At 74 James Patterson has sold more than 425 million copies of his 200 novels globally, making him one of the highest paid authors in the world. “I do not work for a living. I play for a living. I love doing it,” Patterson tells CNBC. But Patterson’s road to success didn’t happen overnight. He started writing as a side hustle and he faced a lot of rejection before getting his first book published.

Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother. Despite having dreams of being a writer, the idea “always seemed presumptuous”, Patterson says. But after reading books by James Joyce, “it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing,” he says.

After college, Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. While climbing the corporate ladder, Patterson wrote his first book, The Thomas Berryman Number in the mid-70s. The book “got turned down by 31 publishers”, Patterson says. But after it was finally published in 1976, “then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel.” The Edgar Award, which is named after Edgar Alan Poe, honors the best writers in mystery fiction and non-fiction.

Despite publishing his first book at age 26, Patterson didn’t have a bestseller until he was 40. “It wasn’t like all of a sudden,” he says. In fact, Patterson kept his day job for decades and got promoted to CEO of J. Walter Thompson in 1988. During that time, Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity. “I have a huge imagination and I’m constantly asking, what about this? What about that?” he says.

Despite his success, Patterson says he doesn’t like to give advice, especially about writing. But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion. “I also don’t take myself too seriously,” he says. “Yeah, I sell a lot of books, so what?”

4. What do we know about James Patterson?

A. He produced a bestseller when he was 26.

B. He read a lot of books to get source of inspiration.

C. He worked as a full-time writer when he was young.

D. He got inspiration for his first book when climbing a ladder.

5. What does the underlined word “presumptuous” mean in paragraph 2?

A. Unrealistic. B. Contradictory. C. Imaginative. D. Inspiring.

6. What can we infer about James Patterson from the last paragraph?

A. He has sold a lot of books. B. He doesn’t take his job seriously.

C. He values positive attitudes to work. D. He is unwilling to give advice to readers.

7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Secret to Career Success B. A Tough Road to a Bestseller Writer

C. An Edgar Award Winner D. A Not-to-be-missed Fiction

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了畅销书作者James Patterson的相关事迹。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句提到“Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity”（帕特森说，在那段时间里，他每年会阅读超过100本书，以发自己的创造力)可知，Patterson通过大量的阅读来获取灵感。故选B。

【5题详解】

词义猜测题。第二段第一句“Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother.”（帕特森在纽约纽堡的树林中长大，父亲是保险推销员，母亲是教师)和该段最后一句“it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing”(读了James Joyce的书之后，它真的让我对阅读产生了兴趣，然后我开始写作)推知，在这样一个父母工作比较稳定的家庭里，作家这个职业相对有些不切实际、不稳定。A.Unrealistic不现实的；B.Contradictory相反的；C Imaginative充满想象力的；D.Inspiring鼓舞人心的。A项符合文意。故选A。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。最后一段最后两句提到“But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion.“I also don’t take myself too seriously” he says.“Yeah, I sell a lot of books. so what? （但他将自己的成功归功于自己的职业道德和激情。“我也不太把自己当回事，”他说。“是啊，我卖了很多书，那又怎样?”）可知，Patterson认为是自己对于写作的积极态度才取得了成功。故选C。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。综合文章内容可知，第二段提到Patterson最开始成为作家的梦想是“不切实际的”，第三段提到了Patterson在成为作家之前的工作经历，并且为了写作每年要看一百多本书的积累。虽然Patterson在26岁时就发表了自己的第一本书，但是在他40岁的时候才成为一名畅销书作家。由此判断，Patterson成为作家的道路并不是一帆风顺的。B项“成为畅销书作家的艰难之路”，符合文意。故选B。

Everyone needs a buddy, even sharks. Sharks are often described as Hollywood monsters, the lone wolves hiding in the deep, hunting for prey. But that description of sharks is increasingly out of step with what scientists are learning about the animals. Instead, they say, some species of sharks are social creatures who return day after day to a group of the same fellow sharks.

Papastamatious’s team studied gray reef sharks living in the waters off Palmyra Atoll Island. They attached small location transmitters to track the animals’ movements around the reef. After tracking the sharks for four years, the researchers found that the same groups of sharks frequently returned to the same parts of the reef repeatedly. They also found that some of the groups stuck together longer than previous studies have observed.

The sharks might be motivated to stay together, Papastamatious says, because it makes hunting for food easier. “If we hang out together and I see something, then you can come and try and take advantage of that,” he says. “And alternatively, if you see something, then I can try and take advantage of that.”

He emphasizes that the sharks don’t hunt together, but says that as long as the group isn’t too large—which would raise competition and conflict-socializing appears to benefit the sharks. And that may be one of the factors that led to sociality in the species.

David Shiffman, who studies sharks’ ecology and conservation at Arizona State University, says he was surprised to learn the sharks stuck together for so long. “I mean, I don’t have a lot of friends I do that with,” he jokes.

Sharks are amazing creatures, Shiffman says. In addition to knowing where to grab a bite by watching their friends, he says, some species of sharks can also learn to solve simple puzzles, just by watching other sharks solve them. Given their intelligence and social abilities, he says perhaps it’s time to drop prejudices about sharks. “It turns out that they are a lot smarter than most people think, and they have come complex ability to process their environment and learn and change,” Shiffman says.

8. Why do some sharks keep together?

A. To go back to the same reef. B. To have fun.

C. To scare other sharks away. D. To hunt for food with ease.

9. In which group may sharks like socializing?

A. A large group. B. A competitive group.

C. A small group. D. A group filled with conflicts.

10. What can be inferred about sharks from their behaviour?

A. They are still developing. B. They are intelligent.

C. They are hiding themselves. D. They are aggressive.

11. Where is this text probably from?

A. A science magazine. B. A travel brochure.

C. An encyclopedia. D. A news remark.

【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。科学家发现一些种类的鲨鱼是群居动物，它们日复一日地回到同一群鲨鱼身边，文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“The sharks might be motivated to stay together, Papastamatious says, because it makes hunting for food easier.(Papastamatious说，鲨鱼可能会被激励待在一起，因为这样可以更容易猎食)”可知，有些鲨鱼会聚集在一起是为了轻松地寻找食物。故选D。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“He emphasizes that the sharks don’t hunt together, but says that as long as the group isn’t too large—which would raise competition and conflict-socializing appears to benefit the sharks.(他强调，鲨鱼不会一起捕猎，但他说，只要群体不是太大——这会增加竞争和冲突——社交似乎对鲨鱼有利)”可知，鲨鱼喜欢在小群体中社交。故选C。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It turns out that they are a lot smarter than most people think, and they have come complex ability to process their environment and learn and change(事实证明，他们比大多数人认为的要聪明得多，他们拥有处理环境、学习和改变的复杂能力)”可推知，从鲨鱼的行为可以推断出他们很聪明。故选B。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone needs a buddy, even sharks. Sharks are often described as Hollywood monsters, the lone wolves hiding in the deep, hunting for prey. But that description of sharks is increasingly out of step with what scientists are learning about the animals. Instead, they say, some species of sharks are social creatures who return day after day to a group of the same fellow sharks. (每个人都需要朋友，鲨鱼也不例外。鲨鱼经常被描述为好莱坞的怪物，孤独的狼躲藏在深处，寻找猎物。但是，这种对鲨鱼的描述与科学家们对这种动物的了解越来越不一致。相反，他们说，一些种类的鲨鱼是群居动物，它们日复一日地回到同一群鲨鱼身边)”结合文章主要说明了科学家发现一些种类的鲨鱼是群居动物，它们日复一日地回到同一群鲨鱼身边，并且介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现。可推知，文章可能来自科学杂志。故选A。

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.

About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.

As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. “I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. “The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”

According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.

If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.

12. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?

A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.

C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.

13. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?

A. It is meaningful in the long term.

B. It makes people become lazy.

C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.

D. It affects our body and mind.

14. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?

A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.

C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.

B. The snooze button and people’s character.

C. Should you rely on the snooze button?

D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?

【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。很多人习惯于早上设置闹钟，并在闹钟响起后再睡一会儿，文章讲述了这种做法的坏处，并给出了科学的作息方案。

12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.”可知，根据社交媒体上的小调查，按下小睡按钮是很多人都有的习惯，与B选项含义一致。故选B项。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy.”可知，在一些睡眠专家看来，起床后小睡会迷惑身体和大脑，D选项“它会影响身体和大脑”含义一致。故选D项。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle.”可知，作者给出的利用好闹钟的建议是，养成健康的睡眠周期，与A选项“养成良好的睡眠习惯”含义一致。故选A项。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。总览全文，主要围绕“snooze button”展开，文章先是引出了起床后小睡这种现象，继而引用专家和研究人员的观点指出其弊端所在，最后作者给出了合理的建议，C选项“你应该依赖小睡按钮吗？”切合主题，适合作为标题。故选C项。

【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一，其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型，要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项，我们必须排除干扰项，一般干扰项包括以下几种类型：1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理；2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息；3.推理过头型——引申过度，使得结论过于绝对化。第4小题对于标题的判断中，A选项“早晨保持清醒的办法”，B选项“小睡按钮和人们的性格”，D选项“如何避免浅睡模式”都不能如实准确反映文章主题，由此也可以确定正确答案。

第二节 (满分25分)

73. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.

We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a hose ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

注意：

1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1：

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2：

We had no idea where we were and it got dark.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Its abrupt appearance scared my horse, making it run off the track wildly. I spared no efforts to hold on as hard as I could and my dad was trying to keep up, extremely worried about my safety. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath. Relieved, we looked around trying to find the track. However, it was nowhere to be found. So aimlessly did the frightened horse run that we got lost unconsciously.

Paragraph 2:

We had no idea where we were and it got dark. Nothing in sight was familiar and neither did we know where the farm house was. Just at the point of desperation, from the distance came a faint voice. “It must be Uncle Paul,” I exclaimed excitedly. That we didn’t come back for dinner made him realize something unusual might have happened. So my uncle went out to look for us. Finally, we reached our uncle’s farm house safe and sound.

【解析】

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了父亲带儿子去西部荒野的一个朋友家体验农场生活，见父亲和叔叔骑马，儿子也很想骑，于是亲身上马体验的经历。

【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“突然，一只小兔子跳到了我的马前。”可知，第一段可描写兔子出现后带来的反应扩展开，可以写马的反应，也可以写人的反应，但要注意与第二段首句相呼应。

②由第二段首句内容“我们不知道自己在哪里，天黑了。”可知，第二段可呼应前文保罗叔叔的叮嘱——不要误吃晚饭，可从如何寻路返回农场去写。

2.续写线索：兔子出现——马受惊——迷路——天黑——被叔叔找到——到达农舍
