The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.‎ I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that it turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’ m fine now.‎ This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.‎ Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma（教条）— which is living with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.‎ ‎56. The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because _________________.‎ A. he had to rest at home B. his disease couldn’t be cured ‎ C. his disease was not serious at all D. he had to wait for the result of the test 57. When the author was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning, _________________.‎ A. he was very relaxed, because he knew everyone must die.‎ B. he felt it was hopeless.‎ C. he didn't believe the result the doctor told him. ‎ D. he was happy to accept the result because he was ready to die when he was 17 years old. ‎ ‎58. What does the author think of death?‎ A. He thinks it is impossible to avoid. ‎ B. He thinks it is not the end of life.‎ C. He thinks it is nothing to be scared of. ‎ D. He thinks it is the beginning of a new life.‎ ‎59. In the author’s opinion, we should________________.‎ A. follow others’ advice B. take no notice of diseases ‎ C. take exercise and keep healthy D. have the courage to follow our heart ‎60. What does the underlined word in Para.2 mean?‎ A. came across B. dealt with C. survived D. Supported ‎ B Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height ‎ of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.‎ But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your ideal height. Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.‎ No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches （6 centimeters） a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty （when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up）.‎ Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.‎ Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰） during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ---between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.‎ You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.‎ ‎61. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is .‎ A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期 C. 习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期 ‎62. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, .‎ A. you should have enough exercise ‎ B. you can ask doctors for help C. you should save the environment ‎ D. You can record your growth during puberty ‎63. This passage is mainly about .‎ A. how the genes work in your body B. when is the time you grow fast C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain height ‎64. After reading this passage, we can explain .‎ A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep time we need C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what healthy diet is ‎65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.‎ B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.‎ C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.‎ D. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.‎ ‎ C ‎ “No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.‎ For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.‎ There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.‎ Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.‎ ‎1. Be friendly and polite.‎ Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.‎ ‎2. Go out of your way to be nice.‎ Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.‎ ‎3. Remember names.‎ They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.‎ ‎4. Be open-minded.‎ Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.‎ ‎5. Listen patiently.‎ When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.‎ ‎66. The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life” means “ ” in this passage.‎ A. No one can live a hard life B. No one can live without difficulty C. No one can live alone D. No one can live on an island ‎67. Some of us feel it not easy to make friends because .‎ A. we are afraid to make bad friends ‎ B. we are too shy to take the first action C. we feel worried that we won’t be able to keep our friends D. we feel sure that we already have enough friends ‎68. We can learn from this passage that .‎ A. John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie B. friends are always friends C. few people bought Carnegie’s book D. the writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie ‎69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned（提及） in Carnegie’s book?‎ A. Say “excuse me” before you ask.. ‎ B. Don’t visit your neighbour too often.‎ C. Think more about others. ‎ D. People enjoy hearing their own names.‎ ‎70. The best possible title for this passage should be “ ”.‎ A. How to Make Friends B. A Famous Book C. About Friendship D. John Donne and Dale Carnegie 第二节（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正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. 71 Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.‎ Since fuel, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. 72 The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.‎ ‎ 73 This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.‎ A third method is called separation. 74 ‎ The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire.Fires have been grouped in three classes. 75 These materials usually help keep the fire on.Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.‎ A．Fire extinguishers should be available everywhere in our life.‎ B．They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out.‎ C．Where a fire breaks out, there will surely be unavoidable damage.‎ D．Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires.‎ E．Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen.‎ F．If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out.‎ G．It includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel. ‎ 第二卷 第四部分 写作（共四节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 单词拼写( 共10小题；每小题1分，满分l0分)‎ ‎76.

We should learn lessons from it.‎ ‎　　The drought can be caused by several factors. Firstly, about 63 percent of cities in China are facing water scarcity. The situation is worsened by pollution and industrialization. In addition, too many trees have been cut down, so forest coverage has been decreasing rapidly. What's more, some water conservation projects haven't been functioning properly, thus people there have had to rely more heavily on rainfall for their water supply. Most of China's irrigation systems are very old.‎ ‎　　In order to prevent this case coming about again, we should improve our awareness of saving water, making proper use of water and recycling water. Meanwhile, we ought to plant more trees and protect environment to prevent loss of water and soil erosion. Of course, the governments should increase investment and repair water conservation projects as timely as possible.‎
