My son Henry and I were shopping in a neighborhood market. Henry was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I selected. I gave him a bag of potatoes and he walked over to the scale and waited in line. Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, and stepped before him, hitting him out of the way. Henry looked shocked and scared. Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Henry, saying loudly, “Are you OK, honey? I saw what that man did to you. That was very, very wrong.”When the man finished weighing his bag, his sudden turning around made all his onions fall to the ground. The three of us stood there, frozen for a moment. And then I bent down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions. After I handed the onions to the man, he accepted them and put them into his bag. After Henry and I picked up all the onions, the man walked away without saying anything. We didnt discuss the event until we got back in the car.On the way back home, Henry said through tears, “Mommy, Ive a frustrating day. That man cut right in front of me. And we had to help him pick up his onions! Why did we do that? That didnt make any sense！”I took a deep breath and said, “Henry, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today. We should forgive him. I was also angry with the man for treating you rudely. I really wanted to kick him. But doing that doesnt make any sense. If we hadnt helped him, we might have felt good for a moment, but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. You and I have a lot of love to share. Maybe that man doesnt have much. People who behave badly still need love.”A cheerful smile appeared on Henrys face. It was a smile of promise kept. It was the best smile I had ever seen. It was a good moment. It may have been my best mommy moment ever. 语篇解读：本文讲的是作者带着儿子去购物被插队了，但还是帮这个插队的人捡掉落的洋葱的故事，告诉我们要做一个心胸宽广的人，宽容他人。1What did the man do?AHe cut in the line.BHe hit Henry on the head.CHe hurried away without paying.DHe ran into Henry suddenly.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段“Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, and stepped before him, hitting him out of the way.”突然，一个人从后面冲过来，走到他面前，撞到了他。可知这个男人插队了，故选A。2What can we infer from the passage?AThe author was not angry at all with what the man had done.BThe man was very sorry for what he had done to Henry.CAt last, Henry learned a very valuable life lesson from the event.DHenry didnt help the author pick up the onions for the man.解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段“A cheerful smile appeared on Henrys face.

Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But that doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 语篇解读：这篇文章主要讲述了中国伟大的思想家孔子以及孔子学说对后世的深远影响。中国政府在很多地方建立了孔子研究院，国内外的很多人都热衷于孔子的理论。4The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aattract the readers interest in the subjectBprovide some key facts about ConfuciusCshow great respect for the ancient thinkerDprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations解析：选A推理判断题。文章以很幽默的写法开头，目的在于吸引读者的注意，故选A。5We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _.Atake an active part in Chinese competitionsBtry to get high scores in Chinese examsCfight for a chance to learn ChineseDhave a great passion in studying Chinese解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段“Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.

The actual history of magazines can date back to the newspaper industry. The newspaper industry wanted to do more indepth articles and articles that needed much more research. From time to time, the larger newspapers included weekly insert sections (插入版块) that were smaller. These inserts would include longer stories, indepth interviews, and of course, photographs. It was in these inserts that the first magazines were born.Of course, this was an idea that soon took off. The readers loved having these small inserts which were convenient for them to take and read when they were free. As time went by, people became more interested in the world around them. Magazines began to realize that they would benefit (受益) from being specialized. For example, as voting numbers grew in the United States, magazines that were only about election news and politics began to come out. Nowadays, magazines can be found on many different topics. Schools put out magazines for various reasons, so do companies and businesses. The industry has completely grown and succeeded.The other side of the magazine industry is known as gossip magazines. These are magazines that focus on the people that are wellknown. These magazines sometimes contain correct information about their private lives, and sometimes contain information that doesnt come from facts.All in all, magazines work together to fill an important position. Unlike nonfiction books that can take months to be put out into the market, and unlike newspapers that need to be put out each day, magazines are put out each week, every two weeks, each month, or in longer periods. This means that they can still put out news that is fresh, but that their reporters can take the time that they need to provide their readers with well written stories.12We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the magazine _.Awas difficult for the reporters to researchBstarted from the inserts of some newspapersCexperienced the same history as the newspaperDdeveloped as fast as the newspaper in the past解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段最后三句可知，一些大型的报纸特设了插入版块，而最初的杂志就是由此演变而来的。13Why did specialized magazines about political news appear in the United States?ATo educate the public.BTo introduce great leaders.CTo draw readers attention.DTo get support from famous leaders.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第四、五句可知，杂志(经营者)开始意识到专门化的内容更能够吸引读者购买杂志，进而从中受益(挣更多的钱)。所举的美国开始出现专门刊登政治新闻的杂志的例子正是为了证明这一点。14Gossip magazines are the ones that _.Ainclude nothing but untrue informationBare mainly about important election newsCmake more people become famous quicklyDmainly introduce famous peoples private lives解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，八卦杂志主要介绍一些名人的私生活。15Compared with newspapers, magazines _.Afocus more on politicsBhave many more readersCprovide readers with better written storiesDtake a shorter time to be put out into the market解析：选C细节理解题。根据文章最后两句可知，与报纸相比，杂志的记者在报道新闻时会用更多的时间保证新闻内容更充实。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Reasons to exercise regularlyYouve been told a hundred times that exercise is good for your health._16_ Here are four benefits that you can get from just a little daily exercise._17_ Do you feel a bit more clear after good daily exercise? Not only is your brain getting more energy and oxygen, but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better. Of course, an intense exercise right before a big exam could leave you more tired than smart but the two are still undoubtedly linked.You will become more confident._18_ Through exercising, you will feel more accomplished and social (if you work out at a gym). Even if you dont see immediate results in your body, the effort will make you feel better and a bit of confidence can go a long way.You will live longer. Its no secret that healthy living will keep you alive longer. One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking. _19_ And just a bit of regular exercise can slow the process for a while.You will sleep better. If you ever have trouble falling asleep at night, it is a good way to solve this problem with regular exercise. The National Sleep Foundation says that regular exercise can help you sleep better._20_ If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect! Luckily, you can choose other good ways to fill up that prebed relaxation time.AYou will be happier.BYou will improve your memory.CIt is really true that sitting all day is killing you.DBoth of these are important parts of losing weight.EIts true, and its good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.FObviously, exercise can improve your appearance which can improve confidence.GThe best time to exercise is in the morning or in the afternoon, rather than before bed.16解析：选E考查上下文理解。根据前文可知锻炼的重要性经常被提及。所以这里应该接着锻炼的重要性来讲。“Its true, and its good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.”这是对的，而且它不仅仅对减肥和增肌有用。故选E。17解析：选B考查上下文理解。根据下文的“but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better”但是许多研究表明锻炼会帮助你记忆和学习一些事情。所以这里应该填入和提高记忆力有关的选项。因此选B。18解析：选F考查上下文理解。根据空前的“You will become more confident”与选项中的“confidence”对应。故选F。19解析：选C考查上下文理解。根据前文的“One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking”可知这一段说的是锻炼与寿命的关系。所以这里应该填入和寿命有关的选项。“It is really true that sitting all day is killing you.”静坐一整天正在缓慢地杀死你。故选C。20解析：选G考查上下文理解。根据下文的“If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect！”如果锻炼的时间接近睡前，锻炼很可能会有相反的结果。所以这里说的是锻炼的时间的问题。故选G。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
