第2篇
His own way to express love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities. When I was put on a drip, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woke up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.(344 words)

A. cheerful
B. calm
C. painful
D. bad來源：考試大
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案： D,A,C,B,D
解析：1. D. 問題句問“誰是Andy?” ，利用題干中的特征詞(Andy)作為答案線索， 這樣在文章中找到答案相關(guān)句：
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart(聰明的, 漂亮的) as he is, he is a little bit(有點(diǎn)) shy(害羞的)expressing his love. In contrast(相反), I am an outspoken(坦率直言的) girl who likes to show(表達(dá)) her feelings(情感) directly(直接地). So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
第2段的第1句是答案相關(guān)句， 該句說“Andy不是一個(gè)浪漫的人： 他沒有甜言蜜語， 也沒有玫瑰花” ，借助該句內(nèi)容， 結(jié)合文章標(biāo)題(他自己表達(dá)愛的方式)綜合判斷Andy應(yīng)該是文章作者的男朋友。
2.A.問題句說: “什么時(shí)候作者和Andy相愛的?” 被選項(xiàng)都涉及到具體的時(shí)間狀語(特征性結(jié)構(gòu)), 因此可分別利用它們作為答案線索在文章中查找與這些被選項(xiàng)呼應(yīng)的句子, 對(duì)被選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行判斷:
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. (該句說“昨天是我們第三周年”， 因此判斷“他們的相愛發(fā)生在至少三年以前”， 因此首先排除B。) .
One cold winter night, I got a high fever(發(fā)高燒). He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities. When I was put on a drip, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woke up. At that moment(時(shí)刻), I found(發(fā)現(xiàn)) love in his sparkling(閃閃發(fā)光的) eyes.該答案相關(guān)句涉及到文章中重要的細(xì)節(jié)信息, 因此推測(cè)該段可能存在考點(diǎn). 該段最后一句(劃線句)說“在那一時(shí)刻(作者生病窩床)， 在他閃閃發(fā)光的眼中我發(fā)現(xiàn)了愛”， 根據(jù)該句判斷此時(shí)可能此時(shí)文章作者和Andy已經(jīng)相愛了。
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
文章倒數(shù)第2段中提到了選項(xiàng)D中的核心詞“爭(zhēng)吵”， 但是該段中根本沒有“l(fā)ove”這樣的字眼出現(xiàn), 因此D不是答案。綜合比較A和C，相比之下選擇A更合適些。
3. C. 問題句說“下列哪個(gè)說法與作者的實(shí)際情況一致?”。利用被選項(xiàng)中的細(xì)節(jié)信息(A： romantic guys， B： sweet words; C： express feelings directly;D：roses)作為答案線索，在文章中查找與被選項(xiàng)形成呼應(yīng)的句子，對(duì)被選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行一一判斷：
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken(坦率直言的) girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy(羨慕， 嫉妒) other girls who are surrounded by(被...圍繞) sweet words.
第2段中出現(xiàn)了所有被選項(xiàng)中涉及到的細(xì)節(jié)信息，因此推測(cè)真正答案相關(guān)句應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在該段落中。該段第2個(gè)相關(guān)句(劃線句)說“我是一個(gè)坦率直言的人， 我喜歡直接表達(dá)我的情感”， 該句內(nèi)容與C 一致， 因此C是答案。
4. B. 解析： 選項(xiàng)B與文章標(biāo)題/主題(His own way to express love)一致， 因此B是答案。
提示： 被選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容如果與文章主題一致， 或直接/間接包含文章主題， 則該被選項(xiàng)成為答案選項(xiàng)的可能性較大。
該題涉及文章主題， 文章第3段就是整篇文章的主題句(觀點(diǎn)句):
(第3段)I was in this sullen(悶悶不樂的) mood(心情， 情緒) until(到...為止) I heard(聽到) a beautiful(美麗的) sentence(句子)one day: “someone(某人, 有人) does not love you in the way(方式, 道路) you like, it does not mean(意味著) that he does not love you.” This simple(簡(jiǎn)單的) but sensible(有哲理的, 明智的) sentence made me think about(考慮) our happy(快樂的) days and recall(回憶) his deep(深切的, 深?yuàn)W的, 深的) concern(關(guān)懷, 關(guān)心, 關(guān)心的事情) for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities. When I was put on a drip, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woke up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.
Another time(另一次), I had a bad quarrel with(與.. 爭(zhēng)吵) my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about(擔(dān)心) my health like my father, understand(理解) me like my mother and helps(幫助) me like my elder brother.(概括句)
第3段說“我一直悶悶不樂， 直到有一天我聽到了一句動(dòng)人的話語： 他愛你的方式可能你不喜歡， 但這并不意味著他不愛你， 這句簡(jiǎn)單而有哲理的話語使我想起我們快樂的時(shí)光， 回憶起他對(duì)我深切的關(guān)懷?！痹摱伟凳続ndy有自己表達(dá)愛的方式。接下來作者例舉了兩個(gè)具體的例子以論證他(Andy)表達(dá)愛的方式很特別。 文章最后一句是概括總結(jié)句， 該句再次暗示文章作者的男朋友擁有自己獨(dú)特的表達(dá)愛的方式。
考點(diǎn)： 考察文章主題。
5. D. 解析： 問題句說“哪個(gè)被選項(xiàng)是第3段中sullen的替代詞?”。該題可以直接通過查字典確認(rèn)sullen的詞義為“悶悶不樂的”， D的含義最接近， 因此D是答案。

第3篇
The Street Violinist
I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and nervous. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to declare myself. One morning I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
The fist notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest. Then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in turn. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tossed a penny into my hat as though getting out of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truths of the trade by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money -- the sight could discourage the patron. Nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular ritual, making sure between tunes, to hide most of the earnings, but always leaving two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shopgirls, typists and barmaids. As for the man, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But never a man with a gentleman's hat, briefcase or dog. Respectable types were the meanest of all. Except for retired army officers, who would yell " why aren't you working, young man?" and then toss some money into the hat to hide their confusion.
1. How long did the author wander about in the streets before he stopped under a bridge?
A) a day.
B) an hour.
C) all morning.
D) all afternoon.
2. The first time the author played the violin in the street, he expected
A) he would became a great musician.
B) he would get into trouble.
C) people would be happy to give him money.
D) people would stop and listen.
3. The first person who gave him money
A) was an old lady.
B) stopped and listened for a while.
C) dropped the money by mistakes.
D) didn't want to be noticed.
4. According to the author, what is the best way to encourage people to give a street violinist money?
A) To wear an attractive hat.
B) To fill up the hat with money.
C) To leave a couple of pennies in the hat.
D) To empty the hat completely.
5. The retired army officers gave him money
A) to show they were most generous.
B) to show they were most respectable.
C)to hide their confusion.
D) to show they were rich.
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案： B,A,D,C,Chttp://ks.examda.com
解析：1. B。 答案相關(guān)句在第一段的第2句：I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime,我轉(zhuǎn)悠了一個(gè)小時(shí)， 尋找著一個(gè)合適的地方， 頗有去作案的感覺。About在句子中是副詞， 表示“在周圍”。
2 A。 第3段說“To my surprise I was neither arrested not told to shut up.”令我驚訝的是既有人逮捕我也沒有人不讓我演奏。 可見作者開始拉小提琴時(shí)想到了可能會(huì)遇到某種麻煩， 因此A是正確答案。
3. D。 第3段最后一句說“Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tosses a penny into my hat as though getting rid of some guilty evidence”然后來了一個(gè)老人， 沒有停下來就偷偷地往我的帽子里仍了一個(gè)便士， 就像要扔掉犯罪的證據(jù)一般。因此判斷D是正確答案。
4. C。 第4段最后依據(jù)中的but always leaving too pennies behind是關(guān)鍵， 說明在帽子里留少量的錢才是讓人們給錢的好辦法。 因此C是正確答案。
5. C。與此題相關(guān)的是文章最后一句話中的“then over-tip to hide their confusion”然后， 多給些錢來掩飾他們的困惑。 此題中用cover up替代了 hide。
第四部分：閱讀理解(每題3分，共45分)

His own way to express love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案： D,A,C,B,D
解析：1. D. 問題句問“誰是Andy?” ，利用題干中的特征詞(Andy)作為答案線索， 這樣在文章中找到答案相關(guān)句：
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart(聰明的, 漂亮的) as he is, he is a little bit(有點(diǎn)) shy(害羞的)expressing his love. In contrast(相反), I am an outspoken(坦率直言的) girl who likes to show(表達(dá)) her feelings(情感) directly(直接地). So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
第2段的第1句是答案相關(guān)句， 該句說“Andy不是一個(gè)浪漫的人： 他沒有甜言蜜語， 也沒有玫瑰花” ，借助該句內(nèi)容， 結(jié)合文章標(biāo)題(他自己表達(dá)愛的方式)綜合判斷Andy應(yīng)該是文章作者的男朋友。
2.A.問題句說: “什么時(shí)候作者和Andy相愛的?” 被選項(xiàng)都涉及到具體的時(shí)間狀語(特征性結(jié)構(gòu)), 因此可分別利用它們作為答案線索在文章中查找與這些被選項(xiàng)呼應(yīng)的句子, 對(duì)被選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行判斷:
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. (該句說“昨天是我們第三周年”， 因此判斷“他們的相愛發(fā)生在至少三年以前”， 因此首先排除B。) .
One cold winter night, I got a high fever(發(fā)高燒). He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities. When I was put on a drip, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woke up. At that moment(時(shí)刻), I found(發(fā)現(xiàn)) love in his sparkling(閃閃發(fā)光的) eyes.該答案相關(guān)句涉及到文章中重要的細(xì)節(jié)信息, 因此推測(cè)該段可能存在考點(diǎn). 該段最后一句(劃線句)說“在那一時(shí)刻(作者生病窩床)， 在他閃閃發(fā)光的眼中我發(fā)現(xiàn)了愛”， 根據(jù)該句判斷此時(shí)可能此時(shí)文章作者和Andy已經(jīng)相愛了。
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
文章倒數(shù)第2段中提到了選項(xiàng)D中的核心詞“爭(zhēng)吵”， 但是該段中根本沒有“l(fā)ove”這樣的字眼出現(xiàn), 因此D不是答案。綜合比較A和C，相比之下選擇A更合適些。
3. C. 問題句說“下列哪個(gè)說法與作者的實(shí)際情況一致?”。利用被選項(xiàng)中的細(xì)節(jié)信息(A： romantic guys， B： sweet words; C： express feelings directly;D：roses)作為答案線索，在文章中查找與被選項(xiàng)形成呼應(yīng)的句子，對(duì)被選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行一一判斷：
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken(坦率直言的) girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy(羨慕， 嫉妒) other girls who are surrounded by(被...圍繞) sweet words.
第2段中出現(xiàn)了所有被選項(xiàng)中涉及到的細(xì)節(jié)信息，因此推測(cè)真正答案相關(guān)句應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在該段落中。該段第2個(gè)相關(guān)句(劃線句)說“我是一個(gè)坦率直言的人， 我喜歡直接表達(dá)我的情感”， 該句內(nèi)容與C 一致， 因此C是答案。
4. B. 解析： 選項(xiàng)B與文章標(biāo)題/主題(His own way to express love)一致， 因此B是答案。
提示： 被選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容如果與文章主題一致， 或直接/間接包含文章主題， 則該被選項(xiàng)成為答案選項(xiàng)的可能性較大。
該題涉及文章主題， 文章第3段就是整篇文章的主題句(觀點(diǎn)句):
(第3段)I was in this sullen(悶悶不樂的) mood(心情， 情緒) until(到...為止) I heard(聽到) a beautiful(美麗的) sentence(句子)one day: “someone(某人, 有人) does not love you in the way(方式, 道路) you like, it does not mean(意味著) that he does not love you.” This simple(簡(jiǎn)單的) but sensible(有哲理的, 明智的) sentence made me think about(考慮) our happy(快樂的) days and recall(回憶) his deep(深切的, 深?yuàn)W的, 深的) concern(關(guān)懷, 關(guān)心, 關(guān)心的事情) for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities. When I was put on a drip, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woke up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.
Another time(另一次), I had a bad quarrel with(與.. 爭(zhēng)吵) my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about(擔(dān)心) my health like my father, understand(理解) me like my mother and helps(幫助) me like my elder brother.(概括句)
第3段說“我一直悶悶不樂， 直到有一天我聽到了一句動(dòng)人的話語： 他愛你的方式可能你不喜歡， 但這并不意味著他不愛你， 這句簡(jiǎn)單而有哲理的話語使我想起我們快樂的時(shí)光， 回憶起他對(duì)我深切的關(guān)懷?！痹摱伟凳続ndy有自己表達(dá)愛的方式。接下來作者例舉了兩個(gè)具體的例子以論證他(Andy)表達(dá)愛的方式很特別。 文章最后一句是概括總結(jié)句， 該句再次暗示文章作者的男朋友擁有自己獨(dú)特的表達(dá)愛的方式。
考點(diǎn)： 考察文章主題。
5. D. 解析： 問題句說“哪個(gè)被選項(xiàng)是第3段中sullen的替代詞?”。該題可以直接通過查字典確認(rèn)sullen的詞義為“悶悶不樂的”， D的含義最接近， 因此D是答案。

第3篇
The Street Violinist
I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and nervous. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to declare myself. One morning I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
The fist notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest. Then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in turn. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tossed a penny into my hat as though getting out of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truths of the trade by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money -- the sight could discourage the patron. Nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular ritual, making sure between tunes, to hide most of the earnings, but always leaving two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shopgirls, typists and barmaids. As for the man, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But never a man with a gentleman's hat, briefcase or dog. Respectable types were the meanest of all. Except for retired army officers, who would yell " why aren't you working, young man?" and then toss some money into the hat to hide their confusion.
1. How long did the author wander about in the streets before he stopped under a bridge?
A) a day.
B) an hour.
C) all morning.
D) all afternoon.
2. The first time the author played the violin in the street, he expected
A) he would became a great musician.
B) he would get into trouble.
C) people would be happy to give him money.
D) people would stop and listen.
3. The first person who gave him money
A) was an old lady.
B) stopped and listened for a while.
C) dropped the money by mistakes.
D) didn't want to be noticed.
4. According to the author, what is the best way to encourage people to give a street violinist money?
A) To wear an attractive hat.
B) To fill up the hat with money.
C) To leave a couple of pennies in the hat.
D) To empty the hat completely.
5. The retired army officers gave him money
A) to show they were most generous.
B) to show they were most respectable.
C)to hide their confusion.
D) to show they were rich.
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案： B,A,D,C,Chttp://ks.examda.com
解析：1. B。 答案相關(guān)句在第一段的第2句：I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime,我轉(zhuǎn)悠了一個(gè)小時(shí)， 尋找著一個(gè)合適的地方， 頗有去作案的感覺。About在句子中是副詞， 表示“在周圍”。
2 A。 第3段說“To my surprise I was neither arrested not told to shut up.”令我驚訝的是既有人逮捕我也沒有人不讓我演奏。 可見作者開始拉小提琴時(shí)想到了可能會(huì)遇到某種麻煩， 因此A是正確答案。
3. D。 第3段最后一句說“Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tosses a penny into my hat as though getting rid of some guilty evidence”然后來了一個(gè)老人， 沒有停下來就偷偷地往我的帽子里仍了一個(gè)便士， 就像要扔掉犯罪的證據(jù)一般。因此判斷D是正確答案。
4. C。 第4段最后依據(jù)中的but always leaving too pennies behind是關(guān)鍵， 說明在帽子里留少量的錢才是讓人們給錢的好辦法。 因此C是正確答案。
5. C。與此題相關(guān)的是文章最后一句話中的“then over-tip to hide their confusion”然后， 多給些錢來掩飾他們的困惑。 此題中用cover up替代了 hide。
