Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I took out the nail scissors to cut them all off.“What are you doing, Mom？” m
2、y daughter cried. “Your nails look great! Dont cut them！”“But theyre ruined，” I said, waving the broken one in her face.“Theyre not ruined，” she said. “You still have nine nails left！”I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand. My nails certainly werent perfect anymore, and the opposite of “per
3、fect” is “ruined”， right? I mean, this is how I think about most things: Its all or nothing. Take my finances for example.I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family. And then one day, Ill see something expensive that I really like and buy it. Then, I
4、 think to myself “Well, I already spent $100 on that dress last week, so I may as well spend $50 on this lipstick (口红)” and give up saving entirely. Ive thought about why I act this way, but I dont know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from “good” to “complete disaster” in a matter of moments
5、. My brain only sees “perfection” or “disaster”， which is extremely unhelpful.We humans are never just good or bad we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively (本能地), while others struggle. For most
6、 of us, learning not to do the thing were used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesnt mean weve failed. We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong.Indeed, failure is part of life. We all fall occasionall
7、y, and we normally get things straight back up. And so, with my daughters words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands, but Im determined to live with my choice. Its a perfect exercise in imperfection. Maybe soon, Ill switch off my comp
8、uter the next time I feel like I might buy something else I dont need, although I may need my daughter there to guide me again.语篇解读：本文通过讲述作者的个人经历启迪读者：不完美是生活的一部分，要学会接受它。1Why did the author want to cut off her nails?AShe got all of them ruined.BShe didnt like long nails at all.CShe didnt want to have
9、imperfect nails.DShe wanted to prevent them being broken.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“My nails certainly werent perfect anymore, and the opposite of perfect is ruined， right？”和对上文的整体理解可知，作者之所以要把指甲都剪掉是因为其中一个指甲断裂了，所以手指甲看起来就不完美了，故选C。2What is the authors problem with her life?AShe is rather crazy about shopping.
10、BShe looks at life in an extreme way.CShe is too careful with her finances.DShe is unwilling to change her mind.解析：选B推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句“My brain only sees perfection or disaster， which is extremely unhelpful”和倒数第二段第一句“We humans are never just good or bad we are far more complex”可推知，作者看问题很极端，故选B。3What

12、为失败是生活的一部分，故选A。BWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its atten
13、tion to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any legroom all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says. But it is not just the extratall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the populati
14、on has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged. “The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a kingsize bed at 66 (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed cate
15、rs for less than half of the male population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “sevenfoot beds would work fine.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the longlegged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhe
16、re. Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 66 beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个英国的高个子组织TPCGB在六个月以前向宾馆和酒店发起的针对高个子的一些特殊需求的活动。4What is the purpose of the TP
17、CGB campaign?ATo provide better services.BTo rebuild hotels and restaurants.CTo draw public attention to the needs of the tall.DTo attract more people to become its members.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels an
18、d restaurants”可知，TPCGB是为了让公众注意高个子的一些特殊需求。故选C。5Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A72B7C66 D63解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, sevenfoot beds would work fine.”可知，七英尺的床就够了。故选B。6What may happen to restaurants with small tables?AThey
19、 may lose some customers.BThey may start businesses elsewhere.CThey have to find easy chairs to match the tables.DThey have to provide enough space for the longlegged.解析：选A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，如果饭店使用小的桌子，自然就失去了高个子这样一类群体的顾客。故选A。7What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?ATall people pay mo
20、re for larger beds.B66 beds have taken the place of 63 beds.CSpecial rooms are kept for Americans.DGuest rooms are standardized.解析：选B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ . 66 beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.”可知，在爱丁堡，一个宾馆已将6.6英尺长的床作为标准放置在宾馆中。故选B。
21、CIts a little before 8 am. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicagos Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. Its the same routine hes had as Jenners art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “Its going to be a good day，” a collea
22、gue calls out. “Its a good day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except its not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.Schergen leaves behind a rich legacy at this school. Hes won grants (拨款) for art projects
23、. He turned an empty classroom into a museum. Hes pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded a Golden Apple the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasnt always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the citys toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my r
24、oom I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous，” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didnt even tell my wife for a whole year，” he says. “I didnt want her to know.”With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps t
25、he floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifthgrader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son，” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and
26、 being a help to me.”When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen：When your kids ask why youre retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too，” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. Its time. Its just time.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要记叙了Mathias Schergen，一
27、位令人尊敬的小学艺术老师，在上班的最后一天仍然尽职尽责的情况。8Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?AHe was retiring on that day.BHe won an honor for his school.CHe was interviewed by a reporter.DHe received a Golden Apple award.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It seems like a typical Friday.

28、ary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish”(这天似乎是一个平常的星期五，其实却不是。在詹纳小学待了23年之后，Schergen即将退休。即使在他上班的最后一天，也有艺术课题要完成)可知，这一天不同寻常是因为他这一天要退休。9What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AArt projects.BGreat achievements.CRespect from students.
29、DChange in teaching.解析：选B词义猜测题。下文介绍了Schergen为学校所作出的贡献、给学校带来的荣誉。这里的legacy指的就是他的成就。故答案为B。10What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school?ASafety concerns in the school.BThe poorlyequipped classroom.CBeing misunderstood by his family.DStudents poor academic performance.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第二段中的“W
30、hen I first got my room I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous”可知，有弹孔的窗户说明学校的安全令人担心，故答案为A。11What is the best title for the text?AA Typical Day for an Art TeacherBTime for Art ProjectsCA Teachers Final Day at SchoolDThe Last Art Class解析：选C标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了小学艺术老师Schergen最后一天
31、上班的情景，故答案为C。DAsk a man in the street what education is for, and an immediate response might be “for equipping young people with the skills to get a job”. Well, yes, but is education not about a lot more than that?Indeed, I would argue that it is because our British education holds a higher ideal (理想
32、) equipping young people with selfconfidence and an understanding of the world around them that it is booming internationally.Yet I believe that what makes our education great is being threatened by the ever increasing focus on teaching to the test. The focus has arisen because only by testing child
33、ren can we know what progress they have made. Its a paradox (自相矛盾), since the curriculum changes that are taking effect were designed to widen young peoples knowledge of the world around them.But please do not misunderstand me. I am not suggesting that tests should be withdrawn. I am saying that sch
34、ools need to have the confidence to aim much higher and wider than teaching to the test. They should put a rich learning experience for students first; the test should be used to validate (证实) learning, not an end in itself.Teachers count. A good many subject teachers know their departments have bee
35、n shortchanging their students, but they lack the selfconfidence and support to move away from teaching to the test. So, what is the secret to getting back on track? What good schools have known all along is that a staff room full of teachers with a good knowledge of what they are teaching, together
36、 with a passion and skill for communicating it, lies at the heart of the best education. Teachers insistence on putting their love of subjects first will produce more engaged (参与) students. And with more engaged students often come better examination results, greater selfconfidence and so on.Schools
37、 should also find the selfconfidence to put a focus on inspiring teachers who are keen to broaden what they teach. In this way, I believe educational achievement will improve.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章通过对教育目的的探讨告诉我们，学校应拓宽其教学内容并设定更高更广泛的教育目标。12Which is the purpose of education according to the author?AHelping y
38、oung people to have a job.BPreparing students for all kinds of tests.CMaking young people behave confidently.DEnabling young people to succeed in life.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，在作者看来，教育的目的在于让年轻人有自信并了解周围的世界。故选C。13What does the author think of tests at present?AFormal and competitive.BNecessary but imperfe
39、ct.CStandard but worthless.DImportant and functional.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet I believe that . what progress they have made”可知，为考试而教育的现状令作者担忧，而考试又是有必要的，因为考试能反映学生的进步情况；根据第四段中的“I am not suggesting that tests should be withdrawn”和“schools need to have the confidence to . not an end in itself”可知，作者并没有建议取消
40、考试，而是说学校应勇于追求比考试更广大的教育目标，考试本身不是教育的目的，而应被作为验证学习成果的方式。由此可推知，在作者看来，当下的考试必不可少但有一定缺陷。故选B。14What should teachers do to face the challenge according to the author?AArrange interesting classes to students taste.BTrain students according to new teaching standards.CEncourage students to express their love of
41、subjects.DFeel confident to care about more than examinations.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Teachers count . they lack the selfconfidence and support to move away from teaching to the test”“Teachers insistence . and so on”可知，虽然很多教师自己也知道学生被“亏待”了，但他们缺乏自信和支持来摆脱为考试而教育的方式；而作者认为教师将自己对学科的热爱放在首位能让学生的参与度更高，从而促成好的结果，比如更
42、好的考试成绩、学生更自信等。由此可推知，作者认为教师的关注不应仅限于考试。故选D。15What is a suitable title for the text?AWhat is the future of British education?BWhat is the true purpose of British education?CSchools must aim higher than teaching to the testDSchools should withdraw tests for the sake of students解析：选C标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，本文由“教育的目
43、的是什么”开篇，进而论述了学校应拓宽其教学内容并设定更高更广泛的教育目的，而不仅仅注重考试。故C项作本文标题最佳。文章第四段中的“schools need to have the confidence to aim much higher and wider than teaching to the test”亦是提示。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) How to Be OrganizedPack your backpack with all your supplies before going to bed. _16_.
