But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it.

Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. V ery soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence.

I never had so much fun!With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirementcommunity (社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating Gorge Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health . A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11,2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the exper ience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened---I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute (降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes . Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt---much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.56. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.D. She moved into a retirement community.57.

How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. Excited.B. Scared.C. NervousD. Regretful59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful clouds.B.

From the passage we can learn that the P ost.A. allows article submissions within six weeksB. favors science articles within 2,000 wordsC. has a huge demand for humorous worksD. prefers nonfiction to fiction articlesCStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备)and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up w ith it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.63. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with__________________A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regulations64. The underlined word “engage” in Para.4 probably means .A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may .A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ___________________.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classDAs the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21th century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, jus t like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.67. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.B. Some railroad stops remained underused.C. Land in the West was hard to manage.D. Land grants went into private hands.68. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A. The transmission of power.B. The use of money and power.C. The conservation of solar energy.D. The selection of an ideal place.69. What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A. CautiousB. ApprovingC. DoubtfulD. Disapproving70. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How the Railways Have Affected the WestB. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled第四部分：书面表达(共两节，35分)第一节情景作文(20分)假设你是红星中学高二(1)班的学生李华，下面四幅图描述了近期发生在你们班的一个真实故事，请根据图片的先后顺序，为校刊“英语园地”写一篇短文，词数不少于60。

Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have.73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop yourskills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.。

Her sister then passed her number on to her mother，who called Nikki straight away，and it was like they had never been apart.Her mum was so glad to find out Nikki was well that they arranged to meet everyone that Saturday (3 days after the phone call)where she was reunited with her sister and met her 2 nephews for the first time.Nikki also found out she had a half (同母异父的) sister and brother.When talking about the reunion，Nikki said，“ made finding my long lost family very easy.I was not on any social networking sites before and surprisingly neither was my sister or mum，so we would never have found each other that way.”45．What did Nikki know about her sister before her searching?A．Her address. B．Her birthday.C．Her name. D．Her telephone number.46．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that________.A．Nikki’s mum has a bad memory nowB．Nikki is about twenty－six years old nowC．Nikki’s sister lives with her mum togetherD．Nikki dialed another phone number to contact her mum47．What can we learn about Nikki from the passage?A．She knows much about the Internet.B．Her sister has not got married so far.C．Her mum gave birth to four children in all.D．She got in touch with her mum on Monday.48．All of the following made contributions to Nikki’s reunion with her family EXCEPT________.A．her father B．C．her son D．her mother－in－lawC(2011·唐山二模)Has your child been living at home since graduating from college？By one astonishing estimate (估计)，as many as 80% of 2009 grads，usually jobless，are back at home.Y ou may complain a lot if so.“The trick is finding a balance between your new relationship and guiding your child toward independence，”says Elina Furman，author of Boomerang Nation.“Parents have to understand they can’t hesitate (犹豫)，because that will make young adults feel unable to live on their own.” So you should sit down together and set certain rules.Whether it’s $50 and some housework or simply $300 a month，your child should contribute to the household.But don’t run off on vacation with that money.This could be an opportunity to teach the importance of saving for retirement or life goals.Furman advises investing (投资)your kid’s rent so he can use it for，say，his first apartment.Too many young adults think that if they can’t find a job in their chosen career，they don’t have to be working.Not true.While your child looks for that dream job，he should earn small wages in fields such as food service or child care.Y ou shoul dn’t have to monitor his job hunt，but if he isn’t getting anywhere，it’s time to step in.Talk about career moves he may be missing.Consider meeting with a career counselor (职业规划顾问) to help get your child on the right course.Set a cutoff time，because it’s easy to keep moving out.Fixing a date will encourage your child to find a job.And you’ll feel a sense of comfort knowing that your child won’t live at home forever.“The more specific you get now，the less likely that conflict will break out later，” Furman says.49．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．What to do when college grads move back home.B．What to do to make your kids out of home.C．How to help your children on their career path.D．How to get along well with your kids.50．If your child stays too long home after graduation from college，you should________.A．teach him how to save for retirementB．buy him a small apartmentC．set a time limit for him to move outD．keep him off small－wage fields51．What does “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A．Parents. B．Children.C．Adults. D．Companies.52．What should the rent from your child be used for?A．Y ou can spend it on holiday.B．Y ou can pay the career counselor.C．Y ou can keep it for child care.D．Y ou can invest it for the kid’s housingD(2011·四川绵阳高三诊断性测试)There are new findings that not enough sleep may cause people to gain weight.Researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal (激素的) changes that increase feelings of hunger.In one study，researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1,000 people.The people had taken part in a long－term study of sleep disorders.Some people slept less than five hours a night.They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours.And they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin.Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry；leptin makes you feel full.The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity (肥胖症)in Westernsocieties.They note the combination that sleep limitation is common and food is widely available.The results were not affected by how much people exercised.People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy.But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high－calorie foods，so people gain weight.It seems that，for survival，the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study.They found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night.The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine.Internet users can read the full study，free of charge，at .53．Not enough sleep can cause obesity by________.A．burning more of your energyB．making you want to eat more foodC．keeping you from doing exerciseD．helping you feel great without food54．Which would be a point supported by the reported findings?A．The more you sleep，the farther away you are from obesity.B．Those who don’t sleep at all are the most likely to put on weight.C．Sleeping contributes more to obesity than eating.D．It’ s not wise to use sleep hours for exercise.55．When you sleep 7.7 hours a night，you will________.A．have your ghrelin level rise and leptin level dropB．have your leptin level rise and ghrelin level dropC．have your ghrelin and leptin levels properly balancedD．have your hunger increase and your weight decrease56．The writer wrote this passage to________.A．make a news reportB．offer a piece of medical adviceC．make an advertisementD．keep a record of the research findingsE(2011·天津河西区检测)I used to watch her from my kitchen window.She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball.I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids.She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I began to notice her at other times，basketball in hand，playing alone.One day I asked her why she practiced so much.Without a moment of hesitation she said，“I want to go to college.The only way I can go is to get a scholarship.I am going to play college basketball.I want to be the best.My daddy told me if the dream is big enough，the facts don’t count.” Well，I had to give it to her—she was determined.I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week，she led her school team to victory.One day in her senior year，I saw her sitting in the grass，head in her arms.I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her.Quietly I asked what was wrong.“Oh，nothing，”came a soft reply，“I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream.He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.The next year，as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game，she was offered a scholarship and on the college team.She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.57．The author was probably the girl’s________.A．neighbor B．friend C．mother D．teacher58．We can learn from the passage that________.A．her family wouldn’t like to pay her college feeB．her father forced her to play basketball in collegeC．being a top basketball player can win you a scholarship for collegeD．she wouldn’t like to turn to his father for help when in difficulty59．Which word can best describe her father?A．Encouraging. B．Optimistic.C．Stubborn. D．Cruel.60．Which proverb best matches the story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．Rome was not built in a day.C．Where there is a will，there is a way.D．Pride comes before a fall.第二节(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)—Kathy，have you ever been to Suzhou in East China’s Jiangsu Province?—No yet.__61__—Right.The earliest gardens of Suzhou belonged to the King of Wu.__62__—Y es.Dozens of them have survived to the present and are kept in a good state of preservation.—These gardens often have to be constructed in a limited amount of space but still enable one to feel the charm of mountains，forests and springs.—Exactly.__63__It is the largest private garden in Suzhou，as well as one of the four most famous classical gardens in China.—__64__—Y ou are daydreaming again.__65__A．How I wish I could have such a garden of my own!B．I have never been there.C．But I know Suzhou is known as a garden city.D．Among the classical gardents of Suzhou，I like Zhuozheng Y uan most.E．But we can go to Suzhou to have a look，even though we can’t own it.F．And more gardens were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.G．I plan to travel to Suzhou next summer holiday.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共55分)第三部分：写作(共三节，满分55分)第一节单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)66．Y ou are completely________(弄错的) on this matter.67．The British Isles are________(包围) by the Atlantic Ocean to the west，and the North Sea to the east.68．Current trends indicate that________(交通) is becoming cleaner，faster and safer.69．More and more companies have already begun________(改革) the way they do business at present.70．It seems to be________(荒谬的) that the boy is asked to master a foreign language in two weeks.71．After a course of________(治疗) she regained her health again.72．On no account can we________(忽视) the value of knowledge.73．Tom’s father is suffering serious injuries and we must send for an________(救护车)．74．He moved his lips________(稍微)，but said nothing in the end.75．He took out his handkerchief and tried to stop the ________(流血) from his nose.第二节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)(2010·成都第二次诊断)My father and I am taking a camping trip in July76.________and August.We will travel for about two months but77.________will tour the United States and parts of the Canada.We78.________have decided to camp because it does not spend as much79.________as vacationing in hotels，but we had to plan carefully.I80.________think the car what we are going to drive is very small，so81.________we decide to take only one small suitcase for both of them82.________and as few camping things as possibly.We will take some83.________medicine with us prevent insects from hurting us，and also84.________some food for picnics.I’m sure that we will have fun.85.________第三节书面表达(满分30分)(2011·杭高高三月考)在中国，越来越多的人从农村迁往城市。

I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my wri ting and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.On occasion ,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,ipads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technolog y . There’s a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engag e complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. a few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.63.some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regulator64.the underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject65.according to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation66.it can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his class67.what was the problem caused by the construction of the railways ?A. small towns along the railways became abandoned .B. some railroad stops remained .C. land in the west was hard to manage .D. land grants went into private hands.68.what is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs ?A. the transmission of powerB. the use of money and powerC. the conservation of solar energyD. the selection of an ideal place69.what is the author ‘s attitude towards building solar plants ?A. cautiousB. approvingC. doubtfulD. disapproving70.which is the best title for the passage ?A. how the railways have affected the westB. how solar energy could reshape the westC. how the effects of power plants can be reducedD. how the problems of the highways have been settled第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
