At first, Carmen wasnt really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen, Ive noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board？” Carmen shook her head, saying “Im fine, Mrs Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor，” she said firmly. Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think Im a nerd (书呆子)，” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them，” her mother said. But Carmen didnt believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. “Whats wrong？” she asked.“My silver ring is gone！” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is，” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen，” Theresa said. “I didnt know you wore glasses. They look great！” “Thanks，” Carmen replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glasses wont be so bad after all，” she thought. 语篇解读：Carmen的眼睛近视了，但她因害怕同学们嘲笑而不愿意戴眼镜。但当她戴上眼镜的时候，却发现事实并非如此。21According to the text, Carmen _.Adoesnt like doing homeworkBoften tells lies to her teacherCcares how well she does in lessonsDhas trouble getting along with her classmates解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的“As it got worse, she became more and more worried.

So clear！”可知Carmen戴上眼镜的时候，发现一切都看得非常清楚，因此她感到很吃惊。23What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?AOther girls expect to have new glasses.BCarmen will get used to wearing glasses.CWearing glasses will make Carmen look beautiful.DCarmen hopes to receive more comments on her glasses.解析：选B推理判断题。根据文章最后两段同学们对她戴眼镜的称赞和最后一句“Maybe wearing glasses wont be so bad after all”可知Carmen会习惯戴眼镜的。24The purpose of the text is to tell readers _.Ahow to protect their eyesBnever to make fun of othersCthings arent always as bad as we expectDit is necessary to give a hand to those in trouble解析：选C写作意图题。本文通过讲述Carmen对戴眼镜的看法的改变过程，告诉我们有时候事情并不像我们想象中那么糟糕。BA sense of humour can brighten the family life. You can put on a silly hat and chase a 3yearold kid, or pretend to fall into a pile of leaves to amuse a firstgrader. As kids grow into preteens (about 11 or 12) and teens (13 to 19), you can share jokes as their sense of whats funny becomes better.Humour is what makes something funny; a sense of humour is the ability to recognize it. Someone with a welldeveloped sense of humour has the ability to recognize whats funny in others and can amuse them as well.A good sense of humour is a tool that kids can rely on throughout life to help them. Kids with a welldeveloped sense of humour are happier and more optimistic, have higher selfesteem, and can handle differences (their own and others) well. And a good sense of humour doesnt just help kids emotionally or socially. Research has shown that people who laugh more are healthier theyre less likely to be depressed and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems. They experience less stress, have lower heart rates, pulses, and blood pressure, and have a better digestion (消化能力). Laughter may even help humans better endure pain, and studies have shown that it improves our immune (免疫的) function. But most of all, a sense of humour is what makes life fun.We tend to think of humour as part of our genetic makeup, like blue eyes or big feet. But its not true. A sense of humour actually is a learned quality. Kids can start developing a sense of humour at a very young age. Babies dont really understand humour, but they do know when youre smiling and happy. When you make funny noises or faces and then laugh or smile, your baby is likely to sense your joy and imitate (模仿) you. Sometime between 9 and 15 months, babies know enough about the world to understand that when Mom puts a piece of cloth on her head, shes doing something unexpected and that its funny. To help kids at each stage of development, parents should know whats likely to amuse them.语篇解读：幽默感能够使整个家庭及其成员健康快乐，特别是对孩子来说尤为重要。家长可以根据孩子的年龄特点和身心发展来培养孩子的幽默感。25Which of the following people do you think can best share jokes with their parents?AA newborn baby.BAn elevenyearold kid.CA fiveyearold kid.DA fifteenmonthold baby.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段的“As kids grow into preteens (about 11 or 12) and teens (13 to 19), you can share jokes as their sense of whats funny becomes better”可以判断，一个十一岁的孩子是可以很好地理解笑话的。26It can be concluded from the third paragraph that a good sense of humour _.Ais one of the most important things needed for a kid to succeedBhelps kids make more friends throughout their lifeCcan improve a kids mental and physical healthDmay sometimes cause embarrassment解析：选C推理判断题。第三段内容介绍了幽默感对孩子的身心健康有好处。27Which of the following statements about a sense of humour is NOT true?AIt can make the family life bright.BIt is something that kids can rely on for all their life.CIt is something people are born with.DIt is the ability to recognize humour.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段的“We tend to think of humour as part of our genetic makeup, like blue eyes or big feet. But its not true. A sense of humour actually is a learned quality”可知，幽默感不是与生俱来的，而是后天习得的。28What is the passage mainly about?AThe reason why people should develop a sense of humour.BThe characteristics of kids sense of humour at different ages.CTips on how to develop a good sense of humour.DThe importance of a good sense of humour for kids.解析：选D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章主要讲了幽默感对孩子的重要性。CAlan worked in an office in the city.He worked very hard and really wanted to take a holiday.He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad in a newspaper，“Enjoy country life.Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm.Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing.Good prices.”“This sounds like a good idea，” he thought.“Ill spend a month at Willow Farm.Ill enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing.Theyll make a change from sitting by the seaside.”Four days later he returned home.“Whats wrong with Willow Farm？”his friend Jack asked him.“Didnt you enjoy country life？”“Country life was fine，” Alan said, “but there was another problem.”“Oh, what？”“Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”“Fresh meat is the best.”“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”“Lucky you！”“You dont understand，” Alan said.“On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”“A different roast every day，” Jack said.“Let me finish，” Alan said, “on the fourth day the farmer died and I didnt dare to stay for dinner！”语篇解读：本文主要讲了Alan在乡村度假的经历：第一天一只羊死了，他与村民们吃了烤羊肉；第二天一头牛死了，他与村民们吃了烤牛肉；第三天一头猪死了，他与村民们吃了烤猪肉；第四天农场主死了，Alan吓得回来了。29Alan worked _.Aon a farmBat a schoolCin a restaurant Din an office in a city解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的第一句“Alan worked in an office in the city.”可知答案。30Alan decided to spend his holiday at Willow Farm because _.Ahe lived near thereBhe had a good friend thereChe thought it would make a change from sitting by the seasideDhe wanted to enjoy the fresh air in the country解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段的“Theyll make a change from sitting by the seaside.”可知，因为他以前总是去海边度假，这次想改变度假的地方。31How many days did he stay on the farm?AA few days.

Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and mental scars (创伤). Often they relive (重温) these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly remove, the effects of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the USA and France. The drug stops the body giving out chemicals that fix memories in the brain. _37_38_ Some think it is a bad idea while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“_39_ They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions，” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry. “This could relieve (减轻) a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). _40_ “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were frightening at the time but make us who we are，” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.ANot all memories are sweet.BMemories are kept in our mind.CSome memories can ruin peoples lives.DMemories sometimes bring us happiness.EThe research has caused a great deal of argument.FThey also help us all stay away from the mistakes of the past.GSo far the research has shown that only the mental effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are removed.答案：3640AGEBF第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D )中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。We were driving along the village of Simdara.
