二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer.
When Dr Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life's goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture (水分).I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He would plant an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Td watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They're extremely tall, big and robust However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had taken care of them for several years.
Adversity (逆境) and suffering seemed to benefit these trees of Dr Gibbs in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often hope that their lives will be easy. But I think it's time to change my wish because now l know my children are going to encounter hardship.
11.What can we know according to Dr Gibbs' theories
A. Trees will die soon if they are lacking in care.
B. Trees will become weaker if they are watered.
C. Trees will grow better if they are weeded out.
D. Trees will bear fruit if they are beaten.
12.What does the underlined word “robust” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A. Strong. B. Strange. C. Deep. D.Old.
13.What is the author's wish for his two sons now
A. To fly higher and touch the sky. B. To meet people like Dr Gibbs.
C. To be strong when meet difficulties. D.To lead a life of comfort and ease.
14.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. A Nice Doctor B. The Deep Roots
C. Adversity and Suffering D. My Childhood Memory
三、七选五（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
Growing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.

Often, we see how bad people look when they get overly disheartened due to unimportant things. As a consequence, the first sign of maturity is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn't go as you planned.
You start forgiving and understanding other people.
When we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we grow mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. ② _____ It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.

Immature people don't know when to commit themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. ③ _____ In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.
You accept the possibility of being wrong.
④ _____ They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong or they don't know something, because there is always more to learn. Being mature is knowing that you are always growing up.

A. You follow the crowd.
B.You let the small things go.
C. Instead, mature people focus on completing things that matter.
D.Immature and mature people can both have plans for their lives.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：will be wearing
解析：句意为:别担心,你不会看不见他的。哪时他将穿着一件红色的T恤。根据won't和句末的at that time可判断出,设空处应使用将来进行时。故填will be wearing。
2.答案：will be flying
解析：句意为:我感到很兴奋!明天早上这个时候,我将正飞往上海。句中时间状语是At this time tomorrow morning,即“明天早上这个时候”,“我”将正在飞往上海,表示按照计划即将要发生的动作,使用将来进行时。故填will be flying。
3.答案：intimately
解析：句意为:社交媒体让用户可以密切、即时地参与到新闻事件中。设空处和immediately并列,作状语,修饰动词 experience,故使用副词形式intimately。
4.答案：will be using
解析：句意为:非常抱歉,明天早上我不能把车借给你,因为那会儿我得用它。从句中的时间状语 then 指tomorrow morning这个将来的时间;根据句意可知,明天早上“我”将正在使用它,且此处表示不能借车的原因,使用将来进行时。故填 will be using。
5.答案： evidence
解析：句意为:越来越多的证据表明,熬夜对人们的健康有严重的影响。此处为There be句型,设空处作主语,其前有形容词 growing修饰,应用名词evidence,意为“证据”,为不可数名词。that引导同位语从句,解释说明 evidence的内容。故填 evidence。
6.答案：disheartening
解析：句意为:一学期拿不到A是令人沮丧的,但重要的是有前进的动力。句首的It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语not to get an A in a semester,这件事是“令人沮丧的”。故填disheartening。
7.答案：will be working
解析：句意为:我想她会一直做这个实验直到第二天早上。根据 I think 并结合句意可知,这是在预测她会在将来的某一段时间内持续进行的动作,故使用将来进行时。故填will be working。
8.答案：will be travelling
解析：句意为:希娜告诉我,她明天不能去参加招待会了,因为她要去班加罗尔。根据句意可知,希娜去班加罗尔是明天开招待会的时候,且此处为不能去招待会的原因,应用将来进行时。故填will be travelling。
9.答案：writing
解析：句意为:1580年,彼得退隐到瑞士,在那里他全身心投入写作中。此处考查devote oneself to (doing) sth,表示“某人致和于(做)某事”,该短语中的to是介词。此处表示“写作”,故填writing。
10.答案：consequences
解析：句意为:一些专家担心过早接触电脑会对儿童的发育产生有害影响。设空处作have的宾语,空前有形容词 harmful 修饰,应用名词;consequence 意为“结果;后果”,为可数名词,此处应用复数形式表泛指。故填 consequences。
二、阅读理解
11.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker.可知,根据吉布斯医生的理论,如果给树木浇水,它们会变得更弱。故选B项。
12.答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据上文They're extremely tall, big 和下文However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I’d taken care of them for several years.可知,通过对比作者发现,自己的树经过照料却在寒风中颤抖,而邻居家的树长得十分高大,由此可推测robust也指的是树木的优点,表示树更“强壮”,故画线词表示“强壮的”。故选A项。
13.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容和最后一段中的I often hope that their lives will be easy. But I think it's time to change my wish because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.可知,作者改变了之前对孩子们的祝愿,知道他们以后终会遇到困难,所以可推知现在作者希望孩子们能在遇到困难时坚强。故选C项。
14.答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树理论,如不给树浇水等,他种的树最后长得非常高大强壮,并经得起风吹雨打,因为树的根扎得非常深,作者由此想到自己的孩子们以后将会遇到困难,所以祈祷孩子们能像大树一样深深扎根在泥土里,能经得起风雨的洗礼。故B变“深深的根”适合作为文章最佳标题。故选B项。
三、七选五
答案：BFCGE
解析：①主旨句。设空处为本段主旨句,根据本段内容“通常,我们看到人们因为不重要的事情而过度沮丧时的样子是多么糟糕。所以成熟的第一个标志就是让小事过去,不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气”可知,B项(你不计较小事)能概括本段内容,是成熟的迹象之一。故选B。
②细节句。结合本段主旨句“你开始原谅和理解别人”和空前“随着我们变得成熟,我们更能理解这个并不是黑白分明的世界”可知,F项(变得更加善解人意是一种力量,而不是软弱)与本段话题一致,并且空后的“It”指代F项中的“Becoming more understanding”,空后表示“它使我们能够超越显而易见的事物,放弃简单的判断”,符合语境。故选F。
③过渡句。根据空前内容“不成熟的人不知道什么时候该做出承诺,他们的精力和资源总是得不到很好的利用”及空后“通过这种方式,他们通常可以遵守并履行他们的承诺”并结合选项可知,C项(相反,成熟的人专注于完成重要的事)承上启下,符合此处语境,说明成熟的人会怎么做,与空前介绍的不成熟的人的情况形成对照,同时引出后文对成熟的人的进一步介绍,且C项中的“completing things that matter”与本段主旨句“You always complete things that matter.”呼应,故选C。
④细节句。本段围绕主旨句“你接受犯错的可能性”展开。设空处后文主语是“They”,根据后文“他们总是能够接受自己错了或不了解某事的可能性,因为总有更多的东西需要学习”可知,G项(成熟的人看起来更自信,但不是过度自信)符合语境,且G项中的“not over confident”对应后文的“accept the possibility that they are wrong or they don’t know something”。故选G。
⑤细节句。根据空前“你永远不会停止学习和发展,这意味着你没有把自己设定为最高权威”可知,E项(相反,你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性)与前文主语一致,且与前文中的“done learning and developing”构成转折,指出“你没有把自己设定为最高权威”这种特性会导致的结果,符合语境。故选E。
四、书面表达
答案：
Dear Kate,
How is it going I'm glad to learn that you show great interest in the coming-of-age ceremony held by our school recently. Now let me tell you something about it in detail.
It was held in the Great Hall of our school between 9:00 am and 11:30 am last Friday. First, all the students present sang the national song together. Then followed the wishes from the teachers.

二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
Personal growth doesn't necessarily only happen when the conditions are perfect. Seeds tend to develop only when conditions are right. A seed will remain dormant (休眠的) until moisture (湿度) and temperature are favourable for growth. Unfortunately, as humans, we don't always have the luxury of growing when conditions are just right. Sometimes you must cultivate personal growth and flower where you're planted, often in spite of external circumstances.
For much of my life, T let external circumstances determine my happiness. If things weren't going well, then I wasn't well .I told myself that I would be happier if conditions were right. With this mindset, I gave myself permission to stay emotionally dormant. I was waiting for things around me to change before I would do the work to become a better version of myself. In other words, I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances.
The problem with waiting for change outside of yourself is that you might have to wait a very long time, maybe even forever. And if you stay dormant while waiting, you aren't growing. You're simply stuck in place. You certainly aren't becoming the better version of yourself that you want to be.
If you want to engage in personal growth, like planting seeds, you have to do some work to make it happen. You can't wait around for everything to fall into place. Start with pulling up your emotional weeds. Examine yourself and remove the negative thoughts and behaviours that are holding you back. Then, work on the foundation that you have. Practise positive life habits that build your self-respect and happiness.
Personal growth is something you can struggle for, it may not come naturally, but when you develop this mindset, you will flower no matter where you're planted.
11.What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph
A. To stress the importance of personal effort in growth.
B. To complain about the lack of perfect conditions.
C. To highlight the influence of external circumstances.
D. To compare human development and seed growth.
12.Which of the following affected the author's growth most in the past
A. Personal experiences. B. Outside environment.
C. A sense of timing. D. Positive thoughts.
13.What does the author advise people to do to better themselves
A. To look for the right conditions.
B. To get emotionally prepared for failures.
C. To stop waiting and take action.
D. To keep themselves pure through gardening.
14.What is the best title for the text
A. Happiness: You Are Your Own Master
B. Life Journey: Insist Till Efforts Bear Fruits
C. Growth: Flower in Any Circumstances
D. Life Changes: The Chance Is in Your Possession

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There's one answer:①_______In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips.

三、七选五
答案：GEBCF
解析：①根据空前的"There's one answer"可知,本空要回答前面的问题"What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common "(交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处呢 )。根据文章标题"Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person"和常识可知,这三种情况都需要人们多点耐心,故G项符合语境。
②本段第一句讲到了"Thankfulness has a lot of benefits"(感恩有很多好处),空前讲到了一些好处"it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic"(它让我们更快乐、压力更小,甚至更乐观),因此,空处讲到的应该还是好处,且涉及主题"耐心",故E项"它也可以帮助我们练习更有耐心"符合语境,E项中的also与上句形成了递进关系。
③根据空前的"the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice" (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)可知,空处讲到的应该是如何练习,结合空后的"Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake"(把看你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末,或者多等10分钟再去吃那个蛋糕)可知,此处讲到的都是一些细小的事情。B项"从小任务开始"承上启下,故B项符合语境。
④本空考查段落主旨句。根据本段中的"when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances"(当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对状况感到不耐烦)可知,本段主要围绕如何在不舒服的情况下培养耐心展开,故C项"接受不舒服"适合作本段的主旨句。
⑤本段王要讲到了"接受不舒服",因此,空处讲到的也是在不舒服的情况下,自己可以给自己的心理暗示,故F项"This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable"(这只是令人不舒服,并不是让人无法忍受)符合语境,且能引出下文"You'll then gradually become more patient"(然后,你就会逐渐变得更加有耐心)。
四、书面表达
答案：
Hello, everyone,
As senior students, we should start thinking about the future and what we want to do after graduation. As we all know, with the development of society, there are so many options available to us, but which one suits us most
Some jobs may seem very dull but are vital to society, without which people would be unable to live their daily lives, while others can appear very exciting but are actually difficult and boring, which sometimes impose huge pressure on those involved in them.
Therefore, considering our future career, remember that all jobs together help society function properly.
Thank you.
