语，be equal与other things之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式表示主动，构成独立主格结构，A项符合
题意；B项是虚拟条件句的倒装结构，正常语序为if other things were equal，但句中is表明题干使用真实语
气，B项错误；C项be equal to doing胜任，不符合题意 ；D项中动词不定式表示将来，而题干描述现在
的客观事实，D项错误。故选A项。

The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or
entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s
birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
781-641-0747
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His
“Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands
in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his
life.
Norman Rockwell Museum
9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
413-298-4100, www.nrm.org
Rockwell (1894-1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known
illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A．M. Stern-designed
building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art.
Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with ID: $10
Edward Gorey House
8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port
508-362-3909
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, yes, but he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume
designer. Gorey purchased this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently
serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate,
in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare.
Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
815 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R. I.
401-294-3001
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American
artist. His portrait of George Washington is the basis of the first president’s image on the dollar bill. As one of the
early Republic’s most distinguished artists, Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits over the course of his
career.

38．细节理解题。根据Norman Rockwell Museum部分中“Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with
ID: $10(6岁及以下儿童免费，成人$20，学生凭身份证$10)”可知，如果一对夫妇带着他们上高中的孩子去
看洛克威尔的艺术作品，他们要付20+20+10=50美元。故选D。
39．细节理解题。根据Edward Gorey House部分中“8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port”以及“Edward Gorey
(1925-2000) was an artist, yes, but he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer.(爱德
华·戈里（1925-2000）是个艺术家，没错，但他还有其他身份：作家、剧作家、布景和服装设计师)”可知，

My name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets, because I’m a terrible liar. But there is one
huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come
close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had
gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.
But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing
off the brand new license they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t remember if I was nervous. What
I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to
pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn’t upset that I
was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told
everyone I didn’t want to take the test on my birthday.
One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by
myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I’ve never experienced—but still, I couldn’t imagine ever telling
anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my
college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.
Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn’t更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君

【答案】41．A 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．B
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者马修驾驶考试不及格而保守了很久的秘密。
41．细节理解题。根据第一段“But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test. I had
never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had
to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting
behind the wheel was a different story. (但有一个我保守多年的大秘密——我的驾驶考试不及格。我以前从未
考试不及格，甚至从未接近过。开车让我很焦虑，但我父母告诉我必须这样做。他们给我报了驾驶课。我
在笔试中取得了满分，但开车就另当别论了。)”可知，马修在学习开车方面学的很慢。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据第二段“What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few
seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a
pause and not a real stop. I wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license (我所记得的是开始测试，几秒钟后
在停车标志处停下来，然后被教练要求靠边停车。我收到了一个自动失败，因为我的停顿确实是一次停顿，
而不是真正的停车。我没有因为无证离开而感到沮丧)”可知，作者被教练要求靠边停车应该是要求他结束
考试。故选A。
43．推理判断题。根据第二段“I wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone
would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn’t want to take the test on my birthday.
(我并没有因为无证离开而感到沮丧，但我害怕每个人都知道我失败了。所以当我上课的时候，我告诉大家更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
我不想在生日那天参加考试。)”可知，害怕在同学们面前丢脸是让马修在第一次驾照考试尝试后感到极度
担忧的事情。故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据第三段“One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that
night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I’ve never experienced—but
still, I couldn’t imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until midway through college that I came
clean. (一个月后的一个星期五，我再次去了考点，并通过了考试。那天晚上晚些时候，我第一次独自开车，
这给我带来了一种从未经历过的奇妙感觉——但我仍然无法想象会告诉任何人真相。所以我没有。直到大
学中途我才坦白。)”可知，马修直到上了大学才坦白他曾经没有通过驾照考试。故选C。
45．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to
experience, without which one couldn’t make a true man. (现在我意识到失败和不完美是每个人都必须经历的
两件事，没有这两件事就无法成为一个真正的男人。)”可知，马修认识到失败是通往成长的必经之路。故
选B。
C
Scientists have discovered a new structure that allows lunge feeding whales, also called rorqual whales (长须
鲸), to take in massive amounts of water without choking.
To capture prey (猎物), rorqual whales use a method called lunge feeding. They speed up, and take in a
volume of water large enough to fill their entire bodies.
Scientists didn’t know how these whales avoided choking on prey—filled water and flooding their respiratory
tracts (呼吸道) during a lunge feeding event. Now Dr. Gil and his colleagues have discovered a large structure that
they’ve termed the “oral plug” —a structure never before described in any other animal—that they think makes
lunge feeding possible.
Dr. Gil and his colleagues analyzed dead fin whales. By physically dissecting (解剖) the mass of muscle and
tissue that plug the back of the whale’s mouth, the researchers determined that when the animal is at rest, the plug
blocks off the whale’s pharynx (咽道), a tube-shaped structure that leads to both the respiratory and digestive tracts.
When a whale lunges, the “oral plug” protects both tracts from being flooded by the water and the living creatures
that the animal has taken in.
When the animal is ready to swallow its latest meal, the oral plug shifts upward to protect the upper
respiratory tract. At the same time, the larynx (喉) closes up and shifts downward, blocking the lower respiratory
tract. In other words, during swallowing, the pharynx only leads to the digestive tract.
“This fills in a blank that we didn’t even know really existed,” said Dr. Gil of the team’s findings. Ari
Friedlaender, who studies whale feeding behaviors at the University of California but was not involved in this
research, sees great value in filling in these anatomical blanks about whales.
“The more we can understand how they develop these means for being able to eat so much, the more we
understand about what their abilities are, and how they function as part of marine ecosystems,” Dr. Friedlaender
said.
46．Which words can best describe the lunge feeding method of rorqual whales?更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
①speedy ②massive ③precise
A．②③ B．①② C．①③ D．①②③
47．What function does the “oral plug” have?
A．It just blocks off the two airways when the whale rests.
B．It just protects the upper airway when the whale swallows.
C．It just blocks the lower airway when the whale lunges.
D．It ensures that the meals and water just go into the pharynx.
48．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Dr. Friediaender shared his findings of whale feeding behavior with Dr. Gril.
B．Dr. Friedlaender praised the research for it further explains how marine ecosystems function.
C．Dr. Friedlaender will cooperate with Dr. Gil and his team for the future research.
D．Dr. Gil was probably surprised to find the existence of the “oral plug”.
49．What is Dr. Friedlaender’s attitude towards the new findings?
A．Negative. B．Indifferent. C．Cautious. D．Positive.
50．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Why do whales lunge for food? B．Why don’t whales choke?
C．Why do whales have respiratory tracts? D．Why are whales unique?
【答案】46．B 47．B 48．D 49．D 50．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现的一种新结构——口腔塞，这种结构能够帮助鲸
鱼在冲刺进食过程中避免被充满食物的水呛到。
46．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To capture prey, rorqual whales use a method called lunge feeding. They
speed up, and take in a volume of water large enough to fill their entire bodies.(为了捕捉猎物，罗夸尔鲸使用一
种叫做冲刺式捕食法。它们加快速度，吸收足够多的水来填满它们的整个身体)”可知，它们的冲刺式进食
的方法非常快速，且一次进食量很大。故选B项。
47．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When the animal is ready to swallow its latest meal, the oral plug shifts
upward to protect the upper respiratory tract.(当这种动物准备吞下最新的食物时，口腔塞会向上移动，以保护
上呼吸道)”可知，当鲸鱼吞咽时，“口腔塞”只是保护上呼吸道。故选B项。
48．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““This fills in a blank that we didn’t even know really existed,” said
Dr. Gil of the team’s findings.(“这填补了我们之前不知道的一个空白，”吉尔博士在谈到该团队的发现时
说)”可知，吉尔博士可能对“口腔塞”的存在感到惊讶。故选D项。
49．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The more we can understand how they develop these means for being
able to eat so much, the more we understand about what their abilities are, and how they function as part of marine
ecosystems,” Dr. Friedlaender said.(Friedlaender博士说：“我们越能了解它们是如何发展出这些能够吃得这
么多的手段的，我们就越能理解它们的能力是什么，以及它们是如何作为海洋生态系统的一部分发挥作用
的”)”可知，Friedlaender博士认为通过这个新发现，我们可以进一步了解海洋生态系统，即他对此发现的更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
态度是积极的。故选D项。
50．主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Scientists have discovered a new structure that allows lunge feeding
whales, also called rorqual whales, to take in massive amounts of water without choking.(科学家们发现了一种新
的结构，这种结构可以让箭步鲸(也称为罗夸尔鲸)在不窒息的情况下吸收大量的水)”可知，文章主要介绍
的是“口腔塞”这种结构如何帮助鲸鱼在冲刺进食过程中避免被充满食物的水呛到。故 B项“为什么鲸鱼
不呛水？”适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。
D
All of us have taken an instant dislike to someone, and then felt guilty about being too judgmental. But now
it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most people can correctly judge a total stranger
following a short meeting, according to scientists.
And in general, the more confident the people are, the more likely they are to be correct in their assumptions.
Jeremy Biesanz, who led a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, said: “Many important
decisions are made after very brief encounters — which employee to hire, which person to date, which student to
accept”. Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be
not good enough.
The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a meeting. Much like speed-
dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each. At the end of each three-minute chat,
they were asked to rate each other’s personalities, and how well they thought their impressions “would coincide
with someone who knows this person very well”.
To find out what the person was “really” like, the scientists had his friends and family fill out his personality
reports. Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another’s personality, the
closer their ratings were to those of the other person’s friends and family, the researchers said.
However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated themselves moderately( 适
度)accurate — those highly confident of their judgment were less successful. The scientists concluded that,
although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character knows that in many ways people
are mostly alike. For example, almost everyone would prefer being kind to being unfriendly.
Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether
somebody really is “better” than someone else.
51．The volunteers joined a meeting which was ______.
A．interesting B．complex C．serious D．brief
52．The underlined phrase “coincide with” in Para. 3 can be replaced by ______.
A．agree with B．appeal to C．get along with D．set an example to
53．What are the conditions for being a good judge?
①Being talkative ②Good social relationships
③A proper degree of confidence ④Knowing that people are mostly alike
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．④①
54．In the author’s opinion, ______.更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
A．many important decisions are made with the help of strangers
B．people tend to have better impressions on friends than on strangers
C．we shouldn’t depend on first impressions completely to judge others
D．accurate judgments on others can help us make as many friends as possible
55．What topic is the passage mainly concerned with?
A．We should not doubt our ability to judge others.
B．Our first impressions on a stranger are usually accurate.
C．Confidence determines whether people can succeed or not.
D．It’s an important task to make a good judgment about strangers.
【答案】51．D 52．A 53．C 54．C 55．B
【导语】本文的体裁是议论文。文章讨论了第一印象的有效性，并提出了科学研究结果来支持观点。
51．细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a
meeting. Much like speed-dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each.(研究人员
安排了两组超过100人的人在一个会议室里见面。就像速配相亲一样，志愿者们与各自小组内的每个人交
谈三分钟)”可知，志愿者参加的会议很短暂，故选D项。
52．词句猜测题。根据第三段“At the end of each three-minute chat, they were asked to rate each other’s
personalities, and how well they thought their impressions(在每次三分钟的交谈结束时，他们被要求相互评价
对方的性格，以及他们认为自己的印象会有多大程度的……)”以及“someone who knows this person very
well”(非常了解这个人的人)”可推理出划线词的含义为“与……一致”，故选A项。
53．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated
themselves moderately(适度)accurate — those highly confident of their judgment were less successful (然而，准
确度最高的是那些认为自己判断适度准确的人——那些对自己判断非常有信心的人反而不太成功)”以及
“The scientists concluded that, although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character
knows that in many ways people are mostly alike.(科学家们得出结论，尽管我们知道人与人之间是不同的，但
擅长判断性格的人知道，在许多方面，人们大都是相似的)”可知，一个好的判断者需要适度的自信以及知
道人们大都是相似的这一事实，故选C项。
54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not
conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.( 因此，虽然第一印象通常比
较准确，但在判断某人是否真的比另一个人更好时，它们并不是决定性的)”可推理出作者认为：我们不应
该完全依靠第一印象来评判别人，故选C项。
55．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But now it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most
people can correctly judge a total stranger following a short meeting, according to scientists(但现在看来，我们应
该更加相信自己的第一印象。科学家称，大多数人可以在短暂会面后正确地判断一个完全陌生的人)”、第
二段“Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be
not good enough(虽然我们的第一印象通常很准确，但我们必须认识到，在哪些地方我们的第一印象可能不更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
够准确)”、第四段“Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another’s
personality, the closer their ratings were to those of the other person’s friends and family, the researchers said(研究
人员表示，一般来说，志愿者在准确评价他人性格方面越自信，他们的评价就越接近他人的朋友和家人的
评价)”以及最后一段“Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in
working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.( 因此，虽然第一印象通常比较准确，但在
判断某人是否真的比另一个人更好时，它们并不是决定性的)”可知，本文主要讲的是我们对陌生人的第一
印象通常是准确的，故选B项。

My students and I were ready for a challenge — a trip to Costa Rica. As we were waiting at the airport, we
talked about our hopes and fears for our ten — day trip. My students worried about homesickness and felt uneasy
with their homestay families. But strange foods or meeting new people didn’t concern me. What terrified me was
the best part of the trip — a zip lining(滑缆绳) flight over the jungle valley bordering Arenal Volcano. I made a
secret pact(协议) with myself to find an excuse to get out of it at the last minute.
When the fateful day arrived, we got to the peak to enjoy the breathtaking view of the volcano. When seeing
the activity, my students raised a cheerful shout. How I wished I had had the same feeling as them. However, I was
afraid of heights.
My student Eileen sidled up to me. Her face was pale. “I’m scared,” she whispered. “Will you stay back with
me?” Here was my chance! I could get out of zip lining and still save face!
“I’m scared, too,” I said quietly.
“Yeah,” she said. “I thought you would be the right person to ask because you are really white, and you are
sweating.” Her words woke me up, and something clicked into place. If I couldn’t step outside of my comfort zone,
how could I ask the kids to do so?
“Maybe we should give it a try,” I said. I felt a little sick, but I couldn’t believe my body was actually moving
toward the launch point.
“Come on,” I said. “OK,” she agreed.
Eileen zipped past me, screaming with fear or delight, which I was not sure of. Once she was across, I
followed. The attempt was not as terrible as I had thought. From that moment on, I knew there was nothing to fear
as long as I walked out of my comfort zone and had a try.
56．What worried the author’s students about the trip?（No more than 10 words）
57．What did the author’s students think of the activity of a zip lining fight?（No more than 15 words）更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
58．What’s the meaning of the underlined word?（One word）
59．Why did Eileen come up to the author on the day of the activity?（No more than 10 words）
60．What do you think of the author’s attempt? Give your reasons?（No more than 20 words）
【答案】56．Homesickness and homestay families worried them about the trip. 57．They were all excited
but Eileen was scared about it. 58．Amazing. 59．Because she wanted the author to stay back with her.
60．It was brave and inspiring because she walked out of her comfort zone and faced the challenge although
scared.
