一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）

A

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare （兔子）and the tortoise （乌龟）．At the end I said，" Son，remember：Be slow and steady （镇定的），and that will win the race．Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise？"

Sonny opened his eyes wide，"Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy，Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway？"

I was shocked，"But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!"

"He must have wished that，" Sonny said，"Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare？He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did．" "He didn't have such a wish，" I insisted．"He won the race by perseverance （毅力），by pushing on steadily．"

Sonny thought a while．"That's a lie，" he said．"He won it because he was lucky．If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep，the tortoise would never have won the race．He could be as steady as you like，or a hundred times steadier，but he'd never have won the race．That's for sure．"

I gave up．Today's children are not like what we used to be．They're just hopeless．

Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.

Ideas for summer work:

●Parks and Recreat ion Programs.

●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.

●Working part-time at a day care (日托) for the summer.

●Car washing.

●Working at local vegetable stands.

The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others' inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.

Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or at least you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.

You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2510825627.html,.

4.The passage is mainly written for______.

A. teenagers

B. teachers

C. parents

D. website designers

5.Which of the following is NOT considered when teenagers look for summer jobs?

A. Who they'd better work for.

B. How much should be paid.

C. Whether the jobs are safe.

D. Where the workplace is.

6.What can we learn about https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2510825627.html,?

A. The author set up the website.

B. It gives information about educating children.

C. People need to pay to visit the website.

D. It offers ideas for children to make money.

C

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think

left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

7.After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found

_______.

A. the art began from 1,500

B. ;

C.

B. the works of art ended in the 1950s

C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed

D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed

8.What is the hand for most people used to do?

A. It’s used to find or hold things.

B. It’s used to work with things.

C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.

D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.

9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

10.The best title for this passage is _______.

A. Scientists’ New Inventions

B. Left-handed People

C. Which Hand

D. Different Brains, Different Hands

【解析】【文章大意】作者发现了一些网站可以提供一些信息或想法，帮助孩子们找到适合自己的赚钱方法。

1. 推理判断题。文章第一段"Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money." 提到了your kid，并且文章多次提到your child，由此可知，文章主要写给做父母的。故选C。

Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices." 描述，可知当年轻人找假期工作时，要考虑的是为谁工作(what they want to do )，工资问题(fair prices) 等等，不包括工作地点。故选D。

细节理解题。根据第一段2，3行In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1，500 B．C．to the 1950s．Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed 可知，在1799年，科学家们研究在不同时期从公元前1500年到20世纪50年代创作的艺术作品，在这些作品中的大部分人是右撇子。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据For most people，the left hand is used to find things or hold things．可知对于大多数人来说，左手是用来寻找东西或拿东西。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第3段No one really knows what makes a person become

right-handed instead of left-handed.可知没有人真正知道是什么让一个人常用右手而不是左手，说明A正确，A long time ago，left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children，but today they don't have to.可知很久很久以前，左撇子儿童想自己的右手像其他孩子一样，但今天他们不需要，说明C正确．so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed.可知，因此科学家想之所以会变成左手一定有另一个原因。说明D正确，唯独文章没有提到左撇子比使用右手的人更聪明，故C 项Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness错误。故选B。

【小题1】ancestors 【小题2】to

express

【小题3】for

【小题4】

when

【小题5】a

【小题6】independent 【小题7】is

celebrated

【小题8】

energetic

【小题9】

Why

【小题10】

forgetting

【解析】1．ancestors．考查名词，使祖先高兴，因为不止一个，故填ancestors．2．to express．考查不定式，为了表达感谢，表示目的，故填to express．

3．for．考查介词，for表示因为，这里引导原因状语，因为带来了丰收，故填for．4．when．考查连词，定语从句，先行词是 the Day of the Dead，在定语从句中做时间状语，故填关系副词when．

5．a．考查冠词．festival是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．故填a．6．independent．考查形容词，一个独立的国家，修饰名词，故填形容词independent．7．is celebrated．考查被动语态．主语which即 the Spring Festival和动词celebrate之间是被动关系，文章叙述的是客观的事情，所以应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is celebrated．

8．energetic．考查形容词．因为and连接并列结构，根据and后的形容词important，可知此处也应用energy的形容词形式，故填energetic．

9．Why．考查连词，为什么会有这种节日？故填Why．

10．forgetting．考查现在分词．动词forget与其逻辑主语people之间是主动关系，并且与谓语动作几乎同时发生，所以应用forget的现在分词形式，故填forgetting．

世界各地有各种各样的节日，有的是为了满足和取悦祖先，有的是为了纪念一些名人或重要事件，也有的节日是为了庆祝丰收而向上帝表达谢意．本文举例介绍了几个节日．本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．

本文属于提纲作文，动笔前，一定要认真分析要点，理解要点要表达的含义，不能遗漏要点，跑题偏题．平时除了加强词汇积累，写作联系以外，还可以适当记忆一些类似的范文，这样在考试中可以起到事半功倍的效果．

高分句型一：Firstly，it's important to have a positive attitude towards exams，which to some extent helps figure out your problems．首先，对考试有一个积极的态度很重要，这在一定程度上有助于解决你的问题．本句中it是形式主语，to have a…动词不定式是真正的主语．which引导了一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前边整个句子的意思，在从句中做主语．

高分句型二：Lastly，why not turn to your teachers，friends and classmates for help when things don't work out as you expected．最后，当事情不像你预期的那样进行时，为什么不向你的老师、朋友和同学求助呢？why not+动词原形是英语的固定表达方式"为什么不…样呢？"向别人提建议的一种句式．when引导了时间状语从句．

英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．
