The most famous war movies reflect the American public’s continuous fascination with World War Ⅱ and the Vietnam War.Many movies of this kind have been well-received when they were first shown,but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity.The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people.
The Longest Day An all-star cast recreates D-Day and the Normandy attack,the greatest landing and aerial(空中的) invasion in history.This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film.

Jamie Whitmore,43,isn’t used to slowing down.The professional athlete who became a gold medalist of Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome,whether it was a mountain bike race or cancer.
One morning in 2007,Whitmore found her leg muscles were tight when trying for a jog.Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race,she ignored the pain.Later at a sports camp in Arizona,she realized something was wrong.“Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to pick my legs up.I flew back home to go to a hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all:Whitmore had a soft tissue tumor(肿瘤) that started in the bone,and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve of waist,touching several vital organs.
After the surgery,Whitmore had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical doctor.She also started radiation treatment,but four months later,doctors had worse news:A scan had shown the cancer was back.“This time it was more aggressive.Doctors took the rest of my nerve in the waist,and removed some cancer from my tail bone.” Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery.“My scans were coming back clear of cancer,but now I had all of these other complications(并发症).”
Today,Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free.She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics,and has set two world records.Whitmore has some advice for others with limitations:“Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.You have to find out yourself.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.You just can’t give up.”
24.What’s Whitmore’s first reaction to her leg pain

I walked into my daughter’s room as she was working on a science project.Normally,I would have been pleased about such a sight.But this time,her project involved much sand.While she’d put sheets of plastic under her work area,the sand was spreading all over our new floor.
My daughter felt my displeasure and began to defend herself.“I used sheets of plastic!”she responded irritably.I responded more angrily,“But the sand is getting all over!”
“Where else am I supposed to do it ”she shouted.
“Why didn’t she admit that she had done something wrong ”I thought to myself.I felt my fear,thinking of what her life would be like in the future if she couldn’t realize her mistakes.
My fear was translated into more anger,this time about how important it was to admit mistakes.We had a quarrel.She said something disrespectful to me and raised her voice.
I wished this had never happened before.But my daughter and I were in embarrassment and felt terrible.
So I thought that I needed a good way to respond to my daughter.So I went to my wife and asked how I should have handled it.
“Sweetie,”she said,role-playing in the conversation with my daughter,“there’s a lot of sand here and we need to clean it up before it destroys the floor.How can I help you ”
That’s really a great way to deal with it:first identify the problem,next state what needs to be done and then offer to help.It’s simple,right
28.Why did the author feel displeased at the sight
A.The daughter’s project involved much sand.
B.The daughter spread the sand all over the new floor.
C.The daughter worked too long on the science project.
D.The daughter put sheets of plastic under her work area.

D.Working on science projects does good to people.
D
For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do
Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents’ point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely.Both feel trapped.
In this article,I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen’s hair,the cleanliness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered as an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
32.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict
A.Both are about where to draw the line.
B.Both can continue for generations.
C.Neither has any clear winner.
D.Neither can be put to an end.
33.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean
A.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
D.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
34.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .
A.give orders to the other
B.know more than the other
C.gain respect from the other
D.get the other to behave properly
35.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A.Solutions to the parent-teen problems.
B.Examples of the parent-teen war.
C.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.

It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 36 If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing,then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.
Don’t get in the center of the conflict.
Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help.Frankly speaking,it is very unwise,because it can make you the main figure of the conflict. 37 You should focus on your own life issues.
Be kind.
38 Life is full of conflicts and disagreements,and that’s why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them.For example,kindness can lessen the conflict.
Try to be a peacekeeper.
Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts.“ 39 ” This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper.Don’t worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper;you can gain this skill during life.
Walk off.
When the conflict is gathering pace and you can’t manage to control yourself,you should choose to handle the situation in another way.By all means,try to keep yourself away from stress. 40 You should get away from the situation for a while.
A.The greatest victory is a battle not fought.
B.Conflicts are unavoidable,so try to accept them.
C.Weak people usually desire others to offer help and support.
D.Let other people solve their problems without your presence.
E.It is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent.
F.When someone pushes you to the limit,try to act kindly towards this person.
G.Arguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree.

I was packed and ready to go skiing for the first time.It felt like I was about to take an adventure with the world at my feet.Feeling empowered,I knew something brilliant was going to come out of the trip.I was more than excited at the thought of spending an entire week with my best friend,Lindsay,hanging out and enjoying winter.
Early Monday morning my youth group boarded our bus for the ski trip.Once at the destination,we saw the skiers floating so easily and gracefully down the slopes.By the time I got my skis and boots,I was confident I’d be a fantastic skier.During the lessons,I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes.After spending most of the time practicing again and again on the run for beginners,we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day.In the evening,we all felt extremely plaining about the pain our ski boots had caused,Lindsay and I decided we weren’t skiing the next day.Well,of course,our friends wouldn’t hear of that.
So,the next morning we found ourselves in line for the ski lift,which wound its way up the high mountain.Lindsay and I stared helplessly at each other,our eyes showing nothing but fear.After I got into the lift,I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely shut,not daring to look outside.The lift rose so fast that before I knew it,I had floated up the mountain.When I finally opened my eyes,I found myself at the top in one piece.Thank goodness I was still alive!
Standing at the top of the long slope,with the skis pointing downward,I realized I was shaking.I glanced at Lindsay and found that she was scared too,for her poles kept tapping rapidly against the sides of her boots.
Taking a deep breath and gathering all our courage,we gave each other an encouraging nod and both took off.At first I barely moved,but slowly I allowed myself to gain some speed.Soon I was shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了美国最杰出的五部反映二战和越战的经典战争电影。
21.A 细节理解题。根据文中第一段的“The most famous war movies reflect the American public’s continuous fascination with World War Ⅱ and the Vietnam War.”可知,所提电影的主题基本都是和第二次世界大战以及越南战争有关。故选A项。
22.C 主旨大意题。浏览全文可知,文章主要是对美国非常出色的五部电影做了简介。故选C项。
23.B 推理判断题。根据前文“Lee Marvin,playing an officer who thinks and acts independently,is appointed to train twelve prisoners,most of whom have been sentenced to death,to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals.”可知,罪犯可能愿意尝试一下。故选B项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Jamie Whitmore对山地自行车赛的坚持和对癌症的抗争,她克服了种种困难,让自己生活美满。
24.B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race,she ignored the pain.”可知Whitmore对腿痛的第一反应是觉得没什么。故选B项。
25.A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知,Whitmore癌症再次复发,这一次更具攻击性。医生取走了她腰部剩下的神经,从尾骨上切除了一些肿瘤,在手术后她患上了败血症,还有其他并发症,经历了为期两个月的恢复。因此推断作者第三段中讲述了Whitmore所遭受的痛苦。故选A项。
26.D 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知今天,Whitmore是一位母亲,没有癌症,她赢得了残奥会金牌,并创造了两项世界纪录。Whitmore有一些建议给那些有局限性的其他人,因此可知画线部分指的是和她一样的残疾人。故选D项。
27.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可推断,Whitmore是意志坚强,乐观的。故选C项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在和女儿产生争执时由一开始的生气到最后意识到自己在沟通上的问题,并主动向妻子学习与孩子沟通的技巧。
28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“While she’d put sheets of plastic under her work area,the sand was spreading all over our new floor.”和第二段“My daughter felt my displeasure and began to defend herself.”可知,作者不高兴是因为看到女儿把沙子散落在新地板上。故选B项。
29.B 细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt my fear,thinking of what her life would be like in the future if she couldn’t realize her mistakes.”可知,作者在为女儿未来的生活担心。故选B项。
30.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“I responded more angrily,‘But the sand is getting all over!’”和倒数第三段“So I thought that I needed a good way to respond to my daughter.So I went to my wife and asked how I should have handled it.”以及全文内容可知,作者一开始就因为一些小事和女儿发生了争执,所以可以推断作者脾气很不好,很易怒;但在他认识到自己的做法不妥之后,他虚心向妻子求助该如何与女儿沟通,由此也可以看出他很谦虚。故选A项。
31.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段“I responded more angrily,‘But the sand is getting all over!’”和倒数第三段“So I thought that I needed a good way to respond to my daughter.So I went to my wife and asked how I should have handled it.”可知,文章主要讲述作者在和女儿产生争执时由一开始的生气到最后意识到自己在沟通上的问题,并主动向妻子学习与孩子沟通的技巧。所以C项“Learn to deal with problems calmly and wisely.”最好地概括了文章主题。故选C项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了父母和孩子之间战争的实质、原因、表现形式和解决办法。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第一段“For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries...”可知父母和孩子之间的战争最后没有明确的赢家,就像邻国之间的边界冲突。作者把二者相比,是因为二者都是关于界限的。故选A项。
33.D 句意猜测题。上句说明从父母的角度来看,唯一的原因是他们的孩子完全不讲道理。画线句子the teens see it in exactly the same way,指的是孩子也用相同的方式看这个问题。根据下句“Both feel trapped.”可推测孩子认为父母不讲道理,引起了矛盾。故选D项。
34.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered as an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect”可知,父母和孩子都希望自己是正确的,因为都想获得对方的尊重。故选C项。
35.A 推理判断题。最后一段提到“In this article,I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.”并介绍了三种情况及具体表现,所以推测下段应该是问题的解决办法。故选A项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几条有效避免冲突的建议。
36.G 根据空前一句“It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others.”可知,尽量避免冲突是十分有必要的;据此可以判断,空处承上启下,介绍冲突的严重危害,引出文章主题,故G项正确。
37.D 根据空后一句“You should focus on your own life issues.”可知,作者建议把注意力集中在自己的事情上;据此可以判断,空处建议“让其他人自己解决他们自己的问题”,故D项符合文意。
38.F 根据该段标题“Be kind.”可知,该段主要阐述“和善待人”的建议,这与F项中的“try to act kindly towards this person”照应,故F项符合文意。
39.A 根据空后一句“This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper.”可以判断,空处是调解人的一句格言。A项意为“最伟大的胜利是一场没有战斗的斗争”,符合文意,故A项正确。
40.E 根据空前一句“By all means,try to keep yourself away from stress.”可知,这里作者建议要远离冲突,离开对手;据此可知E项符合文意。
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者的老师在感恩节前遇到经济困难,作者和朋友一起帮助老师的故事。多年以后,老师去看望作者时,依旧忘不掉感恩节那个温暖的时刻。
41.B 通过后文“我”们搜集食物、衣服和礼物送给他可知,老师是遇到了经济上的困难。故选B项。
42.A 根据第二段句子“Together they their house for things”可知,他们在家里搜索可以用来帮助老师的东西,由此可知,孩子们应该是在家里搜集食物、衣服和礼物。故选A项。
43.B 根据空格后“his family had a good Thanksgiving Day”可知,搜集食物、衣服和礼物的目的应该是确保他的家人过一个愉快的感恩节。故选B项。
44.C 根据后文简的妈妈拿出一只大火鸡送给老师可知,她的妈妈是被“我”们的计划感动了,决定支持“我”们。故选C项。
45.C 根据上文可知,“我”们决定搜集食物、衣服和礼物送给老师一家人,可推断出这里简和妈妈应该是搜索家里,看哪些东西可以送给老师。故选C项。
46.D 解析同上题。故选D项。
47.B 根据生活常识可知,感恩节吃火鸡是一种传统,再加上简的妈妈送火鸡的行为可知,她认为没有火鸡的感恩节是不完整的。故选B项。
48.C 根据“how moved she was by her mother’s generosity”可知,母亲的慷慨让简受到了很大的感动,由此可知,这件事她直到今天还记得。故选C项。
49.A 根据“their four children stood around them as we handed out the gifts”可知,“我”们是亲自给孩子们分发礼物,由此可推断出,“我”们是把搜集到的礼物亲自送到了老师家,故应该是在送礼物之前,说了感谢的话。故选A项。
50.D 根据文章内容可知,“我”和简是给老师及他的家人送去感恩节礼物,由此可推断出“我”们是在帮助他们,故这里应该是感谢有机会帮助别人。故选D项。
51.B “我”们并没有提前告知老师“我”们的到来,所以老师并没有想到“我”们会带着礼物来看望他,可推断出当他开门看到“我”们时,表情是惊讶的。故选B项。
52.C 老师应该先给“我”们开门,才会见到“我”们并和“我”们说话,“answer the door”意为“开门”,为固定搭配。故选C项。
53.D 空格前的天气寒冷和空格后的内心温暖为转折关系,However意为“然而”,表示天气寒冷,然而,内心温暖,符合语境。故选D项。
54.A 空格处引导时间状语从句,while意为“当……时候”,引导时间状语从句,表示当“我”正在开会的时候,符合语境。故选A项。
55.A 根据上文“I was in a meeting”可知老师来看望“我”的时候“我”正在开会,由此可推断这里是老师想知道“我”能不能在忙碌的工作中抽出时间和他见一面。故选A项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了清华大学的建立与发展历史。
56.was founded 考查动词时态和语态。分析句子,简单句中除了提示词外无其余动词,故此处需填动词。提示词和逻辑主语之间表示被动,且此处具有过去时的时间状语,所以需用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was founded。
57.to move 考查非谓语动词。分析句子,简单句中已有动词 was forced,所以提示词需用非谓语动词。固定搭配 be forced to do sth.意为“被迫做某事”。故填to move。
58.against 考查介词。此处表示抵抗日本的侵略。故填against。
59.original 考查形容词。空后的location为名词,故需将提示词变为形容词修饰后面的名词。故填original。
60.a 考查冠词。make a contribution 意为“做贡献”,是固定短语。同时因为significant以辅音音素开头。故填a。
61.training 考查非谓语动词。提示前有介词for,故需将提示词改为-ing形式,充当宾语。故填training。
62.scientists 考查名词。and前接名词engineers,所以应将提示词变为名词。科学家和工程师并列被great修饰,且表示复数。故填scientists。
63.Since 考查连词。空处缺“自从”之意来引导时间状语从句。故填Since。
64.whom 考查定语从句。此处考查介词+关系代词。在定语从句中,先行词指人则介词后用whom。所以介词among后应用whom。故填whom。
65.respected 考查非谓语动词。从句部分已有动词are,故需要用非谓语动词。又因respect和逻辑主语之间表示被动。故填respected。

第一节
Dear Mr.Secretary-General,
As a senior high school student,I’m writing to you to express my hope for world peace.
First of all,I’d like to express my thanks to you for the contributions that you’ve made to keeping the world peaceful since you took up the position as Secretary-General of the United Nations.As we all know,wars in history have brought great trouble and disasters to people,especially children in the war areas.What’s more,in modern times,wars will become more violent and crueler because of the application of modern science and technology.
I hope you can urge all government leaders to do their best to keep the world peaceful.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
第二节
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view.I knew I had to stop,but I was moving too fast to control myself.I tried everything,but in vain.There was only one final option—falling over.After rolling for what felt like forever,I lay still,head dizzy.Worse still,my joints were painful and every muscle hurt.I knew there was no way I could keep going.When I struggled to my feet and brushed the snow off,the terrible truth hit me:I still had half the mountain to go!
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder.It was Lindsay.“I have to quit,” I said hopelessly.Pointing to some skillful skiers,Lindsay said,“Look,they are skiing so easily.Come on,I believe we can make it,too.” Looking at her determined expression,I was instantly inspired and seconds later we were both skiing down the slope.Along the way there were a few more falls,but we were not defeated.At the bottom,I glanced up the mountain and felt a wave of gratitude and pride.Thanks to Lindsay’s encouragement,I had overcome my fears and learned to face challenges bravely.
