“I really want to, but I can't because...”
It hurts every time I hear someone say it. I see it for what it is an excuse. Every one of us has hopes, dreams and goals. We talk about how we will achieve them, but when it's time to do them, we use that sentence.
During my teen years, I felt stuck. I wanted to learn so many things and achieve my wildest dreams, yet I couldn't. Living in an underdeveloped country, we suffer from a lack of water, electricity, security (安全) and opportunities. And, we don't have training courses, libraries or clubs, and the internet is slower than a snail crawling (爬行) through peanut butter.
One day, I had had enough. I decided to use the resources (资源) I had to create the future I dreamed of. I set my mind on getting the Japanese Monbusho Scholarship (奖学金). I found articles and books online to become fluent in Japanese. In a few months, I was able to hold a simple conversation in Japanese. I realized that I would need money. I set out to build a hedgehog (刺猬) care website. Every day, after school,I would research hedgehogs and write detailed articles about them. I studied Japanese and wrote about hedgehogs for three years. I'm sure you're expecting a spirit-lifting ending where I travel to Japan and live off my website. That's not how this story ends. The fact is, I didn’t even get the chance to apply for the scholarship. I failed. Unwilling to accept the facts, I started an online university the next year. And the hedgehog website made me a total of $60.
I can tell you that I tried, but it didn’t work out. It did just not the way I expected.
I'm not in Japan, but I know how to speak Japanese and have met many interesting people along the way. My hedgehog website didn’t succeed, but I created a new one that's even better with the experience I gained.
I didn't let my difficulties stand in my way, and I created my own opportunities. Anyone can embrace (欣然接受) the cards they've been dealt (发牌) and create their own way to make them into a winning hand.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“It hurts every time I hear it. I see it for what it is — an excuse. Every one of us has hopes, dreams and goals. We talk about how we will achieve them, but when it’s time to do them, we use that sentence.(每次听到都很痛。我看到了它的本质——一个借口。我们每个人都有希望、梦想和目标。我们谈论我们将如何实现它们,但当该实现它们的时候,我们使用这句话)”及后文讲的自己的经历可知,作者提到划线的句子是表达自己对这句话传达的为各种借口放弃梦想、半途而废的想法的不赞同,故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“And, we don’t have training courses, libraries or clubs, and the Internet is slow.(而且,我们没有培训课程、图书馆或俱乐部,互联网也很慢)”可知,由于缺乏教育资源,作者无法在十几岁时实现自己的梦想,故选D。
【6题详解】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I didn’t let my difficulties stand in my way, and I created my own opportunities.

What is the best soccer club in the world The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has named FC Barcelona the best world club of the decade (2011-2020). The Spanish club also topped the rankings(排名) for this century's first decade (2001-2010).
The ranking is determined by rating (打分) results from each of a club's matches. During the past 10 years, Barcelona won 22 trophies, including two Champions Leagues(欧洲冠军杯) and two UEFA Super Cups(欧洲超级杯), earning a score of 2,877 points. Its rival (对手) Real Madrid earned 2,782 points, while FC Bayern München ended up with 2,594 points.
The club obviously won based on its success. But what is it that truly makes a soccer club great For one thing, the club has its own style, which is also one of the reasons it has been so successful. Instead of relying on physical strength, Barcelona players use more technical skills, especially when it comes to passing. This style works well on the field and is very entertaining(有观赏性的) to watch as well.
This style is used by some of the world's best players. Many clubs have great players, but “Barcelona is able to bring them together in a way that fans love”, said the sports website Bleacher Report. The club once had superstars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar who played together like a “goal-scoring machine”.
Although the club has the spending power to buy big stars, they often prefer to use players from their youth team. These young players are very loyal to Barcelona. Messi is one player who has risen up through the ranks of the Barcelona academy(青训营).
When Barcelona fans cheer on their team at their home stadium, Camp Nou, they often hold signs saying “Més que un club”, which means“More than a club”. This seems to have been proven true during the past decades.
8. What title did FC Barcelona win recently
A. The UEFA Super Cup. B. The Champions League.
C. The biggest rival club from 2001 to 2010 D. The best world club of the past 10 years.
9. What is Paragraph 2 about
A. How many matches the club has won. B. Why the club was ranked as the best.
C. How each match the club won was rated. D. Who the club will compete with.
10. Which is Barcelona' secret to becoming so successful
A. It trains its players to win with physical strength.
B. It spends large sums of money buying star players.
C. It often uses loyal players from its own youth team.
D. It plays most of its matches at its home stadium.
11. What is the story about
A. How to manage a football club. B. Great football clubs around the world.
C. What fans like best about FC Barcelona. D. What makes Barcelona a great football club.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了巴塞罗那足球俱乐部当选了2011-2020年世界最佳足球俱乐部,以及是什么成就了这个伟大的俱乐部。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has named FC Barcelona the best world club of the decade (2011-2020). ”(国际足球历史与统计联合会(IFFHS)将巴塞罗那足球俱乐部评为这十年(2011-2020)最佳世界俱乐部。)可知,巴塞罗那足球俱乐部赢得了过去十年的世界最佳俱乐部称号。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“During the past 10 years, Barcelona won 22 trophies, including two Champions Leagues(欧洲冠军杯) and two UEFA Super Cups(欧洲超级杯), earning a score of 2,877 points. ”(在过去10年中,巴塞罗那赢得了22座奖杯,其中包括两座欧洲冠军杯,还有两座欧洲超级杯,获得2877分。)和第三句“Its rival (对手) Real Madrid earned 2,782 points, while FC Bayern München ended up with 2,594 points.”(它的对手皇家马德里得到2782分,而拜仁慕尼黑得到2594分。)可知本段是对巴塞罗那俱乐部获得世界最佳俱乐部的解释。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Although the club has the spending power to buy big stars, they often prefer to use players from their youth team. These young players are very loyal to Barcelona. Messi is one player who has risen up through the ranks of the Barcelona academy(青训营).”(虽然俱乐部有购买巨星的能力,但他们通常更喜欢使用青年队的球员。这些年轻球员对巴塞罗那非常忠诚。梅西就是一名在巴塞罗那青训营中成长起来的球员。)可推知,巴塞罗那俱乐部的成功并不是靠购买巨星球员,而是通过培养忠诚的青年球员,例如梅西,成为俱乐部的得分主力。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段前两句“ The club obviously won based on its success. But what is it that truly makes a soccer club great ”(这家俱乐部显然是基于它的成功而获胜的。但真正使足球俱乐部伟大的是什么?)可知,后文均是对这一问题的回答,所以本文主要讲述的是:什么使巴塞罗那成为一个伟大的俱乐部。故选D。

Beep! Beep! Barcode (条形码) technology makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white zebra stripes (条纹) on product packaging. This year, this great invention is 50 years old!
On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, IBM engineer George Laurer came up with a code that could be printed on food labels (商标). It became the basis for the Universal Product Code, which was used by many grocery companies starting in 1973, according to The New York Times. Before this, cashiers (收银员) had to ring up prices by hand.
Time has proven it to be a great invention. Today, barcodes are scanned (扫描) over 6 billion times every day and used by 2 million companies worldwide, PR Newswire reported.
What information does a barcode contain Where the product comes from, where it has been, its price, expiration date (过期时间)... you name it. It can also help stores keep track of their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to keep track of books in this way.
“Its creation allowed the first digitization (数字化) in the control of the stock (库存),” José Maria Bonmat from AECOC, a Spanish commercial association, told El Mundo.
The next generation of barcodes, such as QR codes, can hold more information. “They can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic (有机的). This provides consumers with a greater level of trust in the products they buy,” said GS 1, an organization that develops global barcode standards.
12. What do we know about barcodes
A. They were first used in New York.
B. They were invented five decades ago.
C. They were based on the Universal Product Code.
D. They were designed by a cashier in a grocery store.
13. According to José Maria Bonmat, barcodes can ________.
A. make cashiers' work easier to do
B. improve the quality of food packaging
C. help companies better manage their stock
D. tell consumers more about the products they buy
14. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. The importance of barcodes still needs to be proven.
B. QR codes will replace barcodes in the future.
C. GS 1 is developing a new type of barcode.
D QR codes are more consumer friendly.
15. What is the best title of the article
A. What does barcodes tell us B. What can barcodes help customers do
C. How are barcode widely used worldwide D. How is information stored in barcodes
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了条形码的发明和发展,及条形码所包含的信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This year, this great invention is 50 years old!(今年,这项伟大的发明已经有50年的历史了)”可知,条形码是50年前发明的。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段José Maria Bonmat所说:“Its creation allowed the first digitization (数字化) in the control of the stock.(它的创建使库存的控制第一次实现了数字化)”可推知,条形码可以帮助更好地管理库存。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“The next generation of barcodes, such as QR codes, can hold more information.(下一代条形码,如二维码,可以保存更多信息)”可知,QR codes是GS 1准备研发的下一代条形码。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段前两句“What information does a barcode contain Where the product comes from, where it has been, its price, expiration date(过期时间)... you name it.(条码包含什么信息?产品来自哪里,到过哪里,它的价格,过期日期……你称它的名字)”可知,文章主要讲的是条形码可以告诉我们什么信息。故选A。

【17题详解】
根据本段的中心句“Choose a charity or organization(选择一个慈善机构或组织)”及后文“perhaps you have been affected by some of the issues that a charity aims to support, like children who need help.(也许你受到了一些慈善机构旨在帮助的问题的影响,比如需要帮助的儿童)”可知,设空处在讲对于慈善机构的选择。由此可知,A.

【20题详解】
根据前文“You might think that you have no such skills. Don't let your lack of confidence stop you.(你可能觉得自己没有这样的技能。不要让你的不自信阻止自己)”及常识可知,当我们对自己不自信时,可以向朋友或家人寻求帮助,发现自己能做的事情。由此可知,D. Ask your friends and loved ones what they think you have to offer(问你的朋友和所爱的人他们认为你能提供什么)符合语境。故选D。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
During summer vacation, I went on a three-day camping expedition (远足). We had to carry all of our own clothes and food, as well as tents, cooking pots and first aid kits(急救药箱).
On the first day, our instructor taught us how to read maps. It's not too difficult ____41____ (understand) maps, but walking with a 13-kg backpack under the burning sun ____42____(be) not the most ideal situation. Each of us carried two liters of water to drink as well.
On the second day, we had to find our own way to the next campsite. My group set ____43____ at 9 am full of confidence, but soon found ____44____(we) lost on a farm! ____45____ (luck), each group had a tracker (跟踪器) that allowed our instructors to see ____46____ we were. We were quickly found and got back on ____47____ right path. We finally got to camp at 7 pm. Having walked 25 km over 10 hours, my body was aching. The third day was a bit ____48____ (easy). We successfully made ____49____ back to the car park where our coach was waiting.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在暑假期间进行的一次为期三天的野营探险经历。
41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:要理解地图并不难,但在烈日下,带着一个13公斤重的背包行走并不是最理想的情况。结合句意及分析结构可知此处考查“too+adj/adv+to do...太……而不能……”。故填to understand。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:同上。动名词短语作主语,谓语用单数,又因为本文是讲述过去经历,因此应该使用一般过去时。故填was。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:我所在的团队在上午9点时满怀信心地出发,但很快发现我们迷失在一个农场里!结合句意及分析结构可知此处考查“set out/off出发,动身”。故填out##off。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:同上。此处括号内提示词充当动词found的宾语,同时和整句话的主语my group代指对象一致,因此需要用反身代词形式。故填ourselves。
【45题详解】
考查词性转换。句意:幸运的是,每一队都有一个跟踪器,可以让我们的教练看到我们在哪里。此处位于句首来修饰整句话的内容,因此应用副词形式做状语。故填Luckily。
【46题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:同上。此处充当动词see后的宾语从句,结合句意从句中缺少表语,指地点。故填where。
【47题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我们很快就被找到了,然后又回到了正确的路线上。名词path前需要冠词修饰,结合句意特指正确的路线。故填the。
【48题详解】
考查比较级。句意:第三天稍微容易了一些。根据前面的修饰结构a bit可知此处应使用形容词比较级形式。故填easier。
【49题详解】
考查代词。句意:我们成功地回到了长途车等着停车场。分析结构可知made后缺少宾语,再结合句意可知应用到“make it成功做到”结构。故填it。
【50题详解】
考查连词。句意:我从这次探险中学到了很多东西——不仅仅有看地图的技能,还有团队合作和如何应对紧急情况。分析句子结构可知此处应用到并列结构“not just/only...but also...不仅……而且……”。故填but。

【答案】1. progresses→progress
2. giving→given
3. in→on
4. a→the
5. deep→deeply
6. learn→learning
7. 去掉better后的to
8. make后加it
9. was→is
10. him→me
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章内容是Li Hua通知Leslie下周二中文课的相关信息。
【详解】1. 考查不可数名词。句意:很高兴看到你在中文学习上取得了进步。这里progress意为“进步”,是不可数名词,没有复数形式。故将progresses改为progress。
2. 考查被动语态。句意:课程将会于下周二在502教室从下午三点进行到五点。分析句子可知,The lesson作主语时,与动词give之间应该是动宾关系,要用被动语态,一般将来时应用will be given。故将giving改为given。
3. 考查介词。句意:课程将会于下周二在502教室从下午三点进行到五点。在具体某一天的早上、下午或傍晚前要用介词on,不用in。故将in改为on。
4. 考查冠词。句意:在这节课上,你将主要学习唐诗,唐诗反映了中国传统文化,深受中国人喜爱。由句意可知,这里的class指的就是前文中提到的下周二的课程,表特指要用定冠词the。故将a改为the。
5. 考查副词。句意:在这节课上,你将主要学习唐诗,唐诗反映了中国传统文化,深受中国人喜爱。这里deep修饰谓语动词loved,要用副词。故将deep改为deeply。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意:通过学习唐诗,你可以感受到中文之美。learn作介词by的宾语,要用动名词形式。故将learn改为learning。
7. 考查固定短语。句意:你最好在课前做好充分准备,对唐朝历史有简单的了解,这会让你课上轻松一些。短语had better意为“最好”后接动词要用原形。故去掉to。
8. 考查形式宾语。句意:你最好在课前做好充分准备,对唐朝历史有简单的了解,这会让你课上轻松一些。分析句子可知,makes作为使役动词,这里显然是缺少宾语的,应使用形式宾语it构成make it+形容词+for sb. to意为“使得……对于某人来说变得……”。故加在make后it。
9. 考查时态。句意:如果有任何我能帮上的事,请立刻告诉我。这里是针对当下情况的陈述,不应使用一般过去时,而要用一般现在时,anything是不定代词视为第三人称单数,be动词要用is。故将was改为is。
10. 考查代词。句意:如果有任何我能帮上的事,请立刻告诉我。原句中him显然指代不明确,这里是写信人对收信人的叮嘱,要表达“需要帮助就告诉我”,要用“我”的宾格me。故将him改为me。

【答案】范文:
Dear David,
I'm more than glad to hear from you and learn that you're getting along well with your senior school life in England from your last letter. Now I'm writing to tell you about what my senior school life is like.
Basically, I have got used to my new senior school life. As a matter of fact, compared to Junior School, the life and study at senior school is a lot more challenging, especially with the difficulty and depth of the courses are increasing greatly. As a result, I have to learn how to make proper use of time.
When it comes to the interpersonal communication, as you know, I'm outgoing and talkative, making it easier for me to befriend with the schoolmates who have a lot in common with me.
In addition, everyone has hoped to enter an ideal university since he or she stepped into senior high, including me. So it’s normal for us senior students to concentrate our energy on study, but many of us will be under great pressure from growing homework load. Therefore, there are rich extra-curricular activities for us to choose from, such as photography club, dance club, calligraphy club, etc, which enables us to balance our busy/tight schedule and necessary relaxation. Obviously, only in this way, can our efforts pay back.
But meanwhile, I still have some problems in adapting myself to the timetable at high school. For example, at times, try as I may, I get tired and fall asleep in class so that I have missed something important.
I would be grateful if you could offer me some practical tips on how to keep energetic in class.
Looking forward to you early reply.
Yours,
Lihua

“I really want to, but I can't because...”
It hurts every time I hear someone say it. I see it for what it is an excuse. Every one of us has hopes, dreams and goals. We talk about how we will achieve them, but when it's time to do them, we use that sentence.
During my teen years, I felt stuck. I wanted to learn so many things and achieve my wildest dreams, yet I couldn't. Living in an underdeveloped country, we suffer from a lack of water, electricity, security (安全) and opportunities. And, we don't have training courses, libraries or clubs, and the internet is slower than a snail crawling (爬行) through peanut butter.
One day, I had had enough. I decided to use the resources (资源) I had to create the future I dreamed of. I set my mind on getting the Japanese Monbusho Scholarship (奖学金). I found articles and books online to become fluent in Japanese. In a few months, I was able to hold a simple conversation in Japanese. I realized that I would need money. I set out to build a hedgehog (刺猬) care website. Every day, after school,I would research hedgehogs and write detailed articles about them. I studied Japanese and wrote about hedgehogs for three years. I'm sure you're expecting a spirit-lifting ending where I travel to Japan and live off my website. That's not how this story ends. The fact is, I didn’t even get the chance to apply for the scholarship. I failed. Unwilling to accept the facts, I started an online university the next year. And the hedgehog website made me a total of $60.
I can tell you that I tried, but it didn’t work out. It did just not the way I expected.
I'm not in Japan, but I know how to speak Japanese and have met many interesting people along the way. My hedgehog website didn’t succeed, but I created a new one that's even better with the experience I gained.
I didn't let my difficulties stand in my way, and I created my own opportunities. Anyone can embrace (欣然接受) the cards they've been dealt (发牌) and create their own way to make them into a winning hand.

What is the best soccer club in the world The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has named FC Barcelona the best world club of the decade (2011-2020). The Spanish club also topped the rankings(排名) for this century's first decade (2001-2010).
The ranking is determined by rating (打分) results from each of a club's matches. During the past 10 years, Barcelona won 22 trophies, including two Champions Leagues(欧洲冠军杯) and two UEFA Super Cups(欧洲超级杯), earning a score of 2,877 points. Its rival (对手) Real Madrid earned 2,782 points, while FC Bayern München ended up with 2,594 points.
The club obviously won based on its success. But what is it that truly makes a soccer club great For one thing, the club has its own style, which is also one of the reasons it has been so successful. Instead of relying on physical strength, Barcelona players use more technical skills, especially when it comes to passing. This style works well on the field and is very entertaining(有观赏性的) to watch as well.
This style is used by some of the world's best players. Many clubs have great players, but “Barcelona is able to bring them together in a way that fans love”, said the sports website Bleacher Report. The club once had superstars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar who played together like a “goal-scoring machine”.
Although the club has the spending power to buy big stars, they often prefer to use players from their youth team. These young players are very loyal to Barcelona. Messi is one player who has risen up through the ranks of the Barcelona academy(青训营).
When Barcelona fans cheer on their team at their home stadium, Camp Nou, they often hold signs saying “Més que un club”, which means“More than a club”. This seems to have been proven true during the past decades.
8. What title did FC Barcelona win recently
A. The UEFA Super Cup. B. The Champions League.
C. The biggest rival club from 2001 to 2010 D. The best world club of the past 10 years.
9. What is Paragraph 2 about
A. How many matches the club has won. B. Why the club was ranked as the best.
C. How each match the club won was rated. D. Who the club will compete with.
10. Which is Barcelona' secret to becoming so successful
A. It trains its players to win with physical strength.
B. It spends large sums of money buying star players.
C. It often uses loyal players from its own youth team.
D. It plays most of its matches at its home stadium.
11. What is the story about
A. How to manage a football club. B. Great football clubs around the world.
C. What fans like best about FC Barcelona. D. What makes Barcelona a great football club.
D
Beep! Beep! Barcode (条形码) technology makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white zebra stripes (条纹) on product packaging. This year this great invention is 50 years old!
On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, IBM engineer George Laurer came up with a code that could be printed on food labels (商标). It became the basis for the Universal Product Code, which was used by many grocery companies starting in 1973, according to The New York Times. Before this, cashiers (收银员) had to ring up prices by hand.
Time has proven it to be a great invention. Today, barcodes are scanned (扫描) over 6 billion times every day and used by 2 million companies worldwide, PR Newswire reported.
What information does a barcode contain Where the product comes from, where it has been, its price, expiration date (过期时间)... you name it. It can also help stores keep track of their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to keep track of books in this way.
“Its creation allowed the first digitization (数字化) in the control of the stock (库存),” José Maria Bonmat from AECOC, a Spanish commercial association, told El Mundo.
The next generation of barcodes, such as QR codes, can hold more information. “They can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic (有机的). This provides consumers with a greater level of trust in the products they buy,” said GS 1, an organization that develops global barcode standards.
12 What do we know about barcodes
A. They were first used in New York.
B. They were invented five decades ago.
C. They were based on the Universal Product Code.
D. They were designed by a cashier in a grocery store.
13. According to José Maria Bonmat, barcodes can ________.
A. make cashiers' work easier to do
B. improve the quality of food packaging
C. help companies better manage their stock
D. tell consumers more about the products they buy
14. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. The importance of barcodes still needs to be proven.
B. QR codes will replace barcodes in the future.
C. GS 1 is developing a new type of barcode.
D. QR codes are more consumer friendly.
15. What is the best title of the article
A. What does barcodes tell us B. What can barcodes help customers do
C. How are barcode widely used worldwide D. How is information stored in barcodes
