I wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost as if I was just trying to spread the abundance(充足) of love I was receiving. It was then that I saw a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She wasn’t wearing any shoes or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes and she was making her way through the garbage, trying to find something that would be of use to her.‎ I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them up in a plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.‎ The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She thanked me in a trembling(颤抖的) voice.‎ A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled when he saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave me friendly looks.‎ Although I had to wear my dad’s shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large for my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That day I learned that letting go ofthe little things we own can be a big help to others.‎ ‎21. What does the underlined word “tattered” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Old and torn. B. Large and new.‎ 10‎ C. Colorless and small. D. Thick and old.‎ ‎22. In the passage, we are told that _______.‎ A. the author liked going down streets on rainy days B. the author liked walking in her father’s shoes C. nobody wanted to help the poor girl D. the author was very kind-hearted ‎23. What did the musician’s and the watchmen’s reactions to the author’s behavior mean?‎ A. They were laughing at the author.‎ B. They thought what the author did was right.‎ C. They also wanted to help the poor girl.‎ D. They were curious about what the author did.‎ B Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.‎ In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.‎ Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新).‎ Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.‎ Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!‎ ‎24. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?‎ A. Several different New Year traditions B. The meaning of “Happy New Year!”‎ C. What to eat on New Year’s Day D. Why people dress up nicely on New Year’s Day ‎25. What do you know from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. Different cultures celebrate the beginning and ending of a year in the same way.‎ 10‎ B. The Western people celebrate the New Year only by watching the sunrise.‎ C. People around the world celebrate the New Year at different times.‎ D. People hold parties, wear new clothes and drink champagne for a whole day.‎ ‎26. Which of following is CORRECT if people want to escape bad luck and wish for good luck?‎ A. Families make big dolls filled with old clothes.‎ B. Friends tell something special to each other.‎ C. Some people get up early to watch the sunrise.‎ D. Europeans eat 365 grapes on New Year’s Day.‎ C The negative health effects of sleep shortages during the week can’t be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.‎ Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation(缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.‎ The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption(代谢紊乱) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.‎ ‎“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your routine. It’s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who oversaw the research. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”‎ Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep—cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.‎ ‎27. What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?‎ A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.‎ B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.‎ C. People’s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.‎ D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.‎ ‎28. Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.‎ A. call on smokers to completely abandon smoking B. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke 10‎ C. show people have known the harm brought by smoking D. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation ‎29. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Putting tasks in order of importance.‎ B. Getting more than enough of something to deposit it.‎ C. Cutting down something that is not necessary any more.‎ D. Treating something as being more important than others.‎ ‎30. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Weekend catch-up sleep is a lie.‎ B. Bad sleep habits are harmful to health.‎ C. Smoking is not the worst thing to health.‎ D. A new study has an unexpected discovery.‎ 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。‎ An 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom, “I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is.” However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of Mckinney, Texas, don’t think so. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.‎ Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill. 31 Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.‎ Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. 32 “What doesn’t work”, parenting experts say, “is constant lectures, verbal threats or getting very angry.”‎ Mrs. Perkins says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla’s floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting, “How can I live without my clothes?” Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. 33‎ ‎ 34 For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn’t bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.‎ Parenting experts, Jim Fay, also recommends that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit. 35‎ A. Children often behave better if you treat them with respect and high expectations.‎ B. It’s easy said than done.‎ C. Humor can help, too.‎ D. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they 10‎ ‎ don’t.‎ E. The mess can disturb the whole household.‎ F. These days, she keeps her room clean.‎ G. Every family has different ways of dealing with it.‎ 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四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother.

His name is Andrew and he has something 42 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”‎ ‎“We don’t 43 miracles here, child, I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling 44 at the little girl.‎ In the shop was a 45 customer. He stooped(弯腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother 46?”‎ ‎“I don’t know,” she replied, “He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 47. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 48.”‎ ‎“How much do you have?” asked the man. ‎ ‎“One dollar and eleven cents, 49 I can try and get some more,” she answered quietly.‎ ‎“Well, what a coincidence(巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents—the 50 price of a miracle for little brothers 51 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 52 your parents.”‎ That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon(外科医生).

Since it was first explored in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, various countries 57(try) to use it for different purposes.‎ However, in 1961, 12 countries agreed to sign the Antarctic Treaty. This means that the entire area was 58 nuclear-free zone and could only be used for 59(peace) purposes. Antarctica became the biggest laboratory in the world, with many scientists 60(conduct) research there. Today 42 countries have signed the treaty, and have sent scientists to study in the area. Every summer, 3,000 scientists arrive to carry out a variety of research 61(project).‎ Unlike the Arctic in the north, 62 is just made up of ice, Antarctica is an actual land mass. In fact, it is one 63(ten) of the land surface of the earth. Over 140 million years ago, Antarctica was a green and living place. However, the land mass 64(gradual) moved to the colder areas in the South, and now it is just as frozen as the Arctic.‎ Tourism has finally reached the great frozen wilderness. People come to see the local bird life, to go mountaineering, or to visit the South Pole. 65 we are not careful, it will not remain a wilderness for much longer.‎ 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节应用文写作(15分)‎ 假设你是某英语报社的编辑Rina，收到Li Wei同学的来信，诉说因为肥胖常遭到同学嘲笑的苦恼，并向你寻求建议。请你根据以下提示给Li Wei回信。‎ 10‎ 1. 自信乐观，不要太在乎他人的看法；‎ 2. 合理饮食，拒绝高脂肪食物；‎ 3. 适当运动，经常锻炼身体。‎ 要求：1.须包括所有要点提示并适当补充，语句通顺，意思连贯；‎ ‎2. 100词左右；开头和结尾已给出，不计人总词数。‎ Dear Li Wei,‎ I’ve received your letter and I can understand you. ‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Rina One sample version:‎ Dear Li Wei,‎ I have received your letter and I can understand you.

I ran to my class, causing my slight limp(跛行) to become even more apparent. Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I took my place in the first row of desks and I was grateful for alphabetic seating. My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her remarks, they would wave it off and tell me to ignore her.      Still, I hated that I didn’t walk like everyone else. I didn’t like not being able to run as fast or as straight as the other kids and I didn’t like getting picked last for teams in gym class. Mostly, though, I really hated it when people like Betsy made negative remarks about how I walked. ‎ 10‎ ‎      One day, our teacher asked us to change seats. “Class,” our teacher addressed us one morning, “you’ve been in the same seats for a full semester and you’ve become friendly with the students around you. Now it’s time to change seats and make some new friends.” The class let out a collective moan(抱怨). As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa, and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.      I knew this wasn’t going to be good and I soon discovered I was right. Betsy often leaned into my back: “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. When that didn’t work, she poked(戳)me. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mom what had happened at school. 注意:  1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右;             2. 应使用5个以上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:     My mother sat me down and began to talk. _________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:      Then one day I did what my mother taught me and amazing things happened._____________‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________‎ One sample version:‎ My mother sat me down and began to talk. “Look,” she held my hand, “there will always be mean people like Betsy in this world. That is hard to change. But you can change the way you handle them. Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Treat them with kindness’?” I shook my head. “It’s simple. Just show your kindness to the girl now and then. If she drops her pen, pick it up and hand it to her. Things like that. Just be nice to her.”     Then one day I did what my mother taught me and amazing things happened. Our teacher announced seriously that there would be an exam the next morning. As Betsy was not good at study, I offered to help her review. Betsy was surprised but grateful. She said shyly, “You’re so nice. I truly regret making those rude remarks on you. Can we be friends? ” I was glad that I had followed my mom’s advice. It was just what I needed. And probably just what Betsy needed, too.‎ 10‎
