四、阅读理解
Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring.It could also be someone like J.K.Rowling or Martin Luther King,Jr.who has proven to be a strong and intelligent person.
However,in today?s world,stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above,despite their intentions or actions.Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons.First,to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture,and second,because stars? actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention.Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren?t right for teenagers.In addition,almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.
However,teens must take responsibility for their actions.We can?t always blame stars for influencing us.Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something.Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.
Now,who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not,stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight.With reporters following and recording every move they make,it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated.These people influence teens whether or not they want to.Why should someone who doesn?t want to be setting an example set one? So,should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It?s our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong,and it?s time for us to take responsibility for our actions.In doing so,we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example,and follow in their steps to be like them.

一、单句填空
1.to 句意:尽管他们年龄相同,但性格却截然相反。考查介词。
2.while 句意:在学校,有的学生很活跃而有的很腼腆,但他们能成为好朋友。考查连词。while在此作并列连词,意为“而,却”,表示对比。
3.walked 句意:戴维走进了漆黑的房间,当所有人都喊“生日快乐”时,他非常惊讶。考查完全倒装。句子的前半部分是题干的主句部分,以介词短语into the dark apartment开头,要用完全倒装,故填walked。
4.closely 句意:我们仔细地查看地图,为了想出一个可行的方法来接近那个岛。考查副词。closely表示“仔细地;严密地”。
5.connected 句意:警察正在审讯两个和抢劫案有关的人。考查过去分词作后置定语。(be)connected with和……有关系。
6.would have caused 句意:——你最后成功了吗?——成功了。要不是你的帮助,那本来会导致严重损失的。根据语境可知空格处表达与过去情况相反的假设,应该用would have done结构。
7.in 句意:该公司今年推出了好几款型号的汽车,其中有一款特别受年轻人的喜欢。考查介词短语。in particular特别,尤其。
8.measuring 句意:那儿(的气候)非常潮湿,所以那儿的树长得非常高,有的树超过90米高。考查独立主格结构。分析句子结构可知逗号后是独立主格作状语。measure在表示某物/某人量起来有……高(长、宽等)时为连系动词,应该用v.-ing形式。
9.out 句意:你的大脑用从鼻子和舌头获得的信息来弄明白某种东西尝起来怎么样。考查动词短语。figure out弄明白,计算出。
10.while/but 句意:这位穿着讲究的男士假装是一位百万富翁,而实际上在他的名下连一分钱也没有。根据语境可知,空格前后之间为对比或转折关系,应该用while/but。

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了多年前受到一位女生帮助的Roy Freetz,一个贫穷、饥饿的学生,在多年后遇到了自己的恩人,反过来帮助她并最终娶了她的故事。从这个故事中我们知道好人有好报。
1.hungry 考查形容词。系动词后用形容词作表语。
2.classmates 考查名词的复数。all of his +可数名词的复数形式。
3.surprised 考查形容词。因为主语为the boy,所以用surprised作表语。
4.but 考查连词。not only...but(also)...意为“不但……而且……”。
5.as 考查介词。短语work as 后接表示职业的名词作宾语。
6.was hit 考查动词的语态和时态。因为when引导的从句为过去进行时态,且hit与she之间为被动关系,故该句用一般过去时的被动语态。
7.totally 考查副词。副词修饰injured。
8.sleeping 考查非谓语动词。在介词after后用动名词作宾语。
9.It 考查代词。根据语境可知,此处用it代替上文的“the hospital bill”。

[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,题材为社会生活类。我丈夫竟然和一只松鸡成了好朋友,并把它培养成了我家的宠物。要知道松鸡是很难见到的,它们听到人类接近的声音就会飞走。那我丈夫是如何和这只松鸡成为朋友并最终把它培养成我家的宠物的呢?
1.D 根据情景:它们很难被发现,它们听到人类接近的声音就会飞走。由此可知松鸡和人类接触是一件很不寻常的事,故答案为D项。
2.B 句意:事实上,它们很难被发现,因为当它们听到人类接近的声音时通常就会飞走。此处应该是because引导的原因状语从句。
3.A 根据下文第六段第一句话的As spring went and summer came可知,这只松鸡是在春天的时候走进我们的生活的。
4.C 句意:汤姆在地里干活的时候注意到她在田边来回走动。表达“注意”到某事要用动词notice。

12.A 这只松鸡反反复复做这样的动作好像是在游戏,所以填game。
13.B 句意:随着春天的离去,夏季的来临,Mildred开始出来的次数越来越多了。
14.A 句意:终于Mildred觉得自己足够舒适了,于是她跳到了汤姆的腿上……。经过这么长时间的相处和观察,Mildred终于迈出了重要的一步,所以答案为A项。
15.C 根据情景此处表达Mildred在汤姆腿上逗留的时间长到足以让我给他俩拍了一张照片(picture)。
16.A 句意:很快这只友好的松鸡就不仅仅是和我们一家在一起感到很舒服了,她还对走过的或者开车经过的任何人都这样。根据上文,松鸡和他们相处得好,排除B、C项,又因为对经过的人不可能熟悉,排除D。
17.B 根据情景可知,打猎的季节到来了,为了不让猎人们朝这只松鸡射击,我们放置了一个标牌。

5.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话的总结:we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example(我们要倾向于学习那些愿意给我们树立榜样的鼓舞人心的人),可以推断出并不是所有的明星都愿意为人们树立榜样,故答案为B项。
