There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.4. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick B.

The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always trumps(王牌) friend.8. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. differ B. preventC. benefit D. change9. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.10. The author proves his statements mainly by _.A. listing data B. giving explanationsC. quoting sayings D. making examples11. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughter？ B. Who is a mothers best friend?C. Mother or friend? D. Can a mother be a daughters best friend?【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，讨论的主题是母亲和女儿之间的关系，在当代社会中母亲和女儿关系会超越朋友之间的友谊，让她们之间的联系更为紧密。【8题详解】猜测词义题。根据第二段第一句“Marina, 27 years old, says, I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend.”可知母亲和女儿之间的爱并不能让她们错误最好的朋友。可知本句“which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.”中的“preclude”意为“阻止”，故B项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句 “This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. ” 和最后一句“Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.”可知母亲和女儿的关系会超越朋友之间的友谊，让她们之间的联系更为紧密。故C项正确。【10题详解】写作手法题。本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍母亲和女儿之间的关系。文章中并没有列举数据、引用名言，也没有举例说明。作者通过了说理的方法证明自己的观点。故B项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。本文是一篇议论文，讨论的主题是母亲和女儿之间的关系，在当代社会中母亲和女儿关系会超越朋友之间的友谊，让她们之间的联系更为紧密。ABC并非文章的中心思想。D项与主旨一致，故D项正确。【点睛】本文小题4考查了主旨大意题中的标题类，BCD三项与文章主题关系不够密切，我们可以根据行文的详略确定文章的主题。涉及文章主题的部分总是详尽说明或论述，不是主题部分通常较为简略。主旨题常见的命题形式：(1)Whatsthemain(central) point/idea/subject/thoughtofthe(secondparagraph) passage?(2)Thispassageismainlyabout/mainlyconcerns(3)Whatdoesthepassage/authormainlydiscuss?(4)Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthepassage?(5)Theauthorspurposeofwritingthispassageis解答这类题的常用方法是：把握文章的逻辑结构。文章主题出现的位置常对应于文章逻辑结构中的一部分。高考阅读理解文章的主要逻辑结构有：按时间顺序展开，这种结构的文章主题常出现在首段或末段；按从一般到具体展开，文章的主题常出现在首段；按从具体到一般展开，文章的主题常出现在末段；对比性文章的主题是进行对比的各事物之间的基本共同点或差异；分类性文章以分类说明的各大项相加为主题。抓住文章的主题句。文章的主题句常出现在首段的首句、首段的末句或全文的末句。注意首段的转折处。概括段落大意。注意段首的定义句、举例后的概括句。根据行文的详略确定文章的主题。涉及文章主题的部分总是详尽说明或论述，而与主题关系不够密切的部分则很简略。注意解题时要排除表示文章细节的选项。DBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not favourable), marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(机制). For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”12. Which one of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The married men live seven years longer than the unmarried.B. Marriage can help make up for ill health,C. The unmarried are more likely to have heart disease than the married old men.D. Unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life13. It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.A. the disadvantages of being marriedB. The emotional problems arising from marriageC. The responsibility of taking care of ones familyD. The consequence of a broken marriage14. What does the author say about social networks?A. They contribute a great deal to longevity.B. They help develop peoples community spirit.C. They provide timely support for those in need.D. They help relieve people of their lifes burden15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Its important that we develop a social network when young.B. To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D. We should share our social networks with each other.【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文，影响人们寿命的因素很多，其中婚姻关系以及社交网络起着非常重要的作用，本文对此做了详细说明。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.”可知尽管家人、朋友、邻居甚至宠物会对人们的寿命有影响，婚姻关系对人们的寿命也有很大影响。也就是说良好的婚姻关系可以弥补疾病带来的影响。故B项正确。【13题详解】猜测词义题。名词短语flip side的原意是“唱片的另一面”，在这里前面已经分析过婚姻的好处，这里指的就是婚姻的反面，故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.”可知社会关系和婚姻一样，可以导致人们活得更久，故选择A。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The best social network is still being mapped out,”可知如果人们想活到100岁，一段要有很好的社交网络。也就是说社交网络是人们保持健康的重要因素。故B项正确。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。When your pet is sick, you know it needs medication. But pets, like babies, dont know the pill you want them to take will help them. _16_ Here are some tips to help get your pet to take liquid medicine._17_ If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food. First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication. Its important that the pet nibbles (一点一点地吃) at the food and sees that theres nothing wrong.Next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount of food and present it. Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (剂量) down. _18_ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.If the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper to get the liquid down your pets throat._19_ Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesnt sense your stress or hesitation. Position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair or a cat on your lap._20_ Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth. Slowly squeeze the medication so the pet wont choke. Try to keep your pets mouth closed for about 30 seconds until you see it has swallowed. If your pet is being obstinate (倔强的) , stroke its throat gently or blow on the face.Be sure you end the process with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experience.A. Before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials youll need ready.B. Once the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the pets mouth from above, tilting back the head slightly.C. Ask the vet if the liquid medication can be given with food.D. You should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicine.E. Never mix the medication with the full meal.F. They just know it sme
