I dont want to die！”We ran to the shoreline.I shouted to her, “We are here; you are not going to die.We wont let that happen.Can you swim to us？” It quickly became apparent from her distress that she had gone out there with the intention of drowning herself, but had then changed her mind.After struggling for a while, she was finally pulled out of the water by us.I sat next to her and asked her name.She was my age and kept saying how sorry she was for wasting our time.I couldnt imagine how much pain she must have been in to feel that desperate.“Shall I let you into a secret？” I said. “Four years ago, almost to this very hour, I was taken to an operating theatre to have a double lung transplant (移植)My life was saved by a stranger, and now here we are, strangers helping you.Please dont apologize; we are glad to be here.”That was the reason why Chris and I had taken the train to Brighton: to mark the anniversary of my transplant.Before that operation, I had to wear an oxygen mask, using a wheelchair, unable to wash by myself.But I stuck to the belief that a better life was waiting for me, if I could hold on.The woman on the beach broke my heart when she said Id deserved to get better, but that she didnt.I told her we were both just very ill and needed to let other people help us sometimes.We may get desperate sometimes, but we should always believe well have a bright future.And very likely we may be helped out by a stranger.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者和丈夫在海灘散步時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一位絕望的想溺亡的女士，作者和丈夫救了她。4What do we know about the author when she first saw the woman?AShe thought the woman was out for a swim.BShe didnt pay much attention to the woman.CShe wondered why the woman wanted to drown herself.DShe was confused due to the way the woman was dressed.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“She was fully dressed, lying on her back.We hesitated: we knew this scene wasnt right.”可推斷出作者當(dāng)時(shí)感到很疑惑，不知道那位女士想做什么。5What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 2 mean?AGreat sorrow.

Victor HugoThere is certainly no denying (否定) that while a holiday or trip to another country leaves you with a sense of excitement, moving to another country is something entirely different.Speaking from experience, one of the most worrying questions that play on everyones mind is always: how will I make friends? And it becomes even more terrible when a foreign language is thrown into the mix.It is a long­known fact that music creates bonds.For a good reason, many people have fallen in love or built lifelong friendships based on mutual (共同的) appreciation for a band.No matter who you are, or where you come from, everyone listens to music in some way.So: youve met people, youre making friends, but youve only just overcome the “small talk” stages of these friendships.The next bit can sometimes be tricky.But, I always find, as soon as someone breaks the ice with the age­old question “What type of music do you listen to？” the language barriers seem to fall away.Music is something that everyone can speak excitedly about.Music is one of the most important forms of self­expression and individuality (個(gè)性), but, above all, it is a means of communication.Lets also not forget the sense of pride you feel when you introduce someone to a new song that they like.Music is a universal language that everyone can understand.Whether youre playing, singing or just listening, your mother tongue and cultural background become unimportant; so if youre ever at a loss for something to say, say it with music.語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。音樂可以突破語言的限制，有助于人們?cè)诋愑蛩l(xiāng)的生活、工作和交際。8What may make people who move to another country worried?ATheir foreign language is poor.BThey have no good friends there.CThey have no travelling experience.DTheir trip cannot make them excited.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“And it becomes even more terrible when a foreign language is thrown into the mix.”可知，語言的不熟悉會(huì)讓去另一個(gè)國家的人感到擔(dān)憂。9What does the underlined part “good reason” refer to?AThe bond. BThe love for music.CThe long­known fact. DThe appreciation for a band.解析：選B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句和畫線詞所在句中的“a band”可知，對(duì)音樂的熱愛是此處提到的原因。10Why does the author mention the age­old question?ATo explain how to break the ice.BTo teach us a good way to make friends.CTo show music can help people communicate.DTo prove its hard to cross the language barriers.解析：選C推理判斷題。文中第三段提到了一個(gè)問題，根據(jù)該段第一句和下文“the language barriers seem to fall away”可知，作者的目的是為了說明音樂能夠幫助人們交流。11What can we learn from the last paragraph?AMusic always makes people feel proud.BMusic is different from the mother tongue.CMusic can help people express themselves better.DMusic is more important than the cultural background.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Whether youre playing, singing or just listening, your mother tongue and cultural background become unimportant; so if youre ever at a loss for something to say, say it with music.”可知，音樂有助于更好地表達(dá)個(gè)人的思想。DKevin Petty is a meteorologist (氣象學(xué)家) and chief scientific officer for Vaisala, in Louisville, Colo.The company provides weather­related observations and software for governments and other groups to help guide their decision­making.Then where does weather come from? The sun provides energy that drives the weather.Other factors (因素) also play a role.These include Earths oceans, its land cover, the chemistry of its atmosphere and the planets rotation (旋轉(zhuǎn))If any of those were different, wed experience different weather patterns. And if the planet were just a bare rock orbiting a star, there would be no weather at all.Not so long ago in human history, weather was just something that happened.People would know generally what to expect from season to season.An areas climate the long­term average of weather didnt tend to change much from year to year.People might know to expect snow in winter, for example, and hot weather in summer.But they wouldnt know if itd snow on any particular day or whether some July drought (干旱) would develop, putting fields of wheat at risk.Today, you only need to turn on the TV or pull out your phone to have a prediction for what the upcoming weather will be.“People always say the weatherman is wrong，” notes Petty, “which is not really true.Actually, we never fault the weatherman when its beautiful outside, and we only notice when the forecast goes wrong.”Scientists have understood the basic physics behind the weather for so long.But they require computer models and reliable weather data to turn that knowledge into reliable forecasts.Today, computers take that knowledge of what Earth is like and use it to predict the weather.And thats one of the reasons why forecasts arent always right there just arent enough data for those computer models to work with.Nowadays, scientists are working to improve forecasts.Because of the complexity of Earths system, computer models still cant reproduce everything going on with the planet, which limits the accuracy of forecasts.However, weather forecasts, imperfect as they sometimes seem, already are a key piece of knowledge in todays world.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。天氣預(yù)報(bào)有時(shí)候不是很準(zhǔn)確，其中有哪些影響因素呢？12Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?AThere are various factors that influence weather.BMore software will be used to predict the weather.CWeather has an effect on decision­making abilities.DThe sun creates different weather patterns on Earth.解析：選A段落大意題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，許多因素導(dǎo)致了天氣形成，這些也是影響天氣的因素。13The example used in Paragraph 2 is just to show that climate .Ais relatively stable Bis quite dependableCis different in areas Dis easily predictable解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“An areas climate the long­term average of weather didnt tend to change much from year to year.”可知，此處舉例是為了說明氣候的相對(duì)穩(wěn)定性。14What results in the inaccuracy of forecasts according to Kevin Petty?AThe errors by computer models.BThe weathermans carelessness.CThe lack of enough weather data.DThe false information from websites.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“And thats one of the reasons why forecasts arent always right there just arent enough data for those computer models to work with.”可知，缺少足夠的數(shù)據(jù)是導(dǎo)致天氣預(yù)報(bào)有時(shí)候不準(zhǔn)確的原因。15What is the author most likely to mention if he continues to write?AAdvantages of weather forecasts.BDifficulties weathermen are facing.CAchievements in weather prediction.DReasons for imperfect weather forecasts.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“However, weather forecasts, imperfect as they sometimes seem, already are a key piece of knowledge in todays world.”可判斷，接下來作者極有可能舉例說明天氣預(yù)報(bào)的重要性，即給人們的生活帶來的好處。.閱讀七選五Christmas is a time for relaxing, having fun and spending time with family and friends. 16 It can be difficult to find the motivation for study when everyone around you is having so much fun.So, here are my top five tips for revising effectively over the Christmas break.Set aside a few hours a day to revise.Find the best time to revise and make sure that you stick to your timetable!
