One day, as two little boys were walking along the road, they passed a woman carrying a large basket of apples.
The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired, so they said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your basket." "Thank you," replied the woman, Then she told them that she had a disabled son. She lived in a small house three miles away, and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden. She needed the money for their living.
"We are going the same way you are," said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts. The poor woman looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be angry with them. "Oh, no," they replied, "our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can."
The woman then offered to give them a few apples for their help. "No, thank you. We want nothing for what we have done," said the boys. When the woman got home, she told her son what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the kindness of the two boys.
Another day, the woman saw his son stop and pick up a piece of orange peel, which he threw into the dustbin. "I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk," said the son. “Someone may walk upon it, and fall.” “That is right, my dear,” she said. "It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you're thoughtful and considerate."
34. Why did the two boys help the woman carry the basket?

【答案】34. C    35. B    36. A    37. C
【解析】文章大意：本文讲述了两个小男孩在路上帮助一位妇人背苹果到市场去，这位妇人非常感谢他们，并提出给他们几个苹果，但两个男孩谢绝了。妇人回家后把这件事告诉了她的残疾儿子。然后有一天，妇人看见他的儿子捡起了一块橘子皮扔进了垃圾箱，并且说：“希望人们不要在人行道上仍橘子皮，有人可能会踩到它，然后摔倒”。妇人告诉儿子做得对，并表扬了儿子。
34. 细节理解题。根据文中的句子our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.可知，是他们的妈妈教他们要乐于助人，故答案选C。
35. 推理判断题。A、这个女人的花园里有很多苹果树。根据and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden.可知A选项错误；B、每个人都可以从小事做起来帮助他人。根据our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.以及It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you're thoughtful and considerate.可知B选项是正确的；C、那个女人没有钱送儿子上学。通读文章的第二段可知本文只是告诉我们那个女人有一个残疾儿子，而且她的生活很拮据，但并没有告诉我们那个女人没有钱送儿子上学，故C选项错误；D、穷人比妇人需要更多的帮助。通读全文可知文中并没有提到这样的话题，所以D选项错误；本题是问哪一个句子是正确的，故答案选B。
36. 词义猜测题。根据"We are going the same way you are," said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts.“我们和你走的是同一条路”，孩子们说着，抓住篮子，两边各一个，心情愉快地____，由语境可知孩子们是一边一个抬着篮子愉快地向前走去，故答案选A。
37. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知本文是讲述了两个小男孩帮助帮助一位妇人背苹果到市场去，妇人很感激他们。回家后妇人把这件事告诉了她自己的儿子，她的儿子受其影响把路边的橘子皮捡起来仍进了垃圾桶。他们所做的都是微不足道的小事，所以选项C“小小的善举”符合题意，故答案选C。
C
Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories". We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.
Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native (土著的) Americans, wolves often meant being brave.
However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.
To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn't a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them.
Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.
A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me, most women really hate wolf calls. So, they don't help a man in the game of love.
By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.
38. What can we know after reading the passage?
A. Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals.
B. Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves.
C. In different areas and times, wolves make people think of different things.
D. Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s.

Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.以及However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. … They also became known as bad animals.可知C选项“在不同的地区和时代，狼让人们想到不同的东西”符合题意，故答案选C。

Possible Earth-Like Planet Next Door?
Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet outside our solar system (太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.
This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century -- in time for people alive today to see it.
An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called "Proxima Centauri". The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.
Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.
American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) "earths" in space.
Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.
Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.
So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion "earths".
This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. "I am 65," he said, "but I expect to still be alive when it happens."
42. When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B?
A. In about eighty years.
B. In about 4. 2 years.
C. In about eleven days.
D. In about one billion years.
43. In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _______ is necessary for life.
A. water
B. light
C. air
D. wind
44. What does the underlined word "This" stand for in the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.
B. There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.
C. Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.
D. The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.
45. What does Alan Boss mean by saying "but I expect to still be alive when it happens"?
A. His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life.
B. Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.
C. Scientists may soon find fact that there’s life on other planets.
D. America is far ahead of other countries in space research.
【答案】42. A    43. A    44. B    45. C
【解析】文章大意：科学家们说他们在太阳系外发现了一颗类似地球的行星，这是一个可以支持生命的星球。这颗星球离我们只有4.2光年，以至于科学家们认为它是地球的邻居。科学家们说，在本世纪末，可以通过一艘无人驾驶飞船到达那里，让今天活着的人及时看到它。科学家们一直认为有水的行星对生命很重要，这颗新发现的行星比地球稍微大一点，科学家们把它命名为Proxima B。美国科学家多年以来一直使用仪器寻找类地行星，Proxima B的发现，不仅证实了行星的发现，而且大大增加了其他可能的“地球”数量。新的研究表明，银河系中可能存在的类地行星和恒星一样多。Alan Boss说他相信在他的一生中，除了地球，人类将能证明地球上还有生命。
42. 理解计算题。根据They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century -- in time for people alive today to see it.可知，在本世纪末以前，人们可以通过一艘无人驾驶的宇宙飞船到达那里，本世纪末即2099年，现在是2018年，2099-2018=81，所以大约八十年后，故答案选A。
43. 细节理解题。根据Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life.可知，作者认为水是生命所必需的，故答案选A。
44. 词义猜测题。联系上文So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy . That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion "earths".可知，“This”指的是银河系中存在有比人们想象的其它更多的类地行星，故答案选B。
45. 理解推测题。根据This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. "I am 65," he said, "but I expect to still be alive when it happens."可知，Alan Boss教授希望在他的有生之年能看到科学家们发现其它行星上也有生命，教授今年65岁了，所以可推知科学家们可能很快就会发现其它行星上也有生命，故答案选C。

【解析】
46. 句意：在达成协议之前，他们进行了热烈的讨论。由前面的不定冠词an可知此处应填一个名词形式，agree动词，同意、约定，与其对应的名词形式为agreement，故答案填agreement。
47. 句意：——非常抱歉，我不小心把你的照相机弄坏了。——没关系。我确信你不是故意的，也没办法。分析题干可知空格处修饰后面的形容词sorry，所以应用副词形式，awful，形容词，与其对应的副词为awfully，故答案填awfully。
48. 句意：她父亲把她送到学校大门口，然后开车去上班。由题干可知本题考查固定词组drop off
让…下车，根据后面的drove可知时态用一般过去时，drop的过去式为dropped，故答案填dropped。
49. 句意：由于天气不好，我们的计划突然改变了。由题干可知此处应填一个形容词形式修饰后面的名词change，sudden形容词“突然的”，故答案填sudden。
50. 句意：马克是唯一被选中参加会议的学生。由句意可知此处应用一般过去时的被动语态，其构成为was/were+动词过去分词；提示词choose的过去分词是chosen，故答案填chosen。
51. 句意：——也许有一天我会去度一个轻松的假期。——是的，梦想！由题干可知此处应填一个形容词形式修饰后面的名词holiday ，relax是动词，与其对应的形容词为relaxing，故答案填relaxing。
52. 句意：这件衬衫有点贵，你能给我看看便宜一点的吗？根据前面的a little expensive，可知此处应是要便宜一点的，所以其中暗含比较的意思，要用形容词的比较级形式，cheap的比较级是cheaper，故答案填cheaper。
53. 句意：好运就是当机会来临时，你做好了准备。由前面的系动词are可知此处应填形容词形式作表语，prepare动词，“准备”，与其对应的形容词为prepared，故答案填prepared。
54. 句意：——你能告诉我去中央医院的路吗？——对不起，我本人对这个城市并不熟悉。由前面的不定冠词a可知此处应填一个名词形式，strange是形容词，其后直接加“r”可以构成名词stranger“陌生人”，故答案填stranger。
55. 句意：他们是多年的朋友，他们俩都很珍惜他们的友谊。由题干可知句中缺少谓语动词，value动词，“重视”；根据句意和语境可知时态用一般现在时，主语是they，所以此处用动词原形，故答案填value。
点睛：做这类题型，首先要粗读每个句子，看每个句子是什么意思。然后看所要填写的内容在句子中做什么成分，需要什么词性；最后按照所给出的单词提示，结合相关的语法知识对单词或短语做出形式上的变化。如，第1小题，由前面的不定冠词an可知此处应填一个名词形式，与agree对应的名词形式为agreement，故答案填agreement。第6小题，根据题干可知此处应填一个形容词形式修饰后面的名词holiday ，relax是动词，与其对应的形容词为relaxing，故答案填relaxing。
