Having a dream is of great importance. Your dreams are ordinary and realistic. I hope I will admitted into a top university and become a good doctor after I will graduate from university. I hoped one day I can find a cure for cancer. I hope those whom love me and those who I love will be healthy and live happy every day. To realize my dreams, I will take more exercises to build up my body. I will try my best to focus time and energy to my study. I must work hard at my lessons or be fully preparing for the entrance exam.

6.第五句:happy→happily
7.第六句:exercises→exercise
8.第七句:第二个to→on
9.第八句:or→and
10.第八句:preparing→prepared

3.根据主将从现的原则,after引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时表示将来,去掉will。
4.全文是一般现在时,故hoped→hope。
5.定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词是those,因此关系代词只能用who。
6.用副词修饰动词,happy→happily。
7.exercise作“锻炼”讲时是不可数名词,故exercises→exercise。
8.focus on“关注”,是固定短语,故to→on
9.努力学习和充分准备考试是并列关系,故or→and。
10.be fully prepared for做好充分准备,因此preparing→prepared。
【题干】 根据短文内容,从下面的A~G选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余项。
Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 16
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 17
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 18 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
19 Take the language system for example.In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other factors like human race difference count as well.But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no—interference(干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 20 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle(障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C.And these two are well—known as the base of the European culture.
D.At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G.They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C
19. D 20. G
【解析】语篇解读 本文讲述的是东西方的文化差异。
16.由前面一句话The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.可知,东西方的文化是彼此不同的。后面说明文化不同的原因。故选E。
17.由前面一句话Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.可知这里是说两条河流对于文化的作用。故选F。
18.由前面一句This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.和后一句Like the Chinese culture, the European culture...可知,这里是说吉希腊和古罗马文化在欧洲文化中的地位和重要性。故选C。
19.由后面一句Take the language system for example.可知这一自然段主要是用其他方面的不同来说明文化的不同。故选D。
20.由前面一句The differences are everywhere.可知后面讲述的是文化不同对于社会的影响。故选G。

【题干】 “Dad,” I say one day, “let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me ”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What’s our first stop ” asks my father.
“What time is it ”
“Still don’t have a watch ”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩),his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable,” he says. “How was this done ”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself,
Would I ever devote my life to anything
No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own. The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad ” I ask.
“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
That last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize—and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father.
“The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says.“ We’ve got to take another trip like that sometime.”
I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
1.We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father________.
A. followed the fashion
B. got bored with his job
C. was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle
D. liked the author’s collection of stamps
2.What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore
A. His father is interested in sculpture.
B. His father is as innocent as a little boy.
C. He should learn sculpture in the future.
D. He should pursue a specific aim in life.
3.From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author
A. wants his children to learn from their grandfather
B. comes to understand what parental love means
C. learns how to communicate with his father
D. hopes to give whatever he can to his father

B. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.
C. They decide to learn photography together.
D. They begin to change their attitudes to life.

A. Love Nature, Love Life
B.A Son Lost in Adventure
C.A Journey with Dad
D. The Art of Travel
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.D 5.C
【解析】语篇解读 本文讲述了作者和父亲的一次旅行改变了二人对生活的态度。作者从中感悟到了父爱的真谛和做父亲的伟大。
1. 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,父亲打他的领带,戴他的名表,而我我行我素,无所事事,百无聊赖地在Ozarks湖上划着小船:第三段最后一句表明:父亲想让我定居下来,而我现在想让他去冒险。由此可以判断,父亲对我的生活方式不满。故选择C项。
2.推理判断题。从No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.可以推测出,作者感叹自己应该有个明确的人生目标并去努力追求。故选择D项。
3.推理判断题。画线句子的意思是“那最后一句很可能是我对我的父亲的评价,也是我希望我的孩子评价我的话”。而That last sentence指的是上文中的Whatever he could give me,he gave.由此可推断出画线的句子让作者意识到了父爱的含义。故选择B项。
4.推理判断题。从最后几段中的“We’ve got to take another trip like that sometime”.I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.可以推测出,父子二人对生活的态度都
不约而同地发生着改变。故选择D项。

With the mid—term examinations on the way, are you nervous about your grades These days, I’m always thinking about
Started on l0th Nov.2014 By Wilson Smith E—mail: wilsonsmith 16@yahoo.com
Stacey , 14 l0th Nov.2014 I believe that cheating is wrong, but sometimes school can be so stressful (有压力的) that you have to look at your neighbor’s paper or bring a cheat sheet. Many of your classmates cheat, so when you see them cheat and get good grades, you want to cheat as well.
Crystal, 16l0th Nov.2014 Students should not cheat. It is students’ responsibility (责任) to get knowledge for college and life. People should know that cheating is wrong and feel some kind of guilt when they do it even though they may please their parents and teachers in this way.
Edison , 17 11th Nov.2014 It makes me feel good when I have a chance to cheat but I don’t. In the eighth grade, we were taking a test and everyone got up out of their seats when the teacher left the room. But I didn’t. I’d like to look at my report card and say honestly,“This is my grade.”
Sharon,1812th Nov.2014 There’s no doubt that cheating is wrong. Also, it’s unlucky that so many students feel the pressure (压力 ) to cheat. For me, cheating is just a waste of time because it takes more effort. (努力) to cheat than to study. I understand the pressure to cheat, but I don’t agree with it.
Fiona,16 13th Nov.2014 I think, well, cheating is OK if it’s the teacher’s fault. You know, if a teacher isn’t making the material understandable, you have to do something to keep your grades up. But it’s not OK when the reason is just “I’m lazy,” “I’m tired,” “I don’t like it,” or “I would rather sleep in class.”
1. Which statement is the best to be put into□at the beginning of the passage

2.According to Stacey,_______________.
A. it is OK for students to cheat in exams
B. all students who cheat can get good grades

A. she doesn’t cheat in exams
B. she doesn’t know why students cheat
C. she studies harder than any other student in her class
D. she supports the students who cheat in exams
4.What does Fiona think of cheating
A. It is always wrong to cheat in exams.
B. It is completely OK for students to cheat.
C. Lazy students can cheat in exams now and then.

【题干】 B
I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.
One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn(草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.
That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent me. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that might be used by others.
I’ve heard it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans, which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.
It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave them all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

【范文】Actions Speak Louder than Words
①People celebrate Earth Day differently Earth Day differently. In Picture I, a man is trying to put up a banner on a lonely tree②surrounded by stumps,but in vain,③while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting trees. ④The message conveyed here is clesr:“Actions speak louder than words.” Our earth is suffering severe damage,⑤Should we just pay lip service or take Practical measures to protect it The answer is definitely the latter. Immediate actions should be taken,⑥like stopping cutting down trees, to better the environment.
Actions are important in other fields, too.⑦Instead of shouting empty slogans, it is more meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need. We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules.
⑧stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams.

【范文】One possible version:
From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.
It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thoughts or creative ideas.
Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children’s development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be in dependent and become truly successful.

【范文】One possible version:
Where there is a will, there is a way
I first saw this sentence when I entered junior high school. The moment I came into the classroom, I saw the sentence on the blackboard.
I like the proverb because it tells a valuable philosophy of life. Achieving our goals is always not easy, but if we have a strong will,
we are sure to realize them.
Once I was not very good at English. I didn’t know enough English words and my grammar was also poor, which really made me upset. Fortunately, my English teacher noticed my bad situation and said to me, “Don’t lose heart. Remember: where there is a will, there is a way.” Suddenly I was reminded of the sentence on the blackboard!
From then on, I decided to work hard on my English and it finally paid off. My English improved a lot and, more importantly, I gained much confidence.
