1.A.high-paid　　 　　　　B.honourable

Ⅴ.七选五
　1　 You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here’s how.
Plan your time carefully.When planning your work,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First set your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying.　2　
A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television.When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.　3　 Listening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes,preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day and read that material.　4　 If you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test,so don’t be over worried.
　5　 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A.Maybe you are an average student.
B.This will help you understand the next class.
C.Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
F.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
G.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章关于如何成为优等生提出了几条建议。
1.A　下一句“You probably think you will never be a top student.”顺承选项A的话题;其中“never be a top student”与选项A中“an average student”语义相同。故选A项。
2.C　本段的主题是Plan your time carefully;下文建议合理计划时间,安排出学习与生活的时间;选项C中“set aside enough time for entertainment”与上一句中“set your time for eating,sleeping,dressing”都属于时间计划的内容。故选C项。
3.F　该段主题是Make good use of your time in class;选项F中“Take advantage of class time”和首句“Make good use of your time in class”是语义重现。故选F项。
4.B　选项B中this指代上一句中提到的“go over your notes,preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day and read that material”;其中“the next class”与空前的“the next day”中的“the next”是词汇复现。故选B项。
5.E　空后一句提到“You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.”,其中“many others”与选项E中“other methods”语义重现。故选E项。Unit 3Getting along with others

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times.You’ve made friends since childhood,but you still don’t know who your true friends are.Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive.A true friend always tells you the truth.It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship.It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
　　　　　
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice.It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you.Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble.You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend.A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding even if it isn’t his/her fault.We are all different people and we all make mistakes.A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.
【语篇解读】本文告诉我们如何判断一个朋友是否是真正的朋友。
1.What’s the best title for the third paragraph
　　　　　　　　　
A.Always happy for you.
B.Always there for you.
C.Always solve your problems.
D.Always remember your important days.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。第三段主要讲述当你有问题或困难时,真正的朋友会陪着你,倾听你的问题并给出建议,帮你解决问题。由此可知,B项适合做本段的小标题。
2.According to the passage,what will a true friend always do
A.Share the same interests with you.
B.Offer a solution to your problems in time.
C.Respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it.
D.Be a good listener and listen immediately to your troubles.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据Always respectful中的“A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.”可知,真正的朋友即使不同意也会尊重你的观点。
3.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A.To teach us how to make true friends.
B.To find out how long a friendship can last.
C.To introduce his experience in making friends.
D.To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend”可知,作者的写作意图是帮助我们辨别自己的朋友是否是真正的朋友。
B
When you choose a friend,you should be very careful.A good friend can help you study.You can have fun together and make each other happy.Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away.How do I know when I have found a good friend I look for certain qualities of character,especially understanding,honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling.He is not quick to judge.Instead,he tries to learn from others.He puts himself in the other person’s place,and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.He is also a good listener.
At the same time,however,a good friend is honest.He does not look for faults in others.He notices their good points.In short,good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on a good friend.If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there.If I need a favour,he will do his best to help me.If I am in trouble,he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.We should enjoy our lives,and we would enjoy our friendship.That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with.A good friend likes the same things I like.We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humour,too.He likes to laugh with me.That is how we share in the joy of being friends.And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable,honest,and understanding,I know I’ve found a friend!
【语篇解读】文章介绍了好朋友应该具备的几种品质,并对各种品质进行了详细说明。
4.If you have fair weather friends,　　　.
　　　　　 　　　　　 　　　　
A.you will become rich
B.you can be sure that you get real friends
C.they will give you all that they have when you need help
D.you will be refused when you get into trouble
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段第四、五句内容可推断,这样的朋友在你遇到困难时会离你而去,故选D项。
5.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend
A.Honesty.
B.Reliability.
C.Understanding.
D.A sense of humour.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.”可知,作者认为理解是最重要的。故选C项。
6.This passage mainly discusses 　　　.
A.the qualities of a friend
B.where to choose friends
C.how to get along with friends
D.the importance of having a friend
答案A
解析主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,文章属于总分式结构,主要分析好朋友究竟应该具有什么样的品质。故选A项。
Ⅳ.七选五
(2021全国Ⅰ卷)
According to Jessica Hagy,author of How to Be Interesting,it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
　1　,if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”,you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to.　2　,it can bring in “I have this old,broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
　3　 If you can’t take their wine away,you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台).If you’re the host,you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.　4　.
And what about that other dinner-party killer:awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party,the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).　5　.Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here ”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在晚餐聚餐时如何做一个有趣的人,给出了几点建议。全文为典型的总分总结构。
1.B　此句为主旨句。第一段总起,指出文章的中心思想。本段紧随其后,提出第一条建议。故选B项。
2.C　此句为细节句。下文提到骑车或者坐公共汽车,可知接下来要问的问题是“你怎么来的 ”。故选C项。
3.F　此句为主旨句。下文说的是:“如果你拿不走他们的酒,就拿走他们的讲台。”可知这里是问“万一碰到喝多酒的人或者不停说话的人怎么办 ”。故选F项。
4.E　此句为细节句。上句是应对醉酒或者喋喋不休的人的第一种解决办法。这里是第二种解决办法:或者把对话变成一个他们没什么可说的话题。故选E项。
5.G　此句为过渡句。上句提到如果出现尴尬的沉默,可以通过赞扬主人来缓解尴尬氛围。因此接下来应选择过渡句“她/他(主人)是受尴尬影响最重的人”。故选G项。Section C　Extended reading,Project,Assessment & Further study

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Life affects (影响) friendships.As we grow,marry,fight in wars,move across the country or change jobs,old friendships fall away and new ones form.As long as we live,the things around us change,and as long as things change,friendships are affected.
When we were children,we had best friends.No matter what happened we were still friends.We live our lives,however,and do what life calls for us to do,and as we get older,memories fade,faces blur,and even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten.
Do you have a question about friendship Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly Perhaps you will say that you can’t control others.If someone wants to be your friend,it is their choice.All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them.Then you wish them well when they leave.
You can talk to old timers (老前辈) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow,and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the pain will be gone.Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.Sometimes when they go,it will hurt,but you will be okay with it.It’s the way life works,after all.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲了随着时间的推移,友谊也会受到影响。想要维持好友谊就需要善待你的朋友。但是友谊来了,友谊去了,是时间规律使然,这就是生活。
1.What doe the text tell us about friendship
A.It may change with time.
B.It affects our life deeply.
C.It is easy to build a friendship.
D.It is wrong to forget a friend.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“As long as we live,the things around us change,and as long as things change,friendships are affected.”以及最后一段的“Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.”可知,友谊可能随着时间而改变。故选A项。
2.What does the underlined word “blur” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Get recognized more easily.
B.Become less clear.
C.Turn less attractive.
D.Grow more beautiful.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据第二段的“We live our lives,however,and do what life calls for us to do,and as we get older,memories fade,faces blur,and even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten.”可知,“memories fade,faces blur”都是由主谓结构构成的简单句,再结合“even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten”可知,随着年龄的增长,记忆消失,面孔模糊,blur和前文fade语义相关,故这里的blur意为“使……模糊不清”,相当于become less clear,故选B项。
3.What may be the author’s advice on friendship
A.Make good choices about friends.
B.Stop old friends from leaving.
C.Learn to accept new friends.
D.Take good care of friends.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段的“All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them.Then you wish them well when they leave.”可见,作者对友谊的建议是照顾好朋友。故选D项。
4.What do old timers and seniors have in common
A.They have a positive attitude to life.
B.They believe friends hurt each other.
C.They regard friendship as a treasure.
D.They stress the importance of memory.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段的“You can talk to old timers (老前辈) and they will tell you that life is full of joy and sorrow...Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older”可知,长辈们可能会告诉你,随着年龄的增长,你会学到更多的东西。有时友谊消失时会很痛,但你会好起来的,这就是生活。因此推断老前辈和长辈们都有积极的生活态度。故选A项。

Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis,and he was my cousin.By the age of 19,Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota.I wanted to be exactly like him.So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota,I was excited!
After planning the trip,we gathered clothes and supplies and began our great adventure.We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening.On our way to the campsite,Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains,saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally,after a long walk,we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting.Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper.After we gathered enough wood from the forest,he started the campfire using only stone and steel—no matches.For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef,wild rice and pea soup.I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough,we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day.We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow.Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent.He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire.Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log.The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent.Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped,but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire.I was abruptly awakened by Steve.Our tent was on fire.Frightened,I ran out of the tent immediately.The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside.Without any thought of endangering myself,I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake.Fortunately,we were not seriously hurt.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
Later,as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm,we considered our difficult situation.






Suddenly,we heard a noise in the forest.






参考范文
Later,as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm,we considered our difficult situation.Our campsite was in the deep of the forest really far away from the highway.We were in the middle of nowhere,wearing only underwear,with our supplies burnt into ashes,including our cellphones.Even Steve was unsure what to do next.The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly,we heard a noise in the forest.Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness.A jeep appeared.A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check.We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station,where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents.Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on,but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend and equal,rather than a younger cousin.Our friendship continues to this day.Section B　Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

1.used　考查非谓语动词。use和name有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式作定语。

3.himself　考查代词。teach oneself意为“自学”。

5.worked　考查时态。讲述过去发生的事情要用一般过去时。
6.was believed　考查语态。believe和主语O.Henry为动宾关系,所以用被动语态。
7.to write　考查非谓语动词。learn to do sth“学习做某事”。
8.and　考查连词。此处连接并列谓语,所以填and。

Today let’s talk about what to pay attention to if you plan to invite someone over to your house or if you are invited to a party.
When making an invitation,you should telephone friends,speak to friends yourself,or send out written notes.A written invitation should include the date,time,place,and a description of the occasion.
If you are invited to dinner at someone’s home,it is wise to arrive 10 minutes late.The host may need time to deal with many other things besides preparing the dinner.Although some people think it is welcome,it is not necessary to bring flowers or gifts when you are invited to lunch or dinner,except on special occasions,such as a birthday.If you want to bring something,it should be small and simple,such as a book,a box of candy or a bottle of wine.

Beaches are not only great for lying on and doing water sports,and in fact one of the best ways of enjoying them is a classic beach walk.Here at iWantSun.Co.Uk,we’ve been searching the globe to find you the world’s best and most glorious beach walks,and here’s our pick of the top ones.
The Footpath of the Gods,Amalfi Coast,Italy
The name says it all really and it is fantastic to walk along this wonderful mountain coastal path,which offers some of the most striking views on the planet.The path begins at the town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast.The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths,past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.
Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk,Australia
Sydney’s coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world.Here you have national parks,historic sites,steep cliffs,sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place.Sydney’s Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete.However,if you’re not up to doing the full walk,then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city.Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour,which takes in some top scenery.

Most of us lead unhealthy lives;we spend far too much sitting down.If in addition we are careless about our diets,our bodies will soon become loose and fatty and our systems will slow moving.There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution,noise,rushed meals and stress.But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils.The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other.While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park,they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling,walking,jogging and swimming.What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way,so slowly,that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good,except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape,through sport or gymnastics,you are still only half way to good health,because,according to the experts,you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation.It has to do with deep breathing,emptying your mind of all thoughts,meditation,and so on.Yoga,as practiced in the West,is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation.It seems ironical(讽刺性的),though,that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。现代社会,我们多数人的生活方式都不健康。是不是多运动,你就能更健康呢 作者经过反思之后发现,回归自然的生活方式才最健康。
24.Pollution,noise and stress are examples of 　　　.
A.causes of unfitness
B.bad features of living in cities
C.the things we can completely do away with
D.unavoidable things in town
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution,noise,rushed meals and stress.”可知,pollution,noise和stress是生活在城市一些不健康的、不太好的方面。
25.To be healthy we must 　　　.
A.keep fit and active
B.keep fit and learn to relax
C.be active and practice Yoga
D.have a sound mind
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第三段的“you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation”可知,光锻炼是不够的,还要注意心理保健。健康包括生理的和心理的(锻炼和心理放松)两个方面。故选B项。
26.Our forefathers were healthy because 　　　.
A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C.they spent most of the time out of doors
D.their environment was not polluted
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第三段的“physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.”可知,我们祖先的生活方式很健康,是因为他们的生活方式与锻炼和放松密切相关。故选A项。

C
I was given the book Running on Faith written by Jason Lester as a birthday gift last month.After I started reading,I really couldn’t keep my eyes off it.It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through obstacles to reach his goals.
Jason Lester is a disabled (残疾的) extreme athlete.When he was twelve years old,a fast car ran a red light and hit him.Then he was sent into the hospital with twenty broken bones.
However,Jason loved sports and he still wanted to be a good athlete.He began running and taking part in duathlons(铁人两项) in high school.Years later in 2004,he decided to start training for the Ironman,and has competed in many extreme races since then.In 2008,Jason became the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (320 miles of biking,swimming and running),and it led him to an ESPY award (奖项) for Best Male Athlete with a Disability in 2009.
If you are in a bad situation and don’t know what to do now,Running on Faith is a good book for you.If you love running and want to reach some race goals,this book is good for you,too.Anyway,this book is worth reading for everyone who loves reading and wants to turn dreams into reality.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者在Jason Lester写的Running on Faith一书中了解到:因为车祸而变残疾的Jason Lester通过坚持不懈的努力,最终成为一名优秀的运动员的故事。作者觉得很鼓舞人心,也想把这本书推荐给想把梦想变成现实的人阅读。

What are martial (武术的)arts and swordsmen like To most Chinese,the answer to this question can be found in the works of the novelist Jin Yong,whose real name was Zha Liangyong,died in Hong Kong,China,aged 94.The news soon spread all over.He inspired a generation,guiding them into the world of Wuxia,namely,swordsmen.
In his books,readers can learn about Chinese calligraphy(书法),painting,music,medicine and wine.He was the most successful writer in popularizing traditional Chinese culture.Chinese people had a deeply-rooted admiration for noble qualities and love for the country.So he won many people’s hearts.Many people are fond of watching films and TV dramas adapted from his books,which influenced many people’s personality and value.
Jin’s influence knew no national boundary.No matter in New York,Singapore or Vancouver,where there are Chinese,there are his readers.His death marks the end of an era for martial art novels.We can hardly expect to see other writers with such influence and artistic achievement as him.
In terms of writing technique,Jin borrowed from Western plays.Some of his plots were just like ancient Greek tragedy.For instance,in his Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (《天龙八部》),the hero was like a tragic figure in Greek mythology.Writers in the West created new worlds like the one in The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.If there is an imagined world in China,that is the world with martial arts and swordsmen Jin wrote for us.

If you have ever done competitive sports,you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.　36　 Here are a few ways to make sure that you’re ready for the first day.
　37　 Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it.Ask your coach,gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan.Besides,write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
Ask your coach if you aren’t sure what you need.New equipment can be expensive,so think about using some second-hand equipment if it’s available.Brothers,sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.　38　 You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice.If you are a returning player,take out all your equipment,try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
　39　 Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts.College players,coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps.Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate.Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season,doctors tend to be busy those times of the year.Therefore,set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.　40　
A.Set realistic goals.
B.You can also consider a sports camp.
C.Just make sure that it’s very clean and safe to use.
D.It’s also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.
E.Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.
F.Start by writing an exercise plan if you don’t have one.
G.That can give the doctor plenty of time to fill out your paperwork.

In a word,walking and eating 65.　　　　　　　 (proper) are two simple steps to be healthier.You’d better have a try.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了一些只需要在生活中做一点小小的改变,就能变得更健康的方法和建议。
56.requires　考查主谓一致和时态。句意:要想变得健康,你只需要在生活中做一点小小的改变。不定式作主语,谓语动词要用单数,且文章基本时态为一般现在时,故填requires。
57.be achieved　考查被动语态。句意:这可以通过在工作时走楼梯,步行购物,步行去吃午餐来实现。主语是动词表示的动作的承受者,因此可判断用被动语态;can是情态动词,后要跟动词原形,故填be achieved。
58.to change　考查非谓语动词。句意:改变你对食物的态度也是个好主意。句中It作形式主语,后面应用不定式短语作真正的主语,故应用动词不定式to change。
59.eating　考查非谓语动词。句意:这是因为当你不开心的时候吃东西只会导致体重增加和健康问题的增加。分析句子结构可知,此处应用动词-ing形式作表语从句中的主语。故填eating。
60.problems　考查名词复数。problem为单数可数名词且其前没有限定词,故空处应用名词的复数形式problems。
61.a　考查冠词。walk作“(尤指为了锻炼或娱乐的)步行”讲时为可数名词,且发音以辅音音素开头,故空处填不定冠词a。
62.hungry　考查形容词。句意:更重要的是,饿了就吃正餐。根据上文you’re可知空处填形容词作表语,故填hungry。
63.from　考查介词。句意:尽量远离垃圾食品。短语stay away from“远离”,为固定用法。故填from。
64.that/which　考查定语从句。句意:相反,多吃新鲜水果或蔬菜以及其他能产生健康能量和优质热量的食物。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,且在定语从句中作主语,修饰先行词more fresh fruits or vegetables and other foods,故用that/which引导定语从句。
65.properly　考查副词。句意:散步和适当饮食是两个简单的步骤,以使健康。分析句子结构可知,空处应用副词修饰动词,故填properly。
第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(满分15分)

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 winter Sunday,my little sister,Colleen,and I built the greatest snowman ever.We gave him a carrot nose,beautiful hat,cozy scarf and gloves.He was a masterpiece(杰作).
The next morning when looking outside,we smiled lovingly at him over our meal.We gave him a high-five as we passed by on our way to school.A lot of kids went past our house,so he was the hot topic at our school that morning.It was our pride!
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home.But as our yard came into sight,we saw something wrong.The snowman was gone!We only found a broken stick here,a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere.Worst of all,the snowman’s once-proud carrot nose lay limp(无力的) and half-eaten.
What had happened We were both astonished and angry.But then,we were only kids,who wouldn’t have anything taking away our happiness.Actually we knew only one thing:Our snowman would rise again.And so we rebuilt him.
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn(草坪).For the rest of the week,the destruction was repeated daily.Each afternoon we’d return to find our snowman had fallen apart,and then we built again.
By Saturday morning,we had a plan.We borrowed a really big bucket(水桶) from mom,filled it with water and left it outside.The next morning,it was frozen solid.We packed snow all around the ice block as the base(底座) of the snowman.Then we built the other parts of it once again.The trap was set,and we waited for the snowman bullies(破坏者) to come.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
On Monday morning,hiding behind the window,we soon saw what we were waiting for.




Seeing their pained look,we couldn’t help laughing.





参考范文
On Monday morning,hiding behind the window,we soon saw what we were waiting for.It turned out that there were three of them from our school.They sneaked up on our snowman and sneered.Taking their places on either side,they pulled back their legs to deliver powerful kicks.But the moment they hit the hard ice block of the base,sneers turned into shock,then agony and tears.They howled and cursed,gritting their teeth and stomping their feet.
Seeing their pained look,we couldn’t help laughing.They were too funny as they hopped away holding their damaged feet.We just couldn’t contain our happiness and excitement.With a hearty laugh,we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from inside the house.“An eye for an eye!Justice done!” We yelled behind them.And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies.Ever since then,our snowman was kept guarded and intact until it happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories.第三单元测评

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
I think a close friend is someone you get on well with,who helps you when you have problems,who gives you advice,and who always has time for you.I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school because I was very shy,but now I have several.They are all girls.I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex.
—Marie
I think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time,and who you still get on with.They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together.I’ve got three close friends who I was at middle school with and we often go out together (without our parents of course).We often go camping,play football,or walk outside in the open air.
—David
I’m not sure how to answer the question because I don’t really have any close friends.I know a lot of people but mainly through work,and the social occasions when we meet are business dinners,things like that.I think if you come from a really close family,friends are a bit unnecessary.I like spending my free time with my family.
—Richard
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with.I go out at weekends with a group of people,and they are all my close friends.They’re also people who live near me.I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance because you need to be able to see each other often.But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things.I mean I’m at school but none of my friends are.
—Anna

My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿) school.I was only 14,and at first I missed my family a lot.I often called them and cried on the phone.But after two weeks,I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.I had many friends who were boys.I thought of them as my best friends—but only friends.I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then,three months later,my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them.Seven months after that,the head teacher Mr.Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union(学生会).I thought I could win,for I was doing well in school.I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams.A week later,the list came out and it didn’t include me.I was sad.
Mr.Wang came to me and said,“Don’t be sad.I know you’re excellent!Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class.They don’t know much about you,so some of them didn’t choose you.It doesn’t matter.Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen ” “When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it,as a friend Or did he envy my luck ” “And Paul,why didn’t I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car ” When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don’t think about it carefully,we will miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you,“You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly.But lucky dog There’s a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.But bringing in the dog puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important.It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says agree with the tone of voice His posture The look in his eyes Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

28.This passage is mainly about 　　　.
A.how to make friends
B.what to do when you listen to others talking
C.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D.why we go wrong with people sometimes
答案C
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段前三句可知,我们经常犯的错误都是关于人的错误。文章接下来告诉我们如何判断别人的言外之意。同时结合文章最后一段最后一句可知,本文主要告诉我们在与他人交往的过程中如何避免出现错误。
29.According to the author,the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that 　　　.
A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C.people usually state one thing but mean another
D.we tend to doubt what our friends say
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段前三句可知,人们所说的话会隐藏他们真实的含义,如果我们不仔细思考,我们可能理解不到说话人所表达的真实意思,这也是我们会和朋友产生误解的原因。
30.In the second paragraph,the underlined word “it” refers to 　　　.
A.being friendly
B.lucky dog
C.a bit of envy
D.your luck
答案C
解析代词指代题。根据上文“There’s a bit of envy in those words.”可知,在别人说你是幸运儿的时候,实际上是有点儿嫉妒的意味,但是说话人自己并没有感觉到这一点。由此推断,it指的是前句中的“a bit of envy”。
31.When we listen to a person talking,the most important thing for us to do is 　　　.
A.notice the way the person is talking
B.take a good look at the person talking
C.mind his tone,his posture and the look in his eyes

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son.Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(依偎) against me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what’s on their mind.“In fact,parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence,parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental(思想的) break,for children also need freedom,though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了孩子长大后和父母的关系越来越疏远,建议父母应该理解孩子。

A.keeps himself away from his parents
B.begins to dislike his parents
C.is always busy with his study
D.doesn’t want to be ignored
答案A
解析句意理解题。根据第一段“Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.”可知这句话的意思是孩子和父母比较疏远。选A项。
33.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that 　　　.
A.their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B.they don’t know what to say to their daughter
C.they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
D.their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
答案C
解析细节理解题。从第二段的句子“The problem is figuring out which time is which.”可知Tina 和 Mark不能确切地理解孩子的想法。选C项。
34.Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph
A.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
C.Teenagers do not understand their parents.
D.Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
答案B
解析句意理解题。从第三段的句子“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”可知the wall of silence指的是年轻人不愿和父母交流,选B项。
35.What can we learn from the passage
A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B.Parents have to talk with children face to face.
C.Parents shouldn’t be angry with teenagers.
D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
答案D
解析细节理解题。从最后一段的句子“parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.”可知作者认为父母应该理解孩子。选D项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s no doubt that when it comes to friendship,you want positive people in your life and not negative ones.　36　
Support when you need it.
With positive friends,you don’t need to beg for help when you need it because chances are they will be there for you without asking.　37　
Health benefits of being positive.
The more positive friends you have,the better you will be at remaining optimistic yourself.　38　 For example,it helps people to deal with stress and illness better.Health benefits may include lower rates of depression,a greater ability to throw off colds,and a reduced risk of developing disease.
Bring out the best in you.
　39　 This means trying new things,achieving goals,and having the kind of life you dreamed of for yourself.With positive people in your life,you’ll feel more comfortable sharing your goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life.
Attract More Positive Friends.
You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you.So if you’re a downer,you’ll probably find that negative people flock to you.　40　 The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude,the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return.
A.Here are some benefits of spending time with positive friends.
B.That’s why you’d better surround yourself with positive friends.
C.In most cases,they will go out of their way to help you when you’re in trouble.
D.The same is true for being positive.
E.As we all know,there are many benefits of being optimistic.
F.Your positive friends will inspire you to be the best you can be.
G.Most of the time,you have to ask them to help you when in trouble.

Joe and Della were a new couple.They were both interested in art—one in painting,the other in music.They lived in a small flat.They loved each other and they were happy.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.It is actually like a bottle of wine.The longer it 56.(keep),the sweeter it will be.It is also like a cup of tea.When we are thirsty,it will be our best 57.　　　　　(choose),but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves,it is also the most fragrant drink.
58.　　　　　,in this fast-developing modern society,the reality is not that.More and more people forget 59.　　　　　 (enjoy) the beauty of life and the beauty of friendship; they work hard in order to gain a 60.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。友谊就像一瓶酒,存放的时间越长就越甜。但注意不要过度依赖朋友,因为朋友像棉被,真正温暖你的还是你自己的体温。
56.is kept　考查动词时态和语态。后句使用将来时,前句相当于条件句,应用一般现在时。keep与主语it之间为动宾关系,需用被动语态。
57.choice　考查名词。形容词最高级best的后面要接名词,动词choose的名词是choice。
58.However　考查副词。根据句意可知第二段内容和第一段内容之间为转折关系,所以使用however。
59.to enjoy　考查非谓语动词。forget to do sth“忘记要做某事”;forget doing sth“忘记做过了某事”。
60.higher　考查形容词比较级。根据后文earn more money可知,此处也应该使用比较级higher。
61.it　考查代词。分析句子结构可知,it是宾语从句的形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式to find a better place in our lives。
62.to　考查介词。pay attention to是固定短语,意为“注意”。
63.staying　考查非谓语动词。句子主语we与动词stay构成主动关系,所以使用动词-ing形式在句中充当状语。
pletely　考查副词。在英语中,通常使用副词修饰动词、形容词或副词。
65.a　考查冠词。motto是一个可数名词,且以辅音音素开头,其前应用不定冠词a。

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。
The day was a special one for twelve-year-old Lydia.Her older sister Marcie was coming home from college for the summer.Lydia could hardly wait to go to the movies and to the swimming pool—the things they used to do together.
When Marcie walked in the door,the sisters greeted each other with a warm hug.Lydia hoped to hear all about Marcie’s college experiences while they made pizza that night.Unfortunately Marcie had made other plans.Though disappointed,Lydia was sure that they would do something together the next day.
At breakfast the next morning,Lydia asked Marcie to go shopping.Lydia wanted her sister to help her pick out some summer outfits and even offered to treat Marcie to lunch.Once again Marcie already had plans.“We’ll spend some time together tonight,” Marcie promised.Lydia rented a movie for the two of them to watch that night.However,when Marcie came home that afternoon,she informed Lydia that she had invited some friends over.Lydia pretended to be reading to hide the tears welling in her eyes.She did not want to begrudge Marcie a good time with her friends,but she missed her sister’s company.When Marcie’s friends arrived,Lydia was not her usual self.She intruded (打扰) into their conversation by making comments or asking questions that had nothing to do with their discussion.She sang loudly while Marcie was on the phone and even changed the channel while everyone was watching television.By the time Lydia’s bedtime arrived,she was feeling very ashamed.Marcie had not said anything about Lydia’s behaviour,but she looked hurt.
Over the next few days,Lydia was not able to find a good opportunity to apologize to her sister.When Marcie’s friends visited again,Lydia considered joining them in the backyard but decided not to.She was afraid she would aggravate the problem.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Desperate to be close to Marcie again,Lydia went into Marcie’s room and sat on her bed.






Lydia invited Marcie to sit beside her on the bed.One of Marcie’s old letters to Lydia that Lydia had been rereading fell to the floor.





参考范文
Desperate to be close to Marcie again,Lydia went into Marcie’s room and sat on her bed.She studied the photograph of the two smiling girls that was on the nightstand.Next to the picture,she noticed some letters and cards that she had sent to Marcie at school.The letters reminded Lydia of how much she had enjoyed writing to her big sister.She decided to write Marcie a letter apologizing for her behaviour and leave it on Marcie’s pillow.Later that night Lydia heard Marcie tell her friends good-bye and go into her room.Minutes later Marcie knocked on Lydia’s door.“I’m the one who should be apologizing,” Marcie said as she gave a glance.“I’m sorry that I’ve been so selfish.I didn’t realize how much I had hurt your feelings.”
Lydia invited Marcie to sit beside her on the bed.One of Marcie’s old letters to Lydia that Lydia had been rereading fell to the floor. Marcie picked it up and smiled.“At school I read your letters over and over,too.They helped me bear being away from home.”Marcie and Lydia hugged each other.“Let’s make some popcorn and then watch a movie,” Marcie suggested.Lydia hurried towards the kitchen,knocking the rest of the letters off the bed.Marcie smiled and followed Lydia,remembering how much she had missed her best friend—her little sister.Section C　Extended reading,Project,Assessment & Further study

Advice for High School Students
As a person who is graduating from high school very soon,I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students.　1　 I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.
　2　 Do not value first impressions highly.Don’t dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression.You will miss many opportunities because of that.Although something seems bad at the first impression,it does not mean it is bad all the time.Try to give everything a fair chance.
Don’t try to please everybody.There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you.　3　 It is a huge waste of time.
Have respect for authority.No matter how much you may dislike them,just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs.　4　 Don’t argue with them and just obey them.
Realise a high school is not the real world.The real world isn’t a closed environment.　5　 What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world.If high school isn’t working out for you,you may find yourself better at handling the real world.
A.Do not be too quick to judge.
B.So just learn to say the word “No” a lot.
C.Listen to their advice and consider it carefully.
D.Many of these are based on regrets that I have.
E.Bad habits are hard to break and remain with you for a long time.
F.Don’t spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.
G.It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college.For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom,and knowing his father could well afford it,he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached,the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.Finally,on the morning of his graduation,his father called him into his private study.His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son,and told him how much he loved him.He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.Curious,but somewhat disappointed,the young man opened the box and found a lovely,leather-bound book,with the young man’s name embossed in gold.
Angrily,he raised his voice to his father and said,“With all your money you give me a book ” He then stormed out of the house,leaving the book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family,but realising his father was very old,he thought perhaps he should go to see him.He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could make the arrangements,he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away,and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to come home immediately and take care of the things.
When he arrived at his father’s house,sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new book,just as he had left it years ago.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Eat less and exercise more—it has long been a magic word for reducing extra weight.But now it seems that all the hard work may have been useless.
Scientists say there are ten other reasons why people just keep getting bigger.They say that sleeping habits,central heating,medicines and even some pollutants can play a role in weight gain.
Traditionally,people have focused on diet and exercise to solve the problem.However,the scientists from top US and Canadian universities say that other things must be considered.
Less sleep could be partly the reason.In recent years,the average night’s sleep has dropped from nine hours to just seven.Sleep shortage changes levels of the hormones(激素) that control food intake and body fat and increase hunger and appetite.If it is too hot or too cold,we burn calories to cool down or heat up.But if the temperature is just right,the calories may be turned into body fat instead.
Those who take medicine to control their blood pressure can often put on weight.Similarly,studies have shown that going on taking the pills can add to a woman’s weight.
The nature of a mother may also be the reason,with our body shape partly inherited(经遗传获得).The overweight are also more likely to look for partners of a similar size.And their children are more likely to be overweight.
And the use of pollutants is on the rise,say the researchers.The man-made chemicals can lead to weight gain.
Your mother’s age and your weight at birth are also important,with older women more likely to have overweight children and underweight babies having a better chance of being overweight in later life.
We also tend to put on weight as we get older.Giving up smoking can also help pile on the pounds.
The scientists from Yale,Cornell and Johns Hopkins University said there was some evidence supporting poor diet and lack of exercise as the main causes of gaining weight.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。“少吃多运动”一直是公认的减肥方法。但科学家发现,还有其他十个原因可以解释人们为什么不停地变胖。本文就这一问题展开了论述。
1.Which is commonly thought to be effective in losing weight
A.To keep away from pollutants.
B.To take pills and avoid fatty food.
C.To sleep less to burn more calories.
D.To have less food and take more exercise.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Eat less and exercise more—it has long been a magic word for reducing extra weight.”可知,少吃多运动是人们普遍认为有效的减肥方法。故选D项。
2.Which of the following doesn’t lead to an overweight problem
A.Regular and enough sleep.
B.Taking medicine to control blood pressure.
C.Not enough physical exercise.
D.Harmful man-made chemicals.
答案A
解析细节理解题。文章列出的肥胖原因有:睡眠不足、温度适宜、降血压药物的副作用、遗传因素、污染物和化学物质、妈妈的年龄和婴儿出生时的体重等。最后一段讲到肥胖的主要原因是不良的饮食和缺少锻炼。由此可见,选项B、C、D都是导致发胖的因素,而有规律的、充足的睡眠不会导致肥胖,故选A项。
3.Which of the following statements would the author agree to
A.Less sleep leads you to take in more food.
B.Unpleasant weather helps you to put on weight.
C.Overweight parents are not likely to have fat children.
D.Medicine for blood pressure helps you lose weight.
答案A
解析推理判断题。第四段第三句“Sleep shortage changes levels of the hormones (激素) that control food intake and body fat and increase hunger and appetite.”可知,睡眠不足会改变体内激素水平,导致摄入食物增加,造成肥胖。因此A项符合文中作者的观点。
4.What would a woman prefer to do to have healthy children
A.To have only one child.
B.To marry at an older age.
C.To marry a strong husband.
D.To have children at a younger age.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第八段“Your mother’s age and your weight at birth are also important,with older women more likely to have overweight children and underweight babies having a better chance of being overweight in later life.”可知,母亲的年龄和孩子的肥胖有关。高龄妈妈生产的婴儿容易肥胖。因此可推知,女性应趁年轻的时候生孩子,以避免孩子将来发胖,故选D项。

How to be strong and healthy
It is obvious that some students are neither in good health nor full of energy.Therefore,I’d like to offer some suggestions on how to be strong and healthy.
First of all,to get enough sleep,we’d better form the habit of early going to bed and early rising instead of staying up late.In addition,we ought to take more exercise and do more outdoor activities to strengthen our body.Last but not least,make sure we keep a balanced diet,which will be beneficial to us.
Follow these suggestions,and we will be strong and healthy and stay away from illnesses.
Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
If there’s one thing I can’t stand people saying,it’s,“I’m no good at anything...I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all.To me,everyone has at least one talent,and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find,it does exist.There was a time,of course,when I didn’t believe that.What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place back in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student.I was a funny-looking skinny little boy named Eugene Orowitz,who weighed barely 100 pounds.I was a good student,but as far as I was concerned,in just about every other department I was a loser.I desperately wanted to fit in,to be something and do something well.But I hadn’t found anything I was good at.One sunny afternoon,our gym class went out to the school’s running track.The teacher taught us all various track and field events.I was a loser in all of them.Then came the javelin (标枪).Suddenly something inside me began saying,“Try it!Try it!” I had to wait my turn,though,because several others wanted a break at the javelin too.Shy and scared,I watched them,trying not to look too eager.Finally,when everyone had had a chance to throw—the best throw going about 30 yards—I looked at the teacher.
“Hey,Orowitz,you want to try ” he asked.
Embarrassed,I looked down,but managed to nod my head.
“Well,come on then,” he said impatiently,and handed me the javelin.Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing.As I grasped the javelin in my hand,I was seized with a strange feeling—a new-found excitement.For some crazy reason,I was relaxed over what I was about to do,even though I’d never done it before.I raised the javelin over my head,took six quick steps and let the thing go.The same voice that had urged me into throwing it,now told me it was a good throw.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
I watched as the spear took off.My heart quickened






That night I took the javelin home with me.






参考范文
I watched as the spear took off.My heart quickened as I saw it continue to sail,30 yards out,then 40.As it went past the 50-yard mark,it was still going.For a minute nothing was said.Then someone whispered,“Holy cow!” and others began cheering.Nobody could believe what little Eugene Orowitz had just done.I took the javelin back to the gym teacher.“You keep the thing,” he said,still shaking his head in wonder.
That night I took the javelin home with me.The very next day I began practicing with it,and every day that summer—for six hours or more—I would throw it in a nearby schoolyard.By the time I was a member of the track team,all my practice paid off.I threw the javelin 211 feet that year,the best throw by any high school boy in the country.I feel strongly that we must keep our minds open;we can’t let ourselves be discouraged or depressed when the talent doesn’t readily appear.Unit 1Back to school

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school.Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school.Even if you know other freshmen(新生),you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen.How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation (训练) before school actually starts.These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the buildings and get to meet some of your teachers,but you also get to meet fellow freshmen.That way,when you show up on your first day of school,you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation,you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are.They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect.Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about.The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school,giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects.So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging.If you ever find your work too difficult,teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more after-school activities than middle school does,such as clubs,music and theater groups and sports teams.This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Middle school taught you the basics of academics,time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance.High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.

Physical education,or PE,isn’t required for all high school students.In some schools,it isn’t offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports.But as is known to all,doing sports is very important for an adult.Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy.Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better,helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症).Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around,such as video games and computer activities,means many teens don’t get their required exercise.PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Not doing sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases.An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN),students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance.Students from programs with no physical activity,who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。健康的饮食、适当的锻炼、充足的睡眠才是让你的身体充满活力的正确方法。
1.However　考查副词。根据空前的a problem 和空后的the good news可知,前后两句是转折关系。故填However。
2.is　考查主谓一致。句子主语是Healthy eating along with regular exercise,主语后有介词短语along with,谓语动词应该根据along with前面的主语进行变化,因此谓语单复数应根据healthy eating确定,动词-ing形式作主语,谓语动词用单数,故填is。
3.useless　考查形容词。句意:从长期来看,节食是无用的。be 动词后接形容词作表语,根据句意,应是“无用的”,故填useless。
4.skipping　考查固定短语。短语 fool sb into doing...意为“哄骗某人做……”,此处为被动形式be fooled into doing... 意为“被哄骗做……”,into 是介词,后接动词-ing形式作宾语。故填skipping。
5.that　考查定语从句。在定语从句中,先行词是不定代词something,在从句中作主语,只能用关系代词that引导定语从句。故填that。
6.peaceful　考查形容词。and是并列连词,连接两个并列的成分,根据后面的形容词relaxed可知,这里应该用peace的形容词形式,故填peaceful。
7.to concentrate　考查固定短语。短语the ability to do...表示“做……的能力”,后接不定式作定语,故填to concentrate。
8.for　考查固定短语。短语prepare sb for...意为“让某人为……做准备”,故填for。
9.loss　考查名词。所填词在句中作主语,应用lose的名词形式,故填loss。
10.will look　考查时态。在if引导的条件状语从句中,从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时。故填will look。模块综合测评

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science,one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never married,some worked with their husbands,and others raised large families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England,Mary Anning became one of the first women recognised for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old,Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons of several animals that no longer existed on earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891,a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911,this time for chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

B
My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) last summer.Suddenly,it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed—my mother became my child,and I became her mother.I became impatient,argued with her,once I even yelled at her.Gradually,I was used to this kind of life.Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better.I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.
My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings.That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients.When I visit her,feeling busy and tense,she reacts immediately,takes on my mood,and becomes nervous and negative.But when I appear cheerful and attentive,she is happy.This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.
I thought I was very tolerant(容忍的),but in reality,my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”.With my mother I can now really be tolerant.Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness(不得体).Eating out in restaurants,for example,is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice.Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend(冒犯) anyone,but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.
I have also learned that everything has special value.When my mother got sick,I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it.They are young and have enough going on with their education and starting their careers.I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter.The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling overwhelmed,but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative(主动地).They visit her often,play cards with her,and look at photo albums together with her.It shows me that it’s all worth it.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了作者的母亲得了老年痴呆症,作者从自己母亲生病这件事中所学到的一些东西以及自己做出的改变。
24.Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer’s patients
A.Curiosity about everything.
B.Sensitivity to others’ moods.
C.Fear of strange people.
D.Quick reaction.
答案B

A.concerned B.scared
C.embarrassed D.stressed
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据文章画线词后的句子“but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative”可知,画线词所在的句子意思是我的孩子们会在我觉得压力很大并且很忙的时候提供帮助。由此可以推断出 overwhelmed 是指 stressed(有压力的)。故选D项。
26.We can infer from the passage that 　　　.
A.the writer accepted the role change immediately
B.the writer only paid attention to her mother’s feelings
C.the writer has a great sense of responsibility
D.the daughters took over the responsibility to look after their grandmother
答案C

B.how I became more tolerant
C.what I have learned from my mother’s illness
D.why I am feeling overwhelmed
答案C
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.”、第二段中的“This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.” 、第三段中的“I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.”以及第四段中的“I have also learned that everything has special value.”可知,本文作者主要分享了从自己母亲生病这件事中所学到的一些东西以及自己做出的改变,故选C项。

Civita,the Dying Town
Some 120 kilometers north of Rome,street signs along the road tell drivers they’re bound for “the dying town” Civita di Bagnoregio.The village stands on a declining plateau(高原).It has gone through landslides(山体滑坡),earthquakes,and erosion (腐蚀) since humans’ first settlement about 2,500 years ago.Nowadays Civita has been reduced to only 90 by 150 meters.
In the Middle Ages,the size of the plateau was three times its size nowadays,and the population was over 3,000,yet the river surrounding Civita gradually made the town collapse from the bottom up.Since 1695,when a destructive earthquake took place in Civita,many people were forced to escape from their hometown,and the population there has never recovered.By the 1920s,there were merely 600 residents in the town.Currently,there are only about 10 residents.What a small population it has!
The survival of Civita is uncertain.However,as the news that the town was about to disappear started to widely spread,more and more people wanted to visit it.Now up to 10,000 people visit Civita per day.And there is doubt as to whether it is dying.The flood of people and money leads to natives longing for the rescue of the town.
Yet the actual situation in Civita is that there are no grocery stores,hardware,or convenience stores.People living there can only have access to a handful of restaurants and tourist shops.Besides,they have to get supplies through a narrow,300-meter-long bridge that connects them to the outside world.
Today,Civita is pursuing a UNESCO World Heritage designation,in order to earn official recognition of its landscape and adaptability to nature.Recently,the town presented a 242-page document to the UNESCO,hoping that it will help strengthen Civita’s role as a site of historical and cultural significance.Also,Civita’s UNESCO team plans to create tourist attractions in the surrounding towns.If Civita recovers successfully,other towns in the same situation could find a direction based on its experience.

Why should mankind explore space Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dangers.The danger exists,but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。人类为什么要进行太空探索 随着这一问题的提出,作者从人类天性的角度深入剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。

C.To introduce points for discussion.
D.To describe the conditions on Earth.
答案C

A.Humans are nature-born to do so.
B.Humans have the tendency to fight.
C.Humans may find new sources of food.
D.Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
答案A
解析细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.”和此段最后一句“Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.”可知,人类的基因决定了探索太空 的可能。A项正确。
34.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets

35.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage
A.Space exploration has created many wonders.
B.Space exploration provides the best value for money.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。伽利略出生于意大利,是一个天文学家、哲学家和物理学家。由于他巨大的成就,他被称为“现代天文学之父”。
56.scientific　考查形容词。修饰名词revolution用形容词形式。
57.achievements　考查名词的复数。
58.is considered　考查动词时态和被动语态。伽利略的成绩被认为是对亚里士多德成绩的突破。主语the work与consider之间是被动关系,且下文为一般现在时,因此填is considered。
59.particularly　考查副词。此空用副词作状语。
60.who/that　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的部分是定语从句,从句中缺少谓语动词experiment的主语,因此填who/that。
61.conclusion　考查名词。根据空前的his可知此空填名词。
62.to turn　考查非谓语动词。当中心词是序数词或者由序数词修饰的时候,其后的定语用不定式。
63.it　考查代词。此空it用作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式。
64.convinced　考查非谓语动词。convince意为“使某人相信”,此空表示伽利略发现使人们相信他的理论很难。people和convince之间是被动关系,因此填convinced。
65.to　考查介词。stick to是固定搭配,意为“坚持”。stick to one’s views“坚持某人的观点”。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
For many years,I had a recurring (重复出现的) dream.I was a little girl again,rushing about,trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry,you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying,mom!What did I do with my books ”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from.It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid,I loved everything about school.I loved books,teachers,tests and homework.Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma.That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15,I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费).My hope of getting a diploma was dead,or so I thought.Pretty soon,I married and had three children,and I thought,“There goes my diploma.”
Even so,I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda,our youngest child,had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees,which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom.I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret.I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day,I saw an advertisement in the newspaper for evening courses.“That’s the answer,” I said to myself.Linda always feels better in the evening,so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said,“Mrs Schantz,why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed,“There’s no way!I’m 55!” But he persisted,and before I knew what I had done,I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts.“This is only an experiment,” I warned him,but he just smiled.So,I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work.Anyway,my dream was still there in my heart.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
It was exciting to go to school again but




Linda and I saw each other through the time.





参考范文
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game.Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward,even if most of them were respectful and encouraging.During the day,I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do.In the evening,I was a hardworking student working on my courses.To my surprise,both Linda and I did very well in night school.I went back again the next semester,and my grades steadily improved.
Linda and I saw each other through the time.When I was down,Linda encouraged me.“Mom,you can’t quit now!” And when she was down,I encouraged her.I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us.But neither of us gave up.At last,I got my diploma.To my surprise,almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker,and I got a $3,000 college scholarship.The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.第一单元测评

Sharon,Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself.Besides,I don’t know what your middle school was like,but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night.It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank,Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day.You will probably love it.I know I did.You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!
Eddie,Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone.I suppose the best advice would be to just relax.The first couple of days can be a little bit hard,but things will become easier before you know it.
David,Aged 19
I’m not going to lie.The first day is kind of frightening.But you’ll get used to it.Don’t be afraid of anyone;upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid.Just take it easy.Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.After the first week it’s really not bad at all.Don’t worry.

(2021新高考Ⅰ卷)
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的) intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and “people skills.”Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities,but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients,while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support,the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视) on emotion by employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable,we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades,advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角) from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence,with its focus on both head and heart,may serve to point us in the right direction.

答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and ‘people skills.’”可知,许多人误以为情商就是一个人所必须具有的品质,比如性格、积极性、自信、情绪稳定、乐观和“人际交往能力”,而所罗列的这些品质都是积极的品质。故选D项。
25.Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2
A.To explain a rule.
B.To clarify a concept.
C.To present a fact.
D.To make a prediction.
答案B
解析推理判断题。第二段首先对情商这个概念进行了描述,然后列举了医生和骗子运用情商的例子,最后得出结论,一个高情商的人未必就是一个有道德的人。故选B项。
26.What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence
A.Favorable. B.Intolerant.
C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.
答案A
解析观点态度题。根据第三段第一句可推断,作者认为,情商的普及好处比坏处多。显然,作者对此持有赞同的态度。故选A项。

A.Its appeal to the public.
B.Expectations for future studies.
C.Its practical application.
D.Scientists with new perspectives.

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts.Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925,we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape.Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.But his boss told him not to think more about the idea.Finally,using his own time,Drew improved the tape,which now is used everywhere by many people.And his former company learned from its mistake.Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with,nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence.The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively.Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately,schools have not tried to encourage creativity.With strong attention to test results and the development of reading,writing and mathematical skills,many educators give up creativity for correct answers.The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations.They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices.From the earliest age,children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results.Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch,decision-making helps thinking skills.As children grow older,parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money.This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学校和父母如何鼓励孩子提高创造力。
28.What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A.It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B.People should be discouraged to think freely.
C.People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D.It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段“Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.”可知,德鲁曾经工作的公司从错误中学到了鼓励人们花一些工作时间考虑和改进新想法。故选D项。
29.What can we know from the passage about creativity
A.It is something that most people are born with.
B.It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C.It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D.It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.”可知,创造力是一种利用已拥有的资源解决新问题的方法。故选C项。
30.Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A.They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B.They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C.They pay no attention to examination marks.
D.They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第四段“Unfortunately,schools have not tried to encourage creativity.With strong attention to test results and the development of reading,writing and mathematical skills,many educators give up creativity for correct answers.”可知学校不鼓励创造力,它们不重视创造性教育。故选A项。
31.What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A.Allow them to have a try.
B.Try to help them as much as possible.
C.Take no notice of whatever they do.
D.Order them to spend the least money.
答案A

What are American high schools like Well,I’m happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here,it had already been a week since the school opened.At this school,freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad.I wished I’d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment,however,I gradually adapted to my new life and school.There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates,the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.Around the space,there are many lockers for students to leave their books in,so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively.For example,my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time.We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality (道德) more than their academic studies.For example,if you do not finish your homework,you will just be asked to do it later,but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well,but compared to Chinese students,they can make learning a more joyful experience.I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国中学的情况, 并提及了美国学校和中国学校的不同之处。
32.What made the writer sad at the beginning
A.Being late for school.
B.Not knowing anyone.
C.Being looked down upon.
D.Missing the chance of the trip.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip...know my classmates.”可知,错过了那次旅行意味着错失了认识同学的最好时机,所以作者感到伤心,D项符合题意。
33.Students go to the basement of the teaching building to 　　　.
A.have a free talk
B.attend class
C.meet teachers
D.share a classroom
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other...Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.”可知,学生们到教学楼的地下室是为了聊天交友。故选A项。
34.How did the writer feel when he began his lessons
A.Happy. B.Surprised.
C.Unsatisfied. D.Lonely.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.”可知,上课几乎不用教科书,这让作者有点惊讶。故选B项。
35.What might stop a student’s schooling in American schools
A.Not studying hard.
B.Cheating.
C.Not finishing homework.
D.Failing in the exam.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“...but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out”可知,如果你作弊或说谎,你会得到警告甚至被学校开除。故选B项。

When I first entered university,my aunt,who is an English professor,gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it.I was 　41　 to see that it was an English-English dictionary,also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary.Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners,none of my classmates had one and,to be honest,I found it extremely 　42　 to use at first.I would 　43　 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings.I was used to the 　44　 English-Chinese dictionaries,in which the words are 　45　 both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 　46　 to make things so difficult for me.Now,I understand that monolingual dictionaries are　47　 in learning a foreign language.
As I 　48　,there is,in fact,often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 　49　 in two languages.My aunt even 　50　 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 　51　 meaning of the word in English!Therefore,she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 　52　 of its meaning.Gradually,I have come to see what she 　53　.
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) 　54　 number of words,around 2,000,in its definitions.When I read these definitions,I am 　55　exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.Because of this,I can express myself more easily in English.
【语篇解读】作者主要讲述了自己上大学时得到了第一本英英词典,开始使用时很不习惯,感觉用起来很困难,但随着自己的英语水平不断提高,作者逐渐感觉到使用英英词典让自己受益匪浅。
41.A.worried B.sad
C.surprised D.nervous
答案C
解析考查形容词及语境理解。worried“焦虑的”;sad“伤心的”;surprised“吃惊的”;nervous“紧张的”。从下文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,尽管这本词典是专为非英语母语的学习者设计的,但作者及其同学从前从没用过这样的词典,所以当作者看到英英词典的时候,他感到“吃惊的”。故选C项。
42.A.difficult B.interesting
C.important D.practical
答案A
解析考查形容词及语境理解。difficult“困难的”;interesting“有趣的”;important“重要的”;practical“实用的”。作者开始使用英英词典,不习惯,且下文“but still could not fully understand the meanings”提到并不能完全理解意思,应是感觉用起来“很难difficult”。故选A项。
43.A.look over B.look up
C.take down D.take up
答案B
解析考查动词短语及语境理解。look over “检查”;look up “查阅”;take down “拆开”;take up “从事;占据”。句意为:“我会在字典中查阅词汇。”故选B项。
44.A.new B.familiar
C.informed D.confusing
答案B
解析考查形容词及语境理解。new“新的”;familiar“熟悉的”;informed“有学问的”;confusing “令人困惑的”。be used to表示“习惯……”,根据语境可知,对作者来说应是习惯了“熟悉的”双语词典。故选B项。
45.A.explained B.expressed
C.described D.created
答案A
解析考查动词及语境理解。explain“解释”;express“表达”;describe“描述”;creat“创建”。此句是一个定语从句,根据常识:在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的,所以用explained。故选A项。
46.A.appreciation B.courage
C.advice D.power
答案C
解析考查名词及语境理解。appreciation “欣赏;鉴赏”;courage “勇气”;advice “建议”;power “力量”。根据语境可知,我过去纳闷姑妈为什么给这样的建议。故选C项。
47.A.more natural B.better
C.more convenient D.easier
答案B
解析考查形容词及语境理解。more natural“更自然的”;better“更好的”;more convenient“更方便的”;easier“更容易的”。此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较,better强调更好,更实用,故选B项。
48.A.checked out B.broke down
C.found out D.turned up
答案C
解析考查动词短语及语境理解。check out “检出;检查”;break down “崩溃;破坏”;find out “发现;查明”;turn up “出现”。正如我发现的,事实上,两种语言中的两个词之间往往没有完美的对应关系。故选C项。
49.A.words B.names
C.ideas D.characters
答案A
解析考查名词及语境理解。word“单词”;name“名字”;idea“想法”;character“特点;字符”。从下文的“姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语‘单词’的确切意思”可知,是“两种语言之间的两个单词没有完全的对应”。故选A项。
50.A.hoped B.declared
C.complained D.dreamt
答案B
解析考查动词及语境理解。hope“希望”;declare“声明”;complain“抱怨”;dream “做梦”。根据语境可知,我姑妈甚至还“声称”汉语的对应词决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。故选B项。
51.A.exact B.basic
C.translated D.expected
答案A
解析考查形容词及语境理解。exact“确切的”;basic“基本的”;translated“翻译的”;expected“期望的”。根据句意可知,姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的“确切”意思。故选A项。
52.A.understanding B.practice
C.expression D.consideration
答案A
解析考查名词及语境理解。understanding“理解”;practice“实践”;expression“表达”;consideration“考虑”。根据句意可知,姑妈坚持让我在想更好地理解某个单词的词义时,读英英词典的单词释义。故选A项。
53.A.wanted B.preferred
C.meant D.suffered
答案C
解析考查动词及语境理解。want “想要”;prefer “偏好;选择”;mean “意思;意味着”;suffer “忍受;患病”。我逐渐明白了她的意思。根据上文“she insisted that I read the definition of a word”可知是“意味着”。故选C项。
54.A.extra B.average
C.total D.limited
答案D
解析考查形容词及语境理解。extra“额外的”;average“平均的”;total“总的”;limited“有限的”。从后面的around 2,000可知,词典中用于解释词义的词量是有限的。故选D项。
55.A.repeatedly B.nearly
C.immediately D.anxiously
答案A
解析考查副词及语境理解。repeatedly“反复地”;nearly“将近”;immediately“立即”;anxiously“焦急地”。在有限的范围内,查阅释义的话,就会反复接触基本词汇并学会用这些词汇解释事物和观点,所以用repeatedly表示“反复地,经常地”。故选A项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了写日记对于提高英语写作水平有很大益处。
56.useful　考查形容词。修饰名词ways用形容词。useful ways “有用的方法”。
pared　考查固定短语。compared with“与……相比”,是固定用法,常在句子中作状语。
58.If　考查连词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处应用if引导条件状语从句。
59.ourselves　考查反身代词。express oneself“表达自己”,是固定短语,所以填反身代词ourselves。
60.the　考查冠词。first前用定冠词the。in the first place是固定短语,意为“首先”。
61.finding　考查固定句式。have trouble(in) doing sth“做某事有麻烦/困难”,是固定句式。
62.properly　考查副词。修饰动词短语put them into English应用副词。
63.suggestion　考查名词。空前有形容词性物主代词,所以要填名词suggestion;再由is可知要用单数形式。
64.troubles　考查时态和主谓一致。结合全文的基本时态可知,此处应用一般现在时;又因空处主语为不定代词something,故填troubles。
65.of　考查介词。“be of+名词”是固定用法,其意义相当于该名词的同根形容词;be of great use=be greatly/very useful。

Dear Wang Mei,
I’m very glad to have received your e-mail.Now I’m writing to give you some advice on how to learn English well in high school.
First of all,you should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes in class so that you can go over your lessons regularly after class.As we all know,vocabulary is of great importance.You should spend half an hour in the morning reciting words and reading texts aloud.What’s more,try to communicate with your classmates in English out of class.Last but not least,you should develop the habit of keeping a diary,which helps improve your written English and helps you review the words and expressions that you have learnt.
I hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
The end of my sophomore year was approaching.Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May.My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa on their farm.I wasn’t quite satisfied with the arrangement but guessed it was just one summer.Next year would be my little brother’s turn.
I arrived late that afternoon.Grandma had prepared more food than the three of us could possibly eat.However,the next morning,grandpa prepared breakfast for the two of us.He told me grandma tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed.I made up my mind to be of some help,not be a burden.
Weeks passed.I gradually got accustomed to the life there.In the evenings I usually read or talked with grandma.She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in.She told me stories about her childhood,family and the early years after she and grandpa had married.
The last Saturday in June,grandpa suggested going fishing.We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: One of the swans was dead.Grandpa had given the pair of swans to grandma on their 50th anniversary.“We can think of buying another one,” I suggested.Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.
He finally said,“No,it’s not that easy.You see,swans mate for life.There’s nothing we can do for the one that’s left.He has to work it out for himself.”
A few days later,we found the other swan lying near the same spot where we had found the first one.It,too,was dead.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
On July 12,grandma passed away,who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.





Life at college was busy but the days spent with grandma and grandpa often appeared in my mind.






参考范文
On July 12,grandma passed away,who had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.“Perhaps she had tired herself out and needed a permanent sleep,” grandpa said.After her funeral,grandpa said that he had made up his mind to live there himself and that we should get back to our own lives.Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others,and we all worried about him.When we said goodbye,I found there was something different about grandpa but couldn’t quite make it out.
Life at college was busy but the days spent with grandma and grandpa often appeared in my mind.How I wish to go fishing again with grandpa!But mom called me on a stormy October day to tell me grandpa had died,which made me in deep sorrow.Grandpa also died of a stroke,the same as grandma.At that moment,I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swans on that morning we fished together by the pond.第二单元测评

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.In around 8 A.D.,the Romans built the Colosseum,which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances,seating 50,000 people.However,that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus,which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days,safety regulations — not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world,we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far,which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional,still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang,D.P.R.Korea.Capacity:150,000.Opened:May 1,1989.
Michigan Stadium,Ann Arbor,Michigan,U.S.Capacity:107,601.Opened:October 1,1927.
Beaver Stadium,State College,Pennsylvania,U.S.Capacity:106,572.Opened:September 17,1960.
Ohio Stadium,Columbus,Ohio,U.S.Capacity:104,944.Opened:October 7,1922.
Kyle Field,College Station,Texas,U.S.Capacity:102,512.Opened:September 24,1927.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上几个最大的体育场的相关信息。

It is every kid’s worst nightmare(噩梦) and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it twice.First he lost his dad when he was only at the age of four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her deep sleep.
“I tried and I tried and I tried to get her awake,but...I just couldn’t,” said Jaden.
No one could imagine how heartbroken Jaden was.
But there’s another side to his sadness.Aside he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt,Barbara DiCola,and now his guardian(监护人) after both his parents died,that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time.And he had a plan to fix it.
“And that was the beginning of it,” said Barbara.“That’s where the adventure began.”
Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bunch of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah,Georgia near where he lives,so he could give them away to anyone who will smile to him.“I’m trying to make people smile,” said Jaden.
Jaden targets people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around.He’s gone out on four different occasions now and he is always successful.Even if sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the reaction he was hoping for.
It is just so overwhelming to some people that a six-year-old orphan would give away a toy—expecting nothing in return—except a smile.
“My goal will be 33,000 smiles.I’ve finished a third already,” said Jaden.When asked if he thinks he can make that goal,he answered,“I think I can.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。记叙了六岁的Jaden Hayes失去了自己的父母,由自己的阿姨照顾,这并没有阻止他让阿姨买来玩具并用这些玩具去让人们微笑。
24.What happened to Jaden when he was 6 years old
A.He had a nightmare one night.
B.His father died unexpectedly.
C.He lost both his mother and his father.
D.His mother died suddenly in her deep sleep.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段可知,Jaden 6岁时,他的母亲在熟睡中突然死去。故选D项。
25.Who is Barbara DiCola
A.She is Jaden’s new mother.
B.She is Jaden’s aunt and his guardian as well.
C.She is Jaden’s grandmother.
D.She is Jaden’s neighbour.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第四段的“Aside he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt,Barbara DiCola,and now his guardian after both his parents died,that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time.”可知,Barbara DiCola是Jaden的阿姨,也是他的监护人。故选B项。
26.Why did Jaden ask Barbara DiCola to buy him toys
A.To sell them to the people in Savannah,Georgia.
B.To make some money.
C.To help those who were in trouble.
D.To make people smile.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句“Jaden targets people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around.”可知,Jaden让Barbara DiCola给他买玩具是为了让人们微笑。故选D项。
27.Which of the following words can be used to describe Jaden
A.Caring and confident.
B.Rich and hopeful.
C.Pitiful and kind.
D.Hardworking and kind.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知,Jaden在六岁失去了母亲,很令人同情;以及倒数第三段的“Jaden targets people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around.”可知,Jaden让自己的阿姨给自己买玩具是为了让人们微笑,可知他非常善良。综上,故选C项。

Children should do housework.That’s a controversial idea,though not everyone will admit it.A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework.Many more of us assign housework,or say we believe in them,but the housework just doesn’t get done.
That’s a problem.For starters,housework is good for kids.Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others,while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.
One small study,done over a period of 25 years,found that the best predictor for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4.Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.
But for all that their help matters,few kids are doing much around the house at all.In a survey of 1,000 American adults,75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”.Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up,only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.
Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards.The goal,after all,is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose.Housework teaches that balance.
What should you do when getting children to do housework Accept no excuses.Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again.If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself,then you’re doing it right.Can an allowance help Maybe.But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home,paying them for routine housework is not the right message.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者认为孩子应该分担家务,这不仅有利于培养他们的责任心,而且能提升他们的幸福感。而且家务能够让孩子在家庭和社区中的关爱角色与他们选择的任何终身成就目标之间取得平衡,文章最后说明一些关于分配孩子做家务的建议。
28.What is most parents’ problem with children doing housework
A.They are against the idea.
B.They fail to put it into practice.
C.They doubt the possibility of it.
D.They are finding excuses for their children.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework.Many more of us assign housework,or say we believe in them,but the housework just doesn’t get done.”可知,对大多数父母来说,让孩子做家务存在的问题是他们没有把它付诸实践。故选B项。
29.Why does the author mention the small study
A.To state the reasons for early success.
B.To give examples of some successful people.
C.To prove doing housework is beneficial.
D.To suggest kids take responsibility for their behaviour.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”可知文章在第二段介绍了孩子做家务的好处,第三段用一项研究具体阐释了第二段的内容。可知作者提到研究是为了证明让孩子做家务是有益的。故选C项。
30.According to the survey of American adults,how many of them used to do housework as children
A.820. B.560.
C.750. D.440.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段的“In a survey of 1,000 American adults...Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up”可知,参与调查的1 000个人中,82%的人说自己成长过程中经常做家务,即有820人小时候常做家务。故选A项。
31.Why does the author write the last paragraph
A.To criticize some irresponsible parents.
B.To discuss the impact of a good family atmosphere.
C.To advise parents to spend more time with their kids.
D.To offer parents some advice on assigning children housework.
答案D
解析推理判断题。最后一段的首句“What should you do when getting children to do housework ”是本段的主题句,作者在本段就“如何让孩子参与到家务事中”向父母提供了建议。可知作者写的最后一段是给父母一些关于分配孩子做家务的建议。故选D项。
D
Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up.Actually it’s far from easy.Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like.Sometimes we feel trapped,sometimes we are fearful,and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever.When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude(态度),we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked.They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano.At that time I hated music,just because it was what they wanted me to do.But looking back now,I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons.Music has enriched my life in so many ways.I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along,not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life.They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying,so live life to its fullest!We are all going to experience growing pains,but they are just small pains in life.They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.The future is ours!A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone!If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(凸块)on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了一些爱父母的方法,如每天向父母问好;尊重他们并珍惜在一起的时刻;服从父母的要求,懂得原谅他们;陪伴他们。
36.C　根据上文“Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times,loving them is a normal part of life.”由此可知,本句承接上文,进一步论述孩子对父母的看法,上文中your parents可对应到C选项中them和they。C选项“你爱他们,因为他们生了你,养育了你”符合语境,故选C项。
37.G　根据上文“Remember that they brought you into this world.”由此可知,本句承接上文继续说明,是父母把我们带到了这个世界,也就是说如果没有父母,我们可能仍然徘徊在一个未知世界的一个未知角落。上文中world可对应到G选项中an unknown world。G选项“没有你的父母,你可能仍然徘徊在一个未知世界的一个未知角落”符合语境,故选G项。
38.D　根据上文“It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents.”以及后文“After this,share your feelings with your parents.”由此可知,本句属于过渡句,上文提到了和父母生气并没有帮助,后文提到了要和父母分享感受,由此可知,本句应当是在说明通过写下感受的方式来和父母沟通。后文中share your feelings可对应到D选项中write down your feelings。D选项“冷静地行动,写下你的感受,或与你的朋友交谈”符合语境,故选D项。
39.F　根据上文“It may seem as if you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want.”以及后文“Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.”由此可知,上文提到你没有得到自己想要的似乎很受罪,后文提到要理解父母,说明本句与上文构成转折,说明应当记住父母是在保护你、爱你,理解他们也是人,也会犯错。F选项“然而,你应该记住是你的父母爱你、保护你”符合语境,故选F项。
40.A　根据后文“Do things with your parents like watching TV,or go somewhere with them.Anyway,spend as much time with them as you can.”由此可知,本句为本段主旨句,结合后文和父母一起做事情,可推知是建议陪伴父母。A选项“陪伴他们”符合语境,故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
There are a few ways to improve math skills,however,which can make this subject less daunting(使人畏缩的).First,when doing math homework or other assignments(任务),it is important to take the time to work through each problem and try to understand the larger concepts(概念) that are related to it.Asking your math teacher for help is also necessary in some situations.What’s more,looking for ways to practice math in everyday life can be a good way to improve math skills.
Taking notes in class and completing homework as it is assigned are the best ways to improve math skills.When doing homework,it is important to check the answers and make sure that they are correct,or to go back through the assignments after they are returned to see where mistakes were made.Do not just look at the mistakes and move on;instead,see what was done incorrectly,and rework the problem correctly.This will help to enforce(加强) the concepts,and make them easier to use and understand in the future.
Some people will need extra help to improve math skills.Getting help from a one-on-one math tutor can be a great way to do this.If this is not possible,getting a study guide or a computer game designed to teach the math skills being taught can be of great help as well.Besides,computer games are fun for many people,and kids may be more likely to spend time in playing them and learning math skills at the same time.
Because practice and repetition is so important in this subject,another way to improve math skills is to look for ways to use math in everyday life.For example,trying to quickly figure out a restaurant tip or the change when checking out in a store is an excellent way to do this.It takes a large number of people much time to improve math skills,but it is important to be patient and stick with it,because many of these skills are very important in everyday situations,such as keeping track of finances and preparing income tax forms.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
The clothes you wear.The food you eat.The color of your bedroom walls.Where you go and how you get there.The people you hang around with.What time you go to bed.What do these things have in common You’re asking.They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid,you didn’t have a say in everything;your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal (麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas (睡衣) you wore at night.And it’s a good thing,too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally,kids grow up and become teens.And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—that is to separate from your parents’ control.But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions,your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).
In many families,it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments,because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe,no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions.It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles,though.
In the meantime,focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind,too,that your parents were teens once and that in most cases,they can relate to what you’re going through.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了父母与孩子之间发生冲突的原因并表达了自己的看法。
1.In the first two paragraphs,the writer 　　　.
A.complains that parents control kids too much
B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C.describes how carefully parents look after kids
D.explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.”和第二段中的“And it’s a good thing,too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.”可知,前两段主要列举了父母控制孩子日常生活的几个例子,作者认为这是好事,孩子本身就需要这份关爱。由此可知,前两段主要解释了父母控制孩子的必要性。故选D项。
2.Why does a lot of fighting break out between teens and parents
A.Parents aren’t used to losing control of teens.
B.Teens like to have everything decided.
C.Parents blame teens for not respecting them.
D.Teens are eager to develop their own identity.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions,your parents have a difficult time adjusting(调整).”及第四段中的“In many families,it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.”可知,当孩子逐渐长大,有个人决定的时候,父母很难适应这种变化。由此推知,青少年和父母之间经常发生争吵是因为父母不习惯失去对孩子的控制。故选A项。
3.Why do parents control teens in the writer’s opinion
A.To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B.To protect them from being hurt.
C.To make them respect parents in the family.
D.To make sure that children have a good future.
答案B
解析细节理解題。根据第四段中的“because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe,no matter how old you are.”可知,无论孩子多大,父母总是想要保护孩子,让他们不受到伤害。由此可知,父母控制青少年是为了保护他们不受伤害。故选B项。
4.What might be the most suitable title of the passage
A.What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B.How Do Parents Take Care of Children
C.How to Get Rid of Your Parents’ Control
D.Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much
答案D
解析主旨大意题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼,针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行了分析,并且表达了自己的看法。由此可知,D项“Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much ”适合做本文最佳标题。故选D项。
B
These devices were among the thousands featured at the year’s Consumer Electronics Show,a conference that brings industry experts together to share the latest and greatest in tech.
A food baby-friendly belt
College students are familiar with “food babies”,big stomachs caused by eating a little—okay,a lot—too much.This smart belt automatically adjusts to your stomach size.That’s right.When you overeat,Belty expands with your stomach.
“You’ll definitely know how many months into the pregnancy you are,” jokes Steve Greenberg,author of Gadget Nation,who just got back from CES.
If you don’t want to use Belty while pigging out,you can take advantage of its health-related features instead.Along with shifting size,Belty tracks food intake and exercise.It even vibrates(振动) if you’ve been inactive too long.
The Rocket Power characters’ dream product
Most students walk,bike or skate across campus.But with Rocketskates,which are electronic,motorized skates tied to your regular shoes,you can move very quickly.
The skate’s wheels,which are run by a microprocessor,get going when you lean forward and stop when you lean back.Top speed is 12 miles per hour,meaning you could leave your dorm at 7:56 and be on time for your 8:00 class.And you can carry them afterwards,since they’re lightweight.
A magical microwave
Most 3D printers turn plastic into 3D objects.But XYZ printing’s version turns flour and chocolate into cookies,cakes and candies.
The printer,which is about the same size as a traditional all-in-one version,is simple to use.You select a 3D food item from the company’s database of “recipes”,all of which have been approved by a food specialist.Within minutes,your food is ready.
The “why hasn’t someone invented this sooner” phone charger
Everyone knows college students are busy—mostly because we take every available opportunity to say so.
The Store Dot Flash Battery can’t solve scheduling issues for smart phones,but it does make life easier by completely charging them in one minute.
Doron Myersdorf,Store Dot CEO,calls the battery’s quick-charging time “ideal” for college students.He even visualizes free Store Dot stations on campus that would make carrying a charger unnecessary.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用说明文。消费电子展上展出了数以千计的特色设备,文中主要介绍了其中的四款神奇的新型电子产品。
5.Which of the following is true
A.The author believes college students are very busy.
B.Free Store Dot stations are available on campus now.
C.The Flash Battery charges a phone unbelievably quickly.
D.Doron Myersdorf is not satisfied with the Flash Battery.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据The “why hasn’t someone invented this sooner” phone charger部分中的第二段中的“...but it does make life easier by completely charging them in one minute.”可知,这种电池能在一分钟内给手机充满电,使生活更便利。
6.How does the new 3D printer differ from traditional versions
A.It is much smaller in size.
B.It turns flour and chocolate into 3D food.
C.It turns plastic into 3D objects.
D.It is operated by a food specialist.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据A magical microwave部分中的“Most 3D printers turn plastic into 3D objects.But XYZ printing’s version turns flour and chocolate into cookies,cakes and candies.”可知,大多数3D打印机将塑料转换成3D物品。但是XYZ打印机能把面粉和巧克力变成饼干、蛋糕和糖果。
7.Which of the following is true about Rocketskates
A.It is powered by your feet.
B.It can run as fast as a car.
C.You may start it by leaning forward.
D.It is too heavy to carry by hand.
答案C
解析细节理解题。由The Rocket Power characters’ dream product部分中的第二段内容可知,它由微处理器运行;朝前倾可动,后倾可停止;最高时速12英里,比不上汽车,但比较易于携带。由此可知A、B、D三项都是错误的。
8.What’s the main function of Belty
A.To track food intake and exercise.
B.To warn you it’s time to get up and exercise.
C.To predict how long a person has been pregnant.
D.To make your stomach comfortable by shifting size.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据A food baby-friendly belt部分中的第一段中的“This smart belt automatically adjusts to your stomach size.That’s right.When you overeat,Belty expands with your stomach.”可知,这个智能腰带能根据肚子的变化而调整,当你吃得过多时,腰带会随着肚子而变大。由此可知,这种腰带会随着你的肚子的大小而改变尺寸,从而让你的肚子更加舒服。
Ⅳ.七选五
You’ve decided your child is spoiled,and you want to do something about it.Is it too late Not necessarily.Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
　1　 You’ve spoiled your child by giving him or her too much for too little.You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behaviour is rewarded.　2　 For example,at first,insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack,and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don’t overreact (反应过度) to crying.When children don’t get what they want,their natural behaviour is to cry.If you react every time your child cries,you may be denying(拒绝给予) him or her an important chance to learn something.　3　
Prepare for a fight.At the beginning,children’s demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want.When it happens,be careful not to give in just because the child shouts.　4　
Stick with the program.Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes.　5　 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is adjusting (适应).Remember: give it time,and don’t give up.
A.Cut down on rewards.
B.That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
C.Start out making changes slowly.
D.Rather,wait until the child calms down.
E.Don’t try to reason with him or her about the situation.
F.There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G.As a parent,you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何纠正被宠坏的孩子的行为。
1.A　下文中的“by giving him or her too much”呼应A项中的Cut down,且下文中的“helping your child to learn...good behaviour is rewarded”和A项意思相符。 故选A项。
2.C　下文中的“gradually increase”呼应C项中的“making changes slowly”。
3.G　此处是对上文不过度回应孩子哭闹之后的正确做法的阐述,G项承接上文。
4.D　由本段小标题“Prepare for a fight”和“... not to give in just because the child shouts”可知,此处介绍正确做法,D项“等待孩子平静下来”符合语境。
5.B　上文中提到的“Your child will probably be upset”的状况也未必就是坏事,因为“It means...is adjusting (适应)”,B项符合语境。
Ⅴ.语篇填空
I have a lovely brother.He is 4 years younger than me.I still remember that day when he was born.He is 1. premature baby.When he was a little baby,he always used to cry for no reason and hardly slept.He never allowed me and my parents 2. (sleep) well.

(responsible) for our duties than before.And we know that no matter where we go in life,we both are always there for each other to face the hardships of life.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。虽然我和弟弟会有争执,但我们相亲相爱,共同分享生命中的苦与乐。
1.a　考查冠词。此处表示“一个”,且premature以辅音音素开头,所以用a。
2.to sleep　考查非谓语动词。allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”,故用to sleep。
3.became　考查动词时态。本文讲述的是过去的事情,用过去式,故用became。
4.him　考查代词。我对弟弟感到生气,故用him。
5.However　考查连词。从上下文看,这里是转折关系,我对弟弟感到生气,但是爸妈说弟弟比我小,要让着他,故用However。
6.learn　考查动词。make sb do让某人做某事,故用learn。
7.although/though　考查连词。虽然我们还是会有争执,但我们互相关爱,故用although或though。
8.interests　考查名词。根据下文的“like doing sports,singing and reading”,可知是有共同的爱好,故用interests。
9.caught　考查动词。主语与动词之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用caught。
10.more responsible　考查形容词比较级。根据下文的than可知用比较级,故用more responsible。Section B　Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

Ⅲ.阅读理解
When we are little,we do all kinds of foolish things,sometimes unwillingly and sometimes premeditated.And parents’ next behavior is to punish us and make sure that we won’t repeat that nonsense again.
Therefore,at an early age parents punish their children as follows:firstly,they don’t allow children to watch TV for a couple of days;secondly,parents don’t permit their children to go out and play with their friends;thirdly,children are given different tasks to do—they have to write something several times or they have to stay in the corner of the room,until parents decide to “free” them.
Moreover,when in their adolescence,children can receive other types of punishments.Most parents punish children by not giving them pocket money,which is the best form of punishment for them.Then,they forbid children to go out on weekends or return home after a certain hour.Don’t forget the fact that parents also refuse to give them food,which means that children have to prepare meals alone as they have no other choice.
Sometimes,these forms of punishments have positive results and children won’t repeat the bad things they have done.Anyway,if a child is used to doing nonsense things then all his or her parents’ punishments will be of no importance to him or her.He or she will carry out the punishment and after a short period of time will commit another one.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。父母往往通过各种形式的惩罚来对待犯错的孩子,以便他们不再做愚蠢的事情。有时候这些惩罚可以奏效,但是对于习惯犯错的孩子,这些惩罚只是权宜之计。
1.Which of the punishments doesn’t belong to an early age child
A.Can’t be allowed to watch TV for a few days.
B.Can’t be permitted to go out and play with friends.
C.Have to do all kinds of tasks.
D.Have to cook meals by himself or herself.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover,when in their adolescence,children can receive other types of punishments...which means that children have to prepare meals alone as they have no other choice.”可知,不得不自己做饭是对处于青春期的孩子的惩罚,不属于针对年幼儿童的惩罚,故选D项。
2.Which is the best form of punishment for a child in adolescence
A.Can’t get the pocket money.
B.Can’t go out on weekends.
C.Have to return home before a certain hour.
D.Can’t eat the meals prepared by parents.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“...punish children by not giving them pocket money,which is the best form of punishment for them.”可知,不能得到零用钱是对处于青春期的孩子最好的惩罚,故选A项。
3.From the last paragraph we can know the writer thinks 　　　.
A.the parents’ punishment is necessary for the children
B.all the punishments have positive results
C.parents shouldn’t punish their children all the time
D.sometimes the punishment isn’t important for the children
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段“Anyway,if a child is used to doing nonsense things then all his or her parents’ punishments will be of no importance to him or her.”可知作者在本段阐述了家长对孩子的惩罚有时候奏效,但是对于习惯犯错的孩子来说,这些惩罚根本不重要,故选D项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者经历过的事:自己对一位年轻人一点小小的帮助,成了作者生命中最满足的事情。
1.met　考查时态。句意:我曾经在回家的路上遇到一位看上去很累很痛苦的年轻人。由空白处前once可知时态应用一般过去时态。故填met。
2.whether/if　考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:他微笑着问我能否借给他一些钱。由语境可知,ask后接宾语从句,缺少表示“是否”的连接词。故填whether/if。
3.operation　考查名词。由空白处前的a(n)可知,设空处应填名词operation (手术)作for的宾语。故填operation。
4.of　考查介词。固定搭配:be full of 意为“充满……”。故填of。
5.to get　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,许多人玩诡计的目的是为了得到钱,所以要用不定式表目的。故填to get。
6.entirely　考查副词。由设空处后的单词convinced可知,空白处起修饰作用,因此用副词修饰动词,所以要用entirely,意为“完全地”。故填副词 entirely。
7.a　考查冠词。call作“打电话;通话”讲时,是可数名词,且在此表泛指,call首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
8.legs　考查名词复数。leg为可数名词,结合句意,此处指能够自己双腿站立,所以要用名词leg的复数形式表示双腿。故填legs。
9.surprised　考查过去分词作宾补。本句设空处作宾语me的补足语,说明me的状态;根据make sb adj.的结构可知,要填形容词surprised (感到惊讶的)。故填surprised。
10.cheated　考查过去分词作表语。由句意可知,他还钱的目的是让作者感到没有被欺骗,feel done表示“感到被……”,所以用cheat的过去分词形式cheated。故填cheated。
Ⅴ.书面表达
假定你是李华,你的美国朋友Peter计划来中国旅行,希望你为他推荐一座城市。请给他写一封邮件,内容包括:
1.推荐这座城市的理由(至少包含两点);
2.注意事项。

Ⅵ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was something in the elderly woman’s grace that caught my eye.Although slow and unsure of her steps,the woman moved with deliberation(从容),and there was no hesitation in her gestures.
It was a few years ago,and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall.From inside the store,I could see the people outside rushing by.
The elderly woman entered the store,along with her daughter,who was displaying a serious case of impatience,rolling her eyes,sighing and checking her watch every few seconds.I guessed if she had possessed a rope,she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf.After the slightest hesitation,I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother,who’d passed away the previous Christmas.I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store,I introduced its floor plan:old television shows,action movies,cartoons,science fiction.The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me,saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age.Unwillingly,I accompanied her to the cash register,realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register,I walked over to her daughter.






Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.







参考范文
As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register,I walked over to her daughter.“Mind some advice ” I asked.She rolled her eyes and said,“Of course not.” But clearly there was annoyance in her reply.I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing.“Cherish her and cherish every single moment you can stay with her,” I said,to her surprise.And then I answered her curious expression by saying,“When she’s gone,it’s these little moments that will come back to you.Moments like this.” Having finished saying this,I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation back to her daughter.
Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.They stood there for a moment,side by side,watching the rush of the holiday current and then looking at each other.Slowly,the daughter placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowd.Tears filled my eyes when I watched them disappearing in the crowd.

参考范文
A good parent-children relationship should be set up on understanding and respect.Parents cannot put their ideas on their children.They should treat their children as an independent individual.It is advisable for the parents to learn to listen to children’s ideas and encourage them to think on their own rather than decide everything for the children.
On the other hand,children should listen to their parents’ advice.Try to be understanding when there is disagreement with parents.Always keep one thing in mind—whatever they do comes from their love for us.It is necessary for children to exchange ideas with parents from time to time so that the gap between parents and children will be narrowed.
文化意识
There are some differences in parent-child relationships between China and America.In China,parents usually focus on the development of intelligence in the growth of children,and that is to say,Chinese parents put great importance on children’s study.By comparison,parents in the US generally will not put too much pressure on the children’s study and the parent-child relationship is more open and equal.Of course,different ways of education will produce different results.Both types of family education have certain advantages and disadvantages.And finally,the reasons for these differences mainly include historical and cultural background,thinking styles and values.
