I have found it true. But I also believe in the philosophy that we are not defined (定义) by what happens to us, but by what we do when things happen to us. ‎ Some friends think we have had far more than our share of bad things occur, but I don’t think bad things are shared. They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our control or even knowledge of them. I am also a firm believer in the laws of unintended consequences — one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not. ‎ So as I considered the question of “What motivates me?” and sought an answer, it struck me that I simply refuse to be defeated. I won’t let life or events tear me down to the point at which I am no longer me, or simply stop being. ‎ In 2008, I battled three types of cancer, had four cancer operations, the firm I worked for closed without notice, my wife was in a horrible car accident, got laid off from her company, the economy devastated our life savings, … and that was for starters. ‎ We also lost two family members and my closest friend. He was the last person I would expect to pass away out of our friends. But a disease took hold of him 9 years earlier. His memorial service was filled with love, and many of us told about his joy of life, humor, his achievements, and the challenges he had overcome in his life — which were many and painful. He would not be defeated in his life either.‎ Today, my wife and I are hand-in-hand, continuing trying to live our lives with dignity, although living it differently from the end of 2007.‎ ‎9. Which of the following does the author most agree with?‎ ‎ A. We should take our share of bad things. ‎ B. One event may cause many unexpected results.‎ C. Many bad things could have been prevented by us. ‎ D. Humans are sometimes defined by their surroundings.‎ ‎10. Which of the following can best describe the author’s experience in 2008?‎ ‎ A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. B. He who laughs last laughs best.‎ ‎ C. Misfortunes never come alone. D. No pains, no gains.‎ ‎11. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ ‎ A. Destroyed. B. Increased. C. Supported. D. Included.‎ ‎12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To complain. B. To advertise. ‎ C. To encourage. D. To explain. ‎ B Over the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles with the British. However, they’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.‎ In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.‎ The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result, there’s much more diversity in British food now, compared to French food, which tends to be very traditional.‎ Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don’t cook as much as they used to because most of them work and don’t have much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. There’s also a difference between Paris and the countryside. It’s true that people in Paris don’t cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.‎ For many French people, opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied: “I don’t go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I’m not a fan at all.”‎ ‎13. According to the passage, nowadays British people ______.‎ A. cook less at home than the French every day ‎ B. no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables C. are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods D. buy more cookbooks than French people do ‎ ‎14. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?‎ A. French women cook less often now. ‎ B. The French prefer ready-made dishes. ‎ C. French women seldom cook on the weekend. ‎ D. Cooking is at the heart of people’s life in Paris.‎ ‎15. What is Bernard’s attitude towards British food?‎ A. He would love to try it. B. He shows no interest in it.‎ C. He considers it worse than before. D. He considers it better than before.‎ ‎16. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. The history of British food. B. The history of French food.‎ C. The change in British food. D. The change in French food.‎ C War can be deadly for wildlife, too. A new study reports that war is the biggest threat to Africa’s elephants, rhinoceroses, and other animals. Researchers examined how years of conflict in Africa have affected populations of large animals. More than 70 percent of Africa’s protected wildlife areas have been within a war zone at some point ‎ in the last 70 years. The more frequent the fighting, the greater the drop in animal populations, said Josh Daskin, an ecologist at Yale University. He was the lead author of the study, which was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.‎ It takes very little conflict, as much as one conflict in about 20 years, for the average wildlife population to be declining, Daskin said. “Areas with frequent fighting — but not necessarily the bloodiest fighting—lose 35 percent of their large animal populations during each year of war,” he said.‎ Some animals get killed by weapons of war. Yet, many also die because of changes in social and economic conditions in an area as a result of war, said Rob Pringle. He is an ecologist at Princeton University and the study’s co-author. “People in and around war zones are poor and hungrier. So they may begin to illegally hunt animals for valuable tusks or hunt protected animals to eat,” Pringle said. “And during wartime, animal conservation programs do not have as much money or power to protect wildlife.”‎ The new study examined the entire African continent over 65 years. The researchers looked at 10 different factors that could change population numbers. They included war, drought, animal size, protected areas and human population density. The number of wars had the biggest effect on wildlife population. The intensity of the wars — measured in the number of human deaths — had the least effect on animals. ‎ ‎17. Which is the most dangerous to Africa’s animals?‎ A. Hunting. B. Wars. C. Drought D. Economy ‎18. What can we know about the animals in Africa?‎ A. More than 70 percent of animals live in a war zone.‎ B. Little conflict has no effect to animals’ population.‎ C. The more frequent the fighting is, the fewer animals are.‎ D. 35 percent of animals in the world died each year because of war.‎ ‎19. Which one is NOT the reason why animals die in the war?‎ A. Being killed by the weapons. ‎ B. Being killed by poor and hungry people.‎ C. The loss of their habitat.‎ D. Lack of money or power to protect them.‎ ‎20. Which one has the least influence on wildlife population?‎ A. The intensity of the wars. B. Protected areas.‎ C. The number of wars. D. Animal size.‎ 第二节 七选五填空 （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项。请将答案按题号涂到相应的答卷题号上。‎ Four Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness ‎ Feeling stuck is quite common. Many times, we have thoughts and dreams of what we want in life. __21__ Our thinking pattern holds us back from going forward. The good news is that at any moment in time, we have the ability to start taking action toward creating the life we want. Here are four steps to get started：‎ Celebrate Your Success.‎ ‎ Write down all the success you’ve already achieved and tell yourself how awesome you are today. __22__ And once you’re in that positive routine with your thoughts, it will lead you to make better choices and take better actions toward your greatness． ‎ Create Your True Vision.‎ Many times we live based on others’ expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it’s our safety zone. Own your path. It can be hard to do, but allow yourself to get out of your head (or stop listening to what others want for you) and focus on your heart and what it’s telling you. __23__ ‎ ‎__24__ ‎ If you want to start going to the gym, going from 0 day a week to 5 days a week right away is extreme, and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn’t result in success, but failure．Instead，start slow and go once or twice a week．After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine, up it to more days. Over time, you will build toward your goal by taking realistic, smaller steps to get there.‎ Have the Right Support． __25__ Find the right support to cheer you on in the process. It could be a friend, a family member, or significant others who you trust. Whoever it may be, having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of. ‎ A． Don’t do it alone． B．Be realistic about your goals． C．Be kind to yourself and accept the moment． D．Your failure can lead you to another success． E．This practice will direct your thinking to a positive place． F. Sadly, they only stay as thoughts and dreams inside of us． G．Look within yourself deeply and decide what you want and what’s true for you．‎ 第三部分 语言知识及应用（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、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ On September 11, 2001, I was in my fifth grade at Hutchinson Elementary School in New York.

She sent and grabbed some red packets in her Chinese family’s group. The rule in her family was that the person who grabbed the 48 (high) amount sent the next.‎ Attracted by the unique way of communicating, many foreigners 49 (join) in sending and grabbing red packets so far.
