A
I woke up this morning and it was harder to get out of bed than usual. I didn't sleep well because I was very nervous and anxious. I had many questions. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag What if no one talks to me I finally fell asleep around 5:45 a.m. and my alarm(闹钟) started going off at 6. Well it was time for me to start my first day of senior high school.
My first class wasn't too bad. I had to listen to my English teacher and take notes about the important topics, but it was a pretty relaxing class. My other classes that followed were pretty much the same. Not too many organizations had formed yet from what I could see but then again, lunch hadn't started yet. Thinking about all of this made me wonder where I would sit during lunchtime. I was hoping I wouldn't feel too lonely and would find a good table to sit at and enjoy my lunch.
I chose a pizza and an orange soda. I was thankful that the food didn't taste terrible. More importantly, I managed to find some new friends to sit with so I wouldn't have that in my mind for the rest of the day. I was just happy that I had a great lunchtime.
My first day at school was almost over when I felt a tap on my shoulder in Chemistry class. It was a girl named Samantha asking if she could read my textbook with me because she left hers at home. I told her yes and invited her to sit next to me. When the bell sounded for the end of the class, we exchanged numbers to hang out after school. I felt like my day couldn't have gone any more smoothly. I just had one more class to get through and I would be done for the day.

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA's survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland not only is the top European country but also competes with Asian giants(巨头) like China, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the education system in this small country so different from others in the western world
Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7-16-year-pulsory education(义务教育) begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool(幼儿园) as well.
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.
All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances of education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and the poor, as in America or other Western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and very bad students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.
5.What does the author want to show by mentioning China, Singapore and South Korea in the first paragraph
A.Asian countries are successful in school education.
B.The school system in Finland has been very successful.
C.Students in these countries are better than those in European countries.
D.The education system in Asia is different from that in the western world.
6.What did the Finnish government do in the middle of the1960s
A.They changed the school system.
B.They lengthened(延长) preschool education.
C.They encouraged students to go to private schools.
D.They learned modern education from neighboring countries.
7.What can we learn from the text
A.The children in Finland are educated equally.
B.The children in Finland get compulsory education at the age of six.
C.The school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore.
D.The schools in Finland don't meet international standards.
8.What can be the best title for the text
A.What Differences European Schools Have
B.What Good Schools Provide Students with
C.Why Finland's School System Is Successful
D.Why Finland's School System Has Changed

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap
(包装）.
On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is. ” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless” “pitiful”and “dying”，which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “ Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives，that’ll be Christmas enough. v As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What He’s all right ” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry. From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them that happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!

When I was a senior high school student, mathematics looked like a big barrier(障碍) for me and several of my classmates. Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher, was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, and pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not forget any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us couldn't sit still and seemed anxious one day as the mid-term exams were coming, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There's too much to do," we sighed. "We're frightened that we'll never manage to finish revising before the exam." "Nothing is impossible," Mr Iyer told us. "This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have problems reaching here " We replied with blank stares(面无表情的凝视).
"No, you don't!" he said, answering his own question. "You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps(大跨步). You simply take one step at a time. Any problem can be solved if you concentrate on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself if you keep at it. One step at a time. That's the secret." Then he wrote down an old motto that left a deep impression on me on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟), we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
At last, most of my classmates scored highly in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer's invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.
13.What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.The way Mr Iyer taught his students maths.
B.The reason why maths was hard for the author.
C.The students' points of view on Mr Iyer's character.
D.The brief introduction of the author's maths teacher, Mr Iyer.
14.Why did Mr Iyer stop solving a mathematical problem in class
A.Mr Iyer was a little tired and wanted to have a rest.
B.Some students made trouble and affected the class.
C.The mathematical problem was rather puzzling.
D.Some students seemed impatient and upset.
15.What is the secret of reaching one's goal according to Mr Iyer
A.There is only one step between success and failure.
B.Take action quickly and make progress little by little.
C.It is important to make use of a good opportunity.
D.Don't hesitate to ask for help when meeting with barriers.
16.How does the author like Mr Iyer's advice
A.Strange and impractical. B.Incorrect and misleading.
C.Meaningful and valuable. D.Simple and uninteresting.

Evan, an eight-year-old boy, was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”

6.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五句可知,在20世纪60年代中期,芬兰政府看到了改变教育体制并使其现代化的需要,为所有7至16岁的孩子设置基础学校。故选A项。由第二段可知,芬兰政府使所有孩子都能上幼儿园,但文中并没有提到延长了幼儿园教育的时间,故B项犯了无中生有的错误;在20世纪60年代之前,受邻国的影响,一些学生在完成了6年的教育之后去了私立学校,芬兰政府后来进行了教育改革,扩大了基础教育的范围,这显然不是在鼓励学生去私立学校,芬兰政府使其教育体制现代化,并不是从邻国学习现代教育,故C、D项错误。

解析：D 词义猜测題。根据“Mum and Dad whispering such words as 'hopeless* ‘pitiful’ and ‘dying’ ” 可知，作者 听到爸爸妈妈小声地提到了“不抱希望的”“可怜的”“垂 死的”等字眼，这让作者有一种不祥的预感，作者担心弟 弟理查德会出事.故选D项。
11.答案： C
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.” 可知， 父亲第一次在作者面前流泪，说明父亲因为理查德的病情 而变得很难过，故选C项。

第二节
答案：①making②is③an④to spend⑤to⑥who/that⑦activities⑧friendly⑨what⑩will be accepted
解析：①考查动名词。mean doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“意味着做某事”。故填making。
②考查主谓一致和时态。Here be为固定句型,谓语动词采用“就近原则”,因advice为不可数名词,且文章以一般现在时为主,故填is。
③考查冠词。play a/an...part 为固定搭配,意为“起……作用”。又因important以元音音素开头,故填an。
④考查不定式。be expected to do sth.意为“被期待做某事”。故填to spend。
⑤考查介词。the path to..意为“通往……的道路”,故填介词to。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:给予总要多于接受,并记住一个关心他人的人在哪儿都是受欢迎的。设空处前面为名词,后面为谓语动词,故设空处引导定语从句。a person为先行词,从句缺少主语,指人,故填who或that。
⑦考查名词复数。group activity 表示“群体活动”,activity表示“活动”时为可数名词,由various可知应填复数名词activities。
⑧考查形容词。设空处修饰后面的名词smile,表示“友好的微笑”,故填形容词friendly。
⑨考查宾语从句。设空处前面为动词follow,后面为动词is,故此处引导宾语从句,且从句缺主语,表示“上面所提到的内容”,故填what。
⑩考查时态和语态。该句含if引导的条件状语从句,遵循主将从现的原则,且主句表示被接受,故用一般将来时的被动语态,故填will be accepted。

Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it ” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends

I woke up this morning and it was harder to get out of bed than usual. I didn't sleep well because I was very nervous and anxious. I had many questions. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag What if no one talks to me I finally fell asleep around 5:45 a.m. and my alarm(闹钟) started going off at 6. Well it was time for me to start my first day of senior high school.
My first class wasn't too bad. I had to listen to my English teacher and take notes about the important topics, but it was a pretty relaxing class. My other classes that followed were pretty much the same. Not too many organizations had formed yet from what I could see but then again, lunch hadn't started yet. Thinking about all of this made me wonder where I would sit during lunchtime. I was hoping I wouldn't feel too lonely and would find a good table to sit at and enjoy my lunch.
I chose a pizza and an orange soda. I was thankful that the food didn't taste terrible. More importantly, I managed to find some new friends to sit with so I wouldn't have that in my mind for the rest of the day. I was just happy that I had a great lunchtime.
My first day at school was almost over when I felt a tap on my shoulder in Chemistry class. It was a girl named Samantha asking if she could read my textbook with me because she left hers at home. I told her yes and invited her to sit next to me. When the bell sounded for the end of the class, we exchanged numbers to hang out after school. I felt like my day couldn't have gone any more smoothly. I just had one more class to get through and I would be done for the day.

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA's survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland not only is the top European country but also competes with Asian giants(巨头) like China, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the education system in this small country so different from others in the western world
Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7-16-year-pulsory education(义务教育) begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool(幼儿园) as well.
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.
All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances of education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and the poor, as in America or other Western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and very bad students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.
5.What does the author want to show by mentioning China, Singapore and South Korea in the first paragraph
A.Asian countries are successful in school education.
B.The school system in Finland has been very successful.
C.Students in these countries are better than those in European countries.
D.The education system in Asia is different from that in the western world.
6.What did the Finnish government do in the middle of the1960s
A.They changed the school system.
B.They lengthened(延长) preschool education.
C.They encouraged students to go to private schools.
D.They learned modern education from neighboring countries.
7.What can we learn from the text
A.The children in Finland are educated equally.
B.The children in Finland get compulsory education at the age of six.
C.The school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore.
D.The schools in Finland don't meet international standards.
8.What can be the best title for the text

B.What Good Schools Provide Students with
C.Why Finland's School System Is Successful
D.Why Finland's School System Has Changed
C
One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap
(包装）.
On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is. ” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless” “pitiful”and “dying”，which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “ Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives，that’ll be Christmas enough. v As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What He’s all right ” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry. From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them that happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!

When I was a senior high school student, mathematics looked like a big barrier(障碍) for me and several of my classmates. Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher, was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, and pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not forget any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us couldn't sit still and seemed anxious one day as the mid-term exams were coming, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There's too much to do," we sighed. "We're frightened that we'll never manage to finish revising before the exam." "Nothing is impossible," Mr Iyer told us. "This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have problems reaching here " We replied with blank stares(面无表情的凝视).
"No, you don't!" he said, answering his own question. "You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps(大跨步). You simply take one step at a time. Any problem can be solved if you concentrate on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself if you keep at it. One step at a time. That's the secret." Then he wrote down an old motto that left a deep impression on me on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟), we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
At last, most of my classmates scored highly in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer's invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.
13.What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.The way Mr Iyer taught his students maths.
B.The reason why maths was hard for the author.
C.The students' points of view on Mr Iyer's character.
D.The brief introduction of the author's maths teacher, Mr Iyer.
14.Why did Mr Iyer stop solving a mathematical problem in class
A.Mr Iyer was a little tired and wanted to have a rest.
B.Some students made trouble and affected the class.
C.The mathematical problem was rather puzzling.
D.Some students seemed impatient and upset.
15.What is the secret of reaching one's goal according to Mr Iyer
A.There is only one step between success and failure.
B.Take action quickly and make progress little by little.
C.It is important to make use of a good opportunity.
D.Don't hesitate to ask for help when meeting with barriers.
16.How does the author like Mr Iyer's advice
A.Strange and impractical. B.Incorrect and misleading.
C.Meaningful and valuable. D.Simple and uninteresting.

Evan, an eight-year-old boy, was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.

6.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五句可知,在20世纪60年代中期,芬兰政府看到了改变教育体制并使其现代化的需要,为所有7至16岁的孩子设置基础学校。故选A项。由第二段可知,芬兰政府使所有孩子都能上幼儿园,但文中并没有提到延长了幼儿园教育的时间,故B项犯了无中生有的错误;在20世纪60年代之前,受邻国的影响,一些学生在完成了6年的教育之后去了私立学校,芬兰政府后来进行了教育改革,扩大了基础教育的范围,这显然不是在鼓励学生去私立学校,芬兰政府使其教育体制现代化,并不是从邻国学习现代教育,故C、D项错误。

第二节
答案：①making②is③an④to spend⑤to⑥who/that⑦activities⑧friendly⑨what⑩will be accepted
解析：①考查动名词。mean doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“意味着做某事”。故填making。
②考查主谓一致和时态。Here be为固定句型,谓语动词采用“就近原则”,因advice为不可数名词,且文章以一般现在时为主,故填is。
③考查冠词。play a/an...part 为固定搭配,意为“起……作用”。又因important以元音音素开头,故填an。
④考查不定式。be expected to do sth.意为“被期待做某事”。故填to spend。
⑤考查介词。the path to..意为“通往……的道路”,故填介词to。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:给予总要多于接受,并记住一个关心他人的人在哪儿都是受欢迎的。设空处前面为名词,后面为谓语动词,故设空处引导定语从句。a person为先行词,从句缺少主语,指人,故填who或that。
⑦考查名词复数。group activity 表示“群体活动”,activity表示“活动”时为可数名词,由various可知应填复数名词activities。
⑧考查形容词。设空处修饰后面的名词smile,表示“友好的微笑”,故填形容词friendly。
⑨考查宾语从句。设空处前面为动词follow,后面为动词is,故此处引导宾语从句,且从句缺主语,表示“上面所提到的内容”,故填what。
⑩考查时态和语态。该句含if引导的条件状语从句,遵循主将从现的原则,且主句表示被接受,故用一般将来时的被动语态,故填will be accepted。

9.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it ” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends
