　　As a kid in Milwaukee， Leonard Gigowski took the 6：30 bus every morning to get to St.Francis Minor Seminary， a Catholic high school that later became St.Thomas More High School.After some years in the Navy， Gigowski went on to become a butcher and a grocer.He never married — and he never forgot his life in St.Thomas More.Gigowski visited it regularly and sometimes would eat lunch with the students in the cafeteria.One time， he stood up and started singing the school cheer.His “kids”， as Gigowski called them， smiled and joined him.On his 90th birthday， in 2015， administrators （管理人员） arranged a surprise party for him.The kids sang “Happy Birthday”， and Gigowski led them in prayer.
　　Three months later came the news： Leonard Gigowski had passed away — and he’d left behind a $13 million scholarship fund for St.Thomas More.“I nearly fell off my chair，” Mary McIntosh， the school’s president， told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
　　Gigowski may have been humble， but he led a very full life.He was a great ballroom dancer — he had a dance floor in the basement of his modest suburban home.He also loved pigeon racing.He had a coop （笼子） in his yard and kept detailed records on each of his birds.“He told me he loved being around God’s creatures and taking care of them，” says his friend Jeff Korpal.
　　But the school was his passion.Larry Haskin， Gigowski’s friend and the lawyer who helped him set up the Leonard Gigowski Catholic Education Foundation， says there was no doubt that Gigowski had saved his money with the intention of donating as much as he could to the students of St.Thomas More.“He wanted to have the greatest impact possible on future generations，” Haskin says.“He felt he owed his long life to his education and deep faith， and he wanted to pass it on，” Korpal adds.

　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
　　But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a rather big deal.And one perfect example of this， is a neighbourhood lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
　　It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fundraiser to help raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children got busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend， and their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than $3，500 for the good cause.
　　But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it has been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in her fundraising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
　　As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised $220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and bigger.”
　　But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her neighbour Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
　　Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely incredible to celebrate this way.”
　　According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added， “As a parent， it really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted to support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it really helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money could really help save children.”
28.What does the author intend to show by giving the example of the kids？（　　）
A.Young kids can be better volunteers.
B.Charity should begin at a young age.
C.Small acts of kindness make a big difference.
D.A lemonade stand is a new choice for charity.
29.What led to the kids’ participating in fundraising？（　　）
A.Their friends’ proposal.
B.Their teachers’ encouragement.
C.The influence from Suzanne Miller.
D.The demand from the local hospital.
30.How did Suzanne Miller feel according to his Facebook post？（　　）
A.Moved and excited.
B.Proud and satisfied.
C.Grateful and delighted.
D.Surprised and confused.
31.Which is the most suitable title for the text？（　　）
A.Kids Start a Lemonade Stand to Raise for Charity
B.Mother Sells Lemonade Together with Her Kids
C.A Lemonade Stand Was Started by Some Kids
D.Selling Lemonade Is a New Way to Support Charity
D
　　“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five，” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted.“Your blood sugars are much too high.”
　　It consumed me.No matter where I was or what I was doing， it was overhead like a dark cloud.It was impossible to imagine a world without sight.
　　Painting was my passion.Losing myself in painting filled me with peace.Painting was my haven， the only place I could escape where those threatening words couldn’t reach me.
　　As fate would have it， the first bout of blindness came when I was twenty-one.My worst dream had just come true.I couldn’t breathe.Then the tears spilled.“No！ Not yet！ It’s too soon.”
　　Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday， I had a massive hemorrhage （大出血） in my left eye， my good eye.For the next twenty years， vision came and went.I went through numerous eye surgeries in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation， I lost the battle and all remaining vision.
　　Desperate， I enrolled in a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired （视力受损的）.I learned mobility， personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new world opened up to me through this program.
　　“Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind，” my instructor told me.“They change components of the Windows operating system into speech.”
　　“You mean I can use the Internet？ E-mail？ Microsoft with all its tools and features？” It’s amazing！ Hope soared for the first time in years.“That’s right，” my instructor said.“By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse， you can use Microsoft Access， Excel and Powerpoint.”
　　For the next several years， I learned that when one door closes， another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a speaking computer， but I have a speaking watch， alarm clock， calculator and glucometer to independently test my blood levels.
32.What was like a dark cloud over the author’s head？（　　）
A.An awful accident. B.A horrible memory.
C.A piece of bad news. D.A horrible experience.
33.What brought a turning point to the author？（　　）
A.A special course. B.A meaningful event.
C.An inspiring speech. D.An important person.
34.What does the underlined word “soared” in Paragraph 8 probably mean？（　　）
A.Rose quickly. B.Fell gradually.
C.Increased slowly. D.Disappeared suddenly.
35.What does the author intend to tell us by writing the text？（　　）
A.Everything is possible if we work hard.
B.Try to find new opportunities in despair.
C.Develop as many interests as possible.
D.Keep strong in the face of life difficulties.

　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　If you want to improve your relationship with Mom or Dad， try listening to them， just like you would listen to a friend.
　　Now， it may seem kind of strange to treat your parents as if they were normal people and all， but it’s worth trying.We’re always saying to our parents， “36.（　　）” But have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you don’t understand them？
　　They have pressures， too， you know？ While you’re worrying about your friends and your upcoming history test， they’re worrying about their bosses and how they’re going to pay for your education.Like you， sometimes they get offended at work and go in the restroom to cry.37.（　　） Your mom may have too much work stress to just sit down and relax at night.Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours because of the car he drives.They may have unfulfilled dreams they’ve had to sacrifice so that you can reach yours.38.（　　） They laugh， they cry， they get their feelings hurt， and they don’t always have their act together， just like me and you.
　　39.（　　） First， you’ll gain a greater respect for them.Second， if you take time to understand your parents， you’ll get your way much more often.If they feel that you understand them， they’ll be way more willing to listen to you， they’ll be more flexible， and they’ll trust you more.
　　40.（　　） Start by asking them some questions.When’s the last time you asked your mom or dad， “How was your day today？” or “Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there anything I could do to help around the house？”
A.You don’t understand me.
B.Hey， parents are people， too.
C.It’s important to get on well with your parents.
D.So how can you better understand your parents？
E.Jump into their shoes and think from their point of view.
F.They have days when they don’t know how they will pay the bills.
G.If you take time to listen to your parents， two incredible things will happen.

　　Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might have wished to be at home， but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off， but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person.
　　I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks， but it was a relief to get inside.
　　After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him，” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting， and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
　　Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket， pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two？” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me？” he said.
　　Later， Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare to ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all， really. But that was okay， especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.

　　Hello， everyone. Today our topic is charity. Do you know Oxfam？ It is a non-government organisation with over 3，000 partners in around 100 countries. Oxfam was originally founded in Oxford in 1942. During World War Ⅱ， a group of people in Oxford， England， organised Oxfam to send money to Greece. When the war was over， they continued to give money， food and clothing to other countries in Europe.
　　In the 1960s， Oxfam started working on long-term development in many countries. It aims to lift people out of hunger， poverty and disease. It wants to prevent problems instead of trying to solve them after they have occurred. However， it continues to provide food to the hungry， sick and homeless people around the world.
　　Oxfam believes that all humans share one world with limited resources. Rich and poor countries depend on each other.
　　Where does Oxfam get money？ Ordinary people in developed countries give money. Oxfam also has small shops. They sell beautiful things that villagers in developing countries make. Oxfam receives millions of dollars every year.

第二节
　　Suddenly， there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “This is for you and your family，” he said， “Merry Christmas！” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food！ Daddy read the letter from the envelope，“May you be happy！”
　　Mama and Daddy looked at each other， and she unpacked the food from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today，” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude， we had a happy Christmas. Not long after the festival， Daddy was called back to work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat， which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.

Hello， everyone. Today our topic is charity. Do you know
Oxfam？ It is a non-government organisation with over 3，000 partners in
around 100 countries. Oxfam was originally founded in Oxford in 1942.
During World War Ⅱ， a group of people in Oxford， England，
organised Oxfam to send money to Greece. When the war was over， they
continued to give money， food and clothing to other countries in Europe.
　　In the 1960s， Oxfam started working on long-term development in
many countries. It aims to lift people out of hunger， poverty and
disease. It wants to prevent problems instead of trying to solve them after
they have occurred. However， it continues to provide food to the
hungry， sick and homeless people around the world.
　　Oxfam believes that all humans share one world with limited
resources. Rich and poor countries depend on each other.
　　Where does Oxfam get money？ Ordinary people in developed
countries give money. Oxfam also has small shops. They sell beautiful
things that villagers in developing countries make. Oxfam receives
millions of dollars every year.

　　As a kid in Milwaukee， Leonard Gigowski took the 6：30 bus every
morning to get to St.Francis Minor Seminary， a Catholic high school that
later became St.Thomas More High School.After some years in the Navy， Gigowski went on to become a butcher and a grocer.He never married — and he never forgot his life in St.Thomas More.Gigowski visited it regularly and sometimes would eat lunch with the students in the cafeteria.One time， he stood up and started singing the school cheer.His “kids”， as Gigowski called them， smiled and joined him.On his 90th birthday， in 2015， administrators （管理人员） arranged a surprise party for him.The kids sang “Happy Birthday”， and Gigowski led them in prayer.
　　Three months later came the news： Leonard Gigowski had passed
away — and he’d left behind a $13 million scholarship fund for
St.Thomas More.“I nearly fell off my chair，” Mary McIntosh， the
school’s president， told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
　　Gigowski may have been humble， but he led a very full life.He was
a great ballroom dancer — he had a dance floor in the basement of his
modest suburban home.He also loved pigeon racing.He had a coop （笼
子） in his yard and kept detailed records on each of his birds.“He told
me he loved being around God’s creatures and taking care of them，”
says his friend Jeff Korpal.
　　But the school was his passion.Larry Haskin， Gigowski’s friend
and the lawyer who helped him set up the Leonard Gigowski Catholic
Education Foundation， says there was no doubt that Gigowski had saved
his money with the intention of donating as much as he could to the
students of St.Thomas More.“He wanted to have the greatest impact
possible on future generations，” Haskin says.“He felt he owed his
long life to his education and deep faith， and he wanted to pass it on，”
Korpal adds.

　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to
be a grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
　　But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a
rather big deal.And one perfect example of this， is a neighbourhood
lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
　　It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls
neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fundraiser to help
raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children
got busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend，
and their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than
$3，500 for the good cause.
　　But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it
has been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s
actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the
hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in
her fundraising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
　　As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised
$220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and
bigger.”
　　But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so
have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her
neighbour Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
　　Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that
our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my
run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely
incredible to celebrate this way.”
　　According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added， “As a parent， it
really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted
to support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it
really helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money
could really help save children.”

　　“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five，” a doctor at
Children’s Hospital predicted.“Your blood sugars are much too
high.”
　　It consumed me.No matter where I was or what I was doing， it was
overhead like a dark cloud.It was impossible to imagine a world without
sight.
　　Painting was my passion.Losing myself in painting filled me with
peace.Painting was my haven， the only place I could escape where those
threatening words couldn’t reach me.
　　As fate would have it， the first bout of blindness came when I was
twenty-one.My worst dream had just come true.I couldn’t breathe.Then
the tears spilled.“No！ Not yet！ It’s too soon.”
　　Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday， I had a
massive hemorrhage （大出血） in my left eye， my good eye.For the
next twenty years， vision came and went.I went through numerous eye
surgeries in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation， I
lost the battle and all remaining vision.
　　Desperate， I enrolled in a sixteen-week program for the blind and
visually impaired （视力受损的）.I learned mobility， personal
adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new
world opened up to me through this program.
　　“Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind，” my instructor
told me.“They change components of the Windows operating system into
speech.”
　　“You mean I can use the Internet？ E-mail？ Microsoft with all its
tools and features？” It’s amazing！ Hope soared for the first time in
years.“That’s right，” my instructor said.“By learning how to use
hot keys to control the mouse， you can use Microsoft Access， Excel and
Powerpoint.”
　　For the next several years， I learned that when one door closes，
another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and
visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a
speaking computer， but I have a speaking watch， alarm clock，
calculator and glucometer to independently test my blood levels.

　　If you want to improve your relationship with Mom or Dad， try
listening to them， just like you would listen to a friend.
　　Now， it may seem kind of strange to treat your parents as if they
were normal people and all， but it’s worth trying.We’re always
saying to our parents， “36.（　　）” But have you ever stopped to
consider that maybe you don’t understand them？
　　They have pressures， too， you know？ While you’re worrying
about your friends and your upcoming history test， they’re worrying
about their bosses and how they’re going to pay for your education.Like
you， sometimes they get offended at work and go in the restroom to
cry.37.（　　） Your mom may have too much work stress to just sit
down and relax at night.Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours
because of the car he drives.They may have unfulfilled dreams they’ve
had to sacrifice so that you can reach yours.38.（　　） They laugh，
they cry， they get their feelings hurt， and they don’t always have their
act together， just like me and you.
　　39. （　　） First， you’ll gain a greater respect for
them.Second， if you take time to understand your parents， you’ll get
your way much more often.If they feel that you understand them，
they’ll be way more willing to listen to you， they’ll be more
flexible， and they’ll trust you more.
　　40. （　　） Start by asking them some questions.When’s the last
time you asked your mom or dad， “How was your day today？” or
“Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there
anything I could do to help around the house？”
A. You don’t understand me.
B. Hey， parents are people， too.
C. It’s important to get on well with your parents.
D. So how can you better understand your parents？
E. Jump into their shoes and think from their point of view.
F. They have days when they don’t know how they will pay the bills.
G. If you take time to listen to your parents， two incredible things will
happen.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国闻名于世界的

56. originally　考查词形转换。本空后面是谓语动词built，因此这里
应用副词来修饰它。
57. was rebuilt　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。本句时间状语为
In the 17th century，且表示“布达拉宫被重建”，因此用一般过去时
的被动语态。
58. a　考查冠词。在说明某地的面积时，通常的说法是 ...is ... in
area或 ...has an area of ...，因此这里应用不定冠词a。
59. stories　考查名词复数。这里story表示“楼层”，是一个可数名
词，根据语境可知应用复数形式。

介词短语in the world可知，这里应用形容词的最高级形式。
64. has stood　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句时间状语为for
centuries，根据语境可知应用现在完成时。
65. what　考查宾语从句。本空前面的pay respect to是一个动词短语，
and前的this grand palace是一个宾语，and后面的what it represents是一
个宾语从句， what在从句中作宾语。

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。
　　Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might
have wished to be at home， but those days it wasn’t much warmer there
than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the
electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my
sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off， but the power was cut off
anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in
person.
　　I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally
showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was
only a couple of blocks， but it was a relief to get inside.
　　After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department
store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to
him，” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy
Earl and I joined the line of children waiting， and Mama sat on a bench
nearby.
　　Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted.
Santa reached in his pocket， pulled out a notepad and scribbled
something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two？” he asked. I
pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for
us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her
to come and talk to me？” he said.
　　Later， Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a
couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare to ask
about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy
gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no
toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all， really. But that was
okay， especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I
took my seat at the kitchen table.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

参考范文：
　　Suddenly， there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man
I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “This is for you and
your family，” he said， “Merry Christmas！” The man was gone
before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on
the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food！
Daddy read the letter from the envelope，“May you be happy！”
　　Mama and Daddy looked at each other， and she unpacked the food
from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy
Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today，” Mama
said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude， we had a
happy Christmas. Not long after the festival， Daddy was called back to
work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat，
which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.
