　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2015·重庆，A)

　　At thirteen，I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not.

　　In my first literature class，Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs.Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”

　　She glanced down at me through her glasses，“You are no different from your classmates，young man.”

　　I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.

　　In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person，Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots (点)，which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

　　Wasn't I the “blind” in my class，being made to learn like the “sighted”students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed，I was no different from others；I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up?

　　I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”

　　语篇解读：本文讲述了作者上学时的个人经历。作者有注意力不集中的问题，但在老师的鼓励下，受到盲人故事的激励，作者最终克服了自己的问题。由此告诉我们一个人可以通过努力克服自己的缺陷。

　　1．The author didn't finish the reading in class because ______.

　　A．he was new to the class

　　B．he was tired of literature

　　C．he had an attention disorder

　　D．he wanted to take the task home

　　答案：C　细节理解题。此题为直接信息题，带着题干回到原文搜寻信息，定位第一段“At thirteen，I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not.”可知作者不能完成老师布置的任务是因为患有一种注意力障碍症。C项中had an attention disorder与文中信息一致，故选C项。

　　2．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

　　A．He had good sight.

　　B．He made a great invention.

　　C．He gave up reading.

　　D．He learned a lot from school.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后两句“But Louis didn't give up.Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.”可知他发明了一个阅读系统，给盲人打开了一个全新的知识的世界。故选B项。

　　3．What was Mrs.Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?

　　A．Angry. B．Impatient.

　　C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。此题考查对观点态度的推理。史密斯老师给作者打了“A”，并且写了批语。最后一句话“See what you can do when you keep trying？”形式上为问句，实则是对作者鼓励的话语，她是在鼓励作者只要不懈努力就一定能战胜困难取得成功。因此选择D项。

　　4．What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A．The disabled should be treated with respect.

　　B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.

　　C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

　　D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

　　答案：C　主旨大意题。本文主要讲述作者是一个有注意力障碍症的学生，在老师的激励下，克服困难的故事。说明只要不懈努力就一定能战胜困难取得成功。文章强调的是不懈努力的重要性而不是对残疾人的尊重、老师对学生的作用或困难中的帮助，故选C项。

　　B

　　(2015·黑龙江哈三中一模)

　　I prefer Lynne Truss's phraseology: I am a grammar “sticker”. And, like Truss—author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves—I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.

　　Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”， while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job—even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.

　　Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can't distinguish between “to” and “too”， their applications go into the bin.

　　Of course, we write for a living. iFixit. com is the world's largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step­by­step user manuals. So, it makes sense that we've made a strong strike against grammar errors.

　　But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn't make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can't tell the difference between “their” “there” and “they're”．

　　Good grammar makes good business sense—and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn't in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.

　　Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English. I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为掌握语法不仅仅意味着一个人中学阶段的学习能力，在工作中也同样重要。一个认为写作不重要的员工很可能也会认为很多其他事情不重要。这种人不是他们公司所需要的。

　　5．The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that ________.

　　A．grammar mistakes can't be tolerated

　　B．books on grammar make people stupid

　　C．people need to learn basic grammar

　　D．grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，作者在不容忍语法错误方面和林恩·特拉斯观点相同。故选A项。

　　6．What's the author's “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?

　　A．They should be left out for a job.

　　B．They have to correct their mistakes.

　　C．They aren't qualified for their jobs.

　　D．They must be severely punished.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“...while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job—even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.”可知，作者认为对那些混淆基础语法的求职者应该不予考虑。故选A项。

　　7．Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?

　　A．Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.

　　B．They are companies where one learns grammar.

　　C．Grammar is quite important for the two companies.

　　D．They depend on grammar correction for a living.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，iFixit和Dozuki两家公司会把连基础语法都无法分清的求职者的申请表扔到垃圾箱里。由此可见其对语法的重视。故选C项。

　　8．What can we learn from the text?

　　A．Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.

　　B．Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.

　　C．A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.

　　D．People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.”可知，认为写作不重要的员工可能认为其他事情也不重要。由此可以推断，重视写作的人也可能会重视其他的事情。故选D项。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　My daughter Chloe is starting out in college in the fall. With her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money. __1__ Now I have a few lessons I'd like to share with Chloe, and with anyone else starting out in college.

　　__2__ OK, this is almost the only lesson you need. The biggest reason you get into money problems is that you spend money you don't really have. Then you end up in the hole, and it's hard to get out of the hole. You work too many hours to keep up with your spending. And you end up with a life that's about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don't really need. __3__

　　Make a very simple budget. It's a terrible thing for people who've never done a budget, but it will become very simple and easy if you know how to do it. __4__ If the bills add up to more than the income, remove some bills. Pay bills right away. If you have the money, pay the bill as soon as it comes in. You can usually do this online, but if not, it's just a matter of writing a check, putting it in an envelope, and writing out an address—two minutes. __5__ If you let the bill­paying get pushed back, it becomes a terrible thing.

　　That's all you need to know. If you save when you're in college, avoid debt, and pay bills on time, you're golden.

　　A．Why not enjoy your life in college?

　　B．Spend less than you earn.

　　C．So spend less, work less, worry less, be happier.

　　D．Like many young people, she hates thinking about money.

　　E．First, list your income, and then list your bills.

　　E．Find ways to get things done you need to get done.

　　G．Do this two­minute action at once, so you don't have to worry about it later.

　　语篇导读：本文是一位母亲给即将上大学的孩子关于如何管理钱的几点建议，文中提到了花钱不要超出支付能力，要学会制定预算而且要做到有钱立即付账，不拖延。

　　1．D　考查上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空前“With her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money.”提到和新的独立一起到来的是处理钱的责任，所以下文1空就是关于钱的问题，所以答案为D选项。像很多年轻人一样，她讨厌考虑钱的问题。

　　2．B　考查总结归纳主题句的能力。从文章第二段第二句中“...you spend money you don't really have. Then you end up in the hole. 和 you end up with a life that's about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don't really need.”都是指花的钱超出了支付能力，结果就是努力去偿付那些没必要花的钱。所以B选项正确，意思是花的钱不要超出你所挣的钱。

　　3．C　考查对语境的理解及推理判断能力。第二段整段都是说花钱不要超出自己的支付能力，否则就会过上为了还钱而努力挣钱的生活，而且从空前“You work too many hours to keep up with your spending.”判断下面应该是进一步强调少花钱的重要性，故C选项正确，意思是少花钱，少工作，少担心，更快乐。

　　4．E　考查上下文的理解及推理判断能力。这段的建议是制定预算，而且从空后句中“If the bills add up to more than the income, remove some bills.”出现的提示词 bill 和 income 判断E选项正确，意思是首先列出你的收入，然后列出你的账单。

　　5．G　考查上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前面是说有了钱马上付账，付账仅仅是需要两分钟的事情，所以从空前的 two minutes 判断G为正确选项，立即做这个两分钟的活动，这样过后你就不会担心它了。

　　Ⅳ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　(2015·东北三省三校一模)

　　The “selfie” is used to describe the self­taken photo, often from a smartphone. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time he does, and he only ends up __1__(post)one or two of those. He picks the one that he feels make him look the __2__(good). In that picture, he gains confidence. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has happened to him __3__(remove), because that smile is what gives him the __4__(determine) to love himself.

　　I read __5__ poem recently and the young man said, “If I ask you __6__ you love，the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love your mom，your daughter，or your best friend. How long do you think you can go on and on before you say ‘I love __7__(I)’？”

　　That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I've struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in __8__ way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway __9__ confidence. __10__， the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.

　　1．______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

　　6．______　7.______　8.______　9.______　10.______

　　语篇解读：很多人会把自己满意的自拍照发到网上去，他们认为这样可以使自己增强爱自己的决心。

　　1．posting　考查非谓语动词作宾语。end up doing sth.为固定用法，意为：以……而结束，最终做了某事。

　　2．best　 考查形容词最高级形式。由语境可知此处表示从众多自拍照中选一张自己认为最好的，由此判断此处应用good的最高级。

　　3．is removed　考查时态和语态。由语境可知应用一般现在时，又因remove与everything为被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态。

　　4．determination　考查名词。give sb.sth.“给某人某物”。又根据设空处前的the也可判断设空处应为名词。determination为不可数名词，后面常用不定式作定语。

　　5．a　考查冠词。设空处的poem为可数名词，在本句中表泛指，故与不定冠词连用。

　　6．what　考查宾语从句。根据下文的内容可推知此处应为what。

　　7．myself　考查代词。由空前的I及语境可知设空处用反身代词。

　　8．no　考查倒装句式。根据本句中“am I saying”的倒装语序，可推知设空处应为否定词。表示否定意义的介词短语放在句首时，后面的主谓部分常用部分倒装形式。in no way“绝不”。

　　9．to　考查介词。a gateway to...为固定搭配，意为：通向……之路。

　　10．However　考查副词。前后句之间是转折关系，并由后面的逗号可知应填副词。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用()划掉。

　　修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

　　注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

　　2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
