7. C 当我们有了孩子之后，我们震惊(shocked)地得知两个儿子都患有自闭症，余生都需要被照顾(taken care of)。exhausted“筋疲力尽的”； annoyed“恼怒的”；embarrassed“为难的，尴尬的”。
8. D 参见上题解析。
9. D 我不知道为什么这事会发生在我们身上。have no idea为固定搭配，意为“不知道”。
10. B 根据文章可知，以前我是一个自负的人，但随着时间的推移，我不再自负。故可知我开始改变(change)了。
11. B 不是成功，而是在爱的瞬间里我找到了快乐(joy)。

14. C 根据前文说孩子们教会我许多自己无法独自学会的东西，可推断出通过写作我开始分享我学到的经验教训(lessons)。
15. C 我终于意识到我在这个世界上的意义(purpose)与名声和成功无关。purpose“重要意义；有价值的意义”
16. D 我在这个世界上的意义与名声和成功无关，而是与允许爱与光进入我的生活及与人分享(share)有关。前后两句是转折关系，故选Instead。
17. A 参见上题解析。share sth. with sb.为固定搭配，意为“与某人分享某事”。
18. B 根据前一句You may not be happy 100% of the time. 可知，世界上没人(nobody)能一直快乐。

五：语法填空
由于一些游客不遵守公园的制度,擅自接近动物,因而造成了动物伤人的事件。
1.growing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,grow和problem有逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式作定语。
2.are breaking 考查时态。根据前面的“more and more visitors”可知,break所表示的动作正在进行,所以用现在进行时。
3.national 考查形容词。所填的词修饰名词parks,所以用形容词形式。
4.marked 考查非谓语动词。动词mark和paths有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作定语。
5.with 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示游客和野生动物拍照,所以填介词with,意为“和……一起”。
6.the 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的动物们,所以用定冠词修饰。
7.that 考查名词性从句。分析句子成分可知,所填的词引导同位语从句,在句中不作句子成分,所以填that。
8.worries 考查时态。主语是单数第三人称,时态是一般现在时,所以动词要用worries。
9.to protect 考查非谓语动词。所填的词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式。
10.earlier 考查比较级。根据句意可知,此处暗含了比较,所以用earlier。

Aruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world. You’re probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you’re in Aruba.
Clothes
The main reason why you’re heading there is to relax on the country’s fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you’ll be likely wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool area, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or a cover as well as shorts to wear.
It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner—regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments.
What else to bring
The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include sun cream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.
What NOT to bring
While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. There is no need to bring water, so simply bring along an empty bottle.
Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said,and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

四：语法填空
1．考查名词。句意：临清贡砖，或称宫砖，通过大运河运往首都，用于建造历史建筑，如紫禁城。分析句子结构the ____1____ (construct) of，此处应该用名词形式，作介词for的宾语，所给词construct是动词，其名词是construction。故填construction。
2．考查定语从句。句意：当地人称这种砖为源自大运河的传说。此处是限定性定语从句，a legend是先行词，指物，在后面的定语从句中作主语，由关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
3．考查动词时态及语态。句意：这个“传说”于2008年6月14日被列为国家文化遗产。这里在描述过去发生的事情，且主语This "legend"和谓语动词list之间是被动关系，所以句子用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was listed。
4．考查形容词。句意：临清地处渭河与京杭大运河的交汇处，交通十分便利。固定搭配：make+宾语+宾语补足语，此处是形容词作宾语补足语，所给词convenience是名词，其形容词是convenient。故填convenient。
5．考查介词。句意：明清时期（1368-1912），临清是一个人口超过一百万的重要城市。固定搭配：with a population of“有……人口”，其中with的意思是“具有，和……在一起”。故填with。
6．考查副词。句意：陵贡砖在明朝时赢得了声誉，当时它们被广泛用于帝王建筑。此处used是动词，由副词修饰，所给词wide是形容词，其副词是widely。故填widely。
7．考查代词。句意：除了交通便利，砖的质量也是让它出名的一个因素。此处用代词it，指代前面的the brick。故填it。
8．考查冠词。句意：岭南的“莲花土”是一种理想的制砖原料。此处泛指“一种理想的原料”，且ideal是以元音音素开头的词，应用不定冠词an。故填an。
9．考查非谓语动词。句意：所以当黄河泛滥时，总会有一层细沙覆盖在当地的土壤上。sandy soil和cover之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，作后置定语。故填covering。
10．考查非谓语动词。句意：用这种土壤制成的砖不容易变形。固定短语：be made of“由……制成”，此处bricks和make之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填made。

Dear President,
I’m writing to give some suggestions to further protect the Tibetan antelope.As is often reported,too many Tibetan antelopes are being hunted and killed illegally for their fur,from which the illegal hunters can make great profits.As a result,the number of the Tibetan antelopes is decreasing rapidly from about 1,000,000 in 1990 to less than 100,000 at present.
Immediate measures must be taken to improve the present situation.Firstly,the importance of protecting the Tibetan antelopes should be promoted.Secondly,would you provide more money for the conservation of the Tibetan antelopes Last but not least,I suggest that some volunteers be sent there to help protect the Tibetan antelopes.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Paragraph 1
It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Dad was summoned – less, it seemed, in expectation of practical help than to make sure he didn’t miss out on the spectacle. I heard him propose calling the fire department. “Stay tuned,” said Mom; she’d mentioned she was going to upload the video to Facebook, but it was only then I realized she’d been filming the whole time. The video cuts before my rescue —Dad got me to push my head farther into the pumpkin so Mom could reach in and undo the rubber band round my ponytail. I emerged with squash-conditioned hair, a sore chin and my nose plugged with pulp.
Paragraph 2
The video was posted the Monday before Halloween. By the end of that day, it had over 1,000 views. People asked Mom to put it on YouTube, and by Wednesday morning we were getting 5:00 am calls from TV breakfast shows and then the international media – the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. When I went on a youth camp, I was recognized by children I’d never met. The pumpkin also became a minor celebrity. Passersby and trick-or-treaters would knock and ask, “Which is Rachel’s pumpkin ” before taking selfies with it.

Adderall is the most popular among the “study drugs” on American campuses. Around 3 per cent of American students have taken “study drugs” at least once, and the higher-ranking the university, the more common it is.
Relatively speaking，prescriptions（处方）come cheap on campus. One Harvard undergraduate had initially turned up to the campus health center with depression. The psychiatrist（精神科医生）gave him a quick questionnaire， decided he had ADHD（多动症）and gave him Adderall， which he now uses almost daily. Another Harvard student, having suffered a sports-related head injury,approached a campus psychiatrist and was prescribed 20 mg of Adderall. Within weeks, he was taking as much as 200 mg a day (ten times the standard dose). He soon dropped out of school. After that, it was drink,hard drugs and yet more Adderall. Having gone through rehab（戒瘾康复), he’s now back at Harvard-five years older than his peers - and determined to get his degree.
One thing you can do after getting a prescription is “sell it to your friends who haven't been so well trained in the theatre to get themselves a diagnosis" , an Ivy League undergraduate explains. “You make some money and have more fun and everyone benefits.” Many students think Adderall helps them focus,sit still and finish their work. Demand is always highest around finals, which is why it's sensible to get orders early.
Psychiatrist Dr.Allen Frances,who helped shape the American Psychiatric Association's definition of ADHD in the 1990s, says that while Adderall can be helpful in certain circumstances,with many patients, the clinically appropriate thing to tell them is "there's not a lot wrong with you,just get on with your life".
1. What can we infer about many campus prescriptions for Adderall
A. They are powerful. B. They are illegal.
C. They are standard. D. They are inappropriate.
2. Why do students buy prescriptions for Adderall from their peers
A. It rids them of mental diseases.
B. It brings them financial benefits.
C. It gets them better prepared for exams.
D. It helps them improve their stage performance.
3. What does Dr.Allen Frances suggest psychiatrists do
A.Evaluate Adderall's harm.
B. Recognize ADHD's symptoms.
C. Avoid over-prescription of Adderall.
D. Expand patients'knowledge of Adderall.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. The magic power of Adderall.
B. The trend of taking a “study drug”.
C.The widespread ignorance of ADHD.
D. The disadvantage of college health care.

Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1 And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
2 If this environment is destroyed—for example,when farmers clear a forest for new fields,or trees are cut down for making money—many animals are unable to survive,and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition,national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted.A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters.They hunt animals to make money. 3
On the other hand,some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere (干涉) with nature.They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all,though,these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 5 As a matter of fact,they protect animals from their greatest enemies,that is,human beings.
A.To begin with,animals are important to humans.
B.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D.These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E.Firstly,national parks protect the animals’ natural environment.
F.They say though the animals may face danger,they enjoy a free life.
G.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
