B．Killedpainlessly.C．Takenhome. D．Buriedunderground.答案：B词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句“Itgottothepointwhereanawfuldecisionhadtobemadeifshecouldn'tstandinaweek.Itlookedlikedeathwaswinning.”可知，如果她一个星期后站不起来，那就到了不得不作一个很坏的决定的地步了，看来死神就要赢了。结合该句“ShewasgoingtobeputdownthatFriday.”可知，那个星期五，她将被杀死。故B项“无痛苦地被杀死”符合语境，故B项正确。2．Howdidtheauthorfeelwhenseeingthebirdstandingonherown?A．Surprised. B．Excited.C．Hopeful. D．Encouraged.答案：B推理判断题。根据第二段尾句“Iwasjustaboutintears.”可知，当看到她能站起来时，“我”快要哭了。据此可以推断，看到她站起来时，作者感到很激动，故B项正确。3．Whathappenedaftertheauthorwasdiagnosedwithcancer?A．Jessicatriedherbesttocheeruptheauthor.B．TheauthorwastooweaktocareaboutJessica.C．TheauthorgainedspiritualsupportfromJessica.D．Jessicacontinuedtodoeducationprogramsforschools.答案：C细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“WhenIfeltgoodenough,IwouldtakeJessicaoutforwalks.Jessicawouldalsocometomeinmydreamsandhelpmefightthecancertimeandtimeagain.”可知，当“我”感觉足够好的时候，“我”会带Jessica出去散步，Jessica也会出现在“我”的梦中，一次又一次地帮助“我”与癌症作斗争。据此可知，当作者被诊断为癌症后，作者从Jessica那里得到了精神支持，故C项正确。其他三项文章中都没有提及。4．Whichisthebesttitleofthetext?A．JessicaandMe B．AMagicMomentC．ABraveSoldier D．MySoulMate答案：A标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一只名为Jessica的鹰和“我”的故事，故A项最适合作为本文标题。阅读理解5Imaginethatthegenome(基因组)isabook.Thebookconsistsof23chapterswiththousandsofstoriesmadeupofparagraphs,wordsandlettersondifferentlevels.Thereareonebillionwordsinthebook,whichmakesitlongerthan5,000volumesthesizeofthisbook,oraslongas800Bibles.IfIreadthegenomeouttoyouattherateofonewordpersecondforeighthoursaday,itwouldtakemeacentury.IfIwroteoutthehumangenome,oneletterpermillimeter,mytextwouldbeaslongastheDanubeRiver.Thisisanenormousdocument,ahugevolume,acookbookofgreatlength,anditallfitsinsidetheextremelysmallnucleus(核)ofatinycellthatfitseasilyupontheheadofapin.Theideaofthegenomeasabookisnot,strictlyspeaking,evenametaphor(比喻).Itistruetoagreatextent.Abookisapieceofdigitalinformation,writteninone­directionalformanddefinedbyacodethattranslatesasmallalphabetofsignsintoalargedictionaryofmeaningsthroughtheorderoftheirgroupings.Soisagenome.TheonlycomplicationisthatallEnglishbooksreadfromlefttorightwhilesomepartsofthegenomereadfromlefttoright,andsomefromrighttoleft,thoughneverbothatthesametime.WhileEnglishbooksarewritteninwordsofdifferentlengthsusingtwenty­sixletters,genomesarewrittenentirelyinthree­letterwords,usingonlyfourletters.Andinsteadofbeingwrittenonflatpages,theyarewrittenonlongchainsofDNAmolecules(分子).Thegenomeisaverycleverbook,becauseintherightconditionsitcanbothphotocopyitselfandreaditself.1．Howdohumangenomesreadaccordingtothepassage?A．Onlyfromlefttoright.B．Onlyfromrighttoleft.C．Frombothdirectionsatthesametime.D．Fromonedirectionatatime.答案：D细节理解题。从第二段最后一句话“TheonlycomplicationisthatallEnglishbooksreadfromlefttorightwhilesomepartsofthegenomereadfromlefttoright,andsomefromrighttoleft,thoughneverbothatthesametime.”可以看出，部分基因组是从左向右读的，部分是从右向左读的，不过两者不同时发生。所以，基因组在某个时间内是向一个方向读的。2．Wecanlearnfromthepassagethatthehumangenome________.A．isaslongastheDanubeRiverB．canbeeasilyplacedontheheadofapinC．iscodedwithanalphabetoffourlettersD．issmartenoughtoreadandtakephotosofitself答案：C细节理解题。从最后一段第一句话“WhileEnglishbooksarewritteninwordsofdifferentlengthsusingtwenty­sixletters,genomesarewrittenentirelyinthree­letterwords,usingonlyfourletters.”可知，人类的基因组以四个字母为代码。3．Itcanbeconcludedthatthepassageismainlywrittenfor________.A．specialistsinthefieldB．generalreadersC．naturalscientistsD．readerswithacademicbackgrounds答案：B推理判断题。这篇短文以书籍作比喻，深入浅出地介绍了有关人类基因组的知识，所以不是一篇专著，而是为普通读者写的。阅读理解6SummerActivitiesStudentsshouldreadthelistwiththeirparents/carers,andselecttwoactivitiestheywouldliketodo.Formswillbeavailableinschoolandonlineforthemtoindicatetheirchoicesandreturntoschool.Beforechoicesarefinalised,parents/carerswillbeaskedtosigntoconfirmtheirchild'schoices.1．Whichactivitywillyouchooseifyouwanttogocamping?A．OUT. B．WBP.C．CRF.

B．Fourdays.C．Fivedays. D．Oneweek.答案：A推理判断题。根据题干中的信息“PottyaboutPotter”定位到最后一种活动来寻找答案。由关键信息“stayovernightinanapprovedYouthHostel”可知，将在一家青年旅舍逗留一夜，故可推知这个活动是持续两天。故选A。阅读理解7Hundredsofyearsago,aRomanarmycamenorthfromEnglandtomakewaronScotland.TheScots,abravepeople,lovedtheircountryverymuch.TheyfoughthardtodrivetheenemyoutofScotland,butthereweretoomanyRomans.ItlookedasiftheRomanswouldwin.Onenight,theleaderofScotsmarchedhissoldierstothetopofahill.“Wewillrestheretonight,mymen，”hesaid,“Tomorrowwewillfightonemorebattle.Wemustwinorwewilldie.”Theywereallverytired,sotheyatetheirsupperquicklyandfellasleep.Therewerefourguardsonduty,butthey,too,wereverytired,andonebyone,alsofellasleep.TheRomanswerenotasleep.Quicklytheygatheredatthefootofthehill.Slowlytheyclimbedupthehill,takingcarenottomakeasound.CloserandclosertheycametothesleepingScots.Theywerealmostatthetop.Afewminutesmore,thewarwouldbeover.Suddenly，oneofthemputhisfootonathistle(蓟).HecriedoutandhissuddencrywoketheScots.Inamoment,theywereontheirfeetandreadyforbattle.Thefightingwashardbutitdidnotlastlong.TheScotswipedouttheRomansandsavedtheircountry.Thethistleisnotabeautifulplant.Ithassharpneedlesalloverit.Fewpeoplelikeit.ButthepeopleofScotlandlikeditsomuchthattheymadeittheirnationalflower.1．AtfirstitlookedasiftheRomanswouldwinbecause________.A．theScotswerenotbraveB．thereweresomanyRomansC．theScotsdidnothaveagoodleaderD．theRomanshadthesupportfromtheScottish答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句“...butthereweretoomanyRomans”可知选B。2．“Wemustwinorwewilldie.”WhattheleaderoftheScotssaidmeans________.A．theyweresuretowinB．theycouldn'tescapefromdeathC．theywouldwinandthentheywoulddieD．theymusttryhardtowin，otherwisetheywouldbekilled答案：D推理判断题。从句意看D项是“Wemustwinorwewilldie.”的同义句。3．TheRomansclimbedupthehillquietlybecause________.A．theydidn'twanttowaketheScotsupB．theywantedtoreachthetopC．theywantedtocatchthefourguardsfirstD．theywereafraidofthesharpneedlesofthethistle答案：A细节理解题。根据文章第四段第三句“Slowlytheyclimbedupthehill,takingcarenottomakeasound.”可知他们不发出声音，以免弄醒苏格兰士兵，以期将其全部歼灭。故选项A是正确答案。4．ThepeopleofScotlandmadethistletheirnationalflowerbecause________.A．itisabeautifulplantB．itisfreshandlovelyC．ithassomanysharpneedlesalloveritD．itwasthethistlethathelpedtheScotstowinthebattle答案：D推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知，罗马人静悄悄地进攻苏格兰人，就要突袭苏格兰人，这时其中一个人踩到了thistle而大叫，吵醒了苏格兰人，他们把罗马人赶出苏格兰，取得胜利。所以苏格兰人认为是这种花帮助他们赢得战争胜利。从此以后苏格兰人将thistle定为国花。阅读理解8Whetherintheworkplaceoronthefootballfield,effectiveteamworkcanproduceamazingresults.However,workingsuccessfullyasateamisnotaseasyasitmayseem.Effectiveteamworkcertainlydoesnotjusthappenautomatically;ittakesagreatdealofhardworkandcompromise.Thereareanumberoffactorsthatmustbeinplacetomakeagoodteam.Effectiveleadershipisoneofthemostimportantcomponentsofgoodteamwork.Theteam'sleadershouldpossesstheskillstocreateandpreserveapositiveworkingenvironmentandmotivateandinspiretheteammemberstotakeapositiveapproachtoworkandbehighlycommitted.Aneffectiveteamleaderwillpromoteahighlevelofspiritandmakethemfeelsupportedandvalued.Communicationisavitalfactorofallinterpersonalrelationshipandespeciallythatofateam.Teammembersmustbeabletoarticulatetheirfeelings,expressplansandgoals,shareideasandseeeachother'sopinions.Conflictswillarisenomatterhowwellateamfunctionstogether.Thebestwaytodealwithconflictsistohavesomeorganizedmethodsofhandlingconflicts.Teammembersshouldbeabletovoicetheirconcernswithoutfearofoffendingothers.Insteadofavoidingconflictissues,ahands­onapproachthatsettlesthemquicklyismuchbetter.Itisoftenadvisedthattheteamleadersitwiththeconflictingpartiesandhelpworkouttheirdifferenceswithouttakingsidesandtrytoremainobjectiveifpossible.Theteamleadermustsetagoodexampletocreategoodteamwork.Inordertokeepteammemberspositiveandcommittedandmotivated,theteamleaderherself/himselfneedstoshowthesequalities.Theteamturnstotheleaderforsupportandguidance.Soanynegativewordsorbehavioursontheleader'spartcanbedisastrous.Regardlessofwhattypeofworkyouarein,knowinghowtoeffectivelyworkwithateamisgoingtobeextremelyimportanttoyoursuccessandthatofyourteam.1．Effectiveleadershipisimportantpartlybecause_______.A．itcreatesapositiveworkingenvironmentB．ithelpsaleadertodeveloplotsofskillsC．itmakesaleaderfeelsupportedandvaluedD．itdependsoninterpersonalrelationshipofateam答案：A细节理解题。第二段谈到了团队领导者的重要性，说他必须能创造和保持积极的工作环境(createandpreserveapositiveworkingenvironment)，鼓励成员们积极地工作。从该段的叙述可知A项正确。2．Theunderlinedword“articulate”probablymeans________.A．hide B．feelC．plan D．express答案：D词义猜测题。由画线词后面的“expressplansandgoals,shareideasandseeeachother'sopinions”可推测团队成员要能够“表达”他们的感受，而不是隐藏、感觉或计划自己的感受。3．Whichisthebesttitleforthepassage?A．FootballandTeamworkB．CommunicationandTeamworkC．WhatMakesEffectiveTeamworkD．HowtoHandleConflictsinaTeam答案：C标题判断题。全文介绍了如何使团队高效运作。第一段提出主题：要想拥有一个高效团队，有很多因素需要考虑，然后从领导者的作用、交流的重要性、如何解决争端等方面展开叙述。因此本文的核心话题是C“高效的团队工作的要素”。阅读理解9Onceagain,Iwasinanewschool.SowasagirlinmyclassnamedParis.That'swherethesimilaritiesended.Iwastallandshewasshort.Iwasoneoftheoldestintheclasswhileshewastheyoungest.Iwasawkward(笨拙的)andshy.Shewasn't.Icouldn'tstandher,consideringhermyenemy.Butshewantedtobefriendswithme.Oneday,sheinvitedmeoverandIsaidyes—Iwastooshockedtosayno.Actuallynoonehadinvitedmeovertoplaybefore.Butthisgirl,whoworethelatestfashions,wantedtoseeme.Shelivedonthefourthfloorinatwo­roomplacewithhermother,herstepfather,hertwobrothersandhersister.Whenwegottotheroomshesharedwithhersister,shetookoutabigcaseofBarbieswhichwasmynextsurprise.Iwouldhavethoughtshe'doutgrown(长大而放弃)them.Ihadneverplayedwiththem.Butwesatonthefloorofawalk­incupboardlaughingaswemadeupcrazystoriesabouttheBarbies.That'swhenwefoundoutthatwebothwantedtobewriterswhenwewereolder.Webothhadwildimaginations.Wehadagreatdaythatafternoon.Ourjaws(下巴)achedfromsmilingsomuch.Sheshowedmeheroutfits(全套服装),whichhadmostlycomefromadesignerclothingstore(时装设计店)downtheblock.Thewomanwhoowneditusedherasamodelsometimesforhernewspaperadsandgaveherclothesinexchange.Parishadthewholeneighborhoodattracted.Thebookstoreownerslentherfashionmagazines,themovietheatergaveherfreepassesandthepizzaplaceletherhavefreepieces.SoonIwasincludedinhermagicworld.Wesleptoverateachother'shouses,spenteveryfreemomenttogether.MydarkhairgrewoutandIlearnedtolovebeingtall.Paris,myfirstrealfriendsincechildhood,helpedmegetthroughthetoughteenageyearsandtaughtmeanamazingthingaboutmakingfriends:your“worstenemy”canturnouttobeyourbestfriend.1．Whichofthefollowingismostprobablythebesttitle?A．AstoryaboutParisB．AnunlikelybestfriendC．LifeinanewschoolD．Asecretofhowtomakefriends答案：B标题判断题。作者在文中回忆了最初结识Paris的时候，觉得不能忍受她，所以把她当做自己的敌人，后来她们成了最要好的朋友。故B项切题。2．ThewriterandParisweresimilarinthat________.A．bothofthemwerenewstudentsB．bothofthemwerefriendlyC．bothofthemweretallD．bothofthemweretheyoungestinclass答案：A细节理解题。从第一段中的“Onceagain,Iwasinanewschool.SowasagirlinmyclassnamedParis.”可以看出两人都是刚到这所学校。故答案为A。3．InthearticlethewriterdescribesParisasagirlwhowas________.A．awkwardandshy
