B.Passionate.‎ C.Pessimistic. D.Inspiring.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。第一本书介绍的一个名叫Shivani的女孩经历的两次意外事故,拒绝伤痛阻止她实现抱负的励志故事;第二本书介绍的是10名体育运动员克服种种困难,为国争光,取得优异成绩的故事;第三本书介绍的是自小失明的作者本人到美国求学并获得哈佛大学学位,成为一名作家的励志故事;第四本书介绍的是一位名叫Esther Earl的青少年被诊断患有癌症仍然很积极乐观并鼓舞成千上万的其他人的故事。故四本书都有激励他人的作用,选D项。‎ B My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.‎ Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.‎ I held my camera tripod (三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.‎ Even so,this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.‎ The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.‎ Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack.The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述和家人一起在拍鸟时遭遇一只饥肠辘辘的熊的惊险历程,幸好全家人在遇到危险时保持镇定,最终熊一无所获走开了。‎ ‎24.The whole text is mainly arranged in　　　. ‎ A.result and inference B.cause and effect C.space order D.time order 答案D 解析细节理解题。阅读全文可知,作者在拍鸟时遭遇一只饥饿的熊,然后作者对抗熊,最后熊一无所获走开,是按时间顺序讲述的。故选D项。‎ ‎25.When did the bear finally go away?‎ A.After it felt safe.‎ B.After it got injured.‎ C.After it found some food.‎ D.After it took away the camera.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三句“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off...”可知,很明显,熊对我们没有给它造成进一步的威胁感到很满意,然后走开了,可知,熊是在感到安全后离开的。故选A项。‎ ‎26.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their 　　　. ‎ A.calmness B.patience C.pride D.cautiousness 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,作者对家人在当时保持镇定感到很自豪,因为惊恐有时能导致一个非常不同的结果,可知,家人临危不惧很冷静,这是幸存下来的主要原因,这里clear-headed对应calmness。故选A项。‎ ‎27.When the bear moved back towards the forest,how did the family feel?‎ A.Excited. B.Threatened.‎ C.Relieved. D.Puzzled.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,“我”的胳膊受伤了,但是对“我们”来说这个结果是再好不过的了,故家人们应感到如释重负。故选C项。‎ C English is full of colourful phrases to describe shyness.Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower,while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say “boo” to a goose.‎ None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions,even if you like geese.In a culture of go-getting high achievers,shy people don’t come first.Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe.Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(大部头书籍)that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life,love and business.That is why one book,Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness,bucks the trend.It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness. ‎ Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life,being shy can also be “a gift”.Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations,people are liberated to look at the world in new ways,and gain fresh insights.‎ Indeed,many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company;actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties;and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.‎ Moran told BBC Future, “I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家),really—you are more likely to be an observer.”‎ So,while extroverts make all the noise,they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.‎ If you’re shy,you’ve probably known this for a long time.You just don’t shout about it.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事,它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。‎ ‎28.When someone is being called a wallflower,he is being 　　　. ‎ A.praised for his grace B.admired for his character C.laughed at for his shyness D.told off for his nervousness 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第一段“Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower”和第二段“None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions”可知,被称为shrinking violet或 wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓,是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞,故选C项。‎ ‎29.What does the underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A.Goes against the trend and succeeds.‎ B.Changes the public idea completely.‎ C.Becomes unpopular and unaccepted.‎ D.Becomes the major concern of people.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的上句可知,书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧,在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句说明Shrinking Violets:A Field Guide to Shyness这本书与畅销书内容不同,却很成功。所以画线词语“bucks the trend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功,故选A项。‎ ‎30.Why did the author mention many famous shy people?‎ A.To point out the harm shyness brings.‎ B.To disconnect shyness and success.‎ C.To show the reasons for shyness.‎ D.To prove shyness contributes to science.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和下面列举的Charles Darwin,Albert Einstein,Keira Knightley和J.K. Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子,目的是说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系,故选B项。‎ ‎31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?‎ A.Opposed. B.Indifferent.‎ C.Supportive. D.Critical.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第二段“Shrinking Violets:A Field Guide to Shyness,bucks the trend. It became a sudden success”可知,这本书很成功。由第三段可知,害羞是看世界的一种新方式。由第四段“Indeed,many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).”可知,许多害羞的人很成功。最后一段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评的,而是支持和赞成的。故选C项。‎ D It seems that you don’t think about your nose getting tired.You can smell grass after your neighbor cuts the lawn.You can smell delicious pizza baking as you walk by the pizza store.You can definitely smell the sour smell of your brother’s feet when he takes off his sneakers on a sweaty summer day.In fact,according to research published in Nature,your nose can detect about one trillion smells!‎ But your own underarms could give off unpleasant smells and you might not be able to tell: Humans tend to suffer from what scientists call olfactory fatigue(嗅觉疲劳);our sense of smell just gets plain tired out by familiar odors and stops detecting them.Believe it or not,that can actually be a good thing.‎ Pamela Dalton,a psychologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia,explained to the Washington Post that we filter out the same-old smells to make room for detecting new,strange smells—such as ones that might alert us to danger,like something burning,or something good to eat like that pizza.When these smells float past us,smell receptors in our noses detect their particular chemical components and send electrical signals to the frontal cortex(皮层)of our brains.And then we decide if we need to run away from fire,or get closer towards pizza.‎ If your sense of smell was weakened by your body odor —or other standard smells—we might not be able to detect the more important odors.‎ There are ways to avoid showing up to work giving smelly odors like a skunk(臭鼬).One way is to take your shirt off and sniff that instead of your skin,recommends Lifehacker.Other ways to check your own scent is to rub your skin,then smell your fingers;check your breath by licking your arm,waiting a second,then sniffing the spot.Or even quicker and easier—ask someone to give you a sniff!‎ ‎【语篇解读】 文章主要结合人是否会出现嗅觉疲劳来介绍嗅觉的灵敏性,选择性及其工作原理,同时就体臭这一话题提出几条可行性建议。‎ ‎32.Why do people tend to think their noses never get tired?‎ A.The noses are strong enough.‎ B.They are confident in themselves.‎ C.The nose can detect nearly all smells.‎ D.The nose can function well in all cases.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,鼻子可以检测到几乎各种气味,所以人们不会觉得鼻子会累。‎ ‎33.Why does the author say our sense of smell’s stopping detecting familiar odors a good thing?‎ A.It helps alert us to danger.‎ B.It prefers new smells to old ones.‎ C.It helps our sense become stronger.‎ D.It can help distinguish more important smells.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,鼻子过滤掉相同的旧气味,是为检测新的、奇怪的气味腾出空间,所以说嗅觉疲劳是一件好事。‎ ‎34.How many ways are suggested to avoid showing up to work without a smelly odor?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.2. B.3.‎ C.4. D.5.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。通过最后一段可知,检查你自己气味的其他方法包括4种:脱下你的衬衫闻一闻;摩擦皮肤,然后闻手指;舔一下胳膊,等一秒钟,然后再闻一闻;让别人闻一闻。‎ ‎35.Which is the right working order of our brain when making a decision in terms of smell?‎ ‎①The smell floats past us.‎ ‎②Smell receptors send electrical signals to our brains.‎ ‎③Smell receptors detect the particular chemical components.‎ ‎④We decide whether we need to run away or get closer.‎ A.①②③④ B.①③②④ ‎ C.②③①④ D.③②①④‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。由第三段第二、三句可知,当气味从我们身边飘过时,鼻子里的嗅觉感受器会检测到它们的特殊化学成分,并将电信号发送到大脑的额叶皮层,最后做出判断决定是逃离还是走近。‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Although

‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,在迷宫里两个小矮人和两只老鼠都在寻找奶酪,不同之处在于老鼠在寻找自己所喜欢的硬奶酪,而小矮人在寻找那个让自己幸福成功的奶酪。这个故事旨在于阐述人类与动物的区别在于人们会思考。‎ ‎56.looking　考查非谓语动词。动词短语look for与four little characters构成主动关系,使用动词-ing形式作状语,所以要填looking。‎ ‎57.to notice　考查非谓语动词。本句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to notice what the four of them were doing。‎ ‎58.carefully　考查副词。本句中应该使用副词修饰动词looked,所以要填carefully。‎ ‎59.the most amazing　考查形容词。句中使用形容词最高级表示强调,所以要填the most amazing。‎ ‎60.but　考查连词。句意:每天那两只头脑虽然简单但却有很好本能的老鼠Sniff 和Scurry一直在寻找他们喜欢的硬奶酪,这是老鼠经常做的事情。根据句意可知上下文是转折关系,所以要填but。‎ ‎61.as/which　考查定语从句。所填关系代词指代前面一句话的内容,引导定语从句并在句中作动词do的宾语,所以要填as/which。‎ ‎62.Filled　考查形容词。形容词短语filled with many beliefs作定语对the two little people的情况进行说明,所以要填Filled。‎ ‎63.was believed　考查时态语态。句中it是形式主语,与动词believe构成被动关系,要用被动语态,而且本句叙述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时的被动语态,所以要填was believed。‎ ‎64.successful　考查形容词。句中形容词successful与happy是并列结构,都要使用形容词,所以要填successful。‎ ‎65.in　考查固定短语。介词短语in common“相同的”,在句中作定语修饰代词something。所以填介词in。‎ 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)‎ 第一节(满分15分)‎ 假如你是晨光中学的学生李华,你的美国笔友 Peter

Middle School Art Festival was hosted by our school last Friday.‎ The festival was to carry forward traditional culture and promote cultural exchange.And it provided audience with a stage where they could sample different forms of traditional Chinese and foreign culture while putting on performance.Last Friday,on the 30th of June,the festival was held in the Shiyu Building.All of us students took part in it.By the way,I had a good grasp of traditional Chinese and foreign culture.I sincerely hope that you can join us in our performance next time.‎ Looking forward to your reply. ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎ 第二节(满分25分)‎ 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。‎ Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who ‎ was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play. ‎ As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.‎ ‎“You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean,then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot,but if I give this to you,will you play a song for her?She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.” ‎ I told her I’d be happy to play for free.‎ As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.” ‎ Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face. ‎ I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.‎ Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”‎ Paragraph 1:‎ She took off her sunglasses. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ When I stopped playing and looked up,I was shocked to see a small crowed around us. ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 Paragraph 1:‎ She took off her sunglasses.I could tell a faint glow pierced the dark clouds of frustration in her eyes.I gestured to her to sit opposite to me and she slowly moved closer.I kept on playing the guitar,trying to reveal my sympathy,understanding and comfort through the soft melodies.It seemed that she couldn’t but recall the bitter and severe days she went through as tears streamed down her cheeks.She didn’t wipe them off but had them falling down,as if all her worries and sorrows went away as well. ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ When I stopped playing and looked up,I was shocked to see a small crowed around us.They looked at me with enthusiasm,bursting into applause.Annie stood up and clapped her hands too.Several women,having kept an eye on her,approached and hugged her,whispering some cheerful words before they left.Refreshed and relieved,Annie threw her arms around my neck and uttered,“Thank you for your music”,which assured the Broom Lady of her return to normal speech.I had put on numerous shows to different audiences,but this remained the most healing and rewarding one. ‎
