答案及解析：（“可乐”解释）
本文首先指出父母与十几岁的孩子之间存在矛盾冲突及其原因，然后是研究发现的不同父母对此采取的不同方法，有的方法较另一些方法更有效果，最后一段是心理学家对解决冲突的建议。
1.D 由not easy living with them (their parents)(孩子觉得与父母生活在一起不易)与difficult to live withteenagers(父母觉得与十几岁的孩子生活在一起很难)可知，孩子与父母有“相似的”感受。(逻辑推断)
2. B 由前两句，可知父母之间有“矛盾”，再根据regarding untidiness and daily routinetasks(关于不整洁和日常事情)，对照各选项，只有argument(争吵)适合。(逻辑推断)
3. C 由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on thefloor可知，房间是messy(凌乱不堪的)。(逻辑推断；也可将untidiness与messy看作是近义复现)
4. B 由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事，应是housework(家务活)。(上下义复现)
5. C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do theshopping可知，这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom，一起为blamethem的原因。(逻辑推断，或词语同现，受责备的应都是负面的意思)
6. A 由下句的However, some approaches提示，可知这里是指“不同的父母对待这些问题有不同的‘方法’”。(原词复现)
7. D 从下面的例子可以看出，有的方法比别的方法更能“达到预期的目的(successful)”。下文中的dobetter也有提示作用。(逻辑推断)
8. A 指yell at their children(对孩子大声叫喊)之后，意为“但是‘后来’又为他们清扫房间”。(逻辑推断)
9. A 改变孩子不爱整洁的“行为(behavior)”。 (逻辑推断)
10. C据下文所举的例子“不帮父母去买东西”“在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”可知，这是让孩子“感受到自己的行为产生的‘后果’”。(逻辑推断)
11. D 在有了上述经历之后，他们就会“重新考虑”他们的行动。(逻辑推断)
12. A 由下文中的Communication is a two-wayprocess可知，此处填communication。事实上，当完成第13空后，就基本上确定此题选A了。(原词复现)
13. D 由but可知，要选与lend an ear to(=listen to倾听)相对的talk。(词语同现；逻辑推断)
14. B 由but可知，要选与understand (理解)相对的scold(责骂)。(词语同现；逻辑推断)
15. C此句是强调结构，是对前两句的总结，一句是说要lend an ear to(=listen to倾听)，一句是说要understand(倾听)，所以总结为“只有通过倾听和相互理解，父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决”。 (原词复现)
第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或者括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为16~25的相应位置上。
Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some ofmy friends who had been there before said____16____ was a wonderfulholiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months.When the day came, we were ready.
After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made ourreservation six months____17____(early), but the man at the frontdesk said there had been a mistake. We ____18____（tell）that ourrooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, ____19____ for the weekafter. I didn’t understand ____20____ this would happen and mycredit card had already been charged____21____the reservation. What’s worse, thehotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, themanager came out. She was ____22____（surprise）helpful. Sheapologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on____23____top floor. We had never stayed in suchan amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.
The next day, my brother and I went to the beach ____24____wewatched some people play volleyball. We got alittle____25____（sunburn），but the day had been so relaxing that wedidn’t mind.
答案及解析：（“可乐”解释）
本文是讲我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外。
16. it 在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词；指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。
17. earlier 在句中作状语，依然用副词；不变词性，可考虑用比较级；由时态hadmade，可知是“早在六个月前”就订好了。
18. were told 由句意或tell sb.sth.这一句型结构可知，是“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。
19. but 这是考虑not…but…结构，意为“不是为那个星期订的，而是为后一个星期所订的”。
20. why 意为“我不知道为什么会发生这样的事”，故用why引导宾语从句。
21. for 因charge…for…是习惯搭配。
22. surprisingly因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外的”，故填surprisingly。
23. the 特指“在顶楼”。
24. where 先行词是地点the beach且在定语从句中作状语，故填where (=on which =and on thebeach =and there)。
25. sunburnt 在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词。

A
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England.He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficultmusical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a fewminutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music bylistening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in hishead. Two years ago, he played his first piece MoonlightSonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone aroundhim.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of musicand played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realizethat what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer asit was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him heshould study music instead. Now, he studies law andmusic.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew upwith music. My mother played the piano and my father played theguitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playingthe piano, without being able to read music and without having anylessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bearthem in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at hiscollege. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience wasimpressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piecethat is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it.Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess Ihave that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop withmusic. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuelheard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story wordfor word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants todo in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful musicand continue his studies.

A. He has a gift for writing music.

答案及解析：
本文是记叙文，介绍有音乐天才的SamuelOsmond。
26. D 细节理解题。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musicalpieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutesafter he hearsthem可知选D。顺便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出题的地方，可以注意哟。
27.B 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句 “Samuel wanted to become alawyer as it was the wish of his parents,but music teachers toldhim he should study music instead. Now, he studies law andmusic”可知选B，Samuel按照父母的意愿是想做律师的，而不是做音乐家。因按父母的意愿是学法律，按老师的建议学音乐，故D错。
28. C 综合细节题。由第三段最一句Samuel can’t understand why everyone is sosurprised和第三四句 “I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,without being able to read music and without having any lessons. Itcomes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them inmind---each and every note”可知，他不用看音符就能演奏钢琴，故选C。
29.B 推断隐含意义。由第四段最后一句Samuel says confidently,“It’s all about super memory---I guess I have thatgift.”可推出。
30. B 选择标题题。也属主旨要义题。每段都有Samuel，全文都是说学法津的Samuel有音乐天才。
B
It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridgetollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six carsbehind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. Oneafter another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth wereinformed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something ona friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senselessacts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copiedit down.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far awayfrom home. When it stayed on her mind for days,she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thoughtit was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writingit at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.”Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up onthe classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughterof Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in thenewspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t knowwhere it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman livingin Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down ona piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind fordays.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should bemore of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting theclassrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tablesin the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud oldlady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violencecan.”
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of thosedrivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might havebeen inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events,kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it beyours!
31.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A. She knew the car driverswell.B. She wanted to show kindness.
C. She hoped to pleaseothers.D. She had seven tickets.
32.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she_________.
A. thought it was beautifully written
B. wanted to know what it really meant
C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall
D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom
33.Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A. Judy Foreman. B. NatalieSmith. C.Alice Johnson. D. AnneHerbert.
34.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to theunderlined sentence above?
A. Kindness and violence can change the world.
B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.
C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.
D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should practice random kindness to those inneed.
B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it toothers.
C. People should practice random kindness to strangers theymeet.
D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to thegiver.
答案及解析：
31. B 细节推断题。第一段说Natalie Smith 为其后面的六辆车交费，第二段交等了其中的原因，是她看到的“Practice random kindness and senseless acts ofbeauty”这句话给了她深刻印象，由此推断，她是受这句话的启发，“想给他人施恩”，故选B。
32. A 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“I thought it was beautiful,” she said,explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all herletters可知，选A。选项B文中无信息支持，无中生有；选项C“决定将其写在仓库墙上”与文中“看到离家很远的一个仓库墙上看到这句话”意义不同，张冠李戴；虽然文中有她老公将其写在教室的墙上，但并不是她要他写的，更不是她抄写这句话的目的，与事实不符。
33. D 细节理解题。本题是问“谁想出这句话来的”，由第四段中的 “It was in a restaurant that Annewrote the phrase down on a piece of paper”可知，是AnneHerbert想出这句话来的。可用排除法，Natalie Smith是在朋友的冰霜上看到的，JudyForeman是在仓库的墙上抄下来的，Alice Johnson是从她女儿那得知的，她女儿是因为JudyForeman的老公将此句写在教室的墙上而得知的，故不是这三个人想出来的。
34. C 推断句子意义。推断词、短语或句子意思，需结合上下文去理解。本段中先是AnneHerbert解释她想出的那句话意为：你认为(生活中或世界上)应该多一些存在的事，那么你就随意去做这样 的事。接说着她想象中的这类事包括“给破旧教室粉墙”“在穷人区的厨房里留下热饭”等善举。那么该段结尾的话“善举和暴力一样可以在它们自己的基础上建立起来”，其真正的含义是什么呢？再看看接下来这一段，特别是第一句“随意的善举是可以传播或蔓延”，可知“善举同暴力一样是可以自我繁衍的”，故选C。
35. B 推理判断题。由最后一段的第一和第二句可以推知：受到恩惠的人很可能会施惠于他人，将恩惠传播下去。
C
Likemany new graduates, I left university full of hope for the futurebut with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, withhonors, in English literature had not really prepared me foranything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in theworld somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when Ilearned about the Lighthouse Project.
Istarted my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading asmuch as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. Iknew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away frommy family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did nottake my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly.Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent inall the paperwork needed for the application. After countlessinterviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among thecandidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, Ifinally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I wouldbe going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What?Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that wassmall and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though thelocal villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, andfood as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a smallteam of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the nextyear or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimesthink I learned more from my students than they did fromme.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things thathad seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I didnot get anywhere with the local language, and returned to theUnited States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changedmy life forever.

Scientists today are making greater effort tostudy ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and otherhigh-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer doesit in a special way --- by studying movements of random floatinggarbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started thistype of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds ofathletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast ofthe United States. There were so many shoes that people weresetting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoesto sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. Hephoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. Asexpected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyerrealized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when andwhere the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed,he could learn a lot about the patterns of oceancurrents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas forbeachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as aresult, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help incollecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year hecollected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, heand a colleague were able to test and improve a computer programdesigned to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of theirstudy.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as thescientist to call with questions about any unusual objects foundfloating in the ocean. He has even started an association ofbeachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from WestAfrica to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects rangingfrom potatoes to golf gloves.
41. The underlinedphrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. fittingroomsB. trading fairs
C. businesstalksD. group meetings
42.Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _______.
A. what caused the shipping accident
B. when and where the shoes went missing
C. whether it was all right to use their shoes
D. how much they lost in the shipping accident

A. By collecting information from beachcombers.
B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.
D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
44.Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ________.
A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
C. running a global currents research association

D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on thebeach.
答案及解析：
本文是说明文，介绍了一种研究洋流的特别方式。
41. B 词义猜测题。由前面的so many shoes和后面的to try and match left and rightshoes to sell or wear，特别是sell，可知是建立交易市场，故选B。
42. C 细节理解题。由第二段二、三、四句 “He phoned the shoe company and asked ifthey wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him thatthey didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a greatexperiment”可知，选C。
43. A 细节理解题。由第三段第二句Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them (seriousbeachcombers) and asked for their help in collecting informationabout where the shoes landed及其后几句可知，选A，“通过海滩清理者收集信息”。

Version1:
Oseola McCarty was a laundrywoman for more than 75 years. Sheearned a few dollars each time. But she donated$150,000 which was her life savings to help the students who neededfinancial help.
I think her behavior is worth praising and very unselfish. Everyoneshould help others in need. But how much to donate should be basedon our actual situation. The $150,000 is very helpful to thestudents who have financial problems. They can buy many things theyneed as other students. And they may be more grateful and kinder.Therefore, it’s more likely for them to help others in thefuture.
If I am going to give donations, I will choose students too. Theyare in the most important period in their life. They need to get along education. They have to buy a lot of books, pencil-cases,pens, erasers and so on, which will certainly cost a lot. They aregrowing up rapidly, which needs a lot of nutrition. If they don’thave enough money, they can’t eat enough food and take in enoughenergy. In a word, money is very important to students.(189words)
