great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the players overall style on the court (球场). below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular nba players.很多伟大的篮球明星都有明智的绰号，通常描述在球场上运动员的打球风格。下面是一些受欢迎的nba球员五彩缤纷的绰号。可知c项符合题意。考点：考查人物传记类阅读bmy son ,izzy, was a nine-year-old boy and had been begging me to please let him find his way home by subway, by himself. after all, we live in new york city, and getting around by public transportation is a basic part of life. it is also the first step toward feeling grown-up. so on that sunny sunday，i gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. i didnt give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things. a few days later, i wrote about his adventure，or non-adventure for a newspaper. little did i realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him, was big news. it turned out that many tv shows called me and asked for an interview. bloggers were going crazy, so i started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. finally i found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. fear is hardly a new thing for parents, of course. but the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second-thats new. how did this happen? how did it become too scary to let kids be kids? i asked the question when the reporter trevor butterworth interviewed me.“news reports,” he answered. “news reports scare the pants off you. what is scarier than a kidnapped kid no matter how far away？because there are so many such stories, it starts to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. thats why the kid-on-the-subway story surprises the whole world.” izzy probably did a good job. he simply proved that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! but he didnt think it was a big deal. “it was fun,” he said. “but i missed some classes because of the interviews.” sometimes it really pays to be brave.5. why did the author let her son take the subway alone?a. because she always let her son do whatever he wanted.b. because she believed that her son had memorized the subway map.c. because she thought it would be big news around the whole world.d. because she felt traveling by subway in new york was a basic life skill.6. the author gave her son all the following when he traveled alone except_.a. a map. b. a cell phone.c. a transportation card d. some money.7. the author didnt expect that after she wrote her sons story for a newspaper, _.a. a blog would be started in her nameb. her son would receive so many lettersc. many tv shows would want to interview herd. many tv stations would want to film her sons story【答案】5. d 6. b 7. c【解析】试题分析：本文讲的是一个小故事，作者给报纸写了一篇文章叙述了作者的儿子自己一个人坐地铁回家的经历，没想到却引起了轩然大波。【小题1】d考查细节理解题。根据第一段的内容“after all, we live in new york city, and getting around by public transportation is a basic part of life.”可知作者认为在纽约市，乘坐公共交通是一个生活的基本技能。所以作者才让她的儿子自己一个人乘地铁。【小题2】b考查细节理解题。根据第一段中间“i gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. i didnt give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things.”可知作者给了儿子一张地铁的地图，一张公交卡，20美元的零钱以及一些硬币。但是作者没有给他手机因为孩子会丢东西。【小题3】c考查细节理解题。根据第一段末尾以及第二段开头“ it turned out that many tv shows called me and asked for an interview.”可知作者没想到这样一件事会成为一个大新闻。许多的电视节目都要来采访作者。四个选项中b、d项与文意不符。a项不是让作者感到惊奇的原因。所以选c更为合适。【名师点睛】故事类阅读概念：这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。故事类阅读应试技巧：1、抓住文章的6个要素：阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个w（when, where, who, why, what）和1个h（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。2、注意作者的议论和抒情：高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。如：【小题3】c考查细节理解题。根据第一段末尾以及第二段开头“ it turned out that many tv shows called me and asked for an interview.”可知作者没想到这样一件事会成为一个大新闻。许多的电视节目都要来采访作者。四个选项中b、d项与文意不符。a项不是让作者感到惊奇的原因。所以选c更为合适。3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心；文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关；也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节（第1点中的六要素）的理解，把握作者的态度。4、有章有据进行解题判断：分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。如：【小题2】b考查细节理解题。根据第一段中间“i gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. i didnt give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things.”可知作者给了儿子一张地铁的地图，一张公交卡，20美元的零钱以及一些硬币。但是作者没有给他手机因为孩子会丢东西。考点：故事类阅读理解ci am a middle school student. my name is wang jing. my grandfather is 70 years old now. he often says life has changed a lot.

within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. if the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.according to science daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in todays world. it is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. the planet itself has been showing signs of change. in 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in china because of another severe earthquake. egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. at this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. whats more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. there is war and threat of war everywhere. natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.however, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. no one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.12. what is the major function of paragraph 1?a. to arouse the readers concern.b. to introduce the theme of the whole passage.c. to summarize the whole passage.d. to state how climate changes.13. what is the authors purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?a. to show major changes are taking place on the planet.b. to remind people to prevent future earthquakes.c. to show the damage earthquakes caused.d. to tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.14. which of the following is not true of climate changes effects ?a. animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.b. it could lead to the spread of diseases.c. current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.d. natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.15. what can be inferred from the passage?a. animals and plants wont die out as long as climate changes slowly.b. theres enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.c. the world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.d. the earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.【答案】12. b 13. a 14. c 15. d【解析】试题分析：12. 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“based on new analysis，we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.”可知，最新研究数据表明，世界的气候变化已经严重地影响了社会和环境。而接下来的几段则是围绕气候变化对社会和环境具体的影响而展开的，由此可推知，第一段主要是介绍文章的主题。故选b项。13. 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“the planet itself has been showing signs of change.”可知，列举最近地球上所发生的地震是为了说明地球正在发生着重大变化。故选a项。14. 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“geographers predict that within the next eighty years，current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.”可知，地理学家预计在未来的八十年中，现在的世界气候带可能会改变，有的可能会完全消失，c项中说世界气候带可能会变化并会完全消失，与文中描述不符，故c项错误；根据第二段第一句“climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases.”可知，b项正确；根据第二段最后一句“if the changes come too quickly，animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.”可知，a项正确；根据倒数第二段最后一句“natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.”可知，d项正确。故选c项。15. 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“however，other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.”可知，地球并不是唯一一个在经历气候变化的星球。故选d项。第二节 (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。the benefits of keeping a journalif you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a
