A
New Yorkers are gradually getting used to more bicyclers on those hot blue City Bikes. But what about local bike shops Is City Bike rolling up riders at their expense At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, manager W. Ben said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share programme. "It s getting more people on the road," he said. James Ryan,an employee at Danny’s Cycles,said City Bike is a good option for people to ease in a city famous for its traffic jams. “They can try out a bike without buying one," he said.
Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny's Cycles. But for Frank s Bike Shop, a small business on Christopher St. , the bike-share programme has been bad news. Owner Frank Arroyo said his rental business has decreased by 90% since City Bike was rolled out last month. Arroyo s main rental customers are European tourists, who have been drawn away by City Bikes.
However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop. "People have used the bike-share and realized how great it is to bike in the city, and then decide that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted. Andrew Crooks, owner of NYC Velo, at 64 Second Ave.,said at first he was concerned about bike-share, though, he admitted, "I was happy to see people on bikes. It seemed like a great idea, but one that would be difficult to implement(实施)." Crooks said he worried about inexperienced riders lack of awareness of biking rules and strong negative reaction from non-cyclists. However, he said, it’s still too early to tell if his business has been impacted. While it is possible that bike-share will cause a drop in business, Crooks thought that the idea was a positive step forward for New York City.

A.It found its bike sales unaffected. B.It shifted its business to rentals.

2.What is the author's chief concern about the increasing use of City Bikes
A.How non cyclists respond to the programme.

3.Why is the bike-share programme bad news for Frank’s Bike Shop

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteer don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
1.According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who_______.
A.is willing to help those in need without pay B.can afford to travel to different places
C.has a strong wish to be successful D.has made a big fortune in life
2.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer
A.She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B.She had already had some experience.
C.She was asked by Mother Teresa.
D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
3.What is Tracy’s “new idea” (in paragraph 2) of being a volunteer
A.Going abroad to help the sick. B.Working in Mother Teresa’s home.
C.Doing simple things to help the poor. D.Improving oneself through helping others.
4.What is the best title for the passage
A.How to Be a Volunteer. B.Voluntary Life in India.
C.A Different Meaning of Volunteer. D.Inspiration from Mother Teresa.

Bellevue Manor is a low-income, multicultural community. For several years, it showed signs of conflict: The number of calls to police was much bigger, and many of these calls could not easily he solved by police officers. As part of his research, Jabril Abdulle investigated how differences in cultural backgrounds influenced community members' relationship. "I saw a lot of conflicts in the community," he says,“and a lack of proper response to conflicts other than calling the police." In interviews with community members, he found that eye contact, gestures and comments might cause conflicts among members of some cultures. He realized the best approach is not to call police hut to train and help community members to take responsibility for managing conflicts. An effort was made to invite volunteer mediators(调解员) from various cultural groups in the community. Nine volunteers participated in a four-day course. Discussions were focused on what different cultural groups mean,how to respond to conflict. and what is highly valued in different societies.
Successful mediation helps a lot. One of the most impressive examples involved a group of youths who had robbed a local store. Through mediation, the youths came to understand that the minor robbery -which they admitted to committing for no real reason had significant financial and emotional consequences for the store owner. They agreed to do volunteer work for the store owner who, realizing that they sincerely regretted the harm done to him, ended up offering them part-time jobs. Two of the youths involved went on to become honoured students.
In a diverse community, meditation led to a considerable amount of avoidable conflicts,and with proper mediation training,community members could solve these quarrels without involving police and the legal system.
1.The community of Bellevue Manor was NOT expected to be _______.
A.of low-income B.multicultural C.of more conflicts D.harmonious
2.Facing conflicts, the community members used to __________.
A.refer to mediation B.call police C.settle them privately D.avoid contacts
3.Jabril Abdulle's project in the community aims to ____________.
A.train the mediators from various cultural groups
B.correct the community members' body language
C.understand the community multicultural values
D.help community members to manage conflicts
4.The fact that two youths involved in the robbery become honoured students proves _________.
A.the mediation worked well beyond expectation
B.the youths had been working hard at their lessons
C.the two youths were innocent in the store robbery
D.there would be no crimes committed any more

Amber has a degree in business management and economics. She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia (柬埔寨) through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro-finance(小额信贷) company to help the poor get financial services.
Amber’s first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language, understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings. Her volunteer service involved working with a local microfinance company. In addition to writing plans, preparing international marketing materials and building donor(捐赠人) relations, Amber met with company clients. During these visits she learned how the small loans they received transformed their lives. She learned first hand the benefits of micro-finance, which by providing farmers and small-business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty (贫穷).
“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client^ business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school," Amber said.
Amber recalled that one client called Paul walked her all around his house, pointing to what he had done with each of eight loans he d received. He explained how every loan had improved his family’s quality of life. Amber said he was one of the hardest-working men she had ever met. He had suffered greatly in the Cambodian Civil War and became disabled, but not once did he let it kill his dreams of realizing a better life for his family. His latest purchase, a sound system that he rented out for weddings and other parties doubled his income!
Amber said, "Living and working in Cambodia helped me see the world in new ways and made me aware of the hardship and suffering that many people around the world face every day. Those eleven months were some of the most meaningful months of my life."

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.
Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and handed out the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.
Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”
When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1:
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all._____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,” his mum continued._____

答案：carrots; shiny/shining; so; myself; earlier; to cook; searched; swept; where; a
解析：本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了16年前的戒指失而复得的故事。
①考查名词单复数。根据上文的"a handful of"可知,此处表示一把小胡萝卜,所以应用carrot的复数形式。
②考查形容词。根据上文的"a"及下文的名词"object" 可知,此处需要用形容词作定语修饰名词,故填shiny或shining。
③考查固定结构。Pahlsson的尖叫声是如此响亮以至于她的女儿从房子中跑了出来。此处是so... that...结构,表示"如此……以至于……"。
④考查代词。根据语境可知,hurt这一动作的发出者和承受者为同一人,故应用I的反身代词形式,意为"她认为我伤了我自己",故填 myself。
⑤考查副词的比较级。此处表示"16年前",故填earlier"……之前,先前"。
⑥考查不定式。此处不定式表示"目的",意为"去掉钻戒以做饭",故填to cook。
⑦考查动词的时态。根据本段的基本时态为一般过去时及语境可知,此处应用一般过去时表示发生在过去的动作,故填searched。
⑧考查过去分词。根据上文的"got"及语境可知,此处应填sweep的过去分词形式swept,意为"被扫进"。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the garden,在从句中充当地点状语,故填where。
⑩考查冠词。此处表示"一个奇迹",所以需要用不定冠词a表泛指。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, a senior high school student in China. I happened to read the advertisement that you’ve posted on the Internet, employing Chinese students as part-time Chinese tutors. I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from China and I’d like to get the job.
For me, Chinese is my native language for 9 years with a good command of spoken English as well as written English. I’m willing to help foreigners learn Chinese well and introduce Chinese culture to the world as well.
I hope I’ll be accepted as a member of yours.
Looking forward to your reply.
第二节
答案：
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. As he fought with his thoughts, his mum asked him, “What's the matter ” “Mum, what if doing the right thing would mean you would lose something ” he asked in reply. “Son, if it is the right thing to do, then I am sure you will be rewarded for it. A wrong thing may seem attractive at first, but if it is wrong, it will hurt us someday,” his mum said.
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,” his mum continued. The next day in class, Miss Natasha announced, “Today Ali has done what only a few of us would have the courage to do. He came to me and told me that I had mistakenly given him two marks and he was right about it, so the first position goes to Bob, not Ali.” Everyone, even Bob, was surprised by this development. After the class, Bob asked Ali, “Why did you do that ”Ali simply replied, “Because it was the right thing to do.
解析：本文以人物为线索展开, 讲述了Ali 和Bob 一直是竞争对手, 这一次Ali 以一分的优势胜过了Bob, 成为班上第一。 但Ali 在收拾卷子时却发现 Natasha 小姐改错了一个题, Ali 如果把这件事告诉 Natasha 小姐, 他不仅会失去两分, 而且还会失去第一名的位置, Ali 犹豫不决。 最后在妈妈的建议下, Ali 第二天还是告诉了Natasha 小姐分数改错了的事情, 将第一的位置让给了Bob。1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“他知道如果把这件事告诉老师, 他就会失去一切。 ”可知, 第一段可描写Ali 和妈妈的对话, 妈妈告诉 Ali 要相信做正确的事情会得到回报, 一件错误的事情一开始可能看起来很吸引人, 但如果它是错误的, 有一天它会伤害我们。②由第二段首句内容“‘我的儿子, 你是一个勇敢而诚实的孩子, 所以就去做你认为对的事。 ’他的妈妈继续说。 ”可知, 第二段可描写 Natasha 小姐在班上宣布了Ali 告诉她分数改错的事情, 把第一名让给了 Bob。2.续写线索:Ali 思想斗争——妈妈讲道理——妈妈鼓励做正确的事情——Ali 说出真相——第一名让给了Bob

New Yorkers are gradually getting used to more bicyclers on those hot blue City Bikes. But what about local bike shops Is City Bike rolling up riders at their expense At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, manager W. Ben said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share programme. "It s getting more people on the road," he said. James Ryan,an employee at Danny’s Cycles,said City Bike is a good option for people to ease in a city famous for its traffic jams. “They can try out a bike without buying one," he said.
Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny's Cycles. But for Frank s Bike Shop, a small business on Christopher St. , the bike-share programme has been bad news. Owner Frank Arroyo said his rental business has decreased by 90% since City Bike was rolled out last month. Arroyo s main rental customers are European tourists, who have been drawn away by City Bikes.
However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop. "People have used the bike-share and realized how great it is to bike in the city, and then decide that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted. Andrew Crooks, owner of NYC Velo, at 64 Second Ave.,said at first he was concerned about bike-share, though, he admitted, "I was happy to see people on bikes. It seemed like a great idea, but one that would be difficult to implement(实施)." Crooks said he worried about inexperienced riders lack of awareness of biking rules and strong negative reaction from non-cyclists. However, he said, it’s still too early to tell if his business has been impacted. While it is possible that bike-share will cause a drop in business, Crooks thought that the idea was a positive step forward for New York City.

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteer don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”

Bellevue Manor is a low-income, multicultural community. For several years, it showed signs of conflict: The number of calls to police was much bigger, and many of these calls could not easily he solved by police officers. As part of his research, Jabril Abdulle investigated how differences in cultural backgrounds influenced community members' relationship. "I saw a lot of conflicts in the community," he says,“and a lack of proper response to conflicts other than calling the police." In interviews with community members, he found that eye contact, gestures and comments might cause conflicts among members of some cultures. He realized the best approach is not to call police hut to train and help community members to take responsibility for managing conflicts. An effort was made to invite volunteer mediators(调解员) from various cultural groups in the community. Nine volunteers participated in a four-day course. Discussions were focused on what different cultural groups mean,how to respond to conflict. and what is highly valued in different societies.
Successful mediation helps a lot. One of the most impressive examples involved a group of youths who had robbed a local store. Through mediation, the youths came to understand that the minor robbery -which they admitted to committing for no real reason had significant financial and emotional consequences for the store owner. They agreed to do volunteer work for the store owner who, realizing that they sincerely regretted the harm done to him, ended up offering them part-time jobs. Two of the youths involved went on to become honoured students.
In a diverse community, meditation led to a considerable amount of avoidable conflicts,and with proper mediation training,community members could solve these quarrels without involving police and the legal system.

Amber has a degree in business management and economics. She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia (柬埔寨) through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro-finance(小额信贷) company to help the poor get financial services.
Amber’s first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language, understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings. Her volunteer service involved working with a local microfinance company. In addition to writing plans, preparing international marketing materials and building donor(捐赠人) relations, Amber met with company clients. During these visits she learned how the small loans they received transformed their lives. She learned first hand the benefits of micro-finance, which by providing farmers and small-business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty (贫穷).
“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client^ business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school," Amber said.
Amber recalled that one client called Paul walked her all around his house, pointing to what he had done with each of eight loans he d received. He explained how every loan had improved his family’s quality of life. Amber said he was one of the hardest-working men she had ever met. He had suffered greatly in the Cambodian Civil War and became disabled, but not once did he let it kill his dreams of realizing a better life for his family. His latest purchase, a sound system that he rented out for weddings and other parties doubled his income!
Amber said, "Living and working in Cambodia helped me see the world in new ways and made me aware of the hardship and suffering that many people around the world face every day. Those eleven months were some of the most meaningful months of my life."

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.
Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and handed out the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.
Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”
When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;

答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.C; 4.D; 5.A; 6.B; 7.C; 8.D; 9.D; 10.A; 11.C; 12.B; 13.D; 14.A; 15.C
第二节
答案：carrots; shiny/shining; so; myself; earlier; to cook; searched; swept; where; a
解析：本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了16年前的戒指失而复得的故事。
①考查名词单复数。根据上文的"a handful of"可知,此处表示一把小胡萝卜,所以应用carrot的复数形式。
②考查形容词。根据上文的"a"及下文的名词"object" 可知,此处需要用形容词作定语修饰名词,故填shiny或shining。
③考查固定结构。Pahlsson的尖叫声是如此响亮以至于她的女儿从房子中跑了出来。此处是so... that...结构,表示"如此……以至于……"。
④考查代词。根据语境可知,hurt这一动作的发出者和承受者为同一人,故应用I的反身代词形式,意为"她认为我伤了我自己",故填 myself。
⑤考查副词的比较级。此处表示"16年前",故填earlier"……之前,先前"。
⑥考查不定式。此处不定式表示"目的",意为"去掉钻戒以做饭",故填to cook。
⑦考查动词的时态。根据本段的基本时态为一般过去时及语境可知,此处应用一般过去时表示发生在过去的动作,故填searched。
⑧考查过去分词。根据上文的"got"及语境可知,此处应填sweep的过去分词形式swept,意为"被扫进"。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the garden,在从句中充当地点状语,故填where。
⑩考查冠词。此处表示"一个奇迹",所以需要用不定冠词a表泛指。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, a senior high school student in China. I happened to read the advertisement that you’ve posted on the Internet, employing Chinese students as part-time Chinese tutors. I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from China and I’d like to get the job.
For me, Chinese is my native language for 9 years with a good command of spoken English as well as written English. I’m willing to help foreigners learn Chinese well and introduce Chinese culture to the world as well.
I hope I’ll be accepted as a member of yours.
Looking forward to your reply.
第二节
答案：
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. As he fought with his thoughts, his mum asked him, “What's the matter ” “Mum, what if doing the right thing would mean you would lose something ” he asked in reply. “Son, if it is the right thing to do, then I am sure you will be rewarded for it. A wrong thing may seem attractive at first, but if it is wrong, it will hurt us someday,” his mum said.
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,” his mum continued. The next day in class, Miss Natasha announced, “Today Ali has done what only a few of us would have the courage to do. He came to me and told me that I had mistakenly given him two marks and he was right about it, so the first position goes to Bob, not Ali.” Everyone, even Bob, was surprised by this development. After the class, Bob asked Ali, “Why did you do that ”Ali simply replied, “Because it was the right thing to do.
解析：本文以人物为线索展开, 讲述了Ali 和Bob 一直是竞争对手, 这一次Ali 以一分的优势胜过了Bob, 成为班上第一。 但Ali 在收拾卷子时却发现 Natasha 小姐改错了一个题, Ali 如果把这件事告诉 Natasha 小姐, 他不仅会失去两分, 而且还会失去第一名的位置, Ali 犹豫不决。 最后在妈妈的建议下, Ali 第二天还是告诉了Natasha 小姐分数改错了的事情, 将第一的位置让给了Bob。1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“他知道如果把这件事告诉老师, 他就会失去一切。 ”可知, 第一段可描写Ali 和妈妈的对话, 妈妈告诉 Ali 要相信做正确的事情会得到回报, 一件错误的事情一开始可能看起来很吸引人, 但如果它是错误的, 有一天它会伤害我们。②由第二段首句内容“‘我的儿子, 你是一个勇敢而诚实的孩子, 所以就去做你认为对的事。 ’他的妈妈继续说。 ”可知, 第二段可描写 Natasha 小姐在班上宣布了Ali 告诉她分数改错的事情, 把第一名让给了 Bob。2.续写线索:Ali 思想斗争——妈妈讲道理——妈妈鼓励做正确的事情——Ali 说出真相——第一名让给了Bob
