Dear students,
I am delighted to be your guest.
I would like to tell you about myself.I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years.I chose this job so I could travel the world,but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons.The work is sometimes difficult.I have seen famines,wars,earthquakes,poverty and death.But I have also seen courage,hope and happiness.
In India,I visited a city where there were many homeless children.Some were as young as four years old.They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing.But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them.Within one year,she was looking after two hundred children.She clothed them,fed them,and taught them.She gave them hope.
Another time,I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake.In one place,I found an old lady whose house was in ruins,her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive.But the old lady did not give up hope.For four days,she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself.She did not stop until she found her son.He was alive.
Here in China,I met a young boy with a serious condition.He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital.I thought he would be sad,but when I met him,his smile was so warm and welcoming.
In life,we need role models that we can admire and learn from.When my life is difficult,I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.
One such example is the word “matter”.In fact,“matter” can mean just about anything.It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.
Let's get to the heart of the “matter”—a matter of principle.
If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50,but you don't,a friend might say,“Well,you could pay him the $50.It's not that much money.Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money,do not pay him the money.It's a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word “matter”.But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone,“What's the matter?”,it shows you are worried about the other person.But saying,“What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning.And it usually sounds rude.In fact,when you say,“What's the matter with you?”,you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say,“It doesn't matter to me.” Here,it depends on the context,and how you say it.
Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work.That person answers with,“It doesn't matter to me.” Here,it means he or she does not care.And it sounds rude.
But saying,“Oh,you pick where we eat dinner.It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude.In this situation,“It doesn't matter.” shows you are easygoing.
No matter how you look at it and what you say,“matter” is a very useful word.And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of “matter”.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“matter”一词的主要用法。
28.We can infer from the text that the word “matter” ________.
A.has a wide use
B.can mean money
C.is the most used English word
D.has the most different expressions
A [推理判断题。根据第一、二段的描述可知,matter一词用法很广。]
29.What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?
A.Every penny counts.
B.Stick to what is right.
C.Follow your friend's advice.
D.Be careful when making friends.
B [推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“But if you do not owe him the money,do not pay him the money.It's a matter of principle.”可知,如果你没有欠他的钱,就不要付给他钱,这是一个原则问题。因此作者建议在对的事情上要坚持自己的立场,不要轻易做出让步或改变。故选B。]
30.The underlined word “context” in the text probably means “________”.
A.choice B.person
C.situation D.answer
C [词义猜测题。根据倒数第二、三段举例说明“It doesn't matter to me.”在不同的语境里意思不同可知,该表达取决于上下文语境。故选C。]
31.The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A.using examples
B.giving instructions
C.describing his experiences
D.discussing research findings
A [写作手法题。文中用不同的例子来讲解“matter”的用法,故作者主要是通过举例来展开全文的。故选A。]
D
Physical education,or PE,isn't required for all high school students.In some schools,it isn't offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don't do sports.But as is known to all,doing sports is very important for an adult.Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn't that easy.Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student's studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better,helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症).Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.The increase in activities that don't get teens to move around,such as video games and computer activities,means many teens don't get their required exercise.PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Not doing sports increases teens' risk of developing many diseases.An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.As much as 75 percent of healthcare spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President's Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN),students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance.Students from programs with no physical activity,who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。
32.According to Paragraph 2,what does physical education in high school mean?
A.Making teens attach importance to exercise later.
B.Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
C.Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
D.Helping teens learn to make good plans.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.”可知,高中体育教育意味着让青少年重视以后的锻炼。故选A。]
33.What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Measured. B.Prevented.
C.Shown. D.Caused.
B [词义猜测题。根据上文可知,不运动会增加青少年患多种疾病的风险。积极的生活方式是预防这些健康问题的好方法。而画线词所在句意为“多达75%的医疗支出用于治疗可能因生活方式改变而受阻的疾病”故可推知“hindered”的意思是受阻,故选B。]
34.According to the PCFSN,doing sports ________.
A.means making students choose between sports and studies
B.helps students make good use of all their time
C.means students adjust to their studies better
D.helps students do better in their studies
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Students from programs with no physical activity,who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.”可推断出,做运动能帮助学生在学习上做得更好。故选D。]
35.What is the text mainly about?
A.Why high school students should receive physical education.
B.Why some schools consider physical education important.
C.How schools can help students love doing sports.
D.How high school students can live a better life.
A [主旨大意题。第一段中的“But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly ‘yes’.”是全文的主题句,结合全文内容可知,这篇文章主要讲了为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。故选A。]

If you are hungry,what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?__36__ But you don't realize it,because your mind is busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars.If your mind is always hungry,it doesn't grow.When your mind fails to grow,creativity stops.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”“Why can't I think?”
__37__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood.Since it helps with other parts of our life,we have to get help from reading.
Once you read a book,you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.__38__ Now this seed is used by you to develop new ideas,although you don't realize it.If it is used many times,the same seed can give you great help to create a lot of things,which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity.__39__ When you've read widely enough,you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and find yourself able to freely use plenty of good right words.
So dear friends,do give food for your mind by reading,reading and more reading.__40__ Go and get a book!
A.Now what are you waiting for?
B.Reading can help you make more friends,too.
C.Just like your stomach,your mind is also hungry.
D.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
E.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.
F.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
G.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了读书对我们的好处。
36.C [根据上文的句子“If you are hungry,what do you do?”可知,这里意思是:就像你的胃,你的思想也会饥饿的。故选C。]
37.G [根据下文“Why reading but not watching TV?”可知,这里意思是:要解决思想的饥饿我们就要阅读。故选G。]
38.F [根据下文“Now this seed is used by you to develop new ideas... ”可知,F项“书中有趣的地方会像种子一样存在于你的头脑中”切题。故选F。]
39.E [根据下文“When you’ve read widely enough,you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and...”可知,这里意思是:它也对你的词汇量有很大的贡献。故选E。]
40.A [根据下文的句子“Go and get a book!”可知,这里意思是:现在你在等什么?故选A。]

语篇解读 这是莉莉写给艾米的一封信。 在信中,她介绍了自己的学校及学校生活。
56.解析: exciting 考查词性转换。此处意为:……是令人兴奋的。故用exciting。
57.解析: to prepare 考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式短语作后置定语,故填to prepare。
58.解析: to offer 考查固定搭配。be ready to do sth.乐于做某事。
59.解析: With 考查介词。在他们的帮助下,我们对艺术和科学产生了各种各样的兴趣。with one's help在某人的帮助下。
60.解析: interested 考查词性转换。be interested in对……感兴趣。
61.解析: that/which 考查定语从句。此处为定语从句,修饰先行词the subjects,关系词在定语从句中作study的宾语,指物,所以填that/which。

63.解析: chose 考查动词的时态。这学期我选择了音乐。表示发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,所以填chose。

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。
It was late spring when my mom and I were driving through the countryside.Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom.However,little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat,whose pleasant smell filled the car.Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over.“What are you doing?” I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there,so far from home.Fortunately,that wasn't the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It'll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently,I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared emptyhanded.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there?” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What?” She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially those who haven't received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we went on with our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mom's deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn't know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passerby,since we had seen so few along the way.

【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help.God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them.While we were laughing and talking merrily,we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road. I asked Mom to pull up and paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers.Soon,the pleasant scent filled the car again.Mom tried to hide her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.This was the trip of my life.
