5、o see music and singing as a relief from all the awkwardness and embarrassment of growing up poor, shy and often an outsider. Rogers wrote in his 2012 book, Luck or Something Like It: A Memoir.

6、 a half-gallon of ice cream and a meeting with a country music star. In high school, he formed a vocal group called the Scholars.

8、 Bobby Doyle, as he wrote half a century later. 1. From the passage we learn that Kenny Rogers was born in the _A.early 1960sB.late 1930sC.early 1950sD.late 1940s答案:B解析 第三段第一句“Kenneth Donald Rogers was born in Houston on Aug. 21, 1938.”。 本文讲述了乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯的生平履历，并着重介绍了他的音乐才华。 参考译文 乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯于周五晚去世，他因经

9、典歌曲赌城和溪中之岛而闻名。他已经81岁了。他在佐治亚州桑迪泉的家中自然死亡。 在他60年的音乐生涯中，这位流行歌手的专辑全球销量超过1亿张，获得了三次格莱美奖，并在乡村音乐名人堂中占有一席之地。他还出版了好几本摄影方面的书，为高尚事业贡献了时间和金钱，出演了许多电视电影，还开了一家连锁餐厅。 肯尼斯唐纳德罗杰斯于1938年8月21日出生于休斯敦。罗杰斯在爱德华和露西尔的八个孩子中排行第四，在政府提供的住房中长大。他是他家里第一个获得高中文凭的人。 罗杰斯在2012年出版的运气或类似的东西：回忆录一书中写道：“早在上小学时，我就开始把音乐和唱歌视为一种解脱，摆脱在成长过程中的贫穷、害羞和常常是

10、局外人的所有尴尬与难堪。”他10岁时第一次参加了才艺比赛。他翻唱的相思布鲁斯为他赢得了大奖：半加仑冰激凌和一次与一位乡村音乐明星的会面。 高中时，他组建了一个叫作“学者”的乐队。他们录制了一些令人难忘的歌曲，然后分道扬镳。作为一名独唱艺术家，肯尼斯罗杰斯录制了一首名为疯狂的感觉的歌曲，并向公众发行。 1959年，爵士钢琴家鲍比道尔在一家俱乐部听了罗杰斯的演奏，邀请他加入鲍比道尔三人乐团，担任贝斯手和和声歌手。罗杰斯不是贝斯手，但还是签约了。该团体于20世纪60年代中期解散。正如罗杰斯在半个世纪后写道的那样，那时他已经“从鲍比道尔那里学会了如何成为一名音乐家”。 细节判断题。文章第三段第一句提到

11、“肯尼斯唐纳德罗杰斯于1938年8月21日出生于休斯敦”，因此我们得知肯尼斯唐纳德-罗杰斯出生于20世纪30年代末期，即“in the late 1930s”。故选B。 2. According to the passage, _ is one of Kenny Rogers best remembered songs.A.The GamblerB.That Crazy FeelingC.Lovesick BluesD.Luck or Something Like It: A Memoir答案:A解析 第一段第一句“Country music star Kenny Rogers, known

12、for classics like The Gambler and Islands in the Stream, died Friday night.” 细节判断题，文章第一段第一句提到“乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯于周五晚去世，他因经典歌曲赌城和溪中之岛而闻名”。由此我们得知肯尼罗杰斯最令人难忘的歌曲是“The Gambler”and“Islands in the Stream”。选项中只有A项符合，故选A。 3. The word version in Paragraph 4 is probably closest in meaning to _.A.translatingB.readingC.

13、singingD.dancing答案:C解析 第四段最后一句“His version of Lovesick Blues won him the grand prize: a half-gallon of ice cream and a meeting with a country music star.” 词汇理解题。文章第四段最后一句提到“他翻唱的相思布鲁斯为他赢得了大奖：半加仑冰激凌和一次与一位乡村音乐明星的会面”。此处的“version”本义为“版本”，相思布鲁斯为一首歌曲，原句直译为“他的相思布鲁斯的版本”，意思就是“他翻唱的相思布鲁斯”，即“version”等同于singing“歌

14、唱”，故选C。A项translating意为“翻译”；B项reading意为“阅读”；D项dancing意为“跳舞”，均不符合句意。 4. According to the passage, Kenny Rogers _.A.came from a rich familyB.was very confidentC.didnt finish high schoolD.wasnt a bass player答案:D解析 最后一段第二句“Rogers wasnt a bass player but signed on anyway.” 细节判断题。文章最后一段第二句提到“罗杰斯不是贝斯手，但还是签约

15、了”。由此可知D项表述正确，故选D。其他选项均与原文不符。第三段第二句提到“罗杰斯在爱德华和露西尔的八个孩子中排行第四，在政府提供的住房中长大”，可知罗杰斯家并不富裕，排除A项；第三段最后一句提到“他是他家里第一个获得高中文凭的人”，可知罗杰斯完成了高中学业，排除C项；第四段第一句提到“早在上小学时，我就开始把音乐和唱歌视为一种解脱，摆脱在成长过程中的贫穷、害羞和常常是局外人的所有尴尬与难堪”，可知罗杰斯曾经很自卑，并不自信，排除B项。 5. Which of the following contributes the most to his success as a country musi

16、c star? _A.The government housing project that he grew up in.B.The first talent contest that he took part in.C.The association with Bobby Doyle.D.The restaurant chain that he launched.答案:C解析 最后一段最后一句“By then, Rogers had learned how to be a musician from Bobby Doyle, as he wrote half a century later.

17、” 细节判断题。文章最后一段最后一句提到“正如罗杰斯在半个世纪后写道的那样，那时他已经从鲍比道尔那里学会了如何成为一名音乐家”，我们可知正是由于鲍比道尔对罗杰斯的知遇之恩，促进了罗杰斯的极大进步，使得他成为一名成功的乡村音乐明星，故选C。 Passage 2 When Ellas owners escaped from their home, they werent able to take the dog with them.

But as wildfires raced

24、through, Ella stood watch at the only house that was still standing in the neighborhood.” 本文主要讲述了科普塞家遭遇火灾和他们的宠物狗艾拉在火灾中受伤并被救助的故事。 参考译文 当艾拉的主人从家逃跑时，他们没能把狗带走。但当大火肆虐时，艾拉守望在附近唯一一间幸存的房子旁边。 艾拉几乎在废墟中待了两天。艾拉的家人不敢肯定它是否能从大火中活下来。但她家的一位朋友告诉艾拉的主人迈克和利亚娜科普塞夫妇，他曾看到艾拉在邻居的房子外面看守。 2018年11月8日，一场致命的加州野火引发了一场营地大火，科普塞家所在的社

25、区几乎被彻底摧毁。死亡人数为71人，据报道有1,000多人失踪。 至于艾拉，这只狗现在和科普塞家的大女儿凯拉韦斯特曼住在一起。韦斯特曼创建了一个GoFundMe页面，访客可以在上面捐款来帮助她支付艾拉的医药费。到目前为止，她已经筹集了目标650美元中的175美元来帮助在火灾中烧伤的艾拉。 “像许多其他受到营火影响的动物一样，艾拉也是其中之一。在经历了这场大火之后，我们非常幸运地看到它回来了，”韦斯特曼在GoFundMe的页面上写道，“虽然她的账单已经因为是火灾受害者打了折扣，但仍在迅速增加。我们已经花了250美元了，任何一点善心都会对我们将来的探视有所帮助。” 艾拉的家人还说，当地的动物保护协

26、会已经为艾拉提供了食物、玩具和床。尽管艾拉是安全的，但这家人还是无家可归。关于科普塞家的一个单独的GoFundMe页面上写道，这个家庭“在这场火灾中失去了一切”。 细节判断题。第一段提到“当艾拉的主人从家逃跑时，他们没能把狗带走。但当大火肆虐时，艾拉守望在附近唯一一间幸存的房子旁边”，可知艾拉的主人逃走了，但艾拉一直待在附近。故选C。 2.

27、 destroyed except oneC.half of the houses remained standingD.most houses survived the fire答案:B解析 第一段第二句“But as wildfires raced through, Ella stood watch at the only house that was still standing in the neighborhood.” 细节判断题。文章第一段第二句提到“但当大火肆虐时，艾拉守望在附近唯一一间幸存的房子旁边”，可知所有的房子都被大火摧毁了，还剩唯一一间房子。故选B。 3.

29、 daughter.” 细节判断题。文章第四段第一句提到“至于艾拉，这只狗现在和科普塞家的大女儿凯拉韦斯特曼住在一起”，由此可知，艾拉最终和它的主人在一起，选项D正确，故选D。其他选项均不符合题意。第三段最后一句提到“死亡人数为71人，据报道有1,000多人失踪”，可知选项A和B错误；第五段第一句提到“像许多其他受到营火影响的动物一样，艾拉也是其中之一”，可知许多动物在大火中受伤了，因此选项C错误。 4. Kayla Westman planned to raise _ dollars for Ellas medical treatment.A.175B.650C.250D.350答案:B解析

30、 第四段最后一句“So far, shes raised $175 of a $650 goal to help Ella, who suffered burns in the fire.” 细节判断题。文章第四段最后一句提到“到目前为止，她已经筹集到了目标650美元资金中的175美元来帮助在火灾中烧伤的艾拉”。可知凯拉韦斯特曼计划为艾拉的治疗筹集650美元资金。故选B。 5. It is learned from the passage that _.A.people in the neighborhood have not paid enough attention to animalsB

31、.animals in the neighborhood are not worth mans care and protectionC.blood is thicker than waterD.there exists a good relationship between people and dogs答案:D解析 全文。 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到艾拉在发生火灾时并没有逃走，一直守护在幸存的房子附近，表明了狗对人们忠诚的感情；第四段提到艾拉的主人为她筹集资金，帮助它疗伤，表明人们对狗的爱护之情；最后一段提到当地的动物保护协会已经为艾拉提供了食物、玩具和床，同样表明了社会和人们对狗的爱护。

32、因此，整篇文章表达了人与狗之间的深厚感情，故选D。 Passage 3 Last week, Seth Priebatsch, the CEO and founder of SCVNGR, wrote a post encouraging young people with entrepreneurial aspirations (创业愿望) to drop out of college.(79) He may be right, but that makes me sad. Ive been worrying about Priebatschs drop-out advice because

39、f college is not a wise decision for young people.答案:D解析 全文。 本文讲述了作者对“鼓励有创业志向的年轻人从大学辍学”这一建议的看法，并提出了如何平衡大学求学与就业的解决方案。 参考译文 上周，SCVNGR的首席执行官和创始人塞思普瑞巴什写了一篇文章，鼓励有创业志向的年轻人从大学辍学。他也许是正确的，但这却让我感到悲哀。 我一直在担心普瑞巴什的“辍学”建议，因为我认为这在很大程度上是一个糟糕的建议。作为一名要支付两份大学学费的家长，我坚信高等教育的重要性，不仅因为我认为学位将帮助我的孩子们找到好工作，还因为大学经历将使他们成为更好、更聪明

40、、更有趣的人。如果他们选择那样做，他们余生有大把的时光去创业。但除此之外，他们什么时候才能有空闲时间去学习艺术史、读名著、学好写作，或精通另一门语言呢?从更实际的角度来看，他们正在与同学和教授建立关系，这将使他们的个人和职业生涯受益终生。 如今，创业作为一种职业道路广受欢迎，我认为这一代人将成为历史上最具企业家精神的一代。但是，高校在这一趋势上处于落后的状态。当然，考夫曼基金会的数据显示，目前在研究生和本科生创业项目中有400多名杰出的教授，学生人数超过20万。但如果作为大一新生，你正在创业的路上，一两门创业课程不会让你开心，可能也不会帮助你发展公司。 我的解决方案是：学院和大学需要为年轻企业

41、家提供一套全新的课程，这样他们就可以继续学习在商业上取得成功所需的技能，同时还能享受高等教育提供的资源。 主旨大意题。文章第二段第一句提到“我一直在担心普瑞巴什的辍学建议，因为我认为这在很大程度上是一个糟糕的建议”，之后举例说明高等教育对于大学生的重要性，辍学将失去学习知识和与同学和教授建立关系的机会。最后一段作者提出了自己关于“继续学习在商业上取得成功所需的技能，同时还能享受高等教育提供的资源”的解决方案，同样强调了高等教育的重要性。因此只有选项D(辍学对年轻人来说不是一个明智的决定)符合题意。故选D。 2. The word counsel in Paragraph 2 is closes

42、t in meaning to _.A.goalB.industryC.adviceD.reaction答案:C解析 第二段第一句“Ive been worrying about Priebatschs drop-out advice because for the most part, I think its terrible counsel.” 词汇理解题。文章第二段第一句提到“我一直在担心普瑞巴什的辍学建议，因为我认为这在很大程度上是一个糟糕的建议”。该句前半部分提到“drop-out”advice即“辍学”建议，后半部分提到it即“drop-out”advice是terrible co

43、unsel。表明counsel等同于advice“建议”，故选C。A项goal意为“目标”；B项industry意为“产业；工业”；D项reaction意为“反应”，均不符合句意。 3. What solution does the author offer in the last paragraph? _A.Colleges should design a whole new curriculum for young entrepreneurs.B.Colleges should create opportunities for students to work with local ent

44、repreneurs.C.The government should provide loans for young entrepreneurs.D.The government should make favorable policies to help young entrepreneurs.答案:A解析 最后一段“Heres my solution: colleges and universities need to come up with a whole new curriculum for young entrepreneurs so that they can continue

45、to learn the skills they need to succeed in business but still enjoy the resources that higher learning offers.” 细节判断题。文章最后一段提到“我的解决方案是：学院和大学需要为年轻企业家提供一套全新的课程，这样他们就可以继续学习在商业上取得成功所需的技能，同时还能享受高等教育提供的资源”，由此可知A项“大学应该为年轻企业家设计一套全新的课程”为正确答案，故选A。 4. The authors position on dropping out of college is _.A.sup

46、portiveB.neutralC.negativeD.positive答案:C解析 第二段第一句“Ive been worrying about Priebatschs drop-out advice because for the most part, I think its terrible counsel.” 推理判断题。文章第二段第一句提到“我一直在担心普瑞巴什的辍学建议，因为我认为这在很大程度上是一个糟糕的建议”。由此表明作者关于从大学辍学的立场是消极的。故选C。 5. According to the passage, which of the following stateme

47、nts is NOT TRUE? _A.College provides young adults with both the intellectual capital and the social capital.B.The author thinks Priebatschs drop-out advice is acceptable.C.Entrepreneurship courses that universities offer are far from enough.D.The author thinks college education is very important.答案:

48、B解析 第二段第一句“Ive been worrying about Priebatschs drop-out advice because for the most part, I think its terrible counsel.” 推理判断题。文章第二段第一句提到“我一直在担心普瑞巴什的辍学建议，因为我认为这在很大程度上是一个糟糕的建议”，表明作者并不接受普瑞巴什的“辍学”建议。因此B选项“作者认为普瑞巴什的辍学建议是可以接受的”表述错误。故选B。 Part Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 i
