A
When I was a child, I stayed with my grandmother a lot of the time while my mother was at work. One day some money problems started to arise for my grandmother and the family. They needed a little more income so she decided to sing at the nearby retirement home(养老院).
So I had to go with her. I wasn't sure about it at first, but as soon as my grandmother actually persuade me to get on stage and start singing, I loved it. I just loved seeing that sparkle(光亮)in those people's eyes. They would stand up and dance and clap to the beat of the music. Eventually, we were singing at many of the homes in the surrounding area 5 out of 7 days a week.
Making other people happy has always made me happy. And during that experience I even discovered my gift, singing. My grandma still sings to those people 15 years later, only for no charge now. I moved to North Carolina when I was 13, leaving my grandma in Florida, but I still carry on her effort and try and go out of my way to do something kind, even if very small, for at least one person every day. There is no better feeling in the world than the one you get when you hear appreciation in someone's voice.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice increased quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
24. Animals are important to us mainly because ________.
A. they give us a source of food B. they are beautiful and lovely
C. they keep the balance of nature D. they give us a lot of pleasure

C. The number of some animals in danger will increase.
D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people.

Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflected the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests.
For teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Lakers name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in1960.
Because the Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “Jazz Capital of the World”. The name stayed with the team even after they found a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.
The original owner of the Chicago Bulls, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. The Bulls, the winner of the six NBA championships, has definitely followed the belief.
In 1967, the Indiana Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to achieve in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball.
28. Why is the Los Angeles’ team named “the Lakers”
A. The name was selected from a “Name the Team” contest.
B. The name shows that Los Angeles is a city with various lakes.
C. It was named after a city treasure, which had a long history.
D. The team got this name in another state, which had a lot of lakes.
29. Which of the following refers to the “Jazz Capital of the World”
A. New Orleans. B. Salt Lake City. C. Los Angeles. D. Minneapolis.
30. Why did Richard Klein name the Chicago’s team the Bulls
A. He had guessed the success of the team.
B. People in Chicago used to like watching bullfighting.
C. He wished the team to have the qualities of fighting bulls.
D. Chicago was then a city famous for fighting bulls.
31. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text
A. Life. B. Sports. C. Society. D. Education.
D
When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she pick up one chopstick, taking it as one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, taking them as a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
With three generations of Ans working together, now the Ans' business makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How to Run a Corporation Well B. Strength Comes from Peace
C. How to Achieve a Big Dream D. Family Unity Builds Success
33. What can we infer about the An’s daughters
A. They went out to work for themselves before graduation.
B. They all would not like to work in their family business.
C. They were deeply influenced by what Helene taught them.
D. There always were disagreements among family members
34. Helene once used chopsticks to show ______.
A. the quality of the chopsticks B. the difficulty of being united
C. the strength of family unity D. how to be a strong person
35. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An’s family ______.
A. began to run a restaurant in 1975 B. left Vietnam without much money
C. bought a restaurant in Los Angeles D. opened a sandwich shop in San Francisco

I was a volunteer for an organisation at the beginning of this year. The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event.
Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset.
Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today. ”
“Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left,” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.
While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading.
After a while, he asked, “What is cancer ”
I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it. ”
“Do children suffer from cancer, too ” asked the boy.
“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. ” Lisa said and I nodded.
Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected ”
Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much. ”
The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？”

【原文】Thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here today. This conference has offered a good opportunity for concerned people to meet and exchange ideas on these important issues. There are many positive water projects in progress around the world. I'm going to start with two examples and then later we'll consider them in detail. The first is here in the United States, near El Paso, Texas in a small town called San Elizario. San Elizario is a very poor town, and until just recently people there did not have a water system in the town, so water for drinking, cooking, and toilets was difficult to get. The water authorities had told the town repeatedly that water systems would be built, but it never happened. Finally, the women in the town had enough, and they decided to do something about the problem. They got together and built a water system for themselves. Obviously, they had to learn as they went along. But they built things themselves and raised the money throughout the project, and they did it. The lives of the families in San Elizario have changed because they now have enough water for everyday activities. People from nearby towns that still don't have water systems have visited the town to get ideas about how they might set up something similar. This is a real success story. Another example of a successful project is in India…

In1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”.（在前往洛杉矶之前，该队从明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯出发。1947年，球队官方将球队名称改为湖人队，以反映明尼苏达州的绰号“万湖之乡”。）”可知，湖人队在搬到洛杉矶之前是在明尼苏达的Minneapolis城，这个地方有很多湖泊，由此得名为湖人队，后来才搬到洛杉矶。因此可知，这支球队在另一个有很多湖泊的州获得了这个名字。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Because the Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “Jazz Capital of the World”.（因为爵士队起源于路易斯安那州的新奥尔良，所以被称为爵士队。1974年，新奥尔良俱乐部官方选择这个名字来代表这座享有“世界爵士乐之都”美誉的城市。）”可知，犹他爵士队原来是在路易斯安娜的新奥尔良市，他们取名爵士是为了纪念新奥尔良市作为世界爵士乐之都的荣耀。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段“He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name.(他选择这个名字是因为斗牛是无情的，永不放弃。Klein在1966年创立了该俱乐部，他相信这些品质对于一支冠军球队来说是必要的，并希望他的芝加哥运动员能够名符其实。)”可推知，Klein选择公牛为名是希望这支球队能够像公牛一样永不放弃追求胜利。故选C。
27．推理判断题。第一段第一句提到“Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflected the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests.（你有没有想过你最喜欢的NBA球队是如何得名的 所有NBA球队的名字背后都有一个有趣的故事或历史。有些名字反映了这座城市的文化或历史，有些则来自以前的主人，还有许多名字是通过“命名团队”比赛选出的。）”后文提到了湖人队、爵士队、公牛队和步行者队四支队伍名字的由来，由此判断，本文讲述的是关于体育方面的内容，因此可以从报纸的体育专栏读到这篇文章。故选B。
28．C 29．D 30．B 31．C

38．根据上文“Typically, parents don’t give middle children as much attention as the firstborn or the youngest.(通常情况下，父母不会像第一个或最小的孩子那样给予中间的孩子太多的关注)”可知，中间出生的孩子不会得到太多父母的关注，所以本句说明结果：让他们觉得自己被忽视了。B选项中them指的是上文middle children，故B选项“这通常会让他们觉得自己被忽视了”符合语境，故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是过去三十年里，政府、社会组织和当地农民共同努力控制Kubuqi沙漠的荒漠化所付出的努力以及取得的成效。
56．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，在过去的30年里，政府、社会组织和当地农民共同努力控制Kubuqi沙漠的荒漠化。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语in the past 30 years可知，应用现在完成时，且work与句子主语“the government, social organizations and local farmers”之间为主动关系，主语表示复数概念。故填have worked。
57．考查介词。句意：但由于气候变化和人类的过度开发，农田逐渐变成了沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语due to，意为“由于，因为”符合句意。故填to。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：随着第一条穿越沙漠的公路在这里建成，人们开始在整个沙漠种植树木。分析句子结构可知，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的结构，其中宾语the first highway与非谓语动词build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经完成，所以使用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。故填built。
59．考查冠词。句意：随着第一条穿越沙漠的公路在这里建成，人们开始在整个沙漠种植树木。结合句意可知，此处特指上文的库布齐沙漠，用定冠词the。故填the。
60．考查副词。句意：最终，他们的辛勤工作激发了“Kubuqi 精神”，鼓励当地人极力奉献给沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰整个句子，ultimate的副词为ultimately意为“最终”所以应用副词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Ultimately。

65．考查连词。句意：Meng Keda的家族世代生活在Kubuqi沙漠深处，2006年，他开始做旅游生意，去年赚了30万元。分析句子结构可知，“began a tourism business”与“earned about 300,000 yuan”之间为并列结构，结合句意，两者之间为并列关系，所以此处使用并列连词and。故填and。
66．Dear James,
I am sorry to hear about your holiday fatigue. But take it easy, I have been there, too. And here is something to share with you.
For lack of adequate rest and physical activity, it is normal to feel more tired after a holiday, especially when you immerse yourself in the virtual world. From my personal experience, apart from getting enough sleep, holiday fatigue can also be relieved by doing sports. That’s because exercise can energize your body physically. Meditating also works, during which you can focus on your breath and enjoy inner peace.
Whichever way you choose to ease holiday fatigue, I hope it does work and bring you a healing holiday.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

67．The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldn’t believe such a little boy would care. Though we didn’t believe it, we said “yes”. The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five dollar bills. He said, “I just asked for them from my mother. I really want to help the children suffering from cancer. ”
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. We thanked the boy, but he left soon. Looking at his back, both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged. We wanted to try harder to raise money. So instead of just standing there, we went to people and told them about our programme. At the end of the day, we raised over three thousand dollars, a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning.
