No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere. ‎ ‎　　How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you, depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them. ‎ ‎　　Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side. ‎ ‎　　Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever ‎ you are. ‎ ‎24.

In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that______‎ A. problems cause troubles B. personalities are built on failures C. challenges can be avoided D. attitude is everything ‎26. According to the last paragraph, when we're in trouble, we _______.‎ A. can only depend on our parents B. should only believe ourselves C. are not alone D. are not confident ‎27. What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage?‎ A. To prove. B. To compare. C. To encourage. D. To explain. ‎ C ‎　　When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying(腐烂) and adding humus(腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.‎ ‎　　In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former ‎ state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.‎ ‎　　 It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation(轮作) of crops.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, the land will become poorer, _________.‎ A. if the humus is increased after the harvest B. if all the dead leaves are cleared away ‎ C. if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves D. if waste plant material lying about is buried ‎ ‎29. We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered _________.‎ A. after new grasses and other plants have decayed again B. after nature has been left alone for several months ‎ C. when grasses and other plants appear again ‎ D. when the treatment is given by nature alone ‎30. A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because _________.‎ A. the productive power of a new field isn't higher than that of an old one B. there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow crops C. it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new field D. there are few free fields left for him to do farming ‎31. It is most likely that the author will go on to _______ in the paragraph following the passage above.‎ A. introduce other methods of planting crops B. deal with how to prevent land getting tired C. further explain what the rotation of crops is D. start another topic of how to make use of land ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　D ‎　　Combining families with kids can be tough and offers even more unexpected problems. You just don’t know how things will shake out until everyone is under one roof, trying on new roles with name that start with “step”(继). This is what happened to Sheila and Will, and Sheila’s 8-year-old daughter Ashley. After the couple got married, and Will became the member of the new family, things got worse than expected. How did they make it work? Read the full version of the story here.‎ ‎　　Shelia’s Turn: When Shelia and Will were dating, he seemed to like kids, especially Ashley. He’d bring her presents, and play games with her. But after the wedding, things took a turn. Will suddenly became a super strict stepfather, scolding Ashley for watching too much cartoons, constantly picking fights and punishing her for offenses as small as spilling milk. Shelia’s thought about leaving Will, but soon after they married, they had a son, Billy. Will adores his well-behaved boy, but Ashley hates him. Shelia doesn’t know what to do--- her daughter is miserable, but leaving her husband might mean losing her son.‎ ‎　　Will’s turn: Will was so excited to be a male role model in Ashley’s life. He didn’t just want to be a guy living in her house; he wanted to treat her like his own daughter, which, to Will, meant giving Ashley more rules and help her learn responsibility. He’d always felt that Shelia let Ashley loose on everything. But after the wedding, Will was surprised that Shelia didn’t want him to do that. If Will takes away Ashley’s TV privileges or tells her to clean up her room, Shelia just lets Ashley do what she likes and does it herself. Will was tired of this and he’d rather take his son and go.‎ ‎　　 The advisor’s turn: The counselor(顾问) quickly recognized their conflict as a classic case of unspoken, hidden expectations. Before the wedding, when it was just Shelia and Will, everything was easy. But now, everyone in their big family is competing for attention, and the couple never sat down and discussed the biggest issue---their child-upbringing philosophies(育儿经). The counselor suggested Shelia allow Will to give some rules on Ashley but Will’s punishments couldn’t be extreme. Once Ashley saw that her mom and step-dad had become a united front, she cooperated ‎ more.‎ ‎32. The text is most likely to be found in a book about______.‎ A. popular science B. social problems C. historical events D. political systems ‎ ‎33. The reasons for Ashley’s dislike of Will are as follows except_____.‎ A. Ashley often spilled milk on the floor. B. Will often picked fights with Ashley.‎ C. Ashley was stopped watching too many cartoons. D. Will always punished her for bad behaviors.‎ ‎34. What can we know about Will?‎ A. Will does not love children B. Will’s way of parenting is very perfect.‎ C. Will does not love Shelia any more D. Will has a good intention.‎ ‎35. It can be inferred from the passage that the advisor’s attitude to their problem is____ ?‎ A. Negative B. Objective C. Critical D. Subjective 第二节（共5个小题；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。‎ If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 ‎ ‎　　The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.‎ ‎　　I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air ‎ conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ‎ ‎　　 39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ‎ ‎　　 40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.‎ A. Things are going to be improved.‎ B. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. ‎ C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. ‎ D. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. ‎ E. This time there was no tent. ‎ F. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. ‎ G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. ‎ 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、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎　　Several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other obligations: Imagine life as a（n） 41 in which you are juggling（玩杂耍） some five balls in the air. You 42 them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that 43 is a rubber ball.

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed（不可改变地磨损）, marked, nicked, 47 or even shattered（破碎）. They will never be the 48 . You must understand that and struggle for balance in your life. How? ‎ ‎　　Don’t weaken your worth by 49 yourself with others. It is because we are ‎ different and each of us is special. Don’t 50 your goals by what other people think important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for 51 the things closest to your heart. Hold onto them 52 as they would be your life, for 53 them, life is meaningless. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until 54 you stop trying. Don’t 55 love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to 56 love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don’t be 57 to learn.
