We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).One summer a friend remended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was dreading(害怕) this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You cant afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dreamed of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.24. The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis_.A. made him set a goal B. supplied him with new clothesC. gave him financial support D. helped him show conviction25. When the writer was offered a job, he wanted to _.A. balance summer baseball and the work scheduleB. refuse the job offer for summer baseballC. give up summer baseball for the jobD. ask his coach Jarvis for advice26. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence?A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.27. The end of the story was that the writer _.A. failed to buy his mother a houseB. succeeded as a sportsmanC. became a successful businessmanD. made some money in the summer job【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者是一个很有棒球天赋的人，但家境很差，为了挣钱他计划放弃暑期训练，后来在教练的要求下坚持训练，成为了成功的棒球运动员。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).可知Jarvis教练对我非常有信心，他还教我表现出自己的信念。ABC三项与本题无关。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing.可知如果作者在夏天要打工，他就要放弃暑期的棒球训练。故C项正确。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二行that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was dreading(害怕) this可知我不得不告诉教练我要放弃暑期训练，但我又非常害怕告诉他。划线句意为：勇敢面对自己导致的。A项“You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.”与之相符。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后两句I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.可知作者后来被职业棒球队选中，签署了数额巨大的合同，成为了职业的棒球运动员。在运动方面取得了成功。故B正确。CIts said that you dont know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. And you also dont know what its like for older people to travel until you acpany one on a trip.After flying with my elderly father from Washington, D.C. to L.A. in July, I began to realize that a panion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for older people. I booked nonstop tickets on JetBlue to avoid tiring, confusing connections, and we flew directly into small, manageable Long Beach Airport. Even though my father could walk, I arranged with the airline for wheelchair assistance, which meant we got on board first.When I took him back to the airport for his return flight to Washington, I got permission from JetBlue to wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checkpoint. I wished hed had a first-class seat and access to a fortable airline club. Better yet, I wish I had flown with him both ways. As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that took him from the tarmac（飞机跑道）to the plane, I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time.Things can go awry on a plane trip. And then there is the horrifying story about Joe and Margie. When they landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection. But somehow Margie, who had Alzheimers disease, disappeared.I didnt need to worry about my father wandering away; at 82, his mind was sharper than mine. But his hearing was poor, so I worried about what would happen if he missed an important announcement. Fortunately, everything went just fine. Careful planning made the trip successful.Next time I travel with a senior, Ill know better. I hope there will be a next time.28. Why did the man buy nonstop tickets?A. His father was tired of flights.B. He had important tasks to do.C. He cared about his father.D. His schedule was tight.29. How did the author feel when seeing his father off?A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Worried. D. Sad.30. What does the underlined part “go awry” probably mean?A. be amused. B. carry on as usual.C. live up to ones expectation. D. be away from the correct course.31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Taking a trip does great good to seniors.B. It is a pleasant experience to travel with seniors.C. To have a long journey with seniors is unpractical.D. A good arrangement ensures seniors to take a nice trip.【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者陪同父亲飞行以后发现有人陪伴会让老人的旅行更容易更快乐。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段第二句I booked nonstop tickets on JetBlue to avoid tiring, confusing connections, and we flew directly into small, manageable Long Beach Airport.可知作者nonstop tickets是为了避免麻烦。说明作者非常关心他的父亲，不愿意给他带来不必要的麻烦。故C项正确。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that took him from the tarmac（飞机跑道）to the plane, I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time.可知当空乘人员推着父亲登上飞机的时候，我感觉像是妈妈第一次送孩子上学一样担心，担心他出什么问题。故C项正确。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据本段最后一句But somehow Margie, who had Alzheimers disease, disappeared.可知安排好的事情也会有意外情况出现。故划线短语和D项“be away from the correct course”意义一致。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句After flying with my elderly father from Washington, D.C. to L.A. in July, I began to realize that a panion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for older people.可知作者陪同父亲飞行以后发现有人陪伴能够让老人的旅行更容易更快乐。故D项正确。DBy trying to tickle(挠痒痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“Its truly ground-breaking,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Lets go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous,” said Daniel OConnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”32. What contributed to humans being ticklish according to Aristotle?A. Their special skin.B. Their social pleasure.C. Their nervous system.D. Their willingness to touch.33. Why did the researchers make use of electrical currents?A. To discover the special group of nerve cells.B. To experiment on different animals.C. To follow the process of tickling.D. To prove their finding.34. Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?A. The research process is full of risks.B. The finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.C. The new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.D. The finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.35. What is the best title for the text?A. The Life of RatsB. How Rats LaughC. A Wonderful ScientistD. A New Discovery about Rats【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D【解析】本文是一篇科普说明文，科学家通过实验证明人类并不是唯一的怕痒的动物，老鼠和人类会产生同样的情绪。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.可知人类怕痒，主要是因为人类的皮肤薄，而且还有笑的能力。故A项正确。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated that area with electrical currents.可知为了确保能够发现脑部有挠痒痒起作用的区域，Ishiyama用电流刺激老鼠的身体部分。科学家们这样做是为了证明自己的发现。故D项正确。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段首尾句“Its truly ground-breaking,” “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”可知这项新发现可以把对情绪的研究推向一个新水平。故C项正确。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段内容可知一项新的发现告诉我们人类并不是唯一的一个怕痒的动物，老鼠会怕痒。以前亚里士多德曾经认为只有人类才怕痒，文章对这一新发现进行了详细说明。故D项正确。第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The ability to stay positive is one of the most important skills for us. Why is this? The reason is that we will spend most of our lives setting and trying to achieve goals. Everyone has dreams. Everyone wants to know deep down inside that they were put here to do something great. _36_ The second you set a goal, difficulties will begin to appear to stand in your way. Most people let these challenges rob them of the life they really want.If you want to achieve greatness, if you want to experience the best life possible, then be prepared to get knocked down over and over. _37_ This explains why there are so many people who have stopped trying to reach their dreams.So how do you remain positive regardless of what type of challenge you are facing? It all es down to how you choose to respond to any situation as well as what you decide to focus on. No matter how bad your situation is, you can always find something good in it._38_If you keep focusing on how bad you have it, how are things supposed to get any better? _39_Of course it is. If this is true, why even bother thinking positively? That is because if you do, you have a chance to make things better. If you dont, things will usually get a lot worse.Realize that challenges are a part of life._40_ Its what makes reaching a goal worth it. If you were able to get everything you wanted without even trying, the victory wouldnt taste as sweet.A.Everyone will have to go through them.B.Staying positive can be beneficial in many ways.C.Staying positive during situations like this is not easy.D.You can do things like reading positive books or listening to positive songs.E.Is it possible to be positive and still have your circumstances get even worse?F.However, the problem is that life is tough.G.So what you can do is start focusing on what is good.【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. A【解析】本文是一篇策略性短文，强调了在生活中保持积极态度的重要性，并提出了保持积极态度的建议。【36题详解】根据横线后句“The second you set a goal, difficulties will begin to appear to stand in your way.你设立目标的时候，困难就随之而来了。”可知横线句与前句表示转折关系，虽然每个人都有目标，但生活中的困难会让我们的目标难以实现。故F项符合上下文串联。【37题详解】根据横线后句“This explains why there are so many people who have stopped trying to reach their dreams.这就可以解释为什么有很多人不再追逐自己的梦想了。”可知当人们遇见困难的时候很难保持乐观。故C项符合上下文语境。【38题详解】横线前句“No matter how bad your situation is, you can always find something good in it.无论情况多么糟糕，你都要找到其中的好的方面。”找到积极的方面以后，我们要多关注这些积极的因素。故G项符合上下文语境。【39题详解】根据横线前句“If you keep focusing on how bad you have it, how are things supposed to get any better?如果你一直关注不好的方面，情况又怎么会变好呢？”作者仍然建议我们要多关注积极的因素。再根据横线后句“If this is true, why even bother thinking positively?如果这是真的，为什么我们要如此麻烦保持积极？”可知横线句应该表示：如果我们有积极的心态，情况会变得糟糕吗？故E项与上下文语境一致。【40题详解】横线前句“Realize that challenges are a part of life.”告诉我们挑战是生活的一部分，没有人可以避开它。A项“Everyone will have to go through them.”与上下文语境一致。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）阅读下列短文，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。I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant.
