本文是一篇記敘加議論的短文。小女孩住在山上的一座破舊的小房子里，她可以通過花園的籬笆看到對面山上一個有著金色窗子的美麗的房子。于是，稚嫩的童心里就有了一個美麗的夢想：什么時候能住進這所美麗的房子里呢？等女孩稍稍長大后，她騎車到了夢想的房子的前面，她所看到的使她震驚、心碎：心目中金色的窗子原來是普通而又滿目灰塵。暮然回首，才發(fā)現(xiàn)對面山上自己的房子是那般美麗！

 本篇難度：中等。

[篇章結(jié)構(gòu)]：

段落

關(guān)鍵詞

大意推測

第一部分（para.1）

a little girl, poor house on a hill, a small garden, a wonderful house with shining golden windows, desired to live such a house

住在山上的小女孩看到對面山上的有金色窗子的美麗的房子。雖然她深愛她的父母和家人，但她是多美渴望能住進這所金色的房子里啊！

第二部分（para.2-3）

gained some skill and sensibility, allowed her to go, The day was beautiful, across the valley, rode to the golden house, focus on the path, vey disappointed, windows were rather dirty

女孩漸漸長大了，媽媽答應她在房子周邊騎車。她騎上自行車下山直奔對面的金色的房子。但是到了房前，她端詳著那條小路和房子的窗戶，這才發(fā)現(xiàn)窗戶是如此地普普通通而又臟兮兮。

第三部分（para.4）

Heart-broken, amazing, There on the other side of the valley was a little house and its windows were golden. She had been living in the golden house filled with love and care.

眼前的景色讓她失望且傷心。但回頭處，卻看到了另一番美景：對面的山上，是自己住的金色的房子。原來自己一直置身于自己夢想的金色的房子里，享受這家人的關(guān)愛！

[解析]：

36．C。 利用語境解題。本題的提示詞是usually, 根據(jù)語境這里應該表示一個小女孩的個人習慣，句子的意思是：通常她會在那個小花園里玩耍。

37．B。根據(jù)句間邏輯關(guān)系解題。主句是she desired to live in such a house, 從句是she loved her parents and her family, 主句和從句的關(guān)系應該是讓步關(guān)系，雖然她深愛著自己的父母和家人，但還是渴望住在那棟房子里。所以選擇Although。

38．A。利用語境解題。desired to live in such a house和______ all day about how wonderful and exciting…之間是并列關(guān)系。解題關(guān)鍵在于desired, 既然渴望，就會有夢想，所以選擇dreamed。 dream about doing sth 夢想做…，所以選擇dreamed。

39．C。 根據(jù)上下文語境解題。本題的解題關(guān)鍵在于介詞about 后面的賓語從句how wonderful and exciting _________ must be to live there.這個句子如果用陳述句型表達應該是：_____ must be wonderful and exciting to live there. 經(jīng)分析可知，本題考查的是it做形式主語，代替后面的不定時to live there。鑒于此，答案為C。

40．D。 根據(jù)下文提示解題。下文提到懇求媽媽之后才被允許騎自行車圍著花園轉(zhuǎn)一轉(zhuǎn)，說明小女孩剛剛學會些基本的（basic）技能和識別力，所以選擇D。

41．A。根據(jù)生活常識和上下文提示解題。上一段提到desired, dreamed等動詞，說明了小女孩渴望的心情，后面有提到 “Her mother finally allowed her to go”,由此可知小女孩“懇請”媽媽答應自己的請求，所以選擇A。

42．B。 根據(jù)下文詞匯復現(xiàn)解題。下文提到了keeping close to the house（在房子周邊，附近），說明這里表達的是在花園周圍騎車。所以答案是B。

43．A。根據(jù)上下文語境解題。前面提到媽媽答應了小女孩的要求，但是這是有條件的，那就是媽媽堅持(insisting on)要她不要遠離自家的房子，不要騎太遠。這個答案表明媽媽的態(tài)度，所以選擇A。

44．C。根據(jù)下文詞匯復現(xiàn)解題。上文提到begged her mother for a bike ride, 所以這里應該是表明媽媽對她的要求，不要騎(riding)太遠，所以答案選擇C。

45．C。根據(jù)上下文語境解題。小女孩早就夢想著一飽花園的美麗，當?shù)玫綃寢屧试S騎車的時候，她心里“確切”地知道她要去哪里。所以答案選擇C。

46．B。根據(jù)生活常識和上下文提示解題。文章的開始就提到A little girl lived in a simple and poor house on a hill. 明確告訴我們小女孩住在山上，所以這里是騎車下山，答案是B。

47．D。根據(jù)下文詞匯復現(xiàn)解題。由下段的開始句she got off her bike and put it against the gate post, 可知小姑娘騎車到金色的房子的門口，所以答案為D。

48．B。根據(jù)句間邏輯關(guān)系解題。本句的解題關(guān)鍵在于主句中的謂語focused on the path和從句謂語got off the bike之間的邏輯關(guān)系。先下車再專心研究/看…，由此可知要選的從屬連詞為引導時間狀語從句的，但是got of f her bike 為瞬間動詞，而while引導的時間狀語從句的謂語動詞應該是延續(xù)性的，所以否定C答案，選擇B。

49.  C。根據(jù)固定搭配解題。get to 到達；introduce… to 介紹…給…；lead to 通向； move to 朝…移動。本句要表達的是道路與房子的關(guān)系，應該是這條路通向那所房子，所以選擇C。

50．D。根據(jù)上下文語境解題。上句提到她focused on the path and then on the house itself， 說明她仔細觀察了這條道路和那所房子。仔細觀察后應該有所發(fā)現(xiàn)，這里是指小女孩親眼見到的一切，所以選擇D。

51．C。根據(jù)句間邏輯關(guān)系解題。前面說到she was very disappointed和下面提到very dirty，這些都是選擇本題答案的依據(jù)，既然disappointed， 就說明這所房子遠沒有她當初想象得好，很一般，很普通。所以選擇C。

52．D。根據(jù)上下文語境解題。上段提到了小女孩disappointed, 本句中又有heart-broken,由此可推斷小女孩很傷心和難過(sad),所以選擇D。

53．A。根據(jù)下文提示解題。下文提到There on the other side of the valley…可知這里指“小女孩轉(zhuǎn)過身，回頭看”，所以選擇A。

54. D。根據(jù)上下文語境解題。下文提到There on the other side of the valley was a little house and its windows were golden. 這是小女孩回頭所看到的的景象，所以選擇D。

55.C。根據(jù)生活常識和上下文提示解題。這里指小女孩通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷明白了一個道理，原來自己一直住在一座充滿了關(guān)愛的金色的房子里。也就是她意識到了這一點，所以答案選擇C。

Dear Boris,

     ___1____

After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. ___2____ Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.

__3____ Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food.

I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful. ___4____ On the other hand, habits are different. People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. ___5____

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(傳統(tǒng)). Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.

Love from Britain.

                                                           Peter

A. The weather in London is really changeable.

B. I have difficulty in understanding my classmates.

C. Thanks for your nice letter.

D. The family I live with are friendly.

E. It’s very different from what I learned at school.

F. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.

G. But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising.

Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seems to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other.   1  The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.
At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species?  2  If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.
The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脈金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell.   3  Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.
  4  Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.
There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model.  5  

A．The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峽蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees.
B．The larger insect has a wingspread (翼長) of up to four inches.
C．The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.
D．Birds protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.
E. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic（保護色）.
F. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family?
G. Do you like this kind of special species?

It’s not news that we spend more time than ever texting and online.1 Yes, that’s right: a 2010 study shows that more teens are reading good old-fashioned, ink-on-paper books.
Reading is a good way to discover the next big thing and to learn a little more about yourself while you’re at it.2 Here are some tips.
Start with your interests
Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school. You can pick something that’s all about your interests, whether it’s ancient martial arts, computers, or fashion design.
Reading the blurbs(簡介)
The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are called “blurbs”. 3if you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes(if there are any) and see which authors praised the book. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find you like books by those authors too.
Ask an expert
4 Explain your interests--- rock stars, sports teams, historical events, humors, whatever you’re into—and any writers you like, and your librarian can point you toward books that you’ll love.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.5 You can put on some good music(ideally without lyrics), get yourself some tea and a comfy spot, and let yourself be carried away by the book.
You’ll see that time does fly when you are reading something you love!

A．Join a group with your friends and people you trust.
B．But do you know how to pick a book you’ll really like?
C．But did you know that we also spend more time reading?
D．Your local library can hook you up with a whole lot of great book ideas.
E. What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age or your dad’s?
F. We all multitask, but most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate and focus on it.
G. They give you an idea of what the book is about, and can also help you pick future books too.

Over the years, Americans have become used to salt．Most people have no idea how much salt they consume-on average, about 9 to 12 gram per person per day, according to the American Heart Association．That's twice the amount recommended by the government．
A new study last week showed eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart．The scientists said the results would be thirteen percent fewer heart attacks, eight percent fewer strokes（中風）, four percent fewer deaths and eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease．
Researchers also found that the benefits would be greatest for African Americans and women．As a group, African Americans tend to have higher blood pressure than the general population, and "many studies suggest that they may be more sensitive to salt," says Dr.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, an epidemiologist（流行病學家）at the University of California, San Francisco．Her analysis found that a reduction of 3 gram of salt per day would reduce heart attacks 8% on average; among African Americans, that rate would drop 10%．A similar result was found in women, whose stroke risk dropped 8% with a 3-g reduction in salt intake; in men, the risk fell 5%．
They and public health professionals in the United States are interested in a national campaign to persuade people to eat less salt．
However, other scientists say such a campaign is an experiment with the health of millions of people．
Michael Alderman, a high blood pressure expert and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, says that eating less salt results in lower blood pressure．But he says studies have not clearly shown that lowering salt means fewer heart attacks or strokes．
“Salt has other biological effects． Calling for reductions in the national diet could have good effects, as well as harmful results． There is not enough evidence either way,”said Michael Alderman．
【小題1】Eating too much salt may lead to the following EXCEPT           ．

A．strokeB．heart diseaseC．high blood pressure D．lung cancer
【小題2】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Most Americans take more salt than advised．
B．African women eat more salt than Americans．
C．One's origin determines how much salt he can eat．
D．Good health is just on the basis of having less salt．
【小題3】The author's attitude toward the study is         ．
A．coldB．objectiveC．subjectiveD．doubtful
【小題4】What's the best title of the passage?
A．The Benefits of Eating Less Salt．
B．A New Study on Salt and Diseases．
C．An Argument Over Salt and Health．
D．The Harm Caused by Too Much Salt．
