Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said： "Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week."
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染） other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，"But I'm just not creative."
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep？"
"Oh，sure."
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams." The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. "That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？"
"Nobody.I do it."
"Really—at night，when you're asleep？"
"Sure."
"Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？"
4.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _____.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students' interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
5.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？ _____
A．He liked to help his teacher.
B．He preferred to study alone.
C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
6.What does the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ _____
A．Mistake. B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty. D．Burden.
7.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？ _____
A．To help them to see their creativity.
B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common，the market is growing for biometric（生物测量）technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces.At present，these technologies are still expensive，though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device（装置）that gets around this problem：a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence（节奏）with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each person.Thus，the keyboard can determine people's identities，and by extension，whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology，the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed，with very low error rates.The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive，plastic-like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
8.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard？ _____
A．To reduce pressure on keys.
B．To improve accuracy in typing.
C．To replace the password system.
D．To cut the cost of e-space protection.
9.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible？ _____
A．Computers are much easier to operate.
B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D．Data security measures are guaranteed.
10.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard？ _____
A．It'll be environment-friendly.
B．It'll reach consumers soon.
C．It'll be made of plastics.
D．It'll help speed up typing.
11.Where is this text most likely from？ _____
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A novel.
D．A magazine.
D
Lapland's reindeer （驯鹿） grow well in winters of -300℃ and even colder.So when rain falls instead of snow during the coldest months in the Arctic，it makes food hard to get for them.Now one of the best-loved symbols of Christmas is probably dying out.Numbers have fallen by over half in the last two decades as the place warms at four times the global average rate.
The animals are used to pull sleigh （雪橇） rides for tourists.The rides are part of Lapland winter wonderland experiences in thousands of British tourists each year.But this year the working herd had to be moved 60 miles further north due to the absence of snow.As a result， they can't be provided in some areas，making it hard for people to earn a living.
Lapland is often described as Europe's last great wilderness，home to lynxes，brown bears，wolverines and golden eagles.Tourism is a big part of the economy，and the town of Rovaniemi is also the "official home of Santa Claus".But changing climate （气候） is threatening its tourism industry.A report by The Finnish Climate Change Panel warns of flooding and increased rainfall，with Rovaniemi most at risk.Firms that rely on snow "will have great effects on visit levels" and these industries may be forced further north.
Erkkila of the Arctic Husky Park in Rovaniemi says： "Tourists see pictures of the Santa Claus village covered in snow and when they get here they think， 'Is this the winter wonderland？'." The Husky Park bought a wheeled cart （车） six years ago as a replacement for sleigh rides when the snow fails.
In the past it was thought the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.But a report published last week by scientists showed the rate is actually four times the global average.
12.What causes the drop in Lapland's reindeer population？ _____
A．Cold winter.
B．Polluted habitats.
C．Heavy snow.
D．Rising temperatures.
13.What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to？ _____
A．Rides.
B．Animals.
C．Experiences.
D．Tourists.
14.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？ _____
A．Lapland is home to various wildlife.
B．Increased rainfall threatens Rovaniemi.
C．Rovaniemi is official home of Santa Claus.
D．Changing climate affects Lapland's tourism.
15.What does Erkkila say about tourists to Rovaniemi？ _____
A．They feel excited.
B．They are disappointed.
C．They enjoy themselves.
D．They prefer wheeled carts.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You？
We all grew up hearing people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air." 16 According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good.
17 If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.
Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us.Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
20 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin，they also give us beneficial Vitamin D.To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside.It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working，and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B.So what are you waiting for？
C.Being in nature refreshes us.
D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said？
F.Just as importantly，we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G.All across the country，recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do, I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for fifty dollars, Ms. ” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said, “my mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地).

第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气的好处：新鲜空气中的氧气，阳光对人们的身心健康均有好处。人们已经开始利用大自然和治愈疾病的关系，建造"康复花园"，治疗病人了。
16.E.细节理解题。根据下一句中的"the answer is a big YES"可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。故选E：但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？空前的people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air"和选项中的"your mother always said"亦是呼应。故选E。
17.A.推理判断题。根据下一句中提到的"If the air you're breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen"可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。下文中"…breathe more deeply，allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain"是对前文的递进：在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A选项：新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部。故选A。
18.G.细节理解题。根据下一句中提到的"these places"可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故选项G：在全国，康复中心已经开始建造"康复花园"。these places就是指Healing Gardens。故选G。
19.C.推理判断题。前文介绍的是"康复花园"中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好。空后提到"它给我们一种平和感"。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于"康复花园"这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故C选项切题：身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。故选C。
20.D.细节理解题。根据下文中提到的"the sun's rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D"可知，该段介绍的阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D：获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。故选D。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了埃及在尼罗河上修建大坝时，在发展和文化遗址保护之间保持了正确的平衡。
36.考查动名词。句意：在发展和文化遗址保护之间保持正确的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少主语，所以用动名词作主语，故填Keeping。
37.考查冠词。句意：在发展和文化遗址保护之间保持正确的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。名词challenge作为"挑战"之意时为可数名词。形容词big发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词，故填a。

43.考查定语从句。句意：寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块地拆除，然后转移到一个远离水的地方。句中先行词为place，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导，故填where。
44.考查形容词。句意：成千上万的工程师和工人总共拯救了22座寺庙和无数的文物。修饰名词cultural relics，用形容词，countless"无数的"符合语境，故填countless。
45.考查代词。句意：这些国家不仅找到了通往未来的道路，而且还认识到，各国有可能共同努力，建设一个更美好的明天。本句为宾语从句，从句中用it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式to work together to build a better tomorrow，故填it。

Dear Peter，
How's everything going？I'm writing to share my experience in the high school English speech contest of the city last week.
With weeks of practice ahead of time，I walked to the stage confidently and hopefully.Fear tool over me for some seconds before I recovered myself and made my speech fluently.All my efforts finally paid off when there came thunderous applause—I won the first prize.
Though challenging，the contest turned out rewarding. As the saying goes，you reap what you sow.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely，

第二节（满分25分）
Eric stopped his car and followed the young man. The young man went up to a small monument， and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret I didn’t tell it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses. But why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret I didn’t tell you I love you so much!”
Eric went into the car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for too long a time. He didn’t have a talk with her for too long a time and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He turned the car and drove towards the road quickly to the flower shop. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.

Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said： "Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week."
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染） other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，"But I'm just not creative."
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep？"
"Oh，sure."
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams." The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. "That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？"
"Nobody.I do it."
"Really—at night，when you're asleep？"
"Sure."
"Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？"
4.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _____.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students' interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
5.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？ _____

C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
6.What does the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ _____
A．Mistake. B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty. D．Burden.

B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common，the market is growing for biometric（生物测量）technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces.At present，these technologies are still expensive，though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device（装置）that gets around this problem：a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence（节奏）with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each person.Thus，the keyboard can determine people's identities，and by extension，whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology，the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed，with very low error rates.The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive，plastic-like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
8.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard？ _____
A．To reduce pressure on keys.
B．To improve accuracy in typing.
C．To replace the password system.
D．To cut the cost of e-space protection.
9.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible？ _____
A．Computers are much easier to operate.
B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D．Data security measures are guaranteed.
10.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard？ _____
A．It'll be environment-friendly.
B．It'll reach consumers soon.
C．It'll be made of plastics.
D．It'll help speed up typing.
11.Where is this text most likely from？ _____
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A novel.
D．A magazine.
D
Lapland's reindeer （驯鹿） grow well in winters of -300℃ and even colder.So when rain falls instead of snow during the coldest months in the Arctic，it makes food hard to get for them.Now one of the best-loved symbols of Christmas is probably dying out.Numbers have fallen by over half in the last two decades as the place warms at four times the global average rate.
The animals are used to pull sleigh （雪橇） rides for tourists.The rides are part of Lapland winter wonderland experiences in thousands of British tourists each year.But this year the working herd had to be moved 60 miles further north due to the absence of snow.As a result， they can't be provided in some areas，making it hard for people to earn a living.
Lapland is often described as Europe's last great wilderness，home to lynxes，brown bears，wolverines and golden eagles.Tourism is a big part of the economy，and the town of Rovaniemi is also the "official home of Santa Claus".But changing climate （气候） is threatening its tourism industry.A report by The Finnish Climate Change Panel warns of flooding and increased rainfall，with Rovaniemi most at risk.Firms that rely on snow "will have great effects on visit levels" and these industries may be forced further north.
Erkkila of the Arctic Husky Park in Rovaniemi says： "Tourists see pictures of the Santa Claus village covered in snow and when they get here they think， 'Is this the winter wonderland？'." The Husky Park bought a wheeled cart （车） six years ago as a replacement for sleigh rides when the snow fails.
In the past it was thought the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.But a report published last week by scientists showed the rate is actually four times the global average.
12.What causes the drop in Lapland's reindeer population？ _____
A．Cold winter.
B．Polluted habitats.
C．Heavy snow.
D．Rising temperatures.
13.What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to？ _____
A．Rides.
B．Animals.
C．Experiences.
D．Tourists.
14.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？ _____
A．Lapland is home to various wildlife.
B．Increased rainfall threatens Rovaniemi.
C．Rovaniemi is official home of Santa Claus.
D．Changing climate affects Lapland's tourism.
15.What does Erkkila say about tourists to Rovaniemi？ _____
A．They feel excited.
B．They are disappointed.
C．They enjoy themselves.
D．They prefer wheeled carts.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You？
We all grew up hearing people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air." 16 According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good.
17 If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.
Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us.Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
20 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin，they also give us beneficial Vitamin D.To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside.It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working，and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B.So what are you waiting for？
C.Being in nature refreshes us.
D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said？
F.Just as importantly，we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G.All across the country，recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do, I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for fifty dollars, Ms. ” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said, “my mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地).

13.A.代词指代题。根据第二段The animals are used to pull sleigh （雪橇） rides for tourists.The rides are part of Lapland winter wonderland experiences in thousands of British tourists each year.But this year the working herd had to be moved 60 miles further north due to the absence of snow.As a result，they can't be provided in some areas，making it hard for people to earn a living.（这些动物被用来为游客拉雪橇。这些游乐设施是每年数千名英国游客在拉普兰冬季仙境体验的一部分。但今年由于没有雪，工作牛群不得不向北移动60英里。因此，在某些地区无法提供这些服务，使人们难以谋生。）可知，划线词they指代上文提到的"乘坐雪橇（rides）"。故选A。
14.D.段落大意题。根据第三段内容，尤其是第三句But changing climate（气候）is threatening its tourism industry.（但气候变化正在威胁其旅游业）可知，本段主要介绍了气候变化影响了拉普兰的旅游业。故选D。

第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气的好处：新鲜空气中的氧气，阳光对人们的身心健康均有好处。人们已经开始利用大自然和治愈疾病的关系，建造"康复花园"，治疗病人了。
16.E.细节理解题。根据下一句中的"the answer is a big YES"可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。故选E：但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？空前的people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air"和选项中的"your mother always said"亦是呼应。故选E。
17.A.推理判断题。根据下一句中提到的"If the air you're breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen"可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。下文中"…breathe more deeply，allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain"是对前文的递进：在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A选项：新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部。故选A。
18.G.细节理解题。根据下一句中提到的"these places"可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故选项G：在全国，康复中心已经开始建造"康复花园"。these places就是指Healing Gardens。故选G。
19.C.推理判断题。前文介绍的是"康复花园"中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好。空后提到"它给我们一种平和感"。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于"康复花园"这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故C选项切题：身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。故选C。
20.D.细节理解题。根据下文中提到的"the sun's rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D"可知，该段介绍的阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D：获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。故选D。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了埃及在尼罗河上修建大坝时，在发展和文化遗址保护之间保持了正确的平衡。

37.考查冠词。句意：在发展和文化遗址保护之间保持正确的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。名词challenge作为"挑战"之意时为可数名词。形容词big发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词，故填a。

Dear Peter，
How's everything going？I'm writing to share my experience in the high school English speech contest of the city last week.
With weeks of practice ahead of time，I walked to the stage confidently and hopefully.Fear tool over me for some seconds before I recovered myself and made my speech fluently.All my efforts finally paid off when there came thunderous applause—I won the first prize.
Though challenging，the contest turned out rewarding. As the saying goes，you reap what you sow.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节（满分25分）
Eric stopped his car and followed the young man. The young man went up to a small monument， and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret I didn’t tell it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses. But why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret I didn’t tell you I love you so much!”
Eric went into the car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for too long a time. He didn’t have a talk with her for too long a time and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He turned the car and drove towards the road quickly to the flower shop. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
