After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight (视力) would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally.On the way home from hospital, no one said a word.One day, would I only imagine the scenery (景色) beyond the glass rather than see it
That September, I entered middle school.Most nights I had homework that included a pile of books to read.To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task.With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices (设备) like kids do now.Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud.Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma.In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork.She put on her reading glasses.Mom always thought those glasses made her look old.To me, she looked like a teacher.
In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock.Being forced to focus on (集中) listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids.When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence.Teachers praised me for having a good memory.Reading removed (消除) my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed.Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to“see”．This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.

Everyone needs a healthy diet plan. This is especially important when we are first making the change to a new food lifestyle. I say lifestyle, because diets just don't work. You will always find yourself struggling as long as you think of your eating habits based on a diet rather than a lifestyle.
What you eat will be determined from what you believe about health and nutrition. If you believe there is no connection between health and the food you eat, you will eat whatever “tastes right” to you, no matter what it is doing to your health. However, if you believe that the human body is an unbelievable self-healing (自愈的) machine that only requires the right fuel (nutrition) to maintain health, then you will choose your foods thus.
A healthy diet plan must be based on what is best for your body. If you are concerned about your taste buds (味蕾), don't worry they will catch up. They have likely been programmed to think they want fats and salts. It may be hard for you to imagine doing without all those processed foods you've been eating. But it won't be long after you start following a healthy diet plan that your taste buds will long for what is really good for you.
It will take some time for your body to acclimate_to your new diet plan, just as developing any new positive habit does. But trust me, your body knows what it needs. Once you start feeding it the nutrition it requires, your body, including your taste, will respond positively.
The healthy diet plan we advise is one that includes as much whole, raw food as possible. Our personal meal planning includes a lot of raw food, whole foods and little to no animal products. Our meal plans include as many dark green and other brightly colored vegetables as possible.
The final tip I have for you as you make the change to a healthy diet meal plan is knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. Having the right knowledge will be one of your keys to success.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了健康饮食计划的相关知识。8.What should we change first to have a healthy diet plan
A．Our lifestyle. B．Our eating habits.
C．Our taste buds. D．Our ways of thinking.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，只有先改变生活方式才可能改变饮食习惯。
9．What does the author expect us to do according to Paragraph 2
A．Eat whatever tastes right.
B．Take foods for your health.
C．Exercise on a regular basis.
D．Eat foods rich in fats and salts.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，暗示只吃自己喜欢的食物这样的主张是不对的，会危害身体健康。结合整段可看出作者希望读者树立正确的饮食观念，从而选择健康食物。
10．What can we infer from the passage about our taste buds
A．They will stick to what we are used to eating.
B．They will become weak if we change our diet.
C．They can only respond to refined foods.
D．They can change with our diet plan.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可推断，味蕾是会适应人改变的生活习惯的。
11．What does the underlined phrase “ acclimate to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Object to. B．Get used to.
C．Survive from. D．Get over.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句以及第三句可知，身体会适应饮食计划的改变。所以“acclimate to”应为“适应”之意，与B项意思相近。
D
In the South Atlantic Ocean, there is an island called Tristan da Cunha, which is a six day boat ride from the nearest town Cape Town in South Africa. There's no airport on Tristan. Every month or so, a boat will bring visitors but not many. The boat will also bring mail and supplies. You can only see about 270 people, 300 cows, 500 sheep, and a whole lot of penguins there.
The British tried to build a military base there in 1816. They gave up after a year. But a soldier and his family talked a few people into staying. Those people slowly built a community. Few trees grow on the island. So they found wood that washed ashore. They used it to build homes and boats. For food, they raised cows, sheep and pigs. They fished and planted potatoes. They promised to share everything they had. Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan. But for many years, no one there used money. Instead, people on the island traded potatoes for supplies. It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail.
Today, nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer. The island's main industry is fishing. It has a single factory that cans fish.
Several times, bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan. In 1885, men died in a boat accident. That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the island. Still, everyone stayed. In 1961, a bigger disaster stuck. The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All 290 people on the island moved to England. But soon, nearly all of them moved back to the island and rebuilt their town.
What's so special about life on this lonely island For islanders like Harold Green, that's an easy question to answer. Green has lived on Tristan his whole life. He left when the volcano erupted. But England was too loud and too crowded for him. He came back because the island is peaceful.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了南大西洋上的一座叫Tristan da Cunha的小岛，介绍了岛上的基本情况，以及居民的生活和经历等。

A．Fish. B．Wood.
C．Sheep. D．Potatoes.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead, people on the island traded potatoes for supplies. ”可知，过去在Tristan人们用土豆当作金钱。
13．What made all the Tristan islander move to England in 1961
A．A deadly boat accident.
B．A terrible natural disaster.
C．The attraction of modern life.
D．The building of a British military base.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 1961, a bigger disaster stuck. The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All 290 people on the island moved to England.”可知，一次可怕的自然灾害使Tristan岛民在1961年搬到了英国。
14．How does Harold Green feel about his life on Tristan
A．Bored. B．Hopeful.
C．Satisfied. D．Regretful.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，Harold Green对岛上的生活是满意的。
15．What does the text mainly introduce
A．A lonely island.
B．A special lifestyle.
C．A famous fishing town.
D．A popular tourist attraction.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句和第三句可知，本文主要介绍了一个叫Tristan da Cunha的小岛，以及岛上居民的生活经历，每个月都会有游客前来游玩，说明文章主要介绍了一个受欢迎的旅游景点。

1．学生的现状；
2．你的观点和理由。
注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；
2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
As students, we usually attach more importance to our scores. We tend to devote most of the time to our study, neglecting the importance of exercising. As a result, some students are poor in health and some are facing the problem of obesity.
However, I strongly believe that a healthy lifestyle is much more important. A healthy lifestyle means healthy food and doing exercise, which will benefit us a lot. A balanced diet and everyday exercise will keep us fit and energetic. And with a healthy body, we will be happy and confident, making it possible for us to study better. So to get a good score, we should first have a healthy lifestyle.
第二节(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。
I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success but I was a failure. Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a dramatic producing company, and had been going into small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But, in the summer of 1940, the country was in a depression, radio had changed people's tastes, and part-time shows weren't all that big any more. So, jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home.Later I got a job as a recreation-room director in my hometown. It paid $50 a month, for which I was grateful, but it sure was a dull job.
I felt so frustrated with my plan to be a dramatic star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was, it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to teach some of my town's children music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes that I'd picked up during my years living around country folk.I gave this country girl a name — Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in and said, “We're going to have a bankers' meeting here.I understand you've been teaching some children dramatics and dancing and singing.Would you let the children entertain the bankers ”I said, yes.Suddenly, he turned and added, “Oh, by the way, the speaker from Chicago is flying here.If he's late, would you mind doing that Minnie Pearl thing ”I told Jim I'd do it.
That night the children sang and danced to old-time, popular songs when I was backstage.After we finished the performance, Jim came to me.“The speaker's not here yet.You'll have to help us.”“All right，” I told him, “just give me a minute to dress up.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
Then I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience.
Paragraph 2：
Then I walked off the stage into the audience, and a banker greeted me.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
Then I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience.I said, “I'd like to give you my performance of a country girl.” I started telling them about the wonderful stories and jokes.And the bankers were laughing and applauding.When I ran out of stories, I looked over at Jim Walker, and he shook his head.So I started singing old country songs.At the end of the second song, Jim came over to me and said, “The speaker's here.You can stop now.”
Paragraph 2：
Then I walked off the stage into the audience, and a banker greeted me.He told me he knew Harry Stone, the manager of the great country music station in Nashville.Later he recommended me to Harry Stone.Harry Stone had me come up for an interview and offered me a good job.That changed my whole life.It was the beginning of Minnie Pearl, and, to me, the end of my “failure” and the beginning of a new way to share fun with others and look at things.UNIT 1 单元验收评价(二) 仿真高考检测

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight (视力) would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally.On the way home from hospital, no one said a word.One day, would I only imagine the scenery (景色) beyond the glass rather than see it
That September, I entered middle school.Most nights I had homework that included a pile of books to read.To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task.With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices (设备) like kids do now.Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud.Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma.In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork.She put on her reading glasses.Mom always thought those glasses made her look old.To me, she looked like a teacher.
In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock.Being forced to focus on (集中) listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids.When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence.Teachers praised me for having a good memory.Reading removed (消除) my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed.Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to“see”．This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.

Everyone needs a healthy diet plan. This is especially important when we are first making the change to a new food lifestyle. I say lifestyle, because diets just don't work. You will always find yourself struggling as long as you think of your eating habits based on a diet rather than a lifestyle.
What you eat will be determined from what you believe about health and nutrition. If you believe there is no connection between health and the food you eat, you will eat whatever “tastes right” to you, no matter what it is doing to your health. However, if you believe that the human body is an unbelievable self-healing (自愈的) machine that only requires the right fuel (nutrition) to maintain health, then you will choose your foods thus.
A healthy diet plan must be based on what is best for your body. If you are concerned about your taste buds (味蕾), don't worry they will catch up. They have likely been programmed to think they want fats and salts. It may be hard for you to imagine doing without all those processed foods you've been eating. But it won't be long after you start following a healthy diet plan that your taste buds will long for what is really good for you.
It will take some time for your body to acclimate_to your new diet plan, just as developing any new positive habit does. But trust me, your body knows what it needs. Once you start feeding it the nutrition it requires, your body, including your taste, will respond positively.
The healthy diet plan we advise is one that includes as much whole, raw food as possible. Our personal meal planning includes a lot of raw food, whole foods and little to no animal products. Our meal plans include as many dark green and other brightly colored vegetables as possible.
The final tip I have for you as you make the change to a healthy diet meal plan is knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. Having the right knowledge will be one of your keys to success.
A．Our lifestyle. B．Our eating habits.
C．Our taste buds. D．Our ways of thinking.
9．What does the author expect us to do according to Paragraph 2
A．Eat whatever tastes right.
B．Take foods for your health.
C．Exercise on a regular basis.
D．Eat foods rich in fats and salts.
10．What can we infer from the passage about our taste buds
A．They will stick to what we are used to eating.
B．They will become weak if we change our diet.
C．They can only respond to refined foods.
D．They can change with our diet plan.
11．What does the underlined phrase “ acclimate to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Object to. B．Get used to.
C．Survive from. D．Get over.

In the South Atlantic Ocean, there is an island called Tristan da Cunha, which is a six day boat ride from the nearest town Cape Town in South Africa. There's no airport on Tristan. Every month or so, a boat will bring visitors but not many. The boat will also bring mail and supplies. You can only see about 270 people, 300 cows, 500 sheep, and a whole lot of penguins there.
The British tried to build a military base there in 1816. They gave up after a year. But a soldier and his family talked a few people into staying. Those people slowly built a community. Few trees grow on the island. So they found wood that washed ashore. They used it to build homes and boats. For food, they raised cows, sheep and pigs. They fished and planted potatoes. They promised to share everything they had. Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan. But for many years, no one there used money. Instead, people on the island traded potatoes for supplies. It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail.
Today, nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer. The island's main industry is fishing. It has a single factory that cans fish.
Several times, bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan. In 1885, men died in a boat accident. That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the island. Still, everyone stayed. In 1961, a bigger disaster stuck. The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All 290 people on the island moved to England. But soon, nearly all of them moved back to the island and rebuilt their town.
What's so special about life on this lonely island For islanders like Harold Green, that's an easy question to answer. Green has lived on Tristan his whole life. He left when the volcano erupted. But England was too loud and too crowded for him. He came back because the island is peaceful.
12．What was used as money on Tristan in the past
A．Fish. B．Wood.
C．Sheep. D．Potatoes.
13．What made all the Tristan islander move to England in 1961
A．A deadly boat accident.
B．A terrible natural disaster.
C．The attraction of modern life.
D．The building of a British military base.
14．How does Harold Green feel about his life on Tristan
A．Bored. B．Hopeful.
C．Satisfied. D．Regretful.
15．What does the text mainly introduce
A．A lonely island.
B．A special lifestyle.
C．A famous fishing town.
D．A popular tourist attraction.

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。
I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success but I was a failure. Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a dramatic producing company, and had been going into small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But, in the summer of 1940, the country was in a depression, radio had changed people's tastes, and part-time shows weren't all that big any more. So, jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home.Later I got a job as a recreation-room director in my hometown. It paid $50 a month, for which I was grateful, but it sure was a dull job.
I felt so frustrated with my plan to be a dramatic star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was, it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to teach some of my town's children music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes that I'd picked up during my years living around country folk.I gave this country girl a name — Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in and said, “We're going to have a bankers' meeting here.I understand you've been teaching some children dramatics and dancing and singing.Would you let the children entertain the bankers ”I said, yes.Suddenly, he turned and added, “Oh, by the way, the speaker from Chicago is flying here.If he's late, would you mind doing that Minnie Pearl thing ”I told Jim I'd do it.
That night the children sang and danced to old-time, popular songs when I was backstage.After we finished the performance, Jim came to me.“The speaker's not here yet.You'll have to help us.”“All right，” I told him, “just give me a minute to dress up.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
Then I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience.
Paragraph 2：
Then I walked off the stage into the audience, and a banker greeted me.
