篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了小學教師Whaley通過組織學生演講來幫助

學生增強自信的教學實踐。

1.WhatmadeChrisnervous?

A.Tellingastory.B.Makingaspeech.

C.Takingatest.D.Answeringaquestion.

答案：B細節理解題。根據題干中的關鍵詞“nervous”可定位到第二段第一句，并結

合第一段中內容可知，今天是演講日，現在輪到了Chris,雖然他看起來像那種喜歡在公共

場合講話的孩子，但是他很緊張。由此可知，演講使Chris緊張。故選B。

2.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“stumbles“inparagraph2referto?

A.Improperpauses.B.Badmanners.

C.Spellingmistakes.D.Sillyjokes.

答案：A詞義猜測題。根據第二段中的“youshould...should..."以及.Vote

for...me.?.”這樣的語句特點可知，Chris的演講不流暢，也就是說有不適當的停頓。

這是他表現不好的地方，與畫線詞后的句意“他完成得非常好”構成轉折關系，與短語

exceptfor的語意相呼應。故選A。

3.WecaninferthatthepurposeofWhaley，sprojectisto_______.

A.helpstudentsseetheirownstrengths

B.assessstudents'publicspeakingskills

C.preparestudentsfortheirfuturejobs

D.inspirestudents1loveforpolitics

答案：A推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段最后兩句可知，Whaley創辦這個項目的目的不

僅僅是讓學生學會閱讀和在公共場合演講，他還希望學生學會自夸。A項意為“幫助學生看

到自己的長處”，與原文意思相符。故選A。

4.WhichofthefollowingbestdescribesWhaleyasateacher?

A.Humorous.B.Ambitious.

C.Caring.D.Demanding.

答案：C推理判斷題。文章介紹了Whaley老師通過創辦“總統競選項目”，組織學生

演講來幫助學生增強自信。根據第二段中的“whisperingsupport"和Whaley

invitestherestoftheclasstopraisehim”等細節也可看出Whaley老師是一個關心

學生的老師。故選C。

篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了在英國，許多移民不能說一口流利英語這一

現狀，作者借助專家們的觀點告訴我們怎樣學好英語，練就一口流利的英語。

1.Thefirstparagraphservesasa（n）.

A.introductionB.discussion

C.explanationD.conclusion

答案：A推理判斷題。通讀本段可知，本段第一句說“在英國有很多人，即使是基礎

英語也是個問題”，接著根據調查可知，在英格蘭和威爾士有很多人英語說得不好甚至根本

不會說英語。因此推知，這是為了引出下文的許多移民不會說英語的現狀，告訴我們如何學

好英語，故選A。

2.WhatdoesMilaVulchanovamainlystress?

A.Theimportanceofkeyteachingways.

B.ThenecessityofworkinghardatEnglish.

C.TheadvantagesoflearningEnglish.

D.TheimportanceofstartinglearningEnglishatanearlyage.

答案：D推理判斷題。根據第三段中的aThereisasensitiveperiodinlanguage

learning"和“Sotheyoungertheimmigrants（移民），thebetter.Sincethisdecline

isonlygradual,teenagersareatanadvantageoveradults”可知，MilaVulchanova

認為對于移民來說，學英語越早越好，年齡小是優勢。因此可推知，他在強調早學英語的重

要性，故選I）。

3.TheUKgovernmenthopesthatbenefitclaimants.

A.reach"ESOLEntry1”

B.areadvancedEnglishlearners

C.studyEnglishforabout360hours

D.getcitizenshipfromthegovernmentfirst

答案：C細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的“saiditneeded360hours—120hours

foreachofthreestages-togettotheresultthegovernmentexpectedbenefit

claimantstoreachv可知，申請救濟金者需要360個小時----三個階段，120個小時一階

段一一才能達到政府預期的英語水平，分析選項可知C項符合題意。

4.WhatDrElaineBoydsaidsuggestedthat_______.

A.120hoursisahighlevelforlearners

B.onecanlearnEnglishfastifactive

C.Englishfluencycanbeeasilyachieved

D.childrenunder11learnEnglishhard

了增強自信的具體措施。

1.Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?

A.Howtokeepagoodshape

B.Thewaytosuccess

C.Whattalentsyouneed

D.Howtobeconfident

答案：D標題判斷題。文章第一段提出我們都是人，都有自己的缺點，但要相信自己，

要自信。接著介紹如何讓你自信。文章反復出現confident。分析選項可知D項符合題意，

故選D項。

2.What'sthemeaningoftheunderlinedwordsinParagraph3?

A.Doaswellasothersexpectyouto.

B.Careabout.

C.Don,tagreewithothers.

D.Praise.

答案：A詞義猜測題。根據第三段最后一句"Peoplewilljudgeyouallthetime,

andusuallythey，11misjudgeyouanyway,sowhybothertryingtoliveuptotheir

opinionsatall?”可知，人們總是會評判你,而且通常無論你怎么樣,他們都會誤判你，

這樣的話，為什么還要按他們說的做呢？本句是說既然你怎么做都會被誤解，所以沒必要按

他們說的做，做得像他們要你做的那么好。選項A（doaswellasothersexpectyouto”做

得和別人期望的一樣好”）符合題意，故選A。

C.Toshowusthatmoisturizers（潤膚霜）andcreamsarespecialdietforour

skin.

D.Totellthereaderstheyareessentialtotheirwell-being.

（潤膚霜）andcreamswillnotbringyouclosertowhoyouwanttobe.Thosethings

areonlyband-aidsandmake-up.Confidencecomesfromwithin.w可知,購買所有的

潤膚霜和面霜不會讓你更接近你想成為的人。那些東西僅僅是權宜之計。信心來自內心。分

析選項可知B項（向我們展示這些東西不是信心的必需品）符合題意，故選B。

篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了作者自己參與并鼓勵他人參與志愿工作的經

歷，論述了志愿工作的獨特意義。

1.WhatcanweinferabouttheparentfromherreplyinParagraph1?

A.Sheknowslittleabouttheclub.

B.Sheisn'tgoodatsports.

C.Shejustdoesn*twanttovolunteer.

D.She*sunabletomeetherschedule.

答案：C推理判斷題。根據第一段第一句可知，這位家長要求把她當作最后的選擇，

如果沒人愿意做，她再做。由此推知她不愿意參與志愿者活動。另外，第三段第二句中的“the

unwillingparent也印證了答案。

2.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“tugattheheartstringsinParagraph2

mean?

A.Encourageteamwork.B.Appealtofeelings.

C.Promotegooddeeds.D.Provideadvice.

答案：B詞義猜測題。根據畫線短語前一句可知，這位家長可能需要一點點勸說。隨

后作者對這位家長進行了舉例勸說：一位有四個孩子的單親母親在主持這次活動，一位孩子

不在此隊的父親擔任長曲棍球隊的教練。這些例子都是為了吸引這位家長來做志愿工作，故

答案為B。

3.WhatcanwelearnabouttheparentfromParagraph3?

A.Shegetsinterestedinlacrosse.

B.Sheisproudofherkids.

C.She，11workforanotherseason.

D.Shebecomesagoodhelper.

答案：D推理判斷題。根據第三段第二、三句可知，這位不情愿的家長在參與了這項

活動后，安排用餐時間、發送電子郵件、籌款買賽季末禮物，每件事都安排得很妥當。在這

個過程中，她最終成為團隊中非常寶貴的一員，這說明這位開始不情愿參加的家長最終成為

團隊里的一個好幫手。

4.Whydoestheauthorlikedoingvolunteerwork?

A.Itgivesherasenseofduty.

B.Itmakesherveryhappy.

篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。當其他的孩子把零花錢花在糖果和玩具上時，七歲的

Jose卻想著如何儲蓄。在校長的支持下，他成立了學生生態銀行，讓學生帶廢品開戶，之

后將廢品銷售給收購商。該銀行受到了孩子們的歡迎。

1.WhydidJosesetupthebank?

A.Toraisemoneyandsetuparecyclingcompany.

B.Tobuynecessitiesanddonatethemtoneedykids.

C.Tosavemuchmoneyandprotecttheenvironment.

D.Toeducatethestudentsandhelpthemwinprizes.

答案：C細節理解題。根據第一段第二句"Totrytogethispeers（同齡人）todo

thesame,theboyfromPerucameupwiththeideaofaneco-bank,theBartselana

StudentBank,whichallowskidsofallagestobecomefinanciallyindependentwhile

alsohelpingtheenvironment.可知，為了讓他的同齡人也這么做，這個來自秘魯的男

孩想出了一個生態銀行的點子，這個點子能讓各個年齡段的孩子變得經濟獨立，同時也有助

于環境保護。據此可知，Jose創立生態銀行旨在儲蓄的同時保護環境，故C項正確。

2.Howcanakidbeadmittedtotheeco-bank?

A.Bydonatingtotheeco-bank.

B.Byturninginonekilogramofwasteinamonth.

C.Bysendinginanapplication.

D.Bypresentingasavingsgoalandacertainamountofwaste.

答案：D細節理解題。根據第二段第二句"Tobecomeamember,akidhastobring

inatleast5kilogramsofsolidwasteandsetasavingsgoal.“可知，若要成為生

態銀行的一員，一個孩子必須至少上交5千克的固體垃圾，并設定一個儲蓄目標，故D項正

確。

3.HowdidtheteachersfeelaboutJose，sprogram?

A.Doubtful.B.Excited.

C.Moved.D.Worried.

答案：A推理判斷題。根據第三段第四句中的"Atthebeginning,myteachers

thought1wascrazyorthatachildcouldnotundertakethistypeofproject,,可

知，開始時老師們認為Jose瘋了，認為一個孩子不能承擔這種類型的項目。據此可推知，

老師們對Jose的項目持懷疑態度，故A項正確。

4.WhatisParagraph4mainlyabout?

A.Howtheenvironmentisimproved.

B.Whattheprojecthasachieved.

C.Howtonsofwastehasbeenrecycled.

D.Whatsupportthelocalinstitutionsget.

答案：B段落大意題。根據第四段的第一句"Theboy'seffortspaidoff,andby2013,

thebankhadover200members,whobroughtinonetonofrecyclablewaste.”可知,

Jose的努力得到了回報，到2013年，該銀行已有200多名成員，他
