Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined’ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
4. Why did the writer and the woman both came here
A. To have fun together. B. To enjoy the beautiful scenery.
C To take pictures of the landscape. D. To do research on the environment.
5. What made the writer feel annoyed
A. The woman was too noisy. B. Her camera stopped working.
C. She was forbidden to take photos there. D. The woman blocked her view.
6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive
A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The woman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections on________
A. the art of photography. B. the friendship between two strangers.
C. the writer’s attitude to the landscape. D. a particular life experience of the writer.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者曾经在想要拍下眼前的风景时被一名女士挡住了，这位女士欣赏了很久的风景，直到等得不耐烦的时候作者干脆将这位女士也拍进了照片里，反而是这位女士的存在使风景变得生动起来，这让作者产生了深刻的反思。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.(像我一样，这个女人来这里是为了停下来，叹口气，欣赏风景。)”可知，作者和这位女士都来这里欣赏美丽的风景。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view.(不幸的是，就在我拿出相机的时候，一个女人从后面走了过来，在我的视线前站稳了。)”可知，那个女人挡住了她的视线，这让作家感到恼火。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.(这片风景本身就很美，但由于这位女士的参与，它以某种方式复活并呼吸。)”可知，在作者看来，照片中这位女士的存在使照片如此生动。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒第二段“Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.(也许我们都住在彼此的空间里。也许这就是照片的目的：提醒我们，我们都欣赏美，我们都有一个共同的愿望，那就是快乐，渴望联系，渴望比我们更伟大的东西。)”和最后一段“That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.(那张照片是一个提醒，一个捕捉到的时刻，两个女人之间的无声对话，只隔着一块薄薄的玻璃。)”可知，这篇文章可以看作是作者对特定生活经历的反思。故选D。
C
It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on I think better that way.” But is that really true Does music help concentrate
Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance.
Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.
However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.
It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.”
“Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.”
8. What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Making it difficult for someone to concentrate.
B. Causing great excitement.
C. Making someone want to do something.
D. Making someone feel frightened.
9. What can we learn from the small study
A. Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music.
B. Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity.
C. Different types of music lead to different performances.
D. The volume of music affects concentration.
10. What do Taj and Danela have in common
A. They believe music doesn’t help concentrate.
B. They use music to help with their paper-writing.
C. They can’t focus on reading while listening to music.
D. They don’t listen to music while doing math problems.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Should Students Listen to Music B. Does Music Help Concentration
C. Is Music Related to Reading D. Can Music Change Mood
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐是否有助于集中注意力的问题。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第二段第一句“Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration.(研究几乎没有提供什么支持听音乐可以提高注意力的观点)”可知，本段主要讨论听音乐是否能提高注意力，结合画线单词上文和下文“Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting had a greater negative effect on task performance and concentration.(高强度的音乐，如嘻哈音乐更distracting，对任务表现和注意力有更大的负面影响)”可知，高强度的音乐，如嘻哈音乐是不能提高注意力的，是使人分心的，所以划线单词“distracting”的意思是“使人分心的”，和A选项“Making it difficult for someone to concentrate.(让人难以集中注意力)”意思相近，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration.(研究发现，音乐越响，注意力越差)”可知，音量会影响注意力，故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中的“Taj, a senior told me “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read.(Taj，一个高年级学生，他告诉我，“如果我听音乐并试图阅读，我会不能集中注意力”)”和最后一段中的““Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me.(Danela告诉我：“听音乐也许对阅读没有好处，但是当涉及到数学时，听音乐肯定有帮助。”)”可知，Taj和Danela的共同之处在于，他们在听音乐时，无法集中精力阅读，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段“It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on I think better that way.” But is that really true Does music help concentrate (老师很难决定是否允许学生在教室里听音乐。每次学生需要写文章或解决问题时，他们都会说：“我能戴上耳机吗？”我觉得这样更好。”但这是真的吗？音乐有助于集中注意力吗？)”可知，文章主要就听音乐是否有助于集中注意力进行了讨论，所以B项“Does Music Help Concentration (音乐有助于集中注意力吗？)”适合做文章的标题，故选B。
D
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.
And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
12. In this passage, who does the author wants to tell
A. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves.
B. readers how to be popular with people around.
C. parents how to control and guide their children.
D. people how to understand and respect each other.
13. Many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but actually most of them ________.
A. lack confidence
B. are much afraid of getting lost
C. dare not deal with problems single-handed
D. have much difficulty understanding each other
14. What does the author think of advertisements
A. Convincing. B. Influential. C. Advanced. D. Amazing.
15. During the teenage years, what should one learn to do
A. Find one’s real self.
B. Differ from others in as many ways as possible.
C. Get into the right reason and become popular.
D. Rebel against parents and the popularity wave.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲了青少年一方面叛逆，另一方面又跟随潮流，没有个性。作者认为青少年要发现自我，学会独立，这样才真正受人欢迎与尊重。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段“I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet.( 我听到许多父母抱怨他们十几岁的孩子很叛逆。我希望是这样。在你这个年龄，你应该远离你的父母。你应该学会自立。)”可知，作者想要告诉我们的是：青少年如何学会自己做决定。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.(青少年似乎也在用同样的方式来表示他们不同意父母的意见。他们中的大多数人都紧紧抓住彼此的手，以寻求安慰，而不是大胆地自己闯出一片天地。)”可知，大多数青少年确实表现出叛逆，但是却不敢独立行动，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.(对于一个青少年来说，站在流行的浪潮中走自己的路已经变得越来越难了。工业已经牢牢地占领了青少年市场。如今，每个青少年都可以从广告中学习什么是青少年应该拥有和成为的。)” 可推断，作者认为青少年受广告的影响很大。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.(发现自我。受欢迎的人是那些尊重你的人。这是唯一一种真正有价值的受欢迎程度。)” 可知，在青少年时期，一个人应该学会找到真正的自我。故选A项。

【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：电影制作的第一个重要因素是音效，通常是在拍摄完一个场景后添加的。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the sound effects，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。

【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆（James Cameron）在1997年的电影《泰坦尼克号》中与历史学家交谈，以确保细节正确。前面无不定冠词a或数词one限定，不止一位历史学家，用可数名词historian的复数形式。故填historians。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他的团队甚至花了100天时间建造了一艘全尺寸的模型船，更不用说里面的许多道具了。固定短语spend time (in) doing sth. (花时间做某事)。故填building。

Finally, it came to Jack’s turn. “My favorite superhero.” Jack started to read in front of the class, then he stopped. He was nervous and felt a bit silly, because his classmates all talked about superheroes like Iron Man, Thor, and Wonder Woman while he was the only one who talked about a real person.
“Go on, Jack.” Mrs. Evans encouraged, nodding at him with smiling eyes.
“My favorite superhero is Mary, my mom.” the class burst into laughter. Jack smiled, too, and wet his lips, “You might laugh at me for saying something like that.” He turned calm and peaceful, “But my mom is the most hard-working person in the world. She is a street sweeper for the city, always getting up before sunrise to start her job. It’s her commitment that keeps the street spotless, just with a broom (扫把) and her heart. With autumn coming， I realized how hard it is and that a real superhero doesn’t wear a cape (斗篷) or go on adventures. Besides， she raised us three kids alone. She loves us in her way, and we can feel it. Though we’re short in money, we seem never lack anything. A real hero takes care of his family. I’m helping her before going to school and hope to grew up and be half the hero my mom is.Thank you.”
After the speech. silence spread in the classroom. It was evident that the entire class was moved by Jake’s speech and got speechless.

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined’ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
4. Why did the writer and the woman both came here
A. To have fun together. B. To enjoy the beautiful scenery.
C. To take pictures of the landscape. D. To do research on the environment.
5. What made the writer feel annoyed
A. The woman was too noisy. B. Her camera stopped working.
C. She was forbidden to take photos there. D. The woman blocked her view.
6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive
A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The woman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections on________
A. the art of photography. B. the friendship between two strangers.
C. the writer’s attitude to the landscape. D. a particular life experience of the writer.
C
It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on I think better that way.” But is that really true Does music help concentrate
Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance.
Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.
However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.
It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.”
“Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.”
8. What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Making it difficult for someone to concentrate.
B. Causing great excitement.
C. Making someone want to do something.
D Making someone feel frightened.
9. What can we learn from the small study
A. Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music.
B. Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity.
C Different types of music lead to different performances.
D. The volume of music affects concentration.
10. What do Taj and Danela have in common
A. They believe music doesn’t help concentrate.
B. They use music to help with their paper-writing.
C. They can’t focus on reading while listening to music.
D. They don’t listen to music while doing math problems.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Should Students Listen to Music B. Does Music Help Concentration
C. Is Music Related to Reading D. Can Music Change Mood
D
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.
And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
12. In this passage, who does the author wants to tell
A teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves.
B. readers how to be popular with people around.
C. parents how to control and guide their children.
D. people how to understand and respect each other.
13. Many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but actually most of them ________.
A. lack confidence
B. are much afraid of getting lost
C. dare not deal with problems single-handed
D. have much difficulty understanding each other
14. What does the author think of advertisements
A. Convincing. B. Influential. C. Advanced. D. Amazing.
15. During the teenage years, what should one learn to do
A. Find one’s real self.
B. Differ from others in as many ways as possible.
C. Get into the right reason and become popular.
D. Rebel against parents and the popularity wave.

Valuable Lesson-My Favorite Superhero
After helping his mother Mary sweep, the street as usual, Jack waved goodbye to her and rushed to school. Reminding Jack of safety, Mary smiled and continued her work, with sweat streaming down. Weak and tired as she was, this brave woman still stuck to her job attentively.
In the classroom, Mrs. Evans asked her students to deliver a speech, themed My Favorite Superhero. As for the heated topic, the class got thrilled, hardly waiting to share their opinions. Finally, it came to Jack’s turn. “My favorite superhero.” Jack started to read in front of the class, then he stopped. He was nervous and felt a bit silly, because his classmates all talked about superheroes like Iron Man, Thor, and Wonder Woman while he was the only one who talked about a real person.
“Go on, Jack.” Mrs. Evans encouraged, nodding at him with smiling eyes.
“My favorite superhero is Mary, my mom.” the class burst into laughter. Jack smiled, too, and wet his lips, “You might laugh at me for saying something like that.” He turned calm and peaceful, “But my mom is the most hard-working person in the world. She is a street sweeper for the city, always getting up before sunrise to start her job. It’s her commitment that keeps the street spotless, just with a broom (扫把) and her heart. With autumn coming， I realized how hard it is and that a real superhero doesn’t wear a cape (斗篷) or go on adventures. Besides， she raised us three kids alone. She loves us in her way, and we can feel it. Though we’re short in money, we seem never lack anything. A real hero takes care of his family. I’m helping her before going to school and hope to grew up and be half the hero my mom is.Thank you.”
After the speech. silence spread in the classroom. It was evident that the entire class was moved by Jake’s speech and got speechless.
Finally, Mrs. Evans spoke. “That was fantastic. You teach us a mother’s bravery and love Your mom should be proud!” When returning to his seat, he received thumbs-up and admiring eyes from his classmates.
