  Ⅰ.阅读理解

  In 2007, Americans read less frequently and more poorly than they had in the previous ten years, according to analysis by the National Endowment for the Arts.

  While a follow­up study in 2009 reported an encouraging rise in the number of adults reading any novels, poetry, or plays in a 12­month period, it offered no encouraging news on comprehension and made no apologies for how the bar hadn't only been lowered but dropped.

  I want to believe we high school English teachers are the thin blue line checking this trend. But I can't help considering the possibility we may be contributing to it.

  I've often thought that the modern classroom's entire reason for being is to translate individual (个人的) learning experience into social consensus (共识) or application. Otherwise, we'd simply let our students loose in well­stocked libraries and bookstores.

  Most individual experiences in reading work this way. The choice of a book reflects its availability and the reader's curiosity. I had many reasons for reading the books I did in the last six months: half were recommended (推荐), others were subjects that caught my interest or by authors whose other works I had enjoyed.

  I include my copy of The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart that I rarely go more than two weeks without spending at least 30 quality minutes reading, because really, I couldn't possibly read poetry the same way I read a book.

  Reading a book in the high school classroom is different.

  Even for habitual readers the book isn't likely one they'd pick up on their own. My 9th grade novel list includes To Kill a Mockingbird, The Chocolate War, Of Mice and Men, Night, The House on Mango Street, and Romeo and Juliet, a very standard list for 9th graders across the country. None of these books are by Stephanie Meyer, Nicholas Sparks, Suzanne Collins, or Rick Riordan, names you may be unfamiliar with, but mention them to teens who read or high school librarians and they can bring you up to speed. Also, tests, quizzes, and activities put deadlines on readers.

  Considering how wide the differences between reading on one's own and reading in a class are, I'm interested in how educators might take some aspects from the former to let high school students read just to read.

  语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。作者认为为更好地培养学生的阅读能力,老师们不应该过多干涉学生阅读。

  1.What concerns the author?

  A.The dropping number of American readers.

  B.The quality of American high school teachers.

  C.The attitude of American adults towards reading.

  D.The upsetting comprehension levels of Americans.

  解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“it offered no encouraging news on comprehension and made no apologies for how the bar hadn't only been lowered but dropped”可知,虽然最近一年来,美国读书的人多了,但是美国人的阅读理解能力却直线下滑。

  2.What did the author think of reading according to his own experience?

  A.It should be done at libraries.

  B.It should be guided by teachers.

  C.It is a unique personal experience.

  D.It is better to spend over 30 minutes on it.

  解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段开头的“Most individual experiences in reading work this way.”和作者对自己阅读经历的描述可知,作者认为读书更多的应该是一种个人经历。

  3.The names like Stephanie Meyer are mentioned to show ________.

  A.the novel list is limited

  B.they are popular with librarians

  C.their works don't appeal to teens

  D.they are familiar names in literature

  解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“but mention them to teens who read or high school librarians and they can bring you up to speed. Also, tests, quizzes, and activities put deadlines on readers”可知,作者认为学校推荐给学生的书单远远不够,应该让学生读一些其他作家的书,这样有利于他们阅读能力的提高。

  4.What is the author's suggestion?

  A.Letting kids read alone.

  B.Encouraging kids to read.

  C.Exciting kids' interest in novels.

  D.Reconsidering high school education.

  解析:选A 推理判断题。作者在文中对比了自己的读书经历和学校里学生的读书现状,并在最后一段中表达了自己的看法:let high school students read just to read。由此可知,他希望老师们不要过多干涉学生的读书过程,应该给学生多一些选择的自由。

  Ⅱ.完形填空

  Sleepwalking is most common during the preteen years and may affect 15 percent of children. It tends to run in families. For example, a child is 10 times more likely to sleepwalk if a first­degree __1__ such as a parent or a sibling (兄弟姐妹) also sleepwalks. And it's most likely to __2__ early in the night, within a few hours of falling asleep. Most __3__ outgrow (摆脱) their sleepwalking by the late teen years. Here are some ways to __4__ this nighttime behavior.

In addition, __13__ the sleepwalkers may disrupt (中断) their sleep, which in turn may cause their daytime __14__.

  Reduce stress. Most often, sleepwalking is the result of emotional __16__. When a second child is born, the older child may be __17__ of losing his parents' love. Talk with your child about __18__ in his life. If you find your child's sleepwalking might be __19__ by some stress in his life, try to __20__ it. Get the help of a mental (精神的) health expert if he needs it.

  At university I play a Dutch sport __1__ (call) korfball. This is a team sport with eight people on each team, four boys and four girls.

The aim is to shoot the ball into the hoop, which is like a netball or basketball hoop, only __4__ (high) than that! All players get a chance __5__ (attack) and defend during the game and it's very fast­paced.

  When I __6__ (start) korfball, I wasn't very good at it. I could throw and catch but I was not very fast on my feet. Shooting was also difficult for me because I'd played netball in school and was used __7__ a shorter post. Moreover, you often have to shoot on the move in korfball, and I found __8__ hard to balance and shoot straight while running backwards away from my defender!

  However, I really enjoyed the sport and made friends in the club, so I attended __9__ (train) twice a week, every week. Two years later I am in the first team for my university and have played in many matches and tournaments, even scoring some __10__ (goal) for my team! This just shows that hard work pays off — if you train hard, you can succeed.

  语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在大学里参加的一项运动——korfball。

  1.called 考查非谓语动词。call与sport之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填called。

  2.truly 考查副词。设空处修饰形容词mixed,故填副词truly(真正地)。

  3.the 考查冠词。at the same time意为“同时”。

  4.higher 考查形容词比较级。由than可知,设空处应用比较级,故填higher。

  5.to attack 考查非谓语动词。chance后常跟动词不定式作定语,故填to attack。

  6.started 考查动词时态。由主句时态可知,设空处表示的动作发生在过去,故填started。

  7.to 考查介词。be used to ...意为“习惯于……”。

  8.it 考查代词。设空处作形式宾语,真正的宾语是to balance and shoot straight ... my defender,故填it。

  9.training 考查名词。设空处作宾语,表示“训练”,故填training。

  10.goals 考查名词复数。goal在此意为“得分”,是可数名词,且由some可知,应用复数,故填goals。
