但是，表示转折关系。根据“
I'd love to我很想去”以及“I'm afraid I have to do my homework. 恐怕我得做家庭作业”判断两句之间互为
转折关系，所以用but连接，故选D。

称单数；will arrive一般将来时。分析句子结构可知，本句是as soon as引导的时间状语从句，遵循主将从
现的原则，主句是一般将来时will+动词原形，从句用一般现在时，而且从句的主语he是第三人称单数，
所以谓语动词也要用第三人称单数形式；故选C。
8. Listen! Grandpa _________ in the living room now.
A. is singing B. was singing C. sing D. sings【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：听！爷爷现在正在客厅唱歌。
考查动词时态。根据Listen，可知听的是正在发生的事情，所以句子时态用现在进行时，其结构为am/is/
are+动词的现在分词，主语是第三人称单数，be动词用is，sing的现在分词是singing；故选A。

David had a new baby sister. She lay in a bassinet（婴儿摇篮）in the kitchen, and everyone thought she was
wonderful. Aunt Sue came first thing in the morning to see her. She gave David a hug at the door and ____13____
him a package. But when he started to open it, she said, “This is for the baby. You and I will have a treat later this
week.” Slowly David walked outside. He had swept the front porch（门厅） this morning, even the leaves that
were ____14____ in the corners—but Aunt Sue hadn’t noticed.
He heard whistling down the block. It was Mr. Larkin, the mailman. David decided to meet him. He jumped
all the way down the sidewalk on one foot and didn’t even fall down. But Mr. Larkin just said, “I hear you have a
new baby sister. Aren’t you ____15____?” And he gave David the mail.
David walked with heavy steps back to the house. Mother and Aunt Sue were still talking, even though it was
almost lunchtime. He put the mail on the table and ____16____ a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. He made it
just right. It wasn’t even drippy（滴水的）.
His brother Jeff, home from kindergarten, rushed into the kitchen. David held up his sandwich. “Look, Jeff. I
made my own ____17____.” But Jeff just nodded and said, “Guess what? The baby smiled at me!” David ate his
sandwich. It wasn’t that good after all. He could hardly taste the jelly.
The house was quiet. Mother and the baby were taking a nap, and Jeff was outside playing. David got out his
crayons and drew a whole page of turtles, each a different color. The front door opened. It was his big sister Beth,
home from high school. He took his picture in to show her. She smiled. Then she took out a little package and said,
“Look, David. I got these little shoes for ____18____. Aren’t they cute?” And she ran upstairs to show Mother.
David went outside and got his bike. He rode up and down the sidewalk, very slowly. His stomach hurt.
Finally he went back in the house. Mother was just coming out of the kitchen. She held out her arms. “Come and
give me a hug, David. I’ve hardly seen you all day. What have you been doing?”
All of a sudden his stomach felt better. He gave his mother a big hug and took her hand. “I’ll show you,” he
said. He took her out on the porch. “ David, you swept the porch — you even got the leaves in the corners!”
He felt a big smile pop out on his face. He jumped down all the steps on one foot. She clapped. “And you
didn’t even ____19____.”
He took her back in the house to see his turtle picture. She looked at each turtle carefully. “David, this is a
wonderful picture. Let’s put it up on the refrigerator, so Daddy can see it when he gets home.” They walkedtogether into the kitchen. There was the baby, still sleeping and making little wiggling noises. David looked at his
mother, but she was busy taping his picture to the refrigerator.
He reached over and touched the baby’s hand. She grabbed（抓住）his finger and held on ____20____. A
warm, wonderful feeling filled David. Mother walked over and put her arm around his shoulder. “I’m glad this
baby has you for a big brother.” David smiled up at Mother. “Me too,” he said.

A Special Card
“Attention, everyone!” Miss Dalrymple looked at her class of ten-year-olds. “Today we are going to create a
special card for Father’s Day, which falls on this weekend.” Then she busied herself handing out the paper and art
materials to her noisy pupils.
They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town, but the majorities（大部分）were from
parents who struggled to get jobs. So she had not been eager to carry out this activity.
“Think about all the things that your dad does that makes him special,” she said loudly as she came up to the
last table. “You can write a poem or short story that makes your dad special. The written part of this activity should
be completed before you start to decorate your card.”
Andrew looked at the blank page. He had never met, spoken to, or been hugged by his dad, so how could he
write about him? Once when he was looking in his grandma’s photo box, he had seen an old black and white photo
but it was badly creased (弄皱) and difficult to recognize any clear features（特点）. Grandma had quickly taken
it from him and buried it deeply among the rest, never to be found again. After thinking for a while, he wrote:
Dear Dad,
You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long
time ago. I think and wonder about you often, especially when I have no one to talk to. One day when I grow up I
will do an Internet search to find you, but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several efforts by the Child
Support Agency have not been successful.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
Love,
Andrew

If you’re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your beside or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read”
sign on it. Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new
purchases. But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eoo. He is
the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a
library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who get the point that a private library
is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the
more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.
If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a steam of
information at an artificial(假的) point. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently
curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don’t feel guilty over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as
you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain
books may become references(参考书) more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought fiveyears ago has special relevance today.
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s good for you and good for the
world around you.
27. What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Feelings of guilt over new books. B. A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C. The collection of unread books. D. A large personal library.
28. According to the author, more unread books mean ________.
A. your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong B. you limit yourself from the unknown
C. you have known a lot about the world D. you are eager to know the new world.
29. What's the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【分析】本文主要讲了收藏未读书籍这一行为是非常好的，收藏更多未读书籍意味着你对新信息的强烈渴
望。
【27题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the
larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.”可知，知道的越多，未读书籍的名单
越多，这种未读书籍的收藏就叫做antilibrary，故选C。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you're consistently curious
about the unknown.”可知，更多未经阅读的书意味着你持续对未知的事物很好奇，也就是渴望了解新世界，
故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s
good for you and good for the world around you.”可知，作者对于收藏未读书籍这一行为持赞成态度，故选
C。
D
Do you know we are living in the world of mass media? Mass media are tools of communication and allow us
to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered（分散的）audience. However, have you imagined what
life would be without the media? Are you a media user who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend
requests, exciting online games and your mobile — or would you easily survive?Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called
Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban
（禁止）by unplugging (拔插头) all forms of media devices (设备) for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at
Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However, during
the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said:
“They’re reporting withdrawal（孤僻）signs, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected. ”
During their 24-hour unpleasant experience, three volunteers had to put up with one interruption from the
media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100
lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social
importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”
From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it, but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in
my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like
Dr. Roman Gerodimos expected us all to, but it’s not something I would like to do again!”
And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be has been without my mobile; not
only is it a social thing, it’s my main point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using
the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US
teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month—that’s about six texts per waking hour.
So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in
the future?
30. According to the passage, what do you learn about the global experiment called Unplugged?
A. The experiment was carried out by US and UK governments.
B. The volunteers of the experiment are all university students.
C. It has been carried out among all the students in the world.
D. Its findings proved that Dr. Gerodimos’ expectations were true.
31. According to what the three volunteers wrote during the experiment, we can learn that ________.
A. they all feel very surprised and worried
B. all of them feel their life is peaceful without a mobile
C. it is hard for them to spend the 24 hours without the media
D. it makes them realize the social importance of the mobile32. What does the writer think about the mass media?
A. He prefers not to live with it. B. He thinks highly of it.
C. He worries about its influence. D. He is not sure about its future.
33. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Hello, technology! B. The young’s lives, a mess?
C. Welcome, information age! D. Mass media, a lifelong partner?
【答案】30. B 31. D 32. C 33. D

Meet-a-scientist: AnneHave you ever played with K’nex, Lego, or Mechana? Anne loved playing with toys to build things. She was
interested in trying to understand how different pieces could fit together. She made up a system that turned on the
light switch, like a Rube Goldberg machine!
Although she loved trying to do new things, this early science exploration wasn’t always easy for Anne. She
remembers getting upset when she couldn’t understand how to get a Lego Robot to do what she wanted. Her dad
told her: “Getting upset with a lack of progress is normal. When that happens, just take a break and then come back
to it when it feels fun again!”
When Anne went to middle school, she was required to do a project for the science fair. Her first project was
on soaking (浸泡) different kinds of wood in water and then seeing how much of a load (负载) they could hold
before breaking. By following the steps of the scientific method and then creating a good presentation, she received
recognition at the science fair. She says: “Even though I didn’t win, that helped prove myself that I was possibly
good at science.”
So why go into science professionally? Anne says, “It was the most interesting thing I’d ever done. I have
never run out of interesting things to learn about and I really like learning things. There are always unanswered
questions, and they are the kind of questions that I find interesting! Even if other people already know the answers
and you could look it up online, teaching yourself the process of finding answers is more important than finding the
answers.”

七、附加阅读
Perfectly Imperfect
The artist Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps best known for painting the Mona Lisa, produced a drawing called the
Vitruvian Man. In it, da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body. But is this really what a perfect
body looks like?
An imperfect man
Consider Michael Phelps.The winningest swimmer of all time, Phelps earned 28 Olympic medals. His body
does not look like the Vitruvian Man. In fact, Phelps’ body is quite unusual. The best swimmers tend to have long
torsos （躯干） and short legs. Phelps is 6 feet 4 inches tall, but his torso is as long as what you would expect to
see in a man who is 6 feet 8 inches tall. His legs are the length typical of a man who is 5 feet 10 inches. Phelps has
long arms too. Like the Vitruvian Man, most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height. Phelps’
wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches, three inches longer than his height.
His ankles are extremely flexible and his feet are big. So Phelps’ legs act like flippers（脚蹼）when he
swims.
No one could argue that Phelps has a perfect body in da Vinci’s sense. But is it correct to say it is imperfect?
What does “perfection” mean when we are talking about human biology? Does it even exist?
What is physical perfection?
Maybe perfection has more to do with how a body works than how it looks. How we work actually depends
upon how well we fit into our environment.
Here’s an example from the animal kingdom. Imagine brown rabbits and white rabbits in a snowy field. Under
these conditions, predators （捕食者） are less likely to see and catch the white rabbits. In a summertime field—
all brown soil and green and golden plants—white rabbits are more visible （可见的） and easier to catch.
Neither white nor brown fur is perfect for rabbit survival. Rabbits need different bodies for different seasons. And
in fact, in some types of rabbits, fur color changes with the seasons. Like rabbits, all living things adapt to their
environments. They need some changes to help thrive （茁壮成长） in their specific environments. But evolution
（演变） isn’t engineering. Often, imperfections that don’t affect survival too badly get passed down through the
generations.
Variation （变化） as a way to success.
Michael Phelps’ body is not perfectly symmetrical （对称的）or balanced. His physical variations, however,
may have given him the advantages to be a close-to-perfect swimmer. Phelps’ case is not the only one; top athletes
show great variability that provides them with the physical characteristics to approach perfection in action. UsainBolt, an Olympic sprinter （短跑运动员）, has legs so long that it takes him four to five fewer steps to complete a
100-meter race than his competitors.
Simone Biles, another Olympic gold medalist, is both strong and small. It is perfect for her sport of
gymnastics.She may also have a better-than-average ability to sense where her body is in space, perhaps making
jumps easier than it would be for an average person. No athlete is born with the skills to win gold medals, though.
Those achievements require years of effort.
Using variation to your advantage
Da Vinci’s drawing of the Vitruvian Man put maths and art together. To da Vinci, the Vitruvian Man showed
perfect proportions （比例）. It was his image of the perfectly formed man. Da Vinci is a time-honored artist, but
is there really such a thing as a perfect body?
No.
In biology, there is no such thing as one perfect body. In fact, variation in all living things, including us, is the
rule. This variation is important for our life. Human variation has allowed us to live in wildly different
environments—the tropics, deserts, and the Arctic—and to develop many different physical, mental, and emotional
talents. Not only is there no perfect human body, but also our species thrives because we are different from one
another, each of us suited to our own way of living.
48. In the first paragraph, the Vitruvian Man is mentioned to ________.
A. introduce the topic of a perfect body
B. explain the value of a famous drawing
C. explore how to draw a picture like this
D. discuss whether the man drawn in it is perfect
49. Why does the author use Michael Phelps as an example?
A. To explain what makes a perfect swimmer.
B. To describe the rules in the swimming world.
C. To introduce a perfect body in da Vinci’s sense.
D. To compare it with the perfection that was shown in the drawing by da Vinci.
50. What can we learn from the rabbit example in Paragraph 6?
A. Physical imperfections influence the process of evolution.
B. Rabbits learn to change their fur color to avoid predators.
C. Evolution only chooses for physical perfections in living things.
D. Physical perfection in one situation can be imperfect in another.
51. Paragraphs 7 & 8 mainly talk about ________.A. born talents of several famous athletes
B. applications of physical variations in the athletic field
C. physical differences between male and female athletes
D. the importance of physical variations to athletic success
52. The purpose of the article is to ________.
A. explain the influence of da Vinci
B. argue that there is no perfect physical form
C. discuss whether some athletes are physically perfect
D. teach readers how to tell physical perfection from imperfection
