The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years,
dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water
pistol.
I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
"Please bring that pistol to me," I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box."
"What's that?" they asked.
"It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren," I replied,
"You don't have grandchildren," someone said.
"I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."
My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me to
describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken
away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would
return the belonging.
The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then
someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions
back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."
I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They
enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large,
beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.
4. What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?
A. To collect the water pistol.
B. To talk about her grandchildren.
C. To recommend some toys.
D. To explain her teaching method.
5. What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?
A. The student's parent.
B. The maker of the Grandma's Box.
C. The author's grandchild.
D. The owner of the forbidden fruit.
6. What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?
A. They went to play with the baby.
B. They asked to see the Grandma's Box.
C. They made a present for Gordon.
D. They stopped asking their toys back.
7. What can we infer about the author?
A. She enjoys telling jokes.
B. She is a strict and smart teacher.
C. She loves doing woodwork.
D. She is a responsible grandmother
C
In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so
people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as
800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something
terrible：the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry.
Worse, it was beginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of
people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.
The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to
engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about
disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the
sinking of the Titanic.
Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or
engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context
in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality
materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with
seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.
Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion
of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
"Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.
8. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?
A. It carried more weight than it could.
B. It swayed violently in a strong wind
C. Its roadway was damaged by vehicles
D. Its access was blocked by many people.
9. Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?
A. No design is well received everywhere
B. Construction is more important than design.
C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering design
D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Failure can lead to progress.
B. Success results in overconfidence
C. Failure should be avoided.
D. Success comes from joint efforts.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report
B. A short story.
C. A book review
D. A research article.
D
Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a
single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480
varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant
amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall
trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest
animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually
touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and
make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump
or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is
actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches
of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-
your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours,
streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of
rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen.
B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed.
D. They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A. Heavy rains
B. Big trees.
C. Small plants.
D. Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight.
B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection.
D. For the detection of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests
B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon
D. Weather in Rainforests

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town
had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other
meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She
knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine
to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed,
his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was
Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his
mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn
money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I
have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell
you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make
popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years,
dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water
pistol.
I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
"Please bring that pistol to me," I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box."
"What's that?" they asked.
"It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren," I replied,
"You don't have grandchildren," someone said.
"I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."
My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me to
describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken
away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would
return the belonging.
The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then
someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions
back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."
I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They
enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large,
beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.
4. What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?
A. To collect the water pistol.
B. To talk about her grandchildren.
C. To recommend some toys.
D. To explain her teaching method.
5. What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?
A. The student's parent.
B. The maker of the Grandma's Box.
C. The author's grandchild.
D. The owner of the forbidden fruit.

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲叙了作者为收集学生们带到学校的玩具，想出了一个“奶奶的盒子”的办
法。到后来，作者的第一个孙子出生，学生们也不再来要求归还他们的财物了，作者也在某一年圣诞节收
到了儿子制作的大木箱，将“奶奶的盒子”变成了现实。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of
"forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.(在缺席了15 年之后，我又
回到了教书的地方，处理从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”。现在流行的是水枪)”以及第三段中
“‘Please bring that pistol to me,’ I said. ‘I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box.’(“请把那支水枪给我，”我
说。“我要把它放在我‘奶奶的盒子’里。”)”由此可知，作者与学生进行对话的目的是收集水枪。故选
A。
【5 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I would return the belonging”结合上文提到作者把学生带到学校的玩具称
为“禁果”，且作者的“盒子”里装的就是“禁果”，所以作者等到这些禁果的拥有者在一天结束的时候
出现，然后就会归还他们的物品。由此可知，划线词意思为“禁果的拥有者”。故选D。
【6 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students
would say, ‘That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon.’(从那时起，学生们不再来要求归还他们的财
物，而是说：“没关系。把它放在你“奶奶给戈登的盒子”里)”由此可知，学生们在得知了戈登的出生
后，他们不再索要玩具。故选D。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中作者要收集学生们从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”，说明作者对待学生很严
格；同时作者又想出了“奶奶的盒子”这个的方法来收集学生们的玩具，说明作者很聪明，由此可推知，
作者是一个严格而聪明的老师。故选B。
C
In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so
people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as
800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something
terrible：the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry.
Worse, it was beginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of
people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.
The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to
engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about
disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the
sinking of the Titanic.
Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or
engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context
in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality
materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with
seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.
Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion
of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
"Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.
8. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?
A. It carried more weight than it could.
B. It swayed violently in a strong wind
C. Its roadway was damaged by vehicles
D. Its access was blocked by many people.
9. Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?
A. No design is well received everywhere
B. Construction is more important than design.
C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering design
D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Failure can lead to progress.
B. Success results in overconfidence
C. Failure should be avoided.
D. Success comes from joint efforts.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report
B. A short story.
C. A book review
D. A research article.
【答案】8. A
9. C
10. A
11. C
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。主要讲述了对彼得罗斯基博士的书《原谅设计：理解失败》的评论，工程设计可能会因
为某些原因带来失败，但失败才能带来进步。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was
closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show
up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge,
engineers noticed something terrible：the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it
had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway”可以看出，1987 年5 月，金门大桥举行了一个
50 岁生日聚会。这座桥禁止机动车通行，人们可以在桥上散步。组织者预计将有5 万人到场。相反，多达
80 万人挤满了通往大桥的道路。当25 万人在桥上时，工程师们注意到了一个可怕的现象：路面在被要求
承载的最重荷载作用下变得平了。更糟的是，它开始晃动。因此可以看出，金门大桥50 岁生日那天，它
的重量超过了它的承受能力。故选A。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person
who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to
consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is
constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted
elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all
anymore.”可知，虽然他承认工程设计可能会因为那些想出或设计它们的人只是把事情弄错了失败，但在
这本书中，彼得罗斯基博士拓宽了他的视野，考虑了这种失败发生的更大背景。有时，由于一个好的设计
是用不合格的低质量材料建造的，所以装置会失败。或者，一个设计工作得如此好，以至于在其他地方一
次又一次地被采用，用似乎是无害的改进，直到突然间，它完全不起作用了。因此可以推测出，根据第三
段，不是所有的灾难都是由工程设计引起的是彼得罗斯基博士的想法。故选C。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的 “It is failure that brings improvement.”可知，失败才能带来进步。因此
可以看出，A 项与此相呼应，即失败能带来进步，故选A。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, a book
that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns.”可知，这个故事是《原谅设
计：理解失败》一书中的一个，这本书既是对工程的一封情书，也是对其崩溃的赞歌。并且后面两段都在
写这本书里的内容以及评价，再根据倒数第二段的“Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard
before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the
ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.”可知，读者不仅会遇到他们以前听过的故事，还会遇到
一些新的故事和关于工程师对公众的责任以及如何帮助年轻工程师掌握它们的动人讨论。再结合最后一段
“It is failure that brings improvement.”可知，失败才能带来进步。因此可以推测出，这些内容都是关于这
本书的评论，因为这篇文章是书评，故选C。
D
Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a
single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480
varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant
amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall
trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest
animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually
touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and
make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump
or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is
actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches
of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-
your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours,
streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of
rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen.
B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed.
D. They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A. Heavy rains
B. Big trees.
C. Small plants.
D. Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight.
B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection.
D. For the detection of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests
B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon
D. Weather in Rainforests
【答案】12. D
13. B

【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival;
the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller
plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and
strong winds.得知，热带雨林有自己完美的生存体系，高大的树木有枝干，树叶的树冠层保护树木本
身、小植物、动物们免受大雨和太阳强风带来的干燥热浪的伤害。可知，大树有助于热带雨林生存，故选
B。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree
diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars.得知，科学家们认为这
是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让比如毛毛虫这种食用树叶的昆虫难以生存。可以判断出不同树木的树叶
和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护，故选C。
【15 题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先讲述了热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。其次，热带雨林
就是地球的肺——它吸纳了大量的二氧化碳，并制造了全球氧气的很大部分。然后，雨林可以自我形成所
需降雨的75%，而庞大的热带雨林湿气则可以形成雨云，这些雨云则可以飘往那些缺雨水的国家。可以判
断出本文最佳标题是“给予生命的热带雨林”，故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town
had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other
meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She
knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine
to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed,
his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was
Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his
mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn
money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I
have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell
you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make
popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

【答案】When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local
supermarket together. They bought a bag of corn and some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they
made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told
Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very
happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and
sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs.
Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and
salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of
Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
