(2016·长春市第十一中学高三期中考试)“Inner beauty is the real beauty”， you might have heard this phrase a thousand times. However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty.
1．Characteristics are important
Sure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a goodlooking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.
2．Inner beauty is always admired
When anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.
Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty.
3．Inner beauty is valuable
A person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.
4．Inner beauty is kindness
Outer beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, and generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are the most beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.

解析：选C 推理判断题。本文首先提出主题，然后分四个方面阐释。接下去要讨论的应是如何做才能体现内在美，故选C。
3．The author quoted the sentence “Inner beauty is the real beauty” to ________.
A．show respect for the writer of the phrase
B．improve his passage
C．strengthen the confidence of his opinion
D．make some comments about inner beauty
解析：选C 推理判断题。作者引用“内在美是真正的美”这句话，目的是为自己的观点寻找更有力的论据，故选C。

(2016·洛阳高三二模)“BANG！”the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.
We were both in great anger.“Never set foot in this house again！” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now ... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My_heart_was_frozen_o n_ this_hot_summer_night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the highrise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself, “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except father's.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong？” I whispered, maybe ... With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love — it's second to none.

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Dad was always like this.”以及倒数第二段中的“telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature”可知，父亲经常对儿子大喊大叫且已习以为常了。故选D。

(2016·陕西省质量检测二)Whether it is elementary school, middle school, or high school in the United States, there will always be an awards ceremony at the end of the year. Though it varies from school to school, there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation.
The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award. In elementary and middle school, this award is used to recognize academic excellence. This award is also separated into two groups: A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll. It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states)
on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students with grades above 85 (80 in some states) would receive an A/B Honor Roll. It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all A's or A's and B's.
In high school, this is changed a bit, but still can be classified as the same type of award. The difference is that instead of using the scale (等级) of 100, they use a grade point average (GPA) based on a 4 point scale. They recognize students with a high GPA as “Honor Students”. If the student keeps it up for all four years of high school, then they graduate with honors.
Another notable award is the President's Award for Educational Excellence. This is given by the President's Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States. This award is offered to elementary school, middle school and high school students. To be eligible (有资格的) for this award, middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale. High school students must have a GPA of at least 3.5. Students must also have a high score on a statewide or national standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher. Usually this award is given at the end of the year. It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.
However, many people confuse the President's Award for Educational Excellence with another award, the US Presidential Scholars Program. Even though both have the word “President” in the title, they are completely different awards. Where the President's Award for Educational Excellence is relatively easy to achieve, the award from the Presidential Scholars Program is not. To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar, a student must be a high school senior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test scores.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国学校设置的一些奖项以及获得这些奖项需要满足的条件。
8．If, in most of the schools in the US, a student in Grade 5 wants to get A Honor Roll, he/she must get at least all averages of a ________.
A．93
B．85
C．90
D．80
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句中的“and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states) ... receive an A Honor Roll”可知，在美国大多数学校，想要获得A Honor Roll，平均分必须在93分或以上。故答案选A。
9．From the passage we know that the students who ________ can graduate with honors.
A．keep up the grades of 100 in high school for more than one year
B．get averages of 100 in high school for all four years of high school
C．get a high GPA in high school for more than one year
D．are recognized as “Honor Students” for all four years of high school
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，如果学生能连续四年获得“优秀学生”的称号，就能带着荣誉毕业。故选D。
10．If high school students are to win the President's Award for Educational Excellence, which of the following statements should be included?
A．An average grade of 90 or above on a 100 point scale.
B．A recommendation from a teacher.
C．A GPA of at least 3.5 in a national standardized test.
D．A high school senior with outstanding standardized test scores.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段第五、六句“High school students must have a GPA of at least 3.5. Students must ... have a recommendation from a teacher.”可知，B项为条件之一。
11．The best title for this passage may be “________”．
A．Awards in elementary and middle schools
B．Awards in schools of the United States
C．How high schools reward their students
D．It's easy to win awards in schools
解析：选B 标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，本文讲述的是美国学校设置的一些奖项以及获得这些奖项需要满足的条件。B项能概括文章内容，适合做标题。故选B。

(2016·山东省实验中学一模)Around the world, girls do better than boys at school. These are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of 1.5 million 15yearolds in 74 regions across the globe. The level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the results. Other factors, such as the income level of the region also had little impact on the findings. In only three regions — Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state Himachal Pradesh — was the trend reversed with boys doing better.
So what are the causes of girls' stronger performance? In the UK, girls outperform boys in exams that are taken at the age of 15 or 16, called GCSEs. According to education expert Ian Toone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought up.“Boys are encouraged to be more active from an early age, while the restless movements of baby girls are pacified ... Therefore, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time, which is useful for academic pursuits like studying for GCSEs.”
He goes on to say that boys often cluster together in larger groups than girls. Because of this they are more likely to be influenced by peer pressure and develop a gang mentality. He says that GCSEs require a lot of solo work and are not viewed as “cool” in a laddish culture.
This is backed up by research in the UK that says girls are outperforming boys at the age of five. So what is the answer? Should girls and boys be educated separately? Or do exams and school curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys' skills? These are the questions facing educators in many countries.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。研究表明，在学校里，女孩的考试成绩要比男孩好，本文针对这个现象进行了分析。
12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Girls outperform boys in exams in most cases.
B．Boys do better in school in poorer areas.
C．Girls do better if they are socially equal to boys.
D．Boys are not working hard enough in exams.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句“Around the world ... across the globe.”可知，在大多数情况下，在学校里女孩的考试成绩比男孩好。故选A。
13．According to Ian Toone, what might account for the phenomenon?
A．Different characters and personalities.
B．Different attitudes to learning.
C．Different ways of raising children.
D．Different methods in exams.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“According to ... are brought up.”可知，Ian Toone认为女孩考试成绩比男孩好是因为男孩和女孩被培养的方式不同。故选C。
14．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To provide answer to a difficult question.
B．To raise awareness in gender differences.
C．To advocate separating boys and girls.
D．To change school curricula to benefit boys.
解析：选B 写作意图题。通读文章可知，由于性别不同，男孩和女孩被培养的方式不同，所受环境的影响也不同，所以女孩的考试成绩要比男孩好。作者在最后一段提出问题——是否应该将男孩和女孩分开来教育或者改革现在的考试及课程以便全面地提高教育质量。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了让人们提高对性别差异的认识。故选B。
15．What might the author discuss in the following paragraphs?
A．Education reforms in some countries.
B．Examples of boys' achievement.
C．New systems of examinations.
D．Advertisement of some schools.
解析：选A 预测推断题。根据文章最后一句“These are the questions facing educators in many countries.”可以推出，接下来作者应谈到为了解决这些教育问题，一些国家所进行的教育改革。故选A。

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。英国女子称因太漂亮而被迫辞职，美貌看来也会给人带来烦恼。

2．powerful so 是副词，一般修饰形容词或副词，又由前面的“is”可知，此处是作表语，所以应填 power 的形容词形式。
3．attracted 根据上文的“said”以及本段的时态可知应使用一般过去时。

(2016·济南市高三调研)
Dear Mandy，
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work really hard, often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!
The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons！” I'm feeling quite puzzling about what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely，
Lisa

Dear Alice，
I'm glad to receive your email and thank you for your trusting me.
As we know, stage fright is a common phenomenon. Many people, even the most confident performers can suffer from stage fright. So don't worry — you can overcome it by relaxing your body and mind. Here I give you a few tips.
Firstly, arrive early. Showing up early can calm yourself down and make you feel more at ease. Secondly, talk to members of the audience. It will make you see that the audience are ordinary and friendly people and you'll get more comfortable. Last but not least, slow down. Most public speakers may be speaking fast because they're nervous and want to finish the speech or presentation sooner, but this will actually make it harder.
I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. I believe you can make it.
Yours，
