三、阅读理解(共12小题；每小题3分，满分36分)
A
My brother in law opened the drawer of my sister’s cupboard and took out a package. He said，“This is a new silk slip (衬裙). Jane bought it in New York nine years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. I guess this is the occasion.”
It was an exquisite (精美的) handmade silk slip. The price tag on it was still attached.
He took the slip from me and put it on the bed，with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician (殡仪员). His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment，and then he shut the drawer and turned to me，“Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
His words have changed my mind. I’m spending more time with my family and less time on meetings. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them. I’m not saving anything. I wear my good skirt to the market if I feel like it. I can pay $28.49 for a small bag of groceries. I’m not saving my good perfume for special parties. If something is worth seeing，hearing or doing，I want to see，hear and do it now. “Someday”_has_disappeared_in_my_vocabulary.
I’m not sure what Jane would have done if she had known she’d not be here for the tomorrow. I’m guessing Jane would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have apologized to her former friends for their past quarrels. She’d have gone out for a Chinese dinner，her favorite food.
I’m trying hard not to put off，hold back，or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. Every morning I open my eyes，I tell myself that every day，every minute，every breath is a gift.
31. Why didn’t Jane wear the new silk slip
A. She meant to wear it on her death. B. She wanted to save it for her sister.
C. She thought it was too dear. D. She saved it for a special occasion.
32. After Jane’s death，the author begins to ________.
A. treasure the simple pleasure of life B. spend more time having meetings
C. save more money for necessities D. care about her special parties
33. What does the underlined sentence “‘Someday’ has disappeared in my vocabulary.”(in paragraph 4) mean
A. I prefer to leave out the word “someday” in my speech.
B. “Someday” is found missing from my old dictionary.
C. I will not delay enjoying the pleasure of life.
D. I decide not to enjoy something good at the moment.
34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. it makes sense to follow our dream
B. we tend to leave good things until the last minute
C. we should take pleasure in our work
D. it is meaningless to save something for the future
B
Parsley (欧芹) is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But at other times，its job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley，valued for its looks，then is thrown away. Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people，but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flat leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third kind of parsley？Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli，a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb，fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens. If the root is used，then parsley is considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners suggest that to get the best tasting parsley，you should plant new seeds every year. You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when temperatures are below twenty one degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. The seeds need rich soil. Plant the seeds about fifteen to twenty five centimeters apart. Water them regularly during the first month. After that，parsley does not need very much water. You can harvest parsley by cutting most of the plant or leave more of the plant in the ground for a second crop.
35. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. people don’t like parsley’s strong taste at all
B. people don’t attach great importance to parsley’s value
C. parsley has been widely planted in the world
D. only ancient people used parsley as an addition
36. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. The Planting of Parsley. B. To Parsley’s Regret.
C. Parsley. D. The Use of Parsley.
37. It seems ________ to the writer that parsley is valued for its looks.
A. regretful B. unbelievable C. confusing D. doubtful
38. The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.
A. how to use parsley B. whether people like parsley
C. how to plant parsley D. how the author feels about parsley
C
Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds (灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive (好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12 14 years but usually only race for two or three years，and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space，don’t make a lot of noise，and don’t eat a lot for their size.
Normally，greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is，however，a small sized greyhound，which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish brown are the most common. Others include black，white，blue，red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats，low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim (苗条的) they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold，especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.
39. The text is written mainly ________.
A. to tell people how to raise greyhounds 　　B. to let people know more about
greyhounds
C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive 　　D. to describe greyhounds of
different colors
40. It can be inferred that greyhounds ________.
A. love big doghouses 　　B. like staying in bed all day
C. make the best guard dogs 　　D. need some exercise outdoors
41. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets
A. They are big in size. 　　B. They live a very long life.
C. They can run races for some time. 　　D. They are quiet and easy to look after.
42. If you keep a pet greyhound，it is important ________.
A. to keep it slim 　　B. to keep it warm
C. to take special care of its legs 　　D. to take it to animal doctors regularly
四、短文改错(共10处错误，满分10分)
When I was in high school，most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I saw a second hand bicycle，that was only one hundred yuan. I asked my father the money. So he said he could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspapers after the school. My father was pleasing when I showed him the money a month after. He gives me the other fifty. You can imagine what happy I was when I rode to school on my own bicycle.

13. C call a taxi 叫出租车。order，命令，订购（货物等），点（菜）。

15. D happen to be 碰巧是……，表示“我碰巧是那天早晨上班赶路的人之一”。其他三个选项都能和不定式to do/be 搭配，但意思不符。used to be 曾经是，promise to do 许诺做……，deserve to be 值得是，应受……。
16. D 我意外的发现大部分的地铁路线的服务都停了。 practice 实践，练习。routine 常规；惯例；例行公事。process 过程，进程。

18. A operate运行，工作。表示“终于找到一条还在运行的地铁线”。
19. D board the subway意为上地铁。board上（船、车、飞机）。
20. D 有太多人等着上地铁以至于我甚至不能挤上去站台的楼梯。只有platform 和地铁有关。
21. C 句意为：在过了好像一辈子那么久的时间后，火车终于到达了我（要到达）的站点。reach及物动词，到达。pause暂停, park停车，都是不及物动词，不合题意。
22. A 因为下着大雨，所以应是“我”全身湿透了。与虚弱、疾病、受伤都不相关。
23. B 到达后的状态是精疲力竭的、气馁的，因为冒雨赶路的辛苦。ashamed羞愧的，惭愧的，surprised吃惊的，puzzled困惑的，不解的。都不合题意。

30. D refresh使精力恢复; 使精神振作,通过下文的“put a smile back on my face”可知，与上文的“tied and upset”相反。
三、 31. D　考查细节理解。从第一段可知，作者的姐姐一直舍不得穿这件衬裙，要把它留
着在“特殊的时刻”穿。
32. A　考查推理判断。从第四段可知，作者从此改变了自己的生活习惯，学会了享受生
活的每一个快乐，不再把这些东西留到“特殊的时刻”。
33. C　考查猜测句意。语境说作者想买什么就买，想用什么就用，不再考虑留到“特殊
的时刻”，因此，“将来某一天”在作者的词汇中消失了。从语境看，其含义是不再将享受
生活的快乐向后推延。
34. B　考查推理判断。作者的姐姐将一件衬裙珍藏了9年，直到她去世后才穿上，这使
作者改变了原先的习惯，由此判断作者、她的姐姐都是这样的习惯，结合四个选项看，
B项正确，符合文章的主题：把握现在、享受现在，不要总想着把今天该享受的东西留
给将来。
35. B　推理判断题。依据第一段中的“Poor parsley，valued for its looks，then is thrown
away.”推断人们主要把欧芹用于装饰而忽略了其营养价值等。换言之，人们对欧芹的
价值重视不够。
36. C　标题概括题。本文主要讲述欧芹的多种价值以及种植方法，因此C项最全面。
37. A　推理判断题。依据第一段中的“Poor parsley，valued for its looks... and other
nutrients”推断，人们仅仅把欧芹用做装饰后就扔掉，而不知道其营养价值，作者对这些
感到“遗憾，可惜”。
38. C　段落大意题。最后一段主要是围绕欧芹的种植方法展开叙述的，因此C项最佳。
39. B　本题考查归纳主旨大意的能力。由第一段前两句 “Most people think of racing
when they see greyhounds and believe they need lots of exercise. They can
actually be quite lazy！”可知作者意在纠正人们对灰狗的错误认识，再结合下文的内容
可知B项正确。文章并没有详细介绍如何饲养灰狗，所以A项错误；最后两项只是文章
中提到的细节内容，不能概括文章的旨意。
40. D　本题考查根据文章细节信息进行推理判断的能力。由第一段中“They do need
regular exercise…”可以推出D项正确。文章并未提到灰狗有“看护”作用，故C项表述
有误。A、B两项与文章内容不符。
41. D　本题考查理解细节信息的能力。根据第二段第二句 “They don’t need a lot of
space，don’t make a lot of noise，and don’t eat a lot for their size.”可判断此项正确。
42. B　本题考查在理解文章段落的基础上进行推理判断的能力。根据最后一段最后一句的描写可知灰狗对寒冷很敏感，由此可推测它们喜欢“温暖舒服”的环境。其他选项与本段内容不符。

五、One possible version：
Good morning，everyone，
The_topic_of_my_speech_today_is_“Thoughts_on_becoming_a_grown up”．
As a child，I always hoped that I could grow up as soon as possible so that I could have whatever I wanted and do whatever I liked. Now I’m a grown up，but I find things do not go as I expected. Although I can enjoy more freedom，at the same time I realize that being a grown up not only means this，but also more responsibilities. I hope to do more for my parents and society in the future to make my life more meaningful. To reach the goal，I must first try my best to pass the college entrance examination and enter a good university.
Thank you for your listening.
