At the age of seventeen, Barton worked as a teacher in Massachusetts. Twelve years later, she opened the first free public school in New Jersey. The school grew from only six students on the first day of classes to more than 200 students by the end of the school year. When the school opened in the fall of 1853, Barton was surprised to learn that a man had been hired as the school’s head teacher, being paid twice her salary to run the school that she had set up and made successful. Outraged at this news, she quit her teaching position. “I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay,” she said.
In 1861, the Civil War began; Barton began collecting supplies and got passes from the government to send her supplies and services to the front line and field hospitals. And then she became known as the “Angel of the Battlefield”.
In 1869 Barton took a trip to Switzerland where she learned about the International Red Cross. Later, Barton set up the American Red Cross. Under Barton’s leadership, the American Red Cross helped thousands of people in need.
During her lifetime, Barton gave her life and effort to the service and the care of others as a teacher, a Civil War nurse, and founder of the American Red Cross.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking(皮艇运动) or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed travelers who enjoy peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the travelers’ lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine(常规) and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
8. Which of the following is a quiet traveler most likely to choose
A. Backpacking across a country.
B. Wine tasting in a bar.
C. Hiking to some mountains.
D. White water rafting.
9. Which is the most important to have an adventure travel
A. Whether you enjoy yourself.
B. Whether you try something dangerous.
C. Where you go for the traveling.
D. What you do in the traveling.
10. What does the underlined word “beyond” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. according to B. later than
C. more than D. less than
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Tips on Adventure Travel
B. Who Is Interested in Adventure Travel
C. What Is Adventure Travel
D. Popular Places for Adventure Travel
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旅游探险的含义：不同的人旅游探险的活动不同, 只要超出了你的常规生活的假日活动就是探险。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed travelers who enjoy peace and comfort.(意大利品酒对于喜欢和平和舒适想要更多放松旅行者也是度假冒险) ”可知, 对于那些喜欢平静舒适的游客来说, 在意大利品酒也是一种旅游冒险。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU(关键不是你在做什么，而是你有一段美好的时光，这对你来说是一次冒险)”可知, 旅游探险的关键不是你做什么而是你玩得是否开心。故选A项。
3.词义猜测题。上文“Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing.(冒险取决于这个人的身体极限，这个人拥有多少钱，以及这个人喜欢做什么。)”可知, 旅游探险应该选择适合自己的，下文“If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. (如果你的生活很忙碌，那么和家人在月光下坐在海滩上对你来说可能是一种冒险)”可知，超出自己常规生活范围的就可以称之为旅游探险了。故Beyond意为“超过”。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段的句子“But what is adventure That is the key here and the answer can be different fordifferent people.(但什么是冒险呢？这是这里的关键，答案对不同的人可能会有所不同)”以及倒数第二段的“Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. (对许多人来说，超越常规对于许多人就是冒险。)”可知, 本文介绍了探险旅游的含义和重要性, 以及不同的人有的不同探险方式，故最好的标题是C项“什么是冒险旅游”为最佳标题。故选C项。

“Come on! All of us are cutting (逃课) maths. Who wants to go to take that quiz We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class, take the quiz and all Or do you give in and go with him
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with — even adults.
Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.
It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.
It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust — a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
12. According to the first paragraph, what is the kid doing
A. Encouraging other kids to cut class.
B. Making an announcement about a dinner party.
C. Planning some interesting activities after school.
D. Persuading kids to take a quiz with him.
13. What can be known according to the author
A. For kids, peer pressure may do more harm than good.
B. Kids today are under greater pressure than before.
C. Peer pressure exists among people of all age groups.
D. Maths is the most difficult subject for most kids.
14. What is suggested to the readers in the last paragraph
A. Learning to refuse their friends in a polite way.
B. Getting support from someone else if necessary.
C. Making more close friends while at school.
D. Building closer relations with their parents and teachers.
15. Whom is the text probably written for
A. The parents. B. The teachers.
C. The friends. D. The students.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是“同伴压力”，同伴压力可以给人带来好的或不好的影响，同时介绍了一些方法和建议帮助读者去面对和处理“同伴压力”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Come on! All of us are cutting (逃课) maths. Who wants to go to take that quiz We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!”(来吧!我们都不上数学课。谁想去做那个测验？我们要去散步，去吃午饭。我们走吧!)可知，这个小男孩说这些话是为了煽动大家不去考数学，逃课。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with — even adults.(当他们试图影响你的行为并让你做某事时，这被称为同伴压力。这是每个人都要面对的问题，即使是成年人。)”可知，在作者看来每个人都有可能经历同伴压力。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust — a parent , or a teacher.(如果你继续面对来自同伴的压力，而且你发现很难处理它，和你信任的人谈谈——父母或老师。)”可知，面对来自同伴的压力时，作者建议必要时可以找其他人寻求帮助。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers.(和你相同年纪的人，比如你的同学，被称为同龄人。)”可推知，本文是写给学生的。故选D项。

第二节 (25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, the oldest and my mom's "grown up" girl, I had to keep my cool. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was alone, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered（撒）presents, she would sigh and warn us, "There won't be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed." Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room. I had heard the phrase "giving is better than receiving," but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason I couldn't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.
"Here's another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it had not been mine. It was my mom's. A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother's handwriting.
"Mom, I can't...”
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
I was stopped by my mother's eager, joyful look.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I have always remembered that Christmas fondly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I was stopped by my mother's eager joyful look. "Let's see what it is, honey. Hurry andopenit." It was a blow dryer. Though this may seem but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-oldgirl,I was stunned. In my world, where receiving largely outweighedgiving, my mom's act of selflessness was incomprehensible. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much mymommust love me to give up her Christmas so I could have a few morepresents.
Paragraph 2:
I have always remembered thatChristmasfondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life whom I adore, I can now understand my mom's actions. I see, actually, she was not "giving up her Christmas" as I had thought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom's simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom's giving, I will choose to give in my life.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于记叙文。要求考生根据阅读内容续写两段，每段第一句已给出。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，有一年，作者的家庭经济状况不是很好，因此圣诞节的礼物没有往年那么多，于是作者的母亲把本来属于自己的圣诞礼物送给了作者。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：看到母亲热切的，高兴的表情，我没再继续说下去。所以接下来应该写“我”在母亲的劝说下打开礼物，描述礼物及我看到礼物感受，和对于母亲无私的把礼物送给我的感受等。第二段开头是：我总是深深地记得那个圣诞节。本段应该写母亲在圣诞节那个无私的举动对我的影响，以及在我长大之后终于明白了母亲当时的行为，感受到母亲对我深深的爱，也理解了我小时候不理解的那句短语“付出胜于接受”。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要特别熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，记得用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，逻辑连贯，故事完整，符合题目要求。使用了一些高级词汇和高级句子供我们学习参考。如：incomprehensible, in disbelief, fondly,等高级词汇；高级句子:''Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was stunned.”非谓语动词作状语。"As an adult with children in my life whom I adore,"定语从句。"Whenever I look back on my mom's giving, I will choose to give in my life."让步状语从句等，都为本篇范文增色不少。

When Clara Harlowe Barton was 11 years old, her older brother was seriously injured in a fall. Barton spent two years nursing him back to health until he fully got well. Although she had this early nursing experience, Barton would not work as a nurse until later in life.
At the age of seventeen, Barton worked as a teacher in Massachusetts. Twelve years later, she opened the first free public school in New Jersey. The school grew from only six students on the first day of classes to more than 200 students by the end of the school year. When the school opened in the fall of 1853, Barton was surprised to learn that a man had been hired as the school’s head teacher, being paid twice her salary to run the school that she had set up and made successful. Outraged at this news, she quit her teaching position. “I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay,” she said.
In 1861, the Civil War began; Barton began collecting supplies and got passes from the government to send her supplies and services to the front line and field hospitals. And then she became known as the “Angel of the Battlefield”.
In 1869, Barton took a trip to Switzerland where she learned about the International Red Cross. Later, Barton set up the American Red Cross. Under Barton’s leadership, the American Red Cross helped thousands of people in need.
During her lifetime, Barton gave her life and effort to the service and the care of others as a teacher, a Civil War nurse, and founder of the American Red Cross.
4. What does the underlined word “Outraged” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Sad. B. Moved. C. Angry. D. Frightened.
5. Why was Barton called the “Angel of the Battlefield”
A. She set up a field hospital. B. She provided supplies for soldiers.
C. She did a man’s work in the front line. D. She helped thousands of people in need.
6. What made Barton set up the American Red Cross

C. Her experience in Switzerland. D. The soldiers’ encouraging praise.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking(皮艇运动) or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed travelers who enjoy peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the travelers’ lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine(常规) and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
8. Which of the following is a quiet traveler most likely to choose
A. Backpacking across a country.
B. Wine tasting in a bar.
C. Hiking to some mountains.
D. White water rafting.
9. Which is the most important to have an adventure travel
A. Whether you enjoy yourself.
B. Whether you try something dangerous.
C. Where you go for the traveling.
D. What you do in the traveling.
10. What does the underlined word “beyond” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. according to B. later than
C. more than D. less than
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Tips on Adventure Travel
B Who Is Interested in Adventure Travel
C. What Is Adventure Travel
D. Popular Places for Adventure Travel

“Come on! All of us are cutting (逃课) maths. Who wants to go to take that quiz We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class, take the quiz and all Or do you give in and go with him
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with — even adults.
Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.
It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.
It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust — a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
12. According to the first paragraph, what is the kid doing
A. Encouraging other kids to cut class.
B. Making an announcement about a dinner party.
C. Planning some interesting activities after school.
D. Persuading kids to take a quiz with him.
13 What can be known according to the author
A. For kids, peer pressure may do more harm than good.
B. Kids today are under greater pressure than before.
C. Peer pressure exists among people of all age groups.
D. Maths is the most difficult subject for most kids.
14. What is suggested to the readers in the last paragraph
A. Learning to refuse their friends in a polite way.
B. Getting support from someone else if necessary.
C. Making more close friends while at school.
D. Building closer relations with their parents and teachers.
15. Whom is the text probably written for
A. The parents. B. The teachers.
C. The friends. D. The students.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, the oldest and my mom's "grown up" girl, I had to keep my cool. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was alone, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered（撒）presents, she would sigh and warn us, "There won't be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed." Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room. I had heard the phrase "giving is better than receiving," but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason I couldn't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.
"Here's another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it had not been mine. It was my mom's. A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother's handwriting.
"Mom, I can't...”
