第一节 阅读理解
(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to
it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach
pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush
hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their
way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was
musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few
seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a
woman threw the money in the till without stopping, and continued
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen
to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again.
Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His
mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at
the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child
continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was
repeated by several other children. All the parents, without
exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and
stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk
their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and
silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was
there any recognition.
&No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua
Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just
played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin
worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out
at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the metro station
was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social
experiment.
The outlines were: in a commonplace（普通的） environment at an
inappropriate hour: Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate
it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?
&One of the possible conclusions from this
experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen
to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music
ever written, how many other things are we missing?”
26. Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing
because____________.

27. When children stopped to look at the violinist, their
parents ____________.

D. would urge them to continue walking
28. Which of the following is true about Joshua Bell’s
performance?

B. Nobody recognized him.
C.Nobody appreciated it
D. Nobody organized it
29.Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to

Kids undergo a large amount of pressure and stress during their
school exams, which can often become quite overwhelming for them.
It may be the first experience of stress, at this level, they have
ever experienced and therefore quite frightening. Yes, you may say
that it's all a part of growing up and therefore good lessons for
them to learn, and to an extent I agree with you. However, it’s
important to learn how to prepare for life’s challenges so that
they aren’t overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage
them the best we can.
Here are some tips you can use during your kids exam time.
Break their revision plan down into small parts. Doing this will
help transform what once seemed like a huge impossible task into a
more manageable one.
Help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the
least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked
once they are out of the way, it will help reduce the
Plan week on week to make sure they are on track. Ticking items
of a list each week will help them to feel good about themselves
and their progress.
Create rewards for all the ticks - a favourite TV programme, a
delicious snack, an hour’s surfing the Internet, computer games or
whatever it was that they enjoy the most. This will encourage them
to carry on and make them feel good.
Think of strategies on how to deal with exams calmly so their
anxieties don't get the better of them.
Talk about times in their lives when they had been successful at
something and look at the qualities they used to get them there -
determination, persistence, hard work, patience, positivity,
dedication - discuss how they can apply these skills to their
Acknowledge that if they do their best that is good enough
Ensure they realize that this period in their lives will pass
and that exams are only a temporary nothing
can and does last forever.
Ensure they keep their eye on the prize: enjoying their long
summer holiday when th giving them something
to look forward to will help to motivate them and provide a
positive end in sight.

The rise in smartphones（智能手机）among young people may be having a
direct effect on how successful they become as adults.
Research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has discovered
the average university student checks their phones 11 times per
lesson, and more than 80 per cent believe this tech addiction is
interfering with their learning.
A quarter of students across five U.S states also blamed poor
grades in exams specifically on the fact they used mobile
devices（设备） when they should have been concentrating and revising -
and these grades could determine the jobs they end up going
Barney McCoy, an associate professor of broadcasting at the
university, surveyed 777 students at six universities across five
states about how they used digital devices in the classroom.
The students were from UNL and the University of Nebraska at
Omaha in Nebraska, Morningside College in Iowa, the University of
North Carolina, the University of Kansas and the University of
Mississippi.
Around two thirds said they used phones, tablets and laptops for
“non-classroom purposes” up to ten times during a typical
university day, while 15 per cent admitted this figure was closer
to 30 times.
Among the top reasons why students checked their devices so
regularly were staying connected and fighting boredom, at 55 per
cent. Less than half said the devices were used for classwork.
Texting was the most popular distraction（注意力分散） technique at 86
per cent, while 68 per cent said they used their phones to check
personal emails. Two thirds used social networks, 38 per cent
surfed the web and eight per cent admitted to playing games when
they should have been studying.
Despite eight out of ten students admitting their devices were
distracting, fewer than five per cent considered it to be a “very
big” distraction.
“I don’t think students necessarily think it’s a big problem,”
said McCoy said. “They think it’s part of their lives.”
“It’s become automatic behaviour on the part of so many people -
they do it without even thinking about it.”
He continued, “They’ve got their laptops open, but they’re not
always taking notes. Some might have two screens open -- Facebook
and their notes.”
36. The majority of the students think that using smartphones
_________ .
A. helps to improve their grades.
B. contributed to their poor grades.
C. has a bad effect on their studies.
D. determines their jobs in the future.
37. How many students surveyed used digital devices for
“non-classroom purposes” about 30 times during a day?
D. Less than 388
38. _________ was the most popular form of distraction.
A. Texting&&&
B. playing
games&&& C.
surfing the
Checking personal emails
39. Which of the following is true?
A. Barney McCoy surveyed 777 students at the university he works
B. A minority of the students said they used digital devices for
classwork.
C. Around two thirds admitted they used digital devices because
lessons are boring.
D. Barney McCoy thinks students’ using digital devices is not a
big problem.
40. The text is most likely to be found in a section about
_________ .
A. successful people& B. political systems
&C. science and technology &D.
historical events
Engineers David Sheffield and Doug Watt volunteer for a charity
group called Remap. It designs technology to help disabled
The two engineers are designing a wheelchair for Shot Put
thrower Shaun Sewell. He lost the use of his legs thirteen years
ago in a motorcycle accident. David Sheffield predicts the new
wheelchair design will be used as a model for future athletes. He
says, “We were asked to make a chair which was totally adjustable
in every way so that we could then use it not only just for Shaun
but for other athletes. And then we could find the exact correct
positions for the way they sit, the way they hold the pole, the way
they lean back and so on.”
The engineers took all of Shaun Sewell’s measurements so that
the chair was perfectly designed for his body. They also spent time
watching him throw, to see how his body moves and where extra
support was needed.
Shaun Sewell almost went to the Paralympic Games（残奥会） in Beijing
in 2008. But he was unable to compete because of a life-threatening
infection（感染）. He hopes to attend the 2016 games in Rio de Janiero.
And he says the new wheelchair could help him get there. He says,
“I believe it's going to make a huge difference. I'm throwing
really well with the frame that I have now, which is not right for
me. So to have something right is only going to help improve
my distance.”
Peter Parry, chairman of the trustees at Remap, says its
volunteers built devices for three of the athletes at the
Paralympic Games in London. He says there are many rules about what
technology is permitted. He says, “We can help them support
themselves. We can provide them with the pole to help them balance
their body. But what we can’t do is to have things like springs or
hydraulics（液压装置）, which would give them an unfair advantage，
because then it becomes a battle of who can make the best device
rather than who is the best athlete.”
41. The Engineers make the wheelchair adjustable in order
that_______ .
A. it could be used easily by Shaun Sewell.
B. it could also be used by other disabled athletes
C. they could take all of Shaun Sewell’s measurements
D. Shaun Sewell could compete in the Paralympic Games
42. Which of the following is true about Shaun Sewell?
A. He became disabled in a traffic accident.
B. He is one of the designers of the wheelchair.
C. He won a prize in the Beijing Paralympic Games.
D. He is recognized as a model for future athletes
43. What does the underlined part “to have something right” (in
Paragraph 4) mean?
A. To have a good shot.
B. To have a better coach.
C. To own a suitable wheelchair.
D. To attend the 2016 games in Rio de Janiero.
44. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______ .
A. Designing devices is a battle of who can make the best
B. the designers must consider the fairness of the
competition
C. using the new wheelchair means winning the Paralympic
D. the designers can use any technology to ensure paralympians’
45. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea
of the passage?
A. A Magic Wheelchair Designed for Disabled Athletes.
B. A Wheelchair Designed to Develop the Best Athletes.
C. Two Engineers Working as Volunteers for Charity Group.

labour for encouraging violence against anti-black laws in 1962.
Two years later, he was sentenced to prison for life for being one
of the ANC leaders, but after being released from prison in 1990,
he continued to make efforts to achieve the dream of making black
and white people equal. Owing to his great work, not only did he
win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, but he was also elected (as)
President of South Africa a year later.

worth seeing because you can benefit a lot from it.

A little girl asked her father, who often came home late from
hard work, how much he earned an hour. Then she borrowed some money
from her father and asked him to sell one hour of his time to
accompany her.
After reading the passage, I was lost in thought. From my own
perspective, however busy parents are, they should make time to
accompany their children.
My parents are such persons who are always willing to spend time
with me. I can well remember that three years ago, my parents gave
up their once-in-a-life-time opportunity of visiting the UK and
accompanied me to the new senior school. So nervous did I feel in
the new environment that I was at a loss what to do. Fortunately,
with their company and encouragement, I overcame my fear and fit in
well. It was the first time that I had felt so close to my
As far as my personal experience is concerned, parents’ company
is like the lighthouse, with the guidance of which we will go
forward in the right direction and reach our goals.
