In May 1944, when Ralph was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillian's surprise when she opened her letter and found Gloria's included.
“Dear Gloria，” it began. “It's about time I introduced myself. We haven't met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say I've fallen in love.”
“This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing about me except what other people have told you. Don't take them too seriously. I'm really not a bad fellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live.”
“I hope this makes the proper impression and you won't think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please keep my love for you locked in your heart, to be opened only when I call for it in person.”
Gloria, now in her mid 40s, mailed me the letter, along with the one Ralph wrote in May 1944 to Lillian. Gloria was three months old when Ralph, her father, mailed them both.

The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial (帝王的) palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 15th century, large size construction caused 100,000 common people to hard life. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. In the following year, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum. Since then, the Palace has been opened to the public.
The Palace Museum is rectangular (长方形的) in shape, about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east. There is a 10 meter high wall, encircled by a 52 meter wide moat (护城河). In the Ming Dynasty, the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Province, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was cut from the northeast of China. Most of the stones were mined from the suburban (郊外的) district of Fangshan and other districts. Construction of the Forbidden City brought huge hardship to the laboring people.
The palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture (建筑) still standing. Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The palace has been expanded several times, but the original design was preserved. After liberation, some costly renovations (翻新) were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.

Dear teachers and classmates，
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。
If there's one thing I can't stand people saying, it's, “I'm no good at anything ... I don't have any_talent.” I just don't buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn't believe that what changed my mind was a seemingly (看似) small event that took place in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student. I was a funny looking skinny boy named Eugene_Orowitz,_who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn't found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school's running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it！Try it！” I had to wait my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw — the_best_throw going about 30_yards — I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, you want to try？” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then，” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling — a new found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I'd never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let_the_thing_go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
I watched as the spear took off.My heart quickened.
Paragraph 2：
That night I took the javelin home with me.

In May 1944, when Ralph was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillian's surprise when she opened her letter and found Gloria's included.
“Dear Gloria，” it began. “It's about time I introduced myself. We haven't met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say I've fallen in love.”
“This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing about me except what other people have told you. Don't take them too seriously. I'm really not a bad fellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live.”
“I hope this makes the proper impression and you won't think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please keep my love for you locked in your heart, to be opened only when I call for it in person.”
Gloria, now in her mid 40s, mailed me the letter, along with the one Ralph wrote in May 1944 to Lillian. Gloria was three months old when Ralph, her father, mailed them both. He'd been on a warship for ten months and had never seen her. He's now 80 and still happily married to Lillian, Gloria's mother.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了拉尔夫以诙谐幽默的方式用一个信封给妻子和女儿同时写信的故事。因信的内容爱意满满，一开始却让读者浮想联翩。

6．What will be the best title for the passage

解析：选D 标题归纳题。由上文可知这两封信不是不小心放在同一个信封里的，排除B。而C选项则只在最后提到，以偏概全。A项有些扭曲文章的意思，指他真的喜欢上了另一个女人。通篇都在提两封信的事。故选D。

The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial (帝王的) palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 15th century, large size construction caused 100,000 common people to hard life. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. In the following year, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum. Since then, the Palace has been opened to the public.
The Palace Museum is rectangular (长方形的) in shape, about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east. There is a 10 meter high wall, encircled by a 52 meter wide moat (护城河). In the Ming Dynasty, the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Province, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was cut from the northeast of China. Most of the stones were mined from the suburban (郊外的) district of Fangshan and other districts. Construction of the Forbidden City brought huge hardship to the laboring people.
The palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture (建筑) still standing. Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The palace has been expanded several times, but the original design was preserved. After liberation, some costly renovations (翻新) were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.

语篇解读：本文是一封回信，回答了来信中提出的问题，并对有兴趣从事新闻工作的人提出了建议。
16．A.this B．no
C．every D．each
解析：选B 通读全文可知作者谈到新闻工作的重要性及如何成为一名出色的新闻工作者，由下文中的than可知，这是一个比较句，no ... than意为“没有……比……(更)”。在作者看来，对喜欢写作的年轻人来说，没有哪一个职业比从事新闻业回报更高。
17．A.awards B．rewards
C．returns D．advantage
解析：选B 由下面的“Of course I'm not speaking of ________ rewards”中的rewards及语境可知B更符合文意。
18．A.an interest B．excitement
C．curiosity D．a love
解析：选A 由后面的in writing提示，应选用与之搭配的词an interest，意思是“对写作有兴趣的年轻人”；C项curiosity常与about 搭配使用，因此应排除。
19．A.spiritual B．individual
C．collective D．material
解析：选D 由下句的“Anyone who wants to get rich should choose some other ________.”以及“But journalism pays a living wage”判断，作者谈论的不是物质回报，而是精神上的、心理上的回报。
20．A.position B．school
C．occupation D．business
解析：选C 根据前后文中出现的“newspaper work”， “newspaper reporter”等信息词以及本句语境可知，此处所指为“职业”，故应填 occupation。答案选C。
21．A.face B．perform
C．carry D．take
解析：选B perform one's duty“做自己的工作”。为固定搭配。carry 和take要表示“承担责任，做自己的工作”，需要分别用carry out one's duty 和take on a duty。从搭配来看，只有B项可选。
22．A.wealthy B．excited

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。
When waiting for the train, a young girl playing with her ball suddenly found it out of her hands, __36__ (roll) off the platform and landing on the tracks. Not only was she troubled, but the whole family were a bit upset. Overhearing their conversation, I knew that the ball __37__ (give) to her from her grandfather, __38__ is no longer alive. It was not replaceable as it held precious memories.
I told them I could help get it for them. I wasn't sure how, but I'm __39__ (create) and felt confident I would figure it out.
They were hesitant to give me their contact information. I'm a nice lady, but still a stranger, and it felt odd to them that I would want to take time out of my life __40__ (help) them. My work colleague who was with me convinced them, “She really is good __41__ helping people. You really can trust her.”
As always in these __42__ (situation), you have to let one phone call lead to another until you can talk to someone who __43__ (have) the magic key to open the door. But __44__ (lucky) it took only 3 calls.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在火车站台偶遇他人有困难并给予帮助的故事。
36．rolling 考查现在分词。一个正在玩球的小女孩在等火车的时候，突然她的球跳到轨道里去了。动词roll与其逻辑主语it之间是主谓关系，故填rolling。
37．was given/had been given 考查动词的时态和语态。give sth. to sb.意思是“给某人某物”，根据语境此处应用被动语态，且文章的基础时态是一般过去时，give这一动作是过去发生的，故填was given；此处也可理解为give这一动作发生在过去的过去，故填had been given。
38．who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是一个定语从句，先行词是her grandfather，且从句缺少主语，应用指代人的关系代词，非限制性定语从句不能用that引导，故填who。
39．creative 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处应用形容词作表语，且动词create的形容词形式是creative，故填creative。
40．to help 考查不定式作状语。分析句子结构并结合语境可知，此处应用不定式作目的状语，故填to help。
41．at 考查介词。根据空前的形容词“good”和空后的动名词短语“helping people”可知，空处应填介词。be good at意思是“擅长”，为固定短语。故填at。
42．situations 考查名词复数。根据空前的these可知，空处应用名词的复数形式。situation意为“情况，形势”时，是可数名词，故填situations。
43．has 考查主谓一致。空处所在句是定语从句，关系词who指代其前的不定代词someone，不定代词作主语时，谓语动词应用单数，故填has。
44．luckily 考查副词。此处应用副词作状语修饰整个句子，故填luckily。
45．the 考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处表示特指，故填定冠词the。

Dear teachers and classmates，
Have you seen any broken cultural relics while travelling How do you feel about them I always feel sorry and sad because those relics of Chinese culture are symbols of different periods in our history. So it's our duty to protect them. But how
As for the government, it should make laws to prevent people from breaking them. What's more, setting up special organizations to protect cultural relics is also a good idea. As for us, we should follow the law and stop the people who destroy our cultural relics.

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。
If there's one thing I can't stand people saying, it's, “I'm no good at anything ... I don't have any_talent.” I just don't buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn't believe that what changed my mind was a seemingly (看似) small event that took place in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student. I was a funny looking skinny boy named Eugene_Orowitz,_who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn't found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school's running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it！Try it！” I had to wait my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw — the_best_throw going about 30_yards — I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, you want to try？” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then，” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling — a new found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I'd never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let_the_thing_go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
I watched as the spear took off.My heart quickened.
Paragraph 2：
That night I took the javelin home with me.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
I watched as the spear took off. My heart quickened as I saw it continue to sail, 30_yards out, then 40. As it went past the 50 yard mark, it was still going. For a minute nothing was said. Then someone whispered, “Holy cow！” And others began cheering. Nobody could believe what little Eugene_Orowitz had just done. I took the javelin back to the gym teacher. “You keep the thing，” he said, still shaking his head in wonder.
Paragraph 2：
That night I took the javelin home with me. The very next day I began practicing with it, and every day that summer — for six hours or more — I would throw it in a nearby schoolyard. By the time I was a member of the track team, all my practice paid off. I threw the javelin 211 feet that year, the_best_throw by any high school boy in the country. I feel strongly that we must keep our minds open; we can't let ourselves be discouraged or depressed when the talent doesn't readily appear.
