A
Here are four of the late bloomers(大器晚成者) who made great achievements later in life.
Judi Dench
Although Judi Dench has been a standout in her work for theatre and TV during her entire working career, she only became a household name in her 60s. Judi received eight Oscar nominations(提名) when she was over 60. She won Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love.
Grandma Moses
Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses, started painting in her 70s. She decided to give painting a go when she could no longer hold an embroidery needle(刺绣针) due to her illness. Her works were spotted by an art collector, who bought all her paintings and displayed them at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
James Parkinson
At the age of 62, James Parkinson identified Parkinson s disease(帕金森病). His An Essay on the Shaking Palsy led to our general understanding of Parkinson s disease today. Although others had previously written about shaking palsy, Parkinson s descriptions were so exhaustive that he inspired other medical scientists to study the disease.
Kathryn Joosten
Kathryn was a nurse and mum, but after her marriage failed she made up her mind to pursue her dream of being an actress. Close to the age of 60, she threw herself into the industry and achieved success. Since then she has appeared on TV shows like Desperate Housewives. She has also won two Emmy Awards.

What do you do with the things you love You probably take care of them and keep them safe. That s not what Cameron Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of books by giving them away.
When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in a house fire, he was looking for a way to help them. He was sad that all of their books were destroyed. That s when he created his program, which gave books away to people in need.
Cameron s program collects books for young people of all ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving away books.
Many of the books he gives away were given to him by others, but Cameron s grandmother also shops for books that don t cost a lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries, and day camps.
Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing. Over the past six years, he has given away more than 5, 000 books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas, Cameron was able to give away toys and books.
Cameron Payne is making a difference in kids lives by giving away the things he loves. Who needs help in your community How can you help

People often talk about cultural differences between Western and Eastern countries, but how about the Western world itself Surprisingly, a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot. It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile; they do it, sometimes simply because they have to. A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly, and that life in general is fine. Europeans, on the contrary, prefer to keep a more neutral(不动声色的)facial expression. They smile mostly when they are in a good mood, or amused; if not, a European s face will remain neutral, or even dull. In Russia, for example, there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. It does not mean that Europeans are serious, or that they do not have a sense of humour.
The same refers to communication in general. Americans are extremely communicative; small talk and chats are common. Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say, and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people. American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people. Europeans are more straightforward, even with unfamiliar people. A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions, and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or have a shave.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts. They are open-minded, flexible, and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically; but at the same time, American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives(保守者). Americans place a high value on being politically correct, which, in most cases, is indeed a secure and beneficial practice, but it can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships. Europeans, on the contrary, are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways. Each way of communication is different—neither is correct or incorrect.
28.What does the author say about smiling
A.It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
B.It is culture-related within Western countries.
C.It is thought of as a sign of a fool in America.
D.It is regarded as a social necessity in Europe.
29.What is typical of Europeans communication
A.Beating around the bush.
B.Hiding their feelings carefully.
C.Expressing themselves openly.
D.Having small talk and chats.
30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Being politically correct.
B.Being straightforward.
C.Accepting everything new.
D.Raising unbelievable conservatives.
31.What is the passage mainly talking about
A.Ways of communication in American society.
B.Ways of communication in European society.
C.The differences between Americans and Europeans.
D.Cultural differences in Western countries.
D
For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply(服从), but we ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now—a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned a kind of magical dog translator harness(背带). What s special about it is that it doesn t just rely on the dog s vocalizations to interpret what they are banging on about.
Oh no—this magical harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs body language as well, giving us a full two-way dog communication experience.
Researcher David Roberts says,“Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges is to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely.”
Sensors on the harness monitor the dog s heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling.
What would dogs say if they could talk to us The human can even communicate with the dog through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog s senses so that it can understand what you re trying to say to it.
The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work, but it s got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can coexist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times.
32.Why can t people communicate with dogs
A.They have difficulty understanding dogs barks and whimpers.
B.They have no idea about dogs behavior in relation to their posture.
C.They don t know how to tell dogs what they want them to do.
D.They don t have a machine to translate the dogs language.
33.What does the underlined word most probably mean in Paragraph 2
A.Bought. B.Researched.
C.Influenced. D.Made.
34.For what purpose is the dog harness designed
A.It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them.
B.It is designed for dogs to communicate with people through body language.
C.It is designed to monitor the dogs heart rate and body temperature.
D.It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front-line work.
35.What is the author s attitude towards the possible human-dog communication
A.Shocked. B.Excited.
C.Embarrassed. D.Annoyed.

Failure is a word that no one wants to hear. It is human beings biggest fear, yet it is faced by every human being. Sometimes, people s fear of it is their biggest barrier to success. 36 Here are some tips which can help you focus on the positive side of life.
Say no to giving up. Before starting anything that you think will give you success, promise yourself that you will never give up. This promise helps make your mind ready for both failure and success. But what if you didn t do that from the start 37
Learn from your mistakes. This is the opportunity that you should not let go of. Suppose you are on a football ground. 38 But at the tenth attempt, you succeed after 9 failures or mistakes in a row. The tenth attempt proves that you have somehow learnt from your mistakes.
Never think that you ve got only one plan. The worst thing you can do after failing in some project is thinking that it was the only plan you could ever think of. 39 If Plan A fails, turn to Plan B or Plan C. If you are into achieving something, no one or nothing in this world can stop you.
40 This is the most important thing that you need to live a happy life. Always think positive. Never let yourself down. Positivity is all we need to grow and establish ourselves in this world.
A.Keep a positive attitude.
B.There is always another plan.
C.Change the failure into victory.
D.In fact, most people strongly deny it.
E.Then always remember that it is never too late.
F.You strike the ball for 9 times in a row but fail.
G.Therefore, you need to learn how to deal with failure.

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 football season was almost over. Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. However, Sally still had not scored one single goal.
Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn t kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club.
“Don t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated(沮丧的). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted(噘嘴).
The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelaces, and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.”
Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn t get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued.
The score was tied at 1-1. The green team was pretty good, but Sally s orange team was faster. The girls ponytails(马尾辫)bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically(拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally s heart was no longer in it.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs.
Recalling her mother s words, Sally was woken from her daydream.

56.them 考查代词。句意:波多黎各著名喜剧演员Raymond Arrieta知道,振奋人们情绪的最佳方式之一就是逗他们笑。本空在句中作动词make的宾语,故应用人称代词的宾格形式。
57.a 考查冠词。句意:Arrieta在波多黎各有自己的电视节目,他做的是单口喜剧,他说,小时候他就喜欢表演。as a child意为“小时候”。
58.making 考查动名词。句意:他坚持做喜剧,因为他喜欢逗他的朋友们笑。enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”,故本空应用动名词形式作宾语。
59.began 考查时态。句意:Arrieta在波多黎各圣心大学获得广播电视制作学位后,开始在附近的一家咖啡馆表演。本句动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。
60.asked 考查过去分词。句意为“当被问及他对那些想成为喜剧演员的人有什么建议时,他说:‘当你有自己的节目时,这对你来说意义更大。你会回头微笑,想想你已经走了多远。’”此处是状语从句的省略,动词ask和主语he之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式。

Why We Need Humour in Our Life
We badly need humour in our life. There are various reasons.
Firstly, it is important for us to set ourselves free from hard work for a while. Humour can help relieve us of such pressure. Secondly, humour can make people laugh and feel happy. It makes us attractive and people will never feel dull together with us. Thirdly, humour can always keep us in high spirits, which will do good to both our mental and physical health. Fourthly, humour makes us laugh at a time when we feel depressed so we can feel more content with our lives.
In a word, humour is very important to all of us. Let s fully enjoy humour in our lives.
第二节
One possible version:
Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. She could be a member of the hip hop club, which her best friend Tracy kept talking about. She imagined herself dancing on the stage of a big hall with thousands of people cheering on her. She could also try a different sport, like jogging or cycling. Anyway, football would be her last choice. Just as her mind was wandering, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was her mother. “Stay focused. You can do it.”
Recalling her mother s words, Sally was woken from her daydream. At that very moment, her teammate passed the ball to her. She took control of it and ran it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the green team. She passed a few players and soon positioned herself right in front of the net. Focused on the ball, she kicked it as hard as she could. The referee blew his whistle “Goal!” Sally s team won. Her mom was right. All she had to do was stay focused.

Here are four of the late bloomers(大器晚成者) who made great achievements later in life.
Judi Dench
Although Judi Dench has been a standout in her work for theatre and TV during her entire working career, she only became a household name in her 60s. Judi received eight Oscar nominations(提名) when she was over 60. She won Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love.

At the age of 62, James Parkinson identified Parkinson s disease(帕金森病). His An Essay on the Shaking Palsy led to our general understanding of Parkinson s disease today. Although others had previously written about shaking palsy, Parkinson s descriptions were so exhaustive that he inspired other medical scientists to study the disease.

What do you do with the things you love You probably take care of them and keep them safe. That s not what Cameron Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of books by giving them away.
When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in a house fire, he was looking for a way to help them. He was sad that all of their books were destroyed. That s when he created his program, which gave books away to people in need.
Cameron s program collects books for young people of all ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving away books.
Many of the books he gives away were given to him by others, but Cameron s grandmother also shops for books that don t cost a lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries, and day camps.
Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing. Over the past six years, he has given away more than 5, 000 books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas, Cameron was able to give away toys and books.

People often talk about cultural differences between Western and Eastern countries, but how about the Western world itself Surprisingly, a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot. It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile; they do it, sometimes simply because they have to. A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly, and that life in general is fine. Europeans, on the contrary, prefer to keep a more neutral(不动声色的)facial expression. They smile mostly when they are in a good mood, or amused; if not, a European s face will remain neutral, or even dull. In Russia, for example, there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. It does not mean that Europeans are serious, or that they do not have a sense of humour.
The same refers to communication in general. Americans are extremely communicative; small talk and chats are common. Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say, and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people. American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people. Europeans are more straightforward, even with unfamiliar people. A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions, and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or have a shave.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts. They are open-minded, flexible, and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically; but at the same time, American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives(保守者). Americans place a high value on being politically correct, which, in most cases, is indeed a secure and beneficial practice, but it can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships. Europeans, on the contrary, are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways. Each way of communication is different—neither is correct or incorrect.
28.What does the author say about smiling
A.It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
B.It is culture-related within Western countries.
C.It is thought of as a sign of a fool in America.
D.It is regarded as a social necessity in Europe.
29.What is typical of Europeans communication
A.Beating around the bush.
B.Hiding their feelings carefully.
C.Expressing themselves openly.
D.Having small talk and chats.
30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Being politically correct.
B.Being straightforward.
C.Accepting everything new.
D.Raising unbelievable conservatives.
31.What is the passage mainly talking about
A.Ways of communication in American society.
B.Ways of communication in European society.
C.The differences between Americans and Europeans.
D.Cultural differences in Western countries.
D
For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply(服从), but we ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now—a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned a kind of magical dog translator harness(背带). What s special about it is that it doesn t just rely on the dog s vocalizations to interpret what they are banging on about.
Oh no—this magical harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs body language as well, giving us a full two-way dog communication experience.
Researcher David Roberts says,“Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges is to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely.”
Sensors on the harness monitor the dog s heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling.
What would dogs say if they could talk to us The human can even communicate with the dog through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog s senses so that it can understand what you re trying to say to it.
The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work, but it s got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can coexist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times.
32.Why can t people communicate with dogs
A.They have difficulty understanding dogs barks and whimpers.
B.They have no idea about dogs behavior in relation to their posture.
C.They don t know how to tell dogs what they want them to do.
D.They don t have a machine to translate the dogs language.
33.What does the underlined word most probably mean in Paragraph 2
A.Bought. B.Researched.
C.Influenced. D.Made.
34.For what purpose is the dog harness designed
A.It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them.
B.It is designed for dogs to communicate with people through body language.
C.It is designed to monitor the dogs heart rate and body temperature.
D.It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front-line work.
35.What is the author s attitude towards the possible human-dog communication
A.Shocked. B.Excited.
C.Embarrassed. D.Annoyed.

Failure is a word that no one wants to hear. It is human beings biggest fear, yet it is faced by every human being. Sometimes, people s fear of it is their biggest barrier to success. 36 Here are some tips which can help you focus on the positive side of life.
Say no to giving up. Before starting anything that you think will give you success, promise yourself that you will never give up. This promise helps make your mind ready for both failure and success. But what if you didn t do that from the start 37
Learn from your mistakes. This is the opportunity that you should not let go of. Suppose you are on a football ground. 38 But at the tenth attempt, you succeed after 9 failures or mistakes in a row. The tenth attempt proves that you have somehow learnt from your mistakes.
Never think that you ve got only one plan. The worst thing you can do after failing in some project is thinking that it was the only plan you could ever think of. 39 If Plan A fails, turn to Plan B or Plan C. If you are into achieving something, no one or nothing in this world can stop you.
40 This is the most important thing that you need to live a happy life. Always think positive. Never let yourself down. Positivity is all we need to grow and establish ourselves in this world.
A.Keep a positive attitude.
B.There is always another plan.
C.Change the failure into victory.
D.In fact, most people strongly deny it.
E.Then always remember that it is never too late.
F.You strike the ball for 9 times in a row but fail.
G.Therefore, you need to learn how to deal with failure.

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 football season was almost over. Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. However, Sally still had not scored one single goal.
Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn t kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club.
“Don t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated(沮丧的). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted(噘嘴).
The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelaces, and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.”
Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn t get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued.
The score was tied at 1-1. The green team was pretty good, but Sally s orange team was faster. The girls ponytails(马尾辫)bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically(拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally s heart was no longer in it.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了波多黎各著名的喜剧演员Raymond Arrieta的事迹。
56.them 考查代词。句意:波多黎各著名喜剧演员Raymond Arrieta知道,振奋人们情绪的最佳方式之一就是逗他们笑。本空在句中作动词make的宾语,故应用人称代词的宾格形式。
57.a 考查冠词。句意:Arrieta在波多黎各有自己的电视节目,他做的是单口喜剧,他说,小时候他就喜欢表演。as a child意为“小时候”。
58.making 考查动名词。句意:他坚持做喜剧,因为他喜欢逗他的朋友们笑。enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”,故本空应用动名词形式作宾语。
59.began 考查时态。句意:Arrieta在波多黎各圣心大学获得广播电视制作学位后,开始在附近的一家咖啡馆表演。本句动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。
60.asked 考查过去分词。句意为“当被问及他对那些想成为喜剧演员的人有什么建议时,他说:‘当你有自己的节目时,这对你来说意义更大。你会回头微笑,想想你已经走了多远。’”此处是状语从句的省略,动词ask和主语he之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式。

63.ages 考查名词复数。句意:各个年龄段的人都和他一起走。此处age为可数名词,根据空前的all可知,本空应用可数名词的复数形式。

One possible version:
Why We Need Humour in Our Life
We badly need humour in our life. There are various reasons.
Firstly, it is important for us to set ourselves free from hard work for a while. Humour can help relieve us of such pressure. Secondly, humour can make people laugh and feel happy. It makes us attractive and people will never feel dull together with us. Thirdly, humour can always keep us in high spirits, which will do good to both our mental and physical health. Fourthly, humour makes us laugh at a time when we feel depressed so we can feel more content with our lives.
In a word, humour is very important to all of us. Let s fully enjoy humour in our lives.
第二节
One possible version:
Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. She could be a member of the hip hop club, which her best friend Tracy kept talking about. She imagined herself dancing on the stage of a big hall with thousands of people cheering on her. She could also try a different sport, like jogging or cycling. Anyway, football would be her last choice. Just as her mind was wandering, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was her mother. “Stay focused. You can do it.”
Recalling her mother s words, Sally was woken from her daydream. At that very moment, her teammate passed the ball to her. She took control of it and ran it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the green team. She passed a few players and soon positioned herself right in front of the net. Focused on the ball, she kicked it as hard as she could. The referee blew his whistle “Goal!” Sally s team won. Her mom was right. All she had to do was stay focused.
