Book 2: Iggy Peck, Architect ——By Andrea Beaty 32 pages, US$15.95 This book is a story about a kid whose head teacher does not recognize his great talent (though he makes buildings out of anything at hand, including table cloths, fruit and chalk) until it saves her life.

Though I had just divorced and had very little money, I managed to get a job in a nursing home as an aide(护工) for the elderly and moved in with a “friend” to share living expenses. But one day, when I came home with my daughters after work, I found the whole house empty. And later, I found that my “friend” had run away with the half of the rent I had paid her the day before and the deposit(押金) of $300.As a result, I had to leave the house, because I had only about $11 left, and payday was three days away—I was unable to pay the rent, and I didn't know anyone to turn to. I slept in the car in a park nearby with my daughters for the night, and called the manager of the nursing home the next morning, hoping that she could pay me early. Fortunately, she agreed. Then I bought something for my daughters for breakfast, and when we sat down at a table in the park, an old man—dirty, needing a shave, and smelly—sort of a beggar, handed me all the money in his pocket, saying that he was sorry to overhear my story and that he wanted to be of some help. I started crying, and I folded his hand back over the money, hugged him as tightly as I could and told him we were going to be just fine. I will never forget that day, when God showed me what true generosity meant and when he showed me love from the most unexpected place, in the most unlikely way. On that day I saw the face of an angel, and the way I viewed others changed forever. 25. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author had just lost her job. B. The author had a friend working as an aide. C. The author had broken up with her husband. D. The author was going to give birth to a baby. 解析：细节理解题。从第一段的 Though I had just divorced and had very little money, I managed to get a job in a nursing home as an aide (护工)...可知正确答案是 C。 答案：C 26. Why did the author leave the house that evening? A. Because she didn't like the house. B. Because she was angry with her “friend”. C. Because her daughters wanted to sleep in the park. D. Because she didn't have enough money to pay the rent. 解析：细节理解题。从第二段的 I found that my “friend”. had run away with the half of the rent I had paid her the day before and the deposit(押金) of $300.As a result, I had to leave the house, because I had only about $11 left, and payday was three days away—I was unable to pay the rent, and I didn't know anyone to turn to.可知正确答案是 D。 答案：D 27. According to the passage, we can conclude that __________. A. the author got her pay ahead of payday B. the author had met the man who helped her before C. the author got a large sum of money when she left her husband D. the author was driven away with her friend by the owner of the house 解析：推理判断题。从第二段的 and called the manager of the nursing home the next morning, hoping that she could pay me early. Fortunately, she agreed.可知正确答案是 A。 答案：A 28. The author wrote her experience to teach people to ________. A. treat others equally B. make friends carefully C. work hard to make a living D. help each other and be grateful 解析：主旨大意题。从最后一段以及文中提到的 the manager of the nursing home 和 an old man 帮助“我”的举动可推断出答案是 D。 答案：D C As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursed further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs. Both types have simply been called “well” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”, in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.“Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. 29. Today's medical care is placing more stress on ________. A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition B. monitoring patients' body functions C. removing people's bad living habits D. ensuring people's psychological wellbeing 解析：细节理解题。由第一段第一句得知。 答案：C 30. According to the passage, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people________. A. to best satisfy their body's special needs B. to strive to maintain the best possible health C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure 解析：词义猜测题。由第二段”Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for.可推出。 答案：B 31. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy? A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures. B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease. C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations. D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care. 解析：推理判断题。由第二段 Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be ”well”， in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.(根据这些新定义，即使那些有生理残疾的人，也可以被 认为是“健康”的人。)又在下文总结了这一点，根据这种新的定义，健康的人就应该是那 些无论身体有何局限，只要努力追求最有可能的健康状态的人。与 C 选项相符。 答案：C D Growing up in Puerto Rico, our family was no different from so many others. My parents got married after my father came back when the war ended. Both of my parents were struggling with the hard economic realities of the time. But somehow, they found time to cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life. In our daily life, we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday, every graduation, and all holidays with music and dancing，and typical foods. When we visited our family in the countryside—a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat—we would break into song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun. We would sing not only interesting children's songs but also beautiful love songs—songs about the love of the country though we didn't understand the meaning of the words many times. I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency(实习) in family medicine. I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all worsened by my feeling of cultural differences. An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rico singer and composer Antonio Caban Vale. The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia. Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this. 32. What do we know about the author's family? A. They lived a welloff life. B. They suffered a lot from war. C. They were tired of family activities. D. They took cultural values seriously. 解析：从第一段的 ”Both of my parents were struggling ... cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.”可知，即使在困难时期，作者的父母也非常重视文化价值观。故答 案选 D 项。 答案：D 33. Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2? A. To prove her pride in her culture. B. To show fun brought by her culture. C. To express her love for the country. D. To show the fight between her siblings. 解析：从第二段的内容可知，作者一家人一路欢歌，尽管他们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思， 但他们享受其中的欢乐。再结合全文的内容可知，作者提及这一段旅程的目的是说明文化价 值观带来的乐趣。故答案选 B 项。 答案：B 34. What added to the author's depressing life in Philadelphia? A. Dangers as a doctor. B. Prejudice from the rich. C. Cultural shock. D. Low payment. 解析：根据第三段的描述，”I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all worsened by my feeling of cultural differences.”可知，作者对于在费城的生活是感到糟糕的， 而 cultural differences 带来的 culture shock 使得情况更加恶化。故答案选 C 项。 答案：C 35. What did the concert make the author aware of? A. The excitement of the rhythms. B. The value of the lyrics. C. The advantage of cultural diversity. D. The strength of believing in oneself. 解析：根据最后一段中的”Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.”可知，therefore 后面的内容是结果，而原因自然是前面提到的作者听音乐会的经历。作 者由听音乐会的经历受到启发，认为对社会而言，文化差异是优势而不是劣势。故答案选 C 项。 答案：C 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。 Before it was proven that the earth was round, it was a wellknown “fact” that it was flat. This “fact” was so widely accepted that no one dared test it, because they thought if they did sail out beyond the horizon they would fall off the edge. 36 The “fact” remained undoubted until Columbus questioned common knowledge and asked “what if?” 37 In spite of our tendency to think of reality as the fixed basis of our experience, the definition of reality changes every time someone pushes the boundary of traditional wisdom. 38 When Chuck Yeager flew the X•1, he broke the myth that there was such a thing as a sound barrier. His training and instincts(本能), combined with the new technology of the day, not only enabled him to go beyond the speed of sound, but reinforced the fact that even widelyaccepted technological barriers can be overcome as well. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world,” wrote Bernard Shaw, “the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.” 39 When we dare to go beyond our own internal boundary conditions, we discover a whole new world of possible futures for ourselves. Open your mind to the possibility that the world is made up of a countless experiences from the very worst to the very best. 40 If you open your mind, you will enjoy a more abundant and fulfilling life. A. Success follows beliefs such as, ”I have all I need to be influential and successful.” B. A mind is like a parachute (降落伞)—it works best when open. C. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. D. This question expanded the boundaries of his country, changed history and transformed the reality. E. Examples of the impossible being made possible can be found throughout history. F. When Columbus returned from the New World, a new era of exploration and adventure began. G. In other words, because they believed it couldn't be done, it wasn't done. 36. 解析：考查学生对语意承接的把握。“这个事实得到了广泛的认同，以至于没人敢去验证它 是否正确。因为大家担心如果航行的船只一跨过地平线，就会从边界上掉下去。换句话说， 因为大家都相信这件事情不能做，于是就没有人去做。” 答案：G 37. 解析：考查学生对语意承接及上下文指代的把握。D 选项中的 This question 指代的即上文所 提到的“what if?” “这种状况一直延续到哥伦布质疑这个常识的那一刻——‘如果不是…… 会怎样？’这个疑问彻底拓宽了他祖国的疆域，改写了历史，并且永久性地改变了人们所接 受的现实。” 答案：D 38. 解析：考查学生对上下文衔接句的把握。本句很好地衔接了下文的举例。 答案：E 39. 解析：考查语意承接。 答案：C 40. 解析：考查语意承接。 答案：B 第三部分 英语知识运用（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。 After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.

It is true that some students can pass an examination 63 (easy) than others, although it doesn't mean they are better with their study. Quite a few students are afraid of examinations though they master what they 64 (learn) very well. Sometimes the fear of examinations comes from pressure. People think pressure is good for students 65 it can make the students 66 (try) harder and make some school work more challenging. But too much pressure may cause stress or even diseases, 67 will not be good for the students' benefits. No student succeeds 68 hard work. If one spends little time working on their lessons every day, they can't expect a good result at the end of the term. 69 (develop) study skills can get students to learn better and to pass examinations with ease if they understand the lessons and the work 70 (involve). 61. 解析：be＋of＋n.句型；be of great importance＝be important greatly。 答案：importance 62. 解析：全文时态以现在时态为主，所以用一般现在时态的被动语态。 答案：are taught 63. 解析：根据 than 判断要用比较级；在该句中需要用副词修饰 pass, 所以用 more easily。 答案：more easily 64. 解析：根据句意可知用现在完成时态。 答案：have learned 65. 解析：as/because 引导原因状语从句。 答案：as/because 66. 解析：try 在句中作宾补；make 表示“使、让”时要用不带 to 的动词不定式作宾补。 答案：try 67. 解析：which 引导非限制性定语从句。 答案：which 68. 解析：”No student succeeds without hard work.”是一个双重否定句，表肯定的意思。 答案：without 69. 解析：该句少主语，动词不能作主语，所以要用动名词作主语。动名词作主语表“一般、抽 象、习惯等”，动词不定式作主语表“具体、偶然、将来等”。 答案：Developing 70. 解析：the lessons and the work 与 involve 之间是被动关系，所以用 involve 的过去分词形式 involved，而且 involved 在句中作后置定语。 答案：involved 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改 10 处，多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。 I was walking home late at night since I heard someone walking behind me.
