The Sport I Like Best
When it comes to sports, I like basketball best. It is a ball game between two teams, each consisting of five players. It requires speed, strength, talent as well as skills.
Basketball has been an important part in my life ever since I was introduced to it at the age of 9. For one thing, it helps build up my body, enabling me to be energetic and dynamic all the time. For another, it has taught me to value teamwork over individual performance.
Basketball fills my days with wonders and challenges.
第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
The mother said,“This chocolate is a reward for your imagination -- a window-opening cat!” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed, lowered his head and muttered a thank-you. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand.“This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.”She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolate for any other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident.
Now with some chocolate in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.His palm and forehead sweating, nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment.“I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolate. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.”
阅读部分详解
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述成功的关键是“希望”。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中Dr. Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T. scores or their grade point averages in high school.可知，Dr. Snyder认为他的希望程度能最好地预测新生的学习成绩。故选C。
【29题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically, Dr. Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right.（在寻求一种科学评估希望的方法时，Dr. Snyder超越了通常的信念，即希望只是一种感觉，一切都会好起来。）再根据下句中的it fails to clarify two key components of hope（它没有阐明希望的两个关键组成部分），由此推知“这个想法不够具体”，划线词意思是“清楚的，明显的”。故选A。
【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段Despite the wisdom in the old saying "where there's a will there's a way," Dr. Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.可知，对于“有志者事竟成”这句老话，Dr. Synder认为在现实中并不总是这样，两者之间无必然的联系。故选D。
【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段"Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far,"和下文对希望作用的分析可知，文章主要讲述成功的关键是“希望”。所以B项为最佳主题。
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. D

【33题详解】细节理解题。第二段最后一句“These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.”（这些写有“感谢”的纸条是对那些与他站在一起经历了早期美国生活中经历经济困难和歧视的朋友表达感激之情）故选B。
【34题详解】细节理解题。第三段第二句“David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless.”可知David Jung制作这种饼干是为了鼓舞穷人和无家可归者的精神。故B选项符合题意。
【35题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了幸运饼干的历史，以及幸运饼干在美国和中国两个的发展历程，故D选项最能全面地概括文章内容，故选D。
36-40.CGABE
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了每个人行动背后都有一个目标，但成功人士在他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标，他们为成功而采取行动。
【36题详解】
由上一句“This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite.”（这种
差别乍一看可能很明显，但事实恰恰相反。）和下一句“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.”（每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。）可知，成功人士和那些没有取得任何重大成就的人之间是有区别的，因为每个人行为背后都有目的，目的不同，人们采取行动就会不同，承接上下文，C选项“它在于什么激励人们采取行动。”切题。故选C项。
【37题详解】本文主要讲成功人士的成功在于他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标。由上两句Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don’t, they wouldn’t take action.”（每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。如果他们不这样做，他们就不会采取行动。）和下一句“When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.”（当他们采取行动时，他们会在心底想着这个行动将给他们带来的成功。）可知，每个人行为背后都有目的，但成功人士有着完全不同的目的，会想这个行动给他们带来怎样的成功，承接上下文，G选项“但成功人士的行为背后有着完全不同的目的。”切题。故选G项。
【38题详解】
由下面三句“What’s the purpose behind your actions Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to
survive Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle ”（你行动的目的是什么？你工作是为了茁壮成长还是为了生存？你上班是为了养家糊口还是为了创造一种令人惊叹的生活方式？）可知，作者向读者提出了三个问题，承接下文，A 选项“所以让我问你几个问题。”切题。故选A项。
【39题详解】
由上一句“That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.”（这是一种非常不舒服的状态，因为你总是担心一些无关紧要的事情。）可知，该选项中的This state对应上文中的a very uncomfortable state，不舒服的状态让人担心一些无关紧要的事情，人是没有精力去发挥创造性的，承接上文，B选项“这种状态不允许你有创造性。”切题。故选B项。
【40题详解】
由上面两句“Now there are some people who don’t accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive.”（现在有一些人不接受“生活艰难”的说法，他们的动机完全不同。他们为了成功而工作。）和下一句“They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.”（他们有一个美丽的愿景，他们会不断采取行动，使这一愿景成为现实。）可知，有些人不相信生活是艰难的，他们为成功而工作，并有一个美丽的愿望且不断采取行动来实现这个愿望，说明这些人为了成功不会去想什么事情该不该做，承接上下文，E 选项“他们不去想为什么有些事不能做。”切题。故选E项。

W: Good morning, everyone. Today we’re going to look at the wide differences in family life between the rich and the poor in Victorian times. Let’s begin with the upper classes. In Victorian times, the upper classes made up less than 3% of the population, yet held more than 90% of the country’s wealth. Most of their servants were very poorly paid, but were always living in the homes of upper-class Victorian families, so they didn’t have to pay for housing, food and clothing. The money which they did earn, they sent to their families. Many servants came from the countryside. Among them were cooks, cleaners, gardeners and so on. The family would also employ a child’s nurse whose main role was to care for the children. She was responsible for teaching the children how to behave and taking care of them when they were ill. Nurses did not, however, educate the children. Generally, children from wealthy families didn’t attend school outside the family home. Tutors would come to the house to do this. Now, the Victorian upper classes have the reputation of being quite cruel; but this wasn’t always the case. They were also quite generous. Some schools were set up with money from the upper classes so that poor children could have some form of education. Additionally, most Victorian parents were very proud of their children. This goes against the common idea that parents were very strict with their children. In fact, the opposite was generally the rule. However, the situation for lower class families was very different.

Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School. For him, the sky’s the limit, but it wasn’t always that way.
The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father’s best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton’s study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
But with help from a free tutor, Staton’s grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to.
So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. “Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter. “They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future.”
Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it ’ It’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing（投入）into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”
24. What can we know about Staton from paragraph 2
A. He received special care from his teacher.
B. He used to have poor academic performance.
C. He worked three jobs to help support his family.
D. He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties.
25. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Decreased. B. Changed. C. Appeared. D. Continued.
26. What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector
A. The mixed backgrounds of his coworkers.
B. The misunderstanding about garbage men.
C. The strong encouragement from his coworkers.
D. The misfortune of people at the bottom of society.
27. What can we infer from the text
A. Courage is resistance to fear and pain.
B. Success comes from sweat and support.
C. Achievements are going from failure to failure.
D. Progress takes place outside the comfort zone.
C
"Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far," said Dr. Snyder, a psychologist.
In research with 3,920 college students, Dr. Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T. scores or their grade point averages in high school. "Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them," Dr. Snyder said. "When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements, what sets them apart is hope."
In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically, Dr. Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. "This idea is not concrete enough; it fails to clarify two key components of hope," Dr. Snyder said.
"Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be."
Despite the wisdom in the old saying "where there's a will there's a way," Dr. Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected. In a study of people from 18 to 70 years old, Dr. Snyder discovered: only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals; about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals, but said they had little will to do so; another 20% have the opposite pattern, saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but little confidence that they would find the means; the rest had little hope at all, reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way.
"It's not enough just to have the wish for something," said Dr. Snyder. "You need the means, too. On the other hand, all the skills to solve a problem won't help without the willpower to do it."
28. What does Dr. Snyder think can best predict a freshman's academic performance
A. His S.A.T. scores. B. His high school grades.
C. His level of hope. D. His family background.
29. The underlined word "concrete" in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A. clear B. pure C. universal D. popular
30. What did Dr. Synder say about the old saying "where there's will there's a way"
A. It is quite realistic. B. It is not inspiring to students.
C. It is totally wrong. D. It is not always true in reality.
31. What can be the most suitable title for the passage
A. No pains, no gains. B. Hope emerges as key to success.
C. Will gets it going. D. Where there's a will there's a way.
D
After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.
The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.
There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.
Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day — an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”
So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.
32. What do we know about fortune cookies
A. They are as popular in China as in America.
B. They contain slips of paper with good wishes.
C. They first appeared in America during WWII.
D. They are often charged to the customers’ bill.
33. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco
A. To make profit.
B. To express gratitude.
C. To uplift people’s spirits.
D. To help people out of hardship.
34. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies
A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.
B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.
C. I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.
D. Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A A Symbol of Chinese Culture

Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don’t achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. ___36___
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don’t, they wouldn’t take action.
___37___ When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
___38___ What’s the purpose behind your actions Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to
survive Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don’t quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. ___39___ Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don’t accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an
entirely different purpose.
They work to thrive. ___40___ They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.
A. So let me ask you a few questions.
B. This state does not allow you to be creative.
C. It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D. Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.
E. And they don’t think about why something cannot be done.
F. And this makes you take even more or better quality action.
G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.

It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
1. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
2. 续写的词数应为150词左右。
