The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around. ‎ Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much taller, almost five foot ten. “Hannah's a knockout,” my mother always said. And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.‎ A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. “Let’s ride around a while,” I said. It was a clear night, full moon slung low over the desert. Taking a turning too fast, I plowed (撞)through a neighbor’s wall and drove into a full-grown tree. ‎ We were taken in separate ambulances. I’d cracked(使裂开)my cheek bone; Hannah’s forehead had split wide open. End of her modeling career. What would I say to her?‎ ‎ When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I rear-ended(追尾) my best friend when I was your age, ”she said, “I totaled her car and mine.”‎ ‎ “I’m so sorry.” I said.‎ ‎“You’re both alive,” she said, “The rest is window dressing. I forgive you. Hannah will too.”‎ Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout high school and college, to be at each other’s weddings … The scars are so faded that no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline --- for me, a mark of grace(优雅).‎ ‎21. Why did the author think her father’s present was a waste?‎ A. It wasn’t necessary for her. B. She had already owned a car.‎ C. Her family was very poor then. D. She didn’t have a driving license.‎ ‎22. What did the author and her friend do after leaving the movies?‎ A. They went for a drive. B. They enjoyed beautiful scenery.‎ C. They made a visit to a neighbor. D. They worked at the Mcdonald.‎ ‎23. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A valuable gift from my father. B. The meaning of friendship. ‎ C. An unforgettable journey. D. The gift of forgiveness.‎ ‎ B If you make a list of the top ten most challenging jobs in the world chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. Let’s think about their complex task millions of educators face each day as they try to teach a group of often unfriendly, disorderly kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially taking into consideration that there is no promotion waiting for them even if they are wildly successful!‎ What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s teaching campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to envision for their recently-held contest.‎ Their short films were called “A World without Teachers”, whose intention was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions (提交物) also serve as a reminder of how terrible things would be if we didn’t have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest contestants didn’t accept the idea that there’s no person to tell them what ‎ to do.‎ High-school student Savannah Wakefield considered if art as we know today would have been different without teachers. Would C. Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism?‎ Miles Horst who won the 1,000-dollar prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box”. Youth group winner Marina Barham’s video describes a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don’t just teach; they inspire—something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do!‎ So the next time you think your teacher is being “troublesome” for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her.‎ 24. Project Ed and Participant Media’s teaching campaign asked contestants to ______.‎ A. inspire more young people to become teachers B. point out which teacher has inspired them most C. imagine what the world would be like without teachers D. describe what effect teachers would have on their life ‎25. What is suggested in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Monet is regarded as the father of impressionism.‎ B. Monet’s great success was connected with his teachers.‎ C. Monet’s teachers made a great contribution to modern art.‎ D. Monet was good at discovering his students’ talent for drawing.‎ ‎26. What does Marina Barham’s video tell us?‎ A. Teachers prefer to inspire their students instead of teaching.‎ B. The role of teachers cannot be replaced by anything else.‎ C. The function of teachers cannot be forgotten by the world.‎ D. Teachers often show the right direction to their students.‎ C From ancient stories to modern researches, the label（标签）attached to being left-handed is undeniable. Left-handed people, or “lefties” as they are often called, are generally believed to be good at art — Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Michelangelo are all left-handed.‎ Our brain is divided into two parts: the left hemisphere（大脑半球）and the right hemisphere. The ‎ left hemisphere, linked to logic and analysis, is responsible for the right side of the body. The right hemisphere, linked to creativity and imagination, controls the left side of the body. So, people tend to believe lefties are controlled by the right side of the brain, and are more creative than right-handers. Some also think that lefties may not be as good as right-handers in mathematics and problem-solving skills.‎ However, a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong. The study involved（涉及）more than 2,300 students in Italy aged between 6 and 17 years old. They were asked to complete several mathematical tasks of different levels. It turned out that the left-handers outperformed the others when the tasks involved difficult problem-solving. This pattern was particularly clear in male adolescents. However, when it came to simple arithmetic（算术）, there was no difference between left-handers and right-handers.‎ It was also discovered that those who are “severely” right-handed performed less well in all the experiments compared to "medium” right-handers and left-handers.‎ ‎“Taken together, these findings show that handedness does influence abilities to some degree,” the study’s authors wrote. However, “handedness is just an indirect expression of brain function,” wrote psychology professor Giovanni Sala from the University of Liverpool in the UK, the lead author of the study. Sala also noted that only one third of people with a highly-developed right side of the brain are left-handed. It means that there are lots of right-handed people with a similar brain function as left-handers.‎ 27. The author begins the text by .‎ A. telling some ancient stories.‎ B. giving examples of artworks.‎ C. introducing a modern research.‎ D. presenting conventional（传统的） wisdom.‎ 28. What is the main focus of paragraph 2?‎ A. Skills of solving problems.‎ B. Ways of becoming creative.‎ C. People's opinions of left-handers.‎ D. The functions of two hemispheres.‎ 29. What can we learn from the recent study led by Giovanni Sala?‎ A. Handedness doesn't have any association with brain function.‎ B. People with a highly-developed right hemisphere are most likely lefties.‎ A. The “severely” right-handed are far better at simple arithmetic than lefties.‎ B. Right-handers didn't perform as well as lefties when handling tough problems.‎ 27. The text is most probably taken from .‎ A. a medical report B. a science magazine ・‎ C. a biology textbook D. an education essay 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Recently, crazy rich Asians are posting photos of themselves facing down and surrounded by luxury goods in a new trend sweeping social media. ‎ Falling down in public is embarrassing for most people. However, the new social media craze（时尚）called the “Falling Stars Challenge” has turned falling into something fun to do.‎ The craze began in Russia. ____31__. Items like handbags, accessories (配饰) and cash were spread out on the ground around them in the photos. People shared these photos to show off their wealth.‎ The craze soon became popular around the world. ____32__. People are using it to show off their hobbies and professional talent. The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their lives.‎ ‎____33___. For example, students fall down on textbooks and test papers. Police officers fall in front of their police cars with handcuffs (手铐) in their hands. Famous people are also taking the challenge. Writer Liu Tong took a fall with dozens of copies of his new book.‎ More than 1.08 million Chinese have taken this challenge on Sina Weibo. Their pictures have been viewed more than 2.22 billion times. Internet users also comment on these posts. ___34__. One Weibo user wrote: “This shows the positive energy of fighting and working hard. Applause for these young people!”‎ However, some also think the craze is just another example of a successful internet meme (网络爆红). __35__. What do you think? Will you try this challenge? A. They think people are just imitating others. B. Most of them speak highly of the craze. C. However, in China, it is taking on a new meaning. ‎ D. The challenge is particularly popular among young people. E. The biggest reason for the success of the challenge is simple. F. People from all walks of life are taking part in it. G. People posted pictures of themselves faking a fall.‎ 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ It was a cold, rainy day, and I had no desire to drive up for two hours along the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house.

He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos. His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.‎ ‎ In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy ‎ hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us. ‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. _______________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. ________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎10月月考答案 ‎1-5 BBAAC 6-10 CABAC 11-15 ABBCA 16-20 BCBCA ‎21-23 AAD 24-26 CBB 27-30 DCDB ‎31-35 GCFBA ‎36-40 CBBAD 41-45 DCACD 46-50 BADBA 51-55 CDCBA ‎56.who/that 57.attended 58.inspired 59.exposed 60.deadly ‎61.was understood 62. an 63. out 64.to blame ‎ ‎65.(should) be examined 书面表达 One possible version:‎ Dear Miss Kane，‎ ‎ I am glad to receive your letter of April 3rd.

Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to chase it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of fruitless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.‎
