I was a recent graduate of a leading business school and I was to join a big company in Gomia, Bihar. The company chose only the best, and I was full of it.
The night train from Calcutta would reach Gomia in the morning. I had a letter that said there would be a car to pick me up from the station and take me to the Guest House. However, I found no person in sight to receive me when I got off the train. I felt let down. I carried the luggage on my shoulder and came to the exit. There I saw a nice car. The driver was walking towards the car .Ah, my driver, there he was!
I went up to him and asked him to carry my luggage. He asked me who I was and I introduced myself. The driver opened the back door and had me seated. Along the way, he asked me some questions about me and my family. I was angry with the driver who asked too much and answered him in monosyllables (只言片语). After reaching the Guest House, we said goodbye.
The next day was a big day. I was to meet the boss of the place, Dr. S. K. Kamat, and I was nervous. I knocked on the door and walked into the large office. The big man had his back to me and as he turned, I recognized the man immediately. He was the driver!
He gave me a broad smile and said he was S. K. Kamat. I could have died at that moment. I apologized for my behavior and was at a loss for words.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
8. What do we know about math anxiety
A. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
9. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply
A Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
C. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
D. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
10. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Practice more before you take math exams.
B. Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Ask cognitive experts for help.
D. Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
11. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.
C. To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
D. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了数学焦虑以及缓解的方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study.(剑桥大学的一项研究表明,数学焦虑——一种对核心学科的负面情绪反应——会导致年轻学生的恐惧、身体痛苦和行为问题)”可知,数学焦虑会在精神和身体上引起不愉快的症状,故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,’ Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.(“如果一个孩子有数学焦虑,不要认为他们不擅长数学。他们可能有过非常糟糕的数学经历,但有一些方法可以提高数学成绩”,该研究的资深作者Daniel Ansari在接受《伦敦自由出版社》采访时表示)”可知,Daniel Ansari的研究表明,数学焦虑并不反映解决数学问题的能力,故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. ‘It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,’ Sian Beilock…(如果你在数学考试前感到有压力,在考试开始前花几分钟探究这些感觉可能会有帮助。“这是为了确保你正确地理解自己的感受”,Sian Beilock说)”可知,如果你有关于数学的压力,你应该学会理解自己的感受,故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段首句“Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are.(不管你有多聪明,数学都不容易学)”提到,不管你有多聪明,数学学起来都不容易,接着文章举了达·芬奇的例子,达·芬奇是数学的狂热爱好者,但他不会做分数,以此来支撑上述观点,说明学习数学不容易。故选A项。
D
Listen carefully. Don’t answer too quickly. At least, don’t say “yes” too soon. A friend might ask, “Want to take a hike ” You should say, “Where ” If he replies “The entire Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚国家步道)”,take warning. Here’s why.
The trail is one of the longest marked footpaths in the world. It starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia. It winds (蜿蜒) along the top of the mountains. It goes through 14 states. It ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine. As the crow(乌鸦)flies, this is about 2,200 miles. But when walked, the trail is 2,600 miles. If you walk nonstop, it takes about six months to walk through the trail.
Most hikers begin from Springer Mountain. They start around April 1. This is why. The snow has probably melted (融化) in the south. But there may still be snow in the north. By the time they reach Maine, the snow will have been long gone. What’s the chance of making it nonstop Here is the data. About 1,500 people try it each year. About 300 people make it. It is a great challenge.
Careful planning is necessary. There are problems to solve. The biggest one is the weight on one’s back. Too many hikers start out with too much. Wise ones don’t carry food. They send packages to post offices along the way. There are no campfires allowed. Some shelters are near the path. But the trail is crowded. It is hard to find space. A perfect tent is necessary. And it rains a lot. Great rain gear (用具) is needed. It should be light.
Benton MacKaye founded the trail. The first section of the trail was opened in 1923. It is cared for by volunteers in each state. Do you plan to go Read lots of books by people who’ve done it.
12. What is the example of the crow in Paragraph 2 used to show
A. The trail’s view. B. The trail’s height.
C. The trail’s danger. D. The trail’s distance.
13. What can we know about the Appalachian Trail
A. Only about one fifth of the hikers succeed in hiking every year.
B. Most hikers spend a whole year hiking the trail.
C. It goes through 14 mountains in all.
D. It is about 2,200 miles long.
14. What does the author advise hikers to do
A. Carry enough water and food. B. Wear heavy and warm clothing.
C. Bring enough maps and equipment. D. Send packages along the way ahead of time.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Advice on hiking B. Dangers of hiking
C. Go hiking on the Appalachian Trail D. Introduction of great mountains
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上最长的徒步旅行步道之一——阿巴拉契亚国家步道。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It goes through 14 states. It ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine. As the crow (乌鸦) flies, this is about 2,200 miles. But when walked, the trail is 2,600 miles.(它经过14个州。它的终点是缅因州的卡塔丁山。乌鸦直线飞行距离约为2200英里。但如果步行的话,这条路长达2600英里。)”可推知,作者用乌鸦直线飞行距离的例子来表示阿巴拉契亚国家步道距离的长。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“About 1,500 people try it each year. About 300 people make it. It is a great challenge.(每年大约有1500人尝试。大约有300人成功了。这是一个巨大的挑战。)”可知,每年只有大约五分之一的徒步旅行者成功。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Wise ones don’t carry food. They send packages to post offices along the way. (聪明的人不带食物。他们把包裹送到沿途的邮局。)”可知,作者建议把行李寄到沿途的邮局。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章最后一段中“Do you plan to go Read lots of books by people who’ve done it.(你打算去吗 去读成功的人写的书吧。)”可知,本文主要介绍了阿巴拉契亚国家步道的信息,并给徒步旅行提出一些建议,因此“Go hiking on the Appalachian Trail (去阿巴拉契亚山道徒步旅行)”是最佳标题。故选C。
二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)
How to deal with your homework
Write it down. ____16____ Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.
Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your home work. ____17____ It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.
Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute. ____18____ The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of (一堆) homework the next day.
____19____ Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.
Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study. ____20____
A. Use your time wisely.

【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,作者旨在给读者就如何写作业提出了建议。
16题详解】
前文“Write it down.”(写下作业。)和后文“Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.”(一定要把所有的作业都写下来,这样你就不会忘记任何东西。)可推测登记作业需要使用到一个笔记本,把作业都记在笔记本上,选项G意思为“使用作业笔记本记录所有作业。”,符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
前文“Create a homework station.”(创建作业站。)告诉读者要为写作业制造一个独立的空间;后文“It will take twice as long to get the homework done.”(完成作业需要两倍的时间。)可知代词it指代的应该是影响写作业效率的场所。在电视机面前写作业可想而知,效率不高,选项E意为“不要在电视剧面前写作业”符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
前文本段主旨句“Do homework as early as possible.”(尽可能快去写作业。)可知本段主要说明写作业的时间安排要尽早。选项B意为“你一回家立马做作业。”符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
后文“Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject.”(想想你要花多长时间才能完成每个科目的家庭作业。)可知本段讲述的是各科时间分配问题。选项A意为“明智地使用时间。”符合语境,可作第四段的主题句。故选A项。
【20题详解】
前文“You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping.”(坐着完成一两个小时的作业而不停下来,你很容易感到疲劳。)指出做作业时不休息容易疲劳,不太好。即意味着作者建议写作业的建议也需要休息,需要劳逸结合。选项F意为“短暂休息后,回来完成剩余的作业。”符合语境。故选F项。

【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意:10月12日对我和我的团队来说是一个重要的日子。day是可数名词,此处表泛指,前面需加不定冠词,big是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故在big前加a。
2.考查时态。句意:我们参加了兰开斯特郡高年级学生的篮球锦标赛。通篇时态是一般过去时,因此应用过去式took,故将take改为took。
3.考查人称代词。句意:有些运动员因为要参加考试而缺席。主语是Some players,因此应用they指代,故将he改为they。
4.考查定语从句。句意:我们的对手是去年的冠军球队。The team后是定语从句,从句中应用关系代词作played against的宾语,team是物,因此关系代词用that/which,故将what改为that/which。
5.考查副词。句意:作为一名前锋,我打得很努力。根据语境可知,句子表示“作为一名前锋,我打得很努力”,“努力地”是hard,而hardly的意思是“几乎不”,故将hardly改为hard。
6.考查比较级。句意:后来,我的精力比以前少了,因为摔倒受伤了。后面有than,因此little应用比较级less。故将little改为less。
7.考查固定短语。句意:后来,我的精力比以前少了,因为摔倒受伤了。because后跟句子,而because of后跟名词或名词性短语,I fell down是句子,因此应用because来引导原因状语从句,故去掉because of中的of。
8.考查连词。句意:然后,在暂停的时候,教练告诉我们要“用努力和智慧打球”。根据语境可知,句子表示“用努力和智慧打球”,effort和wisdom是并列关系,应用and连接,故将but改为and。
9.考查不定式。句意:然后,我保存我的力量,并寻找好的机会,以进球。chance后应用不定式作后置定语,故将scoring改为score。
10.考查名词的复数。句意:最后,我又得了4分,被评为“最有价值球员”。point“分数”,是可数名词,由four可知,point应用复数,故将point改为points。

【答案】Dear Rebecca,
I’m worried when receiving your letter saying that you’re suffering from a tense relationship with your parents. Here is my personal advice on how to improve it.
Firstly, you’d better talk to your parents regularly, explaining your actions and feelings calmly, listening carefully and addressing their concerns. Besides, when you can’t see eye to eye with them, remember to put yourself in your parents’ shoes, which will help you understand the situation from their point of view.

I was a recent graduate of a leading business school and I was to join a big company in Gomia, Bihar. The company chose only the best, and I was full of it.
The night train from Calcutta would reach Gomia in the morning. I had a letter that said there would be a car to pick me up from the station and take me to the Guest House. However I found no person in sight to receive me when I got off the train. I felt let down. I carried the luggage on my shoulder and came to the exit. There I saw a nice car. The driver was walking towards the car .Ah, my driver, there he was!
I went up to him and asked him to carry my luggage. He asked me who I was and I introduced myself. The driver opened the back door and had me seated. Along the way, he asked me some questions about me and my family. I was angry with the driver who asked too much and answered him in monosyllables (只言片语). After reaching the Guest House, we said goodbye.
The next day was a big day. I was to meet the boss of the place, Dr. S. K. Kamat, and I was nervous. I knocked on the door and walked into the large office. The big man had his back to me and as he turned, I recognized the man immediately. He was the driver!
He gave me a broad smile and said he was S. K. Kamat. I could have died at that moment. I apologized for my behavior and was at a loss for words.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
8. What do we know about math anxiety
A. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
9. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
C. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
D. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
10. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Practice more before you take math exams.
B Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Ask cognitive experts for help.
D. Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
11. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.
C. To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
D. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
D
Listen carefully. Don’t answer too quickly. At least don’t say “yes” too soon. A friend might ask, “Want to take a hike ” You should say, “Where ” If he replies “The entire Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚国家步道)”,take warning. Here’s why.
The trail is one of the longest marked footpaths in the world. It starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia. It winds (蜿蜒) along the top of the mountains. It goes through 14 states. It ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine. As the crow(乌鸦)flies, this is about 2,200 miles. But when walked, the trail is 2,600 miles. If you walk nonstop, it takes about six months to walk through the trail.
Most hikers begin from Springer Mountain. They start around April 1. This is why. The snow has probably melted (融化) in the south. But there may still be snow in the north. By the time they reach Maine, the snow will have been long gone. What’s the chance of making it nonstop Here is the data. About 1,500 people try it each year. About 300 people make it. It is a great challenge.
Careful planning is necessary. There are problems to solve. The biggest one is the weight on one’s back. Too many hikers start out with too much. Wise ones don’t carry food. They send packages to post offices along the way. There are no campfires allowed. Some shelters are near the path. But the trail is crowded. It is hard to find space. A perfect tent is necessary. And it rains a lot. Great rain gear (用具) is needed. It should be light.
Benton MacKaye founded the trail. The first section of the trail was opened in 1923. It is cared for by volunteers in each state. Do you plan to go Read lots of books by people who’ve done it.
12 What is the example of the crow in Paragraph 2 used to show
A The trail’s view. B. The trail’s height.
C. The trail’s danger. D. The trail’s distance.
13. What can we know about the Appalachian Trail
A. Only about one fifth of the hikers succeed in hiking every year.
B. Most hikers spend a whole year hiking the trail.
C. It goes through 14 mountains in all.
D. It is about 2,200 miles long.
14. What does the author advise hikers to do
A. Carry enough water and food. B. Wear heavy and warm clothing.
C. Bring enough maps and equipment. D. Send packages along the way ahead of time.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Advice on hiking B. Dangers of hiking
C. Go hiking on the Appalachian Trail D. Introduction of great mountains
