/ The Sound of Music/ / 音乐之声 /
《音乐之声》展现了奥地利山峦起伏、森林茂密的美丽自然风光，抒发了作者对故乡、对大自然、对音乐的无比热爱。
My day in the hills has come to an end
I know
A star has come out to tell me
1．It’s_time to go
But deep in the dark-green shadows
Are voices that urge me to stay
So I pause and I wait and I listen
For one more sound for one more lovely thing
2．That_the_hills might say．．．
The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung 3．for_a_thousand_years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart 4．wants_to_sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like the chime that flies from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook 5．when_it_trips and falls over stones in its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to prey
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I’ve heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I’ll sing once more
我在山中的日子就要结束了
我知道
一颗星星出来告诉了我
是时候离开了
但在墨绿色阴影的深处
传来了让我留下来的声音
于是我停下来，等待着，聆听着
为了再出现一个声音，为了再出现一件可爱的事情……
群山也许在说
群山是鲜活的
伴着音乐之声
伴着他们歌唱的歌曲
已经过了千年
群山填满了我的心
伴着这音乐之声
我的心也想歌唱
把听到的每一首都唱出来
我的心想要拍打跳动
像鸟儿的翅膀一样
从湖面飞到树枝
我的心想要轻叹
就像飞扬的钟声
乘着微风从教堂吹来
笑声像蜿蜒的小溪
一路轻盈跳跃起伏
自然地绕过石头
整夜歌唱
就像是云雀
在学习捕食
我走到群山中
当我内心孤独时
我知道我会听到我
之前听过的声音
我的心将被祝福
伴着这音乐之声
我将再一次歌唱

Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again．Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times．Unconsciously(无意识地)，this is the way our minds work to pass history on．There was a time when writing, reading, books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all．Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation．People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past．This is called the “oral(口述的) tradition”．
Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth．Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and grandchildren．Can you recall any of this? I can．How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?
Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids．As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room．He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees．Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor．
We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days．Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends．So oral tradition goes on and on．

Generally, the blues are often associated with unhappy things．For example, if you lose your job, you might want to listen to the blues．Although the blues often deal with unhappy personal things, the music itself goes far beyond self-pity．The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of sadness, making you relaxed, and simply having fun．
The blues has deep roots in American history, particularly African-American history．The blues began in Southern plantations(大农场) in the 19th century．Its inventors were slaves, ex-slaves and the children of slaves—African-American sharecroppers(佃农) who sang as they worked in the cotton and vegetable fields．
The blues grew up in the Mississippi Delta just upriver from New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz．Blues and jazz have always influenced each other, and they still influence each other in many ways today．Unlike jazz, the blues didn’t spread out quickly from the South to the Midwest until the 1930s and 1940s．When the Delta blues made their way up the Mississippi to urban areas, the music developed into electrified Chicago blues, other regional blues styles, and various jazz-blues hybrids．About ten years later, the blues gave birth to rhythms(节奏) ‘n’ blues and rock ‘n’ roll．
No single person invented the blues, but many people said they had discovered different styles of the blues．For example, a bandleader, W．C．Handy insisted that the blues was first shown to him in 1903 by a street guitarist at a train station in Tutwiler, Mississippi．
During the middle to late 1800s, the Deep South was home to hundreds of important bluesmen who helped to shape the music．Unfortunately, much of this original music followed these sharecroppers to their graves．But the music of these earliest blues pioneers can still be heard in the recordings of 1920s and 1930s from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and other Southern states．

My name is Sara．When I was little, I played the drums．I also had a guitar．In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号)．I practised about four hours a week．All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others．I was born without hands．Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢)．
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队)．I told my mom I wanted to do it．But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade，but probably because my body was different．All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band．And it paid off!
Music gives me energy．That happens sometimes．One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed．Then I hit my MP3 player by accident．A song came on, and I got up and started dancing．It helped me say to myself，“OK, I can get through today．”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节)．I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids．It’s a normal problem that we musicians share．When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations．It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life．

No doubt there are ups and downs in life．Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life．Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地)．
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain．In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack．My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest．Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions．Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands．” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe．At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain．My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected．
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure．Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made．Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success．We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous(勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden(负担)．A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life．

No doubt there are ups and downs in life．Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life．Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地)．
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain．In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack．My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest．Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions．Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands．” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe．At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain．My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected．
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure．Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made．Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success．We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous(勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden(负担)．A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life．

常用的这类词有：

答案：challenged
过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语的类型
过去分词作状语，可以表示时间、原因、条件、让步、方式/伴随和结果，相当于一个状语从句。其逻辑主语为主句的主语，且与主句主语之间构成逻辑上的被动关系。
1．过去分词作时间状语
过去分词作时间状语时，相当于时间状语从句。可在过去分词前加上连词“when, while, until”等，使其时间意义更明确。
◆Looked at from a distance, the painting seems much more beautiful．
→When it is looked at from a distance, the painting seems much more beautiful．
当从远处看时，这幅画似乎更美了。

◆Worried about the exam, I was unsettled in these days．
→Because I was worried about the exam, I was unsettled in these days．
由于担心考试，我这几天感到不安。
3．过去分词作条件状语

那个病人在护士的搀扶下下了床。
◆She accepted the gift, deeply moved．
→She accepted the gift, and she was deeply moved．

值得注意的是，有些过去分词(短语)因来源于系表结构，作状语时不强调被动而重在描述主语的状态。这样的过去分词(短语)常见的有：lost(迷路); seated(坐); hidden(躲); lost/absorbed in(沉溺于); dressed in(穿着); tired of(厌烦)。
◆Lost in thought, he didn’t hear the bell．
由于陷入沉思之中，他没有听到铃声。
【典例2】 (2018·北京卷)Ordinary soap，____________(use) correctly, can deal with bacteria effectively．
解析：考查非谓语动词作状语。句意：普通的香皂，只要使用正确，就可以有效除菌。use与其逻辑主语为被动关系，故填过去分词used。
答案：used
过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别
过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，即表示被动；现在分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即表示主动。
分词作状语记忆口诀
分词作状语，主语是问题。
前后两动作，共用一主语。
主语找出后，再来判关系。

Since I was born, I have been listening to music all the time．Not just any music, but the right kind of music．
It may seem strange to say that, but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience．Most people are musically illiterate(了解不多的) simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music．Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra(交响乐团)．They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films．But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world．To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound—it is like a big wave．It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with．
My mother was a well-known singer．She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages．I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well．
My mother was the sixteenth child in her family．She was the youngest and by the time she was born, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed．With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman．
Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him．What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother．I am like him in many ways．He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad．I seem to have inherited(继承) something of that from him．Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness—a real show business personality(性格)．

Deciding whether or not to take part in an extracurricular(课外的) activity can be a challenge(挑战)．Before signing up to play on the volleyball team, first consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision．
1．________ Students are successful when they take part in many activities．They do well in their classes and feel more connected to school．Research shows that students in extracurricular activities have better attendance and grades．
Extracurricular activities also help students make new friends and lasting relationships．2．________ Even though we became friends a long time ago, we are still close today．
While these activities have many advantages, students should consider the downside as well．3．________ Extracurricular activities can be too much for students who do not practise good time management．Students need to be good at managing their time between different activities．
Another downside to extracurricular activities involves transportation．4．________ This situation limits students’extracurricular choices to those outside the school and closer to home．A few of my classmates joined the school’s cultural club．They later discovered that it met after school．These students dropped out of the club because they had to catch their buses．
Only you can decide if extracurricular activities are right for you．Activities outside the school can help you succeed in many areas of your life．5．________ Are you up for a challenge?
A．We were both in the eight-and-under age group．
B．Some clubs or sports meet before or after school．
C．One downside is that it can create a busy life for students．

Born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871, Emily Carr was the second-youngest of nine children born to English parents．
Carr’s mother died in 1886．Carr showed interest in art at an early age, and her father encouraged her to pursue the interest．However, it was only in 1890, after her parents’ deaths, that Carr followed her dream seriously．She studied at the San Francisco Art Institute for two years(1890－1892) before returning to Victoria．In 1899, Carr traveled to London, where she studied at the Westminster School of Art．
In 1898，at age 27, Carr made the first of several sketching(画素描) and painting trips to some local people’s villages．She stayed in a village near Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island, home to the Nuu-chah-nulth people, then commonly known to English-speaking people as “Nootka”．Carr recalled that her time in Ucluelet made a lasting impression on her．In 1912, Carr took a sketching trip to Indian villages on the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Upper Skeena River, and Alert bay．
Determined to further her knowledge of the age’s artistic trends, in 1910, Carr returned to Europe to study at the Academie Colarossi in Paris．In Montparnasse, Emily Carr met modernist painter Harry Gibb．Upon viewing his work, she showed a great interest in his use of color．She had never thought color could be used in that way．Carr’s study with Gibb and his techniques shaped and influenced her style of painting, and she formed a vibrant(充满生气的) color style rather than continuing with her earlier British training．
Carr was also greatly influenced by the Fauvists(野兽派画家) she met and studied with in France．After returning home in 1912, she organized an exhibition in her studio．She was the first artist to introduce Fauvism to Vancouver．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。Emily Carr 是一位英国画家，她在巴黎学习后，画风得到了很大的改变。

C．To learn about local people’s life．

3．After looking at Harry Gibb’s works, how did Carr most probably feel?
A．Worried． B．Amazed．
C．Confused． D．Disappointed．
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的Upon viewing his work, she showed a great interest in his use of color．She had never thought color could be used in that way．可推断，Carr当时很惊讶，她没想到还能那样运用色彩。

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, have something to sing about．For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes．They didn’t have the money to pay for them．But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year．
Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school．And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower．For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a five-year study．They found that the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t．
Though most people aren’t against teaching music in schools, not everyone says it’s necessary．
Many school officials argue(争论) that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life．
Here’s what two of our readers think．
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun．We have music classes at my school, and I love them!
Taking music lessons can also build character．In 2015, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education．More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused(集中注意力的)．
—Noah Falcon, New Jersey
At my school, we don’t have music classes．I think that’s OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths．It’s more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing．
If someone wants to take music lessons, he or she can do it outside of school．Once I took a mariachi(墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school, so it didn’t take time away from my other classes．
—Sophia Salazar, California
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，文章探讨了儿童是否应该在学校上音乐课。
5．What change has happened in primary schools in Bellaire this year?
A．Music classes are offered．
B．The school year is shortened．
C．Singing is allowed in schools．
D．Kids can get prizes if they learn music．
A 解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes．和But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year．的对比可知，该地区的小学今年开设了音乐课。
6．What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Create． B．Prevent．
C．Increase． D．Discover．
C 解析：词义猜测题。由第二段中介绍的研究结果the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t．可知，音乐课可以促进脑力的开发。
7．What does Noah Falcon think of music education?
A．It is unnecessary．
B．It is very important．
C．It is a waste of money．
D．It is easy to continue．
B 解析：推理判断题。由Noah Falcon表达的观点it makes learning more fun和Taking music lessons can also build character．可知，他认为音乐教育很重要。
8．What can we learn about Sophia Salazar?
A．She didn’t like music at all．
B．Music brings her more fun．
C．Music helps her keep focused．
D．She took a music class after school．
D 解析：细节理解题。由Sophia Salazar 自述的I took a mariachi(墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school可知答案。

Time to Live a Low-carbon Life and Create a Better World
Dear_fellow_students，
Our earth is getting warmer and warmer．It is causing terrible climate changes, a rise in sea level and the disappearance of species! However, there are many small things we can do to change this situation．
First, we should walk or ride our bike if we can．Second, recycle bottles, plastic bags and newspapers．Buy things made from recycled materials．Third, turn off electronic devices．If you are not using the lights, the TV, and the computer, turn them off．In this way, you can save a lot of energy．Finally, educate others．Talk to friends, family and school teachers about global warming and call on them to help stop it．
Let’s start now and try our best to help stop global warming!

Andrew Feldman is a student at Lawrence Woodmere Academy (LWA) in Woodmere, New York．On June 25, 2018, he took home the top prize at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards(全美高中生音乐剧奖) at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre．
Also known as the Jimmy Awards, the awards were named to remember James M．Nederlander, a theatre owner and Broadway producer who died in 2016．
Feldman won the award for Best Performance by an Actor for playing Frank Abagnale Jr．in LWA’s production of “Catch Me If You Can．” He and Reneé Rapp each received a$10，000 scholarship．Rapp from Charlotte, North Carolina, is the winner of the Best Performance by an Actress award．The other remaining seventy-eight finalists received$3，000 scholarships．
The finalists received a week of training at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts (TSOA) before the awards event．Instructors from Broadway taught them basic skills of performing arts．
Feldman also won the Carnegie Mellon Pre-College Scholarship．Carnegie Mellon University, based in Pittsburgh, was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie．Feldman received an additional $7，500 to attend the university’s six-week summer play program．
He has been a Broadway lover since seeing “Beauty and the Beast” when he was young．And then he performed in his first play, a production of “Annie，” at eight．
The shock of winning has still not disappeared．“Winning the Jimmy Award is not something I even imagined，” Feldman said．“I didn’t think it could actually happen! It’s now been about a week and a half and I still don’t believe it．”
In 2014, Feldman created a theatre company called Zneefrock Productions．The company is run totally by teens．It was set up to raise money for NEXT for Autism, an organization helping to support autism programs．

A．He traveled around Pittsburgh．
B．He received training at TSOA．

22．What did Feldman say about winning the prize?
A．He was certain of it．
B．He was not expecting it．
C．It took him a lot of effort．
D．It was not a great achievement．
B 解析：细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的Winning the Jimmy Award is not something I even imagined可知，Feldman并没有想到自己会获得吉米奖。
23．What is the text mainly about?
A．A group of Broadway lovers．
B．A theatre company run by teens．

A meeting of The Washington Post employees was held on 5 August, 2013．Into the crowded hall entered chairman Donald E．Graham, and his niece and publisher Katherine Weymouth．The air was thick．The newspaper was to get a new boss! Jeffrey P．Bezos of Amazon．com would buy the daily for $250 million in cash．
Both the uncle and the niece took turns in telling the news and answering their questions．Many of the audiences wept because they were unable to accept the news．“The rise of Internet and the change from print to digital technology have created a huge wave of competition for traditional news companies，” said Donald E．Graham．
In 2013, after struggling with the falling revenue(收益) for years, The New York Times (NYT) sold its The Boston Globe newspaper for $70 million．The NYT bought the paper in 1993 for $1．1 billion．Just twenty years later, the company sold it for a cheap price．
Nowadays, things seem to be worse than ever．Newspapers are reporting negative growth across US and Europe．Francis Gurry, the 4th Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization said that newspapers would disappear by 2040．
This may cause a lot of problems for media jobs．For example, layoffs(裁员) and salary cuts are very common now．Many of the journalists have already moved to different jobs where their writing and editing skills are of no use．A large number of former journalists work as marketing executives, or property developers．In Canada last year, Sun Media, the largest newspaper chain there, stopped its eight dailies, closing 360 jobs and slashing 500 positions．
The traditional media still send people out to collect stories．However, with the mobile phones today, everybody is a reporter．Therefore, the newspapers are forced to adapt in order to survive．That may be a revolution(革命), but at the cost of newspapers．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。受到互联网的冲击，很多传统报纸销量下降，甚至传统报纸也会面临消失。
24．Why did Donald E．Graham decide to sell The Washington Post?
A．He really needed money．
B．He had trouble in governing it．
C．The company planned to do something else．
D．The company was at a disadvantage in competition．
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段Donald E．Graham的话可知，他卖报纸的原因是因为它在竞争中处于劣势。
25．What was Francis Gurry’s attitude towards the future of newspapers?
A．Confident． B．Negative．
C．Uninterested． D．Curious．
B 解析：观点态度题。根据第四段的Francis Gurry, the 4th Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization said that newspapers would disappear by 2040．可推断，他对报纸的前途持消极态度。
26．What does the underlined word “slashing” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A．Creating． B．Requiring．
C．Cutting． D．Changing．
C 解析：词义猜测题。根据本段中的This may cause a lot of problems for media jobs．For example, layoffs(裁员) and salary cuts are very common now．和．．．stopped its eight dailies, closing 360 jobs可推测，画线词意为“削减职位”。

Until March 18, New York City is hosting the New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF)．The festival presented films from 24 countries．50% of the filmmakers are women．
Since February 23, when the festival began, viewers have been able to choose from more than 100 films at six theaters across the city．Although the event is considered as a children’s festival, the films set no rules as to who you are or where you come from．
Among the films presented at the festival, Zoo and Zombillenium are two impressive(给人印象深刻的) ones．Zoo is a British war film that shows the difference that a kid can make．
Tom is the protagonist(主角) of this heartwarming story．Tom’s dad is the owner of the Belfast Zoo．After he leaves to fight in the war, Tom has to save the zoo’s baby elephant, Buster, from being killed in the war．
“I loved it，” said 9-year-old Gabriel Bieller of New York City after seeing the film．“It really taught how kids could make a difference．”
Ella Hanson, 7, was also moved．“The sweet story of a kid like me making a difference when faced with difficulties caused by a war，” she said, “was very encouraging．”
Zombillenium is an animated(动画的) French film about working hard to achieve your dreams．Hector Saxe is the immediately dislikeable protagonist．His management job is all about rules．But after he starts working at the amusement park(游乐园) that he hates, he puts all of his love into getting it ready for his daughter to visit．
The film had many positive reactions(反响) from the audience．“The story presented great, lifelike characters，” said Sami Ali, 12．
Oliver, 10, who did not provide a last name, said, “It was rather sad, but it underlined the importance of never letting go of the things that you care about．”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纽约国际儿童电影节的情况。
27．What can we learn about this year’s NYICFF?
A．It lasted more than three weeks．
B．It attracted viewers from 24 countries．
C．It presented films mostly made by women．
D．It only presented films with kids as protagonists．
A 解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的Until March 18和第二段中的Since February 23可知，该电影节持续了三周多的时间。

A．He saves the owner of a zoo．
B．He is forced to fight in a war．

30．What might the viewers think of Hector Saxe at first?
A．Shy． B．Strict．
C．Hard-working． D．Warm-hearted．
B 解析：推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的Hector Saxe is the immediately dislikeable．．．all about rules．可知，Hector Saxe一出场就不招人喜爱，他一开始的管理工作列满了条条框框的规定，因此可推断他给观众的第一印象是非常严格。

第二节 读写续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30 a．m．When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window．
I walked to the_door and knocked．“Just a minute，” answered a weak, elderly voice．
After a long time, the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood before me．By her side was a small suitcase．
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car．
She kept thanking me for my kindness．“It’s nothing，” I told her．
“I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．”
“Oh, you’re such a good man，” she said．When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown？”
“It’s not the shortest way，” I answered quickly．
“Oh, I’m in no hurry，” she said．“I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院)．I don’t have any family left．The doctor says I don’t have very long．”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器)．For the next two hours, we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl．
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow_down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing．
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired．Let’s go now．” We drove in silence to the address she had given me．
“How much do I owe you？” she asked．
“Nothing，”I said．
“You have to make_a_living，” she answered．“Oh, there are other passengers，” I answered．She said thanks to me, but she looked so sad．

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug．Before the woman left, I said to her, “My mother treated everyone kindly．She is a great person, but she passed away years ago．You are like my mother．” The woman said, “Thank you．If you want to visit me, I’ll tell you my story．” Then the woman left．After a long pause, I drove the taxi to go home．
Paragraph 2：
The next day I was on my way to visit her．The old woman told me that she used to be a millionaire．She became immersed in making money．She was the owner of a particular building we saw last night．But she neglected her family．Her only son died one year ago because of cancer．She sold everything to save him, but failed．How sad! At last, the old woman said to me, “Life is short, but please be in no hurry．Though everyone has to earn money to make_a_living,_always remember that family is the most important thing to you．” I said nothing but nodded hard．

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2．5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Students in a college French class have helped fill the empty bookshelves of a very poor Haitian(海地的) school by writing 90 books．Although many children in Haiti speak Creole(克里奥尔语) at home, French is taught in classrooms and used by the government, and students are asked to know the language in order to get further education．Therefore, the class hoped to provide resources to help the young students learn French well．
The project, called Little French Books, was headed up by Jennifer Shotwell, a French professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia．Shotwell had visited Haiti with a group of students in 2013 to support a Haitian student and give books to a new library．Following the trip, Shotwell brought the experience back to her classroom．
“My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by writing children’s books，” Shotwell said．“Though some learners don’t think they can produce much with a new language, my students are learning to express themselves and create entertaining stories that we finally share with disadvantaged children who are also learning French．”
Shotwell had sent French books to Haitian schools, but they were printed on cheap paper that could be easily broken．So she started a Kickstarter, which collected more than $1，000 to make books with durable covers．
The books, which included stories about princesses, dinosaurs and exciting experiences，were given to the St．Gabriel’s school in Lascahobas．
“Each time a child gets into a new book, he will no doubt get new knowledge and new understanding．The Little French Books means a lot to our students，” said Gardy Myrtil, a teacher at the school．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个法语班的大学生们自己动手为落后的海地学校编写图书，帮助当地的学生更好地学习法语。
21．Why do the college students create books for children in Haiti?
A．To help the children learn French．
B．To follow the government’s requirements．
C．To stop the children from speaking Creole．
D．To make the library open with enough books．
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的．．．to help the young students learn French well可知，法语班的大学生们希望通过编写书籍来帮助海地的孩子学习法语。
22．What can we learn about the Little French Books?
A．It was started in 2003 by a student．
B．It is in the charge of Jennifer Shotwell．
C．It helps set up many new libraries in Haiti．
D．It provides textbooks as well as storybooks．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，Little French Books是由Jennifer Shotwell负责的。
23．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “durable” in Paragraph 4?
A．Strong． B．Colorful．
C．Beautiful． D．Thin．
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段的第一句可知，Shotwell曾经给海地学校寄过书，但是这些书的纸张质量很差，很容易破裂。由此可以推知，Kickstarter通过筹集资金后制作的图书的封皮更加耐用。durable意为“耐用的；持久的”，在文章中可以用strong来代替。
B
In recent years, I’ve found mental illness has been a term largely avoided in conversation, and this has built a huge stigma(耻辱) against those suffering from depression(抑郁), anxiety, and other mental illnesses．What’s worse, mental illness is only brought up when the news draws our attention to it, but then the conversation quiets until the next sad thing happens．
It’s time for the conversation to continue．Instead of waiting for the next sad thing, we need to be open about mental health and about the struggles that come with mental illness and treatment．We need to develop an environment where people feel comfortable to ask for the help they need instead of hiding．
It takes a long time, but I am now open about my anxiety and depression．I’m open about my taking medication to treat my mental illnesses．I’m open about the struggle of finding the medication that works．I encourage everyone to do the same．Be honest and open with your conversations about mental health．The more comfortable people are with these conversations, the easier it will be for the conversation to continue．A continued conversation will lead to more ideas on treatment and more ideas on how to give help to those who need it．
We have the ability to help those we love and break the stigma around mental illness．Mental illness can actually affect anyone, impacting one out of every four people．
In short, let’s keep the conversation about mental health and mental illness open．Be sure to check up on your friends, and be open about the importance of mental health．If you’re comfortable, share your story, which may let others know they are not alone．Just as Albus Dumbledore said, “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”．Therefore, remember to turn on the light．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。最近几年，人们对心理疾病总是讳莫如深。作者针对此事阐述了自己的看法并且提出了建议。
24．Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．It’s hard to recover from mental illness．
B．We should pay much attention to our health．
C．The youth more likely suffer from mental illness．
D．People easily feel shame about having mental illness．
D 解析：观点态度题。根据第一段的In recent years, I’ve found mental illness has been a term．．．anxiety, and other mental illnesses．可知，人们常常因患精神疾病而感到羞耻。
25．How can a continued conversation benefit those with mental illnesses?
A．By reducing their anxiety．
B．By making them feel comfortable．
C．By helping them get support from others．
D．By helping them obtain some good advice on treatment．
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的A continued conversation will lead to more ideas on treatment and more ideas on how to give help to those who need it．可知，如果出现心理问题，多跟别人深入交流有好处，也许可以得到治疗的好办法。
26．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Start a Conversation
B．Be Open About Mental Health
C．The Importance of Mental Health
D．How to Avoid Depression and Anxiety
B 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要讲了人们在面对有关心理健康或者心理疾病的问题时，总是选择避而不谈。因此作者建议人们应该大胆、敞开交流，以此来寻求最佳的解决方法，故可推出答案。
C
There have been some suggestions lately calling for the end of traffic in some cities by the year 2034．In order to reduce(减少) all this traffic, governments are planning to take away one of its biggest contributors(促成物)—cars．But is this a good idea? Our first reaction may be NO-NO-NO．They’re taking away our cars and how can we travel in the city daily? But when you consider the problem a little longer, you may find the plans quite sound and realistic．Here’s why：
The one thing that annoys(使烦恼) most big cities is the non-stop heavy traffic．You have to see how terrible it is to drive into a very busy city centre—London, Miami, Tokyo? I’d say it’s very bad．City layouts(规划) simply aren’t built to manage that many moving parts．If we allow only buses, taxis and bikes to use the road, traffic problems in large cities will be immediately solved．
If you ever go to a large city centre, you often realize the difficulty some people have with sidewalk-to-sidewalk travel．If you live in New York City, there are so many people crossing in such a small area, that it’s often difficult to know what exactly is even going on．But if cities begin to do away with cars, we’d see an increase in out-of-town travellers more willing to walk about city centres in safety．
The one thing that troubles any driver is being stuck in a traffic jam in the centre of town．You move forward at a very low speed, feeling annoyed, mad, and helpless．But why go through this hassle? If we do away with cars throughout major cities, it will give drivers the chance to actually enjoy their journeys on (more) open roads．It’s a strange thought, yes, but many drivers will tell you driving in city centres is like driving in hell(地狱)．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，城市中心禁止小汽车通行有助于解决交通问题。
27．What is the author’s attitude to the government plans in Paragraph 1?
A．Doubtful． B．Uninterested．
C．Unfavourable． D．Supportive．
D 解析：推理判断题。由第一段中的But when you consider．．．sound and realistic．可推断，作者支持这些政府计划。
28．What can we infer form Paragraph 2?
A．Many large cities are widening their roads．
B．Cars are the main cause of traffic problems．
C．There is something wrong with city layouts．
D．The author is an experienced driver in a big city．
B 解析：推理判断题。由第二段中的If we allow only buses, taxis and bikes to use the road, traffic problems in large cities will be immediately solved．可推断，小汽车是造成交通拥挤的主要原因。
29．What does the author say about New York City?
A．It is heavily polluted．
B．Its streets are too busy．
C．It has fewer cars than before．
D．Its tourist numbers are increasing．
B 解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的If you live in New York City．．．is even going on．可知，作者指出纽约市的街道非常拥挤。
30．What does the underlined word “hassle” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．A sudden change．
B．A serious accident．
C．An annoying situation．
D．A dangerous experience．
C 解析：词义猜测题。hassle指代最后一段前两句所描述的情况，即司机开车被堵在市镇中心，以龟速前行，抓狂、急躁又无助。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使你在上学日的早晨有条不紊地准备东西出门的几条建议。
31．G 解析：此空设于段中，与第一句是并列关系。根据后面的Don’t worry．可推测，此句应和第一句并列，都是描述在上学日的早上可能会出现的一些不好的状况。
32．A 解析：此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。本段后面的内容都是围绕此句展开的，指出要提前把东西准备好。
33．C 解析：此空设于段中，对上一句进行解释。上句指出要提前至少三十分钟起床，此句解释原因，因为只有这样，你才能有充足的时间准备一切。
34．F 解析：此空设于段尾，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。此句中的It指代的是上文提到的take a quick shower。
35．E 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。本段前一句指出要确保你喜欢你的早餐，后一句讲如果你没有充足的时间准备早餐，把面包、鸡蛋等作为早餐也是一个不错的选择可推测，此处讲要记住有早餐总比没有好。

A 解析：由上文中的my parents both had to work the night of the contest以及本句中的But可知，比赛当晚，“我”的父母都得上班。但是当“我”站在舞台上时，“我”看到他们的朋友们来了，sent符合语境。
53．A．judge B．winner
C．speaker D．audience
B 解析：由上文中的the contest以及本句中的cheered可推断，此处表示作者夺得了“冠军(winner)”。
54．A．hearing B．discussing
C．learning D．changing
C 解析：由上文可知，作者上小学时，因自己的种族和肤色不同倍感自卑，不愿意戴头巾，也不愿意讲索马里语。结合本句中的again可知，“我”现在又在“学(learning)”索马里语。
55．A．almost B．just
C．never D．even
C 解析：由上文中的When I started at a middle school for students of different races, I began to realize I had been．．．I wanted to change those in my position(处境)以及后来参加选美比赛可知，此处表示“我”曾经忘记了自己文化中的许多东西，现在“我”再也不想丢掉它们了，故填never。
第二节(共10小题；每小题1．5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，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。
I’ve been living in the Basque Country in Southwest France for three 56．____________(month) now, and I really love it!
The Basque Country is an area 57．____________ covers parts of Southwest France and Northwest Spain．This area has many wonderful traditions involving(涉及) food, music, festivals and more．While all those things are great, it’s the Basque language that I find the most 58．____________(interest) of all．I came to France 59．____________(learn) French, but I can’t help 60．____________(be) attracted by this strange-looking language, which doesn’t seem to have anything in common with French, English, or any other language! It 61．____________(certain) doesn’t sound like any language I’ve ever heard before!
Languages like Basque are called minority(少数民族)languages because they 62．____________(speak) by a smaller number of people than the other language or languages in a country．Basque is a minority language in France because most people speak French instead, and 63．____________number of Basque speakers is decreasing, especially among young people．
Minority languages like Basque bring local communities together and give people an identity that is a bit different from the rest of the country．64．____________ would be a pity if these languages disappeared, so people should try hard to protect 65．____________(they)．
56．months 解析：考查名词复数。设空处表示“月”，month是可数名词，由设空处前的three可知，此处应填months。
57．that/which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词area，且在从句中作主语，故填that/which。
58．interesting 解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。it’s．．．that．．．为强调句，可还原为I find the Basque language the most ____________(interest) of all．。由此可知，设空处应填形容词interesting，表示“有趣的”。
59．to learn 解析：考查不定式作状语的用法。设空处所在句意为“我来法国学法语”，故填to learn。 to learn French在此作目的状语。
60．being 解析：考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处所在句意为“我却不由地被这种形式奇特的语言所吸引”，故填being。 can’t help doing sth．意为“忍不住做某事”。
61．certainly 解析：考查副词。设空处作状语，表示“毫无疑问”，故填副词certainly。
62．are spoken 解析：考查一般现在时的被动语态。they(指代minority languages)与speak之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，因为此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，故填are spoken。
63．the 解析：考查定冠词。设空处所在句意为“讲巴斯克语的人数在减少”，故填the。the number of．．．意为“……的数量”。
64．It 解析：考查it的用法。It would be a pity if．．．为固定句型，表示“如果……就太可惜了”。
65．them 解析：考查代词。设空处作宾语，指代these languages，表示“它们”，故填them。

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization．Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a person．However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded greatly．People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries(奢侈品)．Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy．The problem is that the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost unavoidably associated with environmental damage．
There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment．One of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, the construction of large industrial plants is required．These plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people．
Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption．The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment．There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy．They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices(牺牲) to support these undertakings．What’s more, to produce economically practical energy, people unavoidably have to transform the natural site．This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment．For example, application of wind energy would block air flows’ natural speed, which is the reason for their decrease in strength after crossing the windmill．Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure．
For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage, whatsoever, is impossible．

Humans’ desire for material comforts has resulted in great damage to the environment．(要点1) To produce more goods, we have constructed industrial plants, which consume lots of energy and cause serious pollution．(要点2) Though people try to substitute eco-friendly energy for traditional sources, it takes time and even the clean energy will influence the environment in some ways．(要点3) So economic growth is bound to go hand in hand with environmental damage．(要点4)
