The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16.He was biking on his farm in Patagonia,Arizona,a town near the U.S.-Mexico border.Heiss walked toward it,and found on the grassland was a broken balloon with its string attached to a piece of paper.
“Dayami,” it read on one side,in a child’s writing.It was a Christmas wish list,all in Spanish.He suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon,something he used to do himself when he was a kid.And he wondered whether he could find the child who had sent this one.
It would be difficult,but based on the prevailing wind,Heiss was pretty sure where it came from—just across the border,the city of Nogales,Mexico.Heiss then posted about his quest on Meta,attaching photos,hoping his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family.
A few days passed with no leads.Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas.On December 19,he sent a private Meta message to Radio XENY,a radio station based in Nogales.The next morning,Heiss awoke to a message from Radio XENY:They had located Dayami,an eight-year-old girl,and her family,who indeed lived in Nogales.“It just changed my entire day,” said Heiss.Having bought just about everything on Dayami’s list and a few other toys,as they had learned that Dayami had a younger sister.Heiss and his wife,at the Radio XENY,met the family.
“Their eves were wide open with wonder.” Heiss said of the two sisters’ reactions.“Like.‘Oh my gosh,this really did work!’”
Not wanting to disappoint the girls who still believed in Santa Claus,Heiss and his wife told them they were “Santa’s helpers”.
“It was a beautiful and healing experience for us...” Heiss said,“Since our only son died ten years ago,being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives.” Heiss said,“We now have friends for life.And,for a day,that border fence with its wire melted away.”
4.What did Heiss find when hiking on his farm
A.A Christmas wish list from a child.
B.A mass of grassland.
C.A letter addressed to him.
D.A beautiful red balloon.
5.What does the underlined word “leads” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Examples. B.Clues.
C.Suggestions. D.Plans.
6.Why did Heiss manage to find Dayami
A.He wanted to make up for his lost son.
B.He wanted to make friends with Dayami.
C.He wanted to realize his childhood dream.
D.He didn’t want to spoil Santa Claus for the girls.
7.What message does the text intend to convey
A.Love knows no borders.
B.A bold attempt is half success.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Many teachers believe frequent quizzes(小测验) help students better grasp classroom material.Crede,an associate professor of psychology,was skeptical that something as simple as a quiz could positively affect students’ academic performance.He decided to dig deeper and conduct an analytic study of existing research to see if there was any proof to the idea.What he discovered truly surprised him.
Crede analyzed data from previously published studies that examined 52 classes with almost 8,000 students,primarily college-level courses,to determine if frequent quizzes improved the students’ academic performance.Laboratory settings were kept out of the study because Crede wanted to observe whether similar studies from labs would apply to general classrooms.
Crede discovered that when students are quizzed over class material at least once a week,they tend to perform better on midterm and final exams compared to students who did not take quizzes.He also found that students who took frequent quizzes were less likely to fail the class,especially if they were struggling with the course content.Students who struggle the most in a class seem to benefit the greatest from frequent quizzes.The other surprising thing was how much quizzes helped reduce failure rates in classes.The chances of passing a class went through the roof where instructors used this.In addition to quiz frequency,another factor that seemed to positively affect students’ performance was immediate feedback from instructors.Also,quizzes that required students to answer with written responses proved more beneficial to their understanding of class material compared to multiple-choice questions.
Asking teachers to grade written quizzes daily or weekly may discourage some from carrying them out in their classes.Instead,it is recommended that instructors give online quizzes that can be automatically graded by a course management system.Quiz attributes(属性) proved insignificant in the study,including whether the tests were pop quizzes or planned,or if they were online or on paper.
8.What did Crede do to ensure his study’s accuracy
A.He focused on what happened in classrooms.
B.He researched as many students as he could.
C.He made laboratory settings as real as possible.
D.He gave easy quizzes to make every student do well.
9.What did Crede discover in his study
A.Frequent quizzes could remove students’ failure in classes.
B.Instructors’ feedback was more important than frequent quizzes.
C.Frequent quizzes were especially useful to the struggling students.
D.Multiple-choice questions shouldn’t be included in frequent quizzes.
10.What may be a disadvantage of frequent quizzes for teachers
A.Accessing the Internet less frequently.
B.Having too many exam papers to mark.
C.Being unable to get appropriate test materials.
D.Finding it hard to choose the right type of quiz.
11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Quizzes Stimulate a Passion for Creation
B.Quizzes Improve Academic Performance
C.Quizzes Create a Heavy Burden
D.Quizzes Increase Boredom
D
In today’s difficult economic time,it’s natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad.Does the benefit outweigh the cost The answer,in fact,is yes,when you look at the road ahead.
When the economy becomes more challenged,competition for the workforce increases,and employers look for employees with the best credentials(资历).Having an overseas degree—from a university where strong English skills are required—can make all the difference.The added expertise of a foreign degree,along with more cultural experience,can make you more qualified for many jobs.
A 50-year study of 3,400 students shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to impact the participant’s life for years after the experience.
82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path.70% stated that it ignited(点燃) an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience.
And the effect on one’s career can be equally strong.A study by the Queensland,Australia government showed:
61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume.72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee.
Still,there’s the question of how to pay for studying overseas.But the cost doesn’t have to be as high as you think.Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs.And,there are plenty of ways to further offset(抵消)the cost — through financial tips,advice and grants(补助金).
12.What do we know about studying abroad from the second study
A.It helps one to get a job.
B.It affects one’s whole life.
C.It affects one’s career direction.
D.It helps one to make more money.
13.How does the author try to prove his idea
A.By giving examples.
B.By answering questions.
C.By listing facts and numbers.
D.By offering advice and solutions.
14.What does the author think about the university fees
A.Financial tips must increase the university fees.
B.Scholarships can cover some of the costs.
C.Money is a serious problem for studying abroad.
D.There are few ways for the students to earn money.
15.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage
A.Studying abroad is easy.
B.Studying abroad is rewarding.
C.The effects of studying abroad.
D.The problems with studying abroad.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 16 Classes are important,and so is disciplined practice.It can even be fun.Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English learner.
Study every day.Learning any new language is a time-consuming process,more than 300 hours according to some estimates.Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or twice a week,most experts say short,regular study sessions are more effective. 17
18 Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session,try mixing things up.Study a little grammar,then do a short listening exercise,then perhaps read an article on the same topic.Don’t do too much;20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty.The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.
Read,watch,and listen.Reading English-language newspapers and books,listening to music,or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 19
Write it down.Repetition is key as you’re learning English,so writing is a great way to practice. 20 By making a habit of writing,you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improved over time.You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A.Keep things fresh.
B.Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C.But with regular study,it can be done.
D.It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with doing so.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly,you’ll absorb things like speech patterns,accents,and grammar.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school,so not only was this a new school for me,but also a new state and I did not know anyone.
On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal,I sat down at a table in the courtyard.As I began to eat,I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone,so I decided to go and sit with her.Anyway,there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself,and who knew maybe I could make a friend.I walked to check and said,“Excuse me,do you mind if I sit with you ” She was surprised at first,but then smiled and said,“No,I don’t!”
We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years.Towards the end of our senior year,she told me that she had been accepted to an out-of-state college and would be moving away after graduation.I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.
She then shared with me something very moving.“Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch ” she asked.“Of course!Why do you ask ” I replied.
She continued,“I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference.I was severely depressed that day,because something unhappy had happened to me that morning.I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness.It had just broken me down.If you hadn’t appeared,I would be probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Then,she told me something more I hadn’t known before. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Both of us gained a lot from the incident. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了成为一名更好的英语学习者的方法和技巧。
16.C 考查上下文衔接。根据空前面的“学像英语一样的一门新语言可能是一个挑战”和空后面的“课堂是重要的,有纪律的训练也是重要的”可推知,空处应该会讲到学一门语言其实也没那么难,故C项符合语境。
17.F 考查上下文衔接。本段首句讲到了“每天学习”,空前面讲到了“短时的、有规律的学习更加有效”,因此空处讲到的应该是与学习用时有关的内容,故F项符合语境。
18.A 考查段落主旨句。本段主要讲到了通过做许多不同的事情让学习变得有趣,所以A项“保持事情的新鲜感”符合语境。
19.G 考查上下文衔接。本段首句讲到了“阅读、观看和聆听”,空前一句也是围绕这三个词展开的,因此空格处讲到的应该是这样做的好处,故G项“通过反复这样做,你将学会言语模式、口音和语法”符合语境。
20.D 考查上下文衔接。本段主旨句讲到了“写下来”,空前讲到了写作是练习的一个很好的方法,因此空处可能会讲到写作工具,故D项符合语境。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小女孩发现了两只饥饿的小鸟,一开始把它们养在笼子里,后来意识到鸟儿最需要的是自由,于是将小鸟放生。故事告诉我们:令爱常驻的方法是赠予对方一双翅膀。
21.D 由上下文语境及常识可知,装鸟的笼子一般都比较小,故选D项。wooden“木制的”;plastic“塑料的”。
22.A 根据下文“One bird flew from the cage.”这一句可知,一只鸟飞离了笼子,所以前文应表示“女孩使笼子的门开着”,故选A项。这里leave的意思是“使……处于某种状态”。
23.B 根据下文“As it flew close,she grasped it .”可知,小女孩非常害怕小鸟飞走,故选B项。frightened“害怕的”;annoyed“恼怒的”。
24.C 根据下文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可推知,由于小女孩野蛮地抓住小鸟,结果将小鸟捏死了,故选C项。wildly“野蛮地”;unexpectedly“出乎意料地”。
25.C 根据上文“she grasped it ”可知,小女孩抓住了小鸟,故选C项。hold“握着”;reach“够得着”;catch“抓住”;follow“跟随”。
26.D 此处句意为“她注意到另一只鸟儿在笼边来回移动”,故选D项。
27.A 根据下文“She could feel its great for freedom.”这一信息可知,小鸟想要自由,因而会在笼子边来回移动,试图飞出去,故选A项。on the edge of“在……的边上”。
28.B 由后一句“It needed to fly into the blue sky.”可知,鸟儿非常渴望回到天空中,故选B项。
29.A 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可知,由于她粗暴的行为导致小鸟的死亡,因而为了不让另一只小鸟再受到伤害,她轻轻地将小鸟抛向空中,故选A项。softly“轻轻地”。
30.B 根据上文“The bird circled once,twice,and three times.”可知,小鸟非常开心能够在天空中飞翔,故选B项。enjoyment“快乐”;entertainment“娱乐”。
31.D 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可知,失去小鸟对小女孩来说是一种损失,故选D项。opinion“选择”;relief“宽慰;放松”;pain“疼”;loss“损失”。
32.A 此处句意为“她不再关心她的损失,她希望鸟儿快乐”,故选A项。trapped“陷入困境的”。
33.A 此处句意是“突然,鸟儿飞得更近了,轻轻地落在她的肩膀上”,故选A项。land“降落”;drop“下落;掉下”。
34.B 由上文“she grasped it ”以及文章大意可知,小女孩失去第一只小鸟就是因为握得太紧,因而失去爱的最快方式就是紧紧抓住它,故选B项。hold onto“抓住”;hold up“举起;阻挡;拦截”;take up“占据;从事”;take in“吸收;欺骗;领会”。
35.C 由本句前半部分“The fastest way to lose love is to it too tight”可知,与失去爱相比,令爱常驻的方法是赠予它一双翅膀,故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章结合真人真事讲述了在过去的十年里到中国留学的国际学生不断增加及留学生的切身感受。
36.in 考查介词。句意:在过去的十年里,到中国寻求高等教育的国际学生人数一直在增加。此处构成短语in search of “寻找”。故填in。
37.its 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语,修饰限定“academic and social environment”,所以用形容词性物主代词。its academic and social environment意为“它的学术和社会环境”。故填its。
38.was selected 考查动词的时态和语态。select意为“选择”,和主语Goh Qian Xuan之间是被动关系,根据第三段中的“The four (amaze) years I spent in Wuhan has helped to build a strong foundation for my life and career.”中的spent可知,Goh Qian Xuan现在已经离开武汉大学,故当选武汉大学新加坡学生联合会及汉语言文学学生会主席职务的事发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故填was selected。
39.which 考查定语从句。句意:来自新加坡的Goh Qian Xuan在武汉大学学习的四年时间里被选为武汉大学新加坡学生联合会和汉语言文学学生会的主席,这给了她与来自其他国家的学生密切协作的机会。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句的内容且在从句中作主语,应用which引导。故填which。
40.closely 考查副词。closely意为“密切地”,修饰动词work。故填closely。
41.to get 考查动词不定式。此处指“我”来武汉不仅仅是为了取得好成绩。根据句意可知,此处用不定式作目的状语。故填to get。
42.how 考查宾语从句。此处指成为当地学生社团的一分子,看到他们处理事情的方式真的帮助“我”更好地了解了中国人和中国。how意为“如何”,引导宾语从句。故填how。
43.less 考查副词比较级。句意:Goh说,在学生会只过了一年,她就感觉自己不那么像个外国学生了。less是little 的比较级,此处意为“较小程度地”。故填less。
44.amazing 考查形容词。amazing意为“令人惊奇的,令人惊喜的”,修饰years。故填amazing。
45.matters 考查名词复数。matter意为“事情”时是可数名词,空前无冠词,此处表示复数含义,指“中国人处理某些事情的方式”。故填matters。

Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion,which I hope will be of some help to you.Frankly,I hold the view that it is perfectly reasonable to study abroad.The reasons are as follows.
To begin with,exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes the learning process engaging and effective.Moreover,bathed in a different culture of a foreign country,we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective.Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better.
All things considered,I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,
Li Hua

Then,she told me something more I hadn’t known before.She was also a new student at that time.Because of language barriers,shyness and difficulties in study,she had to put up with great pressure.At that noon when I met her,getting the worst exam score in her class,she was laughed at by her classmates.She felt lonely and hopeless until I approached her warmly.From then on,we two often learned together and shared happiness and sorrow.
Both of us gained a lot from the incident.She said that it was my company and encouragement that not only made her happy,but also improved her confidence.For me,it was her sincerity that helped me adapt to a new life.I can’t help but smile every time because I am really grateful to know the girl grows up healthily.It shows that a simple kind act has the extraordinary ability to change one’s life.

The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16.He was biking on his farm in Patagonia,Arizona,a town near the U.S.-Mexico border.Heiss walked toward it,and found on the grassland was a broken balloon with its string attached to a piece of paper.
“Dayami,” it read on one side,in a child’s writing.It was a Christmas wish list,all in Spanish.He suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon,something he used to do himself when he was a kid.And he wondered whether he could find the child who had sent this one.
It would be difficult,but based on the prevailing wind,Heiss was pretty sure where it came from—just across the border,the city of Nogales,Mexico.Heiss then posted about his quest on Meta,attaching photos,hoping his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family.
A few days passed with no leads.Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas.On December 19,he sent a private Meta message to Radio XENY,a radio station based in Nogales.The next morning,Heiss awoke to a message from Radio XENY:They had located Dayami,an eight-year-old girl,and her family,who indeed lived in Nogales.“It just changed my entire day,” said Heiss.Having bought just about everything on Dayami’s list and a few other toys,as they had learned that Dayami had a younger sister.Heiss and his wife,at the Radio XENY,met the family.
“Their eves were wide open with wonder.” Heiss said of the two sisters’ reactions.“Like.‘Oh my gosh,this really did work!’”
Not wanting to disappoint the girls who still believed in Santa Claus,Heiss and his wife told them they were “Santa’s helpers”.
“It was a beautiful and healing experience for us...” Heiss said,“Since our only son died ten years ago,being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives.” Heiss said,“We now have friends for life.And,for a day,that border fence with its wire melted away.”
4.What did Heiss find when hiking on his farm
A.A Christmas wish list from a child.
B.A mass of grassland.
C.A letter addressed to him.
D.A beautiful red balloon.
5.What does the underlined word “leads” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Examples. B.Clues.
C.Suggestions. D.Plans.
6.Why did Heiss manage to find Dayami
A.He wanted to make up for his lost son.
B.He wanted to make friends with Dayami.
C.He wanted to realize his childhood dream.
D.He didn’t want to spoil Santa Claus for the girls.
7.What message does the text intend to convey

B.A bold attempt is half success.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Many teachers believe frequent quizzes(小测验) help students better grasp classroom material.Crede,an associate professor of psychology,was skeptical that something as simple as a quiz could positively affect students’ academic performance.He decided to dig deeper and conduct an analytic study of existing research to see if there was any proof to the idea.What he discovered truly surprised him.
Crede analyzed data from previously published studies that examined 52 classes with almost 8,000 students,primarily college-level courses,to determine if frequent quizzes improved the students’ academic performance.Laboratory settings were kept out of the study because Crede wanted to observe whether similar studies from labs would apply to general classrooms.
Crede discovered that when students are quizzed over class material at least once a week,they tend to perform better on midterm and final exams compared to students who did not take quizzes.He also found that students who took frequent quizzes were less likely to fail the class,especially if they were struggling with the course content.Students who struggle the most in a class seem to benefit the greatest from frequent quizzes.The other surprising thing was how much quizzes helped reduce failure rates in classes.The chances of passing a class went through the roof where instructors used this.In addition to quiz frequency,another factor that seemed to positively affect students’ performance was immediate feedback from instructors.Also,quizzes that required students to answer with written responses proved more beneficial to their understanding of class material compared to multiple-choice questions.
Asking teachers to grade written quizzes daily or weekly may discourage some from carrying them out in their classes.Instead,it is recommended that instructors give online quizzes that can be automatically graded by a course management system.Quiz attributes(属性) proved insignificant in the study,including whether the tests were pop quizzes or planned,or if they were online or on paper.
8.What did Crede do to ensure his study’s accuracy
A.He focused on what happened in classrooms.
B.He researched as many students as he could.
C.He made laboratory settings as real as possible.
D.He gave easy quizzes to make every student do well.
9.What did Crede discover in his study
A.Frequent quizzes could remove students’ failure in classes.
B.Instructors’ feedback was more important than frequent quizzes.
C.Frequent quizzes were especially useful to the struggling students.
D.Multiple-choice questions shouldn’t be included in frequent quizzes.
10.What may be a disadvantage of frequent quizzes for teachers
A.Accessing the Internet less frequently.
B.Having too many exam papers to mark.
C.Being unable to get appropriate test materials.
D.Finding it hard to choose the right type of quiz.
11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Quizzes Stimulate a Passion for Creation
B.Quizzes Improve Academic Performance
C.Quizzes Create a Heavy Burden
D.Quizzes Increase Boredom
D
In today’s difficult economic time,it’s natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad.Does the benefit outweigh the cost The answer,in fact,is yes,when you look at the road ahead.
When the economy becomes more challenged,competition for the workforce increases,and employers look for employees with the best credentials(资历).Having an overseas degree—from a university where strong English skills are required—can make all the difference.The added expertise of a foreign degree,along with more cultural experience,can make you more qualified for many jobs.
A 50-year study of 3,400 students shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to impact the participant’s life for years after the experience.
82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path.70% stated that it ignited(点燃) an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience.
And the effect on one’s career can be equally strong.A study by the Queensland,Australia government showed:
61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume.72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee.
Still,there’s the question of how to pay for studying overseas.But the cost doesn’t have to be as high as you think.Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs.And,there are plenty of ways to further offset(抵消)the cost — through financial tips,advice and grants(补助金).
12.What do we know about studying abroad from the second study
A.It helps one to get a job.
B.It affects one’s whole life.
C.It affects one’s career direction.
D.It helps one to make more money.
13.How does the author try to prove his idea
A.By giving examples.
B.By answering questions.
C.By listing facts and numbers.
D.By offering advice and solutions.
14.What does the author think about the university fees
A.Financial tips must increase the university fees.
B.Scholarships can cover some of the costs.
C.Money is a serious problem for studying abroad.
D.There are few ways for the students to earn money.
15.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage
A.Studying abroad is easy.
B.Studying abroad is rewarding.
C.The effects of studying abroad.
D.The problems with studying abroad.

Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 16 Classes are important,and so is disciplined practice.It can even be fun.Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English learner.
Study every day.Learning any new language is a time-consuming process,more than 300 hours according to some estimates.Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or twice a week,most experts say short,regular study sessions are more effective. 17
18 Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session,try mixing things up.Study a little grammar,then do a short listening exercise,then perhaps read an article on the same topic.Don’t do too much;20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty.The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.
Read,watch,and listen.Reading English-language newspapers and books,listening to music,or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 19
Write it down.Repetition is key as you’re learning English,so writing is a great way to practice. 20 By making a habit of writing,you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improved over time.You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A.Keep things fresh.
B.Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C.But with regular study,it can be done.
D.It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with doing so.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly,you’ll absorb things like speech patterns,accents,and grammar.

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。
I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school,so not only was this a new school for me,but also a new state and I did not know anyone.
On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal,I sat down at a table in the courtyard.As I began to eat,I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone,so I decided to go and sit with her.Anyway,there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself,and who knew maybe I could make a friend.I walked to check and said,“Excuse me,do you mind if I sit with you ” She was surprised at first,but then smiled and said,“No,I don’t!”
We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years.Towards the end of our senior year,she told me that she had been accepted to an out-of-state college and would be moving away after graduation.I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.
She then shared with me something very moving.“Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch ” she asked.“Of course!Why do you ask ” I replied.
She continued,“I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference.I was severely depressed that day,because something unhappy had happened to me that morning.I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness.It had just broken me down.If you hadn’t appeared,I would be probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school.”

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了成为一名更好的英语学习者的方法和技巧。
16.C 考查上下文衔接。根据空前面的“学像英语一样的一门新语言可能是一个挑战”和空后面的“课堂是重要的,有纪律的训练也是重要的”可推知,空处应该会讲到学一门语言其实也没那么难,故C项符合语境。

19.G 考查上下文衔接。本段首句讲到了“阅读、观看和聆听”,空前一句也是围绕这三个词展开的,因此空格处讲到的应该是这样做的好处,故G项“通过反复这样做,你将学会言语模式、口音和语法”符合语境。
20.D 考查上下文衔接。本段主旨句讲到了“写下来”,空前讲到了写作是练习的一个很好的方法,因此空处可能会讲到写作工具,故D项符合语境。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小女孩发现了两只饥饿的小鸟,一开始把它们养在笼子里,后来意识到鸟儿最需要的是自由,于是将小鸟放生。故事告诉我们:令爱常驻的方法是赠予对方一双翅膀。
21.D 由上下文语境及常识可知,装鸟的笼子一般都比较小,故选D项。wooden“木制的”;plastic“塑料的”。
22.A 根据下文“One bird flew from the cage.”这一句可知,一只鸟飞离了笼子,所以前文应表示“女孩使笼子的门开着”,故选A项。这里leave的意思是“使……处于某种状态”。
23.B 根据下文“As it flew close,she grasped it .”可知,小女孩非常害怕小鸟飞走,故选B项。frightened“害怕的”;annoyed“恼怒的”。
24.C 根据下文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可推知,由于小女孩野蛮地抓住小鸟,结果将小鸟捏死了,故选C项。wildly“野蛮地”;unexpectedly“出乎意料地”。
25.C 根据上文“she grasped it ”可知,小女孩抓住了小鸟,故选C项。hold“握着”;reach“够得着”;catch“抓住”;follow“跟随”。
26.D 此处句意为“她注意到另一只鸟儿在笼边来回移动”,故选D项。
27.A 根据下文“She could feel its great for freedom.”这一信息可知,小鸟想要自由,因而会在笼子边来回移动,试图飞出去,故选A项。on the edge of“在……的边上”。
28.B 由后一句“It needed to fly into the blue sky.”可知,鸟儿非常渴望回到天空中,故选B项。
29.A 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可知,由于她粗暴的行为导致小鸟的死亡,因而为了不让另一只小鸟再受到伤害,她轻轻地将小鸟抛向空中,故选A项。softly“轻轻地”。
30.B 根据上文“The bird circled once,twice,and three times.”可知,小鸟非常开心能够在天空中飞翔,故选B项。enjoyment“快乐”;entertainment“娱乐”。
31.D 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed the bird.”可知,失去小鸟对小女孩来说是一种损失,故选D项。opinion“选择”;relief“宽慰;放松”;pain“疼”;loss“损失”。
32.A 此处句意为“她不再关心她的损失,她希望鸟儿快乐”,故选A项。trapped“陷入困境的”。
33.A 此处句意是“突然,鸟儿飞得更近了,轻轻地落在她的肩膀上”,故选A项。land“降落”;drop“下落;掉下”。
34.B 由上文“she grasped it ”以及文章大意可知,小女孩失去第一只小鸟就是因为握得太紧,因而失去爱的最快方式就是紧紧抓住它,故选B项。hold onto“抓住”;hold up“举起;阻挡;拦截”;take up“占据;从事”;take in“吸收;欺骗;领会”。

36.in 考查介词。句意:在过去的十年里,到中国寻求高等教育的国际学生人数一直在增加。此处构成短语in search of “寻找”。故填in。
37.its 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语,修饰限定“academic and social environment”,所以用形容词性物主代词。its academic and social environment意为“它的学术和社会环境”。故填its。
38.was selected 考查动词的时态和语态。select意为“选择”,和主语Goh Qian Xuan之间是被动关系,根据第三段中的“The four (amaze) years I spent in Wuhan has helped to build a strong foundation for my life and career.”中的spent可知,Goh Qian Xuan现在已经离开武汉大学,故当选武汉大学新加坡学生联合会及汉语言文学学生会主席职务的事发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故填was selected。
39.which 考查定语从句。句意:来自新加坡的Goh Qian Xuan在武汉大学学习的四年时间里被选为武汉大学新加坡学生联合会和汉语言文学学生会的主席,这给了她与来自其他国家的学生密切协作的机会。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句的内容且在从句中作主语,应用which引导。故填which。
40.closely 考查副词。closely意为“密切地”,修饰动词work。故填closely。
41.to get 考查动词不定式。此处指“我”来武汉不仅仅是为了取得好成绩。根据句意可知,此处用不定式作目的状语。故填to get。
42.how 考查宾语从句。此处指成为当地学生社团的一分子,看到他们处理事情的方式真的帮助“我”更好地了解了中国人和中国。how意为“如何”,引导宾语从句。故填how。
43.less 考查副词比较级。句意:Goh说,在学生会只过了一年,她就感觉自己不那么像个外国学生了。less是little 的比较级,此处意为“较小程度地”。故填less。
44.amazing 考查形容词。amazing意为“令人惊奇的,令人惊喜的”,修饰years。故填amazing。
45.matters 考查名词复数。matter意为“事情”时是可数名词,空前无冠词,此处表示复数含义,指“中国人处理某些事情的方式”。故填matters。
第一节
Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion,which I hope will be of some help to you.Frankly,I hold the view that it is perfectly reasonable to study abroad.The reasons are as follows.
To begin with,exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes the learning process engaging and effective.Moreover,bathed in a different culture of a foreign country,we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective.Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better.
All things considered,I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Then,she told me something more I hadn’t known before.She was also a new student at that time.Because of language barriers,shyness and difficulties in study,she had to put up with great pressure.At that noon when I met her,getting the worst exam score in her class,she was laughed at by her classmates.She felt lonely and hopeless until I approached her warmly.From then on,we two often learned together and shared happiness and sorrow.
Both of us gained a lot from the incident.She said that it was my company and encouragement that not only made her happy,but also improved her confidence.For me,it was her sincerity that helped me adapt to a new life.I can’t help but smile every time because I am really grateful to know the girl grows up healthily.It shows that a simple kind act has the extraordinary ability to change one’s life.
