What’s best to read this year?
Secrets I Know (Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)
This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above. The colors of Zakimi’s pencil drawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.
Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)
The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.
Prince and Pirate (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)
A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium（水族馆）. At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends. It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.
The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)
The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面对）the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors create a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.

B
One evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response surprised me, “What’s a colander（漏勺）?” he asked.
I could only blame myself. Nobody’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for. I felt confident that I’d raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Sew on a button? Wash his clothes without turning them pink? No, no and no. Suddenly it hit me: He’d be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world.
As parents, while we focus on our child’s confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust（馅饼皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
Three of my four grandparents were tailors, so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics, like mending a split seam or refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother -- he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive -- but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes there’s nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. That’s what I call a man.
4. Hearing her son’s question, the author felt _______.
A. shocked B. angry
C. disappointed D. calm
5. We can learn from the text that Ray ________.
A. made great progress in cooking
B. preferred sewing to cooking
C. was unwilling to take the course at first
D. always thought it attractive to do housework
6. The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _______.
A. fell in love with housework B. did other work in the house
C. acknowledges the author’s efforts D. began to be more independent
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Are Women Programmed for Housework? B. Should Boys Be Involved in Housework?
C. I’m Proud I’ve Raised a Curious Son D. A Present for My Future Daughter-in-law
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。本文讲述母亲震惊于儿子连漏勺都不认识决心让儿子学家务，培养儿子成为一个真正的男人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的his response surprised me, “What’s a colander（漏勺）?” he asked.可知，当儿子问“什么是漏勺？”的时候，作者感到很吃惊。故A选项正确。

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.（有一天他对我说:“我更感激你作为一个母亲所做的一切。”）可知，Roy向她表示感谢。换言之，他认可了作者的努力。故C选项正确。
【7题详解】
标题判断题。根据第三段中的I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?”（我想知道的是，我养育了一个男孩，他从来不会问他生命中的那个女人:“晚餐吃什么?”）及对自己儿子展开的培训可知，D项“这是给我未来儿媳妇的礼物”适合做本文最佳标题。故D选项正确。
【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。在第3小题中，考生可以根据该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其指代对象。我们根据下文“I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. （有一天他对我说:“我更感激你作为一个母亲所做的一切。”）可知，Roy向她表示感谢。换言之，他认可了作者的努力。故C选项正确。
C
Many people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice. Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!
People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.
Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguin’s colors, its way of standing straight upright and the way it walks.”
These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy. The penguin’s colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguin’s white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. And from above, other animals cannot see the penguin’s black back against the dark ocean floor.
The penguins’ colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby.
Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the University of Michigan tested young people’s reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The researchers showed the young people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.
8. In the film “March of the Penguins”, ________.
A. a baby penguin is stolen B. a penguin is sent out as a gift
C. penguins are cute and attractive D. penguins have a bad sense of balance
9. It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .
A. a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming one
B. a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from falling
C. a shop selling baby products are likely to make more money
D. a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors
10. Scientists have found that the penguins’ color can ________.
A. change at different places B. help them keep warm
C. make people have pity on them D. protect them from being hunted
11. The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that _________.
A. cute messages mislead people
B. cuteness influences people’s judgment
C. humans react to anything that is cute
D. a simple message is more convincing than a cute message
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了科学家们对“可爱”的研究。最近的研究表明，可爱的图片以一种特殊的方式影响大脑。密歇根大学的一项研究测试了年轻人对图像的反应。研究发现，如果一条信息加上一张可爱的照片，年轻人会更相信它。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!（每次企鹅摔倒，人们都笑。这些动物很可爱!）可知，在电影《帝企鹅日记》中，企鹅既可爱又招人喜爱。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way.（最近的研究表明，可爱的图片以一种特殊的方式影响大脑。）及The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.（结果发现，年轻人更相信可爱的信息而不是简单的信息。）可推知，一个有可爱图片的网站可能会吸引更多的年轻访客。故D选项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的. The penguin’s colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguin’s white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. And from above, other animals cannot see the penguin’s black back against the dark ocean floor.（企鹅的颜色也有特殊的用途。它在企鹅游泳的时候保护它们。从下面看，较大的动物看不到企鹅的白色底面，因为它看起来像明亮的天空或冰。从上面看，其他动物看不到企鹅黑色的背对着黑暗的海底。）可知，科学家们发现企鹅的颜色可以保护它们不被猎杀。故D选项正确。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.（结果发现，年轻人更相信可爱的信息而不是简单的信息。）可知，密歇根大学开展的这项研究表明，可爱程度会影响人们的判断。故B选项正确。

When you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.
This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.
Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.
According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”
Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.
Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.
12. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.
A. decorating B. removing
C. personalizing D. protecting
13. Princeton University created bots to ______.
A. explain why different websites are personalized
B. offer users some advice on how to protect privacy
C. assess how personalization is affecting Internet users
D. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites
14. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?
A. Google and Yahoo. B. eBay and Google.
C. Amazon and eBay. D. Amazon and Yahoo.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.
B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.
C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.
D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks,（然后，他们展示他们认为最相关的广告，以最大限度地提高点击率）可知，网站通过消除他们认为不相关的内容，使你看到的结果个性化。由此推知，eliminating意为“消除”。A. decorating装修；B. removing移除；C. personalizing个性化；D. protecting保护。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.（通过使用这些机器人来扫描和研究网络，研究人员希望不仅能绘制出它们各自看到了什么，还能绘制出它们错过了哪些网站的图片。）可知，普林斯顿大学创造了机器人来评估个性化是如何影响互联网用户的。故C选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.（谷歌的搜索引擎允许您关闭个性化设置）及倒数第一段中的Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”.（来自巴塞罗那庞培法布拉大学和雅虎的研究人员认为，这个问题极具潜在破坏性，他们还创造了一种“打破过滤泡沫”的方法）可知，谷歌和雅虎已经做了一些事情来切断个性化。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，网站和社交网络跟踪你的位置，搜索你的历史，对你的年龄、种族、性别和政治观点做出假设，通过消除他们认为不相关的内容，使你看到的结果个性化。由此可知，本文主要介绍了个性化广告和搜索结果可以创建不同的网页。故B选项正确。

【42题详解】
考查时态。根据语境可知，此处描述的以前的事情，应使用一般过去时。故填begged。

【44题详解】
考查介词。根据下文were now an endangered species可知，此处指“它们因为羊毛被人无情地杀害”。without mercy“无情地”。故填without。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。此处与主语Daisy构成逻辑主谓关系，应使用现在分词，表主动。故填Feeling。
【46题详解】

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文，文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删改或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（Λ），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
A Chinese scientist, Mr. He Jiankui claimed that he has successfully created the world’s first genetically-edited babies. In a interview, Mr. He said he had edited the genetic substance, or DNA, of twin girls born a few weeks early. Though Mr He’s claim was immediately condemned by some scientists as unsafe and unethical, but he defended his work. He said the gene editing, that was to help protect the babies from their future infection of HIV, the virus responsible with AIDS, was perfectly safe. Many scientists working in genetics say he believe any experiments performing this way are dangerous.
In the United States and other country, this kind of gene editing is strictly banned. What scientists are worried about that such changes to a person’s DNA may harm his/her other genes and lead to deadly diseases.
【答案】1. has → had
2. a→ an
3. early→ earlier
4. 去掉but
5. that→ which
6. with → for
7. he→ they
8. performing→ performed
9. country→ countries
10. about后加 is
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。中国科学家何建奎先生声称，他已经成功地创造了世界上第一个经过基因编辑的婴儿。但是许多从事遗传学研究的科学家说，他认为任何以这种方式进行的实验都是危险的。一个人的DNA的这种变化可能会损害他/她的其他基因，并导致致命的疾病。
【详解】第一处：考查时态。此处表示的动作发生在claimed之前，属于“过于的过去”，应使用过去完成时。故has 改为had。
第二处：考查冠词。interview是元音音素开头的词，应使用不定冠词an。故a改为an。
第三处：考查副词。earlier副词“早地；早先的时候”。时间段与earlier一起使用，表示以过去或将来某一个时间点为准的一段时间以前。a few weeks earlier“几周前”。故early改为earlier。
第四处：考查让步状语从句。though/although等引导让步状语从句时，不能与but/and/or连用。故去掉but。
第五处：考查非限定性定语从句。此处为非限定性定语从句，先行词是the gene editing，关系词在从句中做主语，应使用关系代词which引导。故that改为which。
第六处：考查介词。固定短语：responsible for“是……的原由；为……负责”。故with改为for。
第七处：考查代词。此处指代主语Many scientists，且在宾语从句中做主语。故he改为they。
第八处：考查过去分词。此处与experiments构成逻辑动宾关系，应使用过去分词，表被动。故performing改为performed。
第九处：考查名词复数。此处指“其他的国家”，不是一个国家，应使用名词复数。故country改为countries。
第十处：考查系动词。句意：科学家所担心的是，一个人的DNA的这种变化可能会损害他/她的其他基因，并导致致命的疾病。分析句意及句子结构可知，What scientists are worried about 是主语从句，that引导的是表语从句，缺少系动词。故about后加 is

Dear fellow students,

Students’ Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
As you all know, our government is trying to make our city a National Civilized City. We hope we can also do our bits to help achieve this goal.
First of all, we should mind our language and be civilized speakers. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thanks” and don’t talk or laugh loudly in public. When seeing people in trouble, we might as well lend them a helping hand. In addition, be civilized pedestrians. We must obey traffic rules and never cross the streets when the traffic lights are red. Keeping our environment nice and clean is also advisable, which means we shouldn’t litter or spit in public places. Only by starting with the little things around us can we make a big difference to our city image.
Let’s take action now and make joint efforts to make our city more civilized.
Students Union
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求写一封倡议书。

第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者使用了很多高级语法表达为文章增色不少，比如定语从句As you all know, our government is trying to make our city a National Civilized City.；宾语从句We hope we can also do our bits to help achieve this goal.；时间状语从句的省略句型When seeing people in trouble, we might as well lend them a helping hand.；现在分词及定语从句Keeping our environment nice and clean is also advisable, which means we shouldn’t litter or spit in public places.；倒装句式Only by starting with the little things around us can we make a big difference to our city image.等等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，长短句结合，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
