But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone.And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there.But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities：New York，Boston，Los Angeles，San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class—we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities.In my education classes，it was always“urban this”and“urban that”．‎ It was like small town America didn't exist.‎ And this urban interest doesn't just happen in college.I went to an education conference a couple of years ago，and a professor— someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote.I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him.So there we were，five or six of us sitting in a room，and I asked him，“What are your thoughts on the state of education in the ‎ countryside？”And this man was speechless.‎ I'll never forget that moment.It speaks to a larger truth.Towns like mine are forgotten.‎ This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don't want to add to that movement.I want to reverse that movement.‎ Now it's my turn to help people younger than me.And you know what？I'm a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.‎ ‎1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home?‎ A．Secure.　　　　　　 B．Fragile.‎ C．Promising. D．Bright.‎ ‎2．How would the author feel about the professor's reaction?‎ A．It's emotional. B．It's natural.‎ C．It's positive. D．It's disappointing.‎ ‎3．What is the author doing now?‎ A．Teaching in a college.‎ B．Fighting for the movement.‎ C．Working with the professor.‎ D．Devoting himself to his hometown.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文作者通过自己的大学生活经历以及在一次教育会议上与一位教授进行交流的故事说明了美国的乡村正在逐渐被人遗忘的现象，作者也由此决定帮助乡村中的年轻人。‎ ‎1．解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Leave your small town and make something of yourself.Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.”‎ 可知，在美国的乡村，年轻人的就业前景并不稳定，成功和机会都在别处。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎2．解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I'll never forget that moment.It speaks to a larger truth.Towns like mine are forgotten.”可知，作者在教授对于自己提出的有关乡村的问题无言以对时，意识到像自己家乡那样的乡村被人们遗忘了。由此可推知，作者对此感到失望。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎3．解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After graduating from a high school in Helena”可知，作者的家乡在海伦娜，再根据最后一段“Now it's my turn to help people younger than me.And you know what？I'm a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.”可知，作者现在在家乡教书，帮助家乡中的年轻人，为家乡做贡献。故选D项。‎ 答案：D B It is 7 am on a gray Thursday，and I am on the telephone to a group of strangers struggling with excited laughter.There must be 20 of them—men and women，young and old—laughing.These people have never met，nor do they know each other's names.Yet for 40 minutes，five mornings a week，they simply pick up the phone and laugh.‎ This is the“laughter line”，part of the growing industry in laughter treatment，Britain's latest and most unusual treatment.The simple act of laughing is increasingly being used as a method for dealing with mental and physical disorders.Since it was founded in 2004，the UK Laughter Network has increased ten times，training 8，‎ ‎000 people to use laughter to improve their health.‎ So how does it work? It reduces stress.A Maryland study found that laughing expands the inner lining of our blood vessels(血管)and so improves circulation，“Your immune system is strengthened by up to 40 percent，” explains laughter therapist Julie Whitehead，whose work includes training those who work at Great Ormond Street Hospital.Laughter has also been shown to lower blood pressure and improve mental function.‎ But Lotte Mikkelsen，45，a laughter therapist，warns that it's important to see it as a method of treatment—not a cure.“In 2008，I was diagnosed (诊断)with an incurable disease，”she explains.“My sister died at the age of 32 from it，so I know what could happen.Since I started laughing，I haven't had any worsening and my health is great.I'd never say laughter is a cure—but it can help.”‎ ‎4．How does the UK Laughter Network help people?‎ A．By involving them in effective communication.‎ B．By inspiring them to realize their dreams.‎ C．By providing them with free medicine.‎ D．By training them to use laughter.‎ ‎5．What can we learn from Lotte Mikkelsen's words in the last paragraph?‎ A．She believes laughter is helpful for her condition.‎ B．She thinks of laughter as a cure for her disease.‎ C．She has recovered from her illness.‎ D．She regrets not teaching her sister laughter treatment.‎ ‎6．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Laughter Makes You More Popular B．Why Do People Seldom Laugh in Life?‎ C．Laughter Is the Best Medicine D．How Did a Laughter Line Come into Being?‎ ‎【语篇解读】　笑声被越来越多地用来治疗人们的身心健康，而且颇有成效。虽然大笑有益于健康，但它并不是一种疗法。‎ ‎4．解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since it was founded in 2004，the UK Laughter Network has increased ten times，training 8，000 people to use laughter to improve their health.”可知，该机构通过培训人们用笑来改善健康，故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎5．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Since I started laughing，I haven't had any worsening and my health is great.I'd never say laughter is a cure—but it call help.”可知，洛特认为大笑对她的疾病有帮助，故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎6．解析：主旨大意题。综观全文可知，笑声疗法对身体健康很有帮助，以“笑是最佳良药”为本文标题，符合文章主旨，故选C项。‎ 答案：C Ⅱ.完形填空 If your home were on fire，what would you try to save？Our area was just a few miles from the largest wildfire in Colorado's history.On getting the call to evacuate(疏散)，we had to consider what we couldn't live without， 1 whatever we could save and leaving immediately.‎ We 2 suitcases with necessary clothes.We took the 3 we worked with.We took financial records—who wants to 4 himself with the ‎ government over 5 documents? Now，what else? We seized the valuable family 6 from the walls，which couldn't be replaced.‎ Then we took a hard look at all that 7 ．A lamp that 8 my great grandmother.A 9 my wife learned to play as a kid.A large tent for which we spent months 10 money for camping.Bedroom furniture we wanted to pass down to our 11 some day.The gifts that decorated our house from our treasured friends.These things 12 our love as a family and friends.It was 13 to move everything from our home. 14 at all that we might lose，I found it difficult to say goodbye，But 15 ，I felt warm.‎ We were 16 with memories as we 17 at these items.Each had stories to tell just like the photos.They told about where we'd been，where we 18 were and where we were going.They were 19 of those people we loved and who loved us.Now I didn't think my“things”meant that much to me.Indeed，the spirit of them was all that truly 20 ．‎ ‎1．A.covering B．removing C．collecting D．spotting ‎2．A.carried B．piled C．supplied D．packed ‎3．A.cars B．computers C．books D．food ‎4．A.enjoy B．entertain C．bother D．force ‎5．A.extra B．regular C．useless D．missing ‎6．A.pictures B．televisions C．decorations D．chargers ‎7．A.abandoned B．remained C．burned D．kept ‎8．A.belonged to B．adapted to C．related to D．appealed to ‎9．A.doll B．radio C．sport D．piano ‎10．A.borrowing B．saving C．paying D．lending ‎11．A.children B．friends C．colleagues D．relatives ‎12．A.inspired B．measured C．represented D．expressed ‎13．A.unbelievable B．impractical C．inconvenient D．unnecessary ‎14．A.Looking up B．Looking around C．Looking forward D．Looking out ‎15．A.roughly B．casually C．strangely D．curiously ‎16．A.flooded B．impressed C．surrounded D．satisfied ‎17．A.wondered B．glanced C．glared D．stared ‎18．A.normally B．frequently C．suddenly D．presently ‎19．A.signals B．signs C．symbols D．lessons ‎20．A.mattered B．proved C．lasted D．changed ‎【语篇解读】　本文记叙了作者一家的一次疏散经历。由于疏散过程中只能随身携带一些必需物品，对于那些无法带走的回忆，作者很伤感。但这样的经历让作者明白有些东西只是身外之物，生命中有人爱你，你也爱着他们，这才是最重要的。‎ ‎1．解析：根据设空处前的“On getting the call to evacuate，we had to consider what we couldn't live without”和设空处后的“whatever we could save and leaving immediately”可知，当作者一家接到紧急疏散的通知时，他们必须要考虑清楚哪些是必须带走的，然后整理好这些物品并尽快离开。collect意为“收集；使集中”，符合语境。cover意为“覆盖；报道”；remove意为“移走”；spot意为“认出”。‎ 答案：C ‎2．解析：根据空后的“suitcases with necessary clothes”可知，此处是指打包行李。pack意为“把……打包；把……装箱”，符合语境。carry意为“拿；运送”；pile意为“堆放”；supply意为“供给”。‎ 答案：D ‎3．解析：根据设空处后的“we worked with”可知，此处是指办公物品。computer意为“电脑”，符合语境。‎ 答案：B ‎4．解析：根据空前的“We took financial records”和空后的“himself with the government”以及常识可知，把财务报表带走是为了避免补办过程中需要和政府部门打交道的麻烦。bother意为“费心；因……‎ 操心”，符合语境。enjoy意为“享受”；entertain意为“款待；使快乐”；force意为“促使；强迫”。‎ 答案：C ‎5．解析：根据上下文语境可知，此处的问句“...who wants to himself with the government over documents？”是对不带走财务报表的后果的反问，由此可知此处指遗失的文件。missing意为“丢失的”，符合语境。extra意为“额外的”；regular意为“有规律的”；useless意为“无用的”。‎ 答案：D ‎6．解析：根据设空处后的“from the walls，which couldn't be replaced”可知，从墙上取下来的而且是无法替代的应该是珍贵的全家福。picture意为“照片；图片”，符合语境。television意为“电视”；decoration意为“装饰物”；charger意为“充电器”。‎ 答案：A ‎7．解析：根据空前的“we took a hard look”及后文提到的一些物品可知，此处指作者一家认真地看着那些被留下、无法带走的东西。remain意为“留下”，符合语境。abandon意为“遗弃”；burn意为“燃烧；烧毁”；keep意为“保持”。‎ 答案：B ‎8．解析：空前的“lamp”和后面的“my great grandmother”是所属关系。belong to意为“属于”，符合语境。adapt to意为“(使)适应”；relate to意为“与……有关系”；appeal to意为“呼吁；要求”。‎ 答案：A ‎9．解析：根据空后的“my wife learned to play as a child”可知，此处指作者妻子小时候学习演奏的钢琴。piano意为“钢琴”，符合语境。‎ doll意为“玩偶”；radio意为“收音机”；sport意为“运动”。‎ 答案：D ‎10．解析：根据此处语境可知，作者无法带走的还有一个大帐篷，这是他们省了几个月的钱买来露营用的。save意为“节省，储蓄”，符合语境。borrow意为“借”；pay意为“支付”；lend意为“借给”。‎ 答案：B ‎11．解析：根据空前的“pass down”可知，作者是想未来某一天把家具传给自己的后代。child意为“孩子”，符合语境。friend意为“朋友”；colleague意为“同事；同僚”；relative意为“亲戚；亲属”。‎ 答案：A ‎12．解析：根据上文中的“The gifts that decorated our house from our treasured friends.”可知，作者在本段提到的这些物品，对作者及家人来说有着重要的意义，因为它们代表着爱。represent意为“代表”，符合语境。inspire意为“鼓舞”；measure意为“测量”；express意为“表达”。‎ 答案：C ‎13．解析：根据常识可知，在紧急疏散的情况下，带上所有的东西是不可能、不现实的。impractical意为“不现实的；不切实际的”，符合语境。unbelievable意为“难以置信的”；inconvenient意为“不方便的”；unnecessary意为“不必要的；多余的”。‎ 答案：B ‎14．解析：根据上文中的“we took a hard look”和空后的“I found it difficult to say goodbye”可知，作者很珍惜那些有纪念意义的东西，对它们依依不舍，因此在离开之前会再多看看这些无法带走的承载回忆的物品。look around意为“四下观望”，符合语境。look up意为“‎ 仰望；查阅”；look forward意为“期待”；look out意为“当心”。‎ 答案：B ‎15．解析：根据上文叙述的内容可知，作者不愿向那些美好的回忆告别，但下文又说自己感觉很温暖，这样的情感有些奇怪。strangely意为“奇怪地”，符合语境。roughly意为“粗鲁地；粗略地”；casually意为“随便地”；curiously意为“好奇地”。‎ 答案：C ‎16．解析：根据文章内容可知，作者提到的这些物品都有着特殊的意义，所以会让作者及其家人想到曾经美好的回忆。be flooded with意为“大量涌入”，符合语境。be impressed with意为“对……印象深刻”；be surrounded with意为“和……在一起”；be satisfied with意为“对……满意”。‎ 答案：A ‎17．解析：句意为：当我们盯着这些物品时，回忆不断涌入(我们的脑海)。stare at意为“凝视，盯住”，符合语境。wonder at意为“对……感到惊讶”；glance at意为“瞥一眼”；glare at意为“怒视”。‎ 答案：D ‎18．解析：空前提到的是过去，空后提到的是未来，因此此处应该描述现在。presently意为“目前；现在”，符合语境。normally意为“正常地”；frequently意为“频繁地”；suddenly意为“突然”。‎ 答案：D ‎19．解析：根据上文中的“Each had stories to tell just like the photos”可知，此处指这些物件代表着爱我们和我们所爱的人，因此它们是爱的体现和象征。symbol意为“象征”，符合语境。signal意为“信号”；sign意为“迹象；符号”；lesson意为“课程”。‎ 答案：C ‎20．解析：根据前文内容可知，现在作者认为那些“身外之物”对自己来说意义已经没有那么大了，真正重要的是它们的精神和爱。matter意为“有关系；要紧”，符合语境。prove意为“证明”；last意为“持续”；change意为“改变”。‎ 答案：A
