AuTo: (happylizijun) yaboo. com. cnSubject: My schoolHi, Li Zijun,Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life is similar too.I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 or so teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate.As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. Im usually back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 oclock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then its back to the books on Sunday afternoon.How about you? Whats your school life like? Do you have a lot of homework? What do you do to relax when youre not studying? Im looking forward to finding out.Your Australian friendTerrie1. How many subjects do the students have to do at least in Year 11 and 12?A. 11B. 3C. 4D. 62. What does the underlined phrase “sit for” in Para3 mean?A. passB. takeC. go forD. hold3. On Sunday afternoon, Terri usually_.A. read booksB. play in the school bandC. play basketballD. helps her family to prepare dinner【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A【解析】这是中友的一封书信，信中介绍了澳大利亚的学校情况。【1题详解】C。简单计算题。第三段，English is a mustand least three other subjects，总计为4门课程。【2题详解】B。猜测词义题。第12年末，我们还要参加名为高中学业水平的公开考试。sit for 参加，应考。【3题详解】A。细节理解题。从第5段最后一句得知，Terri通常在周日下午读书。BYour next car might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way.Last month,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent.Thats bigthe annual deaths on the worlds roads are about 1.2 million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.On the other hand,driverless cars will cause problems.Over the next 20 years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Traditional carmakers are especially scared.The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imagine Germany,where automobile making is the largest industry.Dramatic changes are coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.Now what about the driverless cars?4. The underlined phrase be huddled with in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with .A. turn upB. make up forC. exist togetherD. take over5. Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions because .A. they will reduce the number of carsB. they will be powered by electricityC. they will be energy-saving by driving themselvesD. they will avoid many accidents from human errors6. Whats the authors attitude toward driverless cars?A. Doubtful.B. Disappointed.C. Negative.D. Objective.7. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020.B. Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars.C. Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars.D. Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing.【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。文章介绍了无人驾驶汽车的优点和缺点。同时提到，政府还没有认真对待无人驾驶汽车。【4题详解】词义猜测题。由第二段中“But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.”可知，很多先进的城市正在减少有人驾驶汽车的作用，无人驾驶汽车首先将入驻这些城市。由此可知，无人驾驶汽车和有人驾驶汽车最初应该是同时存在。故C选项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric”可知，无人驾驶汽车是电力驱动，故他们会减少污染和二氧化碳的排放。B选项正确。【6题详解】观点态度题。第三段介绍了无人驾驶汽车的优点：减少事故，减少污染。第四段介绍了无人驾驶汽车可能引发的问题。故作者对无人驾驶汽车的态度是客观的。D选项正确。【7题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent”可知，无人驾驶汽车可以减少百分之90的事故，即：它使得事故成为一个过去式。故C选项正确。CDerek Rabclo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii s famous Pipeline big wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. Thatsbecause he is completely blind.When Derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emesto dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didnt slop his family from believing lhat he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didnt actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practicing, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emestos dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surfschool, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaiis board-breaking Pipeline is another. But thats exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.8. What does the first paragraph tell us?A. Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good suffers.B. Nobody has ever conquered Hawaiis big wave break.C. Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaiis big wave break.D. Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaiis big wave break.9. How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?A. He named him after his uncle.B. He never lost confidence in him.C. He sent him to a surfing champion.D. He started his own interest in surfing.10. After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, he_.A. began to try riding a waveB. was no longer afraid of waterC. realized he still had a long way to goD. knew his fathers dream had come true11. Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A. Brave and confident.B. Skillful but proud.C. Thoughtfuland modest.D. Courageous but stubborn.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A【解析】本文主要介绍了Derek Rabclo唯一一位盲人职业冲浪者，他征服了夏威夷的巨浪。【8题详解】D段落大意题。根据第一段主要进述了虽然Derek Rabclo不是唯一征服了夏威夷的巨浪职业冲浪者，但他是唯一一位盲人职业冲浪者，他征服了夏威夷的巨浪。故选D。【9题详解】B细节理解题。根据第二段but this didnt stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.可知，Ernesto自从Derek出生就从没有对他失去过信心。故选B。【10题详解】C细节理解题。根据第三段but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emestos dream and become a professional surfer.可知，当Derek站到冲浪板上之后，他知道他还有很远的路要走。故选C。【11题详解】A推理判断题。根据最后一段Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning.可知，每个人都告诉他这太危险了，但他觉得自己能做到。他做到了，赢得了像凯利斯莱特和米克范宁这样的著名职业冲浪者的赞扬。所以可以推断出他是勇敢而且自信的。故选A。DThere is an English saying that says, “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.” It means not bringing up an old problem. Researchers in Hungary have found another reason to let dogs keep on sleeping. It seems the animals are learning while they sleep.The Hungarian researchers placed tools on the dogs heads to know about electrical activity in the brain. The brain activity, called sleep spindles(梭状波), takes place in human begins, and has been connected with learning. The researchers hope to understand how the dogs ability to learn and remember changes as they get older. The study may help them understand how human brains change as we age.The researchers found differences between male and female dogs. Iotchey, a researcher, says the females appeared much better at learning new things. Female dogs have about twice as many spindles per minute as male dogs, they also happen to be the better learners, and they memorize the task much better. But it was harder for all the older dogs to remember things, especially when several things were happening at the same time.DoraSzabo also studies sleep spindles. Szabo is a neuroscientist in a university in Budapest. She says the older dogs have fewer spindles and are easily cheated. “If you first hide the reward into one bowl, then in another and in another, they get lost after a while. So their performance is going down, and they are getting poor in solving new problems.”Researchers hope the study will not only help understanding of learning ability and memory changes in dogs, but also the aging of humans. Senior Researcher EnikoKubinyi adds that the aging dogs suffer from the same problems as humans who are aging. “Among very old dogs, up to two thirds of them show signs of dementia(痴呆), and this dementia is really very similar to that of humans, so we could use dog as a natural model of human aging.”12. Why do researchers study dogs sleep?A. To help the dogs sleep wellB. To study dogs sleeping activityC. To control dogs learning abilityD. To know more about human brains13. What is the relationship between the number of sleep spindles and dogs learning ability?A. They have nothing to do with each otherB. Dogs with less spindles have better learning abilityC. Dogs with more spindles have better learning abilityD. Dogs learning ability is totally decided by spindle number14. What can we know about old dogs in Paragraph 4?A. They are easy to play jokes onB. They can finish tasks one after anotherC. They are good at solving new problemsD. Their memories are not so good as before15. Which is the best title for the text?A. What we can do to let dogs sleepB. What we can learn by watching sleeping dogsC. What the saying “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie” meansD. What is the difference between humans and dogs【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B【解析】本文主要讲了科学家为了更多的了解人类大脑，研究人员研究睡觉中的狗，发现狗的梭状波越多，学习能力越好，并且年老的狗记忆不再像之前那样好，甚至也会像人一样得老年痴呆症。【12题详解】细节理解题。由The researchers hope to understand how the dogs ability to learn and remember changes as they get older. The study may help them understand how human brains change as we age.可知研究人员研究狗的睡眠是为了更多地了解人类大脑，选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。由Iotchey, a researcher, says the females appeared much better at learning new things. Female dogs have about twice as many spindles per minute as male dogs, they also happen to be the better learners, and they memorize the task much better.可推断出狗的梭状波越多，学习能力越好，选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。由But it was harder for all the older dogs to remember things, especially when several things were happening at the same time.可知年老的狗记忆不再像之前那样好了，选D。【15题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要讲了科学家为了更多的了解人类大脑，研究人员研究睡觉中的狗，发现狗的梭状波越多，学习能力越好，并且年老的狗记忆不再像之前那样好，甚至也会像人一样得老年痴呆症，选B。【名师点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理判断题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude indicate等标志性词语。这种题型主要包括态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题等。比如第2小题就是推理判断题。由Iotchey, a researcher, says the females appeared much better at learning new things. Female dogs have about twice as many spindles per minute as male dogs, they also happen to be the better learners, and they memorize the task much better.可推断出狗的梭状波越多，学习能力越好，选C。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。How to Help Children Learn From Their MistakesEveryone makes mistakes. _16_ As parents, its our duty to help our children learn from their mistakes.
