In 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest （29, 029 feet） from a high camp at 27, 000 feet．He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do．He’d failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back．He left his high camp at 1a．m．, using a headlamp to find his way in the dark．He’d already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb．He’d also lived throug h terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family．“The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as ________, in fact, lowers the altitude （海拔） of the mountain by several thousand feet, ”says Viesturs．“If I couldn’t climb Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldn’t climb it．”“You have to be physically fit, ”he says．“But the mental （精神的） part is big．It’s so hard to keep going above 20, 000 feet．”While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15times for every step．He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead．Then he’d find another rock, then another．Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet．“It was one of those dream﹣come﹣true moments, ”Viesturs says．Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the world’s 13other highest mountain, all without oxygen．He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties．Finally, in his words, “The art of mountaineering is kn owing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn back．We should go step when working toward our dreams．There are no shortcuts to the top．”（1）What does the article mainly talk about？________A.Viesturs’first successful climb of Mount Everest．B.Viesturs’physical preparation for climbing Everest．C.The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life．D.The lessons that Viesturs can share with others．（2）What do we know about Ed Viesturs？________A.As soon as he reached Mount Everest，he set out for Everest climb．B.He’s been to the top of the world’s 14highest mountain without oxygen．C.Well prepared，he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest．D.So far，he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen．（3）The first“________”in Paragraph 3 refers to （指的是）________．A.being physical fit ．B.climbing Everest．C.C．D.climbing without oxygen．（4）Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph？________A.I like being near the top of a mountain．B.Life is like climbing a mountain．C.You never climb the mountain twice．D.Over every mountain there is a path．20. Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie﹣﹣the evidence of candy written on his or her face．However, you get a wide﹣eyed ________: “I didn’t do it!”Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral（道德） development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kidsto get there．Early 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study．He and his workmates chose48children between four and nine years of age．They told the kids a story about a boy orgirl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing （承认） it．In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?The children’s answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreementwith the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished．They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed．However, the seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds were more likely （可能的） to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive （积极的） feelings towards a confessor．Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action．”He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses．（1）What does the underlined word“________”in Paragraph 1mean？________A.委屈 B． C.否认 D．（2）Paragraph 2 mainly tell us________．A.kids can’t tell“right”from“wrong”．B.it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth．C.it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth．D.all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act．（3）What did Smith and his workmates find in their study？________A.Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act．B.Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act．C.The four﹣to﹣five﹣year﹣olds would feel better confessing the crime．D.The seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions．（4）According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies？________A.Parents should at once punish the children who lied．B.Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying．C.Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions．D.Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions．四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空．（每空一词）21.

When you think of Venice，does it bring any other________ city to your mind？（欧洲的）五、任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，填写所缺单词，每个空格只填1个单词．31. Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision，big or small．Most decisions aren’t life﹣changers．But often，the decision isn’t between this or that；it’s between acting or not．If this challenges you，here are some tips．Jog or ride a bike to nowhere．Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar．Walkdown every street or path you can find until you lose your way．Then，see where you end up．Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going？Try to lose yourself more often．It’ll make you bette r at making a decision．Sit outside without any technology for an hour．Let yourself get bored．Can you hear the birds singing？The wind blowing？Yourself breathing？Try to do this once a week，then every other day，then every day．One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things．A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make．Do something that scares you．People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes．Tell someone you love them．Laugh out loud in a public place．Give a speech to a stranger．And when you do this，remember how you feel When you’re sacred by a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn’t lie．And try to trust the process in thefuture．Some of these things may seem silly，but the more you do them，the more you’ll control yourself．It doesn’t matter where you’re going．Just go．Once you start moving，you can always change direction．六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分）32.

I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases（行李箱）. Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brotherwas killed in a car crash. "Come as soon as you can." cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened to me. Someone said to me: "If there's anything I can do, let me know." But I didn't know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby. "I've come to clean your shoes," he said.I asked him to repeat."Donna had to stay with the baby," he said, "but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral（葬礼）. Give me all your shoes." I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another. When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do…" Instead I try to think of one specific（具体的）task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting duringthe funeral. If the person asks, "How did you know I needed that one?" I reply, "Because a man once cleaned my shoes."（1）The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because ________.A she couldn't do it on her ownB she was too sad to do anythingC she wanted to take everything to SeattleD she was not good at housework（2）Here's a time line of what happened in the story.The writer's brother was killed in a car crash.→________→The writer washed theclothes.→They left for the airport.Which of the events should go in the empty box above?A Emerson came to clean the shoes.B The couple bathed the children.C They cleared the supper dishes.D The writer found the shoes cleaned.（3）If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably do?A Call her friend to ask what she can do.B Look after her friend's youngchildren. C Write a letter to comfort her friend. D Donate some money to her friend.（4）Which sentence best expresses the theme of this story?A One person's loss is another's gain.B An act of kindness is seldom rewarded.C A near neighbour is better than a brother far off.D Do something specific to help those in need.19. In 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest （29, 029 feet） from a high camp at 27, 000 feet．He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do．He'd failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back．He left his high camp at 1a．m．, using a headlamp to find his way in the dark．He'd already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb．He'd also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family．"The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as ________, in fact, lowers the altitude （海拔） of the mountain by several thousand feet, "says Viesturs．"If I couldn't climb Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldn't climb it．""You have to be physically fit, "he says．"But the mental （精神的） part is big．It's so hard to keep going above 20, 000 feet．"While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15times for every step．He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead．Then he'd find another rock, then another．Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet．"It was one of those dream﹣come﹣true moments, "Viesturs says．Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the world's 13other highest mountain, all without oxygen．He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties．Finally, in his words, "The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn back．We should go step when working toward our dreams．There are noshortcuts to the top．"（1）What does the article mainly talk about？________A Viesturs'first successful climb of Mount Everest．B Viesturs'physical preparation for climbing Everest．C The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life．D The lessons that Viesturs can share with others．（2）What do we know about Ed Viesturs？________A As soon as he reached Mount Everest，he set out for Everest climb．B He's been to the top of the world's 14highest mountain without oxygen．C Well prepared，he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest．D So far，he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen．（3）The first"________"in Paragraph 3 refers to （指的是）________．A being physical fit ．B climbing Everest．C C．D climbing without oxygen．（4）Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph？________A I like being near the top of a mountain．B Life is like climbing amountain． C You never climb the mountain twice． D Over every mountain there isa path．20. Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie﹣﹣the evidence of candy written on his or her face．However, you get a wide﹣eyed ________: "I didn't do it!"Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral （道德） development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there．Early 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study．He and his workmates chose48children between four and nine years of age．They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing （承认） it．In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished．They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed．However, the seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds were more likely （可能的） to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive （积极的） feelings towards a confessor．Smith says, "Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action．"He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses．（1）What does the underlined word"________"in Paragraph 1mean？________A 委屈 B． C 否认 D．（2）Paragraph 2 mainly tell us________．A kids can't tell"right"from"wrong"．B it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth．C it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth．D all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act．（3）What did Smith and his workmates find in their study？________A Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act．B Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act．C The four﹣to﹣five﹣year﹣olds would feel better confessing the crime．D The seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions．（4）According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies？________A Parents should at once punish the children who lied．B Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying．C Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions．D Parents should show positive feeling about their children's confessions．四、根据首字母填空21. （1）The ________faces were a sight, covered with dust.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision，big or small．Most decisions aren't life﹣changers．But often，the decision isn't between this or that； it's between acting or not．If this challenges you，here are some tips．Jog or ride a bike to nowhere．Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar．Walkdown every street or path you can find until you lose your way．Then，see where you end up．Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going？Try to lose yourself more often．It'll make you better at making a decision．Sit outside without any technology for an hour．Let yourself get bored．Can you hear the birds singing？The wind blowing？Yourself breathing？Try to do this once a week，then every other day，then every day．One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things．A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make．Do something that scares you．People who have trouble making decisions fearmistakes．Tell someone you love them．Laugh out loud in a public place．Give a speech to a stranger．And when you do this，remember how you feel When you're sacred by a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn't lie．And try to trust the process in the future．Some of these things may seem silly，but the more you do them，the more you'll control yourself．It doesn't matter where you're going．Just go．Once you start moving，you can always change direction．六、单词填空23.

to me．"If there's anything I can do，let me know．"But I didn't know what to ask for．Suddenly，the doorbell rang．It was Emerson．He and his wife Donna lived in theblock nearby．"I've come to clean your shoes，"he said．I asked him to repeat．"Donna had to stay with the baby，"he said，"but we want to help you．I remember when my father died，it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral （葬礼）．Give me all your shoes．"I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen．Emerson got to work right away．Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order．I told myself to wash clothes first．Then，Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed．One job after another．When we returned to clear the dishes，Emerson had left．All our shoes stood in a line against the wall，clean，shining．I couldn't help crying．Early next morning，we left for the airport with all the jobs done．Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one，I no longer call with the polite offer，"If there's a nything I can do …"Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need，like taking the dog to the boarding kennel，or house﹣sitting during the funeral．If the person asks，"How did you know I needed that one？"I reply，"Because a man once cleaned my shoes．"34．The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because．A．she couldn't do it on her ownB．she was

the top of Mount Everest （29，029 feet）from a high camp at 27，000 feet．He planned to climb it without oxygen tank，something only a few climbers had managed to do．He'd failed twice，once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back．He left his high camp at 1a．m．，using a headlamp to find his way in the dark．He'd already been on the mountain for two months，receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb．He'd also lived through terrible cold，strong winds，and separation from friends and family．"The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing，as it，in fact，lowers the altitude （海拔）of the mountain by several thousand feet，"says Viesturs．"If I couldn't climb Everest without oxygen tank，I wouldn't climb it．""You have to be physically fit，"he says．"But the mental （精神的）part is big．It's so hard to keep going above 20，000 feet．"While making that final climb on Everest，he breathed 15times for every step．He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead．Then he'd find another rock，then another．Finally he stood on the top，with the whole world at his feet．"It was one of those dream﹣come﹣true moments，"Viesturs says．Today，Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker，talking about his climb of Everest and of the world's 13other highest mountain，all without oxygen．He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties．Finally，in his words，"The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go，when tostay，and when to turn back．We should go step when working toward our dreams．There are no shortcuts to the top．"38．What does the article mainly talk about？A．Viesturs'first successful climb of Mount Everest．B．Viesturs'physical preparation for climbing Everest．C．The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life．D．The lessons that Viesturs can share with others．39．What do we know about Ed Viesturs？A．As soon as he reached Mount Everest，he set out for Everest climb．B．He's been to the top of the world's 14highest mountain without oxygen．C．Well prepared，he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest．D．So far，he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen．40．The first"it"in Paragraph 3 refers to （指的是）．A．being physical fitB．climbing EverestC．C．using oxygen when climbingD．climbing without oxygen41．Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph？A．I like being near the top of a mountain．B．Life is like climbing a mountain．C．You never climb the mountain twice．D．Over every mountain there is a path．42．（8分）Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie﹣﹣the evidence of candy written on his or her face．However，you get a wide﹣eyed denial："I didn't do it!"Learning to tell the truth，even at the risk of punishment，is an important part of moral （道德）development，and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there．Early 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study．He and his workmates chose 48children between four and nine years of age．They told the kids a story about a boyor girl doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing （承认）it．In each case，they asked the children，How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？The children's answers were generally divided according to age，which is in agreement with the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished．They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed．However，the seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds were more likely （可能的）to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive （积极的）feelings towards a confessor．Smith says，"Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action．"He adds，what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses．42．What does the underlined word"denial"in Paragraph 1mean？A．委屈B．责备C．否认D．拒绝43Paragraph 2 mainly tell us．A．kids can't tell"right"from"wrong"B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthC．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act44What did Smith and his workmates find in their study？A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act．B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act．C．The four﹣to﹣five﹣year﹣olds would feel better confessing the crimeD．The seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions．45．According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies？A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied．B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying．C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions．D．Parents should show positive feeling about their children's confessions．四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空．（每空一词）46．（1分）The faces were a sight，covered with dust．（boy）47．（1分）You can enjoy water sports，or lie on the beach．（simple）48．（1分）Some

know what to do in face of a decision，big or small．Most decisions aren't life﹣changers．But often，the decision isn't between this or that；it's between acting or not．If this challenges you，here are some tips．Jog or ride a bike to nowhere．Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar．Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way．Then，see where you end up．Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going？Try to lose yourself more often．It'll make you better at making a decision．Sit outside without any technology for an hour．Let yourself get bored．Can you hear the birds singing？The wind blowing？Yourself breathing？Try to do this once a week，then every other day，then every day．One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things．A break fromthe noise will lead you to the decision you need to make．Do something that scares you．People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes．Tell someone you love them．Laugh out loud in a public place．Give a speech to a stranger．And when you do this，remember how you feel When you're sacred by a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn't lie．And try to trust the process in the future．Some of these things may seem silly，but the more you do them，the more you'll control yourself．It doesn't matter where you're going．Just go．Once you start moving，you can always change direction．The art of making（56）Introduction People often have to decide if they will（57）．Tips Going for a jog or a bike（58）*Start moving to leave the familiar and
