(这很奇怪，因为我们都不是‘问题’学生)”推知，作者对被叫去办公室感到吃惊是因为他们不是问题学生。故填：Becausetheywerenot“problem”students.2．考查细节理解。根据第二段的“Itwasaverystrangemoment;IneverrealizedIwasthatexcellent.Shesaid,sinceweallhadasimilarhighaverage,shewouldtalktoourteacherstoseewhowasthemostdeserving.(这是一个非常奇怪的时刻；我从没意识到自己这么优秀。她说，因为我们的平均成绩都差不多高，她会和我们的老师谈谈，看看谁最应该得到这个奖)”可知，因为这6个学生都同样优秀，所以学校要从他们中进行选择。故填：Becausetheywereallexcellent.3．考查词句猜测。根据划线词下文“livinginthebigcity,havingfinishedmydegree,doingwhatIlovedeveryday.(住在大城市，拿到学位，每天做自己喜欢的事情)”可知，作者描述了自己未来的生活。由此推知depicting意为“描述”，与describe同义。故填：Describe.4．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段的“Aboutaweeklater,Igotcalledbacktoheroffice,onlyme.Ididn’twanttobeoverexcitedbecausemaybeshewasbeingpersonal,tellingmeIwasn’tchosen.ShetoldmeIwastheonepicked.(大约一周后，我被叫回她的办公室，只有我一个人。我不想过于兴奋，因为她可能是出于个人原因，告诉我我没有被选中。她告诉我我是被选中的人)”可知，顾问再次叫作者去办公室是为了告诉他他被学校选中了。故填：Totellhimhewaschosenbytheschool.5．开放性问题。结合文章主旨，答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如：Iwanttosaytothem:thankyouforyourhelpandrecognition,whichgivesmetheconfidencetosucceed.二、1．Helivedaloneandnobodywatchedoutfor/lookedafter/tookcareof/caredforhim.或：Helivedalonewithnobodywatchingoutfor/lookingafter/takingcareof/caringforhim.或：Nobodywatchedoutfor/lookedafter/tookcareofhim.或：Nobodyhelpedhimwhenhehadproblems/nobodyhelpedhimwhenhewasinneed.2．Herfathersendsherane-maileverymorningtotellherwhathedid.或：Sheknowswhathedid/hiseverydayactivitiesfromhise-mailsenteverymorning.或Sheknowsthatherfatherlivesafulllife/anactivelife.或：Herfatherenjoyshiscolorfullife.Herfatherhashisownsocialcircle/sociallife.或：Herfatherhasalotofthings/interestingthingstodo/isnotlonelyatall.4．Developed/created/produced.5．Heishumorous.HesaidhewasclimbingMountWashingtonwhenhewasworkingonahookedrugwithasceneofthemountain.或：Heisamanfulloflove.Hecloseseverye-mailwith“Allmylove,Dad”.或：Heiscleverandkeepsupwithdevelopment.或：HeisstillabletomanagecomputersandtheInternetathisage.本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的母亲去世后，作者和妹妹因为担心父亲一个人生活，而让父亲每天给她们发邮件来确定平安。而这些邮件增进了他们之间的感情。1．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Whenmymotherpassedawayafewyearsago,my85-year-oldfatherwasleftaloneinthelargehousetheyhadsharedfor50years.Withouthertowatchoutforhim,heworriedaboutwhowouldfindhimandhelpif“somethinghappened.”(几年前，我母亲去世了，我85岁的父亲独自留在他们共同居住了50年的大房子里。没有她照顾他，他担心如果“发生了什么事”，谁会找到他并帮助他。)”可知，作者对父亲的担忧是父亲一个人生活没有人可以照顾他。而且作者还担心万一有事发生，没有人帮助他。故答案为Helivedaloneandnobodywatchedoutfor/lookedafter/tookcareof/caredforhim.或：Helivedalonewithnobodywatchingoutfor/lookingafter/takingcareof/caringforhim.或：Nobodywatchedoutfor/lookedafter/tookcareofhim.或：Nobodyhelpedhimwhenhehadproblems/nobodyhelpedhimwhenhewasinneed.2．考查推理判断。根据第三段“He’susuallyupatdawn,andhishalfadozenorsosentencesarewaitinginmyinboxwhenIwakeup.(他通常在黎明就起床了，当我醒来时，他的半打左右的邮件或者说句子就在我的收件箱里等着我。)”以及第四段“Thereportshavebecomemorethanadailycheck,though:They’readiaryofsorts,astimulationformoreextendedconversations,andasourceofinsightintohislife.Throughthem,Dadtellsusabouthisdailyroutines.(不过，这些报告已经不仅仅是每天的检查：它们是某种日记，是对更深入对话的激励，也是对他生活的洞察。通过它们，爸爸告诉我们他的日常生活。)”可推断，作者是通过爸爸每天早晨发来的邮件来了解爸爸的日常生活。故答案为：Herfathersendsherane-maileverymorningtotellherwhathedid.或：Sheknowswhathedid/hiseverydayactivitiesfromhise-mailsenteverymorning.3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Ifindhisrepeatedactivities—current-eventsdiscussiongrouponTuesdaynights,ChessClubonWednesdayafternoons,andcoffeewithfriendsonSundaymorning—reassuring(使人放心的).(我发现他重复的活动——周二晚上时事讨论小组，周三下午国际象棋俱乐部，周日早上和朋友喝咖啡——让我感到安心。)”可知，作者之所以感到安心，是因为作者知道自己的爸爸过着多姿多彩的生活，或者是因为作者知道自己的爸爸有事可做，并不孤单。故答案为：Sheknowsthatherfatherlivesafulllife/anactivelife.或：Herfatherenjoyshiscolorfullife.或：Herfatherhashisownsocialcircle/sociallife.或：Herfatherhasalotofthings/interestingthingstodo/isnotlonelyatall.4．考查词义猜测。根据第六段划线词上文“Nowthatsheisgone,hesharesthosefeelingsandhisexperienceswithus.(现在她走了，他和我们分享他的感受和他的经历。)”可知，作者的爸爸每天和作者分享他的经历。结合常识可猜测，这样的分享最终可以发展或产生他们之间的亲密关系。所以spawned为“产生、发展”之意。故答案为：Developed/created/produced.5．考查推理判断。根据第五段“Recentlyhetoldus,“I’veclimbedhalfwayupMountWashington!”GivenhisageanddistancefromNewHampshire,suchahikewasunlikely.Iwasconfusedforadayortwountilheremindedmehewasworkingonahookedrugwithasceneofthemountain.(最近他告诉我们：“我已经爬上了华盛顿山的半山腰!”考虑到他的年龄和距离新罕布什尔州的距离，这样的远足是不可能的。我困惑了一两天，直到他提醒我，他正在制作一张带有山景的钩形地毯。)”可知，作者的爸爸是个幽默的人。根据第六段“Eache-mailcloseswith“Allmylove,Dad.”(每封电子邮件的结尾都是“爱你的，爸爸。”)”可知，作者的爸爸是个有爱的人。根据最后一段“I’mgratefulmyfatherisstillabletomanagehiscomputerandtheInternet.(我很感激我的父亲仍然能够管理他的电脑和互联网。)”可知，作者的爸爸是个聪明的人，因为爸爸这么大年纪还能用电脑。故答案为：Heishumorous.HesaidhewasclimbingMountWashingtonwhenhewasworkingonahookedrugwithasceneofthemountain.或：Heisamanfulloflove.Hecloseseverye-mailwith“Allmylove,Dad”.或：Heiscleverandkeepsupwithdevelopment.或：HeisstillabletomanagecomputersandtheInternetathisage.三、1．Sheusedtofeelannoyed.2．Shehasapositiveattitudeandlovessinging.3．Zoewasnolongersinginglikeshenormallydid.4．Zoeusuallysingsallthetimeandprovidedthemusicforus.5．Singingoutloudsimplymeanssharingtheirhappinesswiththeworld.本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了我曾经不太喜欢听陌生人大声唱歌，但在喜欢唱歌的女儿佐伊一次病重后，几个星期她都不曾唱过歌，我才发现，原来唱歌是一种表达快乐的方式，我再也不讨厌陌生人唱歌给自己听。1．细节理解题。根据文章第一句“WheneverIheardstrangerssingingoutloud,whetheritwasinthesupermarketoronthestreet,Iusedtothinkhowannoyingitwas.（每当我听见陌生人大声唱歌,无论是在超市还是在大街上,我曾经认为是多么恼人的事情。）”可知，当作者听到陌生人唱歌时，她过去常常感到很恼火。故答案为Sheusedtofeelannoyed.2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句“Nomatterhowsickshegot,however,shealwayshadapositiveattitude.（然而，无论她病得多厉害，她总是有一个积极的态度。）”和第五段第二句“Zoeusuallysingsallthetime,whethershe’splaying,ridinginthecar,orjustdoingherhomework.（佐伊通常会一直唱歌，无论是在演奏、开车还是做作业。）”可推知，佐伊应该是一个热爱唱歌且态度积极的人。故答案为Shehasapositiveattitudeandlovessinging.3．词句猜测题。根据文章第五段第一句“Butthiswasdifferent:Zoewasnolongersinginglikeshenormallydid.（但这次不同了：佐伊不再像往常那样唱歌了。）”和第六段“Consumed(被折磨)withmymotherlyworries,itwasmoreconcerningtomethanhersickness.（我满脑子都是母亲般的忧虑，这比她的病更让我担心。）”结合语境可知，it指的是作为母亲的我对佐伊的担忧和忧虑，即佐伊不再像往常那样唱歌了。故答案为Zoewasnolongersinginglikeshenormallydid.4．细节理解题。根据文章第五段二、三句“Zoeusuallysingsallthetime,whethershe’splaying,ridinginthecar,orjustdoingherhomework.Therewasnoneedforaradioinourhouse;Zoeprovidedthemusicforus.（佐伊通常会一直唱歌，无论是在演奏、开车还是做作业。我们家不需要收音机：佐伊为我们提供了音乐。）”可知，作者说家里不需要收音机是因为佐伊通常会一直唱歌，为我们提供音乐。故答案为Zoeusuallysingsallthetimeandprovidedthemusicforus.5．细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Instead,Ismile,asIknowthatbysingingoutloud,they’resimplysharingtheirhappinesswiththeworld.（相反，我微笑着，因为我知道，通过大声唱歌，他们只是在与世界分享他们的快乐。）”可知，作者认为，对于人们来说，大声唱歌是为了与世界分享他们的快乐。故答案为Singingoutloudsimplymeanssharingtheirhappinesswiththeworld.四、1．Tomakekidsfinanciallyindependentandhelptheenvironment.2．Therequirementsof(or:beforeandafter)membership(or:beingaccepted).or:Whatakidshoulddobeforeandaftermembership(or:beingaccepted).3．Theyweredoubtfulaboutit.or:Theydidn’tsupportit.or:Theydidn’tunderstandit.or:Theyweren’toptimisticaboutit.4．Has/Owns/Possesses.5．Ithinktheeco-bankisenvironmentallyfriendly,becauseithelpstheenvironmentthroughrecycling.本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了秘鲁的一位男孩JoseAdolfoQuisocola创办生态银行的过程，这个银行让各个年龄段的孩子在经济上独立，更加明智地对待金钱，同时也保护环境。1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Later,theboyfromPerucameupwiththeideaofaneco-bank,theBartselanaStudentBank,whichallowskidsofallagestobecomefinanciallyindependentwhilealsohelpingtheenvironment.(后来，这个来自秘鲁的男孩想出了一个生态银行的主意，Bartselana学生银行，它让所有年龄的孩子在经济上独立，同时也有助于保护环境。)”可知，男孩创立生态银行旨在储蓄的同时又能保护环境，故答案为：Tomakekidsfinanciallyindependentandhelptheenvironment。2．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Tobecomeamember,akidhastobringinatleast5kilogramsofsolidwasteandsetasavinggoal.(要成为会员，一个孩子必须带进至少5公斤的固体垃圾，并设定一个节约目标。)”和“Onceaccepted,allbank“partners”arerequiredtodepositatleastoneadditionalkilogramofrecyclablesonamonthlybasisandobserveotherrequirements,suchasattendingfinancialeducationandenvironmentalmanagementworkshops.(一旦被接受，所有银行“合作伙伴”都必须每月存放至少一公斤额外的可回收物，并遵守其他要求，例如参加金融教育和环境管理讲习班。)”可知，这一段主要在讲入会的条件和入会后必须遵守的要求，故答案为：Therequirementsof(or:beforeandafter)membership(or:beingaccepted).or:Whatakidshoulddobeforeandaftermembership(or:beingaccepted)。3．推理判断题。根据
