二、阅读理解
When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied(欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation(感激) I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful for those books the authors(作者) wrote. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so that I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After going through terrible experiences at school, I made a choice to take the positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change people’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect(建筑师) of positive change.

答案以及解析
一、单项选择
1.答案：C
解析：句意：中国首都北京是一个有悠久历史的城市。考查冠词用法。/零冠词；a不定冠词，表泛指；the定冠词，表特指。根据“capital of China,”可知此处特指中国首都，用定冠词the；第二个空泛指一个城市，用不定冠词a修饰。故选C。
2.答案：C
解析：句意：“李明，先完成作业，然后你可以看30分钟电视”，他的妈妈说。考查祈使句。根据“...your homework first, and you can watch TV for 30 minutes”可知，此处应是句式“祈使句+and+陈述句”，句中的祈使句应以动词原形开头。故选C。
3.答案：A
解析：句意：—我感到很紧张，我该怎么办？—你最好听听能帮助你放松的音乐。考查定语从句和情景交际。helps you relax帮你放松；you can dance你能跳舞；makes you sad让你伤心。分析句子可知，that后是定语从句，修饰名词music，B项语法上错误，应是you can dance to；结合“I feel so nervous, what should I do ”可知，空处给出的建议应是帮助对方消除紧张，所以A项符合语境，故选A。
4.答案：A
解析：点拨:根据后面句子中的also可知是包括《西游记》在内, 她还读了《小妇人》。只有besides“除了……还有”符合语境。
5.答案：A
解析：句意: 除了汤姆, 所有的学生都去了科学博物馆。因为他病了。考查词义辨析。except除了（不包括 besides除了（包括)；expect期待。根据 “Because he is ill。”可知, 汤姆病了, 所以除了他, 都去了博物馆。故选A.
6.答案：B
解析：stick to doing sth. 意为“坚持做某事”,故选B 项。
7.答案：A
解析：分析句子结构可知,设空处为谓语动词,此句时态是一般现在时,主语dream是第三人称单数,所以应用encourages。
8.答案：C
解析：根据"I have to study for a test."可知,此处应对不能去儿童游乐中心感到很遗憾。故选C项。
9.答案：B
解析：分析句子结构可知,此处引导定语从句,先行词nation为物,关系词在从句中作主语,且先行词被序数词修饰,所以应用that。
10.答案：B
解析：根据next year可知用一般将来时,故选B项。

12.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people，specifically teenagers，and help them feel less alone.（我意识到我的人生目标是接触人们，尤其是青少年，帮助他们减少孤独感。）可知，志愿者工作结束后，作者的人生目标是帮助青少年，让他们不那么孤独。故选：A。

14.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。通读全文，根据最后一段 Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change people's life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness，you become an architect（建筑师） of positive change.（在我最需要帮助的时候，善良救了我。即使是小小的善举也能改变人们的生活。你永远不知道别人在经历什么。但通过每天练习善意，你就会成为积极变革的建筑师。）可知，我们能从课文中学到善良可以改变人们的生活。故选：B。
