A
I used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.
Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.
I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.
21. Why didn’t the author kill the deer?
A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer. B. He was fooled by the tricky deer.
C. He was sympathetic for the deer. D. He was too shocked to shoot the deer.
22. What most probably happened to the deer in the end?
A. Other hunters shot the deer to death.
B. Other hunters scratched the deer’s head too.
C. The deer managed to escape from being shot.
D. The deer would become friends with the author.
23. What’s the best title of this text?
A.A Hunting in Late Fall. B.A Lovely Deer.
C. The Cruel Killing. D. The Last Hunting.
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要内容为作者遇到了自己将要狩猎的鹿,和它进行了一次亲密接触,最终改变了作者。
21.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.(不是我。在那之后你也不会有。我只是看着他走。)以及第三段主要内容可知,作者在喂了鹿自己的三明治后,对鹿感到同情和怜悯,因此没有杀死它。故选C。
22.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill.(大约在我走到一半的时候,我听到两声枪响,几秒钟后传来一声沉闷的重击。那两枪通常意味着一枪毙命。)可知最可能发生在鹿身上的事情是,最后其他猎人把鹿打死了。故选A。
23.D 【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段I used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.(我过去很喜欢狩猎季节。等待猎物的兴奋和炫耀猎物的自豪使我着迷。然而,在那个寒冷的早晨之后,一切都变了。)以及文章主要内容为作者遇到了自己将要狩猎的鹿,和它进行了一次亲密接触,最终改变了作者。故D选项“最后的狩猎”符合题意。故选D。
B
In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. "Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food? "
Well, Carlin almost has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.
Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching—green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.
But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table.
24. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To introduce a TV show.
C. To state the author’s opinion. D. To explain why people dislike blue.
25. What can we learn about blueberries from Paragraph 2?
A. The blue in blueberries is found natural.
B. Blueberries are still blue when processed.
C. Most people don’t eat blueberries owing to the color.
D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.
26. What does the author mean by saying eating sometimes begins with our eyes?
A. People prefer red-colored food to green food.
B. We should examine food carefully before eating.
C. Our taste experience can be influenced by color.
D. Red-colored foods look sweeter than they actually are.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,通过对科学实验结果和人们饮食习惯的分析,介绍了日常饮食中蓝色食物很少见的原因。
24.A【解析】目的意图题。文章首段引用George Carlin所说的话是为了引入文章的话题,即:为什么生活 中蓝色食物很少见。故选A项。
25.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes — is found in nature.可知,蓝莓的蓝色是天然的。故选A项。
26.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的"color can change our taste experience",可知我们的味觉体验 会受到颜色的影响。故选C项。
C
Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device(设备) may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together?
"It’s certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix," says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s distinguished manners advisors. " I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue. "Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor(合约工)is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors’ favor. "If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it," she says. "In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.
27. The visitors are concerned that the security camera may .
A. threaten their health B. spoil their peace of mind
C. disturb their privacy D. affect their preference
28. What is a host’s responsibility concerning the security camera?
A. Indicating its position. B. Making their guests feel at ease
C. Turning it oil in time. D. Having a casual talk with guests.
29. How can the home security camera benefit contractors working in your home?
A. It can prevent the accidents happening. B. It can prove their innocence.
C. It can record their working progress. D. It can make their work more enjoyable.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the security camera?
A. Negative. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Objective.
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。人们越来越多地在家里使用联网摄像头这种设备来获得内心的平静,但很少有人会停下来考虑这些设备可能对住客产生的影响。有人认为说到安全摄像头,确保客人在家里感到舒适是主人的责任。如果主人通过讲述一个故事,漫不经心地承认房里有一台照相机,这可能足以让客人开口说他们是否感到不舒服。
27.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中" I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue. "(他说:“我认为,如果不存在安全问题,看看你是否告诉别人你有相机,以及客人是否有权要求关掉相机,这将是一件非常有趣的事情。”)可知参观者担心安全摄像头可能会干扰他们的隐私。故选C。
28.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home.(说到安全摄像头,波斯特说,确保客人在家里感到舒适是主人的责任。)可知安全摄像头,主人的责任是让客人感到自在。故选B。
29.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一句In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.(事实上,相机可以证明他们没有偷那20美元,也没有把花瓶从桌子上摔下来。)可知家庭安全摄像头可以通过证明在家工作的合约工的无辜而使他们受益。故选B。
30.D 【解析】观点态度题。根据文章内容可知,作者采用第三方观点对安全摄像头进行论述,并没有说明自己支持还是反对安全摄像头,因此作者的态度是客观的。故选D。

第二节 概要写作(满分15分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Some experts argue the fact that almost one in four teens is constantly online is a dangerous thing, yet I believe that it’s an opportunity. Technology brings us closer together and can help us in everyday life rather than replacing friends with screens.
First, I believe that technology takes the embarrassment out of face-to-face contact, as talking to someone may make you uncomfortable. You could not say what is on your mind. A much simpler way of communicating is through texts. By texting a person, there is no resistance(抵抗) to what you are trying to say. You are able to revise your words before you send them, hopefully not saying something you will later regret or that could hurt someone’s feelings. Apart from making friends face-to-face, there are other ways of interaction using technology. Technology can help bond people together by showing similar interests.
Second, technology can help friends and family keep in touch. When moments together are not within reach, the next best thing is to use technology to catch up on each other’s life and share precious moments through videos and calls. The ability to play back a memory on a screen is amazing, something that can be cherished and kept forever.
Some may argue technology is the problem in the world, but I do not. I believe that technology helps you escape the evil and pressure in the world and has the ability to let you create your own world where what others
say or think doesn’t matter. After a stressful time, technology is there to help you communicate and remind you what you should be grateful for, or just make your day a little better.
In conclusion, I believe that not only is technology not replacing friends with screens but it’s actually bringing us closer together and establishing relationships among teens. Overall, I believe this topic makes the world a better place by making it easier to create friends, and make otherwise lost friends keep in touch.

Despite some people’s worry about technology, I consider it a chance, enhancing relationships and contributing to daily life.(要点1) Technology protects people from the embarrassment they may experience in face-to-face communication and enables them to socialize, share great life moments and save valuable memories. (要点2) It helps people avoid pressure and bad things, improves their communication skills and reminds them to be grateful. (要点3) In short, technology can promote people’s relationship and enrich their life instead of ruining friendship.
