Not all heroes wear capes(斗篷) and Steve Montelongo proved the statement. While he doesn’t consider himself a hero, he has saved the lives of three people during the last two decades.
The 80-year-old man was in the right place at the right time, when he pulled a man out of his sinking car after he had accidentally driven into a river. Montelongo jumped to the man’s help without any hesitation(犹豫) or regard to his own health.
The accident happened while the elderly man was taking his granddaughter home after a dentist’s appointment. They had stopped at a traffic light when the girl saw the car fall into the river. Montelongo got out of his car to check out the scene and instantly noticed that water had begun rushing into the vehicle of the trapped driver. He walked into the river and managed to open the automobile’s back door, which fortunately was unlocked. As the water began to rush into the car faster, the 80-year-old managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack Swarts from the car by his shirt.
He later said in an interview—“I don’t consider myself a hero. I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time”—words from a genuine modern-day good person.
This, however, wasn’t Montelongo’s only act of heroism. Nearly 20 years ago, he helped two of his neighbors get to safety as their house was caught in a fire. He was 62 years old at the time and had to kick open his neighbor’s front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathirne Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne Maxwell. During the rescue, Montelongo suffered chest pains and had to be hospitalized but made a quick recovery (恢复). He was awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery and act of heroism.
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A. Heroes like special clothes. B. Everyone wants to be a hero.
C. Heroes deserve to be praised. D. Ordinary people can be heroes.
5. How did Montelongo save Jack Swarts
A. By managing to start the car. B. By pulling him out of the car.
C. By clearing the car of water. D. By giving him first aid treatment.
6. What can we infer about Montelongo from his words in the interview
A. He is modest. B. He is brave.
C. He is responsible. D. He is clever.
7. What can we learn from Montelongo’s story
A. A hero is a man of confidence.
B. Care is an important part of courage.
C. For what they ought to do, such a person is brave.
D. The most terrible enemy is the lack of strong faith.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。在过去的20年里，Montelongo拯救了三个人的生命，他也因自己的勇敢和英雄行为得到了嘉奖。
【4题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第一段中“Steve Montelongo proved the statement. While he doesn’t consider himself a hero, he has saved the lives of three people during the last two decades(史蒂夫·蒙特隆戈证实了这一说法。虽然他并不认为自己是英雄，但在过去的二十年里，他挽救了三个人的生命)”可知，不是所有的英雄都穿斗篷，普通人也可以是英雄，史蒂夫·蒙特隆戈证实了这一说法。故划线句意思是“普通人也可以成为英雄”。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the water began to rush into the car faster, the 80-year-old managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack Swarts from the car by his shirt.(随着水开始更快地涌入汽车，这位80岁的老人设法抓住62岁的Jack Swarts的衬衫，把他从车里拉了出来)”可知，Montelongo从车里把Jack Swarts拉下来救了Jack Swarts，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I don’t consider myself a hero. I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time(我不认为自己是英雄。我只是一个在正确的时间被安排在正确的地方的人)”可以推断，他非常谦虚。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He later said in an interview—“I don’t consider myself a hero. I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time”—words from a genuine modern-day good person.(他后来在一次采访中说：“我不认为自己是英雄。我只是一个在正确的时间出现在正确的地点的人”——这是一个真正的现代好人的话)”结合本文讲述了在过去的20年里，Montelongo拯救了三个人的生命，他也因自己的勇敢和英雄行为得到了嘉奖，但他不觉得自己是英雄，只是做了自己该做的事，故C项“不管他们应该做什么，这样的人是勇敢的”符合题意，故选C。
C
Lectures on happiness are becoming increasingly popular in Harvard University. I went to one of them, which left a lasting impression on me. While we were listening with close attention, the speaker suddenly stopped and started a game, giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write their name on it using a pen. Then the 100 students from 25 schools were divided into two groups.
Now the two groups were in different rooms with their balloons flying in it. The first group of 50 students were asked to find the balloon with their name on it within 5 minutes. Everyone was hurriedly searching for their own name, pushing and running into each other, and there was lots of noise. At the end of 5 minutes, none of them could find their own balloon.
The second half, on the other hand, was asked to randomly (随机地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is hurriedly looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, and you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.
8. What happened to the first group
A. None made any noise at all. B. None found their balloon
C. Everyone found their friends. D. Everyone helped one another.
9. How many students found their own balloons in the game
A. 5. B. 25. C. 50. D. 100.
10. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE
A. Everyone pushed each other in the two groups.
B. Students in the game come from the same school.
C. Our happiness comes from the happiness of others.
D. Students learned nothing about happiness in the game.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Finding Happiness B. Having Lectures
C. Collecting Balloons D. Playing Games
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了关于快乐的讲座在哈佛大学越来越受欢迎，作者去听了其中的一个讲座，这次讲座给作者留下了深刻的印象；作者意识到每个人都在匆匆地寻找快乐，但是不知快乐在哪里，其实人们的快乐在于他人的快乐，给他人快乐，你会得到自己的快乐。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The first group of 50 students were asked to find the balloon with their name on it within 5 minutes. Everyone was hurriedly searching for their own name, pushing and running into each other, and there was lots of noise. At the end of 5 minutes, none of them could find their own balloon.”（第一组50名学生被要求在5分钟内找到印有他们名字的气球。每个人都在匆忙地寻找自己的名字，相互推搡着撞了过去，一片嘈杂声不绝于耳。5分钟后，他们谁也找不到自己的气球。），可知第一组没有人找到他们的气球。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Then the 100 students from 25 schools were divided into two groups.”（然后将来自25所学校的100名学生分成两组。），第二段中的“At the end of 5 minutes, none of them could find their own balloon.”（5分钟后，他们谁也找不到自己的气球。）和第三段“The second half, on the other hand, was asked to randomly (随机地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.”（另一方面，另一半人被要求随机收集一个气球，并把它交给上面写着名字的人。几分钟之内，每个人都有了自己的气球。），可知100名学生分成两组，第一组50人谁也找不到自己的气球，第二组50人都有了自己的气球，可知50个学生在游戏中找到了自己的气球。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people.”（我们的快乐在于别人的快乐。），可知C项“我们的快乐来自于他人的快乐”是正确的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲“作者在哈佛大学听关于幸福的讲座时看到的一个找自己名字气球的游戏”，第二段讲“第一组50人各自找气球，结果谁也找不到自己的气球”，第三段讲“第二组50人互相给予气球，最后大家都有了自己的气球”，第四段讲“作者得出道理：每个人都在四处寻找快乐，不知道快乐在哪里，我们的快乐在于别人的快乐——给他们快乐，你也会得到自己的快乐”，文章通过互相给予气球的游戏告诉我们，我们的快乐来自于他人的快乐，给他们快乐，你就会得到自己的快乐，A项“找到快乐”符合文意。故选A项。
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization(全球化)and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and powerful languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected
13. Which of the following languages is not a powerful language
A. English. B. Spanish. C. Latin. D. Chinese.
14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language change.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着时代的变迁，语言的数量在不断的变化。10000年前，当世界上只有500万到1000万人时，他们之间可能会说12000种语言。目前，世界上大约有6800种语言。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When the population of the world was hunter-gatherers, small, closely connected groups developed their own speech different from each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.(当世界上的人口都是狩猎采集者的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间不同的讲话模式。一些语言专家认为，1万年前，当世界上只有500万到1000万人的时候，他们之间所运用的语言可能会达到12000种)”可知，在世界上的人口都是狩猎采集者的时代，语言种类很多。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization(全球化)and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and powerful languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.(近几个世纪以来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和普及义务教育，特别是过去几十年的全球化和更好的通信，都导致许多语言消失，而英语、西班牙语和汉语等强大的语言正越来越多地取而代之)”可知，拉丁语不是强大的语言。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.(语言者的中位数仅为6000人，这意味着世界上一半的语言的使用者人数少于6000人)”以及“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. (目前，世界上大约有6800种语言)”可知，目前，大约有3400种语言的使用者少于6000人，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.(语言的出现和消失已经有几千年的历史了，但最近出现的语言越来越少，而消失的语言却越来越多)”结合文章主要讲述了随着时代的变迁，语言的数量在不断的变化。10000年前，当世界上只有500万到1000万人时，他们之间可能会说12000种语言。目前，世界上大约有6800种语言。可知，这篇文章的主旨是人类的发展导致语言的减少。故选C。

But there’s more.”（为什么运动 你可能会说“锻炼身体”，你是对的。玩得开心吗 这是真的。但还有更多。）下文“According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just a good figure.”（根据女子运动基金会的说法，参加运动的女孩不只是身材好。）同时结合下文讲的是五个原因。所以，设空处和上文为承接关系，是过渡句，可以表述为事实上有五个原因。选项D.“In fact, there are at least 5 more reasons.”（事实上，至少还有5个原因。）切题。 5 more reasons呼应下文的各个小标题。故选D。
2.根据上文“Girls who play sports do better in school.You might think that playing sports will take up all your study time.”（做运动的女孩在学校表现更好。你可能认为做运动会占用你所有的学习时间。）下文“Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration, which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.”（锻炼可以提高学习能力、记忆力和注意力，这可以让活跃的女孩在课堂上占有优势。）说明了锻炼给女孩带来的好处，所以空白处和上文为转折关系，表明锻炼会给女孩带来好处的。G项“But research shows girls who play sports do better in school than those who don’t.”（但研究表明，参加体育运动的女孩比不参加体育运动的女孩在学校表现更好。）该项中的But表示转折关系，故选G。
3.根据本段主题句“Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills.”(参加体育运动的女孩能学习团队合作和目标设定技巧。)下文“When you work with coaches, trainers, and teammates to win games and achieve goals, you’re learning how be successful. ”（当你与教练和队友一起赢得比赛并实现目标时，你就在学习如何成功。）讲的是体育运动能传授有价值的生活技巧。因而设空处应总说体育运动可以传授一些生活技巧。B项”Sports teach valuable life skills.”(运动会教会有用的生活技巧。)符合本段文意，故选B。
4.根据上文“Playing sports improves self-confidence.”（做运动可以增强自信。）所以接下来讲述做运动对女孩的好处，E项“Girls who play sports feel better about themselves.”（喜欢运动的女孩自我感觉更好。）切题。故选E。
5.本句作为段落主题句，结合上文提到的内容，本段同样讲述做运动可以带来好处。根据下文“Playing sports can reduce stress and help you feel a little happier.”（运动可以减少压力，帮助你感觉更快乐。）所以，空白处讲述运动可以减少压力。A项“Exercise cuts the pressure.”（运动减少压力）切题。故选A。

47. 读后续写 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby(破旧的)and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
②The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
③As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额)to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me. ”
④The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像)on the fireplace(壁炉)mantle(覆盖物). “Do you collect dogs ” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections(收藏品) in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have. ” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
⑤“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much. ” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye. ”
⑥The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.
Paragraph 1:
The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man.

【答案】范文
The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines!” The old man stared at I angrily. “I know that, Sir. I just wanted to bring you a gift.” The little boy handed him the dog figurine. Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything and simply smiled in tears, as no one had ever shown him so much kindness.
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house and talking to his neighbors. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man frequently and brought his real live dog to his house once in a while. He even invited the old man to join his family for Christmas dinner. With the boy’s company, the old man was no longer a lonely soul and lived a happy life from then on.

Not all heroes wear capes(斗篷) and Steve Montelongo proved the statement. While he doesn’t consider himself a hero, he has saved the lives of three people during the last two decades.
The 80-year-old man was in the right place at the right time, when he pulled a man out of his sinking car after he had accidentally driven into a river. Montelongo jumped to the man’s help without any hesitation(犹豫) or regard to his own health.
The accident happened while the elderly man was taking his granddaughter home after a dentist’s appointment. They had stopped at a traffic light when the girl saw the car fall into the river. Montelongo got out of his car to check out the scene and instantly noticed that water had begun rushing into the vehicle of the trapped driver. He walked into the river and managed to open the automobile’s back door, which fortunately was unlocked. As the water began to rush into the car faster, the 80-year-old managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack Swarts from the car by his shirt.
He later said in an interview—“I don’t consider myself a hero I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time”—words from a genuine modern-day good person.
This, however, wasn’t Montelongo’s only act of heroism. Nearly 20 years ago, he helped two of his neighbors get to safety as their house was caught in a fire. He was 62 years old at the time and had to kick open his neighbor’s front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathirne Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne Maxwell. During the rescue, Montelongo suffered chest pains and had to be hospitalized but made a quick recovery (恢复). He was awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery and act of heroism.
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A. Heroes like special clothes. B. Everyone wants to be a hero.
C. Heroes deserve to be praised. D. Ordinary people can be heroes.
5. How did Montelongo save Jack Swarts
A. By managing to start the car. B. By pulling him out of the car.
C. By clearing the car of water. D. By giving him first aid treatment.
6. What can we infer about Montelongo from his words in the interview
A. He is modest. B. He is brave.
C. He is responsible. D. He is clever.
7. What can we learn from Montelongo’s story
A. A hero is a man of confidence.
B. Care is an important part of courage.
C. For what they ought to do, such a person is brave.
D. The most terrible enemy is the lack of strong faith.

Lectures on happiness are becoming increasingly popular in Harvard University. I went to one of them, which left a lasting impression on me. While we were listening with close attention, the speaker suddenly stopped and started a game, giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write their name on it using a pen. Then the 100 students from 25 schools were divided into two groups.
Now the two groups were in different rooms with their balloons flying in it. The first group of 50 students were asked to find the balloon with their name on it within 5 minutes. Everyone was hurriedly searching for their own name, pushing and running into each other, and there was lots of noise. At the end of 5 minutes, none of them could find their own balloon.
The second half, on the other hand, was asked to randomly (随机地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is hurriedly looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, and you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.
8. What happened to the first group
A. None made any noise at all. B. None found their balloon
C. Everyone found their friends. D. Everyone helped one another.
9. How many students found their own balloons in the game
A. 5. B. 25. C. 50. D. 100.
10. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE
A. Everyone pushed each other in the two groups.
B. Students in the game come from the same school.
C. Our happiness comes from the happiness of others.
D. Students learned nothing about happiness in the game.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Finding Happiness B. Having Lectures
C. Collecting Balloons D. Playing Games
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization(全球化)and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and powerful languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected
13. Which of the following languages is not a powerful language
A. English. B. Spanish. C. Latin. D. Chinese.
14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.

47. 读后续写 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby(破旧的)and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
②The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
③As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额)to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me. ”
④The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像)on the fireplace(壁炉)mantle(覆盖物). “Do you collect dogs ” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections(收藏品) in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have. ” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
⑤“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much. ” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye. ”
⑥The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.
Paragraph 1:
The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house.

Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man.
