A
This time last year I entered two long distance mass participation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last.
Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldn't deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last in both. I just couldn't face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.
For a few months, I trained hard, but I didn't get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9：30 a．m., and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone. Meadows (草地) rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.
As the day wore on, somehow I didn't mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.
In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after I'd started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走) out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didn't matter. I_was_just_relieved,_proud_and_happy_to_finish.
As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding (渐渐远去)．
1．The author intended to quit swimming mainly because ______.
A．she feared that she couldn't finish the two races
B．she was afraid that she would let family members down
C．she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing last
D．she wasn't fully prepared for the two races

B．She was proud that she was not the last one in the race.
C．She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of relief.
D．She was proud to be praised by the organizer.
3．It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to ________.

B
First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life. In many emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make a difference.
First aid measures depend upon the victim's needs and the provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪)．
Despite the variety of injuries, several principles of first aid can apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking people around or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and pre existing conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known as the acronym (首字母缩略词) ABC, which stands for：
A—Airway: Is it open and clear
B—Breathing: Is the person breathing Look, listen and feel for breathing.
C—Circulation: Is there a pulse Is the person bleeding externally Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
4.First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT ________.
A．saving a victim's life
B．preventing a victim's condition from getting worse
C．relieving a victim from pain
D．helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury
5．Before we offer first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ________.
A．make sure what to do and what not to do
B．refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C．remove the medical card he/she may take
D．take him/her to a hospital at once
6．You may assess a victim's condition by all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．checking whether there is a pulse
B．looking, listening and feeling for breathing
C．measuring his/her blood pressure
D．examining whether the airway is open and clear
C
Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture and preserve it — which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.
Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we'll get around to them one day.
The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin's eyes, there's just one thing we should do — attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.
Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”
Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”
7．According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to ________.
A．find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures
B．find a good way to keep things in their minds
C．forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot
D．have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology
8．According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful
A．To speak it out openly.
B．To paint it immediately.
C．To purchase it directly.
D．To photograph it instantly.
9．From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ________.
A．creative and thoughtful
B．active and adventurous
C．considerate and determined
D．sensitive and ambitious
10．The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．appreciated B．favored
C．criticized D．ignored

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
As most children return to school, many rich families are choosing to pull their children out of the mainstream education system altogether in favor of having a tutor at home. “Around 50 percent of the inquiries we're getting at the moment are for long term, daily home tutoring，” Steve Spriggs, managing director of London based private tutoring service. And, he adds, the trend has grown from families asking for personal tutors to copy the classroom environment in their own homes. “Many families that were making the inquiries for full time home tutors，” Spriggs said, “were either travelling so frequently that sending their children to one school was impractical and others did not want their children to go into boarding school.”
Home tutoring is nothing new, and many tuition firms also offer extra tutoring services to families wanting their children to have a little extra help learning ahead of entrance exams at competitive private schools in the U．K., such as Harrow, St. Pauls or Eton.
“We always make it clear to parents that we will only offer full time home schooling for a year though，” Spriggs explained. “Any more than a year and children start to lose out on what a school environment can give them, such as social skills and that vital interaction they need — although we try to reduce that anyway in our home tutoring with sports clubs of museum trips as part of the teaching program.”
Spriggs said that the costs of hiring a full time tutor would be more that the fees of a top boarding school, which usually charge around $54,400 a year. Some families employ two full time tutors, one to cover humanities (人文学科) and the other to cover science and maths. Devising an educational plan for youngsters in these situations is not a quick process, however, Spriggs said, with a tutor being matched to the child to ensure they are compatible (兼容的)．

First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life. In many emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make a difference.
First aid measures depend upon the victim's needs and the provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪)．
Despite the variety of injuries, several principles of first aid can apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking people around or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and pre existing conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known as the acronym (首字母缩略词) ABC, which stands for：
A—Airway: Is it open and clear
B—Breathing: Is the person breathing Look, listen and feel for breathing.
C—Circulation: Is there a pulse Is the person bleeding externally Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
4.First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT ________.
A．saving a victim's life
B．preventing a victim's condition from getting worse
C．relieving a victim from pain
D．helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It may save ... provide relief from pain.”可知A、B、C三项的内容均为急救的作用。再根据对急救的描述可知，急救不能避免突发的疾病或伤害。
5．Before we offer first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ________.
A．make sure what to do and what not to do
B．refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C．remove the medical card he/she may take
D．take him/her to a hospital at once
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Knowing what not to do ... knowing what to do.”可知A项正确。
6．You may assess a victim's condition by all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．checking whether there is a pulse
B．looking, listening and feeling for breathing
C．measuring his/her blood pressure
D．examining whether the airway is open and clear
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知A、B、D三项均表述正确，而C项没有提及，故应选C。
C
Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture and preserve it — which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.
Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we'll get around to them one day.
The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin's eyes, there's just one thing we should do — attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.
Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”
Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”
语篇解读：无可厚非，手机给我们的生活带来了很多便利，所以每当人们想要捕捉并保存看到的美景时，都会拿起手机去拍照，但是英国的拉斯金指出，画画才是看到美景时我们应该做的。
7．According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to ________.
A．find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures
B．find a good way to keep things in their minds
C．forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot
D．have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures ... take a photograph in the first place.”可知，人们看到吸引人的东西时只忙着拍照，却忘记了在现场去欣赏它们。故选C项。
8．According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful
A．To speak it out openly.
B．To paint it immediately.
C．To purchase it directly.
D．To photograph it instantly.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，在拉斯金看来，看到有趣的东西我们应该做的事情只有一件：不管我们是否有画画的天赋，都要试着把它画下来。故选B项。
9．From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ________.
A．creative and thoughtful
B．active and adventurous
C．considerate and determined
D．sensitive and ambitious
解析：选A 推理判断题。本段陈述了拉斯金对把美景画下来的看法：画画教给我们正确地去观看而不是心不在焉地盯着看。在用我们自己的手去再创造我们眼前的东西的过程中，我们就会自然地从懒散观看转换到更深层地理解美景。由此可知，拉斯金鼓励我们要多去思考，要有创造性。故选A项。
10．The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．appreciated B．favored
C．criticized D．ignored
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“blindness and hurry”及拉斯金所说的话可知，拉斯金不赞成现代游客的盲目和匆忙。故选C项。
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。

Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world.

E．It will help you fall asleep — and start the morning right.
F．Here are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.
G．Usually these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.
语篇解读：青春期的成长意味着变化，变化会带来成长，也会带来困惑。本文就如何顺利地度过青春期给了几点建议。
11．选B 根据设空前一句“It can be confusing and even scary.”和设空后一句“And it's good.”可知，设空处前后句意存在转折。所以，B项(但事实是，每个青少年都会如此)符合语境。故选B项。
12．选D 根据设空前一句“Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling.”可知，青春期荷尔蒙的水平在持续地上下变化，再结合上文“hormones that help both body and mind grow”可知，这种变化对于青少年的身体发育是必要的。故选D项，其中的changing照应上句话中的change。
13．选F 设空处起到承上启下的作用，上文介绍了成长过程就像情绪过山车，下文提出了几点建议，因此，设空处用于引出建议。故F项符合语境，其中the ride与上文的roller coaster呼应。
14．选A 根据下一句的“some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer”可知，当你心情不好时就要休息一下。故选A项。
15．选E 上一句中的“go to bed”与E项中的“It will help you fall asleep”相呼应，故E项符合语境。

In fact, that law, if __36__ (obey), will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law, we shall get into __37__ (end) trouble.

语篇解读：作者通过举例说明了这样一个道理：我们要想交到很多朋友并快乐地生活，就要遵循这样的一个原则——让别人觉得他自己很重要。
36．obeyed 考查非谓语动词。这里是if引导的省略句。obey和that law之间是被动关系，故用过去分词obeyed。
37．endless 考查形容词。但是一旦我们打破了这个规则，我们就会陷入无尽的麻烦。trouble是名词，前面应用形容词修饰，故此处用形容词endless。
38．said 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语once可知此处用一般过去时，故填said。
39．the 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知，这里修饰形容词的最高级deepest用定冠词the。
40．to be appreciated 考查非谓语动词。空处作the desire的后置定语，用动词不定式形式，appreciate与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系，故用动词不定式的被动形式。
41．that 考查特殊句式。分析句子结构可知，本句是一个强调句且被强调部分为desires and urges，指物，故填that。
42．discovering 考查非谓语动词。before为介词，后面接名词或者动名词，故填discovering。
43．whom 考查定语从句。先行词是those，关系词在后面的从句中充当in contact with的宾语，且with提前，故用关系代词whom。
44．feeling 考查名词。分析空处所在的句子结构可知，此处作have的宾语，并表示“一种感觉”，故填feeling。
45．honestly 考查副词。分析空处所在的句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰动词recognize，故填honestly。

If he or she is bleeding, we should try to stop the bleeding by using proper methods. Do remember: when giving first aid, please place the person in a recovery position.
Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
As most children return to school, many rich families are choosing to pull their children out of the mainstream education system altogether in favor of having a tutor at home. “Around 50 percent of the inquiries we're getting at the moment are for long term, daily home tutoring，” Steve Spriggs, managing director of London based private tutoring service. And, he adds, the trend has grown from families asking for personal tutors to copy the classroom environment in their own homes. “Many families that were making the inquiries for full time home tutors，” Spriggs said, “were either travelling so frequently that sending their children to one school was impractical and others did not want their children to go into boarding school.”
Home tutoring is nothing new, and many tuition firms also offer extra tutoring services to families wanting their children to have a little extra help learning ahead of entrance exams at competitive private schools in the U．K., such as Harrow, St. Pauls or Eton.
“We always make it clear to parents that we will only offer full time home schooling for a year though，” Spriggs explained. “Any more than a year and children start to lose out on what a school environment can give them, such as social skills and that vital interaction they need — although we try to reduce that anyway in our home tutoring with sports clubs of museum trips as part of the teaching program.”
Spriggs said that the costs of hiring a full time tutor would be more that the fees of a top boarding school, which usually charge around $54,400 a year. Some families employ two full time tutors, one to cover humanities (人文学科) and the other to cover science and maths. Devising an educational plan for youngsters in these situations is not a quick process, however, Spriggs said, with a tutor being matched to the child to ensure they are compatible (兼容的)．
