When I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it.When winter arrived, thick and heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun.I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding.Finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.
The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day I was too overjoyed when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself.I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach.Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course, straight towards one of those big oak trees.My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming.At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling, “You have to steer (操控)! You have to steer!”
Sadly, that wasn't the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair.I am still learning that life isn't always safe sledding.I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.
Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love that are all meant for us.
语篇解读:作者小时候有一次滑雪时差点撞到橡树上,但在最后一刻,作者翻滚到雪地里才得以化险为夷,同时他学到了一个人生道理:学会自我掌控。

6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 2?
A.Delightful. B.Terrifying.
C.Ordinary. D.Violent.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,这句话描述的是作者第一次滑雪时在木雪橇上从山上冲下去,风从脸上刮过时的快感。根据第一段作者渴望滑雪的描述再结合下文中的“overjoyed”可知,作者玩得很开心,据此可以判断,画线词意为“令人愉快的”,故A项正确。

A.Because his sled crashed into an oak tree.
B.Because he lost control of his sled.
C.Because his brother pushed it so hard.
D.Because the hillside was snowy.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was doing pretty well ...one of those big oak trees.”可知,作者撞到了雪地里的一个树桩,然后径直撞向一棵大橡树,再结合该段中的“At the last possible second ...the tree.”可知,作者在快要撞到橡树的那一刻从雪橇上翻滚下来,从而避开了危险。据此可以判断,作者从雪橇上掉下来是因为他失去了对雪橇的控制。故B项正确。
8.What does the author mean to tell us?
A.Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.
B.Courage and determination can change one's life.
C.Life can be controlled by oneself.
D.Life is a mystery full of coincidences.

“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens.If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai, now I think another spring has arrived again,” library manager Zhou Deming, told The Paper.
The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment, but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months, according to the library's website.
The program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Xi'an to appeal to more people to read and share their life stories.

Stephen Wiltshire is a famous artist.His drawings — often drawn from memory and at great speed — are sketched (素描) on the spot at street level.
Stephen, who was born in London in 1974, didn't say a word as a small child, and found it hard to relate to other people.At the age of five, Stephen was sent to Queensmill School, London, where it soon became apparent that he communicated through the language of drawing.His teachers encouraged him to speak by taking away his art materials for a short time; eventually he said his first words — “paper” and “pencil” — but didn't learn to speak fully until the age of nine.
Stephen loved drawing and he was seldom to be found without pen and paper.Once he took part in art competitions, news of his great talent began to spread.Early fans included the late Prime Minister Edward Heath who bought his drawing of Salisbury Cathedral, made when Stephen was just eight.
But Stephen came to wider public attention when the BBC featured him in the programme, “The Foolish Wise Ones” in 1987, when he was introduced by Sir Hugh Casson (a past president of the Royal Academy), as “the best child artist in Britain.”
After that, Stephen's reputation grew worldwide.A second BBC documentary in 2001 showed Stephen flying over London in a helicopter and later completing a detailed drawing of London within three hours, which included 12 historic landmarks (地标性建筑) and 200 other structures.
In 2006 Stephen was recognised for his services to the art world, when he was made a member of the Order of the British Empire.Today wherever Stephen goes, people are attracted by his outstanding talent.

A.No schools wanted him.
B.No teachers liked him.

A.After his second BBC documentary.
B.After the programme “The Foolish Wise Ones”.
C.After he met with the late Prime Minister Edward Heath.
D.After Sir Hugh Casson bought his drawing of Salisbury Cathedral.

B.It was drawn in a helicopter.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
My father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion.He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn't be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream. __1__
He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments.My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us.__2__ We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.
__3__ We complained about him all the time.Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives.Motivated, we willingly participated in his coaching.
With great efforts, he made us competitive wrestlers and I won junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in the National Sports Academy, where pride and agony fulfilled my mind.__4__ As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.After that, I turned to him for help.Then he coached me patiently.
Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling.Even now, Papa's words are still in my mind “Geeta, think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys, girls who are forced to do chores, girls who are married and have children.Not only will you compete with other countries, but also with those who look down upon women!” I will never forget about father's instruction.__5__
A.But his methods were cruel.
B.I almost abandoned what Papa had taught me.
C.Disappointingly, my mother gave birth to all girls.
D.My sister and I tried to escape.
E.I will always owe all success to him.
F.At first, my sister and I did not understand our father.
G.However, my mother didn't agree with him.
语篇解读:“我”的爸爸曾经是业余的摔跤运动员和全国冠军,但被迫放弃了摔跤,他把所有的希望寄托在未出生的儿子身上,但是“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩。一天爸爸发现了“我”和妹妹身上的摔跤天赋,并开始对我们进行严格训练,最终“我”成为印度第一位取得参加奥运会资格的女子摔跤运动员。
1.选C 根据空处前一句“Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream.”可知,他要让他未出生的儿子实现他未完成的梦;结合第二段第一句“He was about to give up hope when one day ...comments.”可知,他几乎放弃了希望;据此可以判断,“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩,所以父亲很失望,故C项符合语境。
2.选A 根据空处后一句“We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.”可知,我们在清晨便要参加训练,必须剪成短发;据此可以判断,父亲的训练方法很残酷,故A项符合语境。
3.选F 本段讲述了我们对于爸爸残酷的训练方式从不情愿到接受的心态的变化;根据空处后一句“We complained about him all the time.”可知,我们开始对父亲是抱怨、不理解的。故选F项。
4.选B 根据空处后一句“As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.”和下文中的“After that, I turned to him for help.”可知,“我”在国际水平的比赛中总是失败,而上文中讲的却是“我”不断胜利,拿到冠军;由此可知“我”摒弃了爸爸教给“我”的方法,结果在每一场国际水平的比赛中“我”都输了,故选B项。
5.选E 本段叙述了爸爸的话,结合空处前一句“I will never forget about father's instruction”可知,“我”不会忘记爸爸的教导,并从全文来看,“我”的成功与爸爸是分不开的。故选E项。

My uncle said (that) he would come and that he would also bring his son.宾语从句和表语从句whether和if都意为“是否”,二者可以引导宾语从句;在介词之后或与or not连用时,只能用whether。当whether与or not不在一起时,可用if取代whether,也可以用whether。如:
I don’t know if/ whether there will be trains any more.?
They are worrying about whether they can get there in time.
I don’t know whether or not I should take his advice.
I'm not sure if/ whether the train will arrive on time or not.有时可用it作形式宾语,而把真正的宾语从句后置。如:
We have made it clear that we will learn to deal with various difficult problems.
在第一人称I/ we与动词think, expect, believe, guess, suppose等连用,后接宾语从句时,通常将从句的否定转移到主句谓语动词,形成否定前移。如:
I don’t suppose you’re used to this diet. I?truly?believe?______ beauty?comes?from?
within.?【2015·北京】
A.?that?????B.?where??????C.?what?????D.?why
本题考查宾语从句。从句部分不缺少任何成分,因此用that起到连接作用,也可以省
略。故选A。高考链接A 二、表语从句要点归纳
表语从句一定要用陈述语序。
可接表语从句的词除系动词be外,还有appear, become, look, remain, seem, sound等连系动词。如:
The boy has remained where you told him to stand for over an hour. that和what在引导表语从句时,作用和意义都不相同。that本身无词义,句中只起连接作用不充当句子成分;what表示“所……的(人或
事)”,表语从句中充当主语、表语或宾语等。My idea is that this plan should be carried out immediately.
My hometown is no longer what it used to be.
if不可以引导表语从句,但whether可以引导表语从句。如:
The question is whether your uncle will offer help to us.A?ship?in?harbor?is?safe,?but?that’s?not?
______ ships?are?built?for.? 【2015·安徽】 A.?what? ??B.?whom? ??C.?why?? ?D.?when?
句意:船停放在海港里是很安全的,但这并非建造船的目的。isn’t后跟从句作表语,表语从句中的for后缺少宾语,用what引导,what与for连用,表示目的。高考链接A 【2016. 北京】29. The most pleasant thing of the rainy season is ______ one can be entirely free from dust.
