My name is Michelle Rogers.For most of my life I had been fighting with my body weight.I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it.I wasn’t happy with myself, and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy life.Not only did I feel bad physically, but I felt terrible emotionally.I also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be, and with failure after failure in losing weight, I just felt so hopeless to make it.
One day in 2008, I was looking through ads online and saw a treadmill (跑步机) for $100.This time I decided to start small and keep it doable.The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed time every day.The next week I did 16 minutes.Each week I added a minute.Gradually, I increased speed as well as time.Once I got to 30 minutes, the weight started dropping off.
I didn’t lose weight at first, but I didn’t give up like I did in the past.I realized I started feeling better.My legs were getting stronger.I didn’t feel painful like I used to when I got up from my desk.All the efforts I’d been putting into fitness made me want to start eating healthier, too.I began with small changes as well.After these years I started listening to my body.It was refusing food and habits that were bad for me.
Today, the extra weight is gone.I still exercise every morning.I look and feel the best I have never done.Every area of my life has improved and benefited from this change in me.Not only do I have my youthful energy, looks and health back, but I also have more confidence than I have ever had.

Text messaging, or simply “texting”, which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious.Texting helps to save money.If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling.Texting helps to save time.Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second.Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone.Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone.These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it.They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages.Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then.When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages.You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous.It can cause injuries and even death.It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year.In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011.Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others.When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them.To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving.About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication.However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
8.How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?
A.Two. B.Three.
C.Four. D.Five.
9.What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?
A.6,000 people were killed and injured.
B.Texters are easier to have an accident.
C.Texting is a good way of communication.
D.Many people text to greet families and friends.
10.What does the underlined word “restricting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Not allowing. B.Not telling. C.Enjoying. D.Making.
11.This passage is written to tell us that .
A.we should do less texting
B.texting has many advantages
C.texting is better than phone calling
D.we should do texting properly

People who live far away from the ocean sometimes never get the chance to go to the beach and play in the water.An educational program in Australia is changing that for aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) children from the bush (an area of wild land), letting them see and swim in the ocean for the first time.
Bush to Beach, founded in 2006 by Jack Cannons, brings kids from Brewarrina and nearby areas in northwest New South Wales (NSW) to South Narrabeen Beach near Sydney for a three-day surf camp to learn new skills and build confidence in an environment that is totally new to them.
Through a partnership with the South Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club, over 600 children took the 10-hour bus ride to visit the beach.Only children who have good school attendance and behavior can take part in the program.The children have fun in the sun, learning how to swim and surf, but most importantly, they learn CPR (a life-saving method) and water safety rules.
Despite spending all those hours on a bus, the kids were very happy to be at the beach.Nine-year-old Hazel was excited to collect shells and go for a swim.“My town is small but here it’s big.We don’t have a beach at Brewarrina,” she said.“I went surfing and I saw many different sea animals.”
The kids gain so much from the program, and so do the volunteers.Brian Grundy, a local South Narrabeen surf lifesaver, said that the program has an “amazing” effect on the kids, and helps encourage them to achieve goals, including higher education.
Cannons was very pleased with the success of the program and said that he wanted to expand it to more NSW communities in the next two years.He said,“I want this to go right around the country, surf clubs and communities forming partnerships with bush towns and developing friendships.”
12.Bush to Beach was founded to .
A.open aboriginal children’s eyes
B.attract more people to the beach
C.raise money for aboriginal children
D.recommend a new lifestyle to people
13.What did Hazel think of her taking part in the program?
A.It provided her with much pleasure.
B.It helped improve her school attendance.
C.It made her think of leaving her small town.
D.It got her interested in studying sea animals.
14.What is Grundy’s attitude towards the program?
A.Unclear. B.Doubtful.
C.Favorable. D.Carefree.
15.What is Cannons’ latest plan?
A.To help coastal children explore the bush.
B.To grow surf communities around the country.
C.To call on more volunteers to attend the program.
D.To bring the program to more communities and their children.

Mistakes I Made While Trying to Lose Weight
In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight.
I started to skip breakfast.Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat. 16 And in fact, breakfast is easily burnt throughout the day.
I bought diet food.When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc. 17 I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more.I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food.If you eat any food too much, you’re not doing yourself any favors.
18 Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down.But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food.I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with few more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards.
I was too awkward to go to the gym.Joining a gym was one of the hardest things I ever did.I was always worried that people in the gym would be staring at me and talking about me.I really thought I was too fat to join.My advice is to join a gym! 19
I set my goals too high.Setting long-term goals is great, but these goals always seem too far off.You need to set smaller, more reachable goals. 20 Set yourself weekly and monthly goals.
Once you meet one short-term goal, set a new one for next week.
A.I thought I’d always be fat.
B.I promise you’ll be glad you do.
C.But it doesn’t keep you full for long.
D.I started eating salads as main meals.
E.But I was buying these foods for the wrong reason.
F.However, if so, you’re much more likely to eat more for lunch.
G.So you can achieve them now and then and cheer yourself up.

We know following the restaurant’s account lets us receive information about its new dishes and special offers.It also makes us stay in touch with its community.However, I think this rule is not fair to everyone.Not everyone has WeChat or wants to use it.Besides, it makes ordering more difficult, which can upset customers.
I think restaurants should respect customers’ preferences and not force them to follow their accounts.

Dear Wang Hong,
I have read your email, learning you want to lose weight by dieting.It is natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful.
However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty.As a student, studying is the first thing to consider.So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life.If you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to get more exercise and change unhealthy eating habits.Keeping a healthy state of mind will also help.
I hope my advice will be useful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

With life becoming better and better, more and more teenagers
care about their appearance and plastic surgery is becoming more and more
popular among them.But I strongly hold the view that teenagers
shouldn’t have plastic surgery.
Firstly, teenagers’ focusing more on their appearance will affect
their studies.Secondly, such surgery harmed their health, which
stopped them from returning to a normal life.Therefore, some teenagers
regret having the plastic surgery.
In my opinion, teenagers should keep away from plastic
surgery, and use more knowledge and greater progress to build self-
confidence.

参考范文:
Dear Wang Hong,
I have read your email, learning you want to lose weight by
dieting.It is natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful.
However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty.As
a student, studying is the first thing to consider.So do not let others’
opinions affect your normal life.If you do want to lose weight, it is a
good idea to get more exercise and change unhealthy eating
habits.Keeping a healthy state of mind will also help.
I hope my advice will be useful to you.

My name is Michelle Rogers.For most of my life I had been fighting
with my body weight.I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it.I
wasn’t happy with myself, and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy
life.Not only did I feel bad physically, but I felt terrible emotionally.I
also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be, and with failure after
failure in losing weight, I just felt so hopeless to make it.
One day in 2008, I was looking through ads online and saw a
treadmill (跑步机) for $100.This time I decided to start small and keep
it doable.The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a
fixed time every day.The next week I did 16 minutes.Each week I added a
minute.Gradually, I increased speed as well as time.Once I got to 30
minutes, the weight started dropping off.
I didn’t lose weight at first, but I didn’t give up like I did in the
past.I realized I started feeling better.My legs were getting stronger.I
didn’t feel painful like I used to when I got up from my desk.All the
efforts I’d been putting into fitness made me want to start eating
healthier, too.I began with small changes as well.After these years I
started listening to my body.It was refusing food and habits that were bad
for me.
Today, the extra weight is gone.I still exercise every morning.I
look and feel the best I have never done.Every area of my life has
improved and benefited from this change in me.Not only do I have my
youthful energy, looks and health back, but I also have more
confidence than I have ever had.

Text messaging, or simply “texting”, which allows people to
send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular
today.
The advantages of texting are obvious.Texting helps to save
money.If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their
birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be
cheaper than phone calling.Texting helps to save time.Even if you want to
send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second.Texting helps
you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the
phone.Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you
don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone.These
advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it.They hold
mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each
day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages.Junk messages may come
into your mobile phone box now and then.When your phone box gets too
full, you can’t receive any more messages.You may therefore miss
some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example
texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous.It can cause
injuries and even death.It was reported that about 6,000 people were
killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year.In Fort
Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because
they walked into traffic while texting in 2011.Two researchers at Stony
Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to
have an accident than others.When people are texting, they don’t
notice other people or things around them.To reduce traffic accidents, all
drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving.About 32
countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while
driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication.However, only when
we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

与A项not allowing(不允许,禁止)意思一致。

People who live far away from the ocean sometimes never get the
chance to go to the beach and play in the water.An educational program in
Australia is changing that for aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) children
from the bush (an area of wild land), letting them see and swim in the
ocean for the first time.
Bush to Beach, founded in 2006 by Jack Cannons, brings kids
from Brewarrina and nearby areas in northwest New South Wales
(NSW) to South Narrabeen Beach near Sydney for a three-day surf
camp to learn new skills and build confidence in an environment that is
totally new to them.
Through a partnership with the South Narrabeen Surf Life Saving
Club, over 600 children took the 10-hour bus ride to visit the beach.Only
children who have good school attendance and behavior can take part in
the program.The children have fun in the sun, learning how to swim and
surf, but most importantly, they learn CPR (a life-saving method)
and water safety rules.
Despite spending all those hours on a bus, the kids were very happy
to be at the beach.Nine-year-old Hazel was excited to collect shells and go
for a swim.“My town is small but here it’s big.We don’t have a beach
at Brewarrina,” she said.“I went surfing and I saw many different sea
animals.”
The kids gain so much from the program, and so do the
volunteers.Brian Grundy, a local South Narrabeen surf lifesaver, said
that the program has an “amazing” effect on the kids, and helps
encourage them to achieve goals, including higher education.
Cannons was very pleased with the success of the program and said
that he wanted to expand it to more NSW communities in the next two
years.He said,“I want this to go right around the country, surf clubs
and communities forming partnerships with bush towns and developing
friendships.”

参加为期三天的冲浪营,为他们提供接触海洋和学习游泳等技能
的机会,帮助他们在一个全新的环境中建立自信。由此可推知,
该项目旨在开阔土著儿童的眼界。open sb’s eyes使人长见识(或
开眼界)。
13. What did Hazel think of her taking part in the program?
A. It provided her with much pleasure.
B. It helped improve her school attendance.
C. It made her think of leaving her small town.
D. It got her interested in studying sea animals.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Nine-year-old Hazel was
excited to collect shells and go for a swim.和Hazel所说的话可知,
Hazel很高兴参加该项目,并在海边玩得很开心。the kids were
very happy to be at the beach也是提示。
14. What is Grundy’s attitude towards the program?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful.
C. Favorable. D. Carefree.
解析: 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中Brian Grundy所说的the
program has an “amazing” effect on the kids, and helps encourage
them to achieve goals, including higher education可知,他认为该
项目对孩子们产生了惊人的影响,并有助于鼓励他们实现包括高
等教育在内的目标。由此可推知,他对该项目持赞赏的态度。
15. What is Cannons’ latest plan?
A. To help coastal children explore the bush.
B. To grow surf communities around the country.
C. To call on more volunteers to attend the program.
D. To bring the program to more communities and their children.

项目的成功感到非常高兴,并表示他希望在未来两年内将其推广
到新南威尔士州更多的社区,即希望该项目能惠及更多孩子。

Mistakes I Made While Trying to Lose Weight
In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made
on my quest to lose weight.
I started to skip breakfast.Most people trying to lose weight believe
simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat. 16
And in fact, breakfast is easily burnt throughout the day.
I bought diet food.When I went shopping, I always looked for the
foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc. 17 I bought these foods
because in my mind it meant I could buy more.I would totally pay no
attention to the amount of the food.If you eat any food too much,
you’re not doing yourself any favors.
18 Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake
down.But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for
more food.I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with few
more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards.
I was too awkward to go to the gym.Joining a gym was one of the
hardest things I ever did.I was always worried that people in the gym
would be staring at me and talking about me.I really thought I was too fat
to join.My advice is to join a gym! 19
I set my goals too high.Setting long-term goals is great, but these
goals always seem too far off.You need to set smaller, more reachable
goals. 20 Set yourself weekly and monthly goals.
Once you meet one short-term goal, set a new one for next week.
A. I thought I’d always be fat.
B. I promise you’ll be glad you do.
C. But it doesn’t keep you full for long.
D. I started eating salads as main meals.
E. But I was buying these foods for the wrong reason.
F. However, if so, you’re much more likely to eat more for lunch.
G. So you can achieve them now and then and cheer yourself up.

Ⅲ.应用文写作
上周末,你和家人一起去某饭店用餐,被要求关注(follow)该
饭店的微信公众号(WeChat Official Account)后才能点菜。请你就该
饭店的这一做法写一篇短文,内容包括:
1. 介绍你的经历;
2. 简要评价该饭店的做法。
注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;
2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考范文:
I went to a restaurant with my family last weekend.We were required
to follow the restaurant’s WeChat Official Account before ordering.I
found this requirement interesting but puzzling.
We know following the restaurant’s account lets us receive
information about its new dishes and special offers.It also makes us stay in
touch with its community.However, I think this rule is not fair to
everyone.Not everyone has WeChat or wants to use it.Besides, it makes
ordering more difficult, which can upset customers.
I think restaurants should respect customers’ preferences and not
force them to follow their accounts.
谢谢观看!
