My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I didn’t mean to do it. Actually, it was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get pocket money. “My father is going to be extremely angry.” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger pulled it upward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I knew my teacher had never struck a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilty face. “Here is a field guide about birds. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving money to buy.
What my teacher taught me that day is about a lesson, which remains in my heart every day, and I will appreciate it forever.
4. From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to discover who broke the window D. knew what the teacher would find out
5. The boy thought the following would happen EXCEPT that________ if he admitted guilt.
A. He would be punished by the teacher B. He would make his father angry
C. He would pay for the broken window D. He would get a bird field guide
6. Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings
A. Afraid — Surprised — Thankful. B. Frightened — Amazed — Proud.
C. Regretful — Guilty — Excited. D. Nervous — Afraid — Satisfied.
7. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Bad luck never comes alone. D. It’s never too late to be careful.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个男孩无意打破了窗户，本以为闯祸会受到老师的惩罚，结果因为诚实承认过错，老师奖励了他最想要的观鸟指南，男孩从此明白要永远做一个诚实的人。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was the one who broke the window. But I didn’t mean to do it.（我是那个打破窗户的人。但我不是故意这样做的）”可知，是男孩打破的窗户，但他并不是故意打破窗户的。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get pocket money. My father is going to be extremely angry. (我怎么能支付起维修这样的大窗户的费用？我甚至都没有零用钱。我父亲会非常生气的)”以及第四段的“I knew my teacher had never struck a student, but I feared she was going to start with me. (我知道老师从来不打学生，但我担心她会从我开始）”可知，如果男孩承认了过错，他想自己可能会赔偿打破的窗户、让父亲生气以及被老师惩罚，但是他没有想过会得到一本观鸟指南。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第2题的分析可知，男孩担心自己承认了过错会被要求赔偿打破的窗户、让父亲生气和被老师惩罚，因此男孩内心当时感觉到的是“恐惧”；根据倒数第二段的“I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving money to buy.（我简直不敢相信!我没有受到惩罚，我有了自己的观鸟指南，它就是我一直攒钱想买的）”可知，男孩得知因为自己的诚实老师将观鸟指南送给了自己，他感到非常惊讶，不敢相信，即“惊讶”；根据最后一段的“What my teacher taught me that day is about a lesson, which remains in my heart every day, and I will appreciate it forever.（那天老师教给我的是一堂课，每天都留在我心里，我会永远感激）”可知，男孩最后非常感谢老师的这种教育方式，即“感激”。因此男孩的感情变化路线是“害怕——惊讶——感恩”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“What my teacher taught me that day is about a lesson, which remains in my heart every day, and I will appreciate it forever.（那天老师教给我的是一堂课，每天都留在我心里，我会永远感激）”可知，男孩的老师教给他要做诚实的人，这对男孩的影响很大。B项“诚实为上策”符合文意，可以作为标题。故选B。

Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP，标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents (口音).
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowestrated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.
Kong Seongjae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.
So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.
B. Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their on spoken English.
D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.
9. What do people think of the Brummie accent
A. Favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B. Closest to the RP accent.
C. Smart and easy to understand. D. Spoken by people of lower class.
10. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Speaking in a RP accent. B. Speaking in regional accents.
C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.
B. A comparison between different British accents.
C. How much British people value the RP accent.
D. The influence of regional accents on people’s lives.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍英国标准音之外的一些方言使用情况，说明了地方口音对人们生活的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Usually, there’s an assumption by many non Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP，标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. (通常，许多非英国人都认为每个英国人说话都带有所谓的标准发音(RP)口音，也被称为“标准英语”)”可知，非英国人通常认为所有的英国人都是标准口音。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The lowestrated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.(评分最低的是伯明翰口音，这是伯明翰人的母语，而伯明翰的口音被认为是劳动阶级的口音)”可知，人们认为下层阶级使用伯明翰口音。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.(然而，即使你说的不是标准发音，也没有必要感到失望。事实上，相反的做法甚至可以给你力量。)”可知，没有必要为自己不用标准发音感到失望，结合“In fact(事实上)”和下文第五段“British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent(当我使用一些当地方言单词时，英国人通常会非常兴奋，他们会变得更加友好。我认为用当地口音说话会在当地人和外国人之间建立一些联系)”更是揭示了使用地方口音真实的情况，所以“doing the opposite(相反的做法)”指的是“与标准发音相反的做法”，即“使用地方口音”。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Usually, there’s an assumption by many non Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP，标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.(通常，许多非英国人都认为每个英国人说话都带有所谓的标准发音(RP)口音，也被称为“标准英语”。然而，虽然很多人确实这样说话，但大多数英国人说的是他们自己的地方口音)”，第二段中“What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.(更令人失望的是，不说标准发音口音可能意味着一个英国人在日常生活中会受到不同的评判甚至对待)”和第五段中“British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent (当我使用一些当地方言单词时，英国人通常会非常兴奋，他们会变得更加友好。我认为用当地口音说话会在当地人和外国人之间建立一些联系)”可知，文章主要通过介绍英国标准音之外的一些方言使用情况，说明了地方口音对人们生活的影响。故选D。
D
Some people will say that you can place a value on anything. We may know the price of milk. We can also find out the value of the most expensive building in the world. Do you think it is possible to put a price on the Earth or other planets
You probably think this is impossible. Scientist Greg Laughlin thought differently. In March 2009, NASA sent the Kepler telescope (望远镜) into space to explore the Milky Way galaxy and to find Earth-sized planets orbiting (环绕) other stars. As there are billions of stars within the Milky Way, it could mean there were several thousand planets to discover. How could scientists decide which ones to study further and which ones to take no notice of
Professor Laughlin used information received from the Kepler telescope to create a formula (公式) that puts a price on planets. The age and size of each planet, its temperature, and the energy (能量) it created were considered. Older planets were given a higher value. The most important consideration was whether or not it may be possible for life to live on the planet.
By using his formula, Professor Laughlin found that planet Earth was the most important. He gave it a value of five quadrillion (千的五次幂) dollars. Mars was given a value of US$16,500 and Venus was valued at zero. That’s because it’s impossible to support life on Venus because it is too close to the Sun. The professor said that any planet that had a value of more than US$100 million was worth studying further.
By November 2018, about 1,200 planets in total had been looked at. Most of them were worthless because of their unsatisfactory conditions. So should you run to the bank and borrow US$16,500 so you can buy Mars Maybe not today. You should just enjoy the five quadrillion dollar planet you already live on — and learn how to look after it.
12. What purpose does the first paragraph serve
A. To describe the prices of different things.
B. To bring up the topic of values of planets.
C. To introduce a scientific question.
D. To show a research result.
13. What part of Laughlin’s formula carries the most value
A. A planet’s temperature.
B. A planet’s age and size.
C. The amount of energy a planet creates.
D. The possibility for life to live on a planet.
14. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Venus was valueless.
B. Venus is too close to the Sun.
C. Mars was much cheaper than Earth.
D. A planet was usually valued at over US$100 million.
15. What does the writer expect people to do in the last paragraph
A. To study space science. B. To protect and love Earth.
C. To save money to travel in space. D. To support scientific organizations.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家Greg Laughlin建立了一个公式，来给行星定价，估算它们的价值，作者也通过文章呼吁大家爱护地球。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第一段“Some people will say that you can place a value on anything. (有些人认为，你可以给任何东西赋予价值)”和“Do you think it is possible to put a price on the Earth or other planets (你认为有可能为地球或其他行星定价吗)”以及第二段“You probably think this is impossible. Scientist Greg Laughlin thought differently. (你可能认为这是不可能的。科学家Greg Laughlin的想法不同)”可推知，文章第一段阐述了一些人的观点，通过提出“能否给地球或其他行星定价”这一问题，来引出有关行星价值的话题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。通过文章第三段“The most important consideration was whether or not it may be possible for life to live on the planet. (最重要的考虑是生命是否可能在这颗行星上生存)”可知，Laughlin公式最有价值的一部分是生命在行星上生存的可能性。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。通过画线词上文“Venus was valued at zero (金星的价值为零)”以及下文“because it’s impossible to support life on Venus because it is too close to the Sun (因为金星离太阳太近，不可能生存)”可推知，画线词“That”指代的是上文提及的“金星没有价值”这件事。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“learn how to look after it (学会如何照顾它)”可推知，作者呼吁我们要保护和热爱地球。故选B项。

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I didn’t mean to do it. Actually, it was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get pocket money. “My father is going to be extremely angry.” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger pulled it upward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I knew my teacher had never struck a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilty face. “Here is a field guide about birds. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving money to buy.
What my teacher taught me that day is about a lesson, which remains in my heart every day, and I will appreciate it forever.
4. From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to discover who broke the window D. knew what the teacher would find out
5. The boy thought the following would happen EXCEPT that________ if he admitted guilt.
A. He would be punished by the teacher B. He would make his father angry
C. He would pay for the broken window D. He would get a bird field guide

C. Regretful — Guilty — Excited. D. Nervous — Afraid — Satisfied.
7. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Bad luck never comes alone. D. It’s never too late to be careful.
C
Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP，标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents (口音).
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowestrated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.
Kong Seongjae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.
So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.

D
Some people will say that you can place a value on anything. We may know the price of milk. We can also find out the value of the most expensive building in the world. Do you think it is possible to put a price on the Earth or other planets
You probably think this is impossible. Scientist Greg Laughlin thought differently. In March 2009, NASA sent the Kepler telescope (望远镜) into space to explore the Milky Way galaxy and to find Earth-sized planets orbiting (环绕) other stars. As there are billions of stars within the Milky Way, it could mean there were several thousand planets to discover. How could scientists decide which ones to study further and which ones to take no notice of
Professor Laughlin used information received from the Kepler telescope to create a formula (公式) that puts a price on planets. The age and size of each planet, its temperature, and the energy (能量) it created were considered. Older planets were given a higher value. The most important consideration was whether or not it may be possible for life to live on the planet.
By using his formula, Professor Laughlin found that planet Earth was the most important. He gave it a value of five quadrillion (千的五次幂) dollars. Mars was given a value of US$16,500 and Venus was valued at zero. That’s because it’s impossible to support life on Venus because it is too close to the Sun. The professor said that any planet that had a value of more than US$100 million was worth studying further.
By November 2018, about 1,200 planets in total had been looked at. Most of them were worthless because of their unsatisfactory conditions. So should you run to the bank and borrow US$16,500 so you can buy Mars Maybe not today. You should just enjoy the five quadrillion dollar planet you already live on — and learn how to look after it.
12. What purpose does the first paragraph serve
A. To describe the prices of different things.
B. To bring up the topic of values of planets.
C. To introduce a scientific question.
D. To show a research result.
13. What part of Laughlin’s formula carries the most value
A. A planet’s temperature.
B. A planet’s age and size.
C. The amount of energy a planet creates.
D. The possibility for life to live on a planet.
14. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Venus was valueless.
B. Venus is too close to the Sun.
C. Mars was much cheaper than Earth.
D. A planet was usually valued at over US$100 million.
15. What does the writer expect people to do in the last paragraph
A To study space science. B. To protect and love Earth.
C. To save money to travel in space. D. To support scientific organizations.
