Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center，boys and girls! First let me tell you something about guide dogs.
In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind.The doctor went in the hospital for a short time.When he came out，he saw his pet had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely.So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well.Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.
Dorothy，an American woman，went to Germany to find out more about the guide dogs.When she came back to the United States，she wrote about it in a magazine.Soon more people knew about the guide dogs.
The best dogs for the job are clever and fit.It takes more than 2 years to train a little dog to be a guide dog.When the dog is 14 months old，it learns many instructions.Then the owner and the dog meet，and they practice for 4 weeks.
Have I made myself clear?OK，let’s go on visiting.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield (布雷区)，where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.
1.Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible (看不见的) advantage
You’ve probably seen that stores keep go-to items—produce，meats，dairy—on the outer edge.But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise (逆时针)? Ninety percent of us are right-handed，so we buy more when it’s counterclockwise.You’ll also often find the dairy section in the back left corner：Because dairy is likely on your list，stores make sure you take the longest route to get there.In fairness，it’s also a more convenient place to put a fridge.
2.Everything is in its place
It’s safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance.The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement.More expensive items are usually placed at an adult’s eye level，while colorful treats and other products for kids are positioned lower—to catch the attention of children.
3.Time goes by so slowly
Stores rarely have windows or clocks.With no reference to the outside world，customers can easily lose track of how long they’ve been there so that they can buy more.Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷砖).
4.Goods are an art form
Grocers know exactly what shade of banana you’re most likely to buy.To ensure the bananas on display are the closest to this shade，stores use a ripeness scale that ranges from one (all green) to seven (yellow with brown spots).Some stores even use special lighting to make bananas look more appealing.As for the water sprayed on the other produce? It makes veggies look fresh，but keeping them wet actually makes them rot faster.It also makes produce heavier—and therefore pricier.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了商店不为人知的营销策略。
21.Why do stores usually put dairy in the back left corner?
A.Because it is a quiet place.
B.To make people buy more.
C.To attract people’s attention.
D.Because most people are right-handed.
答案 B [细节理解题。由第二段中的Because dairy is likely on your list，stores make sure you take the longest route to get there可知，商场之所以把乳制品放到后面的左拐角处主要是因为人们常买乳制品，把乳制品放到远的地方可以使顾客走很长的路并可能在沿途买其他的东西。]
22.You are more likely to find toys________.
A.in corners B.on lower shelves
C.at an adult’s eye level D.at the end of a passage
答案 B [推理判断题。由第三段末的colorful treats and other products for kids are positioned lower—to catch the attention of children可推断，玩具最可能放到较低的地方以吸引孩子们的目光。]
23.Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?
A.They are useless.
B.There is no space for them.
C.To make customers stay longer.
D.To allow customers to enjoy themselves.
答案 C [细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的With no reference...they can buy more可知，商店之所以通常没有窗户或钟表主要是为了让顾客忘记时间，从而逛得更久。]
24.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Secrets of stores
B.Advantages of stores
C.How to shop in stores
D.How to operate a store
答案 A [标题归纳题。由文章开头的Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield及下文可知，本文主要讲商店的秘密营销策略，即如何运用心理学知识摆放商品从而促使消费者购买更多商品。]
B
When a new school year began in August，students in four classes were greeted by a new teacher.The human resources department had worked on through the summer to attract new teachers.Staff members made out-of-state recruiting (招收) trips.The district changed its website and asked local people to tap their families and friends for job candidates.“We were leaving no stone unturned，” said Dave Ostash，assistant of human resources.Still，when the bell rang on the first day of class，they went short of four teachers.
After years of hiring freezes，schools in the U.S.are in urgent need of more qualified teachers.In California，which educates more children than any other state，the number of teaching certificates issued (签发) has dropped by half in the past decade.The state’s school districts estimate (估计) they will need 21，000 new teachers annually over the next five years.
School administrators and academic researchers point to a variety of reasons for the shortages.During the past years，many districts cut down jobs and are unwilling to recruit new graduates.Debate over testing and renewing lowest performing schools has circled back to teachers.People go to well-paid jobs，jobs that are more respected.Elena Avila，24，a first-time kindergarten teacher at Union Avenue Elementary School in Los Angeles，said she had wanted to be a teacher since an early age，but began to doubt the decision as she got older.She got a degree in classical studies and volunteered before making up her mind.
To fill their vacancies (空缺)，districts are trying everything to attract new teachers.The Fresno Unified School District in California’s San Joaquin Valley has begun advertising openings at movie theaters.At Sierra Sands Unified，half of the new employees are not fully certified (证明合格的);they’re working towards alternative certifications while they teach.It wasn’t until three weeks into the school year that all the vacancies were filled.For the four newest teachers，there was no time to prepare，only dive in.“They’re going and hitting__the__ground__running，” Ostash said.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。美国的很多学校出现了教师短缺的问题。当问题来临时，很多地方都开始想办法解决教师短缺的问题。
25.How many teachers will California recruit in the next five years?
A.21，000. B.42，000.
C.84，000. D.105，000.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的...they will need 21，000 new teachers annually over the next five years可知，未来五年加利福尼亚需要105 000名教师。]
26.What caused the shortage of qualified teachers?
A.The schools offered higher paid jobs.
B.Teachers are more respected than others.
C.Many districts refused to hire new graduates.
D.The temperature of schools dropped to freezing point.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的...many districts cut down jobs and are unwilling to recruit new graduates可知，很多社区拒绝招收新教师导致了教师的缺乏。]
27.What measure did the Fresno Unified School District take to attract new teachers?
A.They went to some colleges.
B.They asked local people for help.
C.They put ads in movie theaters.
D.They gave teachers certifications.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，他们在剧院设立广告来招聘老师。]
28.The underlined part “hitting the ground running” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.turning to other people for some help
B.setting about doing something right away
C.getting well prepared for doing something
D.looking forward to succeeding with pleasure
答案 B [词义猜测题。根据第四段中的For the four newest teachers，there was no time to prepare，only dive in可知，这四位新老师没有经过培训就开始工作，因此hitting the ground running这个短语意为“立即做某事”。]
C
In 2011，a law was born.A type of ladybug (瓢虫) became the state insect of North Dakota.When the governor signed the bill into law，four kids stood behind him.These second-grade students had helped create a law!
Jaden McNeiley，Logan Redding，Megan Zimmer，and Isabel Sieg were in first grade when their idea for a law was born.They were studying the ladybug in school.
Megan and Logan were farm kids and knew something about the ladybug already.They knew that farmers had a problem with crop-eating pests called aphids (蚜虫) and that ladybugs ate aphids.The more ladybugs were around，the fewer chemicals the farmers had to use.
The kids were reading an article on the computer when they saw a link that led to a list of state insects.They clicked on the link and couldn’t believe their eyes.North Dakota did not have a state insect!
The kids decided that a kind of ladybug called the convergent lady beetle should be their state insect.This ladybug was of great benefit to their farming state and it deserved a place of honor.But they had no idea how to create a law.So they asked their teacher for help.Their teacher knew their local state representative.When they all met，the representative told the kids they would have to present facts and solid reasons to convince lawmakers that North Dakota needed the ladybug as its state insect.
The students spent much of that first grade spring researching ladybugs.Their teacher ordered ladybug larvae (幼虫).They watched the larvae develop into adults.To learn more，they talked to scientists who study insects.The children say their research was hard work and they loved it.“Even if we hadn’t gotten what we wanted，” says Jaden，“even if the bill hadn’t passed，it was worth it.”
The students want everyone to know that kids can make a difference.“Whether you are 8 or 80，” says Isabel，“you have a voice in your community.” “Believe in your dreams，” say Jaden and Megan.“But make sure you are ready to do work to back them up!” adds Logan.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。四个小学生促使瓢虫成为美国北达科他州的州虫。
29.Before studying the ladybug in school，Megan and Logan already knew________.
A.how to create a law
B.the advantages of aphids
C.the state insects of the U.S.
D.how ladybugs benefit people
答案 D [推理判断题。由第三段中的They knew that...the fewer chemicals the farmers had to use可推断，这两名学生此前就知道瓢虫有益于人类。]
30.How did the four kids feel when they saw the list of state insects?
A.Surprised. B.Excited.
C.Happy. D.Proud.
答案 A [推理判断题。由第四段末的couldn’t believe their eyes.North Dakota did not have a state insect可推断，孩子们看到州虫列表时很惊讶——北达科他州居然没有州虫。]
31.Why did the four kids choose the convergent lady beetle as their state insect?
A.Because it looks beautiful.
B.Because they knew it very well.
C.Because of their teacher’s advice.
D.Because of its contribution to farming.
答案 D [细节理解题。由第五段中的This ladybug was of great benefit to their farming state and it deserved a place of honor可知，他们之所以选该种瓢虫作为州虫是因为这种瓢虫对该州的农业很有好处。]
D
Nobody likes feeling lonely，and isolation (孤立) isn’t only a psychological problem.Loneliness increases a person’s risk of death by 26 percent，an effect comparable to the health risks posed by obesity.
So some researchers are investigating what it is，exactly，that makes lonely people stay lonely.One long-held theory has been that people become socially isolated because of their poor social skills—as they spend more time alone，the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use.But new research suggests that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the socially isolated.It’s just that when they’re in situations where they need those skills the most，they choke.
Professor Megan L.Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates，showing them 24 faces on a computer screen and asking them to name the basic human emotion each face was showing：anger，fear，happiness，or sadness.In the end，the lonelier students did worse than the non-lonely students on the emotion-reading task—but only when they were told they were being tested on their social skills.When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test，they performed better than the non-lonely.
So the lonelier people are，the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice.Lonely people may be paying closer attention to emotional cues (暗示) precisely because of their willingness to belong somewhere and form interpersonal connections，which results in technically superior social skills.
This presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people.It’s not that they need to improve the basics of social skills，which they’ve likely already shared.Instead，lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads，so they can actually use the skills they’ve got to form friendships and begin to find a way out of their isolation.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。一项研究表明孤独的人更擅长解读人的情感。
32.According to the traditional point of view，why do lonely people stay lonely?
A.They are happy to stay alone.
B.They are difficult to get along with.
C.They have few chances to practice social skills.
D.They are likely to misunderstand others’ opinion.
答案 C [细节理解题。由第二段中的One long-held theory...the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use可知，传统观点认为，孤独的人之所以孤独是因为他们缺少与人交往的机会，导致社会技能退化。]
33.In the test mentioned in Paragraph 3，the lonely performed better when they________.
A.felt not very lonely
B.were under great pressure
C.were told it was a test on social skills
D.did not know the real purpose of the test
答案 D [细节理解题。由第三段末句When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test，they performed better than the non-lonely可知，当孤独的人不知道测试的真实意图时他们在测试中的表现更好。]
34.Compared to non-lonely people，lonely people________.
A.can better control their emotions
B.can better express their emotions
C.can better read people’s emotions
D.can better handle people’s emotions
答案 C [推理判断题。由第三段中的实验结果及第四段首句So the lonelier people are，the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice可推断，孤独的人更擅长解读人们的情感。]
35.What inspiration may lonely people get from the text?
A.Be brave to make friends.
B.Show sincerity in friendship.
C.Find ways to learn social skills.
D.Make good use of your lonely time.
答案 A [推理判断题。由最后一段中的lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads，so they can actually use the skills they’ve got to form friendships...可推断，孤独的人应该勇敢地交友。]
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The writer’s block
Whatever it is you have to write，the idea of a blank page—or screen—can be very discouraging.Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writer’s block.
1.Think before you write.
Before you actually start，think about what you want to say，why you want to say it and who you are going to say it to.The most important question to ask is: what response do I want to get?__36__It may be a memo(备忘录) at work.In that case，your main aim is that your reader will be able to get the most important information quickly.
2.Keep it short and to the point.
Use short，simple sentences，written for maximum effect.Make sure that everything you say is relevant to your main aim or message.If you can’t，it’s probably because you’re not really sure of exactly what you want to say.__37__
3.Avoid repetition.
You may feel that a point needs stressing，and that you therefore want to repeat it just to make sure it sinks in.Don’t.It’s much better to make sure you expressed yourself clearly and simply the first time round.__38__
4.Choose your style carefully.
This takes us back to the first point.__39__ If you know them personally，then you’ll also know how best to write to them.Make sure your style reflects both your relationship with your reader and your attitude to what you’re writing.If you’re writing to an anonymous (不知姓名的) audience，keep your style neutral (中立的).Remember that first impressions are vital.__40__And of course，the wrong choice can do quite the opposite!
A.Remember your reader!
B.Try reading your text aloud to yourself.
C.It’ll make your text much easier to process.
D.And if you don’t know，your readers definitely won’t!
E.The answer to that obviously depends on what you’re writing.
F.The right choice of words and tone can help you get off to a great start.
G.If something really needs to be said again，at least find a different way to do so.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章给出了一些写作方面的建议。
36.E [E项中的that指代上文的问句what response do I want to get?你想要得到的回应取决于所写的是什么内容。]
37.D [D项与上文的If you can’t，it’s probably because you’re not really sure of exactly what you want to say相呼应。]
38.G [G项是对上文关于写作时应避免重复的建议的补充说明。]
39.A [第一点建议强调了写作时要注意写作对象是谁;且下文的them指读者。据此可推断，A项恰当。]
40.F [F项与下文的And of course，the wrong choice can do quite the opposite!相呼应。]

第Ⅱ卷
第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There are many times we need to shut up，__61__other words，keep quiet as much as possible.Have I personally mastered this? No! But I am trying.If you were to ask any of my children whether I can shut up，they __62__(say) quite the opposite.They have a standard joke，__63__they find particularly funny.As I am about to say something extremely __64__(importance)，all of them roll their eyes to the ceiling and one will say loudly，“Now，which chapter of Mum’s books is this?” This has the effect of immediately __65__(shut) me up.
Shutting up means letting go of the control.Of course，you need to use your judgement.You__66__(certain) won’t shut up if he hits your car，or she gets seriously __67__(drink).But for everyday conversations and interactions，don’t feel you have to use every opportunity to instruct.Let some of the __68__(issue) go.Letting go of some control allows your teenager __69__(communicate) further.If he doesn’t feel judged，criticised or corrected then he may just begin sharing __70__(many) than his three favourite words—“fine”，“nothing” and “later”.
答案 61.in [考查介词。shut up与keep quiet as much as possible表达的是同样的意思，故填in。in other words意为“换句话说”。]
62.would/could/should/might say [考查虚拟语气。由条件从句中的were to ask可知，本句表示对将来情况的假设，故主句中的谓语动词应用 “would/could/should/might 动词原形”。]
63.which [考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰joke，且在从句中作宾语，故填which。]
64.important [考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作something的后置定语，故填important。]
65.shutting [考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作of的宾语，且shut up与me之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填shutting。]
66.certainly [考查副词。设空处修饰谓语，意为“肯定地”，故填certainly。]
67.drunk [考查过去分词作表语的用法。设空处意为“喝醉了的”，故填drunk。]
68.issues [考查名词。由some of the可知设空处应填名词的复数形式。]
69.to communicate [考查不定式作宾语补足语的用法。allow sb to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”。]
70.more [考查形容词的比较级。由than可知此处应填many的比较级more。]
