Writing B. Written C. To write D. Write ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：用清晰的语言书写，这篇文章使读者对文学有了新的见解。句中逻辑主语为the text，与动词write为被动关系，故用过去分词作状语。故选B。‎ ‎12.The new technology will make ______ possible to grow food with very little water.‎ A. it B. it is C. that D. that is ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ A　[it 作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的 to grow food with very little water。]‎ ‎13.Helen managed to go to university by borrowing money from the bank, ______ turned out to be a wise decision.‎ A. what B. where C. which D. it ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查定语从句。句意：海伦设法从银行借钱上大学，结果是一个明智的决定。分析句子可知，这是一个非限定性定语从句，关系代词which指代前面的一件事。故选C。‎ ‎14.A powerful hurricane struck the town of America, ______ at least ten deaths.‎ A. caused B. to cause C. causes D. causing ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一场强烈的飓风袭击了美国小镇，造成至少十人死亡。句中用现在分词作结果状语，表示前一件事情所带来自然而然的结果。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】不定式和现在分词都可以作结果状语，但两者用法有区别：1、现在分词作结果状语，通常表示一种自然的结果，即属预料之中的事。2、不定式作结果状语，主要表示没有预料到的情况或结果，即属预料之外的事，通常与副词only连用。本题根据句意可知，属于意料之外的结果，故用不定式作结果状语。‎ ‎15.—I didn’t find the way to the station.‎ ‎—______ I had told you about it in detail.‎ A. How come? B. No wonder.‎ C. No problem. D. Who cares?‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——我没找到去车站的路。——怎么会这样？我已经详细地告诉过你了。A. How come? 怎么会这样？B. No wonder.怪不得。C. No problem.没问题。D.

She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.‎ This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon(三项全能).‎ On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.‎ And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.‎ I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.‎ All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.‎ Shine on, sweet baby.‎ ‎41. Kelly is nervous when ________.‎ A. situations are new to her B. she changes into a leader C. she is away from her mom D. boys are around her ‎42.

In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly _______.‎ A. overcame the fear B. expressed love to her C. won the gold medal D. took part in the sport ‎【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文讲述了“我”的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人,和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞，作为家长的作者一度对孩子的表现感到不知所措。但是女儿在尝试了一系列的第一次后，能够自信地战胜恐惧。作者对孩子在少儿三项全能比赛中出色表现感到自豪，最重要的是孩子克服了恐惧。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章中第一段所描述的She needs to warm up to situations，is hesitant to try new things以及But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous.可知，Kelly是一个慢热型的人，如果有新的情况，必然需要一段较长的时间适应，故选D。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race可知，作者全家都在给Kelly加油，故本题选B。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的内容，尤其是she jumped into the water，my heart soared可推断，作者当时的心情是又激动又自豪的，故本题应选A。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段的内容，尤其是It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before可推断，作者当时对孩子的表现感到自豪，因为孩子不再恐惧，能够自信地战胜恐惧，故本题应选B。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before以及第六段中的 I felt like I won that day可知，她已经克服了她的恐惧了，故选A。‎ C My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas, little food, and an attack by German U-boat. After getting here, her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.‎ One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend.

I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.‎ That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever.

It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the ‎ Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.‎ The first rounds of figure—skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.‎ The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two percent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two percent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on.‎ The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal. Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.‎ ‎“When people make comparison, they aren’t really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps cautious about the scores they give.” he said.‎ ‎“Later on, when judges are able to compare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”‎ ‎51. Robert Hardman’s words mainly tell about his ______.‎ A. explanation for the findings B. own achievement in the research C. suggestion to solve the problem D. comments on the findings ‎52. The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had a ______ percent chance of winning.‎ A. six B. four C. three D. two ‎53. According to the study, the best competitor does not always win possibly because he/she ______.‎ A. fails to show his/her very best B. is mistakenly put in the running order C. meets with unfair judges D. appears too early before the judges ‎54. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?‎ A. They believe the first is seldom the best.‎ B. They can’t remember things well enough.‎ C. They don’t really know what is good.‎ D. They show favor towards the contestants they like.‎ ‎55. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A contestant who appears last is sure to win.‎ B. Judges have a preference when giving scores.‎ C. The best way to come first is to go last.‎ D. Judges usually made no comparison in contests.‎ ‎【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. B 55.

Keep up the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager, his words couldn’t have been more inspiring. I kept it in my drawer until it got old. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and walk on air again.‎ Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging note to people in all walks of life. “when I made others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”‎ Over the years, I’ve tried to copy Don and write uplifting words, in a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth.‎ Why are positive note writers in such short supply? My guess is that people who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Thus, it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phone. Also, writing takes time; it is far easier to pick up the phone.‎ The drawback of phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured, and they bring strength and love to us.‎ Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss. I don’t know if it will make his day, but it made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, “Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too.”‎ ‎56.

(No more than 10 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎60. Have you been encouraged by anybody? And how? (No more than 25 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】56. Become confident. /Feel good about himself. /Become uplifted. ‎ ‎57. Because they may be self-conscious, and writing may cause misunderstanding, and also take time. ‎ ‎58. To make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself． ‎ ‎59. The power of a letter from Don Wolfe. ‎ ‎60. Yes, I was. When I didn’t do well in an exam, my best friend encouraged me to be confident and work harder.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 本文讲述的是来自Don Wolfe的一封信的力量。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后两句Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and walk on air again. 可知，每当作者怀疑自己是否有能力成为作家，就会重读，从而变得自信。可知答案为Become confident. / Feel good about himself. /Become uplifted.‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Thus it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phone. Also, writhing takes time; it is far easier to pick up the phone.可知他们不愿写信是因为他们可能会感到难为情，写作可能会引起误解，也花费时间。故答案为Because they may be self-conscious, and writing may cause misunderstanding, and also take time.‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss. I don’t know if it will make his day, but it made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, “Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too”.可知是为了鼓励他，使他感觉良好，对作家本人也是如此。故答案为To make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself.‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise (MLE), I didn’t get a lot of fan mail, so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning.和第二段第二句” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor.可知本文讲的是一封信的力量，故答案为The power of a letter from Don Wolfe.‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 开放题。根据考生的实际情况进行回答。参考答案为：Yes, I was. When I didn’t do well in an exam, my best friend encouraged me to be confident and work harder.‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎61.假定你是新华中学的李津，你的美国朋友Chris目前在天津学习汉语，他对中国传统文化非常感兴趣。本周五下午两点你校将要举办一个文化讲座，请根据以下提示给他写一封电子邮件，邀请他来参加。‎ ‎1. 你校陈老师讲解中国象棋文化的历史和传播；‎ ‎2. 讲座后有“以棋会友”活动；‎ ‎3. 你将陪同Chris并帮助翻译讲解。‎ 参考词汇：下象棋 play Chinese chess 注意：1. 词数不少于100；‎ ‎2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯；‎ ‎3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ Dear Chris,‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Li Jin ‎【答案】Dear Chris,‎ How delighted to know that you’re interested in Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese chess.
