话“What’s most important to me is that everyone works as a team,”和
“It’s a magic moment when there’s absolute unity.”可知，在Karin 看来，对于乐团中每一个成员来说，团队
合作是最重要的。由此判断出，Karin 应该会赞同音乐课上团队合作很重要。故选 A 项。
【42 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中对于 Thomas 的描述“Thomas was smart, but he hated school, and he seemed cut
off from his peers, alone in a world of his own. The orchestra made him come out of his shell.”可知，从前的
Thomas 讨厌学校，与周围世界隔绝，但通过参加乐团，他发生了改变，不只是心智变得成熟，同时也学会
了与别人建立联系，这正是一种态度上的转变。由此判断出托马斯的例子证实了音乐教育改变了一个人的
态度。故选 B 项。
D
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the
midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead,
we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though
most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to
the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences — called light pollution — whose effects
scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows
artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and
completely changes the light levels — and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have
adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect or life is affected. In most cities the sky
looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark.
We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night, — dark enough for the planet Venus
to throw shadow on Earth — is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among
mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many
species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being
“captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds
tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter
than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses.
Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness.
Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the
light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our
true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep
night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy-arching overhead.
43. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to ?
A. The moon. B. The night.
C. The sky. D. The planet.
44. The writer mentions birds and frogs to _________.
A. show how light pollution affects animals
B. provide examples of animal protection
C. compare the living habits of both species
D. explain why the number of certain species has declined
45. It is implied in the last paragraph that ___________.
A. human beings cannot go to the outer space
B. light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals
C. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
D. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
46. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Light. B. The Orange Haze.
C. The Rhythms of Nature. D. The Disappearing Night.
【答案】43. B 44. A 45. C 46. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。如今人类使夜晚充满了人造光线，使得夜晚不再黑暗，但这么做所造成的光污染的不
好影响是巨大的，到了考虑这么做的后果的时候了。
【43 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的 Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it
to receive us by filling it with light. 然而，这是解释我们对夜晚所做所为的唯一方式: 我们设计了光，让光充满
夜晚。此处 it 是代词，指代前面提到的事物，因此 it 指代 night“夜晚”。 故选 B。
【44 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的 The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being
“captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.这种效应是如此强烈，以
至于科学家们说，陆地上的探照灯或海洋石油平台上的气体照明弹发出的光，会“捕捉”到鸣禽和海鸟以及倒
数第三段 rogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a
million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,
including their nighttime breeding choruses.生活在灯火通明的高速公路附近的青蛙在夜间受到比平时
高出一百万倍的强光照射，几乎使它们的所有行为都失常了，包括它们在夜间繁殖时发出的叫声。由此判
断出作者提到鸟类和青蛙是为了来展示光污染对动物的影响，故选 A。
【45 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our
evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.（生活在自己制造的耀
眼光芒中，我们已经把自己与进化和文化遗产隔绝开来，与星星的光芒和昼夜的节奏隔绝开来）；以及 In a
very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being
（在一个非常真实的意义上，光污染使我们看不到我们在宇宙中真正的位置，忘记了我们存在的规模）等
语句可知作者认为光污染使得人们失去了很多。由此判断出，人类应该反思自己在宇宙中的地位。故选 C。
【46 题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，人类使夜晚充满了人造光线，使得夜晚不再黑暗，并且光污染对于动物和人
类产生了极大影响，选项 D. The Disappearing Night“消失的夜空”呼吁我们反思人类的行为为短文最佳标
题，故选 D。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the
world is a cold and difficult place. ____47____“They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are
around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is,
your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
___48___They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the
way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail.___49___ They
believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which
can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities yet their
experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and
even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which
inspire not only themselves, but all around them. ___50___
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a
special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even
a lifetime.____51____He may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a
powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to
transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
A. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter.
B. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.
C. One’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.
D. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.
E. Another with the same experience may choose to be a creator.
F. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.
G. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
【答案】47. F 48. D 49. A 50. G 51. E
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文，介绍了你看待生活的方式决定了你会成为受害者还是创造者。
【47 题详解】
空后说“他们”是错误的和不好的，此处与之并列，讲的还是“他们”对你的影响，F 项在句式上与下一句相一
致，故 F 项（“他们”对你所做的一切造成了你所有的痛苦）符合语境。
【48 题详解】
空后说他们知道有些人可能想控制他们的生活，但他们不让这妨碍他们；他们知道自己有弱点，但失败时
并不自责，这些都是那些想要成为创造者的人的做法，即：他们看待生活的方式与那些选择成为受害者的
人完全不同，故 D 项（那些选择成为创造者的人以完全不同的方式看待生活）符合语境。
【49 题详解】
,
空后说他们相信他们能在生命中的每一个神圣的时刻起舞是一份礼物，暴风雨是生命中自然的一部分，可
以带来情感和精神“成长”所需的雨水，这说明无论生活中发生了什么，他们都会选择以积极的态度看待生活
，故 A 项（不管发生什么，他们都可以选择自己看待生活的方式）符合语境。
【50 题详解】
空前说虽然受害者和创造者生活在同一个物质世界里，面对着许多相同的物质现实，然而他们的生活体验
却完全不同，受害者喜欢愤怒、内疚和其他情绪，这些情绪会让别人甚至自己也觉得自己是受害者；创造
者有意识地选择爱、鼓舞和其他不仅能激励自己，而且能激励周围的人的品质，此处总结上文，讲的是受
害者和创造者都可以选择自己的生活方向，故 G 项（无论是受害者还是创造者，都可以选择自己的生活方
向）符合语境。
【51 题详解】
空后说他可能会选择先经历悲伤，然后接受损失，并很快继续前进，在生活中形成一种强大的创造力，这
说明有同样经历的人也可能会选择成为创造者而不是受害者，故 E 项（另一个有同样经历的人也可能会选
择成为创造者）符合语境。

【答案】Dear Jim，
I’m glad to hear from you. From your email I have learned that you are preparing for the speech about wildlife
protection. I think you choose a good topic and I’d like to share what I know with you.
The number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are endangered and even dying
out. The reasons are as follows. To start with, people have been cutting down trees for building materials, causing
some animals to lose their habitats. Besides, to make money, some people have been killing rare wild animals. They
use wild animals like elephants, tigers, antelopes and bears to make handicrafts and medicine. Some wild animals
are even hunted and killed to satisfy people’s desire to taste new and novel flavor, such as shark fin soup and even
bat soup.
In my opinion, it’s time that we took immediate measures to change the situation. First, we should not cut down
trees without the government’s permission. Instead, we are supposed to plant more trees to protect the animals’
living conditions. At the same time, more nature reserves are expected to be set up. Last but not the least, laws to
protect wild animals should be made and the people who kill, sell and buy wild animals should be punished
seriously. I believe as long as we take action immediately, we will live in harmony with animals and life will
become better.
I hope what I said will be of help to you. If you have any questions, please write to me. I’m looking forward to
your reply．
Yours
Li Hua
