1.There are an unbelievable number of reasons to go to Greece;just like there are an unbelievable number of things to do once a traveler arrives there.Here is a look at just some of the great historical things to see when vacationing in Athens,Greece.
Agora
Agora lies in ruins now,but during its glory days it was a lively and active open marketplace where Greeks came to buy,sell,and exchange their goods and services.Agora has ties to common people of ancient Greece.Guided tours are available and there is also a small museum with many artifacts from this area on display.
Parthenon
One of the most famous landmarks in Athens is the legendary Parthenon.This building is still today admired by architects who are appreciative of the decorative design,as well as the engineering involved in its
construction.Those interested in history will be impressed beyond belief with the opportunity to see this historic structure up close and personal.
Temple of Olympian Zeus
One of the most impressive monuments to see up close is the Temple of Olympian Zeus.Many people see this monument from far away,or even from the window of a taxi,and never stop for a firsthand look themselves.This is a huge mistake as the size of it cannot truly be appreciated without visiting it up close.
Odeum of Herodes Atticus
Built into the hillside and providing a nice view of Athens is the Odeum of Herodes Atticus.This theater was constructed in the second century and was an important gathering place for both the upper and lower classes.It holds a little over 5,000 people,is located just below the Acropolis,and is still used for performances to this day. 【1】What did the ancient Greeks do in Agora? A．They did business. B．They toured around. C．They visited museums. D．They prayed for blessings.
【2】Who will show the most interest in Parthenon? A．Electrical engineers. C．Ordinary visitors.
B．Building designers. D．Religious people.
【3】How can visitors fully appreciate the Temple of Olympian Zeus?
A．By approaching it.
C．By taking a bird’s-eye view. B．By looking in the distance.
D．By seeing through a taxi window.
【4】In what way is Odeum of Herodes Atticus different from the others? A．It has great historical value. B．It has ties to common people. C．It is famous for its architecture. D．It still serves its original purpose.
2.Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being
considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another. Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.
【1】What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Inconsistent. B．Reasonable. C．Unusual. D．Similar.
【2】The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______. A．getting dirty is stylish B．looking fierce is beautiful C．strong people cut their skin D．American girls love shopping
【3】According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______. A．care a lot about their appearance B．put the beauty of eyes in the first place C．pay great attention to their ability D．are crazy about double eyelid surgery
【4】What does the text mainly tell us? A．Inner beauty is of great importance.
B．Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups. C．Different ways are needed to admire true beauty. D．Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
3.Years ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line,Albert.He said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he asked,lifting his leg.He was barefoot.He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got around to it.I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.
The next day,after work,I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks.I stuffed my trunk with them.That next morning,I set my alarm for 5 a.m.and drove over to Santa Monica’s Palisades Park,which is a common destination for homeless people.
I took one of the bags from my trunk.It was still darkout.I headed for a group of three men,standing around a
tree,probably using it as a windbreaker.Two were asleep under heavy blankets,and the third was digging through his collection.As I walked toward him,he watched me,perhaps questioning my motives.“I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,”I said,handing him a pair.He looked confused at first but took them and said,“Thank you.”I gave him two more pairs for his friends.
I moved on.An hour later,I had given out all the socks.Most people were sleeping,and I felt like Santa.I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.
That was nine years ago.Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can.If I’m on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week,I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.
It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar” to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier.Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days,but even if I don’t,I like to think one of the pairs will find him. 【1】What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless? A．Albert’s desire to get free socks. B．The approach of Christmas Day. C．His hard work at a homeless shelter. D．The conversation between him and Albert.
【2】Which is true about the author according to the passage? A．He believed it felt good to help the homeless. B．He went to Ross to buy a pair of socks for Albert.
C．He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts. D．He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks.
【3】What could be the best title for the passage? A．Santa Claus brings Christmas gifts B．Kindness is rewarded with kindness C．Every sock helps make somebody’s day D．Socks are passed on from hand to hand
4.The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was better-known as simply the ‘Booker Prize’. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping ‘Booker’.
Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be
submitted that they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee gives advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.
Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender(性别) and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known
person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been decided, they are left to make their own decisions. Meanwhile, the prize sponsor has no further right to take part in any more.
The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the￡50,000 that comes with the prize.
【1】Who can submit books to the prize? A．Judges. B．Writers. C．Readers. D．Sponsors.
【2】Why is the prize named the Man Booker Prize?
A．Because the prize is given to writers from the Commonwealth. B．Because the prize was known as simply the ‘Booker Prize’.
C．Because the prize is sponsored by the Man Group and they kept the name. D．Because the prize is aimed to award the very best contemporary fiction.
【3】Which task can be done by the Advisory Committee? A．Changing the rules for the prize on their own. B．Selecting the judging committee.
C．Making decisions on who is the winner.
D．Submitting books for consideration for the prize.
【4】The consistent quality of the prizes is guaranteed by ________. A．the prize money
B．the gender of the judges
C．the make-up of the panel of judges D．the increase in sales of the winner
二、其他
Choosing the right college for you is not so easy. You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want. The idea can guide you to find what fits your needs best. 【1】 Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that, just look at colleges that have your major.
【2】 So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.
Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isn’t important is lying.
【3】 If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please don’t consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.
Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute anything? Financial aid and scholarship exist, but don’t count on anything.
【4】 These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.
Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people. The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with.
【5】 Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people. A．College is about learning what you love. B．You’d better choose a major that is popular. C．Go to the college with some people you like.
D．Are you willing to go into major debt over a school? E. Remember, above all, it’s the people that make the place.
F. If you don’t like cold weather, stay away from northern schools.
G. These guidelines will help figure out what college you want to go to.

【名师点睛】
做好细节理解题的几点建议：
事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
①略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；
②按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；
③将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题1根据第一部分中的it was a lively and active open
marketplace where Greeks came to buy, sell, and exchange their goods and services.可知古希腊人在Agora广场进行买卖、交换商品和提供服务，在此做生意。小题3根据第三部分One of the most impressive monuments to see up close is the Temple of Olympian Zeus.可知Temple of Olympian Zeus应该近距离观赏的，远观不能很好地欣赏。
2.Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being
considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another. Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿
孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.
【1】What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Inconsistent. B．Reasonable. C．Unusual. D．Similar.
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。由第一段中的“But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another”可知，在搬到另一个大洲之后，曾经被认为漂亮的你却突然被认为很丑，原因在于每个国家对于美的看法是不同的。这是一个令人难过的事实，很多人没有意识到这一点。由此可知，该画线单词意思应接近“不同”，故A选项切题。inconsistent不一致的，相排斥的；reasonable合情合理的；unusual不同寻常的；similar相似的。
【2】The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______. A．getting dirty is stylish B．looking fierce is beautiful C．strong people cut their skin D．American girls love shopping
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“The Maasai tribe in Kenya…If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful”可知，在Maasai部落里，人们认为看起来不凶猛就不漂亮。故B项“看起来凶猛才是漂亮”正确。
【3】According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______. A．care a lot about their appearance B．put the beauty of eyes in the first place C．pay great attention to their ability D．are crazy about double eyelid surgery
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“a woman … claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense”可知，在North Korea，女人们不太关注外表的美，她们的美更多的建立在作为一个好女人和好妻子的能力之上。故可推知，在North Korea更注重的是能力。故选C。
【4】What does the text mainly tell us? A．Inner beauty is of great importance.
B．Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups. C．Different ways are needed to admire true beauty. D．Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。第一段提出话题：每个国家对于美的看法不一样。下文以Kenya的Maasai部落，North Korea等为例，证明了这个观点。故B项正确。
3.Years ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line,Albert.He said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he asked,lifting his leg.He was barefoot.He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got

Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender(性别) and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society.可知，布克奖始终如一的公信力和权威性来源于评审的组成，评委会每年都变，而且每人担任评委的机会只有一次，并努力确保性别和职业的平衡。故答案为C。 【名师点睛】
推理判断题答题技巧。解答推理判断题要以文字信息为依据，既不能作出在原文中找不到依据的推理，也不能根据
表面文字信息进行多余推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据，推论有理，忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。
细节推断题是推理判断题中比较简单的一类试题，它要求考生根据语篇中具体的内容和信息点，推断出文章中具体的细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。解答此类试题时，一般可根据短文所提供的信息或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。考生只要正确把握文章的内在关系，理解文章的真正含义，就可作出准确的推断。
对于细节推断题来说，根据文章中的关键信息点进行推断是解答此类试题的关键。考生不但要理解文章的字面含义，还要运用逻辑判断能力，推断出文章更深层的含义。同时还要根据文章内容进行推断，不能凭空猜测。考生要注意站在文章作者或文中人物的立场上，设身处地地考虑实际情景，并据此展开合理的想象和推理。主观臆断是许多考生做这类题时普遍存在的一个问题。 【考点】考查文化类文章阅读

My father is the man I respect most. Strict as he may be, however he never fails to show her care and
consideration. Once I broke a neighbor window. Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately. When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what has happened. I could only tell him a truth. Instead of scold, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize our neighbor. I learned from this incident that not only does Dad take care of my health and he also teaches me what to be a good citizen. How luckily I am to have such a good father!
【答案】
【解析】作者通过具体事例中父亲对自己的教育，表达了父亲对孩子无私的爱和关心，及孩子对父亲的尊敬感激之情。

6. scold→scolding.考查动词形式。此处用在介词of后动词用-ing形式，故scold→scolding.
7. apologize后加to.考查介词。表示“向某人道歉”用apologize to sb.，to表示“向”。故apologize后加to. 8. and→but.考查连词。此处是not only…but also的用法，表示“不但…而且”，故and→but. 9. what→how.考查副词。此处表示怎样成为好公民，表示方式用how，故what→how.
