I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “Shes always been my role model. Ive danced with her since I was six. Shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. Ive learned to get over bad lifes experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”One of those bad lifes experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot.” As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Dont let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”人生要经历许多苦难，但不管怎样都要勇敢面对，不能让任何人改变你自己。1.

I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架)down. He was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and Ive used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesnt overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”1What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are unwilling to take advice.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are quick learners of CRM.2. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_.A. he saved the plane by speaking upB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. his boss operated on a patient3. In the last paragraph “landing gear up”probably means “_”A. following flying requirementsB. overreacting to different opinionsC. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. making a mistake that may cost lives4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying SafeB. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC. The Making of a Good PilotD. A PilotTurned Doctor文章大意本文作者谈了自己做医生和飞行员的体会，强调了倾听别人建议的重要性。1B。考查细节理解。由第一段第二句可知，医生往往不喜欢听建议，因为他们了解情况。2A。考查细节理解。由第二段最后两句可知，作者大胆提醒飞行员(主治医师)放下起落架，第一次感到了大胆说出来的力量，且从此以后在手术室也这样做。3D。考查词义猜测。根据句意“但是我希望，如果我继续鼓励他们，有人会在某一天阻止我犯将起落架升起来这样严重的错误”可知，此处“landing gear up”借指所犯的可能会以生命为代价的错误。4B。考查标题判断。作者将自己从飞行员职业经历中所获取的经验运用到行医生涯中，使自己善于倾听别人的建议，从而使自己成为了一名优秀的医生。B项符合题意。【2015高考复习】阅读理解 As China becomes increasingly urbanized (城市化的)，it has to find space for its urban and rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model way may be reinventing a “garden city”Chinas megacities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing ruralurban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the worlds largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a longterm study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.The concept is already practiced at grass roots level.Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. Its common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, therere fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruitall enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing.Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.【语篇解读】 中国的城市化进程不断加快，这是一个我们不得不面对的现实。如果不能较好地应对，这对我们来说将是个灾难。城市和农村将如何融合共生？16Some experts suggest reinventing a “garden city” because_.Ait is the only model way to save the citiesBit helps stop destroying the rural areasCincreasing urbanization takes place in ChinaDChina has the largest population to feed答案C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的内容可知，专家提议重建花园城市是因为中国的城市化进程在不断加快。17In Hua Lis opinion, a combination of country and city will_.Abenefit the environment and lower living costsBbecome a project that needs a longterm studyClead to more rural communities being replacedDattract more farmers to take tours in cities答案A细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city.”可知，城乡结合既保护了环境又降低了生活成本。18Zhang is mentioned(in Paragraph 5)to show that_.Ahe achieves his dream to own a hanging gardenBhanging gardens are becoming more popularCthe garden contributes to a better neighborhoodDhe is a pioneer to practise the gardening concept答案C推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句中的“neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing”可知，邻居们都喜欢来他的空中花园玩，这有助于建立良好的邻里关系。19As for the concept of the“garden city”，the writer feels_.Adesperate BhopefulCdisappointed Dconcerned答案B态度意图题。根据最后一段中的“there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future”可知，作者认为花园城市的构想是可行的，在不久的将来会成为现实，故作者对此充满希望。【2015高考复习】阅读理解A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the Net, use emails and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer，and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.【语篇解读】 网瘾迅速蔓延全球，成为世纪通病，影响着不同年龄的人群。20The authors attitude towards weboholism is that of being_.Aoptimistic B. disapprovingCpositive D. acceptable答案B作者态度题。结合第一段后半部分提到的网瘾的不良影响可知，作者对网瘾持不赞成的态度。另外，第三、四、五段的内容都是线索提示。21What is the main idea of the passage?A. The influence of weboholism.B. The advantage of weboholism.C. The popularity of weboholism.D. The cause of weboholism.答案A主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地阐述了网瘾的危害，然后从不同方面详细阐述了它造成的不良影响，所以A项最能概括文章大意。22What does the underlined word “obsessional” in the second paragraph most probably mean?AAttractive. B. Professional.CAddictive. D. Potential.答案C词义猜测题。第二段最后一句提到青少年和大学生可能会登录电脑，在不同的网站上花费很长的时间，由此可推知“obsessional”的意思是“痴迷的，上瘾的”，与“addictive”同义。23We can infer from the passage that_.Aweboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersBstudents can hardly balance real and virtual lifeCpeople are addicted to games on the InternetDvirtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway答案B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句“The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.”以及最后一段第一句中的“they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends”可推知，学生们几乎不能平衡真实生活和虚拟生活。2013高考Tail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however，is that shes even swimming at all. She doesnt have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it？” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make itbut her tail didnt. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle. Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another waylike a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.The movements put harmful pressure on Graces backbone. So a company offered to create a manmade tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough
