A
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, "Paris's eyes rolled back," Taylor says. "She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency."
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, "Does anyone know CPR "
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. "It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death," says Taylor.
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat returned.
"I know I was really lucky," Paris says now. "Most people don't survive this. My team saved my life."
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. "I feel more confident in my actions now," Taylor says. "I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation."

Walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy on any day, and you will get the strange feeling of an ghost town. So why even call it a town Because that’s exactly what it is, complete with 4,000 plus citizens of 48 nationalities, all of whom live underground!
Coober Pedy was built in 1915, following the discovery of opal(蛋白石). As people from across the country and world came to mine the precious stone, they realized that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not, because of the extreme temperatures.
In this case, it meant living underground, by changing old mines into homes and building the world’s only underground town.
As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger and more sophisticated(复杂巧妙的). There are now also several hotels to accommodate the tourists from all over the world, to see this unusual town. And while the structures may be located underground, they are as good as those that lie above. Not only do the underground town take full advantage of the beautiful red rock, but they also feature all the modern amenities(便利设施) like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And if that is not enough, the town also has gift shops selling jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church! For those that need some physical activities, the town offers a golf course.
Besides being the capital of the world and a popular tourist destination, Coober Pedy is also a favorite among filmmakers and has been featured in movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream.
1.People first built Coober Pedy to _______.
A.avoid the hot weather
B.make full use of room
C.protect themselves from the animal danger above
D.take advantage of the local materials
2.According to the fourth paragraph, Coober Pedy ______.
A.has very simple structures B.has become a great tourist attraction
C.provides more amenities than a modern hotel D.only allows people to live a simple life
3.What do people probably feel when staying in Coober Pedy
A.Disappointed. B.Frightened C.Comfortable D.Strange.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.A ghost town in Australia.
B.Australia’s exciting underground town—Coober Pedy.
C.The structure of an underground town.
D.The attraction of Coober Pedy to filmmakers.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB
A.To explore new means of transport.
B.To design new types of cars.
C.To find out older driver's problems.
D.To teach people traffic rules.
2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe
A.It keeps them independent.
B.It helps them save time.
C.It builds up their strength.
D.It cures their mental illnesses.
3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers
A.Improve their driving skills.
B.Develop driver-assist technologles.
C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D.Organize regular physical checkups.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.A new Model Electric Car
B.A Solution to Traffic Problems
C.Driving Services for Elders
D.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

Not being the best but touching the limits of your ability. This belief came from my third grade teacher, the most trusted and loved person in my life.
Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the conviction(确信) that talking to small kids didn't mean that he had to sacrifice proper pronunciation or grammar. And he was demanding. Oh, he wasn't unreasonable or cruel; he simply felt that no matter what your best was,you should achieve it.
As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade maths teacher. I was not, nor ever will be. gifted in maths. And thirteen year old girls do not have the energy to devote to something like square roots(平方根). I remember our struggles, “I don’t know the answer. I can’t do it! Perhaps you don’t know the answer," he would say quietly. "Do you think we might figure it out together How do you know what you can do until you try ”
Mr. Myrus lived around the corner,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his wood shop. Inthis room of sawdust, wood chips and the smoke from the wood-burning stove,I fell respected and valued as aperson. I knew there was someone who liked me for who Iwas,someone who, while he always wanted me to do my best, let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.
Mr. Myrus was my teacher and my friend. He taught me to be kind. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honour, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the” best, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me.
1.When did Mr. Myrus first become the author's teacher
A.When she was eight years old. B.When she was in the fifth grade.
C.When she was thirteen years old. D.When she was in the eighth grade.
2.How did the author feel when she began studying maths at thirteen
A.She was devoted to maths. B.Maths was difficult to learn.
C.She could improve her maths soon. D.The maths teacher was unreasonable.
3.Why did the author often visit Mr. Myrus' wood shop
A.She could reach the limits of her ability. B.She could help Mr. Myrus with his work.
C.She could get a sense of self-respect there. D.She could get help for her study problems.
4.Which of the following may Mr. Myrus agree with
A.Result always matters most. B.Everyone is equally talented.
C.Whatever you do,spare no effort. D.When talking to kids, speak in their way.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again gave the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

全文翻译
纽卡斯尔大学的智能交通团队已经将一辆电动汽车变成了一个名为“ DriveLAB”的移动实验室,以了解老龄司机所面临的挑战,并发现关键的压力点。
研究表明放弃驾驶导致他们变得更加孤立、不活跃,是老年人健康和福祉下降的关键原因之一。
在菲尔·布莱斯教授的带领下,纽卡斯尔团队正在为老龄司机开发车载式汽车技术,他们希望这些技术能帮助老年人一直到晚年也能继续开车。
这些技术包括定制的导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。菲尔 布莱斯解释说:“对于许多老年人, 尤其是那些独自生活或在乡村生活的老年人来说,开车对保持他们的独立性以及不必依赖他人而出行的自由都很重要。”
“但我们都必须承认,随着年龄的增长,我们的反应会慢下来,这往往会导致人们回避任何具有潜在挑战性的驾驶状况,并对驾驶技能失去信心。结果是,人们在真正需要之前就停止开车了。”
老年驾驶研究的首席研究员艾米郭博士解释说:“DriveLAB正帮助我们了解老年驾驶者的主要压力和困难,以及我们如何利用技术来解决这些问题。”
“例如,我们大多数人都认为老龄司机开车总是比其他人慢,但令人惊讶的是,我们发现,在时速30英里的区域,他们很难保持恒定的速度,因此更有可能打破限速,并有面临被罚款的风险。我们关注的是控制其速度的系统的好处,以防止这种情况的出现。”
“我们希望我们的工作将帮助找到技术解决方案,确保老龄司机行车更安全。”
D
答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.C; 4.C
解析：1.数字计算题。根据第一段第二句“This belief came from my third grade teacher.”及第三段第一句“As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade maths teacher."及第三段第三句“And thirteen-year-old girls do not have the energy to devote to something like square roots(平方根)." 可知,作者三年级第一次碰到Myrus老师,第二次是在八年级,那个时候适13岁,因此可以算出作者第一次碰到Myrus是在8岁的时候,故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“I remember our struggles, ‘I don't know the answer. I can’t do it!’” 可知,作者记得她们的苦难,经常说“我不知道答案。 我不会做”,意味着数学对作者来说是比较难的,故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句"...I felt respected and valued as a person." 可知,作者喜欢去老师那里是因为她感到自己是受尊重的,有价值的,故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Not being the best but touching the limits of your ability.”可知,即使不是最好,但也要尽自己最大的能力,在记叙文当中,主旨大意通常在第一段或者最后一段,选项C符合题意。
第二节
答案：CEAGD
解析：本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中介绍了成功人士度过休闲时间的方式。
1. C本段的主题是“锻炼”,并且根据空前的“You’ll also look better and feel better. ”可知,C项符合语境,C项中的Moreover正是对上文的递进。
2. E本段主要讲述了成功人士喜欢读书,E项“成功人士永远不会停止阅读新书”与本段话题相关。故选E项。
3. A分析文章结构可知,空处是第四段的小标题,通读第四段可知,本段主要讲述 了教育的重要性,文中的“local colleges offer courses”以及网上学习都是接受教育的方式,A项They Take Classes正概括了这段内容。
4. G根据空后的“If you have a free hour and an Internet connection, you can start learning a new skill. ”可知,作者在推荐网络课程,G项中的“the value of free online courses”与之相符。
5. D该段主要描述了做志愿者工作给人们带来的益处。D项“志愿服务也可以帮助你发展你的事业”与上文意义相承, 虽然F项中也含有“volunteering”,但是志愿者工作不是帮助你赚钱的手段。

⑤考查名词复数。passer-by为单数可数名词,且其前没有限定词修饰,故此处用其复数形式passers-by。
⑥考查代词。分析句子结构可知,这里应用It作形式主语,真正的主语为后面的动词不定式to have a substitute family to be with。
⑦考查状语从句。此处表示:当她想自己的家时,有一个替代的家庭是一件非常欣慰的事。根据语境可知,这里表示"当……时",故用when。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句中by为介词,介词后应接动词-ing形式作宾语,动词refer的动词-ing形式为referring。
⑨考查非谓语动词。本空考查encourage sb. to do sth.的被动形式,即"某人被鼓励做某事",故填to contradict。
⑩考查介词。此处表示:她意识到在学习和社交生活之间达到平衡是非常重要的。介词between表示"在……之间"。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lips shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “ Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. We didn’t go to the circus that night. When I asked Dad why he did so, Dad said, “My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young.” He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we didn’t go without.”
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, "Paris's eyes rolled back," Taylor says. "She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency."
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, "Does anyone know CPR "
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. "It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death," says Taylor.
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat returned.
"I know I was really lucky," Paris says now. "Most people don't survive this. My team saved my life."
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. "I feel more confident in my actions now," Taylor says. "I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation."
1.What happened to Paris on a March day

Walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy on any day, and you will get the strange feeling of an ghost town. So why even call it a town Because that’s exactly what it is, complete with 4,000 plus citizens of 48 nationalities, all of whom live underground!
Coober Pedy was built in 1915, following the discovery of opal(蛋白石). As people from across the country and world came to mine the precious stone, they realized that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not, because of the extreme temperatures.
In this case, it meant living underground, by changing old mines into homes and building the world’s only underground town.
As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger and more sophisticated(复杂巧妙的). There are now also several hotels to accommodate the tourists from all over the world, to see this unusual town. And while the structures may be located underground, they are as good as those that lie above. Not only do the underground town take full advantage of the beautiful red rock, but they also feature all the modern amenities(便利设施) like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And if that is not enough, the town also has gift shops selling jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church! For those that need some physical activities, the town offers a golf course.
Besides being the capital of the world and a popular tourist destination, Coober Pedy is also a favorite among filmmakers and has been featured in movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream.
1.People first built Coober Pedy to _______.
A.avoid the hot weather
B.make full use of room
C.protect themselves from the animal danger above
D.take advantage of the local materials
2.According to the fourth paragraph, Coober Pedy ______.
A.has very simple structures B.has become a great tourist attraction
C.provides more amenities than a modern hotel D.only allows people to live a simple life
3.What do people probably feel when staying in Coober Pedy

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB
A.To explore new means of transport.
B.To design new types of cars.
C.To find out older driver's problems.
D.To teach people traffic rules.
2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe
A.It keeps them independent.
B.It helps them save time.
C.It builds up their strength.
D.It cures their mental illnesses.
3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers
A.Improve their driving skills.
B.Develop driver-assist technologles.
C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D.Organize regular physical checkups.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.A new Model Electric Car
B.A Solution to Traffic Problems
C.Driving Services for Elders
D.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

Not being the best but touching the limits of your ability. This belief came from my third grade teacher, the most trusted and loved person in my life.
Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the conviction(确信) that talking to small kids didn't mean that he had to sacrifice proper pronunciation or grammar. And he was demanding. Oh, he wasn't unreasonable or cruel; he simply felt that no matter what your best was,you should achieve it.
As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade maths teacher. I was not, nor ever will be. gifted in maths. And thirteen year old girls do not have the energy to devote to something like square roots(平方根). I remember our struggles, “I don’t know the answer. I can’t do it! Perhaps you don’t know the answer," he would say quietly. "Do you think we might figure it out together How do you know what you can do until you try ”
Mr. Myrus lived around the corner,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his wood shop. Inthis room of sawdust, wood chips and the smoke from the wood-burning stove,I fell respected and valued as aperson. I knew there was someone who liked me for who Iwas,someone who, while he always wanted me to do my best, let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.
Mr. Myrus was my teacher and my friend. He taught me to be kind. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honour, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the” best, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me.
1.When did Mr. Myrus first become the author's teacher
A.When she was eight years old. B.When she was in the fifth grade.
C.When she was thirteen years old. D.When she was in the eighth grade.
2.How did the author feel when she began studying maths at thirteen
A.She was devoted to maths. B.Maths was difficult to learn.
C.She could improve her maths soon. D.The maths teacher was unreasonable.
3.Why did the author often visit Mr. Myrus' wood shop
A.She could reach the limits of her ability. B.She could help Mr. Myrus with his work.
C.She could get a sense of self-respect there. D.She could get help for her study problems.
4.Which of the following may Mr. Myrus agree with
A.Result always matters most. B.Everyone is equally talented.
C.Whatever you do,spare no effort. D.When talking to kids, speak in their way.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again gave the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

全文翻译
纽卡斯尔大学的智能交通团队已经将一辆电动汽车变成了一个名为“ DriveLAB”的移动实验室,以了解老龄司机所面临的挑战,并发现关键的压力点。
研究表明放弃驾驶导致他们变得更加孤立、不活跃,是老年人健康和福祉下降的关键原因之一。
在菲尔·布莱斯教授的带领下,纽卡斯尔团队正在为老龄司机开发车载式汽车技术,他们希望这些技术能帮助老年人一直到晚年也能继续开车。
这些技术包括定制的导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。菲尔 布莱斯解释说:“对于许多老年人, 尤其是那些独自生活或在乡村生活的老年人来说,开车对保持他们的独立性以及不必依赖他人而出行的自由都很重要。”
“但我们都必须承认,随着年龄的增长,我们的反应会慢下来,这往往会导致人们回避任何具有潜在挑战性的驾驶状况,并对驾驶技能失去信心。结果是,人们在真正需要之前就停止开车了。”
老年驾驶研究的首席研究员艾米郭博士解释说:“DriveLAB正帮助我们了解老年驾驶者的主要压力和困难,以及我们如何利用技术来解决这些问题。”
“例如,我们大多数人都认为老龄司机开车总是比其他人慢,但令人惊讶的是,我们发现,在时速30英里的区域,他们很难保持恒定的速度,因此更有可能打破限速,并有面临被罚款的风险。我们关注的是控制其速度的系统的好处,以防止这种情况的出现。”
“我们希望我们的工作将帮助找到技术解决方案,确保老龄司机行车更安全。”
D
答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.C; 4.C
解析：1.数字计算题。根据第一段第二句“This belief came from my third grade teacher.”及第三段第一句“As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade maths teacher."及第三段第三句“And thirteen-year-old girls do not have the energy to devote to something like square roots(平方根)." 可知,作者三年级第一次碰到Myrus老师,第二次是在八年级,那个时候适13岁,因此可以算出作者第一次碰到Myrus是在8岁的时候,故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“I remember our struggles, ‘I don't know the answer. I can’t do it!’” 可知,作者记得她们的苦难,经常说“我不知道答案。 我不会做”,意味着数学对作者来说是比较难的,故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句"...I felt respected and valued as a person." 可知,作者喜欢去老师那里是因为她感到自己是受尊重的,有价值的,故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Not being the best but touching the limits of your ability.”可知,即使不是最好,但也要尽自己最大的能力,在记叙文当中,主旨大意通常在第一段或者最后一段,选项C符合题意。
第二节
答案：CEAGD
解析：本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中介绍了成功人士度过休闲时间的方式。
1. C本段的主题是“锻炼”,并且根据空前的“You’ll also look better and feel better. ”可知,C项符合语境,C项中的Moreover正是对上文的递进。
2. E本段主要讲述了成功人士喜欢读书,E项“成功人士永远不会停止阅读新书”与本段话题相关。故选E项。
3. A分析文章结构可知,空处是第四段的小标题,通读第四段可知,本段主要讲述 了教育的重要性,文中的“local colleges offer courses”以及网上学习都是接受教育的方式,A项They Take Classes正概括了这段内容。
4. G根据空后的“If you have a free hour and an Internet connection, you can start learning a new skill. ”可知,作者在推荐网络课程,G项中的“the value of free online courses”与之相符。
5. D该段主要描述了做志愿者工作给人们带来的益处。D项“志愿服务也可以帮助你发展你的事业”与上文意义相承, 虽然F项中也含有“volunteering”,但是志愿者工作不是帮助你赚钱的手段。

第二节
答案：had left; qualification; a; completely; passers-by; It; when; referring; to contradict; between
解析：文章介绍了中国留学生谢蕾第一次离开祖国远赴英国留学的目的以及她在英国的生活、学习等情况。
①考查动词的时态。固定句型"It + be + the first/second/...time(that)+从句" 表示 "这是某人第几次做某事"。如果主句中的be动词为is,从句要用现在完成时;如果主句中的be动词是was,从句要用过去完成时。故填had left。
②考查名词。句中for为介词,介词后应接名词作宾语,动词qualify的名词形式为qualification。
③考查冠词。根据语境可知,这里表示泛指,且preparation的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
④考查副词。句中new为形容词,应用副词来修饰,故填completely。
⑤考查名词复数。passer-by为单数可数名词,且其前没有限定词修饰,故此处用其复数形式passers-by。
⑥考查代词。分析句子结构可知,这里应用It作形式主语,真正的主语为后面的动词不定式to have a substitute family to be with。
⑦考查状语从句。此处表示:当她想自己的家时,有一个替代的家庭是一件非常欣慰的事。根据语境可知,这里表示"当……时",故用when。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句中by为介词,介词后应接动词-ing形式作宾语,动词refer的动词-ing形式为referring。
⑨考查非谓语动词。本空考查encourage sb. to do sth.的被动形式,即"某人被鼓励做某事",故填to contradict。
⑩考查介词。此处表示:她意识到在学习和社交生活之间达到平衡是非常重要的。介词between表示"在……之间"。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lips shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “ Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. We didn’t go to the circus that night. When I asked Dad why he did so, Dad said, “My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young.” He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we didn’t go without.”
