It’s a familiar feeling. Your friend has made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in you asks, why him not you
Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don’t possess now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness are part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.
So, is there a solution Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it the encouragement you need for self- improvement The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion, or their new car Envy shows us the things we’d like to have – so make up a plan to earn what’s important to you. Sign up for a night class. Start a training program. Give up a treat or tow and start saving for what you want.
And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.
24. The first paragraph is intended to _____.
A. give example B. tell the main idea
C. introduce the topic D. ask questions
25. When envy appears, we actually_____.
A. ignore its existence B. have feelings of unfairness
C. share it with friends D. lose something of our own
26. What is the best way to help stop envy
A. Developing your own strengths to the full.
B. Competing for what you are not good at,
C. Forgetting about the things you can’t get.
D. Trying to get anything that makes you envy
27. How does the author sound in the passage
A. Subjective B. Objective C. Unconcerned D. Worried.
C
As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson, a full-time mum, is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma had special needs but because Cameron was so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too. “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat which was real progress,” Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.
28. What does Paragraph 1 indicate
A. Cameron and Emma like doing their math tasks.
B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problem.
C. Cameron and Emma need support from parents.
D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.
29. What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean
A. Having passed his GCSE easily.
B. Having taken his GCSE seriously.
C. Having worked hard at his GCSE.
D. Having failed in his GCSE difficultly.
30. There are ______ people in Mrs. Thompson’s family.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
31. What can we know from the passage
A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself.
B. The children of the family are bright and gifted.
C. Cameron showed his special gift before primary school.
D. Gifted kids’ lives are not so different as people expect.
D
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate”. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”
32．What is the purpose of Spilich’s experiment
A．To test if smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers.
B．To see whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory.
C．To prove that smoking affects people’s regular performance.
D．To show how smoking damages people’s regular performance.
33．The underlined word “bested” mostly means .
A．beat B．envied
C．caught up with D．made the best of
34．Which of the following statements is true
A．Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.
B．Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C．Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.
D．Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Smokers should not expect to become airline pilots.
B．Smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness.
C．No airline pilots smoke during flights.
D．Smokers may prove unequal to non-smokers in handling emergency cases.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41_ .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so excited because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 44 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 45 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just walked out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience opened its mouth and 46 me in one big bite. I couldn’t 47 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 48 for my stolen pizza.

For the next two years, whenever I was 52 of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this 53 .Maybe I was a fool for 54 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will catch up with you.

第五部分 书面表达 读后续写（共1小题；满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But all that changed when she turned ten. For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother surprised her with an adorable gray puppy named Chloe. From the very start, the two were inseparable. “She was my best friend,” Renae says. Every ounce of love Renae gave, the little dog returned ten times. “She was such a sweet dog,” Renae says. “She’d lick (舔) your face forever if you didn’t stop her.”Whenever she called her name, she jumped three times.
But when Renae was 14, her father got a new job that came with a demanding condition—he’d be working from home, and the house needed to be free of sound distractions. “Chloe liked making sounds,” Renae says. “I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice in the matter. I didn’t want to get rid of my dog. I just felt so sick and sad about it.” With no easier option, the family took Chloe to a pet shelter. Though they were optimistic that the dog would find a new home with people who loved her, they couldn’t know for sure. “I called the pet shelter to try to find out what happened to her,” Renae says, “but they couldn’t tell me anything. So I never knew.”
In time, Renae grew up, got married, and had a child of her own. But her family didn’t feel quite complete. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She had it in her mind that she would adopt a puppy, but then one day she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe—she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided —she would adopt this older dog.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with a mysterious feeling.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But Renae’s mom realized there was a way to test her idea.

【答案】When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with a mysterious feeling. The dog seemed so familiar. And Chloe appeared to feel the same way about Renae. She ran up to Renae and started licking her face. Chloe reminded Renae so much of her old dog that the strong emotion overcame her. Renae began to cry. She just knew in her heart that it was her old Chloe. However, eight years had passed since Renae had seen Chloe last, so the idea seemed to be hard to prove. “How can I identify that you are my Chloe ” Renae thought in her mind confusedly, gently petting this old but cut dog.
But Renae’s mom realized there was a way to test her idea. She called the dog’s name “Chloe” softly. All of a sudden, Chloe jumped up three times continually. It was exactly what she used to do in the past. Renae was overjoyed to have her back. As for Chloe, she aslo knew that she would be with Renae forever.
【解析】

【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当遇到克洛伊时，蕾娜有一种神秘的感觉。”可知，第一段描述主人公狗重逢的场景。

It’s a familiar feeling. Your friend has made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in you asks, why him not you
Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don’t possess now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness are part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.
So, is there a solution Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it the encouragement you need for self- improvement The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion, or their new car Envy shows us the things we’d like to have – so make up a plan to earn what’s important to you. Sign up for a night class. Start a training program. Give up a treat or tow and start saving for what you want.
And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.
24. The first paragraph is intended to _____.
A. give example B. tell the main idea
C. introduce the topic D. ask questions
25. When envy appears, we actually_____.
A. ignore its existence B. have feelings of unfairness
C. share it with friends D. lose something of our own
26. What is the best way to help stop envy
A. Developing your own strengths to the full.
B. Competing for what you are not good at,
C. Forgetting about the things you can’t get.
D. Trying to get anything that makes you envy
27. How does the author sound in the passage
A. Subjective B. Objective C. Unconcerned D. Worried.
C
As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson, a full-time mum, is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma had special needs but because Cameron was so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too. “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat which was real progress,” Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.
28. What does Paragraph 1 indicate
A. Cameron and Emma like doing their math tasks.
B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problem.
C. Cameron and Emma need support from parents.
D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.
29. What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean
A. Having passed his GCSE easily.
B. Having taken his GCSE seriously.
C. Having worked hard at his GCSE.
D. Having failed in his GCSE difficultly.
30. There are ______ people in Mrs. Thompson’s family.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
31. What can we know from the passage
A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself.
B. The children of the family are bright and gifted.
C. Cameron showed his special gift before primary school.
D. Gifted kids’ lives are not so different as people expect.
D
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate”. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”
32．What is the purpose of Spilich’s experiment
A．To test if smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers.
B．To see whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory.
C．To prove that smoking affects people’s regular performance.
D．To show how smoking damages people’s regular performance.
33．The underlined word “bested” mostly means .
A．beat B．envied
C．caught up with D．made the best of
34．Which of the following statements is true
A．Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.
B．Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C．Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.
D．Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Smokers should not expect to become airline pilots.
B．Smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness.
C．No airline pilots smoke during flights.
D．Smokers may prove unequal to non-smokers in handling emergency cases.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41_ .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so excited because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 44 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 45 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just walked out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience opened its mouth and 46 me in one big bite. I couldn’t 47 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 48 for my stolen pizza.

I have learned two things from this 53 .Maybe I was a fool for 54 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will catch up with you.

第五部分 书面表达 读后续写（共1小题；满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But all that changed when she turned ten. For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother surprised her with an adorable gray puppy named Chloe. From the very start, the two were inseparable. “She was my best friend,” Renae says. Every ounce of love Renae gave, the little dog returned ten times. “She was such a sweet dog,” Renae says. “She’d lick (舔) your face forever if you didn’t stop her.”Whenever she called her name, she jumped three times.
But when Renae was 14, her father got a new job that came with a demanding condition—he’d be working from home, and the house needed to be free of sound distractions. “Chloe liked making sounds,” Renae says. “I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice in the matter. I didn’t want to get rid of my dog. I just felt so sick and sad about it.” With no easier option, the family took Chloe to a pet shelter. Though they were optimistic that the dog would find a new home with people who loved her, they couldn’t know for sure. “I called the pet shelter to try to find out what happened to her,” Renae says, “but they couldn’t tell me anything. So I never knew.”
In time, Renae grew up, got married, and had a child of her own. But her family didn’t feel quite complete. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She had it in her mind that she would adopt a puppy, but then one day she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe—she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided —she would adopt this older dog.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with a mysterious feeling.

【答案】When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with a mysterious feeling. The dog seemed so familiar. And Chloe appeared to feel the same way about Renae. She ran up to Renae and started licking her face. Chloe reminded Renae so much of her old dog that the strong emotion overcame her. Renae began to cry. She just knew in her heart that it was her old Chloe. However, eight years had passed since Renae had seen Chloe last, so the idea seemed to be hard to prove. “How can I identify that you are my Chloe ” Renae thought in her mind confusedly, gently petting this old but cut dog.
But Renae’s mom realized there was a way to test her idea. She called the dog’s name “Chloe” softly. All of a sudden, Chloe jumped up three times continually. It was exactly what she used to do in the past. Renae was overjoyed to have her back. As for Chloe, she aslo knew that she would be with Renae forever.
