From my earliest memories, I felt as if my mother was preparing me for something special. When entering a room，her entire focus was on me. I felt as if I was the center of her universe—a great feeling. Offering her the same respect，I intently listened to her stories without interrupting；I tried to return that feeling of being truly loved.
Even though there was always deep affection flowing between us，she wasn’t a softy. She worked hard and expected her children to do the same. I began working in our little corner grocery store by age eight and managed it by the age of twelve. She appreciated my hard work and treated me as an equal. I learned that I could do anything if I tried hard enough. I learned to depend on myself.
My mother always supported my decisions，but also shared her concerns. When I decided to retire early from teaching to teach and write about etiquette (礼仪)，she announced her concerns. She worried that there wasn’t a market for it—my mother，always the business person. Nevertheless, by the end of our conversation she encouraged me with “With your training and love of people，you are perfect for this.”
By example, my mother taught me how to show respect for others. She gave me my listening skills, my empathy and my manners. Through her，I learned to be strong, to follow my heart and to work hard. I never give up. If not for this，I wouldn’t be a successful business owner and good friend to all.
25．The author carefully listened to her mother’s stories because ________．
A．the stories were very interesting
B．she liked listening to stories very much
C．the stories were about something special
D．she tried to show her respect for her mother
【答案】D

26．What was the author’s mother worried about according to Paragraph 3?
A．The author would lose her job.
B．The author would live a poor life.
C．The author’s books would be hard to sell.
D．The author wouldn’t be good at business.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句和第三句可知，作者决定提前退休去教礼仪并写这方面的书，而她母亲担心作者的书没有市场，卖不出去。
27．What can we learn from the text?
A．The author had a brother and a sister.
B．The author’s mother was very strict with her.
C．The author became a well－known writer at last.
D．The author began to manage the store by age eight.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，母亲把作者当作大人一样对待，对作者很严格，故B项正确。A项在文中没有信息依据；根据文章最后一句可知，作者最后成为成功的商人，而不是畅销书作家，故C项错误；根据第二段第三句可知，作者8岁开始在街角的商店工作，12岁时才开始经营它，故D项错误。
28．Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?
A．Brave and determined. B．Smart and honest.
C．Proud but patient. D．Strong but careless.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者从母亲身上学到了尊重他人、勇敢和坚定等优秀品质。由此可推知，作者的母亲是一个勇敢而又意志坚定的人。

There is an English saying: “Laughter is best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的) effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.
29. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.
B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D. laughter is best medicine
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是第一段中的There is an English saying: “Laughter is best medicine.”可知，本文介绍的是微笑是最好的良药，故选D。
30. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to ________.
A. test B. stop C. reduce D. increase
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which...可知，微笑能够减轻痛苦的原因是它能够帮助________大脑中产生一种减轻压力和痛苦的化学物质，由此可知画线词词义为“减轻、减少”，故选C。
31. Doctors hold laughter clinics ________.
A. to give better condition to their patients
B. in order to improve patients’ health
C. to make patients smile all the time
D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.可知，一些医生开微笑诊所是为了通过鼓励人们微笑从而改善他们的健康，故选B。
D
Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you’re a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.
Time management. There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you’ll make full use of each day.
Good study habits. If you’ve got them, it’s great. If not, there’s still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following：
·Always be prepared for class，and attend classes regularly. No cutting!
·Finish homework in a timely manner.
·Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.
·Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don’t have homework or a test the next day!
Good note -taking. You can’t possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important materials. Note -taking should be in a way that’s the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note -taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes!
Review of daily notes. Don’t wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate’s notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal：mastery of the subject or skill.
32．If you want to make good use of each day, you should ________．
A．achieve success in school and in life
B．deal with your free time in a wise way
C．develop good study habits earlier
D．set aside some quiet time for study
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后一句“Manage your free time wisely and you’ll make full use of each day.”可知答案选B。
33．If you want to form good study habits, you should ________．
A．get them as early as you can
B．study for tests the night before
C．set down all the teacher says
D．go over your notes every day
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文中Good study habits.中的“Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.”可知答案选D。
34．What is the main advantage of reviewing daily notes?
A．To help write down the important materials.
B．To solve the problem with note -taking timely.
C．To help you master the subject greatly.
D．To add any missing pieces to your notes.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal：mastery of the subject or skill.”可知选C。
35．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Tips for Students to Achieve Success
B．Wise Time Use and Management
C．The Importance of Good Study Habits
D．Good Note -taking and Review of Daily Notes
【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。根据文章开头的“Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you’re a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.”可知答案选A。
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。
Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 36 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic fun_ction of money
Begin explaining the basic fun_ction of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy，give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（收银员). 37 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic fun_ction of money，you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 38 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，“You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or，if the request is for many different things，say，“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3. 39
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands(品牌) of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic（一般的），for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 40 If he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase(购买) with the money saved. Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B. Wise decisions
C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.
E. The value of money
F. Permit the child to choose between them.
G. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
36．【答案】C
【解析】考查上下文的理解和推理分析能力。根据下一句when your child shows an interest可知G项（教给孩子的钱的问题的最佳时间是当他表现出兴趣时。）符合语境。故选C.
37．【答案】A
【解析】考查上下文的理解和推理分析能力。根据上一行If he wants to have a toy，give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（如果他想要一个玩具，就把钱交给他，让他把钱交给收银员。）可知A项（在离开玩具商店后，跟孩子谈论一下钱是如何买到东西的。）符合语境。故选 A。
38．【答案】D
【解析】考查上下文的理解和推理分析能力。根据下一行If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain（如果你必须拒绝孩子的花钱要求，请解释）可知D（告诉孩子为什么能或不能买某些东西。）符合语境。
39．【答案】B
【解析】考查上下文的理解和推理分析能力。本段内容是关于如何在不同的产品中做出明智的选择，所以B项（ 明智的选择）符合语境。 故选B项。
40．【答案】F
【解析】考查上下文的理解和推理分析能力。根据后句的If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase(购买) with the money saved.可知这里是让孩子自己选择。可知F项（允许孩子在它们之间进行选择。）符合语境，故选F项。

参考范文
Dear Jim，
I’m more than glad to know that you are going to be an exchange student in our high school for a whole year!
Next, I’d like to introduce some differences between Chinese and American teaching and learning.
First, we have more students in each class than you do. In China, the number of students in each class is usually more than 50.
Second, we have different teaching styles. The teachers usually give lectures in the class and the students will set down what the teachers have said.
Third, the time when we stay at school is much longer than yours. We may spend at least 8 hours at school each day.
That’s all I’d like to share. I can’t wait to meet you!
Yours,
Li Hua

From my earliest memories, I felt as if my mother was preparing me for something special. When entering a room，her entire focus was on me. I felt as if I was the center of her universe—a great feeling. Offering her the same respect，I intently listened to her stories without interrupting；I tried to return that feeling of being truly loved.
Even though there was always deep affection flowing between us，she wasn’t a softy. She worked hard and expected her children to do the same. I began working in our little corner grocery store by age eight and managed it by the age of twelve. She appreciated my hard work and treated me as an equal. I learned that I could do anything if I tried hard enough. I learned to depend on myself.
My mother always supported my decisions，but also shared her concerns. When I decided to retire early from teaching to teach and write about etiquette (礼仪)，she announced her concerns. She worried that there wasn’t a market for it—my mother，always the business person. Nevertheless, by the end of our conversation she encouraged me with “With your training and love of people，you are perfect for this.”
By example, my mother taught me how to show respect for others. She gave me my listening skills, my empathy and my manners. Through her，I learned to be strong, to follow my heart and to work hard. I never give up. If not for this，I wouldn’t be a successful business owner and good friend to all.

There is an English saying: “Laughter is best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的) effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.
29. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.
B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D. laughter is best medicine
30. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to ________.
A. test B. stop C. reduce D. increase
31. Doctors hold laughter clinics ________.
A. to give better condition to their patients
B. in order to improve patients’ health
C. to make patients smile all the time
D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you’re a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.
Time management. There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you’ll make full use of each day.
Good study habits. If you’ve got them, it’s great. If not, there’s still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following：
·Always be prepared for class，and attend classes regularly. No cutting!
·Finish homework in a timely manner.
·Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.
·Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don’t have homework or a test the next day!
Good note -taking. You can’t possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important materials. Note -taking should be in a way that’s the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note -taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes!
Review of daily notes. Don’t wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate’s notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal：mastery of the subject or skill.
32．If you want to make good use of each day, you should ________．
A．achieve success in school and in life
B．deal with your free time in a wise way
C．develop good study habits earlier

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 36 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic fun_ction of money
Begin explaining the basic fun_ction of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.

2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 38 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，“You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or，if the request is for many different things，say，“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3. 39
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands(品牌) of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic（一般的），for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 40 If he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase(购买) with the money saved. Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B. Wise decisions
C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.
