二、阅读理解
A
Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.
My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.
This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.
The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here!” rang through the warm kitchen. Dad’s active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆). This disease had robbed (剥夺) him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.
In my younger years, playing with Dad was not often. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion. His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.
I’m not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire. I know that that moment will certainly last forever. This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure.

19．What is the main idea of the text
A．Small holiday moments add up to lasting memories.
B．A Christmas dinner will be remember forever.
C．The disable people should never give up.
D．Communication with family is very important.
B
When I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He thought that going to college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.
It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. There is always a smile on my lips.

三、七选五
How to calm your teen
A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can you help your teen stay calm before an exam
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s study. 24 What he looks for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with him quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don’t let him focus on those fears.
Help him get organized. 25 Together, you and your teen can work out a timetable in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy.
Give him a nutritious diet. It’s important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam time to focus and do his best. 26 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
27 Persuade your teen to get some sleep or do something active when he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise is important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his time so that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 28 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly, reassure (使安心) your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A．Encourage your teen to relax.
B．The best thing is simply to listen.
C．They will only make the situation worse.
D．Parents’ attitude will influence their teen’s emotions.
E．Exam stress can make some teens have no desire for food.
F．Your teen may also make negative comments about himself.
G．Help your teen think about what he has to study and plan accordingly.

五、读后续写
44．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。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hurriedly and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.

参考答案：
1．digging　
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：救援人员确定下面没有人了，当晚停止了挖掘。由“Rescue workers made sure that no one else was down there”可知，句子表示“救援人员确定下面没有人了，当晚停止了挖掘”，stop doing sth.表示“停止做某事”，指停止正在做的事情，因此空格处用动名词digging作宾语，故填digging。
2． respectable respectful　
【详解】考查形容词。句意： 我父亲是我最尊敬的人之一。我一直很尊敬他，因为他对家庭的奉献精神。第一个空表示“值得尊敬的”，故用形容词respectable作定语； 第二个空表示“恭敬的”，故用形容词respectful作表语，故填①respectable②respectful。
3．for　
【详解】考查固定用法。句意：尽管那个小男孩只有三岁，但是他有音乐天赋。have a talent for...是固定短语，意为“有……天赋”。故填for。
4．to buy　
【详解】考查不定式。句意：老师建议对诗歌感兴趣的学生买一本李白的诗集。advise sb. to do sth.意为“建议某人做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to buy。故填to buy。
5．ignoring　
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们坚持在深夜演奏音乐，完全无视我的建议。分析句子结构可知，句中有谓语insisted，且前后无连词，此处为非谓语作状语，因动词ignore与主语They之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填ignoring。
6．approaching
【详解】考查现在分词。句意：随着春节的临近，人们正忙着准备美味的食物和打扫房子。此处是with的复合结构，动词approach和宾语the Spring Festival之间为主动关系，故本空应用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填approaching。
7．educating　
【详解】考查动名词。句意：最后，他意识到他应该采取一种更科学的方法来教育他的孩子。an approach to...表示“……的方法/方式”，此处to为介词，其后应接动名词作宾语。故填educating。
8．talented
【详解】考查形容词。句意：她才华横溢，成功只是时间问题。分析句子可知，该句为so+形容词+that…引导的结果状语从句，所以此处为形容词的填入。故填talented。
9．on/upon
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：在写海报的时候，你应该注意你的书写。分析句意再根据focus可知，此处用介词on/upon构成固定短语focus on/upon表示“集中于、主意”。故填on/upon。
10．professional
【详解】考查形容词。句意：当我父亲还是个小孩子时，他想成为一名职业足球运动员。根据空后名词football player可知，空处应为形容词做定语，故填professional。
11．ignorance
【详解】考查名词。句意：一个人只有在学习中才能发现自己的无知。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，作宾语，ignorance“无知”是不可数名词，故填ignorance。

【详解】考查形容词。句意：这些衣服适合在非正式场合穿。根据空前系动词are可知，空处应为形容词作表语，结合句意空处表示“合适的”，故填suitable。
13．talented
【详解】考查形容词。句意：如果我们不尝试，我们永远不会知道自己对一门学科是否感兴趣或有天赋。根据空格前的系动词are可知，空格处应填形容词和interested作并列表语，结合句意“有天资的”是talented。故填talented。
14．respects
【详解】考查名词。句意：当你回到家乡时，请你向你的父母表达我的敬意好吗？根据空格前的代词my可知，空格处应填名词作宾语，名词respect意为“敬意，问候”时常用复数形式。故填respects。

16．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad.(快到爸爸身边时，他停了下来。爸爸的手颤抖着，满是皱纹，他伸手去拿球。他没有说话，男孩困惑地看着我们。几秒钟后，他小心翼翼地把球传给爸爸。)”可知，作者的侄子一开始对父亲的要求的反应是很犹豫，故选D。
17．推理判断题。根据第四段“Dad’s active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆). This disease had robbed (剥夺) him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.(爸爸对这个游戏的积极参与对我来说是非同寻常的，因为他患有痴呆症。这种疾病夺走了他的许多记忆和对人、地点和时间点的认识。尽管如此，爸爸还是清楚地认出了这个球，知道他可以用它做什么。)”可知，父亲在游戏中的积极参与让作者感到惊讶是因为作者爸爸有痴呆症，但是他能识别球并做出相应的反应，故选C。
18．细节理解题。根据第四段“Dad’s active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆). This disease had robbed (剥夺) him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. (爸爸对这个游戏的积极参与对我来说是非同寻常的，因为他患有痴呆症。这种疾病夺走了他的许多记忆和对人、地点和时间点的认识。)”可知，作者父亲的病使他很难认出人来。故选B。
19．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“I’m not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire. I know that that moment will certainly last forever. This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure.(我不确定我们玩了多久。看时钟并不重要。爸爸高高兴兴地领着我们，直到他开始累了。我知道那一刻一定会永远持续下去。这个圣诞节，爸爸给了我一个特别的回忆——一个我将永远珍惜的回忆。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者的爸爸虽然有痴呆，但是在圣诞节他和作者的侄子玩儿球的经历成为作者永恒的回忆，因此本文主旨是A选项“Small holiday moments add up to lasting memories.(小小的假期时刻累积起来就是永恒的回忆。)”，故选A。
20．A 21．A 22．D 23．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一对关系很僵的父子通过一起钓鱼讲出了各自的心结从而重归于好的故事。

He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. (我们总是有完全不同的意见。他认为上大学是浪费时间，但对我来说，完成大学学业很重要。他想让我像他在他的领域那样，一路奋斗到顶峰，但我想要一种不同的生活)”可知，作者和父亲关系变得疏远的原因是他们对事情的看法总是不一致，故选A。
21．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement. (当他打电话来问我能否从科罗拉多州搬回田纳西州去帮助他时，我知道他病得很重。我是他唯一的孩子，所以是时候满足父亲的要求了)”可知，作者决定从科罗拉多搬回田纳西，是因为父亲生病需要作者照顾。故选A。
22．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart. (这很奇怪，但事实是，当我们钓鱼的时候，我们能够把让我们分开这么多年的事情抛在脑后。我们能够谈论以前从未谈论过的事情。钓鱼治愈了我们之间的旧伤)”可知，作者和父亲一起钓鱼，忘记了两人之间多年的隔阂，一起谈论以前从未谈过的话题，由此可推断，作者和父亲一起钓鱼这件事为父子俩提供了交流的机会。故选D。
23．主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合最后一段中“It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. (我们钓多少鱼并不重要。而是要享受我们多年来没有的关系)”可知，文章开始讲了作者因为总是跟父亲意见不同而离开家多年，后来因为父亲生了重病，作者要回家照顾父亲。回家后父亲同作者一起做作者幼时与父亲都喜欢做的事情——钓鱼，渐渐地两个人话多了起来，父子俩之间的距离拉近了，故D项“钓鱼让我们更亲近”适合作为文章标题。故选D。

I promise.” Forcing a smile, the mother reached for another chocolate and passed it to the boy. “A reward for your perfect repair.” Staring at the chocolates, the boy hesitated but still continued to deny everything. Before he could say anything, a third chocolate appeared in his hand, with his mom’s soft voice “And this one is for your bravery. You are brave enough to stick to your decision.”
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. It seemed that everything was all at Mom’s fingertips. Speechless, the boy felt a lump in his throat. He lowered his head in shame and stammered out the truth. “Mom, I’m so sorry that I broke your vase and lied to you. I was too terrified because it’s your favourite antique.” Relieved and delighted, the mother cradled him in her arms and whispered, “Good boy… It’s never too late to mend.” With the chocolate box handed to the boy, Mom said delightedly, “These ones are all for your honesty, my boy! Do remember that honesty values more than any antique.”
