When recalling my high school Gonzaga College High School，I am excited.It was founded in 1821，which was in the center part of D．C.，within the shouting distance(距离) of the Capitol building.
Seeing my older brother experience Gonzaga a few years before me，I had an idea of how special this school was before my entering to school.Through him，I could see the pride and friendship among Gonzaga students.
My true love for Gonzaga，however，began in my freshman year.I remember during my freshman guidance(新生入学指导)，the team spirit organization sat our class down on the playground and taught us all the game cheers.I remember feeling a sense of energy and pride among these students that I had never experienced from a high school before I mean，it was just a high school—much school pride could these kids really have But it was not just a high school，and it only took a few football games for me to realize that I went to the most prideful school in the D．C.
I spent the rest of my first year meeting some of the coolest and most interesting people I have ever known.Some of the funniest，smartest and kindest guys I have ever met went to this school.No matter how athletic(擅长运动的)you were or how much money your parents had，you were just another Gonzaga kid.You were friends with everyone.If you went to Gonzaga，teacher or student，you were in on the joke.
When my freshman life came to an end，I began to understand what it meant to be part of Gonzaga students.Serving the poor right there on Campus at the McKenna center，I got a view on poor people that I will value for the rest of my life.Through football I learned how to develop better self control and built some of the greatest friendships.In the classroom，I had many laughs with friends and teachers alike.I also learned how to manage my time and gained a lot of information，but most importantly，I learned how to put the world and others before myself.
4. Why did the author consider Gonzaga College High School special before getting into it

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the middy sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or plete silence. Only some coconuts falling, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretching out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw (草) through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office to walk five blocks with a heavy brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
8. The author mentions coconut’s falling to ________.
A. show his loneliness
B. add beauty to the jungle
C. express his love of nature
D. stress the absolute silence
9. What’s the right order of the following events
① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.

⑤I picked fruits and chopped firewood.

B. ⑤③②④①
C. ②⑤④③①
D. ⑤④③②①
10. How does the author feel about the ant
A. He admired its behavior toward work.
B. He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C. He had pity on the little ant.
D. He was happy to have its company.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer would probably ______.

C. make his way home
D. stay in the valley to enjoy the beautiful view
D
When she was 14 years old, Amy’s life was turned upside down by a family trouble.
Amy lived in a small village in India. Her mother fell ill and her father had to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she had to do most of the housework — including washing clothes. What’s worse, her family couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home — a task that took several hours.
Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they also helped her make the machine!
Here’s how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder (圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube (立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.
Amy’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine — and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Amy’s washing machine was chosen as India’s best invention! And the story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world.
“Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor,” said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, “she made a difference.”
12. What problem did Amy try to solve
A. Her mother suffered from illness.
B. Her family was too poor to afford her education.
C. It was a long way to get water from the river.
D. It took too much time and effort to wash clothes.
13. How did Amy solve the problem
A. designing→studying→getting materials→making the machine
B. designing→getting materials→studying→making the machine
C. studying→getting materials→designing→making the machine
D. studying→designing→getting materials→making the machine
14. How does the machine get powered
A. By turning the cylinder around with hands.
B. By pulling the chain with machines.
C. By pushing the pedals with legs.
D. By turning on the machine with electricity.
15. What does the underlined phrase “made a difference” mean here
A. Amy changed the way a washing machine works.
B. Amy won a big prize and improved her family’s life.
C. Amy improved many poor people’s lives with her creativity.
D. Amy encouraged many young inventors among the poor.

47. 读后续写
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done.

When recalling my high school Gonzaga College High School，I am excited.It was founded in 1821，which was in the center part of D．C.，within the shouting distance(距离) of the Capitol building.
Seeing my older brother experience Gonzaga a few years before me，I had an idea of how special this school was before my entering to school.Through him，I could see the pride and friendship among Gonzaga students.
My true love for Gonzaga，however，began in my freshman year.I remember during my freshman guidance(新生入学指导)，the team spirit organization sat our class down on the playground and taught us all the game cheers.I remember feeling a sense of energy and pride among these students that I had never experienced from a high school before I mean，it was just a high school—much school pride could these kids really have But it was not just a high school，and it only took a few football games for me to realize that I went to the most prideful school in the D．C.
I spent the rest of my first year meeting some of the coolest and most interesting people I have ever known.Some of the funniest，smartest and kindest guys I have ever met went to this school.No matter how athletic(擅长运动的)you were or how much money your parents had，you were just another Gonzaga kid.You were friends with everyone.If you went to Gonzaga，teacher or student，you were in on the joke.
When my freshman life came to an end，I began to understand what it meant to be part of Gonzaga students.Serving the poor right there on Campus at the McKenna center，I got a view on poor people that I will value for the rest of my life.Through football I learned how to develop better self control and built some of the greatest friendships.In the classroom，I had many laughs with friends and teachers alike.I also learned how to manage my time and gained a lot of information，but most importantly，I learned how to put the world and others before myself.

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the middy sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or plete silence. Only some coconuts falling, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretching out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw (草) through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office to walk five blocks with a heavy brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
8. The author mentions coconut’s falling to ________.
A. show his loneliness
B. add beauty to the jungle
C. express his love of nature
D. stress the absolute silence
9. What’s the right order of the following events
① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.
② I went to the jungle.
③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.
④ I lay on the ground to have a break.
⑤I picked fruits and chopped firewood.
A. ②③⑤①④
B. ⑤③②④①
C. ②⑤④③①
D. ⑤④③②①
10. How does the author feel about the ant
A. He admired its behavior toward work.
B. He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C. He had pity on the little ant.
D. He was happy to have its company.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer would probably ______.
A. work harder than before
B. talk to the man on the horse
C. make his way home
D. stay in the valley to enjoy the beautiful view
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在去树林采摘水果、收集柴火后躺在树林中休息，听着森林中偶尔掉落的椰子，独自感受着正午静谧的世界，享受着思想和身体的放松。然而这时作者感到了一只蚂蚁爬过，看着蚂蚁的辛勤，作者不由自主得对蚂蚁心生敬佩之情。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or plete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away.(一切都静止不动。天上地下都没有声音。完整的沉默。只有几颗椰子，隔着很长一段距离，从很远的地方掉下来。)”可知，此处为一种写作手法，为了突出树林的寂静，用椰子的掉落去对比。所以作者提到椰子掉落是运用了以动衬静的写作手法。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. (独自一人在荒野中。只有丛林。)”可知，作者去了丛林；第一段“Stretching out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs. (我闭着眼睛躺在沉重的水果和柴火旁边，享受着新鲜的血液从我身体的每一个部位流过，新鲜的丛林空气充满我肺的每一个角落的感觉。)”可知，作者在丛林中摘水果和劈柴后躺在地上休息一下；第三段“A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw (草) through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. (一只棕色的小蚂蚁在我鼻子下面的草叶丛林里，叼着一根干稻草挣扎着找路。)”可知，作者发现一只蚂蚁扛着一根干稻草；最后一段“I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. (我听到一匹马在山谷里嘶鸣。)”可知，作者听到一匹马在山谷里嘶鸣。所以事件的正确顺序②⑤④③①。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. (我想知道我是否能减轻这个小家伙的负担，但它没有丝毫的疲倦迹象，而是用六条腿，头朝前或头朝后地挣扎着，精力充沛地挥动着它的触角，好像旅程才刚刚开始。谁见过疲倦的蚂蚁？疲劳，令人不快的疲劳，仅限于被猎杀的动物、奴隶和现代人。)”可推断，作者非常敬佩蚂蚁对工作的态度。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone. (我站起身来。我听到山谷里有匹马在嘶鸣。在我的上方，在开阔的高地平原上，有野马。但是在下面的山谷里，只有人骑着马，才有马。有人向山谷走来，我妻子独自一人。)”可推断，作者认为有人上山来了，而他妻子一人在家，所以出于对妻子安全的考虑，作者很可能会回家。故选C。

When she was 14 years old, Amy’s life was turned upside down by a family trouble.
Amy lived in a small village in India. Her mother fell ill and her father had to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she had to do most of the housework — including washing clothes. What’s worse, her family couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home — a task that took several hours.
Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they also helped her make the machine!
Here’s how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder (圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube (立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.
Amy’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine — and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Amy’s washing machine was chosen as India’s best invention! And the story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world.
“Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor,” said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, “she made a difference.”
12. What problem did Amy try to solve
A. Her mother suffered from illness.
B. Her family was too poor to afford her education.
C. It was a long way to get water from the river.
D. It took too much time and effort to wash clothes.
13. How did Amy solve the problem
A. designing→studying→getting materials→making the machine
B. designing→getting materials→studying→making the machine
C. studying→getting materials→designing→making the machine
D. studying→designing→getting materials→making the machine
14. How does the machine get powered
A. By turning the cylinder around with hands.
B. By pulling the chain with machines.
C. By pushing the pedals with legs.
D. By turning on the machine with electricity.
15. What does the underlined phrase “made a difference” mean here
A. Amy changed the way a washing machine works.
B. Amy won a big prize and improved her family’s life.
C. Amy improved many poor people’s lives with her creativity.
D. Amy encouraged many young inventors among the poor.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop.

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.(当艾米用腿踩踏板时，滚筒就像普通洗衣机一样开始清洗衣服。)”可知，机器的动力源于艾米用腿蹬踏板。故选C项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中Jeanine Thomas的话“Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor (艾米的发明为世界上的穷人节省了时间和金钱)”可推知，Jeanine Thomas说“she made a difference.(她带来了影响。)”是指艾米的发明给世界上穷人的生活带来影响，她的创造力改善了许多穷人的生活。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了很多同学发现英语学习中听力理解很困难的具体原因。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数英语学习者都想说一口流利的英语。want to do sth.为固定用法，意为“想要做某事”，空处需填动词不定式作宾语。故填to become。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：事实上，许多英语学习者从一开始学习英语就把流利作为目标。根据“since they started to learn English.”可知，此处使用现在完成时，主语为many learners，助动词用have。故填have considered。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：不幸的是，许多英语学习者在学习的过程中放弃了，因为他们觉得自己永远也达不到口语“流利”的目标。修饰名词goal需用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：对一些学习者来说，流利意味着拥有完美的发音。mean doing sth.为固定用法，意为“意味着做某事”，空处需填动名词作宾语。故填having。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们很惊讶地发现，口音并不是流利的关键。the key to为固定用法，表示“……的关键”。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：流利的人很容易被理解，因为他们能清楚地发出英语的声音。修饰动词produce需用副词作状语。故填clearly。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他们还掌握了语调、连读和重音，所以他们说话时听起来很自然。sound为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语。故填natural。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：一些英语学习者不需要流利的口语，但是为了标准化测试，他们需要达到很高的书面英语水平。上下文之间是转折关系，需用连词but连接。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：这些学生可能需要关注语法规则和词汇来获得高分，这将帮助他们进入一所好学校。these为限定词，后面需加名词复数形式。故填students。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词high grades，指物，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt ” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonful of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.
