Ⅳ. 阅读理解
13．（8分）A new word is becoming more and more popular on the Internet in China﹣but no one knows quite what it means．The word"duang"is so new that you can't even find it in the Chinese dictionary．But it has already spread（传播） like fire on the Chinese Internet，appearing more than 8，000，000 times on Weibo，where 15，000 users had more than 312，000 discussions．On Baidu，it has been looked up almost 600，000 times．But what does it mean？
"Everyone's duang﹣ing and I still don't know what it means!Looks like I'd better go back to school now，"said Weibo user Fahmida．
Another user asked："Have you duang﹣ed today？My mind is full of duang duang duang．"
"To duang or not to duang，that is the question，"wrote user Beatrice．
"Duang"seems to be imitating （模仿） a sound．It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan，who in 2004 appeared in a shampoo ad （洗发水广告） where he used the sound"duang"to describe his soft and black hair．The word came to people again recently（最近） after Chan posted it on his Weibo page．Thousands of users then began to visit Chan's Weibo page with comments （评论）．
The word seems to have many different meanings，and there's no perfect （完美的） Chinese meaning for it，but you could use it to give emphasis （强调） to the word that follows it．A kid might be"duang cute"，for example．
（1）According to the passage， users joined in the discussion on Weibo．
A．312，000
B．15，000

D．reply to Weibo users' comments
（3）Mary got a gift from her old friend and said"I am duang surprised"．She might mean that she was according to the passage．

14．（8分） "I had a Welsh speaking test.I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class.I just couldn't do it，" says 13﹣year﹣old Mary. "I pretended to be ill." But Mary did not enjoy her day off. "I watched TV all day —it was boring.I wished I had gone to school."
Mary's story is not unusual in Britain.According to the latest government figures，pupil absences are rising，despite schools taking a hard line on truancy （逃学）．
Philippa James，a PhD researcher at Cardiff University's school of social sciences，thinks she knows why： "The more schools improve methods of detection（检查），the more children work out better methods of deception." Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson，so they'd miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years，James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers，aged 13 and 14，including Mary，to see how the teenagers truant，for how long，and why.
Through online conversations and face﹣to﹣face interviews，she discovered that most truancy was "a response to factors within the school".Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent.They complained of teachers who failed to engage them，and of "boring" lessons. "Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education，but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective." James says.
The views of students like Adam，who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling，were common. "I only take﹣off for a lesson，or a couple of days.It doesn't affect my education，" he told James.
James' study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. "Pupils need help from the start." she says. "It's a two﹣way process – schools must be responsive.We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number，so that instead of walking away from school，students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change."
（1）What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James' study？
A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.
B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.
C．Truants have more interesting things to do.
D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.
（2）The underlined phrase "taking a hard line" （paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to"_____".
A．experiencing a problem with
B．having a strict attitude towards
C．finding it difficult to solve
D．having little success with
（3）By citing Adam's remark，James wants to show that .
A．school education is not efficient and needs improvement
B．it's a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm
C．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern
D．even good students may sometimes need a break from school
（4）What is Philippa James' suggestion to schools？
A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.
B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.
C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.
D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.
15．（8分）Kids in primary schools in Bellaire，Ohio，US have something to sing about．For the past several years，public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes．They didn't have the money to pay for them．But now they have got the money to bring back music．
Many school officials （行政官员） across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school．Also，studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower （促进脑力）．For example，researchers from the University of Southern California did a study．They found that the brains of 10 and11﹣year﹣olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't．
Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools，not everyone says it's necessary．Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths，writing and science，all of which may be more useful to students later in life．Here's what two kids think．
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun．We have music classes at my school，and I love them!In 2018，a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey （调查） on music education．More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused （专注的）．
Noah
At my school，we don't have music classes．I think that's OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects，like reading and maths．It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument．If someone wants to take music classes，he or she can do it outside of school．I take piano classes after school，so it doesn't take time away from my other classes．
Sophia
（1）Paragraph 2 uses an example to show that ．

B．Schools should do music research．
C．Music is useful to students later in life．

B．She thinks it is boring to play the piano．
C．She goes home immediately after school．
D．She studies in a school without music class
16．（8分） As a teacher，my daily life includes driving to a new school so I'm usually unable to anticipate （预料） the day's events，good or bad!
One day，I was teaching in a very difficult classroom.I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time，I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunch break，I drove to a coffee shop nearby to get a cup of coffee.While returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside!I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4﹣ or 5﹣ minute drive away.I considered rushing back，but it being winter，I thought a fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald's and asked the man at the counter （柜台） who happened to be the manager to please call me a taxi.I explained my situation to him，and I could tell by the look in his eyes，that he took pity.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I walked in the restaurant.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the taxi company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected，and that he was now on hold again，but had not yet been able to ask for the taxi yet.
Without a thought，he caught his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Immediately I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes left before the bell!
While arriving at the school，I thanked this man endlessly.His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for，and also a wonderful human being to have on his earth.This experience makes me realize that out of every hopeless situation，there is the chance for acts of kindness to happen，which can create an unimaginable impression to those who receive them.
（1）Why did the writer want to get a cup of coffee？

B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.
C．Because he had to make himself fresh for the classes in the afternoon.

17．（8分）As one of the most well﹣known of the fantasy languages invented for science fiction film，television and book，and developed by J．R．R．Tolkien himself，Elvish is made up with several thousand words and different sentence structures．
Constructed languages （人造语言） like Elvish are real languages，made up of thousands of words created by fantasy writers，linguists and fans，with real language rules．While a
widespread vocabulary is advantageous to a constructed language，there is a key differentiator （区分者） we can see between just a lot of words and real language：Grammar．
Grammar is what makes constructed languages like Elvish learnable by everyday superfans．Superfans of The Lord of the Rings have built websites and created dictionaries，apps and translators，to teach Elvish．They have also created online clubs where fans can discuss and even create new words based on the already existing vocabulary，and continue to study the language．
So what does it take to be a master of Elvish？
In learning Elvish，there are a couple of grammatical rules similar to those of the English language．For example，in order to make a verb past tense in English，you have to add an﹣ed，making wash washed．Similarly in Elvish，in order to change the word for wash，which is allu，to the past tense then you have to add an﹣ne to the word．So washed is then translated to allune in past tense．
Nouns in Elvish are different in the way that the noun changes depending on how it's used in a sentence，just like in Latin or Russian．For example，the word head in Elvish is CAS．However，if you duck your head，then the word changes to CARA．When mentioning something in your head，then it changes to CASSE．Tolkien's attention to detail in creating the fantasy world used in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit，complete with multiple functioning （多功能的） invented languages，has attracted readers and movie viewers these years．
Elvish is only one of the many magical languages developed by J．R．R．Tolkien．Creating language for fantasy has proven to add to viewers and readers experiences．By transplanting their imagination to a new world，fans are able to learn the new language and speak Elvish with each other，much like their favorite characters．
（1）Elvish is considered a real language because ．
A．certain grammatical rules make the language learnable
B．it is made up with lots of words and sentence structures
C．characters in The Lord of the Rings use it to communicate
D．new words can be created based on already existing words
（2）For the fans of The Lord of the Rings， ．
A．Elvish is a language difficult to learn
B．there is no Elvish dictionary to refer to
C．Elvish adds to the novel's attractiveness
D．they can even create new grammar for Elvish
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Elvish？
A．The translation of"washed"in Elvish is"allu"．
B．The form of a noun doesn't change in Elvish．
C．Elvish and English share the same grammar．
D．Elvish is also used in the film The Hobbit．
（4）The best title for this passage might be ．
A．Elvish，a Magical Language
B．J．R．R．Tolkien，a Great Writer
C．The Hobbit，a Wonderful Film
D．Language，a Way to Communicate．
18．（10分）As soon as the woman got into the house，her eight﹣year﹣old daughter told her that her younger brother drew so many pictures on the clean wall of his bedroom and left the white wall in a mess．

"He's hiding himself in the cupboard in his bedroom．"The little girl answered．

The six﹣year﹣old boy was staying with fear in the cupboard when he heard what his mother said．He knew she got really angry this time．
The woman pushed the door open with a loud noise．But when she saw the words and pictures on the wall，her anger soon disappeared．"I love you，mum!"covered the whole wall，with so many hearts around them，and so many stars in the sky．
The mother's eyes were full of happy tears．She opened the door of the cupboard，and hugged （拥抱） her son tightly．The boy said"I love you，Mum!"to her mother in a low voice when he was in his mother's arms．
It's the most expensive present from her son﹣"Love on the wall"．Eight years later，the boy suddenly died of heart disease．The mother had kept the wall tidy with great care for nearly fifty years until she was dead．
In the mother's heart，it seemed that her son was alive，and always looking at her in the sky with many shining stars around him．

14．（8分） "I had a Welsh speaking test.I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class.I just couldn't do it，" says 13﹣year﹣old Mary. "I pretended to be ill." But Mary did not enjoy her day off. "I watched TV all day —it was boring.I wished I had gone to school."
Mary's story is not unusual in Britain.According to the latest government figures，pupil absences are rising，despite schools taking a hard line on truancy （逃学）．
Philippa James，a PhD researcher at Cardiff University's school of social sciences，thinks she knows why： "The more schools improve methods of detection（检查），the more children work out better methods of deception." Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson，so they'd miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years，James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers，aged 13 and 14，including Mary，to see how the teenagers truant，for how long，and why.
Through online conversations and face﹣to﹣face interviews，she discovered that most truancy was "a response to factors within the school".Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent.They complained of teachers who failed to engage them，and of "boring" lessons. "Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education，but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective." James says.
The views of students like Adam，who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling，were common. "I only take﹣off for a lesson，or a couple of days.It doesn't affect my education，" he told James.
James' study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. "Pupils need help from the start." she says. "It's a two﹣way process – schools must be responsive.We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number，so that instead of walking away from school，students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change."
（1）What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James' study？ D
A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.
B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.
C．Truants have more interesting things to do.
D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.
（2）The underlined phrase "taking a hard line" （paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to"_____". B
A．experiencing a problem with
B．having a strict attitude towards
C．finding it difficult to solve
D．having little success with
（3）By citing Adam's remark，James wants to show that B .
A．school education is not efficient and needs improvement
B．it's a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm
C．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern
D．even good students may sometimes need a break from school
（4）What is Philippa James' suggestion to schools？ B
A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.
B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.
C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.
D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.
【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了英国学生逃学现象的普遍性，以13岁的Mary为例，揭示了孩子们因为学校某些不足而选择逃学的原因。卡迪夫大学的社会科学研究者Philippa James通过研究60名青少年的逃学行为，发现逃学往往是学生对学校内部因素的反应，并非因为他们学习能力差或智商低。文章最后指出，学校需要关注学生逃学的原因，而不仅仅是逃学人数，以帮助学生解决问题并作出改变。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第五段They complained of teachers who failed to engage them，and of "boring" lessons.（他们抱怨老师没能吸引他们，抱怨课程"无聊"。）可知，逃课的原因之一是逃学的学生对老师不满意。故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段According to the latest government figures，pupil absences are rising（根据最新的政府数据，学生的缺勤率正在上升）可推知，尽管学校对逃学采取了严格的态度。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段The views of students like Adam，who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling，were common. （像Adam这样认为逃课对他的学业影响不大的学生的观点很普遍。）可知，通过引用Adam的话，James想表明，人们普遍认为偶尔的逃学不会造成太大的伤害。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段"Pupils need help from the start." she says. "It's a two﹣way process – schools must be responsive.We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number，so that instead of walking away from school，students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change."（"学生从一开始就需要帮助，"她说。"这是一个双向的过程——学校必须做出回应。我们需要关注逃学的原因，而不是逃学的人数，这样学生就有技能和机会讨论问题，做出改变，而不是离开学校。"）可知，她建议学校应该更积极地帮助初学逃学的学生。故选B。

15．（8分）Kids in primary schools in Bellaire，Ohio，US have something to sing about．For the past several years，public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes．They didn't have the money to pay for them．But now they have got the money to bring back music．
Many school officials （行政官员） across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school．Also，studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower （促进脑力）．For example，researchers from the University of Southern California did a study．They found that the brains of 10 and11﹣year﹣olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't．
Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools，not everyone says it's necessary．Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths，writing and science，all of which may be more useful to students later in life．Here's what two kids think．
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun．We have music classes at my school，and I love them!In 2018，a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey （调查） on music education．More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused （专注的）．
Noah
At my school，we don't have music classes．I think that's OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects，like reading and maths．It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument．If someone wants to take music classes，he or she can do it outside of school．I take piano classes after school，so it doesn't take time away from my other classes．

16．（8分） As a teacher，my daily life includes driving to a new school so I'm usually unable to anticipate （预料） the day's events，good or bad!
One day，I was teaching in a very difficult classroom.I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time，I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunch break，I drove to a coffee shop nearby to get a cup of coffee.While returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside!I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4﹣ or 5﹣ minute drive away.I considered rushing back，but it being winter，I thought a fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald's and asked the man at the counter （柜台） who happened to be the manager to please call me a taxi.I explained my situation to him，and I could tell by the look in his eyes，that he took pity.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I walked in the restaurant.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the taxi company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected，and that he was now on hold again，but had not yet been able to ask for the taxi yet.
Without a thought，he caught his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Immediately I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes left before the bell!
While arriving at the school，I thanked this man endlessly.His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for，and also a wonderful human being to have on his earth.This experience makes me realize that out of every hopeless situation，there is the chance for acts of kindness to happen，which can create an unimaginable impression to those who receive them.
（1）Why did the writer want to get a cup of coffee？ C

17．（8分）As one of the most well﹣known of the fantasy languages invented for science fiction film，television and book，and developed by J．R．R．Tolkien himself，Elvish is made up with several thousand words and different sentence structures．
Constructed languages （人造语言） like Elvish are real languages，made up of thousands of words created by fantasy writers，linguists and fans，with real language rules．While a
widespread vocabulary is advantageous to a constructed language，there is a key differentiator （区分者） we can see between just a lot of words and real language：Grammar．
Grammar is what makes constructed languages like Elvish learnable by everyday superfans．Superfans of The Lord of the Rings have built websites and created dictionaries，apps and translators，to teach Elvish．They have also created online clubs where fans can discuss and even create new words based on the already existing vocabulary，and continue to study the language．
So what does it take to be a master of Elvish？
In learning Elvish，there are a couple of grammatical rules similar to those of the English language．For example，in order to make a verb past tense in English，you have to add an﹣ed，making wash washed．Similarly in Elvish，in order to change the word for wash，which is allu，to the past tense then you have to add an﹣ne to the word．So washed is then translated to allune in past tense．
Nouns in Elvish are different in the way that the noun changes depending on how it's used in a sentence，just like in Latin or Russian．For example，the word head in Elvish is CAS．However，if you duck your head，then the word changes to CARA．When mentioning something in your head，then it changes to CASSE．Tolkien's attention to detail in creating the fantasy world used in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit，complete with multiple functioning （多功能的） invented languages，has attracted readers and movie viewers these years．
Elvish is only one of the many magical languages developed by J．R．R．Tolkien．Creating language for fantasy has proven to add to viewers and readers experiences．By transplanting their imagination to a new world，fans are able to learn the new language and speak Elvish with each other，much like their favorite characters．
（1）Elvish is considered a real language because A ．
A．certain grammatical rules make the language learnable
B．it is made up with lots of words and sentence structures
C．characters in The Lord of the Rings use it to communicate
D．new words can be created based on already existing words
（2）For the fans of The Lord of the Rings， C ．
A．Elvish is a language difficult to learn
B．there is no Elvish dictionary to refer to
C．Elvish adds to the novel's attractiveness
D．they can even create new grammar for Elvish
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Elvish？ D
A．The translation of"washed"in Elvish is"allu"．
B．The form of a noun doesn't change in Elvish．
C．Elvish and English share the same grammar．
D．Elvish is also used in the film The Hobbit．
（4）The best title for this passage might be A ．
A．Elvish，a Magical Language
B．J．R．R．Tolkien，a Great Writer
C．The Hobbit，a Wonderful Film
D．Language，a Way to Communicate．
【分析】原文大意：
作为科幻电影最著名的幻想语言之一，电视和书籍是由J．R．R．Tolkien自己开发，精灵由几千个词和不同的句子结构组成．
构造语言就像精灵，是真实的语言，由幻想作家，语言学家和球迷创造的数千个词组成，具有真实的语言规则．广泛熟知的词汇有利于一种语言的构造，在许多词汇和一门语言之间，有一个关键区别，那就是语法．语法是使构造的语言像精灵一样变成可以被日常超级粉丝学习的东西．魔戒的建立者建立了网站，创建了字典，应用程序和翻译，并且一直在教授精灵．他们还创建了在线俱乐部，粉丝可以讨论甚至基于已经存在的词汇创建新词，并继续学习语言．
那么，成为精灵的高手需要什么？
在学习精灵语言时，有一些与英语语法相似的语法规则．例如，为了使英语中的动词过去时态，你必须添加ed，比如把wash变成washed．类似地在精灵中，在改变洗涤这个词时，这个词是allu，过去时，那么你必须添加一个ne到这个词．然后洗就被翻译成过去时的allune．
精灵中的名词根据其在句子中的使用方式而有所不同，就像在拉丁语或俄语中一样．例如，精灵中的词头是CAS．但是，如果你低头，那么词改变为CARA．当你注意到脑海中的某些事情，那么它将变为CASSE．Tolkien在戒指和霍比特人非常在意使用文字的细节，努力完成多功能发明语言，因此这么多年吸引了大量的读者和电影观众．
精灵只是由J．R．R．Tolkien开发的许多神奇语言之一．创造奇幻语言已经证明了其在创作中加入了观众和读者的经验．通过移植他们的想象力到一个新的世界，影迷们能够学习新的语言，并且彼此通过精灵交流．并且，更加喜欢剧中人物的性格．
【解答】（1）A，文义推断题，文中指出"like Elvish are real languages with real language rules"，精灵语言虽然是认为编写，但让他被认为是一种语言的原因是他拥有一套完整的语言规则，所以选择A
（2）C，文字推断题，文中指出"Superfans of The Lord of the Rings have built websites and created dictionaries，apps and translators，to teach Elvish．"指环王的超级粉丝在教授精灵语言，且创建字典，开设网站和app等形式，所以推测精灵语言不难学，并存在字典工具，所以排除AB选项；文中用"They have also created online clubs where fans can discuss and even create new words based on the already existing vocabulary，and continue to study the language．"来表明粉丝可以创建新词，但并不包括语法，所以选项D错误．对于选项C，文章说"has attracted readers and movie viewers these years"，表明其这些年吸引了很多读者及看电影的人，所以说精灵是一种新兴的语言结构，并且吸引了好多人．故选C
（3）D，细节分析题．根据原文意思，"allu，to the past tense then you have to add an﹣ne to the word"，洗的单词在精灵中是'allu'，再转换成过去时时应该在末尾家"ne"，A错误；文中说"Nouns in Elvish are different in the way that the noun changes depending on how it's used in a sentence"，表明名词的使用形式与句子表达意思有关，说明其会发生变化，B错误；文中指出"there are a couple of grammatical rules similar to those of the English language"，说明精灵语言和英语语法类似，但从下文得知并非完全相同，所以C错误；D中Hobbit霍比特人属于科幻电影，所以符合要求．
（4）A，考查主题归纳．本文通篇都在介绍精灵语言，涉及到其发明人，电影名称及语言学习，但最重要的还是在说明精灵语言的出处、发展、语法、教学等，所以主题应该是精灵语言，所以选择A．
【点评】本文主要是奇幻语言﹣精灵的来源、语法及应用等．题止涉及到词义猜测、推理判断和主旨大意题，要在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理地分析才能得出正确答案，切记不能乱猜，一定做到有理有据

When the woman heard this，she was angry．"Where's your brother now？"
"He's hiding himself in the cupboard in his bedroom．"The little girl answered．
The woman got even angrier．She complained about her son when she went towards her son's bedroom．
The six﹣year﹣old boy was staying with fear in the cupboard when he heard what his mother said．He knew she got really angry this time．
The woman pushed the door open with a loud noise．But when she saw the words and pictures on the wall，her anger soon disappeared．"I love you，mum!"covered the whole wall，with so many hearts around them，and so many stars in the sky．
The mother's eyes were full of happy tears．She opened the door of the cupboard，and hugged （拥抱） her son tightly．The boy said"I love you，Mum!"to her mother in a low voice when he was in his mother's arms．
It's the most expensive present from her son﹣"Love on the wall"．Eight years later，the boy suddenly died of heart disease．The mother had kept the wall tidy with great care for nearly fifty years until she was dead．
In the mother's heart，it seemed that her son was alive，and always looking at her in the sky with many shining stars around him．
（1）Why was the woman angry at first after she heard what her daughter said？ C
