In a small village, a little boy lived with his parents. He was the only son. He used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. His friends and neighbours avoided him, and his parents were really worried about him.
His parents advised him many times to control his anger(怒气) and be kind. Unluckily, it didn’t work. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.
One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails(钉子) and asked the boy to hit one nail on the board every time he became angry. The little boy found it interesting and accepted the task.
Every time he got angry, he ran to the board and hit a nail. His anger drove him to hit nails on the board 30 times on the first day! After the next few days, the boy hit fewer nails on the board. The little boy found it very difficult to hit the nails and decided to control his anger. Slowly, the number of nails hit on the board was reduced half.
One day, the boy didn’t hit any nails because he didn’t lose control at all that day. Then, his father told him to take a nail away from the board each time he controlled his anger. A few days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the board. However, there remained a few nails that he could not pull out.
The father asked him, pointing to a hole, “What do you see here ”
The boy replied, “A hole in the board!”
The father told the boy, “The nails were your anger and they were hit on people. You can take the nails away but the holes in the board will remain. The board will never look the same. It has scars(痕迹) all over. Some nails cannot even be pulled out. Your angry words were like that! Use friendly words. Use them to show the love and kindness in your heart!”

“The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smart phone.” It was rewritten from a beautiful poem by Amy Cheung. It shows that smart phone enlarges the distance between people in some degree. We can see many young people use their smart phones everywhere, such as in the underground, on buses, in restaurants and so on. They even use their smart phones when they are walking. They often use their smart phones to watch videos, chat with friends through social media（社交媒体）, or play games when they are free. Smart phones have become an important part of people’s lives and the young people depend on them much more than they realize. They can’t live without smart phones. A person who spends too much time on the smart phone is called a phone addict（成瘾者）. Phone addicts often snub the people around them because they just focus on their smart phones.
Spending too much time on smart phones is bad for young people in many ways. When young people spend too much time on phones, they don’t have enough time to communicate with their friends or parents face to face. It will damage their relationship. What’s more, phone addiction can also do harm to their study and health.
So it is high time to stop phone addiction. You can follow these suggestions. First, communicate with others face to face instead of talking with them through social media. Second, take part in activities which are good for your body and mind when you are free. What’s more, learn to look around and find the beauty of life when you have nothing to do, instead of depending on your phone all the time. Beauty is all around if you open your heart to feel.
31.What do many young people often do when they are free
A. Communicating with their friends and parents face to face.
B. Reading books in the library.
C. Playing with their smart phones.
D. Taking exercise with their friends.
32.Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Spending too much time on phones will not damage the relationship between people.
B. Spending too much time on phones is not bad for young people’s study and health.
C. Many young people seldom talk with their friends through social media.
D. The young people depend on smart phones much more than they realize.
33.The underlined word “snub” in Paragraph 1 means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 关心 B. 冷落 C. 重视 D. 打扰
34.What can we learn from the passage
A. We can see many old people use their smart phones on the underground.
B. We should depend on our phones when we have nothing to do.
C. We should spend more time on smart phones.
D. Communicating with others face to face is important.
35. How many suggestions does the writer give to stop phone addiction

【答案】CDBDB

35.细节题。根据文章最后一段可知作者一共给出 了三条建议，故该题答案为B。
C
Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.___36___Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
36 Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One
A. What can they do about this
B Where do the problems come from
C. When did they have these problems
D. Why do they have so many problems
37. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A. answer a question B. give an example
C. introduce his friend D. share his experience
38.What is the meaning of the underlined word
A.解除 B.避免 C.对待 D.解决
39. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A. Laura’s teacher
B. the writer of the passage
C. a person with a problem
D. an expert on students’ problem
40. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Few children are careful with their money.
B. Parents are more experienced than children
C. Talking to someone helps to solve problems.
D. Students often have a lot of worries at school
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. B 39. D 40. C
【解析】试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述的是学生们的生活中总是会遇到一些问题，这个时候我们该怎么办？文章中以Laura的故事当例子告诉我们，我们应该学会向别人倾诉，这样才有助于解决问题。
36.段落大意题。文章开头说的是学生们总是会有问题或烦恼，接下来又说的是出现问题的时候，该怎样处理，引用了Laura的话，Laura建议我们应该跟别人倾诉。故这里看这个空应起着承上启下的作用，故A选项，我们应该怎样做？最符合这里的意思。B是问题从哪来的；C他们什么时候有这些问题：D他们为什么会有这些问题。这三个选项都与下文结合不起来，故选A。
37.段落大意题。第二段作者向我们讲述了Laura的一件事，她丢了钱包，不敢告诉父母，怕他们生气。但是最后她还是告诉了他们，并且得到了父母的原谅。所以从这件事上她知道了以后再遇到问题时，一定要和别人一起分享。所以这一段是作者用Laura做了一个例子告诉我们，当我们遇到问题时，应该怎么办。故选B。
38.字义猜测题。前面句子是一个否定句。“It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.从后面解决它。可知，我们不应该避免它。符合题意。
39.推理判断题。根据文章的第三段内容可知，Robert Hunt关于这个问题，给我们提出了一些建议，他说回避问题是不可取的，我们可以先找个人倾诉，这个人不一定必须是个专家，可以是自己的父母。故由此我们可以推断Robert应该是一个青少年问题的专家。故选D。
40.主旨大意题。这篇短文通过一个具体的事例想要告诉我们，青少年的生活中总是会遇到一些问题，当我们遇到问题时，我们不应该逃避，而是要学会和别人分享，对别人倾诉，这样就会减少我们的忧虑，或许还能找到解决问题的方法。故选C。
D
If you have any problems, feel free to ask Carol, an expert counselor(顾问), for advice. Below are some of the questions and answers.
Subject: Careless Father From: Father Troubles Dear Carol,My dad doesn’t care about the things my brother and I do, even our awards(奖状). What should I do
Re Subject: Careless Father From: Carol Dear Father Troubles,I’m sorry your dad doesn’t show pride in you and your brother. Maybe you and your brother could write a letter to your dad explaining how hard you work to get awards, and telling him that you will feel really good if you know he is proud of you.If your dad is still blind to your success, it will hurt. But you’re not alone. Lots of kids have careless fathers. Have you told your grandparents about your success They might want to hear every detail. A teacher, counselor or good friend can also encourage you and make you feel great. Here I hope you and your brother will get the congratulations（祝贺）. But it’s important that you continue to work hard for the sense of success it brings to you — not everyone else. Keep encouraging each other too.
Subject: Dream for the Future From: UnsureDear Carol,I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! I feel I’m left alone when friends talk about their dreams for the future.
Re Subject: Dream for the Future From: CarolDear Unsure,Although a few lucky boys and girls seem to know from Day One that they want to be reporters or teachers or computer scientists, most kids need time to discover their future.As a girl, I always kept a diary, but I had never thought to be a writer until I was in university. There’s really no need to worry. Most people did several jobs as adults before they found what they most enjoy. And many adults finally did something they never expected. Don’t have stress because your friends have already known what they want to do. Take your time discovering what you believe in and what you’re best at. Work hard at school, try a lot after school and find out about summer lessons or other chances. You may even be a volunteer at a pet shop or hospital or your parents’ friends’ business. Little by little, you’ll find out what job you are interested in, and your future will become clearer and clearer.
41. “Father Trouble” and “unsure” must be ________.
A. names of two writers B. topic of two e-mails
C. pen names of some parents D.net names of some children
42. What does Carol suggest “Father Troubles” writing in the letter to their father

A. By talking about his / her success with a good friend.
B. By saying that he / she is very proud of himself/herself.
C. By showing his / her success to his / her brother.
D. By writing to a counselor for advice.
44.When did Carol find that she wanted to be a writer

第二节、阅读填空（5分）
Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that the sport you chose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. 41 ．This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
42． Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.43 If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep fit.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment- friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.44． They are better replacements for traditional heath clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play spots outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership 45．
A．Simple and free power walking can also help you stay healthy.
B．But the final goal should be “green gyms.”
C．Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition.
D．And best of all, it's free.
E. However, there are many environment-friendly sports.
【答案】CEABD
【解析】这篇短文主要在于倡导大家多进行环保型的运动方式，多参与那些占地少，耗费资源少的运动项目。
41．根据上文“Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. ”有些体育运动资源匮乏。你可能知道，高尔夫不仅消耗了大片的农村地区，还消耗了大量的水。可知下文选项C符合题意，“Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. ”此外，大量的精力被用来保持球场良好的状态。故选C。
42．根据下文“Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.”快走就是可以选择的一项环保运动，你不需要任何特殊设备，除了一双好鞋，你不必担心资源和你的钱包。可知选项E符合题意“However, there are many environment-friendly sports. ”然而，有许多环保运动。故选E。
43．根据下文“If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep fit. ”可知定期行走对心脏有益，根据专家说，每天快走可以让你不那么焦虑，睡得好，保持健康。故“简单而自由的步行也能帮助你保持健康。”选项A符合题意“Simple and free power walking can also help you stay healthy.”。故选A。
44．根据上文“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment- friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. ”可知，可以使用环保的设备和购买回收材料制成产品，这里是说环保健身。可知选项B符合题意“But the final goal should be “green gyms. ”但最终目标应该是“绿色健身房”。故选B。
45．根据上文“They are better replacements for traditional heath clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play spots outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership”它们是传统健康俱乐部和现代体育中心的更好替代品。绿色健身房的成员在户外、乡村或其他空地上运动。开始成为会员并没有特别的要求。可知下文中选项D符合题意，“And best of all, it's free. ”最重要的是，它是免费的。故选D。

Dear Peter,
Don’t worry about your study too much. First, you should learn to relax. I think doing some sports is good for you. Listening to music is also a good way to relax. And I think it’s necessary to have a healthy eating habit. Remember to have breakfast every morning. It can provide you with enough energy to learn for the whole morning. What’s more, you’d better not stay up too late so as to have enough sleep. It will help you remain active during the day. Finally, you can talk with your friends, parents or teachers often. Tell them about your thoughts. Try to get help from them.
I hope you will be full of energy and learn better.
Yours,
Zhang Yang

A
In a small village, a little boy lived with his parents. He was the only son. He used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. His friends and neighbours avoided him, and his parents were really worried about him.
His parents advised him many times to control his anger(怒气) and be kind. Unluckily, it didn’t work. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.
One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails(钉子) and asked the boy to hit one nail on the board every time he became angry. The little boy found it interesting and accepted the task.
Every time he got angry, he ran to the board and hit a nail. His anger drove him to hit nails on the board 30 times on the first day! After the next few days, the boy hit fewer nails on the board. The little boy found it very difficult to hit the nails and decided to control his anger. Slowly, the number of nails hit on the board was reduced half.
One day, the boy didn’t hit any nails because he didn’t lose control at all that day. Then, his father told him to take a nail away from the board each time he controlled his anger. A few days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the board. However, there remained a few nails that he could not pull out.
The father asked him, pointing to a hole, “What do you see here ”
The boy replied, “A hole in the board!”
The father told the boy, “The nails were your anger and they were hit on people. You can take the nails away but the holes in the board will remain. The board will never look the same. It has scars(痕迹) all over. Some nails cannot even be pulled out. Your angry words were like that! Use friendly words. Use them to show the love and kindness in your heart!”

“The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smart phone.” It was rewritten from a beautiful poem by Amy Cheung. It shows that smart phone enlarges the distance between people in some degree. We can see many young people use their smart phones everywhere, such as in the underground, on buses, in restaurants and so on. They even use their smart phones when they are walking. They often use their smart phones to watch videos, chat with friends through social media（社交媒体）, or play games when they are free. Smart phones have become an important part of people’s lives and the young people depend on them much more than they realize. They can’t live without smart phones. A person who spends too much time on the smart phone is called a phone addict（成瘾者）. Phone addicts often snub the people around them because they just focus on their smart phones.
Spending too much time on smart phones is bad for young people in many ways. When young people spend too much time on phones, they don’t have enough time to communicate with their friends or parents face to face. It will damage their relationship. What’s more, phone addiction can also do harm to their study and health.
So it is high time to stop phone addiction. You can follow these suggestions. First, communicate with others face to face instead of talking with them through social media. Second, take part in activities which are good for your body and mind when you are free. What’s more, learn to look around and find the beauty of life when you have nothing to do, instead of depending on your phone all the time. Beauty is all around if you open your heart to feel.
31.What do many young people often do when they are free
A. Communicating with their friends and parents face to face.
B. Reading books in the library.
C. Playing with their smart phones.
D. Taking exercise with their friends.
32.Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Spending too much time on phones will not damage the relationship between people.
B. Spending too much time on phones is not bad for young people’s study and health.
C. Many young people seldom talk with their friends through social media.
D. The young people depend on smart phones much more than they realize.
33.The underlined word “snub” in Paragraph 1 means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 关心 B. 冷落 C. 重视 D. 打扰
34.What can we learn from the passage
A. We can see many old people use their smart phones on the underground.
B. We should depend on our phones when we have nothing to do.
C. We should spend more time on smart phones.
D. Communicating with others face to face is important.
35. How many suggestions does the writer give to stop phone addiction
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.___36___Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
36 Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One
A. What can they do about this
B Where do the problems come from
C. When did they have these problems
D. Why do they have so many problems
37. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A. answer a question B. give an example
C. introduce his friend D. share his experience
38.What is the meaning of the underlined word
A.解除 B.避免 C.对待 D.解决
39. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A. Laura’s teacher
B. the writer of the passage
C. a person with a problem
D. an expert on students’ problem
40. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Few children are careful with their money.
B. Parents are more experienced than children
C. Talking to someone helps to solve problems.
D. Students often have a lot of worries at school
D
If you have any problems, feel free to ask Carol, an expert counselor(顾问), for advice. Below are some of the questions and answers.
Subject: Careless Father From: Father Troubles Dear Carol,My dad doesn’t care about the things my brother and I do, even our awards(奖状). What should I do
Re Subject: Careless Father From: Carol Dear Father Troubles,I’m sorry your dad doesn’t show pride in you and your brother. Maybe you and your brother could write a letter to your dad explaining how hard you work to get awards, and telling him that you will feel really good if you know he is proud of you.If your dad is still blind to your success, it will hurt. But you’re not alone. Lots of kids have careless fathers. Have you told your grandparents about your success They might want to hear every detail. A teacher, counselor or good friend can also encourage you and make you feel great. Here I hope you and your brother will get the congratulations（祝贺）. But it’s important that you continue to work hard for the sense of success it brings to you — not everyone else. Keep encouraging each other too.
Subject: Dream for the Future From: UnsureDear Carol,I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! I feel I’m left alone when friends talk about their dreams for the future.
Re Subject: Dream for the Future From: CarolDear Unsure,Although a few lucky boys and girls seem to know from Day One that they want to be reporters or teachers or computer scientists, most kids need time to discover their future.As a girl, I always kept a diary, but I had never thought to be a writer until I was in university. There’s really no need to worry. Most people did several jobs as adults before they found what they most enjoy. And many adults finally did something they never expected. Don’t have stress because your friends have already known what they want to do. Take your time discovering what you believe in and what you’re best at. Work hard at school, try a lot after school and find out about summer lessons or other chances. You may even be a volunteer at a pet shop or hospital or your parents’ friends’ business. Little by little, you’ll find out what job you are interested in, and your future will become clearer and clearer.

D. His / Her dream for the future.
43. How can “Father Troubles” feel great about himself / herself
A. By talking about his / her success with a good friend.
B. By saying that he / she is very proud of himself/herself.
C. By showing his / her success to his / her brother.
D. By writing to a counselor for advice.
44.When did Carol find that she wanted to be a writer

第二节、阅读填空（5分）
Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that the sport you chose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. 41 ．This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
42． Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.43 If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep fit.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment- friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.44． They are better replacements for traditional heath clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play spots outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership 45．
A．Simple and free power walking can also help you stay healthy.
B．But the final goal should be “green gyms.”
C．Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition.
D．And best of all, it's free.
E. However, there are many environment-friendly sports.
