【原文】Hey, folks! Thanks for having me on the show. This is my first time on TV!
Listen, I just came back from Hawaii, and I wanted to tell you about my trip. The weather is great in Hawaii: sunshine and cool winds every day. Life is a little different compared to the “mainland”. Hawaiian people like to be outside, whether it’s on the beach, sitting outside at a cafe, or walking in the mountains and forests. There are a number of islands that make up the state of Hawaii, which is the youngest of all the United States. Each island has a different environment and a different feel to it. Maui, located in the middle of the islands, is very popular with tourists and families. I was there for three days and had a great time during the day. But at nighttime, it was a little too quiet for me. Then we went to the island of Hawaii, better known as the “Big Island”. That place is famous for its volcanoes! There are a couple things about Hawaii that I don’t like. One is the cost: it’s expensive to fly there, and hotels are usually very pricey. The other is the fact that vegetables are not as common. I guess it’s harder to grow them there, and they’re not really much part of the diet.

The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.
That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.
However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular(课 外的) activities, while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.
Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.
Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.
24. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Why Do People Like to Compare Me with My Twin Brother?
B. Why Am I Choosing a Different University with My Twin Brother?
C. What Are Some Main Benefits of Being Twin Brothers at School?
D. How Can Twin Brothers Get Along Well with Each Other at School?
25. What can be inferred about the author?
A. He was fed up with people’s comparisons.
B. He was glad to hear people’s comparisons.
C. He is more handsome than David.
D. He was better at academic subjects than David.
26. What does the author think of him and David studying in the same math experimental class?
A. Boring. B. Harmful. C. Awful. D. Beneficial.
27. The author chose to go to a different university in order to ________.
A. avoid seeing David B. escape arguing with David
C. pursue a different experience D. strengthen bonds with David
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

For some parents, hitting a child who misbehaves is a common punishment. In fact, they may think that a physical type of punishment is good for children and will teach them to behave in the future.
However, a leading group of child health specialists suggest that the opposite is true. These experts say that hitting is not only ineffective, but may even cause long-term harm to the child. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently changed its policy on physical punishment for a child. Released in October, the academy warns that hitting a child may have long-term effects. These effects include “aggression, brain changes, substance abuse and suicidal behavior in adulthood”. The report admits that not every child who is spanked will have these problems later in life. It makes this observation: “Although many children who were spanked become happy, healthy adults, current evidence suggests that hitting is not necessary and may result in long-term harm.”
In recent years, many American experts have been advising parents against the use of physical punishment. Many other countries have already banned corporeal punishment. Sweden was the first nation to do so in 1966. Earlier studies have shown that corporal punishment can also affect a child’s ability to think and learn. In 2012, a Canadian study found that hitting children can cause long-term developmental damage and may even lower a child’s intelligence test scores. The American Academy of Pediatrics also warns against using strong verbal abuse or shame to discipline a child. These types of punishment can also cause long-term problems for a child.
Instead, they suggest other types of punishment that are appropriate for the age of the child.
For younger children, punishment could be taking away a favorite toy. For older children, a parent can limit the time the child spends watching television or playing with computers or electronic games.
28. What can we know according to the experts?
A. Spanking a child is not effective but harmful.
B. Sweden was the first country to spank a child in 1996.
C. The study from Canada found that spanking children can lower children’s grades.
D Many American experts found spanking a child can cause anti-social behavior.
29. Which of the following best explains “discipline” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Protect. B. Control. C. Persuade. D. Punish.
30. What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph?
A. We should take away younger children’s favorite toys as punishment.
B. As for older children, we need allow them to watch TV or play games.
C Different children should be given different ways to punish.
D. It may be ineffective for younger or older children to have punishment.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A physical type of punishment.
B. The effects of punishment.
C. Different countries have different types of punishment.
D. How to punish the mischievous children.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】

For older children, a parent can limit the time the child spends watching television or playing with computers or electronic games.可知,对于年龄小的孩子惩罚可以是没收他们喜爱的玩具;对于大一点的孩子,父母可以通过限制看电视或者玩电脑、电子游戏的时间来进行惩罚,即不同年龄段的孩子用不同的惩罚方式。C. Different children should be given different ways to punish.(不同孩子应该用不同的方式惩罚)符合以上说法,故选C项。

“Small enough to fit in your hands but too dangerous to hold” is a good description of the hedgehog. Though small, it is able to protect itself from attack or harm. Thousands of stiff, sharp spines cover the animal’s back and sides. Even though spines provide the hedgehog with effective protection, the animal’s most striking characteristic is its practice of curling up into a tight ball, with its spines sticking out in all directions. The hedgehog curls up if disturbed or
frightened—only the strongest animals can open it. It also sleeps in this position, so it is rarely caught unprotected.
Hedgehogs can live in a wide range of climates and lands in East Africa. They must have dry shelters on well-drained soil and a good supply of insects. Nairobi, the capital of Kenya in East Africa, meets these habitat conditions, where hedgehogs are reported to be abundant. A hedgehog uses a small home range with an approximate 120-yard radius (半径范围) from its nest. The hedgehog makes loud noises if its range is invaded by another animal.
The hedgehog wakes up at dusk and begins its activities alone. It uses regular pathways, walking along on its short legs searching for food. A hedgehog will eat about one-third of its body weight in one night. Its favorite foods are insects, earthworms and snails, making it a welcome guest in many gardens—it is even kept as a pet. It is also known to eat eggs, small mammals, birds, frogs, reptiles, and roots. Although not completely immune to poison, hedgehogs have enough resistance to allow them to eat poisonous snakes.
32. While facing danger, the hedgehog ________.
A. stands straight up B. makes loud noises
C. goes back to its nest D. uses its spines for protection
33. The second paragraph is mainly about hedgehog’s ________.
A. appearance B. habitat C. diet D. hunting skills
34. According to paragraph 3, the hedgehog is ________.
A. active at night B. afraid of snakes
C. keeping away from gardens D. totally immune to poisons
35. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. there is a lot of rain in Nairobi
B. hedgehogs are cooperative animals
C. hedgehogs always stay on guard against danger
D. there is an increasing trend towards keeping pet hedgehogs
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了刺猬的特点和生活习性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的Even though spines provide the hedgehog with effective protection,可知,刺猬用它的刺来保护自己。D. uses its spines for protection(用刺来作为保护)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容,尤其是Nairobi, the capital of Kenya in East Africa, meets these habitat conditions, where hedgehogs are reported to be abundant.可知,本段主要介绍刺猬的栖息地。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的A hedgehog will eat about one-third of its body weight in one night.可知,一只刺猬一晚上可以吃掉自己身体重量三分之一的食物,故推测刺猬晚上很活跃。A. active at night(晚上活跃)符合以上推测,故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段的It also sleeps in this position, so it is rarely caught unprotected.可知,刺猬睡觉时也保持蜷缩的状态,所以它很少不受保护地被抓住。故推测刺猬总是处于警惕状态。C. hedgehogs always stay on guard against danger(刺猬总是提防着危险)符合以上说法,故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了重庆公交车落入长江事件的经过,以及作者的看法。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词是前面的整个句子,它在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词which,故填which。
【62题详解】
考查时态和语态。根据前文的fell判断为一般过去时,又主语accident和cause之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语accident是单数,故填was caused。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。此处运用了短语fail to do sth,意为“做某事失败”,故填to get。
【64题详解】
考查名词的数。word是可数名词,此处是作为“话”来讲,故用复数形式,故填words。
【65题详解】
考查时态。根据“before he realized it”判断此处的动作发生在过去之前,故用过去完成时,故填had lost。
【66题详解】

【67题详解】
考查固定短语。固定短语on the other hand,意为“另一方面”,故填the。
【68题详解】
考查形容词。此处考查形容词短语作后置定语修饰名词driver,responsible for对……负责的,故填responsible。
【69题详解】
考查副词。此处应填副词修饰形容词reckless,extremely非常地,故填extremely。
【70题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意:如果有任何乘客勇敢地上前制止这种行为,这场悲剧是可以避免的。由had stepped和might have been prevented判断,此处是非真实条件状语从句,再结合句意可知,意为“如果”符合语境,故填If。
【点睛】第一小题考查定语关系词
确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步:找到先行词;分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分;考虑特殊情况。以本题为例:
找到先行词:a bus in Chongqing fell into the Yangtze River
分析先行词在从句中充当的成分:先行词在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词;考虑特殊情况:非限制性定语从句不用that;先行词是句子不用that,故填which。

Dear Jane,
Hello, Jane. I want to tell you something about your trip. Yesterday it was sunny and a little wind. I went to a park for a trip with my classmates. Since a park is far away, we took a bus to there. What beautiful the park was! We swam in the pool then played volleyball. We took a lot of food and eat it for lunch under a big tree. Then we listened to musics and had a rest. In the afternoon, we went fish and took lots of photos. Both of us had a great time in the park.
Yours,
Gina
【答案】your→ my
wind→ windy
a → the
删去there前的 to
What→ How
在pool 后加and
eat→ ate
musics→ music
went后加to或fish→ fishing
Both→ All
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和朋友去公园玩耍的事情。
【详解】1. 考查形容词性物主代词。句意:你好,Jane,我想告诉你一些我旅行的事。根据下文内容可知,此处应是“我的旅行”,故将your改为my。
2. 考查形容词。根据and和sunny判断此处应用形容词,故将wind改为windy。
3. 考查冠词。结合语境可知,此处是特指之前提到的公园,应是特指,故将a改为the。
4. 考查副词。there是副词,副词前不能用冠词,故删去there前的 to。
5. 考查感叹句。beautiful是形容词,应用how引出感叹句,故将What改为How。
6. 考查并列连词。句中swam和played是两个并列的谓语动词,且是顺承,故在pool后加and。
7. 考查时态。本篇讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,故将eat改为ate。
8. 考查名词的数。music(音乐)是不可数名词,故将musics改为music。
9. 考查固定短语。本句考查短语go fishing/ go to fish去钓鱼,故在went后加to,或者将fish改为fishing。
10. 考查代词。根据前文的I went to a park for a trip with my classmates可知,去公园的至少有三人,故将Both改为All。
【点睛】第10小题考查both和all的区别 both指代两者都,all指代三者或三者以上的全部。以本题为例,根据I went to a park for a trip with my classmates可知去公园的至少有三人,故用all代指三者及以上的全部。故将both改为all。
