11．Family trip
Most kids hate to see their summer end，perhaps none more than the Murset children．This summer，the Murset family decided to travel across the country to help families in need，which proved to be a wonderful experience．
People．com reported that Gregg Murset and his wife，Kami，decided to take their six children，ranging from 7to 16years old，from their home in Phoenix，Arizona，across the country to spend 20days on the road to help 25families in need．"I told the kids and my wife over breakfast that I wanted to do this，"Gregg Murset，40，told People．com．"They all looked at me like I was crazy，"he said，"but when we started to read the stories of people we were going to help，their attitudes completely changed．"
Through Gregg's company，he was able to be matched with groups such as Autism Speaks，the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society，and others that connected the Mursets to families with children who have cancer and other serious illnesses．
"When you have a kid who is struggling，the last thing you're thinking of is cleaning the house，"says Gregg．
The family traveled to many cities in their journey，including Albuquerque，Denver，Kansas City，Chicago，and Buffalo．The trip covered 6，500miles．"It's been amazing to watch my own children open their eyes and see that the world is bigger than they think，"he said．"Even the little kids are learning from this experience．"
And the families they've helped feel blessed to have met them．"They showed up at 8a．m．a(chǎn)nd we had a list of things we needed help with，"said Jim Spencer，a 61-year-old father in Warren，Michigan，whose 12-year-old daughter，Lexi，was diagnosed（診斷） with cancer a couple of years ago．
The Mursets also used their travels as an opportunity to visit areas they had never been to，including the Statue of Liberty．But for Gregg，the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves．
"There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa，doing some work and sweating，"said Gregg．"It's good for the kid and it's good for the soul．"

45．How did the kids feel when Gregg Murset first told the family about his plan？A
A．Amazed．
B．Excited．
C．Disappointed．
D．Worried．
46．What did the family mainly do during their trip？D
A．They toured places of interest．
B．They visited patients in hospital．
C．They worked with social groups．
D．They helped families in need of help．
47．During the trip，Gregg most wanted his kids toC．
A．increase physical exercise
B．gain more geography knowledge
C．learn to be concerned about others
D．improve their communication skills．

分析 本文講的是 Gregg Murset 一家人進行的家庭旅游，目的是讓孩子們學(xué)會關(guān)心和考慮他人的感受．

解答 45-47．ADC
45題答案：A考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)原文第二段中的They all looked at me like I was crazy．"他們都看著我，好像我發(fā)瘋了"．可知本題答案為A選項．
46題答案：D看細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)原文第二段的across the country to spend 20days on the road to help 25families in need．遍布整個國家在路上花費20天的時間來幫助25個有需要的家庭．可知本題答案為D選項．
47題答案：C考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的But for Gregg，the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves．但是對于Gregg來說，旅行的主要目的是教他的孩子關(guān)心他人的幸福而不是為了他們自己．可知本題答案為C選項．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities.

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虛構(gòu)）, they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.

Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

1.What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?

A. Dictionaries are open to the public.

B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.

C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.

D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.

2.Dodgson's made-up words ________.

A. are based on different words

B. are borrowed from other languages

C. all come from his poems

D. are still widely used

3.This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how Dodgson wrote his works

B. how English words are created

C. how a dictionary is written

D. how Dodgson created new words

2．When you hear of plastic surgery，what do you think of？A Hollywood star is trying to look younger than her real age？People who want to change the size of their stomachs，breasts，or other body parts because they see it done so easily on TV？
Those are what people usually think of plastic surgery，but what about the 4-year-old boy who has his chin rebuilt after a dog bit him？Or the young woman who has the birthmark on her forehead lightened with a laser？
Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's appearance and ability to function．Plastic surgeons try to improve patients'appearance by correcting physical defects （缺陷） or changing parts of the body because they are not satisfied with the way they look．
Nowadays in the U．S．more and more teens are interested in plastic surgery．Interestingly，the American Society of Plastic Surgeons （ASPS） reports a difference in the reasons teens give for having plastic surgery and the reasons adults do：Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers．Adults，on the other hand，frequently see plastic surgery as a way to stand out from the crowd．
According to the ASPS，more than 350，000people 18years and younger had either major or minor plastic surgical procedures in 2014．The most common procedures teens choose include nose reshaping，ear surgery，acne （粉刺） and acne scar treatment，and breast reduction．
But is it a good idea for teens to have plastic surgery just to change the appearance？Plastic surgery is unlikely to change your life．Most doctors spend a lot of time interviewing teens who want plastic surgery to decide if they really need the surgery．They try to make sure that teens are doing it for the right reasons．
Almost all teens care about their bodies．Almost everyone wishes there were a thing or two that could be changed．A lot of this feeling goes away with time．Before you get plastic surgery，ask yourself if you're considering it because you want it for yourself or it's to please someone else．
44．Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from？D
A．A book review
B．A film magazine
C．A history book
D．A research report．
45．In the first two paragraphs the author introduces plastic surgery byB．
A．listing some numbers               
B．giving common examples
C．providing scientific findings         
D．comparing different opinions
46．According to the author，which of the following situations means you really need plastic surgery？C
A．You can't stand your big nose．
B．You want to be the most beautiful girl in your class．
C．The birthmark on your face makes you unconfident．
D．Most of your friends have already had plastic surgery．

16．For years we have been told that encouraging a child's self-respect is important to his or her success in life．But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect． Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car．
The implication （含義） of saying"You are the prettiest girl in class，"or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort，is that you love her only when she looks the best，scores the highest，achieves the most．And this carries over to the classroom．
Social psychologist Carol Dweck，PhD，tested the effects of overpraise on 400fifth graders while she was at Columbia University．She found that kids praised for"trying hard"did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being"smart"．
"Praising attributes （品質(zhì)） or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality，and it devalues effort，so children are afraid to take on challenges，"says Dweck，now at Stanford University．"They figure they'd better quit while they're ahead．"

29．The underlined words"Praise-aholic kids"refer to kids who areD．
A．tired of being praised             
B．worthy of being praised
C．very proud of being praised        
D．extremely fond of being praised
30．The author quoted （引用） Dr．Dweck's words in the last paragraph in order to make the articleC．
A．better-known    
B．better-organized    
C．more persuasive   
D．more interesting
31．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B．praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C．praising a child's achievements benefits his or her success in life
D．praising a child's abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges．

3．Every day our life is full of images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aural hyperstimulation（視聽的高度刺激），the medium of radio is making a marked comeback．
"We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast．These data，released by Edison Research，reveal the successful
evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format（播客形式）．The term"podcast，"was coined in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．Since the leap in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets，podcast subscription rates have only accelerated．
You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally
free to download on computer or iPod and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via-iTunes．¨I listen while I'm hanging out in the house doing something else．
It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in
touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said．"I mainly listen to BBC
podcasts，but recently I've also been tuning into This American Life and Serial．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the ability to create a deep impression
on readers．Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability"to create emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，major in social work and arts，
agrees．"When you're tuned in，it feels as if the podcaster is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal（口頭的）storytelling is very much alive and well．

32．According to the passage，which of the following is Not a suitable time to listen to procasts？A
A．Attending a lecture．  B．Riding the subway．
C．Walking to the shop．  D．Waiting for a bus．
33．According to the passage，one difference between television and audio format is
thatA．
A．only audio format has the ability to create emotional connection to download
B．only audio format helps people keep in touch with the world's change
C．only television provides new content every week
D．only television shows can be free
34．What does the underlined word"coined"in paragraph 2mean？C
A．written．  B．thought．  C．invented．  D．found．
35．It can be inferred from passage thatB
A．people like to listen to podcasts when they work
B．podcasts are more and more popular with people
C．the voice of the podcaster attracts many listeners
D．people keep in touch with each other by listening to podcasts．

20．Shi Fang spends more than 4，000 yuan a month shopping，but she rarely goes to the shopping mall．"Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao？I am a Taobaoer，"says Shi，28，a writer in Beijing．
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping．The China Internet Network Information Center （CNNIC） announced in December that more than 87 million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year，which means one out of four Chinese netizens have online shopping experience．
It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan this year，and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao．com，China's fast-growing e-commerce hub （樞紐） set up in 2003．
The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods，compared with those in stores in bricks．Her favorite facial cream costs 1，680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop，but a 10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online．
The Taobao instant messenger，a communication channel for buyers and sellers，also makes onlrne shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to promote trust and keep contact．
"You can check the information easily．It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have regular chat with him or her through the messenger．You may receive some personalized service such as getting more samples or certain discount，"said Shi While some may question the security of online purchases，Yang Fei，another Taobaoer，gave a thumb-up for Alipay，the Taobao payment method started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China．It enabled her to make a lot of purchases online．
"It's very safe and convenient．Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase，the shop owner will not get the money．You can also get the refund（退款） if you want to return the purchase，"she added．

67．According to the passage，Taobao isA．
    A．a(chǎn) website where people can buy different things
    B．a(chǎn)n Internet store where we can buy whatever we want
    C．a(chǎn) website where people can make friends all over the country
    D．a(chǎn) messenger through which people can bargain with each other
68．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of shopping online？C
    A．Personalized service．               B．Reasonable price．
    C．Rich experience．                    D．Its convenience．
69．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
    A．the consumption through Taobao．corn may be over 200 billion yuan this year
    B．consumers won't get any samples because of the low prices
    C．consumers can communicate with sellers mainly on the phone
    D．one fourth of Chinese citizens have online shopping experience

I am writing to thank you for allowing Maria and me to use your office as a workspace as well as to praise your wonderful organizational skills．Maria and I，as you know，have been in your office many times in the past few clays writing letters to raise money for our community service trip to Pucallpa，Peru，where we will work with poor children．Not only did you allow us to use your office space，but also you helped us greatly by providing us with a list of possible contributors．Without your assistance，I don't think we would have been able to raise enough money for such a trip．

You have helped us greatly this past week．Your generosity will not only provide us with the opportunity to make this trip possible，hut will also be a great benefit both to the children in Pucallpa and us．Again，we thank you for your help．
