上学时我喜欢英语、生物和化学，但是我进大学该选哪门专业呢？直到有一天晚上坐在电脑旁研究中国的伟大女性时，我才知道了答案。‎ 很偶然地，我看到了一篇关于林巧稚大夫的文章。她是妇科专家，1901年出生，1983年去世。林巧稚似乎一直都在为自己选择的事业而奔忙，去国外留学，还写了很多书和文章。其中有一本书引起了我的注意，这是一本小书，介绍如何在从妇女怀孕到护理婴儿的过程中降低死亡率。她提出了一些可以遵循的简单的做法，能保持婴儿清洁和健康，让他们远离疾病。她为什么要写这些东西呢？林巧稚认为哪些妇女会需要这些建议呢？我细细地看了这篇文章，了解到那是为农村妇女写的。也许是她们遇到紧急情况时找不到医生。‎ 突然，我想起：在那个年代，一个女子去学医是多么困难啊！那可是一个女性受教育总是排在男性之后的年代。难道她比别人要聪明得多？进一步阅读使我了解到，是苦干、决心和善良的天性使她走进医学院的大门。后来使她成功的是她对所有病人献出的爱心和体贴。数不胜数的故事讲述着林巧稚如何在劳累一天之后，又在深夜去为贫苦家庭的产妇接生，而这些家庭是不可能给她报酬的。‎ 现在，我迫不及待地想多了解一些有关她的情况。我发现林巧稚把毕生都奉献给了病人，而自己却选择了独身。她确保了大约五万名婴儿的安全出生。这时候，我非常激动。为什么不像林巧稚那样去读医学院，继续她的事业呢？现在努力提高学习成绩、准备大学入学 考试还不算晚……‎ Ⅰ.单词拼写 ‎1．It was a small book explaining (解释)how to cut the death rate

请从下列人物中选择你最喜欢的一位，用英语写一篇词数为100左右的短文。要求根据所给信息作适当发挥，且需包括以下三部分内容：‎ ‎1．对该人物的简单介绍；‎ ‎2．喜欢该人物的理由；‎ ‎3．从该人物身上得到的启示。‎ Thomas Edison Helen Keller William Shakespeare inventor；creative；diligent；full of wisdom ordinary but great woman；disabled；optimistic；eager to learn writer；talented；imaginative；man of all ages ‎“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration.”‎ ‎“...if I had the power of sight for three days.”‎ ‎“Life is a stage...”‎ 参考范文 Sample 1：Thomas Edison Born in America，Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor.He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating.In fact，he was a man full of imagination.‎ I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world.He had more than 1,000 inventions.In his lifetime，he was always eager to know how things worked，which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”．He was also so diligent that he worked day and night.And this explained why he had so many great inventions.‎ What impresses me most is his famous saying，“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration.”Probably I cannot be an Edison myself，but I can be a hardworking learner.From him，I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born，but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.‎ Sample 2：Helen Keller Every time I read“...if I had the power of sight for three days”，I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller，an ordinary but great American woman.‎ I admire Helen because she was optimistic about life.She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old.Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence，and communication seemed only a dream for her.But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life.Under the guidance of her teacher，Ms.Sulliven，Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer.For a disabled person like her，this was really a wonder!‎ Helen has set an excellent example to all of us.Her story tells us that we should value what we have，and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.‎ Sample 3：William Shakespeare Do you know Hamlet？Have you read The Merchant of Venice？These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare，my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!‎ Shakespeare，a son from a poor family，a man of little education，wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world.I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world；I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language；I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!‎ Since “Life is a stage”，we are actually all actors and actresses.On this stage，everyone has ‎ his own role to play，and I will try my best to play my role well.‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ Either you or one of your students ________ to attend the meeting that is due tomorrow.(湖南高考)‎ A．are B．is C．have D．be 答案　B 解析　句意为：你或者你的一位学生要参加定于明天的会议。本题主语由either...or...连接，谓语动词要根据or之后的部分来确定单复数形式，该句中or后是one of your students，所以谓语动词用单数形式。‎ 课文原文 Either rain or snow fell every day this week but everyone has tried to ignore it.‎ In April,2009，President Hu inspected the warships in Qingdao，________ the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PLA Navy.(福建高考)‎ A．marking B．marked C．having marked D．being marked 答案　A

activities.‎ The population of Jiangsu ________ to more than twice what it was in 1949.The figure is now approaching 74 million.(江苏高考)‎ A．has grown B．have grown C．grew D．are growing 答案　A 解析　‎ 本句中谈论的人口的增长是从1949年一直到现在的人口的增长，所以应该用现在完成时态。又因为population作主语时谓语动词应该用单数，所以此题选A。‎ 课文原文 For forty years Jane Goodall has_been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.‎ It was announced that only when the fire was under control ________to return to their homes.(江西高考)‎ A．the residents would be permitted B．had the residents been permitted C．would the residents be permitted D．the residents had been permitted 答案　C 解析　句意为：据宣布，只有在火势被控制住的时候居民们才被允许回到家中。that从句中only引导的时间状语从句位于句首，that从句需用部分倒装结构。‎ 课文原文 Only_after_her_mother_came_to_help_her_for_the_first_few_months_was_she allowed to begin her project.‎
