今年的选材是关于师生的，与学生的学习生活比较贴近，更容易让学生产生共鸣，选项集中于形容词，副词，动词，副词，短语等词义辨析。

四篇阅读理解文体各不相同，A篇是一个关于“蓝色都市”国际文学节的明细通知，这篇阅读是根据国外网站的一篇文章改编的，题目较简单，基本能在文中找到。

B篇说明文，也是之前比较热的一个话题，一位年轻人发明了一个便携式的移动冰箱，并且不打算申请专利的事情。

C篇是一个记叙文，话题与时下热点话题校园欺凌有关。

D篇是议论文，内容是关于如何公正地评判别人。

从选材和话题来看，阅读理解选取的文章主要是时下热点话题或者一些为人处世的态度。

The Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, 5151 Cote St. on WednesdayBA 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world.Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges youngpeople to “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transporta tion is the primary function(功能) of his invention..26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?A. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________.A. old scientists who have developed modern technology.B. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No.Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want to become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). Y ou don’t have to wait to live. Do something today.29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behavesselfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?A. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Got a Reason to Judge4.任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word ‘sorry’—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying ‘Sorry to bot her you. Do you know what time it is?’ If they’re five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying ‘Sorry I’m late!’They use the word ‘sorry’ in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of ‘sorry’ are: 1) feeling sad44.To protect the earth, we mustn’t throw away the waste _____________ (care).B) 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。

Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blooddonations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function(功能) of his invention..26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?A. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________.A. old scientists who have developed modern technology.B. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No.Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want to become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). Y ou don’t have to wait to live. Do something today.29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomesunfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behav ior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?A. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Got a Reason to Judgeof ●The two main dictionary definitions of ‘sorry’;feeling sad for others’ problems or b ad luckfeeling regret because of one’s own ___37____●When British people ask a stranger aquestion by starting with ‘sorry’, they are saying sorry ____38____ because they feel sad for that person nor because they feel regret.The ____39____ meaning of ‘sorry’● a way to be polite● a good way to get what they wantThe result of an experiment shows it’s easier for one to ____40____ in borrowing a mobile phone by saying ‘sorry’.36.__________ 37. __________ 38. __________ 39. __________ 40. __________5.词汇：题目：A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。
