第一节（共4小题；每小题4分，满分16分）
The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee — an annual spelling contest — now allows kids who lost in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a “spelling career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions (爱好) that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon, which seems to be getting worse and more intense (激烈的).
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure.
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There’re winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone’s a winner”.
1．What does the author worry about
A．Youth competition lacks diversity.
B．Youth competition is expensive.
C．Youth competition lacks fairness.
D．Youth competition is fierce.
2．What should we do in the battle for life according to the author
A．Know our competitors well.
B．Get rid of the bad things inside us.
C．Learn from others’ successes and failures.
D．Leave everything to chance.
3．How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives
A．No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
B．One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
C．People follow parallel paths to each other.
D．People take turns to lead the race.
4．Which could be the best title for the passage
A．Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
B．Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves
C．Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
D．Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了埃及金字塔的修建背景、过程和影响。
30.考查非谓语动词。句意：大金字塔是大约5000年前为一个叫胡夫的国王建造的。分析句子结构可知，此处用非谓语形式作后置定语，因call与king之间为被动关系，故填called。31.考查副词。句意：事实上，所有沿着尼罗河的金字塔都在它的西岸。此处用副词作状语，actually 意为“事实上”，故填Actually。
32.考查名词。句意：古埃及人认为日出是生命的开始，日落是生命的结束。根据其前冠词the和其后的定语of the sun可知，此处需要名词，the setting of the sun指“日落”，故填setting。
33.考查时态语态。句意：这就是他们的尸体被埋在尼罗河西岸的原因。根据上下文语境可知，此处应用过去时态，又因their bodies和动词bury之间为被动关系，故填were buried。
34.考查固定句型。句意：很难想象大金字塔有多大。本句构成It is + 形容词 + 不定式结构，其中It为形式主语，不定式做真正主语，故填It。
35.考查定语从句。句意：它有超过230万块石头，大部分重达2.5吨。分析句子结构可知，主句中stones为先行词，指物，在其后的从句中作most of的宾语，用which。most of which在定语从句中作主语，故填which。
36.考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知，此处用and连接数个谓语动词cut，moved和lifted，表顺承关系，故填and。
37.考查介词。句意：几乎所有的石头都是从尼罗河东岸运来的，都是用船运过河的。come from …为固定搭配，意为“来自于”，故填from。
38.考查固定句型。句意：建造大金字塔花了十多万人二十年的时间。本句考查It takes/ took (sb.) some time to do sth. 意为“做某事花费（某人）时间”，后跟不定式，故填to build。
39.考查名词的数。句意：金字塔的每一侧面都有755英尺长。由于该名词由each of修饰，故应用复数形式，故填sides。
40.【答案】
Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm writing to tell you something about our discussion on the topic “Whether Middle School Students Can Carry Mobile phones (Cell-phones)” at the class meeting.
Forty percent students agreed, for they thought it was convenient for them to communicate with their relatives and friends. They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for some information and store some useful information in the mobile phones. Besides, they could play games for rest if they feel tired after a long time’s study.
However, sixty percent of us were against it. They said the radiation of cell-phones was harmful to health, and they did somewhat affect the cell-phone holders’ study and make them distracted. Also, cell-phones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy to lead them to compare with each other.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the majority. It is not suitable for middle school students to have cell-phones. We can get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books to enrich ourselves.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
