The top of the mountain seemed _10_ one step further away and my classmates were still _11_ halfway down the mountain. So I found a big stone to sit on and looked around. I was so proud.
Time was _12_ eating up all my power. I didn't want to get up and start off again _13_my classmates passed me quickly， and I had no _14_ to climb on and sat down to give up.

VI. 阅读理解。（30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项或回答所提问题。
A
Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？ I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”. It's okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I'm not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. I'm talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don't want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don't want to do. If you're like I once was， you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you're saying to yourself， if you really wanted to go， you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.
So， why not just say “no” from the beginning？ Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting （by the way， it is not one you must attend）， your boss isn't going to like you or your co-workers won't respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom， dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them what they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends， family members， or a good boss， they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to， and if you're someone who always says “yes”， then that's what they're expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill， but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
1. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？
A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B. We should help others in need.
C. Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.
D. Always saying “no” means you are brave.
2. Generally speaking， we agree to do what we hate to do because we have ____.
A. a bad habit B. a kind heart C. much concern D. obligations
3. The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members， you'll ____.
A. have the same relationship with them as before
B. have a loose relationship with them
C. disappoint them D. upset them
4. What would be the best title for the text？
A. Learn to Make a Right Choice B. To Be Yourself
C. Do What You Want to Do D. Learn to Say “No”
B
In the 1950s， a family who owned a farm near Beulah， Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm （榆樹）. The bull paced around the tree， dragging the heavy iron chain， which led to a groove （槽） in the bark. The groove deepened over the years， though for whatever reason， it did not kill the tree.
After some years， the family took their bull away. They cut the chain， leaving the loop （圈） around the tree and one link hanging down.
Then one year， agricultural disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch Elm Disease. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died. Everyone thought that the old elm would be next.
The farm's owners considered doing the safe thing： pulling it out and cutting it up into firewood before it died. But they simply could not bring themselves to do it. It was as if the old tree had become a family friend. So they decided to let nature take its course.
Amazingly， the tree did not die. Nobody could understand why it was the only elm that was still standing in the country！
Plant pathologists （病理学家） from Michigan State University came out to observe the tree. They observed the scar left by the iron chain， now almost completely covered by bark. The plant experts decided that it was the chain that saved the elm's life. They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune （免疫） to the fungus （真菌）.
It's said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Or， as Ernest Hemingway put it， “Life breaks us all， but afterwards， many of us are strongest at the broken places.”
5. What happened to the elms in Michigan during the agricultural disaster？
A. The elms were tied by iron chains.
B. Some of the elms were cut up into firewood.
C. All the elms were infected by a disease and died.
D. Nearly all of the elms died of a disease.
6. From the passage we can learn that the old elm was saved by ____.
A. the groove in the bark B. the fungus in the tree
C. the iron remaining in it D. its own immune system
7. The underlined sentence “let nature take its course” means ____.
A. leave the elm at the mercy of nature B. help the elm grow normally
C. let nature take the elm away D. have nature give a lesson to the elm
8. What is the best title for the text？
A. Never Lose Heart in Trouble B. Strike While the Iron is Hot
C. Brave to Face Failure D. Stronger After Suffering
C
Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede （踩踏事件） at “Love Parade 2010”， a music festival in Germany， which killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday's tragedy in the western city of Duisburg. “This was a very sad day，” Merkel said. “We must do everything we can to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel， the only entrance to the Love Parade festival， from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners， from Australia， Italy， the Netherlands， China， Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured.
After the panic， a lot of emergency vehicles， including helicopters， could be seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site， carrying away the injured people. The festival itself， however， went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
“The event was a real mess，” Patrick Guenter， a 22-year-old baker， said. “Although the festival was full， they kept letting people in，” he added. “It seems the organizers didn't plan the route. The road was very narrow， and no one knew what was going on.” said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy， 20， an American from Philadelphia.
Officials said 4，000 police officers and 1，000 security guards provided security for the event， which attracted up to 1.4 million people. The authorities had only given organizers permission for 250，000 people to attend.
“I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is a pity that...” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild daily.
The chief organizer， Rainer Schaller， said the popular event would never be held again， “out of respect for the victims and their families”.
First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall， the Love Parade is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.
9. How did the German Chancellor Angela Merkel feel about the tragedy？
A. She was very disappointed. B. She was angry and surprised.
C. She was very puzzled. D. She was touched.
10. According to Patrick Guenter and Taggart Bowen-Gaddy， ____.
A. the event was well-organized B. the performance was wonderful
C. Duisburg was suitable for the Love Parade D. the organization was very bad
11. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Rainer Wendt's warning went unnoticed.
B. Rainer Wendt was a chief organizer of Love Parade 2010.
C. Rainer Wendt is a music lover.
D. Duisburg is a famous holiday destination.
12. What can we learn from the passage？
A. The Love Parade has been canceled forever.
B. The Love Parade is a very popular sport event.
C. The festival was ended shortly after the panic.
D. The Love Parade has a history of over 30 years.
D
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford， England， on January 8， 1942. At the age of 17， he entered University College， Oxford. He wanted to study mathematics， but took up the study of physics when math was unavailable. He received a Ph.D. in physics despite being diagnosed （诊断） with Ameliotrophic Lateral Sclerosis （肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症） while at Oxford in 1963. In 1985 he became ill with pneumonia （肺炎）， and since then has required 24-hour nursing. Dr. Hawking's determination， along with the help of his family and associates， has allowed him to continue to work. In 1970 he began studying black holes. His research led him to predict that black holes send out radiation in the X-ray to gamma-ray （伽馬射线） range of the spectrum （光谱）. In the 1980s he returned to an earlier interest， the origins of the universe. He has co-authored many publications， such as 300 Years of Gravity and The Large Scale Structure of Space Time. Dr. Hawking has also written books such as A Brief History of Time， Black Holes and Baby Universes and other Essays， The Universe in a Nutshell and others. He continues to give lectures， despite having been unable to speak since 1985， with the aid of a speech synthesizer （合成器） and a portable computer. He currently holds Isaac Newton's chair as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University in England.

As space science develops， man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space， spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
Scientists have found out that the radiation is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space， they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars， which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites， 10% are spaceships， and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion （爆炸） in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments， each at least 4mm in size.

VI. A篇 1. B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为我们应该帮助需要帮助的人，故B项正确。
2. C。推理判断题。结合第三段第二句中的“you think about it too much”以及本段后半部分的内容可推知，我们之所以同意做我们讨厌做的事情是因为我们有很多顾虑。
3. A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为如果你对你的家人说“不”，他们与你之间的关系仍然会和以前一样。
4. D。主旨大意题。文章第一段就开门见山地点明了本文的中心话题，即要学会说“不”，所以D项作为本文的标题最合适。
B篇 5. D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died.”可知，在这次农业灾难中，几乎所有的榆树都因为感染了荷兰榆树菌而死掉了。
6. C。细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二、三、四句话“They observed the scar left by the iron chain... it was the chain that saved the elm's life... must have absorbed so much iron from the chain...”可知，这棵老榆树是吸收了铁链中的铁（iron），增强了它对病菌的免疫力。
7. A。句意理解题。根据文章第四段可知，农场的主人曾想过要在这棵榆树死之前将其砍掉当柴火。但由于这么多年来这棵老榆树已经成为了他们的朋友，所以他们不忍心下手，并决定让这棵榆树顺其自然。因此，此处的let nature take its course意为“听天由命;任由大自然的摆布”，即leave the elm at the mercy of nature。
8. D。标题概括题。文章最后一段是全文的中心段，“what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.”和“Life breaks us all， but afterwards， many of us are strongest at the broken places.”是全文的升华，故答案选D。
C篇 9. B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday's tragedy in the western city of Duisburg”可知德国总理Angela Merkel对这起踩踏事件感到震惊。
10. D。推理判断题。根据第五段的第一句“The event was a real mess”和第三句“It seems the organizers didn't plan the route”等内容可知，他们认为这次音乐节组织得很混乱。
11. A。推理判断题。根据第七段的第三句“It is a pity that...”可以判断，Rainer Wendt的警告并没有得到音乐节组织者的重视。
12. D。细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，Love Parade已有30多年的历史了。
D篇 13. To study mathematics.
14. In 1963.

VI. 阅读理解。（30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项或回答所提问题。
A
Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？ I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”. It's okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I'm not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. I'm talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don't want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don't want to do. If you're like I once was， you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you're saying to yourself， if you really wanted to go， you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.
So， why not just say “no” from the beginning？ Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting （by the way， it is not one you must attend）， your boss isn't going to like you or your co-workers won't respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom， dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them what they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends， family members， or a good boss， they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to， and if you're someone who always says “yes”， then that's what they're expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill， but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
1. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？
A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B. We should help others in need.
C. Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.
D. Always saying “no” means you are brave.
2. Generally speaking， we agree to do what we hate to do because we have ____.
A. a bad habit B. a kind heart C. much concern D. obligations
3. The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members， you'll ____.
A. have the same relationship with them as before
B. have a loose relationship with them
C. disappoint them D. upset them
4. What would be the best title for the text？
A. Learn to Make a Right Choice B. To Be Yourself
C. Do What You Want to Do D. Learn to Say “No”
B
In the 1950s， a family who owned a farm near Beulah， Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm （榆樹）. The bull paced around the tree， dragging the heavy iron chain， which led to a groove （槽） in the bark. The groove deepened over the years， though for whatever reason， it did not kill the tree.
After some years， the family took their bull away. They cut the chain， leaving the loop （圈） around the tree and one link hanging down.
Then one year， agricultural disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch Elm Disease. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died. Everyone thought that the old elm would be next.
The farm's owners considered doing the safe thing： pulling it out and cutting it up into firewood before it died. But they simply could not bring themselves to do it. It was as if the old tree had become a family friend. So they decided to let nature take its course.
Amazingly， the tree did not die. Nobody could understand why it was the only elm that was still standing in the country！
Plant pathologists （病理学家） from Michigan State University came out to observe the tree. They observed the scar left by the iron chain， now almost completely covered by bark. The plant experts decided that it was the chain that saved the elm's life. They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune （免疫） to the fungus （真菌）.
It's said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Or， as Ernest Hemingway put it， “Life breaks us all， but afterwards， many of us are strongest at the broken places.”
5. What happened to the elms in Michigan during the agricultural disaster？
A. The elms were tied by iron chains.
B. Some of the elms were cut up into firewood.
C. All the elms were infected by a disease and died.
D. Nearly all of the elms died of a disease.
6. From the passage we can learn that the old elm was saved by ____.
A. the groove in the bark B. the fungus in the tree
C. the iron remaining in it D. its own immune system
7. The underlined sentence “let nature take its course” means ____.
A. leave the elm at the mercy of nature B. help the elm grow normally
C. let nature take the elm away D. have nature give a lesson to the elm
8. What is the best title for the text？
A. Never Lose Heart in Trouble B. Strike While the Iron is Hot
C. Brave to Face Failure D. Stronger After Suffering
C
Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede （踩踏事件） at “Love Parade 2010”， a music festival in Germany， which killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday's tragedy in the western city of Duisburg. “This was a very sad day，” Merkel said. “We must do everything we can to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel， the only entrance to the Love Parade festival， from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners， from Australia， Italy， the Netherlands， China， Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured.
After the panic， a lot of emergency vehicles， including helicopters， could be seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site， carrying away the injured people. The festival itself， however， went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
“The event was a real mess，” Patrick Guenter， a 22-year-old baker， said. “Although the festival was full， they kept letting people in，” he added. “It seems the organizers didn't plan the route. The road was very narrow， and no one knew what was going on.” said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy， 20， an American from Philadelphia.
Officials said 4，000 police officers and 1，000 security guards provided security for the event， which attracted up to 1.4 million people. The authorities had only given organizers permission for 250，000 people to attend.
“I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is a pity that...” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild daily.
The chief organizer， Rainer Schaller， said the popular event would never be held again， “out of respect for the victims and their families”.
First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall， the Love Parade is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.
9. How did the German Chancellor Angela Merkel feel about the tragedy？
A. She was very disappointed. B. She was angry and surprised.
C. She was very puzzled. D. She was touched.
10. According to Patrick Guenter and Taggart Bowen-Gaddy， ____.
A. the event was well-organized B. the performance was wonderful
C. Duisburg was suitable for the Love Parade D. the organization was very bad
11. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Rainer Wendt's warning went unnoticed.
B. Rainer Wendt was a chief organizer of Love Parade 2010.
C. Rainer Wendt is a music lover.
D. Duisburg is a famous holiday destination.
12. What can we learn from the passage？
A. The Love Parade has been canceled forever.
B. The Love Parade is a very popular sport event.
C. The festival was ended shortly after the panic.
D. The Love Parade has a history of over 30 years.
D
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford， England， on January 8， 1942. At the age of 17， he entered University College， Oxford. He wanted to study mathematics， but took up the study of physics when math was unavailable. He received a Ph.D. in physics despite being diagnosed （诊断） with Ameliotrophic Lateral Sclerosis （肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症） while at Oxford in 1963. In 1985 he became ill with pneumonia （肺炎）， and since then has required 24-hour nursing. Dr. Hawking's determination， along with the help of his family and associates， has allowed him to continue to work. In 1970 he began studying black holes. His research led him to predict that black holes send out radiation in the X-ray to gamma-ray （伽馬射线） range of the spectrum （光谱）. In the 1980s he returned to an earlier interest， the origins of the universe. He has co-authored many publications， such as 300 Years of Gravity and The Large Scale Structure of Space Time. Dr. Hawking has also written books such as A Brief History of Time， Black Holes and Baby Universes and other Essays， The Universe in a Nutshell and others. He continues to give lectures， despite having been unable to speak since 1985， with the aid of a speech synthesizer （合成器） and a portable computer. He currently holds Isaac Newton's chair as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University in England.

As space science develops， man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space， spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
Scientists have found out that the radiation is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space， they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars， which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites， 10% are spaceships， and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion （爆炸） in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments， each at least 4mm in size.

VI. A篇 1. B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为我们应该帮助需要帮助的人，故B项正确。
2. C。推理判断题。结合第三段第二句中的“you think about it too much”以及本段后半部分的内容可推知，我们之所以同意做我们讨厌做的事情是因为我们有很多顾虑。
3. A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为如果你对你的家人说“不”，他们与你之间的关系仍然会和以前一样。

B篇 5. D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died.”可知，在这次农业灾难中，几乎所有的榆树都因为感染了荷兰榆树菌而死掉了。
6. C。细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二、三、四句话“They observed the scar left by the iron chain... it was the chain that saved the elm's life... must have absorbed so much iron from the chain...”可知，这棵老榆树是吸收了铁链中的铁（iron），增强了它对病菌的免疫力。
