When I was a little boy aged two, my mom agreed to let me take a short ride and that was it! From then on, I drove my parents crazy begging for a horse.When I was four, I had mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days, weeks, months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to a friend. I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist (心理学家) had an idea. He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world. He explained I was going to be given a chance to work for that. And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mothers ear, “A horse.”I was to get a pony, but I had to live up to my end of the bargain (讲价). I had a list of weekly tasks I had to finish. I had to answer the phone five times per week, something I had never done before. I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. For a child with mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing Mount Qomolangma. I did everything that was asked of me and the day came. His name was Sequoia, whom I fell in love with immediately. When I was in Sequoias presence, I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.I am a fully participating member of society these days. My horse and I made it through a masters degree. I may have made it otherwise, but Im not sure. I feel I owe my life to the horse and I try to give it back to him. He has given me the best gift I could ever imagine, my life.5. What was the situation like when the author was four?A. He didnt say a word at all.B. He learned how to ride a horse.C. He found his classmates unfriendly.D. He had difficulty in communicating.6. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A. He completed some tasks easily.B. He pushed himself extremely hard.C. He fell in love with Sequoia gradually.D. He found the psychologists idea useless.7. What is the authors purpose of writing the text?A. To share his unfortunate childhood.B. To give tips on how to cure mutism.C. To show his deep gratefulness to his horse.D. To encourage kids struggling against mutism.【答案】5. D 6. B 7. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者的亲身经历，作者在四岁的时候，语言沟通出现障碍，心理学家想到一个办法，让作者通过完成说话任务得到了他从小就梦想拥有的一匹小马，这匹小马的到来，治愈了作者所有的问题，使作者感觉到强大和安全的，作者十分感激这匹小马。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“When I was four, I had mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days, weeks, months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to a friend.”可知，我四岁的时候在一些社交场合不说话，在学校几天，几周或者几个月也不发一声，最多同朋友说悄悄话。可见，作者在语言沟通上出现了障碍，故选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段可知，心理学家想出一个办法，让作者通过完成说话任务得到小马，而对于一个有不言症的孩子来说，说话是一件十分困难的事情，而作者又特别渴望得到小马，因此推断作者应该是极其努力的逼迫自己去完成说话任务，故选B。【7题详解】推理判断题。本题是根据文章来推断作者的写作目的。根据文章最后一段可知作者可以完全的参与社会活动，这都归功于作者的马，并且作者认为这匹小马给了他生命，赋予他力量，因此作者写这匹文章的目的就是要感谢这匹小马，故选C。【点睛】写作意图与文章主题不同，但与主题关系密切。文章主旨是中心思想，文章大意，而写作意图是阐述为什么要表达这个中心思想，等于文章大意+论述方法。作者意图题需要具有归纳和推理的能力，根据已知细节给出合理的判断。在阅读中，作者并不会把写作意图表达出来，需要读者在整体语篇阅读的基础上，对全篇的逻辑关系进行研究，以及细节的暗示，推断作者的态度。小题3作者根据对小马赋予作者再次生活的力量和信息的细节描述可推断作者的目的就是要感激这匹小马。C阅读理解。Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our worlds heritage.The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This isembodiedin an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isnt taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.8. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To tell us what is heritage.B. To stress the importance of heritages.C. To explain the aims of protecting heritages.D. To introduce some places of interest in the world.9. About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT_.A. identificationB. applicationC. protectionD. conservation10. If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country_.A. can ask UNESCO for more money and helpB. should continue to take special care of itC. wont take trouble of caring for itD. will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger11. The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is_.A. to attract more tourists from other countriesB. to get more money and help from other countriesC. to have it taken better care ofD. to make it known to other countries【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们什么是遗产，如何申请遗产，并呼吁人们保护遗产。【8题详解】推理判断题。本段主要解释了什么是遗产及其大体分类，并列举了几个世界遗产的例子，故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，联合国教科文组织鼓励、认定和保护世界遗产，并没有提到利用世界遗产，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。由短文最后一段可知，申遗成功后，要对世界遗产继续加以保护，如果保护不善，该遗产可能会从名录上删除。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后两段，通过联合国对一个国家的要求可推知，认定世界遗产的目的是使其得到更好的保护。故选C。DEvery year in America, highschool students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT for short. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. Thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside. Have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的笔迹) of young people whove been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And dont forget, we all have to use handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when the power goes out.Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting. Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb. You should then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.Evaluate your writing. What do you like and what dont you like about the way you write? Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.Take your time. Make sure that while you are writing, you take your time. Speed can definitely make your writing terrible. If it is worth writing well, then take your time.Practice. Practice it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.12. At present, the SAT tests students on _.A. math, English, reading and writing.B. math, grammar, reading and handwriting.C. math, foreign language and writing.D. math, foreign language and handwriting.13. The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. writing quickly and roughly.B. typing simply and correctly.C. painting clearly and neatly.D. describing properly and well.14. According to the text, good handwriting can _.A. help students pass the test.B. make a student more popular.C. show students ability.D. assist students in getting a job.15. The author mainly wants to tell us that _.A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT.B. those who will go to college have to take the SAT.C. students should practice handwriting more often.D. kids dont know how to write in the computer age.【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。在美国，每年想要上大学的高中生都要参加一项叫做学术能力倾向测试的全国考试，简称SAT。这个考试增加了当场书写部分，但是当前学生不注重书写，因此短文也介绍了如何提高书写的建议。所以此项改革会督促学生练字。【12题详解】细节理解题。由第一段以及第二段“The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot”可知，学业能力倾向测验衡量一个人的数学能力和对英语的使用。传统上，英语部分涉及语法问题和测试阅读理解的段落。但是SAT考试增加了一个问题，要求考生当场手写来回答问题。所以目前，SAT考试考查的是学生的数学，语法，阅读和书写。故选B项。【13题详解】词句猜测题。由第三段“Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的笔迹) of young people whove been typing on computers since the age of three ”可知，祝那些三岁起就开始在电脑上打字的年轻人好运，他们必须克服这些潦草的字迹。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，在第2段划线的“scribble”一词可能是指写得又快又粗糙。 故选A项。【14题详解】细节理解题。由第三段“Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. ”可知，老师们坚持认为，好的书写不仅能帮助一个人在SAT考试中取得好成绩，而且在以后的生活中，还能给潜在的雇主留下深刻的印象。所以根据短文，好的书写可以帮助学生找工作。故选D项。【15题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，在美国，每年想要上大学的高中生都要参加一项叫做学术能力倾向测试的全国考试，简称SAT。这个考试增加了当场书写部分，但是当前学生不注重书写，因此短文也介绍了如何提高书写的建议。所以此项改革会督促学生练字。所以作者通过这篇短文主要想告诉学生应该多练习书写。故选C项。第二部分 完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分, 满分30分)When I was a little child, my favorite musical _16_ is piano, but when I started my middle school, Iwas forced to give up _17_ I could concentrate more on my studies.Its one of my biggest _18_ to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today.
