Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He bad her since she was young but now had no place for her.
The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St, Louis, the rescue team I work with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen (肿胀的) with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.
Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.
Her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life. I hoped, in her new home!
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The former owners of the dog.
B. Where the dog was treated.
C. What the dog needed most.
D. The problems the dog met.
5. What is the author’s job?
A. Training old dogs.
B. Treating sick dogs
C. Looking for homes for dogs.
D. Looking for lost dogs’ owners.
6. How did the author feel on her way to her friend’s home?
A. Relieved and happy. B. Nervous and grateful.
C. Surprised and curious. D. Hopeful and proud.
7. What does the author think of Magdalen’s owner giving her up?
A. She didn’t understand his behaviour.
B. She believed it was painful for him.
C. She was certain he would regret.
D. She thought he made a wise decision.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者安置一只老龄狗的故事。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St, Louis, the rescue team I work with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen (肿胀的) with all sorts of problems, Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.(给她临时住所的家庭有孩子和其他狗，无法给她一个永远的家。当与我一起工作的救援队Speak St, Louis联系到这只狗的情况时，他们表示愿意收留它。她去兽医那里做了基本的健康检查。但是兽医并没有什么好消息。她的嘴因各种问题而肿起来，清洁时掉了两颗牙，又拔了十一颗)”可知，当Magdalen需要一个临时的家的时候，这家人给了它一个家，但是他们有孩子和其它狗狗，他们不能给它一个永远的家，Magdalen也老了，病了。由此可知，本段主要介绍了 Magdalen遇到的问题。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog.(上周末，我和丈夫开车送一只狗去她的新家。通常情况下，当后座上有一只新狗时，它是一只年轻的狗)”和下文作者找兽医为 Magdalen治病，并最终为 Magdalen找到收养者可知，作者的工作是为狗狗找新家。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.(幸运的是，我的一个好朋友，一个对老狗狗心肠很软的驯狗师，同意收养Magdalen。在去驯狗师家的路上，这位可爱的老狗狗坐在我们的后座上，看起来很放松。我感到一种巨大的宽慰和愉悦)”可知，年迈的Magdalen虽然被原来的主人拋弃了，但作者的一个关心老狗狗的好朋友答应收养它，她在开车送Magdalen去朋友家的路上是感到欣慰和开心的。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life. I hoped, in her new home!(她的主人生病时需要一些临时的帮助。但我想不出他为什么不想让她回来。我想起了我自己的狗和我们过去失去的狗。我们是一家人，永远是一家人。她会过上好日子的。我希望，在她的新家！)”可知，Magdalen原来的主人生病时，他需要一些临时帮助，但是当他康复后却不想要它回去了。作者想起了自己的狗和在过去因年老而失去的狗。作者认为他们是一家人，永远都是这样。由此推知，作者无法理解Magdalen的主人的行为。故选A。
C
Written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree is a children’s book that tells the story about a young boy and a tree in the forest. The story starts with the boy and the tree being the best of friends and having fun. As the boy grows older, he asks more from the tree, which willingly agrees until all that is left is a stump (树桩). In the end, the boy, now an old man, comes back to the tree and tells it that all he wants is a place to sit on, something that the tree eagerly provides.
In the book, each part of the story goes straight to the point without confusing readers. The book doesn’t include the events that happen to the boy in between. We see how the boy’s needs increase to a point that the tree finally gives its trunk as he grows. It makes the book easy to read and understand. The writing style may seem plain and boring at first but we need to keep in mind that it is a children’s book. If it weren’t that way, then it would be unattractive to its young readers.
The words used are very easy to understand. The phrase, “and the tree was happy”, is quite moved and shows the tree’s love for the boy. The use of the word “need” also shows readers the attitude of the boy. The change from “need” to “want” in the end also tells readers the changes that the boy goes through.
Though the book has been criticized as it can be understood in different ways, it is because of this that the book succeeds. Again the book is written for children. Different children have their own ways to understand the book and will consider it interesting.
8. What is the book mainly about?
A. A boy’s great love for a tree.
B. A boy’s relationship with a tree
C. A boy’s dependence on a forest.
D. A boy’s interesting life in a forest.
9. Why is the book suitable for young readers in the author’s opinion?
A. Its story is touching.
B. Its expressions are simple
C. Its writing style is humorous.
D. Its topics are varied.
10. What makes The Giving Tree popular?
A. The comments kids gave.
B. The writing style.
C. The pictures in it.
D. Different ways to understand it.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To comment on a book.
B. To introduce a writer.
C. To recommend a story.
D. To give readers a lesson.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要对一本儿童书籍的内容、写作风格和语言特点等方面作了评价。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The story starts with the boy and the tree being the best of friends and having fun. As the boy grows older, he asks more from the tree, which willingly agrees until all that is left is a stump (树桩). In the end, the boy, now an old man, comes back to the tree and tells it that all he wants is a place to sit on, something that the tree eagerly provides. (故事开始于男孩和树是最好的朋友，玩得很开心。随着男孩长大，他向树上要求更多的东西，树都会心甘情愿地答应，直到最后只剩下树桩。最后，男孩，现在已经是一个老人了，回到树前，告诉它，他想要的只是一个坐在上面的地方，这是树渴望提供的东西。)”可知，这本书主要介绍一个小男孩和一棵树之间的关系。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“If it weren’t that way, then it would be unattractive to its young readers (如果不是这样的话，那么它对年轻读者就没有吸引力了)”和第三段“The words used are very easy to understand. (所用的词很容易理解。)”可知，这本书使用非常简单的短语和词汇，所以非常容易理解，即它简单易懂的语言使之适合小孩子阅读。因此作者认为这本书适合年轻读者是因为它的表达很简单。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though the book has been criticized as it can be understood in different ways, it is because of this that the book succeeds. (尽管这本书受到了批评，因为它可以用不同的方式理解，但正因为如此，这本书才获得了成功。)”可知，不同的人对这本书有不同的理解，可知使这本书很受欢迎是因为不同的人对这本书反映的道理有不同的理解。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍了一本儿童书籍的内容、写作风格和语言特点等，结合第二段“In the book, each part of the story goes straight to the point without confusing readers. (在这本书中，故事的每一部分都直奔主题，不会让读者感到困惑。)”以及第三段“The words used are very easy to understand. (所用的词很容易理解。)”可知，作者的写作目的是为了对一本书作出评价。故选A。
D
The surface of Mars is etched (蚀刻) with ancient river valleys and lake basins. Some researchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. Today, Mars is too cold for much, if any, liquid water to exist. And 3.8 billion years ago, when the flowing water formed, the sun was fainter than it is today, making it even harder to imagine a warm Martian climate. That’s why many researchers think Mars may have gone in and out of deep freezes.
Some researchers have suggested that early Mars only thawed out (解冻) when large asteroid (小行星) impacts or volcanic eruptions temporarily warmed the planet. But Kasting, a geologist at Penn State University, thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast canyons (峡谷) that exist on Mars. Now, Kasting and his colleagues have come up with an alternative explanation. They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect.
The idea goes like this: When Mars was cold and frozen, volcanoes continued to belch out the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere. There, the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow, forming Mars’ rivers and lakes. However, warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide, mitigating the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet back down again. Then the cycle would repeat.
Kasting shared his theory with other astronomers at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, and in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. So far, Kasting’s team has only shown that such an explanation is possible, according to climate models. But the researchers say field trips could help test the idea by looking for evidence of multiple warm events, and their durations.
12. What made researchers believe that liquid water once existed on Mars?
A. The geological features of Mars.
B. The natural climate of Mars.
C. The temperatures of the sun.
D. The colour of the planet.
13. What is Kasting’s theory based on?
A. Large asteroids had no impact on Mars.
B. Volcanic eruptions were very frequent on Mars
C. Deep valleys couldn’t be formed in a short period of time.
D. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen were abundant in the atmosphere.
14. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Achieving. B. Reducing. C. Experiencing. D. Enhancing.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Large Asteroid Impacts on the Red Planet
B. Liquid Water Existing on Mars
C. Climate Cycles Could Have Carved Canyons on Mars
D. Ancient River Valleys Have Been Found on Mars
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。火星上曾经有液态水，这是怎么形成的呢？科学家们提出了新的理论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“The surface of Mars is etched with ancient river valleys and lake basins. Some researchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. (火星表面蚀刻着古老的河谷和湖泊盆地。一些研究人员认为液态水曾经在这颗红色星球上流动)”可知，火星表面有着古老的河谷和湖泊盆地，这些地质特征使得研究人员认为液态水曾经在火星上存在。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But Kasting, a geologist at Penn State University, thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast canyons that exist on Mars. (但是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的地质学家Kasting认为，这种突然事件打开的温暖窗口期太短暂了，无法蚀刻出火星上存在的巨大峡谷)”可知，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的地质学家卡萨丁认这种突然事件打开的温暖窗口期太短暂了，无法形成火星上存在的巨大峡谷。由此推知，卡萨丁的理论是建立在深谷不可能在短时间内形成的理论上的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的“warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide. (温暖的温度和充足的水也会加速某些消耗二氧化碳的化学反应)”可知，温暖的气候和充足的水也会加速某些化学反应，这样就消耗了二氧化碳。二氧化碳减少了就会减少温室效应，从而使地球温度下降，故划线词与“减少；减弱”含义接近。故选B项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段“They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect. (他们认为火星可能经历了一系列由温室效应强度变化引起的气候周期。)”和第三段“The idea goes like this: When Mars was cold and frozen, volcanoes continued to belch out the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere. There, the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow, forming Mars’ rivers and lakes. (这个想法是这样的：当火星寒冷冻结时，火山继续向大气中喷射二氧化碳和氢气等温室气体。在那里，气层捕获热量并使行星升温，直到液态水开始流动，形成了火星的河流和湖泊)”可知，文章介绍了科学家提出的关于火星上的河谷和湖泊盆地形成原因的最新理论，研究指出可能是气候的变化周期造就了如今火星上可观测到的峡谷和河床等地理特征，所以“Climate Cycles Could Have Carved Canyons on Mars (气候周期可能在火星上雕刻了峡谷)”是最佳标题。故选C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。
When Harriet was 63, she had Alzbeimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病). Her 10-year-old granddaughter, Lynn, had pity for her. But as time passed, she became impatient with some of her actions. “Mum! I don’t want to eat with Grandma,” Lynn said one day. “Her hands keep shaking, and she often drops food. It’s dirty!” Her mother, Amanda, warned, “You shouldn’t talk about your grandma like that!” Lynn nodded but wasn’t happy.
In two weeks, Lynn was turning eleven. One evening, she told Amanda that she’d hold a party at home and invite friends. Amanda said. “Why not? Your dad, your grandma and I will also attend your party.” “I don’t want Grandma to come!” Lynn replied. “Her hands shake, and she drops food. My friends will laugh at me!”
“She’s old and needs our help, Lynn. You’ll help Grandma, right? Aren’t you a good girl?” replied Amanda. But Lynn worried about friends’ laughing. Days later, when Lynn returned home from school, Amanda said. “We won’t celebrate your birthday this time.” “Is it because I said bad things about Grandma? I’ll invite her. Please don’t cancel it,” Lynn begged. “It’s not like that,” Amanda explained. “This noon, your grandmother was sent to hospital. She had a stroke after staying up all night making warm gloves for you. She managed to finish the birthday present.” Lynn was shocked, saying, “Did Grandma fall sick because of me? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have talked about her like that.” Amanda comforted Lynn, “Grandma will be fine.” “What if she doesn’t?” Lynn asked, crying, “I was so mean to her. I want to see her now!”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Amanda nodded.

“And Mum, can I cut my birthday cake before Grandma and wish her to be well soon?” Lynn added.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Amanda nodded. When Lynn visited the hospital and saw her grandma on the hospital bed, tears welled up in her eyes. She silently approached her grandma’s bedside and whispered an apology to her. After that day, she kept visiting her grandma and looking after her. As Lynn’s birthday approached, she chatted with Amanda about it. “I want to celebrate my birthday in a simple way with my grandma in the hospital!” she said, holding the gloves her grandma had created for her and sitting beside her.
“And Mum, can I cut my birthday cake before Grandma and wish her to be well soon?” Lynn added. Her mum happily nodded. When that day came, Lynn brought a cake to Harriet’s room. When blowing the candles, Lynn closed eyes and said to herself, “I love you, Grandma! I’m sorry I was mean to you. I hope you will get well soon!” Thankfully, Harriett’s health started improving days later. When Harriet returned home, Lynn hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheeks. Harriet smiled at her and said, “I’m so delighted. I have the loveliest granddaughter in the world!”
