Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations（限制）, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals. We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life.
Through the Internet, I have recently met an individual (个人) whom I found to be very inspiring. He has a positive attitude; he focuses on what he can do. To name a few of his accomplishments: he has set a world record, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records; he is an international poet with over 900 publications; he is an advocate (拥护者) for the disabled; he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week; he is an ambassador (大使) for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation; he has created his own website—http://wheelierecord. / index. html. And the list could go on!
The individual is Robert M．Hensel. You see, Robert was born spina bifida(脊柱裂), a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an influence on the kidneys (肾脏). Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements, yet he has accomplished more than many. His attitude to life is one that, for me, is inspiring! To quote Robert, “I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.”
Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes. Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do, but focus on what you can do！
24．What stops us from achieving success according to the author
A．Negative attitudes B．Constant changes
C．Too high goals D．Various limitations
25．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．A disease B．A disability
C．An attitude D．A story
26．Why has Robert M．Hensel made many achievements in his life
A．He has never changed his attitude to life.
B．He always looks beyond his strengths.
C．He takes advantage of his disability.
D．He concentrates on what he can do.
27．How does the author support his idea in the text
A．By offering examples B．By comparing attitudes
C．By analyzing limitations D．By telling stories
C
School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A．That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places, uniforms(制服) remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s
“creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality. They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
28．In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means ______.
A．tasks B．messages C．differences D．advantages
29．From the passage we learn that uniforms in general（大体上） _______.
A．prevent the wearers from being laughed at B．help the wearers keep their duties in mind
C．are seen as a symbol of power D．help to create social barriers（社会障碍）
30．Some people are against school uniforms because ______.
A．they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
B．they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
C．they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
D．they think that school uniforms are too popular
31．The author would probably agree that ______.
A．it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B．School Uniforms are welcomed by all students
C．students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D．school uniforms help to create equality among students
D
When people think of Beijing, the hutong style always comes to mind. It is no exaggeration (夸张) to say within hutong lives the city’s history.
The word “hutong” referred to a place where people live, which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago. Hutong we see today are made up of small paths formed by walls of siheyuan. They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
When the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3,000 hutong. Most of the city’s population lived in this traditional housing. But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutong were pulled down to build roads, skyscrapers and modern houses.
The government has recognized the importance of hutong to Chinese cultural heritage. In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key relics and older streets in the city. Nearly 500 hutong have survived.
Hutong that still exist are like oases (绿洲) of calm in the noisy city. Walking through them, it’s common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards, mahjong (麻将) or Chinese chess. In the early mornings and evenings, they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taijiquan as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera. Hutong have become a museum of Beijing’s folk customs and history.
32．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To add background information of hutong. B．To bring in the topic of the context.
C．To stress the importance of hutong. D．To introduce the benefits of hutong.
33．What happened to hutong in Beijing in 2002
A．More hutong were built. B．Lots of hutong disappeared.
C．Most hutong became historical zones. D．Some hutong were placed under protection.
34．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The future of hutong. B．The change of hutong.
C．The beauty of hutong life. D．The history of hutong life.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards Hutong protection
A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Supportive. D．Doubtful.

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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird " Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised（承诺） to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter. David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!" Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary（字典）—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list(单词表). “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，”he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie". Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.

36．A 37．B 38．E 39．D 40．F
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了每天早睡一小时的四项好处。
36．根据下文“you’ll avoid a late night overeating and fat storage.”(你就会避免深夜暴饮暴食和脂肪堆积。)是上文“Why Your sleepy brain is more likely to want fatty, high-calorie snacks in the late hours of night.”(为什么 在深夜，你昏昏欲睡的大脑更有可能想吃高脂肪、高热量的零食。)相反的结果，所以空处应填的是与上文情形相反的假设，而A项“If you go to bed earlier”(如果你早点睡觉)正是上文晚睡相反的情形，故选A。
37．根据整篇结构分析空格处属于标题句，再结合选项与前后两个标题句结构相一致的只有B项和C项，下文“Getting more sleep makes your immune (免疫的) system work better.”(获得更多的睡眠会使你的免疫系统更好的工作。)提到的是使你的免疫系统更好的工作与B项“You’ll get sick less often”（你会少生病）前后照应，故选B。
38．上文标题 “You’ll be more productive”(你会更有效率)，而E项“Sleeping later in the evening can ruin your workday”(晚上睡得太晚会毁了你的工作日。)是对标题的反面照应；下文 “In fact, one study found that people performed 30 percent better on a puzzle by day after waking up from a deep sleep than from light one.”(事实上，一项研究发现，人们从深度睡眠中醒来后，白天做拼图的表现比从轻度睡眠中醒来时要好30%。)对E项的进一步例证，前后一致，故选E。
39．上文“Sleeping earlier by just one hour can give you a competitive advantage at work.”(早睡一个小时可以给你在工作中一个竞争优势。)说明了早睡一个小时的好处与D项“That can make you more successful at your job”(这会让你在工作上更成功。)前后照应，故选D。
40．上文“Studies have shown that adults who habitually sleep less than six and a half hours per night are easier to get heart disease, and high blood pressure,”(研究表明，习惯每晚睡眠少于6个半小时的成年人更容易患心脏病和高血压，)而F项“Even if you have a healthy diet and regular gym time”(即使你有健康的饮食和规律的锻炼时间)与上文语义上构成让步关系同时也能更加突出下文“an earlier bedtime can be a huge plus for your life length.”（早睡也会为你的寿命大大增加。）照应主题，故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了互联网改变了简的生活的故事。
56．考查现在分词。句意：有无数的文章告诉我们互联网如何使我们的生活更方便。分析句子，句中are为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。此处articles与tell之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词作定语。故填telling。
