I suffered from mental illness and depression when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.
My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on.
At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.
What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.
My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.
Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.
4. How did the author deal with his depression at first
A. He turned to his old friends for help.
B. He talked about it with his parents.
C. He put up with it by himself.
D. He read many articles about it.
5. How did street dancing benefit the author
A. It helped him find a good job.
B. It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.
C. It let him find many true friends.
D. It cheered him up and made him feel positive.
6. What does the author suggest people do when they feel down
A. Always be confident in themselves.
B. Find someone or something to rescue them.
C. Wait for help to come patiently.
D. Accept everything that life sends their way,
7. How might the author feel about his future
A. Hopeful. B. Fearful. C. Satisfied. D. Uncertain.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "
It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
8. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China
A. The countryside is much poorer than me city.
B. People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C. People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there.
D. Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
9. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside
A. Because they will find good jobs.
B. Because they can make more money there.
C. Because they are tired of living in the city.
D. Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
10. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________.
A. they are happy to move back to the city
B. they miss their friends in the countryside
C. they still want to move to the countryside
D. they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
11. The best title of this passage may be “__________”.
A. A happy life! B. Living in the city!
C. Living in the countryside! D. Moving out or moving back
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文为议论文。这篇短文主要谈论的是生活在城市好还是生活在乡下好的问题，作者通过一些具体的例子说明了人们的这种矛盾心理，没有给出具体结论
【8题详解】
细节理解题。依据文章第一段 “In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside.”在中国，许多人离开农村到城市找工作，因为农村比城市贫穷得多，而且那里常常没有多少工作，在城市里，医院和交通等服务通常比农村要好得多。可知选项A、C和D项是人们到大城市的原因，只有选项B（农村人没有吃的东西）不属于人们移居到城市的原因，所以选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厌倦) the noise and the dirt of the city，可知这些富裕的家庭想过安静的生活。他们厌倦了城市的喧嚣和污垢，所以选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后三段可知，并不是所有从城市搬到农村的人都是幸福的。两三年后，许多人认为这是一个大错误。他们赚的钱不多，也没有多少工作要做。农村的人非常不同，并不总是很友好。因此，很多搬到农村的人都搬回了城市。所以当他们看到城市的人来人往感觉太好了，由此可知许多城市居住的人厌倦了乡下的生活，所以此句说他们回到了城市感到很高兴，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要谈论的是生活在城市好还是生活在乡下好的问题，并把中国与欧洲进行了对比。分析选项可知D项（从城市中搬出去还是搬进来）最为符合题意，故选D。
D
More and more travellers in China nowadays prefer homestays rather than traditional hotels, as they seek private living experiences. The house-sharing model was first introduced by a website in 2003. That website is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation without much money to spend.
Encouraged by her great experience of homestays in France, Maggita, 30, considered short-term hire as her first choice in her future trips. She later went back to her hometown Shanghai and ran a “shared accommodation” business.
The short-term hire idea has been a win-win business model. For travellers, they can rent a special room at a reasonable price and also enjoy a first-hand experience of the local culture, compared with traditional hotels. For owners, they can gain much with daily rental. Now Maggita has quit her last job in an IT company and become a host of some 20 homestays, which enables her to earn a monthly income of around 40,000-50,000 yuan.
In recent years, China has seen many homestay booking websites. Chen Chi, the founder and CEO of a homestay website, said the model is to share rooms or apartments that are not in use with people who need them. Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.
However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion. Lacking supervision（监管）to those accommodation sharing websites, the service quality and accommodation safety cannot be guaranteed. Experts suggest that online websites should closely work together with communities and local police stations to improve the services.
12. What can we learn about homestays from the first paragraph
A. They started in China. B. They offer the best service.
C. They can be money-saving. D. They are popular with the youth.
13. What does Chen Chi think of the sharing model
A. Useless. B. Relaxing. C. Uncomfortable. D. Well-accepted.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Homestay services need to be improved.
B. Some experts don’t support homestays.
C. Homestays are popular with youth only.
D. Nobody is responsible for homestay services.
15. The underlined word “guaranteed” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. protected B. shared C. focused D. preferred
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如今越来越多的中国游客喜欢寄宿家庭而不是传统的旅游酒店，并介绍了寄宿家庭这种住宿方式的起源，经营方式以及目前面临的问题。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“That website is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation without much money to spend.”（该网站仍然是最大的网站，游客可以在不花太多钱的情况下找到住宿。）可推知，寄宿家庭这种住宿方式是比较省钱的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.”（传统观点认为中国人和陌生人住在一起会感到不舒服，但陈发现，很多旅行者和房主相处得很好。）可推知，陈驰认为共享模式是被大家很好接受的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion. Lacking supervision（监管）to those accommodation sharing websites, the service quality and accommodation safety cannot be guaranteed. Experts suggest that online websites should closely work together with communities and local police stations to improve the services.”（然而，专家们指出了这种时尚带来一系列问题。对住宿共享网站缺乏监管，服务质量和住宿安全得不到保障。专家建议，在线网站应与社区和当地派出所密切合作，以改善服务。）可推知，没有人对寄宿家庭服务负责。故选D项。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion.”（然而，专家们指出了这种时尚带来的一系列问题。）以及划线单词句中“Lacking supervision（监管）to those accommodation sharing websites,”（对住宿共享网站缺乏监管）由此可知，此处为服务质量和住宿安全得不到保障。故可猜测划线单词guaranteed为“保障”的意思，结合选项A项protected“保护，保障”意思一致。故选A项。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
What Can We Learn from Gu Ailing,a Famous Olympic Champion(冠军)
●Be yourself.
I’ve always dreamed big. My mom taught me that from day one. ____16____The ideas of “good” and “bad”, when it comes to the way you behave yourself, are so subjective(主观的)that if you attempt to obey them, you’ll never fully succeed. I learned that the only way to fit a mold(模式)is to create one for yourself and that takes courage.
●____17____.
Right, sometimes you feel like as a young person. Oh, I have to wait until I’m older before I can make change,or before I can really do things that are important and effective to the world. But really, I think it’s important to be a young person and to show that age doesn’t decide one’s ability, and that experience teaches more than anything else. And so, yeah, I think that is my biggest goal and it’s something that I wish I had more of growing up. ____18____ They are strong women and support my decision. They also serve as my role models.
●How to face failure.
One of my mottos(座右铭)is“If it were easy it wouldn’t be a dream.”Adversity(逆境)and possibility of failure are what make life interesting. When I learn a new trick(技巧)，it’s okay to be frightened. It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. ____19____ But then,you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more,and eventually you land that new trick. ____20____
A. Be young.
B. Find your role model.
C. It takes courage to be able to fall.
D. In the end,you achieve your big dreams.
E. I’m really thankful for my mom and my grandma.
F. She taught me the first person to believe in you must be yourself.
G. Feel free to dream big dreams and make small steps towards them.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了我们可以从谷爱凌身上学到的三个方面。
【16题详解】
本段小标题是“Be yourself.”。上文“My mom taught me that from day one.（我妈妈从第一天就教了我（一个道理）”讲到我妈妈从第一天就教了我一个道理。F项“She taught me the first person to believe in you must be yourself.（她告诉我，第一个相信你的人必须是你自己。）”中的“taught me”和前一句呼应对照。故选F项。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段小标题。根据本段的内容，尤其是本段的前三句话“Right, sometimes you feel like as a young person. Oh, I have to wait until I’m older before I can make change, or before I can really do things that are important and effective to the world. But really, I think it’s important to be a young person and to show that age doesn’t decide one’s ability,（对，有时候你觉得自己像个年轻人。哦，我必须等到我长大后才能做出改变，或者我才能真正做对世界重要和有效的事情。但事实上，我认为做一个年轻人很重要，要证明年龄并不能决定一个人的能力，）”可知，本段主要讲“要年轻”。A项“要年轻”符合题意，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“They are strong women and support my decision. They also serve as my role models.（她们是坚强的女性，支持我的决定。她们也是我的榜样。）”可知，空格处应出现“They”的指代对象。E项“I’m really thankful for my mom and my grandma.（我真的很感谢我的妈妈和奶奶。）”中的“my mom and my grandma”就是“They”的指代对象。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“ It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. ”（没关系，我可能会跌倒一百万次才能做对。）下文“But then, you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more, and eventually you land that new trick.（但是，然后，你利用你的勇气，你更加努力，练习更多，最终你获得了新的技巧）可知，空格处与下文是转折关系，讲述跌倒是需要勇气的。C项“跌倒需要勇气。”C项中的“courage”和后一句中的“bravery”呼应对照。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“But then, you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more, and eventually you land that new trick.（但是，然后，你利用你的勇气，你更加努力，练习更多，最终你获得了新的技巧）”讲到通过如何做使你最终获得了新的技巧。所以空处可以讲述获得新的技巧会带来什么。D项“In the end, you achieve your big dreams.（最终，你实现了你的远大梦想。）”承接上文，符合文意。故选D项。

As a sixth grader, I found it hard to fit in and make friends.
Our teacher had assigned (分派, 布置) “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid's name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and picked out one. By the middle of the week，everyone had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment. I walked into my classroom and noticed a package with a box of powder (胭脂粉). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. What's worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in. “How terrible,” I heard myself saying “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift My grandmother wouldn't even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks (评论) and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn't normal like me to say mean (刻薄的) things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth (厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies, I explained the reason.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face. She shouted at me with anger, “If you don’t want my gift you can just leave it instead of laughing at it. This is the best powder from my mum! “Before I could say a word, Janet dashed out, leaving me dumb with deep regret. But soon I clenched my fingers and made up my mind to find Janet and say sorry to her. There she was, sitting in a tree shadow wiping her eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies, I explained the reason. I was not a mean girl by judging people’s presents. The reason why I complained in front of the girls was that I wanted to fit in, having a sense of belonging in the group. Hearing my sincere words, Janet calmed herself down after constant sobs and said, “True friendship comes from genuine care and love for each other. I think that’s our teacher’s intention of this ‘secret friend’ assignment”. That day, I learned to cherish real friendship.

I suffered from mental illness and depression when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.
My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on.
At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.
What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.
My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.
Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "
It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
8. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China
A The countryside is much poorer than me city.
B. People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C. People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there.
D. Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
9. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside
A. Because they will find good jobs.
B. Because they can make more money there.
C. Because they are tired of living in the city.
D. Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
10. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________.
A. they are happy to move back to the city
B. they miss their friends in the countryside
C. they still want to move to the countryside
D. they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
11. The best title of this passage may be “__________”.
A. A happy life! B. Living in the city!
C. Living in the countryside! D. Moving out or moving back
D
More and more travellers in China nowadays prefer homestays rather than traditional hotels, as they seek private living experiences. The house-sharing model was first introduced by a website in 2003. That website is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation without much money to spend.
Encouraged by her great experience of homestays in France, Maggita, 30, considered short-term hire as her first choice in her future trips. She later went back to her hometown Shanghai and ran a “shared accommodation” business.
The short-term hire idea has been a win-win business model. For travellers, they can rent a special room at a reasonable price and also enjoy a first-hand experience of the local culture, compared with traditional hotels. For owners, they can gain much with daily rental. Now Maggita has quit her last job in an IT company and become a host of some 20 homestays, which enables her to earn a monthly income of around 40,000-50,000 yuan.
In recent years, China has seen many homestay booking websites. Chen Chi, the founder and CEO of a homestay website, said the model is to share rooms or apartments that are not in use with people who need them. Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.
However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion. Lacking supervision（监管）to those accommodation sharing websites, the service quality and accommodation safety cannot be guaranteed. Experts suggest that online websites should closely work together with communities and local police stations to improve the services.
12. What can we learn about homestays from the first paragraph
A. They started in China. B. They offer the best service.
C. They can be money-saving. D. They are popular with the youth.
13. What does Chen Chi think of the sharing model
A. Useless. B. Relaxing. C. Uncomfortable. D. Well-accepted.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Homestay services need to be improved.
B. Some experts don’t support homestays.
C. Homestays are popular with youth only.
D Nobody is responsible for homestay services.
15. The underlined word “guaranteed” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. protected B. shared C. focused D. preferred

As a sixth grader, I found it hard to fit in and make friends.
Our teacher had assigned (分派, 布置) “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid's name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and picked out one. By the middle of the week，everyone had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment. I walked into my classroom and noticed a package with a box of powder (胭脂粉). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. What's worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in. “How terrible,” I heard myself saying “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift My grandmother wouldn't even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks (评论) and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn't normal like me to say mean (刻薄的) things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth (厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face.

Along with my apologies, I explained the reason.
