Small as she was, she had attacked him as he carried her to the ground. "I'm going to call you Frightful,'' he had said. Then he carried her to a tree. This was Sam's home. He fed her four and five times a day. Before long, Frightful thought of him as her mother. He cared for her like a peregrine falcon （游隼） mother would. When she was older, Sam made a perch （栖木）for her and placed her on it. He taught her to fly to his hand. When she was full-grown, he took her hunting with him. At night and on winter days, she perched on his bedstead and warmed herself by the fireplace. On summer days, she would sit on her perch outside and watch the birds and busy Sam. Patiently she waited for him to take her hunting. It was her greatest pleasure. She loved the sky and the winds. Frightful was an excellent hunter who rarely missed. The food was shared. Their lives depended on each other. Frightful wanted to fly but she could not see. Blindfolded, she had traveled with two strange men for several days. One of them had taken her from the perch beside the tree. She looked at him before he covered her head. She must find Sam again now. Sam had begged the man not to take her away, but he had pushed Sam aside and earned her. A door had closed, and she was inside a truck. The motor was moving. A falcon bell tinkled （叮 当作响） nearby. A sharp-shinned hawk （条纹鹰）had shifted his feet. A prairie falcon called out a single note. They, like herself, were sensing the direction of the moving car. Several feedings later, the second man put Frightful on a perch in a forest. The prairie falcon and sharp-shinned hawk were there, too. Although they would readily attack her, she was not afraid of them. Frightful was a peregrine falcon. She was faster than any other bird. Her long pointed wings, wide shoulders, and strong body were sculpted by the wind, the open sky, and the nature of her ancestral birds. 4. What was Frightful like when Sam met her for the first time? A. Big. B. Cute. C. Weak. D. Aggressive. 5. What did Frightful think of Sam? A. She feared him. B. She felt he was cruel. C. She considered him as her family. D. She thought he made her work hard. 6. What happened to Frightful later? A. She attacked robbers. B. She had a narrow escape. C. She was taken away from Sam. D. She was sold to strangers by Sam. 7. What will Frightful probably do next? A. Learn how to fly faster. B. Try to come back to Sam. C. Fight against the two men. D. Get on well with other birds. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Sam 和一只名叫 Frightful 的游隼的故事。 【4 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Frightful had not been quite two weeks old when she first saw Sam Gribley. Small as she was, she had attacked him as he carried her to the ground.”（Frightful 第一次见到萨姆·格里布利时还不到两个星期。她个子虽小，却在他把她抱到地上时袭击了 他。）可推知，Frightful 第一次见到 Sam 时有侵略性。故选 D。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He fed her four and five times a day. Before long, Frightful thought of him as her mother. He cared for her like a peregrine falcon mother would.”（他一天喂 她四、五次。不久以后，她把他当作她的母亲。他像游隼妈妈一样照顾她。）可知，Frightful 认为 Sam 是家人。故选 C。 【6 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Sam had begged the man not to take her away, but he had pushed Sam aside and earned her.”（萨姆曾央求那个男人不要把她带走，但他却把萨姆推到一边，抓 住了她。）可知，她被人从萨姆身边带走了。故选 C。 【7 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“She must find Sam again now.”（她现在必须再找到萨姆。） 和文章最后一段“Frightful was a peregrine falcon. She was faster than any other bird. Her long pointed wings, wide shoulders, and strong body were sculpted by the wind, the open sky, and the nature of her ancestral birds.”（Frightful 是一只游隼。她跑得比其他任何鸟都快。她那又长又 尖的翅膀、宽阔的肩膀和强壮的身体，都是由风、开阔的天空和她祖先鸟类的天性所塑造的。） 可推知，Frightful 可能会回到 Sam 身边。故选 B。 C Boredom is something to experience. If kids don't figure this out early on, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. School, let's face it, can be dull and it isn't actually the teacher's job to entertain as well as educate. - In a much-read story, The Relentlessness of Modem Parenting, Claire Cain Miller referred to a recent study that found regardless of class, income or race, parents believed that "children who were bored after school should take part in extracurricular activities, and that parents who were busy should stop their task and draw with their children if asked." Parents preparing for a long car ride are like army officers planning a complex land maneuver （(演 习)）with the help of games and movies played on iPad and smartphones. What did parents in the 1970s do when kids were bored? Nothing! They let them breathe in gas fumes. And since it wasn't actually for wearing, play with the broken safety belt. If you complained about being bored back then, you were really asking for it. "Clean your room," you might get. Was this fun? No. Was it helpful? Yes. Because things happen when you're bored. Some of the most boring jobs I've had were also the most creative. While checking out food at the supermarket, I invented stories about people's purchases. The man buying eggplant and a six-pack of beer at 9 p.m.: Which was the must-get thing and which the impulse purchase? How did my former fifth-grade teacher feel about my observing her weekly purchase of cookies? The ability to handle boredom, not surprisingly, is associated with the ability to focus. Research has shown that people with attention disorders are particularly poor in handling boredom. It's especially important that kids get bored and be allowed to stay bored when they be young. It shouldn't be considered "a problem" to be avoided or removed by the higher-ups, but instead something kids handle on their own. We've stopped training children to do this. Rather than teach them to understand material that is duller, teachers spend more time inventing ways to "attract" students. But surely teaching children to stand boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future. 8. What is the finding of the study mentioned by Claire Cain Miller? A. School kids find it hard to stand boredom. B. People are too busy to draw with their kids. C. Extracurricular activities are gaining popularity. D. Parents are trying their best to make their kids have fun. 9. What did parents in the 1970s usually do when kids were bored on a long car ride? A. They played with them. B. They left them alone. C. They told them about famous movies. D. They asked them to pay attention to safety. 10. Why does the author share her experience at the supermarket? A. To show customers' purchasing habits. B. To show what a difficult life she was living. C. To show boredom and jobs go hand in hand. D. To show the link between boredom and creativity. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Kids have enough fun B. Life is a boring journey C. Let kids get bored again D. Turn boredom into entertainment 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述实验和自身经历说明需要教会孩子们忍受无聊。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“children who were bored after school should take part in extracurricular activities, and that parents who were busy should stop their task and draw with their children if asked”（放学后感到无聊的孩子应该参加课外活动，而忙碌的家长如果被要 求，应该停下手中的工作，和孩子一起画画）可知，Claire Cain Miller 提及的 研究发现父母尽他们最大的努力让他们的孩子有乐趣。故选 D。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句第三句“What did parents in the 1970s do when kids were bored? Nothing! ”（上世纪 70 年代，当孩子们无聊时，父母们会做什么?什么都不做!）可知， 上世纪 70 年代父母在孩子们无聊时不会管他们。故选 B。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段第一句第二句“Because things happen when you're bored. Some of the most boring jobs I've had were also the most creative. ”（因为当你无聊的时候，事情就会发 生。我所做过的一些最无聊的工作却也是最有创造力的。）可知，作者分享自己在超市的经 历的目的是展示无聊和创造力之间的联系。故选 D。 4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后两句“Rather than teach them to understand material that is duller, teachers spend more time inventing ways to "attract" students. But surely teaching children to stand boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future.”（老师们花更多的时间发明方法 来“吸引”学生，而不是教他们去理解那些枯燥无味的材料。但毫无疑问，教会孩子们忍受无 聊会让他们为更现实的未来做好准备。）可知，本文的主要意图是提倡教会孩子们忍受无聊。 所以短文的最佳标题为“许孩子们感到无聊”。故选 C。 D "Italians don't get fat" is a popular saying used to describe Italian food and lifestyle. Italians are famously devoted to their great food, yet their obesity rate is really low compared with other countries. Many studies have found that an Italian diet has numerous health benefits, from reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease to living a healthier, longer life. However, something must be getting lost in translation. Many Italian foods are everything but healthy. On a recent trip to my homeland, Italy, I decided to see for myself why the Italians don't get fat. My trip started where my family lives, in the northern Italy, and ended 15 days later on the Amalfi coast. It quickly became very clear that the Italians know how to really enjoy the experience of eating. They socialize and relax while dining over dinner. Before and after dinner, most people in Italy walk through town, called passeggiata. People walk together, talking and keeping alive a valued tradition. Many people in Italy aren't regardful about calories because they usually stop eating when they are full. Italians, also lead active lifestyle, with lots of bike riding or walking, mostly in urban areas. Moreover, they usually satisfy a sweet tooth with fruits instead of sweet desserts. Italians simply balance the quality and quantity of foods. People in Italy enjoy the fat, but they don't overdo it. What I personally like the most is that the kitchen secrets are passed along from generation to generation, little children can always be found in the kitchen with their mammas ——learning from them. Italians learn to eat well and just enjoy something sweet on occasion. How right they are! Because when people go on diets, they usually get depressed and gain even more weight. An Italian mealtime should be a relaxed occasion enjoyed in the great company of family or friends. Cooking at home and avoiding restaurant food are some of the reasons why Italians don't get fat. So, always choose homemade food and try to be active after eating. If you don't have time or don't want to leave the house, there are many healthy exercises that you can do at home. 12. What does the author say about Italian food? A. It is healthy. B. It contains high fat. C. It helps people lose weight. D. It lowers the risks of various diseases. 13. Why did the author go back home? A. She missed her family. B. She wanted to have a rest. C. She planned to travel in her hometown. D. She decided to find the secret of Italian diets. 14. What does the underlined word “regardful”in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Concerned. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Frightened. 15. Why do Italians never get fat? A. They seldom eat out. B. They don't have a sweet tooth. C. They avoid taking a passeggiata. D. They control fat they take in strictly. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是为什么意大利人吃的食物富含高脂肪仍不会胖的原因，作者 经过研究观察后发现意大利人虽然使用高脂肪食物，但是会控制摄入食物的量，并且不会发 胖也与他们健康的生活方式也息息相关。 【12 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Many studies have found that an Italian diet has numerous health benefits, from reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease to living a healthier, longer life. However, something must be getting lost in translation. Many Italian foods are everything but healthy.(许多研究发现，意大利饮食对健康有很多好处，从降低患癌症和心脏病的风险到更 健康、更长寿。然而，在翻译过程中，一定会遗漏一些东西。许多意大利食物完全不健康。)” 可知A,C,D三项表达错误，结合第六段“Italians simply balance the quality and quantity of foods. People in Italy enjoy the fat, but they don't overdo it.(意大利人只是简单地平衡食物的质量和数 量。意大利人喜欢吃高脂肪食物，但不会过量食用。)”可推知意大利食物含高脂肪，故选 B 项。 【13 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On a recent trip to my homeland, Italy, I decided to see for myself why the Italians don't get fat.(在最近一次回到我的祖国意大利的旅行中，我决定亲自去看看为什么 意大利人不会变胖。)”可知作者回家的目的是为了了解为什么意大利人吃这些食物不会发 胖，由此推断作者想要找出意大利饮食的秘密，故选 D 项。 【14 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“Many people in Italy aren't regardful about calories because they usually stop eating when they are full. Italians, also lead active lifestyle, with lots of bike riding or walking, mostly in urban areas. Moreover, they usually satisfy a sweet tooth with fruits instead of sweet desserts.(许多意大利人不在意卡路里，因为他们通常吃饱了就会停止进食。意大利人 的生活方式也很活跃，他们经常骑自行车或步行，大部分在城市地区。此外，他们通常用水 果来满足爱吃甜食的人，而不是甜点。)”可知本段内容讲述了意大利人健康的饮食习惯与生 活方式，他们虽然吃高脂肪的食物，但是会控制吃的量，并且吃完以后还会进行一些消耗运 动，所以可推知他们并不在意高脂肪食物中的卡路里，由此可推知 regardful 意为“关注，在 意”，故选 A 项。 【15 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cooking at home and avoiding restaurant food are some of the reasons why Italians don't get fat. (在家做饭和不吃餐馆的食物是意大利人不会长胖的部分原 因。)”可知意大利人喜欢在家做饭，不喜欢到饭店吃食物，所以他们不会长胖的原因是很少 到外面吃饭。故选 A 项。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多 余选项.
