I'm only 28．I still have four decades to go before my _ 38 ．But I guess I just realized life is too short to be spent doing something I dislike． 39 , I found a good part of my life had been spent living for someone or something else．From my studying years to my working years, I had 40 been pursuing goals set by myself and by the society．‎ ‎ The pursuit of these _ 41 _ had made me a more successful person, but the act made me delay the moment in 42 of a better future．It made me wonder "What's next? " ．‎ ‎ Since most of my life goals have been 43 , it's time for．me to create my life path again． Start from today: live a life in a child-like manner rather than worry about what should be or what others might think!‎ ‎ On the 44 it may seem as if nothing is going to change．I’ll still be writing articles, creating videos and taking on media interviews to 45 my message．‎ ‎ However, on the micro-level, things will be 46 ．Instead of asking, "What should I do today to achieve my goal?", I will be asking myself,。 “What do I want to do today?"． It's a slightly but ‎ fundamentally different approach to my life and it’s something to 47 my life inside out ‎36．A． associate B．concern C．relate D． combine ‎37．A． work B．stand C． turn D． look ‎38．A． achievement B．movement C．improvement D． retirement ‎39．A． Taking back B．Holding back C． Thinking back D． Keeping back ‎40．A． eventually B．occasionally C． accidentally D． constantly ‎41．A． goals B．promises C． hopes D． gifts ‎42．A． favor B．case C． wait D．honor ‎43．A． set B．achieved C． provided D．scored ‎44．A． surface B．top C． basis D． bottom ‎45．A． extend B．leave C． spread D． take ‎46．A． similar B．absurd C．same D． different ‎47．A． adapt B．change C．burden D． ruin Section C（12 marks）‎ ‎ Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context．‎ ‎ Have you ever seen the advertisement: Learn a foreign language in six weeks, 48． give your money back?

But he did something different -he actually listened to people． Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation．‎ ‎ I thought it was odd, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit． After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble（咕哝,含糊地说） something back． I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"‎ ‎ This old cashier seemed genuine about wanting to know how people were feeling． Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what ‎ they owed． Customers handed money to him, he hit the appropriate keys gently, the cash drawer opened, and he counted out their change．‎ ‎ Then magic happened． He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customer, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship．As their hands met, the cashier looked the customers in the eyes．"I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,“ he told them, "You have a great day． Bye-bye．" The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless．All had been touched by his simple gesture．‎ ‎ Now it was my turn, I glanced clown at the name tag on his red vest, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashiers wore．It read, "Marty．"'‎ ‎ Marty told, me how much I owed and I handed him some money．The next thing I knew he was ,standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand．His kind eyes locked onto mine．Smiling, and with a firm handshake．‎ ‎61．While the author stood in checkout line, maybe she felt a little ‎ A． calm B．nervous C． impatient D． relaxed ‎62．In the opinion of the author, people would ‎ A．remain silent while shopping ‎ B．have a conversation On bad news ‎ C．think carefully before a response ‎ D．have a mechanical chat with each other ‎63．What made Marty different from other cashiers?‎ ‎ A．He treated his customers friendly and sincerely．‎ ‎ B．He calculated without using the cash register．‎ ‎ C．He was interested in other's life．‎ ‎ D．He used the change to do some magic．‎ ‎64． From the passage, we can infer that Marty ‎ A．didn't know how people were feeling ‎ B．devoted himself to his job ‎ C．wasn't skilled in doing his job ‎ D．was familiar to all his customers ‎65．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．Shopping for fun B．The Conversation at a Shop ‎ C．The Handshake D．An Old Customer C ‎ I'm so blessed to have a career in which I get to travel all over the world speaking with amazing people and seeing beautiful places． Along with my travels comes the reality of airport security lines and screenings．Sometimes quick, but often inconvenient airport screenings have become an accepted and necessary part of our travel process．‎ ‎ We all accept the security screening and the inconvenience of it because it is a system that is in place to protect us．It is designed to protect us from those who will harm or endanger our lives．‎ ‎ But now that we have all accepted the need from security checkpoints to protect us from evil ‎ people meaning us harm, what security system do you have for yourself to guard you from the terrorizing（引起恐慌的）thoughts and fears that endanger you and bring your life to an end?‎ ‎ Protect yourself! Why let those terrorizing thoughts run through your mind freely? Why let them continue to keep you from living your dream? I have learned that fear is mental projection (预测）of something that has not yet happened．What we call fear is actually pain from the expectation that something bad will happen．‎ ‎ What if, instead of running from it like you always have, you choose to face it? You would strip away the exaggerated（夸大的）expectation and would instead be left with the real components of the situation．‎ ‎ Make the terrorizing fear pass through a security checkpoint in your mind． Face it and make“ accountable． Ask yourself, "What is true about this situation?" Look at the fear and terrorizing thought on all sides and study it so that you can understand its root． This will conquer it and help you use the fear as a tool instead of a prison．‎ ‎66．What does the author think of the airport screenings?‎ ‎ A． Comfortable and protective． B．Troublesome and unnecessary．‎ ‎ C． Troublesome but acceptable． D． Fearful but protective,‎ ‎67．What does the underlined phrase "strip away" in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ ‎ A．Get rid of． B．Make use of． C． Give away． D． Bring out．‎ ‎68．What is the author's advice on protecting ourselves from terrorizing thoughts?‎ ‎ A．Let them run through the mind freely．‎ ‎ B．Ignore the things that have not happened．‎ ‎ C．Keep them out of the security checkpoint．‎ ‎ D．Face and study them till we conquer them．‎ ‎69．It can be learnt from the passage that ‎ A．our mind is full of terrorizing thoughts ‎ B．fear is a physical response to something ‎ C．fear can help us if we use it properly ‎ D．not all．of us need to have a security system ‎70．What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A．The terrorizing thoughts and fear in our mind． ”‎ ‎ B．Advice on traveling around the world by air．‎ ‎ C．The airport security lines and screenings．‎ Part Ⅳ Writing（45 marks）‎ Section A（l0'marks）‎ ‎ Directions: Read the following passage． Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information, from the passage-‎ ‎ Write NO MORE THAN THREE VVORDS for each answer．‎ ‎ Ready to give up long showers, water parks, and unlimited water gushing out of your taps? A new study says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people are faced with water shortage now．The oceans are full, of course． But the liquid-fresh, clean water for drinking and watering crops is in short supply in many parts of the world． Rivers are running low, lakes are shrinking, streams have stopped flowing, and groundwater is being pumped dry．However, the demand for water keeps increasing． So there comes inevitably the water crisis!‎ ‎ What is causing the crisis? Experts say it is a complex combination of climate change and rapid population growth．On the one hand, global climate change threatens to reduce water supplies due to decreased rainfall．On the other hand, population growth is driving explosive demand for water, prompting rivers in thirsty countries to be tapped for nearly every drop and driving governments to pump out so-called fossil water．‎ ‎ Lack of water may result in several problems． It may increase health problems． Lack of water often means drinking waters are not safe． Lack of water may also result in more international conflict．Countries may have to compete for water in the future． Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries． And lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies． This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning．‎ ‎ One partial answer to the world water shortage, at least for countries near the sea, is to build more desalination plants that change seawater into fresh water． Another suggested solution is for water-rich countries, such as Canada, to sell water to countries which are poor in water． A third suggestion is for countries to adopt ways of increasing the freshwater supply, such as teaching farmers in Africa methods to get dean rainwater． And nearly everyone agreed that the amount of water on our planet can't be changed, but the way we use it can be if more people realized the problem． Last and the most important, public should be aware of saving water to defeat the water crisis．‎ ‎ Title: 71． ‎ I．Present situation:‎ ‎ ★ Rivers are 72． ．‎ ‎ ★ Lakes are shrinking．‎ ‎ ★ Streams have stopped flowing．‎ ‎ ★ 73． is drying up．‎ II．74． ;‎ ‎ ★climate change→decreased rainfall→75． water supplies ‎ ★ population growth→rivers76． and fossil water to be pumped out III．Consequences:‎ ‎ ★ health problems ‎ ★ 77． ‎ ‎ ★ affected ability to improve economies Ⅳ．78． ;‎ ‎ ★k turning seawater into freshwater ‎ ★ water-rich countries selling water to79． countries ‎ ★ exploring methods of getting clean rainwater ‎ ★ changing the way people use water ‎ ★ arousing 80． of saving water Section B（10 marks）‎ ‎ Directions: Read the following passage: Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．‎ ‎ Philippe Croizon has swum across the English Channel successfully 16 years after losing all his limbs（四肢） in an electrical accident．He said with excitement that he was "the happiest ‎ man alive" and he had done it to inspire all those who think life is nothing but suffering．‎ ‎ He set off from Folkestone in southern England just before 8:‎00 a．m．on Saturday, and arrived at the French coast near Wissant just before 9:30 p．m．,pushed by his specially designed flipper-shaped prosthetic legs（鳝状假肢）．Steadying himself with the remains of his arms, Croizon kept up a' constant speed in good weather and was accompanied by wild dolphins for part of the crossing．‎ ‎ "For a while, I didn't realize what I'd done． It was only that night, when t went to bed, that suddenly I burst out laughing and told myself, ‘You did it!'," he told reporters by telephone from his home in northern France． ‎ ‎ In 1994 Croizon was hit by a 20,OOO-volt charge． "I was on my hospital bed, and surgeons had just finished cutting off' my last limb． You can imagine how that felt．And, then I saw a television documentary on a female swimmer who crossed the Channel," he explained．"There and then, I asked myself, &Why not me one day? "'‎ ‎ Croizon trained for two years and last month completed a 12-hour swim between the ports of Noirmoutier and Pornic on France's Atlantic coast, but his final Channel crossing was much faster than he had expected．"At one point I told myself, 6 slow down, or you'll never get there if you try to keep up this speed'． I wanted to slow clown, but I couldn't． I didn't want to disappoint anyone," he said, adding that he had expected to be at sea for 24 h． ours and declaring that his next long-distance challenge would be to swim between Europe and Africa．‎ ‎81．How did Croizon feel when he reached his destination? （no more than 3 words） （2 marks）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎82． What is Croizon purpose to swim across the English Channel? （no more than 13 words） （2 marks）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎83．How did Croizon come up with the idea of crossing the Channel after his operation? （no more than 11 words） （3 marks）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎84．Why did Croizon want to slow down while crossing the Channel? （no more than 10 words）（3 marks）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given, below in Chinese．‎ ‎ 假设你是李华，前天是你的好朋友Anne的生日。你本答应要参加她的生日聚会，但不小心忘了赴约。请写封信向Anne表达你的歉意，说明原因，并提出补救的方法。‎ 注意：1．词数不少于120词；‎ ‎ 2．文章中不得出现真实班级和姓名；‎ ‎ 3．可适当增加内容。‎ Dear Anne，‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Yours truly,‎ Li Hua 参考答案
