On an autumn day, a stranger rang a woman’s doorbell. The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.
The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.
Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. Our late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”
Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.
It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.
24.Why did the man come to the woman’s home
A.To find out the real situation of Karen. B.To donate money to Karen with cancer.
C.To ask for the address of a patient he was to help. D.To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.
25.How did the man’s family honor his mother
A.By continuing to offer help to those in need. B.By appealing to more people to help others.
C.By starting Random Acts of Kindness program. D.By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.
26.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness
A.The return it expects. B.The way to join it. C.How it begins. D.How it functions.
27.What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A.No pains, no gains. B.Love me, love my dog.
C.More love, more hope. D.Faith can move mountains.

By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity (毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.
While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium (钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.
Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat (出汗). So are women and children because of their smaller body size.
While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces (盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.
If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase your water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water and encourage drinking.
“Most people had better keep drinking water throughout the day, but larger amounts may be needed in the heat for an extended period of time or during exercise. If you are thirsty for water—listen to your body. But don’t overdo it,” says Zumpano.
28.How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A.By giving an example. B.By showing the findings.
C.By making a comparison. D.By putting up a question.
29.What effect may drinking too much water have on us
A.Putting on weight. B.Speeding up aging. C.Making us more active. D.Cutting sodium in blood.
30.What do we know from paragraph 4
A.We must drink less than 48 ounces of water a day.
B.Women can take in more water than men an hour.
C.We’d better drink about 64 ounces of water every day.
D.We can take in little water from fruits and vegetables.
31.What can be the best title for the text
A.What is the result of water toxicity
B.How much water is too much water
C.Why do you find it difficult to drink enough water
D.How often need we remind ourselves to drink water
D
An international design competition was held in 1955 for an art center to be built. There were 233 entries received from many countries. Danish architect J rn Utzon won the competition with his unique design of shells that looked like sails on a boat.
The construction began on March 2, 1959 and was expected to be accomplished within 4 years. However, they quickly ran into trouble. The ground was not suitable to hold the weight of the building and huge concrete foundations (混凝土地基) had to be built. Mr Utzon had also made mistakes about how many columns (柱) would be needed to support the roof, thus making the concrete shells at the risk of falling down.
Mr Utzon figured out a new way to disperse the weight of the concrete by making each shell out of a part of a perfect globe. The 14 shells look like a single piece of concrete, but they are actually built across frames (框架) of concrete to hold them in place. They weigh as much as 15 tons each. The highest roof point of the building is 67 m above sea level—the same as a 22-storey high building.
This major correction saved the project but added one decade to the building time. The building consists mainly of two main halls, a number of smaller theaters, performance halls and other additional facilities. Both main halls are housed in relatively large sail-shaped structures, and the smaller performance halls are housed at the ground floor. In particular, the grand organ (风琴) in the concert hall is one of the world’s largest organs containing over 10,000 pipes.
The Sydney Opera House is a great success in the history of architecture. It is not only a world-famous performing arts center and the landmark of Sydney, but also recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of the 20th century. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
32.What was the difficulty when building Sydney Opera House
A.Its columns were at the risk of falling down. B.There was no satisfactory appearance design.
C.The foundation couldn’t support its huge weight. D.No suitable site could be found for construction.
33.What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Spread out. B.Put on. C.Cut down. D.Look into.
34.How long did it take to build Sydney Opera House
A.4 years. B.6 years. C.10 years. D.14 years.
35.What does the last paragraph focus on about Sydney Opera House
A.Its history. B.Its position. C.Its general shape. D.Its inner structure.

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 lost all my hair at age 2 due to alopecia (脱发). Though all I can do was fit in when growing up, I would look at all the beautiful girls I was surrounded by at schools and in the media and think if I had hair, I would be beautiful, too.
I wore a wig (假发) and was often laughed at for it. They called me “bald (光秃的)”. I had no choice but just to let them laugh at me, because I know it was the fact. I felt like I deserved it, as if losing my hair was somehow my fault.
When I came to the senior high school, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and avoided talking about it. I was expecting a huge change, and I extremely wanted to be like everyone else. I kept my alopecia a secret and was fearful of telling anyone about it.
I remembered one day I built up the courage to tell a girl about my alopecia. Hesitating for a long time, I finally stammered (结结巴巴地说), “I have no hair because of alopecia.” She was shocked because I hid it so well. “I can’t have a date with someone who doesn’t have hair,” she said in a low voice. Disappointed and heart-broken, I turned around and walked away. From then on, I shut down, never wanting to let anyone know my alopecia again. I continued to wear my wig no matter what the weather was and what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world.
Sports became my escape, though. I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home and play basketball for hours every day. I would pretend to make the game-winning shot when I was playing. I had big dreams. I did not think about my alopecia during these moments, but think who I wanted to become and what I wanted to accomplish.
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。
I put all my time and energy into becoming the best player I could be. Then a marathon totally changed my life.

M: Or you can have a vote on the issue with your family if you really can’t decide.

W: This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man-made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the 1860s. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was cheap. Poor workers were able to buy clothes made of plastic. This kind of clothes were uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Moreover, it was easy to dry. Poor mothers, who had not been able to afford toys for their children, were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious disadvantage.

参考范文:
Dear Mr Smith,
How are you doing I’m writing to ask you for some help.
I have been learning English since primary school. However, what has long been troubling me is that I am at a loss as to how to improve my written English. I find it quite a challenge for me to compose high-level English sentences. Besides, I have difficulty in applying advanced English words and expressions in my writing. As a result, it is difficult for me to get satisfying grades in English exams.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions. Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节:
参考范文:
I put all my time and energy into becoming the best player I could be. I was still laughed at sometimes, but it began to bother me less. I became determined and wasn’t going to let anything slow me down or hold me back from accomplishing my dreams. With time going by, I broke countless school records, and received a scholarship. They were dreams that came true one by one. I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair.
