When I was 25, I dreamed of crown (皇冠). That was the summer I made the shortlist for a
female novel prize. The winner was to be announced at a televised event. I was very excited and
imagined myself on TV, A crown would be on my head. And then in August of that year, the prize
was cancelled for some reason. I was disappointed but still full of hope.
To me, writing has always been an exciting act, especially the early moments of creation. This
excitement inspired me through years of writing. I published several books, and my sense of
achievement grew, yet I was also flooded with rejection letters. Several adult novels that I worked on
for years came to nothing.
By the time I turned 40, these rejection letters began to eat away at my hope. I had always
高一年级英语试题 第 1 页 共 7 页
known that my books weren’t going to make me rich, but I couldn’t help feeling disappointed that
my writing career hadn’t become something more. Actually, I worked less teaching hours, and sent
my kids off to pre-school so I could write, but I felt so little had come from it. When my publisher
stopped publishing books, sadness hung over me.
The following years were tough. I still wrote because I didn’t know what else to do. I stopped
trying to believe that writing was going to support me financially and then an unexpected thing
happened: writing became hopeful again. My younger dreams of being a famous writer have given
way to more middle-aged satisfactions: the children who tell me they read my books and liked them,
my students who say they saw me in a local magazine. Small things are a new kind of hope.
Recently, for my 50th birthday, I went to China with my friend. We were in a gift shop when a
crown caught my eye. I bought it for myself, and wore it for my birthday party, just for fun.
24. What can be learned about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She achieved a lot in adult novel. B. She took pride in being a YA writer.
C. She attended a novel competition on TV. D. She got a crown as a prize for the winner.
25. According to paragraph 3, why did the author feel disappointed about her writing career
A. Writing didn’t reward her with wealth. B. Writing took up too much of her time.
C. She made little advance in writing. D. She lost chances to teach her kids.
26. Why does the author mention the children and her students in paragraph 4
A. To explain a new hope. B. To stress a good relationship.
C. To compare small things. D. To prove the popularity of her books.
27. The author bought herself a crown because .
A. she wanted to praise herself B. it represents Chinese culture
C. it would make her party special D. she has made peace with her dream
C
Have you ever made a mistake Mistakes make us feel silly but everyone makes them. Even
scientists, who often appear to know exactly what they are doing, are guilty of having accidents. The
truth is, mistakes can often make science exciting because they can open your eyes to possibilities
that you might never have considered.
Sometimes scientists discover a hidden purpose for an invention that already exists. In the 1940s,
American engineer Percy Spencer worked on a radar magnetron (雷达磁控智) to find ships. While
he was working, the machine was pointing towards his pocket due to his carelessness. After a while,
he noticed that a chocolate bar he had put there had melted (m). Confused, he tried to see if anything
else would melt, Spencer put an egg in front of the machine and after a few seconds, the egg
exploded. Once he realised that energy from the machine could cook food fast, he designed a box to
trap the radiation inside. From that the microwave oven (微波炉) came into being.
Ice lollies (冰 棍 ) are an example of a delicious mistake. They were invented when Frank
Epperson, a boy in the US, placed a wooden stick in a glass of juice. The juice froze around the stick
and when he took it out the next day, he realised what a good idea it was to have something by which
to hold a frozen sweet treat. He decided to call his creation a Popsicle.
Actually almost all inventors have something in common. You never know what you’ll
discover if you try new things ― and it won’t always be what you planned. As long as you keep an
open mind, you might find the next big thing.
28. According to the first paragraph, mistakes ________.
A. can push forward scientific development
B. can test if a person is silly or smart C. relate closely to our sense of guilt D. come from small daily accidents
29. What was a key to Spencer’s invention of the microwave oven
A. He used a radar magnetron to find ships.
B. A chocolate bar melted in the machine. C. The magnetron pointed to his pocket.

D. He exploded an egg inside the box he made. 30. What did Frank do to create ice lollies
A. He left a stick in juice. B. He tasted a sweet treat.
C. He added sweets to water. D. He placed fruit in a glass
31. According to the author, what do most inventors have in common
A. They keep an open mind about people around them. B. They learn from their mistakes to work efficiently.
C They gain success through repeated failures.
D. They see possibilities in their mistakes.
D
Recently, Florida and California have both passed laws that limit the use of smartphones in
public schools. This move is welcome as they reflect a growing awareness that it is unhealthy for
young people to spend all day looking at phones. The laws limiting phone usage, however, tend to be
broad, filled with exceptions. At the same time, private schools have pushed ahead with their own
rules, which are typically more comprehensive (详尽的) than the well-meaning but ineffective laws
made by state governments.
Half-hearted laws, especially those that place the burden (负担) on teachers, are almost useless.
The enforcement (执行) of these laws often leaves teachers in challenging positions. For example, a
teacher told a case where a parent listened to a classroom discussion through their child’s phone and
immediately emailed a complaint about the lesson. Young people respond best to rules that are
simple, clear and easy to follow. Plus, teachers should not be expected to announce the rules before
every class. Strict limitations set clear expectations for students and help them work together better
without overburdening already busy teachers.
The arguments against strict phone bans (禁令),on the other hand, are unpersuasive (没有说服
力). Parents are concerned about locking up phones in case of an emergency, but classroom rules
shouldn’t be designed around unlikely disasters. Students are also free to keep low-tech phones for
emergency situations. A student from Oregon complained of having trouble finding friends in the
lunchroom after her school banned phones. High schoolers who need to get in touch with mom and
dad say they’re confused about the school’s old-fashioned rules.
The passing of the laws is a hopeful sign that schools are finally waking up to the dangers of
smartphone overuse. The perfect treatment, however, is sadly lacking.
32. How are the rules made by private schools different from government laws
A. They sound broader. B. They are ill-meaning.
C. They are welcomed by students. D. They produce better results.
33. In paragraph 2, the author mentions the example to explain that ______.
A. parents should stop complaining about children’s class
B. governments should set clear and direct phone bans
C. teachers should carry out strict enforcement of phone use D. students should work together without teachers’ help
34. In paragraph 3, parents are against banning phones because of their children’s ______.
A. difficulty in acquiring low-tech phones B. trouble in making friends without phones
C. need to use phones in emergency situations D. confusion about schools’ old-fashioned rules
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the laws limiting phone usage
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Confused. D. Supportive. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)

If someone calls you ugly, you might start to wonder if it’s true. However, what matters most is
how you feel about yourself, despite what other people think or say. If someone calls you ugly, find a
way to respond. Work toward accepting yourself. Never hesitate to get support from an adult if you’

re struggling to feel good about yourself. Responding to the Judgments
36 Speak up for yourself by saying that the judgments are mean and don’t reflect
who you are. For example, say, “I don’t know why you would call me ugly. Your opinion of how I
look doesn’t change who I am.” You can also say, “You are not the judge of what is beautiful. I see
myself as beautiful because I know I am a loving and kind person.”
37
Nobody can define (下定义) what pretty, normal, or beautiful are on the whole. As the saying
goes, “Beauty lies in the eye of the lover”. 38 If you feel low about your looks or what
people have said to you or about you, start building your own self-acceptance. See yourself as an
imperfect person and learn to accept those imperfections in yourself.
Getting Social Support
Whether you need support or someone to share your inner thoughts, talking to an adult can help.
39 They might lend a listening ear or give you some advice on how to handle situations when
people try to hurt you. They might even help you deal with the person who called you ugly. Adults
remember being younger and may be able to give suggestions based on their own experiences.
40
A. Accepting yourself.
B. Start small and take your own step. C. And this is true for attraction as well.
D. This might be a teacher, parent or coach. E. Setting Your Own Standards for Beauty.
F. Stand up for yourself and don’t back down.
G. You might be surprised at how helpful they can be. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分 40 分) 第一节(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)

“Gentle Jesus...” I 45 as I lay in bed at night. “Look upon a little child...” I mumbled (咕

Mr. Buckley looked my way and 53 . He reintroduced me. I took my 54 on stage,
and recited the poem from start to finish. The room burst into thunderous applause, not just for my
recitation, many told me later, but for my 55 in trying again.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Bella liked walking home at her own pace instead of having to move quick-quick-quick. There
was so much to see!
Outside one house, a man with fluffy white hair like Grandpa was watering a rosebush. A few
houses later, a boy was drawing with chalk on the driveway. He looked up and smiled at Bella. Two
doors away from Bella’s house, a woman was playing with a baby in the stroller (婴儿车).
“Hello,” she said, smiling. “I met you and your mom last week when you moved in. I’m Mrs.
Rodan, but I can’t remember your name.” Bella said her name. Then she looked down at the baby.
“What’s his name ” she asked. “This is Finn,” said Mrs. Rodan. “He loves stroller rides. Maybe we’
ll see you again tomorrow.”
Every afternoon, Bella walked home from the bus stop. She soon knew all her neighbors. Bella’s
favorite neighbors were the Rodans. Mrs. Rodan liked to talk. Bella learned that Mr. Rodan worked
far away for the U.S. Army and wouldn’t be home until spring.
But one day when Bella reached the Rodans’ house, they weren’t outside. Maybe they went
somewhere, she thought. Maybe they went to the library. Finn liked books. But they weren’t outside
the next day either. Or the day after that.
Bella hurried home, calling, “Mom!”
Mom came out “What’s going on, honey ”
“I haven’t seen the Rodans for three days. Can we go check on them ”
“They probably changed their routine,” Mom said. “But they’re my friends,” Bella insisted. “Please ” Bella and Mom walked to their house and rang the bell.
Mrs. Rodan opened the door with Finn crying in her arms. “Bella, what a surprise!” Mrs. Rodan
exclaimed (惊呼), looking tired with dark circles under her eyes and a coffee spot on her shirt.
Everything was in a mess. There was a bandage (绷带) around her ankle too.
