Ⅰ．阅读理解(共7小题；每小题2.5分，满分17.5分)
A
I have a younger brother．To me，he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe，with blond hair and blue eyes．To others，he is different．Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see a mentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．I see someone who just makes his daily routine a bit less routine．Others see an annoyance，a bother．
This is not to say that I have never felt resentful (怨恨的) toward Joe．He is my brother，and with that comes responsibility．“Gina，could you stay in tonight and watch your brother？”“Gina，do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper (尿布) later，please？”“Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus？”
These are words that I have heard since I was twelve．And sure，they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent．I would think：that's not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club，or get extra help from that teacher．Or，all my friends are going out tonight，why can't I And，how come I have to feed him He is not my son!
However，the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him．Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．
I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience．He will never laugh so hard that he cries．He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card．He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder．And he will never know how much his family love him．
Because he will never know，it is up to me to know，every second，how lucky I am．It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest，and that you should always，always be grateful that whoever the powers that be are，gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it．

Jessica Long，from Baltimore，Maryland，the USA，is a champion by all definitions of the word．She is one of the world's most decorated swimmers．Jessica was the youngest athlete，at 12 years old，to win a Paralympics medal．But her path to becoming a champion has been anything but easy．
Jessica was born in Irkutsk，Russia with a serious and rare birth defect—fibular hemimelia．This means that part of her leg bones were missing or deformed．Fearing she could not care for Jessica，her young mother placed her in a Russian orphanage．
Fortunately，she was adopted by an American family when she was 13 months old．She required 25 different operations to help her leg condition．But unfortunately，both of her legs had to be amputated when she was just 18 months old．
Jessica learned to walk with man-made legs．As a child，she took to sports including gymnastics，cheerleading，ice skating，biking，trampoline，and rock climbing．
She began swimming at her grandparents'house before she started competitive swimming．She was really good at swimming．Shortly after she started competing，Jessica was selected as Maryland's Female Swimmer of the Year with Disability．
Then Jessica was encouraged to enter her first Paralympic Games in Athens，Greece．She won three gold medals in swimming at age 12! She was the youngest athlete on the US Paralympic Team to ever do so．But she did not rest on her success．Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! She is one of the most decorated athletes of all time．
She is now a positive force on a mission to encourage the next generation of Paralympic athletes! Jessica always believes she can do anything．She always gives 110%．She is always learning．And she never allows herself to quit．As she says，“The only disability in life is a negative attitude．”

Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Many people become successful because they pay attention to the lessons that life teaches them． 1 However，by learning to deal with the challenges，one can come out of the experience，wiser，stronger and more able to face whatever else lies ahead．
Life lessons can occur in any area．Although we learn many things each day，we don't always learn something that we feel will affect our behavior for the rest of our lives． 2 It is usually something we are greatly changed by．
For example，if we respond in a certain way to something and then face unpleasant consequences (后果)，we'll rethink how we handled the situation．This can serve as a life lesson so that when we're faced with similar circumstances，we can consciously (有意识地) change our behavior． 3 .
Such lessons in relationships are as varied and unique as each relationship，yet there are common themes． 4 Some of us learn a major life lesson when a loved one dies，and we wish we had spent more time with that person．This lesson can result in us spending more time with our remaining loved ones．
5 Since the lesson is learned through the consequences of our actions or reactions，in this way we can gain insight into how we think，act and react in certain situations．Perhaps one of the biggest lessons we can finally learn is that while we can't control everything，we can control our response to things．
A．Life lessons are unique to each person．
B．Some of these lessons are learned the hard way．
C．This separates a life lesson from everything else we learn．
D．Spending more time with loved ones is one of the examples．
E．Life lessons can serve to help us understand ourselves better．
F．One way to improve your life is to learn something new every day．
G．To put it simply，a life lesson teaches us not to make the same mistake twice．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是人生教训及其意义。
1．B [此空设于段中，与下句存在转折关系。有些人生教训是备尝艰辛才能学到的，然而这些艰辛也会让我们变得更聪明、更坚强，更有能力面对未知的将来。故选B。]
2．C [此空设于段中，与上句存在指代关系。C项中的This指代上句的“something that we feel will affect ...”，本句明确说明人生教训和其他学习内容的区别。故选C。]
3．G [此空设于段尾，是本段的总结句，本段主要说明人生教训能教会我们不重蹈覆辙。故选G。]
4．D [此空设于段中，是一个过渡句，承上启下，既承接上文所说的不同的人际关系也有共通点，又引出下文当所爱的人亡故时，我们会后悔没有多陪陪他(她)。故选D。]

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子生来双脚畸形，他不能像正常人一样跑步。作者从来没有告诉儿子，他可能不能像其他孩子那样跑步。就是在这样的情况下，乔伊一直没有放弃，经过努力，他恢复到了正常的状态。不仅如此，七年级时，乔伊决定加入越野队并为之付出了很大的努力。功夫不负有心人，他成功做到了。
1．which/that [考查定语从句引导词。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为club feet，指物，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。]
2．were spent [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，所填动词为句子的谓语动词，结合前文谓语“was born”可知，用一般过去时，且动词“spend”与主语“Almost the first three years of his life”之间为动宾关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done，主语为复数形式，应用were done。故填were spent。]
3．walking [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词为“saw”，所填动词为非谓语动词，作宾语“him”的补足语。see sb．do sth．“看到某人做了某事”，强调过程；see sb．doing sth．“看到某人正在做某事”，强调动作。结合句中强调“走路”这个动作，此处应用see sb．doing sth．。故填walking。]
4．and [考查连词。分析句子结构可知，前后文之间为并列关系，应用并列连词“and”连接。故填and。]
5．harder [考查副词比较级。根据“than”可知，此处应用副词比较级作状语，修饰动词“ran”。故填harder。]
6．difference [考查名词。根据空前“his”可知，此处应用名词。different的名词形式为difference。故填difference。]
7．to score [考查动词不定式。have the chance to do sth．，固定短语，意为“有做某事的机会”，其中动词不定式作名词the chance的后置定语。故填to score。]
8．the [考查定冠词。分析语境可知，空后的“team”指前文的“the cross-country team”，因此应用定冠词the。故填the。]
9．names [考查名词复数。根据空前的“the”可知，此处应用名词。结合后文的“the team runners”可知，此处应用复数形式。故填names。]
10．it [考查固定搭配。make it意为“成功做到”。故填it。]

A
I have a younger brother．To me，he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe，with blond hair and blue eyes．To others，he is different．Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see a mentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．I see someone who just makes his daily routine a bit less routine．Others see an annoyance，a bother．
This is not to say that I have never felt resentful (怨恨的) toward Joe．He is my brother，and with that comes responsibility．“Gina，could you stay in tonight and watch your brother？”“Gina，do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper (尿布) later，please？”“Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus？”

Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club，or get extra help from that teacher．Or，all my friends are going out tonight，why can't I And，how come I have to feed him He is not my son！
However，the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him．Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．
I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience．He will never laugh so hard that he cries．He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card．He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder．And he will never know how much his family love him．
Because he will never know，it is up to me to know，every second，how lucky I am．It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest，and that you should always，always be grateful that whoever the powers that be are，gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it．

She is one of the most decorated athletes of all time．
She is now a positive force on a mission to encourage the next generation of Paralympic athletes! Jessica always believes she can do anything．She always gives 110%.She is always learning．And she never allows herself to quit．As she says，“The only disability in life is a negative attitude．”

Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Many people become successful because they pay attention to the lessons that life teaches them． 1 However，by learning to deal with the challenges，one can come out of the experience，wiser，stronger and more able to face whatever else lies ahead．
Life lessons can occur in any area．Although we learn many things each day，we don't always learn something that we feel will affect our behavior for the rest of our lives． 2 It is usually something we are greatly changed by．
For example，if we respond in a certain way to something and then face unpleasant consequences (后果)，we'll rethink how we handled the situation．This can serve as a life lesson so that when we're faced with similar circumstances，we can consciously (有意识地) change our behavior． 3
Such lessons in relationships are as varied and unique as each relationship，yet there are common themes． 4 Some of us learn a major life lesson when a loved one dies，and we wish we had spent more time with that person．This lesson can result in us spending more time with our remaining loved ones．
5 Since the lesson is learned through the consequences of our actions or reactions，in this way we can gain insight into how we think，act and react in certain situations．Perhaps one of the biggest lessons we can finally learn is that while we can't control everything，we can control our response to things．
A．Life lessons are unique to each person．
B．Some of these lessons are learned the hard way．
C．This separates a life lesson from everything else we learn．
D．Spending more time with loved ones is one of the examples．
E．Life lessons can serve to help us understand ourselves better．
F．One way to improve your life is to learn something new every day．
G．To put it simply，a life lesson teaches us not to make the same mistake twice．

能力提升
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在本文中介绍了自己的弟弟Joe天生残疾，作者花很多时间和精力照顾他，弟弟让作者学会了负责任，学会了要对自己所拥有的事物心存感激之情。
1．C [细节理解题。根据第一段的“Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see a mentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．”可知，作者的弟弟是一个精神残疾的儿童。故选C。]
2．B [推理判断题。根据第四段的“Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．”可知，Joe让作者学会了很多，那么可以推测出下次妈妈再让吉娜照顾她弟弟的时候，她肯定不会推辞。故选B。]
3．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段以及全文内容可知，作者在本文中介绍了自己的弟弟Joe天生残疾，作者花很多时间和精力照顾他，弟弟让作者学会了负责任，学会了要对自己所拥有的事物心存感激之情。所以作者通过这篇文章想要告诉我们的是要感激生活给予我们的一切。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。杰西卡·朗从小由于疾病失去了双腿，然而她并没有气馁，对生活持有积极态度。她在残奥会上赢得23块奖牌，是获得奖牌数最多的国际运动员之一。
4．B [细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句以及第三段第一句可知，杰西卡·朗是被一个美国家庭从俄罗斯的一个孤儿院收养的。故选B。]
5．D [词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Jessica learned to walk with man-made legs．”可推知，她被截肢了，失去了双腿。故画线词的意思是“去除，截(肢)”。故选D。]
6．A [段落大意题。根据第六段内容可知，杰西卡第一次参加了在希腊雅典举行的残奥会，她是美国残奥队有史以来最年轻的运动员。她在残奥会上已为美国队赢得了23块奖牌，是有史以来获得奖牌数最多的运动员之一。由此可知，第六段主要介绍了她在游泳上的成就。故选A。]
7．D [推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，她认为积极的生活态度对成功非常重要。故选D。]
Ⅱ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是人生教训及其意义。

2．C [此空设于段中，与上句存在指代关系。C项中的This指代上句的“something that we feel will affect ...”，本句明确说明人生教训和其他学习内容的区别。故选C。]
3．G [此空设于段尾，是本段的总结句，本段主要说明人生教训能教会我们不重蹈覆辙。故选G。]
4．D [此空设于段中，是一个过渡句，承上启下，既承接上文所说的不同的人际关系也有共通点，又引出下文当所爱的人亡故时，我们会后悔没有多陪陪他(她)。故选D。]
5．E [此空设于段首，是本段的主题句，本段主要讲人生教训可以帮助我们更好地认识自我。故选E。]
Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子生来双脚畸形，他不能像正常人一样跑步。作者从来没有告诉儿子，他可能不能像其他孩子那样跑步。就是在这样的情况下，乔伊一直没有放弃，经过努力，他恢复到了正常的状态。不仅如此，七年级时，乔伊决定加入越野队并为之付出了很大的努力。功夫不负有心人，他成功做到了。
