Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort. Jessica was a healthy woman, One day, while she was working on a brilliant idea that suddenly struck her, which she thought would be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem she was working on, she suddenly lost consciousness. After she was rushed to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to concentrate on what was causing her problem. After several weeks, Jessica was still stiff from head to foot, but luckily, she was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is not to be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8. For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality. In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful, without doubt, is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels best: Love. ” After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered. Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone. 41. What is the correct order of the following events? a. Jessica was introduced to Consuelo Gonzalez. b. Jessica went back to work and wrote a new living will. c. Doctors spent nine days to find out what caused Jessica’s problem. d. Jessica was able to ask the doctors questions she had long wanted answers to. e. Jessica worked on a brilliant idea for solving the mathematical problem. A. ecadb B. adcbe C. ecdba D. adbce 42. Which statement is correct in Jessica’s story? A. Jessica became deaf as a result of the sudden disease after losing consciousness. B. Consuelo must have a gift in psychology as she could separate dreams from reality. C. Consuelo accompanied Jessica all the time in the hospital until the latter recovered. D. Doctors focused on the cause of Jessica’s disease before Consuelo offered help. 43. How can we describe Consuelo Gonzalez? A. Friendly and cautious. B. Brave and creative. C. Kind and caring. D. Determined and humorous. 44. Which of the following best explains “incapacitated” underlined in the last paragraph? A. Deadly exhausted. B. Seriously ill. C. Desperately lonely. D. Incredibly compulsory. 45. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Love can make people no longer alone facing difficulties. B. Creating communication between human beings is rewarding. C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself. D. Love is key to the attainment of others’ respect. C After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together. Together these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts ofUncle Tom’s Cabinwhile cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 46. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. propose a definition B. make a comparison C. reach a conclusion D. present an argument 47. What does the example of Galileo tell us? A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious. C. Creativity results from challenging authority. D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 48. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent? A. Observe the unknown around you. B. Develop a questioning mind. C. Lead a life of adventure. D. Follow the fashion. 49. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7? A. Gaining success helps you become an expert. B. The genius tends to get things done creatively. C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection. 50. What could be the best title or the passage? A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented B. Reflections on Human Nature C. The Keys to Achievement D. Never Too Late to Learn 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题. When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.”She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration. After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad. “We don't require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction. Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.” 51. What did Veronika Scott do to finish her task from her studies? (no more than 15 words) 52 Where did Veronika Scott get her second inspiration?(no more than 10 words) 53 What is Veronika’s purpose of founding Empowerment Plan? (no more than 10 words) 54. What does the underlined word mean in the Paragraph?(no more than 1 words) 55. What do you think of Veronika? Why?

Presented 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：面对两份工作机会，我们可能会想知道到底是什么让我们在两者之间做出选择（如何选择要看自己真正看重的是什么）。句中已有谓语动词wonder，所以此处为非谓语作状语，present与主语we之间为动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动和完成，作状语。故选D。 13.

Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort. Jessica was a healthy woman, One day, while she was working on a brilliant idea that suddenly struck her, which she thought would be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem she was working on, she suddenly lost consciousness. After she was rushed to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to concentrate on what was causing her problem. After several weeks, Jessica was still stiff from head to foot, but luckily, she was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is not to be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8. For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.

That’s what feels best: Love. ” After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered. Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands.

I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together. Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts ofUncle Tom’s Cabinwhile cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 46. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.

Curious Minds Never Feel Contented B. Reflections on Human Nature C. The Keys to Achievement D. Never Too Late to Learn 【答案】46. D 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.可知，作者经过多年对人性的观察，认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足，而且两者是相辅相成的。由此推知，作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”可知，像伽利略一样，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”由此推知，伽利略的例子告诉我们，伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”及第四段中的“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.可知，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”孟子认为“不失去孩子的心，就是伟大的人。”然而，我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流。由此可知，你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑，来重新获得好奇心和不满。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.及第七段中的You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.以及列举了Thomas Costain在57岁时出版了他的第一部小说，Grandma Moses在78岁时展示了她的第一批照片。由此可知，这两段想告诉我们“缺乏天赋和时间不是不采取行动的理由”。故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.及下文论述可知，本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。由此可知，C项The Keys to Achievement(成就的关键)适合做本文最佳标题。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题. When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.”She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration. After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad. “We don't require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction. Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.” 51. What did Veronika Scott do to finish her task from her studies? (no more than 15 words) 52. Where did Veronika Scott get her second inspiration?(no more than 10 words) 53. What is Veronika’s purpose of founding Empowerment Plan? (no more than 10 words) 54. What does the underlined word mean in the Paragraph?(no more than 1 words) 55. What do you think of Veronika? Why? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. She designed and made overcoats and gave them away to homeless people. Or: She made overcoats and handed them out to the homeless. 52. From the woman who voiced her dissatisfaction. Or: From the woman who was dissatisfied with what she did 53. To enable homeless people to help themselves. Or: To help homeless people make a living on their own 54. Way. Or. Method. 55. She is caring and creative, because she has come up with several ideas to help the poor. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Veronika Sott 通过给流浪者设计睡袋，并通过the Empowerment Plan（赋权计划）给无家可归的人提供工作机会，进而帮助他们改变现状的故事。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。从第一段的句子She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. 可知，她想出了一个主意，可以兼做睡袋的大衣，她做了25件，并分发给住在城市废弃操场上避难所的人们。结合字数限制，故答案是She designed and made overcoats and gave them away to homeless people. Or: She made overcoats and handed them out to the homeless. 【52题详解】 推理判断题。从第一段的句子…one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration. …一位女性表达了不满。她对Veronika说：“我们不需要大衣，我们需要工作。” 于是Veronika就有了第二灵感。又从第二段的句子：After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. 2012年大学毕业后，Veronika创立了非盈利组织“赋权计划”。推理可知，Veronika的第二个灵感是因为那位女性的表达的不满言语得来的，结合字数限制，故答案是From the woman who voiced her dissatisfaction. Or: From the woman who was dissatisfied with what she did 【53题详解】 推理判断题。从第二段句子She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. 她雇佣了两名无家可归的妇女来缝制这些外套，并用她通过博客收到的捐款来支付她们的工资。又从第三段句子Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction. 几乎所有的雇员最终都搬进了永久性住房，有些人也在汽车行业和建筑业找到了工作。由此可推之，创办Empowerment Plan的目的就是为了给无家可归的人提供帮助，给他们工作机会，自己谋生。结合字数限制，故答案是To enable homeless people to help themselves. Or: To help homeless people make a living on their own 【54题详解】 词义猜测题。从第四句Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.” 不过，比起外套，Veronika更关注生产这些外套的工人。“说到底，”她说，“这件外套是我们雇佣员工的工具。”可推知，Veronika更关注的是生产工人，而不是外套本身，因此外套只是雇佣员工的一个方法而已。结合字数限制，故答案是Way. Or. Method. 【55题详解】 推理判断题。从第一段句子Then she had her second inspiration.可知，然后她就有了第二个灵感。由此可推知，她能从身边的事情中获取灵感，证明了她具有创造力。又从第三段句子The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. 授权计划提供免费课程，并借钱给那些有资格的人。可推知，她创办的非营利组织非常具有关怀性。结合字数限制，故答案是She is caring and creative, because she has come up with several ideas to help the poor. 【点睛】阅读表达题测试目的是从多方位多角度考查阅读获取信息、处理信息并进行书面表达的能力。比传统的阅读理解题型更具有综合性和主观性，更能体现学生的综合语言运用能力。在回答问题前，要认真审题，判断问题的类型，弄清题目目的要求；回答要有针对性，避免答非所问；同时还要注意问题后的字数要求，回答要简洁，语言表达准确。 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 56. 假定你是李华，你所在社区计划举行中国传统文化节并准备在英文网站上邀请外国游客参加。请你给社区写一封邮件申请做文化节志愿者。内容包括： (1)写信目的；(2)个人优势；(3)希望获准。词数100左右。 Dear Sir or Madam, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir or Madam, Learning that volunteers are needed for the coming Chinese Traditional Culture Festival in our community, I’m delightedly writing to apply for the job.
