Ranjan and Summer were good friends. They went to the same school and were in the same class.
Ranjan was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Summer and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class.
Summer was tall and strong. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and cricket team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.
One day, the two friends went for a walk. Ranjan got tired soon. “I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge if I am not healthy I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you,” said Ranjan.
Summer was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself too I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.” The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time. “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.”

Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.
“Isn’t it beautiful ” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this ” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves ” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly(起皱的)for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”
Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes(念想)of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.
8.At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was .
A.scared B.puzzled
C.uninterested D.excited
9.Sarah learned from her father that renewal is .
A.to recover the layers inside
B.to review what has been done
C.a natural part of getting mature
D.the process of finding the unwanted
10.It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.
A.dislikes the snake skin at all
B.shows concern for nature and culture
C.can grasp the chance to educate children
D.often encourages his daughter to raise questions
11.The author mainly tells the reader that ________.
A.snakes cast off the layers to look smarter
B.we should renew ourselves to get improved
C.snakes shed their skins to renew themselves
D.we should explore our original nature underneath
D
Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
12.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule
A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
13.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.
A.keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B.meet her father who was already an old man
C.join in the holiday celebration of the company
D.finish her work before the deadline approached
14.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.abandoned B.lacked
C.avoided D.taken
15.What is the best title for the passage
A.To Keep Emotional Well-being B.To Prevent “If Only” Moments
C.To Follow the Most Useful Rule D.To Achieve the Peace of Mind

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. 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 highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as 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 his 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 around 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.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That day I went back home with my father without any tickets, except a valuable lesson.

参考答案:
1.A 2.D 3.A
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了两个针对高中生的大学暑期项目,以及两个项目的具体食宿、课程安排等信息。
1.细节理解题。由Pre-College Program中的“A two-week residential (住宿的) experience featuring noncredit courses (为期两周的住宿体验,以非学分课程为特色)”可知,Harvard Pre-College Program不需要获得学分。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。由Pre-College Program中的“The fee for the Harvard Pre-College Program session is $4,500. The Pre-College Program cost includes: ●Courses ●Housing and all meals ●Off-campus activities—transportation and most entrance fees (哈佛大学预科课程的费用是4500美元。大学预科课程费用包括:课程、住宿和所有膳食、校外活动交通及大部分入场费)”可知,大学预科课程费用包括:课程、住宿和所有膳食、校外活动交通及大部分入场费,没有包括去哈佛大学的路费,所以要另附去哈佛大学的路费。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。由Secondary School Program下最后一段“For students living on campus, the average cost of attending the program is $11,900, which includes fees for two 4-credit courses ($3,050 for each course) or one 8-credit course ($6,100), room and meal fees, and a health insurance fee. For those attending as a commuting or online student, the cost ranges from $3,050 to $6,100 depending on the number of courses taken. (对于住在校园里的学生来说,参加该项目的平均费用为11900美元,其中包括两门4学分课程(每门课程3050美元)或一门8学分课程(6100美元)的费用,住宿费和餐费,以及医疗保险费。对于作为通勤或在线学生参加的学生,费用从3050美元到6100美元不等,具体取决于所修课程的数量)”可知,修一门4学分的在线课程要花3050美元。故选A项。
4.C 5.C 6.B 7.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两个朋友之间的故事:Ranjan喜欢读书,成绩在班级总是第一名,但身体不好。而Sumer是一个喜欢各种运动,身体好但成绩不好。在一天两人散步的时候,两人都看到了对方的优点和自身的不足,接着两人相视而笑并说道:“山那边的草看起来更绿”。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段中“He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks.(他通常和他们一起去操场。当他们跑去玩的时候,他就会坐在树下读故事书)”可知,和Summer一起去操场时,Ranjan通常会读自己最喜欢的书。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中“He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and cricket team.(他在每一场比赛中都非常出色。他是学校足球队和板球队的队员)”可知,Summer擅长运动,所以体育老师认为他可能会成为体育明星。故选C。
6.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sumer was surprised and replied, ‘So you are not happy with yourself too I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.’(Sumer很惊讶,回答道:‘这么说你也对自己也不满意?我总是希望我在学习上能做得和你一样好。我甚至想,为了在那些考试中取得更好的成绩,我可以放弃我的运动技能。’)”可推知,Sumer对他的学习不满意。故选B。
7.句意猜测题。根据最后一段“The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time, ‘The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.’(两个朋友望着对方,同时喊道:‘山那边的草看起来更绿。’)”并结合上文可知,Sumer和Ranjan在一起散步时,拿自身的不足之处和对方的优点比较,都希望自己能够改善个人的不足,做到和对方一样好,说明两人对自己现状都不满意,都渴望自己没有的得到的东西,总觉得另一边的东西就是比现有的更好。由此推知,划线句子意思是“我们总是想要更好的东西,感到不快乐”。故选D。
8.A 9.C 10.C 11.B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了作者的女儿问作者关于蛇为什么会脱皮的问题,作者借机又给女儿进行了一次教育。蛇要脱皮是在成长,人要进步也须不断反省自己,只有会发现自己的缺点才能不断进步。
8.细节理解题。根据文中第一段Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump.一句可知,作者看到这个长长的,硬而易碎的东西的时候吓得都跳起来了,scared受惊吓的;puzzled困惑的;uninterested不感兴趣的;excited激动的。故选A。
9.细节理解题。根据文中Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; 及I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.可知Sarah开始慢慢理解蛇蜕皮也是一种进步,并且作者继续指出这是他们成长的很自然的一种结果。故选C。
10.推理判断题。本文作者的女儿问作者关于蛇为什么会脱皮的问题,作者抓住这个机会给女儿进行了一次教育。因此可推知,作者很善于抓住生活中的小事对孩子进行教育。故选C。
11.推理判断题。作者在文中针对蛇为什么会脱皮这一问题,把蛇的脱皮和人的进步作了类比。借机给女儿进行了一次教育。也是在向我们大家讲述这一道理:人要进步也须不断反省自己,这样才会发现自己的缺点并不断进步。故选B
12.D 13.B 14.A 15.B
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only",因为他们表达了遗憾。父亲在作者小的时候经常让她提前做一些能防止意外发生的事,因此她懂得珍惜现在所拥有的一切,而且知道自己正在做对的事。
12.推理判断题。根据第一、二段的内容可知,作者所说的“extra minute”rule是指在遇事时多思考一分钟,从而可以避免以后遗憾、犯错或失望,故D选项“在绊倒别人之前,把障碍物挪走”符合 “extra minute” rule,故选D。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him.可知,父亲说在周五去看眼科医生时经过作者的办公室,虽然那天是假日,但作者想到父亲八十四了,自己不应该放弃每一次见父亲的机会,于是又改口说那天上班。由此可知作者决定在星期五去她的办公室,是为了见她已经年迈的父亲。故选B。
14.词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句and前后连接语意相似成分,由其前“失去一个心爱的人或物”可推知此处是指“后悔放弃一个机会”可知,foregone的意思是“放弃”,故选A。
15.主旨大意题。通读文章可知,本文主要叙述了作者通过“extra minute”rule来避免以后说“if only”的情况。“if only”作为线索贯穿了整篇文章,且第一段也提到了the saddest words,其他选项比较笼统,不能涵盖本文内容。所以这篇文章最好的题目是“防止出现if only的情况”,故选B。
16.C 17.E 18.A 19.B 20.F

46.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, I will make great progress.

47.One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
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 father on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, out of your pocket fell this bill.” The man turned around and saw the money. He stood silently for a second, feeling confused. But soon, he knew what was going on. Holding my dad’s hand in both of his hands and keeping a tight grip on the bill, his eyes lit up with gratitude. With his lips shaking and something shining in his eyes, he replied in a low voice, “Thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2:
That day I went back home with my father without any tickets, except a valuable lesson. Surely, the man wasn’t begging for a handout. However, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a proud father who wished nothing but highlight his children’s life just with the circus! Dad stepped forward and offered his warm hands with respect. What my dad did show me that being wealthy is not just about money.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者和父亲在排队买马戏团的票时,前面有个家庭给作者留下了深刻印象。这个家庭看上去不是很有钱,有8个孩子,但孩子们穿着很干净,举止良好,在开心地谈论小丑、大象和其他表演。到买票时,那位父亲没有足够的钱支付8个孩子的票,感到很尴尬,他的嘴唇开始颤抖了。作者特别理解孩子们的感受,为他们感到难过。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“看到这一切,爸爸把手伸进口袋,掏出一张20美元的钞票,扔在地上。”可知,第一段可描写作者的父亲是如何帮助那个买不起票的父亲的。
②由第二段首句内容“那天我和我的父亲回家,除了一堂宝贵的课,没有任何票。”可知,第二段可描写父亲的行为中带给作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:
送钱——困惑——感谢——回家——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①拿出:pull out/take out
②回答:reply/answer
