解析
本文以学语言为例告诉我们学习应当劳逸结合，循序渐进。而不应该急于求成，半途而废。

1. C。这是总领本文的一句话，就是如何能够学的更好。另外根据and后面的more effective可知这里应选与之并列的比较级better，而不是原级well。
2. C。for a long time 表示很长一段时间，a不能省略。故只能选for long hours。
3. A。help a lot 这里指学习时间长并不会对学习结果有很大的帮助，也就是并不起决定作用。
4. A。对于一个学生来讲，不仅需要足够的睡眠、食物、休息， 还需要足够的身体锻炼。故选exercise。文章的倒数第二句有提示。

9. C。“take sth as an example” 为固定词组，意为“以……为例”。
10. D。stay the same 表示“维持原样”， 也就是没有任何进步了。
11. C。根据第10题， 因为学习停滞不前，所以你就会觉得没学到什么东西。故选nothing。

13. B。take another big jump 表示有大的飞跃或进展。

三、阅读理解（共20小题，40分，每小题2分）

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual (互相的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.
There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery (界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥) from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.
It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range (变化) from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.
Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文, 说明人在成长的过程中总有一些连父母都不能交流的事情, 此时只有和真正的朋友才可以分享, 这样可以解决一些自己不能解决的问题, 也可以考验真正的友谊。
16. What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show
A. Parents are always the best people to share secrets with.
B. Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends.

17. The underlined word “reveals” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______.
A. proves B. tells C. gets D. holds
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据上文的That is when friends become the best secret sharers. 可知青少年喜欢将自己的感情和秘密告诉自己的朋友。因此可推测画线单词的意思是“告诉”。
18. What can be learned about sharing secrets

B. It follows strict rules.
C. It can happen at any age.

My writing career began ten years ago with my articles published locally and nationally.As a beginning writer，I was happy to be on my way，writing and learning as much as I could. With two little kids underfoot，as well as working full time，it was really difficult to make time for writing，but I managed.
Readers told me they laughed，cried or were inspired by my articles.But they didn't know what was really going on behind the typewriter.I was not a happy mommy，and found it difficult to enjoy the everyday little things in life.In short，I was not a happy person.
I realized I had to make some changes.I started walking every morning.It cleared my head，allowed me time to think，gave me fresh air，and made me feel invigorated(精神焕发) and healthy.I was eating wisely，and the weight started to go.I started a new job，joined a monthly writing chapter，and was determined to keep up my walking.Finding the balance was sometimes difficult.But I was determined to fit in writing time because it made me happy.Sure I loved to watch the news and have my tea，but that wasn't what made me truly happy.
My own happiness has shown through my family，my job performance and my attitude towards challenging situations.I again have readers telling me the effect my writing has had on them，with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.
It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness.One step at a time—one word at a time.And I did it.
文章大意：作者是一个作家，作品鼓舞了许多读者。但是作者不是一个快乐的人。作者意识到自己必须做出一些改变，于是开始每天清晨散步，清理自己的大脑，给自己时间思考，呼吸新鲜空气，让自己感觉精神焕发，身心健康，健康饮食并开始控制体重。通过不断地改变作者最终成了一个快乐的人，并影响到了周围的人和读者。通过自己的经历作者感悟到快乐把握在自己手里。
20．What was a big challenge to the author according to the first paragraph？
A．Writing good articles.
B．Doing well at work.
C．Finding time to write.
D．Taking good care of children.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“With two little kids underfoot，as well as working full time，it was really difficult to make time for writing，but I managed.”可知，作者有两个小孩要照顾，还有全职工作，想找到时间写作很难。故选C项正确。
21．Why did the author start walking every morning？
A．To be physically healthy.
B．To enjoy fresh early morning air.
C．To have more energy for writing.
D．To get back to happiness.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In short，I was not a happy person.”以及第三段前两句“I realized I had to make some changes.I started walking every morning.”可知，作者不是一个快乐的人，意识到自己必须做一些改变，作者开始每天早晨散步。因此推断作者开始散步是为了找回快乐。故选D项正确。
22．What can we know about the author from the text？A
A．Her articles had a great effect on readers.
B．She didn't enjoy making changes in her life.
C．She wasn't interested in watching TV news.

23．What do you think is the main idea of the story？
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Well begun is half done.
C．Time and tide wait for no man.
D．Happiness lies in your own hand.
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness.One step at a time—one word at a time.And I did it.”可知，作者通过自己的经历告诉读者快乐把握在自己手里，每次一步，每次一句话就做到了。故选D项正确。
C
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness_means_a_decision_to_bite_off_more_than_you_can_eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，” said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold.”
Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely，there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee(保证)of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。作者联系自己的经历说明了大胆的重要性，并鼓励人们有勇气和胆量。
24．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past？
A．He faced huge risks.
B．He lacked mighty forces.
C．Fear prevented him from trying.
D．Failure blocked his way to success.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all”．可知，作者过去没能达成目标是因为他害怕失败。故选C。
25．What is the implied meaning of the underlined part？
A．Swallow more than you can digest.
B．Act slightly above your abilities.
C．Develop more mysterious powers.
D．Learn to make creative decisions.
解析：推理判断题。根据后句“And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces”．可以推测出这里为“行为略高于你的能力”之意。故选B。
26．What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game？
A．His physical strength. B．His basic skill.
C．His real fear. D．His spiritual force.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段首句“Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.”可知，在于他的精神力量。故选D。
27．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？
A．To encourage people to be courageous.
B．To advise people to build up physical power.
C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.
解析：作者的写作态度和意图题。 作者先举了自己和Tim作为例子，又在文章后两段讲了boldness的重要性，所以作者的写作意图是鼓励人们做勇敢的人。故选A。
D
If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity (长寿). People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors (因素) that could increase their risk. “Residence (居住) in mountainous areas seems to have a ‘protective effect’ from heart disease，” said Dr. Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues guess, that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to deal with lower levels of oxygen.
Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 meters above sea level and the other two were in low lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow up. “The contrast was more evident among men than among women，” Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the world's top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要讲了研究表明，生活在山区的人们患心脏病的概率更低。
28．The people living at higher altitude have lower chance of dying from heart attack may because they ____
A．have good dieting style
B．live more happily
C．often climb mountains
D．know how to keep healthy
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句，可知生活在高海拔地区的人们，死于心脏病的概率较低是因为他们经常爬山。故选C
29．According to the text, people are more likely to die from ____.
A．smoking B．heart disease
C．high blood pressure D．being overweight
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“Heart disease is one of the world's top killers.”可知，人们更可能死于心脏病。答案B
30．What can we infer from the text？A. People often climbing mountains won't be ill.
B．The research of the Greeks lasted about 10 years.
C．Four other illnesses reduce the chance of developing heart disease.
D．A person smoking often has a chance of developing heart disease.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Smoking, high blood pressure，raised cholesterol(胆固醇) levels，being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.”可推断出吸烟的人更容易患上心脏病。答案为D
What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity.
B．Climbing mountains is beneficial to people's health.
C．The relationship between smoking and diseases.
D．Why people should give up smoking.
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章可知本文主要介绍了生活在山区的人们患心脏病的概率更低。寿命会更长。答案为A

Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and other creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat.
The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was con trolled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.
However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightened -mainly because I couldn't see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into he water, I wasn't afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.
I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team were happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will definitely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.
32. What were the researchers trying to learn about in the Flower Gardens (不多于5个单词)
33. What did the writer enjoy most in the project (不多于4个单词)
34. What does the writer want to be in the future （不多于2个单词）

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness_means_a_decision_to_bite_off_more_than_you_can_eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，” said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold.”
Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely，there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee(保证)of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity (长寿). People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors (因素) that could increase their risk. “Residence (居住) in mountainous areas seems to have a ‘protective effect’ from heart disease，” said Dr. Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues guess, that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to deal with lower levels of oxygen.
Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 meters above sea level and the other two were in low lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow up. “The contrast was more evident among men than among women，” Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the world's top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.
28．The people living at higher altitude have lower chance of dying from heart attack may because they ____
A．have good dieting style
B．live more happily
C．often climb mountains
D．know how to keep healthy
29．According to the text, people are more likely to die from ____.
A．smoking B．heart disease
C．high blood pressure D．being overweight
30．What can we infer from the text？
A. People often climbing mountains won't be ill.
B．The research of the Greeks lasted about 10 years.
C．Four other illnesses reduce the chance of developing heart disease.
D．A person smoking often has a chance of developing heart disease.
What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity.
B．Climbing mountains is beneficial to people's health.
C．The relationship between smoking and diseases.
D．Why people should give up smoking.

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答，答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and other creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat.
The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was con trolled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.
However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightened -mainly because I couldn't see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into he water, I wasn't afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.
I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team were happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will definitely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.
32. What were the researchers trying to learn about in the Flower Gardens (不多于5个单词)
