Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard.

It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.

The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞). Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC． We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power. The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 13．Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________. A．a symbol of honor B．protection against the sun C．a symbol of power D．protection against the rain 14．According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ________. A．Egypt B．Babylon C．Rome D．China 15．The underlined word “royal” might mean “________” in Chinese. A．王室的 B．富裕的 C．中产的 D．平民的 16．This passage is mainly about ________. A．the sales of the umbrella B．the differences among umbrellas C．the invention of the umbrella D．the history and use of the umbrella 【答案】13．B 14．D 15．A 16．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了雨伞的发明史及用途。 13．细节理解题。根据“But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞).”可知，古代人们首次使用伞是为了遮挡太阳。故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据“Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC.”可知，古代中国可能是最早使用伞的。故选D。 15．词句猜测题。根据“such as kings or queens.”可知，国王、王后属于王室成员。所以royal的意思是“王室的”，故选A。 16．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了雨伞的发明史及用途，故选D。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Have you had a headache during a test？Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night？If so，then you know what stress is. 17 This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry，sad， scared， or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache. However，there are different kinds of stress.Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 18 For example，you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test. On the other hand，bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you are having problems at school，or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. 19 And it can actually make you sick. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 20 If you get enough sleep and eat properly，and if you exercise and leave time for fun，you’ll probably feel less stressed. A．No one can work well under the stress. B．That kind of stress isn't going to help you C．This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. D．Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. E．Make sure you keep yourself in mind: sleep，exercise and food. 【答案】17．D 18．C 19．B 20．E 【分析】本文介绍了压力的定义，压力的种类以及抵抗压力的方法。 17．根据空格后This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry，sad， scared， or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.可知，此处表示压力就是你担忧某事的感觉。故选D。 18．根据For example，you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.可知，此处表示这种压力能让你把事情做得更好，故选C。 19．根据And it can actually make you sick.可知，它会让你生病，因此表示这种压力对你没有帮助，故选B。 20．根据If you get enough sleep and eat properly，and if you exercise and leave time for fun，you’ll probably feel less stressed.可知，抵抗压力的方法就是充足的睡觉，正确的饮食和锻炼。故选E。 二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D匹四个选项中出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Once upon a time，some children were playing at seaside when they found a turtle（海龟）．They began to beat the turtle．Just at that time，a young man came and said to them，"Stop!"The children ran 21 quickly．The turtle was very thankful and said，"Thanks for your kindness．I really would like 22 you to a wonderful palace now．" The young man rode on the back of the turtle and was taken to the secret palace in the sea．When he 23 the palace，he was very surprised and said to the turtle，"What a nice palace!"To thank him，the king of the turtles gave him 24 ．He had never seen such a dinner before．He received a warm welcome there and was very 25 everything． After dinner，the king of the turtles said，"I am going to give you two boxes， 26 you can open only one．""You mustn't open both．Don't forget it!"the turtle warned him．"All right．I will open only one，"the young man promised（许诺）．At this time，a large wave sent him out of the sea． After he 27 ，he opened the bigger one of the two boxes． 28 the box was full of gold．"My God!"he cried．"I'm 29 now．"Then he thought，"Things in the other box must be expensive，too．"He could not wait any longer．He broke his promise and opened the other box．As soon as he opened it，he became an old man．His hair turned white．His face 30 an old man over eighty years old．It all happened in a moment．He was sorry for what he did，but it was too late． 21．A．through B．away C．into D．out 22．A．wanting B．asking C．to let D．to invite 23．A．left for B．arrived on C．arrived at D．got away 24．A．a very big dinner B．a very poor dinner C．a very bad dinner D．a very small dinner 25．A．pleased with B．strict in C．angry with D．sorry for 26．A．so B．or C．but D．as 27．A．went back to home B．was back home C．went back to the sea D．was back the sea 28．A．To his surprising B．To one's surprising C．To one's surprise D．To his surprise 29．A．a poor man B．a rich man C．an old man D．a young man 30．A．liked B．felt like C．looked like D．looked 【答案】 21．B 22．D 23．C 24．A 25．A 26．C 27．B 28．D 29．B 30．C 【解析】本文是一篇诚信故事，讲述了一个年轻人无意中救了一只龟，为了报答，那只龟把年轻人带到海底宫殿，给了他两个盒子，叮嘱年轻人只能打开一个。回到家，年轻人打开了较大的一个，得到很多金子。可是他经不住诱惑，终于打开了第二个盒子，没想到立即变成了八十多岁的老人。年轻人为自己的失信付出了青春的代价。 21．句意：孩子们很快就跑了。 考查副词辨析题。A. through通过；B. away离开；C. into进入；D. out出来。run away逃跑/走掉。根据句意和上下文，可知ACD三项的与句意不符，故选B。 22．句意：我真的很想邀请你去一个很棒的宫殿。 考查动词形式辨析题。would like to do sth.想要/乐意做某事；invite sb. to+地点，邀请某人去某地。like后接不定式，可排除AB两项；根据句意结构，可知选D。 23．句意：当他到达宫殿时，他非常惊讶。 考查动词短语辨析题。A. left for离开去某地；B. arrived on到达，on后接时间/日期；C. arrived at到达某地；D. got away逃离。根据句意和上下文，可知选C。 24．句意：为了感谢他，海龟国王给了他一顿丰盛的晚餐。 考查形容词短语辨析题。A. a very big dinner丰盛的晚餐；B. a very poor dinner非常糟糕的晚餐；C. a very bad dinner非常糟糕的晚餐；D. a very small dinner非常小的晚餐。to thank him为了感谢他；根据句意和语境，可知选A。 25．句意：他在那里受到热烈欢迎，对一切都很满意。 考查形容词短语辨析题。be pleased with对……喜欢/满意；be strict in对……严格；be. angry with对……生气；be sorry for为……而抱歉。a warm welcome热烈欢迎；根据句意和上下文，可知选A。 26．句意：我要给你两个盒子，但是你只能打开一个。 考查连词辨析题。A. so所以，表因果；B. or或者，表选择；C. but但是，表转折；D. as由于，表原因。根据句意和上下文提示，本句是转折关系，故选C。 27．句意：回到家后，他打开了两个盒子中较大的一个。 考查固定短语辨析。回到家，有两种表达：go back home和be back home，这里的home是副词，前面不可加介词to。根据句意，结合短语结构，可知选B。 28．句意：使他惊奇的是盒子里装满了金子。 考查形容词短语辨析题。to one’s surprise让某人惊奇的是，本句是那个年轻人惊奇，需用his。根据句意和语境，可知选D。 29．句意：我现在是个有钱人了。 考查形容词短语辨析题。A. a poor man穷人；B. a rich man富人；C. an old man老人；D. a young man年轻人。根据句意和语境，结合上文the box was full of gold.，可知选B。 30．句意：他的脸看起来像一个八十岁以上的老人。 考查系词辨析题。A. liked喜欢，动词/像，介词；B. felt like感觉像；C. looked like看着像；D. looked看起来。look like看起来像，固定表达。根据句意和语境，可知选C。 第二部分非选择题(共40分) 三、语法填空(共10小题，每小题1分; 满分10分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 It was Friday afternoon.

Perhaps some of you will say “no”. In fact, being a teenager is hard. You may worry about a lot of things in your life. Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? You can find the answer from the chart below. The research was done by the UK's Department of Health among more than 100，000 teenagers. Here are the results. Many Chinese teenagers share similar worries with the British teenagers. A recent research shows that many Chinese teenagers suffer from social life, study and emotional problems. To solve the problems, some schools came up with the idea of happiness education. For example, Tsinghua University High School tried to meet students' needs. It built a skating rink and different laboratories to develop their interest. While schools take action, students themselves can do something, too. The professor Nadia Lovett from Australia believes students' habits, hobbies and attitude toward life all play a role in their happiness. 41．What percent of British teenagers worry about smoking ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．How did Tsinghua University High School meet students' needs ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43．According to Nadia Lovett, what influences students' happiness ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 44．What can you do to make yourself happier in your life ?

It built a skating rink and different laboratories to develop their interest.可知，清华大学为了满足学生的需求，建造了一个溜冰场和不同的实验室来发展他们的兴趣。由此可知答案。 43．根据短文最后一句话The professor Nadia Lovett from Australia believes students' habits, hobbies and attitude toward life all play a role in their happiness.可知，Nadia教授认为学生们的习惯、爱好和生活态度都会影响他们的幸福感。由此可知答案为Students’ habits, hobbies and attitude toward life。 44．主观发挥题，答案不唯一。 五、书面表达 45.假如你是李明，你的英国笔友Jack对中国传统文化很感兴趣，写信向你询问端午节的有关情况。请你根据以下提示给他回信。 提示： 1. 中国的传统节日之一，已有2000多年的历史； 2. 为了纪念著名诗人屈原 (honor the great poet)； 3. 中国南方有赛龙舟的习俗； 4. 家人团聚吃粽子和其他美食； 5. 有三天假期，可以外出旅游。 要求： 1. 词数90左右(开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数)； 2. 根据要点提示，可以适当发挥； 3. 文中不得出现真实的姓名及校名。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Dear Jack, How’s it going?

During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation. 5．The writer used to hate his mother because ________.

It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well. It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts. There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them. World Smile Day encourages you to do something to bring smiles into the world.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞). Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC． We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power. The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 13．Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________.

You may feel angry，sad， scared， or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache. However，there are different kinds of stress.Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 18 For example，you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test. On the other hand，bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you are having problems at school，or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. 19 And it can actually make you sick. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 20 If you get enough sleep and eat properly，and if you exercise and leave time for fun，you’ll probably feel less stressed. A．No one can work well under the stress. B．That kind of stress isn't going to help you C．This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.

Laura asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day 35 holiday?” “Yes, Laura, it is,” 36 (reply) her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you realize why Labor Day was celebrated in the beginning.” Laura disliked the plan, but she had no choice.

Perhaps some of you will say “no”. In fact, being a teenager is hard. You may worry about a lot of things in your life. Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? You can find the answer from the chart below. The research was done by the UK's Department of Health among more than 100，000 teenagers. Here are the results. Many Chinese teenagers share similar worries with the British teenagers. A recent research shows that many Chinese teenagers suffer from social life, study and emotional problems. To solve the problems, some schools came up with the idea of happiness education. For example, Tsinghua University High School tried to meet students' needs. It built a skating rink and different laboratories to develop their interest. While schools take action, students themselves can do something, too. The professor Nadia Lovett from Australia believes students' habits, hobbies and attitude toward life all play a role in their happiness. 41．What percent of British teenagers worry about smoking ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．How did Tsinghua University High School meet students' needs ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43．According to Nadia Lovett, what influences students' happiness ? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 44．What can you do to make yourself happier in your life ?
