Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same old woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟)，unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully cleaning it with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
“Hello,” I said. “If you don’t mind, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied.
“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time.”
She went on “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference. ”
“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference ”
The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻) from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world. ”
4. What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2
A. Four turtles in the cage.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，属于日常生活类话题，讲述了作者在晨练的时候总会遇到一个老太太在湖边擦洗乌龟的故事，告诉我们如若每个人从身边的小事做起也能使这个世界大不同的道理。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟)，unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully cleaning it with a brush, which made me feel surprised.（当我走近时，我意识到有三只乌龟，没有受伤，在金属笼子的底部慢慢地走着。 第四只乌龟趴在她的膝盖上，她正在用刷子仔细地清洗它，这让我感到很惊讶）”，由此可知，作者对“一个老太太正在清洗海龟的壳”感到惊讶。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. （龟壳上的任何东西都会削弱乌龟吸收热量的能力，并阻碍它游泳）”和 “weaken the shell over time.（随着时间的推移削弱外壳）”，由此推知，划线词的意思是也会“伤害”乌龟。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“don’t you think your time could be better spent It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference （你不觉得你的时间可以用在更好的事情上吗 这是浪费时间。 99%的乌龟都没有像你这样善良的人来帮它们清理龟壳。 那么，你在这里的努力到底有多大作用呢 ）”由此可知，作者之所以怀疑这个女人的努力，是因为他认为这个老太太的努力毫无意义。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻) from its shell, and said, ‘Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.’（这个老太太笑了，然后低下头看着膝盖上的乌龟，擦去龟壳上的最后一片海藻，说道:“亲爱的，如果这只乌龟会说话，它一定会告诉你，我刚刚改变了世界。” ）”，由此可知，老太太在湖边擦洗乌龟的故事，告诉我们如若每个人从身边的小事做起也能使这个世界大不同的道理。这位老太太在用自己的善良做善事。所以最佳题目是“善良的力量”。故选B。
C
Whenever a new person walks through the gates of the Science of Spirituality Meditation (冥想) and Ecology Centre in Richmond, one often hears the words, “I never knew such a place existed. It’s so peaceful and the gardens are so beautiful.”
In 2005, this centre was an old school, with a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope, wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.
Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.
And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by volunteers. Brothers and sisters worked together. Over the following years, beautiful gardens were established and every inch of the old building and roof took on a new look.
From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. The Centre has become a sign of light and love in a materialistic society, where seekers find peace, joy, help in meditation, friendship and an opportunity to grow spiritually.
8. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. The founders intended to give up the center at the beginning.
B. The founders had sufficient funds to carry out the project.
C. The centre was not originally suited for meditation.
D. The centre was a school with good environment.
9. How was the centre founded
A. With the help of the old school.
B. With the contributions of generous people.
C. With the funds donated by a spiritual expert.
D. With the local government’s financial support.
10. Which word can best describe the members
A. Rude. B. Distant. C. Conventional. D. Selfless.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce an old school to readers.
B. To tell the story about the construction of the centre.
C. To call for people to meditate.
D. To explain the influence of meditation on average people.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了里士满灵性冥想与生态科学中心成功建设的故事。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! (兔子毁坏了地基，老鼠在凌乱的走廊上跑来跑去。Steveston高速公路上的车流简直不利于冥想，也不利于呼吸新鲜空气！)”可以推知，这个中心最初不适合冥想。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre. (会员们的慷慨捐赠和努力适时而至。因此，我们可以开始SOS冥想和生态中心的自然起源)”可知，在慷慨的人们的捐资帮助下，这个中心开始成立。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. (会员们的慷慨捐赠和努力适时而至)”可以推知，这些会员是无私的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. (从一厢情愿的梦想和一小撮爱，这个特殊的地方，和它的绿色花园，变成了现实)”等内容可以推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了讲述这个中心成功建设的故事。故选B项。
D
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 into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”
12. 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
13. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Decreased. B. Change. C. Appeared. D. Continued.
14. 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
15. 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.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了从小成长艰难的Rehan Staton通过努力和他人的支持被哈佛法学院录取的事迹。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.(他说他成长的过程很艰难，在学校里也很挣扎。一位老师甚至建议他转到特殊教育班)”可知，Staton过去学习成绩很差。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports”可知推知，在一次受伤后，Staton的大学选择减少了，这毁了他成为职业运动员的机会。故画线词意思是“减少”。A. Decreased.减少；B. Change.改变；C. Appeared.出现；D. Continued.继续。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““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.(“我的大多数同事以前都曾入狱。所以，社会底层的人们对我的鼓励让我很惊讶，他们真的希望我有所作为，”他告诉记者)”可知，作为一名垃圾清理工时，来自同事的强烈鼓励让Staton感到惊讶。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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 into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”(通过坚持，他参加了法学院入学考试，申请了九所学校——被五所学校录取。 最终，他决定进入哈佛法学院——他永远不会忘记所有帮助他进入哈佛的人。“在这段时间里，人们问我，‘你是怎么做到的？ ’重要的是，当每个人都在竭尽全力地支持我，敦促我赢的时候，我怎么能不这么做呢？” Staton说。“当你有一个支持系统时，你会想给他们最好的机会。因为在你为自己投资的同时，别人也在为你投资。”)”可推知，成功来自汗水和支持。故选B。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。
Feeling unconfident is something many guys struggle with. It even makes people unwilling to get involved socially for fear of becoming embarrassed. ____16____. If you take steps to build your confidence, you can be the life of the party.
●Dress to impress
It is important that you feel good about your clothing and style to present yourself in the best. ____17____. There is no one style that says “I'm confident”, but if you believe that you wear it well, you will!

【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何培养自信的几点建议。
【16题详解】
空格处前一句话 “It even makes people unwilling to get involved socially for fear of becoming embarrassed.”（它甚至让人由于害怕尴尬而不愿意去社交），后一句话“If you take steps to build your confidence, you can be the life of the party.”（如果你能采取措施建立你的自信心,你就能够成为社交场合中的活跃人物。），这两句话分别讲的是不自信和建立自信，因此其中间需要一个转折来组织逻辑关系,那么只有C选项“However, it doesn't mean you are bound to be like that”（然而，这并不意味着你在社交中一定会那样），符合上下文句意。故本题答案为C。
【17题详解】
本段的小标题是 Dress to impress(穿衣打扮给人留下深刻印象)”，因此本段主要围绕的是穿着方面，只有G选项符合这一点。其中wear是关键词，同时，空格处后一句话“There is no one style that says “I'm confident”, but if you believe that you wear it well, you will!”（没有哪一种固定的让人自信的款式，但如果你相信自己穿得很棒,那么你会自信），而G选项 “It doesn't matter what you wear as long as it feels good to you”（无所谓你穿着什么，只要你自己感觉不错就可以了），这两句话之间的意思是贯通的，因此G选项正确。故本题答案为G。
【18题详解】
本题需要选出本段的小标题。根据本段第一句话“Being able to discuss topic in detail will give you the confidence to begin the conversation with many different people.”(能够谈论话题的细节部分将给你以自信来开始与不同的人交谈。)可知，本段主要讲的是与人交谈，要足够了解谈论的话题，因此B选项 “Educate yourself on topics you're interested in”（在你感兴趣的话题上充实自己）符合上下文句意。故本题答案为B。
【19题详解】
本段的小标题是Make eye contact when speaking to someone(在和别人讲话的时候要有眼神交流)”。同时,根据本段第一句"Communication is about so much more than words.(交流比言语重要得多。)”，因此，本段主要讲的是在交谈时,除了谈话之外,眼神交流等肢体动作也是十分重要的。通过观察选项只有E选项“Sometimes what we say is less important than how we say it”（有时候我们说话的方式比说话的内容更加重要。）符合本段主旨。故本题答案为E。
【20题详解】
本段的小标题是“Practice talking in the mirror(练习对着镜子讲话)”，那么本段主要讲的是对着镜子练习，观察自己的表情并想象在某个特定的谈话中对方会给出的回答等等。而D选项 “Just a simple smile at yourself each day can do wonders”（仅仅是每天给自己一个简单的微笑就能创造奇迹）,即就是每天对着镜子给自己一个微笑也能够带来一定的自信并创造出奇迹，因此D选项符合本段主旨大意。故本题答案为D。

I used to play computer games a lot. As a result, it affects my study and did harmful to my health. And honest speaking, I lost heart and became weak, about what my parents were worried. I looked up to my PE teacher so much that I turned to her. He suggested I take part some sports activities, and I decided to taking his advice. I have kept playing the basketball for 45 minutes or so every day till today. Now my health has been greatly improved. In addition, I’ve made progresses in my lessons. Doing sports has changed me into a confidence and powerful person!
【答案】1. affects→affected
2. harmful→harm
3. honest→honestly
4. what→which
5. her→him
6. 在part后加in
7. taking→take
8. 去掉basketball前面的the
9. progresses→progress
10. confidence→confident
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为沉迷电脑游戏损害了健康，在老师的帮助下，通过运动，让自己重新获得自信和力量。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：结果，它影响了我的学习，损害了我的健康。根据句意和句中“did”可知，句子陈述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式，“affect”意为“影响”，动词词性，过去式为“affected”。故将affects改为affected。
2.考查固定短语。句意：结果，它影响了我的学习，损害了我的健康。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“do harm to…”，意为“损害……”，“harm”意为“损害”，名词词性，“harmful”意为“有害的”，形容词词性。故将harmful改为harm。
3.考查副词。句意：老实说，我失去了信心，变得虚弱，这让我的父母很担心。分析句子可知，“speaking”为动词，前面应用副词修饰，“honest”意为“诚实的”，形容词词性，对应的副词为“honestly”，意为“诚实地”，“honestly speaking”意为“老实说，说实话”。故将honest改为honestly。
4.考查定语从句。句意：老实说，我失去了信心，变得虚弱，这让我的父母很担心。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“我失去了信心，变得虚弱”这件事，在从句中作“about”的宾语，故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故将what改为which。
5.考查代词。句意：我非常尊敬我的体育老师，所以我求助于他。根据下文“He suggested I”中的“He”可知，我的体育老师应该是男性，“turned to”后接代词宾格，“her”意为“她”，不符合语境，“him”意为“他”，为代词宾格，符合语境。故将her改为him。
6.考查固定短语。句意：他建议我参加一些体育活动，我决定接受他的建议。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“take part in…”，意为“参加……”，故应在part后加in。故在part后加in。
7.考查固定短语。句意：他建议我参加一些体育活动，我决定接受他的建议。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“decide to do sth.”，意为“决定做某事”，不定式符号“to”后接动词原形，“taking”的原形是“take”。故将taking改为take。
8.考查固定短语。句意：直到今天，我每天都打45分钟左右的篮球。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“playing basketball”，意为“打篮球”，句中定冠词“the”多余。故将the 删除。
9.考查固定短语。句意：此外，我在功课上也取得了进步。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“make progress”，意为“取得进步”，“progress”为不可数名词，无复数形式。故将progresses改为progress。
10.考查形容词。句意：运动使我变成了一个自信而有力量的人！分析句子可知，“person”为名词，前面应用形容词修饰，“confidence”意为“自信”，名词词性，对应的形容词为“confident”，意为“自信的”，在句中作定语。故将confidence改为confident。

Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same old woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟)，unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully cleaning it with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
“Hello,” I said. “If you don’t mind, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied.
“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time.”
She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference. ”
“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference ”
The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻) from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world. ”
4. What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2

Whenever a new person walks through the gates of the Science of Spirituality Meditation (冥想) and Ecology Centre in Richmond, one often hears the words, “I never knew such a place existed. It’s so peaceful and the gardens are so beautiful.”
In 2005, this centre was an old school, with a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope, wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.
Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.
And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by volunteers. Brothers and sisters worked together. Over the following years, beautiful gardens were established and every inch of the old building and roof took on a new look.
From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. The Centre has become a sign of light and love in a materialistic society, where seekers find peace, joy, help in meditation, friendship and an opportunity to grow spiritually.
8. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. The founders intended to give up the center at the beginning.
B. The founders had sufficient funds to carry out the project.
C. The centre was not originally suited for meditation.
D. The centre was a school with good environment.
9. How was the centre founded
A. With the help of the old school.
B. With the contributions of generous people.
C. With the funds donated by a spiritual expert.
D. With the local government’s financial support.
10 Which word can best describe the members
A. Rude. B. Distant. C. Conventional. D. Selfless.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce an old school to readers.
B. To tell the story about the construction of the centre.
C. To call for people to meditate.
D. To explain the influence of meditation on average people.

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 into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”
