考查特殊疑问句。How long多长，多久，对长度或一段时间提问；How old多大，对年龄提问；How many
多少，对可数名词数量提问；How much多少，多少钱，对不可数名词数量或价格提问。根据”It’s 200
yuan”可知，是对价格进行提问，因此疑问词应用How much。故选D。

visit him. During their talk, Keith said he was sad and worried about his little progress（进步）in learning the
guitar. He tried hard, but he just couldn’t improve much.
Keith asked his uncle for advice. “Follow me.” said Ryan, and he led Keith up to the high hills around the
village. This road was long and difficult, but Keith followed the old man. As they got higher, Ryan said that he
needed to go to the top of the highest hill where he had never been to. Keith was surprised but decided to help his
uncle.
With great difficulty, Keith helped his uncle climb the hill. Sometimes he even carried the old man on his
back. At the top, he put his uncle back on the ground and laughed with joy.
“Do you remember the times when you were a little boy? Sometimes you returned home with tears in your
eyes,” said Ryan. “The other children laughed at you. Do you remember why?”
Keith remembered that as a child he often played on the hills with other children. They called this hill Mount
Impossible, because small children couldn’t reach its top. “At that time I couldn’t get here. The bigger kids had no
problem.” said Keith.
“And today, you not only climbed here, but also helped me climb up.” said Ryan.“I became bigger and stronger.”
“Instead of climbing Mount Impossible every day, you played on the smaller hills and became better at
climbing. You became stronger.” said Ryan. “Mount Impossible became possible for you to climb while you didn’t
even think about it.”

What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks（把戏）usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket, anybody who walks past can
smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but they all provide（提供） trolleys. And of
course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products（产品）inside. So
we may put in other things. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So
supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick
is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually think red stickers mean lower prices, so the red stickers are
easy to be noticed, even the price is not off! Interestingly, this trick seems to work more with men than with
women.
There is a story behind the position（位置）of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often
only go to buy milk. So they put it right at the back and you need to go past hundreds of shelves full of other
products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. For example, the products that children might
like are on lower shelves so that kids can see and even reach them.
Except（除了）what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about the music you listen to? In most
supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time in the store.
So, next time you go into a supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the
things you want.
23. The smell from the bread in the supermarket can make you ________.
A. buy less bread than you need B. hungry and want to buy more things
C. want to leave the supermarket D. happy and go to the bread store
24. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Supermarkets provide trolleys because it’s easy to go shopping.
B. All the things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops.
C. Men like to buy things with red stickers more than women.
D. The products for children are usually on higher shelves.
25. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. some tricks that make people go into the supermarkets
B. several ways supermarkets use to sell more products
C. some advice when people go shopping on the street
D. several rules that every supermarket should follow
.
【答案】23 B 24. C 25. A【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了超市通过手推车、贴红色的标签、把贵重的物品摆在明面、放舒缓的音乐等方法
让你多购物，并建议我们下次去超市时，要记得这些技巧。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.”可知超市里面包的味道
让我们感到饥饿，进而准备买很多食物。故选B。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Customers usually think red stickers mean lower prices, so the red stickers are easy to be
noticed...Interestingly, this trick seems to work more with men than with women.”可知男人比女人更喜欢买带有
红色贴纸的东西。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知这篇文章主要是关于让人们走进超市的一些技巧。故选A。
D
Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or clean the floor.
In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a
parenting educator and family coach（指导）. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn’t
worth（值得）doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t clean the floor if they see it is
dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort（努力）,” Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s
important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility（责任）to keep our home clean.”
Other people have different ideas. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more
chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital（电子的）
gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the Chore Monster, kids get digital points after they do chores.
Kids can exchange（交换）their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the shop.”
Our goal is to encourage kids to do chores so they can get rewards, “ says Joe Black, the founder（创始人）of
Chore Monster.” Kids need positive（积极的）power to make them do chores.”
26. The word “rewards” in paragraph 1 means ________.
A. reasons B. prizes C. shows D. excuses
27. Jane Smith thinks that ________.
A. housework isn’t worth doing B. parents should do chores at homeC. kids should get something in return D. kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores
28. What’s the purpose of the apps mentioned in the passage?
A. To encourage kids to do chores. B. To let kids play more video games.
C. To give kids digital points and gifts. D. To make kids keep their home clean.
【答案】26. B 27. D 28. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了孩子做家务应不应该给予奖励的问题，有些人认为做家务给
予奖励会让孩子淡漠家庭责任，有些人认为可以给孩子奖励。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前面“In return”和后文“such as 20 minutes to play computer games”可知，孩子们通过做
家务可以从父母那里得到钱或其他的奖励，故划线部分意为“奖励”。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of
them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach（指导）. She believes if kids get rewards, they may
think that work isn’t worth（值得）doing unless you get something in return.”可知，简•史密斯认为孩子们做家
务不应该得到报酬。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段开始“Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores.”可知，短文中提到
应用程序的目的是为了鼓励孩子们做家务。 故选A。
四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。（29--31 题每题2分, 32题4分, 共10分）
根据短文内容回答问题。
For more than seventy years, psychologists（心理学家）and teachers have studied the link（联系）between
the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners.
At the back
People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy（懒惰的）. But some researchers say it is not. In
fact, shy students often choose the back row because they probably won’t speak much. In big classrooms, it can be
hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often
get lower grades on tests and exams.At the side
Students who choose to sit on the sides of the classroom are usually gentle（文静的）and thoughtful. They
are usually interested in class. They like watching and listening but they don’t like joining in. These students are
usually also very good at taking notes. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in
learning.
In the middle
Do you sit in the middle of the classroom? Then you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a
good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful students usually choose to sit in the middle.
They are usually serious（认真的）about learning and feel disappointed（失望的）with low grades on tests and
exams.
At the front
Students at the front usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject.
They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. But it can be difficult to see
and hear what other students do and say in class.
Now, think about where you sit and how you fit.
29. Why do shy students often choose the back row?
_________________________________________
30. Are the students who sit at the side usually good at taking notes?
_________________________________________
31. Where do students probably sit if they like their teacher?
_________________________________________
32. Where do you like sitting in the classroom? Why? （Write at least two reasons.）
_________________________________________
【答案】29. Because they probably won’t speak much.
30. Yes. 31. In the middle.
32. At the front. Because I want to discuss some things with the teacher, and I want to see and hear everything that
the teacher does and says in the best place.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了心理学家和教师们研究了学生们选择课堂上的座位，表现出他们
不同的个性。
【29题详解】
根据“But some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because they probablywon’t speak much. ”可知因为他们可能不会说太多。故填Because they probably won’t speak much.
【30题详解】
根据“These students are usually also very good at taking notes.”可知这些学生通常也很擅长做笔记。故填Yes.
【31题详解】
根据“Do you sit in the middle of the classroom? Then you probably like your teacher.”可知喜欢老师的学生可
能坐在教室中间。故填In the middle.
【32题详解】
开放性题。例如：我喜欢坐在前排。因为我想和老师讨论一些事情，想在最好的地方看到和听到老师所
做和所说的一切。故填At the front. Because I want to discuss some things with the teacher, and I want to see and
hear everything that the teacher does and says in the best place.
