【答案】B
【解析】

2. The quality of education in this small school is better than ______ in some larger schools.
A. that B. one
C. it D. this
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意：这所小学校的教育质量要好于一些大学校。句中代词代指不可数名词the quality of education，故用代词that。代词it和one都代指可数名词单数。故选A。代词it, one和that都可指代前面提到的名词。一般说来，it指代同名同物；one与that则指代同名异物，但one为泛指，相当于a／an＋名词，只可代指可数名词；that为特指，相当于the＋名词，可以代指不可数名词。one既可代替事物，也可代替人，that只能代替事物而不能代替人。掌握好这些知识就不难选出答案。

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：——我相信汤姆这次会通过驾驶考试的。——当然。过去三周他一直在为考试做准备。根据“Tom will pass the driving test this time”和时间状语“for the last three weeks”可知，此处表示prepare“准备”的行为从过去一直持续到现在，且很有可能持续下去，因此时态应用现在完成进行时，空处应用has been preparing。故选C。
8. On the last day of their week-long stay, John, as well as his friends, ________ to attend a private concert on a beautiful farm on the North Shore under the stars.
A. invited B. was invited C. were invited D. had been invited

【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：据说Marry明天将出发去伦敦。且sb. be said to do sth为固定句型，表示“据说某人要做某事”，根据tomorrow可知为将来要发生的动作，用不定式的一般式，故选A项。

14. （2015·天津）The boss of the company is trying to create an easy atmosphere _______his employees enjoy their work.
A. where B. which
C. when D. who
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：公司老板正尽力创造一种轻松的气氛，在这种气氛中，其员工喜欢他们的工作。句中先行词为atmosphere，在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。故选A。
【名师点睛】本题考查定语从句。定语从句是高考重点考查知识之一，分析定语从句需要牢牢抓住两点：第一、找准先行词。第二、看先行词在从句中所作的成分。抓住这两点，再根据句意，从而能够判断出正确的关系词。
15. —Hi, Bob, are you all right __________
—Well, I just had a terrible quarrel with my best friend.
A. Do you think so B. Don’t mention it.

点睛：1. 完形填空解题技巧之一：上下联系—寻信息。完形填空中经常会出现前面的信息为后面的空白提供暗示，而后面的信息有可能是前面空白的答案的情况。这时，要联系上下文，寻求信息以确定答案。第18小题，考生可以根据前两句中的“wallet”和第三段中的“wallet”来确定答案。
2. 完形填空解题技巧二：左顾右盼—找搭配。英语中，有些单词词义相近，而句型结构及跟其他词的搭配却截然不同。考生不能单从词义上去辨析，而应审查空白前后的名词、动词、介词或非谓语动词等，比较与各选项的搭配关系，然后确定答案。在33题中，考生可以根据该空前的faith确定搭配关系。如果考生从show来入手，那么就很困难了。
第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50分)

B
When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.

Does the lemon, the famous fruit of Limone, contain a secret ingredient that fights heart disease Limone a small lemon-growing town on the shores of Lake Garda in nor hem Italy, holds a mystery which has made it popular with tourists in search of heath. About 30 years ago scientists discovered that many people from the town had a unique protein (蛋白质) in their blood. Thanks to it, the town’s people remained unaffected by heart disease even if they smoked, drank alcohol or ate large quantities of animal fat.
The discovery was wonderful for the people who lived in Limon; nowadays a million tourists visit their town between March and November each year. That makes 4,000 tourists per day—four times the actual population of the town. It is popularly believed that the protein must come from the lemons, which the town has grown for centuries. Until the discovery of the protein, the fruit was the only real source of income for the townspeople.
Lemons, which were brought to Europe from the Middle East in the 12th century, have many well-documented power. Over the years they have been used to treat all sorts of illnesses. At its peak in the 19th century , the lemon industry in Limone produced as many as 15 million of the fruit annually. The crop was so successful because of the situation of Lake Garda: although it is relatively far north, it is protected from the winner cold by the mountains which surround it.
Nowadays, sadly, competition from southern lemon producers has meant that Limone concentrates more on its tourist industry than on lemon growing. The few remaining growers still produce the best quality lemon, however. Signor Ezio Ceruti, a lemon producer, says, “To grow these lemons you need to love the trees and learn from the old people who still remember how it was once done. The trees respond by being healthy and producing beautiful fruit.” Although scientists do not yet know for certain whether this fruit contains the magic ingredient that protect the people of Limone against heart disease, a local lemon producer’s recommendation for health is simple: each day slice a whole lemon into a cup, fill with boiling water, cover, leave overnight, then strain and drink.

Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television And, if so, is that a good thing Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的).
“We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added.
Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.
Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet ” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander
But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon (现象): the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right.
51. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children .
A. find effective solutions to social problems
B. improve the ability to learn knowledge
C. have time to think and have their imagination developed
D. communicate more with their parents and friends
52. What’s the author’s attitude towards the action of parents in Paragraph 4
A. Negative B. Hopeful
C. Positive D. Unconcerned
53. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph
A. Sending emails on a train.
B. Playing games with friends.
C. Planning constant activity for children.
D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views.
54. The author mentioned the train journey to show that .
A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring
B. the view of the countryside was beautiful
C. people had too much work to do
D. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days.
B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine.
C. Electronic devices are always good for children.
D. Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。现在人们都使用手机等电子产品来避免无聊，而作者认为无聊的存在是有其意义的——可以让孩子们在无聊中对一些问题进行思考。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Julie Robinson说的话“Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第三段中“The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.(传统观念认为孩子应该不断活跃，这会阻碍他们想象力的发展。因此，任何能够提高更深思熟虑的事情都会受到热烈欢迎。)”可知，Julie Robinson认为无聊是有用的，因为它能让孩子们有时间思考，且发展他们的想象力，故选C。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet ” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. (现在，当父母听到孩子抱怨无聊时，他们会感到一种失败感。他们寻找一种可以立即玩游戏的电子设备。在长途汽车旅行中，我们再也不会因为不耐烦地问“我们到了吗 ”而感到无聊，因为各种各样的电子设备已经随身携带，以避免哪怕是一分钟的无聊)”和第五段中“But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. (但不仅仅是孩子们需要反思，大人们也需要)”可知，当父母听到孩子感到无聊时，总是给他们电子设备让他们来玩游戏，这使得孩子没有时间进行反思，由此可推知，作者对第四段中父母的行为持否定态度，故选A。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon (现象): the fear of “inactivity”. (今天早上在去上班的火车上，我看不到一个人不使用电子设备。没有人只是简单地向窗外看县城的美景。没有时间安静的思考，即使在安静的图书馆。有邮件要发，有短信要读，有游戏要玩。更广阔的世界，似乎并不存在。手机已经改变了我们生活中的许多事情，并且已经使成年人和儿童都无法生活在当下。朱莉·罗宾逊认为这是一个跨代现象：对“不活跃”的恐惧。)”可知，“不活跃”现象指的是人们安静的这种状态，即上文提到的无聊现象，如今人们害怕无聊，所以会经常看手机，或者不间断的做一些打发无聊的事情。由此可推知，D项“望着窗外美丽的景色”被认为是一种“不活跃”现象，故选D。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device.

【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第四段中“Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求。)
Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities.
Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.”
Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said.
His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said.
Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right.
Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said.
56. What is the main purpose of the program at Spirit Club (no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
57. What was Jared Ciner before he created Spirit Club (no more than 15 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
58. What is Jared Ciner’s view on organized physical activities (no more than 13 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
59. How does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean (no more than 2 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of Spirit Club Give reasons in your own words. (no more than 25 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. To help people be active and healthy.
57. He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms.
58. It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem.
59. Great progress.
60. I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other.
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。报道了精神俱乐部的健康和健身计划，该计划专注于帮助残疾人保持活跃和健康。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.(我们的主要重点和其他任何健身房一样，就是帮助人们积极和健康，但不同的是，我们确实做了一些改变，以确保它是适合我们工作的人的节奏，这样每个人都能跟上)”可知，精神俱乐部活动的主要目的是帮助人们保持活跃和健康。故回答：To help people be active and healthy.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms.(Ciner曾在当地一家旨在帮助残疾人的组织担任主管，并在健身房担任兼职私人教练)”可知，Ciner在创建精神俱乐部之前曾在当地一家机构担任主管，并在健身房担任私人教练。故回答：He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段““That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said.(Ciner说：“这让我意识到有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，提高人们的自尊心。”)”可知，Ciner认为有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，增强他们的自尊。故回答：It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem.
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据前文“Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now.(智障人士艾伦·布拉德肖(Alan Bradshaw)已经来上课两年了。“他最近瘦了21磅，”他妈妈说。“他更外向了。当他刚开始的时候，他不能坐在地板上，不能在地板上坐下。他现在正在这么做)”可知，他更外向了，发生了很大的变化，所以推测an important step forward应是“很大的进步”之意，可替换为great progress。故填Great progress.
【60题详解】
开放性问题。本题可根据俱乐部的宗旨以及取得的成果方面进行回答，例如，可说它帮助人们保持健康和相互交流。故回答：I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other.

When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的).
Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

Does the lemon, the famous fruit of Limone, contain a secret ingredient that fights heart disease Limone a small lemon-growing town on the shores of Lake Garda in nor hem Italy, holds a mystery which has made it popular with tourists in search of heath. About 30 years ago scientists discovered that many people from the town had a unique protein (蛋白质) in their blood. Thanks to it, the town’s people remained unaffected by heart disease even if they smoked, drank alcohol or ate large quantities of animal fat.
The discovery was wonderful for the people who lived in Limon; nowadays a million tourists visit their town between March and November each year. That makes 4,000 tourists per day—four times the actual population of the town. It is popularly believed that the protein must come from the lemons, which the town has grown for centuries. Until the discovery of the protein, the fruit was the only real source of income for the townspeople.
Lemons, which were brought to Europe from the Middle East in the 12th century, have many well-documented power. Over the years they have been used to treat all sorts of illnesses. At its peak in the 19th century , the lemon industry in Limone produced as many as 15 million of the fruit annually. The crop was so successful because of the situation of Lake Garda: although it is relatively far north, it is protected from the winner cold by the mountains which surround it.
Nowadays, sadly, competition from southern lemon producers has meant that Limone concentrates more on its tourist industry than on lemon growing. The few remaining growers still produce the best quality lemon, however. Signor Ezio Ceruti, a lemon producer, says, “To grow these lemons you need to love the trees and learn from the old people who still remember how it was once done. The trees respond by being healthy and producing beautiful fruit.” Although scientists do not yet know for certain whether this fruit contains the magic ingredient that protect the people of Limone against heart disease, a local lemon producer’s recommendation for health is simple: each day slice a whole lemon into a cup, fill with boiling water, cover, leave overnight, then strain and drink.

Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television And, if so, is that a good thing Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的).
“We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added.
Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.
Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet ” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander
But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon (现象): the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right.
51. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children .
A. find effective solutions to social problems
B. improve the ability to learn knowledge
C. have time to think and have their imagination developed
D. communicate more with their parents and friends
52. What’s the author’s attitude towards the action of parents in Paragraph 4
A. Negative B. Hopeful
C. Positive D. Unconcerned
53. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph
A. Sending emails on a train.
B. Playing games with friends.
C. Planning constant activity for children.
D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views.
54. The author mentioned the train journey to show that .
A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring
B. the view of the countryside was beautiful
C. people had too much work to do
D. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days.
B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine.
C. Electronic devices are always good for children.
D Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone.

Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities.
Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.”
Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said.
His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said.
Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right.
Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said.
