A 篇
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the T his Book Willl
series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing
and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s
battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss T runchbulll, are
equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping,
and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts
changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding
secrets.
Gone Girl
Gilll ian Fynn
T here was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on
the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. T here’s tension and anxiety from
the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the
frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.

B 篇
T here it was. A test of will power. I’m on a special diet with foods
carefullly selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value. A piece of cheese cake
is not an option. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake,
feel dissatisfied and take out my frustration on the annoyingly skinny physical
instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?
T he latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the
cheese cake, but I’d get an exercise session. And then it hit me: a delicate plan
to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese
cake and carefullly walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a
sma lll fork. I put on my exercise outfit and went downstairs.
T he appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would
run up and down the stairs and then back up again. My reward: one sma lll bite of
试卷第 2 页,总 12 页cheese cake. If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up
again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vanillla goodness without guilt. I wanted another
bite so I quickly sprinted through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly, it is harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my
tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.
Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese
cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn’t want
the cake any more. I wanted a lll this sweat and effort to do more than ca ncel the
calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine
but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to indulge in a former favorite,
I remembered my stairs trick.

A.A costly dilemma.

.A trick that worked. D.A
sweating experience.
C 篇
It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by a company named
Ha lllmark, but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout -out
to Mom for a long time. T he Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals
— although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their
underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition was Mothering
Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the
fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working
apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.
Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with
Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers' Work Days” to promote
health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War,
Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides,
and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing
together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother's
Day holiday.
Jarvis's work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In
1870 Howe published her “Mother's Day Proclamation”, which envisioned the day
not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women
to exercise their colllective power for peace. Howe started holding annual
Mother's Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade
she stopped footing the billl and the tradition faded away.
试卷第 4 页,总 12 页It was Jarvis's daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day
recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died, in May 1905, Anna
started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR
campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting
the support of John W anamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate
and advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had
adopted Mother's Day. T wo years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a
resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday.
It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to
celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the
1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been
instrumental in creating. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,”
she said.
8.T he first paragraph suggests that .
A.mothers didn't get enough appreciation
B.Mother's Day was invented by Ha lllmark
C.young people returned to their mothers' houses
D.Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother's Day
9.Who plays the most important role in creating Mother's Day?
A.Ann Jarvis. B.Julia Ward Howe. C
.Woodrow Wilson. D.Anna Jarvis.
10.Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother's Day at last?
A.Because it was an emotional day.
B.Because the festival was not profitable.
C.Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.
试卷第 5 页,总 12 页D.Because the day was buried under greeting cards and candy.
11.Which of the folllowing would be the best title for the passage?
A.T he Objection to Mother’s Day
B.T he Argument on Celebrating Mother's Day C.
T he Story Behind the Creation of Mother's Day D.
Different Form of Celebrations on Mother's Day
D 篇
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. T he microorganisms( 微
生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space
Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA
overcom ing this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids.
But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms,
like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at
Fairport High School in Fairport, New Y ork.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.
For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill
bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution( 解决方案). “We
don’t give the students any breaks. T hey have to do it just like NASA engineers,”
says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“T here are no tests,” Gordon says. “T here is no graded homework. T here
almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically,
it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to
NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very
nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on co lllege admissions
and practical life skills. “T hese kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit
back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are
试卷第 6 页,总 12 页emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable
solution to test in space.
12.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?
A.T hey are hard to get rid of. B.T hey lead to air polllution.
C.T hey appear in different forms. D.T hey damage the instruments.
13.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?
A.T o strengthen teacher-student relationships. B
.T o sharpen students’ communication skills. C.T
o a lllow students to experience zero gravity.
D.T o link space technology with school education.
14.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?
A.Check their product. B.Guide project designs. C
.Adjust work schedules. D.Grade their homework.
15.What is the best title for the text? A
.NASA: T he Home of Astronauts B.
Space: T he Final Homework Frontier C.
Nature: An Outdoor Classroom D.
HUNCH: A Colllege Admission Reform
七选五:
试卷第 7 页,总 12 页T he need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche( 灵魂).
16. According to psychologists, separateness means to be cut off, helpless
and alone in the world. It is the source of a lll anxiety.
17. It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham
Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means
love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D -
love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.
D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be
met. But B-love is unconditional. 18. Furthermore, as it depends upon who
you are, it is possible only when you a lllow yourself to be known to the other
person.
T he psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguis hed between two types of love.
19. Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs
and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.
Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that a lllows individuals to
retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love
people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves.
T he immature lover would say, “I love you because I need you,” but the mature
one: “ 20. ”
A.T hese two types are quite different from each other.
B.T here are two types of love. C
.I need you because I love you.
D.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling separateness .
E.Every one of us needs love.
F.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
试卷第 8 页,总 12 页G.T hey are immature love, ca llled by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature
love.

A 篇
I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness, but when it
came to actua llly putting the letter into the mailbox... I 21 ...I couldn’t do it. I
suddenly felt a sense of 22 and insecurity (不安).
T he letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in 23 on Facebook. For
months, I read about what she 24 on her Facebook page, which helped me to
live my life differently. Her volunteer (志愿者) work wasn’t huge. 25 , she was
doing sma lll, local good deeds. 26 , she changed my views on the world and for
some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example 27 influenced me.
I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not enough for such a n
important thank-you. T hat’s why I ended up 28 the letter. But now here I was,
standing before the mailbox, unable to put the envelope inside. What was stopping
me? It suddenly hit me that I was 29 of being too nice. I guess I felt strange
30 it wasn’t like she was my best friend or a relative. Maybe my 31 was too
heartfelt. T hinking this over, I put the envelope in the mailbox 32 .
Weeks later I received a message from her. It turned out she was 33 a
hard time and my note 34 a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was
playing such a big 35 in others’ life.
Not only did this letter make her happier, but her response to it brightened my
world and 36 my level of happiness as we lll. I was so 37 that it had such a
great influence on her that I decided to write a(n) 38 letter to someone each
month. Now it’s easier for me to 39 the goodness in others and be more 40
for this beautiful life I’m living.

本文是记叙文。作者非常在意食物的营养和热量值均衡,当面对并不是作者首选的美味的
奶酪蛋糕时,作者陷入了两难的境地。后来,她想到一个巧妙的计划,用奶酪蛋糕作为锻
炼的动力,通过反复的操作后,作者感觉奶酪蛋糕的诱惑没有开始那么大了,不想再吃蛋
糕了。现在,每当她想沉溺于以前的最爱,她就想起了这个微妙的计划。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的 A piece of cheese cake is not an option. So here was my
dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my frustration on the

【分析】
本文为记叙文。本文主要叙述了母亲节的来历。母亲节似乎是由 Hallmark 的创立的。但母
亲节与美国一名妇女安•贾维斯(Ann Jarvis)是分不开的。19 世纪 50 年代安·贾维斯(
Ann Jarvis)举办“母亲工作日”活动,以促进健康和卫生。1870 年,朱莉娅·沃德·豪受其影
响,发表了她的“母亲节宣言”,该宣言认为母亲节不是孩子对母亲的赞赏,而是妇女行使
集体力量争取和平的机会。1905 年 5 月,安娜在母亲去世后,开始每年举行周年纪念仪
式,并让这一天成为节日。1912 年,西弗吉尼亚州和其他几个州已经采用了母亲节。两
年后,伍德罗威尔逊总统签署了一项决议,宣布五月的第二个星期天为国定假日。
8.推理判断题。根据第一段“but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a
shout-out to Mom for a long time. The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals —
although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers
out to dinner.”虽然有母亲节,人们一直在日历上向母亲表达感谢。希腊人和罗马人也有母
亲节和女神节——但他们的庆祝活动没有涉及到男人带他们的不受重视的母亲出去吃饭。
由此可推断出,虽然有母亲节,但母亲们没有得到足够的感激和重视。分析选项可知 A 项
符合题意,故选 A。9.推理判断题。根据第二段,第四段“Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States
started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis ,a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers' Work Days”
to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. After her mother died, in
May 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless
PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of
John W anamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer, and by
1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother's Day. Two years later, President
Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday”,
在 19 世纪 50 年代美国的母亲工作日,并倡导推动母亲节。1905 年 5 月,安娜的母亲去
世后,她开始每年举行周年纪念仪式,并进行不懈的公关活动,让这一天成为节日。1908
年,她成功地获得了费城百货公司巨头和广告先锋约翰·W·阿纳梅克的支持,到 1912 年,
西弗吉尼亚和其他几个州都采用了母亲节。两年后,伍德罗·威尔逊总统签署了一项决议
,宣布 5 月的第二个星期天为国家假日。由此可知,安娜·贾维斯在母亲节的创 立方面起
了重要的作用。故 D 项符合题意,故选 D,
10.推理判断题。根据文章中“Ann Jarvis, ... held ‘Mothers' Work Days’ to promote health
and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace”举办“母亲工作日”活动,以促进家庭和工作
场所的健康和卫生 。“In 1870 Howe published her ‘Mother's Day Proclamation’, which
envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for
women to exercise their collective power for peace.”豪发表了她的“母亲节宣言”,该宣言认
为母亲节不是孩子对母亲的赞赏,而是妇女行使集体力量争取和平的机会。最后一段“It
wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried
under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning
against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. ‘I wanted it to be a day of
emotionalism, not profit,’ she said”.没过多久,这一天本该庆祝理想的东西被大量的贺卡和
糖果掩埋了。到了 20 世纪 20 年代,安娜·贾维斯(Anna Jarvis)发起了反对这个节日的运动
。她说:“我希望这一天充满感情的,而不是利益的。可知,现在的母亲节已与最初的母亲
节的精神相悖, C 正确,故选 C。
11.主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented...”是文章
的主题句,告诉我们母亲节是是如何创立,其中的 invent 与 C 项中的“Creation”的动词
create 是同义词。从第二段到最后叙述了 19 世纪 50 年代安•贾维斯(Ann Jarvis)举办“母
亲工作日”活动。1870 年,朱莉娅•沃德•豪受其影响,发表了 “母亲节宣言”。1905 年 5 月
,安娜在母亲去世后,开始每年举行周年纪念仪式,并让这一天成为节日。1912 年,西
弗吉尼亚州和其他几个州已经接纳了母亲节。两年后,伍德罗威尔逊总统签署了一项决议
,宣布五月的第二个星期天为国定假日。由此可推断出:本文主要叙述母亲节创立的背景
故事。分析选项可知 C 项符合题意,故选 C。【点睛】
选择标题在英语阅读理解中属于主旨大意题,是一种深层理解题。要求考生在通读全文的
基础上,认真分析文章大意及作者的写作意图。确定最佳标题的方法就是要找出文章的主
题句。
主题句通常在文章的首段,也可能在文章的末段,在文章的某一段落,或分散在文章
的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句,那么把各段落的主题句的中心集中起来,即为
全文的主题句。如第 4 小题属于主旨大意题中的选择最佳标题。本文的中心句在首段的第
一句“It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by...,”是文章的主题句。告诉我们母亲节
是是如何创立其中的 invent 对应 C 项中的“Creation”的动词 create。
找出主题句,抓住文章主线和关键词语,归纳文章中心。要注意不是所有的段落都有主题
句,有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章,就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析,概括
出段落的主题,从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是:先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面
的内容,这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系,然后加以归纳形成主题。第 4 小题从第二段至结
束叙述了 19 世纪 50 年代安•贾维斯(Ann Jarvis)举办“母亲工作日”活动,以促进健康和
卫生。1870 年,朱莉娅•沃德•豪受其影响,发表了 “母亲节宣言”。1905 年 5 月,安娜在
母亲去世后,开始每年举行周年纪念仪式,并让这一天成为节日。1912 年,西弗吉尼亚
州和其他几个州已经接纳了母亲节。两年后,伍德罗威尔逊总统签署了一项决议,宣布五
月的第二个星期天为国定假日。由此可推断出:本文主要说明母亲节创立的背景故事。分
析选项可知 C 项符合题意,故选 C。

本文为说明文。本文介绍了美国国家航空航天局的 HUNCH 计划。参与这个计划的高中生
制作供美国国家航空航天局使用的产品,此计划的目的是把航天技术与学校教育结合起来
,把空间技术与带进课堂,与学校教育相结合,这项计划实施结果显示会影响到学生的生
活和大学录取。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段中的 Bacteria are annoying problem for astronauts. The
microorganisms form our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space
Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.可知,细菌对宇航员来说是个
令人讨厌的问题。这种来自我们身体的微生物在国际空间站的表面不受控制地生长,宇航

and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”可知,
NASA 的工程师会亲自审核学生们所做的产品。故 A 项正确。

用的产品)探索无疆的太空,因此“太空:最后的功课疆域”最适合做文章的标题。故选 B
。
