Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Have
you
thought
about
what
you
want
people
to
say
about
you
after
you're
gone?
Can
you
hear
the
voice
saying,
“He
was
a
great
man.”
or
“She
really
will
be
missed.”
What
else
do
they
say?
One
of
the
phenomena
of
life
is
to
engage
in
a
work
that
will
last
long
after
death.
Isn't
that
a
lot
like
investing
all
your
money
so
that
future
generations
can
get
interest
on
it?
Perhaps,
yet
if
you
look
deep
in
your
own
heart,
you'll
find
something
drives
you
to
make
this
kind
of
contribution—something
drives
every
human
being
to
find
a
purpose
that
lives
on
after
death.
Do
you
hope
to
memorialize
your
name?
Have
a
name
that
is
whispered
with
reverent
awe?
Do
you
hope
to
have
your
face
carved
upon
50
feet
of
granite
rock(花岗岩)?
Is
the
answer
really
that
simple?
Is
the
purpose
of
lifetime
contribution
an
ego?driven
desire
for
a
mortal(凡人的)
being
to
have
an
immortal
name
or
is
it
something
more?
A
child
alive
today
will
die
tomorrow.
A
baby
that
has
the
potential
to
be
the
next
Einstein
will
die
from
complications
at
birth.
The_circumstances_of_life_are_not_set_in_stone.
We
are
not
all
meant
to
live
life
through
to
old
age.
We've
grown
to
perceive
life
as
a
full
cycle
with
a
certain
number
of
years
in
between.
If
all
of
those
years
aren't
lived
out,
it's
a
tragedy.
A
tragedy
comes
about
because
a
human's
potential
has
never
been
realized.
A
tragedy
comes
about
because
a
spark
was
snuffed
out
before
it
ever
became
a
flame.
By
virtue
of
inhabiting
a
body
we
accept
these
risks.
We
expose
our
mortal
flesh
to
the
laws
of
the
physical
environment
around
us.
The
trade?off
isn't
so
bad
when
you
think
about
it.
The
problem
comes
when
we
construct
mortal
fantasies
of
what
life
should
be
like.
When
life
doesn't
conform
to
our
fantasy
we
grow
upset,
frustrated,
or
depressed.
We
are
alive;
let
us
live.
We
have
the
ability
to
experience;
let
us
experience.
We
have
the
ability
to
learn;
let
us
learn.
The
meaning
of
life
can
be
grasped
in
a
moment.
A
moment
so
brief
that
it
often
evades
our
perception.
What
meaning
stands
behind
the
dramatic
unfolding
of
life?
What
single
truth
can
we
grasp
and
hang
onto
for
dear
life
when
all
other
truths
around
us
seem
to
fade
with
time?
These
moments
are
strung
together
in
a
series
we
call
events.
These
events
are
strung
together
in
a
series
we
call
life.
When
we
seize
the
moment
and
bend
it
to
our
will,
a
will
driven
by
the
spirit
deep
inside
us,
then
we
have
discovered
the
meaning
of
life,
a
meaning
for
us
that
shall
go
on
long
after
we
depart
this
Earth.
1．Why
are
people
devoted
to
a
career
lasting
long
even
after
their
death?
A．Because
they
want
to
achieve
more.
B．Because
they
want
to
benefit
their
generations.
C．Because
they
want
to
find
the
meaning
of
their
life.
D．Because
they
want
to
make
others
satisfied
with
them.
2．The
author
thinks
the
risks
in
our
life
are
________.
A．frustrating
B．worthwhile
C．dangerous
D．challenging
3．What
can
we
learn
about
wills
according
to
the
last
paragraph?
A．Events
drive
us
to
explore
our
wills.
B．Events
are
made
up
of
wills
of
our
life.
C．Moments
are
realized
by
spirit
and
wills.
D．We
should
live
our
lives
according
to
our
will.
4．What
does
the
author
mainly
want
to
convey
in
the
passage?
A．People
tend
to
live
longer
at
the
present.
B．The
meaning
of
life
exists
in
moments.
C．Everyone
should
participate
in
events.
D．We
should
be
remembered
after
death.
答案与解析
1．C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“yet
if
you
look
deep
in
your
own
heart;
you'll
find
something
drives
you
to
make
this
kind
of
contribution—something
drives
every
human
being
to
find
a
purpose
that
lives
on
after
death.”可以看出，从事一生的事业的目的并非让子孙后代获益，而是找到人生的意义。
2．B 观点态度题。根据第五段中的“The
trade?off
isn't
so
bad
when
you
think
about
it.”可知，作者认为生活中的危险都是值得的。
3．D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“When
we
seize
the
moment
and
bend
it
to
our
will...”可知，我们应把握生命的每一刻。根据自己的意志去生活，去找到人生的意义。
4．B 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段的内容可知，作者认为人们从事一生的事业的目的在于寻找人生的意义，这是永存的意义。而生活充满了变化，我们应活在当下，听从内心的意志去生活，人生的意义就在于每个瞬间。
B
Cleverness
is
a
gift
while
kindness
is
a
choice.
Gifts
are
easy—they're
given
after
all.
Choice
can
be
hard.
I
got
the
idea
to
start
Amazon
16
years
ago.
I
came
across
the
fact
that
the
Internet
usage
was
growing
at
2,300
percent
per
year.
I'd
never
seen
or
heard
of
anything
that
grew
that
fast,
and
the
idea
of
building
an
online
bookstore
with
millions
of
titles
was
very
exciting
to
me.
I
had
just
turned
30
years
old,
and
I'd
been
married
for
a
year.
I
told
my
wife
MacKenzie
that
I
wanted
to
quit
my
job
and
go
to
do
this
crazy
thing
that
probably
wouldn't
work
since
most
start?ups
don't
and
I
wasn't
sure
what
to
expect.
MacKenzie
told
me
I
should
go
for
it.
As
a
young
boy,
I'd
been
a
garage
inventor.
I'd
always
wanted
to
be
an
inventor,
and
she
wanted
me
to
follow
my
passion.
I
was
working
at
a
financial
firm
in
New
York
City
with
a
bunch
of
very
smart
people,
and
I
had
a
brilliant
boss
that
I
admired
very
much.
I
went
to
my
boss
and
told
him
I
wanted
to
start
a
company
selling
books
on
the
Internet.
He
took
me
on
a
long
walk
in
Central
Park,
listened
carefully
to
me,
and
finally
said,
“That
sounds
like
a
really
good
idea,
but
it
would
be
an
even
better
idea
for
someone
who
didn't
already
have
a
good
job.”
That
logic
made
some
sense
to
me,
and
he
convinced
me
to
think
about
it
for
48
hours
before
making
a
final
decision.
Seen
in
that
light,
it
really
was
a
difficult
choice,
but
ultimately,
I
decided
I
had
to
give
it
a
shot.
I
didn't
think
I'd
regret
trying
and
failing.
And_I_suspected_I_would_always_be
haunted_by_the_decision__not_to_try_at_all.
After
much
consideration,
I
took
the
less
safe
path
to
follow
my
passion,
and
I'm
proud
of
that
choice.
For
all
of
us,
in
the
end,
we
are
our
choices.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
答案与解析
1．closer 考查比较级。句意为：中国最著名的墙可能是用来抵御人而建造的，但一种新的墙正把人们的距离拉得更近。根据句意及空前的修饰语a
lot可知，此处应用比较级。故填closer。
2．kindness 考查词性转换。句意为：这堵“爱心墙”是当地慈善机构创益工场创造的，邀请路人留下他们闲置的温暖的衣服，并鼓励那些需要的人们拿走。设空处前为介词of，其后应用名词。故填kindness。
3．invites 考查动词的时态。句意见上一题解析。设空处和后面的encourages为并列谓语，主语为This“wall
of
kindness”，故此处应用第三人称单数形式，故填invites。
4．who 考查定语从句。句意见第2题解析。设空处引导定语从句，指代先行词those，指人，且在从句中作主语，故用who引导。
5．and 考查连词。取下来(take
down)和穿上(put
on)之间是并列关系，故用and连接。
6．Inspired 考查非谓语动词。句意为：受伊朗的一个相似计划的启发，她把这个在中国付诸实施，而此时这个国家正在经历它数十年来最冷的冬季。句中已有谓语动词put，因此设空处用非谓语动词；inspire和其逻辑主语she之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词表被动。且空后的by引出了动作的发出者。故填Inspired。
7．its 考查代词。句意见上一题解析。设空处在句中作定语修饰winter，表示“这个国家的”，所以用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
8．is
touched 考查动词的时态和语态。句意为：她被人们的慷慨所感动。根据设空后的by可知应用被动语态；结合上下文的时态，用一般现在时。故填is
touched。
9．after 句意为：一些衣服几乎都是新的，我在整理完后甚至都不用洗手。空后的it指的是上文提到的clothing，根据句意，设空处表示“在……之后”。故填after。
10．cities 考查名词单复数。设空前有several“几个”修饰，所以应用名词的复数形式。故填cities。
Ⅴ.应用文写作
假如你是李华，你本来和好友Tom约好今天一起吃晚饭，但你因为忙而意外爽约了。现请你根据下面的内容要点，用英文给Tom写一封电子邮件表示歉意，内容包括：

Dear
Tom，
I'm
awfully
sorry
about
forgetting
our
dinner
date.
For
the
whole
day,
I,
together
with
several
other
students
in
charge,
was
fully
engaged
in
preparing
for
the
Art
Festival
to
be
held
next
week.
We
discussed
the
theme
for
the
festival,
checked
all
the

adjusted
some
programs
and
later
interviewed
some
20
volunteers.
So
busy
was
I
at

that
the

How

Again,
I
apologize
for
missing
the
dinner

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Have
you
thought
about
what
you
want
people
to
say
about
you
after
you're
gone?
Can
you
hear
the
voice
saying,
“He
was
a
great
man.”
or
“She
really
will
be
missed.”
What
else
do
they
say?
One
of
the
phenomena
of
life
is
to
engage
in
a
work
that
will
last
long
after
death.
Isn't
that
a
lot
like
investing
all
your
money
so
that
future
generations
can
get
interest
on
it?
Perhaps,
yet
if
you
look
deep
in
your
own
heart,
you'll
find
something
drives
you
to
make
this
kind
of
contribution—something
drives
every
human
being
to
find
a
purpose
that
lives
on
after
death.
Do
you
hope
to
memorialize
your
name?
Have
a
name
that
is
whispered
with
reverent
awe?
Do
you
hope
to
have
your
face
carved
upon
50
feet
of
granite
rock(花岗岩)?
Is
the
answer
really
that
simple?
Is
the
purpose
of
lifetime
contribution
an
ego?driven
desire
for
a
mortal(凡人的)
being
to
have
an
immortal
name
or
is
it
something
more?
A
child
alive
today
will
die
tomorrow.
A
baby
that
has
the
potential
to
be
the
next
Einstein
will
die
from
complications
at
birth.
The_circumstances_of_life_are_not_set_in_stone.
We
are
not
all
meant
to
live
life
through
to
old
age.
We've
grown
to
perceive
life
as
a
full
cycle
with
a
certain
number
of
years
in
between.
If
all
of
those
years
aren't
lived
out,
it's
a
tragedy.
A
tragedy
comes
about
because
a
human's
potential
has
never
been
realized.
A
tragedy
comes
about
because
a
spark
was
snuffed
out
before
it
ever
became
a
flame.
By
virtue
of
inhabiting
a
body
we
accept
these
risks.
We
expose
our
mortal
flesh
to
the
laws
of
the
physical
environment
around
us.
The
trade?off
isn't
so
bad
when
you
think
about
it.
The
problem
comes
when
we
construct
mortal
fantasies
of
what
life
should
be
like.
When
life
doesn't
conform
to
our
fantasy
we
grow
upset,
frustrated,
or
depressed.
We
are
alive;
let
us
live.
We
have
the
ability
to
experience;
let
us
experience.
We
have
the
ability
to
learn;
let
us
learn.
The
meaning
of
life
can
be
grasped
in
a
moment.
A
moment
so
brief
that
it
often
evades
our
perception.
What
meaning
stands
behind
the
dramatic
unfolding
of
life?
What
single
truth
can
we
grasp
and
hang
onto
for
dear
life
when
all
other
truths
around
us
seem
to
fade
with
time?
These
moments
are
strung
together
in
a
series
we
call
events.
These
events
are
strung
together
in
a
series
we
call
life.
When
we
seize
the
moment
and
bend
it
to
our
will,
a
will
driven
by
the
spirit
deep
inside
us,
then
we
have
discovered
the
meaning
of
life,
a
meaning
for
us
that
shall
go
on
long
after
we
depart
this
Earth.
1．Why

they
want

benefit
their

want
to
convey
in
the
passage?

tend
to
live
longer
at
the
present.

meaning

B
Cleverness
is
a
gift
while
kindness
is
a
choice.
Gifts
are
easy—they're
given
after
all.
Choice
can
be
hard.
I
got
the
idea
to
start
Amazon
16
years
ago.
I
came
across
the
fact
that
the
Internet
usage
was
growing
at
2,300
percent
per
year.
I'd
never
seen
or
heard
of
anything
that
grew
that
fast,
and
the
idea
of
building
an
online
bookstore
with
millions
of
titles
was
very
exciting
to
me.
I
had
just
turned
30
years
old,
and
I'd
been
married
for
a
year.
I
told
my
wife
MacKenzie
that
I
wanted
to
quit
my
job
and
go
to
do
this
crazy
thing
that
probably
wouldn't
work
since
most
start?ups
don't
and
I
wasn't
sure
what
to
expect.
MacKenzie
told
me
I
should
go
for
it.
As
a
young
boy,
I'd
been
a
garage
inventor.
I'd
always
wanted
to
be
an
inventor,
and
she
wanted
me
to
follow
my
passion.
I
was
working
at
a
financial
firm
in
New
York
City
with
a
bunch
of
very
smart
people,
and
I
had
a
brilliant
boss
that
I
admired
very
much.
I
went
to
my
boss
and
told
him
I
wanted
to
start
a
company
selling
books
on
the
Internet.
He
took
me
on
a
long
walk
in
Central
Park,
listened
carefully
to
me,
and
finally
said,
“That
sounds
like
a
really
good
idea,
but
it
would
be
an
even
better
idea
for
someone
who
didn't
already
have
a
good
job.”
That
logic
made
some
sense
to
me,
and
he
convinced
me
to
think
about
it
for
48
hours
before
making
a
final
decision.
Seen
in
that
light,
it
really
was
a
difficult
choice,
but
ultimately,
I
decided
I
had
to
give
it
a
shot.
I
didn't
think
I'd
regret
trying
and
failing.
And_I_suspected_I_would_always_be
haunted_by_the_decision__not_to_try_at_all.
After
much
consideration,
I
took
the
less
safe
path
to
follow
my
passion,
and
I'm
proud
of
that
choice.
For
all
of
us,
in
the
end,
we
are
our
choices.
