三、阅读（共两节，满分30分）
3．（8分）Once upon a time，there lived a great king known for being brave and strong.One day he was wandering around the woods by himself.Instead of depending on his advisers，who would please him，he secretly walked among people to collect information directly from them.In this way，he could know what was exactly going on in his kingdom and what people really thought about.
After walking for a long time，he lost his way，and finally came to a hut.He saw an old lady outside the hut.Though the old lady did not recognize the king，she still welcomed him with warmth.She served the king a plate of hot rice with curry dish.The king was so hungry that he put his fingers on the hot food carelessly，and of course the hot food burnt his fingers.He dropped some rice on the floor.
"Oh，you seem very impatient and hasty（草率的）like our king，"the old lady said.The king was surprised by the lady's words and asked，"Why do you think our king is impatient and hasty？"
The old lady smiled and replied，"Our king has a big dream of taking all his enemies' cities.However，he just focused on taking the larger and more important cities while disregarding the smaller ones."The king was confused and stopped the old lady，"But that's a nice thing，and I don't see the problem with it."
With a smile，again she replied，"The impatience caused you to burn your fingers and waste some of the meal.Similarly，the king's haste led to the deaths of many soldiers.Instead，if you eat the less hot part of the food on the outer edge and then slowly move to the hotter middle，you can avoid burning your fingers and wasting food.In my opinion，the king can take over the small cities and stop them from providing supplies（补给）as well as information to the stronger cities.In that case，the enemies will lose their confidence easily.This will help him take over the larger cities without suffering heavy damages."
Finally，the king realized his mistake and learned the importance of patience.So he thanked the old lady and left the next morning.After that，he always made plans before important decisions to help his kingdom grow better.

4．（8分）A fun way to put yourself in a good mood（情绪）is by creating a mood board，sometimes called a vision board.What's that？"It's a collection of anything that encourages you，makes you happy，or speaks to you."says Susie Moore，an author and life coach.Moore often guides people at mood﹣﹣board﹣making classes.At the end of the classes，each person has built a collection that puts him or her in a positive frame of mind.
To create your own mood board，you'll need a board and pushpins.A poster board or cardboard works too.You'll also need old magazines，greeting cards，and photographs.Go through them，cutting out images for your board.Use your instincts（直觉）to choose what works best."Anything that makes you feel good，use it，"Moore says."When you see it，you'll know."
Here are some tips from Moore to help you to create your own mood board.
● One place to start is with some of your favorite things.I used photos of my favourite food —watermelon，and my favourite animal—penguins.
◆You might use your mood board to set goals for things you'd like to achieve.I want to read at least 30 books this year.
〇 Think about a place that makes you feel safe and happy.Maybe it's your classroom，a playground，or a comfortable corner at home.You can put photos of that place on your mood board，or choose photos that remind you of it.I used this image of West Virginia，where I grew up.
This is also a good time to think about what might make you happy in the future.I included a photo of a beach，because I hope to go there soon.
Not everything on your mood board has to serve a purpose or be connected to your life.Choose some images just because you like them.Every time I look at this photo，it makes me smile.

6．（8分）In a few pages，great stories can just make you cry，laugh，or even think.In this post，we're listing some of the most interesting stories that will challenge how you think or feel.
1）A Small Good Thing by Raymond Carver One of the most fantastic stories in Carver's works.A Small Good Thing finds a young mother and father in a period of shock when their son is serious hurt after an accident.To make matters worse，they keep getting calls in the middle of the night from a shopping mall baker telling them to pick up their son's birthday cake —a cake that might never be eaten.
2）And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie In the story，the ten people involved were all guilty（有罪的）.They were invited by an unknown person signed as U.N.O，eventually gathering in a wasted island.The nursery song，Ten Little Indian Boys，just predicted their terrible death.It seems that bad guys have all received their punishment，which has a very surprise ending for the readers.
3）The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry It is Christmas time and a young husband and wife are suffering from poverty.They both give up their own cherished things to find the perfect present for each other.The story has a twist ending that finds our characters in awful situations which they had never expected.That is why the ending of O.Henry's stores is such a delight.

5）Chocky by John Wyndham If you are a fan of science fiction and fantasy，you won't.miss it.It's about a young boy who has an alien living in his mind that makes him see things from a different point of view.Sometimes he gets upset with the alien，and when he says，"I'm hearing voices"，people start wondering what's going on.It is a book worth reading cover to cover in a day.

7．（5分）When we talk about numbers，have you noticed how we naturally think of the number three？
（1）　 　If you are a close observer of life，you should have found that this number is all around us.Everything has a beginning，a middle and an end.We eat three meals a day.Traffic lights all over the world use three colors：red，yellow and green.Things can always become more satisfying to readers if they come in threes.Have you ever noticed how powerful brands use the rule of three to improve their marketing？For example，"Just do it "，"I'm lovin' it" and " Coke is it ".（2）　 　
But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical？Well，we know that the human brain is very hard to be understood.However，it enjoys thinking in patterns（规律）.It is always trying to find structure in unrelated information.（3）　 　And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern.As the old saying goes，"Once is luck，twice is coincidence（巧合）and three times is a pattern."（4）　 　The audience will usually only remember three things from a speech.Do you want something in your speech to stick in your audiences' minds？Put it forward to them in groups of three.
If we properly use the rule of three in our daily lives，we can make many things easier.For example，many people like to add lots of tasks to their to﹣do lists.Experts，however，suggest they should limit themselves to just three tasks.（5）　 　And the next time you are making New Year's resolutions，consider listing only three things to work on.The longer your list is，the less likely you are to keep it!
A.These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging.
B.In some ways，"three"is a number that has magical powers.
C.What's more，if there are no patterns，our brains will create them.
D.These famous slogans（标语）are all three words long.
E.Moreover，our brains can only remember a little information at any given moment.

A number of r（2）　 　have proved that cold water slow down a person's digestion（消化）.Most people believe that having cold water or a cold drink r（3）　 　our body's core temperature（核心温度）.Think of your digestive system as a hot wok that fries food.If someone suddenly threw cold water into a burning wok，it would be dangerous.Similarly，when you drink cold water while eating，it's l（4）　 　adding water to a hot wok.

3．（8分）Once upon a time，there lived a great king known for being brave and strong.One day he was wandering around the woods by himself.Instead of depending on his advisers，who would please him，he secretly walked among people to collect information directly from them.In this way，he could know what was exactly going on in his kingdom and what people really thought about.
After walking for a long time，he lost his way，and finally came to a hut.He saw an old lady outside the hut.Though the old lady did not recognize the king，she still welcomed him with warmth.She served the king a plate of hot rice with curry dish.The king was so hungry that he put his fingers on the hot food carelessly，and of course the hot food burnt his fingers.He dropped some rice on the floor.
"Oh，you seem very impatient and hasty（草率的）like our king，"the old lady said.The king was surprised by the lady's words and asked，"Why do you think our king is impatient and hasty？"
The old lady smiled and replied，"Our king has a big dream of taking all his enemies' cities.However，he just focused on taking the larger and more important cities while disregarding the smaller ones."The king was confused and stopped the old lady，"But that's a nice thing，and I don't see the problem with it."
With a smile，again she replied，"The impatience caused you to burn your fingers and waste some of the meal.Similarly，the king's haste led to the deaths of many soldiers.Instead，if you eat the less hot part of the food on the outer edge and then slowly move to the hotter middle，you can avoid burning your fingers and wasting food.In my opinion，the king can take over the small cities and stop them from providing supplies（补给）as well as information to the stronger cities.In that case，the enemies will lose their confidence easily.This will help him take over the larger cities without suffering heavy damages."

6．（8分）In a few pages，great stories can just make you cry，laugh，or even think.In this post，we're listing some of the most interesting stories that will challenge how you think or feel.
1）A Small Good Thing by Raymond Carver One of the most fantastic stories in Carver's works.A Small Good Thing finds a young mother and father in a period of shock when their son is serious hurt after an accident.To make matters worse，they keep getting calls in the middle of the night from a shopping mall baker telling them to pick up their son's birthday cake —a cake that might never be eaten.
2）And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie In the story，the ten people involved were all guilty（有罪的）.They were invited by an unknown person signed as U.N.O，eventually gathering in a wasted island.The nursery song，Ten Little Indian Boys，just predicted their terrible death.It seems that bad guys have all received their punishment，which has a very surprise ending for the readers.
3）The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry It is Christmas time and a young husband and wife are suffering from poverty.They both give up their own cherished things to find the perfect present for each other.The story has a twist ending that finds our characters in awful situations which they had never expected.That is why the ending of O.Henry's stores is such a delight.
4）Heidi by Johanna Spyri The novel opened up a whole new world to the readers.It was magical because they may realize the power of their own imagination through picturing the mountains and the version of Heidi.It is hard to realize that books could do that.It led readers onto other things，like The Secret Garden.Heidi is what got you started in reading.
5）Chocky by John Wyndham If you are a fan of science fiction and fantasy，you won't.miss it.It's about a young boy who has an alien living in his mind that makes him see things from a different point of view.Sometimes he gets upset with the alien，and when he says，"I'm hearing voices"，people start wondering what's going on.It is a book worth reading cover to cover in a day.

（2）细节理解题。根据And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie中It seems that bad guys have all received their punishment，which has a very surprise ending for the readers.（坏人似乎都受到了惩罚，这对读者来说是一个非常惊喜的结局。）以及The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry中The story has a twist ending that finds our characters in awful situations which they had never expected.That is why the ending of O.Henry's stores is such a delight. （故事有一个反转的结局，发现我们的角色处于他们从未预料到的可怕境地。这就是为什么O.Henry书店的结局如此令人欣喜。）可知，And Then There Were None 和The Gift of the Magi这两本书的结局出人意料。故选C。

But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical？Well，we know that the human brain is very hard to be understood.However，it enjoys thinking in patterns（规律）.It is always trying to find structure in unrelated information.（3）　C　And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern.As the old saying goes，"Once is luck，twice is coincidence（巧合）and three times is a pattern."（4）　E　The audience will usually only remember three things from a speech.Do you want something in your speech to stick in your audiences' minds？Put it forward to them in groups of three.
If we properly use the rule of three in our daily lives，we can make many things easier.For example，many people like to add lots of tasks to their to﹣do lists.Experts，however，suggest they should limit themselves to just three tasks.（5）　A　And the next time you are making New Year's resolutions，consider listing only three things to work on.The longer your list is，the less likely you are to keep it!
A.These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging.
B.In some ways，"three"is a number that has magical powers.
C.What's more，if there are no patterns，our brains will create them.
D.These famous slogans（标语）are all three words long.
E.Moreover，our brains can only remember a little information at any given moment.

（4）考查连词。句意：同样，当你在吃饭时喝冷水，就像在热锅中加水。根据when you drink cold water while eating，（当你在吃饭时喝冷水，）结合首字母l可推断出空处应填连词：好像。故填：like。
（5）考查动词。句意：几千年来，中医一直建议人们不要喝冷饮。根据people should not drink cold drinks.（人们不要喝冷饮。）结合首字母s可推断出空处应填动词：建议。由For thousands of years可知句子为现在完成时，故填：suggested。

六、完成句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
9．（2分）一天，乌鸦得到了一块肉，被狐狸看到了。
One day，the crow got a piece of meat and 　was seen by　the fox.
【分析】一天，乌鸦得到了一块肉，被狐狸看到了。
【解答】根据"got"可知句子时态用一般过去时，主语和谓语动词see之间是被动关系，因此应用被动语态；一般过去时的被动语态结构为was/were+动词的过去分词，主语是单数，用was，see的过去分词是seen；"被"翻译为by。
故填：was seen by。
【点评】掌握一般过去时被动语态的结构和用法是解答本题的关键。
10．（2分）那块肉看起来很美味以致狐狸很想吃。
The meat 　looked so delicious that　the fox was eager to eat it.
【分析】那块肉看起来很美味以致狐狸很想吃。
【解答】根据题干，可知考查：look+形容词，表示看起来……的；so...that如此……以至于……；delicious美味的。由句意可知时态是一般过去时。
故答案为：looked so delicious that。
【点评】做这类题型，首先根据所给汉语明确句子所要考查的单词或短语的拼写，再结合相关语法知识对单词或短语做出形式上的变化。
11．（2分）突然狐狸想到了一个好主意能轻而易举地拿到那块肉。
Suddenly，the fox 　came up with　an idea to get the meat 　easily　.
【分析】突然狐狸想到了一个好主意能轻而易举地拿到那块肉。
【解答】第一个设空处："想出"为come up with，这里是故事，用一般过去时，动词come用其过去式形式came；第二个设空处："轻而易举地"用easily。
故填：came up with；easily。
【点评】首先弄明白设空处的汉语意思，然后根据句意和具体用法确定单词或者词组的适当形式，最后作答。
12．（2分）狐狸告诉乌鸦它有优美的嗓音。
The fox told the crow 　that she had　a beautiful voice.
【分析】狐狸告诉乌鸦它有优美的嗓音。
【解答】根据中文，结合所给英语可知题干包含that引导的宾语从句，作told的宾语。主句的时态是一般过去时，宾语从句的时态也要使用过去的某种时态。have/has有，过去式是had。宾语从句的主语是she，谓语动词用had。
故答案为：that she had。
【点评】平时要多做一些英汉互译方面的练习，熟能生巧。
13．（2分）通过一个计谋，狐狸最后拿到那块肉。狐狸真聪明！
Through a trick，the fox got the meat at last. 　How clever　the fox was!
【分析】通过一个计谋，狐狸最后拿到那块肉。狐狸真聪明！
【解答】clever聪明的，根据句意可知句子是感叹句，在感叹句中，what修饰名词，how修饰形容词/副词，the fox 是主语，was是系动词，句型结构为：How +形容词+主语+谓语动词！
故答案是：How clever。
【点评】此题考查汉译英，在熟知每个汉语的英语翻译的基础上，根据语法结构，组合短语或者句子，便可得出正确答案。
