By rolling the ball I could 43 where it went．This gave me an 44 how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball．At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a new kind of baseball．We called it ground ball．All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to 45 them one by one．I also knewmy limitations．It was no good trying something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only 46 the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made 47 ．36．A．unfortunate B．lucky C．disappointed D．ashamed 37．A．share with B．play with C．fight with D．toy with 38．A．learn B．meet C．avoid D．prepare 39．A．directly B．slightly C．frequently D．simply 40．A．unusual B．unfair C．uncomfortable D．unfamiliar 41．A．lengthen B．deepen C．strengthen D．widen 42．A．amused B．hurt C．greeted D．praised43．A．hear B．see C．smell D．find44．A．event B．offer C．excuse D．idea 45．A．achieve B．receive C．classify D．follow 46．A．refused B．removed C．replaced D．caused 47．A．sense B．progress C- friends D．mistakesSection C （12 marks）Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context．Have you ever noticed this phenomenon?

students 49 effective way to deal with reading．Anyway, they often simply say, "Read 50 and practise more, and you will get more experience in reading comprehension．" Frankly, these teachers' good suggestions are only helpful to arouse （激起）students? interest in reading 51 not helpful to deal with the questions in the examinations of reading comprehension．Personally．52 think the skill for

questions are designed and the relationship between questions and the reading materials．Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension （30 marks）Directions: Read the following three, passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage ．AOver the last 30 years．Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into a rich．concrete, high-rise city that it is today．The spreading metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand's economic wealth．As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and business people from different fields, including tourism, automobiles and electronics．The city’s population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais．For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city's food is a key attraction, says one USmanager, before listing many of his favourite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants．Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London．Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok's other attractions, too．For overseas business people who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort, the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls．Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chatuchak Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the skilled bargainer．When the time comes to talk business many overseas business people prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course．Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the busy and noisy city life．But most business people go to the golf course because it's the perfect place to discuss the next big deal．Because of the fast-paced life some foreign business people see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term, rather than a lifetime．Australian computer software designer Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working full-time in her Bangkok office．She says the city is "definitely a place I want to stay for the next five, ten years"．Nannies and home help are affordable, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms．Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age．56．According to the first two paragraphs, we know that _____．A．Bangkok has always been a rich Thai cityB．Bangkok offers many working opportunities for peopleC．most foreigners coming to Bangkok are touristsD．Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais57．The underlined word "shunned" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____．A．unwanted B．forgottenC．appreciated D．rewarded58．What is the main attraction of golf for business people according to the passage?A．It is a good place in which to discuss business matters．B．It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise．C．It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city．D．It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting．59．Sarah Huang says she711 eventually leave Bangkok because _____．A．she is going to have a babyB．her working hours are too longC．the cost of a good education there is too highD．it's not easy to find suitable home help there60．The main purpose of the passage is to _____．A．describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign business peopleB．promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the cityC．explain the reasons for Bangkok's rapid economic growth over the past 30 yearsD．compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign business people in BangkokBA woman renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation．She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself．"What I mean is．" explained the recorder, ''do you have a job, or are you just a．．．""Of course I have a job," said Emily．"I'm a mother．""We don’t list 'mother' as an occupation．．．"housewife' covers it," said the recorder．One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．"What is your occupation?" she asked．The words simply came out．'I'm a Research Associate in the field of ChildDevelopment and Human Relations．"The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in mid-air．I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire．"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in this field?"Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice．I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research （what mother doesn' t）, in the lab and in the field （normally I would have said indoors and out）．Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities （any mother disagrees?）, and I often work 14 hours a day （24 is more like it）．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money．"There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk' s voice as she completed the form．stood up, and showed me out．As I drove into our driveway, feeling happier by my attractive and exciting new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants—aged 13．7 and 3．Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model （a 6-month-old baby）, in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and essential to mankind than "just another mother"．Motherhood．．．What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door．61．What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was．B．The recorder was impatient and rude．C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced．D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society．62．How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A．Curious．B．Puzzled．C．Upset．D．Frightened．63．How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A．Calm．B．Angry．C．Unconfident． D．Annoyed．64．Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A．Because the author cared little about rewards．B．Because she admired the author's research work in the lab．C．Because she thought the author did admirable work．D．Because the author did something she had little knowledge of．65．What is the author’ s purpose of writ ing the passage?A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward itB．To show that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect．C．To show that the author had a grander job than Emily．D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work．CTexting pedestrians aren’t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves．"I was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wolbert van den Hoorn．"But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text while walking．"Anecdotes back him up．A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook—bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit．Another shopper in the U．S．was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead, walking straight into it．And as mobile-phone use has grown—to about 77% of the world's population, the study says—so has the number of phone-related accidents．The number of U．S．emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as 1,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed．Authorities world-wide have taken note．Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones．Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as "No．2 Bad Habit", due to the rising number of road deaths．Some U．S．states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans on this act．The Australian study used 26 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having hit objects while texting．They were fitted with different equipment in different parts of their body, and asked to walk 8．5 meters three times—once without a phone, once while reading a text and once while writing a text—while eight cameras captured the action．V olunteers using the phone walked slower and with shorter steps （and slowest of all when typing）, and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in—like "robots", in the researchers' words．That forced their heads to move more．throwing them off balance．"In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents．" said Mr．van den Hoorn．"The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone．"66．Which of the following about "Texting pedestrians is WRONG?A．People who type while walking．B．People who text while walking．C．People who phone while walking．D．People who read text message while walking．67．The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to show_____ ．A．the advantages of mobile phonesB．the use of mobile phones in waterC．the popularity of mobile phonesD．the use of mobile phones in a wrong way68．What is New York and Arkansas" attitude to texting pedestrians?A．Setting up signs to warn them．B．Ranking it as "No．1 Bad Habit"．C．Considering forbidding their acts．D．Equipping them with advanced machines．69．Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?A．They walk too fast．B．They lock their arms and elbows．C．They walk with longer steps．D．They are out of balance．70．What is the best title for the passage?A．Text message or e-mail only?B．Safety or text message?C．Mobile phones for entertainmentD．Ways to avoid fallsPart IV Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage ．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Unlike in our country, violence against women is very obvious in some western and African countries．The basic cause of it lies in discrimination, which claims women inequality with men in all aspects of life．Violence is both origin in discrimination and serves to worsen discrimination．Violence against women is a sign of historically unequal status of women compared to men, which has resulted into domination （控制，主宰）and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full development of women．Violence against women is one of the important social means by which women are restricted into a secondary position in comparison with men．As violence against women is spread worldwide, many women are targets because of their ethnic group, class, sex or disability status．Many women think that the psychological consequences of abuse are even more dangerous than its physical effects．The experience of abuse often shakes women's self-respect and puts them at great risk of a number of mental health problems, such as:Depression is becoming broadly recognized as a main health problem in the world．Women who are abused by their partners suffer more depression and anxiety than women who have not been abused, according to studies in Australia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and the US．Post-traumatic stress disorder （PTSD）is a strong anxiety disorder that can happen when people go through or witness a very unpleasant event in which they feel disappointed and helpless or fear death or injury．The symptoms of PTSD contain mentally reliving the upsetting event by means of flashbacks（闪回，倒叙）; avoiding anything that would remind one of the events; experiencing discomfort in sleeping and concentrating; and being easily alarmed or frightened．The severe violence is also likely to lead to suicide．Some women kill themselves or try to do so．Researches from some countries, including Sweden, and the US, have showed that domestic violence is closely connected with suicide．Abused women who have PTSD symptoms prove to be most likely to trysuicide．Abused women are more likely than other women to misuse alcohol and drugs．When a person ' s everyday life functioning or life alternatives continue to be influenced, a post-traumatic stress disorder may be the problem, requiring professional treatment．I ．72 of historically unequal status● Domination and discrimination from men ' s leading position and preventing 73Ⅱ74 : women's self-respect shake and 75 occur．●76 , a main health problem●Post-traumatic stress disorder, a strong 77 , happens under certain conditions．One of its symptoms is mentally reliving 78 by means of flashbacks．●79 , especially for w omen with PTSD symptoms● Alcohol and drug misuseⅢ．8o●Professional treatmentSection B （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．With the right encouragement and tools, children can develop leadership qualities that are important to help them succeed in all areas of life．Leadership activities and games help build these skills by enabling children to become more self-aware and improve their self-respect．Good leaders can convey their thoughts and feelings effectively．Poetry, short stories or drawing are ideal activities to introduce children to the concept of leadership．Ask children to think about what makes a great leader and then express their ideas．Games like blind obstacle courses can build communication skills as well．Planning and organizing is a fundamental leadership quality．Children can learn this skill by helping to plan a concert or play．Instead of assigning just one leader, divide the group into several small ones and assign leaders to each group．One group can be in charge of assigning roles and the second could be in charge of making invitations．How you distribute leadership roles will vary depending on the age of the children and what you have chosen to perform．Compromise is a skill of many effective leaders．Goals are obtained faster when arguments don’t slow the process．Activities that teach children the art of compromise help them to negotiate with friends and family naturally．Group science projects, for example, can help enable children to learn how to compromise and negotiate．The success or failure of the project will depend on the children' s ability to negotiate and work together．The ability to work well with others is another important leadership skill．Team sports like baseball can teach children how to work as a group and that their contribution is important to the overall success of the team．This builds their confidence and encourages them to think beyond themselves and their individual needs．81．What activities can be used to introduce children to the concept of leadership? （No more than 5 words）（2 marks）82．How can children learn an important leadership quality according to Paragraph 3?（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）83．What is the principle of distributing leadership roles when planning a play? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）84．What s the main idea of Paragraph 4? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）Section C （25 marks）Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese．请先阅读下面的寓言（fable）A peacock （孔雀）was very unhappy with her ugly voice, so she spent most of her days complaining about it．"It is true that you cannot sing," said the fox．"but look how beautiful you are!""Oh, but what good is all this beauty," cried the bird, "with such an unpleasant voice!""Listen," said the fox．"each one owns something good: you have such beauty; the nightingale （夜莺）has her songs; and the owl （猫头鹰）has his eyes．Even if you had a sweet voice, you would still complain about another thing．Why can't you just be happy about what you have already got?"请从这则寓言中提炼出一个恰当的主题，写一篇不少于120词的读后感。

The three letters present viewpoints on _______.A. real source of road dangerB. ways to improve road facilitiesC. measures to punish road offencesD. increased awareness of road rulesBIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.61.

The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsCHave your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did. One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features.A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, 更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New ThingsFor most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.81.

are some letters from our readers．■Yes，many cyclists behave dangerously．Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists．But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders．People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to themobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around them．They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere．The rest of us have to evade （避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision．The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important than the welfare of others．﹣﹣Michael Horan■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （Viewpoints，May 29）．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads．I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me．The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used．The police do nothing．What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，fluorescent （发荧光的）jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them．﹣﹣Carol Harvey■Cyclists jump on and off pavements （which are meant for pedestrians），ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red．I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him．Other road users，including horse riders，manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists？It's about time they had to be registered and insured，so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim．﹣﹣JMLWrite to Viewpoints of the newspaper．56．Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that．A．drivers should be polite to cyclistsB．road accidents can actually be avoidedC．sine pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD．walking while using phones hurts one's eyes57．Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should．A．be provided with enough roadsB．be asked to ride on their own lanesC．be made to pay less tax for cyclingD．be fined for laughing at policemen58．What is a complaint of JML？A．Very few drivers are insured．B．Cyclists ride fast on pavements．C．Pedestrians go through red traffic lights．D．Horse riders disrespect other road users．59．The underlined word"they"in the third letter refers to．A．accidents B．vehicles C．pedestrians D．cyclists60．The three letters present viewpoints on．A．real source of road dangerB．ways to improve road facilitiesC．measures to punish road offencesD．increased awareness of road rules．61．（10分）In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck．An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street．Asked if he needs help，he replies，"No，thanks．I've got a good horse under me．"The city planner decided to build an underground drainage （排水）system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level．The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city．An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt．This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12feet．This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago．Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level．Small wood﹣frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily．But what about large，heavy structures like Tremont Hotel，which was a six﹣story brick building？That's where George Pullman came in．He had developed some house﹣moving skills successfully．To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews （螺旋千斤顶）beneath the building's foundation．One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10jackscrews．At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly．Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening．Some people like to say that every problem has a solution．But in Chicago's early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem．Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city's next step was to clean the polluted river．61．The author mentions the joke to show．A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC．Chicago was very dangerous in the springD．the Chicago people were particularly humorous62．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to．A．get rid of the street dirtB．lower the Chicago RiverC．fight against heavy floodsD．build the pipes above ground63．The underlined word"hoist"in Paragraph 4means""．A．changeB．liftC．repairD．decorate64．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel？A．It went on smoothly as intended．B．It interrupted the business of the hotel．C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews．D．It separated the building from its foundation．65．The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's．A．popular life styles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievements．66．（10分）Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly？Imagine having your entire houses，garage，and yard inspected at any time ﹣﹣with no warning．Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse （灯塔）living，and a keeper's reputation depended on results．A few times each year，an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station．The inspections were supposed to be a surprise，but keeper sometimes had advance notice．Once lighthouses had telephones，keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching．After boats began flying special flags noting the inspectoraboard，the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first．As soon as someone spotted the boat，everyone would do last﹣minute tidying and change into fancy clothes．The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap．Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust．Despite the serious nature of inspections，they resulted in some funny moments．Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection．At the time，people did not have dishwashers in their homes．In an effort to clean up quickly，Mrs．Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan，covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven．If the inspector opened the oven door，it would look like bread was baking．he never did．One day，Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house．Like floor wax，the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood．This time，though，she used a little too much oil．When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother，he slipped on the freshly oiled surface．"He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight，"Glenn late wrote．After he steadied himself，he shook Glenn's mother's hand，and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened．66．What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station？A．It was carried out once a year．B．It was often announced in advance．C．It was important for the keeper's fame．D．It was focused on the garage and yard．67．The family began making preparations immediately after．A．one of the members saw the boatB．a warning call reached the lighthouseC．the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD．the inspector flew special flags in the distance68．Mrs．Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would．A．result in some funB．speed up washing themC．make her home look tidyD．be a demand from the inspector69．If the inspector had opened the oven door，he would have seen．A．an empty panB．many clean dishesC．pieces of baked breadD．a cloth covering something70．The inspector waved his arms．A．to try his best to keep steadyB．to show his satisfaction with the floorC．to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's

that I __________ him．He suddenly glanced at me and said quietly，"Why are you staring at me like that？"（）A．would look at B．looked atC．was looking at D．am looking at【分析】他当时一定感觉到我在看他．他突然瞥了我一眼然后静静地说："你为什么那样盯着我？"【解答】答案：C 因为"must have done"这一结构是对过去动作的推测．表示"当时一定做…"．sensed 后是that引导的宾语从句，由于主句是过去的动作，所以从句应该用过去的相应时态，由sensed可知，动作正在发生，故用过去进行时．A 项是过去将来时；B项是一般过去式；C项是过去进行时，符合题意；D项是现在进行时．故选C．29．（1分）（2015•湖南）It is a truly delightful place，__________ looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty cottages．（）A．as B．where C．that D．which【分析】这确实是一个令人愉快的地方，这里的蜿蜒小路和美丽的农舍看起来一定和100年前的一模一样．【解答】答案：D 从句子表面看，此句有逗号，又没有连词，说明是一个非限制性定语从句．先行词是place．从句中缺少主语，应用代词，排除B项．由于that不引导非限制性定语从句，又排除C项．as引导定语从句时，常与the same…as，as…as，such…as 等连用，或用于as is reported/expected/known等句式．which可以引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语、宾语等．故选D项．30．（1分）（2015•湖南）When the clerk saw a kind face wrinkled in an apologetic smile，she stood rooted to the ground，__________whether to stay or leave．（）A．wondering B．wonder C．to wonder D．wondered【分析】当这个职员看到一张满是皱纹的善良脸庞上露出的歉意微笑时，她就像生了根似的站在那里，不知道是走还是留．【解答】题干中的主语she与动词wonder 之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，即主动意思．且动词wonder伴随主句的谓语动词stood同时存在，所以用非谓语动词的现在分词形式作伴随状语，故选A．不定式（to do）作状语时，可表示目的、结果（意料之外）、原因等，而题干中则表示一个主动，伴随的动作，故排除C．题干中主句的谓语动词stood时态是一般过去式，如果要表示一个并列的动作，动词wonder则需与stood保持一致，用一般过去式wondered，但题干中又缺少一个并列连词链接这两个动作，所以B、D都错误．31．（1分）（2015•湖南）Always __________ in mind that your main task is to get this company running smoothly．（）A．to keep B．to have kept C．keep D．have kept【分析】一定要记住你的主要任务是让公司正常地运转．【解答】答案：C keep in mind 为固定短语，意思是"记住"．由于祈使句的结构要遵循"祈使句，无主语，动词原形作谓语"这一原则，所以选B．32．（1分）（2015•湖南）I had a strong desire to reach in and play with the toy，but __________ thankfully by the shop window．（）A．am held back B．held backC．hold back D．was held back【分析】我极其渴望进到商店去玩那个玩具，但是幸亏被橱窗挡住了．【解答】答案D．根据前面句中的had可知，时态是一般过去时，hold与主语构成逻辑上的被动关系，因此用一般过去时的被动语态，故选D．33．（1分）（2015•湖南）__________ the job takes a significant amount of time，most students agree that the experience is worth it．（）A．If only B．After C．Although D．In case【分析】尽管这项工作要花大量的时间，但是大多数学生认为去体验一番还是值得的．【解答】答案C．A选项"但愿，要是…就好了"主要用在虚拟语气中，用以表达强烈的愿望或非真实条件；B选项"在…之后（引导时间状语从句）"；D选项"以防，万一（引导条件状语从句）"常用为"in case+句子或in case of+名词"；C选项"虽然，尽管（引导让步状语从句）"；根据句意和逻辑关系可推知这里是由although引导的让步状语从句．C项符合语境，故选C．34．（1分）（2015•湖南）Sometimes I act as a listening ear for fellow students __________what is bothering them．（）A．to talk over B．talked overC．talk over D．having talked over【分析】句意：有时我充当一个倾听者来倾听我的同学们讨论他们的烦心事．【解答】答案A．根据句意，有时我充当一个倾听者"是为了"倾听我的同学们讨。

The three letters present viewpoints on _______.A. real source of road dangerB. ways to improve road facilitiesC. measures to punish road offencesD. increased awareness of road rulesBIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.61. The author mentions the joke to show ______.A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. the Chicago people were particularly humorous62. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.A. get rid of the street dirtB. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground63. The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A. changeB. liftC. repairD. decorate64. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A. It went on smoothly as intended.B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D. It separated the building from its foundation.65. The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsCHave your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector was aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C. It was important for the keeper's fame.D. It was focused on the garage and yard.67. The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A. one of the members saw the boatB. a warning call reached the lighthouseC. the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD. the inspector flew special flags in the distance68. Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A. result in some funB. speed up washing themC. make her home look tidyD. be a demand from the inspector69. If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A. an empty panB. many clean dishesC. pieces of baked breadD. a cloth covering something70. The inspector waved his arms ______.A. to try his best to keep steadyB. to show his satisfaction with the floorC. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD. to express his intention to continue the inspection。

Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector was aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C. It was important for the keeper's fame.D. It was focused on the garage and yard.67. The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A. one of the members saw the boatB. a warning call reached the lighthouseC. the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD. the inspector flew special flags in the distance68. Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A. result in some funB. speed up washing themC. make her home look tidyD. be a demand from the inspector69. If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A. an empty panB. many clean dishesC. pieces of baked breadD. a cloth covering something70. The inspector waved his arms ______.A. to try his best to keep steadyB. to show his satisfaction with the floorC. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD. to express his intention to continue the inspectionPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check its special features.A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75,000 entries, making it easy to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enoughentries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium-sized, generally containing over 170,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.71.Select 72.inadequate73.wold information 74.desk dictionary75.extra features rge and heavy77.schools and libraries 78.admitting new words79.check 80.access toSection B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New ThingsFor most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework; instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in the future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.81.

Its bald head was moving slightly from side to side 39 its mother.Amazed, I knew what I should do next. I got a 40 from my basement and placed it against the tree. It w as then that I heard a sound “miaow”. Looking through the leaves, I saw the culprit(肇事者), a neighborhood cat. He must have shaken the bird out of the 41 and gotten himself trapped up in the tree as well. Climbing up through the branches, I 42 him, gave him a scolding and dropped him softly to the ground. Then I gently picked up the baby bird and slowly reached my arm out as 43 as I could to place it in the nest.In the following weeks I have looked up at the nest several times, but have only been able to see the mother bird.

Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers(唱颂歌的人) walking in these streets that were lined with boarded-up(用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down in the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but the bright sun couldn’t warm the place.Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one house and our group knocked on the door. Our arms were filled with ham, bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown(睡衣) with undone hair. She was in her late-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years.“Sacred Heart food deliver service,” I smiled. “ Where can we put this for you? ”She pointed to a place and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions of the house they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers(尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was the reality for this family. We set boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand.“You don’t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family,” she said, crying. “Weare just getting by.” I opened my arms and gave her a hug.“Happy holidays!” I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside. This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.61.

The new terms include weixin, or WeChat etc. There are also some older words recently used again and repurposed for contemporary(当代的) use, such as tuhao. Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel, tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in China: people who are “extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values.”But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut, while other popular terms were shut out? Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi, shengnü, and baifumei.Li Xingjian, the chief editor of the dictionary, said about 30 language experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms. They took into account three main considerations: whether the term has entered public topic, whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a minimum level of tastefulness.“We considered and discussed a huge list,” Mr. Li said. “A term like diaosi is not very tasteful, and it’s unlikely to be used for much longer. And shengnü, we thought it wasn’t that significant. It’s used a lot by young people online, but otherwise people don’t really use it.”“On the other hand, tuhao has always been around. It has a mocking(嘲弄的) meaning, but it’s not necessarily negative,” he said. “We think it’ll stay around for a while, because in real life there really are these kinds of people and therefore a need to descri be them.”The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese, first published in 2004, is appreciated especially by scholars and those interested in contemporary usage. But it is not the first reference dictionary in China. That honor still goes to the New China Character Dictionary and the Contemporary ChineseDictionary. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised, with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones.66. What does the underlined words phrase “make the cut” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Select.B. Exclude.C. Replace.D. Explain.67. How many aspects were taken into consideration to choose the new terms for the dictionary?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.68. Why was shengnü not chosen into the new Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese?A. Because it is never used in their daily life.B. Because it is not popular on the Internet these days.C. Because it is neither tasteful nor likely to endure long.D. Because it is not so important and is mainly used online by young people.69. Which is NOT True according to the passage?A. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese was first published in 2004.B. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is the first reference dictionary.C. The term tuhao will exist for some time.D. About 30 language experts worked for over three years to choose the new terms.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised.B. People think differently about the newly chosen terms.C. Many new terms were chosen into the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese.D. The language experts think highly of newly chosen terms.Part Ⅳ Writing (45marks)Section A (10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give to their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that tod ay’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. Hisresult, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence. These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more important.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people have been injured in a stampede thatbroke out during a New Year Eve celebration in downtown Shanghai,which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake moneythrown from the balcony of a building.Survivors described the stampede as “horrible and hellish.”A woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her armsin the chaos. Her son followed her. Dirty shoe prints covered her son’sclothes when the 12-year-old boy came to safety.“The crowd was in a panic. We stood in the crowd, feeling squeezed and almost out of breath,” a boy said. “Some yelled for help, but the noise was too loud.”Other survivors said police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out people who were stuck, but without much success.The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai-based Fudan University. The student, surnamed Du from Yunnan Province, was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital.“The chaos lasted several minutes, and then some of the injured were seen being carried out of the crowd,” Yu said.Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an immediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future.The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to deal with the aftermath.Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in China, the world's most populous country. Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures.In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in Yunnan Province after a stairway was blocked. In January 2014, a mosque(清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 2004, a stampede on a bridge in suburban Beijing killed 37 during a local lantern festival.81. How did the boy feel in the crowd?(No more than 12 words) (3 marks)82.
