阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
My name is Chelsea Chowderhead. A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.
“You shouldn't change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you're really interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they don't judge(评价)you.”
Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dad's advice, so I decided to try.
I noticed that their lunch boxes were identical. “What's it like being a twin?” I asked.
They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”
“Most of the time it's good,” the other said. “When you're a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”
In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I'm Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What's your name?”
I took a deep breath and said, “I'm Chelsea Chowderhead.”
“Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel.
“Yes,” I replied, looking down.
“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded.
And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.
1.Why did the writer want to change his name?
A.People made fun of it.
B.He wanted to make more friends.
C.It was hard to remember.
D.He wanted to be cool in the new school.
2.The writer's father advised him to ________.
A.move to a new class B.say hello to others
C.share his interests D.ask good questions
3.The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A.same B.beautiful
C.big D.full
4.When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt _______.
A.surprised B.angry
C.nervous D.proud
答案:[解题导语] 本文是记叙文。Chelsea Chowderhead曾因自己的姓名而受到同学们的嘲笑,所以在转学后他想改名字。父亲没有同意但是给他提了个好建议。他按照父亲的建议去做,在开学第一天就与一对双胞胎兄弟结为好友。
1.A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name可知,因为自己的姓和一种汤的名称一样,以前的同学总笑话他,所以在转学后,他想改名字。
2.D 解析:细节理解题。根据父亲所说的话When you meet someone new,ask them a good question,something you're really interested in可知。
3.A 解析:猜测词义题。根据本词后作者的问题及常识可以推断,一般双胞胎用的东西都是一样的。
4.C 解析:推理判断题。根据I took a deep breath及looking down可知,名字是作者的心病,当双胞胎兄弟问他叫什么名字时,他怕又遭到嘲笑,所以很紧张。
B
I'm Grace,13 years old and in seventh grade in Florida.This school year has been normal.However,my family and I spent my sixthgrade year driving all over Europe,seeing amazing places,meeting all kinds of people,and getting closer as a family in the process.
When my family decided to move to Europe,we were excited.But we had a problem.We couldn't find a vehicle that had enough space to work for our fivemember family,so my dad decided he'd just make one.No matter where we were,our new home took some getting used to(花时间适应).I had to leave a lot of my stuff behind because so little of it would fit into my tiny new room.We had to be careful to save our water.And we were doing homeschool,which worked out great.
No matter what,I made sure to look out my window every morning,because the view was different every day—England,then France,Italy,Greece...each special
in its own way.In country after country,we toured around and tried to pick up little bits of the local language,but that didn't help us much.Luckily we kept finding people who knew some English.Everywhere we went,we saw the most amazing things.I love reading about places in my textbooks and then getting out of our vehicle to look right at them.I can't pick a favorite spot,because whichever one we were at seemed to be the best at the time.
After our trip ended,we moved to Florida.But it makes me happy that my family had this great yearlong experience together. I'm thankful for that.
5.Compared with the seventhgrade school year,Grace's sixthgrade year was________.
A.normal B.painful
C.unusual D.successful
6.Grace had to throw away many of her things because _____.
A.her parents didn't allow her to keep them
B.there was not enough room to keep them
C.she had other similar things
D.they were out of style
7.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Grace likes Italy very much.
B.Grace prefers travelling to reading.

D.Grace enjoyed the experience with her family.
8.What would be the best title for the text?

C.My new moving home
D.My life on the road
答案:[解题导语] 本文是记叙文。Grace和家人用一年的时间在欧洲旅游。这一年的生活让她受益匪浅、乐在其中。
5.C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,与七年级的正常学校生活相比,Grace的六年级生活非比寻常,因为这一年她和家人在欧洲旅行。根据第二段的最后一句也可知Grace自学式的六年级生活很棒。
6.B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“I had to leave a lot of my stuff behind because so little of it would fit into my tiny new
room.”可知,我们的房车太小,不得不扔掉很多东西。
7.D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But it makes me happy that my family had this great yearlong experience together.I'm thankful for that.”可知,Grace十分享受跟家人一起旅行的时光。
8.D 解析:标题归纳题。Grace和家人用一年的时间在欧洲旅游,途经英国、法国、意大利、希腊等国家。这一年的生活让她受益匪浅、乐在其中。因此D项My life on the road更能体现出本文的主旨大意。

In America,when the eighth graders leave the middle school,they are often worried about moving to the high school.It is a hard time for them,but it can be an exciting one as well.To make it easier,students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they've done this already in the middle school,it's still important to find where their classrooms are.Most schools take students to the high school
for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.And,most schools also have a freshman (新生)speech for parents and students before the first year begins.Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school.This can help students and parents find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport.Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports.Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school.If you are not interested in sports,there are clubs for any interest,such as drama,dance,chess,photography,community service,etc..These clubs allow students from different grades.By joining an activity,students can find new friendships,not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请).The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What's more,to have a great start to a high school year,students can write down some of their worries,and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
13.Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?
A.There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.
B.The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.
C.Summer activities begin before school starts.
D.School officers can help new students join school clubs.
14.When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?
A.Before the eighth grade year starts.
B.Right after the high school year starts.
C.At the beginning of the new term in high school.
D.At the end of their eighth grade year.
15.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To tell the new students how to learn in high school.
B.To introduce new schools.
C.To give the teachers some advice.
D.To give advice to new high school students.
答案:[解题导语] 本文主要是为高一新生了解他们的新学校、降低他们的紧张感而提出的一些建议。
13.D 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“ Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports.”可知D项正确。
14.D 解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.”我们可以知道大部分学校在学生八年级下学期时会带着学生们参观他们的新高中。
15.D 解析:写作意图题。作者写这篇文章的目的是想给高一新生一些消除紧张、适应新学校的建议。

23.D 解析:考查时态。句意:当我在谈论我是怎样学习英语时,那个外国人似乎有点吃惊。根据句意可知,应该用进行时,故答案选D。
24.C 解析:根据后面的摇头耸肩可知,那个外国人是有点吃惊,而不是理解,再根据surprised修饰人,surprising修饰物,可知答案选C。
25.B 解析:考查固定搭配。had better最好……,故答案选B。

37.A 解析:下文是老外解释的内容,故答案选A。
38.B 解析:句意:它是惊讶的一种表达方式。expression表达,故答案选B。experience经历;explanation解释;example例子。

Dear_Li_Lei,
Sorry to hear that you made little progress in your English reading comprehension.I think you haven't mastered the skills of reading and need more practice.Here are my suggestions.
First,keep reading and try to read as much as possible.Practice makes perfect.Second,use the reading skills of skimming and scanning while reading.Use skimming to quickly gather the most important information and scanning to find the specific details you require.What's more,I think you can read some English newspapers and magazines to broaden your horizons and enrich your vocabulary.
Hope my advice can be of some help to you!
Yours_sincerely,
Mr.Helper
