The beloved childrens author Tomie depaola who was born in Connecticut on September15, 1934 and whose
imaginative and warm-hearted works crossed generations and continents died Monday at age 85. His death was
announced, without details, on social media by his assistant. Bob Hechtel.
Depaola’s works covered many areas of his imagination, from a magical tale centered on a kind and caring
Calabrian grandmother--strega Nona, which won the Caldecott Honor Award in 1976--to retelling the inspiring
Comanche story of The Legend of the Bluebonnet. In 2000 he won a Newbery Honor for his book 26 Fairmount
Avenue, which described his early childhood. Quiet, published in 1980s, is one of his bestselling books. By dePaola’s
own count, he worked on some 270 books--the first in 1965, and the most recent published last year.
In 2011, he won a lifetime prize, the Children’s Literature Legacy Award, which praised his “considerable and
lasting contribution to literature for children.” In all, nearly 25 million copies of his books have been sold around the
world.
Along with his work as an author, dePaola taught art and theater at various colleges in California, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire. For many years, he made his home in New London. N H.
In 1998, dePaola told a radio reporter that he hoped to recognize children for all their natural abilities. “As a
grown-up,” he said, “I want to give children the credit for everything I can: their courage, their humor, their love,
their intellectual abilities, their abilities to be fair, their abilities to be unfair. But I do wish that we grown-ups would
give children lots of credit for these temporary kinds of qualities that they have.”
4. Which of the following best describes all dePaola’s works?
A. Inspiring. B. Magic.
C. Adventurous. D. Imaginative
5. Which of the following books reflects dePaola’s own life?
A. Quiet. B. Strega Nona.
,C. 26 Fairmount Avenue. D. The Legend of the Bluebonnet.
6. What did dePaola think children needed?
A. Adults approval. B. Various abilities.
C. Major improvement. D. Superior qualities.
7. What’s the purpose of writing the text?
A. To announce bad news. B. To praise a great artist.
C. To introduce some books. D. To mourn a distinguished man.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D

The universe is expanding faster than it used to, meaning it’s about a billion years younger than we thought, a
new study by a Nobel Prize winner says.
At issue is a number called the Hubble constant, a calculation for how fast the universe is expanding. Some
scientists call it the most important number in cosmology, the study of the origin and development of the universe.
Using NASAS Hubble Space Telescope, lohns Hopkings University astronomer Adam Riess concluded in this
week’s Astrophysical Journal that the figure is 9% higher than the previous calculation, which was based on studying
leftovers from the Big Bang.
The trouble is， Riess and others think both calculations are correct. Confused? That’s OK, so are the experts.
They find the conflict so confusing that they are talking about coming up with “new physics”, incorporating (合作)
perhaps some yet-to-be-discovered particle or other cosmic (宇宙) “fudge factors” like dark energy or dark matter
“Its looking more and more like were going to need something new to explain this,” said Reiss, who won the
2011 Nobel in physics.
NASA astrophysicist John Mather, another Nobel winner, said this leaves two obvious options, “1. We’re
making mistakes we can’t find yet. 2. Nature has something we can’t find yet.”
Even with the discovery, life continues on Earth the way it always has. But to astrophysicists trying to get a
handle on our place in this expanding universe, this is a cosmic concern. In fact, the universe is really mystical (神秘
的). Scientists have done lots of study about it but there is still much they haven’t discovered.
8. What is the finding of the new study?
A. The earth is younger than expected.
B. Many universal problems are rising.
C. The universe is growing faster than before.
D. The finding is based on past scientists’ calculations.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. The Hubble constant. B. The faster expanding universe.
C. The development of the universe. D. The scientific research on the universe.
10. How do the experts respond to the conflict of the finding in Paragraph 4?
A. They want to raise a new theory.
B. They want to explore dark matter.
C. They want to further calculate the finding.D. They want to mix together both calculations.
11. What can we infer from John Mather’s words?
A. We cannot find anything useful.
B. Astronomers are making many mistakes.
C. We need to learn about the universe.
D. We cannot find something new from nature.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现宇宙比我们想象的要年轻 10 亿年。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The universe is expanding faster than it used to, meaning it’s about a billion years
younger than we thought, a new study by a Nobel Prize winner says.”可知，一位诺贝尔奖得主的一项新研究称
，宇宙比过去膨胀得更快，这意味着它比我们想象的要年轻 10 亿年，故 A 项正确。
【9 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前的“At issue is a number called the Hubble constant, a calculation for how
fast the universe is expanding.”可知，争论的焦点是一个被称为哈勃常数的数字，它是用来计算宇宙膨
胀速度的，因此此处是说一些科学家把哈勃常数称为宇宙学中最重要的数字，由此可知 it 指代的就是前面
提到的“哈勃常数”，故 A 项正确。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They find the conflict so confusing that they are talking about coming up with
“new physics””可知，他们发现这种冲突是如此令人困惑，以至于他们正在讨论“新物理学”理论（想提
出一种新理论），故 A 项正确。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“NASA astrophysicist John Mather, another Nobel winner, said this leaves two
obvious options, “1. We’re making mistakes we can’t find yet. 2. Nature has something we can’t find yet.””可知，
另一位诺贝尔奖得主、美国宇航局天体物理学家约翰·马瑟说，这留下了两个明显的选择。一是我们正在
犯我们还没发现的错误；二是大自然有我们还没有发现的东西，约翰·马瑟的话表明了我们对宇宙的了解
还不够，需要进一步了解宇宙，故 C 项正确。D
Teens and preteens who start the school day really early tend to weigh slightly more than those who start later.
That’s the finding of a new study of nearly 30, 000 Canadians between the ages of 10 and 18. These data are the latest
evidence that starting school too early can harm health.
“We know from earlier studies that when school starts too early, kids can’t get the sleep they need,” says
Genevieve Gariepy. She works at Mcgill University in Montreal, Canada. Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk
for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are more likely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to
struggle in school. They also are at higher risk of feeling depressed, using alcohol or drugs and getting in car
accidents.
As an epidemiologist (流行病学家), Gariepy is interested in patterns of disease. She studies teen obesity，or
extreme overweight. In this study，she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be linked to weight.
“Overweight and obesity in adolescents is a big problem in North America,” she says. The number of
overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. About one in three U. S. and Canadian teens are now overweight or
obese. Kids who don’t sleep enough may be at higher risk. So Gariepy decided to find more about the impact of
school start times.
Her team collected start times of 362 Canadian schools and found that among “6 to 10” graders, those who
started school earlier tended to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was
linked, on average, to a slightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. But it’s not
clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want
to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the main topic.
B. To show concern for teenagers
C. To show the importance of the study.
D. To offer advice on school starting time.
13. What does Gariepy want to find out in her research?
A. How to rid adolescents of being overweight.
B. The links between school start times and teen obesity.
C. Why more and more students are becoming obese.
D The most suitable sleep time for school students..14. What can we infer about the study of Gariepy and her team?
A. A 10-minute delay is enough. B. Schools may value its conclusion.
C. Its conclusion is reliable. D. More work remains to be done
15. What can be a suitable title of this text?
A. Experts Worry about the Health of Adolescents.
B. Overweight Becomes Common among teenagers.
C. Study Links Weight to School Starting Time.
D. Students Tend to Sleep Less Than Before.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述上学时间过早可能会危害学生健康，可能会对学生体重有影响。
【12 题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文可知，第一段最后一句“These data are the latest evidence that starting school too early can
harm health.”表示的是这些数据是最新的证据，表明上学时间过早可能会危害健康。第三段的最后一句“In
this study，she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be linked to weight.”表示的是在这个研究里
，她想要知道上学时间过早是怎样和体重有关系的。第四段的最后一句“So Gariepy decided to find more about
the impact of school start times.”表达的是所以 Gariepy 决定找到更多的上学时间过早的影响。由此可见，文
章之后的内容都是围绕第一段介绍的“上学过早可能会影响到健康和体重”这个话题具体展开说明，第一
段是起到了介绍本文主要话题的功能。结合选项可知，选项 A 正确。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句“In this study，she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be
linked to weight.”可知，在这个研究里，她想要知道上学时间过早是怎样和体重有关系的。由此可见，Gariepy
想要在她的研究里发现上学时间和青少年肥胖之间的联系。结合选项可知，选项 B 正确。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句“To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before
and after changing to a later school start time.”可知，为了确定这一点，研究人员会比较同一个孩子在改到晚一
点开学时间之前和之后的情况。由此判断出，Gariepy 和她的团队的研究还有更多的工作将要去完成。结合
选项可知，选项 D 正确。
【15 题详解】主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，第一段第一句“Teens and preteens who start the school day really early tend to
weigh slightly more than those who start later.”表示的是早上学的青少年和儿童比那些晚上学的体重稍微更重。
第三段最后一句“In this study，she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be linked to weight.”表示
的是在这个研究里，她想要知道上学时间过早是怎样和体重有关系的。最后一段倒数第二句“But it’s not clear
that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight.”表示的是但是改变上学时间会帮助更重的
孩子减重，这个是不清楚的。由此可见，全文主要是在讲述体重和上学时间之间关系。所以短文的最佳标
题为“体重与上学时间有关的研究”为短文最佳标题，选项 C 正确。

复现。故选 G 项。
【17 题详解】
此题是代词指代和逻辑线索。此段是说明精神周的目的。选项 F 意为：这也是确认在那个赛季中参加比赛
的运动队时候。选项 F 也是说明精神周的目的之一，其中 it 指代 Spirit Week，also 表示递进关系。故选 F
项。
【18 题详解】

【点睛】七选五做题技巧
1. 略读文章抓大意
即以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句，以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语，
如 however, but 等词后的内容，以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。
如此篇文章可以跳跃式地浏览文章，会发现每一小段的首句就是该小段的主题句。第一段是主题是“学校举行精神周”，第二段主题是“精神周的目的”，第三段主题是“精神周的活动”。
2. 重点阅读上下句
因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺，解题时大多只看上句，或只看下句，就可基本确
定答案。
如第 3 小题，空前一句谈论的是“学生通过穿识别性的服装表示对学校的支持”，空后一句谈论“学生一周每
天穿的不同的衣服”。选项 C 是承上启下，从而推断出选项。
3. 词语复现显神功
上下文与主题相关的词语通常会以原词、同义词、近义词、同根词或同范畴词等形式在上下文中重复出现。
如第 1 小题此题线索是词汇复现。空后一句中的 primary goal 和选项 G 中的 main purpose 是同义词复现，从
而确定选项。
值得注意的是，有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一
定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。是否为正确答案，还
得将含复现词的选项代入原文，看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接，只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。
4. 代词、逻辑亦管用
七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接，而代词和逻辑是语篇衔接的重要手段之一，故解题中要善于利用这些
衔接手段。
如第 2 小题，选项 F 中，it 指代 Spirit Week，also 表示递进关系。代词指代和逻辑可以帮助确定选项。

conservatories (音乐学院) and studios.”可知，我的女儿在音乐学院学习，所以 majoring in 正好与其相呼应，
表示主修…..，并且为固定搭配。故选 C。

考查副词词义辨析。句意：她很有礼貌地听了她对自己的失败和经济损失的预测。A. rudely 粗鲁地；B. politely
礼貌地；C. impatiently 没有耐心地；D. carefully 认真地。由上文的 “My daughter answered and got the usual
response, not contrary to her expectations.”可知，我的女儿跟邻居讲了她的专业得到的回应并没有出乎她的意
料，也就是和其他人一样的反应（不赞同她的选择），邻居觉得女儿做的选择不正确，但是后文女儿的回
答 “if opera doesn’t success, I’ll do something else.”可见，女儿还是非常礼貌地跟邻居交流，由此可以推断出，
女儿在听邻居对她职业前途的预测时候是礼貌地聆听。故选 B。

且可做动词，故选 C。
【32 题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：我为我的女儿感到骄傲。A. neighbor 邻居；B. mother 母亲；C. teacher 老师；
D. daughter 女儿。根据上文 “She’s already earned her way into the world’s best conservatories (音乐学院) and
studios.”可知，我的女儿自己努力考上音乐学院并做她喜欢做的事情，和后文 “if opera doesn’t work out I’ll do
something else.”可知，歌剧这行不行，她再转行，由此可以推断出我为我的女儿敢于坚持自己的梦想而骄傲
，故选 D。【33 题详解】

第二节（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分）。
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment ____36____ (contain ) ice and snow. But new research

(沉淀物) gathered by researchers ____38____ under the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica.
In the sediment, they ____39____ (find) forest soil estimated to be about 90 million years old and this would

was the lead writer of a study on the findings ____41____ (publish) in the journal Nature, said the sediment collection
was from ____42____ depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the
material formed on land, not in the ocean.
The Earth has experienced in the past and is ____43____ (current ) undergoing today. The researchers said that
the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising, because each year the area ____44____
(experience) a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were
present during the time, but _____45_____ (season) snowfall was likely.
【答案】36. containing
37. which 38. from 39. found 40. animals
41. published
42. a 43. currently
44. experiences
45. seasonal
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。研究人员从南极洲海岸附近的海底收集的一块泥土沉积物中发现：这些沉积物是在陆地上
形成的，而不是在海洋中。
【36 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词，此处用非谓语。主语 Antarctica 和动词 contain
是主动关系，用现在分词形式作定语，故填 containing。
【37 题详解】
考查定语从句。句中包含非限制性定语从句，先行词是 evidence，在定语从句中做主语，只能用关系代词
which 引导，故填 which。
【38 题详解】
考查介词。句意：但新的研究提供了证据，证明这片区域与过去大不相同，它是在研究人员从南极洲海岸
附近的海底收集的一块泥土沉积物中发现的。表示“从，来自”，故填 from。
【39 题详解】
考查动词时态。此处讲述通过研究泥土沉积物的发现，是过去发生的事。与上下文时态一致，用一般过去
时。故填 found。
【40 题详解】
考查名词复数。animal 是单数可数名词，与主语和系动词 dinosaurs were 一致用复数，故填 animals。
【41 题详解】
考查过去分词。句中 findings 和动词 publish 是被动关系应该用过去分词，指这些发现被出版，故填 published
。
【42 题详解】考查冠词。此处指收集的沉积物来自海床下大约 30 米的深度，a depth of“……的深度”，故填 a。
【43 题详解】
考查副词。修饰动词 undergoing 用副词，故填 currently。
【44 题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据句中时间状语 each year 可知用一般现在时，主语 the area 表示单数意义，谓
语动词与之一致用第三人称单数，故填 experiences。
【45 题详解】
考查形容词。此处表示季节性降雪，修饰名词 snowfall 用形容词，故填 seasonal。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作 成分。先
行词往往为名词或代词，如小题 2 中包含非限制性定语从句，先行词是 evidence，在定语从句中做主语，只
能用关系代词 which 引导。

左右。
I peered over my grandma’s shoulder as she sewed pieces of cloth together. The two pieces became one faster
than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the
patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree.
“Grandma， that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s
not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a
cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky
as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.”
Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove
downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同)
and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma
took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light.
Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to
stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.”
The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and
missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with
each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled.
“Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness.
Paragraph 1:
“I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma.

Paragraph 2:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1: “I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma. After a while, a beam of light appeared
and a lady walked out of the darkness. Grandma opened the shopping bag and pulled out the multicolored quilt.
“That’s pretty and it looks warm,” the lady exclaimed and took the quilt, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude. As we
walked back down the alley, I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady holding the quilt tightly to her face. “You’re
right, Grandma. That is a beautiful quilt.” On our ride back home, the lady’s grateful words were still ringing in my ears.
Para 2: Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard. I asked Grandma curiously, Grandma,
why is there a quilt here? After a moment of silence, Grandma began to share her own story. On a freezing night
decades ago, as a poor young woman sleeping in the same alley, Grandma was offered a quilt, which warmed her up.
She was determined to pass the love forward. That’s why Grandma sewed the old clothes together and made quilts for
those in need. After hearing the story, I gave Grandma the biggest hug ever. I thought of all the clothes I didn’t want
to wear anymore and knew what Grandma and I would do the next morning.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达属于读后续写，要求考生续写两段内容使之与已给出的材料构成一篇完整的短文。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者看到奶奶缝制了一条带有各种补丁的被
子，认为这条被子非常的丑陋。但是，奶奶却说被子的美不在于它的外表，而在于这条被子是用爱缝制的。
之后，奶奶和作者一起来到城里破旧而又寒冷的街道。作者很害怕，这时，从胡同里传来了声音。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：奶奶说：我有一条暖和的被子，如果你想要的话。所以接下来应该写
刚才说话的人从胡同里走出来，奶奶把被子送给这个人。这个人收下被子，并且非常感激，之后，作者和
奶奶上车离开。此处，也可以描写一下作者在现场的感受。
第二段开头是：回到家里，我碰巧在壁橱里发现了一条破旧的被子……本段应该写作者向奶奶询问这条被
子的来历。奶奶向作者讲述这条被子的故事，以及缝制被子送给他人的原因。作者从中学到了很多道理，
并且决心向奶奶学习做些慈善的事情。
续写时我们要按照已给出的材料中的关键词来写两段内容。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右。
按要求完成写作任务。

by accident，be determined to，等高级词汇；“That’s pretty and it looks warm,” the lady exclaimed and took the
quilt, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.一句中的 her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.为独立主格结构；As
we walked back down the alley, I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady holding the quilt tightly to her face.一句
中使用了 as 引导的时间状语从句，以及感官动词的复合结构；as a poor young woman sleeping in the same
alley, Grandma was offered a quilt, which warmed her up.一句使用了 which 引导的非限制性定语从句。That’s
why Grandma sewed the old clothes together and made quilts for those in need. 一句使用了 why 引导的表语从句
；I thought of all the clothes I didn’t want to wear anymore and knew what Grandma and I would do the next morning.一句使用了 what 引导的宾语从句。
