At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered，with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.This meeting would decide his future life，and he obviously knew it. “You may wonder，Sir Percival，”said Laura calmly，“if I am going to ask to be released(免除)from my promise to marry you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father’s wishes too much.” His face relaxed a little，but one of his feet kept beating the carpet. “No，if we are going to withdraw(退出)from our planned marriage，it will be because of your wish，not mine.”
“Mine?”he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing?” “A reason that is very hard to tell you，”she answered.“There is a change in me.” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color.He turned his head to one side. “What change?”he asked，trying to appear calm. “When the promise was made two years ago，”she said，“my love did not belong to anyone.Will you forgive me，Sir Percival，if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?” “I wish you to understand，”Laura continued，“that I will never see this person again，and that if you leave me，you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.” “I will do both those things，”he said.Then he looked at Laura，as if he was waiting to hear more. “I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage，”she added quietly. “No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you，”he said. 1.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura? A.Angry. B.Calm. C.Nervous. D.Excited. 2.We can learn from the passage that . A.Laura had once promised to marry Percival B.Laura’s father wished to end her marriage
C.Percival had been married to Laura for two years D.Percival asked to be released from the marriage 3.The passage is probably taken out of . A.a novel B.a report C.a diary D.an essay 技巧点拨 高考阅读理解之五大常考考点(1) 第一点：开头结尾常考 记叙文开头交代文章的时间、地点、人物关系，结尾往往总结出文章的主旨抑或有几句含金量很高的句子，可以作为推断题、细节题滋生的天然土壤。说明文开头总写，每段第一句话总写该段段意，最后一段下结论，总结全文。议论文开头引出话题抑或提出论点，最后一段总结论点。从中可以看出，无论是记叙文、说明文还是议论文，文章中最重要的段落，往往是开头与结尾，所以对于开头与结尾一定要认真理解，尤其是文章中最后一段的最后一句话。

2 Almost nine-in-ten pupils now have a mobile compared with fewer than three-quarters who have their own books in the home，it was disclosed.The study by the National Literacy Trust suggested a link between regular access to books outside school and high test scores. 3 Research led by Nevada University，in the United States，said that children coming from a “bookish home” remained in education for around three years longer than young people born into families with empty bookshelves，regardless of parents’ own education，occupation and social class. 4 By ensuring children have access to reading materials in the home and by encouraging children to love reading，families can help them to do well at school and to enjoy opportunities throughout their life.
As part of the latest study，the trust surveyed more than 17，000 schoolchildren aged 7 to 16.It found that 85.5 per cent of pupils had their own mobile phones，compared with 72.6 per cent who had their own books.Among children in Key Stage 2—aged 7 to 11—79.1 per cent had a mobile phone compared with 72.7 per cent who had access to books. 5 A.It fuels fears over a drop in reading.
B.Family encouragement is the essentially important too.
C.Children are more likely to own a mobile phone than a book. D.Reading activities at home have significant positive influences. E.That could increase children’s chances of doing well at school.
F.The findings cause concerns over the effect of modern technology on young people.
G.Children from richer home literacy environments show higher levels of reading knowledge.

话题31 谈话交流
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】作者通过朋友将人们对待手中水的态度和对待爱的态度所做的类比，告诉我们一个听起来简单但需用一生去实践的道理：如果你有爱的人，允许他们自由随意地存在，给予而不指望，建议而不命令，请求而不要求。
1.C 根据常识可知作者和朋友应是坐在游泳池的“边沿，边缘”，edge 符合题意。 2.B 朋友用手掌捧满水，fill意为“充满，装满”，符合题意。
3.D 朋友问：“你仔细看(被盛在)我手里的水了吗？”contain可表此意。include意为“包括”；leave意为“留下”，均不合题意。stay是不及物动词，不能用过去分词表被动。
4.B as long as意为“只要”，符合句意。句意：只要你充满关爱地弯曲着你的手?? 5.C 只有张开手充满关爱地弯曲着手指，水才能不外溢。open 意为“张开”，符合题意。
6.A 根据上下文意思，本处需用表转折的词，however 符合句意。句意：但是，如果你试图把你的手指在它周围合起并试图占有它，它会通过它找到的缝溢出去。 7.B 应是“把手指在它周围合起来”，故用fingers。
8.A 水会通过手指缝溢出，through意为“透过，通过”，符合句意。
9.D 根据下文They fail to handle it well.可知人们在遇到爱时会“犯错”。make mistakes为固定搭配。
10.C 结合第9题可知，人们在遇到爱时会犯错，而不是遇到“水”“生命”或“水池”。love符合句意。 11.D 人们犯的错就是：试图占有、要求、期待??possess意为“占有”，符合句意。
12.A “就像水从手掌中溢出”用spilling。上文也有提示。 “leave” 不用再加 “out of” ，语意也
不合适。blow意为“(风)吹”，pour意为“倾泻”，不合题意。故选A。
13.D 根据本文主题，作者想表达“爱意味着自由随意，你不能改变它的本性”这样的观点，free 意为“自
由的”，符合句意。
14.C disappointed意为“失望的”，符合句意。句意：如果我们对我们爱的人期待过多，也许会更失望。 15.D see可表示“听懂，理解”；recognize 意为“识别出”；think “想，认为”，均不合题意。 realize 意
为“意识到”，符合句意。句意：很不幸，许多人只有当爱不再有时才意识到这一点。 16.B order意为“命令”，符合句意。句意：建议而不命令。
17.D 由句意“可能听起来简单，但这需要一辈子去实践”可知前半句用simple。
18.B 本定语从句主语为that，代替lesson之意，所以谓语动词用take。其他三个词的主语应是人。 19.C 本句要表达“这就是爱的秘诀”，secret符合句意。meaning和point与of搭配。place不合题意。
故选C。
20.B 根据全文，作者要建议我们“你必须对那些你爱的人没有期望，并给予无条件的关爱”，应用
expectations。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一个记叙文片段，记叙了一对青年男女Sir Percival和Laura的见面，主要谈的是Laura是像两年前承诺的那样嫁给Sir Percival，还是会免除婚约。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句话“整11点的时候Sir Percival敲门并进来了，脸上满是焦虑和
担心”以及第三段的“他的一只脚不停地踢地毯”及第七段的“他的脸色变得如此苍白，以致嘴唇没了血色”可知，在Sir Percival和Laura的会面过程中Sir Percival一直很紧张，故选C项nervous“紧张的”。A项angry“生气的”在文中没有体现，B项calm“冷静的”以及D项excited“兴奋的”也与文中Sir Percival的表现不符，故排除。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第九段“当两年前作出这一承诺的时候??”可知“Laura曾经答应嫁给Percival”，
故A项正确；根据第二段中“我没有打算要求免除婚约。我非常尊重我父亲的意愿”可知，“Laura
第4 页，共 34页

的父亲希望Laura嫁给Percival，而不是免除婚约”，故排除B项；“Laura只是两年前答应嫁给Percival，而不是已经结婚两年”，故排除C项；再根据全文特别是文章的最后一段“你说了足够多的话使得娶你成为我一生当中最宝贵的愿望”可知“Percival不想免除婚约”，故D项错误。
3.A 推理判断题。这篇文章记叙的是一对青年男女Sir Percival和Laura的见面，符合小说的写作风格，
且既无前因，也无后果，应该是摘自小说的一部分。A项novel“小说”；B项report“报道”，侧重新闻方面；C项diary“日记，日志”，通常以第一人称记叙；D项essay“杂文，小品文，散文，随笔”。 Ⅲ.【语篇解读】研究发现，在科技飞速发展的今天，一个孩子更有可能拥有一部手机而不是一本书。但是一个家庭的书的拥有量的多少很大程度上决定了孩子的在校表现，而父母的鼓励也起到至关重要的作用。 1.C 文章下一段和最后一段都说到了现在的孩子得到一部手机是那么容易，但是书的持有量却低于手机，
这是个引人深思的问题，该项的more likely to own a mobile phone than a book容易引起人们对这个社会现象的关注。
2.A 本段前两句说明的是孩子的手机持有量比书多这一事实，而这引起了人们的担心：那就是孩子的阅
读量一定会随之减少。题中drop和fewer than three-quarters who have their own books吻合。 3.E 该项中的chances of doing well at school 和本段第五句的outside school and high test scores
吻合，说明书的数量的多少对一个孩子的影响的大小。
4.B 该项中的Family encouragement 和下一句中的encouraging children to love reading吻合，说明
家庭鼓励的重要性。
5.F 本段是通过数据说明孩子们拥有手机的数量之大，而这引起了人们对年轻一代在教育上的担忧，该
项中的concerns over the effect of modern technology on young people是对这些数据的总结。 Ⅳ.One possible version:
