To the book lovers, nothing beats walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking large heavy books up and turning them over, the smell of ink on paper, conversations with strangers about authors. With the coming of the online book buying and e-books, many have predicted(预测) that the bookstores will disappear. And we’re grateful that there are plenty of beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
Designed for Max Glucksmann, a pioneer of the music and film industries, this wonderful theater space was opened in 1919. The former theater now serves as a flagship store; more than 1 million people visit El Ateneo Grand Splendid every year.
The Book Barge
The Book Barge is a 60-foot canal boat bookshop. Inspired by the Slow Food movement, the operator Sarah Henshaw says, “We hope to help develop a less hurried lifestyle of leisurely (慢悠悠的) pleasures, cups of tea, conversations, culture and something like these.”
Selexyz Dominicanen
For those who regard bookstores with great respect, welcome to Selexyz Dominicanen, which now offers many kinds of books. The big space was used to store bicycles not long ago. But then the building was given interior (内部的) decoration, and the result is really a great surprise.
La Caverne aux Livres
Few things make as romantic a pairing as books and trains. At La Caverne aux Livres in Auvers-sur-Oise, northwestern of Paris, an old postal train station and several train cars have become home to used books for sale. Visitors often spend hours looking at them, surrounded by an atmosphere (氛围) of old letters and dreams of faraway places.

推理判断题。根据第1段To the book lovers, nothing beats walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking large heavy books up and turning them over, the smell of ink on paper, conversations with strangers about authors可知,对于爱书的人来说,没有什么比在书店里逛一逛,看看所有的封面,捡起又大又重的书,把它们翻过来,闻纸上的墨水味,和陌生人谈论作者的话题更能打动他们了。由此判断出爱书之人关心的是在书店的体验。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第2家书店The Book Barge的介绍:We hope to help develop a less hurried lifestyle of leisurely (慢悠悠的) pleasures, cups of tea, conversations, culture and something like these可知,他们希望形成的是一个不那么匆忙的生活方式。所以The Book Barge鼓励慢节奏的生活方式。故选C 项。

B
A big challenge facing children who are seriously ill is keeping up with schoolwork. One mom’s high-tech solution: having kids being treated in hospital attend classes via robots (the robot’s screen displays a live video to feed the child’s need), allowing them to almost join in discussions, go on field trips, and generally feel connected.
After Leslie Morissette lost her son, Graham, to cancer of the blood in 1997, she honored him by founding Grahamtastic Connection, a non-profit organization that provides free electronic equipment for other sick kids. Since its foundation she’s helped over 1,600 kids. “He was really into communication and keeping in touch, always asking the doctors and nurses for their e-mail addresses,” she says.
Though Leslie was an art director for 12 years and ran Grahamtastic Connection on the side, she now puts her mind into her organization full-time. Offering sick children free technology ―whether it’s a robot, an iPad, a laptop, or Internet access ―helps first and best with education.
“When a child is in hospital, parents want to do anything to allow him or her some normalcy (常态),” she says. “We connect kids to their normal world when it’s out of reach.” Some kids who have missed an entire school year can now go by robot and actually pass onto the next grade level without stepping foot inside the building. The equally important thing, though, is the social connection. “It stops the feeling of loneliness not just from the classroom, but from friends and family too,” she adds.
4. What problem do children have to do with when in hospital?
A. They may fall behind in learning.
B. They have no friends to play with.
C. They need more money for treatment.
D. They have no chance to go on field trips.
5. For what purpose did Leslie Morissette found Grahamtastic Connection?
A. To cure the sick kids. B. In memory of her son.
C. To communicate with doctors. D. In search of the cause of blood disease.
6. What is Leslie Morissette’s job now?
A She works as an art director.
B. She focuses on preschool education.
C. She devotes herself to helping others.
D. She helps look after patients in hospital.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The story of a strong mom after she lost her son.
B. The report of kids unable to keep up with school.
C. The history of the development of children groups.
D. The introduction of a kind mom and her organization.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段One mom’s high-tech solution: having kids being treated in hospital attend classes via robots (the robot’s screen displays a live video to feed the child’s need), allowing
them to almost join in discussions, go on field trips, and generally feel connected. 根据第二After Leslie Morissette lost her son, Graham, to cancer of the blood in 1997, she honored him by founding Grahamtastic Connection, a non-profit organization that provides free electronic equipment for other sick kids. 段重病儿童面临的一大挑战是如何跟上学业进度。一位妈妈的高科技解决方案是:让在医院接受治疗的孩子通过机器人上课。1997年,莱斯利·莫里塞特的儿子格雷厄姆死于血癌,此后,她创立了格雷厄姆塔斯蒂克联谊会(Grahamtastic Connection),这是一个为其他患病儿童提供免费电子设备的非盈利组织,以此来纪念他。所以这篇课文的主旨是介绍一位善良的母亲和她的组织。故选D。
C
Glancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry. "It’s okay: honey.” I tried to encourage." Come and play with the other children.” But the more I persuaded, the more tears flowed.
Every week for the past eighteen years, I’ve spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason, Nicole saw this as the final kiss of death.
In her mind, she was going to be left all alone with a strange woman and several other children. Uncontrollable tears rapidly started to flow and there wouldn’t be enough tissues in the whole building to mop up the flood.
Tip toeing quickly to the door, I gently called to her father." Just sit in here for a while until she warms up.” I said. Standing next to his first born, Rich took his daughter’s hand and led her to the centre of the room. Slowly he pushed, but again the damn broke. "Daddy, don’t leave me!" Nicole cried. "Don’t make me do this." Bending down on his knees until they were nose-to-nose, Rich gently whispered in her ear, “I’ll do it with you. There’s nothing to be afraid of." Holding her entire young hand around his middle two fingers, the pair went on to skip around the floor.
“Wow!" I cheered. "You deserve a prize. I’ve never seen a dad do that before.”
For a brief second, Rich paused, and then with a smile, he replied, "Isn’t this part of the job?"‘
That wonderful moment was two years ago and I’ve thought of it often, especially when I see how well Nicole performs in class. More importantly, however, I’ve remembered it because it takes me back to my own dance beginnings with my father.
From the moment I was born, music spoke to me. The moment the radio or record player was
turned on, I moved my arms and legs about the room in wild fashion. Most of the time, I was fine to perform alone, but the minute my dad walked into the room, I’d jump into his arms, hug him tight and place my tiny feet on top of his highly shined shoes.
While this memory is sweet, the real reason I hold it dear to my heart is because of what went behind his action. My father was not the most gifted creature on two legs when it came to dancing, but he’d stepped out of his comfort zone(区域)and danced because he knew how much I loved it. For him, helping his only daughter develop, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel, was part of his job.
As a child, my father did what he was told and lived as expected. But when it came to his own children, he allowed us the chance to follow our own path and we were never forced to be like him, live like him or think like him. He provided an environment where my three brothers and I were permitted to explore our own jungle until we found the life that was right for us.
To all the fathers who’ve influenced your children’s lives by stepping out of your comfort zones to dance, whether it is in mind, body or soul--this one’s for you! You give a child the courage to stand on the center stage of life.
8. Why was Nicole so sad at her first dancing class?
A. She was asked to mop up the floor.
B. She had to be left with the strangers.
C. She didn’t like the oversized dress.
D. She was threatened by the older boys.
9. What does the father mean by saying "Isn’t this part of the job?” in Paragraph 6?
A. Dancing with their daughter is a father’s part-time job.
B. It’s a father’s job to force her daughter to learn dancing.
C. Fathers are always there to help their daughter if necessary.
D. Fathers are required to accompany their daughter in dancing classes.
10. What do we know about the author’s father?
A. He was fond of dancing.
B. He liked to make choices for his children.
C. He required his children to follow his path.
D. He tried to live up to his parents’ expectations.
11. Why did the author treasure the memory of dancing with her father when she was a child?
A. It was her father who taught her to dance.
B. Her father encouraged her to dance when she was unwilling to do so.
C. Her father tried to please her although he was not comfortable about dancing.
D. Her father was patient enough when he was dancing with her.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C

D
Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head!” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical(身体的)but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.
12. What is Mehzabin worried about?
A. Her son has no table manners.
B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.
C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.
D. Her son spends much money on games.
13. What do we know about the chronic pain?
A. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.
B. Adults don’t have the problem.
C. It is caused by the wrong body position
D. Children with it often have other diseases.
14. According to health experts, _______.
A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising
B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain
C. people should stop using smart phones
D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. To Play Games Well, Sit Up Straight
B. Too Much Gaming Is A Pain In The Neck
C. How To Avoid The Pain In The Neck
D. How To Be More Fit By Playing Games
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【分析】
本文是说明文。现在流行的一种活动就是玩电子游戏。玩电子游戏太多,颈部会疼痛。Dr. Vanjara博士说最好的治疗疼痛是每天锻炼。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.可知,结果他在六月或七月左右开始脖子疼的厉害,更糟糕的是疼痛逐渐扩散到手和后背,这让妈妈很担忧,可知妈妈担心的是他的身体状况变差,故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices.可知事实证明疼痛是他们在玩手机或其他电子设备游戏时,错误坐姿导致的,很显然慢性疼痛是由错误坐姿导致的。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions.

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的Dr. Vanjara says the pain is not from aging, accidents or disease. It is from poor posture, or body position, while playing video games. Dr. Vanjara说疼痛并不是来自年龄、事故或疾病。它来自玩电子游戏时错误的姿势,或身体的位置。也就是说玩电子游戏太多,颈部会疼痛。故选B。

Wang Peng, a owner of a restaurant, felt frustrated when seeing his restaurant was empty. When his old customer didn’t come into his restaurant, he realized something terrible must happened. He found his old customer entered a new restaurant in where simple food was served. The owner of the restaurant, Yong Hui, promised that she would help customers lose weight and kept fit in two
weeks. Wang Peng decided to do some researches, for he couldn’t have Yong Hui get away with telling a lie. That he found at the library made him feel hopefully and he decided to win back his customers. One day Yong Hui came to his restaurant and talked about the idea to combine her menu in Wang Peng’s. Their business cooperation was so a success that before long they got married.

4.考查动词。根据上文help customers lose weight and可知此处help sb. do sth.,keep也应用动词原形。故kept改为keep。

8.考查形容词。feel为系动词后跟形容词hopeful作表语。故hopefully改为hopeful。
9.考查介词。根据短语combine with表示“与……结合”。故in改为with。
10.考查形容词。修饰后文名词success应用such,so后接形容词。故so改为such。

Dear Sir/Madame,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours sincerely,
Mike
【答案】Dear Sir/Madame,
I am Mike, a British student studying in Ningxia. Knowing from your newspaper that a large number of gulls have chosen the lakes in Yinchuan as their habitats, I am writing to offer some suggestions.
First, I advise we should protect the lakes where the gulls live. Second, it would be a great idea if we don’t spray pesticides on the plants around the lakes. Third, we had better raise people’s awareness of protecting the birds through TV, newspaper and radio.
As a foreigner, I still feel it my responsibility to call on all people to do something for the gulls. I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Mike
