Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ ‎    Jane Addams (1860-1935)‎ ‎    Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.

In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ ‎    Rachel Carson (1907-1964)‎ ‎   If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.

The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.     1.When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as “Excuse me”     2.In British English “Sir” and “Madam” are considered to be too formal for most situations. They are used mostly to customers in shops or restaurants. While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with old people whose names you don’t ‎ know.     3.When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr., “Mrs.”, “Ms”, etc, before their family names.     4.There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men. 5.According to the passage, “Excuse me” is mainly used to _____. A.address a person you don’t know B.apologize to others C.catch the attention of a stranger D.suggest good manners 6.If John Smith is your best friend, according to the passage you should often call him _____.

B.People often use “Mr.”, “Mrs.” or “Ms.” before the first names of those people who they don’t know very well. C.“Pal” and “mate” are usually only used among men. D.While addressing friends, people just use their first names 8.The passage is mostly likely taken from an English _____. A.textbook B.card C.storybook D.grammar book C ‎ One day two young men are walking in a big forest. One is fat, and the other ‎ is thin. “We are good friends. We must help each other. If we meet any beast, I’ll help you,” the thin man says. “I’ll help you, too,” the fat one says. They walk on.   After a while they hear a great noise. It is a big bear. It is coming this way. The two young men run away quickly. One of them climbs up a tree, and hides among the leaves. He forgets all about his friend. What about the fat one? He is too fat to climb up a tree. So he throws himself on the ground, closes his eyes, and pretends to be dead. “The bear will think I’m dead,” he thinks to himself. Soon the bear comes up to the fat man, and even puts its nose to his mouth and ears. The fat man holds his breath. The bear thinks he is dead, so it goes away, because bears never touch the dead.   The man in the tree comes down. With a smile he asks his friend, “The bear puts its nose so close to your ears. What does it say to you?” The friend answers, “The bear says, “Don’t trust your friend. He runs away from you when you need his help most.” 9._____ climbs up a tree quickly.

D.He also knows what the bear says.‎ D ‎ There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. “Face the music” is a good example.‎ ‎    Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the key and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you do not listen. You want to show off and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around the town. As a result, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music.” That could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.‎ ‎    The expression is more than 150 years old. In 1851, the writer James Fenimore Cooper explained “face the music” as theatrical term. In a theater, the orchestra(管弦乐队) often sits in the front of the stage facing the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. “Face the music” came to mean accepting stage fright and not giving in to it.‎ ‎    Word experts also say “face the music” may have come from the military. A soldier who did something terrible could be forced out of the army. When that happened, the army drummers would play slow, sad beat. The soldier would be led away seated backward on a horse and facing the music of the drums.‎ ‎    There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music.” If someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the result.‎ ‎13.What does the underlined part “the music” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A.The unpleasant ‎ music. B.The beautiful red sports car. C.The music played by the orchestra. D.The bad result of your actions.‎ ‎14.Which of the following is an example of “face the music”?‎ A.You have held a concert successfully. B.You will buy the sports car you like best. C.Your friend invites you to attend a live concert. D.You have to go home with your bad exam results.‎ ‎15.What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph?‎ A.The origin of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” B.Some other expressions similar to “face the music.” C.The true meaning of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” D.Other examples to explain the meaning of “face the music.”‎ II.阅读七选五（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。‎ How to Love Your Parents ‎    Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents. ‎ ‎    16 . A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world.

You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents.

It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over ‎ your head when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 18 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?‎ ‎    Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 19 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.‎ ‎    Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 20 Seek help if you are being abused in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.‎ A. Forgiveness is the key.‎ B. Parents will in turn express their love to you.‎ C. Tell them you love them every morning.‎ D. After this, share your feelings with your parents.‎ E. Please remember parents are as important as friends.‎ F. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can.‎ G. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.‎ III. 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ My husband and I arrived in a new country just a month ago.We were sort of     21     about what was waiting for us.However,when we     22     at the airport,a tall man with smiling eyes greeted us.The days and months were     23     made easy for us by this kind man.‎ He greeted us every day with his smiling face.He     24     us in going to the bank,in buying our groceries,in telling us     25     to buy almost everything.He told us he is our big brother.‎ ‎        26   ,we watched the match in a coffee shop.During the first get-together,he     27     us that we’re lucky—my husband and I are     28     in this foreign land.He said he has been      29     for eight years now because he rarely sees his family,     30     they are in his home country.‎ During the second get-together,he     31     told us that we are his family.He said that he loves us and that he will     32     us because he has been given a     33     of 45 days to go back to his home country.That night,he spoke these words which     34     a great impact in my life,“You changed my life...”‎ ‎    That night deep in our hearts we were     35     by our friend’s words.We texted him upon reaching home,     36     him for being a big brother to us in the foreign land.We told him     37     that we feel safe in going out when we are with him,to which he     38     ,“You are my family here.”‎ ‎    On the first week of October,we’re going to     39     him back from his vacation.We’ll watch the football match again in that     40     shop that holds dear memories.‎ ‎21.A.curious    B.worried    C.certain    D.crazy 22.A.checked    B.dropped    C.landed    D.settled 23.A.therefore    B.instead    C.anyhow    D.otherwise 24.A.expected    B.troubled    C.comforted    D.accompanied 25.A.when    B.where    C.why    D.whether 26.A.Once    B.So    C.Twice    D.Finally 27.A.informed    B.warned    C.blamed    D.convinced 28.A.together    B.nearby    C.around    D.apart 29.A.sick    B.lonely    C.cheerful    D.scared 30.A.if    B.unless    C.as    D.although 31.A.secretly    B.jokingly    C.proudly    D.sincerely 32.A.remember    B.miss    C.forget    D.respect 33.A.delay    B.right    C.vacation    D.date 34.A.created    B.designed    C.solved    D.received 35.A.puzzled    B.touched    C.astonished    D.flattered 36.A.thanking    B.forgiving    C.repaying    D.punishing 37.A.after all    B.as well    C.in return    D.in advance 38.A.agreed    B.objected    C.added    D.replied ‎ ‎39.A.see    B.pick    C.call    D.force 40.A.book    B.grocery    C.coffee    D.sports ‎ 第II卷 非选择题（共50分）‎ IV. 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎ As is known to us all, Yuan Longping was a pioneer of agriculture in China.

2.A; 3.D; 4.B 解析：1.细节理解题。根据Jane Addams(1860—1935)部分的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need”可知,Jane Addams因她的社会福利工作而出名。 2.细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)部分的“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman”可知,她不能在律师事务所工作的原因是女性会受到性别歧视。 3.细节理解题。根据Rosa Parks(1913—2005)部分的“It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civil-rights movement”可知,她的举动最终推动了民权运动。 4.推理判断题。Jane Addams是社会福利工作的带头人;Rachel Carson是环境运动的发起者;Sandra Day O’Connor是反对性别歧视的领头人;Rosa Parks是民权运动的推动者。由此可见,这四位女性都是先驱者 B.答案：5.C; 6.A; 7.B; 8.A 解析：5.根据文中第一条规则第二句可知答案为C。 6.根据文中“If you are friends,use their first names” 可知答案为A。 7.根据原文可知A、B、C三项说法是正确的;根据第三条…if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr.”, “Mrs.” “Ms.”, etc, before their family names可知B项是错误的,故选B。 8.根据常识可知,card, storybook, grammar book一般不会有这样的文章,只有textbook中才可能有这样的文章。故选A 答案： 9.B; 10.D; 11.D; 12.A 答案： 13.D; 14.D; 15.B 二、七选五 ‎16-20.答案：C; D; A; F; G 三、完形填空 ‎21-40.答案：21.B; 22.C; 23.A; 24.D; 25.B;26.C; 27.D; 28.A; 29.B; 30.C; 31.D; 32.B; 33.C; 34.A; 35.B; 36.A; 37.B; 38.D; 39.A; 40.C 解析：21.curious“好奇的”;worried“担心的”;certain“肯定的”;crazy“疯狂的”。由情理可知当人们初到异国他乡,在举目无亲的情况下,面对陌生的环境心里是担忧的,不安的。 22.checked“检查”;dropped“下降”;landed“着陆”;settled“定居”。根据“at the airport”可知他们是乘飞机去的,所以用land“着陆,降落”。 23.therefore“因此”;instead“取代”;anyhow“无论如何”;otherwise“否则”。从下文可知因为有了这个和善的“大哥哥”的帮助,他们在这个新地方的生活变得很容易,所以此处表示因果关系,故选A。 24.expected“期待”;troubled“麻烦”;comforted“安慰”;accompanied“陪伴”。根据下文“going to the bank,in buying our groceries”,可以判断作者和她丈夫是在他的陪同下购物,办理一切手续等。 25.when“何时”;where“何地”;why“为什么”;whether“是否”。根据语境“in showing us __________________ to buy almost everything”判断他告诉给我们去哪里买东西,此处指买东西的地方,故答案选B。 26.Once“一次;一旦;”So“因此”;Twice“两次”;Finally“最终”。根据下文During the  first get-together,“During the second get-together”可知是两次。 27.informed“通知”;warned“警告”;blamed“责备”;convinced“使信服”。从下文的讲述可知这位好心的“大哥哥”独自在国外八年,通过这种对比可知因为有着丈夫的陪伴,作者深信自己是幸运的。 28.together“一起”;nearby“附近”;around“四处”;apart“分开”。根据上下文可以判断,此处侧重与那位好心人孤身一人在国外居住进行对比,所以答案选A。 29.sick“生病的”;lonely“孤独的”;cheerful“欢呼”;scared“害怕的”。根据下文“he rarely sees his family...they are in his home country”判断,他是独自一人居住在国外,所以用lonely“孤独的”,选B。 30.if“如果”;unless“除非”;as“由于”;although“尽管”。从“he rarely sees his family”和“they are in his home country”判断,前后句是因果关系,答案选C。 3‎ ‎1.secretly“秘密地”;jokingly“开玩笑地”;proudly“自豪地”;sincerely“真诚地”;由情理可知,当他说“He said that he loves us...”的时候应该是发自内心、真诚地说,故答案选D。 32.remember“记得”;miss“错过”;“想念”;forget“忘记”;respect“尊重”。根据后句“because he has been given a ____________________ of 45 days to go back to his home country” 可知他要回国,由情理可知在此他表示在此期间他会想念作者和他丈夫。答案选B。 33.delay“推迟”;right“权力”;vacation“假期”;date“日期”。根据下文“...from his vacation”可以判断他获得了一个45天的假期,选C。 34.created“创造;造成”;designed “设计”;solved “解决”; received“受到”。那天晚上,他的话对我的生活产生重大影响。 35.puzzled“迷惑的”;touched“感动的”;astonished“震惊的”;flattered“奉承的;谄媚的”。由上文“He said that he loves us”等可知,这位热心人的坦诚让作者非常感动,答案选B。 36.thanking“感谢”;forgiving“原谅”;repaying“报答”;punishing“惩罚”。在上文中作者提到这位热心人给予他们无私的帮助,由此推断作者在此是表示对他的感激,thank sb. for sth./doing sth.意为“因……而感激”,选A。 37.after all“毕竟;终究”;as well“也”;in return“回报”;in advance“预先”。上文作者发短信表示对这位好人的感激,所以此处再提到其他内容时可以用as well,意思是“也”,答案选B,其他选项不合语境。 38.agreed“同意”;objected“反对”;added“加”;replied“回复”。根据下文“You are my family here.”可知,这是“大哥哥”所回短信的内容,reply to“对……做出回复、回答”,故答案选D。 39.see“看”;pick“捡”;call“叫”;force“强迫”。从下文“We’ll watch the football match again”可知,作者是去见刚刚探亲回来的这位朋友,故答案选A。 40.book “书”;grocery “杂货”; coffee “咖啡”;sports“运动”。根据上文“the match in a coffee shop”可以推断,他们会再次去那家有着美好回忆的咖啡店去看球赛,答案选C。‎ 四、语法填空 答案： from; finding; as; satisfied; Although/Though; really; the; hunger; Thanks; his 五、短文改错 答案：Dear Jin Jing,     Your problem is  common one among middle school students.Maybe the following can help you.First all, believe in yourself.Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence.The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates.One smile speaks about your wish to make friends than any word.Your smile will show that you are friendly to .Next, talking with a student who is as shy as you or who the same interest as you.You can discuss your studies with a classmate and you can also talk about your hobbies. anyone is in trouble, you should be ready to help him or her.Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as . ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Lily 六、书面表达 答案： Dear John,‎ ‎    I’m writing to invite you to Lanzhou, China.‎ ‎    I know that you always dream of experiencing Chinese culture.
