Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The
other
day，my
sister
and
I
were
sitting
in
a
restaurant，trying
to
have
a
conversation，but
her
children，four?year?old
Willow
and
seven?year?old
Luca，would
not
stop
fighting.The
arguments
—
over
a
fork，or
who
had
more
water
in
a
glass
—
never
stopped.
Then
my
sister
reached
into
her
handbag，produced
two
shiny
iPads(苹果平板电脑)，and
handed
one
to
each
child.Suddenly，the
two
were
quiet.They
sat
playing
games
and
watching
videos，and
we
continued
with
our
conversation.
After
our
meal，as
my
sister
stuffed
the
iPads
back
into
her
bag，she
said，“I
don't
want
to
give
them
the
iPads
at
the
dinner
table，but
if
they
keep
them
occupied
for
an
hour
so
we
can
eat
in
peace，I
often
just
hand
them
over.I'm
afraid
it's
bad
for
them.I
do
worry
that
it
makes
them
think
it's
OK
to
use
electronics
at
the
dinner
table
in
the
future.”
Dr.Gary
Small，director
of
the
Longevity
Center
at
the
University
of
California，Los
Angeles
says
that
the
brain
is
highly
sensitive
to
stimuli(刺激物)，like
iPads
and
smartphone
screens，and
if
people
spend
too
much
time
on
one
technology，and
less
time
interacting(互动)with
people
like
parents
at
the
dinner
table，that
could
prevent
the
development
of
certain
communication
skills.
“Conversations
with
each
other
are
the
way
children
learn
to
have
conversations
with
themselves，and
learn
how
to
be
alone，”
said
Sherry
Turkle，a
professor
of
science，technology
and
society
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology.She
fears
that
children
who
do
not
learn
real
interactions，which
often
have
imperfections，will
come
to
know
a
world
where
perfect，shiny
screens
give
them
a
false
sense
of
intimacy(亲密)without
risk.However，they
need
to
be
able
to
gather
themselves
and
know
who
they
are.So
someday
they
can
form
a
relationship
with
another
person
without
a
panic
of
being
alone.“If
you
don't
teach
your
children
to
be
alone，they'll
only
know
how
to
be
lonely，”
she
said.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。用iPad让孩子们安静下来似乎很有效，但是这样做对吗？
1．What
did
Willow
and
Luca
fight
about?
A．iPads.
B．Little
things.
C．Delicious
food.
D．Interesting
things.
B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The
arguments
—
over
a
fork，or
who
had
more
water
in
a
glass
—
never
stopped.”可以看出，Willow和Luca为一些小事争吵。]
2．How
did
the
author's
sister
feel
about
offering
children
iPads?
A．She
was
critical
of
it.
B．She
felt
it
was
worth
a
try.
C．She
was
uncertain
about
it.
D．She
felt
surprised
at
its
effect.
C [推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，虽然作者的姐姐会用iPad让孩子们安静下来，但是她又担心这样做不好，因此说她对这种做法心存疑虑。]
3．According
to
Dr.Gary
Small，what
should
parents
do?
A．Provide
their
children
with
various
technologies.
B．Teach
their
children
communication
skills.
C．Talk
to
their
children
at
the
dinner
table.
D．Limit
their
children's
screen
time.
D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“if
people
spend
too
much
time
on
one
technology...prevent
the
development
of
certain
communication
skills”可知，长时间使用电子设备有碍于孩子们一些沟通技能的发展，因此家长应该限制孩子使用这些设备的时间。]
4．What
is
Sherry
Turkle
worried?
A．Children
are
afraid
of
taking
risks.
B．Children
try
to
escape
from
the
real
world.
C．Children
can't
live
without
electronic
devices.
D．Children
can't
deal
with
companionless
situations.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She
fears
that
children...will
come
to
know
a
world
where
perfect，shiny
screens
give
them
a
false
sense
of
intimacy(亲密)
without
risk.”可知，Sherry
Turkle担心孩子们习惯了电子设备的陪伴，认为真正的人际交往也是如此，随时随地有人陪伴，因此他们会受不了孤单。]
B
More
than
2，500
tiny
glass
jars
—
each
containing
brightly
colored
powders
—
line
the
walls
of
a
museum
at
Harvard
University
in
Cambridge，Massachusetts.The
pigment(颜料)samples
make
up
the
Forbes
Pigment
Collection.Art
experts
rely
on
the
collection
for
an
important
scientific
purpose
—
the
colors
act
as
standards
to
help
them
conserve
and
authenticate
artists'
paintings.
About
a
century
ago，Edward
Forbes，an
art
historian
and
art
museum
director
at
Harvard，noticed
that
the
paint
on
some
14th?century
paintings
in
his
museum's
collection
was
deteriorating．To
figure
out
how
to
save
the
paintings，he
realized
he
would
have
to
learn
more
about
the
materials
used
to
make
their
paint.
Today，people
can
buy
paint
in
every
color
of
the
rainbow.But
variety
in
paint
colors
—
and
the
ability
to
purchase
those
paints
at
a
store
—
wasn't
always
possible.For
centuries，artists
collected
and
crushed(碾碎)
everything
from
shells
to
rare
stones
to
create
the
pigments
that
colored
their
artworks.They
also
used
metal
oxides(氧化物)．
From
1910
to
1944，Forbes
traveled
the
globe
collecting
powdered
pigments.The
samples
helped
art
conservators
understand
how
paint
behaves
on
a
chemical
level.Paint
might
react
to
changes
in
light，temperature，or
humidity，depending
on
its
pigments'
compositions.This
can
affect
the
colors
of
a
painting
over
time
or
even
cause
paint
to
come
off
the
painted
surface.
Today，Narayan
Khandekar，a
senior
conservation
scientist
at
the
Harvard
Art
Museums，is
building
on
Forbes's
work
by
adding
newer，chemically
made
pigments
to
the
collection.The
collection
also
plays
an
important
role
in
helping
to
stop
counterfeiters(伪造者)．In
2007，experts
compared
pigments
from
the
collection
with
those
from
a
painting
thought
to
belong
to
abstract
artist
Jackson
Pollock.Chemical
analysis
showed
that
a
red
pigment
in
the
painting
was
actually
made
20
years
after
the
artist's
death，proving
that
the
artwork
was
a
fake.

5．Which
of
the
following
can
replace
the
underlined
word
“deteriorating”
in
Paragraph
2?
A．Dropping
off.
B．Breaking
down.
C．Cleared
away.
D．Gathered
together.
B [词义猜测题。根据画线词后的句子“To
figure
out
how
to
save
the
paintings”可推知，一些14世纪的绘画被损坏了，故此处的deteriorating可以用breaking
down(损坏)代替。]
6．What
can
be
inferred
about
Edward
Forbes?
A．He
was
good
at
chemistry.
B．He
collected
many
pigments.
C．He
created
pigments
by
himself.
D．He
repaired
a
lot
of
old
paintings.
B [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Forbes
traveled
the
globe
collecting
powdered
pigments”以及博物馆藏品的命名“Forbes
Pigment
Collection”可推知Forbes从全球各地收集了许多颜料。]
7．What
may
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．Colorful
collection
B．Looking
for
pigments
C．Every
pigment
has
its
own
story
D．Edward
Forbes
and
his
collection
A [标题归纳题。文章介绍了哈佛大学色素博物馆的来历及其作用。“Colorful
collection”形象准确地概括了全文的主要内容，故A项为文章最佳标题。]
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I
was
28
years
old，the
age
when
most
young
people
have
their
eyes
firmly
fixed
on
the
promise
of
success
but
I
was
a
failure.Six
years
earlier，fresh
from
college，I
had
joined
a
dramatic
producing
company，and
had
been
going
into
small
towns
and
rural
communities
producing
country?style
musical
comedies.But，in
the
summer
of
1940，the
country
was
in
a
depression，radio
had
changed
people's
tastes，and
part?time
shows
weren't
all
that
big
any
more.So，jobless
and
with
nothing
else
in
sight，I
went
back
home.Later
I
got
a
job
as
a
recreation?room
director
in
my
hometown.It
paid
$50
a
month，for
which
I
was
grateful，but
it
sure
was
a
dull
job.
I
felt
so
frustrated
with
my
plan
to
be
a
dramatic
star.Restless
and
dissatisfied
though
I
was，it
was
nice，in
a
way，to
be
back
home.I
tried
to
teach
some
of
my
town's
children
music
and
drama.And
when
I
got
a
chance，I'd
try
my
luck
as
a
performer
myself.I'd
dress
up
as
a
country
girl
and
tell
little
stories
and
jokes
that
I'd
picked
up
during
my
years
living
around
country
folk.I
gave
this
country
girl
a
name
—
Minnie
Pearl.
One
October
afternoon
I
was
in
the
recreation
room，waiting
for
the
children
when
a
banker
friend，Jim
Walker，came
in
and
said，“We're
going
to
have
a
bankers'
meeting
here.I
understand
you've
been
teaching
some
children
dramatics
and
dancing
and
singing.Would
you
let
the
children
entertain
the
bankers？”
I
said，yes.Suddenly，he
turned
and
added，“Oh，by
the
way，the
speaker
from
Chicago
is
flying
here.If
he's
late，would
you
mind
doing
that
Minnie
Pearl
thing？”
I
told
Jim
I'd
do
it.
That
night
the
children
sang
and
danced
to
old?time，popular
songs
when
I
was
backstage.After
we
finished
the
performance,
Jim
came
to
me.“The
speaker's
not
here
yet.You'll
have
to
help
us.”
“All
right，”
I
told
him，“just
give
me
a
minute
to
dress
up.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph
1：
Then
I
went
out
in
front
of
the
hundred
or
so
men
in
the
audience.
Paragraph
2：
Then
I
walked
off
the
stage
into
the
audience，and
a
banker
greeted
me.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
Then
I
went
out
in
front
of
the
hundred
or
so
men
in
the
audience.I
said，“I'd
like
to
give
you
my
performance
of
a
country
girl.”
I
started
telling
them
about
the
wonderful
stories
and
jokes.And
the
bankers
were
laughing
and
applauding.When
I
ran
out
of
stories，I
looked
over
at
Jim
Walker，and
he
shook
his
head.So
I
started
singing
old
country
songs.At
the
end
of
the
second
song，Jim
came
over
to
me
and
said，“The
speaker's
here.You
can
stop
now.”
Paragraph
2：
Then
I
walked
off
the
stage
into
the
audience，and
a
banker
greeted
me.He
told
me
that
my
performance
was
very
interesting
and
recommended
me
to
a
manager
of
the
great
country
music
station.The
manager
had
me
come
up
for
an
interview
and
offered
me
a
good
job.That
changed
my
whole
life.It
was
the
beginning
of
Minnie
Pearl，and，to
me，the
end
of
my
“failure”
and
the
beginning
of
a
new
way
to
share
fun
with
others
and
look
at
things.

Ⅱ.完形填空
I'm
sure
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
New
Year's
resolution(决心)—“get
1
”．After
a
Christmas
of
staying
2
，
watching
television
and
eating
far
too
much
chocolate，I
decided
enough
was
enough.January
was
going
to
be
3
．January
was
going
to
be
the
start
of
the
new，healthy
me—less
chocolate，more
4
，
an
all?round
healthier
lifestyle.But
how
was
I
going
to
do
this?
As
I
browsed
the
Internet
looking
for
5
，
I
realised
just
how
little
I
knew
about
ways
to
get
fit.In
terms
of
exercise，I
had
always
6
you
either
played
a
team
sport
like
football
or
went
to
the
gym.And
with
the
arrival
of
January
snow，playing
football
outside
didn't
seem
like
the
best
option，and
as
I
have
a
deep?rooted
7
of
falling
off
running
machines，the
gym
wasn't
going
to
work
out
either.Plus
I've
never
quite
understood
the
concept
of
8
to
run
inside
when
you
could
run
outside
for
free!
9
，
I
knew
that
I
needed
to
research
my
options
further.The
first
thing
I
found
was
the
world
of
YouTube
exercise
videos.There
are
videos
for
10
about
everything.The
good
thing
about
YouTube
videos
is
that
they
are
free，they
are
flexible
(you
can
do
them
whenever
you
want)and
you
don't
have
to
11
your
nice
warm
house
to
do
them.But
unless
you
do
them
with
a
friend
it's
difficult
to
motivate
yourself
to
keep
going，and
without
an
instructor
there
with
you
it's
sometimes
hard
to
know
if
you're
doing
the
move
12
．
I
then
researched
local
fitness
classes
and
found
my
small
town
to
be
absolutely
swimming
with
13
！
I
quickly
signed
up
to
the
overall
sports
club，had
a
look
at
the
weekly
timetable
and
14
to
try
them
all
out.So
far
I
have
tried
out
most
of
them.My
15
ones
are
by
far
the
dance?based
ones
that
take
place
to
music，because
it
makes
exercise
so
much
more
fun!

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Stephen
Wiltshire
is
a
famous
artist.His
drawings
—often
drawn
from
memory
and
at
great
speed—are
sketched(素描)
on
the
spot
at
street
level.
Stephen，who
was
born
in
London
in
1974，didn't
say
a
word
as
a
small
child，and
found
it
hard
to
relate
to
other
people.At
the
age
of
five，Stephen
was
sent
to
Queensmill
School，London，where
it
soon
became
apparent
that
he
communicated
through
the
language
of
drawing.His
teachers
encouraged
him
to
speak
by
taking
away
his
art
materials
for
a
short
time；eventually
he
said
his
first
words—“paper”
and
“pencil”—but
didn't
learn
to
speak
fully
until
the
age
of
nine.
Stephen
loved
drawing
and
he
was
seldom
to
be
found
without
pen
and
paper.Once
he
took
part
in
art
competitions，news
of
his
great
talent
began
to
spread.Early
fans
included
the
late
Prime
Minister
Edward
Heath
who
bought
his
drawing
of
Salisbury
Cathedral，made
when
Stephen
was
just
eight.
But
Stephen
came
to
wider
public
attention
when
the
BBC
featured
him
in
the
programme，The
Foolish
Wise
Ones
in
1987，when
he
was
introduced
by
Sir
Hugh
Casson(a
past
president
of
the
Royal
Academy)，as
“the
best
child
artist
in
Britain”.
After
that，Stephen's
reputation
grew
worldwide.A
second
BBC
documentary
in
2001
showed
Stephen
flying
over
London
in
a
helicopter
and
later
completing
a
detailed
drawing
of
London
within
three
hours，which
included
12
historic
landmarks(地标性建筑)and
200
other
structures.
In
2006
Stephen
was
recognised
for
his
services
to
the
art
world，when
he
was
made
a
member
of
the
Order
of
the
British
Empire.Today
wherever
Stephen
goes，people
are
attracted
by
his
outstanding
talent.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了天才画家Stephen
Wiltshire。他在一个陌生的城市，只要在街上转一圈，就可以把街景建筑全都像电脑一样事无巨细地储存下来，再用画笔还原出来。
1．What
problem
did
Stephen
have
when
he
was
a
small
child?
A．No
schools
wanted
him.
B．No
teachers
liked
him.
C．He
couldn't
speak.
D．He
couldn't
spell.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Stephen...didn't
say
a
word
as
a
small
child...but
didn't
learn
to
speak
fully
until
the
age
of
nine.”可知，Stephen小时候不会说话。]
2．When
did
Stephen
become
world?famous?
A．After
his
second
BBC
documentary.
B．After
the
programme
The
Foolish
Wise
Ones．
C．After
he
met
with
the
late
Prime
Minister
Edward
Heath.
D．After
Sir
Hugh
Casson
bought
his
drawing
of
Salisbury
Cathedral.
B [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“After
that，Stephen's
reputation
grew
worldwide.”，再结合第四段内容可知，Stephen上了BBC的节目The
Foolish
Wise
Ones之后开始闻名世界。]
3．What
is
special
about
Stephen's
drawing
of
London?
A．It
was
his
greatest
work.
B．It
was
drawn
in
a
helicopter.
C．It
featured
historic
landmarks.
D．It
was
finished
in
a
short
time.
D [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“completing
a
detailed
drawing
of
London
within
three
hours”可知，Stephen只用了三个小时就完成了伦敦画作。另外第一段中的“His
drawings—often
drawn
from
memory
and
at
great
speed”也说明了Stephen绘画速度之快。]
4．The
text
is
likely
to
appear

A．a

B．a

C．an
official
report
D．a

B [文章出处题。本文按照时间顺序介绍了天才画家Stephen
Wiltshire从小至今的主要事迹，因此本文最有可能出自一篇传记。]
B
According
to
a
recent
study
published
in
Journal
of
Consumer
Research，many
people
believe
that
healthy
food
must
be
more
expensive
than
unhealthy
food.In
fact，the
study's
researchers
found
that
a
high
price
tag
will
even
convince
consumers
that
a
certain
food
is
healthful.
According
to
Rebecca
Reczek，co?author
of
the
study，the
purpose
of
the
study
was
to
examine
a
popular
belief．Sometimes
the
belief
can
be
true：Organic
produce
and
wild?caught
seafood
typically
cost
more
money.But
other
times，the
nutritional
value
of
food
ranks
all
the
same.
In
one
experiment，Reczek's
team
gave
a
group
of
participants
a
new
food
product
called
“granola
bites”．Some
participants
were
told
the
product
was
very
healthy.Other
participants
were
told
the
bites
had
little
nutritional
value.Participants
who
were
told
the
granola
bites
were
good
for
them
rated
the
snack
as
more
expensive
than
the
participants
who
thought
the
bites
were
unhealthy.
In
another
experiment，participants
were
given
a
health
food
bar
labeled
as
“the
healthiest
protein
bar
on
the
planet”．Some
participants
were
told
the
bar
cost
just
$0.99，others
were
told
the
bar
was
$4.And
here's
what
happened：The
people
who
were
given
the
“cheaper”
bar
needed
to
read
a
lot
more
reviews
about
the
product
when
it
was
priced
at
a
lower
price
point
in
order
to
trust
that
it
was
healthy.
The
idea
that
we
all
believe
healthy
food
needs
to
be
more
expensive
works
against
us.All
food
companies
need
to
do
is
push
up
the
price
to
convince
us.
But
Reczek
said，“When
we
shop，we
don't
have
to
be
led
astray.We
can
compare
nutrition
labels
and
we
can
do
research
before
we
go
to
the
grocery
store.We
can
use
facts
rather
than
our
intuition(直觉)．”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，人们认为越贵的食物营养价值就越高，这种想法很容易被商家利用。
5．What
does
“a
popular
belief”
underlined
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to?
A．That
people
should
eat
healthy
food.
B．That
organic
produce
is
really
healthy
for
us.
C．That
the
nutritional
value
of
food
isn't
the
same.
D．That
eating
healthy
food
means
spending
more
money.
D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“many
people
believe
that
healthy
food
must
be
more
expensive
than
unhealthy
food.”以及第二段中的“Sometimes
the
belief
can
be
true：Organic
produce
and
wild?caught
seafood
typically
cost
more
money.But
other
times，the
nutritional
value
of
food
ranks
all
the
same.”可知，这个很普遍的观点就是：越贵的食物营养价值就越高。]
6．Why
did
some
participants
regard
the
granola
bites
as
more
expensive?
A．Because
they
knew
they
had
high
nutritional
value.
B．Because
they
had
been
told
about
the
price
of
them.
C．Because
they
knew
they
were
a
new
food
product.
D．Because
they
considered
them
organic
food.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Participants
who
were
told
the
granola
bites
were
good
for
them
rated
the
snack
as
more
expensive
than
the
participants
who
thought
the
bites
were
unhealthy.”可知，他们认为这种食物价格更高是因为他们被告知这种食物对他们的健康有益，即营养价值高。]
7．How
did
some
participants
react
when
hearing
the
bar
cost
$0.99?
A．They
considered
it
healthy.
B．They
were
doubtful
about
it.
C．They
really
wanted
to
buy
it.
D．They
were
very
happy
about
it.
B [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The
people
who
were
given
the
‘cheaper’
bar
needed
to
read
a
lot
more
reviews
about
the
product
when
it
was
priced
at
a
lower
price
point
in
order
to
trust
that
it
was
healthy.”可知，他们对低的价格持怀疑态度。]
8．According
to
Reczek，what
should
we
do
when
we
go
shopping?
A．Buy
food
that
is
more
expensive.
B．Consult
other
people
for
advice.
C．Pay
attention
to
nutrition
labels.
D．Avoid
buying
unknown
food.
C [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We
can
compare
nutrition
labels
and
we
can
do
research
before
we
go
to
the
grocery
store.”可知选C项。]

Need
more
excitement
in
your
life?
Maybe
it's
time
to
take
up
an
extreme
sport!
1
Each
year
they
are
becoming
more
and
more
popular.Some
examples
of
extreme
sports
include
base
jumping，ice
climbing，cave
diving，and...cheese
rolling？！
No
one
knows
exactly
how
it
started，but
Cooper's
Hill
Cheese?Rolling
Race
is
an
annual
event
that
has
taken
place
for
over
100
years.The
name
comes
from
Cooper's
Hill
where
the
“sport”
takes
place，just
outside
the
village
of
Brockworth，England.
2
A
wheel
of
cheese
is
thrown
down
a
hill
while
a
group
of
people
chase
after
it，trying
to
be
the
first
to
catch
it
or
reach
the
bottom
of
the
hill.The
cheese
weighs
just
over
3kg
and
picks
up
a
lot
of
speed
travelling
down
the
very
steep
slope(斜坡)．
3
And
if
you
come
second
or
third
you'll
receive
￡10.Incredibly，the
event
has
become
so
popular
that
people
travel
from
all
over
the
world
to
take
part—even
from
as
far
away
as
Canada
and
Australia.
But
what
makes
the
sport
so
extreme，and
why
has
the
local
government
tried
to
ban
the
tradition?
Injuries—and
lots
of
them.The
hill
is
so
steep
that
it's
not
actually
possible
to
run
down
it.
4
Ambulances
arrive
at
the
event
before
the
race
even
starts
in
preparation
for
all
those
who
will
need
a
trip
to
the
hospital.Go
to
YouTube
and
search
for
“Gloucestershire
Cheese
Rolling”
to
see
the
event
in
action.
5
Maybe
you
will
want
to
have
a
try
someday.
A．It's
as
silly
as
it
sounds.
B．If
you
win，you
get
to
keep
the
cheese.
C．Is
it
wrong
to
let
children
do
extreme
sports?
D．These
popular
activities
can
be
extremely
dangerous.
E．Be
prepared
to
both
laugh
and
cover
your
eyes
in
shock.
F．Instead，you
fall，bounce
and
roll
your
way
to
the
bottom.
G．Extreme
sports
are
activities
that
involve
a
high
amount
of
danger
and
excitement.

1．G [G项中的Extreme
sports与上文的“an
extreme
sport”相呼应；该空后的they即指代G项中的Extreme
sports。]
2．A [下文的“A
wheel
of
cheese
is
thrown
down
a

bottom
of
the
hill.”是对A项的具体说明，即这项运动看起来和听起来一样傻。]
3．B [B项与下文的“And
if
you

you'll

￡10.”都是对奖项的说明。]
4．F [F项是对上文的“The
hill
is

that
it's
not

possible
to
run
down
it.”的进一步说明，指出该项运动为什么危险。]
5．E [E项与上文的“search

Theater与其他地方的不同。]
B
Dearest
darling
girl，
Today
is
the
beginning
of
the
next
stage
in
your
life.We
head
off
to
your
new
home
at
Stanford.Where
do
I
start
in
telling
you
how
proud
I
feel
to
be
called
Mummy
by
you?
We've
laughed
at
how
you
burst
into
this
world
with
a
scowl
on
your
face，how
determined
you
have
always
been
right
from
feeding
yourself
to
making
big
decisions
for
your
life.There
were
days
during
your
illness
that
I
wasn't
sure
you
had
the
will
to
make
it.Telling
you
that
you
needed
to
want
to
get
better
was
the
hardest
and
yet
the
greatest
day.From
that
day
you
took
responsibility
and
decided
you
wanted
to
beat
anorexia(厌食症)．
I
don't
think
I've
ever
felt
so
proud
of
you
as
when
you
came
home
to
say
that
you
wanted
to
go
to
West
Africa
between
school
and
university.You
chose
to
go
alone，and
to
raise
the
money
yourself.You
have
such
strength
of
character
and
determination.It
is
at
times
hard
to
believe
that
you
are
only
18.You
experienced
something
in
that
month
that
few
dare
experience
in
a
lifetime.
So，Viv，here
are
my
words
of
wisdom
to
you
as
you
start
your
next
big
adventure.The
world
is
a
beautiful
place
but
often
a
few
things
can
make
it
seem
difficult.God's
temple
is
made
of
love.It's
man's
temple
that
is
built
of
stones.Open
your
heart
to
goodness
and
never
ever
let
negative
people
or
thoughts
take
hold
of
you.As
Minor
Myers
put
it，“Go
into
the
world
and
do
well.But
more
importantly，go
into
the
world
and
do
good.”
It
is
true
that
with
every
passing
day，I
will
grow
older
and
weaker.A
day
may
come
when
I
will

C
No
one
can
doubt
the
fact
that
education
plays
an
important
role
in
a
person's
life.However，different
people
prefer
different
ways
of
education.Recently，a
survey
in
Canada
found
that
about
40
percent
of
high
school
students
are
not
in
favor
of
daily
homework，which
quickly
led
to
a
heated
discussion
about
whether
daily
homework
should
be
ended
or
not
in
schools.
Some
people
insist
that
daily
homework
helps
students
a
lot.Yet
others
are
for
the
opinion
that
homework
is
nothing
more
than
a
routine
activity
that
cuts
time
for
leisure
or
physical
exercise.It's
true
that
out?of?class
activities
should
be
valued
in
a
student's
development，but
from
my
point
of
view，homework
still
plays
an
important
role
in
one's
life.
Doing
daily
homework
is
a
way
to
build
a
foundation
for
a
person's
self?development.In
the
long
run，students'
study
habits
will
be
more
developed
and
their
awareness
of
the
importance
of
learning
will
be
raised
by
doing
homework
every
day.An
experiment
carried
out
by
the
University
of
British
Columbia
found
that
former
students
who
did
homework
every
day
still
take
part
in
self?study
every
day
even
though
they
have
already
graduated.Homework
also
helped
give
them
a
deeper
understanding
of
how
important
education
is
in
a
person's
life.
Students
doing
homework
every
day
also
have
better
time
management
skills，since
daily
academic
exercises
can
help
them
plan
their
free
time
more
effectively.Take
me
as
an
example，I
spent
a
lot
of
time
playing
video
games
when
I
was
in
primary
school
when
there
was
little
homework
to
do.After
I
got
to
middle
school，the
time
I
spent
on
homework
began
to
increase
greatly.But
it
did
not
become
a
burden
for
me.Instead，it
helped
me
get
rid
of
my
gaming
habit
as
well
as
improve
my
ability
to
manage
time.
Doing
homework
not
only
develops
students'
good
habits
and
knowledge，but
also
improves
their
ability
to
manage
their
spare
time.Although
doing
daily
homework
isn't
ideal
for
everyone，people
have
to
admit
that
the
advantages
it
brings
are
more
valuable
than
the
harm.

If
you
choose
only
to
complain
and
escape
from
a
misfortune，it
will
always
follow
you
wherever
you
go.But
if
you
decide
to
be
strong，the
hardship
will
turn
out
to
be
fortune
on
which
new
hopes
will
arise.
In
an
accident，a
boy
lost
both
his
arms
and
his
father
who
was
the
main
source
of
support
for
the
family.Since
then，he
has
had
to
depend
on
the
arms
of
his
younger
brother.For
the
sake
of
taking
care
of
him，his
younger
brother
became
his
shadow，never
leaving
him
alone
for
years.Except
for
writing
with
his
toes，he
was
completely
unable
to
do
anything
in
his
life.
As
the
two
brothers
grew
up
together，they
had
their
share
of
problems
and
they
would
often
quarrel.Then
one
day，his
younger
brother
wanted
to
leave，living
his
own
life，as
many
normal
people
do.So
he
was
heartbroken
and
didn't
know
what
to
do.
A
similar
misfortune
befell
a
girl，too.One
night，her
mother
who
suffered
from
chronic
mental
illness
disappeared.Her
father
went
out
to
look
for
her
mother，leaving
her
alone
at
home.She
tried
to
prepare
meals
for
her
parents，only
to
overturn
the
kerosene
light
on
the
stove，resulting
in
a
fire
which
took
her
hands
away.
Though
her
elder
sister
who
was
studying
in
another
city
showed
her
willingness
to
take
care
of
her，she
was
determined
to
be
completely
independent.At
school，she
always
studied
hard.Most
of
all
she
learned
to
be
self?reliant.
One
day，the
boy
and
the
girl
were
both
invited
to
appear
on
a
television
interview
program.The
boy
told
the
TV
host
about
his
uncertain
future
at
being
left
on
his
own，whereas
the
girl
was
full
of
enthusiasm
for
her
life.They
were
both
asked
to
write
something
on
a
piece
of
paper
with
their
toes.The
boy
wrote：My
younger
brother's
arms
are
my
arms；while
the
girl
wrote：Broken
wings，flying
heart.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
A
good
training
partner
can
be
a
great
asset(有用的人)to
your
training
but
if
you
get
stuck
with
a
bad
one，it
could
lead
you
down
the
road
to
frustration.
16
Here
are
a
few
things
to
look
out
for：
·Dependable.Choose
someone
who
you
are
sure
will
show
up
for
every
scheduled
workout
or
who
will
call
you
if
they
can't
make
it.It
is
a
drain(消耗)on
your
valuable
energy
especially
before
training
to
have
to
constantly
remind
your
partner.
·Attitude.Get
a
partner
with
a
positive
attitude.This
is
very
important.If
they
constantly
say
that
something
is
impossible
or
that
they
can't
or
you
can't
do
something，you
may
end
up
believing
them.
17
·Open
mind.Get
a
partner
with
an
open
mind.Someone
who
has
to
do
things
his
or
her
way
all
the
time，will
not
listen
to
you
and
will
not
change
his
or
her
mind
isn't
a
good
partner.
18
The
leader
should
take
into
account
the
needs
and
feelings
of
the
other
partner
not
totally
ignoring
them.
·Spotting.Get
someone
you
feel
comfortable
with
spotting
you.One
of
the
main
roles
of
a
training
partner
is
spotting
and
if
you
don't
trust
them，there's
not
much
point
in
having
them
around
to
help.
·
19
If
you
are
a
beginner，try
to
find
someone
who
knows
what
they
are
doing.You
will
get
more
out
of
your
training
than
if
you
train
with
another
beginner.
While
there
are
a
number
of
advantages
of
having
a
training
partner，there
are
also
advantages
of
working
alone.
20
A．Training
level.
B．Similar
strength
levels.
C．Be
selective
when
choosing
a
training
partner.
D．Find
someone
with
a
similar
training
goal
as
you.
E．In
every
partnership，one
person
will
tend
to
be
the
leader.
F．Do
not
train
with
someone
who
is
satisfied
with
no
improvement.
G．In
the
end，it
is
really
up
to
you
whether
or
not
you
need
a
training
partner.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中介绍了挑选一个好的健身伙伴需要考虑的几个因素。
16．C [根据上文“A
good
training
partner
can
be
a
great
asset(有用的人)．..the
road
to
frustration.”可知，健身伙伴有好有坏；再结合下文的“Here
are
a
few
things
to
look
out
for”可知，C项“挑选健身伙伴时要仔细斟酌”承上启下，符合语境。]
17．F [根据上文中的“Attitude.Get
a
partner
with
a
positive
attitude...”可知，挑选健身伙伴时要考虑对方的态度，选择那些态度积极的人做伙伴，而不要和那些不求上进的人结为健身伙伴，故选F。]
18．E [E项中的“the
leader”与空格后的“The
leader
should
take
into
account
the
needs
and
feelings
of
the
other
partner
not
totally
ignoring
them.”相照应，故选E。]
19．A [根据下文中的“If
you
are
a
beginner，try
to
find
someone
who...train
with
another
beginner.”可知，选择健身伙伴时还要考虑个人训练水平，挑选那些比自己水平高的人作为健身伙伴。]
20．G [根据上文中的“While
there
are
a
number
of
advantages
of
having
a
training
partner，there
are
also
advantages
of
working
alone.”可知，G项，“最终，你是否需要健身伙伴真的要由你自己来决定”符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
In
1994
I
was
in
the
midst
of
a
depression(抑郁症)．When
I
was
depressed，I
21
．One
day
I
was
cleaning
up
the
rooms
and
found
a
CD
covered
with
dust.I
wiped
it
off，put
it
in
the
22
and
started
washing
dishes.A
man's
voice，reading
poetry，filled
my
house.The
sound
of
the
speaker's
voice
and
the
words
of
the
poems
reached
something
deep
inside
me.I
stopped
and
23
．
I
began
to
take
poems
into
my
life,
not
simply
reading
them，but
developing
rich
relationships
with
the
24
．I
learned
many
by
heart.They
became
my
therapy(疗法)
and
25
．Those
poems
made
me
wiser
and
healthier.
26
，
in
the
fall
of
2008，poetry
27
me
in
a
way
I
had
never
expected.I
had
put
all
my
savings
in
a
small，local
fund(基金)．Two
months
later，the
leader
of
the
fund
left
me
a
message：“The
financial
crisis
28
our
fund
particularly
hard.We've
lost
everything.”
I
stood
there，
29
．
Suddenly
I
heard
a
poem，
30
，
called
Kindness
in
my
mind.It
felt
like
the
poem
had
been
written
for
me
31
，
for
this
exact
moment，like
the
perfect
helper
32
on
the
scene
at
the
instant
of
an
accident.Kindness
became
my
33
．I
read
it
before
going
to
bed，and
at
breakfast
every
morning.It
reminded
me
that
this
was
not
a
34
，
but
a
path
to
sympathy，and
I
was
not
walking
alone.Even
now，I
reach
for
Kindness
several
times
a
week
to
carry
me
35
the
heart
of
what
really
matters
to
me.

Megan
is
a
bright
and
curious
little
girl，as
most
children
at
age
eight.When
walking
she
looks
up，down，or
sideways，never
where
she's
going.One
day，she
spotted，partly
covered
by
leaves
and
litter，a
$100
bill.She
looked
to
see
if
anyone
was
watching
and
bent
down
to
crumple(弄皱)
the
bill
in
her
tiny
hand.Sliding
it
into
her
jacket
pocket，she
took
another
guilty
look
and
then
hurried
off
to
school.
Her
day
was
spent
watching
her
jacket
hung
on
the
wall
by
the
door.During
lunch，she
took
it
off
and
ran
to
the
far
side
of
the
playground
to
pull
out
the
crumpled
bill
and
stare
at
it
and
see
that
it
was
real
and
belonged
to
her.When
some
older
kids
wandered
by，she
put
it
back
into
her
pocket
quickly
and
rushed
back
into
the
classroom.
It
wasn't
until
she
was
riding
home
on
the
school
bus
that
she
started
to
wonder
about
whom
the
bill
had
belonged
to
before
it
came
to
be
hers.“Probably
somebody
rich，”
she
thought.“Why
else
would
he
be
so
careless
with
$100
bills？”
She
imagined
a
tall
man
in
a
fine
wool
jacket
walking
to
his
big
car
and
pulling
out
a
roll
of
money，not
noticing
one
bill
drifting(飘)to
the
ground.Putting
the
roll
back
in
his
pocket，he
climbed
into
his
car
and
drove
away.Just
then，a
wind
blew
some
leaves
to
cover
most
of
the
lost
bill.
But，then
she
thought，what
if
the
bill
had
been
a
present
for
his
little
niece
with
her
grandma
because
her
parents
were
killed
in
a
car
crash?
She'd
have
treasured
that
$100
bill
because
it
came
from
her
generous
uncle.And
she'd
be
dreaming，even
now
if
she
hadn't
realised
she'd
lost
it，of
all
the
toys
and
treats
that
the
bill
could
buy.She
could
use
it
to
buy
a
present
for
her
grandmother.She
would
be
heartbroken
to
find
she'd
lost
that
$100
bill.

she
told
her

what

to

what
would

to

bill?
Maybe
she
couldn't
achieve
her
dream
—
she
wanted
to
use
the
money
to
buy
some
homeless
children
some
toys;
without
the
money，she
could
do
nothing.But
if
she
continued
to
keep
the
$100
bill，she
would
feel
so
guilty
that
she
couldn't
sleep
well.At
that
moment，she
regretted
picking
up
the
bill.Finally，she
decided
to
ask
her
mother
to
buy
some
toys
for
some
poor
children.Without
hesitation，her
mother
agreed.
Paragraph
2：
The
next
day
was
Sunday
and
Megan
and
her
mom
arrived
at
the
local
supermarket
early.The
money
was
still
in
her
jacket
and
it
still
belonged
to
her.Suddenly，she
found
some
toy
planes
which
were
right
presents
just
for
those
children!
She
stopped
her
mother，and
offered
to
buy
them.“I
can
pay
for
the
toys
myself，”
she
told
her
mother
what
had
happened.After
Megan
paid
for
the
presents，her
mother
gave
her
a
$100
bill
and
the
thumbs
up.Getting
a
praise
from
her
mother，she
felt
very
happy.
