II.阅读理解
A
I
grew
up
without
a
father.Well，sort
of，my
parents
divorced
in
the
1960s
when
I
was
a
small
child，and
I
stayed
with
my
mother
in
Los
Angeles.My
father
remarried
and
moved
to
a
small
suburb
of
Atlanta.For
one
month
out
of
the
year
in
the
summer，I
would
fly
back
and
spend
time
with
my
dad，so
I
had
a
father
at
times.
Further，I
had
a
series
of
stepfathers
who
ranged
from
wonderful
guys
to
alcoholics
to
dangerous
individuals.Having
lived
through
such
experiences，I
find
it
amusing
when
people
say
that
children
really
need
a
father
in
the
home.Well，if
he
is
a
good
father
and
a
good
man，then
I
agree
completely.If
he
is
not，then
the
child
might
actually
be
better
off
without
him.We
don’t
just
need
fathers—we
need
good
fathers.
I
feel
it
fair
to
say
I
ended
up
a
very
successful
adult，at
least
that’s
what
people
tell
me.So
how
did
I
do
it?
I
think
it
started
with
me
having
a
bit
of
a
chip
on
my
shoulder.Normally
this
is
not
a
good
thing，but
in
my
case
it
was
rocket
fuel
for
achievement.Not
having
a
father
in
my
life
gave
me
something
to
prove，and
it
motivated
me
in
an
“I’ll
show
you”
way.
I
also
tried
very
hard，even
as
a
little
boy
to
be
self-sufficient.And
that
means
I
did
not
rely
upon
my
parents
except
to
the
extent
necessary.This
kind
of
independence
I
believe
is
highly
missed
in
this
age
of
highly
managed
children
with
“helicopter”
parents
hovering(盘旋)
above
them
constantly.
I
also
think
I
never
wanted
not
having
a
father
in
my
life
to
be
an
excuse
for
myself.We
make
and
allow
excuses
constantly
these
days，but
I
just
never
felt
that
feeling
sorry
for
myself
was
going
to
get
me
anywhere，I
think
if
children
can
adopt
such
mindsets
early
in
their
lives
it
can
be
helpful.

father
is
a
bad
one
B．nobody
needs

father
C．children

a
good
father
D．children
really
need
a
father
2．How
did
the
author
end
up
a
very
successful
adult?
A．He
was
very
intelligent.
B．He
made
excuse
for
himself.
C．He
was
motivated
by
a
father.
D．He
was
very
independent
and

is
not，then
the

not
rely
on
my
parents...This

解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的“And

having
a
father
in
my
life
gave
me
something
to
prove，and

B
When
I
was
five
years
old，my
parents
would
have
to
pull
me
home
from
yet
another
painful
English
vacation.I
still
didn’t
want
to
leave.I
wanted
to
be
away
from
home.I
wanted
to
go
somewhere
new
and
exciting.This
became
the
theme
of
the
next
twenty
years.I’d
spend
the
whole
year
counting
down
to
my
next
holiday，and
then
as
soon
as
I
left
I’d
begin
to
dread
having
to
return
home.Year
after
year.
Ten
years
ago，I
decided
to
build
a
life
that
I
didn’t
want
to
escape
from.I
knew
I
wanted
to
travel
in
the
long
term，but
I
didn’t
have
a
lot
of
money
or
savings，and
there
is
no
one
paying
for
my
adventures.For
five
years，I
did
three
jobs
while
studying
full-time
at
university.I
didn’t
eat
out
and
I
didn’t
buy
anything
I
didn’t
need.I
even
moved
in
with
my
parents.I
was
able
to
save
$16,000
over
those
five
years，which
was
enough
to
keep
me
on
the
road
for
a
couple
of
years.
But
what
if
two
years
wouldn’t
be
enough?
Before
leaving，I
began
to
spend
my
time
in
making
plans
that
would
allow
me
to
work
anywhere
that
had
an
Internet
connection.At
the
time，I
was
studying
for
a
master
degree
in
physics.While
studying
I
came
up
with
a
list
of
my
interests
and
skills
and
began
researching
into
a
way
to
do
these
anywhere.If
I
could
make
money
from
it
and
if
I
could
do
it
online，then
it
was
something
worth
going
after.
I
created
a
writing
file
that
would
help
me
to
find
free
writing
jobs.I
researched
English
and
physics
teaching
online，and
built
travel
websites
to
earn
income
through
sales
and
advertising.Most
of
these
failed，but
I
didn’t
give
up.
The
work
I
do
has
changed
over
the
years
and
it’s
still
changing
now.Now，I
pay
my
traveling
through
several
different
things.I’m
the
Student
Travel
Expert
for
，and
a
senior
writer
for
Too
Many
Adapters，a
travel
technology
website.In
addition，I
will
have
my
first
book
published
this
summer.I
also
offer
a
travel
planning
service
to
help
readers
prepare
for
their
travels
abroad.
To
reach
this
point，where
I
can
cover
my
expenses
and
travel
full-time，I
took
many，many
years
of
hard
work.For
me，the
freedom
makes
it
worth
it.With
everything
set
in
place，finally
my
dream
came
true.
5．What
does
the
underlined
word
“dread”
mean
in
Paragraph
1?
A．Fear.
B．Forget.
C．Miss.
D．Consider.
6．The
author
has
taken
the
following
jobs
EXCEPT
.
A．placing
advertisements
online
B．offering
a
travel
planning
service
C．teaching
physics
in
a
university
D．free
writing
on
the
websites
7．Which
of
the
following
best
describes
the
author?
A．Open-minded.
B．Kind-hearted.
C．Cold-blooded.
D．Strong-willed.
8．What
is
the
passage
mainly
about?
A．Why
the
author
desired
freedom.
B．Why
the
author
needed
money.
C．How
the
author
made
his
living.
D．How
the
author
realized
his
dream.
【语篇解读】作者从小喜欢旅游，在人生的不同阶段都为之努力，最终成功地实现了梦想。
5．答案A
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“I
wanted
to
be
away
from
home.I
wanted
to
go
somewhere
new
and
exciting.”可知，作者不想回家，想去新奇刺激的地方，此处指“我”花了整整一年的时间计算下一个假期，当离开的时候，“我”就开始害怕回家了。dread“害怕，恐惧”，与fear同义。故选A。
6．答案C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段和第五段内容可知，A、B、D三项都是作者从事过的工作，C项在文中未提及。故选C。
7．答案D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Most
of
these
failed，but
I
didn’t
give
up.”和作者从事过的各种职业可知，作者为了实现自己的梦想，不怕辛苦付出了很多，由此可知他是个意志坚强的人。故选D。
8．答案D
解析：主旨大意题。通读文章可知，作者从小喜欢旅游，在人生的不同阶段都为之努力付出，并最终成功实现了梦想。所以文章讲述的是作者是怎样实现自己的梦想的。故选D。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了在暑假期间，作者参加了第十六届自然英语竞赛，在比赛中作者名列前十，获得了宝贵的经验。作者也非常感谢朋友的帮助。
1．答案the
解析：考查冠词。文中特指“第十六届自然英语竞赛”，用定冠词，所以填the。
2．答案gained
解析：考查时态。由空前的was
listed可知，此处应用一般过去时，所以填gained。
3．答案to
go
解析：考查非谓语动词。expect
to
do
sth.期望做某事，所以填to
go。
4．答案But
解析：考查连词。由空前的“I
had
never
thought”和空后的“I
set
out
for”可知，前后句为转折关系，所以填But。
5．答案teammates
解析：考查名词的用法。“one
of＋可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，所以填teammates。
6．答案powerful
解析：考查词性转换。此处与new一起作were的表语，故用形容词形式。
7．答案who
解析：考查非限制性定语从句。此处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是my
coach，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以填who。
8．答案clearly
解析：考查词性转换。该空修饰动词express，用副词，所以填clearly。
9．答案to
解析：考查固定短语。句意为：多亏了这次比赛和朋友的帮助，我现在在舞台上感到更加放松，说话也更加自信。thanks
to幸亏。
10．答案talking
解析：考查非谓语动词。此处是状语从句的省略。talk的逻辑主语是I，它们之间是主动关系，故用现在分词talking。

概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In
many
societies，there
is
often
greater
acceptance
of
light
skin
than
dark
skin.Light
skin
may
be
seen
as
a
mark
of
beauty，intelligence
and
success.These
beliefs
can
lead
to
social
pressure
even
within
the
same
racial
or
ethnic
group，if
some
members
are
darker
skinned
than
others.
The
result
is
that
skin
lightening
has
become
a
common
activity
across
Africa，Asia
and
other
areas
of
the
world.More
and
more
people
with
dark
skin
are
using
skin-lightening
products，even
if
they
may
face
health
risks.
They
believe
that
having
whiter
skin
will
improve
their
lives.Many
people
think
they
will
have
a
better
chance
of
getting
a
job
or
marrying
into
a
better
family.Or
they
want
to
look
like
what
their
society
generally
considers
beautiful.
Some
beauty
care
products
and
soaps
contain
chemicals
that
make
skin
lighter.This
process
is
also
called
bleaching(漂白)．But
some
of
the
chemicals
are
extremely
dangerous.One
of
the
chemicals
has
been
linked
to
kidney(肾)
damage
and
some
kinds
of
cancer.It
also
causes
low
birth
weight
in
babies
when
mothers
use
it
during
pregnancy(怀孕)．
At
first，bleaching
products
make
the
skin
color
lighter.But
after
long-term
use
they
can
cause
problems.They
can
even
make
some
skin
darker.The
chemicals
in
the
products
block
and
break
down
the
natural
process
that
gives
color
to
skin.The
skin
loses
its
natural
barrier
to
protect
against
sunlight.Then
the
skin
can
become
thick
and
discolored.Usually
the
person
will
use
more
of
the
product
in
an
effort
to
correct
the
problem，but
this
only
makes
it
worse.
Doctor
Ly，who
works
in
a
hospital，says
the
chemicals
are
now
more
dangerous
because
they
are
stronger.Some
cases
have
resulted
in
blackened
fingernails，infections
and
permanent
skin
damage.And
these
are
not
the
only
risks.Experts
say
some
people
who
change
their
skin
color
suffer
emotional
damage.They
feel
regret
and
sadness.They
feel
that
instead
of
risking
their
health，they
should
have
learned
to
love
and
accept
their
skin
color
as
it
was.
【经典范文】
Many
people
prefer
light
skin
to
dark
skin
believing
that
it
helps
improve
their
lives
and
caters
to
the
social
standard
of
beauty.(要点1)
Therefore，it
is
common
to
try
skin-lightening
products.(要点2)
However，bleaching
products
containing
chemicals
have
long-lasting
harmful
effects
on
physical
condition
and
emotions.(要点3)What’s
worse，it
may
fail
to
achieve
expected
results.(要点4)Thus，people
who
tried
the
products
realize
they
should
not
put
their
health
at
risk
but
accept
their
natural
colors．(要点5)Unit

II.阅读理解
A
I
grew
up
without
a
father.Well，sort
of，my
parents
divorced
in
the
1960s
when
I
was
a
small
child，and
I
stayed
with
my
mother
in
Los
Angeles.My
father
remarried
and
moved
to
a
small
suburb
of
Atlanta.For
one
month
out
of
the
year
in
the
summer，I
would
fly
back
and
spend
time
with
my
dad，so
I
had
a
father
at
times.
Further，I
had
a
series
of
stepfathers
who
ranged
from
wonderful
guys
to
alcoholics
to
dangerous
individuals.Having
lived
through
such
experiences，I
find
it
amusing
when
people
say
that
children
really
need
a
father
in
the
home.Well，if
he
is
a
good
father
and
a
good
man，then
I
agree
completely.If
he
is
not，then
the
child
might
actually
be
better
off
without
him.We
don’t
just
need
fathers—we
need
good
fathers.
I
feel
it
fair
to
say
I
ended
up
a
very
successful
adult，at
least
that’s
what
people
tell
me.So
how
did
I
do
it?
I
think
it
started
with
me
having
a
bit
of
a
chip
on
my
shoulder.Normally
this
is
not
a
good
thing，but
in
my
case
it
was
rocket
fuel
for
achievement.Not
having
a
father
in
my
life
gave
me
something
to
prove，and
it
motivated
me
in
an
“I’ll
show
you”
way.
I
also
tried
very
hard，even
as
a
little
boy
to
be
self-sufficient.And
that
means
I
did
not
rely
upon
my
parents
except
to
the
extent
necessary.This
kind
of
independence
I
believe
is
highly
missed
in
this
age
of
highly
managed
children
with
“helicopter”
parents
hovering(盘旋)
above
them
constantly.
I
also
think
I
never
wanted
not
having
a
father
in
my
life
to
be
an
excuse
for
myself.We
make
and
allow
excuses
constantly
these
days，but
I
just
never
felt
that
feeling
sorry
for
myself
was
going
to
get
me
anywhere，I
think
if
children
can
adopt
such
mindsets
early
in
their
lives
it
can
be
helpful.

B
When
I
was
five
years
old，my
parents
would
have
to
pull
me
home
from
yet
another
painful
English
vacation.I
still
didn’t
want
to
leave.I
wanted
to
be
away
from
home.I
wanted
to
go
somewhere
new
and
exciting.This
became
the
theme
of
the
next
twenty
years.I’d
spend
the
whole
year
counting
down
to
my
next
holiday，and
then
as
soon
as
I
left
I’d
begin
to
dread
having
to
return
home.Year
after
year.
Ten
years
ago，I
decided
to
build
a
life
that
I
didn’t
want
to
escape
from.I
knew
I
wanted
to
travel
in
the
long
term，but
I
didn’t
have
a
lot
of
money
or
savings，and
there
is
no
one
paying
for
my
adventures.For
five
years，I
did
three
jobs
while
studying
full-time
at
university.I
didn’t
eat
out
and
I
didn’t
buy
anything
I
didn’t
need.I
even
moved
in
with
my
parents.I
was
able
to
save
$16,000
over
those
five
years，which
was
enough
to
keep
me
on
the
road
for
a
couple
of
years.
But
what
if
two
years
wouldn’t
be
enough?
Before
leaving，I
began
to
spend
my
time
in
making
plans
that
would
allow
me
to
work
anywhere
that
had
an
Internet
connection.At
the
time，I
was
studying
for
a
master
degree
in
physics.While
studying
I
came
up
with
a
list
of
my
interests
and
skills
and
began
researching
into
a
way
to
do
these
anywhere.If
I
could
make
money
from
it
and
if
I
could
do
it
online，then
it
was
something
worth
going
after.
I
created
a
writing
file
that
would
help
me
to
find
free
writing
jobs.I
researched
English
and
physics
teaching
online，and
built
travel
websites
to
earn
income
through
sales
and
advertising.Most
of
these
failed，but
I
didn’t
give
up.
The
work
I
do
has
changed
over
the
years
and
it’s
still
changing
now.Now，I
pay
my
traveling
through
several
different
things.I’m
the
Student
Travel
Expert
for
，and
a
senior
writer
for
Too
Many
Adapters，a
travel
technology
website.In
addition，I
will
have
my
first
book
published
this
summer.I
also
offer
a
travel
planning
service
to
help
readers
prepare
for
their
travels
abroad.
To
reach
this
point，where
I
can
cover
my
expenses
and
travel
full-time，I
took
many，many
years
of
hard
work.For
me，the
freedom
makes
it
worth
it.With
everything
set
in
place，finally
my
dream
came
true.
5．What

the

word
“dread”

in
Paragraph

D．Consider.

概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In
many
societies，there
is
often
greater
acceptance
of
light
skin
than
dark
skin.Light
skin
may
be
seen
as
a
mark
of
beauty，intelligence
and
success.These
beliefs
can
lead
to
social
pressure
even
within
the
same
racial
or
ethnic
group，if
some
members
are
darker
skinned
than
others.
The
result
is
that
skin
lightening
has
become
a
common
activity
across
Africa，Asia
and
other
areas
of
the
world.More
and
more
people
with
dark
skin
are
using
skin-lightening
products，even
if
they
may
face
health
risks.
They
believe
that
having
whiter
skin
will
improve
their
lives.Many
people
think
they
will
have
a
better
chance
of
getting
a
job
or
marrying
into
a
better
family.Or
they
want
to
look
like
what
their
society
generally
considers
beautiful.
Some
beauty
care
products
and
soaps
contain
chemicals
that
make
skin
lighter.This
process
is
also
called
bleaching(漂白)．But
some
of
the
chemicals
are
extremely
dangerous.One
of
the
chemicals
has
been
linked
to
kidney(肾)
damage
and
some
kinds
of
cancer.It
also
causes
low
birth
weight
in
babies
when
mothers
use
it
during
pregnancy(怀孕)．
At
first，bleaching
products
make
the
skin
color
lighter.But
after
long-term
use
they
can
cause
problems.They
can
even
make
some
skin
darker.The
chemicals
in
the
products
block
and
break
down
the
natural
process
that
gives
color
to
skin.The
skin
loses
its
natural
barrier
to
protect
against
sunlight.Then
the
skin
can
become
thick
and
discolored.Usually
the
person
will
use
more
of
the
product
in
an
effort
to
correct
the
problem，but
this
only
makes
it
worse.
Doctor
Ly，who
works
in
a
hospital，says
the
chemicals
are
now
more
dangerous
because
they
are
stronger.Some
cases
have
resulted
in
blackened
fingernails，infections
and
permanent
skin
damage.And
these
are
not
the
only
risks.Experts
say
some
people
who
change
their
skin
color
suffer
emotional
damage.They
feel
regret
and
sadness.They
feel
that
instead
of
risking
their
health，they
should
have
learned
to
love
and
accept
their
skin
color
as
it
was.
