Ⅲ.阅读理解
I walked into the su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )permarket near my house, not buying anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly. The pain of losing my husband was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet memories.
He often came wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h me, and almost every time he’d pretend (假装) to go off and look for something special. He always bought me yellow roses. He knew I loved roses.
Now, standing by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak because my husband used to love steak.
Suddenly a woman ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T bone steaks, dropped them in her basket, hesitated (犹豫不决), and then put them back.
She saw me wat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ching her and she smiled, “My husband loves T bone steaks, but they’re so expensive.”
“My husband passed awa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y eight days ago,” I told her. I fought to control the sadness in my voice. “Buy him the T bone steaks. And cherish (珍惜) every moment you have together.”
Surprised by my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )words, she placed the T bone steaks in her basket and walked away silently. However, several minutes later that woman came towards me again. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile I had never seen.
As she came closer, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I saw what she held, and I couldn’t hold back my tears. “These are for you,” she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses meant for me, but, still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away.
I looked down at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )beautiful roses. How did she know Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn’t alone. There were still many people caring for me and willing to help me.
Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Five couples have bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n living side by side on Beasley Street in Pearce for 45 years.
In May 1968, five y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oung couples moved into new houses there. Forty five years later, they are still there, and although most are now retired and their children have left home, the neighbours remain good friends.
Yesterday, they gath ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ered at Mr. and Mrs. Miller’s house to share lunch, joined by relative (相对的) newcomers, the Browns, who moved there three decades ago. On either side of the Millers live the Blacks, the Greens, and the Whites. The only person missing the lunch was their neighbour, Kath Amon, who is travelling overseas.
When the five famili ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es moved in, there were a few houses there, and they could see cattle eating grass in the street outside their houses. Their children played all day at each other’s houses without their parents worrying about their safety.
“There are no chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren in the place now, since Pearce School closed, but we still enjoy it,” Mr. Black said.
The neighbours ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) often feed each other’s pets. When someone goes on holiday they will water their plants.
Mrs. Brown said she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )first got to know the Miller family when she and Mrs. Miller took a writing course together, and the pair struck_up a friendship.
Mr. Black said as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) they got older he and his wife had considered moving to a small house, but finally decided against it.
“We’ve often d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iscussed getting out and getting into a smaller unit or something, but all of us think, no, the neighbours are too good, it’s too good to leave,” he says.
36.When did the Browns move in
A.In 1923. B.In 1968.
C.In 1938. D.In 1983.
37.What do the five families often do
①They help each other by looking after pets.
②They have writing classes together.
③They help each other by watering plants.
④They let their children play at each other’s houses.
A.①②④ B.②③④
C.①③④ D.①②③
38.What does t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he underlined phrase “struck up” in the seventh paragraph probably mean
A.Started. B.Finished.
C.Showed. D.Missed.
39.We can infer from the last two paragraphs that Mr. Black ________.
A.has developed a deep friendship with his neighbours
B.is so old that he can’t live alone
C.agrees with his wife’s opinion about moving out
D.can’t afford to buy a big house any more
B
How did the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sea horse get its name It’s not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse’s tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better name. Then there’s the sea horse’s pouch (袋). “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.
Sea horses live in w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings (环境). A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding (缠绕) its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp. For a fish that doesn’t move around much, the sea horse eats a lot — in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the same mate for its whole life, and it’s the male (雄的) sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch (孵化). Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs. The male sea horse spends most of its life carrying eggs.
Sadly, the number of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don’t live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.
40.The sea horse got its name because of its ________.
A.head B.tail
C.skin D.pouch
41.How does a sea horse keep safe from other fish
A.It hides in plants and grasses.
B.It runs away quickly.
C.It remains still.
D.It rolls up.
42.What does a female sea horse do with her eggs
A.She puts them in the male’s pouch.
B.She hides them in sea grasses.
C.She carries them around.
D.She hatches them.
43.Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller
A.They grow at a very low speed.
B.Their homes are being destroyed.
C.They are killed by people for food.
D.Their food is becoming less and less.

Mr. Patrick was new t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the school and to us. Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary (害怕的) to me.
Some kids began to bel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ieve that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those“few”.
One day I gathered up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.
“How are you?” I asked with my voice cracking (变嘶哑).
He managed to say,“Fine.”
“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.
“Hmmm ...” was all I heard.
“What’s up with you?” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why don’t you like all other people in the school Why are you always so quiet and sad Why ...”
“No dear, some things ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily (忧郁地).
“Oh no sir, not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”

In 1971 a yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ung man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a D|S20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass (使困窘) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
Later, he worked ver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than D|S50,000 away in Kansas City.
48.The young man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was traveling across the country in 1971 probably to ________.
A.find a piece of work to do
B.hand out gifts to passers by
C.look for a good restaurant
D.show his new car to others
49.The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “this” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
A.a wallet B.his luck
C.the D|S20 bill D.his tip
50.On the way out of town, the young man got to know that ________.
A.it was very honest of the owner to return his money
B.another man who had breakfast in the restaurant lost the money
C.he could probably find himself a job in the restaurant
D.the owner helped him in a way that didn’t hurt his feelings
51.From this text we can infer that ________.
A.the man raised money for the poor
B.the man did carry out his promise
C.Santa gives the man money each year
D.the man was not successful in the end

“Schools shou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld increase teaching hours and cut the length of traditional holidays because the education system is being blocked (阻碍) by a 19th century timetable,” the UK Education Secretary, Michael Gove said.
In the Far East, s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudents are expected to follow a longer day and get less time off. Mr. Gove suggested all schools should follow the example set in the Far East.
It was reported th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at some state schools open at 8:30 am and expect children to stay at school until at least 4:30 pm to take part in after school activities. Some schools have four week summer holidays because they worry that children will have poor performance in class after the six week break. Mr. Gove said that all schools should follow this model.
But his sugges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion is likely to cause anger among teachers. They strongly protect the six week summer break, which they think is very important for them to refresh (恢复精力) from busy teaching days. Mr. Gove said that the government was making changes to teachers’ pay and working conditions. They could be paid more for working extra days.
Mr. Gove also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) said, “The current (现在的) model of schoolday was designed at a time when we had an agricultural (农业的) economy. It is not suitable for the modern society any more. The change is to expect children to succeed; hard work is at the heart of everything.
“I remember whe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n I was at school in Aberdeen, we had a break in October when children would go to the fields to pick potatoes. It was also at a time when most mothers stayed at home and cared for their children.
“That world no lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nger exists, and we can’t afford to have an education system that was set in the 19th century.”
52.What is Mr. Gove’s advice
①The length of holidays should be cut down.
②Students should have six week summer holidays.
③Students need to follow a shorter day.
④Teaching hours should be increased.
A.①② B.①④
C.②③ D.②④
53.Why are teachers against Mr. Gove’s suggestion
A.They will get less pay if the holidays are shorter.
B.Children’s performance will be worse if holidays are shorter.
C.They will not have enough time to relax.
D.Children will have fewer after school activities.
54.What does Mr.Gove think of the current school system
A.It gives children spare time to pick potatoes.
B.It is suitable for an agricultural society.
C.It helps mothers educate their children at home.
D.It makes children learn more about agriculture.
55.Where does this text probably come from
A.An agricultural book.
B.An educational report.
C.A school guide.
D.A science magazine.
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
Whenever we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally, we shou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
Topic: Never Give Up
Possible meanings and the author’s opinions 1.The words “Nev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er giv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e up” can (56)________ others or oneself and express one’s determination. 2.A person who wants to (57)________ should have the quality. So we should never give up.
The (58)________ 1.If we give up too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )easily, maybe we will achieve (59)________, so when we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not (60)________ ourselves but try again. 2.Always giv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing up means that we will not be able to (61)________ any progress. 3.Never giving up wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll make us learn from the mistakes we’ve made before and learn the (62)________ so as not to make the same mistakes. 4.To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us (63)________ ourselves, we must not give up but challenge ourselves.
Conclusions If you give up, you w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill have no (64)________ of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will attain your goals sooner or (65)________

答 案
Ⅰ.1.解析:句意:当人们发现那 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个可怜的小孩时,他正在挣扎着尽力往湖岸游。根据句意及“found”可知,此处是指过去正在进行的动作,因此用过去进行时。
答案:C

答案:B

答案:D
4.解析:句意:“你认为是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )什么让玛丽那么沮丧?”“她的新自行车丢了。”答语为省略句,补全为Losing her new bicycle made Mary so upset.故用动名词作主语。
答案:C
5.解析:句意:我担心你父母不 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )会同意你参加厨艺班。 approve of“赞成”,为固定搭配。 admit of“容许有;有……的余地”; agree“同意”; prove“证明”,不与of搭配。
答案:D
6.解析:句意:我们经常被告诫说赢得 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )别人尊重的最好方法就是尊重别人。 earn respect from“从……得到尊重”; show respect for“尊重……”。
答案:B
7.解析:考查连词辨析。句意:在这个十字路口 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )你向右或向左转弯都没有关系——两条路都通向公园。题干中it作形式主语,所以所选的连词在句中引导主语从句。 whether引导名词性从句表示“是否”之意,而且题干中出现了关键信息词or。 whether ... or ...表示“是……还是……”。
答案:A
8.解析:句意:贫困地区的农 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )民过去常常等待政府的帮助,但现在他们已经习惯了自己养活自己。 used to do“过去常常……”; be/become used to doing“习惯于……”。

9.解析:句意:“当刘老师去北京进 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )修的时候,谁负责我们班呢?”“赵老师负责。” in charge of“负责,掌管”,宾语是被看管的人或物,符合题意。 in the charge of“(某事)由(某人)负责”,主语是被看管的人或物; in return for“作为报答;回报”; in exchange for“交换”。
答案:C
10.解析:分析句子结构可知,所填词引导一个定语从句,修饰先行词friends,并在从句中作主语,故选项C正确。
答案:C
11.解析:句意:他们越细 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )心,犯的错误就越少。 “the+比较级,the+比较级”句型后面句子不用倒装,因此是they will make。
答案:D
12.解析:all作先行词时用tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t引导定语从句,what不可以引导定语从句。 what相当于一个名词加that。第二个空的that与so构成句式:so ... that ... “如此……以至于……”。
答案:D
13.解析:句意:里德先生决定 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )倾其所有为贫困儿童建造几所学校。 devote sth. to意为“把某物贡献给……”,to是介词,后可接动名词作宾语,构成devote sth. to doing sth.结构。
答案:B
14.解析:考查“It is+adj.+不定式”结构。题干为该结构的一般疑问形式,it在句中作形式主语,不定式短语为真正的主语。
答案:D
15.解析:答语的下一句提到任何一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个都可以,由此可知说话人不介意。A项“我不介意”符合语境。B项表示“我确信”,C项通常用来表示事情容易做或乐于相助,D项表示允许,都不符合语境。
答案:A

Toms Shoes found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er (创始人) Blake Mycoskie is an American. He spends a great deal of his time giving out shoes in South America and Africa, and giving speeches about his One For One business model (buy a pair of shoes, and a pair is given to someone in need for free). Now he’s expecting one million people worldwide to take part in the One Day Without Shoes event — spending a day without shoes to have a better understanding of those who do not have a choice.
The latest shoes of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Toms Shoes have a more lofty inspiration (高尚的灵感): great teachers. “The world’s attention has been on climate change in recent yeas. I think that education can be the next climate change,” Mycoskie said. “Not that we don’t have a long way to go on climate change still, but I believe education will be the next theme of pop culture.”
Mycoskie wrot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a book named “Start Something That Matters”. “It’s the No. 1 question I get asked: I have an idea, how do I get it started And I think I have some ideas to help people with that,” he said.
Part of the book is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about challenging people — to volunteer at a homeless shelter or to start a giving program at their business, he explained.
The book is si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mple in design and message. It also calls on people to lead a simple life. “People think they can’t live without many things,” said Mycoskie, who lives on a houseboat to prevent his stuff from increasing. “But in fact, they also understand how not having a lot of stuff to keep you lead a more free life.” However, he doesn’t want you to just buy one pair of shoes. “That is a dilemma (两难之境),” he said. “But nothing is perfect.”
1.Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing is TRUE about the One Day Without Shoes event
A.It is part of the One For One business model.
B.It is held in South America and Africa every year.
C.It makes people experience what it’s like not wearing shoes.

A.he wants to prove he is a successful business man
B.no shoes can remain perfect for a long time
C.he wants to earn more money to improve his life
D.the more shoes he sells, the more he sends to others
3.What’s Blake Mycoskie’s view on climate change
A.People still need to work hard on it.
B.It has something to do with education.
C.Great teachers should pay more attention to it.
D.It could be the next inspiration for his new shoes.
4.Who would most pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bably be interested in the book “Start Something That Matters”?
A.Those who want to give out shoes.
B.Those who want to lead a free life.
C.Those who don’t know how to deal with challenges.
D.Those who don’t know how to put their ideas into practice.

To most of us, sch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool means classes, teachers, schedules, grades, and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly there are no l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers — only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three year old, ’Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Vall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each — even four year olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
6.What does the school believe
A.Teachers cannot teach children well.
B.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C.Learning is for adults — children should only play.
D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
7.What does Daniel Greenberg say about three year olds
A.They love learning.
B.They are very naughty.
C.They want to be outside all the time.
D.They are too young to learn anything.
8.Who has the most power in the school meetings
A.The older children have more power than the younger children.
B.A child has more power than an adult.
C.The younger children have more power than the older children.
D.Everybody has equal power.
9.What happens to the children after they leave this school
A.They do all things in different ways.
B.They have trouble getting into college or getting a job.
C.Most of them have a promising future.
D.They are not successful.
答 案
1.解析:考查副词辨析。句意:正如你说的,我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可能不适合当老师,但是无论如何,我要试一试。 anyhow“无论如何”; somehow“不知怎么地”; therefore“因此”; otherwise“否则的话”。故根据句意选B。
答案:B
2.解析:考查形容词辨析 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。句意:虽然他的父母很富有,但他努力不依靠他的家人。 be independent of“独立的,与……无关”; challenging“具有挑战性的”; splendid“非常好的”; fond“喜欢的”。
答案:B
3.解析:句意:大多数早读课应该被用 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )来更好地学习英语。分析句子结构可知,本题考查make use of sth to do sth.的被动形式“sth. be made use of to do sth.”,显然C项正确。
答案:C
4.解析:句意:“你在这儿工作很久了吗?”“是的,自从毕业以来(我就在这儿工作了)”。根据语境可知,此时since从句采用一般过去时态。
答案:B
5.解析:考查让步状语从句。句意:自从灾难发 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生以来,所有的人不管是老人还是年轻人,富人还是穷人,都一直在努力帮助那些需要帮助的人。 even if “即使”; whether ... or ... “不管……还是……”; no matter 后接疑问词时,表示“不管……”; however “无论多么……”。故B项符合句意。

7.解析:句意:所有大学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )都有责任让学生了解科学界的快速发展。此处用了keep+宾语+宾补的句式,宾语their students 与动词inform之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。 keep sb. informed of “使某人随时了解……”。
答案:C
8.解析:句意:如果大多数养家的人都能将 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )他一天所赚得钱捐赠给希望工程,那么希望工程将大有希望。 donate“捐赠”,与语境相符。 exchange“交流”; present“颁发”; devote“致力于”。
答案:B
9.解析:句意:就我所知,教 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )育是关于学习的。你学得越多,你为生活所做的准备就越好。“the+比较级 ...,the+比较级 ...”,表示“越……,就越……”。前一个“the+比较级”相当于比较状语从句,后一个“the+比较级”为主句。
答案:B
10.解析:句意:“你多长时间 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )出去吃一次饭?”“不好说/那要视情况而定,不过通常每周一次。”A项“说不清楚,不知道”;B项“视情况而定”;C项“和往常一样”;D项“一般来说”。故选B。

答案:D
5.解析:主旨大意题。本 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文介绍了汤姆布鞋创始人Blake Mycoskie帮助他人的事迹。他不仅开创One For One的生意模式、举办One Day Without Shoes的活动帮助没鞋穿的人,还出书激励人们从事慈善事业。
答案:C
语篇解读:对大多数人而言,学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )校意味着班级、老师、时间表、分数和考试,但对Sudbury Valley School的学生来讲却完全是另外一回事。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I am 13 years old ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and in eighth grade. One day, when I was walking home from school, I saw some words on a fence (栅栏) of a house. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (终点).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this made me a little happier.
I saw the quote e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very day while walking home from school. One day I decided to write one of my favorite quotes on the fence for someone else to see. When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while.
A few days later, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was writing another quote on the fence. And the old man, one of my neighbours, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me for writing on his fence. He was not known to be a very friendly person. He looked at me angrily and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he went back inside. I was terrified for a while, but when I went back to the fence, I noticed two words had been added: “Thank you.”
Later, I saw the ol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d man in his front yard. He called me over and told me that he was glad to see that young people still had values. We are now good friends. I still don’t know who wrote that very first quote, but I’d like to say “thank you” to that unknown hero.
1.How did the author feel before he saw the words on the fence
A.Excited. B.Bored.
C.Unhappy. D.Tired.
2.What does the u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderlined word “quote” in the second paragraph refer to
A.The words on the fence.
B.The fence.
C.The house.
D.The words that the author wrote on the fence.
3.What did the old man do after he read the quotes
A.He argued with the author.
B.He wrote another quote on the fence.
C.He warned the author and went inside.
D.He expressed his thanks in his own way.
4.What can we learn about the old man
A.He was the author’s new neighbour.
B.He knew who first wrote the words on his fence.
C.He was glad to see that young people had values.
D.He was known for his friendliness.
Ⅲ.任务型读写
Maybe you are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.
Plan your time carefully
When planning you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment (娱乐). A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study
Look around the house ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class
Take advanta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly
When you get home fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards the tests
The purpose (目的) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ethods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
(1)________ for your study
Plan your time carefully (2)________ things that you have to do. Make a good (3)________ of what you have to do every day. Remember to set aside enough time for (4)________.
Find a good place to study Nothing is there except your (5)________ materials.
Make good use of your time in class Be a good (6)________ in class. Take notes carefully in class.
Study (7)________ Go over your notes when back home. Preview the material to be(8)________ the next day.
Develop a good attitude towards tests Never let tests (9)________ you in your study.
To become a (10)________ student.

Miss Paula has been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )teaching us a lot of things. Some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway. Miss Paula says she can’t change the rule that we can’t make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other. She is teaching us sign language. I already know how to say hello and how are you with my hands. Now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.
Miss Paula likes every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )body even Sam and nobody likes Sam. He never does what he’s told but now he is doing better. Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are. I guess that includes Sam.

She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us.

推理判断题——
利用全文进行推理判断
推理判断题是高考英语阅读理解 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的重要题型。此类题型往往不能从原材料中直接找到答案,而是需要考生进行一定的推理。解题时,应该先寻找与题干有逻辑联系的内容,并结合主旨大意、作者意图、主人公情感等因素对其进行综合分析,而后通过联想和逻辑转换分析哪个备选项表达的信息与推断出的信息吻合,从而得出最终答案。如第4题,我们要综合分析整篇文章的语气、用词、表达方式等多方面的因素进行推断才能得出正确答案。

[句式讲解]
本句中Going to a British high school for one year为动名词短语作主语。
(1)动名词(短语)作主语可放在句首,谓语动词用单数,动名词作主语往往表示比较笼统的、一般的或习惯性的动作。
Learning English ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )well is challenging for him as he is an average student.

11.The more careful they are, ________.
A.fewer the mistakes will they make
B.fewer the mistakes they will make
C.the fewer mistakes will they make
D.the fewer mistakes they will make
解析:句意:他们越细心,犯的错误就越少。 “the+比较级,the+比较级”句型后面句子不用倒装,因此是they will make。
答案:D
12.He was so plea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sed with all ________ we had done for him ________ he wrote us a letter to praise us for it.
A.what; what B.what; that
C.that; what D.that; that
解析:all作先行词时用that引 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )导定语从句,what不可以引导定语从句。 what相当于一个名词加that。第二个空的that与so构成句式:so ... that ... “如此……以至于……”。
答案:D
13.Mr Reed made u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p his mind to devote all he had to ________ some schools for poor children.
A.set up B.setting up
C.have set up D.having set up
解析:句意:里德先生决定倾其所有为贫 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )困儿童建造几所学校。 devote sth. to意为“把某物贡献给……”,to是介词,后可接动名词作宾语,构成devote sth. to doing sth.结构。
答案:B
14.Is ________ possib ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le to master a foreign language without much memory work
A.this B.that
C.one D.it
解析:考查“It is+adj.+不定式”结构。题干为该结构的一般疑问形式,it在句中作形式主语,不定式短语为真正的主语。
答案:D
15.—Which one of these do you want
—________. Either will do.
A.I don’t mind B.I’m sure
C.No problem D.Go ahead
解析:答语的下一句提到任何 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一个都可以,由此可知说话人不介意。A项“我不介意”符合语境。B项表示“我确信”,C项通常用来表示事情容易做或乐于相助,D项表示允许,都不符合语境。
答案:A

Five couples ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have been living side by side on Beasley Street in Pearce for 45 years.
In May 1968, fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve young couples moved into new houses there. Forty five years later, they are still there, and although most are now retired and their children have left home, the neighbours remain good friends.
Yesterday, they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gathered at Mr. and Mrs. Miller’s house to share lunch, joined by relative (相对的) newcomers, the Browns, who moved there three decades ago. On either side of the Millers live the Blacks, the Greens, and the Whites. The only person missing the lunch was their neighbour, Kath Amon, who is travelling overseas.
When the five families ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) moved in, there were a few houses there, and they could see cattle eating grass in the street outside their houses. Their children played all day at each other’s houses without their parents worrying about their safety.
“There are no childre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n in the place now, since Pearce School closed, but we still enjoy it,” Mr. Black said.
The neighbours o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ften feed each other’s pets. When someone goes on holiday they will water their plants.
Mrs. Brown said she f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst got to know the Miller family when she and Mrs. Miller took a writing course together, and the pair struck_up a friendship.
Mr. Black said as the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y got older he and his wife had considered moving to a small house, but finally decided against it.
“We’ve often discu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssed getting out and getting into a smaller unit or something, but all of us think, no, the neighbours are too good, it’s too good to leave,” he says.
语篇解读:在Pearce的Beasley街上有五对夫妇,他们友谊深厚,在一起已经住了四十五年了。
36.When did the Browns move in
A.In 1923. B.In 1968.

A.has developed a deep friendship with his neighbours
B.is so old that he can’t live alone
C.agrees with his wife’s opinion about moving out

How did the sea horse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )get its name It’s not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse’s tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better name. Then there’s the sea horse’s pouch (袋). “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.
Sea horses live in wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings (环境). A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding (缠绕) its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp. For a fish that doesn’t move around much, the sea horse eats a lot — in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he same mate for its whole life, and it’s the male (雄的) sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch (孵化). Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs. The male sea horse spends most of its life carrying eggs.
Sadly, the num ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ber of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don’t live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.
40.The sea horse got its name because of its ________.
A.head B.tail
C.skin D.pouch
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的The top half of this fish looks like a small horse可知。

Mr. Patrick was ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w to the school and to us. Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary (害怕的) to me.
Some kids began to b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elieve that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those“few”.
One day I g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )athered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.
“How are you?” I asked with my voice cracking (变嘶哑).
He managed to say,“Fine.”
“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.
“Hmmm ...” was all I heard.
“What’s up with y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why don’t you like all other people in the school Why are you always so quiet and sad Why ...”
“No dear, so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily (忧郁地).
“Oh no sir, no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”
“With you You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”
I was somehow off ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ended but still I managed to persuade him,“So what, Sir You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”
“Oh Okay, that was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will let you know everything.”
Soon after our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.

In 1971 a yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ung man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a D|S20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wn, he began to understand what that fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass (使困窘) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
Later, he worke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.

“Schools shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d increase teaching hours and cut the length of traditional holidays because the education system is being blocked (阻碍) by a 19th century timetable,” the UK Education Secretary, Michael Gove said.
In the Far Eas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t, students are expected to follow a longer day and get less time off. Mr. Gove suggested all schools should follow the example set in the Far East.
It was reported that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some state schools open at 8:30 am and expect children to stay at school until at least 4:30 pm to take part in after school activities. Some schools have four week summer holidays because they worry that children will have poor performance in class after the six week break. Mr. Gove said that all schools should follow this model.
But his sugge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stion is likely to cause anger among teachers. They strongly protect the six week summer break, which they think is very important for them to refresh (恢复精力) from busy teaching days. Mr. Gove said that the government was making changes to teachers’ pay and working conditions. They could be paid more for working extra days.
Mr. Gove also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )said, “The current (现在的) model of schoolday was designed at a time when we had an agricultural (农业的) economy. It is not suitable for the modern society any more. The change is to expect children to succeed; hard work is at the heart of everything.
“I remember wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en I was at school in Aberdeen, we had a break in October when children would go to the fields to pick potatoes. It was also at a time when most mothers stayed at home and cared for their children.
“That world ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )no longer exists, and we can’t afford to have an education system that was set in the 19th century.”
语篇解读:英国教育部长呼吁把英国传 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )统假期的时间缩短,他认为学生们应该在学校的时间更长些,并且学生们取得成功的方法就是努力学习。他说现在的教育制度是为农耕时期的孩子们设立的,那时候孩子们可以利用假期去田里帮忙收获土豆。
52.What is Mr. Gove’s advice
①The length of holidays should be cut down.
②Students should have six week summer holidays.
③Students need to follow a shorter day.
④Teaching hours should be increased.
A.①② B.①④
C.②③ D.②④
解析:细节理解题。由文章第一段可知①、④正确,所以答案选B;由第三段可知②错误;由第二段第一句话可知③错误。
答案:B
53.Why are teachers against Mr. Gove’s suggestion
A.They will get less pay if the holidays are shorter.
B.Children’s performance will be worse if holidays are shorter.
C.They will not have enough time to relax.
D.Children will have fewer after school activities.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段But his suggestion is likely to cause anger among teachers. They strongly protect the six week summer break, which they think is very important for them to refresh from busy teaching days.可知有些教师们反对是因为他们需要长时间的休息来恢复精神。

A.It gives children spare time to pick potatoes.
B.It is suitable for an agricultural society.
C.It helps mothers educate their children at home.
D.It makes children learn more about agriculture.
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第五段The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )current model of schoolday was designed at a time when we had an agricultural economy.可以看出现在的教育体系是在农业经济时期设立的,应该只适合农业社会,故答案选B。
答案:B

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
Whenever we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally, we should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
Topic: Never Give Up
