Now in: Dodge City, Kansas
From: Pratt, Kansas
Learning: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish
About me: I love all outdoor activities, especially playing ball games, traveling, and climbing. I play the guitar, and can say that I’m really good at it. I also like playing chess, but I don’t play it well. If you’re good at it, maybe you can teach me. I’m going to college this September. All I really want to do during the summer holiday is travel, teach, and learn languages (this is my hobby), see things, and build great friendships. I’d like people aged 17-20 to get in touch with me, both girls and boys. It’s better if you’re from Beijing or Tokyo. I’ve made 15 friends over the Internet. If you’d like to be one of them, send me an email at blink001@. My MSN is blink001@. I’d love to be your friend!

I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.
I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start， so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.
I will contribute all I can to EHS whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.
24. Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President
A. He is very good at English. B. He has a talent for leadership.
C. He is very willing to help others. D. He thinks he is fit for the position.
25. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2
A. The author and Jordan can cooperate well.
B. The author and Jordan are good friends.
C. Jordan often quarrels with the author.
D. Communication is very important for friends.
26. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Being EHS Vice President. B. Being always together.
C. Communicating with each other. D. Having good ideas.
27. What can we know about EHS
A. It is short for “Honor Society”. B. It is a club related to English.
C. It can improve the students’ results. D. It often organizes some activities.
C
Their beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring, but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃) during their annual migration(迁徙) have remained a mystery. Now, though, scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO) have revealed the details of their remarkable 10,000-mile journey, with the help of tracking devices.
Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks’’ before being released. The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn, and returned in the spring.
The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain. Between 1995 and 2010，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half, and the number is continuing to decline. Previously, the lack of information about the cuckoos’ long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.
Earlier this year, it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal. Their call was recorded by ornithologists(鸟类专家) as early as February, a month ahead of their usual arrival.
Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons. They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on. This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them.
28. What is the main purpose of the project
A. To track cuckoos’ 10,000-mile journey.
B. To better understand the habits of cuckoos.
C. To find out what happens during cuckoos’ journey.
D. To discover why the population of cuckoos is declining.
29. The underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
A. prevented B. deepened C. improved D. affected
30. When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain
A. In January. B. In February. C. In March. D. In April.
31. Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because of________.
A. 1acking food B. changing climate
C. changing routes D. cold spring in the UK
D
You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. '' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. ''
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A ''bias'' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.
32. What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su
A. They were excited. B. They were amazed.
C. They were worried. D. They were interested.
33. Why is Miss Su considered to be ''pretty extraordinary''
A. She is an excellent P. E. teacher.
B. She was finally removed.
C. She really cared about her students.
D. The headmaster was proved to be wrong.
34. The examples are given in the last paragraph to show .
A. tall men are usually excellent B. people are often judged with bias
C. opinions should be based on facts D. women lack leadership skills
35. What's the author's attitude towards the bias
A. Disagreeable. B. Acceptable.
C. Careless. D. Curious.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
67. 阅读下面材料，割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。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone.

It contains collections throughout time, across the globe. You can see Egyptian mummies, ancient Greek statues and even Terracotta Warriors borrowed from Xi’an Museum under one roof. Financed by the UK government, it is free to visit the permanent collection. You’ll need tickets to visit some rooms, though.
As for recommendation, you can visit the great Reading Room, round in shape in the center of the museum. You might also see the Lewis Chessmen. It is a large group of chess pieces carved from whale bone. See the chess set in Room 40. And you can see the huge head of Egyptian pharaoh in Room 4 as well as the Easter Island Statue in Room 24.
If you want to learn more, please go to our website.
Hope you enjoyed this program and see you next time.

I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.
I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start， so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.
I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.
24. Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President
A He is very good at English. B. He has a talent for leadership.
C. He is very willing to help others. D. He thinks he is fit for the position.
25. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2
A. The author and Jordan can cooperate well.
B. The author and Jordan are good friends.
C. Jordan often quarrels with the author.
D. Communication is very important for friends.
26. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Being EHS Vice President. B. Being always together.
C. Communicating with each other. D. Having good ideas.
27. What can we know about EHS
A. It is short for “Honor Society”. B. It is a club related to English.
C. It can improve the students’ results. D. It often organizes some activities.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文，是作者申请EHS副总裁的申请书。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society.（我打算和Jordan Pincus一起竞选EHS副总裁，因为我觉得这是我在这个荣誉协会中最好的职位。）”可知，作者想成为EHS副总裁，因为他认为自己适合这个职位。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together.（我能说英语，也能和别人相处得很好，这对一个董事会成员来说是非常重要的。作为一个团队，乔丹和我合作得很好。） ”及其他的描述可知，作者主要告诉我们作者和乔丹可以很好地合作。故选A。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。that是远指，由前面的“Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together.（对副总裁来说，没有什么比两个人总是在一起更好的了。）”可知，“that”指的是“总是在一起”，即Being always together。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject.（我喜欢EHS，因为英语是我最喜欢的科目。）”和最后一段的“I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole.（我将尽我所能为EHS做出贡献，无论是确保会议顺利进行，还是为整个俱乐部寻找新的项目/活动。）”可推知，EHS是一个英语俱乐部。故选B。

Their beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring, but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃) during their annual migration(迁徙) have remained a mystery. Now, though, scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO) have revealed the details of their remarkable 10,000-mile journey, with the help of tracking devices.
Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks’’ before being released. The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn, and returned in the spring.
The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain. Between 1995 and 2010，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half, and the number is continuing to decline. Previously, the lack of information about the cuckoos’ long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.
Earlier this year, it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal. Their call was recorded by ornithologists(鸟类专家) as early as February, a month ahead of their usual arrival.
Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons. They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on. This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them.
28. What is the main purpose of the project
A. To track cuckoos’ 10,000-mile journey.
B. To better understand the habits of cuckoos.
C. To find out what happens during cuckoos’ journey.
D. To discover why the population of cuckoos is declining.
29. The underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
A. prevented B. deepened C. improved D. affected
30. When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain
A. In January. B. In February. C. In March. D. In April.
31. Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because of________.
A. 1acking food B. changing climate
C. changing routes D. cold spring in the UK
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了由于季节的变化以及食物等因素的影响下杜鹃数量下降的原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain.”（这个项目是为了发现为什么每年返回英国的鸟越来越少）可知，这个项目是为了探索杜鹃鸟数量下降的原因．故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“the lack of information about the cuckoos long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds．”（关于杜鹃鸟长期迁徙的信息的缺乏hampered人们对如何帮助保护这种鸟类的了解）可知，信息缺乏肯定会阻碍人们对这种鸟的了解。故划线词在文章中的含义可以理解为阻碍，故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段“Their call was recorded by ornithologists（鸟类专家） as early as February，a month ahead of their usual arrival．”（鸟类学家早在2月就记录下了它们的叫声，比它们通常到达的时间提前了一个月）可知，平常鸟类飞到英国是三月，而今年在二月份就飞到了英国。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons. They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on.This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them．”（像所有迁徙的动物一样，布谷鸟对季节的变化做出反应。它们依靠茂盛的植物为它们赖以生存的昆虫提供水果和食物。这种对季节模式的依赖意味着，变化的气候可能会让它们不可能完成本来就充满挑战的旅程）可知，杜鹃比平时早到英国是因为气候的变化，故选B。

You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. '' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. ''
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A ''bias'' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.
32. What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su
A. They were excited. B. They were amazed.
C. They were worried. D. They were interested.
33. Why is Miss Su considered to be ''pretty extraordinary''
A. She is an excellent P. E. teacher.
B. She was finally removed.
C. She really cared about her students.
D. The headmaster was proved to be wrong.
34. The examples are given in the last paragraph to show .
A. tall men are usually excellent B. people are often judged with bias
C. opinions should be based on facts D. women lack leadership skills
35. What's the author's attitude towards the bias
A. Disagreeable. B. Acceptable.
C. Careless. D. Curious.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过讲述杭州某中学的家长对体育老师当班主任态度的转变，提出了我们不能“以貌取人”，即不能带着偏见来判断一个人
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. ''可知孩子的父母很担心，并给学校施压，希望用教文化科目的老师代替教体育的老师。C. They were worried. (他们很担心)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. '' (她用对孩子们的关爱赢得了家长的信任，换句话说，体育老师Miss Su是一个卓越的老师)可知因为苏老师对孩子的关爱，家长们认为她是一个卓越的老师。C. She really cared about her students. (她很关爱她的学生)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. (例如，在商业中，高个子的男性更有可能成为老板。在美国，任何一个超过190厘米的人,比起那些比他矮的同事都可以期待更高的工资和更高的升职。同样的，女性升职很难，因为老板认为她们缺乏领导力，也没有做出困难决定的韧性)可推测这些例子主要是为了说明人们常常被带着偏见来判断。B. people are often judged with bias (人们常常被带着偏见来判断)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias. (这些观点都不是基于事实或个人的天赋，他们只是偏见)可推测作者不赞成带着偏见判断一个人。A. Disagreeable.(不同意)符合以上说法，故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了构建良好师生关系的方法途径。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：为了建立良好的师生关系，教师的行为是很重要的。根据空格前有名词所有格a teacher’s（老师的），所以空格处要填名词。故填behavior/behaviour。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一位好的教师应该是耐心的，友好的，但同时也是严格要求的。根据空格前有be动词，所以空格处要填形容词。故填patient。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：另一方面来看，太过严格也许会吓到学生。此处“____3____ (be) too strict”是在句中谓语动词may frighten前作主语，以及根据动名词短语作主语时表示事实、状态等，故填being。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：所以，老师在对待学生的时候，一定要避免走极端。根据空格前动词avoid有动词短语avoid doing sth.，同时根据句意，此处应该是避免走极端。故填going。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：老师应该鼓励学生们独立思考并且独立学习。此处所填词用来修饰空格前面的动词think，副词做状语修饰动词。故填independently。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：老师应该鼓励学生们独立思考并且独立学习。根据空格前介词by有介词短语by oneself（独立地），以及句意“独立思考并且独立学习”，所以此处要用介词短语by themselves修饰动词study，故填themselves。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：学生应该渴望学习并且愿意努力学习。根据空格前动词短语be eager有动词短语be eager to do sth.（渴望做某事），故填to learn。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：上课时认真听讲很重要，同时学会用新的方法提出问题并解决问题也是很重要的。根据空格后new ways（新的方法途径）,可知此处是用介词短语in new ways （用新的方法）来修饰前面的动词work out。故填in。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：最重要的是，老师和学生们都必须集中于应该要做的事，意味着学生必须努力学习，老师们在教课时必须负责任。分析句型可知，此处“____9____ they should do most”位于动词短语focus on后做宾语从句，从句谓语动词should do后没有名词或代词做宾语，因此从句缺少宾语成分，所以用连接代词what引起从句。故填what。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：此外，老师和学生必须尊重彼此，这是建立良好师生关系的必要基础。分析句型可知，此处“____10____ is a necessary basis of setting up a good teacher-student relationship.”在句中做非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，所以用关系代词which替代主句“students and teachers have to respect each other”（师生必须尊重彼此）所指代情况在从句中作主语。故填which。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to know that you have trouble adapting yourself to senior high school. I’m writing to offer some suggestions.
First of all, why not communicate with your teachers frequently By doing this, your teachers will know your inner thoughts and help you solve this problem. What’s more, if I were you, I would be engaged in different kinds of activities held by class actively. More importantly, it would be a good idea if you make some friends with common interests. If you do this, you can share happiness and sadness with them, and they can also help you get rid of loneliness at high school.
I hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
67. 阅读下面材料，割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。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I' m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day.
