Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Jack was born without eyes.He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with,and was used to people from the moment he was born.However,when it came time to find the kittens’ homes,no one knew where Jack would end up.
That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend.All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens?There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking,I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room.After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything.At times he gets lost in the house,he’ll stop.But we just call him and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack,we got a new farm cat named Bear.Jack and Bear have become best friends.It doesn’t matter that he can’t see.He always knows when Bear is around.He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug.They run after each other around and wrestle.They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration.I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life,but Jack is the happiest and most playful.He doesn’t feel sorry for himself.He doesn’t need pity.I think Jean,owner of Gumbo,another eyeless cat,said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disability,they have adaptability.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小猫Jack一出生就没有双眼,后来来到了“我”的家中。文章主要讲述了Jack在“我”家的生活状况,由此表达了“我”对Jack自立自强精神的欣赏。
1.Why did Jack come to our home? A.I cared for an eyeless cat.
B.I didn’t mind whether he was blind. C.No other young cats kept him company. D.My friend begged me to take him home. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段可知,“我”并没有因为这只小猫看不见就不要它。故B项正确。 2.Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors. B.Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat. C.Jack quickly adapts to the new environment. D.Jack is good at talking and playing with people. 答案C 1
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“He’ll run across the yard...and wrestle.”可知,Jack和Bear在院子里摔跤,而不是在室内,故排除A项;选项B中“a new eyeless cat”与倒数第二段中的“... we got a new farm cat...”不符;根据倒数第二段内容可知,Jack和新来的猫Bear关系最好,故排除D项;根据第三段Jack来到“我”家以后的表现可以看出它很快适应了新环境。故C项正确。
3.What does the underlined word “issues” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Trouble. B.Fun. C.Luck. 答案A 解析词义猜测题。根据语境可知,Jack刚到“我”家时,大部分时间都待在“我”的房间里。大约一天后,它就能毫无问题地跑来跑去、到处攀爬了。由此可推知,issue意为“问题”,与A项意思相近。
4.What can we learn from the passage? A.A cat has nine lives. B.All is well that ends well.
C.God helps those who help themselves. D.A good beginning makes a good ending. 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,尽管Jack看不见外面的世界,但他没有顾影自怜,也不需要同情,并且每天都过得很开心。由此可知,C项“自助者天助”符合题意。故C项正确。

This month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents’ homes,sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands.But summer vacation hasn’t always been a birthright of U.S.schoolchildren.Before the Civil War,schools operated on one of two calendars(日历),neither of which included a summer vacation.Rural(农村的) schooling was divided into summer and winter terms,leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons.Urban students,meanwhile,regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year,with one break per quarter.
In the 1840s,however,educational reformers like Horace Mann moved to combine the two calendars out of concern that rural schooling was not enough and that overusing of young minds could lead to nervous disorders.Summer appeared as the obvious time for a break:it offered a rest for teachers,fit in the farming calendar and reduced doctors’ concern that packing students into hot classrooms would promote the spread of disease.
D.Business.

But people’s opinion about the modern U.S.school year,which averages 180 days,is still divided.Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break,which took hold in the early 20th century,is one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of U.S.high schoolers ranked well below average in two international education reports published in 2007.Others insist that with children under increasing pressure to devote their downtime to internships (实习) or study,there’s still room for an institution that protects the lazy days of childhood.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国中小学教学学时的变化历程和暑假的由来。
5.What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do? A.Enjoy a summer vacation. B.Take a break each quarter. C.Have 48 weeks of study a year. D.Assist their parents with farm work. 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中“Rural(农村的) schooling was divided into ...leaving kids free to help with the farm work...”可知,美国内战前农村学校的学时分为夏冬两季,主要目的是让孩子能够在春秋季休假中帮助家里做农活,由此选D项。 6.What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s? A.They introduced summer vacation. B.They shortened rural school terms. C.They promoted the study of farming. D.They advocated higher pay for teachers. 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the 1840s,...moved to combine the two calendars out of...Summer appeared...”可推知,19世纪40年代,教育改革者结合了当时农村和城市学校学时的优缺点,开始设置暑假作为统一的休假期,由此可知选A项。
7.Why are some people unhappy about the modern U.S.school year? A.It pushes the teachers too hard. B.It reduces the quality of education. C.It ignores science instruction. D.It includes no time for internships. 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第三段“...Some experts say...is one of the reasons...below average...”可推知,一些专家认为,由于暑假的原因,导致很多美国学生学业荒废、学习懒惰,从而使得他们的学业成绩要远低于国际平均水平,因此选B项。根据第三段知,该段并未提到对教师的影响,故排除A项;根据第三段“...there’s still room for an institution...”可知,文章提到制度保障,而不是C项中的instruction“指导、说明”,C项属于概念的偷换,故排除;根据第

三段“...to devote their downtime to internships(实习) or study...”可知,由于压力的增大,很多学生会利用“停工期”去实习或学习,故并不是没有时间去实习,所以排除D项。 Ⅱ.七选五
