A．Lack of medicine. B．Volcano eruptions. C．Altitude sickness. D．Low temperature all the year.

Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era. Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters.The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down. Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase(楼梯). I was sure I would 3 be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort. Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up. Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(彬彬有礼)． 【解题导语】 在这个忙碌的现代社会，彬彬有礼、体贴他人的品质变得尤为珍贵。作 者讲述了自己经历的一件事情，并赞扬了这种良好的品质。 4．What is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 1? A．A brave action. B．Sacrifice spirit. C．A considerate action. D．Selfish behavior. C 解析：词义猜测题。根据下文故事中的男人为作者让路并且开门可推测出，这是一 种体贴的行为，故选 C 项。A 项意为“勇敢的行为”；B 项意为“牺牲精神”；D 项意为“自 私的行为”。 5．What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him? A．He was in a hurry. B．He would wait for her. C．He would pass her rudely. D．He was a man with good manners. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up.”可知，作者本认为这个男人会粗鲁地挤开她上楼梯，故选 C 项。 6．What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4? A．He might be a waiter of the café. B．He might have an urgent business to do. C．He loved a daughter of the author. D．He would hold the door open for all. B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time.”以及下文谈到她们都来不及对这个男人说一声谢谢可推知，那个男人上楼梯，一次上 4 两级台阶，应该是有急事要做，故选 B 项。 C It’s well known to car drivers that red means “stop”， green means “go”， and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”．Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars.They were red and green, gaspowered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak. Red is an inherited(继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures.As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光谱), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.Red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear. Green’s wavelength is next to(and shorter than) yellow’s on the visible spectrum, meaning it’s still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”， while the “allclear” light was, well, clear or white.It is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an allclear.Thus, green became“go”， and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains. From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s，not all stop signs were red—many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.In 1915 the yellow stopsign craze began in Detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light. But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the stillhighlyvisible yellow to the domain(领域) of “caution”．That’s why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。我们都知道“红灯停，绿灯行，黄灯亮了快点走” 的交通规则，但交通信号灯为什么是红、黄、绿三种颜色呢？本文主要介绍了交通信号灯的 起源和发展。 7．What were traffic lights originally intended for? A．Trains. B．Cars. 5 C．Planes. D．Ships. A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains，not cars.”可知，最初，交通信号灯是为火 车而不是汽车的通行而设计的。故选 A。 8．What’s the main reason for red’s long being used to mean “stop”？ A．It can be seen even in dark areas. B．It represents danger in many cultures. C．It has the longest wavelength. D．People prefer red to other colors. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光谱)，it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.”可知，由于红色在可见光谱中波长最长，因此可视距离要比其他颜色 更远，这也是其能长期被用作表示“停止”的交通信号的原因。故选 C。 9．Which of the following may the author agree with? A．The meaning of red is culturespecific. B．Yellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s. C．Green’s wavelength is just second to that of red. D．Green’s role in lights has changed over time. D 解 析 ： 推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 第 三 段 中 的 内 容 尤 其 是 “green meant ‘caution’”“green became‘go’”可知，随着时间的变化，绿色在交通信号灯中所扮演 的角色也发生了巨大的变化。故选 D。 10．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The significance of road traffic signs. B．The history of railroad transportation. C．The symbolic meaning of different colors. D．The origin and development of traffic lights. D 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了交通信号灯的起源与发展， 并解释了这三种颜色(红、黄、绿)的物理性质及为什么会被用作交通信号灯。故 D 项最为全 面地概括了文章的主要内容。 Ⅱ 七选五 My father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion. He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn’t be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream. 1.________ 6 He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments.

Then he coached me patiently. Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling. Even now, Papa’s words are still in my mind “Geeta，think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys，girls who are forced to do chores，girls who are married and have children.

By one and a half, he had discovered the__plum__tree in the backyard, and its friendly branches became his favorite place. At first he would 13 climb just a few feet and make himself comfortable where the trunk met the branches. Soon he was building himself a small fort( 要 塞 ) and dragging his__toy__tractors__and__trucks up to their new garage. One day when he was two, Justin was playing in__the__tree as usual. I turned my back, but didn’t find him. “Justin, where are you？” I cried out. His tiny voice called back, “Up here, Mommy, picking all the plums for you！” I looked up in horror and disbelief. There was Justin on__the__roof__of__the__house,__filling his__plastic__basket with the ripe plums from his favorite tree. When Justin was three, I became pregnant(怀孕的). My husband and I explained to him that we were going to have another baby as a playmate for him. He was very excited, kissed my tummy(肚子) and said,“Hello, baby, I’m your big brother, Justin.” From the beginning he was sure he was going to have a little sister, and every day he’d beg to know if she was ready to play yet. When I explained that the__baby wasn’t arriving until the end of June, he seemed confused. One day he asked, “When is June, Mommy ？ ” I realized I needed a__better_explanation;__how could a threeyearold know what “June” meant? Just then, as Justin climbed into the low branches of the plum tree, he gave me the answer I was looking for—his special tree. “Justin, the baby is going to be born when the plums are ripe. You can keep me posted when that will be, okay？”I wasn’t completely sure if I was on target, but the gardener in me was confident I’d be close enough. Oh, he was excited! Now Justin had a way to know when his new baby sister would come to play. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2．应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： From that moment on，_____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： June finally arrived, and the plums would be ripe soon.___________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 14 One possible version： Paragraph 1： From that moment on, Justin checked the__plum__tree several times a day and reported his findings to me.

Our gardener Justin became very excited. He climbed his tree anyway with his__plastic__basket to pick some plums off the branches where the sun shone warmest. He brought them to me to let me know the baby would also be ripe soon. He even took out his__toy__tractors__and__trucks for his baby sister. At last, he won. He had a beautiful sister！
