M:Could you suggest some ways to bring family members closer together?
W:Well,I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together.One of my good
childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters.Because my husband and I both
work and our three children are busy with their studies,we seldom had a chance to get together as a
family.But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every
week.First,we tried setting three fixed dates:Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays.But almost
everyone was unhappy.Then my son had the idea that everyone told me his or her most convenient
days and I would choose the two best days.For a while,the children were still unhappy with the idea.They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports.Gradually they
began to see these evenings together as interesting and helpful.We loved a lot.We made plans for
trips.We discussed each other’s problems.After a couple of months ,anyone who had to miss a
family meal felt regretful and now we all feel that we have been able to build stronger relationships
within the family than we had before.

Compassion( 同 情 ) is a desire within us to help others.With effort , we can translate
compassion into action.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work parttime in a
supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and
it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to
teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register( 收 款 机 ) with a box of
biscuits.He said he was out of cash , had just moved into his room , and had nothing in his
cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next
day.
I couldn’t help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this
kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,but store rules didn’t allow
me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.If anything,he looked more
pitiable.“Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft and safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,
is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either.Then I
reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two
men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者通过一位老人买饼干而没钱付账的经历告诉我们
可以把同情的愿望转化为行动。
24.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits .
A.promised to obey the store rules
B.hoped to have the food first and pay later
C.forgot to take his credit card with him
D.could not afford anything more expensive
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his
room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He
promised to repay me the next day.”可知,结账时这个老人说自己没有钱了,问我他可不可以
先把饼干拿走,第二天再把钱送来,故 B 项正确。
25.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A.Kind and lucky. B.Friendly and helpful.
C.Poor and lonely. D.Hurt and disappointed.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段老人身上连买饼干的钱都没有及第二段中的“all alone in the
world”可知,他又穷又孤独,故 C 项正确。
26.Why did the author refuse the old gentleman’s request first?
A.He considered the old man dishonest.
B.He felt no pity for the old gentleman.
C.He wanted to keep his present job.
D.He expected someone else to pay for the old man.
答案 C解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...but store rules didn’t allow me to do so.I felt stupid and
unkind saying this,but I valued my job.”可知,商店的规定不允许先拿货后付钱,作者想保住
这份工作,所以不敢违反规定,故 C 项正确。
27.What lesson did the author learn from this experience?
A.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
B.Wealth is the most important in older age.
C.Experience is better gained through practice.
D.Compassion means helping in some way.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Compassion(同情) is a desire within us to help others.With
effort,we can translate compassion into action.”可知,同情是我们内心帮助别人的愿望,通过
努力,我们可以把它转化为行动,也就是说作者从这个经历中学到了同情意味着以某种方式
帮助别人,故 D 项正确。
C
Pinewood Studios is located( 位 于 ) about twenty miles west of central London and named
after the pinetrees in the grounds.Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international
film production.The house,Heatherden Hall,was bought by Charles Boot in 1934,and he and
J.Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios.Pinewood proved pioneering in
its use of the “unit system” that allowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this
enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world.The first film to be
completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936,Reed) while the immediate postwar period
saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist (1948,Lean) and The Red Shoes
(1948,Powell and Pressburger).
The 1950s saw countless productions including the Doctor series and medical comedy,which
were the fathers to the Carry On films:the series started with Doctor in the House (1954,Thomas)
and led to a further six films.Other notable films of the 1950s include The Prince and the Showgirl
(1957,Oliver) starring Marilyn Monroe,Carve Her Name with Pride (1958,Gilbert),North West
Frontier (1959,Thompson) and The ThirtyNine Steps (1959,Thomas).The ThirtyNine Steps was
a reworking of John Buchan’s novel originally filmed by Hitchcock in 1935.Because of its new
ideas and skills , American production companies crowded to Pinewood and a major
reinvestment(再投资) was required.During the 1960s,four new stages were built to accommodate
every aspect of film and television production.This period also saw the start of the association
between Pinewood and the James Bond series,which started in 1962 with Dr No (Young).The
studios have continued to produce imaginative and technically challenging material such as
Superman (1978,Donner),Superman Ⅱ (1980,Lester),Superman Ⅲ (1983,Lester),Superman Ⅳ:The Quest for Peace (1987,Furie),and Batman (1989,Burton).

Mobile phone users in China expected a pleasant surprise this month.Starting from October 1,
a new policy adopted by the three giant cellphone operators—China Mobile,China Telecom and
China Unicom—has allowed unused data from individual data packages to be carried over to the
next month for use.
At the beginning,users of the three telecommunication companies welcomed this policy,since
they would have more free data to use in the next month.However,even before Chinese users could
enjoy the free extra package,the users found that since the adoption of the policy,the original data
limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up,which means there wouldn’t be any unused data
left for the next month.One user of China Unicom claimed that it took him only nine days to use up
the data package of a month.
Telecoms have become a necessity in modern life like water or power,and raising or lowering
costs significantly affects people’s lives and finances.But disagreements between consumers and
service providers cover discussion.It is too early to judge how long the disagreement between
telecommunication companies and consumers over data packages will last,since,according to
media reports , the measurement of data usage is difficult to track.Companies are using “user
privacy” to avoid giving out any information.
But reading through the companies posted online by cellphone users , we can sense the
public’s distrust of Statedowned Enterprises(SOEs).A survey done by the People’s Tribune
Research Center in 2012 found that the public’s negative impression of SOEs came from the
belief that they only rely on government support and their employees usually do easy jobs but get
higher pay,yet their sense of service is far behind private and foreign enterprises.
The current argument over the data package of three stateowned telecommunication giants
reflects the extent of public anger.Among the country’s anticorruption campaign(反腐败运动)
and reforms,it shows the public’s enthusiasm for deepening reforms and making SOEs benefit
domestic consumers.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。中国三大手机运营商——中国移动、中国电信和中国联
通——采取了一项新政策,允许个人数据包中未使用的数据结转到下个月使用。目前围绕
三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中,它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者的热情。
32.The attitude of the users towards the new policy of the three telecommunication companies at
the beginning can be best described as .
A.indifferent B.opposed
C.positive D.disappointed
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“At the beginning,users of the three telecommunication
companies welcomed this policy,since they would have more free data to use in the next month.”
可知,用户对这三家电信公司的新政策在开始时的态度可以说是积极的。故选 C。
33.What is the result of the new policy adopted by the three telecommunication companies?
A.Chinese phone users are allowed to send their unused data to their friends.
B.Chinese phone users are presented with much cheaper individual data packages.
C.Chinese phone users have no need to buy individual data packages.
D.Chinese phone users consume the data much sooner than expected.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However,even before Chinese users could enjoy the free
extra package,the users found that since the adoption of the policy,the original data limits seem to
be far more easily swallowed up,which means there wouldn’t be any unused data left for the next
month.”可知,这三家电信公司采取的新政策的结果是“中国手机用户使用这些数据的速度
远远快于预期。”故选 D。
34.Which of the following is NOT the public’s impression of SOEs?
A.SOEs are supported by the government to a large extent.
B.SOEs have benefited domestic consumers effectively.
C.SOEs’ employees don’t deserve the high pay.
D.SOEs’ service is worse than private and foreign enterprises.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A survey done by the People’s Tribune Research Center
in 2012 found that the public’s negative impression of SOEs came from the belief that they only
rely on government support and their employees usually do easy jobs but get higher pay,yet their
sense of service is far behind private and foreign enterprises.”可知,A、C、D 三项是公众对国
企的印象,B 项文中未提及。故选 B。
35.The last paragraph most probably implies that .
A.the public are not satisfied with the reforms at presentB.the public do not care about the country’s reforms
C.the public think highly of anticorruption campaign
D.the public are confident about the reform of SOEs
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知,目前围绕三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公
众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中,它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国
内消费者的热情。由此推知,最后一段很可能暗示公众对目前的改革不满意。故选 A。

How to Overcome Shyness
Have you ever found it embarrassing to talk in front of the public? In fact,a great number of
people are struggling with shyness. 36
·Act confidently.
Confidence comes through action,learning,practice,and mastery.Remember when you
learned how to ride a bike? It was terrifying at first,but after you just went for it and tried it,you
got it,and felt confident.Social confidence works the same way. 37 Remove avoidance and you
will overcome your anxiety.
·Engage yourself.
This means participating in small talk in the checkout line and talking to strangers at bars,
stores,sporting events,and the gym.Additionally,approach the individuals by whom you are
attracted romantically.Talk to them.Ask them to dance.Ask them out on dates.
Life is short.Who cares if you get rejected? There are seven billion people on this
planet.You’re not expected to like or be liked by all of them. 38
· 39
Join a club,a sports team or an outdoor activity.Pick up a new project or learn a new skill.Do
something to get out of your comfort zone.Part of overcoming shyness is about developing
confidence in several areas of your life and not letting anxiety,fear of failure,fear of rejection,or
fear of humiliation get in your way.By practicing new activities,you are confronting your fear of
the unknown and learning to handle that anxiety more effectively.
·Talk it out.
40 Be more talkative and expressive in all areas of your life.Whether you’re at work,with
friends,with strangers,or walking down the street,you can practice talking more openly.Let your
voice and your ideas be heard.
A.Get out more often.B.Try new things.
C.Shyness can be a characteristic of people who have low selfesteem.
D.Fortunately,there are some effective strategies to overcome shyness.
E.Start practicing giving speeches and telling stories at every opportunity.
F.Take some chances and put yourself out there to meet new people.
G.Feeling anxious is not the problem; avoiding social interactions is the problem.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。你是否曾经觉得在公众面前讲话很尴尬?文章介绍“如
何克服害羞”的方法。
36.答案 D
解析 上文提到“事实上,很多人都在与害羞作斗争。”下文介绍了几种克服害羞的方法,
故 D 项(幸运的是,有一些有效的策略可以克服害羞。)承上启下,符合语境。

解析 根据空后句“消除逃避,你就能克服焦虑。”可知 G 项(焦虑不是问题所在;避免社
交才是问题所在。)符合语境。该项中的 anxious 和 avoiding 与下文中的 anxiety 和 avoidance
相吻合。
38.答案 F
解析 根据空前句“你不可能期望喜欢所有人或被所有人喜欢。”可知 F 项(抓住机会去结识
新朋友。)切题。故选 F。
39.答案 B
解析 此空是小标题,应该用短小精悍的祈使句,在 A/B 中选择。下文提示“参加俱乐部、
运动队或户外活动。开始一个新项目或学习一项新技能。”由此可知,B 项(尝试新事物)符
合语境。故选 B。

故选 E。

Happy Maggie
During my childhood I experienced greater hardships than most people go through in a
lifetime.In my short 17 years of life,I have been 41 five divorces of my parents.Having a new

a huge pressure on the family.By age 13,I was 45 and emotionally scarred.I felt like I had no

life changed.
For many summers,I 47 at a horseriding camp for people with special needs.We taught
children and adults specialized skills 48 their abilities.For example,we would teach a child with

volunteer was 50 a specific child during eight weeks.A few weeks later,I was asked to 51
another volunteer who was sick.That was the day my 52 on life changed forever.
As I began to work with her,I looked through her file to get more information,which was
53 .She had been physically abused as a newborn and throughout her infancy.Her birth parents
54 her so badly that they caused her a serious brain injury by the age of two.Her skull had been

答案

第一处:考查形容词。形容词 American(美国的)作定语修饰名词 students。故将 America 改为
American。
第二处:考查形容词。形容词 pleased(高兴的);形容词 pleasing/pleasant(令人高兴的)修饰名
词 feeling(情感)。故将 pleased 改为 pleasing/pleasant。
第三处:考查动名词。介词 after 后接名词或动名词,所以要用动名词的被动语态形式(being done)作宾语,故在 after 之后加 being。
第四处:考查动名词。固定结构:see sb.doing sth.(看到某人正在做某事),故将 passed 改为
passing。
第五处:考查代词。定语从句中关系代词 that 已经作了介词 in 的宾语,故删除 take part in 后
面的 it。
第六处:考查代词。宾语从句中用 what 作动词 say 的宾语,而 that 不作任何成份。故将 that
改为 what。
第七处:考查介词。固定短语:be fluent in 会说流利的……。故将 with 改为 in。
第八处:考查副词。副词 well 作状语,修饰谓语动词,故将 good 改为 well。
第九处:考查代词。根据句意“但我相信没有他/他们的帮助,赢得冠军还得费点力。”故将 our
改为 their/his。
第十处:考查冠词。此处用 an 表示“一份”修饰可数名词 effort(努力),故将 the 改为 an。
