【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文，记述了我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，真是喜出望外的事。
1．it [在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词；指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。]
2．earlier [在句中作状语，依然用副词；不变词性，因为是较早的做的事，所以用比较级。]
3．were told [由句意可知，是“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。]
4．but [根据上下句意，意为“不是为那个星期订的，而是为后一个星期所订的”，为not...but...结构。]
5．why [意为“我不知道为什么会发生这样的事”，故用why引导宾语从句。]
6．for [charge...for...是习惯搭配。]
7．surprisingly [因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外地”，故填surprisingly。]
8．the [特指“在顶楼”。]
9．where [先行词是地点the beach，且在定语从句中作状语，故填where (＝on which ＝and on the beach ＝and there)。]
10．sunburnt/sunburned [在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词，其形容词形式是burnt或burned。]

语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个80岁老人在生日来临之际对自己唯一的亲人的殷殷期盼，但她最终盼来的确是一种无言的伤痛和失望。
1.A.took away B．brought up
C．moved off D．set down
解析 根据语境可知，此句是说老人把信件从“the ground floor”拿到“the second floor”。bring up意为“拿上来”，符合语境；take away意为“拿走，带走”，move off“意为“离开，出发”，set down意为“记下，放下”，均不符合语境。
答案 B
2．A.occasion B．opportunity
C．ceremony D．anniversary
解析 根据语境可知，此处是指在特别的“场合”，与下文的other times作对比。occasion意为“场合”，符合语境；opportunity意为“机会”，ceremony意为“典礼，仪式”，anniversary意为“周年纪念日”，均不符合语境。
答案 A
3．A.mustn’t B．mightn’t
C．wouldn’t D．needn’t
解析 根据语境可知，此处是指老人坚信女儿一定不会忘记自己的生日。表示“一定不会”时，应用wouldn’t。
答案 C
4．A.occasionally B．always
C．almost D．seldom
解析 根据下文可知，Myra由于工作繁忙，平常很少给妈妈写信。seldom意为“很少，不常”，符合语境；occasionally意为“偶尔，间或”，always意为“总是，一直”，almost意为“差不多，几乎”，均不符合语境。
答案 D
5．A.Unhappily B．Unfortunately
C．Unforgettably D．Unkindly
解析 根据常识可知，最爱的女儿Enid的离去自然是一件“不幸”的事情。unfortunately意为“不幸地”，符合语境；unhappily意为“不开心地”，unforgettably意为“令人难忘地”，unkindly意为“刻薄地，不客气地”，均不符合语境。
答案 B
6．A.casual B．remote
C．special D．conventional
解析 根据常识可知，“人生70古来稀”，80岁生日自然尤为“特别”。special意为“特别的”，符合语境；casual意为“随便的，临时的”，remote意为“遥远的，疏远的”，conventional意为“传统的，常见的”，均不符合语境。
答案 C
7．A.Even if B．So that
C．In case D．Now that
解析 句意为：即使Myra不来，她也会送一份礼物。由句意可知，前后分句之间为一种让步关系，所以应用表示让步关系的连词even if，意为“即使”。
答案 A
8．A.proud B．capable
C．sure D．afraid
解析 根据下文的描述可知，老人坚信她的女儿即便不来也会送她礼物。be sure of为固定短语，意为“坚信，确信”，符合语境。
答案 C
9．A.sharpened B．weakened
C．widened D．brightened
解析 根据下文中的“She would enjoy her day！”可知，此处应指老人红光满面，面露喜色。brighten意为“使闪亮，使快乐，使露喜色”，符合语境。
答案 D
10．A.excited B．alarmed
C．inspired D．satisfied
解析 根据语境可知，老人此时兴奋得像个孩子。excited意为“兴奋的，激动的”，符合语境。
答案 A
11．A.thinking B．imagining
C．welcoming D．watching
解析 根据上下文语境可知，此句是指老人久久地站在门口，期盼着礼物的到来。因此选watching最符合语境，意为“守望，眺望”。
答案 D
12．A.steadily B．wildly
C．nervously D．randomly
解析 根据语境可知，此处应选wildly，该词是一种夸张的表达，旨在体现老人无法掩饰的、因迫切而慌乱激动的心情。
答案 B
13．A.discontent B．loneliness
C．disappointment D．annoyance
解析 根据上下文语境可知，此句是指老人的心情由先前“狂乱的兴奋”跌之“沉重的失望”，是一种修辞上的对比。disappointment意为“失望，沮丧”，符合语境。
答案 C
14．A.patient B．anxious
C．urgent D．mild
解析 根据语境可知，此句是指老人自我解嘲、自我安慰的一种无奈的表达，同时也暗含着一丝苦涩的期盼，所以老人告诫自己还要“耐心一点儿”。patient意为“耐心的”，符合语境。
答案 A
15．A.immediately B．cheerfully
C．angrily D．unwillingly
解析 根据语境可知，此句是指老人对自己期盼的“礼物”非常失望，因此不愿意打开它。unwillingly意为“不情愿地，勉强地”，符合语境；immediately意为“立刻，马上”，cheerfully意为“高高兴兴地”，angrily意为“愤怒地”，均不符合语境。
答案 D
16．A.Pinned B．Folded
C．Lined D．Roped
解析 根据下文的“a piece of paper”可知，此处应选fold，意为“折叠，合拢”，表示“在卡片里折了一张纸”。
答案 B
17．A.card B．bonus
C．cheque D．cash
解析 根据下文中的“The cheque moved quickly”可知，此处应选cheque，意为“支票”，符合语境。
答案 C
18．A.bent B．leaned
C．struggled D．stretched
解析 综合考虑老人此时的心情和神态可知，她拾起支票的姿势应该是“弯腰”。bend意为“弯腰，弯曲”，符合语境。lean意为“倾斜，倚靠”；struggle意为“努力，挣扎”，是一个中性词汇，不能体现身体的姿势；stretch意为“伸展，延伸”，均不符合语境。
答案 A 19．A.painful B．sad
C．expensive D．lovely
解析 根据语境可知，此处应选lovely，表现的是一种强烈的讽刺效果，增强了语言的表现力。而painful，sad两词会使语言的色调索然无味，暗淡无光。
答案 D 20．A.moving B．trembling
C．reacting D．freezing
解析 根据语境可知，当老人看到女儿给自己的礼物竟然是一张支票时，她感到既失望又痛心，所以应选trembling，意为“颤抖的，战栗的”，生动地表现了老人当时的心情和神态；moving意为“动人的”，reacting意为“反应的”，freezing意为“冰冻的，严寒的”，均不符合语境。
答案 B
三、阅读理解
A段
Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic.He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He
was
a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.
And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his
20s.When
Bob
was
in
his
glory
days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.
And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.
And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant
father
beating
the
kids
whenever
they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?
【语篇解读】 林书豪的成功，使人们开始反思什么是最合适的教育方式。家长是应该把自己的意愿强加给孩子还是发挥孩子的特长呢？
5. Bob’s glory days were those________.
A．when he was doing well in math
B．when he was in second grade
C．when he was made mayor of his building
D．when he showed his talents in sports
解析 推理判断题。根据文章一、二两段内容可知，鲍勃20多岁时在体育方面的表现很优秀，由此可推知，鲍勃最辉煌的时期应是他在体育运动中展现他的特长时。
答案 D
6．From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.
A．active and optimistic
B．clever and determined
C．brave and helpful
D．considerate and independent
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的第三、四、五句内容可知，鲍勃积极、乐观，故A项当选。
答案 A
7．Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?
A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.
B．Bob could also have been a sport star.
C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.
D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.
解析 正误判断题。根据文章第一段内容可知，鲍勃曾经在体育方面的表现非常优秀，多次获奖，若能坚持下去，他也许会成为一名体育明星，故B项正确。
答案 B
8．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that________.
A．parents should always study together with their children
B．parents should know how to educate their children properly
C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong
D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents
解析 推理判断题。在文章最后两段中，作者用反问句暗示出家长应该给孩子正确的教育，而不是强迫他们做这做那。
答案 B
B
I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos(纹身) and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
1. The writer’s good mood ended when _______.
A. he heard news between songs
B. he had to stop at a red traffic light
C. he heard a rich man broke the law
D. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need
2. What are four bikers doing at the traffic light?
A. Having a bicycle race in the street
B. Selling helmets to the passers-by.
C. Raising money to help kids in need
D. Preparing for Christmas holidays.
3. What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Destroyed.
B. Improved.
C. Decreased.
D. Exploded.
4. The writer to tell us that we should________.
A. have faith in young people
B. judge others by their actions
C. change our attitude to society
D. manage to help others in need

(2015·东北三省三校第二次联合模拟)
After the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge, another challenge now is hot in India. Indians give rice to their poor neighbors for a charity(慈善) which is called “Rice Bucket Challenge”. __1__ It is about giving a bucket of rice to someone who is in need and taking a picture named “Rice Bucket Challenge” to share online. The aim of the activity is to help the poor and hungry people in India, and the movement's Facebook page has so far clocked up more than 50,000 likes. __2__ The activity was started by Manju Latha Kalanidhi, a 38yearold journalist, who thought the Ice Bucket Challenge was a little strange. She said, “Hunger is a disease anybody would connect.” The challenge has gained a lot of support with students signing up in Indian Insitute of Management, and more and more people join in it. __3__
India is the world's secondbiggest rice consumer, with a storage of 21.2 million tons of the grains. __4__ It has suffered with mass hunger, and last year was ranked 63 of 78 countries on the International Food Policy Research Institute's global hunger index. How to participate in this activity? First, pick up a bucket of rice from your home and give it to the neighboring people who are in need.__5__ At last, invite online all your friends and ask them to take up the challenge. It is important to post back on Facebook because it will inspire all your friends to come forward. All the people get together and make a difference!
A．Besides, hand the rice bucket over to other people who are in need.
B．It is not an activity involving dumping a bucket of rice on someone's head.
C．The activity raises the public awareness and charitable donations to agriculture.
D．The AirAsia India airline says its staff including senior management will join.
E．Then, take a picture and post it on Facebook with “Rice Bucket Challenge”．
F．But it is far from enough for this country.
G．The initial inspiration came from the ice bucket challenge.
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。它讲述了“冰桶挑战”热爆全球，印度随后又出现以赠米取代淋冰水的“米桶挑战”(Rice Bucket Challenge)，希望唤起大众关注贫民挨饿的苦况。“米桶挑战”与“冰桶挑战”概念相似，但参加者不是要淋米，而是向有需要的人捐出一桶米，拍下照片，再向其他人发出挑战。
1．B 根据前后句说的是“米桶挑战”。因此这里应该补充说明“米桶挑战”。故答案选B“它不是把一桶米饭倒在某人头上的活动”。
2．G 根据后句说这次活动是由Manu Latha Kalanidhi 发起的，因此该句应介绍这次活动起因，“这次活动最初的启发是冰桶挑战”，故选G。
3．D 这个句子前面说“这次活动获得了许多人的支持．.....”，并且“more and more people join in it”，可知该句应填具体哪些人想参加，因此答案选D印度航空公司亚洲航空说它的职员包括高层管理人员也要参加。
4．F 前句说“印度是世界上第二个最大的大米消费者．.....”，又根据后句说“它已经遭受了大规模的饥饿。”可知该句应该是表示转折意义的句子，故选F“但是对于这个国家来说还远远不够。”
5．E 根据前句用表示顺序的词“First，...”，后句用了“At last...”描述，因此这句应该选E，然后照张相片，发到脸谱网上，并且注明“米桶挑战”字样。
