一、阅读理解

A

“You know,the soft subjects,” says the boy in maths,“the easy ones:the stupid girls at the bottom take them.Like dance.It shouldn’t even be a subject.” We’re choosing subjects for our A-level taster day at school.I see the raised eyebrows when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama.

I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn’t help me to get a suitable career.My friends told me I’d get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month.

But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made.Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into.It gives me a feeling of belonging,creativity,security and freedom.

The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on science,technology,engineering and maths (STEM),saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers.Stopping young

people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours.Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in,day out.It shouldn’t matter what that subject is.

I don’t doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them.But to force children into one field is cruel.As much as I try,I’m not good at and don’t love physics,biology or maths.I don’t want a career in these areas.

There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers.I can’t even imagine how it feels to be told that you don’t teach a “real subject” by an 8-year-old boy.

To the teachers,the parents,the government I say:Let children make their own decisions.Let them live in the present.Let them have a real,unlimited education.

【篇章导读】本文是议论文。很多人认为艺术是学习不好的孩子的救命稻草,是毫无用处的学科,而作者却认为艺术给了她归属感,是使她不停搏斗的动力源泉。

Have you ever caught yourself saying,“I hate small talk!” the minute you walk into a party? If so,you might be an introvert (内向的人).Introverts hate to chat about “small” subjects with people.They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there’s a group around.

If you’re talking to an introvert,you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways.Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics.What you need to know is that the

introvert is not being rude.It’s just that they don’t like small talk.Here’s why.

Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation.Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics.You don’t need to stay on small talk

forever.However,sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of

time.Small talk is very fast.Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response.But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud.Before they answer,they’ll mull over different thoughts.

Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in.The more people who join the conversation,the more the introvert will tend to step back.As a result,they’ll be quiet.Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.

The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth.The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on.Introverts tend to be great listeners,but

they use active listening rather than light listening.This makes them wonderful friends,but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.

剖析细节明白题。根据第二段中的“Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk”可知,内向的人总想避开漫谈。skate over 意为“回避,避免涉及”。

5.What do we know about small talk?

A.It goes slowly.

7.How can we become a good talker in small conversations?

B.Think twice before answering questions.

C.Try to find shared topics.

D.Be a quiet listener.

剖析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest”可知,想要成为好的漫谈者,我们必要找到共同话题。

二、七选五

Traveling independently for the first time can be stressful if you don’t plan your trip carefully.In Cuba,my friends and I really learned the value of planning ahead and being responsible tourists.So,before you set off,take a look at my list of useful tips: Plan who to go with.

Think about your travel buddies (朋友) carefully.Traveling with just one person has its advantages and disadvantages,but traveling in a group isn’t easy either.In a group,everyone wants something different.Be patient and understanding,and try to find a compromise. 1And remember:if you take everyone’s views into account before you go,you won’t have so many arguments!

2

Before you go,find out about the country’s culture and look up some basic words and useful phrases in the local language.3If

you say just a few words in their language,the local people will really appreciate it,and everyone will feel more comfortable.

Be responsible.

It’s really important to be a responsible tourist and to try to support the local economy.4We stayed in private homes in different parts of Cuba.Our hosts were really kind-hearted and their generosity was amazing.If you stay with a family,you’ll find out much more about your hosts’ culture and way of life.5Seeing the sights and learning about the culture with local Cubans was truly exciting.If we had stayed in a hotel,we wouldn’t have had these experiences.

A.Do your homework.

B.Think about the environment.

C.Don’t be embarrassed by your accent.

D.I decided to spend the summer in Cuba with some friends.

E.Be adaptable,so that you can deal with unexpected changes.

F.For example,why not stay with a local family instead of in a big hotel?

G.They will probably take you to places the guidebooks don’t tell you about.

【篇章导读】本文是说明文。作者通过亲身经历介绍了外出旅游之前的一些注意事项。

1.E E项中的“Be adaptable”与上文的“try to find a compromise”相呼应。他认为跟好几个朋友一起出行时要学会妥协、善于应变,这样能够淘汰争论的产生。

2.A 由下文的“Before you go,find out about the country’s culture and look up some basic words and useful phrases in the local language”可知,出行前要对目的地国家的文化和语言有根本的相识,也便是做作业。

3.C 由上下文的“some basic words and useful phrases in the local language”和“say just a few words in their language”可知,作者认为会说一些本地的语言很关键,只要能说出来,不要担心口音题目。

4.F F项中的建议“why not stay with a local family”与文中作者提及他的亲身经历“We stayed in private homes in different parts of Cuba”相呼应。

5.G 此段作者对比了住在当地人家中和住在旅馆的差别。G项中的“They...take you to places the guidebooks don’t tell you about”和上文提到的“find out much more about your hosts’ culture and way of life”都是作者认为住在当地人家中的利益。

三、语法填空

Jerry has had a disability for over 35 years.On December 3,1982 Jerry 1. (hit) by a drunk driver.The accident left 2. (he) as a partial paraplegic (下身麻痹患者).

Jerry’s life is not defined by his disability.“There’s a lot I can do,” said Jerry.“I drive.I work.I enjoy 3. (be) healthy and independent.”This “healthy man,living 4. normal life” has even participated in the Boston Marathon.

As a person with a disability,however,Jerry has seen some of the attitudes 5. people with disabilities over the years.

He was once in line to renew his parking permit.He watched a(n) 6. (work) walk down the line and ask people “what do you need?” When she got to Jerry and saw his wheelchair,he was asked “who are you here with?”

But he’s also seen many positive 7. (change) to get people with disabilities 8. (physical) active through recreational opportunities such as golf,fishing and even snow-skiing.There are now organizations such as Lakeshore Foundation 9. provide recreational opportunities.

Jerry states,“I don’t expect the world 10. (go) around us.I will adapt — just make it so I can.”

1.was hit 考查一般已往时的被动语态。Jerry与hit之间是被动干系,且由时间状语On December 3,1982可知,设空处表示的行动产生在已往,故填was hit。

2.him 考查代词。设空处做宾语,指代Jerry,故填him。

3.being 考查动词-ing情势做宾语的用法。enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”。

4.a 考察不定冠词。live a normal life意为“过着正常的生活”。

5.towards/to考查介词。attitude 后常跟介词towards/to,表示“对待……的态度”。

6.worker 考查名词。设空处做宾语,由“walk down the line and ask people ‘what do you need?’”可知,此处表示“工作人员”,又因设空处前有a(n),故填worker。

7.changes 考察名词复数。设空处做宾语,表示“变化”,由many可知,此处应用名词复数,故填changes。

8.physically考查副词。设空处修饰形容词active,表示“身体上”,故填副词physically。

9.that/which 考察干系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,指代organizations且在从句中做主语,故填that/which。

10.to go 考查不定式做补语的用法。expect sb./ sth.to do sth.意为“期望某人/某物做某事”。
