　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2016·海口高三第一次模拟)Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled,_he'd say in his loudest father­voice，“That's what your legs are for！”

　　The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.

　　It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

　　A row of hedges (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.

　　On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So, my son, it's you！” he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

　　I replied，“Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home.”

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了父亲从小对作者严格要求，从来不曾到车站接过他。但是，在一个春天的晚上，作者偶然发现父亲在默默地关心着他。

　　1．What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragra­ph 1 probably mean?

　　A．Accepted happily. B．Explained clearly.

　　C．Agreed willingly.

　　D．Spoke unhappily.

　　解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Though the bus stopped ...even in severe weather.”以及本段最后一句父亲的话“That's what your legs are for！”可知，作者是在抱怨，因此选择D。

　　2．The author's father watched behind the hedges because ________.

　　A．he was concerned about his son's safety

　　B．he wanted to help his son build up courage

　　C．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway

　　D．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone

　　解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“until he knew I had arrived safely”以及“He did care, after all.”可推知，父亲是很在意作者的安全的。

　　3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A．My Father's Secret

　　B．My College Life

　　C．My Terrible Journey Home

　　D．Riding the Bus Alone

　　解析：选A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，父亲以独特的不表露出来的爱陪伴着作者的成长，最后作者发现了父亲的这个秘密，并体会到了父亲的关爱。因此A项“父亲的秘密”最切合文章的主题。

　　B

　　(2016·呼和浩特市第一次调研)It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.

　　In these not­too­long­ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?

　　The fast life is all around us — fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the “fast life” gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.

　　The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of “time poverty” through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.

　　The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people — ourselves, our family, our community, our friends — to food, to places (where we live), and to life. By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected — they have lived a new connected lifestyle.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者首先描述了昔日大家生活在同一屋檐下，彼此联系、舒服惬意的生活，然后与如今的快节奏生活进行对比，阐述了快节奏对人们的危害，并介绍了Slow Movement 的目的和内容。

　　4．If we are connected to our food, we________.

　　A．eat each meal slowly

　　B．buy our food by ourselves

　　C．enjoy our mealtimes with other family members

　　D．prepare and cook our food by ourselves

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第五句和第六句可知，我们与食物的联系来自于我们自己准备和制作食物。故选D。

　　5．According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today's life?

　　A．Healthy, busy, disconnected.

　　B．Rich, disconnected, comfortable.

　　C．Fast, busy, stressful.

　　D．Convenient, relaxing, fast.

　　解析：选C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段对 fast life 的介绍中提到的高频词汇

　　“fast”“fast paced life”“stress”及“health problems”等可知，现代生活的特点是快速、忙碌、压力大。故选C。

　　6．According to the author, many people have________.

　　A．got used to fast life

　　B．had unwise opinions about fast life

　　C．had diseases caused by fast food

　　D．benefited from fast life

　　解析：选B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句可知，在现代社会中，我们已经被愚弄或被“洗脑”，认为我们必须快节奏地生活，接受快节奏生活所带给我们的一切。由此可知，我们对现代生活的想法是不明智的。故选B。

　　7．What's the purpose of the text?

　　A．To compare modern life with traditional life.

　　B．To explain the meaning of making a connection.

　　C．To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.

　　D．To support a world­wide movement.

　　解析：选D　写作意图题。根据作者的态度与文章结构可知，作者归根结底是为了推出并支持Slow Movement 这一世界性的活动。而A、B、C三项或是表述片面，或只是文章表面意思。故选D。

　　C

　　(2016·辽宁省实验中学分校阶段性测试)When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?

　　Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.

　　Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.

　　Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self­centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can't find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.

　　With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low­level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom and right to work and can deprive (剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们对于国家是否有必要限制退休年龄的看法。

　　8．What is the purpose of this passage?

　　A．To explain the compulsory age limit.

　　B．To discuss the retirement age.

　　C．To examine people's working life.

　　D．To introduce a particular stage.

　　解析：选B　主旨大意题。根据第一段及第二段的最后一句可知本文主要讨论的是退休的年龄问题。

　　9．Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?

　　A．Their contributions should be valued.

　　B．Their experience should be made use of.

　　C．They can help the youngsters.

　　D．They are loyal employees.

　　解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段的第五句可知A项正确；根据第三段的第二句可知B项正确；根据第三段的第三句可知D项正确，故应选C。

　　10．It can be inferred in the fourth paragraph that ________.

　　A．the young people have more creative spirits

　　B．modern advances in medicine make old people never die

　　C．pensions and freedom are not given to the old now

　　D．old people believe that a younger person could do better

　　解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知B项不正确； 根据第四段的倒数第三句可知C项不正确；根据第四段的第三句可知D项不正确；根据第四段的第五句可知A项正确。

　　11．The passage is arranged as follows：________.

　　A．①②③④⑤

　　B．①④③⑤②

　　C．①②③④⑤

　　D．①②③④⑤

　　解析：选A　篇章结构题。通读全文可知本文为“总分总”结构。第一、二段主要是提出话题，第三、四段从正、反两方面介绍了人们对退休年龄的看法，最后一段对全文进行总结，故A项正确。

　　D

　　(2016·陕西省质量检测二)

　　Dear Mr. Wolfson，

　　The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated (敬业的) community service. The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (协调员)．

　　I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.

　　Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund­Raising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the Meals­on­Wheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (谦虚的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.

　　I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!

　　I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.

　　Sincerely，

　　Linda Sullivan

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。作者写信向Wolfson先生推荐一位多年来默默无闻为社区工作做出杰出贡献的人。

　　12．Linda is Elizabeth's ________.

　　13．From the letter we know that Linda ________ Elizabeth much.

　　A．depends on

　　D．respects

　　解析：选D　细节推断题。作者在这封信里称赞了Elizabeth为社区工作不求名利、默默奉献并且很谦虚，希望Wolfson先生认可并表彰Elizabeth；由此可推知，她很尊敬Elizabeth。故选D。

　　14．According to the letter, Elizabeth ________.

　　A．wants to be asked to take part in the annual event

　　B．contributes much to the community

　　C．has been invited to the annual dinner

　　D．has been given a lot of honors

　　解析：选B　细节理解题。通过作者的介绍可知，Elizabeth在社区兢兢业业工作了20多年，为社区工作做出了贡献，但她却从未受到过表彰，也未被邀请参加社区年会。故选B。

　　15．What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter?

　　A．He knows Linda quite well.

　　B．He is a careless person.

　　C．He tries something to reward those who have done much community service.

　　D．He tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.

　　解析：选C　细节推断题。根据第四段第二句中的“Then last week ... given out to people”可知，Wolfson先生将举办年会奖励那些为社区工作做出贡献的人。故选C。

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　(2016·四川攀枝花市第三次统考)My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn't far __1__ Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

　　The first time I ever ate Chinese food, I loved it. I __2__ (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why __3__ has this special feature.

　　Many years ago, China had __4__ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor __5__ (manage) of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their __6__ (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren't any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

　　In order to economize in __7__ (cook), they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked __8__ (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food __9__ (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor — and it's this flavor __10__ attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

　　1．from　句意：我们的办公室离唐人街不远……be far from意为“离……远”，符合句意。故填from。

　　2．noticed　根据上下文的时态可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填noticed。

　　3．it　句意：当我对这种食物了解得更多时，我开始明白为什么这种食物会如此特别。空格处与前一分句中的“the food”为同一事物，为了避免重复，故用代词“it”指代“the food”。故填it。

　　4．an　句意：多年以前，中国发生了一次能源危机……空格处修饰“energy crisis”，表示泛指，crisis在该句中为可数名词单数，且“energy”的读音以元音音素开头，因此填不定冠词an。

　　5．management　根据空格前的形容词poor及空格后的介词of可知，空格处应为名词。故填management。

　　6．valuable　空格后是名词wood，因此应用所给词的形容词形式修饰wood。故填valuable。

　　7．cooking　介词in后用名词、代词或动名词。cook作名词时意为“厨师”，不合句意，因此要用其动名词形式cooking，意为“烹饪”。

　　8．faster　“the food cooked ________”与and后的“they saved more fuel”是并列关系，故此处也应用副词fast的比较级faster。

　　9．prepared　分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词是kept，故prepare是非谓语动词。prepare与主语the food之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用其过去分词形式。故填prepared。

　　10．that　去掉it's和空格后，句子剩余部分结构和意义都完整。由此可知，本句是一个强调句。故填that。

　　Dear Mr. Allen，

　　I'm Li Hua, your student assistant. How about your vacation in America? I'm writing to inform you of the changes in our school.

　　With the increasing number of students, we have rebuilt the old teaching building and laboratory building, which have become cleaner and wider than before. Classrooms are arranged on the second floor and the third floor, and the teacher's office has been moved to the end of the first floor. What used to be the garage has been changed into our new school canteen, which is twice as big as the old one. In addition, the big news for you is that coffee and steak are served during the lunch time. I'm sure you will enjoy them.

　　I'm looking forward to your early return, Mr. Allen.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
