选择题部分
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In my dual (双重的) profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with many children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.
Tyler was born infected with HIV and his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.
When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein (静脉) in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his backpack full of medicine and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (货车). All of us who knew Tyler marveled (成就；奇迹) at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill, and unfortunately, so did his HIV infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler called me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

“Once there was the Stone Age, then the Bronze Age, and now we are in the middle of the Plastic Age，” said teenager Boyan Slat. “Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic. Much of it reaches our oceans.”
At the age of 16, Boyan Slat scuba dived off Greece in the Mediterranean Sea seeing more rubbish floating on and under the surface. He said, “At first, I thought I was swimming through strange jellyfish. Instead, I swam through more plastic bags than fish.” Seeing all the ocean trash, he asked himself，“Why not clean it up？”
Slat quit his Aerospace Engineering studies to create www. in order to fund his research on how to pick up all the plastic trash floating on the oceans of the world. Researchers discovered that 46,000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of the oceans, produced by billions of humans around the planet throwing their plastic into rivers, streams and directly into the oceans. What's worse, plastic does not break down.
Today, we find plastic in the tissue of about every creature in the oceans. Additionally, millions of tons of plastic gather in giant ocean going garbage patches (垃圾带). You may Google “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. It grows from 60 to 90 feet deep in places. It kills millions of sea birds, turtles, sharks, dolphins and whales.
Being a brilliant, innocent teenager, Boyan Slat decided to construct designs of some equipment that would collect millions of tons of plastic floating on our oceans. He created a solar powered trawler (拖网渔船) to pick up surface plastic, chew it up and store it in huge bins for collection. He also created floating booms (挡栅) that allow the oceans to sweep the plastic for efficient pick up. When you see the designs, they will blow your mind.
Boyan Slat stands at the head of his class in creating solutions for the folly of humans. If ever humans need leaders to stand up and be counted, we need more people like Boyan Slat to lead us out of damaging our planet home towards a biologically healthy future.
语篇解读：16岁的Boyan Slat设计出了专门用于收集海洋塑料垃圾的设备，为保护海洋生态系统作出了杰出的贡献。
4．Boyan Slat said we are in the Plastic Age because nowadays ________.
A．the use of plastic is all humans' big concern
B．there is too much plastic all over the world
C．plastic threatens many creatures in the oceans
D．plastic is the most important material in our daily life
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，Boyan Slat在说了我们处在塑料时代之后，紧接着说明我们每年制造大量塑料这一事实。由此可推知，他这样说是因为现在全世界有太多塑料。
5．Which of the following were Boyan Slat's efforts to fight against plastic rubbish on the oceans
a．He created floating booms.
b．He created a rubbish picking trawler.
c．He invented special huge bins for collection.
d．He started www. to raise funds.
A．a, b, d B．a, c, d
C．a, d, c D．b, c, d
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第五段第二、三句可知，他创造了用来捡拾海洋垃圾的太阳能拖网渔船以及漂浮水栅；根据第三段第一句可知，他为清理海洋垃圾筹资而创建了www. 这一网站。综上可知，应选A项。
6. Which of the following words can best describe Boyan Slat
A．Generous and hard working.
B．Careful and strong willed.
C．Cheerful and friendly.
D．Creative and practical.
解析：选D 推理判断题。综合全文可知，Boyan Slat 在发现问题后便开始着手解决问题，并将想法付诸实践，达到了预期效果。由此可推知，他是个很务实的人。根据第五段介绍的他的发明可知，他很有创造力。故选D项。
C
Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered (分散的) audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world.They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life.What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed (暴露) to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate (评价) all sides of a certain issue.
Third, the media are used to persuade people.A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth, the media also entertain.All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features (特征). Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。重点介绍了大众传播媒介在社会生活中所发挥的重要功能和作用。
7．This passage mainly tells us ________.
A．something about the functions of mass media
B．something about the development of mass media
C．how media entertain us
D．the types of mass media
解析：选A 主旨大意题。纵观全文，本文主要讲的是大众传媒的功能。
8．According to the passage, what are mass media
A．Tools for advertisements which persuade people to buy things.
B．Tools for entertainments which make daily life easy.
C．Tools for communication which record and pass information to people.
D．Tools for education which help improve people's knowledge.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由短文第一、二句可以得知：媒体是交流的工具，它们可以记录并把信息传递给更多的观众。
9．How many ways that mass media help make daily life easy are mentioned in this passage
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由短文中几个表示顺序的词“First, Second, Third, Fourth”可以轻松得出答案。
10．Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．From mass media, we know what is happening in the world.
B．Sometimes we arrange our time and life according to mass media.
C．Mass media's main purpose is to pass the information of advertising.
D．Mass media can make people feel easy.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由整篇文章可以看出，媒体的主要功能是帮助记录并传递信息，从而使人们的生活更加便捷和丰富多彩。如果说媒体的主要目的是传递广告信息就过于片面了。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We've all experienced peer pressure (同龄人压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. __11__
It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it __12__ If you think that missing math, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea, then the answer is simple: don't do it. It's your decision, not someone else's. You don't need to be aggressive. You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don't want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. __13__ You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble. You don't want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy.
__14__ You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your math homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don't forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn't about feeling depressed and guilty. __15__
A．Choose your friends carefully.
B．Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.
C．It's about sharing experiences and having fun.
D．Of course, peer pressure isn't completely bad.
E．It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.
F．Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G．Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don't want to.
语篇解读：我们大部分人都经历过同龄人的压力问题，对此不同的人有不同的反应。本文详细介绍了应该怎么正确应对同龄人压力。
11．选G 根据上文中的“It may be because ...”可知，上面列举了一些原因，G项中的“Whatever the reason”承接上文。故选G项。
12．选B 该空要回答上一句的问题，空后两句句意：如果你认为逃数学课或吸烟或去你父母不想让你去的地方是不好的，那么答案很简单：不要去那样做。这是你的决定，不是别人的。由此可以推出此处是说：你作决定时要坚信自己的看法。故选B项。
13．选A 设空格处前提到你可以找一个朋友和你做伴，后面提到你需要怎样的朋友，由此可以推出此处应是：要认真去选择你的朋友。故选A项。
14．选D 下文提到可以从同龄人那里学到很多，所以此处应是说同龄人压力的好处，故选D项。
15．选C 上文说：记住，友谊不是关于感觉沮丧和惭愧。那么此处应该解释友谊是关于什么的，故选C项(友谊是关于分享经历和玩得开心)。
Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Additional news is __16__ by motion (动作) pictures in theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are, __17__ people still only care for the events of their own household. Nearly four hundred years ago the English writer John Donne said, “No man is an island.” This __18__ is more appropriate (恰当的) today than it was __19__ Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man __20__ to some society, and we are becoming more and more aware (意识到) that __21__ happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life of mankind.
Newspapers have been published in the __22__ world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers __23__ today are read in Europe and North America. However, __24__ they may be read in all parts of the world, __25__ to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper __26__.
Electronics and automation (自动化) have made it __27__ to produce pictures and texts far more quickly than before. Photographic copying doesn't __28__ to use type and printing machines. And fewer specialists, __29__ typesetters, are needed to produce a paper or magazine by the __30__ method. Therefore, the publishing of newspapers and magazines can __31__ more money. Besides, photocopies can be sent over great __32__ now by means of television channels and satellites such as Telstar. Thus, __33__ can be brought to the public more quickly than before.
Machines that prepare printed texts for photocopies are being used a great deal today. Film, __34__ light and small, can be sent rapidly to other places and used to print copies of the text __35__ they are needed. Film pictures can also be projected easily on a movie or television screen.
16．A.taken B．shown
C．seen D．known
解析：选B 根据句意“另外的新闻由……展示”可知选B项。show“显示，展示”。take“拿，取”，see“看见”和know“知道”均不符合句意。
17．A.fewer B．higher
C．lower D．less
解析：选A 本句前后部分之间有转折之意，又因为该词修饰people，再由more people可知应选fewer。
18．A.study B．argument
C．knowledge D．idea
解析：选D study“学习，研究”； argument“论点，论据”；knowledge“知识”；idea“思想，观点，想法”。根据前后句意可知，D项最合适。
19．A.that B．while
C．when D．then
解析：选C 此句意为“这种观点在今天比在邓恩生活的时期更恰当”，表示“在……生活的时期”用when，不用while。
20．A.moves B．goes
C．belongs D．comes
解析：选C move to“搬到……，移到……”；go to“到……去……”；belong to“属于”；come to“共计，达到”。根据句意“……一个人属于某个社会……”可知，应选C项。
21．A.it B．whatever
C．something D．anything
解析：选B whatever“无论什么”，作that引导的宾语从句中主语从句的主语。宾语从句的谓语动词是affects，因此happens应是主语从句的谓语动词，而it, something和anything 均不能引导从句。
22．A.common B．modern
C．ordinary D．usual
解析：选B 根据上下文推知，报纸只发行了约400年，故应属于现代社会。common“常见的”；modern“现代的”；ordinary“平常的”；usual“通常的”。故选B项。
23．A.bought B．printed
C．found D．discovered
解析：选B buy“买”；print“印刷，印制”；find“找到”；discover “发现”。根据句意知应用过去分词printed作定语。

解析：选C thanks to“多亏，由于”。其他三个选项均为动词，不能构成状语，本句中不缺少谓语动词。
26．A.delivering B．making
C．selling D．publishing
解析：选D 本段在讲报纸的出版、发行，故选D项。deliver意为“投递”；make意为“制作”；sell意为“销售”。
27．A.clear B．possible
C．bright D．successful
解析：选B 在“make it＋adj. ＋to do”结构中，it 作形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语，make it possible to (do)“使(做)……成为可能”。clear“清楚的”，bright“明亮的”，successful“成功的”，均不符合句意。
28．A.want B．need
C．like D．hope
解析：选B 影印不需要使用打字机和印刷机，故选need。want 意为“想要”，like意为“喜欢”，hope意为“希望”，均不符合语境。
29．A.including B．besides
C．such as D．except
解析：选C 此处用来举例，故选such as(例如)。including“包括”；besides“除了……还有”；except“除了……之外”。
30．A.advanced B．easy
C．unusual D．suitable
解析：选A advanced“先进的”；easy“容易的”；unusual“不寻常的”；suitable“合适的”。由句意可知选A项。
31．A.make B．earn
C．save D．get
解析：选C 使用了先进的技术来出版报纸和杂志能够省更多的钱，故选C项。
32．A.places B．distances
C．cities D．villages
解析：选B great distances“很远的距离”，places，cities和villages均表示地点，不符合句意。
33．A.pictures B．books
C．letters D．words
解析：选A 从上文推知，通过电视频道和卫星传播的是画面、图片，不是书、信件和话语。
34．A.becoming B．feeling
C．turning D．being
解析：选D become“变得”，feel“觉得”，turn“变得”，均不符合文意，故选D项。现在分词短语being light and small作原因状语。
35．A.where B．there
C．which D．because of
解析：选A where在此引导地点状语从句，there，which和because of不能引导地点状语从句。
非选择题部分
Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
I've been a volunteer at Radio Lollipop since May. It is one of the best __36__ (experience) that I've had in the last few years.
Radio Lollipop is an international charity organization __37__ (found) in 1979 to provide care, comfort, games and entertainment for children in hospital. The service is provided __38__ (entire) by volunteers who have been specially selected and trained to make a child's stay in hospital more interesting and less __39__ (frighten)．
I help out regularly on Monday evenings after work at the Royal Hospital. My task is to deliver a smile to the children at the wards (病房) __40__ might be there for a few days or even a couple of months. __41__ is hard to find children on Monday, as the cinema at the hospital is open on that day. Most of them tend __42__ (be) there.
I am __43__ (thank) for this opportunity to help children at the hospital and make their stays more pleasant. The experience also __44__ (help) me deal with the difficulties and challenges that I've been faced with in my own life. I am now more positive in helping others and realize that everyone goes __45__ some pain and suffering from time to time.
36．experiences 根据语境“这是我过去几年最好的经历之一”可知本空应用名词复数。
37．founded 被修饰词“charity organization”与found之间为被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
38．entirely 修饰谓语“is provided”应用副词entirely。
39．frightening 空格处与and 前的interesting为并列成分，同为形容词作宾语补足语，故填frightening。
40．who/that 先行词为“the children”，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who/that。
41．It it作形式主语，代替真正的主语：动词不定式短语“to find children on Monday”。
42．to be tend to do sth.“倾向于做某事”，因此本空填动词不定式to be。
43．thankful be thankful for“因……而感激”。
44．helps 根据语境，本句应用一般现在时态，因主语为“The experience”，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。
45．through go through“经历；经受”。
Ⅴ.应用文写作(满分15分)

In a large hall, a professor gave us a talk on modern scientific farming. After that, we had a heated discussion with some specialists about eco agriculture to get a further understanding about green agriculture.
Through this visit, we learned what we can't learn in class. We all think social activities are meaningful and necessary to us.
Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The end of my sophomore year was approaching. Mom called_me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May. My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa on their farm. I wasn't quite satisfied with the arrangement but guessed it was just one summer. Next year would be my little brother's turn.
I arrived late that afternoon. Grandma had prepared more food than the three of us could possibly eat. However, the next morning, Grandpa prepared breakfast for the two of us. He told me Grandma tired_herself_out yesterday and was going to rest in bed. I made_up_my_mind to be of some help, not be a burden.
Weeks passed. I gradually get_accustomed_to the life there. In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma. She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in. She told me stories about her childhood, family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married.
The last Saturday in June, Grandpa suggested going_fishing. We hadn't expected what we saw when we got to the_pond that morning: One of the_swans was dead. Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary. “We can think of buying another one，” I suggested. Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.
He finally said, “No, it's not that easy. You see, swans mate for life. There's nothing we can do for the one that's left. He has to work it out for_himself.”
A few days later, we found the other swan lying near the same spot where we had found the first one. It, too, was dead.

Life at college was busy but the days spent with Grandma and Grandpa often appeared in my mind.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
On July 12, Grandma passed away, who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke. “Perhaps she had tired_herself_out and needed a permanent sleep，” Grandpa said. After her funeral, Grandpa said that he had made_up_his_mind to live there himself and that we should get back to our own lives. Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others, and we all worried about him. When we said goodbye, I found there was something different about Grandpa but couldn't quite make it out.
Paragraph 2:
Life at college was busy but the days spent with Grandma and Grandpa often appeared in my mind. How I wish to go_fishing again with Grandpa! But Mom called_me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died, which made me in deep sorrow. Grandpa also died of a stroke, the same as Grandma. At that moment, I understood what he'd clumsily tried to explain to me about the_swans on that morning we fished together by the_pond.

“Once there was the Stone Age, then the Bronze Age, and now we are in the middle of the Plastic Age，” said teenager Boyan Slat. “Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic. Much of it reaches our oceans.”
At the age of 16, Boyan Slat scuba dived off Greece in the Mediterranean Sea seeing more rubbish floating on and under the surface. He said, “At first, I thought I was swimming through strange jellyfish. Instead, I swam through more plastic bags than fish.” Seeing all the ocean trash, he asked himself，“Why not clean it up？”
Slat quit his Aerospace Engineering studies to create www. in order to fund his research on how to pick up all the plastic trash floating on the oceans of the world. Researchers discovered that 46,000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of the oceans, produced by billions of humans around the planet throwing their plastic into rivers, streams and directly into the oceans. What's worse, plastic does not break down.
Today, we find plastic in the tissue of about every creature in the oceans. Additionally, millions of tons of plastic gather in giant ocean going garbage patches (垃圾带). You may Google “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. It grows from 60 to 90 feet deep in places. It kills millions of sea birds, turtles, sharks, dolphins and whales.
Being a brilliant, innocent teenager, Boyan Slat decided to construct designs of some equipment that would collect millions of tons of plastic floating on our oceans. He created a solar powered trawler (拖网渔船) to pick up surface plastic, chew it up and store it in huge bins for collection. He also created floating booms (挡栅) that allow the oceans to sweep the plastic for efficient pick up. When you see the designs, they will blow your mind.
Boyan Slat stands at the head of his class in creating solutions for the folly of humans. If ever humans need leaders to stand up and be counted, we need more people like Boyan Slat to lead us out of damaging our planet home towards a biologically healthy future.

Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered (分散的) audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world.They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life.What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed (暴露) to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate (评价) all sides of a certain issue.
Third, the media are used to persuade people.A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth, the media also entertain.All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features (特征). Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We've all experienced peer pressure (同龄人压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. __11__
It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it __12__ If you think that missing math, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea, then the answer is simple: don't do it. It's your decision, not someone else's. You don't need to be aggressive. You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don't want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. __13__ You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble. You don't want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy.
__14__ You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your math homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don't forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn't about feeling depressed and guilty. __15__
A．Choose your friends carefully.
B．Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.
C．It's about sharing experiences and having fun.
D．Of course, peer pressure isn't completely bad.
E．It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.
F．Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G．Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don't want to.
语篇解读：我们大部分人都经历过同龄人的压力问题，对此不同的人有不同的反应。本文详细介绍了应该怎么正确应对同龄人压力。
11．选G 根据上文中的“It may be because ...”可知，上面列举了一些原因，G项中的“Whatever the reason”承接上文。故选G项。
12．选B 该空要回答上一句的问题，空后两句句意：如果你认为逃数学课或吸烟或去你父母不想让你去的地方是不好的，那么答案很简单：不要去那样做。这是你的决定，不是别人的。由此可以推出此处是说：你作决定时要坚信自己的看法。故选B项。
13．选A 设空格处前提到你可以找一个朋友和你做伴，后面提到你需要怎样的朋友，由此可以推出此处应是：要认真去选择你的朋友。故选A项。
14．选D 下文提到可以从同龄人那里学到很多，所以此处应是说同龄人压力的好处，故选D项。
15．选C 上文说：记住，友谊不是关于感觉沮丧和惭愧。那么此处应该解释友谊是关于什么的，故选C项(友谊是关于分享经历和玩得开心)。
Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

Machines that prepare printed texts for photocopies are being used a great deal today. Film, __34__ light and small, can be sent rapidly to other places and used to print copies of the text __35__ they are needed. Film pictures can also be projected easily on a movie or television screen.
16．A.taken B．shown
C．seen D．known
解析：选B 根据句意“另外的新闻由……展示”可知选B项。show“显示，展示”。take“拿，取”，see“看见”和know“知道”均不符合句意。
17．A.fewer B．higher
C．lower D．less
解析：选A 本句前后部分之间有转折之意，又因为该词修饰people，再由more people可知应选fewer。
18．A.study B．argument
C．knowledge D．idea
解析：选D study“学习，研究”； argument“论点，论据”；knowledge“知识”；idea“思想，观点，想法”。根据前后句意可知，D项最合适。

20．A.moves B．goes
C．belongs D．comes
解析：选C move to“搬到……，移到……”；go to“到……去……”；belong to“属于”；come to“共计，达到”。根据句意“……一个人属于某个社会……”可知，应选C项。
21．A.it B．whatever
C．something D．anything
解析：选B whatever“无论什么”，作that引导的宾语从句中主语从句的主语。宾语从句的谓语动词是affects，因此happens应是主语从句的谓语动词，而it, something和anything 均不能引导从句。
22．A.common B．modern
C．ordinary D．usual
解析：选B 根据上下文推知，报纸只发行了约400年，故应属于现代社会。common“常见的”；modern“现代的”；ordinary“平常的”；usual“通常的”。故选B项。

26．A.delivering B．making
C．selling D．publishing
解析：选D 本段在讲报纸的出版、发行，故选D项。deliver意为“投递”；make意为“制作”；sell意为“销售”。
27．A.clear B．possible
C．bright D．successful
解析：选B 在“make it＋adj. ＋to do”结构中，it 作形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语，make it possible to (do)“使(做)……成为可能”。clear“清楚的”，bright“明亮的”，successful“成功的”，均不符合句意。
28．A.want B．need
C．like D．hope
解析：选B 影印不需要使用打字机和印刷机，故选need。want 意为“想要”，like意为“喜欢”，hope意为“希望”，均不符合语境。
29．A.including B．besides
C．such as D．except
解析：选C 此处用来举例，故选such as(例如)。including“包括”；besides“除了……还有”；except“除了……之外”。
30．A.advanced B．easy

35．A.where B．there
C．which D．because of
解析：选A where在此引导地点状语从句，there，which和because of不能引导地点状语从句。
非选择题部分
Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
I've been a volunteer at Radio Lollipop since May. It is one of the best __36__ (experience) that I've had in the last few years.
Radio Lollipop is an international charity organization __37__ (found) in 1979 to provide care, comfort, games and entertainment for children in hospital. The service is provided __38__ (entire) by volunteers who have been specially selected and trained to make a child's stay in hospital more interesting and less __39__ (frighten)．
I help out regularly on Monday evenings after work at the Royal Hospital. My task is to deliver a smile to the children at the wards (病房) __40__ might be there for a few days or even a couple of months. __41__ is hard to find children on Monday, as the cinema at the hospital is open on that day. Most of them tend __42__ (be) there.
I am __43__ (thank) for this opportunity to help children at the hospital and make their stays more pleasant. The experience also __44__ (help) me deal with the difficulties and challenges that I've been faced with in my own life. I am now more positive in helping others and realize that everyone goes __45__ some pain and suffering from time to time.
36．experiences 根据语境“这是我过去几年最好的经历之一”可知本空应用名词复数。
37．founded 被修饰词“charity organization”与found之间为被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
38．entirely 修饰谓语“is provided”应用副词entirely。
39．frightening 空格处与and 前的interesting为并列成分，同为形容词作宾语补足语，故填frightening。
40．who/that 先行词为“the children”，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who/that。
41．It it作形式主语，代替真正的主语：动词不定式短语“to find children on Monday”。
42．to be tend to do sth.“倾向于做某事”，因此本空填动词不定式to be。
43．thankful be thankful for“因……而感激”。
44．helps 根据语境，本句应用一般现在时态，因主语为“The experience”，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。
45．through go through“经历；经受”。

In a large hall, a professor gave us a talk on modern scientific farming. After that, we had a heated discussion with some specialists about eco agriculture to get a further understanding about green agriculture.
Through this visit, we learned what we can't learn in class. We all think social activities are meaningful and necessary to us.
Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The end of my sophomore year was approaching. Mom called_me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May. My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa on their farm. I wasn't quite satisfied with the arrangement but guessed it was just one summer. Next year would be my little brother's turn.
I arrived late that afternoon. Grandma had prepared more food than the three of us could possibly eat. However, the next morning, Grandpa prepared breakfast for the two of us. He told me Grandma tired_herself_out yesterday and was going to rest in bed. I made_up_my_mind to be of some help, not be a burden.
Weeks passed. I gradually get_accustomed_to the life there. In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma. She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in. She told me stories about her childhood, family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married.
The last Saturday in June, Grandpa suggested going_fishing. We hadn't expected what we saw when we got to the_pond that morning: One of the_swans was dead. Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary. “We can think of buying another one，” I suggested. Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.
He finally said, “No, it's not that easy. You see, swans mate for life. There's nothing we can do for the one that's left. He has to work it out for_himself.”
A few days later, we found the other swan lying near the same spot where we had found the first one. It, too, was dead.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
On July 12, Grandma passed away, who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke. “Perhaps she had tired_herself_out and needed a permanent sleep，” Grandpa said. After her funeral, Grandpa said that he had made_up_his_mind to live there himself and that we should get back to our own lives. Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others, and we all worried about him. When we said goodbye, I found there was something different about Grandpa but couldn't quite make it out.
Paragraph 2:
Life at college was busy but the days spent with Grandma and Grandpa often appeared in my mind. How I wish to go_fishing again with Grandpa! But Mom called_me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died, which made me in deep sorrow. Grandpa also died of a stroke, the same as Grandma. At that moment, I understood what he'd clumsily tried to explain to me about the_swans on that morning we fished together by the_pond.
