(2016·江苏启东模考)
If there's a child in your house who likes pixies (精灵) ，nature，or magic, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is sure to be a hit. This beautifully animated film (动画片)is a first class production in every way, and features the familiar voices of Kristin Chenoweth，Anjelica Huston，Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu，and Raven Symone. The movie offers us an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's attention, and even throws in a nice little moral about friendship. What can I say? I'm pleasantly surprised.
The upandcoming Mae Whitman voices Tinker Bell herself, a far more dynamic character than we met in Peter Pan. Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper, it doesn't manifest itself immediately, and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities. As it turns out，Tinker Bell is extremely skilled at tinkering (修补), so she is a natural choice to build a special scepter (拐杖) , for Pixie Hollow's Autumn Celebration. The scepter will hold the moonstone through which the light of the Blue Moon will pass, supplying Pixie Hollow with enough pixie dust for the year ahead.
For days, Tinker works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terrence does his best to assist. When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone, Tinker Bell “explodes” and sends him away. One of Tinker's more literal friends finds this extremely concerning, as she doesn't quite understand that the outburst was emotional rather than physical—very funny indeed.
After hearing the legend of the lost treasure，Tinker Bell strikes out on her own to find a new Moon Stone. She faces many difficulties and meets new friends along the way，but when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend. Though the film is engaging and offers a positive message to young viewers, it's the animation that makes Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure stand out. Pixie Hollow is a charming, visually stunning world basked in lush colors. It's so lovely, so detailed, so threedimensional that you almost want to step inside.
本文为说明文，主要介绍了一部叫《小叮当与失去的宝藏》的影片。这部电影适合那些喜欢看精灵、自然和魔法影片的小孩。
36．From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．many famous actors acted important roles in the film
B．the plot of the film is attractive and easy to understand
C．the writer feels surprised at the message of friendship in the film
D．the film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure may disappoint you if you love magic tales
答案：B推理判断题。根据首段第三句“The movie offers us an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's attention....”可推知这部电影容易理解而且非常吸引人，故选B项。
37．The word “manifest” in the second paragraph means “________”．
A．occur
B．hide
C．display
D．contradict
答案：C词义推测题。根据画线词所在句“Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper, it doesn't manifest itself immediately, and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities.”可知，Tinker虽然有激烈的脾气，但并没有立即“显示”出来，因为这位小精灵有许多好的品质，所以这一点可以忽略不计。display意为“显示”，故选C项。
38．What's the correct order of the following details?
a．Tinker Bell realizes the value of a truly loyal friend.
b．Terrence breaks the Moon Stone by accident.
c．Tinker Bell is determined to build a special scepter.
d．Terrence conies to the rescue when Tinkers was in trouble.
A．cbda
B．bcda
C．bcad
D．cdab
答案：A细节理解题。由第三段第一、二句“For days, Tinker works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terence does his best to assist. When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone....”可知c项在b项之前；由最后一段第二句“... when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend.”可知d项在a项之前。综上可知A项正确。
39．In the writer's opinion, the characteristics of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure are the following EXCEPT ________.
A．the attractive details
B．the lively animation characters
C．the threedimensional animation
D．the moving love story between Tinker Bell and Terrence

A cancerstricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online“Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.
Alice Pyne, 15, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells.
“I've been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this time，” she wrote.
For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film The Bucket List, in which two terminally ill men, played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.
On her list, at the site www. alicepyne. blogspot. com, she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者) , swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.
Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talkedabout subjects on Twitter.
“Oh, dear, I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends！” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me.”
Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English
town
of
Ulverston,
revealed (透露) the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog. A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony Nolan blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.
这是一篇记叙文。15岁的女孩Alice Pyne身患癌症，她在自己的博客里公布了“遗愿清单”之后收到了来自全世界的鼓励和帮助信息。
41．What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” ?
A．People around the world sent messages to support
her.
B．People sent gifts to her from all over the world.
C．A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.
D．The media called on people to help her.
答案：A细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“... by messages of support from around the world after writing an online ‘Bucket List’．..”可知这个女孩在网上写了“遗愿清单”后收到了来自全世界的鼓励信息，故A项正确。
42．Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to ________.
A．catch people's attention
B．say goodbye to a few friends
C．give comfort to two terminally ill men
D．express her last few wishes
答案：D推理判断题。从第一段中的“... ‘Bucket List’ of things she wanted to do before dying”以及倒数第二段的第一句可知她写“遗愿清单”是为了表达她临死前想做的一些事情，即D项正确。
43．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne ________.
A．is unaware of her own conditions
B．is very sad to know that she will die
C．is calm to know that death is approaching
D．is still quite confident in fighting against cancer
答案：C推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的“... and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this time”可知她很清楚自己的病情，知道自己离死神很近了，从下文的描述也可看出，Pyne面对死亡，很平静，很乐观，故C项正确。
44．Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne's “Bucket List”？
A．To ask people to donate bone marrow.
B．To get a cool computer.
C．To swim with sharks.
D．To meet a boy.
答案：D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“... to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer”可知A、B、C都是她“遗愿清单”中的内容。注意D项错误，不是“见一个男孩”，而是见一个男孩乐队“Take That”。
45．Take That will arrange to ________.
A．meet Pyne in person
B．help Pyne in any possible way
C．donate money to Pyne
D．invite Pyne to join the band
答案：A细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog”可知A项正确。

(2016·成都二诊)
While reading a story on 20somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20something myself, I certainly share their disappointment—my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a twobedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury (奢华), not a fertility requirement.
A 26yearold man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph. D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments. “So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means，” says Kobliner.
This recession (经济衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our onebedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
经济的衰退使得那些满怀期望的20多岁的年轻人常常抱怨生活，甚至感到绝望。他们就像一群被宠坏的孩子，解决之道是让他们摆脱不切实际的期望，回到现实中来。
46．What makes the author think the 20somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A．They expect everything to be easy for them.
B．They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans.
C．They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.
D．They are burdened by student loans.
答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的内容可知，让作者产生这种想法的缘由是这些20多岁的人抱怨经济破坏了他们的人生规划。故选B。
47．The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．baby production
B．pleasure
C．baby comfort
D．comfort
答案：A词义猜测题。画线词前面的内容提到拥有房子是一种奢华，再结合本段第一句后半部分的内容可知，房子不是“生育孩子”的必备需求。故选A。
48．Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20somethings?
A．They cant't have children for at least a decade for they can't afford to buy a house.
B．They have only a onebedroom apartment to live in.
C．They can't buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D．They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph. D. in literature.
答案：B细节理解题。作者在最后一段中提到我们应该感激拥有一个卧室的公寓，而这显然不是这些20多岁的人抱怨的内容。另外，此题也可用排除法做出。第一、二、四段的内容表明A、C、D三项都是这些20多岁的人抱怨的内容。故选B。
49．What's Kobliner's attitude towards the 20somethings with high expectations?
A．Unbearable.
B．Opposing.
C．Doubtful.
D．Understanding.
答案：D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing”以及本段后面引号中的内容可推知，Kobliner非常理解这些怀有高期望的20多岁的年轻人。故选D。
50．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Young people afford to continue their education
B．Young people can't afford to buy a house
C．Young people's high expectations lead to despair
D．The 20somethings' high expectations
答案：C主旨大意题。作者在第一段由一则故事引出话题，接着阐述了自己的观点——20多岁的年轻人由于对人生怀有过高的期望使得他们经常抱怨生活，甚至会因为那些想往而得不到的东西感到绝望。故C项最适合作本文的标题。
D
At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22yearold Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer.
The
surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy
landscape of wartorn France.
After four horrible years
as an army private fighting in Europe,
Stanley had
returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with
some savings
and
with
no
prospects
for
a job
in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.
When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained,
“You're a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money's light. You'll get room and board. You'll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking
time
again.
Ten
dollars
a
week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the
slightest
mistake.
The
oldest
son,
13yearold Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kindhearted Stanley never responded.
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny
bedroom.
However,
each
evening before retiring,
he lovingly
cared
for the farmer's
horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gale.
He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitchhiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
Early one
November morning Alphonse
Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand.
The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again.
That is,
until one evening, almost 20 years later,
when
Armand,
opened
an
American
sports magazine
and
came
across
a
shocking
headline, “Millionaire jockey,
Stanley Vine,
exBritish soldier and 5time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
战后，Stanley Vine艰难地找到了一份农场工作。半年后，他悄然离开了农场。最后，他成为了世人瞩目的百万富翁。
51．Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ________.
A．he wanted to escape from wartorn France
B．he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
C．he couldn't find a job in England
D．he loved working as a farmhand
答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段后半部分中的“... with no prospects for a job in England...”可知他之所以决定去加拿大是因为他无法在英国找到工作。
52．Which of the following is TRUE according to the
passage?
A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18
years old.
B．On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14
times a week.
C．The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley.
D．Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper.
答案：D正误判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句后半部分的内容可推知他是在报纸上看到那份工作的。
53．What can we inter from the passage?
A．When he first met his employer, Stanley tried to
impress him but failed.
B．Stanley had never worked on a Grin, so he made
a lot of mistakes.
C．Stanley's weekly salary was not enough for him to
live on.
D．Stanley left the farm by train, without telling
anyone why he did so.
答案：A推理判断题。结合第二段前两句的内容可推知尽管他尽力在雇主面前展示自己，但是对方依然对他不满。
54．What did Stanley like doing after work each clay?
A．Hitchhiking to different towns.
B．Caring for the farmer's horses.
C．Wandering around the farm alone.
D．Preparing meals on the farm.
答案：B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第四句的内容可知他喜欢每天下班后照看农场主的马。
55．Why was Armand so astonished when he read about
Stanley in the magazine?
A．He didn't know Stanley had been a British soldier.
B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a
wealthy man.
C．He didn't know his father paid Stanley so little
money.
D．He didn't expect Stanley to become such a
success.
答案：D推理判断题。文章最后一段的后半部分提到Stanley此时已是百万富翁赛马骑师，联想到他20年前的窘况，自然可推出Armand因没有预料到Stanley会变得如此成功而感到震惊。

Here are some tips on business travel safety, which can be used wherever your next trip may take you, from John Rose, president of Business Travel Services.
No.1: Keep your travel plan private. “Whether you are traveling at home or abroad, don't discuss your itinerary，” Rose said.
“Otherwise, you may become an easier target for bad people while you are traveling.”
No.2: Be alert (警惕的). Keeping your eyes and ears open while you are away on business allows you to more easily notice anything strange or unusual. “If you manage to have good control of the environment, you won't be targeted by bad guys，” Rose said.
No.3: Have an emergency contact (熟人).
“Keeping the phone number of an emergency contact in your mobile phone or wallet is always a smart idea, especially when you are traveling alone，” Rose said. “Always have someone who knows your plans as an emergency contact, such as a colleague or a family member.” He added.
No.4: Book your ground transportation in advance. “This is the key to successful business travel when you are traveling internationally，” he said.
“Don't make yourself wait for transportation, “he said.”Arrange it in advance, even if it's a taxi. Pay for transportation in advance as well.”
No.5: Copy all the important documents. This is also an important tip for international trips. Rose said all important documents should be copied. The copies must be kept separate from the original documents, so if one gets stolen you still have the other.
