只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。Theboylookeddownandsaid,“I’msorry,butIwenttowatchafilm.”“Son,I’mveryangry，”repliedthefather.“Butnotwithyou.I’mangrywithmyself.WheredidIgowrongasafather?Whydidyouhavetolietome?Takethecarhome.IwillreflectonitasIwalk.”Theboyfollowedhisfather,begginghimtositinsidethecar.Buthisfathercontinuedwalkingsilentlyallthewaybackhome.Fromthatdayonthesonneveragainliedtohisparents.[写作内容]1．用约30个词概括上文的主要内容。2．用约120个词谈谈你对“说谎”的看法，内容包括：(1)你怎么理解故事中儿子爸爸的反应；(2)描述一次你(或你的朋友)说谎的经过及其结果；(3)这次经历给你(或你的朋友)的教训和启示。[写作要求]1．作文中可以使用亲身经历或者虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料中的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。[评分标准]概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。答案Ⅰ.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。“我”在一次偶然的情况下发现了在收费亭工作的一个有趣的人，在大多数人眼里，这是一份枯燥的工作，但是这个人却能通过自己的方法从中找到乐趣。1．选C　根据上文中的“Ihavebeenthrougheveryoneofthe17tollbooths(收费亭)”及下文“Imightgetchange”可知，“我”经过的是收费亭，所以要交钱。2．选A　根据第三段中的“Ihadadozenotherquestionsforhim”以及“ButImadeanotetomyself：Findthisguyagain.”可知，“我”之前一直没有碰到值得记住的人。3．选C　根据下文中的“Noothercarswiththeirwindows...”可知，“我”是开车去的。4．选B　根据第四段中的“...withtheloudmusic”可知，此处表示“很大的音乐声”。5．选A　根据语境可知，“我”听到有很大的音乐声，原以为是其他车里的音乐声，可是发现其他车的车窗没有开着。7 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。6．选D　根据第四段中的“Dancing.I’mgoingtobeadancersomeday.”可知，这名男子在跳舞。7．选B　根据上文中的“I’mhavingaparty.”可知，男子说自己在举行一个聚会，而事实上只有男子一个人，所以“我”就问他其他人在哪儿。8．选B　根据上文可知，有十七个收费亭，而这个跳舞的男子又说在举行聚会，所以“我”看了看其他的收费亭，想知道是否里面的人也被邀请了。9．选C　根据语境可知，跳舞的只有男子一人，所以他并没有邀请其他人。10．选D　根据语境可知，前后句之间表示转折关系。11．选A　根据下文中的“startedpushinghishorn(喇叭)”可知，这个按喇叭的人很着急。inahurry“急切地”，符合语境。12．选C　getoff“下车”；takeoff“脱下，起飞”；driveoff“开车离去”；leaveoff“停止，中断”。根据语境可知，有人催“我”离开，所以“我”就开车离开了。13．选D　上文提到“我”第一次遇见他时，他在放着音乐，所以此处表示“再次见面时，他仍然放着音乐”。14．选A　上文提到他问“我”这排收费亭像什么，“我”认为像收费亭，再根据下文中的“Ithinktheyareverticalcoffins(竖直的棺材)．”可知，男子认为它们像竖起的棺材。所以，男子认为“我”没有想象力。15．选D　根据下文中的“comingtolife”可知，人们进去的时候是活着的。16．选A　根据下文中的“comingtolife...Foreighthours，brainisonhold，deadonthejob.”可知，八个小时里他们都处于“死亡”状态。17．选B　根据上文可知，这个男子也在收费亭工作，所以他和其他十六个人的工作环境是一样的。18．选B　根据上文中的“Sixteenpeopledeadonthejob”可知，这个男子找到了一种不同的方式，即在工作时是活着的状态。19．选C　上文提到收费亭就像竖起的棺材，人们进去工作后，就处于“死亡”状态，说明这种工作很枯燥乏味。20．选A　根据上文可知，这名男子每天上班时都会开着音乐跳舞，并且认为自己某天会成为舞者；所以，此处表示“练习舞蹈”。Ⅱ.语篇解读：文章介绍了一种世界上最小的飞行机器，谈及Wood博士及其同事研发该机器的初衷，描述了该飞行机器的外形特征、用途及须改善之处。1．选C　细节理解题。文章第四段中提及Wood博士及其同事认为，即使拥有目前最好的微型机械和电气零件，也无法研制出一个具有实际苍蝇飞行能力的人造苍蝇。因此，他们不得不采用一种新的制造形式来完成这项工作，他们将其称为智能复合材料微观结构(SCM)。故答案为C。7 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。2．选D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二、三、四句可知，答案为D。3．选B　词义猜测题。文章第五段指出，Wood博士的机器人是模仿一种被称作蚜蝇(Eristalis)的食蚜蝇而制造的。精确模仿这种生物的飞行还需要大量的工作才能实现。尽管如此，它们现在已经可以悬浮在空中。它们还可以完成简单的飞行动作。因此mimic是“模仿”的意思。故答案为B。4．选A　推理判断题。文章最后一段指出“这也可以利用合适的芯片替代。但该引线也可运载19毫瓦的电力，相当于大小相同的飞虫消耗的功率。利用轻质电池也可实现该技术。但是它们仅供机器人飞行几分钟”。可推知，还需要在电池方面作改进。故答案为A。Ⅲ.参考范文：Ateenagerliedtohisfatherwhenhefailedtopickhimupontime.Insteadofscoldingtheboy,theangryfatherwalkedhometopunishhimself.Thesonfeltguiltyandneverliedagain.　Itotallyunderstandthefather’sreactionsinthearticle.Hemighthavereflectedhehimselfhaddonewrongsomewheresothathissonwasn’tfrankwithhimandthatitwashisownfault.Thedeeploveandconcerntowardhischildisvividlyconveyedinhisselfcriticism.Thisstoryremindsmeofanunforgettableexperience.Oneweekend,lastyear,Iwassupposedtoattendanenrichmentclass.Somehow,itwascancelled.Insteadofstayingathome,Iliedtomymotherandspentthatwholeafternoonhangingaroundwithmyfriends.ThateveningwhenIgothome,myangrymum,whoactuallyhadlearnedaboutthetruthfrommyclassmatesearlier,taughtmeagoodlesson.Iendedupwithmymumaccompanyingmetoeveryenrichmentclass.Iwasreallysadtohavelostmymum’strust.Fromthisexperience,Ihaverealizedthattellingliescandonothingbutworsenourfaults.Anyattempttoliewillgetustorisklosingthetrustfromothers.Therefore,weshouldfaceourmistakesbravelyanddealwiththetroublesbeforetheygetworse.Noonewillrefusetoforgiveasincerepersonwhohasrightedthewrongs.7
