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.

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 mo rning, 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 task that suits that man’s need, l ike taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral.

They left for the airport.getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back.He left his high camp at 1 a.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 15 times 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 13 other 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 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 14 highest 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 3refers to (指的是)__________.A.being physical fitB.climbing EverestB. ing oxygen when climbing D.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.DParents 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 (品德) 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 48 children between four andnine 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 (供认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?The children’s answers 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 Paragragh 1mean?A. 委屈B. 责备C. 否认D. 拒绝43.Paragragh 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 act44.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 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’sconfessions.D.Parents should show positive feeling about theirchildren’s confessions.四、辞汇运用（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.The ______faces were a sight, covered with dust.

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 wonderwhere 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 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.One day, Laurie saw the four March girls walking quietly through the garden. He f__66__them.

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’s13other 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 by 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 preparations 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’s14highest 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 Everest without oxygen.

More of the four-to-five year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping 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.如果您喜欢这篇文档，欢迎下载！祝成绩进步，学习愉快！毕业学校_____________姓名________________考生号___________________________________________-------------在--------------------此--------------------卷--------------------上--------------------答--------------------题--------------------无--------------------效----------------Tips Stay outside with61.________technology•Do something outside to get yourself bored.•Be away from the62.________for a while dailyand you will make better decisions.Do something that scares you•Remember your63.________when you do thesescary things.•Trust the process in the future.Conclusion•The more you do,the more in64._________you’llfeel.•Stop worrying about which65.________to go andjust start moving.六、缺词填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分)根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。

But my husband, Larry,and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Ourhouse was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchentable. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked thingsup and put them down. Mother’s crying went through myhead again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened.Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything Ican do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.Suddenly, thr doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and hiswife 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 wewant 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 n ext 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 task that suits that man’s n eed, 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 _____.

Heplanned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only afew climbers had managed to do. He’d failed twice, onceThe writer ’s brother was killed in a car crash. The writer washed the clothes. They left for the airport.getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back.He left his high camp at 1 a.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 15 times 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 13 other 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 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 14 highest 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 3refers to (指的是)__________.A.being physical fitB.climbing EverestB. ing oxygen when climbing D.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.DParents 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 (品德) 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 48 children between four andnine 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 (供认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?The children’s answers 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 Paragragh 1mean?A. 委屈B. 责备C. 否认D. 拒绝43.Paragragh 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 act44.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 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’sconfessions.D.Parents should show positive feeling about theirchildren’s confessions.四、辞汇运用（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.The ______faces were a sight, covered with dust.

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 wonderwhere 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 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.One day, Laurie saw the four March girls walking quietly through the garden. He f__66__them.

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.
