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
“Sorry, but I don't agree with you ...” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don't agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when I need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

A．he is a friendly person

A．be unhappy
B．argue with the friend
C．break up with the friend
D．explain things calmly
3．What does the author mainly talk about in the text
A．How to keep friendship.
B．How to avoid hurting a friend.

Some people drink water that's been left out overnight or even for a whole day.Have you noticed it tastes different
Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire an off taste.Many people think that this is because of microorganisms (微生物)．But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh.For that we can thank carbon dioxide.After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its PH and giving it an off taste.But it's most likely safe to drink.
However, back to those microorganisms.If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well.But assuming you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.
As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr.Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute.“A chemical called bisphenol A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach (过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun，” he explains.BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer.Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle.Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.
4．According to Paragraph 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours ________.
A．tastes better
B．is still safe to drink
C．contains few microorganisms
D．is most likely undrinkable
5．What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car
A．Throw them away.
B．Refill them with fresh water.
C．Use them after they cool down.
D．Clean them and use them again.
6．Which of the following is TRUE about BPA
A．It is safe for people to use.
B．It is a kind of new material.
C．It can cause great harm to people.
D．It is the main material to make plastic.
C
An ancient Egyptian mummy (木乃伊) returned home last month 150 years after being stolen by a Canadian doctor.
The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ， the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It was stolen in the 19th century, at the time when many explorers from Europe and America wanted to find the mummified bodies of Pharaohs (法老). They had heard stories of the Pharaohs being buried with treasures of great artistic, scientific and financial value.
But when King Tut was discovered in 1922 in Egypt, they realized the Pharaohs might have been buried with something else as well.
As soon as Englishman Howard Carter found King Tut's tomb, strange things started to happen.
On the night of the discovery, Carter's canary (金丝雀) was killed by a snake. It was the same kind of snake found on a symbol worn by the Pharaohs on their foreheads.
A few months later, Lord Carnarvon, the man who paid for Carter's trip, died suddenly in Cairo of unknown causes. By 1935, no fewer than 21 people connected with the discovery of the tomb had died.
After much argument over whether the curse (诅咒) of King Tut really existed, four years ago German scientist Gotthard Kramer tried to find out for certain. He discovered that bacteria (细菌) on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths. “When this bacteria enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes，” Kramer said, “it can result in illness or even death, particularly to those with bad health.”
But perhaps the power of the curse is in the mind of those who believe it. Carter, the man who actually opened the tomb, lived to 66 before dying of natural causes. “All sensible people should dismiss these curse ideas as rubbish，” he said.
7．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．Ramses Ⅰ was one of the rulers of Egypt
B．the curse led to the tomb discovers' death
C．all the mummy stealers were killed by robbers
D．all the tomb discoverers were bitten to death by a snake
8．The underlined word “dismiss” in the last paragraph here means ________.
A．not employ B．stop thinking
C．send away D．allow to go
9．The mummy mentioned in the first paragraph might be ________.
A．the mother of Ramses Ⅰ
B．buried in the desert
C．killed by a kind of bacteria
D．the body of Ramses Ⅰ
10．Strange things started to happen because ________.
A．Carter's canary was killed
B．the curse took effect
C．the bacteria led to deadly diseases
D．the stealers destroyed the tomb

Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child.__13__ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
__14__ Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form.Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated.A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级)．__15__
A．Change goals every so often.
B．Make a visual goal reminder.
C．Don't always tell him what you think.

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

An ancient Egyptian mummy (木乃伊) returned home last month 150 years after being stolen by a Canadian doctor.
The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ， the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It was stolen in the 19th century, at the time when many explorers from Europe and America wanted to find the mummified bodies of Pharaohs (法老). They had heard stories of the Pharaohs being buried with treasures of great artistic, scientific and financial value.
But when King Tut was discovered in 1922 in Egypt, they realized the Pharaohs might have been buried with something else as well.
As soon as Englishman Howard Carter found King Tut's tomb, strange things started to happen.
On the night of the discovery, Carter's canary (金丝雀) was killed by a snake. It was the same kind of snake found on a symbol worn by the Pharaohs on their foreheads.
A few months later, Lord Carnarvon, the man who paid for Carter's trip, died suddenly in Cairo of unknown causes. By 1935, no fewer than 21 people connected with the discovery of the tomb had died.
After much argument over whether the curse (诅咒) of King Tut really existed, four years ago German scientist Gotthard Kramer tried to find out for certain. He discovered that bacteria (细菌) on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths. “When this bacteria enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes，” Kramer said, “it can result in illness or even death, particularly to those with bad health.”
But perhaps the power of the curse is in the mind of those who believe it. Carter, the man who actually opened the tomb, lived to 66 before dying of natural causes. “All sensible people should dismiss these curse ideas as rubbish，” he said.
7．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．Ramses Ⅰ was one of the rulers of Egypt
B．the curse led to the tomb discovers' death
C．all the mummy stealers were killed by robbers
D．all the tomb discoverers were bitten to death by a snake
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第二段首句“...Ramses Ⅰ， the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt.”可知，Ramses Ⅰ是古埃及的统治者之一。
8．The underlined word “dismiss” in the last paragraph here means ________.
A．not employ B．stop thinking
C．send away D．allow to go
解析：选B 词义猜测题。由最后一段“But perhaps the power of the curse is in the mind of those who believe it.”可知，诅咒只存在于相信它的人们心中，而明智的人则应该不予理会。故dismiss在此意为“不予理会，不去想”。
9．The mummy mentioned in the first paragraph might be ________.
A．the mother of Ramses Ⅰ
B．buried in the desert
C．killed by a kind of bacteria
D．the body of Ramses Ⅰ
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第二段“The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ ...”以及下文可知，这个木乃伊应为拉姆士一世的尸体，故选D。
10．Strange things started to happen because ________.
A．Carter's canary was killed
B．the curse took effect
C．the bacteria led to deadly diseases
D．the stealers destroyed the tomb
解析：选C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“bacteria on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths.”可知，木乃伊上的细菌会导致致命的疾病，这才引起一些奇怪的事情发生。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence.However, setting goals doesn't come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life.__11__
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.__12__ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve.If he's stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child.__13__ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
__14__ Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form.Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated.A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级)．__15__
A．Change goals every so often.
B．Make a visual goal reminder.
C．Don't always tell him what you think.
D．He's climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E．You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F．Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G．When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
11．选E 根据空前的“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer”可知，你可以通过拿运动做例子来帮助孩子明白目标的概念，所以选E项。
12．选C 根据本段主题句“Listen to your child.”和空前的“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.”可知，你不要总是告诉孩子你的想法，要让孩子自己去决定他的目标，所以选C项。
13．选G 根据本段主题句“Help keep goals achievable.”和空后所举的例子可推知，父母在孩子的目标太大不能实现的情况下，可以帮助其分解目标从而逐步实现目标，所以选G项。
14．选B 根据空后的“Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form.”可知，确定目标之后，要让孩子把目标写下来，便于提醒和及时查看，所以选B项。
15．选D 根据空前的“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级)．”可知，爬向顶端就意味着离目标更近了，所以选D项。

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。
Moai are stone statues (雕像) on Easter Island. There are about 1,000 moai __36__ (place) mainly around the coast of the island; most of __37__ (they) are between 7 and 10 metres high and weigh about 12.5 tonnes. Though moai are whole body statues, they are commonly known as “Easter Island heads”. This is partly because of the __38__ (extreme) large size of most moai heads and partly because some of __39__ best known ones are buried up to their shoulders.
When, why, and how they were made is still a mystery today. It is believed that they were made almost 1,000 years ago by Polynesians, __40__ lived there at the time, to honour their ancestors and bring good luck. __41__ (move) them, they may have used wooden sledges (雪橇) or rollers or even “walked” them by rocking the moai along.
However, Erich von Daniken, a novelist, had a(n) __42__ (amaze) theory. He suggested __43__ long time ago an alien space ship broke down and the aliens were forced to land on the island. While __44__ (repair) the space ship, they had fun shaping each other in stone. This is why moai statues have such long non human looking faces. As soon as the space ship __45__ (fix), the alien visitors left, leaving some of the statues unfinished.
36．placed 设空处作后置定语，修饰“1,000 moai”，因place与1,000 moai之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填placed。
37．them 设空处指代上文的“1,000 moai”，且作介词of的宾语，故填them。
38．extremely 设空处作状语修饰large，故填extremely。
39．the best known是形容词最高级形式，其前应用定冠词限定，故填the。
40．who 设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Polynesians，且在从句中作主语，故填who。
41．To move 他们(波利西尼亚人)使用木雪橇或滚轴的目的是移动石像，故填To move。
42．amazing 设空处作定语修饰theory，表示“令人惊讶的”，故填amazing。
43．that 设空处引导宾语从句，作suggested的宾语，因从句结构和意义均完整，故填that。
44．repairing While与设空处构成“连词＋分词”结构，因they与repair之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填repairing。
45．was fixed the space ship与fix之间是被动关系，且由上下文可知，fix表示的动作发生在过去，故填was fixed。

Recently our English Club has had a debate about whether there should be policies on controlling the purchase of private cars in our city.
参考范文：
Recently our English Club has had a debate about whether there should be policies on controlling the purchase of private cars in our city. We had different opinions.
Some people support it. They say nowadays a large number of people own private cars, which has caused many problems, such as air pollution, traffic jams and an increase of energy use. There is no doubt that controlling the number of private cars will reduce these problems.
However, others think differently. They argue that they have the right to buy cars. What's more, if they don't have their own car, it isn't convenient for them to go out, whether for work or travel.
As for me, I agree with the former. In fact, we can use other forms of transport like buses, subways and bicycles.
第二节：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

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.
