Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our three children. We had a wonderful time. Besides, I experienced something that left a deep impression on me.
Our children were excited about the attraction where children could drive the cars. They were so delighted that I decided to stand beside the track to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.
As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who was about 7 years old. They rolled down the hill at the beginning, but suddenly the car stopped. The young driver looked nervous, “I can't do it.” His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”
“No. I can't！”
“Yes, you can, son.”
The little guy was almost in tears, “I can't！” With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.” A moment later, with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly (顺利地) on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes and it reminded (使想起) me of my dear father. Just like that little boy's dad, my father used to say the same words to me. Every time things got hard or when I experienced setbacks along the way, he would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
Time and time again the words greatly encouraged me on the journey. I'm aware that I can't do things under my own power, but the words “Yes, you can” come beside me and give me wisdom and strength. As I benefited (受益) a lot from them, I often tell my children never to say “I can't” easily when they meet something difficult.

I began smoking at 13, with a friend in the evenings when we were out. I never thought of the damage it brought me. But I had a bad cough after a cold, and my teeth weren't as white as my sister's, who never smoked. I no longer played any sports. Since all my friends smoked, I never felt different.
I met and married my husband Paul when we were 22，both smoking like chimneys (烟囱). I had two children by the time I was 26, and life went on as normal. We smoked around our children, never thinking it would be doing them any harm. They both begged us to stop when they learned about the hazards of smoking. We just rolled our eyes at each other.
My parents quit smoking, and my aunts quit smoking, but they were older. I had lots of time to quit in my life. Paul's mother died of a heart attack at only 55, after suffering two diseases caused by smoking. And still we smoked.
At the age of 36, I had a child with a breathing problem. We moved outside to smoke, as she had such trouble breathing, and we didn't want to add to that!
Then my father died a few years later of cancer throughout his body. Still I smoked, even as he asked me on his deathbed to try to stop. I did mean to, but I thought that I had too many worries to deal with. How would I face them without a smoke? Little did I know then that the smoking was only adding to my inability (无能) to deal with trouble, clouding my whole world in smoke.
Then Paul had an extremely serious problem in his heart because of a condition caused by smoking. Finally, I decided to quit smoking. I knew I'd suffer greatly too if I kept smoking. Paul decided to join me, of course. He had no choice if he didn't want to die.
Luckily, we made it. Now I have enough energy, a joy in living, and more confidence than ever before.
【语篇解读】 作者十三岁开始吸烟，一直认为没必要戒烟，后来她丈夫的心脏因为吸烟出了问题，她终于决定戒烟了。

B．Because Paul didn't want her to do that.
C．Because she was extremely healthy then.
D．Because she thought it was still early to do that.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“My parents quit smoking, and my aunts quit smoking, but they were older. I had lots of time to quit in my life.”可知，作者当时认为身边的亲戚戒烟是因为他们老了，而自己还有很多时间，戒烟还太早。
8．What does the author want to tell us?
A．It's really dangerous to smoke.
B．It's not easy to live a healthy life.
C．It's really difficult to quit smoking.

课时作业 2
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have porridge，eggs or toast. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn't alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother preferred to know where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept，my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Laws. She made us work. We had to wash dishes，make beds，and learn to cook and all kinds of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been taken away by the police or divorced (离婚). She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean”. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However，the teacher that I remember most was Mrs Green from Marianna，Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student，not only in her class，but at the school，she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays，she taught us how to make ornaments (装饰物) from eggs. My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.
She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special，especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favourite” student，but to make every student feel that they are special. That year，I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖). I was really proud and so were my parents.
Looking back at it，I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved. Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them，which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to their favourite teacher as I found her to be mine.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了作者对她五年级的一位老师Mrs Green的回忆和感激，并认为她的成就很大一部分都是因为有一位让她能感受到爱、感受到她很重要的老师，并希望将来有学生能喜欢她就像她喜欢Mrs Green一样。

7．What will the author probably do in the future?
A．Become a leader. B．Become a teacher.
C．Become an artist. D．Become the President.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them，which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to their favourite teacher as I found her to be mine.”可知，作者将来有可能成为一个老师。B项符合原文之意。故选B项。
Ⅱ.七选五
Some are born with the ability to talk to people in any kind of situation and express their ideas. __1__ Having no confidence can be one of the reasons why these people are afraid to talk with others. So it's necessary for them to know some ways to talk to people.
__2__ In some situations where you are finding it awkward (难为情的) to talk to people, just carry a smile, and you'll find that people will actually start talking to you!
Using good body language during a conversation is also important. Before you start talking, make sure that you are in a good posture (姿势), and look into the eyes of the other person. __3__ It also shows you're interested to talk to the person.
For talking comfortably to people on the phone, you have to learn to listen actively. Here, body language is of no importance at all. __4__ And at the same time repeat to the person what he or she said from time to time. This shows your interest in the conversation.
It's difficult to talk with unhappy people. Such people are less likely to talk first because of their bad state of mind. Try asking close-ended questions. For example, you can ask like this：Have you been alright lately? Or was your day a good one? __5__ This will help calm the other person down.

1．答案与解析：G 该空前一句提到有些人天生就有在任何情形下都能和别人交谈的能力，该空下一句提到“Having no confidence和why these people are afraid to talk with others，”故该空内容与没有这种交谈能力的人有关，故选G项。

3．答案与解析：A 该空前说谈话前先保持良好的姿势并且直视对方的眼睛，再根据该空后的“It also shows you're interested to talk to the person”可知，A项“这能增加你的自信”符合语境。

课时作业 3
阅读理解
A
In early November of 1942, my geology (地质学)class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage (通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle-aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者的老师带领全班同学进行了一次户外寻矿活动。
1．Why did the class leave the cars halfway?
A．Because their cars broke down in Deary.
B．Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.
C．Because townsmen were curious about their cars.
D．Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.”可知，下雨天路上全是泥，开车很困难，他们担心车陷在泥里。
2．What does the underlined word “ducking” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Turning. B．Touching.
C．Lowering. D．Hitting.
答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“The passage was... not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight.”可知，通道不够高，他们不能抬头，只能猫着腰，“低”头前进。
3．Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore?
A．Impatient. B．Careless.
C．Hard-working. D．Warm-hearted.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.”可知，药店的店员很热心。
4．What can we know from the passage?
A．The class failed to see the mica mine.
B．The weather terribly influenced the trip.
C．The teacher was not professional enough.
D．The author was not liked by her classmates.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据末段的“We all felt we had had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.”可知，作者所在班级并没有找到云母矿。
B
Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular (有规律的) habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9：30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect (查看) his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”， Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote，“Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this：she... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games！”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish (出版)a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”， Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London's Westminster Abbey.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章描写了英国著名科学家达尔文宁静的个人生活。
5．Why did the Darwins move to Kent?
A．To do more experiments.
B．To cut their cost of living.
C．To enjoy more peacefulness.
D．To be together with their children.
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。由第一段中的“moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance as possible”可知，达尔文夫妇搬家是为了免受外界的打扰，以享受更多的宁静。
6．What did Darwin do every day?
A．He studied in the woods.
B．He started to work at 9：30 am.
C．He wrote letters in the morning.
D．He examined his experiments.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第三段中的“At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect his experiments”可知，达尔文每天会去查看实验的进展情况。
7．What did Darwin's children probably think of him?
A．Strict. B．Sweet.
C．Cold. D．Brave.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由第五段中的“Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door”可推知，在孩子们眼里，父亲达尔文应该很温和。
8．What is this text mainly about?
A．Darwin's scientific achievements.
B．Darwin's unusual state funeral.
C．Darwin's personal life.
D．Darwin's large family.
答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。首段第一句即文章主旨句“Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life.”本文描写了英国著名科学家达尔文宁静的个人生活。
C
While you might not realize it, the environment where you sleep can make a great difference in the actual quality of sleep that you get every night. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地)．
Go to sleep only when you start to feel sleepy. If you don't fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired.
Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Avoid caffeine (咖啡因) 6 hours before you sleep. Having a cup of coffee within a few hours of bed time can keep you awake for hours when you are trying to sleep. Coffee isn't the only product containing caffeine. Avoid chocolate and tea, too. Also limit (限制) how much you drink before bed to prevent trips to the toilet at night.
Many people turn on the TV before they go to bed. TV influences your natural sleep habits by making you stay up longer than you usually would, especially if you are watching something exciting. Instead of turning on the TV, read a book. Light reading before bed can help you fall into a deep sleep quickly.
If you suffer from serious sleep problems, go to your doctor. Your doctor will help treat the problem or may advise you to see a sleep specialist.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，主题语境是健康的生活方式。如果你想过健康幸福的生活，睡个好觉是必不可少的。相比睡眠时间长短，睡眠质量有时更为重要。
9．What should you do to make sure you have a good sleep at weekends according to the text?
A．Get up a bit later than usual.
B．Go to bed at a regular time.
C．Watch some relaxing TV programs.
D．Avoid drinking coffee or tea in the day.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off”可知，作者建议睡眠要有规律，每天在同一时间睡觉和起床的人休息得会更好，即便是周末也应该这样。
10．What does the author advise you to do if you can't fall asleep after lying in bed for 15 minutes?
A．To drink some water.
B．To do some light reading.
C．To listen to light music.
D．To get up and relax.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you don't fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing”可知，作者认为：如果你在床上15分钟内睡不着，干脆起床做些放松的事，等自己累了再回到床上睡觉。
11．What does the underlined word “stuffed” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Having slept too much.
B．Having eaten too much.
C．Feeling too sad.
D．Feeling too tired.
答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。第四段主题句是“Pay attention to what you eat and drink”，后面分别讲述睡觉前该如何吃、喝。“Don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up”这两句是讲睡觉前该怎样吃：睡觉时既不要饿着，也不要吃得太饱。饿着或者吃得太饱，身体不舒服，都会让你睡不着。由此可知，画线单词stuffed的意思是“吃饱的”。
12．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．What to do before going to bed.
B．The importance of sleeping well.
C．How to improve your sleep quality.
D．The relationship between sleep and lifestyle.
答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。本文就如何改善睡眠提供了一些方法。

M：Well, there is snow to come later tonight, but there'll be some heavy rain first in the afternoon.
(Text 3)
M：OK, how do I look?
W：Well, the jacket is very nice, and the shirt is all right. But don't you think that tie's rather thick and heavy? Perhaps a thin one would be better.
M：Oh... I suppose you're right.
(Text 4)

M：Good morning, this is Jesse Williams with your Tuesday weather report. We had a hot and sunny day yesterday. The temperature was 36 ℃. It is expected that today's temperature could climb to as high as 38 ℃ by the late afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the temperature in our city is already 29 ℃. Unfortunately, there is also no rain for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty forest in our city. Wednesday is forecast to be hotter, reaching 40 degrees with a surprising 28 ℃ overnight. It is the hottest August day since 30 ℃ in 2015. The good news is that it will be windy tonight. So it seems that setting up a tent in the backyard may be the only way to catch some sleep tonight if you don't have an air-conditioner. When you go out, please wear your hat and sunglasses. That's all for today's weather report. The traffic report in the morning is as follows. Thank you for listening.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was my first full-time job as a teacher in a high school in Riverside, California, The Department Chair told me that I would teach a class Introduction to Writing, a freshman course. I felt very confident.
It was my first class. When I entered the classroom, I was surprised. Freshmen? These kids looked too tall and mature (成熟的) to be freshmen! I still didn't have a class list of names, so I started by talking with them and asking questions. They took notes and everything was fine until I noticed a tall boy eating a piece of cake. Rule 1, clearly written on the board was “NO FOOD OR DRINK IN CLASS”. I got a little mad and asked him to read the rule out aloud. He did so and he got mad too!
I asked him, “Did you understand what you read？” This made him even madder.
“Yes, I did.”
“Well, then, what were you doing just now？”
We were both getting madder and madder.
“I was eating a piece of cake.”He took another bite (咬) and looked at me angrily.
“Well, get up, go outside and throw the cake away.”
And then both of us made a mistake. He said, “Here, I don't even want it.”Then he handed it to me. He put the piece of cake on my hand. The icing of the cake went between my fingers, making a real mess. He was very tall, but he was sitting in a chair and I was standing next to him, mad and angry. I hit the cake on his hair!
The class started laughing and clapping. Somebody got up, went to the board and wrote “Teacher — 1; Mark — 0”. I didn't know whether I was supposed to laugh or not, but I couldn't help it. And then, Mark got up and left.
The story was all over the school by the next period. Some students came to me and said, “I heard that terrible things will happen if somebody tries to eat cake in your class！” Oh, how embarrassing!
Now I still teach, but I'm much better at dealing with students.
【语篇解读】 作者第一次上课就跟学生发生了冲突，使得自己非常尴尬。

A．Students can eat cake in class.
B．Her students were really kind to her.
C．She wasn't good at teaching freshmen.
D．She should do better in dealing with students.

23．What might be the best title of the passage?
A．My Embarrassing Experience of Being a Teacher
B．Sharing a Piece of Cake with My Student
C．It's Important to Have Class Rules

Since 2013, Awesome Con has brought together tens of thousands of comic book fans (漫画书迷)for a special weekend in Washington, D．C. This year's event was held from March 30 through April 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
At the yearly event, artists sell comic books, artwork, and other things. There are also performances, discussions, and famous guests. Awesome Con also has game rooms, where visitors can play many popular games like Donkey Kong.
Of all the activities at Awesome Con, cosplay is surely the most attractive one. Many people see Awesome Con as a way to express themselves and show off their hobbies. Cosplay is a very good way to achieve this purpose.
Cosplay is dressing up as a character (角色) from movies, games, or comics. People dress as superheroes, time travelers, robots, etc. Many build their own clothes and some of them are very skillfully made.
“It's a huge part of the whole event, and it's really nice to see everyone having fun and putting so much time and energy (精力) into their cosplay clothes，”said John Hutson, who dressed up as superhero Captain America.
“I dressed up as Deadpool，”said another comic book fan Sandy Millin. “I really enjoy this character, and I came out here because it allows me to express myself freely.”
For those who attend Awesome Con, talking about hobbies with people you don't know is fun.
There are other advantages too. For example, in Artist Alley, where comic-book creators talk to fans and sign books and drawings, you can find many different kinds of art and people who like that kind of work. “It's nice to see not very well-known artists finally getting recognized for their wonderful artwork by people who really enjoy cartoons, comics, and video games，”said a student from Takoma Park Middle School in Maryland.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了于华盛顿举办的漫展Awesome Con。

C．A bit doubtful. D．Very enjoyable.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。由第五段中的John Hutson所说的话“it's really nice to see... their cosplay clothes”可推断，John Hutson认为化妆打扮进行角色扮演是赏心悦目的。
26．Why did Sandy Millin come to Awesome Con?
A．To do cosplay. B．To meet Deadpool.

27．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．How artists get recognized.
B．The activities in Artist Alley.
C．The advantages of Awesome Con.
D．Fun things to do at Awesome Con.
答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。本段主要阐述了参加Awesome Con的好处，除了能享受跟陌生人谈论自己的兴趣爱好之外，还有许多其他好处，如人们能在Artist Alley欣赏到不同类型的艺术品，还能碰到这些艺术品的爱好者；此外，不甚出名的艺术家也能凭借自己精湛的作品获得卡通漫画爱好者的认可。
C
“I wish I grew up back in your childhood, ”my 14-year-old son said to me. He has an iPhone that is newer than mine. He has many kind friends. There are many forms of entertainment today and he can find nearly all of human knowledge through the Internet. However, he wishes he grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. “Why？”I asked. My son's answer involves freedom, risk and over-involvement (参与) of adults in kids' lives.
My son has heard his dad tell stories of summer days at the river with his friends. They would jump off the wooden bridge into the water below. My son lives just a few blocks from the same river and the same bridge. The town hasn't changed, but times have changed. My son knows that if he and his friends tried to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome is that some kind adults would call the police.
At 14, an age at which, in generations past, most boys were contributing to the well-being of their families by working, and my son is ready, able and willing to put his skills and strength to the test in the real world. However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids' development.
Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. Allow your kids to gradually take more responsibility. A kid who helps prepare and cook meals will be better prepared to cook independently.
Above all, encourage and praise your kids' determination. Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为孩子应该在成人的监护下适当地去做一些冒险的事情，家长不应该一味地保护孩子。
28．Why does the author mention her son?
A．To praise her son for his creativity.
B．To encourage kids to live a simple life.
C．To introduce the topic of kids' lacking chance to risk.
D．To show kids' love for their parents' childhood life.
答案与解析：C 写作意图题。根据前两段的内容可知，作者通过描述儿子对父亲的童年生活的羡慕，引出文章的主题：现在的孩子缺少冒险的机会。
29．If trying to jump into the river, the author's son would be ________.
A．warned of danger
B．stopped by the police
C．praised for his courage
D．punished seriously by his parents
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“... the most likely outcome is that some kind adults would call the police.”可知，一些好心人会报警来阻止儿子随意跳下河游泳。
30．What does the author advise parents to do?
A．Try risky things before their kids.
B．Help their kids complete risky things.
C．Let their kids know the safety rules first.
D．Supervise their kids when they are doing risky things.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“... under the supervision of an adult who tells them safety rules.”可知，在父母的监管下孩子可以做些冒险的事情。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
No one likes lies. But unfortunately, most of us ever lied to people around us. __31__ Learning to be honest can help to clean up your relationships. Here are some ways to be honest with others.
Stop comparing yourself with others. __32__ As we're always comparing ourselves with others, we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie. If you stop feeling competitive with others and give yourself the value you deserve, you won't feel the need to lie to bring yourself up.
Forget what you think other people want to hear from you. Speak from your heart and tell the truth. You don't have to worry about whether or not it will make you look “bad.”__33__
Avoid situations in which you'll have to lie to others. Be careful when someone begins a sentence with “Don't tell so-and-so about this, okay？”__34__ For example, you can say “If it is something that doesn't concern me, please don't tell me. I don't want to be responsible for anyone's secrets but my own.”
__35__ You don't have to lie if you feel good about yourself! Do things that give you pleasure and that make you feel proud of yourself. Start with some little things. Don't do things that make you embarrassed.
A．Know your weaknesses.
B．Do things that make you proud.
C．That's why we tell lies so often!
D．It is not a good manner, though.
E．You should be prepared for this situation.
F．People respect honesty even when the truth is uncomfortable.
G．Sometimes we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了对他人诚实的几种方法。
31．答案与解析：D 此空设于段中，是一个过渡句，与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系，并引出下句中“Learning to be honest...”的观点。本句中的It指代的是上文中的“lied to people around us”。
32．答案与解析：G 此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。下句中的“we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie”与“we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are”相呼应，都是想表达由于喜欢攀比，我们会用谎言来使自己看起来比真实的自己好。
33．答案与解析：F 此空设于段尾，是一个总结句。本句意为“即使事实不尽如人意，人们还是尊重诚实”。
34．答案与解析：E 此空设于段中，与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系。this situation指代的是上文中的“when someone begins a sentence...”。
35．答案与解析：B 此空设于段首，是本段主题句。下文都是围绕“做一些让你自豪的事”而展开论述的。

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Last week I 56.________ (take) on a difficult task of showing kindness. The idea came from a few posts on a website. I decided 57.________ (reach) out to a few people I hadn't talked to for the past few years.
One was a cousin, 58.________I had lost touch with for 25 years. She was very happy when we got 59.________ touch. The other two were friends I hadn't talked to in nearly 10 years. It was really good to talk to 60.________ (they) both.
With one of them, I reached out at a great time for him. He had forgotten my name 61.________ (entire) but remembered I disliked 62.________ (run) when young because I had asthma. He was grateful that I called him and said some very kind 63.________ (thing) to me about our past. I am glad our friendship mattered to him.
I think 64.________is good to be the one to take the initiative (主动性) to be kind and reach out. Even if it seems difficult at the time, in the end it offers 65.________ (wonder) rewards!
56．答案与解析：took 考查一般过去时。由前面的Last week可知，此处是对过去事实的描述，应用一般过去时，故填took。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our three children. We had a wonderful time. Besides, I experienced something that left a deep impression on me.
Our children were excited about the attraction where children could drive the cars. They were so delighted that I decided to stand beside the track to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.
As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who was about 7 years old. They rolled down the hill at the beginning, but suddenly the car stopped. The young driver looked nervous, “I can't do it.” His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”
“No. I can't！”
“Yes, you can, son.”
The little guy was almost in tears, “I can't！” With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.” A moment later, with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly (顺利地) on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes and it reminded (使想起) me of my dear father. Just like that little boy's dad, my father used to say the same words to me. Every time things got hard or when I experienced setbacks along the way, he would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
Time and time again the words greatly encouraged me on the journey. I'm aware that I can't do things under my own power, but the words “Yes, you can” come beside me and give me wisdom and strength. As I benefited (受益) a lot from them, I often tell my children never to say “I can't” easily when they meet something difficult.

I began smoking at 13, with a friend in the evenings when we were out. I never thought of the damage it brought me. But I had a bad cough after a cold, and my teeth weren't as white as my sister's, who never smoked. I no longer played any sports. Since all my friends smoked, I never felt different.
I met and married my husband Paul when we were 22，both smoking like chimneys (烟囱). I had two children by the time I was 26, and life went on as normal. We smoked around our children, never thinking it would be doing them any harm. They both begged us to stop when they learned about the hazards of smoking. We just rolled our eyes at each other.
My parents quit smoking, and my aunts quit smoking, but they were older. I had lots of time to quit in my life. Paul's mother died of a heart attack at only 55, after suffering two diseases caused by smoking. And still we smoked.
At the age of 36, I had a child with a breathing problem. We moved outside to smoke, as she had such trouble breathing, and we didn't want to add to that!
Then my father died a few years later of cancer throughout his body. Still I smoked, even as he asked me on his deathbed to try to stop. I did mean to, but I thought that I had too many worries to deal with. How would I face them without a smoke? Little did I know then that the smoking was only adding to my inability (无能) to deal with trouble, clouding my whole world in smoke.
Then Paul had an extremely serious problem in his heart because of a condition caused by smoking. Finally, I decided to quit smoking. I knew I'd suffer greatly too if I kept smoking. Paul decided to join me, of course. He had no choice if he didn't want to die.
Luckily, we made it. Now I have enough energy, a joy in living, and more confidence than ever before.

课时作业 2
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have porridge，eggs or toast. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn't alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother preferred to know where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept，my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Laws. She made us work. We had to wash dishes，make beds，and learn to cook and all kinds of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been taken away by the police or divorced (离婚). She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean”. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However，the teacher that I remember most was Mrs Green from Marianna，Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student，not only in her class，but at the school，she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays，she taught us how to make ornaments (装饰物) from eggs. My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.
She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special，especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favourite” student，but to make every student feel that they are special. That year，I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖). I was really proud and so were my parents.
Looking back at it，I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved. Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them，which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to their favourite teacher as I found her to be mine.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了作者对她五年级的一位老师Mrs Green的回忆和感激，并认为她的成就很大一部分都是因为有一位让她能感受到爱、感受到她很重要的老师，并希望将来有学生能喜欢她就像她喜欢Mrs Green一样。

7．What will the author probably do in the future?
A．Become a leader. B．Become a teacher.
C．Become an artist. D．Become the President.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them，which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to their favourite teacher as I found her to be mine.”可知，作者将来有可能成为一个老师。B项符合原文之意。故选B项。

课时作业 3
阅读理解
A
In early November of 1942, my geology (地质学)class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage (通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle-aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者的老师带领全班同学进行了一次户外寻矿活动。

2．What does the underlined word “ducking” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Turning. B．Touching.
C．Lowering. D．Hitting.

3．Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore?
A．Impatient. B．Careless.
C．Hard-working. D．Warm-hearted.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.”可知，药店的店员很热心。
4．What can we know from the passage?
A．The class failed to see the mica mine.

Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular (有规律的) habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9：30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect (查看) his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”， Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote，“Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this：she... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games！”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish (出版)a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”， Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London's Westminster Abbey.

While you might not realize it, the environment where you sleep can make a great difference in the actual quality of sleep that you get every night. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地)．
Go to sleep only when you start to feel sleepy. If you don't fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired.
Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Avoid caffeine (咖啡因) 6 hours before you sleep. Having a cup of coffee within a few hours of bed time can keep you awake for hours when you are trying to sleep. Coffee isn't the only product containing caffeine. Avoid chocolate and tea, too. Also limit (限制) how much you drink before bed to prevent trips to the toilet at night.
Many people turn on the TV before they go to bed. TV influences your natural sleep habits by making you stay up longer than you usually would, especially if you are watching something exciting. Instead of turning on the TV, read a book. Light reading before bed can help you fall into a deep sleep quickly.
If you suffer from serious sleep problems, go to your doctor. Your doctor will help treat the problem or may advise you to see a sleep specialist.

A．Having slept too much.
