第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Our bodies need a healthy diet which should include all the things you need to develop normally—proteins,carbohydrates,fats,minerals and vitamins.Cutting out things you might see as fattening,such as carbohydrates or fats,can stop your body from developing normally.
There are some simple rules which can help you to stay a healthy and normal weight.They sound quite easy but might be more difficult to put into practice.You can ask your family and friends to help you to stick to these rules—and it might even help them to be a bit healthier!
Eat regular meals—breakfast,lunch and dinner.
Include carbohydrate foods such as bread,potatoes,rice or pasta with every meal.
Eat at roughly the same time each day.Long gaps between meals can make you so hungry that,when you do eventually eat,you eat far more than you need.
Get enough sleep.
Avoid sugary or high fat foods and junk foods.If you have a lunch of crisps,chocolate and a soft drink,it doesn’t feel as if you’re eating very much,but it will pile on the pounds.A sandwich or roll with fruit and milk or juice will make you feel fuller,but you are much less likely to put on weight and it’s better for your skin.
If you follow these suggestions you will find it easier to control your weight,and you won’t find yourself wanting sweet foods all the time.
21.What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A.Your family and friends. B.Our bodies.
C.Regular meals. D.The simple rules.
22.What doesn’t help you to keep fit
A.Taking regular exercise.
B.Not having carbohydrate foods.
C.Avoiding high fat foods and junk foods.
D.Eating at roughly the same time each day.
23.What is the main idea of the passage
A.How to Stay Healthy
B.How to Keep a Healthy Diet
C.How to Stay a Healthy and Normal Weight
D.Who Will Be More Helpful for You to Stick to the Simple Rules
B
Climbing,I once thought,was a very manly activity,but as I found my way into this activity,I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming,rock climbing involves you into the landscape.On the rock,I am fully present.Eyes pay close attention,ears are alert (警觉的),and hands move across the surface.Unlike walking,where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly,in climbing,attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature,I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing.Going out on to the crags(悬崖),I saw how you can learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements.Good climbers knew how to map their bodies on to the stone.Watching them,I wanted to possess that skillful language.
My leap happened when I worked for the Cairngorms National Park Authority.Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd.Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers,she is not concerned with peaks or personal beats.Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Cairngorms as a place alive with plants,rocks,animals and elements.Through her generous spirit and my own wanderings,I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing yourself against anything.Rather,the intensity of focus could release you into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and stony places has changed my view on the world and our place in it.I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday.Working with gravity,geology (地质学),rhythms of weather and deep time,I gain an actual relationship with the earth.This connection lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing.I return to the rocks,because this is where I feel in touch—with our land.
24.Why does the author like climbing
A.It challenges her to compete with men.
B.It allows her a unique attitude towards rock.
C.It teaches her how to possess a new language.
D.It makes her feel connected with the world.
25.What does the writer find important in climbing
A.Balance. B.Concentration. C.Determination. D.Curiosity.
26.What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd
A.Climbing goes together with nature.
B.Every mountain top is within reach.
C.The best climber is the one having fun.
D.You cannot achieve high unless you change.
27.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A.Time. B.Contact. C.The world. D.My view.
C
The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning,but is running on the sand good for your body It can be,but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.
Running on the beach can be a good thing.It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement.For starters,sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface.As you push off,you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves.So,you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement.But this unevenness has an upside:It gives your body an extra workout,forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.For example,your feet,ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.
You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water.If you’re going for a long run on the beach,you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot—not wearing anything on feet.However,if you’re not used to barefoot running,start slowly and don’t run long distances at first.That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does,and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet.If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it,go for it!
Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you,because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.
28.Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters
A.The soft surface makes people fall over easily.
B.People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.
C.Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.
D.It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.
29.Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in paragraph 2
A.Advantage. B.Reason. C.Character. D.Challenge.
30.What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running
A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.
31.Where can the passage probably be found
A.A primary school textbook. B.A tourist guide.
C.A sports magazine. D.A scientific report.

Wherever we go,we are surrounded by history.Across the globe,cultural heritage is passed down through the generations.It is in the buildings and structures around us.It is in the arts and artifacts(手工艺品) we treasure.It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell.But today,it is under attack as never before.Not only is the damage of time threatening our cultural heritage,but conflicts,climate change,globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price.Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle.Here is how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine,creating the replicas(复制品) via crowd sourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming.Increasingly,artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms(算法) are being used to do all the required sourcing,allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours.AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and vastly superior to previous methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years.Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile.Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm.Wastes accumulate everywhere,causing serious problems.As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded,VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them.We’ll eventually be able to walk through places,look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally,our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology.Efforts in research,innovation,data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
32.What does the underlined word “exacting” in paragraph 1 mean
A.Paying. B.Cutting.
C.Receiving. D.Demanding.
33.What is the advantage of AI in preserving cultural heritage
A.It generates 2D images.
B.It makes restoration easier.
C.It makes preservation safer.
D.It creates replicas in seconds.
34.How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
A.By recycling huge amounts of waste.
B.By reducing human impact on the site.
C.By forbidding visitors from touching artifacts.
D.By educating people about the sites’ importance.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.How Technology Changes Art
B.What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
C.Preserve the Cultural Heritage with the Advanced Technology
D.Prepare for a Revolution in Technology

What is Shallow Water Blackout(浅水昏厥) “You don’t realize that you need a breath,so you just kind of go to sleep underwater,” explains Kim Rutherford.“Since you’re underwater,at some point your body tries to take a breath.　36　 And that causes a drowning(溺亡).”
Rutherford is a U.S.Masters Swimming coach in California.She helped save a skilled swimmer’s life recently after he had experienced Shallow Water Blackout.　37　 Further information about Shallow Water Blackout will help clear up your doubt.
Shallow Water Blackout is also known as low oxygen(氧气) blackout.When swimmers hold their breath repeatedly,their carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are unnaturally low.　38　
Low oxygen levels in the body can cause brain damage within a few minutes.If not saved quickly,a swimmer can die.Even if there are lifeguards watching,it can be hard to notice what is happening underwater.
　39　 This includes everyone from those playing “hold your breath” games to skilled swimmers.
Here are things to keep in mind for everyone who goes into a pool:
·　40　 Always have someone to go together with you.
·Never overlook the need to breathe.
·Let your coach or a lifeguard know that you are holding your breath.
·Never play breath-holding games.
·Post signs at the pool to make people know the dangers of Shallow Water Blackout.
A.Never swim alone.
B.When it does,it takes in water.
C.Keep an eye on the water level.
D.Here is his story and how his life was saved.
E.How could a near drowning happen to a skilled swimmer
F.Blackouts can happen to anyone who is holding their breath.
G.This stops their body from giving their brain the message to come back up for air.

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。
It was the late 1930s,and things were tough.Mom had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster.My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake,five years ago.
Looking back,I realize what Mom went through sending us kids to school.Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes,because our soles(鞋底) were worn out.When we got home,Mom would have “French toast” ready for us.Constant moving was typical for my family in those times.Rent was 25 dollars a month,but Mom couldn’t pay it,and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching,and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services.The inspector came to our house,and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away.When he didn’t find any,he issued the cheque to Mom.Mom said that instead of buying food,she would use the 25 dollars to pay back the rent,assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer.She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mom,I had been selling Christmas trees,shoveling snow,and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots.Boots that weren’t patched,boots with no cardboard in the soles.I knew exactly which boots I wanted.They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well,the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve.I was excited,as I hurried up the road to the shoe store,but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations.It was then I realized at our house,we had no lights,no decorations,nor any money for Christmas goodies.I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas,and I felt sad.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
As I continued walking I began to reconsider my plan.



With great excitement and tears in my eyes,I knocked on the door.

Dear John,
I hear that you are going to climb the mountain.Now I’d like to share my views on climbing with you.
For my part,climbing is a very good activity.Only by relaxing yourself can you refresh yourself and improve your health.
In order to enjoy the activity,you need to make full preparations in advance.You had better have clear information about the weather,and bring proper clothes.When you are climbing,I suggest that you pay attention to every step you make in case you hurt yourself.
I hope you will have a good time.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
As I continued walking I began to reconsider my plan.I was feeling a strange sense of guilt.Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while my mother was home in tears.She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store.I realized that 25 dollars I had worked so hard for went a long way towards lights,decorations and a turkey.After finishing shopping,I went home.
With great excitement and tears in my eyes,I knocked on the door.I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face!When Mom opened the door,some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor,and she just stood there,dumbfounded.Holding back the tears,I said,“Merry Christmas!” That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mom to last two lifetimes.模块综合测评

A
When I worked in a large city,passing by someone who was homeless wasn’t an uncommon sight.The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.
I felt I must do something,and,as a single mother,I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget.I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them out to those I met on the street each week.
Though a dollar felt like a small amount,I realized how powerful it was.For me,I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me.Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together.On some occasions,I was able to give more.I don’t know how and if the dollars helped,but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice,I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat.With it around my shoulders,I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold.However,at that moment,I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness.I turned to the salesman who had helped me,and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat,walking to the corner,and offering it to someone in need.Slightly taken aback,he smiled.“I will as soon as I get a break,” he said.“Thanks for being so considerate.”
I can’t help but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on,and in this way,I feel I’ve helped more than just those I pass by on the street.Kindness touches many hearts,and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.
21.Why did the author decide to come up with a plan
A.Because she wanted to increase her limited budget.
B.Because she needed to set aside some bills.
C.Because she always passed by some homeless people.
D.Because she wanted to do something for the homeless people.
22.What did the author think of the dollars she gave to those people
A.It didn’t make sense.
B.It could help them a lot.
C.It might have been a small amount to them.
D.It brought a friendly connection between them.
23.What do the underlined words “taken aback” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
A.Surprised.　　　　　　B.Satisfied.　　　　　　C.Upset.　　　　　　D.Frightened.

If electric bikes haven’t caught your attention yet,here’s one that might.Okapi,a Boston-based start-up,is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.
These aren’t normal bikes.If the futuristic appearance doesn’t give them away,the specs(规格) will:Okapi’s bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph.Those aren’t crazy numbers,but they are more than adequate for an ordinary bike.The company’s selling its bikes for just under $3,000.That’s in line with other e-bikes’ pricing,but Okapi’s bikes look more appealing than the others,which try (with varying degrees of success) to look like normal bicycles.
The bikes’ full suspension,hidden storage,and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride.Okapi’s design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps(碰撞) than many other electric bikes,some of which appear to be modeled after old models.The main downside to Okapi’s design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds,which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.
Okapi’s approach to the e-bike is a little different from others’.While more than one company tries to hide their electric powertrain(动力系统) underneath slim bodywork,Okapi puts it all out for the world to see in a big,square battery pack.There’s almost a futuristic dirt bike look to the bike,which is less awkward than it sounds.
Electric bikes are getting cheaper almost every day,but Okapi’s product charges a high price:The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989.98.The good news is that Okapi’s bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.
Though they’re not the most mainstream product out there,e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price.If you’re considering buying an electric bike,do it.E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience,even on the cheaper end.
24.What do we know about Okapi’s new bike
A.Its look is normal. B.Its speed is steady.
C.It has a lower price. D.It has a limited load.
25.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.The battery pack. B.Slim bodywork.
C.The electric powertrain. D.Okapi’s approach.
26.What is the author’s attitude towards e-bikes
A.Objective. B.Unclear. C.Conservative. D.Supportive.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.E-bikes:Cooler than You Think
B.E-bikes:a Future Leader of Bikes
C.E-bikes:a Better Replacement for Cars
D.E-bikes:a Mainstream Way of Transportation

My mother,a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital,worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school.She’d sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening.This went on for 23 years.She never complained.No matter how tired she was,she always had enough energy to be my mom.
She often had to work on Christmas,Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve,and sometimes Thanksgiving,which made me upset.However,before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house.She’d also have cookies baking in the oven,a holiday-themed movie in the VCR,and music playing throughout our house for us.But when it was time to go to work,there was no room for debate.“Why do you have to work on this day of all days ” I’d ask sadly.“They need me,too,dear son,” she’d respond,compassion(同情) in her tone.
For a long time I didn’t understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers.Recently,as my grandmother became ill,I found myself spending more time in hospitals.The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother.The nurses checked heart,blood and oxygen levels,and made sure patients were comfortable.They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom.Beyond their duties,the nurses displayed consideration for each patient.
What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation.I was filled with more admiration for my mother.
28.Why did the author’s mother work in the evening
A.To take him to school. B.To enjoy a movie.
C.To decorate their house. D.To sleep during the day.
29.What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A.The mother loved her patients more than her kid.
B.Nurses are paid double salaries working on holidays.
C.The author wished his mother could stay home on holidays.
D.Only people with mercy on patients will make good nurses.
30.The author really understood his mother’s work when 　　　.
A.he asked his mother to stay with him during holidays
B.he looked after his sick grandma in the hospital
C.he saw how tired his mother was after work
D.he helped patients to the bathroom
31.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Children of nurses are often dissatisfied with their mothers.
B.Nurses are particularly busy at work during holidays.
C.The author gained a new appreciation of his mother.
D.The author’s mother liked doing housework.
D
What are American high schools like Well,I’m happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here,it had already been a week since the school opened.At this school,freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad.I wished I’d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment,however,I gradually adapted to my new life and school.There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates,the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.Around the space,there are many lockers for students to leave their books in,so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively.For example,my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time.We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality (道德) more than their academic studies.For example,if you do not finish your homework,you will just be asked to do it later,but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well,but compared to Chinese students,they can make learning a more joyful experience.I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.
32.What made the writer sad at the beginning
A.Being late for school. B.Not knowing anyone.
C.Being looked down upon. D.Missing the chance of the trip.
33.Students go to the basement of the teaching building to 　　　.
A.have a free talk B.attend class C.meet teachers D.share a classroom
34.How did the writer feel when he began his lessons
A.Happy. B.Surprised. C.Unsatisfied. D.Lonely.
35.What might stop a student’s schooling in American schools
A.Not studying hard. B.Cheating.
C.Not finishing homework. D.Failing in the exam.

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。
The end of my sophomore year was approaching.Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May.My summer break would be spent with Grandma and Grandpa on their farm.I wasn’t quite satisfied with the arrangement but guessed it was just one summer.Next year would be my little brother’s turn.
I arrived late that afternoon.Grandma had prepared more food than the three of us could possibly eat.However,the next morning,Grandpa prepared breakfast for the two of us.He told me Grandma tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed.I made up my mind to be of some help,not be a burden.
Weeks passed.I gradually got accustomed to the life there.In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma.She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in.She told me stories about her childhood,family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married.
The last Saturday in June,Grandpa suggested going fishing.We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: One of the swans was dead.Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary.“We can think of buying another one,” I suggested.Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.
He finally said,“No,it’s not that easy.You see,swans mate for life.There’s nothing we can do for the one that’s left.He has to work it out for himself.”
A few days later,we found the other swan lying near the same spot where we had found the first one.It,too,was dead.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
On July 12,Grandma passed away,who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.







Life at college was busy but the days spent with Grandma and Grandpa often appeared in my mind.

W:One day,Murphy went to a doctor to talk about his wife.He said to the doctor,“Doctor,I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time and I always have to say things again and again.”“Well,” the doctor answered,“go home and stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her.If she doesn’t answer,move about 5 feet closer and say it again.Keep doing this so that we’ll get an idea about how serious her deafness is.”
Sure enough,Murphy went home and did exactly as the doctor told him.He stood about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she was cutting some vegetables and said,“Betty,what’s for dinner ” He heard no answer.He moved about 5 feet closer and asked again.No answer.He moved 5 feet closer.Still no answer.He got fed up and moved right behind her,about an inch away,and asked again,“Betty,what’s for dinner ” Betty said,“That’s the fourth time you asked me.They are meatballs.”

61.their　考查物主代词。句意:忙碌一年了,人们终于能和自己的家人一起放松一下,享受生活。根据句意和语法,families前需要加上限定词,故将人称代词变成形容词性物主代词。
62.served　考查非谓语动词。句意:第三,除夕夜盛宴上的佳肴有着丰富的象征意义。根据句意和语法,本句谓语动词是has,serve若想存在句中必须是非谓语形式,且与中心名词food是被动关系,故填served。
63.absolutely　考查副词变形。句意:佳肴中肯定包括鱼、鸡,因为它们(鱼、鸡)的中文名称与“余”和“吉”互为同音异义词。根据句意和语法,需要副词修饰动词include,故填absolutely。
64.with　考查介词。句意:佳肴中肯定包括鱼、鸡,因为它们(鱼、鸡)的中文名称与“余”和“吉”互为同音异义词。根据句意填入介词with,表示“与……”。
65.whose　考查定语从句。句意:在台湾,(春节)传统是吃鱼丸,鱼丸的圆滚形状象征着家庭团圆。空处引导定语从句,修饰fish balls,且在从句中作定语,故填关系代词whose。

第一节
My Weekend
Last weekend,my classmates and I went to a farm to pick grapes.The grape farm is located at the foot of a hill,where lies a small river.We were stuck by the beauty of the scenery.
Grapes grown on this farm were big and sweet.We couldn’t help eating grapes while picking them,as we were told the grapes hadn’t been treated with pesticides.Meanwhile,several girls sang some sweet songs,which made us feel less exhausted.
On the way back home,we were worn out.However,we hoped we could have chances to come back again,because physical labor not only exercises our body,but also makes us cherish the fruits of labor.
第二节
On July 12,Grandma passed away,who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.“Perhaps she had tired herself out and needed a permanent sleep,” Grandpa said.After her funeral,Grandpa said that he had made up his mind to live there himself and that we should get back to our own lives.Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others,and we all worried about him.When we said goodbye,I found there was something different about Grandpa but couldn’t quite make it out.
Life at college was busy but the days spent with Grandma and Grandpa often appeared in my mind.How I wish to go fishing again with Grandpa!But Mom called me on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died,which made me in deep sorrow.Grandpa also died of a stroke,the same as Grandma.At that moment,I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swans on that morning we fished together by the pond.第三单元测评

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th,1958,Mom gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying,“I promised you a gift,and here it is.” What an honour!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning,however,I found its bed empty.My doll was gone!I cried for it.Mom wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days,I heard Mom and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”“pitiful”,and “dying”,which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming.“Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said,pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives,that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke,his eyes were filled with tears.I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say,“What He’s all right ” He hung up and shouted upstairs.“The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”
“Thank God!” I heard Mom cry.
From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home.I ran downstairs.My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty;they were filled with love!

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance to us to learn from each other.
28.In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to 　　　.
A.develop closer relations B.share the same culture
C.get to know each other D.keep each other company
29.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that 　　　.
A.the English prefer to make long speeches
B.too many words are of no use
C.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D.even talk and silence can be culturally different
30.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A.By sharing different ways of life. B.By accepting different habits.
C.By recognizing different values. D.By speaking each other’s languages.
31.What would be the best title for the text
A.Multicultural Environment B.Cross-Cultural Differences
C.How to Understand Each Other D.How to Build Up a Relationship
D
You can deal with winter in two ways:Escape it or embrace it.Watching people dive into snow—in nothing but bathing suits and boots—I’m guessing these people choose to do the latter.
The seasonal madness is part of the Quebec Winter Carnival,now in its 63rd year,said to be the world’s largest winter festival.About a half-million people each year come to Quebec City to delight in frigid(寒冷的) fashion.
“We embrace winter,” said Paule Bergeron of Quebec City Tourism.“It’s time to play.” The carnival runs from Jan.29 to Feb.14,with dozens of events.I went last year for a few frigid days,staying at the Hilton Quebec,in the thick of the downtown action.Families are a big part of the carnival.What attract kids are things like ice-fishing at a man-made pond stocked with fish,where if you catch something,you can pay to have it smoked and eat it,or donate it to a food bank.
It’s a good chance to experience the culture of this European-feeling city,and nowhere is more evident than in Bonhomme,the carnival’s goodwill ambassador,a living avatar(化身) in the form of a giant snowman with a human inside gliding(滑行) around the festivities.
There are two night parades at the carnival.I attended the second one last year,the night before the carnival’s close.The streets were lined with thousands of people in a gentle snow and bitter cold,watching local dancers and school groups glide by.In the end,Bonhomme’s float came into view,and kids in the crowd went crazy.As the parade ended,thousands followed behind it,becoming part of the Quebec Winter Carnival’s magic and madness.And with a cup of milk in my hand,I realized that for once,not only did I not mind winter,I embraced it.
32.Which of the following is TRUE about the Quebec Winter Carnival
A.It is held to attract visitors. B.It has a history of less than 60 years.
C.It is mainly intended to entertain kids. D.It is the largest winter festival in the world.
33.Who is Bonhomme
A.It is a giant snowman.
B.It is a famous star in Quebec.
C.It is the goodwill ambassador of the carnival.
D.It is the organizer of the Quebec Winter Carnival.
34.What can we know from the last paragraph
A.Kids love to see Bonhomme.
B.The carnival ends with two parades.
C.The parades are the maddest part of the carnival.
D.People attend the parades mainly to see Bonhomme.
35.The author attended the carnival probably as 　　　.
A.a visitor to Quebec B.a festival performer
C.an official in Quebec D.a local newspaper reporter

How to Realize Your Potential
I’ve always wanted to reach my full potential and abilities.I want to tell you about four changes I made—and you can make—to reach your highest potential:
Write down your goals.
You set these goals.Don’t let anybody else tell you what your goals should be.Think of success like breathing air;your last breath is important,but it’s your next breath that’s important.Goals keep you focused on what’s next.　36　
Choose things just out of reach.
Don’t just think about what is “realistic”.The problem with realistic thinking is that it’s usually based on what others think is possible.　37　 Whenever you start a task with a mind toward the potential outcome,you will limit the actions required to realize that goal.
　38　
Never do anything normal.Take massive action until one day it is a habit for you.People will ask you:“Why are you still out this late What are you doing calling on a Saturday You never quit,do you ”　39　 Big goals require big actions.Reaching your full potential requires massive actions.
Stay persistent(坚持).
How do you get a nail in a wall You hit it over and over again.　40　The ability to persist on your path is a secret common to those who make it.Reaching your potential requires you to be persistent.
A.Take massive action.
B.And even “What are you on ”
C.Rome wasn’t built in a day.
D.They don’t know your potential.
E.Don’t let anyone else judge your success.
F.And writing them down keeps you on track.
G.How much success have you got in your life

第二节(满分25分)
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 lived a life with the belief that if you don’t expect much from the world it won’t disappoint you,and for a while I was right.And then I met Liam.His uniquely colored green eyes would stare into mine and completely cleared every drop of pessimism(悲观情绪) I had.
“Cara,get up,” he whispered in my ear,his face lighting up as I looked up at him.“It’s still too early,” I complained,begging him to allow me five more minutes of sleep.“I have to get to work,honey.” He kissed my cheek gently before getting up.
Liam had never been a rich man,but his love was much wealthier than I could ever imagine.He’d fill my head with his fantasy stories of rebirth.Every single night he’d whisper in my ear that we’d be together for all of afterlife and that he would always come back for me.Being a Christian,I’d laugh at his foolishness and roll my eyes.
“Bye.Have fun at work.” I answered and he responded(回复) with a quick snort.I took myself out of bed and took a shower.
The phone rang.I checked my voicemail just in case—one new voicemail message:“Hello Cara Foster I regret to inform you your unmarried husband,Liam Hensworth,died in a car crash this evening,and please call if you need anything.” I stood dumbfounded(惊呆的) as I stared at the screen.I said to myself,“Liam died This must be some sort of mix-up,and this can’t be possible.I’m dreaming.”
No.I was not dreaming.Tears ran down my face as I absorbed(理解) the information.How could the world take him away from me I burst into tears.
Three months later,my heart still hurt on occasion.Seeing the color of tropical pictures didn’t help either,and the strange ducks of the sea only reminded me of him.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I saw the geese swimming in the water,making whispers to each other,like Liam to me.



Just then I heard someone calling me.

(Text 3)

M:Have you ever had any other signs of sickness
W:I’ve been pretty nervous,and my eyes hurt sometimes.Should I take some medicine

M:If you like art history,why don’t you do art Mr Harris teaches that,and he’s really easy-going.
W:Yeah,but I’m hopeless at drawing and painting.I like looking at it more than actually doing it.Maybe a foreign language I’ve always wanted to learn French.
M:Well,there’s a new teacher for French this term—Mrs Brown.I can’t tell you what she’s like,but she looks okay.
W:I don’t really want to risk it.
M:How about Miss Williams I’ve had her for geography before,and she’s really interesting.
W:But her class is already full.I guess only German is left.Doesn’t Mr Smith teach that He seems friendly enough.
M:Yeah,but he only teaches the advanced classes.If you want to do level one German,you’d end up with Mr Jones,and he’s very strict.
W:Oh,dear.I guess I’ll do the same class as last year.At least,the subject’s OK.

I saw the geese swimming in the water,making whispers to each other,like Liam to me.I remembered the first time we met.That evening,after work was over,I rushed to go home,taking no notice of the man standing behind me.We hit each other heavily,which hurt me much and fell down suddenly.Though the man was also knocked badly,he said sorry to me,standing by me and insisted on sending me home or to hospital.From then on,we got to love each other.Thinking of this,my eyes were full of tears.
Just then I heard someone calling me.However,I couldn’t see him clearly with tears in my eyes.Because I couldn’t believe in myself,it seemed that I was dreaming.Liam was dead,so he never came back to life.As the man approached,he put his hands on my shoulders and made me turn slowly.My dear!My unmarried husband was standing there.In the end,I knew there was another man who was also named Liam Hensworth.第一单元测评

In all the world’s cultures,people sing,play instruments,and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study,including one looking at the biology of music.Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music,learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve maths,science,and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children’s IQ scores for nine months,discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain,increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example,reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills,which are helpful in solving maths problems like fractions(分数).
Music is also used for medical purposes,such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead,the medial prefrontal cortex,connects music with memories stored in two other areas:the amygdale and hippocampus.That’s why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s,listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music’s benefits pouring in,it’s no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment,music is also great for the brain.
24.Why are scientists studying music
A.Because music can be used for medical treatments.
B.Because music plays a very important role in our lives.
C.Because our brains can process music in different ways.
D.Because music education has received a lot of attention.
25.According to the Canadian study,which children had increased IQ scores
A.Those who already had high IQs.
B.Those who had always played music.
C.Those who could not play any instrument.
D.Those who studied music for a period of time.
26.Which of the following is a kind of disease
A.Spatial reasoning. B.Alzheimer’s.
C.The amygdale and hippocampus. D.The medial prefrontal cortex.
27.What can be the best title for the text
A.Music and health B.Music and the mind
C.Music and education D.Music and instruments

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historic buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historic buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours,where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
28.What can we learn about historical buildings from paragraph 1
A.All of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are hard to preserve.
C.People want to preserve the historic feel.
D.They are more pleasing than modern ones.
29.What is the author’s attitude to coexistence of old buildings and new ones
A.Doubtful.　　　　　　　　B.Unclear.
C.Conservative. D.Favorable.
30.What does the phrase “move things forward” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Destroy old buildings.
B.Put things in a different place.
C.Choose new architectural styles.
D.Respect people’s feelings for historic buildings.
31.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To instruct. B.To argue.
C.To warn. D.To educate.
D
As an open-minded parent of a 7-year-old boy,I find out that “yes” is the word I say most frequently in life.I do this because “yes” is a sign of positive living.Saying “yes” means opening myself up to new experiences and inviting new or deeper relationships.However,too much “yes” may leave any one of us feeling powerless to set and keep boundaries(界限) in our lives.
This had been on my mind when The Book of No came across my desk.The book is rich,readable and useful to people who have difficulty in saying “no”.
Susan Newman,the writer of the book,calls people who keep saying “yes” through life “people-pleasers”.Those people often hold long-term expectations that they will care for others and feel sorry to even speak out their own needs when a request comes their way.For people-pleasers,saying “yes” is the way to avoid breaking their relationship with the asker.
So how can we say “no” The Book of No offers short and simple dialogues for hundreds of situations in which “no” is the right answer.After reading the book,I realised the things that started helping me improve my “no” skills.
For one thing,the “no” dialogues seldom include “I’m sorry” language.Instead,they are simple and clear sentences like “No,I don’t want to go” or “Not without everyone’s help”.I also noticed the sentences generally don’t ask us to say “I can’t”.Instead,they say “I prefer not to...”,“I’m not in a position(职位) to...”,or “It won’t work for me to...”.These expressions pay more attention to the person’s needs,not to his ability to respond(回应) to a request.
Do you think this book might be helpful to you It’s OK if the answer is “no”,but I do highly suggest it for your Positive Reading List shelf.
32.What does the author think of “yes”
A.Saying “yes” too much is unwise.
B.“Yes” means more possibility to others.
C.“Yes” gives us power to decide our own life.
D.People should say “yes” as much as possible.
33.What are people-pleasers like
A.They put others ahead of themselves. B.They are popular among people.
C.They often ask others for help. D.They are positive in life.
34.What should you say if you don’t want to go to a party according to Newman
A.I can’t. B.I’m sorry.
C.I don’t want to go. D.Not without everyone’s help.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.“Yes” and “No” B.Ways of Positive Living
C.Reasons Why We Should Say “No” D.Positive Reading List:The Book of No

Some people feel they don’t have time to volunteer,seeing it as an activity that only benefits others.　36　 This is how volunteering can change your own life.
When you volunteer,you are making a direct influence on the people affected by volunteering,but the impact goes far beyond the fact that you are helping people.When you volunteer,you provide connection for others and yourself.　37　
Volunteering helps learn new skills to improve your career outlook.It might be discovering how to use one program well.　38　 Whatever volunteer experience you gain,there will be many chances to learn new practical,social and communication skills.They will help you grow as a human being.
　39　 Volunteering provides you with a chance to get to know like-minded people.If you have a volunteer job that you both care deeply about,it’s likely that you meet those who have a lot in common as well.Whatever your passions and interests are,you can likely find a volunteer organization where you’ll be able to find your friends.
With these positive reasons to volunteer,it’s almost a form of self-care.　40　 Find an organization involved in something you are crazy about and sign up as a volunteer.You never know just how much it will benefit you in the long term.
A.So what are you waiting for
B.However,it can have a huge influence on yourself as well.
C.When you volunteer,you easily make friends with other volunteers.
D.Good connection with others is the most necessary thing all people need.
E.Studies show lasting happiness and lower sadness rates among volunteers.
F.Is it great to help those less fortunate while seeing the world at the same time
G.It can also be a chance to practice your second language skills with native speakers.

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。
Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏).Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as they could be.The mother was holding her husband’s hand,looking up at him as if to say,“You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,“You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,“Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price.The man’s wife let go of his hand.Her head dropped,and her lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understood how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.



That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者喜欢打篮球,但因为是女孩而被父母阻止,被男孩笑话,曾经放弃过打篮球的想法。直到上高中时在一些爱好打篮球的朋友的鼓励下,作者又回到了篮球场,因此找到了自信和幸福,并且还学到了其他的东西,作者坚信世上无难事,只要自己不放弃。

42.D　根据句意和本句的时态为现在完成时可以判断,应用since。
43.B　作者小时候可以自由打篮球,因为那时候作者还小没有人会在意(cared)。

45.D　由前一句可知,不仅父母不同意作者打篮球,甚至(Even)一些男生也有这种想法。
46.B　由上文可知,学校不准、家庭不让及男孩不理解使作者打篮球的梦想根本无法实现,因此作者感到心情沮丧。feel down引申为“感觉沮丧的”。
47.C　上文表明作者本来对打篮球已经不抱希望了,下文即讲述作者在新朋友的鼓励下重新开始打篮球,这一转机对作者来说是意料之外的(Unexpectedly)。

52.C　句意为:通过打篮球,作者不但感到快乐和自信,而且还学(learn)到很多东西。
53.B　根据下文“Never give up and you’ll make it sooner or later.”可知,不能放弃,要坚持的是自己的目标(aim)。
54.C　句意为:你要设立一个目标,然后自信地一直走下去(keep going)。
55.B　作者喜欢NBA的格言,它能表达(express)作者对篮球的强烈感情。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。根据美国法律10至15岁的孩子可以通过暑假打工或者帮别人做一些生活中的小事,例如打扫卫生、看孩子、遛狗等,来挣钱。通过做这些事情,孩子们不但挣到了钱,还学会了日常生活的必备技能,同时也体会到了自己通过劳动挣钱的乐趣。
56.on　考查介词。短语on weekends意为“在周末”,故填on。
57.hours　考查名词的数。hour是可数名词,前面是40,故此处用复数形式,故填hours。
58.younger　考查形容词比较级。此处应填形容词作表语,根据than判断用比较级形式,故填younger。
59.who/that　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句关系词,先行词kids在从句中充当主语,故用指人的关系代词who/that,故填who/that。
60.cleaning　考查非谓语动词。此处应填动词的-ing形式作介词by的宾语,故填cleaning。
61.them　考查代词。they指代dog sweaters,此处应用宾格形式作为sell的宾语,故填them。

63.is　考查时态。根据下文的are判断,此处为一般现在时,earning为动词的-ing形式作主语,看作第三人称单数,故填is。
64.However　考查副词。句意:然而,通过自己劳动挣的5美元比问别人要的20美元拿在手里的感觉要好很多。此处应填副词修饰后面整个句子,再结合语境可知上下文为转折关系,故填However。
65.probably　考查副词。此处应填副词修饰动词make,故填probably。

第一节
Dear Steven,
How are you I’m writing to tell you my lifestyle in the new school.
Our school is very beautiful with a big playground.There are green trees and all kinds of sweet flowers all the year round.The teachers are very strict with us in study,but after class,they are friendly and care about us very much.My new classmates are all very excellent and always work very hard.They help me a lot with my lessons as well as many things in my daily life and we get along quite well with each other.
Though the school life is stressful,I am full of confidence.I think with the help of the teachers and classmates,I will make great progress.
Yours,
Li Hua

Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek,he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family.”
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.We didn’t go to the circus that night.When I asked Dad why he did so,Dad said,“My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory.“We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn’t go to the circus tonight,but we didn’t go without anything.Now,do you want an ice cream ”
