At 74 James Patterson has sold more than 425 million copies of his 200 novels globally, making him one of the highest paid authors in the world. “I do not work for a living. I play for a living. I love doing it,” Patterson tells CNBC. But Patterson’s road to success didn’t happen overnight. He started writing as a side hustle and he faced a lot of rejection before getting his first book published.
Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother. Despite having dreams of being a writer, the idea “always seemed presumptuous”, Patterson says. But after reading books by James Joyce, “it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing,” he says.
After college, Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. While climbing the corporate ladder, Patterson wrote his first book, The Thomas Berryman Number in the mid-70s. The book “got turned down by 31 publishers”, Patterson says. But after it was finally published in 1976, “then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel.” The Edgar Award, which is named after Edgar Alan Poe, honors the best writers in mystery fiction and non-fiction.
Despite publishing his first book at age 26, Patterson didn’t have a bestseller until he was 40. “It wasn’t like all of a sudden,” he says. In fact, Patterson kept his day job for decades and got promoted to CEO of J. Walter Thompson in 1988. During that time, Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity. “I have a huge imagination and I’m constantly asking, what about this? What about that?” he says.
Despite his success, Patterson says he doesn’t like to give advice, especially about writing. But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion. “I also don’t take myself too seriously,” he says. “Yeah, I sell a lot of books, so what?”
4. What do we know about James Patterson?
A. He produced a bestseller when he was 26.
B. He read a lot of books to get source of inspiration.
C. He worked as a full-time writer when he was young.
D. He got inspiration for his first book when climbing a ladder.
5. What does the underlined word “presumptuous” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Unrealistic. B. Contradictory. C. Imaginative. D. Inspiring.
6. What can we infer about James Patterson from the last paragraph?
A. He has sold a lot of books. B. He doesn’t take his job seriously.
C. He values positive attitudes to work. D. He is unwilling to give advice to readers.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret to Career Success B. A Tough Road to a Bestseller Writer
C. An Edgar Award Winner D. A Not-to-be-missed Fiction
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了畅销书作者James Patterson的相关事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句提到“Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity”（帕特森说，在那段时间里，他每年会阅读超过100本书，以发自己的创造力)可知，Patterson通过大量的阅读来获取灵感。故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。第二段第一句“Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother.”（帕特森在纽约纽堡的树林中长大，父亲是保险推销员，母亲是教师)和该段最后一句“it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing”(读了James Joyce的书之后，它真的让我对阅读产生了兴趣，然后我开始写作)推知，在这样一个父母工作比较稳定的家庭里，作家这个职业相对有些不切实际、不稳定。A.Unrealistic不现实的；B.Contradictory相反的；C Imaginative充满想象力的；D.Inspiring鼓舞人心的。A项符合文意。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段最后两句提到“But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion.“I also don’t take myself too seriously” he says.“Yeah, I sell a lot of books. so what? （但他将自己的成功归功于自己的职业道德和激情。“我也不太把自己当回事，”他说。“是啊，我卖了很多书，那又怎样?”）可知，Patterson认为是自己对于写作的积极态度才取得了成功。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。综合文章内容可知，第二段提到Patterson最开始成为作家的梦想是“不切实际的”，第三段提到了Patterson在成为作家之前的工作经历，并且为了写作每年要看一百多本书的积累。虽然Patterson在26岁时就发表了自己的第一本书，但是在他40岁的时候才成为一名畅销书作家。由此判断，Patterson成为作家的道路并不是一帆风顺的。B项“成为畅销书作家的艰难之路”，符合文意。故选B。
【点睛】
C
What makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as uniquely human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social- group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families- grandmother, mother, and daughter - all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
8. The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they ________.
A. are not easy to fool
B. prefer fruit to vegetables
C. have a special taste for food
D. have an awareness of equality
9. What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?
A. Social interaction. B. Intelligence.
C. Tool using ability. D. Fun-loving spirits.
10. What makes dolphin culture special?
A. They tend to hunt in groups.
B. Their hunting skills are passed down.
C. Their learning environment is favourable.
D. Their families are typically female-controlled.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D. Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.
【答案】8 D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了是什么让人类如此特别? 工具使用、自我意识、语言和文化都排在前列，但事实上，所有这些特征都可以在动物王国的其他地方找到，并以海豚为例，说明了海豚文化和海豚的心智技能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes.”（人类和猿类是近亲，所以黑猩猩会使用工具或者大猩猩有公平竞争的意识也就不足为奇了，当它们看到自己的邻居拿葡萄时，它们甚至会拒绝胡萝卜(它们通常会接受)）可知大猩猩拒绝胡萝卜的例子表明它们有平等意识。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social- group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.”（在无脊椎动物中，章鱼以它们的智力而闻名，甚至显示出顽皮、使用工具和个性的证据。 但这些熟练的捕食者独自生活，因此缺乏文化。 另一方面，海豚是脑容量大、寿命长、以社会群体为基础的掠食者，正是在这里，我们发现了它们与类人文化和意识的最大相似之处）可知和海豚相比，章鱼缺少社会互动。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families- grandmother, mother, and daughter - all feeding in this highly specialized way.”（从这个意义上说，许多动物都有文化，但让海豚与众不同的是它们传承的文化。 一些宽吻海豚嘴里衔着海绵，它们用海绵作为工具来清扫躲藏在海底的鱼类。 这种能力代代相传(尤其是雌性)，一些家庭——祖母、母亲和女儿——都以这种高度专门化的方式喂养 ）可知让海豚文化如此特别的是它们的狩猎技巧代代相传。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.”（海豚不仅能认出自己，而且如果海豚身上有一个黑色的标记，它会花额外的时间在镜子前看这个标记）可推知海豚识别自己倒影的能力是一种更高阶的心智技能。 故选D。
D
If you grew up in a household that had its fair share of book shelves, it might say something positive about your personally now that you're all grown up.
This new study found that people who grew up in book filled homes have higher reading, math, and technological skills. The researchers analyzed data featuring 160,000 adults (ages 25 to 65) across 31 nations. All participants were asked how many books there were in their home when they were 16 years old. They chose from a series of alternatives ranging from “10 or less” to “more than 500.”
If a household held at least 80 books, then participants went on to display the average rate of literacy and numeracy(认字和计算). The rate of literacy continued to increase in parallel to the number of books a household contained until the rate didn't increase from 350 books onwards. Furthermore, young teenagers who grew up around books were shown to have the same levels of literacy and numeracy as university graduates who had only grown up around a few books.
Literacy was clarified as “the ability to read effectively to participate in society and achieve personal goals.” Participants took tests that “captured ' a range of basic through advanced comprehension skills, from reading brief texts for a single piece of information to synthesizing information from complex texts.” Numeracy tests measured the “ability to use mathematical concepts in everyday life,” while IT-related tests “assessed the ability to, use digital. technology to communicate with others, as well as to gather, analyze, and synthesize information.”
The results suggest those books made a long-term difference. “Growing up with home libraries improves adult skills in these areas beyond the benefits from parental education or one’s own educational attainment, “the researchers report. Not surprisingly, the biggest effect was on reading ability. “The total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere,” the researchers report.
12. What can we learn from the new study?
A. Homes filled with books do much benefit to one’s growth.
B One’s literacy and numeracy are finally shaped at the age of 16.
C. All participants need to have ten to more than 500 books at home.
D. Those reading a lot are more competent than university graduates.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The benefit of literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
B. The measurement of literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
C. The relation between literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
D. The difference between literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
14. According to the text, books influence one's_________ most.
A. parental education. B. occupational attainment.
C. calculating ability. D. reading ability.
15. What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?
A. To describe the importance of receiving good education.
B. To clarify the effect of home library size on one's adult skills.
C. To explain the necessity of acquiring literacy and numeracy.
D. To introduce methods of improving one's literacy and numeracy.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新研究发现，在书堆里长大的人具有更高的阅读、数学和技术技能。文章对读写、计算和IT能力的衡量标准进行了说明，研究还表明书对人有长期的影响且对人阅读能力影响最大。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中This new study found that people who grew up in book filled homes have higher reading, math, and technological skills.可知这项新研究发现，在书堆里长大的人具有更高的阅读、数学和技术技能。由此可知，新研究表明充满书籍的家庭对一个人的成长有很大的好处。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中Literacy was clarified as “the ability to read effectively to participate in society and achieve personal goals.”(识字能力被定义为“有效阅读以参与社会和实现个人目标的能力”)以及Numeracy tests measured the “ability to use mathematical concepts in everyday life,” while IT-related tests “assessed the ability to, use digital. technology to communicate with others, as well as to gather, analyze, and synthesize information.”(数学测试测评的是“在日常生活中使用数学概念的能力”，而与信息技术相关的测试则是“评估使用数字技术与他人交流的能力，以及收集、分析和综合信息的能力”)由此可知，第4段主要讲了对读写、计算和IT能力的衡量标准。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Not surprisingly, the biggest effect was on reading ability.可知不出意料，影响最大的是阅读能力。由此可知，书对人的阅读能力影响最大。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere,” the researchers report.可知“家庭图书馆规模对识字率的总体影响在任何地方都是巨大的，”研究人员报告说。结合文章主要说明了一项新研究发现，在书堆里长大的人具有更高的阅读、数学和技术技能。文章对读写、计算和IT能力的衡量标准进行了说明，研究还表明书对人有长期的影响且对人阅读能力影响最大。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是阐明家庭图书馆的大小对一个人的成人技能的影响。故选B。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。
If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. ____16____, creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?
Why does a mosquito bite itch?
When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva (唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. ____17____. It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.
What helps resist the urge to scratch?
“Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames (发炎) the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. “____18____,” warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.
Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedy (疗法). Choose what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. ____19____.
____20____
Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, Vosshall said. If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately.
A. In fact, the best remedy to fight the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place
B. Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the irritation
C. The little red bumps swell up almost immediately
D. The bites will definitely cause severe allergies
E. It’s not the bite that causes the itch
F. What to do with a mosquito bite?
G. When to seek medical attention?
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了被蚊子叮咬后，如何处置。
【16题详解】
上文“If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. (如果你曾经被蚊子咬过，你知道它们的叮咬是多么令人瘙痒)”说明被蚊子叮咬后是非常难受的，选项C“红色的小肿块几乎立即膨胀起来”承接上文，具体描述被蚊虫叮咬后的结果，连接下文“creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse (一旦你开始抓挠，情况只会变得更糟)”说明被咬后的膨胀起来的红色肿块一旦抓挠，情况会更糟糕。故选C项。
【17题详解】
下文“It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. (这实际上是人体试图对抗外来的蚊子蛋白质的反应)”讲述的是导致瘙痒的实际原因，选项E“不是被咬导致瘙痒”也涉及了导致瘙痒的原因，说明不是因为被咬就导致瘙痒。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves. (并补充说，在极端情况下，人们会留下疤痕)”讲述的是抓伤造成的后果，选项B“抓伤可导致继发感染并延长刺激时间”也是在讲述抓伤可能导致的后果。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文“In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. (总的来说，所有的各种止痒霜都非常相似。没有科学证据表明这些疗法有效，而且它们可能有自己的预防措施或副作用)”说明各种止痒霜未必有疗效，还可能有副作用，选项A“事实上，对抗瘙痒的最好方法是从一开始就防止被咬”承接上文，说明预防是最好的方法。上文和选项均和对抗瘙痒的方法有关。故选A项。
【20题详解】
下文“If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately. (如果你出现呼吸困难等严重症状，应立即就医)”说明本段建议如果情况严重应立即就医，选项G“何时就医？”符合本段主题，适合做小标题。故选G项。

47. 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。
My father and I disagreed about my curfew (晚间在家的时间). He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction, it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back, I got everything prepared. When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously stepped the floor, another half hour passed. That was when I got really angry. How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However, when another half an hour passed, my anger turned to fear. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident, or something else? I began to get really worried, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. I had already called his cell phone about ten times, but there was no answer.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened. Suddenly, the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and picked the receiver up, it was my dad. From the other end of the phone came my father’s voice. He said breathlessly, “Son, I am so sorry about the football game, but …there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I stopped to help the injured and ended up going to the hospital. I left my phone in the car, so I couldn’t call you until now.”
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I was so relieved to hear from my father. Having learnt that he was safe, I burst into tears. It was at that moment that I had a full understanding of the importance of a curfew. Since then, I have been insisting on checking in! For me, it’s about knowing that someone I love is safe. It is also one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.
【解析】
【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一直不同意爸爸规定的他晚上在家时间，但是爸爸认为这是人们彼此关心的一种方式。在一个周五，他和爸爸打算一起去看足球比赛，但是在这之前爸爸要先去见一些重要的客户。作者在家准备好了一切等着爸爸回来后可以立即出发，但是他等了很久，作者先是觉得烦躁，后来觉得着急，再后来就是生气，可是，又过了很久，作者开始担心起爸爸，感觉如坐针毡，他开始不断给爸爸打电话，但是无人接听。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我心烦意乱，以为最坏的情况已经发生了。”可知，第一段可描写作者接到爸爸电话，了解爸爸到底发生了什么事。
②由第二段首句内容“我心中的大石头终于落地了。”可知，第二段可描写作者知道了爸爸的情况，如释重负，同时理解了晚间在家时间的重要性，也理解了爸爸的爱。
2.续写线索：接到爸爸电话——了解爸爸帮助事故受伤人员——如释重负——理解了爸爸的之前的行为和爱——以后准时回家报到

At 74 James Patterson has sold more than 425 million copies of his 200 novels globally, making him one of the highest paid authors in the world. “I do not work for a living. I play for a living. I love doing it,” Patterson tells CNBC. But Patterson’s road to success didn’t happen overnight. He started writing as a side hustle and he faced a lot of rejection before getting his first book published.
Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother. Despite having dreams of being a writer, the idea “always seemed presumptuous”, Patterson says. But after reading books by James Joyce, “it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing,” he says.
After college, Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. While climbing the corporate ladder, Patterson wrote his first book, The Thomas Berryman Number in the mid-70s. The book “got turned down by 31 publishers”, Patterson says. But after it was finally published in 1976, “then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel.” The Edgar Award, which is named after Edgar Alan Poe, honors the best writers in mystery fiction and non-fiction.
Despite publishing his first book at age 26, Patterson didn’t have a bestseller until he was 40. “It wasn’t like all of a sudden,” he says. In fact, Patterson kept his day job for decades and got promoted to CEO of J. Walter Thompson in 1988. During that time, Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity. “I have a huge imagination and I’m constantly asking, what about this? What about that?” he says.
Despite his success, Patterson says he doesn’t like to give advice, especially about writing. But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion. “I also don’t take myself too seriously,” he says. “Yeah, I sell a lot of books, so what?”
4. What do we know about James Patterson?
A. He produced a bestseller when he was 26.
B. He read a lot of books to get source of inspiration.
C. He worked as a full-time writer when he was young.
D. He got inspiration for his first book when climbing a ladder.
5. What does the underlined word “presumptuous” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Unrealistic. B. Contradictory. C. Imaginative. D. Inspiring.
6. What can we infer about James Patterson from the last paragraph?
A. He has sold a lot of books. B. He doesn’t take his job seriously.
C. He values positive attitudes to work. D. He is unwilling to give advice to readers.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret to Career Success B. A Tough Road to a Bestseller Writer
C. An Edgar Award Winner D. A Not-to-be-missed Fiction
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了畅销书作者James Patterson的相关事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句提到“Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity”（帕特森说，在那段时间里，他每年会阅读超过100本书，以发自己的创造力)可知，Patterson通过大量的阅读来获取灵感。故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。第二段第一句“Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother.”（帕特森在纽约纽堡的树林中长大，父亲是保险推销员，母亲是教师)和该段最后一句“it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing”(读了James Joyce的书之后，它真的让我对阅读产生了兴趣，然后我开始写作)推知，在这样一个父母工作比较稳定的家庭里，作家这个职业相对有些不切实际、不稳定。A.Unrealistic不现实的；B.Contradictory相反的；C Imaginative充满想象力的；D.Inspiring鼓舞人心的。A项符合文意。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段最后两句提到“But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion.“I also don’t take myself too seriously” he says.“Yeah, I sell a lot of books. so what? （但他将自己的成功归功于自己的职业道德和激情。“我也不太把自己当回事，”他说。“是啊，我卖了很多书，那又怎样?”）可知，Patterson认为是自己对于写作的积极态度才取得了成功。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。综合文章内容可知，第二段提到Patterson最开始成为作家的梦想是“不切实际的”，第三段提到了Patterson在成为作家之前的工作经历，并且为了写作每年要看一百多本书的积累。虽然Patterson在26岁时就发表了自己的第一本书，但是在他40岁的时候才成为一名畅销书作家。由此判断，Patterson成为作家的道路并不是一帆风顺的。B项“成为畅销书作家的艰难之路”，符合文意。故选B。

What makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as uniquely human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social- group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families- grandmother, mother, and daughter - all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
8. The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they ________.
A. are not easy to fool
B. prefer fruit to vegetables
C. have a special taste for food
D. have an awareness of equality
9. What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?
A. Social interaction. B. Intelligence.
C. Tool using ability. D. Fun-loving spirits.
10. What makes dolphin culture special?
A. They tend to hunt in groups.
B. Their hunting skills are passed down.
C. Their learning environment is favourable.
D. Their families are typically female-controlled.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D. Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.
【答案】8 D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了是什么让人类如此特别? 工具使用、自我意识、语言和文化都排在前列，但事实上，所有这些特征都可以在动物王国的其他地方找到，并以海豚为例，说明了海豚文化和海豚的心智技能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes.”（人类和猿类是近亲，所以黑猩猩会使用工具或者大猩猩有公平竞争的意识也就不足为奇了，当它们看到自己的邻居拿葡萄时，它们甚至会拒绝胡萝卜(它们通常会接受)）可知大猩猩拒绝胡萝卜的例子表明它们有平等意识。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social- group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.”（在无脊椎动物中，章鱼以它们的智力而闻名，甚至显示出顽皮、使用工具和个性的证据。 但这些熟练的捕食者独自生活，因此缺乏文化。 另一方面，海豚是脑容量大、寿命长、以社会群体为基础的掠食者，正是在这里，我们发现了它们与类人文化和意识的最大相似之处）可知和海豚相比，章鱼缺少社会互动。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families- grandmother, mother, and daughter - all feeding in this highly specialized way.”（从这个意义上说，许多动物都有文化，但让海豚与众不同的是它们传承的文化。 一些宽吻海豚嘴里衔着海绵，它们用海绵作为工具来清扫躲藏在海底的鱼类。 这种能力代代相传(尤其是雌性)，一些家庭——祖母、母亲和女儿——都以这种高度专门化的方式喂养 ）可知让海豚文化如此特别的是它们的狩猎技巧代代相传。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.”（海豚不仅能认出自己，而且如果海豚身上有一个黑色的标记，它会花额外的时间在镜子前看这个标记）可推知海豚识别自己倒影的能力是一种更高阶的心智技能。 故选D。
D
If you grew up in a household that had its fair share of book shelves, it might say something positive about your personally now that you're all grown up.
This new study found that people who grew up in book filled homes have higher reading, math, and technological skills. The researchers analyzed data featuring 160,000 adults (ages 25 to 65) across 31 nations. All participants were asked how many books there were in their home when they were 16 years old. They chose from a series of alternatives ranging from “10 or less” to “more than 500.”
If a household held at least 80 books, then participants went on to display the average rate of literacy and numeracy(认字和计算). The rate of literacy continued to increase in parallel to the number of books a household contained until the rate didn't increase from 350 books onwards. Furthermore, young teenagers who grew up around books were shown to have the same levels of literacy and numeracy as university graduates who had only grown up around a few books.
Literacy was clarified as “the ability to read effectively to participate in society and achieve personal goals.” Participants took tests that “captured ' a range of basic through advanced comprehension skills, from reading brief texts for a single piece of information to synthesizing information from complex texts.” Numeracy tests measured the “ability to use mathematical concepts in everyday life,” while IT-related tests “assessed the ability to, use digital. technology to communicate with others, as well as to gather, analyze, and synthesize information.”
The results suggest those books made a long-term difference. “Growing up with home libraries improves adult skills in these areas beyond the benefits from parental education or one’s own educational attainment, “the researchers report. Not surprisingly, the biggest effect was on reading ability. “The total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere,” the researchers report.
12. What can we learn from the new study?
A. Homes filled with books do much benefit to one’s growth.
B One’s literacy and numeracy are finally shaped at the age of 16.
C. All participants need to have ten to more than 500 books at home.
D. Those reading a lot are more competent than university graduates.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The benefit of literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
B. The measurement of literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
C. The relation between literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
D. The difference between literacy, numeracy and IT ability.
14. According to the text, books influence one's_________ most.
A. parental education. B. occupational attainment.
C. calculating ability. D. reading ability.
15. What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?
A. To describe the importance of receiving good education.
B. To clarify the effect of home library size on one's adult skills.
C. To explain the necessity of acquiring literacy and numeracy.
D. To introduce methods of improving one's literacy and numeracy.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B

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。
If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. ____16____, creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?
Why does a mosquito bite itch?
When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva (唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. ____17____. It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.
What helps resist the urge to scratch?
“Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames (发炎) the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. “____18____,” warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.
Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedy (疗法). Choose what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. ____19____.
____20____
Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, Vosshall said. If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately.
A. In fact, the best remedy to fight the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place
B. Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the irritation
C. The little red bumps swell up almost immediately
D. The bites will definitely cause severe allergies
E. It’s not the bite that causes the itch
F. What to do with a mosquito bite?
G. When to seek medical attention?
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了被蚊子叮咬后，如何处置。
【16题详解】
上文“If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. (如果你曾经被蚊子咬过，你知道它们的叮咬是多么令人瘙痒)”说明被蚊子叮咬后是非常难受的，选项C“红色的小肿块几乎立即膨胀起来”承接上文，具体描述被蚊虫叮咬后的结果，连接下文“creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse (一旦你开始抓挠，情况只会变得更糟)”说明被咬后的膨胀起来的红色肿块一旦抓挠，情况会更糟糕。故选C项。
【17题详解】
下文“It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. (这实际上是人体试图对抗外来的蚊子蛋白质的反应)”讲述的是导致瘙痒的实际原因，选项E“不是被咬导致瘙痒”也涉及了导致瘙痒的原因，说明不是因为被咬就导致瘙痒。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves. (并补充说，在极端情况下，人们会留下疤痕)”讲述的是抓伤造成的后果，选项B“抓伤可导致继发感染并延长刺激时间”也是在讲述抓伤可能导致的后果。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文“In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. (总的来说，所有的各种止痒霜都非常相似。没有科学证据表明这些疗法有效，而且它们可能有自己的预防措施或副作用)”说明各种止痒霜未必有疗效，还可能有副作用，选项A“事实上，对抗瘙痒的最好方法是从一开始就防止被咬”承接上文，说明预防是最好的方法。上文和选项均和对抗瘙痒的方法有关。故选A项。
【20题详解】
下文“If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately. (如果你出现呼吸困难等严重症状，应立即就医)”说明本段建议如果情况严重应立即就医，选项G“何时就医？”符合本段主题，适合做小标题。故选G项。

47. 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。
My father and I disagreed about my curfew (晚间在家的时间). He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction, it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back, I got everything prepared. When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously stepped the floor, another half hour passed. That was when I got really angry. How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However, when another half an hour passed, my anger turned to fear. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident, or something else? I began to get really worried, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. I had already called his cell phone about ten times, but there was no answer.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened. Suddenly, the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and picked the receiver up, it was my dad. From the other end of the phone came my father’s voice. He said breathlessly, “Son, I am so sorry about the football game, but …there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I stopped to help the injured and ended up going to the hospital. I left my phone in the car, so I couldn’t call you until now.”
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I was so relieved to hear from my father. Having learnt that he was safe, I burst into tears. It was at that moment that I had a full understanding of the importance of a curfew. Since then, I have been insisting on checking in! For me, it’s about knowing that someone I love is safe. It is also one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我心烦意乱，以为最坏的情况已经发生了。”可知，第一段可描写作者接到爸爸电话，了解爸爸到底发生了什么事。
②由第二段首句内容“我心中的大石头终于落地了。”可知，第二段可描写作者知道了爸爸的情况，如释重负，同时理解了晚间在家时间的重要性，也理解了爸爸的爱。
2.续写线索：接到爸爸电话——了解爸爸帮助事故受伤人员——如释重负——理解了爸爸的之前的行为和爱——以后准时回家报到
