When I was eight, I wrote my first poem. My mother read and cried. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful poem!”
Shyly, but 36 , I said yes. She poured out her 37 . “It was nothing short of talent!”
“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to 38 my work to him.
I spent quite some time 39 for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish (花体字), drew a fancy border around it, and 40 I placed it right on my father’s plate on the dining table. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be able

At almost 7 o’clock my father burst in. H e seemed 42 . He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees.
Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate. “What is this?” He was reaching for my poem.
“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “And it’s beautiful, absolutely amaz …”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide for myself.” Father said.
I 43 my head as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of 44 .
“I think it’s terrible,” he sa id.
I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting 45 .
“Ben, t hese are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs 46 .”
“I don’t know why.”My father held his ground. “Isn’t there enough47 poetry in the world alre ady?”
I couldn’t 48 it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I
49 myself on the bed and cried the worst of the 50 out of me.
That may have been the end of the story, but not of its 51 for me. I realized how fortun ate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “I think it’s awful.”
Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all 52 flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that 53 , “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
First lady’s campaign brings change
WASHINGTON (AP) —Wal-Mart（沃尔玛）is putting special labels（标签）on some products to help shoppers quickly notice healthier ones. Millions of schoolchildren are helping themselves to vegetables from salad bars in their lunchrooms, and kids’ meals at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants come with a side of fruit or vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk.
These changes are taking place due to the campaign against childhood fatness, for which the first lady Michelle Obama began fighting three years ago.
Fatness has become a serious problem in the country. About one-third of U.S. children are overweight, which puts them at increased risk for any number of deadly illnesses, including high blood pressure and heart disease.
Still, Mrs. Obama faces challenge. Not everyone welcomes her effort. Some blame her for going too far and say she has no right to tell what people should and shouldn’t eat. But nutrition supporters and others praise her for using her influence to help bring interests to the table. They said the first lady has raised public awareness about fatness, which will help decrease childhood fatness rates.
There is evidence of small decrease in childhood fatness rates in some parts of the country. New York reported a 5.5 percent drop in fatness rates in kindergarteners through eighth-graders between the 2006-07 and 2010-11 school years. In Philadelphia, the drop was 4.7 percent among students in grades K-12.
Fighting against children fatness is hard work, but it’s well worth the effort. The first lady is planning a promotional tour. She has been talking up the campaign against childhood fatness on daytime and late-night TV shows and on the radio. She also plans discussions next week on Google and Twitter.
“We’ve been spending a lot of time educating and re-educating families and kids on how to eat, what to eat,” the first lady said. “We’re starting to see some changes and we’re sta rting to show some improvement.”
56. What is the purpose of the campaign started by the first lady?
A. To call on healthy eating.
B. To reduce childhood fatness rate.
C. To show the harm caused by fatness.
D. To educate people how to avoid illness.
57. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The popularity of healthy food.
B. The importance of balanced diet.
C. Children’s preference for vegetables.
D. The changes brought out by the campaign.
58. What can we learn from the passage about Mrs. Obama??
A. She is an expert in healthy eating.
B. She has won support of the whole nation.
C. She shows great concern about childhood fatness.
D. She makes good use of media to increase her influence.
B
Mrs. Squirrel and I Negotiated Terms
I was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch （门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.
I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people.
On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. T hey hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.
There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left.
Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my
[键入文字]
home, I drove her away with the broom again.
Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, i t would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t continue contributing my husband’s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.
I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes.
All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones.
59. What did the author think of the squirrel at first?
A. Troublesome.
B. Dangerous.
C. Interesting.
D. Clever.
60. Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?
A. She worried about the safety of the squirrel.
B. She thought the company charged too much.
C. She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.
D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.
61. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.
B. The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.
C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel.
D. The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.
62. The author has written the passage in a (an) ________ way.
A. persuasive

C. informative
D. amusing
C
Before my first summer vacation at college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting. Then I began having second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What would it be like in a strange country? What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
In the end I turned down the invitation. As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go, I began kicking myself. I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared, and had ended up feeling depressed. That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious; don’t do what makes you depressed.
At the end of my senior year, I began to think about becoming a writer. But my professor was urging me to aim at teaching. I hesitated. The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me. Right then I learned another lesson. To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern.
When I first began writing articles, I was frequently required to interview big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake. One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed the very model of confidence. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright. If the highly honored Ellington, who had appeared on the bandstand some 10,000 times over 30years, had anxiety attacks, who was I to think I could avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews. What had happened to those butterflies?
Well, in truth, they were still there, but there were fewer of them. I had benefited, I discovered, from a process psychologists call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxi ous situation often enough, he will eventually learn that there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.
The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
63. We can infer from the passage that the author________.
A. finds it difficult to make decision
B. has found out what causes anxiety
C. was inspired by Duke Ellington’s stage fright
D. no longer feels anxious about new experiences
64. The underlined word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means ________.
A. a person’s gradual loss of confidence
B. the natural development of a child’s abilities
C. the inborn tendency to avoid anxious situations
D. the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety
65. Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept?
A. Hesitation leads to depression.
B. Anxiety can be a positive drive
C. Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.
D. Depression is a signal that one is growing up.
66. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Confidence: Key to Success
B. Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name
C. Depression: A Psychological Phenomenon
D. Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression
D
Store shelves are filling up with so-called “green”products promising to benefit the environment. A recent argument shows that it can be as difficult for buyers to confirm such statement as for producers to defend them.
The argument concerns the Green Plug Electricity Saver. The Green Plug is supposed to prevent energy waste by electrical equipment whose constant -speed motors operate at less full load---as is especially true of older refrigerators. Research showed that such motors can be made to do the
[键入文字]
same work with less heat, noise, and power consumption just by lowering the voltage（电压）of the power supply.
John and Wyck Hay, started Green Technologies to apply that finding to home appliances. In the USA, there are more than 140 million refrigerators in use, accounting for an average of 16% of the household electric bill.
Two years of research resulted in the Green Plug. Connecting between wall socket and refrigerator, the equipment contains a minicomputer that gives a motor full power (120 volts on average) for start-up, then reduces the power to 106 volts.
Older refrigerators are the most overpowered and, thus, save the most energy with a Green Plug. Refrigerators less than two years old are already energy-saving that a Green Plug actually makes them waste electricity.
The higher the voltage, the larger the difference a Green Plug makes.
Higher power costs shorten the payback time. The population-weighted national average is 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. But some residents in Washington State pay 1.5 cents. Some in Alaska pay 41.6 cents.
Then come highly individual household differences like the number of children or refrigerator
-opening age. All in all, the Green Plug should save the average consumer $20 a year.
Although the Green Plug lowered the voltage as it was designed to do, Consumer Reports, an influential magazine,questioned how quickly---if ever---electricity savings due to the plug would repay its cost. People would be better off buying a new, high-efficiency refrigerator, the magazine advised.
Consumer Reports also said that the Green Plug didn’t give a promised 25% savings worth $50 a year. The savings on the oldest model was the best at 8.6%, worth $20 a year.
Green Technologies ordered tests of the Green Plug on up to 2,800 refrigerators through next year. The company will not put that data in stores. Instead, potential buyers will call to learn how their model of refrigerator performed.
Meanwhile, there is little evidence of consumer dissatisfaction. Sales topped 45,000 units last month. The return rate is less than 0.2%.
67. The GreenPlug on store shelves are due mostly to __________.
A. an increased concern about the environment
B. a demand for money-saving technology
C. the high cost of electrical power
D. the shortage of power supply
68. What do we know about the GreenPlug?
A. It is especially designed for old refrigerators
B. It works well with all home appliances
C. It can’t guarantee lower electric bills
D. It doesn’t function with lower voltage
69. In the GreenPlug argument, the magazine Consumer Reports __________.
A. advocates for the GreenPlug
B. suggests Green Technologies never tell the truth
C. doubts the effect of the GreenPlug
D. informs the public of different opinions
70. We can infer from the passage that the author ___________.
A. feels optimistic about the future of GreenPlug.
B. believes the GreenPlug has cheated customers.
C. holds an objective attitude to the issue.
D. encourages further investigation.

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。
“Tear them apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee（裁判）！”
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. 71 They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to violence. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations（含义）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as on e of those words. 72
The dictionary meaning of “opponent ”is “enemy” or “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control one’s brains. 73 I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted. “Are they wet enough now?”
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player hitting his opponent with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. 74 It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to a higher level. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.”
75 You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”
A. Reflect a moment!
B. Does that make any sense?
C. But let’s not kid ourselves.
D. Such rude comments express one’s strong desire to win.
E. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
F. Players sometimes turn to violence hoping to injured opponents.
G. And every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable.

One possible version:
Last Saturday afternoon I went home with my friend Wang Wei. We were talking happily when a man riding a motorbike passed us quickly. To our great surprise, some 100-yuan notes dropped to the ground from the bag hanging on his motorbike. Hurriedly I shouted at the top of my voice to stop him. But he rode away without hearing me.
Seeing the notes scattered on the road, Wang Wei and I decided to pick up the money and wait for the man to come back. Some people seeing what had happened also helped to collect the money.
A few minutes later, the man rode back, with sweet on his forehead. He was in a great panic when he saw many people picking up the money. He must have thought that we would go away with his hard-earned money. So when all of us returned the money to him he was so moved and relieved that he kept saying “thank you”.
I was so happy that I could give a hand to the man who was in trouble. It was a really rewarding and fulfilling afternoon.

One possible version:
Everyone has a dream. Just like the boy in the picture. He is climbing a ladder to reach the stars. Although the stars seem far too high for him to reach, the boy is still making great effort. Some people may laugh at the boy. But in my opinion, dreams are like the stars hanging high in the sky. Even though we may not reach them, we can look up and enjoy their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
What’s more, in fulfilling our dreams, we may run into many difficulties. We should face them bravely and manage to find ways to solve the problems. Like the boy in the picture, we should find a ladder to success and move up step by step. The more difficulties we overcome, the closer we are to our dreams.
Dreams are the most valuable things we have in our life. They inspire us, they fire us up, and they make us work wonders. Fulfilling our dreams makes our life full and meaningful.

丰台区2016年高三年级第二学期综合练习（一） 语文2016. 03 一、本大题共8小题，共28分。 阅读下面材料，完成1—8题。 材料一 欧亚大陆和濒临地中海的北部非洲，自古以来构成了一个?世界岛?。轴心时代的巴比伦文明、埃及文明、印度文明、希腊文明和中华文明，都孕育于兹，繁荣于兹。而这个世界岛是被?丝绸之路?连接着的。 西欧亚大陆乃至南亚地区，自古以来就交往密切。地中海区域至少在罗马时代就是海陆通道都畅达的。只有更加遥远的极东地区——中国，因为高山和大漠的阻隔，处在一个相对独立的地理区域，发展出独特的华夏文明。把中国文明与西欧亚及地中海区域连接起来的通道，就是陆上和海上的?丝绸之路?。 公元2世纪中叶，张骞受汉武帝派遣出使西域，开通丝绸之路，成就了一世英名。其实，早在张骞之前，众多无名英雄就走通了东西方通道。商周玉器，并不产自内地，而是通过?玉石之路?从新疆和田运来。但是，为什么到了张骞之后，?丝绸之路?才真正建立并逐渐发展起来呢？这与丝路此端的汉唐帝国国力的强盛密切相关。 先秦时期，?玉石之路?上的商品往来，具有私人贩运性质。秦朝及汉朝初年，匈奴几 乎垄断了通往西域的道路，也自然垄断了丝路贸易。到汉武帝之后，凭借父祖几代的休养生 ．．．息．政策积累起来的国力，果断采取反击匈奴的政策，才有了张骞的第一次出使。 等到张骞第二次出使西部，携带了更多的物品，分别送给出使诸国，虽然这不算官方贸 易，但却促进了西域诸部族和邦国纷纷来华。这些外邦来使，与其说是向风慕义 ．．．．，不如说为了经贸利益。 继汉武帝建立河西四郡之后，昭宣时代和东汉王朝致力于建立西域都护，保障了这条贸 易通道的畅通。唐朝设立安西四镇以及伊西北庭都护府，对葱岭东西地区的羁縻 ．．府州，实行了有效控制，使唐朝的?丝绸之路?比之汉代有了长足的发展。可以说，汉唐国力的强盛是?丝绸之路?得以建立、巩固与发展的先决条件。 中唐?安史之乱?后放弃了经营西域，并转向海路，陆路从主路逐步逆转为海路的补充。 北宋时?河西走廊?为西夏占据，南宋对整个西北更是鞭长莫及 ．．．．，陆上丝路再无重生之力。元朝时丝路成为帝国内部交通路线，通行比历朝历代都更方便，但由于路上走的主要是以宗教信仰和文化交流为使命的人，不再以商人为主，无力再次繁荣。古老的丝路逐渐萧条，退出了历史舞台。 海上的?丝绸之路?主要繁荣于中唐到宋元时期。该路指从中国东南出海至太平洋，或经南海至印度洋到南亚、西亚及非洲的航路。其兴起可能比陆路还早，但唐以前海路一直是陆路的补充，中唐以后陆路阻绝，加之经济重心南移、指南针发明及航海技术进步，海上丝路才开始繁荣，超过并逐步取代了陆路。宋元采取更加开放的政策，非常重视商业和海外贸易，保证了海上丝路的持续兴旺。明朝开始海禁，虽然郑和曾在近30年内七下西洋，是世界航海史上的壮举，但由于仅为官方外交，劳民伤财，缺乏民间参与，给政府带来沉重的经济负担，明成祖去世后很快就停止了。清朝更加封闭，康熙在开海禁后仍不许与西方贸易，

2013年高考英语试题解析：史上最简单的英语卷 主持人：陶然老师今天参与到了北京的高考当中，现场答了英语的试卷。 陶然：这是个人觉得很好玩的事情。因为我一直教高考这么多年，快十年了。所以去年和今年，我都是两年报名参加这个高考，看看考场里面做题什么感觉。 主持人：有找到青春吗？ 陶然：学生看我的眼光特别怪异，包括监考老师觉得特别怪异，因为他们觉得我不像是高考的学生，所以反复盘查准考证。 主持人：您十年都在一直坚持体验自己高考的试卷，2013年的高考试卷，您感觉总体难易程度是什么情况？ 陶然：今年高考难易程度，考试以前有风声出来了，说是要降低难度。但是真正拿到题目来说，降低难度没有想到能够做的这么过分。 主持人：怎么说？ 陶然：就是这个题目太简单了。 “史上最简单”英语高考卷考题基础简单 主持人：那就是说孩子们应该如果平时很刻苦，应该是考的很不错。 陶然：都不需要他平时特别刻苦，只需要把基础的东西掌握好，这个卷子做的应该还可以。所以整个卷子里面难易程度看起来感觉，没有太多的特别复杂的，给考生挖的陷井，也没有太多的设置命题方面的很复杂的设计。 主持人：没有那些？ 陶然：这些全都没有，就是一个很直白的卷子。而且我觉得整个的卷子里边，就难度而言，跟去年相比差了好多的。 主持人：根本不能和同去年谈。 陶然：对，如果不夸张地说，2002年开始北京卷自主命题第一年，这套卷子是北京卷过去11年里面最简单的一套。如果再不扩张地说，从2002年开始，全国各地所有的高考英语卷子，包括北京市各区模拟题，把这些卷子都放在一起，这套卷子也是最简单的一套。 主持人：一定有孩子心理在打鼓了，还是有孩子觉得难的。 陶然：肯定会有。 主持人：通过您的描述，包括您自己现场亲自做题才有这样的感触，包括您一直教高三的孩子，一定也是积累的经验，我也是从您说这一段话总结出关于今年试卷特点，第一点就是基础简单，还有什么吗？
