About 4 million children worldwide develop asthma each year because of nitrogen dioxide air pollution,according to a study published today by researchers at the George Washington University.The study estimates that 64 percent of these new cases of asthma occur in urban areas.The study is the first to quantify the worldwide burden of new pediatric(儿科的) asthma cases linked to traffic-related nitrogen dioxide by using a method that takes into account high exposures to this pollutant that occur near busy roads,said Susan C.Anenberg,PhD,the senior author of the study.
“Our findings suggest that millions of new cases of pediatric asthma could be prevented in cities around the world by reducing air pollution,” said Anenberg.“Improving access to cleaner forms of transportation,like electrified public transport,cycling and walking,would not only bring down NO2 levels,but would also reduce asthma,enhance physical fitness,and cut greenhouse gas emissions.”
Asthma is a disease that makes it hard to breathe when the lung’s airways are inflamed.An estimated 235 million people worldwide currently have asthma,which can cause wheezing as well as life-threatening attacks.
The World Health Organization calls air pollution “a major environmental risk to health” and has established Air Quality Guidelines for NO2 and other air pollutants.The researchers estimate that most children lived in areas below the current NO2 guideline.They also found that about 92 percent of the new pediatric asthma cases that were caused by NO2 occurred in areas that already meet the WHO guideline.
“That finding suggests that the WHO guideline for NO2 may need to be re-evaluated to make sure it is sufficiently protective of children’s health,” said Pattanun Achakulwisut,PhD,lead author of the paper.
Additional research must be done to more persuasively identify the factors leading to asthma within complex traffic emissions.This effort will help to improve the estimates of new asthma cases tied to traffic emissions.
【语篇解读】空气中的二氧化氮污染会导致儿童哮喘病的发生。
1.According to the study,how should the new cases of pediatric asthma be stopped
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Invent new drug.
B.Cut air pollution.
C.Raise people’s awareness.
D.Reduce electrified public transport.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“...millions of new cases of pediatric asthma could be prevented in cities around the world by reducing air pollution”,可知要通过减少空气污染阻止哮喘病的发生。
2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Struck. B.Enlarged.
C.Swollen. D.Broken.
答案C
解析猜测词义题。根据第三段第一句“...makes it hard to breathe...”可知是因为肺气道肿胀导致呼吸困难。
3.What do we know about the Air Quality Guidelines of WHO
A.The Air Quality Guidelines are not reasonable.
B.WHO established Air Quality Guidelines only for NO2.
C.The minority of children’s living environment meets the current WHO guidelines.
D.According to the guidelines,92 percent of the new pediatric asthma cases are caused by NO2.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“They also found that about 92 percent of the new pediatric asthma cases that were caused by NO2 occurred in areas that already meet the WHO guideline.”可知,他们发现92%的新增儿童哮喘病发生在符合世界卫生组织的空气质量指南的地方,故推断出这个指南不合理。
4.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Asthma is threatening children’s life.
B.WHO established Air Quality Guidelines.
C.Air pollution is a serious problem nowadays.
D.Air pollution makes children suffer from asthma.
答案D
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“About 4 million children worldwide develop asthma each year because of nitrogen dioxide air pollution...”可知,每年全世界有四百万的儿童因为二氧化氮污染而患上哮喘。
Ⅳ.应用文写作
假设你是李华,新年即将来临,你的英国笔友Jack和你交流新年的打算。你回信说你们搬入新校,为了更好地建设“绿色校园”,你打算号召同学们一起努力。

Dear Jack,
Thank you for your letter and telling me your new plan of the year 2021.Our new school has been set up and we moved into it.In order to build a “green school”,I would like to call on my classmates to make it.
First,to add beauty to our school,we are going to plant more trees on campus.Recycling is always the best method to protect the environment.So,second,we will recycle bottles,plastic bags and waste newspapers.Furthermore,we will make an effort to save energy at school.For example,we will turn off electrical appliances the moment they are not being used.
I believe united efforts can make our school a real “green school”.Do you think so
Yours,
Li Hua

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day.How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge.They had watched their mother in the kitchen.There was nothing to it.Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next,Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time,she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

W:Well,every day for me is different.I mean to say that some days I speak to clients for hours and hours,and try to convince them that our ideas are the best.A lot of my time is spent on research.Well,we have to deal with all the viewing and readership figures.We make up our own surveys to discover what a cross section of people think.We don’t just look at what people think,but because what really counts is:What sells the goods
The simple fact is that if we don’t show a rise in sales we lose a customer.
The part I really enjoy is the creativity.It’s funny really.I get ideas in the most peculiar places.The best idea I ever got was one time when I was sitting in the bath.I jumped out and wrote it down immediately.We also do what we call brainstorming.
That is:pooling and sharing our ideas.And we get the best ideas this way.That is as a result of teamwork.I mean,alright,we depend on everybody being creative,and this often happens best when you’re working alone.But without a good team,no campaign has a hope of succeeding.A good agency is,in fact,a team of individuals who work well alone,but also together.
Hmmm,the drawbacks.Now,the biggest drawback of my work is that you stand or fall by your results.If you can’t think of new ideas,or you make an expensive mistake then you get fired.And you’re out of a job.That’s always worrying,I can tell you.
18.What profession does the woman work in

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文
Even though these monuments are extremely well known,they hold secrets that not many people are aware of.
Empire State Building
On the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building in New York,there is a secret observation deck that not a lot of people know about.To access the balcony,you have to take a series of elevators and then a very steep,narrow staircase.The observation deck isn’t open to the public,but many celebrities have been photographed there.
Eiffel Tower
There is a secret apartment and office at the very top of the Eiffel Tower that has just recently become open to the public.In 1889,Gustave Eiffel,the engineer of this famous Paris landmark,built himself a private apartment and office.It has been restored and has wax models of Gustave,his daughter,and American inventor Thomas Edison on display.
Statue of Liberty
There is actually a room in the torch of the Statue of Liberty that showcases breathtaking views of the city.People used to be able to visit that room until 1916 when German agents blew up a nearby wharf(码头).The explosion sent broken pieces into the raised arm of Lady Liberty,making the staircase up to the hidden room unsafe.
Disneyland
Hardcore Disney fans might think they know all of the secrets of the park,a famous U.S.landmark,but many haven’t heard of Club 33.This exclusive restaurant is hidden behind an unmarked door in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square.If you want to dine here on your next trip to Disneyland,don’t get your hopes up.It costs $25,000 to join the club,plus an annual fee of $12,000.

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:记叙文
When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders,Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone,melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.
Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson,a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell,US,an idea for a class.
This term,she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落),scientists and activists,and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”
Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者).Then he did his own reading and research,and changed his mind.
Dillon wasn’t going into environmental work—he was a computer-science major.Yet,the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.
Six months into the work,he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost,displaced or massively impacted,” she said.“The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历使Fawn Sharp认识到了冰川融化的严重性,于是Jennifer Wren Atkinson给学生开设了课程,教学生如何面对气候变化,她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。
24.Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp
A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.
B.To prove Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.
C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.
D.To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.
答案C
解析推理判断题。通读第一段可知,Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化。由此可推知,作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题,故选C项。
25.What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class
A.To explore how different people deal with climate change.
B.To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.
C.To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.
D.To teach students how to conduct research about environment.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,她给学生讲环境研究的情感压力,她让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这一事实。由此可知,Atkinson的课程目的是让学生们更加关注环境问题,故选B项。
26.Which of the following words best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3
A.Simple. B.Difficult.
C.Common. D.Interesting.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据上文可知,Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科学家以及积极分子们的经历让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这个事实。结合该句句意可知,这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们将用他们的余生来解决它。故选B项。
27.How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon
A.It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects.
B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.
C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.
D.It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work...discuss his concerns about a changing climate.”可知,Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后,他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧。由此可推知,Atkinson的课程鼓励Dillon参与环境保护,故选C项。
C
主题语境:人与自然　体裁:说明文
World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974,established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others,followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.Environmentalists,academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India,and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution.It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic,which made up 10% of all of the waste.Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year,people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades (游行),concerts,cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday,so you won’t be getting the day off work or school,but if you want to celebrate,why not bring it to the attention of your parents,friends,colleagues or classmates World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet,so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something.Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference.You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens,learn about green foods,raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界环境日的由来和情况,呼吁全员行动起来保护地球。

31.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:说明文
Population data for European mountain birds have been for the first time combined in a recent study,with worrying results: the abundance of mountain-specialist birds has declined by as much as 10% in the 2000s.
Ecological communities in mountain areas include species not found in any other habitats.These species are also very susceptible to climate change,as global warming is reducing their liveable habitats.In principle,species may relocate further up the mountains,but closer to the top their habitat inevitably shrinks.
According to the new article,the abundance of European mountain birds has in fact declined in line with climate change projections.
The recently released study examined the population trends of 44 bird species in the 2000s in the mountain and fell regions of Fennoscandia,Great Britain,the Alps and the Iberian Peninsula.A decline was seen in 14 of the observed species,while eight of them saw significant increase.
“On average,population decline among the species studied was 7% over the 13-year research period,making the situation of mountain birds distinctly worse compared to,for example,European forest birds,whose numbers did not change during the same period,” explains Aleksi Lehikoinen,an Academy of Finland research fellow at the Finnish Museum of Natural History Luomus (part of the University of Helsinki),who headed the study.
The situation is the direst for species that only inhabit mountain regions and are unable to live in other European environments.For these species,known as mountain specialists,the numbers dwindled by as much as 10% during the monitoring period.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生活在欧洲的山鸟的生存状况。这些山鸟对气候变化非常敏感,而日趋严重的温室效应破坏了它们原本的栖息地,但它们又无法在更高的地方生存,所以数量越来越少。

A.They are newly found species.
B.They can be found at any place of the world.
C.The number of the birds has decreased greatly.
D.The number of the birds has increased greatly.

33.Why did the liveable habitats of the species reduce
A.Air pollutions.
B.Global warming.
C.Human activities.
D.Competition with other species.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句内容可知,温室效应破坏了山鸟的栖息环境。
34.Which one is TRUE according to the recently released study
A.All 44 bird species decreased.
B.Only 8 of the species declined.
C.14 of the observed species declined.
D.There was no change in the number of the bird species.
答案C

35.What does the word “direst” mean in the last paragraph
A.Serious.
B.Useful.
C.Suitable.
D.Waterless.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句和第六段第二句可知,这种mountain-specialist birds减少的比率要比一般鸟高,也就是情况更严重。

How to Grow Organic Tomatoes in a Container
Anyone who has seen tomatoes growing in a garden knows that they tend to be huge plants.　36　 So the first thing to do when considering growing tomatoes in a pot is to find a suitable variety.
After you find the perfect plant,it is time to plant it.In general,plastic or fiberglass pots are best for growing tomatoes.They don’t dry out quickly.While tomatoes love heat,they don’t like being dry.　37　 Besides,tomatoes need to grow in a reasonably large pot.A pot must be 8 inches deep.That’s the absolute minimum.A 12- or 16-inch pot is even better.
Any good quality organic potting soil works for tomatoes.Don’t use soil dug directly from the garden.　38　 Compost-based soil,whether purchased or mixed from your special recipe,is nice.When planting the tomato,put some soil in the bottom of the pot and set the plant in.After you have the plant set at the proper level,fill in around it with soil.The soil should go up to about an inch below the rim of the pot to allow room for watering.
　39　 The best way to tell when to water is to stick your finger into the soil—if the first two inches are dry,it’s time to water.
The trickiest thing about growing tomatoes in a pot is that they are heavy feeders.Every time you water,you wash nutrients out of the soil.So fertilize (施肥) regularly.Once a month is good.But every other week,applying the fertilizer at half-strength is better.　40　
A.It is too heavy for container gardens.
B.That’s why clay pots are popular.
C.Instead,use whatever soil you can get.
D.And dry soil can reduce fruit production.
E.This provides constant nutrients for the tomato plants.
F.They require people’s much work to stay manageable.
G.Tomatoes don’t like being dry,so water them regularly.

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today,there are times when I remember his face clearly,especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray (流浪) dog,until he came to me.
I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured
I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel.I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry.I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow.He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning,everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest.“Shall we keep him with us ” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would,my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
One day Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.












Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.










参考范文
One day Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.He came to my room and sat near me.It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding.I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat.I was very upset.But the next day,Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit.After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense.I really admired him a lot for his courage.
Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere.After some time Spotty became quiet.I patted him on his back and came inside.The next morning,my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty.I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere.And this time he had gone and would never come back.I cried and waited for him.We waited for one long week.But there were no signs of him.Then one day my dad got transferred to Mumbai.We shifted back to Mumbai.What would have happened to Spotty Would he have died These were the only questions in my mind,but they all remained unanswered forever.Section B　Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

Would you bet on the future of this man He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes,and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》).And the story poses an interesting question:Why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before
We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark.I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can’t all get there.I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But,if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can’t change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck,or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.

Four Secrets to Steve Jobs’ Success
How is it that a college dropout,who was once kicked out of his own company,became one of the world’s foremost innovators
Carmine Gallo lists the four ways Jobs managed to succeed in the face of discouraging circumstances.　1　
Do what you love,no matter what it happens to be.
This is what Jobs told Stanford University graduates in a speech in 2005.Gallo says the famous talk show host Rachael Ray agrees with this advice.Rachael Ray does what she loves.　2　 She did that because she loved cooking.
Say no to 1,000 things.
Simplifying his business was the key to Jobs’ success,Gallo says.In 1997,when Jobs returned to Apple,Apple was close to bankruptcy(破产).He took 300 products and condensed them to 10 within a two-year period.
　3　 In his latter years,he decided he would wear the same dress every day so that he didn’t have to think about it.
Kick-start(启动)your brain by doing something new.
Doing new things helped Jobs,in the words of Apple’s own slogan,“Think differently.”
The inspiration for the Apple Store came from the Four Seasons Hotel.That’s why when you walk into an Apple Store,you will not find a cashier.　4　 Walk to the back of the store and there’s a bar.It doesn’t serve alcohol,but it collects advice.
　5　
“For Jobs,it wasn’t just about selling 29 million iPads this summer but entertaining the customers at the same time,” Gallo says.“Whether you run a multi-billion dollar tech company or a pizza restaurant,innovation means creating a new experience for your customers,” Jobs says.
A.Do what you are curious about.
B.Create fresh experiences.
C.Instead,you’ll find a doorkeeper.
D.Carmine Gallo says that you can do the same.
E.She was giving cooking lessons at Macy’s for free.
F.Simplicity also extends to Jobs’ personal life.
G.Jobs explained that iPad was not just a phone but a lifestyle.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍Carmine Gallo列举了乔布斯面对困境,却依然成功的四个秘诀。
1.D　上一句“Carmine Gallo列举了乔布斯面对困境,却依然成功的四个秘诀”。D选项,“你也可以从这四方面做到”切题,该选项中的the same与上文four ways对应。
2.E　本段的小标题建议人们做自己喜欢的事情,Rachael Ray喜欢做饭,因此她免费教人们做饭。
3.F　根据后一句“在乔布斯后来的日子,为了不必考虑穿什么,他每天只穿同一款式的衣服”可以得出本段的大概意思,乔布斯生活得简单。
4.C　上一句“这就是为什么当你走进苹果商店时,你遇见的不是收银员”,C项“相反,你会遇见迎宾员”与上一句形成对比关系,说明苹果商店的不一样,故选C项。
5.B　本段主要阐述乔布斯的观点,无论是经营一家数十亿美元的科技公司,还是经营一家比萨店,都应该创新,给顾客创造新的体验。Section C　Extended reading & Project

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:说明文
The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2,000 birds and mammals.To date,at least 40,000 plant species,3,000 fish,1,294 birds,427 mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.
The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating (放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1,000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.
The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants (土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforest has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to deforestation (滥伐森林),rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.

Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store,Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace,by which she was totally defeated.How eagerly she wanted it!But when she saw the price,her heart sank a little.She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her.Her mother said,“Well,it is a pretty necklace,but it costs an awful lot of money.I can buy you the necklace,but when we get home,we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately,feeling a burst of joy.So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day.Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy.When Jenny went to bed,he would read Jenny her favourite story.One night when he finished the story,he said,“Jenny,do you love me ” “Oh,yes,Daddy,you know I love you,” the little girl said delightedly,with a broad smile on her face.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” Hearing that,Jenny froze there,an anxious expression twisting her face.“Oh!Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Rosy,my favourite doll.Remember her You gave her to me last year for my birthday.Okay ” “Oh no,darling,that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss,gently and calmly.“Good night,little one.”
A week later,her father once again asked Jenny after her story,“Do you love me ” “Oh yes,Daddy,you know I love you,” the little girl murmured softly,trying to escape from her father’s eyes.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” “Oh,Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Ribbons,my toy horse.Do you remember her She is my favourite.” The little girl begged.“No,that’s okay,” her father said,smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you,little one.Sweet dreams.”

Several days later,when Jenny’s father came in to read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.When listening to the story,Jenny was totally absent-minded,with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.When the story came to an end,unexpectedly,Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father,with her fingers trembling automatically.No one knew what the necklace meant to her.She whispered to her father,softly and gently,“Daddy,you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then,the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.Much to Jenny’s amazement,a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box,which set her heart racing.Jenny froze there,a thrilled expression twisting her face.Before Jenny was able to say something,her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms.Holding the genuine necklace in her hand,Jenny lifted her face,tears beginning to blur her vision.Unit 2Natural disasters

Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire.A nearby town,Paradise,was reduced to ash.Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing.Six of the ten most destructive fires in California’s history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record,until this year.Why is the Golden State so flammable
There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames.First,the climate is becoming warmer.This has led to snow melting earlier,drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.
A second reason is that more people live in flammable places.Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California,Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature.These areas,which environmentalists call the “wildland-urban interface”,are at higher risk of wildfire.
A third reason is that there is more fuel.Before western settlers arrived,fires used to happen often and naturally,which made less fuel available for future fires.For the past century fires have been controlled well.This has led to a build-up of dry brush,and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.
Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California,but not the last.Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were.Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly.Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on,but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是加州是一个容易遭受毁灭性火灾的地方,并给出了观点。
1.What may directly cause the big fire in California

B.The latest big fire in California is very destructive.
C.California suffered from destructive fires most last year.

答案B
解析句意理解题。根据第一段中的“Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire.A nearby town,Paradise,was reduced to ash.Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing.”可知,加利福尼亚北部的部分地区在最近的一场大火中变成了地狱。附近的天堂镇被烧为灰烬。近50人确认死亡,200多人失踪。故第一段画线部分的意思是“加利福尼亚最近发生的大火破坏性很强”。故选B项。

After what seemed like a century the earthquake appeared to be over.Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement.The smell of natural gas was present in the air.Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was located.Dad had shown her where it was and how to turn it off.Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table.The once tidy home was now almost unrecognizable.As Maggie reached the open basement door she could see the steps were still in good condition.She carefully made her way down into the dark basement.While still on the steps she felt the water rising and rising.Suddenly Maggie felt a lot of pain as a large ceiling beam (天花板梁) hit her head and shoulder.She fell onto some storage boxes...

·Prevent the smoke if you can’t get out.　4　Close your door and cover all vents(通风口)and cracks(缝隙)around it with cloth or tape to keep the smoke out.
·Call for help from a second story window.　5　You can take a sheet or something else—white preferably—and hang it out the window to signify that you need help when the first responders get there.
A.If you are trapped in your second story room,get to an area where people can find you.

6.A.refreshing B.risky

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一位90岁的英国女士仍然坚持工作,被评为“年度女性”的事迹。
1.being　考查非谓语动词。for是介词,后接动词时要用动词-ing形式。
2.which　考查定语从句。先行词是the pet shop,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作宾语,所以填which。
3.finally　考查副词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词在句中作状语,所以用副词形式。
4.declared　考查时态。根据下文的“she had no plans”可知,此处讲述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。
5.to retire　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,plans后接动词不定式作定语。
6.have made　考查时态。根据句中的时间状语“over the years”可知,句子应用现在完成时。
7.but　考查连词。分析句子结构可知,此处是“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”。
8.saying　考查非谓语动词。call和say有逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式来解释call的内容。
9a　考查冠词。joke是单数可数名词,此处是泛指,所以填a。
10.wonderful　考查形容词。所填的词在句中作表语,所以用形容词形式。第二单元测评

Lizzie’s diary from Antarctica (南极洲)
Day 3:Tuesday　December 2
We planned to go to Rothera that morning.We’d be staying there for the next two weeks.Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth,sometimes you can’t fly at all.
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day.People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.
It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7.But even when we were in the air,there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.
Day 4:Wednesday　December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place.It is really beautiful.
We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around.It is about minus 20℃ today which for me is very cold,but the regulars(常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!
Day 5:Thursday　December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic.I’m told it’s a bit colder today,about minus 50℃,but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer.Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we’re allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.
Day 7:Saturday　December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day.At first I thought I was going mad.I’d step outside in the morning and think,“I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully!
【语篇解读】本文是一篇旅游日记,主要讲述了作者在南极旅行时的经历。
21.Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on 　　　.
　　　　 　　　　　
A.Tuesday B.Wednesday
C.Thursday D.Saturday
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据Day 7:Saturday December 6一段中提到“Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).”,今天不太冷,室外也挺暖和,这里备注的是穿上了夹克,这天是第七天,12月6号,星期六,故选D项。
22.What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera
A.Strong winds. B.Thick clouds.
C.Mountains of ice. D.Low temperatures.
答案A
解析细节理解题。在Day 3:Tuesday December 2一段中提到“People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.”,人们必须待在Stanley,因为飞行员在等一个好天气,前文又提到“Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth”,由此推测应该是大风天气使得他们无法起飞,故选A项。
23.How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic
A.Afraid. B.Nervous.
C.Amazed. D.Bored
答案C
解析推理判断题。在Day 4:Wednesday December 3一段中提到“After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place.It is really beautiful.”在最后一天的日记中也说amazing,由此可知对南极的印象应该是积极的,而不是消极的,故选C项。

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:记叙文
On the day the tornado hit,there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out.The first alert my husband,Jimmy,67,and I,65,got came around 9 p.m.,from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom,and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola,Florida,station.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us.It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.The bones of the house shook,and the power went out.Pink insulation flew into the room from a trapdoor to the attic,and the wind began to roar through the house.
I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps.It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet.I gripped the banister (栏杆) and tried to move forward,but this intense pressure held me in place.
By the time I reached the closet,the tornado had been over us for about a minute.Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor,but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind.I gripped Jimmy’s arm.My knees and scalp were full of glass,but in that moment,I felt no pain.
All of a sudden,Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies.I thought he was gone.And then everything stopped.He landed on his feet.In those first quiet moments,I couldn’t believe it was over.Jimmy said he’d go outside to check.“No,” I said.“Don’t leave me.”
Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.In that time,four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed.Of the houses left standing,ours suffered the most damage.Amazingly,none of us were severely injured.

主题语境:人与自我　体裁:议论文
In a movie,a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter.As they approach the last page,she reads,“...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl,adding,“You know,things don’t always happen like this in real life.I just think you should know that now.”
We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers,brave princes and magic!It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true.In real life,you learn that glass slippers are really uncomfortable,no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.
So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out
Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written,and sadly,there’s not much you can do about those first few chapters.You didn’t get the best start.Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed (背叛).You didn’t get the job.Whatever falls and failures happened in your past,there’s still more to the story.
Your life has a lot of contributors (投稿者),and you are the editor-in-chief.You take what’s there and create the masterpiece (杰作).All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.
When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales,remember that in some ways it already is.There will be dragons,bad witches,great romances,winding roads and friends to help you along the way.Live your life carefully and positively as if you are writing a long story.Whether it’s a comedy,tragedy or a little of both,the pen is in your hand.How it ends is all up to you.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过现实生活和童话故事的比较,阐明了要积极乐观地生活的观点。

Green roofs—roofs that are planted with vegetation(植被)—may improve the indoor air quality of commercial buildings by cutting the amount of ozone coming into the buildings from the outside,according to new research from Portland State University.
The findings add to the already known environmental benefits of green roofs,including reducing carbon dioxide,decreasing storm water runoff and cutting down on urban heat,according to PSU researchers.
The researchers from PSU’s departments of Mechanical and Materials Engineering,Biology and the university’s Honors College,set up measuring devices on the roof of a big-box retail(零售) store in North Portland that was split between a green roof and a more conventional white roof.
They measured the air coming into the building from outdoor intake vents(通风孔),and found that the air coming in from the green roof area had modestly lower ozone levels than the air coming in from the unplanted area.They found that the vegetation trapped and filtered the ozone in the outdoor air.
The trapping effect is a process known as dry deposition,in which airborne particles collect or deposit themselves on solid surfaces.It’s a natural process that is key to removing pollutants from the atmosphere.
The study was conducted over a two-day period.The authors said the findings bring about a longer-term study—one that could include measuring other pollutants as well as ozone.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了“绿色屋顶”通过减少臭氧的进入,改善了室内的空气质量。
32.Which of the following is NOT the benefits of green roofs
A.Increasing storm water runoff.
B.Cutting the amount of ozone.
C.Cutting down on urban heat.
D.Reducing carbon dioxide.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段 “The findings add to the already known environmental benefits of green roofs,including reducing carbon dioxide decreasing storm water runoff...”可知,绿色屋顶对于环保的好处包括减少雨水流失,而不是增加,故A项不正确。
33.What do we know about the measuring devices used by researchers
A.They were put in a store.
B.They helped filter the ozone.
C.The air was measured by them.
D.They made the green roof cleaner.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“They measured the air coming into the building from outdoor intake vents...”可知,研究人员利用仪器检测进入建筑内部的空气。
34.What does the underlined word mean
A.Change. B.Increase.
C.Remove. D.Absorb.
答案C
解析推测词义题。根据第四段第一句“...and found that the air coming in from the green roof area had modestly lower ozone levels than the air coming in from the unplanted area.”可知,从绿色屋顶进来的空气比从没有植被的屋顶进来的空气拥有更低浓度的臭氧,所以植被“过滤”了臭氧。
35.What is the best title of this passage
A.Green roofs—a good way to improve indoor air quality
B.The trapping effect—a key to removing pollutant
C.Lower ozone levels—a solution to air pollution
D.Ozone—a harmful air for people’s health
答案A
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段“Green roofs...may improve the indoor air quality of commercial buildings by cutting the amount of ozone...”可知,绿色屋顶可以通过减少臭氧量,从而改善大楼内部的空气质量。

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me.I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK! ” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:说明文
Soon enough,we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!
The Great Barrier Reef
Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Corals are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!
Venice
Sprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.
Glacier(冰川)National Park
Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers,but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise,the glaciers and ice melt,which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amazon
The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land,fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!
What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:说明文
Building a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness(荒野)without damaging(破坏)the environment might not be easy,but it is far from impossible.The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken,the task is possible.
Unlike many other hotel building plans,no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it.The Lodge does not have the same location(位置) but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May,till September.Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane.Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax(税)on the protection of the natural resources,but is given the chance to see whales and bears.And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge,the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.
In 2000,the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native(本土的)Gitga’at people.Together they work for the benefit of the area.The Lodge knows that the native tribe(部落)is the owners of the land,so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people.They,in turn,teach the newcomers about the local culture.
The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental damage to win the approval(批准)of the local government where they set up their business.These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals.Realizing how destructive tourism can be,they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在一片珍贵的荒野中建造的一座五星级旅馆King Pacific Lodge,它坐落在一艘浮动船上,不占用土地,不砍伐树木。为了继续营业,他们必须保持该地区的原貌,同时与当地人签署协议,一起为这个地区的利益而工作。越来越多的旅游公司试图将对环境的破坏降到最低来表明旅游业可以减少对环境的破坏。

主题语境:人与自然　体裁:记叙文
Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish.　1　Zoey’s class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from the time when they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.
The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called “Trout in the classroom”.　2　The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project,too.
“I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up,” said seventh-grader Lauren Clayton.“We have to protect them,or some of the fish could go extinct.” Lauren was right.　3　 But later,pollution,overfishing and loss of natural habitat have pushed some species to the danger of extinction.
Thanks to the kids in the program,trout are being reintroduced into rivers and streams across the country.And by doing that,the kids are helping to restore the local ecosystems—the natural balance that existed before humans disturbed it.
　4　 Because the fish are in their classrooms,the kids are responsible for making sure there is cool,clean water,proper food and proper living conditions in the tanks.
By the middle of May,they were “as big as a finger”. That is,they are old enough to be released into Oneida Creek.“Remember to swim back here to meet us and eat the food we bring,little trout.”　5　
A.The kids can learn some scientific lessons at school.

主题语境:人与自我　体裁:记叙文
There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident,only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant,creative,and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world,so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then,he realised that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him.“Why not write to other people who need encouragement ”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied,“Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.”
Filled with excitement,the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.He wrote twice a week,testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience,sense of humour,optimism,and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters,especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said,“Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”
No matter what circumstances life may present,we all have unique experiences,abilities,and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

A.the man was not allowed to write to the prisoners
B.the man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himself
C.he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters
D.the prisoners were not allowed to answer the letters
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The prison minister replied,‘Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.’” 可知,监狱长告诉故事主人公,写信可以,但是不会收到回信。这句话使用了一般将来时,很肯定地表明事实——不会收到回信。可知,犯人不可以回信。

A.receive the school education
B.meet the people who are depressed
C.write to other people who need encouragement
D.help other people with lost arms and legs
答案C
解析细节理解题。由第二段中的“An idea occurred to him.‘Why not write to other people who need encouragement ’” 以及第四段中的“He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.”可知,故事主人公想出了给需要鼓励的人写信的主意,并且在与监狱长确认后,开始写信。也就是说为了生活得更有意义,故事主人公开始给需要鼓励的人写信。
3.From the officer’s short note we are told that 　　　.
A.the man would be offered free paper to write letters on
B.his letters were very popular among the prisoners
C.the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man
D.some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第六段中的“Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”可知,故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室,直到碎成纸屑。可以推断出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢迎。
4.What can be the best title for the passage
A.Special Letters of Encouragement
B.Popularity of Special Letters
C.Stories about a Humorous Person
D.Life in the Prison
答案A
解析主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文,文章中心体现在最后一段:无论我们身处什么环境,我们总有自己的长处,并能找到方法去帮助那些需要鼓励和力量的人。A选项中的Special Letters体现了故事主人公的处境,Encouragement体现了故事主人公内心的力量。

The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline,some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time,she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea,it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do,”said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us Well,we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags,and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

I’ll try right now.”They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.Unit 3The world online

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文
Do you shop online with websites like Taobao The money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller.Instead,it goes through Alipay,which keeps your money for a while.After you receive your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button,Alipay then gives the money to the seller.
The process is called “third party online payment”.There is a transfer station,or a third account,between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe.Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing.Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay,Tenpay and Yeepay.Among them,Alipay is the biggest in China.It has more than 270 million active users,according to Xinhua.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system,banks are not very happy.That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks.Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money.Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same.WeChat doesn’t have its own account.When paying through WeChat,the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers.That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out “red envelopes” or gift money to their friends on WeChat.
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment,they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier.These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints.New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要描述了网上付费的几种方式。
1.How many ways to pay are mentioned in the passage

C.to make your money safe

Dear Editor,
After I finish my homework,I often go online and chat with my friends.Sometimes I play computer games.But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer.Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm children.Once I went to a net bar (网吧) to play games after school.But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school.I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy.I feel bad about it.However,I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time.I really want my parents to understand that.Do foreign parents do the same to their children Please help me.
Li Ping,Beijing
Letter Two
Dear Li Ping,
I don’t think it’s strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad.Foreign parents will do the same as your parents!They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time,or like your parents,they don’t want their children to play computer games.
Talk to your parents and be honest to them,I think.Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you.It’s never good to do things behind your parents.They aren’t fools as you think sometimes!Our parents seem to know what is the best for us.
Remember:to be honest is the best way.
Good luck,
Rebecca

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文
Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans.As people are paying more attention to the environment problems,more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment.Many of them achieve this by using a web meeting.
　1　 It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting.Participants (与会者) don’t have to leave the office.Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it.When the meeting is ready to begin,they must sit before their computers.
With a web meeting,all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks.　2　 As a result,no fuel (燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.
Materials for the meeting are e-mailed to all the participants before it begins.　3　 For the company,this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.
As a meeting hall is not used,the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers.Besides,organisers don’t have to pay for food and accommodation (住宿) for the participants.　4　
In a word,a web meeting is a cheaper,greener,and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting.　5　 So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas.In return,they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.
A.The wet meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet.
B.All these mean that less energy is used.
C.Then participants can just read them on the screen.
D.Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment.
E.They can be printed (打印) by the receivers.
F.They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and from the meeting.
G.Web meetings are quite popular now.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,说明了网络会议的好处——绿色、环保、成本低。
1.A　根据后文的“It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting.”可以推断,it指的是网络会议。因此空格处必定会提到这一词眼。备选项有A项和G项。G项极具概括性,应该放在第一段的位置,故排除。
2.F　根据上文的“at their own desks”可知参会者在自己的办公桌就可以参会,F项顺理成章。
3.C　根据后文的“saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost”可知,既节约了纸张又省下来邮寄的费用,也就是说参会者看到的是电子的,因此选C项。
4.B　由第五段可知,网络会议节省了参会者的食宿费,唯一用到的能源就是电脑使用的电,因此使用的能源较少。
5.D　根据后文的“they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas.In return,they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business”可知,they代指的是公司,与D项中的companies呼应。第三单元测评

When you stay in a hotel,there are some things you should know about.First you have to tip.The bell-man gets 50 cents to $1 per bag for taking your luggage to your room.Maids usually don’t expect a tip,but if you stay more than a few days or if your maid does something special for you,a $2 tip is a good idea.Room service waiters should get 15% of a bill.Electricity in North America is 110 volts—not 220.This means you won’t be able to use your hair dryer or your electric razor unless you can change it to 110 volts.When telephoning from your hotel room,you will often have to go through the hotel switchboard,especially for a long-distance call.These calls can be quite expensive,because the hotel usually adds a high service charge to the calls you make.On the other hand,local calls can generally be made from your room by dialing direct.You can also ask the hotel receptionist to give you a wake-up call in the morning.You will always find soap,towels and linen in hotel and motel rooms in the US.
17.What should you know when in a hotel
A.How to offer a tip.
B.When to use the hair dryer.
C.Where to put your luggage.
答案A
18.Which of the following is the electricity in North America
A.130 volts.
B.110 volts.
C.220 volts.
答案B
19.Why is the long-distance call so expensive
A.Because it is special.
B.Because the time is long.
C.Because the hotel adds a high service charge.
答案C
20.What is the speaker talking about
A.The service in the hotel.
B.The fee of a long-distance call.
C.The charge of the hotel.

Nowadays,with the development of the Internet,emojis (表情符号) are more and more popular among netizens.Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emojis.Emojis help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly.Yet,not all emojis are properly used on social media.So we are going to introduce some common but confusing emojis to help you have a better understanding of these small signs.
1.A recent survey shows,over 53% people use the emoji when they are chatting online.Some people think it means “I’m shy”,but others only use it when they are surprised or shocked.But what does it really mean It is still an unsolved question.
2.What do you think of this sign Believe it or not,80% of netizens use it under the meaning of “It is not funny at all,but I have to smile.” Is it right Of course not!It actually means that “I saw what you did (usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister (奸诈的) smile.”
3.People have very different opinions on this emoji.The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high-five (嗨,击掌)”.But most people still use the incorrect meaning—pray.Some netizens even think,“If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five,you must be a bad guy.”
4.According to the official guidelines (官方指南),it is used as “smile through tears (破涕为笑)”.However,most young netizens consider this emoji as “laugh to tears” or simply “LOL”,which means “laugh out loud”.

Most people have never heard of Tim Berners-Lee.He is not nearly as rich or famous as Marc Andreessen,who is the founder of Netscape,or Bill Gates,whose name has become a well-known word.
Berners-Lee,who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,is the creator of the World Wide Web.The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare Berners-Lee to Johann Gutenberg,who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.
Berners-Lee was born in England in 1955.His parents,who helped design the world’s first commercially (商业地) available computer,gave him a great love of mathematics and learning.
In 1980,Berners-Lee went to work at CERN,a physics laboratory in Geneva,Switzerland,where he had a lot of material to learn quickly.He had a poor memory for facts and wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn’t remember.He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents.He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s.He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.
In 1991,his project became known as the World Wide Web.The number of Internet users started to grow quickly.However,Berners-Lee is not completely happy with the way the Web has developed.He thinks it has become a passive tool for so many people,not the tool for creativity that he had imagined.
In 1999,Berners-Lee published a book called Weaving the Web,in which he answers questions he is often asked,“What were you thinking when you invented the Web ” “What do you think of it now ” “Where is the Web going to take us in the future ”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了万维网络的发明者Tim Berners-Lee并简要介绍了万维网络的创建过程。

You don’t need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives,such as the way we shop.Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on,virtually (虚拟的).Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you — use the eBay Fashion iPhone app (程序) to try a pair of eyewear you’re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s motion tracking camera,you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect,custom fit.Everyone’s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit,you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning technology,all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using high-tech to get the most accurate measurements,so they can make special clothes just for you.
High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.High-tech shopping carts could,in time,be a common sight in malls and supermarkets.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test.The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道),controlled merely by your movement and your voice.In China,a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores’ aisles.
In the United States,several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.While it’s great not having to line up at a checkout counter,we wouldn’t mind it if the store used Toshiba’s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color,even if it has no bar code.

It was raining pretty hard on Halloween,but that wasn’t going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating.We decided to start at Miss Parson’s house.Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived nearby because she often shared her self-made cookies with us.We usually finished them in a second,especially when we were hungry after class.Sometimes,when we visited her or did something for her,she always gave us surprise.
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she’d offer.As we walked down the street,I held an umbrella,a bag for candy,and my sister’s hand.Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street.Spider webs hung in all the windows.Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways.After we had walked a few blocks,we were wet from head to toes,and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.
There was a light on at Miss Parson’s house,but there were no ghosts,goblins (小妖精),or Jack-o-Lanterns.We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window.She was drinking a cup of hot tea.
“Maybe she doesn’t celebrate Halloween,” Kate said with a sigh,disappointedly.
“Well,even if she doesn’t,she usually likes it when we visit her,” I said and knocked on the door.
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing.“Is today Halloween ” she asked.“I completely forgot.I am so sorry!”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.






The next morning,a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.







参考范文
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.“It’s cold out here,” she said.My sister’s face was shining from the rain and Miss Parson dried her cheeks.“Thank you,” Kate said.“Trick or treat ” “Oh,right!Treats,” said Miss Parson in surprise.Then she disappeared for a moment and came back with a big smile on her face.“Open those bags wide,” she said.She dropped two boxes of cocoa into our bags.“Winter is just around the corner,” she said.“Some hot cocoa will keep you warm.” “Thank you,” we both said.“Happy Halloween!”
The next morning,a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.We told Mom about how Miss Parson had forgotten Halloween and about what she had given to us and the other kids.“It sounds as if nobody was very upset,even though she forgot Halloween,” said Mom.“No,we were happy,” I said.“Although she didn’t give us candy,it was kind of fun for us all to get something different for a change.I hope it will become a Halloween tradition to give out unusual treats.”Section B　Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文,主要介绍了电影《流浪地球》相关的内容。
1.solution　考查名词。根据前文的定冠词,可知此处应为名词,所以填solve的名词形式solution。故填solution。
2.by　考查介词。句意:地球有灾难的时候通过宇宙飞船逃离这个星球。by“通过……的方式”,故填by。
3.offers/is offering　考查动词时态和主谓一致。主语是The Wandering Earth,单数,后面动词应该是第三人称单数形式,所以是is offering或者是offers。故填offers/is offering。
4.encouraging　考查动词-ing形式作定语。句意:《流浪地球》这部电影提供了一个与众不同并且鼓舞人心的想法。idea缺少修饰词,所以用encouraging作定语修饰。故填encouraging。
5.to build　考查动词不定式的用法。前文已经有work作谓语,此处用不定式作目的状语。故填to build。
6.which　考查非限制性定语从句。句意:全世界的人一起工作来建造一个可以把地球发射出太阳系的巨型机械系统。先行词是system,为物,非限制性定语从句只能用which在从句中作主语。故填which。
7.has had　考查现在完成时。句意:时至今日,家园这个词已经成为中国人心里最柔软的地方。时间状语up to now“直到今日”,这是典型的现在完成时时间状语。故填has had。
8.probably　考查副词。句意:这个特殊的文化背景或许使得《流浪地球》与其他电影不同。probably为副词修饰后面的动词makes。故填probably。
9.a　考查冠词的用法以及固定句型。句意:这是许多人经过辛苦的旅程回到自己家乡的时候。“It is a time when...”为固定句式,意为“……的时候”,应该用不定冠词a。故填a。
10.their　考查形容词性物主代词。hometown前面缺定语,所以应该用形容词性物主代词their作定语。故填their。Section C　Extended reading & Project

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文
My 9-year-old son spends a lot of time on the computer surfing the Internet and sending instant messages to his friends.But I worry about him getting into trouble with strangers online.What can I do to protect him
—Brian
Simple surfing and instant messaging with friends are common activities for kids—and generally safe,if you’ve discussed some rules of use with them.Chatting with strangers,however,may be a different story.Although there’s no way to know the actual risk,the FBI (联邦调查局) warns that kids whose Internet activity isn’t monitored are most at the risk of being exploited (利用).
Keep the computer in a common room in the house rather than in your son’s bedroom.Take an interest in the sites your son is visiting and the people with whom he is chatting.Warn him never to give out his personal information (his phone number,name,address,school name,etc.),agree to meet in-person anyone he meets in a chat room,or share any photographs.
Urge your son to introduce you to any new“friends” he meets online and to tell you if he ever feels uncomfortable about conversations that take place.Most importantly,talk to him about the dangers of interacting with strangers online and remind him that people online often don’t tell the truth.The FBI also recommends that parents maintain access to young kids’ online accounts and often check their email.
Finally,you can use parental controls offered by your Internet service provider or through blocking and filtering (过滤) software.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要针对孩子上网的安全问题,专家给家长提供了一些保护措施及建议。
1.How can the parents protect their children from strangers online
A.Keep the computer in their children’s bedroom.
B.Allow children to give out their personal information.
C.Encourage children to treat friends online sincerely.
D.Try to get in touch with children’s new “friends”.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Urge your son to introduce you to any new ‘friends’ he meets online...”可知,此处专家建议父母说服孩子把他的新朋友介绍给自己,也就是要尽量与孩子的新朋友取得联系。
2.What does the FBI suggest
A.Forbid the children to chat online.
B.Avoid checking the children’s email.
C.Monitor the children’s online accounts.
D.Provide comfortable family environment.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The FBI also recommends that parents maintain access to young kids’ online accounts and often check their email.”可知,联邦调查局建议父母要经常检查孩子们的邮件。由此可知,要监控孩子的上网账户。
3.The main purpose of the passage is to 　　　.
A.answer how to protect children from strangers online
B.describe children’s problems on making friends online
C.advise parents to prevent children from cheating online
D.stress the importance of keeping children’s online safety
答案A
解析推理判断题。由全文以及第一段最后两句“But I worry about him getting into trouble with strangers online.What can I do to protect him ”可知,这篇文章的主要目的是回答家长提出的关于孩子在网上与陌生人交流时如何保护孩子的问题。

Ⅴ.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。
Science can’t explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure(血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some,an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress(紧张) levels and blood pressure in people—half of them pet owners—while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(心算) or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more released (放松) around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog
not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs who were put on diet-and-exercise programs;a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about 11 pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12 pounds,more than 15% of their body weight.Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say researchers,got more exercise overall—mostly with their dogs—and found it worth doing.

Healthy relationships allow you to express your individuality,bring out the best in both of you,and encourage growth.Especially if you are in a new relationship,it’s best to set a foundation for a positive and healthy relationship from the start.There are two pieces of advice on it.
The first one,speak up.Don’t expect your partner to be able to read your mind or “figure it out”.If you have a need or want to express something,you need to communicate it yourself.It’s not fair to you or your partner when you don’t communicate your needs.Likewise,don’t hold in the things that bother you.If you don’t know how to start a conversation,say,“There’s something on my mind and I’d like it if you listened.” You can also say,“Something is bothering me and I feel like we should talk about it.”
The second one,listen intently.Part of a healthy relationship is knowing when to talk and when to listen.Develop your listening skills by not interrupting and letting your partner finish their thoughts and feelings.Truly listen,and don’t try to come up with a response while your partner is talking.Use active listening skills by reflecting the content and emotions of what your partner is saying.
17.What is the speaker talking about
A.How to build a healthy relationship.
B.How to read others’ mind.
C.How to develop your listening skills.
答案A
18.How many suggestions are referred to
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four.
答案A
19.What isn’t referred to in the passage

主题语境:人与自我　体裁:记叙文
Katherine Johnson,a brilliant mathematician at NASA (美国宇航局),began working on the space program in the 1950s.Many of NASA’s first missions were made possible by her amazing calculations(计算).
As a child,she loved to count.Her father placed great importance on education and insisted all four of his children go to college,working overtime to pay for it.Johnson said this atmosphere was important to her success.“I was always around people who were learning something.I liked to learn,” she said.
Johnson graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18.In 1953,Johnson started to work for NASA,doing the math that powered engineers’ work.Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects.In 1961,with the help of Johnson’s work,Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space.Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13,which had trouble getting back to earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts.
Johnson retired in 1986,but her huge contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years.Part of that is because,as she is the first to admit,science is based on collaboration.“I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 interview.
Earlier this year,NASA named a new data center after her.She was also given a Silver Snoopy award,which recognises “outstanding performance,contributing to flight safety and mission success.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了对NASA做出杰出贡献的女科学家Katherine Johnson。
21.The author explains Johnson’s help to NASA by 　　　.
A.giving reasons
B.showing numbers
C.providing examples
D.comparing differences
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects...which had trouble getting back to earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts.”可知,作者列举了两个例子:1961年,在约翰逊的帮助下艾伦·谢泼德成为第一个进入太空的美国人;约翰逊还为阿波罗13号的成功返回地球贡献了她令人难以置信的天赋。通过这两个例子作者说明了约翰逊对NASA所做出的贡献很大,故选C项。
22.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean

24.What is the passage mainly about
A.Johnson’s great contribution to NASA.
B.Respectable awards honored to Johnson.
C.The importance of education for Johnson.
D.NASA’s achievements in exploring space.

Life can bring us down from time to time.At some point,you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour.As you try to find your way out of that bad situation,you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone who is in much deeper trouble than you,I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for.We all have our share of problems.But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided,then you should be content and happy.If you have a roof over your head,some decent (得体的) clothes to wear,enough food on the table,a comfortable place to sleep,clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices then you should be happy and grateful.Many people all around the world,especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason,as long as you are still alive,then everything material you have lost can be regained again.If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you,then be glad because true friends are hard to find.As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back,then you are a very fortunate person.Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.

I enjoyed English,biology,and chemistry at school,but which one should I choose to study at university I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi,a specialist in women’s diseases.She lived from 1901 to 1983.It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career,travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles.One of them caught my eye.It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies.She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean,healthy and free from sickness.Why did she write that Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice I looked carefully at the text and realised that it was intended for women in the countryside.Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girls’ education was always placed second to boys’.Was she so much cleverer than anyone else Further reading made me realise that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients.There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi,tired after a day’s work,went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her.I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered.By this time I was very excited.Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work It was still not too late for me to improve my studies,prepare for the university entrance examinations,and....

When it comes to the question how to encourage students to achieve success,teachers may offer different answers based on their own teaching experience.Here are some suggestions.
Post your expectations around the room.
If a student does not understand what teachers expect from him,he will have a much greater chance of failure.From the first day of class your expectations should be clear.Many teachers post their class rules for all to see.　36　 You can select posters with encouraging words that explain your expectations.
　37　
Make sure that you do not show any biases (偏见) towards students’ learning.If you believe that the students in your class can’t learn a subject well,they probably won’t.　38　 Be careful about the words you use and make sure that you don’t make students feel that you doubt their abilities.You must believe strongly and sincerely that your students can and will learn what you are teaching them.
Allow students the space to learn on their own.
　39　 While you can provide guidance,as the year goes on,you should pull back and give them more responsibility for their own learning.You should avoid jumping right in and helping students by simply providing them with the answers to their questions.　40　
A.Pay special attention to slower students.
B.Have a right attitude to students’ abilities.
C.It is also a great idea to put up your expectations.
D.A healthy teacher-parent relationship is necessary.
E.The way a teacher treats students is very important.
F.Students need to learn to become self-directed learners.
G.Instead,lead students to find the answers by themselves.

37.B　根据本段的“...do not show any biases towards students’ learning”和“...make sure that you don’t make students feel that you doubt their abilities”可知,本段提到不要对学生的学习有偏见,不要表现出对学生的不信任。由此可以推知,本段的主旨是老师要对学生的能力持正确的态度。
38.E　上一句提到“如果你不相信你班的学生可以学好一门课,那么他们很可能真的学不好”。由此可知,老师对待学生的态度很重要。
39.F　本段的主旨是老师应该给学生留出自主学习的空间。选项 F中的 become self-directed learners 符合本段主旨。
40.G　上一句指出了老师们的错误做法:老师不应该介入学生的学习,直接告诉他们问题的答案。空格处应该说明老师们正确的做法:老师应该引导学生,让学生自己去寻找答案。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要叙述了一个男孩追赶公交车归还别人丢失的手提箱的故事。
56.being　考查非谓语动词。空格前面是介词about, 后面的动词应使用v.-ing形式, 因此应填being。
57.and　考查前后句的语意逻辑关系。结合前后句可知, 此处是并列关系, 故填并列连词and。
58.disappointed　考查词性转换之动词变为形容词。本句的主语是some of them, 此处and连接两个并列成分, 再结合前面的形容词anxious可知, 此处也应该填一个形容词。故此处用disappointed表示他们中有些人感到失望。
59.to　考查固定短语中的介词。此处是一个固定短语next to, 意为“挨着”。
60.caught　考查时态。结合上下文的时态, 全文以一般过去时为主, 同时分析句意“一个骑自行车的男孩儿吸引了我的注意”可知, 应填caught。
61.to stop　考查非谓语动词。refuse后接动词作宾语时, 要用其不定式形式, 即refuse to do sth.“拒绝做某事”。
62.riding　考查非谓语动词。根据空格前面的kept可知, 此处是keep doing sth.结构, 意为“继续做某事”。故后面应使用v.-ing形式, 因此需将ride变成riding。
63.Did　考查一般疑问句式的使用。分析语境, 此处指司机问“有人在上一站丢失手提箱吗 ”。这是一个问句, 同时丢失东西的动作已经发生, 应用一般过去时, 因此填Did。
64.me/mine　考查代词。此题答案不唯一, 要根据语境仔细揣摩。此处的It如果指前面的suitcase的话, 那么此空需要使用名词性物主代词mine, 表示“那个箱子是我的”;如果指前面的anyone的话, 那么此空需要用I的宾格形式me, 表示“是我在上一站丢失了手提箱”。
65.suddenly　考查词性转换之形容词变为副词。由空格后面的动词became可知, 此处应用sudden的副词形式来修饰动词, 因此填suddenly。

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。
One summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift—tennis rackets (球拍) and balls.We had never had the opportunity to play tennis,so this was exciting.However,there was one problem—the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said,“Hey,I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea!Let’s go,” I agreed,not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground,no one was around,so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building.“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time.We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball,getting more confident with each hit.Actually,we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.Suddenly,the unexpected thing happened—the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows,leaving lots of broken glass on the ground.We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly,I asked,“Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered,“no one saw us,except that old man down there.And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home,we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened.Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.









On Monday,my brother and I went to school.

But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.As we were about to tell Mom what had happened,she asked first.Gathering the courage,we told her.“Oh,my goodness!” my mother said.After a short while,Dad came up and said,“Well,the first thing on Monday,you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake.You will probably have to pay for the window,but that is what you two should do.”
On Monday,my brother and I went to school.With our hearts beating wildly,we went to the headmaster and told the whole story.Smiling,he told us that he had known it from the school guard,and he was glad we were there.He said the school would repair the window,so we needn’t worry.“I am proud of you,” he continued.We felt proud too and learned it was good to be honest.
