She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired. The young apprentice (学徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is ____31____ I can do but change the uppers (鞋帮).” His master looked at them and said to me, “If you ____32____ me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.” I didn’t fully understand him, ____33____ I decided to leave the shoes. Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six ____34____ on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more ____35____ and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill. Another time, my wife’s ____36____ had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I’ll ____37____ it myself.” Three days went past, and I was very ____38____ to see it again: the ____39____ was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal (晶体).

Patches (补丁) can be ____42____ to look perfect.” replied my wife. Her words taught me even more. Perfection (完美) is ____43____ to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的); so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, ____44____ or disease. Since you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us.

What kind of text is it? A. An ad for a boat B. A poem about health. C. A picture book about food. D. A menu of a restaurant. B “Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队). He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him the greatest happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 49. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 50. According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy? A. Family. B. Success. C. Wealth (财富). D. Fame (名声). 51. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army. ② Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 52. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing. B. Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world. C. Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything. D. Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life. C ①My daughter gave me a new address book for my birthday. She knows the one I often use is very old now. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. ②My old address book tells my own story—the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. ③There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their addresses have been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. ④This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. ⑤“Don’t you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, once asked me when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information. It’s like he was never there. ⑥My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 53. The old information in the old address book can help the writer _________. A. move back home to Niagara B. connect with old friends again C. move around the world D. make more new friends 54. Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A. Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B. Because she wants to be different from the younger. C. Because it’s impossible to get back to the information if it is deleted. D. Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 55. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. The writer doesn’t like the new address book. B. The writer will start to use the new address book soon. C. The writer has decided to throw her old address book away. D. The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone. 56. What is the proper structure of the passage? A. ①—②③④⑤—⑥ B. ①②③—④—⑤⑥ C. ①②—③④—⑤⑥ D. ①—②③④—⑤—⑥ D Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these “pay-for-knowledge” products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Almost everything you need can be found online at this moment. “Pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise (兴起). Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts who serve famous companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts. The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, this is a reflection (反映) of respect for knowledge and talents. However, the rapid rise of “pay-for-knowledge” has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be an Industry’s Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating (欣赏) Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves. In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true. 57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. “Pay-for-knowledge” products can help all the people succeed. B. “Pay-for-knowledge” products can offer people different kinds of courses. C. People who can teach themselves need “pay-for-knowledge” products most. D. People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities. 58. Which is NOT the reason for “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? A The fast network and smartphone make it possible for people to get. B. People are afraid to miss any useful information. C. People need to learn new skills in today’s job market. D. People have to pay for educational podcasts or live videos. 59. The underlined phrase “be lucrative” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A. produce lots of money B. get much information C. win great respect D. enjoy self-growth 60. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. recommend the “pay-for-knowledge” products to people B. advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves online C. remind people to choose “pay-for-knowledge” products wisely D. teach parents how to buy some online courses for their children 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（6选5） There are 24 solar terms (节气) in a traditional Chinese solar calendar.

VIII. 阅读短文, 回答问题。（每题2分, 共10分） It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状) of colds. There is one interesting thing to note - some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. 96. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold? _____________________________________________________ 97. Why do you have difficulty breathing when you catch a cold? _____________________________________________________ 98. How might Americans, deal with colds? _____________________________________________________ 99.

What do you usually do to help get over a cold?(请自拟一句话作答) _____________________________________________________ IX. 书面表达（共25分） 101. 文明是一座城市最温暖的底色。作为全国文明城市，启东正在加快步伐，向“文明高地”攀登。值此暑假来临之际，请你写一篇演讲稿，以参加暑期“How to be a civilized middle school student?”为主题的演讲比赛。内容应包含以下要点： ▷礼仪修养：遵守交通规则，公共场合举止文明…… ▷关爱他人：参加志愿者活动…… ▷环境保护：节约能源……； 减少污染…… ▷暑假计划：按时完成作业；读书……旅行…… 注意： 1. 词数90词左右。(文章首尾已给，不计入总词数。) 2. 省略号部分适当发挥，增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear classmates, The summer holiday is coming soon!

Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队). He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him the greatest happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 49. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 50. According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy? A. Family.

She knows the one I often use is very old now. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. ②My old address book tells my own story—the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. ③There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their addresses have been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. ④This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. ⑤“Don’t you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, once asked me when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information. It’s like he was never there. ⑥My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 53. The old information in the old address book can help the writer _________. A. move back home to Niagara B. connect with old friends again C move around the world D. make more new friends 54. Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A. Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B. Because she wants to be different from the younger. C. Because it’s impossible to get back to the information if it is deleted. D. Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 55. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. The writer doesn’t like the new address book. B. The writer will start to use the new address book soon. C. The writer has decided to throw her old address book away. D. The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone. 56. What is the proper structure of the passage? A. ①—②③④⑤—⑥ B. ①②③—④—⑤⑥ C. ①②—③④—⑤⑥ D. ①—②③④—⑤—⑥ 【答案】53. B 54. C 55. B 56. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的女儿送给她了一个新地址簿作为礼物，作者因感情而珍惜旧的地址簿，因为上面承载了太多美好的回忆。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again.”可知，旧地址簿中的旧信息可以帮助作者再次与老朋友取得联系。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete all his information. It’s like he was never there.”可知，作者不喜欢在手机上保存朋友的信息是因为如果信息被删除了，就不可能再找回来了。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it.”可推知，作者很快就要开始使用新的通讯录了。故选B。 56题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文，第①段讲女儿送给作者一本新的地址簿，而作者还在用旧的地址簿；第②③④段主要讲旧的地址簿的意义；第⑤段讲为何不用手机记地址；⑥介绍旧的地址簿仍然好用，但新的地址本有新的可能，也将会使用。故选D。 D Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these “pay-for-knowledge” products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Almost everything you need can be found online at this moment. “Pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise (兴起). Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts who serve famous companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts. The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, this is a reflection (反映) of respect for knowledge and talents. However, the rapid rise of “pay-for-knowledge” has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be an Industry’s Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating (欣赏) Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves. In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true. 57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. “Pay-for-knowledge” products can help all the people succeed. B. “Pay-for-knowledge” products can offer people different kinds of courses. C. People who can teach themselves need “pay-for-knowledge” products most. D. People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities. 58. Which is NOT the reason for “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? A. The fast network and smartphone make it possible for people to get. B. People are afraid to miss any useful information. C. People need to learn new skills in today’s job market. D. People have to pay for educational podcasts or live videos. 59. The underlined phrase “be lucrative” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A. produce lots of money B. get much information C. win great respect D. enjoy self-growth 60. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.

It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状) of colds. There is one interesting thing to note - some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. 96.

During the summer holiday, we can work as volunteers at the community centre and take part in charity activities. Why not save our pocket money and donate it to those in need?

It’s wise of us to choose public transport because protecting the environment can help us live a green life.
