He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes,‎ ‎ eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.‎ Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.‎ ‎“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)——the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.‎ The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”‎ In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.‎ ‎21. Why did the girl complain to her father?‎ A. Because of her hard life.‎ B. Because of her tiring job.‎ C. Because of her father’s busy work.‎ D. Because of the food her father cooked.‎ ‎22. What can we infer from this story?‎ A. The girl liked the coffee best.‎ B. The father was good at cooking.‎ C. The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs.‎ D. Different people have different reactions to adversity.‎ ‎23. What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 5th paragraph?‎ A. thick B. easily-broken C. strong D. hard B The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?‎ Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.‎ People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.‎ People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.‎ If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.‎ People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.‎ People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.‎ ‎24. Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things___.‎ A. tend to affect human survival immediately B. are much more important than other things C. can make people live much happier D. are easy to remember ‎25. According to this passage, people may find happiness in___.‎ A. being famous B. chasing power C. setting life goals D. earning money ‎26. In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us to ____.‎ A. think more about our future B. be positive in our life and work C. focus on everything in our life D. only enjoy the present moment ‎27. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?‎ A. Why people remember positive things easily.‎ B. Why people remember negative things easily.‎ C. What makes people happy.‎ D. What makes people sad.‎ C American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.‎ In order to exploit (开发) new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. They continued to speak as they had done in England.‎ As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. The Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented lots of new words to meet their commercial (贸易的) needs.‎ Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the president, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编纂) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language ‎ as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.‎ English in America has developed a character of its own, showing the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing. There is no doubt that American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English will be more widely used in the world than British English.‎ ‎28. What can we infer from paragraph 3?‎ A. People from the seaside were more willing to learn English.‎ B. The English language changed as a result of inner culture shock.‎ C. New words occurred in American English as a result of local invention.‎ D. International business contributed to the development of American English.‎ ‎29. What do we know about American English according to the passage?‎ A. It came into being at the end of the 17th century.‎ B. It hardly makes contributions to the development of English.‎ C. Its development has a close relationship with American people’s life.‎ D. It has been more widely used than British English from the beginning.‎ ‎30. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Difference between American English and British English.‎ B. The development of American English.‎ C. The Birth of American English.‎ D. Language and Business.‎ 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。‎ Characteristics of an excellent scientist The Free Dictionary defines (定义) a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science.‎ ‎___31___. Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist.‎ Curiosity.‎ ‎___32___. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. If a scientist doesn’t have the drive to ask questions or even wonder, then he/she never gets to the first stage of the scientific process.‎ Patience.‎ ‎___33___. There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. Even if you think you have received some education on science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification (及时满足的) type of person, this may not be the best choice for you.‎ Ethical (道德的) qualities.‎ In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment and living things, since they are all linked and they can affect one another in the long run. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal or outside commercial (商业的) interests. Sticking to an old belief contradicted (反驳) by evidence is dishonest. ___34___.‎ Working habits.‎ An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation, keeping it in mind and recording it. ___35___.

Becoming a scientist takes a long time.‎ B. An excellent scientist must be very curious about things.‎ C. It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods.‎ D. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.‎ E. He/She can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed.‎ F.

But the price－five dollars－was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family. ‎ Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to support their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.‎ Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered (风化的)door and went inside, Standing proud and straight in his flour－sack(面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed－out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for some time?‎ ‎"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while."‎ Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.‎ He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags(装钉子的麻袋). People built their own buildings in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used nail bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.‎ That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda(苏打水，汽水)tin（罐，听）.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150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 l: Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.____ ‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ Paragraph 2: Finally, the time came! _______________________________________ ‎ ‎————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎ 英语答案 第一部分听力 每小题1.5分，共30分 ‎1—5 CBAAB 6—10 BCABA 11—15 CBABC 16—20 CBAAC 第二部分阅读理解，共两节，满分35分 第一节 ‎ 共10小题，每题2.5分，共计25分 ‎21-25 ADBAC 26-30 BCDCB 第二节 ‎ 共5小题，每题2分， 共计10分 ‎31-35 CBADE 第三部分 英语知识运用， 共两节，满分45分 第一节完形填空，每小题1.5分，共30分 ‎36-40 ADCBC 41-45 ABADC 46-50 DBCAD 51-55 BCADB 第二节语法填空，没小题1,5分，共15分 ‎56. who 57. delighted 58. callled 59. to concentrate 60. extremely ‎ ‎61. to 62. were published 63. the/this 64. but 65. photographs 第四部分写作，共两节，满分40分 第一节， 满分15分 Recently, our school organized an activity “Civilized Manners in Our School”. All the teachers and students were required to attend. Many civilized phenomena have emerged in the activity. For example, made no noise in public; did not litter anywhere in order to keep our campus clean; did not waste water, electricity or food. The students were friendly and helpful to each other. They had lots of energy in class. Students loved flowers, grass and trees so that everyone could enjoy the greenness. ‎ With the help of students, we believe our school will become more and more beautiful and peaceful. ‎ 第二节， 满分25分 Paragraph 1: Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still stuck to the plan. It was the brooch in the shop ‎ window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.‎ Paragraph 2: Finally the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door and placed it in Dora's hand. Never had Dora received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly into her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes. ‎
