Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sams jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statues neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.4. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Shocked.B. Curious.C. Worried.D. Eager.5. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.B. They fought with each other fiercely.C. They kept a certain distance from each other.D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.6. What can we infer from the text?A. Lightning knew Sam had died.B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.7. What can be the best title of the text?A. The Friendship between Sam and LightningB. The Coming of Sam and LightningC. The Death of Sam to LightningD. The Importance of Sam to Us【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A【解析】分析】本文属于记叙文，本文主要讲述一只猫和一只宠物狗之间的友谊，当宠物狗死了之后，猫很伤心，当发现宠物狗地雕像时，很开心地睡在其“朋友”的身边。【4题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段Sams jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.可知，害怕Sam嫉妒，以及怎么处理被入侵的领地，但是依然决定冒险，故可知，作者害怕领养一只猫会对宠物狗造成不好的影响，故选C。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance.可知，起初Sam 和Lightning都对对方很谨慎，保持一定距离，故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statues neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.可知，作者一天进屋发现Lightning躺在Sam的复制品的旁边，一个爪子搭载雕像的脖子上，和她的好朋友心满意足地入睡了，故可知，Sam对于Lightning来说，很重要，故选B。【7题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一只猫和一只宠物狗之间的友谊，当宠物狗死了之后，猫很伤心，当发现宠物狗地雕像时，很开心地睡在其“朋友”的身边，故选A。【点睛】词义猜测题词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或thats to say，such as等。逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。比如小题1就属于语境猜词，根据第二段Sams jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.可知，害怕Sam嫉妒，以及怎么处理被入侵的领地，但是依然决定冒险，故可知，作者害怕领养一只猫会对宠物狗造成不好的影响，故选C。CPoetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional language. Compared with prose (散文) , it lays more stress on rhythm, imagery (意象), emotion, and imagination. As its language is rhythmical, its sound is highly musical. We may say, “No rhythm, no poetry”, no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical (格律的) style or “natural” as in free verse.So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfills the demands of meter and rhyme, but also expresses the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem. This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry.The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason (石匠) builds a house using bricks; the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth (大卵石壁炉炉床) each stone or each word is turned over examined, and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape, weight, and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole. Prose, according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is “words in their best order”, and poetry is “the best words in their best order”.The readers chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect, which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic (抑扬格) feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry.8. Whats the purpose of saying “No rhythm, no poetry” in paragraph 1?A. To show the importance of rhythm in poetry.B. To show rhythm is the most important element.C. To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm.D. To show rhythm is more important than poetry.9. What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry?A. The degree of emotion.B. The careful choice of words.C. The delicate use of the metric style.D. The demands of meter and rhyme.10. Where is the readers main joy in reading poetry?A. The experience of the poets emotion.B. The appreciation of the metrical pattern.C. The readers reaction to the musical effect.D. The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings.11. How is the text mainly developed?A. By definition.B. By examples.C. By quotation.D. By comparison.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D【解析】本文属于说明文。本文主要讲述诗歌与散文之间的区别，以及人们读诗的乐趣所在之处。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段As its language is rhythmical, its sound is highly musical. We may say, “No rhythm, no poetry”, no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical (格律的) style or “natural” as in free verse.可知，诗歌的语言是有韵律的，因此常说，没有韵律，就没有诗歌，无论诗歌的韵律是传统的格律还是自由诗体的自然风格，引用这句话是为了说明韵律对于诗歌来说很重要，故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry.可知，诗歌与散文的最显著的区别是对语言的精挑细选，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段The readers chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect, 可知，读者读诗的最大乐趣来自于对诗歌中音乐感，故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章可知，全文把诗歌与散文在韵律、意境、选词方面进行对比，故可知，通过对比展开来写，故选D。DA Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire. It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.

They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs（需求理论）, Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a persons need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. _17_.I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them orchange them. _18_.Once weve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. _19_ but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation were in?”The last stage is perseverance._20_. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.A. Its nothing to a man of perseveranceB. Only by acceptance of the past can we change itC. This is especially common among college studentsD. Many people tend to go along with social expectationsE. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptanceF. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purposeG. Exploring our potential isnt going to be done in a short time【答案】16. C 17. F18. E 19. D20. G【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文，介绍要实现自我的三个方面。【16题详解】根据后一句Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity.可知，一旦高年级学生毕业，他们就似乎丧失了自我，C选项，这种情况在大学生中很常见，下文是对本句的具体阐述，切题，故选C。【17题详解】根据前一句The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies.可知，根据马斯洛的理论，第五阶段也是最后阶段是自我实现，这就是我们最终成就的地方。F选项，这是一个了解我们自己，寻找目标的过程，是对上一句的具体阐述，切题，故选F。【18题详解】根据前一句Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them.可知，只有当我们理解了这些，我们才能去追求他们或者改变他们。E选项，客观和包容是接受的关键，阐述接受的关键地方，切题，故选E。【19题详解】根据前一句Once weve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。【20题详解】根据后一句Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.可知，能够实现自我的人都是那些能够集中精力在自己想要改变的事情上，G选项，探索自己的潜能不是短时间就能完成的，故强调坚持的重要性，切题，故选G。【点睛】七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。（2）首先快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。比如小题4，根据前一句Once weve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Years after graduation, I tried to maintain the little bit of French I learned in school, but eventually I was _21_ that new languages are best learned when young and our ability to learn _22_ with age.However, before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes and was _23_ in the class for basic level.
