I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world. Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language in a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and its baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader. Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big. What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event, reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. 41. What did the author’s mother do when she was a child? A. She read aloud to her. B. She listened to her reading. C. She bought many books for her. D. She encouraged her to read aloud. 42. According to Paragraph 3, the relationship between the author and the little boy was probably ______. A. mother and child B. teacher and student C. boss and worker D. writer and reader 43. What does the small child’s idea in the passage refer to? A. To reduce poverty. B. To overcome loneliness. C. To have a holiday for the read aloud. D. To create a World Read Aloud Day. 44. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. World Read Aloud Day has developed quickly. B. This year World Read Aloud Day are over 600 cities strong. C. World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event. D. World Read Aloud Day has reached over one million people. 45. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Sticking to reading isn’t easy. B. Reading aloud isn’t actually simple. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过自己的经历，讲述了朗读的巨大影响力。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world.”（许多年前，我母亲给我读了罗伯特·麦克洛斯基的《给萨尔的蓝莓》一书。我记得就像昨天一样，在一个寒冷的冬夜听到她的声音在我身边。母亲的声音改变了我的世界。）和第二段中“And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader.”（在那之后发生了很多次，一次又一次。大声朗读使我成为一个读者。）可知，作者小时候，妈妈大声给她朗读。故选A项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom.”（多年以后，我在教室里大声朗读一本绘本给一个小孩听。）可知，作者和小男孩之间是老师和学生的关系。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud.””（他是这样说的：“艾林太太，让我们确保每个人都知道这感觉有多好。让我们有一个大声朗读的假期。”）可知，小孩的想法指的是：建立一个节日来宣传大声朗读的好处。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event, reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.”（自从他与我们分享了这个好想法的那天起，世界朗读日已经成为一个全球性的活动，在全球超过65个国家有超过100万人参与。今年我们有超过600个城市，这个数字每天都在增长。）可知，从第五段我们可以推断出世界朗读日发展很快。故选A项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.”（当我说大声朗读将改变世界时，我知道这听起来很简单。但是，让孩子们接触故事的力量并一起分享故事的好处之一是，它很简单。它也很便宜，很容易做到。影响是巨大的。）可知，最后一段指出，大声朗读的方式简单、成本低且易操作，同时能让孩子成为有参与感的全球公民，每个孩子都有阅读的权利。由此可得出结论：阅读能轻松给孩子带来益处。故选B项。 C A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t be. One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt differently; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated. The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel enthusiastic for others and for ourselves. And enthusiasm is a heartfelt emotion that conveys loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you out of self-pity and into helpful action. 46. The author thought of his friend’s question as a good one because ________. A. he also wanted to know who held such an opinion B. it made him recall something during his childhood C. like his friend, he also thought life was unfair D. he learned something from the question as a youngster 47. Surrendering to the fact that life isn’t fair will ________. A. keep us from making everything perfect B. keep us from doing everything in our power C. make us face unfair treatment bravely D. make us know it’s our duty to perfect things 48. The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that ________. A. it’s nice to accept the injustice of life B. it’s nice to surrender to the life C. we should not surrender to the life D. we should not feel sorry for everything 49. In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that ________. A. you should not pity for others B. life isn’t and won’t be fair C. compassion is heartfelt emotion D. pity is a self-defeating emotion 50. According to the author, when recognizing life injustice, you may ________. A. take measures to solve life problem B. feel pity for other people C. do nothing to improve our life D. receive enthusiasm from others 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者结合自己的切身经历告诉我们虽然世界是不公平的，但我们必须得接受这个现实！ 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true.(这让我想起了小时候学到的东西:生活是不公平的。这是令人失望的，但绝对是事实。)”可知，作者认为他朋友的问题很好，因为作者也认为生活是不公平的。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge.(接受生活不公平这一事实的好处之一是，它鼓励我们尽己所能做到最好，从而使我们不再自怨自怜。我们知道，让一切尽善尽美不是“生活的工作”，这是我们自己的挑战。)”可知，承认生活是不公平的这一事实会让我们知道完善事物是我们的责任，故选D。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have.(接受生活不公平这一事实的好处之一是，它鼓励我们尽己所能做到最好，从而使我们不再自怨自怜。)”可知，文章的第二段主要讨论了接受生活的不公是件好事。故选A。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole.(虽然生活是不公平的，但这并不意味着我们不应该尽我们所能去改善自己的生活或整个世界。)”可知，“this very basic fact”指的是“生活不公平，也不会公平”这个事实，故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have.(接受生活不公平这一事实的好处之一是，它鼓励我们尽己所能做到最好，从而使我们不再自怨自怜。)”和倒数第二段的“The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should.(虽然生活是不公平的，但这并不意味着我们不应该尽我们所能去改善自己的生活或整个世界。相反，它表明我们应该这样做。)”可知，根据作者的说法，当认识到生活的不公时，你可能会采取措施解决生活中的问题，故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 “I like to see people of all races, the Chinese, the Malays and the Indians, especially little children, enjoying themselves in the park. I don’t know how long I will do this as I grow old. As long as I can do what I like, I’d like to continue.” This is what Mr Lee told a news reporter when he was asked about volunteering to keep the park a clean place. Lee Kim Siew is an 84-year-old retiree who has devoted five years of his life to cleaning up the park near his house. He works three hours every day with a plastic bag in his hand, walking back and forth around the large park. He stops every time he spots rubbish, picking it up and putting it into the plastic bag. Mr Lee is a familiar sight to those who visit the park regularly. They give a smile to the old gentleman and sometimes have a brief chat with him before leaving there. “When I first came here, I was shocked to find rubbish was thrown everywhere. It was so smelly,” explains Mr Lee. Cigarette ends, bottles and wrappers are what he always finds. At times, he even. digs a drain(下水道)with his hands to allow the water to flow from the pathways. Other times, he devotedly picks up the fallen branches and dried leaves to ensure the park is entirely clean. It seems that his old age doesn’t deter him from doing the cleaning, although Mr Lee says his age affects his movement When he first started doing the cleaning, he came to the park six times every week. Now he only does that four to five times weekly. The old man has also donated (捐赠)more than 67,00 used books to schools in local and neighboring regions. He hopes that his efforts can help people change their bad habit of throwing things carelessly. 51. Why does Mr. Lee volunteer in the park? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________ 52. How do the visitors in the park react to Mr. Lee? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________ 53. How did Mr. Lee find the park at first? (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word in Paragraph mean? ( 1 word) _______________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of Mr. Lee? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Because he likes to see different people enjoying themselves. 52. They smile at or chat with him. 53. Dirty and smelly. 54. Prevent 55. He is selfless and hardworking because what he has done set a good example to those polluting the environment. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一位84岁的退休人员李金肖用五年的时间致力于清理他家附近的公园使周围的环境变得美好，同时他还捐献了6700本旧书给当地和周边地区的学校的感人事迹。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段““I like to see people of all races, the Chinese, the Malays and the Indians, especially little children, enjoying themselves in the park. I don’t know how long I will do this as I grow old. As long as I can do what I like, I’d like to continue.”（我喜欢看到各个种族的人，华人、马来人和印度人，尤其是小孩子，在公园玩得很开心。我不知道我老了还能做这件事情多久。只要我能做自己喜欢的事情，我就愿意继续下去。)”可知，李金肖在公园做志愿者是因为他希望看到不同的玩得开心的人们。故答案为Because he likes to see different people enjoying themselves。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“They give a smile to the old gentleman and sometimes have a brief chat with him before leaving there.（他们会对这位老人微笑，有时还会在离开之前和他简短地聊一聊。）”可知，公园里游客对李先生的回应是对他微笑或与他闲谈。故答案为They smile at or chat with him。 【53题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段““When I first came here, I was shocked to find rubbish was thrown everywhere. It was so smelly,” explains Mr Lee. Cigarette ends, bottles and wrappers are what he always finds.（当我第一次来到这里的时候，我很惊讶地发现到处都是垃圾，太臭了。”李先生解释道。他总是能找到烟头、瓶子和包装纸。）”可知，李先生起初发现公园是臭的，而且堆满了垃圾他总是能找到各种废物如瓶子、烟和包装纸，推断出公园起初是脏的。故答案为Dirty and smelly。 【54题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第四段划线单词的后半句“although Mr. Lee says his age affects his movement When he first started doing the cleaning, he came to the park six times every week. Now he only does that four to five times weekly.（虽然李先生说他的年龄影响了他的行动当他刚开始做清洁工作时，他每周来公园六次。现在他只能每周来四到五次。）可知，虽然李先生去公园的次数减少了，但是他能继续坚持他的工作，说明他的年龄并不能阻止他做清洁工作，推断出划线单词deter意为“阻止”。故答案为Prevent。 【55题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据第二段“Lee Kim Siew is an 84-year-old retiree who has devoted five years of his life to cleaning up the park near his house. He works three hours every day with a plastic bag in his hand, walking back and forth around the large park. He stops every time he spots rubbish, picking it up and putting it into the plastic bag. （李金肖是一名84岁的用他人生中五年的时间致力于清理他家附近的公园的退休人员。他手里拿着塑料袋在公园里来回走，每天工作三个小时。每次他看到有垃圾的时候都会停下，捡起垃圾并把它放到垃圾袋里。）及第五段“The old man has also donated (捐赠)more than 67,00 used books to schools in local and neighboring regions.（这位老人已经捐献了六千七百多本使用过的图书给当地的学校和附近的区域。）”通过文章的介绍，我认为李先生是一位勤劳和无私的老人。我觉得正是因为老人的勤劳和无私的行为给那些污染环境的人们树立了榜样。故答案为He is selfless and hardworking because what he has done set a good example to those polluting the environment。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国朋友Chris所在的学校要组织来中国进行主题夏令营活动，每个学生可以从以下三个主题营中选择一个参加：1．唐诗学习；2．乒乓球；3．剪纸学习。Chris来信希望你能给他推荐一个。请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）欢迎Chris来访； （2）推荐主题营并说明理由； （3）提出生活方面的建议。 注意： （1）词数不少于100词； （2）可以适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯； （3）文章的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：唐诗（Tang poems）；剪纸（paper-cutting） Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I am glad that you are going to join in summer camps in China.

B Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world. Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language in a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and its baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader. Years later I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big. What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event, reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. 41.

C A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t be. One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt differently; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated. The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel enthusiastic for others and for ourselves. And enthusiasm is a heartfelt emotion that conveys loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you out of self-pity and into helpful action. 46. The author thought of his friend’s question as a good one because ________.

I don’t know how long I will do this as I grow old. As long as I can do what I like, I’d like to continue.” This is what Mr Lee told a news reporter when he was asked about volunteering to keep the park a clean place. Lee Kim Siew is an 84-year-old retiree who has devoted five years of his life to cleaning up the park near his house. He works three hours every day with a plastic bag in his hand, walking back and forth around the large park. He stops every time he spots rubbish, picking it up and putting it into the plastic bag. Mr Lee is a familiar sight to those who visit the park regularly. They give a smile to the old gentleman and sometimes have a brief chat with him before leaving there. “When I first came here, I was shocked to find rubbish was thrown everywhere. It was so smelly,” explains Mr Lee. Cigarette ends, bottles and wrappers are what he always finds. At times, he even. digs a drain(下水道)with his hands to allow the water to flow from the pathways. Other times, he devotedly picks up the fallen branches and dried leaves to ensure the park is entirely clean. It seems that his old age doesn’t deter him from doing the cleaning, although Mr Lee says his age affects his movement When he first started doing the cleaning, he came to the park six times every week. Now he only does that four to five times weekly. The old man has also donated (捐赠)more than 67,00 used books to schools in local and neighboring regions. He hopes that his efforts can help people change their bad habit of throwing things carelessly. 51. Why does Mr. Lee volunteer in the park?
