For the first twenty years of my life, I had avoided public speaking wherever possible. I’d seen chances pass me by at school, just because public speaking was my biggest possible fear. And then I was offered the chance to stand for elections(选举) to my dream job—a position on the National Team of AIESEC UK. The problem was, to get the job I had to give several short speeches to 200 people.
I had planned not to go. But something happened. I realized I wanted the dream job more than I feared public speaking. So, I put my name forward. And before I knew it, I was standing outside a room of 200 people, waiting to give the talk of my life. You can imagine my shaky knees ...
And all I could think about was the year before, when a friend of mine had been through the same process(过程). I was watching him as he walked to the front of the room. He looked smart and confident.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I’m really excited to be here and ...” Silence. Nothing. He choked(说不出话来). His speech stopped there. And of course, he didn’t get the job.
So, there I was outside the room, thinking, “Don’t choke.” Soon it was my turn. And I started speaking. The words came out! It was not perfect, but the important thing was that I did it. And you know what that feels like Exhilarating! I couldn’t believe I got through my biggest possible fear! My heart was still beating after I finished my speaking.
If I could overcome(克服) my biggest possible fear, so could anyone. We just have to find the thing in life that we want more than the fear of public speaking. That’s what encourages us to step beyond our fears. And by the way, yes, I got the job.
4. What should the author do to get a position on the National Team of AIESEC UK
A Attend several lectures. B. Do some public speaking.
C. Get the support of 200 people. D. Win first place among 200 competitors.
5 What can we learn about the author’s friend
A He did badly in a job. B. He competed with the author.
C He failed in the election process. D. He finished his speech with difficulty.
6. What does the underlined word “Exhilarating” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Puzzling. B. Exciting. C. Moving. D. Boring.
7. What does the author want to tell us through his experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is a way to grow up.
C. Hard work is the secret of success. D. Dream can push us to go beyond fear.
C
Readers can explore the wonders of nature with Big Tree. The book was written by famous author and illustrator (插画家) Brian Selznick. It is filled with detailed black-and-white illustrations, which took years to complete.
The story introduces Merwin and Louise, two tiny Sycamore seeds (梧桐树种子) who began life during the time when dinosaurs (恐龙) travelled around the Earth. After they fell from their mother tree, they started a dangerous 147-million-year adventure to the modern day.
After reading it, I met with the famous author and illustrator at his home in La Jolla, California. Selznick explained the lessons that nature offers about helping our planet and each other. “All of us can do something to help the real seed,” Selznick said. “No matter how small you feel, there’s always something you can do.”
As for his main goal when writing Big Tree, Selznick said, “Readers feel like they are learning about interesting stories when they read Big Tree, but actually and secretly, they are learning about real science. That’s why I wrote Big Tree.”
In order to write Big Tree, Selznick went to the New York Botanical Garden, where he talked to a wonderful park manager. She walked him through the forest and talked about the way leaves work, the way trees grow and the way trees experience time.
Selznick said he learned a lot while creating Big Tree. “The manager thinks that forests are really communities. It really surprised me,” he said. “We live in communities, and when we run into trouble or danger, we communicate with each other to find solutions. Trees are doing the same thing. We’re all part of a community. And that, to me, was a really important part of Big Tree.”
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. The main idea of Big Tree. B. The discussion about Big Tree.
C. The review of Big Tree. D. The story behind Big Tree.
9. What is Selznick’s goal in writing Big Tree
A. To show the illustration art. B. To share an interesting story.
C. To encourage readers to learn. D. To make real science interesting.
10. What did Selznick do in order to write Big Tree
A. He did some research. B. He planted some trees.
C. He asked others’ advice. D. He stayed in the forest alone.
11. What did the author learn when writing the book
A. Trees are important for communities. B. Trees can communicate with each other.
C. Trees can protect people against danger. D. Trees run into trouble more often.
D
People living on Rum are hoping it will be recognised as a Dark Sky Island. They have been preparing to achieve it.
In recent years, the community of just 30 people on Rum have tried their best to change the island’s lighting system(系统). There are no streetlights, hardly any buildings and no traffic. When the sun sets, locals and visitors can experience a naturally dark sky, and enjoy views of stars.
The island community has been taking readings with special equipment (设备)which is used to determine the brightness of the night sky. “We have to take these through our whole season so we get to know what the sky is like at different times of the year and night,” Mr Mumford, the island’s visitor services manager, said. “We need to make sure there are plans for the future in terms of what it’s going to look like and what this means.”
Dark Sky status (地位)would also help Manx Shearwaters, a bird which depends on the darkness to find the direction to South America every year.
“Manx Shearwaters are attracted to man-made light; they can be hurt at this time of year when they’re returning from migration (迁徙), and in September when young birds first fly to South America,” said Nature Scot’s Lesley Watt, a local.
“On that flight, if there are any man-made lights in the village, they could be attracted to those lights instead of reaching the sea for their onward journey. If they do get grounded, they have very little chance of making it out to sea.”
It is also hoped that by achieving Dark Sky Island status, Rum would be able to make use of this chance and bring in visitors.
“Most people aren’t coming to Scotland from October to March, which is the best time to view the night sky,” Mr Mumford said. “This is the perfect chance to help with that. We want to show off what we have here, and the work we’ve put in to protect that. We want to show people what we get to see every day.”
12. What does the author try to show in paragraph 2
A. People on Rum live a hard life. B. Rum does well in researching stars.
C. There are few unnatural lights on Rum. D. The lighting system on Rum is out of date.
13. Why does the community of Rum take readings with special equipment throughout the season
A. To keep an exact record of stars.
B. To check the use of lights on the island.
C. To collect information of weather conditions.
D. To know sky better to prepare for future plans.
14. How can Dark Sky status be useful to Manx Shearwaters
A. It is helpful for them to find more food.
B. It makes their migration journey smoother.
C. It offers them a good environment of producing.
D. It protects them from being eaten by other animals.
15. What can we learn about Mr Mumford from the last paragraph
A. He is addicted to watching stars. B. He is hopeful of achieving the status.
C. He is looking forward to visitors’ coming. D. He is eager to improve local people’s life.

47. 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。
One summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets (球拍) and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building. “I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each hit. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time. Suddenly, the unexpected thing happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows, leaving lots of broken glass on the ground. We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered, “no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home, we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.

For the first twenty years of my life, I had avoided public speaking wherever possible. I’d seen chances pass me by at school, just because public speaking was my biggest possible fear. And then I was offered the chance to stand for elections(选举) to my dream job—a position on the National Team of AIESEC UK. The problem was, to get the job I had to give several short speeches to 200 people.
I had planned not to go. But something happened. I realized I wanted the dream job more than I feared public speaking. So, I put my name forward. And before I knew it, I was standing outside a room of 200 people, waiting to give the talk of my life. You can imagine my shaky knees ...
And all I could think about was the year before, when a friend of mine had been through the same process(过程). I was watching him as he walked to the front of the room. He looked smart and confident.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I’m really excited to be here and ...” Silence. Nothing. He choked(说不出话来). His speech stopped there. And of course, he didn’t get the job.
So, there I was outside the room, thinking, “Don’t choke.” Soon it was my turn. And I started speaking. The words came out! It was not perfect, but the important thing was that I did it. And you know what that feels like Exhilarating! I couldn’t believe I got through my biggest possible fear! My heart was still beating after I finished my speaking.
If I could overcome(克服) my biggest possible fear, so could anyone. We just have to find the thing in life that we want more than the fear of public speaking. That’s what encourages us to step beyond our fears. And by the way, yes, I got the job.
4. What should the author do to get a position on the National Team of AIESEC UK

5. What can we learn about the author’s friend

7. What does the author want to tell us through his experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is a way to grow up.

Readers can explore the wonders of nature with Big Tree. The book was written by famous author and illustrator (插画家) Brian Selznick. It is filled with detailed black-and-white illustrations, which took years to complete.
The story introduces Merwin and Louise, two tiny Sycamore seeds (梧桐树种子) who began life during the time when dinosaurs (恐龙) travelled around the Earth. After they fell from their mother tree, they started a dangerous 147-million-year adventure to the modern day.
After reading it, I met with the famous author and illustrator at his home in La Jolla, California. Selznick explained the lessons that nature offers about helping our planet and each other. “All of us can do something to help the real seed,” Selznick said. “No matter how small you feel, there’s always something you can do.”
As for his main goal when writing Big Tree, Selznick said, “Readers feel like they are learning about interesting stories when they read Big Tree, but actually and secretly, they are learning about real science. That’s why I wrote Big Tree.”
In order to write Big Tree, Selznick went to the New York Botanical Garden, where he talked to a wonderful park manager. She walked him through the forest and talked about the way leaves work, the way trees grow and the way trees experience time.
Selznick said he learned a lot while creating Big Tree. “The manager thinks that forests are really communities. It really surprised me,” he said. “We live in communities, and when we run into trouble or danger, we communicate with each other to find solutions. Trees are doing the same thing. We’re all part of a community. And that, to me, was a really important part of Big Tree.”
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. The main idea of Big Tree. B. The discussion about Big Tree.
C. The review of Big Tree. D. The story behind Big Tree.
9. What is Selznick’s goal in writing Big Tree
A. To show the illustration art. B. To share an interesting story.
C. To encourage readers to learn. D. To make real science interesting.
10. What did Selznick do in order to write Big Tree
A. He did some research. B. He planted some trees.
C. He asked others’ advice. D. He stayed in the forest alone.
11. What did the author learn when writing the book
A. Trees are important for communities. B. Trees can communicate with each other.
C. Trees can protect people against danger. D. Trees run into trouble more often.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B

(这个故事介绍了Merwin和Louise，两颗小小的梧桐树种子，它们在恐龙环游地球的时代开始了生命。从母树上掉下来后，它们开始了一场持续1.47亿年的危险冒险，直到今天)”可知，本段介绍了《大树》的主要故事情节，即这本书的主旨大意。故选A项。

People living on Rum are hoping it will be recognised as a Dark Sky Island. They have been preparing to achieve it.
In recent years, the community of just 30 people on Rum have tried their best to change the island’s lighting system(系统). There are no streetlights, hardly any buildings and no traffic. When the sun sets, locals and visitors can experience a naturally dark sky, and enjoy views of stars.
The island community has been taking readings with special equipment (设备)which is used to determine the brightness of the night sky. “We have to take these through our whole season so we get to know what the sky is like at different times of the year and night,” Mr Mumford, the island’s visitor services manager, said. “We need to make sure there are plans for the future in terms of what it’s going to look like and what this means.”
Dark Sky status (地位)would also help Manx Shearwaters, a bird which depends on the darkness to find the direction to South America every year.
“Manx Shearwaters are attracted to man-made light; they can be hurt at this time of year when they’re returning from migration (迁徙), and in September when young birds first fly to South America,” said Nature Scot’s Lesley Watt, a local.
“On that flight, if there are any man-made lights in the village, they could be attracted to those lights instead of reaching the sea for their onward journey. If they do get grounded, they have very little chance of making it out to sea.”
It is also hoped that by achieving Dark Sky Island status, Rum would be able to make use of this chance and bring in visitors.
“Most people aren’t coming to Scotland from October to March, which is the best time to view the night sky,” Mr Mumford said. “This is the perfect chance to help with that. We want to show off what we have here, and the work we’ve put in to protect that. We want to show people what we get to see every day.”
12. What does the author try to show in paragraph 2
A. People on Rum live a hard life. B. Rum does well in researching stars.
C. There are few unnatural lights on Rum. D. The lighting system on Rum is out of date.
13. Why does the community of Rum take readings with special equipment throughout the season
A To keep an exact record of stars.
B. To check the use of lights on the island.
C. To collect information of weather conditions.
D. To know sky better to prepare for future plans.
14. How can Dark Sky status be useful to Manx Shearwaters
A. It is helpful for them to find more food.
B. It makes their migration journey smoother.
C. It offers them a good environment of producing.
D. It protects them from being eaten by other animals.
15. What can we learn about Mr Mumford from the last paragraph
A. He is addicted to watching stars. B. He is hopeful of achieving the status.
C. He is looking forward to visitors’ coming. D. He is eager to improve local people’s life.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C

【答案】Dear Alex，
I’m glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life.
Life for a freshman like me is really challenging. At the beginning of this new term, a strict but exciting five-day military training was held. Tired as I was, it built up my body and tested my will. New life on campus provides opportunities to make some new friends, with whom views can be exchanged in depth. There are various after-class activities, which can greatly enrich my school life. As for my new teachers, it seems that every teacher can make their lessons lovely and interesting. As you can see, I’m adapting to the fresh life. How about you
Best regards!
Yours，
Li Hua

47. 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。
One summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets (球拍) and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building. “I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each hit. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time. Suddenly, the unexpected thing happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows, leaving lots of broken glass on the ground. We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered, “no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home, we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.

On Monday, my brother and I went to school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house. As we were about to tell Mom what had happened, she asked first. Gathering the courage, we told her. “Oh, my goodness!” my mother said. After a short while, Dad came up and said, “Well, the first thing on Monday, you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake. You will probably have to pay for the window, but that is what you two should do.”
On Monday, my brother and I went to school. With our hearts beating wildly, we went to the headmaster and told the whole story. Smiling, he told us that he had known it from the school guard, and he was glad we were there. He said the school would repair the window, so we needn’t worry. “I am proud of you,” he continued. We felt proud too and learned it was good to be honest.
