Ⅰ.阅读理解
Playing basketball isn't ladylike.That's what Jewell Chapman's high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls' basketball program.
“We were very discouraged，” said Chapman，a forward(前锋)for her high school team of Des Moines.
Nearly 50 years later，Chapman is back on the playground.She's 62 and plays for “Hot Pink Grannies”，joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks.They play in the Iowa Granny Basketball League.
It's one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country.For some，it's a chance to exercise and meet people; for others，it's a once-refused chance to make up.
“You see more and more elderly women's teams taking part in state and national competitions，” said Michael Rogers，a professor in sports studies at Wichita State University.“In the future it will be something common to have leagues like this.”
Yearly surveys by the National Sporting Goods Association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16,000 in 1995 to nearly 131,000 ten years later.
The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good-natured but competitive when game time comes.
“I think I'm tough”，says Colleen Pulliam,69，showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against “Strutters”，known for their bright yellow socks.
Granny Basketball Leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country，including California，Louisiana，New Mexico，Pennsylvania and Washington，D.C.
【语篇解读】 本文报道了美国涌现出许多55岁以上女士为成员的篮球俱乐部。一些成员是为了锻炼或交友，另一些成员则是为了追求曾经的梦想，如62岁的Jewell Chapman年轻时就因为人们的偏见而放弃了篮球，而在差不多50年之后重返球场。
1．Which is right about Chapman?
A．She thinks playing basketball isn't ladylike.
B．She is now 62 years old and feels discouraged.
C．She plays basketball again about 50 years later.
D．She is a forward in the Hot Pink Grannies.
C [细节理解题。由文章第三段“Nearly 50 years later，Chapman is back on the playground.”可知，Chapman在将近50年之后重返篮球场。 A项“not ladylike”是60年代Chapman高中校长的认知；B项“feels discouraged”和D项“a forward in the Hot Pink Grannies”犯了移花接木的错误。故答案为C。]
2．The underlined sentence “it's a once-refused chance to make up” in the fourth paragraph means .
A．it is chance to realize their old dream
B．it is chance to take part in sports
C．it is chance to earn a reputation
D．it is chance to compete for medals
A [推理判断题。综观全文，这些大龄妇人打篮球并非为名或争奖牌。Chapman的例子说明，因为妇女打篮球过去被认为not ladylike，许多人因discouraged而放弃，如今重拾梦想。故A项正确。once-refused chance，曾遭剥夺的机会。]
3．Who is probably a player of “Hot Oink Grannies”？
A．Des Moines. B．Colleen Pulliam.
C．Michael Rogers. D．Strutters.
B [细节理解题。文章第七段说Hot Pink队员竞争性强，第八段举出Colleen Pulliam为例说明。A项是学校名；C项是一位教授；D项是球队名。故答案为B。]
4．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Some elderly women play basketball with the purpose of getting wealthy.
B．Granny Basketball Leagues have spread all over the USA.
C．The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good-natured and less competitive.
D．The number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball has greatly increased.
D [推理判断题。A项错在with the purpose of getting wealthy; B项错在all over the USA(见文章最后一段)；C项错在less competitive。据文章倒数第四段可知D项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
For each working person, occupied with endless things to do, you can always find that more things are not part of your job，such as other colleagues asking for your help or bosses making new demands. 1 In fact, just by doing the following three steps, you can usually make yourself and the other person comfortable while refusing them.
●Listen attentively.
What you need to do is stop what you're doing, and carefully listen to what they say. Even if your time is limited, it is best for you to do so. 2 In this way, even if you eventually refuse them, they will understand that you are not available. In addition, this willing-to-help attitude is also a helping hand of leadership.
●Start with a conclusion when refusing.
There is a saying goes like “People tend to judge others by results.” 3 We all hope that other people will come to a conclusion quickly, but when we speak, we instinctively start from the beginning of the story and the other person usually does not have so much patience to hear you finish your speaking, and by the time you come to the conclusion, their attention has long gone.
If you want to refuse somebody, just tell them NO, and then explain the reasons why.
● 4
Maybe you really don't have the time to listen to the other person's request. For example, you have to get off work on time that day and the work at hand is urgent. In situations like this，don't just tell the other person that you don't have the time. 5 In addition，if you have finished listening to the other person's needs and finally choose to refuse him, you can also recommend to him a person who you feel can help him.
In a word, refusal is inevitable, but the way of refusal is optional.
A．Provide an alternative solution.
B．How can we reasonably refuse them?
C．This principle can also be applied to daily conversations.
D．It is polite to offer help without hesitation at his or her request.
E．The point is to let the other person see that you are willing to help.
F．Instead, you should give them some time when you would be available.
G．An inappropriate refusal may cause great harm to your working life.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了恰当拒绝别人的方法，包括认真倾听对方的要求、以结论作为开始、为对方提供可供选择的解决方法。
1．B [根据空处所在的位置可知，空处承上启下；由空处下文“In fact，just by doing the following three steps，you can usually make yourself and the other person comfortable while refusing them”可知，通过以下三个步骤，你可以在让你和他人都感到自在的情况下拒绝他们；据此可推知，空处应是说如何有理由地拒绝他们，故B项正确。 ]
2．E [根据空处上文“What you need to do is stop what you're doing，and carefully listen to what they say.Even if your time is limited，it is best for you to do so”可知，你需要做的是停止你正在做的事情，仔细听他们说，即使你的时间有限；结合常识可知，此举是让他人知道你愿意帮助他们，故E项与此处匹配。]
3．C [根据该部分的标题“Start with a conclusion when refusing”可知，该部分主要论述“从结论开始拒绝”这一方法；根据空处下文“We all hope that other people will come to a conclusion quickly，but when we speak，we instinctively start from the beginning of the story and the other person usually does not have so much patience to hear you finish your speaking, and by the time you come to the conclusion，their attention has long gone”可知，我们都希望别人很快就会说出结论，但当我们说话时，我们本能地会从故事的开始说起，他人通常没有那么多耐心听你说完，在你得出结论的时候，他们的注意力早已经不在了。据此可知，空处表示“这种原则也适用于日常谈话”，故C项正确。]
4．A [根据文章结构以及空处所在的位置可知，该空为小标题；根据该部分中的“In addition，if you have finished listening to the other person's needs and finally choose to refuse him，you can also recommend to him a person who you feel can help him”可知，如果你已经听完了对方的需求，最后选择拒绝他时，你也可以向他推荐一个你觉得可以帮助他的人。据此可知，该部分主要论述“提供一个可替代的解决方法”，故A项正确。]
5．F [根据空处上文“In situations like this，don't just tell the other person that you don't have the time”可知，在这种情况下，不要仅仅告诉对方你没有时间。故F项“相反，当你有空的时候，你应该给他们一些时间”符合语境，衔接上下文。]
Ⅲ.语法填空
A few years ago，after a long morning of sightseeing in New York，my children and I took a rest on a park bench in Central Park.
“Look！” my son said，1. (point) to a nearby rubbish bin.That's when we saw a raccoon (浣熊)．Quite feeling at home in the big city，he paid us no attention，concentrating only on finding a 2.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要叙述了作者与孩子们几年前遇见一只浣熊的经历。
1．pointing [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，动词point与句子的谓语动词said之间没有连词，且point与其逻辑主语my son之间为主谓关系，所以用其现在分词形式作状语。]
2．tasty [考查词形转换。此处修饰名词lunch，需用其形容词形式，所以填tasty“美味的”。]
3．held [考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，hold和其逻辑主语a wrapped sandwich之间是动宾关系，故此处应用其过去分词形式作后置定语。]
4．Surprisingly [考查副词。句意：令人吃惊的是，他跳下来然后漫不经心地走到路上的一个地点，而没有跑开，离我们坐的地方不到一米。根据句意可知，此处应用其副词形式Surprisingly修饰整个句子。]
5．where [考查状语从句。句意参见上题解析。根据句意并结合句子结构可知，此处应用where引导宾语从句，作介词from的宾语。]
6．entertainment [考查名词。根据空前的“better”可推知，此处应填其名词形式entertainment，意为“娱乐”，是不可数名词。]
7．if/whether [考查名词性从句。句意：他看了我们一眼，也许是想察看是否我们打算偷他的午餐。根据空前的“see”，并结合句意可知，此处应用if/whether“是否”引导宾语从句，作及物动词see的宾语。]
8．With [考查介词。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作状语，意为“用”，故填With。 ]
9．was uncovered [考查动词的时态和语态。句意：他用纤细的手指剥去塑料包装层，直到未吃完的三明治露了出来。根据该句中的“peeled back”可知，此处应用一般过去时；且sandwich与uncover之间为被动关系，故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。]
10．dipped [考查动词的时态。通读全文可知，本文叙述的是发生在过去的事情，且根据空前的“turned to”和并列连词“and”可知，此处用一般过去时。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Pilates，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy.There is，however，a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive，but has all the benefits－walking.
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains，“What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level.Plus，it is good for your heart，your head and your wallet.”
A recent report details the health benefits of walking.The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37,000 lives each year.Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running.They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%.And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University.The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.The sooner you get started，the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body.So，go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

1．The underlined word “humble” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”．
A．plain B．relaxing
C．popular D．active
A [词义猜测题。根据第一段可知，当提到保持健康的方式时首先可以想到普拉提、瑜伽和跑步机。然而，有一种不太引人注目的简单运动却让人受益匪浅，那就是步行。由此可推知，画线词和“plain”意义相近。故A项正确。]

A．It's loved by people of all ages.
B．It's much healthier than running.
C．It's a money-saving physical exercise.

A．Walking helps people with sleep problems.
B．Walking contributes to curing heart disease.
C．Walking 150 minutes per week can save lives.

Ⅱ.完形填空
It was a cold winter morning.Half asleep at the train station，I stared into the distance， 1 for the train to take me to my 2 in Boston.The world was quiet.The very few people on the street kept to themselves， 3 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the 4 was getting close，my hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare.The pocket was 5 ！I searched through my bag and then I felt 6 .Unless the money dropped from the sky，I'd be 7 here.
“What's the matter？” A short，elderly man stood before me.
“Oh，nothing....Well，I 8 my money and now I can't pay for the ticket.I'm going to 9 my maths class，and the train is leaving.”
“Here，use this.”
The man held a $20 bill.I looked up， 10 .People just didn't do that anymore.Everyone worried about their own 11 ，rarely stopping to think about others，especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you，but no，I can't.”
“ 12 it－go！” The man pushed me 13 the train.I bought a round-trip ticket，and he refused the change I 14 to give him back.I did not know what to say－a million thoughts raced through my mind，yet I stood 15 .
On the train ride I was wordless.I began to see the world through 16 eyes.That man made a difference with such a simple 17 .
A week later I was at the train station again，with an extra $20 18 I saw the man.And there he was.
“Excuse me，sir，I believe I owe you this.” I 19 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse，he said，“Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled，content.
The elderly man is my hero.For many，heroes are famous，but my hero is a 20 stranger who taught me a lesson in life.I will never forget his kindness.
【语篇解读】 文章讲述了作者在火车站准备乘火车时，却发现身无分文，无法买票了。一位老人看出了他的麻烦，递给他二十美元，解决了他的燃眉之急。老人的言行感染了作者，他成了作者心目中的英雄。
1．A.watching B．looking
C．reaching D．wishing
A [逻辑推理题。根据语境可知，作者在凝视远方，可知是火车还没有来，所以作者是在等火车，而不是寻找或盼望，更不是伸手去够。watch for等候；look for寻找；reach for伸手去够；wish for期盼。]
2．A.home B．class
C．office D．factory
B [词汇复现题。根据下文的my maths class可知，这里应该选B。即赶去上课。]
3．A.serving B．carrying
C．minding D．making
C [逻辑推理题。根据上文提到的寒冷的早晨和作者在等火车，街上人少等字眼，可判断出有些人等车时可能是在喝咖啡，他们对火车何时来到并不着急，而只是关心他们自己和他们的冒着热气的咖啡。mind表示“在意；关心”。]
4．A.chance B．crowd
C．driver D．train
D [词汇复现题。根据上文的train station可知作者是在等火车，因此选train。]
5．A.deep B．empty
C．messy D．tight
B [逻辑推理题。根据下文内容可知，作者在口袋里怎么也找不到钱，因此这里选empty，即他的口袋空空如也，没有钱了。]
6．A.hopeless B．useless
C．relieved D．dissatisfied
A [逻辑推理题。根据下文“除非钱从天上掉下来”可知，我发现自己身上没钱了，但是我还要去上课，而且火车也快到站了，由此可知我当时感到很无望(hopeless)。]
7．A.blocked B．drawn
C．stuck D．tied
C [逻辑推理题。根据上文可知作者身上没钱买火车票，所以作者感到无望，他觉得要是天上不掉钱下来的话，他可能会被困在车站了。be stuck被卡住，被困住。block堵塞；draw吸引；tie系。]
8．A.wasted B．counted
C．spent D．lost
D [背景常识题。根据上文描述，作者发现自己口袋里的钱没了，所以作者对老人说自己的钱丢了。]
9．A.miss B．skip
C．fail D．stop
A [习语搭配题。根据上下文可知，作者的钱丢了，没钱买火车票了，而火车又快开了。作者感到自己是要错过自己的数学课了。miss class错过课。skip跳过；fail失败；stop停止。]
10．A.frightened B．disturbed
C．surprised D．concerned
C [词语辨析题。根据上文，可知一位老人要给作者二十美元，所以作者抬头看时，感到很惊讶。frightened害怕的；disturbed打扰的；concerned关心的。]
11．A.problems B．complaints
C．positions D．challenges
A [逻辑推理题。当老人帮助我时，我想到的是，没有什么人还会像老人这样做，人们都只会想着自己的问题，很少为别人考虑，尤其是对(像我这样的)陌生少年。因此A项正确。complaint抱怨；position位置，职位；challenge挑战。]
12．A.Bring B．Get
C．Catch D．Take
D [词语辨析题。老人给作者二十美元，让作者拿着。take it拿去吧；bring带来；get得到；catch抓住(多指抓住移动的物体，特别是球类)。]
13．A.in B．beyond
C．toward D．on
C [逻辑推理题。老人给了作者钱，当然是想让作者赶快去买票，所以是把作者推向火车的方向，而不是推上火车。]
14．A.offered B．managed
C．happened D．attempted
D [逻辑推理题。作者买了票后，自然是想把零钱还给老人。offer to主动提供；manage to成功做到；happen to碰巧；attempt to试图……。]
15．A.nervously B．silently
C．seriously D．uncomfortably
B [逻辑推理题。根据前面的a million thoughts raced through my mind和yet可知B项正确，即我有很多(感激的)话想对老人说，但是却站在那里什么也没有说(silently)。nervously紧张地；silently默默地；seriously严肃地；uncomfortably不舒服地。]
16．A.curious B．changed
C．bright D．widened
B [逻辑推理题。我以一种改变的(changed)眼光看世界。上文提到过：现在的人好像只关注自己，而不关注其他人。而在老人给我帮助之后，我改变了这个看法。所以B项符合语境。]
17．A.task B．act
C．example D．performance
B [前后照应题。老人通过自己简单的行动(act)改变了我。]
18．A.so that B．even if
C．now that D．in case
D [词语辨析题。一周后我又到了火车站，身上多带了二十美元，如果见到那位老人，就将钱还给他。由此可知D项符合语境。so that以便；even if即使；now that既然；in case假使。]
19．A.dropped B．pushed
C．pressed D．threw
C [逻辑推理题。作者为了感激老人对他的帮助，特意多带了二十美元。还钱时，老人很可能不会接受，所以作者将钱塞到老人的手里。press意思是“将某物按入、塞入”。]
20．A.giving B．encouraging
C．promising D．respecting
A [前后照应题。根据前文可知老人是一位给予别人帮助的陌生人。giving在这里的意思是“给予”。]

A
There have certainly been records that have been hugely popular and some of those have had a message.Can there be many songs that really did change the world? Did they really change the hearts and minds of ordinary people?
There is one，Goettingen，which did，but it's hardly known now.
Even though France and Germany are neighbors，there was bad feeling between them 50 years ago as a result of World War Ⅱ.Into this area of hatred and anger stepped a singer with a gentle voice.
Barbara was her stage name.She took it from her Russian grandmother.She was born in Paris in 1930.She was Jewish and so a target (目标)for the Nazis.But，twenty years after the end of the Second World War，she travelled to the German city Goettingen.She fell in love with the city and its people and recorded the song Goettingen，first in French and then in German.
It moved her German audience at the theatre.The song became a hit.A street was named after her.The city gave its Medal of Honor to her.The song's popularity made an important contribution to repairing France-Germany relations.
One of the people in the audience was a student by the name of Gerhard Schroeder.He later became Chancellor of Germany.He said: “I was a college student when she came to sing.It went to our hearts，the start of a wonderful friendship between our countries.”
Listening to the song today，it's easy to understand its attraction then.It is still a beautiful song of love，although it is a bit sad in parts.Barbara had much to be sad about.She was extremely frightened by the war.
In Germany，she was loved for the love she had given to the people.In France，she was a star.Streets were named after her there，too.A stamp had her face on it.When she died in 1997,250 thousand people went to the funeral (葬礼)．
Lionel Jospin，who served as Prime Minister of France from 1997 to 2002，once said: “Barbara was a woman who knew suffering and understood the suffering of others.”

People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times.You have made friends since childhood，but you still don't know who your true friends are.Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive.A true friend always tells you the truth.It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship.It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice.It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you.Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble.You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can't always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful (尊敬的)
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend.A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的)and understanding even if it isn't his/her fault.We are all different people and we all make mistakes.A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn't want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.
