After 47 everything, it was time to fill out the applications. Despite the amounts, ranging from＄100 to ＄40,000, I took each scholarship 48 because together they would fund my goal.

Now I’ve won 51 scholarships and can attend college for free.‎ The scholarship search truly made me a 52 person.

The list includes the doctors, nurses, social workers, and even cleaning staff members who cared for her.‎ ‎“How do you remember any of their names?” they ask.‎ ‎“How could I not?” I respond.‎ Every single one of you treated Laura with such professionalism and kindness and dignity as she lay unconscious. When she needed shots, you apologized that it was going to hurt a little, whether or not she could hear. When you listened to her heart and lungs through your stethoscopes(听诊器)and her gown (长衫)began to slip, you pulled it up to respectfully cover her.‎ ‎ You spread a blanket when the room was just a little cold and you thought she’d sleep more comfortably that way. ‎ You cared so greatly for her parents, helping them climb into the room’s awkward recliner(躺椅), fetching them fresh water almost by the hour, and answering every one of their medical questions with patience.‎ Then there was how you treated me. How many times did you walk into the room to find me sobbing, my head down and resting on her hand, and quietly go about your task, as if willing yourselves invisible? How many times did you help me set up the recliner as close as possible to her bedside? How many times did you check on me to see whether I needed anything, from food to drink, from fresh clothes to a hot shower.‎ Really, I have all of you to thank for it with my eternal gratitude and love.‎ ‎58. We can infer from the first paragraph that  .‎ A. the writer could remember 15 doctors’ names B. the writer’s friends treated Laura for seven days C. the doctors were unable to save Laura in the end D. the writer’s friends didn’t want to listen to his story ‎59. How did the doctors and nurses treat the writer?‎ A. They helped him to get a bed close to his wife’s.‎ B. They gave him an examination to see if he was ill.‎ C. They tried not to disturb him when he was in deep sorrow.‎ D. They provided him with food, drink, fresh clothes and shower daily.‎ ‎60. The passage is mainly developed by   .‎ A. giving examples   B. comparing evidence C. listing suggestions   D. showing different opinions C Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture？‎ From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.‎ Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after ‎ President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to "winter time" starting on October 26.‎ Russia‎'s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year's Eve, Russians have the world's latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:‎30 a. m.‎ Russians also get up an hour later on International Women's Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.‎ Similarly, Americans' late nights, late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends. ‎ Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey (冰球) final. ‎ The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.‎ It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it's likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that's the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?‎ ‎61. What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?‎ ‎ A. They don't fall asleep until very late. B. They don't sleep much on weekends. ‎ ‎ C. They sleep longer than people elsewhere. D. They get less sleep on public holidays.‎ ‎62. The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means . ‎ ‎ A. depression B. loss C. observation D. trouble ‎ ‎63. What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their sleep patterns?‎ ‎ A. They have trouble falling asleep. B. They are involved in a sleep research.‎ ‎ C. They want to get sufficient sleep. D. They want to go to bed on regular hours.‎ ‎64. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Sleeplessness does harm to people's health.‎ ‎ B. It is important to study our sleep patterns.‎ ‎ C. Few people really know the importance of sleep.‎ ‎ D. Average people probably sleep. ‎ D ‎ The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.‎ He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day.‎ ‎ They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.‎ ‎ He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.‎ ‎ At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.‎ ‎ While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along it, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding－Dong－Dong”,“Ding－Dong－Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.‎ ‎ Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I'm going swimming, but you can't go, can you？”‎ ‎ No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.‎ ‎ Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you've got to work, hey？”‎ Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it's you, Ben! I wasn't noticing.”‎ ‎ “Say—I'm going swimming. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd rather work—wouldn't you? Of course you would.”‎ ‎ Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said, “What do you call work？”‎ ‎ “Why, isn't that work？”‎ ‎ Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.‎ ‎ “Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”‎ ‎ “Oh come, now, you don't mean to say that you like it？”‎ ‎ The brush continued to move.‎ ‎ “Like it? Well, I don't see why I shouldn't like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day？”‎ ‎ Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said，“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”‎ ‎ Tom thought for a moment, and was about to agree, but he changed his mind.‎ ‎ “No—no—it won't do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don't think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”‎ ‎ “No—is that so? Oh come, now—let me just try. Only just a little.” ‎ ‎ “Ben, I'd like to, but if it isn't done right, I'm afraid Aunt Polly … ”‎ ‎ “Oh, I'll be careful. Now let me try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple.”‎ ‎ “Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afraid …”‎ ‎ “I'll give you all of it.”‎ ‎ Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.‎ ‎ And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company, and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn't run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.‎ ‎ He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get. ‎ ‎65. How many characters are mentioned in this story? ‎ ‎ A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D.7‎ ‎66.Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?‎ ‎ A. Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys ‎ B. Because he wanted to throw his toys away ‎ C. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys ‎ D. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends ‎67.

Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence B. Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others C. Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence, but he managed to let other boys do it for him D. Tom was good at whitewashing the fence, so he looked at the result of work with the eye of an artist ‎69. What made Ben Rogers eagerly give up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom?‎ A.

We all have goals that we are moving towards and ‎ making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.‎ Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. ‎ Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. ‎ What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. ‎ So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. ‎ Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.‎ Title ‎ Focus on the present ‎ 91 ‎ To reach our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.‎ ‎  Common ‎ ‎ 92 ‎ ‎◆We do not focus on our present situations.‎ ‎◆Most of us see our present situations as a stepping stone to our destination.‎ ‎◆We do not spend the time truly 93 where we are today and what we already have in our lives.‎ Example—our job ‎◆Forget the thought of getting 94 . What we should do is 95 our best to do our current job. ◆To be the best in our current job, we should get further education, work harder than 96 , stop complaining and 97 ourselves to our job. ‎ ‎ 98 ‎ If we are 99 , grateful for what we have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can, we can not only 100 in the future, but also enjoy our life every day. ‎ 第七部分 书面表达 (共1题，满分20分)‎ 请你根据下面这幅漫画，用英语写一篇短文。短文内容应该包括以下三个方面： ‎ ‎1. 简述漫画的内容；‎ ‎2. 分析漫画反映的社会问题，并阐述其产生的原因；‎ ‎3. 发表自己的感受，并给出解决此问题的措施。‎ ‎【注意事项】‎ ‎1. 对所有要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译。‎ ‎2. 词数150字左右。‎ ‎3. 作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等。‎ 参考词汇：nutritive products 营养品 ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考答案 听力 ‎1-5 ABACB 6-10CCBCA 11-15BCACC 16-20CBCCB 单选 ‎21—25DBBAC 26—30BACBA 31—35 CDBDC 完形 ‎ ‎36—40 ACADC 41—45CDBBA 46—50 BCDCC 51—55 CAACA 阅读 ‎ ‎56—57 DA 58—60 CCA 61—64 DBCC 65—70 BCBCBA ‎ 单词拼写 ‎71.swore 72. temporarily 73. consultants 74.Absorbed 75.allocating ‎76.intention 77. strengthen 78. drawbacks 79. vacant 80.
