Flying High

Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization.The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.

The moment of inspiration for Irving came in his parents’bookstore.One customer,a professional pilot,asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pilot.“I told him I wasn’t smart enough;but the next day he took me to the cockpit(驾驶舱)of the commercial airplane he flew,and just like that I was hooked.”

To follow his dream,Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida.He washed airplanes to earn money and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a$40flight simulator(模拟)video game.Then another dream took hold:flying alone around the world.He faced more than50rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components.He took off with no weather radar,no de-icing system,and just$30in his pocket.

After97days,26stops and dozens of thunderstorms,he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami.“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.”Irving has been doing it ever since.He set up his

non-profit-making organization,Experience Aviation(航空),aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers.“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,”he notes.The most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides.

4.According to Irving,what is the most important in achieving success?

A.Meeting people who provide unexpected help.

B.Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.

C.Having something specific that you want to accomplish.

D.Developing communication with different organizations.

5.What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that______.

A.he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer

B.he was doubtful about his own abilities

C.he knew his efforts would be rewarded

D.he realized immediately how lucky he was

6.What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph3?

A.He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.

B.He was finally given enough money to keep going.

C.He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.

D.He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.

7.Why does Irving set up his non-profit-making organization?

A.Because he hoped to become a public figure.

B.Because he expected to start a business in other fields.

C.Because he saw there was great interest in what he was doing.

D.Because he thought he could teach more than flight schools could.

【答案】4.C 5.B 6.D7.C

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Barrington Irving学习飞行、独自一人飞越全球并成立公益组织传播飞行知识及经验的故事。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.可知他相信，秘诀在于首先要有梦想，而梦想从学习经验开始，激励孩子们去建立自己的职业生涯。由此可知，在Irving看来，取得成功最重要的是有明确的目标。故选C。

【5题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough;”(“我告诉他，我认为自己不够聪明。”)可知Irving告诉对方自己可能不够聪明，表明Irving怀疑自己的能力。故选B。【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中Then another dream took hold:flying alone around the world.可知然

后另一个梦想出现了：独自飞行环游世界。由此可知，在他知道如何飞行之后，他接受了进一步的挑战。故选D。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.”Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization,Experience Aviation(航空),aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers.The most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides.可知“看到这么多年轻人在看、在听，促使我用自己的知识和经验回馈社会。”Irving从那时起就一直这样做。他成立了自己的非盈利组织“体验航空”，旨在增加从事航空和科学相关职业的年轻人数量。最有力的教育工具是他自己的例子。由此可推知，促使他建立这个公益组织的是因为他看到人们对他所做的事非常感兴趣。故选C。

C

Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were,for a long time,considered second-class citizens.

Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted that hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later(and better)one.

Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols.When a research team carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs,only the O carriers offered food to the animals.The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's.Then the team switched from real-life objects to

T-shirts printed with X or O symbols.Still,the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people:they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format,a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.

I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations,myself.At the start of my career,I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes who are from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的)class out-think and out-feel other animals.Fairly soon,I came to see that whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions.Long-term studies helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society:the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories,elephants forced to perform in circuses,and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.

Animal activists are already there,of course,committed to not eating these animals.But what about the rest of us?Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to

make changes in who we eat?

8.According to Annie Potts,what ability do hens have?

A.interaction

B.analysis

C.creation

D.abstraction 9What does the research into pigs show?

A.That pigs learn letters quickly.

B.That pigs have a good eyesight.

C.That pigs can build up a good relationship.

D.That pigs can apply knowledge to new situations.

10.What does Paragraph4mainly suggest?

A.The similarities between mammals and humans.

B.The necessity of long-term studies on mammals.

C.A change in people's attitudes towards animals.

D.A discovery of how animals express themselves.

11.What might be the best title for the passage?

A.The Inner Lives of Food Animals

B.The Lifestyles of Food Animals

C.Science Reports on Food Animals

D.A Revolution in Food Animals

【答案】8.B9.D10.C11.A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章论述了我们原来当作食物的动物实际上也有情感有思想，文章通过科学研究来说明，母鸡和猪也具备情感，也具备分析推理能力。人类不应只将它们当作食物。【8题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中When given problems to solve,they reason:hens trained to pick colored buttons choose some times to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later(and better)one可知，当解决问题时，母鸡们会推理：例如，受过挑选彩色纽扣的训练的母鸡们有时会选择放弃即时的食物奖励，换取稍晚一些（而且更好）的食物奖励。由此可知，母鸡们具备分析能力。故选B。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols.When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs,only the O carriers offered food to the animals.The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's.Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X

or O symbols.Still,the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people:they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format,a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.”可知猪会对人类的符号做出有意义的反应。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Candace Croney领导的一个研究小组拿着带X标记的木板，一些研究者拿着带O标记的木板，只有拿带O标记木板的研究者给猪提供食物，猪很快就只理会这些研究者了。当木板换成带X和O标记的衬衫时，猪仍然只走向那些穿带O标记衬衫的研究者。这表明猪将把知识转移到了二维的形式，这是一种相当大的推理壮举。由此可知，对猪的研究表明了猪可以把知识应用到新的情况。故选D。

【10题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations,myself.At the start of my career,I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes who are from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的)class out-think and out-feel other animals.Fairly soon,I came to see that whales too are masters of cultural learning,and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society:the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories,elephants forced to perform in circuses,and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.可知我自己也对偏见的期望感到内疚。在我的职业生涯开始时，我坚信来自我们自己的哺乳动物阶级的猴子和猿类比其他动物思维和感觉都好。很快，我发现鲸鱼也是文化学习的大师，大象和它们的社交伙伴表达了深深的喜悦和哀悼。长期的研究帮助推动了我们社会的一种观点转变：公众不再那么容易接受让猴子在同类实验室经历痛苦的过程，大象被迫在马戏团表演，海豚被关在主题公园的小水箱里。由此可知，第四段介绍的是人们对动物看法的转变。故选C。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were,for a long time, considered second-class citizens.可知科学终于开始拥抱那些长期以来被认为是二等公民的动物了。文章第二和第三段以母鸡和猪为例告诉读者：通过科学研究，母鸡和猪也具备情感，也具备分析推理能力。第四段介绍了人们对动物看法的转变。第五和第六段呼吁读者：动物有自己的情感和思想，我们不要只将动物当成我们的食物。结合每段大意可知，该文主要是围绕动物也有情感有思想来展开的。故A选项“食用动物的内心生活”适合做该文标题。故选A。

D

From linguists’point of view,grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to

form phrases or clauses,whether in spoken or written.Different languages have different patterns. Some scholars have tried to identify patterns common to all languages.But apart from some basic features,few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.

The study of these patterns open up“an ongoing debate”between two positions,known as prescriptivism and descriptivism.Prescriptivism thinks a given language should follow consistent rules,while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language.

Language purists(纯化论者)worked to establish and promote this standard by detailing a set of rules that reflected the established grammar of their times.And rules for written grammar were applied to spoken language as well.Speech patterns that deviated from the written rules were considered signs of low social status.And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.

More recently,however,linguists have understood that speech is a separate phenomenon from writing with its own regularities and patterns.We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits, not memorized rules.And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning,its structure is often more flexible,adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners.This could mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to understand in real time,making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation or removing sounds to make speech faster.

But while the debate between prescriptivism and descriptivism continues,the two are not mutually exclusive.Like language itself,it’s a wonderful and complex fabric woven through the contributions of speakers and listeners,writers and readers,prescriptivists and descriptivists from both near and far.

12.What does the underlined word“deviated”in Paragraph3probably mean?

A.copied

B.updated

C.differed

D.originated

13.According to the passage,prescriptivism____________.

A.focuses on established language patterns

B.accepts the differences between languages

C.follows the innovations in language patterns

D.attaches more importance to written language

14.What is Paragraph4mainly about?

A.A new understanding of language.

B.The beliefs held by prescriptivists.

C.The impact of grammar on language.

D.The ongoing debate between linguists. 15Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.The Importance of Grammar.

B.The History of Grammar.

C.Grammar:Rules or Habits.

D.Grammar:Writing Rules.

【答案】12.C13.A14.A15.C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。介绍了以前对语言模式研究有两大立场——规定主义和描述主义，而最近语言学家提出语言是一种独立于文字的现象，有其自身的规律和模式，我们通过无意识的习惯而不是记忆规则来形成语言技能。

【12题详解】

词义猜测题。根据后文And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.可知许多用这种方式说话的成年人被迫采用标准化的形式。这是前一句的结果，由此可知，不同于书面规则的说话方式被认为是社会地位低下的标志。故划线单词意思为“不同”。A.copied复制；B.updated更新；C.differed使……不同；D.originated 起源。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中Prescriptivism thinks a given language should follow consistent rules, while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language.可知规定主义认为特定的语言应该遵循一致的规则，而描述主义则认为变异和顺应是语言的自然和必要的组成部分。由此可知，规定主义专注于既定的语言模式。故选A。

【14题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段More recently,however,linguists have understood that speech is a separate phenomenon from writing with its own regularities and patterns.We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits,not memorized rules.And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning,its structure is often more flexible,adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners.This could mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to understand in real time,making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation or removing sounds to make speech faster.可知然而，最近语言学家已经明白，说话是一种独立于书写的现象，有其自身的规律和模式。我们通过无意识的习惯，而不是记忆规则来形成口语技能。而且，由于讲话也使用语气和语调来表达意思，它的结构往往更加灵活，以适应说话人和听众的需要。这可能意味着要避免复杂的从句，因

为这些从句很难实时理解，要做出改变，以避免尴尬的发音，或消除声音，以提高讲话速度。由此可知，本段主要讲的是不同于规定主义和描述主义的、新的对语言模式的理解，即第四段的主要内容是对语言有了新的理解。故选A。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段From linguists’point of view,grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to form phrases or clauses,whether in spoken or written.Different languages have different patterns.Some scholars have tried to identify patterns common to all languages.But apart from some basic features,few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.可知从语言学家的观点来看，语法是一套模式，无论在口语还是书面语中，词汇如何组合成短语或从句。不同的语言有不同的模式。一些学者试图找出所有语言的共同模式。但除了一些基本特征外，这些所谓的语言共性很少被发现。结合文章介绍了以前对语言模式研究有两大立场——规定主义和描述主义，而最近语言学家提出语言是一种独立于文字的现象，有其自身的规律和模式，我们通过无意识的习惯而不是记忆规则来形成语言技能。由此可知，C选项“语法：规则或习惯”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【19题详解】

根据上文Start with your smallest goal and work through the steps until you achieve it.Each time you complete one of the steps,cross it off so you can celebrate the process in addition to the end result.可知从最小的目标开始，循序渐进直到你实现它。每完成一个步骤，把它划掉，这样你就可以庆祝这个过程以及最终的结果。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，实现了这些目标之后应该想办法把目标融入生活。故D选项“当你实现了目标，想办法继续把它融入你的生活”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【20题详解】

根据后文If your big dream is to quit your job and travel the world,start a savings account that is dedicated to travel money and set aside a small amount each week for three years.Plan your steps according to the time you set and they will be doable and fit smoothly into your life.可知如果你的梦想是辞职去环游世界，那就开设一个专门用于旅行的储蓄账户，每周存一小笔钱，持续三年。根据你设定的时间计划你的步骤，它们将是可行的，并顺利地融入你的生活。由此可知，本句是在说明为目标设定一个时间期限。故E选项“为每个目标设定一个期限，无论是一年还是五年”符合上下文语境，故选E。

Throughout life,we come across many people who impact us in a way.The person who left a

great impact on me is my dad.

Three months after turning fourteen,my life was great.I was getting settled into a high school; my grades were already starting off greatly and I was making friends.One day as I came home from school,I walked into our living room,finding my mom and dad talking.My parents turned to me and told me to sit down because there was something important they had to tell me.I soon found out that my dad’s liver(肝脏)was failing and he needed an immediate transplant.I was shocked and confused.He was working and never looked sick.My parents told me not to worry because everything would be fine.Four months had passed and my dad still had not received a new liver;he was progressively getting worse.His body seemed to be getting weaker,but he constantly said he was fine.

It was getting hard for my family and me.My dad had to quit his job leaving my mom to be the only provider.I had to take on the responsibility of cleaning the house,cooking meals and checking on my dad while my mom was at work.I had to cut back on hanging with my friends because my dad was beginning to go in and out of the hospital.My focus for school was starting to slip.So were my grades.Two nights before my school spring break,my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in a car accident and that he was in hospital.Surprisingly,my dad hadn’t received a scratch on him.Then next night my mom received a call from the doctor stating that there was a liver that matched my dad’s body and that he needed to get to the hospital immediately.

Para.1

My mom and I rushed to the hospital and my dad was brought into surgery.
