A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases.
The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.

In 1670, two Scottish doctors set up a garden in the city of Edinburgh to find out connections between plants and medicine. That first garden wasn’t very big — about the size of a tennis court. Fast-forward 350 years, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) now covers an area bigger than 1,000 tennis courts. The RBGE’s goal is to “explore, conserve and explain the world of plants for a better future”.
After doctors and distant cousins Robert Sibbald and Andrew Balfour graduated from university in the mid-17th century, they shared the goal of improving Scottish medicine by looking into botanical (plant-related) research. They found some land near Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh and started to collect plants. They taught students how to grow exotic (外来的) plants and use them to make medicines. As the collection expanded (增加), the garden moved to different sites, including what is now Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.
In 1823, the garden was moved to its current location in Inverleith, a suburb of Edinburgh. It took three years to move the collection of plants and trees using specially built machines. The Tropical Palm House was built in 1834, and it was joined by the larger Temperate Palm House in 1858. Both are still popular with visitors. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the RBGE continued to search for new specimens (标本) from around the world.
The RBGE has about 13,500 species of living plants in its collection today. The herbarium — a collection of dried and protected species — includes more than three million plant samples, which represent more than half of the world’s known plants. The oldest specimen dates back to 1697. Experts continue to recognize new species each year, as well as growing plants that are extinct in their own habitats. The RBGE also works with botanical gardens around the world, including in Africa and South America, and supports them with conservation projects, education and training.
8 Why did Robert and Andrew build up the garden
A. To teach people some knowledge about exotic plants.
B. To do research on plants and medicine.
C. To protect endangered wildlife.
D. To practice their tennis skills.
9. When was the Tropical Palm House set up
A. In the mid-17th century. B. In the 20th century.
C. In1834. D. In1858.
10. What do we know about the RBGE
A. It has made achievements in growing extinct plants.
B. It has collected less than half of all known plants.
C. It is going to expand its sites in other countries.
D. It collects native plants only.
11. What is this text mainly about
A. How the RBGE has expanded. B. The progress of saving endangered plants.
C. Why a botanic garden was built. D. An introduction to the RBGE.

In the last few years. “bike-sharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But I didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.
Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good for schoolchildren in Myanmar. Some children in Myanmar travel an hour or more on foot every day to get to school. Soon. Mr. Than Tun Win had raised around $400, 000 for the LessWalk project. About half of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.
The LessWalk project bought thousands of new rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they’ve added another change—they’re using special tires that don’t go flat to take the place of the bike’s regular tires. With all the changes, Mr. Than says each bike costs Less Walk about $35.
Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since Less Walk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.
Though Less Walk only began in March, the project has already brought around 22, 500 bikes into Myanmar and has given out over 1, 000 bikes. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to Laos and Cambodia.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly used to do
A. Attract readers’ attention to the topic. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. Use some examples to support the topic. D. Provide background information on the topic.
13. Why did Mike Than Tun Win set up the LessWalk project
A. To make money. B. To help the needy.
C. To grow his business. D. To spread his green travel idea.
14. What can we learn about the bikes that the LessWalk project offers
A. They are all old shared bikes. B. They allow two people to ride on one bike.
C. They only allow an hour of use a day. D. They require a smartphone app to unlock them.
15. Why does giving out the bikes take a little longer
A. There aren’t enough bikes for the locals.
B. The locals show little interest in bikes.
C. The project has to pick out its users carefully.
D. The project hasn't yet received the local government’s support.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段In the last few years. “bike-sharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But I didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.(在过去的几年里。在中国、日本、澳大利亚和新加坡等地，像oBike、ofo和摩拜这样的“共享单车”公司开始让自行车淹没街道。但没过多久，街上就出现了太多的公司和太多的自行车。很快，许多公司都倒闭了，留下了数千辆闲置的租赁自行车。其中很多都是全新的)以及第二段第一句Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good for schoolchildren in Myanmar.(商人Mike Than Tun Win意识到，尽管这些自行车在那里没有任何价值，但它们可以为缅甸的学生们做很多有益的事情)由此可推知，第一段主要用来提供文章的背景信息。故选D。
【13题详解】

About half of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.可知商人Mike Than Tun Win意识到，尽管这些自行车在那里没有任何价值，但它们可以为缅甸的学生们做很多有益的事情。缅甸的一些儿童每天要步行一个小时甚至更多的时间去上学。很快。Than Tun Win先生已经为LessWalk项目筹集了大约40万美元。大约一半的钱是他自己的，另一半是公司提供的。由此可推知，Mike Than Tun Win建立了LessWalk项目是为了帮助有需要的人。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike.可知他们还在自行车的后面增加了一个座位，允许两个孩子骑一辆自行车去上学。由此可知，LessWalk项目提供的自行车允许两个人骑一辆自行车。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since Less Walk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.可知分发自行车需要更长的时间，因为Less Walk想要确保自行车去到那些最需要他们的学生手里。该项目正与缅甸政府和学校合作，重点关注那些每天步行近两个小时上学的贫困学生。由此可知，分发自行车需要更长的时间，因为该项目必须仔细挑选使用者。故选C。

【答案】36. spending
37. extremely
38. to see 39. how
40. but 41. went
42. a 43. tired
44. is 45. keys
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者的妈妈将面包烤焦了，但是爸爸不但没有怪她而且说烤焦的面包很好吃。作者从中学到学会理解，学会接受别人的错误是创造健康持久关系的最重要的因素之一。
【36题详解】
考查动名词。因为after是介词，其后的动词应用动名词形式，所以此处应用spend的动名词形式，故填 spending。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：妈妈放了一碟面包酱和极度烤焦的面包放在爸爸面前。用副词修饰形容词，所以修饰形容词burnt应用extreme的副词形式，故填 extremely。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：我在等着看是否有人注意到它。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，故填 to see。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：爸爸只是问我在学校的日子怎么样。分析句子可知，宾语从句缺少表示方式的连接副词。故填 how。
【40题详解】
考查连词。"我不记得那天晚上我告诉他什么了"和"我的确记得…"之间存在转折关系，此处意为"但是"，故填 but。
【41题详解】
考查一般过去时。根据后面的and asked him…可知，此空也应该用一般过去时，故填 went。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意为"他给了我一个大大的拥抱"，因为表示泛指，且big的首字母发音为辅音音素。故填 a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词作状语。句意：你妈妈今天工作了一整天，真的很疲惫。这里用形容词作结果状语，表示妈妈很疲惫，所以形容词为tired。故填 tired。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。分析句子可知，主语从句作主语，谓语用单数。此句时态为一般现在时，所以be动词为is。故填 is。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：这么多年我学到的是学会接受别人的错误是创造健康、和谐、持久关系最重要的因素之一。one of其中之一，后接名词复数。故填 keys。
【名师点睛】one of的用法：
一、当one of在句首时，谓语动词用单数。
例如: 1. One of the gangsters was caught by the police. 歹徒之一被警察逮捕。
2. One of the apples has gone bad. 苹果中有一个坏了。
二、one of +最高级+名词复数
1. Norman Bethune is one of China’s most famous heroes, but he wasn’t Chinese—he was Canadian. 诺尔曼 白求恩是中国最著名的英雄之，但他不是中国人，他是加拿大人。 这里most之前有China's这样的限定语了，就不要the了。
2. This is one of the best televisions on the market.
这是目前销售的品种最好的电视机之一。
3. That was one of the strangest incidents in my life.
那是我一生中所遇到的最奇特的事件之一。
4. Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy.
友谊是最大的乐趣之一，我们可以尽情享受。
三、one of后面直接加可数名词复数。
1. She is one of those vain people who never take others' advice.
她属于那种自负得从不听别人劝告的人。
2. He is one of my friends. 他是我的一个朋友。
3. The Great Wall is one of the sights of the world. 长城是世界名胜之一。
四、one of在定语从句中的用法： 看one前面有没有定冠词 the 来区分：
1. He is one of the boys who enjoy playing basketball. 他是喜欢打篮球的男孩之一。
定语从句修饰the boys。
2. He is the only one of the boys who enjoys playing basketball.
他是这些男孩中唯一一个喜欢打篮球的。
one前面有定冠词the的时候，定语从句是修饰one的，所以定语从句中谓语动词要用单三形式。

In the news we have seen heavy rain hit many parts of the country，which are already flooded(被淹没)．We have got used to floods.Children really enjoy the rain and the floods.They love playing with water.Sometimes they jump in the water and are always happy to do it.
However，this year it turned from bad to worse.All schools were closed，and it was announced a holiday by the government the previous day.We stayed indoors and watched life through our windows.Water entered the flats on the ground floor. All the neighbors helped people living there move their belongings and stayed with them.My friends were also staying with me.I was happy，because my parents usually don't allow me to stay in a friend's place.But our neighbors were really sad.They had to bear the loss(损失)that the rain brought.
The traffic was cut off by the terrible weather as well.In the morning，the railway system and bus services almost came to a stop.People had to wait for quite a long time at the railway stations and bus stops.My mother，who went by train，arrived three hours late.And finally when she reached her office，it was also announced a holiday.Later，to make the things worse，many trains were cancelled，because the railways were full of water.My mother had to wait in the station for about three hours.Afterwards she decided to go to a friend's house a block away from her office that day，as there was hardly any transportation available to our home.She called to tell us about it.She told me that she walked all the way to her friend's house because she could not get on a bus，and that she was wet thoroughly when she finally got there.On the phone she sounded very tired.
Paragraph 1：
That night was so different without my mother at home.

Paragraph 2：
The next day the rain did not stop.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要讲述了印度的雨季期间，洪水泛滥，所有的学校停课了，政府宣布放假，作者所在的小区一楼公寓被淹了，交通也被恶劣的天气切断了。铁路系统和公共汽车服务几乎停了下来。人们不得不在火车站和公共汽车站等很长时间。作者妈妈乘火车去的，迟到了三个小时。到达办公室以后，宣布放假，但是火车道被淹了，火车取消了，妈妈不得不冒雨走到朋友家。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：没有妈妈在家的那个晚上是如此的不同。接下来可以写那天妈妈没回家，我有点难过。向窗外望去，我能看到巨大的雨点。大雨倾盆而下。我的小妹妹没看到我妈妈就哭了起来。我父亲试图使她入睡，但没有成功。我心里很着急，要是妈妈明天回不来怎么办？第二段的开头是：第二天，雨没有停。接下来可以写我们公寓里的孩子们去放纸船了，而邻居们留在家里自己做饼干。公寓的大门敞开着，我们一起做所有的事情。让我们松了一口气的是，母亲终于在12点步行回来了。我妹妹很高兴，忍不住拥抱她。这个雨季是如此令人难忘。
【点睛】续写内容详略得当，使用了固定短语和高分句型。如：look out of，pour down，try to do，come back，stay at home，to our relief，in vain，couldn’t help doing等固定短语。Looking out of the window，I could see the drops of rain were huge.该句使用了looking out of现在分词短语作状语，My little sister started crying when she didn't see my mother.中使用了when引导时间状语从句。

A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases.
The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.

In 1670, two Scottish doctors set up a garden in the city of Edinburgh to find out connections between plants and medicine. That first garden wasn’t very big — about the size of a tennis court. Fast-forward 350 years, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) now covers an area bigger than 1,000 tennis courts. The RBGE’s goal is to “explore, conserve and explain the world of plants for a better future”.
After doctors and distant cousins Robert Sibbald and Andrew Balfour graduated from university in the mid-17th century, they shared the goal of improving Scottish medicine by looking into botanical (plant-related) research. They found some land near Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh and started to collect plants. They taught students how to grow exotic (外来的) plants and use them to make medicines. As the collection expanded (增加), the garden moved to different sites, including what is now Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.
In 1823, the garden was moved to its current location in Inverleith, a suburb of Edinburgh. It took three years to move the collection of plants and trees using specially built machines. The Tropical Palm House was built in 1834, and it was joined by the larger Temperate Palm House in 1858. Both are still popular with visitors. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the RBGE continued to search for new specimens (标本) from around the world.
The RBGE has about 13,500 species of living plants in its collection today. The herbarium — a collection of dried and protected species — includes more than three million plant samples, which represent more than half of the world’s known plants. The oldest specimen dates back to 1697. Experts continue to recognize new species each year, as well as growing plants that are extinct in their own habitats. The RBGE also works with botanical gardens around the world, including in Africa and South America, and supports them with conservation projects, education and training.
8. Why did Robert and Andrew build up the garden
A. To teach people some knowledge about exotic plants.
B. To do research on plants and medicine.
C. To protect endangered wildlife.
D. To practice their tennis skills.
9. When was the Tropical Palm House set up
A. In the mid-17th century. B. In the 20th century.
C. In1834. D. In1858.
10. What do we know about the RBGE
A. It has made achievements in growing extinct plants.
B. It has collected less than half of all known plants.
C. It is going to expand its sites in other countries.
D. It collects native plants only.
11. What is this text mainly about
A. How the RBGE has expanded. B. The progress of saving endangered plants.
C. Why a botanic garden was built. D. An introduction to the RBGE.

In the last few years. “bike-sharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But I didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.
Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good for schoolchildren in Myanmar. Some children in Myanmar travel an hour or more on foot every day to get to school. Soon. Mr. Than Tun Win had raised around $400, 000 for the LessWalk project. About half of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.
The LessWalk project bought thousands of new rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they’ve added another change—they’re using special tires that don’t go flat to take the place of the bike’s regular tires. With all the changes, Mr. Than says each bike costs Less Walk about $35.
Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since Less Walk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.
Though Less Walk only began in March, the project has already brought around 22, 500 bikes into Myanmar and has given out over 1, 000 bikes. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to Laos and Cambodia.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly used to do
A. Attract readers’ attention to the topic. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. Use some examples to support the topic. D. Provide background information on the topic.
13. Why did Mike Than Tun Win set up the LessWalk project
A. To make money. B. To help the needy.
C. To grow his business. D. To spread his green travel idea.
14. What can we learn about the bikes that the LessWalk project offers
A. They are all old shared bikes. B. They allow two people to ride on one bike.
C. They only allow an hour of use a day. D. They require a smartphone app to unlock them.
15. Why does giving out the bikes take a little longer
A. There aren’t enough bikes for the locals.
B. The locals show little interest in bikes.
C. The project has to pick out its users carefully.
D. The project hasn't yet received the local government’s support.
