    Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1______ feeling about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2______ between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3_______ rooms, clothers thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4_____. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5______ the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning their room or refusing to do the shopping at the suppermarket.
    The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6_______ to these problems. However some approaches are more 7_______ than others. For example, thoses parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8_______ clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9______. On the contrary, those who let teeenagers experience the 10______ of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11_______ their actions.
    Psychologists say that 12______ is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13_______ to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14_______ their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It only by listening to and 15________ each other that probems between parents and children can be settled.

答案及解析： （“可樂”解釋）
    本文首先指出父母與十幾歲的孩子之間存在矛盾沖突及其原因，然后是研究發現的不同父母對此采取的不同方法，有的方法較另一些方法更有效果，最后一段是心理學家對解決沖突的建議。
    1. D 由not easy living with them (their parents) (孩子覺得與父母生活在一起不易)與difficult to live with teenagers(父母覺得與十幾歲的孩子生活在一起很難)可知，孩子與父母有“相似的”感受。(邏輯推斷)
    2. B 由前兩句，可知父母之間有“矛盾”，再根據regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks(關于不整潔和日常事情)，對照各選項，只有argument(爭吵)適合。(邏輯推斷)
    3. C 由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知，房間是messy(凌亂不堪的)。(邏輯推斷；也可將untidiness與messy看作是近義復現)
    4. B 由上文提到的收拾房間之類的事，應是housework(家務活)。(上下義復現)
    5. C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping可知，這里應是dropping the towel in the bathroom，一起為blame them的原因。(邏輯推斷，或詞語同現，受責備的應都是負面的意思)
    6. A 由下句的However, some approaches提示，可知這里是指“不同的父母對待這些問題有不同的‘方法’”。 (原詞復現)
    7. D 從下面的例子可以看出，有的方法比別的方法更能“達到預期的目的(successful)”。下文中的do better也有提示作用。(邏輯推斷)
    8. A 指yell at their children(對孩子大聲叫喊)之后，意為“但是‘后來’又為他們清掃房間”。 (邏輯推斷)
    9. A 改變孩子不愛整潔的“行為(behavior)”。 (邏輯推斷)
    10. C 據下文所舉的例子“不幫父母去買東西”“在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜歡的飲料”可知，這是讓孩子“感受到自己的行為產生的‘后果’”。 (邏輯推斷)
    11. D 在有了上述經歷之后，他們就會“重新考慮”他們的行動。(邏輯推斷)
    12. A 由下文中的Communication is a two-way process可知，此處填communication。事實上，當完成第13空后，就基本上確定此題選A了。(原詞復現)
    13. D 由but可知，要選與lend an ear to(=listen to傾聽)相對的talk。(詞語同現；邏輯推斷)
    14. B 由but可知，要選與understand (理解)相對的scold(責罵)。(詞語同現；邏輯推斷)
    15. C 此句是強調結構，是對前兩句的總結，一句是說要lend an ear to(=listen to傾聽)，一句是說要understand (傾聽)，所以總結為“只有通過傾聽和相互理解，父母與孩子之間的問題才可得到解決”。 (原詞復現)  
    第二節  語法填空（共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）
    閱讀下面短文，按照句子結構的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個適當的詞或者括號中詞語的正確形式填空，并將答案填寫在答題卡標號為16~25的相應位置上。
    Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said____16____ was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.
    After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months____17____(early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We ____18____（tell）that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, ____19____ for the week after. I didn’t understand ____20____ this would happen and my credit card had already been charged ____21____ the reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was ____22____（surprise）helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on  ____23____top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.
    The next day, my brother and I went to the beach ____24____we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little____25____（sunburn），but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.
答案及解析：（“可樂”解釋）
    本文是講我和我兄弟去Miami(邁阿密)旅游，當到達目的地后，來到六個月前訂的賓館，卻意外被告知訂的房間是下個星期的，且該賓館房間已訂滿。正當不知如何辦時，經理出來了，將他們安排在留出來的VIP房間，且不另外收他們的錢，這真是個意外的意外。
    16. it 在said后的賓語從句中缺主語，應填代詞；指代前句中的Miami這個地方，應用it。
    17. earlier 在句中作狀語，依然用副詞；不變詞性，可考慮用比較級；由時態had made，可知是“早在六個月前”就訂好了。
    18. were told 由句意或tell sb. sth.這一句型結構可知，是“我們被告知”，由上下文的時態可知，用一般過去時的被動語態。
    19. but 這是考慮not…but…結構，意為“不是為那個星期訂的，而是為后一個星期所訂的”。
    20. why /how意為“我不知道為什么會發生這樣的事/這是怎樣發生的”，故用why/how引導賓語從句。
    21. for 因charge…for…是習慣搭配。
    22. surprisingly 因本句已有作表語的形容詞helpful，所以應當用副詞來修飾形容詞helpful，指“令人驚訝地，意外的”，故填surprisingly。
    23. the 特指“在頂樓”。
    24. where 先行詞是地點the beach且在定語從句中作狀語，故填where (=on which =and on the beach =and there)。
    25. sunburnt 在表示“變化”的got后作表語，要用形容詞；sunburn是名詞。
    Ⅱ 閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）
      第一節  閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
      閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
    Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鳴曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
    Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
    Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
    Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”
    However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
    Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.
26. What is special about Samuel Osmond?
   A. He has a gift for writing music.
   B. He can write down the note he hears.
   C. He is a top student at the law school.
   D. He can play the musical piece he hears.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
   A.Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.
   B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.
   C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.
   D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.
28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ________.
   A. received a good early education in music
   B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly
   C. could play the piano without reading music
   D. could play the guitar better than his father
29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?
   A. He became famous during a special event at his college.
   B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.
   C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.
   D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.
30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
   A. The Qualities of a Musician
   B. The Story of a Musical Talent
   C. The Importance of Early Education
   D. The Relationship between Memory and Music.
答案及解析：
    本文是記敘文，介紹有音樂天才的Samuel Osmond。
    26. D 細節理解題。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them可知選D。順便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出題的地方，可以注意喲。
    27. B 細節理解題。由第二段最后兩句 “Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents,but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music”可知選B，Samuel按照父母的意愿是想做律師的，而不是做音樂家。因按父母的意愿是學法律，按老師的建議學音樂，故D錯。
    28. C 綜合細節題。由第三段最一句Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised和第三四句 “I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note”可知，他不用看音符就能演奏鋼琴，故選C。
    29. B 推斷隱含意義。由第四段最后一句Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”可推出。
    30. B 選擇標題題。也屬主旨要義題。每段都有Samuel，全文都是說學法津的Samuel有音樂天才。
B
    It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收費站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
    It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.
    Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home.  When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.
    Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.
    “Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”
    The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!
31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
   A. She knew the car drivers well.     B. She wanted to show kindness.
   C. She hoped to please others.          D. She had seven tickets.
32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she _________.
   A. thought it was beautifully written
   B. wanted to know what it really meant
   C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall
   D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom
33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
   A. Judy Foreman.   B. Natalie Smith.    C. Alice Johnson.   D. Anne Herbert.
34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?
   A. Kindness and violence can change the world.
   B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.
   C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.
   D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
   A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.
   B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.
   C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.
   D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.
答案及解析：
    31. B 細節推斷題。第一段說Natalie Smith 為其后面的六輛車交費，第二段交等了其中的原因，是她看到的 “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”這句話給了她深刻印象，由此推斷，她是受這句話的啟發，“想給他人施恩”，故選B。
    32. A 細節理解題。由第三段第三句“I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters可知，選A。選項B文中無信息支持，無中生有；選項C“決定將其寫在倉庫墻上”與文中“看到離家很遠的一個倉庫墻上看到這句話”意義不同，張冠李戴；雖然文中有她老公將其寫在教室的墻上，但并不是她要他寫的，更不是她抄寫這句話的目的，與事實不符。
    33. D 細節理解題。本題是問“誰想出這句話來的”，由第四段中的 “It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper”可知，是Anne Herbert想出這句話來的。可用排除法，Natalie Smith是在朋友的冰霜上看到的，Judy Foreman是在倉庫的墻上抄下來的，Alice Johnson是從她女兒那得知的，她女兒是因為Judy Foreman的老公將此句寫在教室的墻上而得知的，故不是這三個人想出來的。
    34. C 推斷句子意義。推斷詞、短語或句子意思，需結合上下文去理解。本段中先是Anne Herbert解釋她想出的那句話意為：你認為(生活中或世界上)應該多一些存在的事，那么你就隨意去做這樣的事。接說著她想象中的這類事包括“給破舊教室粉墻”“在窮人區的廚房里留下熱飯”等善舉。那么該段結尾的話“善舉和暴力一樣可以在它們自己的基礎上建立起來”，其真正的含義是什么呢？再看看接下來這一段，特別是第一句“隨意的善舉是可以傳播或蔓延”，可知“善舉同暴力一樣是可以自我繁衍的”，故選C。
    35. B 推理判斷題。由最后一段的第一和第二句可以推知：受到恩惠的人很可能會施惠于他人，將恩惠傳播下去。
C
      Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
      I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
      Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
      After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
      Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

答案及解析：   
     本文作者敘述的是自己申請叫做燈塔計劃的志愿者工作的過程和被選作志愿者后去阿布加附近的一個小村莊工作的經歷，這段經歷讓作者學到了許多，改變了人生。
     36. A 細節理解題。由第一段第二句 “My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical”可知，作者的大學教育注重的是理解知識，選A。
     37. A 推理判斷題。由第二段最后一句In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family(總之，我并不是輕易決定申請燈塔計劃的，我的家人也一樣不是輕易決定的)和第三段首句Eventually, however, I won the support of my family(然而，最后我贏得了家人的贊同)可以推斷出，作者是同家人討論商量過的。
     38. D 推理判斷題。由第二段的第二句 “After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone”可推知，作者面臨了與其他候選人的激烈競爭。選項A“參加了許多討論”，文中無信息支持，是無中生有，應排除；選項B“經歷了富有挑戰性的生存測試”，特別是由survival可知，編題者利用了文中的只言片語(survive, test)，編造與文中不符的信息，迷惑考生，應排除；選項C“寫了相當多的有關志愿者工作的論文”與文中“sent in all the paperwork needed for the application(呈送申請所需要的文書)”不符，應排除。故選D。
     39. C 細節理解題。由第四段Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family可知，一到達這個村莊時，他受到村民的熱情接待，故選C。文中信息具體，正確選項是對其概括。
     40. A 推理判斷題。由最后一段第一句all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did(他當初覺得奇怪或不尋常的所有事現在都不再覺得奇怪了)可推斷，已適應了，但當初不適應時要適應這些，是有困難的，故選A。
D
      Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
      Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
      The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海灘搜尋) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.
      As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
   A. fitting rooms             B. trading fairs
   C. business talks           D. group meetings
42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _______.
   A. what caused the shipping accident
   B. when and where the shoes went missing
   C. whether it was all right to use their shoes
   D. how much they lost in the shipping accident
43. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
   A. By collecting information from beachcombers.
   B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
   C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.
   D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ________.
   A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
   B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
   C. running a global currents research association
   D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
   A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.
   B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
   C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
   D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.
答案及解析：
    本文是說明文，介紹了一種研究洋流的特別方式。
    41. B 詞義猜測題。由前面的so many shoes和后面的to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear，特別是sell，可知是建立交易市場，故選B。
    42. C 細節理解題。由第二段二、三、四句 “He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment”可知，選C。
    43. A 細節理解題。由第三段第二句Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them (serious beachcombers) and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed及其后幾句可知，選A，“通過海灘清理者收集信息”。
    44. D 細節理解題。由第四段第一句Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean可知，選D。
    45. C 寫作目的題，也屬主旨大意題。文章主題句在第一段，即However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way---by studying movements of random floating garbage，由此可知選C。

    Oseola McCarty spent more than 75 years washing and ironing other people’s clothes. As a laundrywoman, she was paid only a few dollars each time. Certainly nobody would consider her rich, so they were all amazed when Miss McCarty decided to donate $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi.
    The money was in fact her life savings. She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a vey simple life. She never learned to drive, and when she wanted to go somewhere, she just walked. She never flew to anywhere till the donation(捐贈) and in 50 years she had been out of the South only once. The house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her. Only after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country. Since then, she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited to the White House.
    Her donation was for students who clearly needed financial help.She herself left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children. She said to the reporters that the idea of helping somebody’s child go to college gave her much pleasure.

參考范文：
Version 1:
    Oseola McCarty was a laundrywoman for more than 75 years. She  earned a few dollars each time. But she donated $150,000 which was her life savings to help the students who needed financial help.
    I think her behavior is worth praising and very unselfish. Everyone should help others in need. But how much to donate should be based on our actual situation. The $150,000 is very helpful to the students who have financial problems. They can buy many things they need as other students. And they may be more grateful and kinder. Therefore, it’s more likely for them to help others in the future.
    If I am going to give donations, I will choose students too. They are in the most important period in their life. They need to get a long education. They have to buy a lot of books, pencil-cases, pens, erasers and so on, which will certainly cost a lot. They are growing up rapidly, which needs a lot of nutrition. If they don’t have enough money, they can’t eat enough food and take in enough energy. In a word, money is very important to students.(189 words)
