More than 40 years ago, my seventh grade English teacher by telling us that we were absolutely not allowed to read “The Catcher the Rye” because we weren’t “ready” for it. So naturally we all went out and read it immediately.
I told this story to my son when he was a seventh grader. I meant it as a funny story, and I pointed out that it had taken me years to appreciate that teacher’s pedagogic strategy. But then my son read the book himself right away. The mere long-ago echoo (回音) of a possible ban was enough to breathe life to his reading.
Adults have been known to worry a great deal about the possible destructive influence of the publishing world on children. If you look at the list of “frequently challenged children’s books” maintained by the American Library Association Office of Intellectual Freedom, you will see a wide range of touchy topics.
Books can get challenged because they involve magic (Philip Pullman, J.K. Rowling), or because they offend (冒犯) religious sensibilities. “A Wrinkle in Time”, by Madeleine L’Engle, has been challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious. Some books are challenged because they describe children behaving, well, childishly. (Junie B. Jones, the heroine of a series of books by Barbara Park, gets in trouble for using words like “stupid”.) So adults worry that books may be bad for children’s morals and for their manners.
In fact, banned book lists can be a great resource for parents looking for books that teach kids about the world and themselves.
When your children read books that have been challenged or banned, you have a double opportunity as a parent: you can discuss the books themselves, and the information they provide, and you can also talk about why people might find them troubling.
24. What was the author’s teacher’s pedagogic strategy?
A. Listing banned books. B. Hiding banned books.
C. Arousing the students’curiosity. D. Telling some funny stories.nours.
25. Who probably wrote something challenging religion?
A. J.K. Rowling. B. Madeleine L’Engle.
C. Junie B.Jones. D. Barbara Park.
26. What does the author advise parents to do?
A. Involve themselves in reading.
B. Let children make their own choices.
C. Choose books for their children.
D. Observe their children’s behavior closely.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Not All Challenged Books Are Bad
B. A Good Book Is a Light to the Soul
C. Parents Should Respect Children’s Choice
D. Banned or Not Banned-That Is the Question!
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中作者通过自己40多年前阅读禁书的经历，提出了怎样引导孩子阅读禁书的建议。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“More than 40 years ago, my seventh grade English teacher by telling us that we were absolutely not allowed to read “The Catcher the Rye” because we weren’t “ready” for it. So naturally we all went out and read it immediately. (40多年前，我七年级英语老师告诉我们，我们绝对不能读《麦田守望者》，因为我们还没有“准备好”。所以很自然地，我们都立刻跑出去读了它。)”可知明明老师说他们绝对不能读这本书，但是越是这样，学生们越觉得好奇，所以都跑出去买这本书来读了，故推知老师这样做是为了激发学生们的好奇心，达到了好的效果，故这是老师的教学策略；故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段““A Wrinkle in Time”, by Madeleine L’Engle, has been challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious. (Madeleine L’Engle的《时间的皱折》因过度虔诚和不够虔诚而受到质疑。)”可知是Madeleine L’Engle写的书冒犯了宗教的情感，即挑战了宗教；故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When your children read books that have been challenged or banned, you have a double opportunity as a parent: you can discuss the books themselves, and the information they provide, and you can also talk about why people might find them troubling. (当你的孩子阅读受到质疑或被禁止的书籍时，作为家长，你有双重机会：你可以讨论这些书本身，以及它们提供的信息，你也可以谈论为什么人们会觉得它们很麻烦。)”可知提到让家长讨论这些书本身或它们所提供的信息，也可以谈论为什么人们会质疑或者其被禁止，前提是家长们自己必须先参与阅读这些书籍，才能谈论；故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者40多年前阅读禁书的经历，也列举了一些书被禁止和质疑的原因，然后提出禁书是一个很好的资源这样一个观点，也给出了引导孩子阅读禁书的建议，也就是说不能因为是禁书就绝对不能让孩子阅读，只要有好的引导就可以，即本文对禁与不禁的问题作了讨论；故选项D“Banned or Not Banned-That Is the Question! (禁止还是不禁止——这是个问题！)”适合作为本文标题；故选D项。
C
When it comes to unlikely friendships, wildlife never stops to amaze. And a giant 450-pound gorilla (大猩猩) sharing a heart-warming moment with a 0.5-pound wild bushbaby (灌丛婴猴) is definitely an unusual sight to be seen.
Over 300 rescued animals live at Ape Action Africa, Cameroon — a sanctuary (鸟兽保护区) for endangered animals like gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys. Bobo, a western lowland gorilla, is among the first residents at the sanctuary. The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he was only two, after losing his mom due to poaching (偷猎). And back then, Bobo was far from the strong male he’s now.
Even though he’s such a fearless animal, Bobo is nothing but a gentle giant. And recently, his gentleness even blew away the caretakers at the sanctuary. While on their morning checks, the caretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual friend —a wild bushbaby.
It’s quite amazing to watch the tiny animal interacting in such a friendly manner with its giant neighbor. “The bushbaby showed no fear of Bobo,”said Elissa O’Sullivan, spokesperson for Ape Action Africa. “He moved around Bobo’s body and spent his time jumping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”
Wild bushbabies are normally nocturnal animals, so watching a bushbaby hanging with a group of gorillas in full daylight was even more amazing for the caretakers. “It is very uncommon to see a bushbaby during the day,” a staff member said. “We have never seen a wild animal interacting with a rescued one at the sanctuary.”
The other gorillas —three females and three young males, soon became very interested in Bobo’s new friend. However, Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companion and he kept his group away from it. “Bobo’s group-mates were extremely curious, but he kept them all at a distance, making sure that no one disturbed (打扰) his new friend,” another staff member said. “The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobo’s arms.”
28. What do we know about Bobo?
A. He lost a family member at age two.
B. He was born at a large sanctuary.
C. He protected his mother from poaching.
D. He was the first gorilla at Ape Action Africa.
29. What did the caretakers discover during their morning checks?
A. Bobo made a surprising new friend.
B. A bushbaby was lying beside Bobo.
C. Bobo jumped around with his friends.
D. A bushbaby returned to care for Bobo.
30. What might the underlined part “nocturnal animals” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. The animals that live in the bushes.
B. The animals that like to hunt alone.
C. The animals that hang with large animals.
D. The animals that rest during the daytime.
31. What was Bobo’s attitude towards those gorillas showing interest in the bushbaby?
A. Unselfish. B. Unfriendly. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了大猩猩Bobo和一只灌丛婴猴的友谊，以及它对待友谊的方式、态度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he was only two, after losing his mom due to poaching (偷猎).（这只巨大的雄性大猩猩在两岁时就来到了保护区，因为偷猎而失去了母亲）”可知，Bobo幼时失去了母亲。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第一句“While on their morning checks, the caretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual friend —a wild bushbaby.（在早上的检查中，看到Bobo和他最新的、最不寻常的朋友——一个灌丛婴猴——分享美好的时刻，管理员们简直不敢相信自己的眼睛）”可知，大猩猩Bobo交了新朋友。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段员工说的话“It is very uncommon to see a bushbaby during the day,（白天很少能看到灌丛婴猴）”可推测，这种动物习惯白天休息，不参与外界活动。由此猜测划线部分意为“夜行动物”，即野生灌丛婴猴通常是夜行动物。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“However, Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companion and he kept his group away from it.（然而，Bobo突然对它的小伙伴过度保护，让其他的大猩猩们远离它）”可知，Bobo不允许其他大猩猩接近这只灌丛婴猴，如果接近，那Bobo就不友好。故选B项。
D
A new study of older adults finds excessive daytime napping (小睡) may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: excessive daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.
“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and a consensus for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li of the Medical Biodynamics Program in Brigham’s Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders. “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.”
Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once and most of which were subjective and questionnaire-based. In the new study, more than 1000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After napping episodes were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated.
The results suggest that excessive daytime napping may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a sign of worsening or unfavored clinical progression of the disease.
Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.
“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”
32. What is the new study about?
A. The link between Alzheimer’s and daytime sleep.
B. Causes of sleep disorders in older adults.
C. The symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.
D. Ways to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
33. What does Peng Li’s team advocate?
A. Encouraging elders to get enough rest at night.
B. Monitoring elders’ sleep patterns throughout the day.
C. Investigating the health of elders with poor sleep.
D. Providing good health care for elders with Alzheimer’s.
34. How did researchers conduct the new study?
A. By interviewing a large number of older people.
B. By carrying out a survey with questionnaires.
C. By tracking sleep with a wearable device.
D. By referring to previous studies on Alzheimer’s.
35. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Advice on adjusting sleep patterns.
B. Supporting evidence for the research results.
C. The potential value of the study findings.
D. Limitations of the present research.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项对于老年人的新研究发现，白天过多的小睡可能预示着患老年痴呆的风险的增加。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: excessive daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging. (来自布里格姆妇女医院的研究人员报告了白天小睡和认知老化之间的关系：白天过多的小睡预示着患老年痴呆风险的增加，而老年痴呆病的诊断也会加速老年人白天小睡的增加)”可知，这项新的研究主要研究的是老年痴呆与白天小睡之间的联系。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.(我们的团队呼吁密切关注24小时睡眠模式——不仅是夜间睡眠，也包括白天睡眠——以跟踪老年人的健康状况)”可知，Li Peng的团队提倡全天监测老年人的睡眠模式。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.(我们的团队呼吁密切关注24小时睡眠模式——不仅是夜间睡眠，也包括白天睡眠——以跟踪老年人的健康状况)”和倒数第二段中的“Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring.(研究人员承认，尽管这项新研究的方法已经广泛应用于睡眠领域的研究，但他们也认识到，多导睡眠记录仪是睡眠评分的黄金标准)”可推知，研究人员通过使用可穿戴设备跟踪睡眠进行了新的研究。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.(研究人员承认，尽管这项新研究的方法已经广泛应用于睡眠领域的研究，但他们也认识到，多导睡眠记录仪是睡眠评分的黄金标准。此外，研究对象年龄较大，因此，研究结果可能不容易解释给年轻人。此外，未来的研究应该测试对白天小睡的直接干预是否能降低患老年痴呆症或认知能力下降的风险)”可知，第五段主要介绍了当前这项研究的局限性。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何讲述你的职业故事并且给出了相关的要求和规则。
【36题详解】
根据上文“I believe telling your story is one of the most important life skills because it is the moment when you commit to the change what you want to make in your life .”（我相信讲述自己的故事是最重要的生活技能之一，因为这是你致力于改变自己生活中想要的东西的时刻。）引出话题，提到讲述自己的故事。以及下文分别举出的几点要求和建议，可知空格处内容为有一些讲述故事的要求和规则。结合选项C项Here are some “rules” for telling your career story.（这里有一些讲述你的职业故事的“规则”。）符合此推断，起到承上启下的过渡作用。故选C项。
【37题详解】
上文“Don’t hold back, go for it!”（不要退缩，大胆去做吧！）说明要勇敢去做。下文“not what you are doing right now.”（不是你现在在做什么。）否定现在所做的事情。故可推断空格处内容为专注于想要做的事情。结合选项B项Focus on where you want your life to go.（专注于你想要的生活。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，下文是空格处内容的补充说明。故选B项。
【38题详解】
下文“if they believe your intentions are reliable. ”（如果他们相信你的意图是可靠的）提到假设情况之后的结果。结合选项G项People will be more engaged and even more motivated to offer you help.（人们将更多地参与和更主动地为你提供帮助。）即是这种假设成立后的积极结果，其中 offer you help与下文的reliable一致。故选G项。
【39题详解】
由空格处的问号可知，该句应为问句，故在AD选项中选出其一。通过下文“Your past experiences have value. They provided you with marketable skills that you can use in new ways to support your new work. They are part of your new story. When you talk to someone about what you want to do, share how your past experiences make you uniquely qualified to do it. How did they lead you here to take this next step?”（你过去的经历很有价值。它们为你提供了适合市场的技能，你可以用新的方式来支持你的新工作。他们是你新故事的一部分。当你和别人谈论你想做什么时，分享一下你过去的经历是如何让你有资格做这件事的。它们是怎么让你走到这一步的？）说明要展示你过去的经历以及你独特的资格。结合选项A项How are you uniquely qualified.（你如何做到独一无二）为总结该段的内容，与下文意思一致。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“My work at dot-coms helped me understand the possibilities of the digital media.”（例如，我在CBS新闻的工作帮助我讲故事。）以及下文“My work as an entrepreneur helped me understand how to build communities.”（作为一名企业家，我的工作帮助我理解了如何建立社区。）可知，都分别举例介绍自己的经历，故可推断空格处内容也应为说明自己的具体经历。和上下文构成并列关系，为共同组成举出的三个例子。结合选项F项My work as a sales trainer taught me how to inspire people to change.（销售培训师的工作教会了我如何激励人们做出改变。）可知，为工作经历例子的其一，符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

Water shortage is one of the ____56____ (great) crises facing us today, with two thirds of the global population living in areas ____57____ water is scarce(稀缺的) for a month or more every year. There are two contributing factors ____58____ this problem: increasing global demand for water, and unsustainable means by which these demands are being met. Yet, despite global water usage already increasing threefold (三倍) over the last fifty years, it ____59____ (predict) that there will be a further 60%-100% increase in water usage by 2050.
This is not just ____60____ matter of turning the tap off when you brush your ____61____ (tooth), cutting your showers down to 3 minutes, or sharing the washing-load with your flatmates. In fact, daily activities of human make up less than 4% of our total water consumption, with the remaining 92% ____62____ (fall) into two ‘invisible’ categories: the industrial production of household items, and the production of food. Astonishingly, 69% of our total daily water consumption comes from the ____63____ (grow) and production of food alone.
____64____ (unfortunate), there is no single go-to reference book for the exact number of liters used in the production of any individual food item. This is a hard pill to swallow, for we have other factors _____65_____ (consider) when weighing up the benefits of every food choice: taste, cost and convenience.
【答案】56. greatest
57. where 58. to
59. is predicted
60. a 61. teeth
62. falling
63. growth 64. Unfortunately
65. to consider
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过分析生活和工业生产两方面的用水量来说明水资源短缺这一问题的紧迫性。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：水资源短缺是我们今天面临的最大危机之一。one of +the +形容词最高级+名词复数是英语中最高级的固定搭配，表示“……是……中最……之一”，故空处需要填形容词最高级。提示词为great，其最高级形式为greatest。故填greatest。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：全球三分之二的人口每年有一个月或更长时间生活在缺水地区。空前为先行词areas“地区”，在定语从句中作地点状语，此处需要填关系副词where表地点。故填where。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：造成这一问题的因素有两个：全球对水的需求不断增加，以及满足这些需求的不可持续的手段。固定用法the factor to sth.表示“……的因素”，其中to为介词。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查动词。句意：然而，尽管全球用水量在过去五十年中已经增长了三倍，但据预测，到2050年，全球用水量将进一步增长60%-100%。分析句子成分可知，it作形式主语，代后面的从句。从句中提到的内容和predict“预测”是动宾关系，即被动；根据全文可知，时态为一般现在时。故填is predicted。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这不仅仅是刷牙时关上水龙头，把洗澡时间缩短到3分钟，或者和你的室友一起洗衣服的事情了。固定短语a matter of意为“只是……的问题而已”，符合句意。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：这不仅仅是刷牙时关上水龙头，把洗澡时间缩短到3分钟，或者和你的室友一起洗衣服的事情了。提示词tooth意为“牙齿”，是可数名词，刷牙需要用到复数形式。故填teeth。
【62题详解】
考查独立主格结构。句意：事实上，人类的日常活动只占我们总用水量的不到4%，剩下的92%落在两个“看不见的”类别：家庭用品的工业生产和食品的生产。固定短语fall into意为“落入、分成”，与the remaining 92%为主谓关系，故用现在分词形式表主动。故填falling。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：令人惊讶的是，我们每天总用水量的69%仅来自于食物的生长和生产。根据空前定冠词the和空后and production并列名词可知，空处需要填名词。提示词为动词grow，其名词形式为growth。故填growth。
64题详解】
考查副词。句意：不幸的是，目前还没有一本参考书可以详细说明生产任何一种食品所需的确切公升数。分析句子可知，空处需要填一个副词来修饰整个句子，提示词unfortunate是形容词，表示“不幸的”，副词形式为unfortunately，放在句首需要大写字母“U”。故填Unfortunately。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一颗难以下咽的药丸，因为我们在权衡每种食物选择的好处时还有其他因素要考虑，例如味道、成本和便利性。分析句子成分可知，is为谓语动词，故空处需要填非谓语动词的形式。根据句意，空处需要表达“要考虑”，即表将来，故用consider的不定式形式表将来。并且have sth. to do为固定用法表示“有……要……”，符合句意。故填to consider。

【答案】参考范文
With the development of society, water pollution is getting more and more serious. There are many reasons contributing to this problem.
As can be easily seen from the chart, half of the water pollution is caused by factories. 35% comes from agriculture while only 5% is from our families. Other reasons which result in this pollution account for 10%. Polluted water bodies not only do harm to animals and plants, they also have a long-lasting effect on humans.
We should take some measures to fight against water pollution. First of all, we must draw public attention to the problem. Besides, more strict laws should be passed to help reduce water pollution. All in all, only when everybody takes action to stop the pollution will the problem be solved.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A young boy loved football with all his heart. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, he hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father. Even though the son was always on the bench during games, his father was always in the stands(看台)cheering.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. His father continued to encourage him. The young man was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice or a game, but remained a bench-warmer all four years.
His father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. This persistent young athlete never missed practice. but he never got to play in a game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he was practising for the game on Saturday, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and became completely silent. Struggling to speak, he said to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today’’
The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.’’ Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. When the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football uniform. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右

“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,’’ said the young man.

【答案】参考范文
Paragraph 1:
“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. “All right, you can go in.” Before long, no one could believe their eyes. This young man was doing everything right. The other team could not stop him. His team won the game.
Paragraph 2:
After the team had left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?” He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了一位身材比较矮小的男孩酷爱足球，可是一直没有机会去上场踢球，但是他的父亲一直在他的身边陪伴着他。他一直坚持不懈的参加训练，但从未参加过比赛，听到父亲去世的消息，男孩坚持上场比赛，教练同情他，给了他一个上场的机会。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘教练，让我上场吧。我今天一定要赢，’年轻人说。”可知，第一段可描写这个年轻人坚持上场并赢得了比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“队员们离开更衣室后，教练注意到这个年轻人独自静静地坐在角落里。”可知，第二段可描写年轻人坚持上场赢得比赛，是因为他觉得爸爸在天上看着自己踢球。
2.续写线索：坚持上场——教练让步——赢得比赛——教练夸赞——解释坚持上场原因
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.坚持：persist/insist
②.让步：give in/ make a concession/ come to terms
③.表明：show/ indicate

More than 40 years ago, my seventh grade English teacher by telling us that we were absolutely not allowed to read “The Catcher the Rye” because we weren’t “ready” for it. So naturally we all went out and read it immediately.
I told this story to my son when he was a seventh grader. I meant it as a funny story, and I pointed out that it had taken me years to appreciate that teacher’s pedagogic strategy. But then my son read the book himself right away. The mere long-ago echoo (回音) of a possible ban was enough to breathe life to his reading.
Adults have been known to worry a great deal about the possible destructive influence of the publishing world on children. If you look at the list of “frequently challenged children’s books” maintained by the American Library Association Office of Intellectual Freedom, you will see a wide range of touchy topics.
Books can get challenged because they involve magic (Philip Pullman, J.K. Rowling), or because they offend (冒犯) religious sensibilities. “A Wrinkle in Time”, by Madeleine L’Engle, has been challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious. Some books are challenged because they describe children behaving, well, childishly. (Junie B. Jones, the heroine of a series of books by Barbara Park, gets in trouble for using words like “stupid”.) So adults worry that books may be bad for children’s morals and for their manners.
In fact, banned book lists can be a great resource for parents looking for books that teach kids about the world and themselves.
When your children read books that have been challenged or banned, you have a double opportunity as a parent: you can discuss the books themselves, and the information they provide, and you can also talk about why people might find them troubling.
24. What was the author’s teacher’s pedagogic strategy?
A. Listing banned books. B. Hiding banned books.
C. Arousing the students’curiosity. D. Telling some funny stories.nours.
25. Who probably wrote something challenging religion?
A. J.K. Rowling. B. Madeleine L’Engle.
C. Junie B.Jones. D. Barbara Park.
26. What does the author advise parents to do?
A. Involve themselves in reading.
B. Let children make their own choices.
C. Choose books for their children.
D. Observe their children’s behavior closely.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Not All Challenged Books Are Bad
B. A Good Book Is a Light to the Soul
C. Parents Should Respect Children’s Choice
D. Banned or Not Banned-That Is the Question!
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中作者通过自己40多年前阅读禁书的经历，提出了怎样引导孩子阅读禁书的建议。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“More than 40 years ago, my seventh grade English teacher by telling us that we were absolutely not allowed to read “The Catcher the Rye” because we weren’t “ready” for it. So naturally we all went out and read it immediately. (40多年前，我七年级英语老师告诉我们，我们绝对不能读《麦田守望者》，因为我们还没有“准备好”。所以很自然地，我们都立刻跑出去读了它。)”可知明明老师说他们绝对不能读这本书，但是越是这样，学生们越觉得好奇，所以都跑出去买这本书来读了，故推知老师这样做是为了激发学生们的好奇心，达到了好的效果，故这是老师的教学策略；故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段““A Wrinkle in Time”, by Madeleine L’Engle, has been challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious. (Madeleine L’Engle的《时间的皱折》因过度虔诚和不够虔诚而受到质疑。)”可知是Madeleine L’Engle写的书冒犯了宗教的情感，即挑战了宗教；故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When your children read books that have been challenged or banned, you have a double opportunity as a parent: you can discuss the books themselves, and the information they provide, and you can also talk about why people might find them troubling. (当你的孩子阅读受到质疑或被禁止的书籍时，作为家长，你有双重机会：你可以讨论这些书本身，以及它们提供的信息，你也可以谈论为什么人们会觉得它们很麻烦。)”可知提到让家长讨论这些书本身或它们所提供的信息，也可以谈论为什么人们会质疑或者其被禁止，前提是家长们自己必须先参与阅读这些书籍，才能谈论；故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者40多年前阅读禁书的经历，也列举了一些书被禁止和质疑的原因，然后提出禁书是一个很好的资源这样一个观点，也给出了引导孩子阅读禁书的建议，也就是说不能因为是禁书就绝对不能让孩子阅读，只要有好的引导就可以，即本文对禁与不禁的问题作了讨论；故选项D“Banned or Not Banned-That Is the Question! (禁止还是不禁止——这是个问题！)”适合作为本文标题；故选D项。
C
When it comes to unlikely friendships, wildlife never stops to amaze. And a giant 450-pound gorilla (大猩猩) sharing a heart-warming moment with a 0.5-pound wild bushbaby (灌丛婴猴) is definitely an unusual sight to be seen.
Over 300 rescued animals live at Ape Action Africa, Cameroon — a sanctuary (鸟兽保护区) for endangered animals like gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys. Bobo, a western lowland gorilla, is among the first residents at the sanctuary. The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he was only two, after losing his mom due to poaching (偷猎). And back then, Bobo was far from the strong male he’s now.
Even though he’s such a fearless animal, Bobo is nothing but a gentle giant. And recently, his gentleness even blew away the caretakers at the sanctuary. While on their morning checks, the caretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual friend —a wild bushbaby.
It’s quite amazing to watch the tiny animal interacting in such a friendly manner with its giant neighbor. “The bushbaby showed no fear of Bobo,”said Elissa O’Sullivan, spokesperson for Ape Action Africa. “He moved around Bobo’s body and spent his time jumping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”
Wild bushbabies are normally nocturnal animals, so watching a bushbaby hanging with a group of gorillas in full daylight was even more amazing for the caretakers. “It is very uncommon to see a bushbaby during the day,” a staff member said. “We have never seen a wild animal interacting with a rescued one at the sanctuary.”
The other gorillas —three females and three young males, soon became very interested in Bobo’s new friend. However, Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companion and he kept his group away from it. “Bobo’s group-mates were extremely curious, but he kept them all at a distance, making sure that no one disturbed (打扰) his new friend,” another staff member said. “The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobo’s arms.”
28. What do we know about Bobo?
A. He lost a family member at age two.
B. He was born at a large sanctuary.
C. He protected his mother from poaching.
D. He was the first gorilla at Ape Action Africa.
29. What did the caretakers discover during their morning checks?
A. Bobo made a surprising new friend.
B. A bushbaby was lying beside Bobo.
C. Bobo jumped around with his friends.
D. A bushbaby returned to care for Bobo.
30. What might the underlined part “nocturnal animals” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. The animals that live in the bushes.
B. The animals that like to hunt alone.
C. The animals that hang with large animals.
D. The animals that rest during the daytime.
31. What was Bobo’s attitude towards those gorillas showing interest in the bushbaby?
A. Unselfish. B. Unfriendly. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了大猩猩Bobo和一只灌丛婴猴的友谊，以及它对待友谊的方式、态度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he was only two, after losing his mom due to poaching (偷猎).（这只巨大的雄性大猩猩在两岁时就来到了保护区，因为偷猎而失去了母亲）”可知，Bobo幼时失去了母亲。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第一句“While on their morning checks, the caretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual friend —a wild bushbaby.（在早上的检查中，看到Bobo和他最新的、最不寻常的朋友——一个灌丛婴猴——分享美好的时刻，管理员们简直不敢相信自己的眼睛）”可知，大猩猩Bobo交了新朋友。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段员工说的话“It is very uncommon to see a bushbaby during the day,（白天很少能看到灌丛婴猴）”可推测，这种动物习惯白天休息，不参与外界活动。由此猜测划线部分意为“夜行动物”，即野生灌丛婴猴通常是夜行动物。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“However, Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companion and he kept his group away from it.（然而，Bobo突然对它的小伙伴过度保护，让其他的大猩猩们远离它）”可知，Bobo不允许其他大猩猩接近这只灌丛婴猴，如果接近，那Bobo就不友好。故选B项。
D
A new study of older adults finds excessive daytime napping (小睡) may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: excessive daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.
“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and a consensus for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li of the Medical Biodynamics Program in Brigham’s Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders. “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.”
Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once and most of which were subjective and questionnaire-based. In the new study, more than 1000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After napping episodes were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated.
The results suggest that excessive daytime napping may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a sign of worsening or unfavored clinical progression of the disease.
Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.
“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”
32. What is the new study about?
A. The link between Alzheimer’s and daytime sleep.
B. Causes of sleep disorders in older adults.
C. The symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.
D. Ways to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
33. What does Peng Li’s team advocate?
A. Encouraging elders to get enough rest at night.
B. Monitoring elders’ sleep patterns throughout the day.
C. Investigating the health of elders with poor sleep.
D. Providing good health care for elders with Alzheimer’s.
34. How did researchers conduct the new study?
A. By interviewing a large number of older people.
B. By carrying out a survey with questionnaires.
C. By tracking sleep with a wearable device.
D. By referring to previous studies on Alzheimer’s.
35. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Advice on adjusting sleep patterns.
B. Supporting evidence for the research results.
C. The potential value of the study findings.
D. Limitations of the present research.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项对于老年人的新研究发现，白天过多的小睡可能预示着患老年痴呆的风险的增加。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: excessive daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging. (来自布里格姆妇女医院的研究人员报告了白天小睡和认知老化之间的关系：白天过多的小睡预示着患老年痴呆风险的增加，而老年痴呆病的诊断也会加速老年人白天小睡的增加)”可知，这项新的研究主要研究的是老年痴呆与白天小睡之间的联系。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.(我们的团队呼吁密切关注24小时睡眠模式——不仅是夜间睡眠，也包括白天睡眠——以跟踪老年人的健康状况)”可知，Li Peng的团队提倡全天监测老年人的睡眠模式。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.(我们的团队呼吁密切关注24小时睡眠模式——不仅是夜间睡眠，也包括白天睡眠——以跟踪老年人的健康状况)”和倒数第二段中的“Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring.(研究人员承认，尽管这项新研究的方法已经广泛应用于睡眠领域的研究，但他们也认识到，多导睡眠记录仪是睡眠评分的黄金标准)”可推知，研究人员通过使用可穿戴设备跟踪睡眠进行了新的研究。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.(研究人员承认，尽管这项新研究的方法已经广泛应用于睡眠领域的研究，但他们也认识到，多导睡眠记录仪是睡眠评分的黄金标准。此外，研究对象年龄较大，因此，研究结果可能不容易解释给年轻人。此外，未来的研究应该测试对白天小睡的直接干预是否能降低患老年痴呆症或认知能力下降的风险)”可知，第五段主要介绍了当前这项研究的局限性。故选D。

This is not just ____60____ matter of turning the tap off when you brush your ____61____ (tooth), cutting your showers down to 3 minutes, or sharing the washing-load with your flatmates. In fact, daily activities of human make up less than 4% of our total water consumption, with the remaining 92% ____62____ (fall) into two ‘invisible’ categories: the industrial production of household items, and the production of food. Astonishingly, 69% of our total daily water consumption comes from the ____63____ (grow) and production of food alone.
____64____ (unfortunate), there is no single go-to reference book for the exact number of liters used in the production of any individual food item.

57. where 58. to
59. is predicted

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过分析生活和工业生产两方面的用水量来说明水资源短缺这一问题的紧迫性。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：水资源短缺是我们今天面临的最大危机之一。one of +the +形容词最高级+名词复数是英语中最高级的固定搭配，表示“……是……中最……之一”，故空处需要填形容词最高级。提示词为great，其最高级形式为greatest。故填greatest。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：全球三分之二的人口每年有一个月或更长时间生活在缺水地区。空前为先行词areas“地区”，在定语从句中作地点状语，此处需要填关系副词where表地点。故填where。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：造成这一问题的因素有两个：全球对水的需求不断增加，以及满足这些需求的不可持续的手段。固定用法the factor to sth.表示“……的因素”，其中to为介词。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查动词。句意：然而，尽管全球用水量在过去五十年中已经增长了三倍，但据预测，到2050年，全球用水量将进一步增长60%-100%。分析句子成分可知，it作形式主语，代后面的从句。从句中提到的内容和predict“预测”是动宾关系，即被动；根据全文可知，时态为一般现在时。故填is predicted。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这不仅仅是刷牙时关上水龙头，把洗澡时间缩短到3分钟，或者和你的室友一起洗衣服的事情了。固定短语a matter of意为“只是……的问题而已”，符合句意。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：这不仅仅是刷牙时关上水龙头，把洗澡时间缩短到3分钟，或者和你的室友一起洗衣服的事情了。提示词tooth意为“牙齿”，是可数名词，刷牙需要用到复数形式。故填teeth。
【62题详解】
考查独立主格结构。句意：事实上，人类的日常活动只占我们总用水量的不到4%，剩下的92%落在两个“看不见的”类别：家庭用品的工业生产和食品的生产。固定短语fall into意为“落入、分成”，与the remaining 92%为主谓关系，故用现在分词形式表主动。故填falling。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：令人惊讶的是，我们每天总用水量的69%仅来自于食物的生长和生产。根据空前定冠词the和空后and production并列名词可知，空处需要填名词。提示词为动词grow，其名词形式为growth。故填growth。
64题详解】
考查副词。句意：不幸的是，目前还没有一本参考书可以详细说明生产任何一种食品所需的确切公升数。分析句子可知，空处需要填一个副词来修饰整个句子，提示词unfortunate是形容词，表示“不幸的”，副词形式为unfortunately，放在句首需要大写字母“U”。故填Unfortunately。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一颗难以下咽的药丸，因为我们在权衡每种食物选择的好处时还有其他因素要考虑，例如味道、成本和便利性。分析句子成分可知，is为谓语动词，故空处需要填非谓语动词的形式。根据句意，空处需要表达“要考虑”，即表将来，故用consider的不定式形式表将来。并且have sth. to do为固定用法表示“有……要……”，符合句意。故填to consider。

With the development of society, water pollution is getting more and more serious. There are many reasons contributing to this problem.
As can be easily seen from the chart, half of the water pollution is caused by factories. 35% comes from agriculture while only 5% is from our families. Other reasons which result in this pollution account for 10%. Polluted water bodies not only do harm to animals and plants, they also have a long-lasting effect on humans.
We should take some measures to fight against water pollution. First of all, we must draw public attention to the problem. Besides, more strict laws should be passed to help reduce water pollution. All in all, only when everybody takes action to stop the pollution will the problem be solved.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A young boy loved football with all his heart. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, he hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father. Even though the son was always on the bench during games, his father was always in the stands(看台)cheering.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. His father continued to encourage him. The young man was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice or a game, but remained a bench-warmer all four years.
His father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. This persistent young athlete never missed practice. but he never got to play in a game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he was practising for the game on Saturday, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and became completely silent. Struggling to speak, he said to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today’’
The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.’’ Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. When the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football uniform. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右

“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,’’ said the young man.

【答案】参考范文
Paragraph 1:
“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. “All right, you can go in.” Before long, no one could believe their eyes. This young man was doing everything right. The other team could not stop him. His team won the game.
Paragraph 2:
After the team had left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?” He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”
