She was not the leggy, attractive Hollywood type. In fact, she described herself as stupid.‎ Her name is Reese Witherspoon. Since Reese Witherspoon was six years old, she had admired and respected Dolly Patton, who was a famous country singer. For three years she had gone all out to act, dance and sing, fancying that she could be another Dolly Patton. ‎ However, at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing. They suggested she think about another career. She took their words to heart. After all, why shouldn't she believe the professionals? ‎ But back at home in Nashville, her mother—a funny, happy, optimistic woman--wouldn't let her feel depressed. Her father, a physician, encouraged her to achieve in school. So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford‎ ‎University. ‎ And at 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway, which prepared for her role ‎ in the movie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde. ‎ ‎"If you can't sing and you aren't charming, play to your strengths. If you're going to make it in this business, better focus on what you're good at," she told the interviewer later. ‎ And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville-playing the wife of a country star Johnny Cash, a singing role. All of a sudden the old fears learned on that summer stage were back. She was so nervous on the stage. But she didn't give up on the movie or herself. She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again. She learned to play the Autoharp. And the hard work built up her confidence.‎ Last March, Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and accepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking, heartwarming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.‎ ‎（1）Why was Reese Witherspoon sad at the end of the camp? ‎ A.She was described foolish. B.She had to go back home. C.She failed to be famous. D.She was told to give up singing.‎ ‎（2）What was Reese's parents' response after her coaches suggested her giving up singing? ‎ A.They agreed with her coaches. B.They encouraged her. C.They ignored her frustration. D.They only focused on her study.‎ ‎（3）How did Reese succeed in playing the singing role? ‎ A.By practicing autoharp for over 6 months. B.By regaining her confidence through hard work. C.By making herself leggy and attractive. D.By forgetting that summer stage.‎ ‎（4）Which is the best title for the passage? ‎ A.A successful actress B.Reese Witherspoon C.Fortune is important ‎ ‎ D.Never give up ‎3.阅读理解 ‎ Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing(冲洗) off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.‎ The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.‎ But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.‎ The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大肠杆菌) and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.‎ To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.‎ ‎（1）People don't accept USDA's advice because _______. ‎ A.the advice is relatively new.‎ B.cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.‎ C.cleaning seems more trustworthy.‎ D.heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.‎ ‎（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? ‎ A.Food packages carry germs.‎ B.Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.‎ C.Hands and surfaces are easy to get E coli.‎ D.Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.‎ ‎（3）Which way may help to cook a turkey safely? ‎ A.Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.‎ B.Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.‎ C.Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.‎ D.Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.‎ ‎（4）From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken? ‎ A.Cooking. B.Technology. C.Science. D.Medicine.‎ ‎4.阅读理解 ‎ Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods (GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a nonspecific but stable change. For many people, the hightech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.‎ In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S.‎ last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.‎ However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?‎ The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's ‎ population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don't have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defects. As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.‎ How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.‎ ‎（1）The passage mainly talks about________. ‎ A.the world's food problem.‎ B.the development in biotech. C.the way to solve food shortages. D.the genetically modified foods.‎ ‎（2）According to the passage, GM foods________. ‎ A.will replace naturally grown foods. B.may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition. C.are far better than naturally grown foods. D.can cause serious trouble in developing countries.‎ ‎（3）The underlined sentence "The genetic genie is out of the bottle." in Paragraph 2 probably means that________. ‎ A.GM foods are available everywhere.‎ B.the technology in producing GM foods is advanced. C.genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets. D.genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers.‎ ‎（4）What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods? ‎ A.Cautious. B.Enthusiastic. C.Disapproving. D.Unbelievable.‎ 二、任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)（共1题；共10分）‎ ‎5.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。 ‎ Many children like to eat snacks in everyday life, and some of them even have snacks during dinner. To maintain the normal meals and stay healthy, it is necessary to regularly eat snacks for children in their spare time.________‎ Prepare healthy snacks in advance. ‎ When you make something yourself, you get to control the ingredients(原料）and put in what's good for you! You can also keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home to take on the go. ________Keep the servings in bags in the fridge, ready to grab and go.‎ Keep healthy snacks with you.‎ Make it a habit to store some fruit, whole-grain crackers, or baby carrots in your backpack so you always have some healthy food nearby. Half a cheese sandwich also makes a great snack to have on standby(备用).‎ ‎________‎ Healthy snacking doesn't have to be boring as long as you give yourself a variety of choices. Whole-wheat biscuits with peanut butter or low fat fruit yogurt are healthy, tasty, and easy.‎ Satisfy cravings(渴望）with healthier approaches.‎ ‎________An 8-ounce mug of hot chocolate has only 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. A chocolate bar, on the other hand, has 230 calories and 13 grams of fat.‎ Evenings can be a tempting time to have sugary, fatty snacks.

of固定短语，“使某人摆脱......”，故填of。‎ ‎（2）考查引导词。句意：但是，如何扩大农作物产量一直困扰着他。此句是"how+不定式”作主语，故填how。‎ ‎（3）考查形容词。句意：这个令人不安的问题导致他后悔当了一个农民。形容词修饰名词作定语，故用disturbing。‎ ‎（4）考查代词。句意：他宁愿选择另一份工作。another job“另一份工作”，故填another。‎

 ④advise →advice  ⑤删掉have  ⑥make →making  ⑦of →in  ⑧how →what  ⑨In 后加a/one  ⑩are →is ‎ ‎【考点】短文改错 ‎ ‎【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，一个人独自做决定是有一定风险的，有些决定只能在通过与别人讨论之后才能做出．当作决定咨询别人时要遵循两点：第一，听取你所尊重的，足以信赖的人的判断；第二，如果你与一个人的观点不同，就要讨论一下该怎样做．总之，一些重大决定能导致一定的问题，与家人或朋友讨论一下就可能会得到好的主意。‎ ‎（1）考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用副词作状语，故complete改为completely。‎ ‎（2）考查副词。这里用副词so与后面的that构成"so…that…"结构，意为"如此.....以至于......"，故very改为so。‎ ‎（3）考查固定句式。分析句意为"这里有几个优点"，这是一个存现句，要用there be句型，be 的单复数形式与后面的名词的单复数形式保持一致；动词have也可以表示"有"‎ ‎，但英语中没有there have这种表达方法，故have改为are。‎ ‎（4）考查名词。advice意为"建议"，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，所以这里用advice，故advices改为advice。‎ ‎（5）考查语态。句意：你所忽视的一些事情。you 与overlooked应当是主动关系，故去掉been。‎ ‎（6）考查非谓语动词。介词from后面要用名词或动名词作宾语，故make改为making。‎ ‎（7）考查介词。句意：你应当记住两件事。keep in mind 固定短语，"记住"，所以of改为in。‎ ‎（8）考查表语从句。分析句子结构可知do是及物动词，不定式前用关系代词what做动词do的宾语。故how改为what。‎ ‎（9）考查冠词。in a word固定短语，"总之，简言之"，故word前面加a。‎ ‎（10）考查主谓一致。动名词短语“Talking to friends or family members” 作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式，故are改为is。‎ ‎【点评】本题考点涉及副词，名词，语态，非谓语动词，介词，表语从句，冠词，主谓一致以及固定句式等多个知识点的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。‎ 六、书面表达 (满分25分) ‎ ‎9.【答案】 Dear Sir or Madam, ‎ I feel it a great honor to be welcomed to get involved in such a meaningful activity.‎ As for me, reading an instructive book is just like talking with a learned person. It is universally acknowledged that reading lays a solid foundation for further learning. Additionally, a wide range of reading can broaden our horizons and enrich our amateur life. As a matter of fact, I believe, only through reading can the soul be strengthened and the ambition be inspired.‎ When it comes to the books I've read, A Global History has had a far-reaching influence on me. The book gives the history of the world from the historical age to modern times. Not only has it incredibly enlarged my knowledge and benefited me to see the world logically, but also got me enthusiastic about history. If you're looking for something of this sort to read, it's really a good choice.‎ ‎【考点】提纲作文，文字式应用文，半开放性作文 ‎ ‎【解析】【分析】本题是一篇英文信件，要求考生以李华的身份写一篇短文。写作背景：《21st Century》报刊正在举办 “分享一本好书”的活动，邀请你投稿。写作要点已经给出，属于提纲类作文，内容包括：1）谈谈你对阅读的看法；2）分享一本对你影响最大的书。提示中的内容比较泛泛，需要适当补充。本题对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。需要注意紧扣文章主题，给出的要点都需要包括。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。‎ ‎【点评】本篇作文要点齐全，结构完整，条理清晰，应用了较多的语法结构和词汇，熟练地使用了语句间的连接成分，使整个文章结构紧凑，很好地完成了写作任务。例如：It is universally acknowledged that reading lays a solid foundation for further learning. 运用了it作形式主语和主语从句； As a matter of fact, I believe, only through reading can the soul be strengthened and the ambition be inspired.运用了插入语和倒装句；   When it comes to the books I've read, A Global History has had a far-reaching influence on me. 运用了时间状语从句； Not only has it incredibly enlarged my knowledge and benefited me to see the world logically, but also got me enthusiastic about history.运用了倒装句；If you're looking for something of this sort to read, it's really a good choice.运用了条件状语从句。  ‎
