A
Eames House
In the 1940s, with a wave of American soldiers’ heading home from World War II, the magazine Arts or Architecture hoped to drum up interest in a new form of mass housing that was inexpensive and easy to construct from exiting materials. The magazine approached designers and architects like
Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, and Charles and Ray Eames to come up with plans for modern house, and the magazine would publish them.
The idea was that the blueprints would vary according to a family’s individual needs. Charles and Ray Eames chose to design for their own situation----a working couple that needed a house and space for working, but had no children at home. The result was Case Study House No. 8 in Pacific Palisades, Calif, where the Eameses made their home.
The family has stayed in the house and it is home to the Eames Office, which promotes the continuation of both Charles’s and Ray’s ideas. The outside of the house and studio has been open to self-guided tours for years. Not so the inside, which is filled with Eames-designed artwork and furniture.

1. 细节理解题。本题可以运用排除法，根据Charles and Ray Eames chose to design for their own situation----a working couple that needed a house and space for working, but had no children at home. Charles and Ray Eames得知根据自己情况设计Eames House，他们是一对工薪阶层夫妇，没有孩子，可以排除A、C、D两项。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据Wednesdays: CLOSED Sundays: CLOSED，可以得知周三、周日Eames House不开放。故选D。

B
I once knew a high school teacher who made, in my mind, a curious comment. Referring to a naughty student, he remarked, with a tone of gloomy resignation, “People don’t change.” I knew the kid well. He was what one would call a “juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”. But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids, what was the point teaching?
My own son, Alyosha, growing up, was athletic, energetic, and occasionally hard to handle. But he never showed the least interest in tools, or working with his hands in any way. The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush. I recall one day, as I fussed under the car, calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(知动扳手). He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子). “No,” I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place. “Pliers.” He went back into the garage and returned with a bar. “No, no,” I corrected him. “The adjustable wrench! For loosening a nut.” To which, in his own defennce, he exclaimed, “Well, I don’t know!”
Years passed. And then, one day, well into his 20s, he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology. I nodded approvingly, but already knew that it was a challenging field, full of moving parts, tools, and dreaded math.
During his period in Coast Guard technical school I thought about him daily, wondering what the outcome would be. I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.
It didn’t happen. The phone did ring, but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar. Prouder I couldn’t have been.
As I stood before my son, Alyosha, standing at attention and staring dead ahead, glanced at me. “You want me to help you, Dad?” he said. “Always,” I answered, “but not this time.”
Yeah, people do chance. And, in my experience, it’s usually something to see.
4. What’s the auther’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?
A. He approves of it B. He argues against it
C. He is interested in it D. He is uncertain about it
5. The examples in Paragraph 3 are used to show Alyosha___________.
A. lacked team spirit B. knew nothing about mechanics

6. Before Alyosha made the final decision about his future, he ___________.
A. had no college education B. turned to his dad for help
C. tried many different things D. learned mechanics for years
7. Why was the auther ready to get the phone call from his son?
A. He missed his son very much
B. He had an appointment with his son
C. He expected good news about his son
D. He thought his son would quit school
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】我曾经认识一个高中老师,他发表过一番令我觉得十分费解的言论。在谈到一位难以管教的学生时,他用一种严肃而又无可奈何的语气说:"人是不会改变的。的确,年长一些的人往往会变得积习难改,但一个15岁的孩子也会如此吗?,作者以自己孩子为例，相信人们都会改变。
4. 推理判断题。根据But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids, what was the point teaching?得知如果连学校教育也无法保证能给孩子带来积极的改变,要学校有什么意义？可以推断出作者是反对那位高中老师对那个孩子的评论的。故选B。
5. 推理判断题。根据My own son, Alyosha, growing up, was athletic, energetic, and occasionally
hard to handle. But he never showed the least interest in tools, or working with his hands in any way.得知作者以儿子Alyosha为例，说明孩子虽然爱运动、有活力，偶尔不好管教，但是从来对动手工作不感兴趣。Alyosha动手能力差。故选D。
6. 推理判断题。根据Years passed. And then, one day, well into his 20s, he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology.得知孩子在多年后才对自己以后要学些什么做出决定。故选C。
7. 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me it was just too much and that he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.”可知，作者已经做好了儿子放弃机械技术的准备。故选D。
C
The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At a recent count, there are around 50000 of them in the UK, some of which date back to as far as the 5th and 6th centuries. The oldest---Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans---was established in 795.
Because of their abundance, the names pubs take were designed to be memorable---but more than that, they were designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all?
The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to inform passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.
The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would arrange to meet “at the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than “at the Eagle and Child.”
Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors from more trafficked(可贩卖的)paths. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing---more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980—but for now there are still more than enough around that you can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one.
8. What is special about British pub signs?
A. They copy famous art B. They show British life
C. They have unique pictures D. They include the history of the pub
9. The first British pub signs were mainly used to ____.
A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby
C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby
10. Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in ___________.
A. size B. style
C. material D. purpose
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of British pubs
B. The importance of British pub signs
C. Why British pubs have illustrated signs
D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】英国传统的酒吧是英国生活的一部分。根据最新统计，英国有大约5万家酒吧。其中有些可以追溯到五六世纪。本文重点介绍了英国酒吧独特的标牌。
8. 推理判断题。根据Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business.得知英国酒吧标牌的独特之处在于上面都有代表店名的独一无二的插图。故选C。
9. 推理判断题。根据Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.得知最初酒吧的标牌是为了通知潜在的顾客进店喝一杯的。故选B。
10. 推理判断题。根据Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality.得知现代英国酒吧的标牌实用性更强。所以酒吧标牌的目的与以前不同。故选D。
11. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容得知本文讲述了英国酒吧标牌带插图的原因。故选C。
【解题剖析】
4 C【解题剖析】此题属于主旨大意中的（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(
如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。
【答案定位】根据第二段中的you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business. 第三段中的The first British pub signs were created in 最后一段中的but many pub signs do have some functionality.可知，本文讲述了英国酒吧标牌带插图的原因。
【推理关系】题干What is the text mainly about?.☞文章内容①you’ll find a hanging signboard②The first British pub signs were created.③but many pub signs do have some functionality.☞概括总结☞英国酒吧标牌带插图的原因☞标题
【答案】根据①②③总结概括文章☞C选项Why British pubs have illustrated signs
D
For a land where snow is hardly a winter rarity, it will come as little surprise that Scotland has several words for the cold white thing that falls from skies.
But few might expect the list to amount to a grand total of 421 separate terms designed to describe everything from small flakes(雪片)of wind-driven snow (“spitters”) to a figure in a snowstorm(“snaw-ghast”)
The list, which shows that the Scottish comfortably out-compete the 100 or so words used by the Inuits for snow, is part of a project to bring together the roots of every Scots word into a thesaurus (a book that contains lists of words that have similar meanings).
The online Scots Historicl Thesaurus draws on forgotten words from outdated dialects (方言)to terms still used across Scotland today to attempt to record the full range of language used to describe daily life.
Initial research at the University of Glasgow has focused on two areas close to Scottish hearts-----the weather and sport.
Dr Susan Rennie, a Scots specialist at the university, said: “Weather has been a vital part of people’s lives in Scotland for centuries. The number and variety of words in the language show how important it was for our ancestors to communicate about the weather, which could so easily affect their
lives.”
Researthers found that alongside many words for cloud and mist, Scots have excelled down the ages at dreaming up ways to describe the details of types of snow and the way in which it falls.
Someone interested in the weather would mix up “flindrikin” (a slight snow shower with a “bin-drift”, used to describe thick drifting(堆积)snow. The white thing can also “frog” (start to fall), “feefle” (twist around a corner)or “feuchter” (fall in sight flakes).
12. Which of the following comes as a surprise?
A. There’s a lot of snow in Scotland
B. There’re many dialects in Scotland
C. Scotland has several words for snow
D. There’re over 400 Scottish words for snow
13. What’s the purpose of the online Scots Historical Theasaurus?
A. To record the daily language used by Scots
B. To protect endangered languages in Scotland
C. To carry out research into the climate in Scotland
D. To let foreigners have a better idea of Scots culture
14. Dr Suan Rennie gave an explanation of ___________.
A. how they made the world list
B. how Scots communicate with each other
C. why Scots like talking about the weather and sport
D. why they did research on the vocabulary of the weather
15. Which word describes the process of beginning to snow?
A. Feefle B. Frog
C. Blin-drift D. Snaw-ghast
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】本文讲述了苏格兰历史上使用描述雪的词汇竟然多达421个，格拉斯哥大学研究专家称：几个世纪以来，天气是苏格兰人生活的重要一部分，因为这些词汇展现了苏格兰祖先如何交流天气的，因此对这些词汇的研究至关重要。
12. 推理判断题。根据第二段But few might expect the list to amount to a grand total of 421 separate terms designed to describe everything from small flakes(雪片)of wind-driven snow
(“spitters”) to a figure in a snowstorm(“snaw-ghast”)得知在苏格兰语中描述雪的词汇有400多个，这一点出乎人们意料。故选D。
13. 推理判断题。根据The online Scots Historicl Thesaurus draws on forgotten words from outdated dialects (方言)to terms still used across Scotland today to attempt to record the full range of language used to describe daily life.得知“苏格兰历史词典”在线旨在记录一些苏格兰人使用的日常用语。故选A。
14. 推理判断题。根据The number and variety of words in the language show how important it was for our ancestors to communicate about the weather, which could so easily affect their lives.”得知本段解释了Suan Rennie研究天气词语的原因是因为这些词汇展现了苏格兰祖先如何交流天气的。故选D。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As a rule, people want to belong to a popular group. A “sense of belong” is a basic social need, and one may feel more pride and security by being part of the popular group. ___16___For example, teenagers tend to purchase expensive sneakers of cloths just because their friends buy those things. This is a typical example of “the bandwagon effect(从众效应).”
____17____A bandwagon was a vehicle pulled by horses or oxen. It was used to carry a political candidate of the crowd at a parade(游行). There was an expection that people would easily remember and eventually vote for the candidate riding on the bandwagon. But the result surprised everyone. ___18___So the popularity of a candidate could be judged by the number of people who jumped on his wagon. Besides that, there was another interesting aspect to his odd phenomenon.___19___They must
have felt better following the choice of the majority at the parade. Over time, the term “bandwagon” has become an expression to describe this tendency.
____20____For example, you may be familiar with words like this: “All teens are in love with this new MP3 player. Magic Eko! Now it’s your turn to find out why!” People are led to believe that they don’t belong to a popular unless they buy Magic Eko. Clearly the bandwagon effect is an important commercial way to encourage customers to buy new products.
A. The term originated in America more than a hundred years ago.
B. The bandwagon effect occurs when people believe in something.
C. The crowd would prefer to join the wagon loaded with more people.
D. People sometimes copy the way others behave in order to enjoy such feelings.
E. Today, the bandwagon effect is most commonly seen in the advertising industry.

G. The increasing popularity of a group encourage more people to “get on the bandwagon” too.
【答案】16. D 17. A
18. F 19. C
20. E
【解析】一般来说，人们都愿意属于受欢迎的团队，归属感是最基本的社交需求，有归属感的人自豪有安全感。
16. 首先这一段是关于归属感的描述，联系第一空后的内容“This is a typical example of “the bandwagon effect(从众效应).，可以发现D项：人们会去模仿别人希望也有同样的心情，与空后内容可以照应，连接顺畅。故选D。
17. 根据这一空后面的内容“Over time, the term “bandwagon” has become an expression to describe this tendency.”可以发现A选项：这个术语起源于美国，有100多年历史，这里的连接更加的合理。故选A。
18. 根据这一空前面的内容“It was used to carry a political candidate of the crowd at a parade(游行). There was an expection that people would easily remember and eventually vote for the candidate riding on the bandwagon. But the result surprised everyone.”这个术语最初被用来在游行中运送政治候选人，使他能被人们容易记住并投票给他，那么后面则需要解释进一步阐释为什么结果出乎人们意料，可以发现只有F项：碰巧很多人会跳上他们喜欢的候选人的乐队花车上，符合要求，故选F。
19. 第四空前提到还有一个有趣的现象以及后面他们一定感觉跟着多数人的选择更好，得知这一空还应该是与运送人最多的马车有关的内容，可以发现只有C项The crowd would prefer to join the wagon loaded with more people.人群会加入运送人最多的马车与之有关。故选C。
20. 此段的内容是有关于bandwagon对广告业的影响，此空后已经描述了Clearly the bandwagon effect is an important commercial way to encourage customers to buy new products.
所以这一空还应该是与商业领域的影响，可以发现只有E项“Today, the bandwagon effect is most commonly seen in the advertising industry.” 与空后内容可以照应。故选E。

【名师点睛】
词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

【解析】学习一种乐器能给你生活带来乐趣。对孩子而言，年龄越大，音乐对他们就越重要。这里给你提供一些建议帮助你教孩子学习乐器。
41. 考查关系代词。句意：会乐器是一种成就，一种终身的技能，先行词是skill，在定语从句中做主语。故填which/that。
42. 考查动词时态语态。句意：音乐被称为早期语言。根据空前的has得知填现在完成时，音乐和称作是被动关系，故填been described。
43. 考查副词。句意：刚开始学乐器不容易，需要努力和决心。Learning to play an srument动名词做主语谓语用单数第三人称。故填takes。
44. 考查副词。句意：音乐当然不是要从事的工作。副词修饰动词，这里副词是当然，动词是be。故填certainly。
45.
考查动词时态。句意：很多成年人后悔在小时候没有学一门乐器。后悔以前的事情用一般过去时。故填were。
46. 考查名词。句意：学乐器的优点远比欣赏其美妙的声音所带来的快乐多。根据谓语are得知主语优点用复数形式，故填advantages。
47. 考查形容词。句意：学乐器的优点远比欣赏其美妙的声音所带来的快乐多。根据后面的than得知用形容词比较级。故填greater。
48. 考查副词。句意：如果你想要加入更大的组合，这里有很多业余的组合你可以加入。根据语境得知是如果或当你想…的时候。故填if/when。
49. 考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦你达到乐队或管弦乐队的标准，你就会给这个团队增光添彩。用不定式表示表示目的将来。故填to join。
50. 考查介词。句意：和其他人一起弹奏乐器也会营造很好的社会面，也会给你带来环游演出的机会。和某人一起演奏用介词with，故填with。
【名师点睛】
本题难点解读：
1：横线前有被修饰的先行词，且从句中缺少作主语、宾语、表语的引导词时，根据上下文考虑使用关系代词。
It is also an achievement and a skill ___1___stays with your life. 先行词是skill，在定语从句中做主语。先行词后用关系代词。故填which/that。
2：句中已有谓语动词且又无并列连词与括号内提示的动词并列，说明空格需填非谓语动词形式。
Once you’ve reached a good enough standard___9___(join)a band or orchestra(管弦乐队),这里reach与后面join之间没有连词，故判断用非谓语形式，根据语境得知表示目的，故用动词的不定式形式。
第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

I have always been very fond of sport. When I see some people snowboarding, I decided to give them a try. It was difficult to do than I had expected. At the first I found that I could not keep my balances on a board easily. And it was almost impossible to me to go any distance without falling. I hated to fail in any sport, but I continued to try and final managed to go all the way down a slope(斜坡)with an accident. It was then that I realized how a great sport it was. Now I’d rather going snowboarding regularly.
【答案】
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者爱好运动，他学习滑雪并爱上滑雪运动的经历。
第一处：根据下文的谓语动词decided，was…都用的过去时，可以判断出此处用一般过去时，故要将see改为saw。
第二处：根据前面的滑雪，可以得知我也想尝试一下滑雪运动，指代的是单数，故them改为it。
第三处：根据than比较级的标志词得知“比我想象的更困难”用形容词比较级，故要在was后加more。
第四处：起初at first，固定短语。故要将the去掉。
第五处：保持平衡，keep one‘s balance，平衡是不可数名词。故要将balances改为balance。
第六处：it is+形容词+for somebody to do，因此介词使用错误。故要将to改为for。
第七处：根据前面的内容可知我不愿运动失败，因此继续努力，前后是因果关系，故要将but
改为so。
第八处：副词修饰动词。这里副词是最终，动词是设法成功做某事。故final改为finally。
第九处：多么棒的运动，感叹句what+冠词+形容词+名词，故要将how改为what。
第十处：would rather do something 为固定用法，用动词原形。故going改为go。
