B A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son have been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements. Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11,000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.” “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.” 24. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 25. Which of the following is true about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 26. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and others’ work. C. Her well-paid job and her brother’s support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. 27. When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty. D. After attending green meetings C We have often heard that “work smart and not hard”. Does only smart work bring you success? And if so, then why are so many of us still busy putting our blood and sweat into working hard? Here, we’ll discuss hard work and smart work. Hard work is all about consistently working towards a particular goal irrespective (不考虑的) of its worth, not being worried about the result and not using any means to reduce your effort. Hard work requires a lot of commitment (投入) and sincerity from the person. Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. One of the preconditions of smart work is having in­depth knowledge or experience of the work in hand, because that allows you to look for efficient ways to do the work in a planned time. Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. Besides, it also gives you enough time to learn a new task while completing the present one. Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise (专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly. You will attain great heights and lead a better and comfortable life if you combine both smart and hard work together. If you are not smart, your hard work will never pay. A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly. The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference. 28. What can we learn about hard workers from Paragraph 2? A. They lack proper work skills. B. They always have great patience. C. They tend to ignore the goal of work. D. They can obtain excellent results from their work if they work with heart and soul. 29. How can smart workers save a lot of time? A. By making a sensible plan. B. By making use of innovative ways. C. By learning experience from others. D. By getting inspiration from a new task. 30. What does the author think of hard work? A. It is inspiring. B. It is ineffective. C. It is challenging. D. It is fundamental. 31. What does the example of donkey in Paragraph 5 intend to show? A. It is useless to work hard. B. It is necessary to work smartly. C. The efforts you make matter most. D. The horse is cleverer than the donkey. D Most people want to be successful, but never stop to think what it will really take to get there in their chosen field. If it means going back to college for 2 years of night school, could you do it ? If it means reading a book a week for about 6 months in order to really master a new skill ? If you aren’t prepared to do any of those things because they are outside of your comfort zone, then you can forget being successful. I guarantee you will never reach your goals in life, unless you  goals are to be ordinary. The biggest killer by far is the dreaded “ comfort zone ” where most people live in their entire life. And the funny thing is that people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that people who have reached some success get tons of time to just relax, but only because they’ve earned it ! If you haven’t built a successful business, or in some way built a career that allow you so much freee time, then you are stuck in the grinding world of nine-to-five jobs everyone else. So how comfortable is that ? So what can you do about it ? Well, find a way to make something happen in your life--- build a business around your favourite hobby, write a book and publish it, or take a course in stock trading and become an expert at that, working on making enough money to retire. If you don’t take massive action that puts your way of your comfort zone, you will never be successful at much of anything. I promise--- and I don’t make many promises ! Finding real happiness in life can be a mystery for many. That’s why I wrote The Road to Happiness for those who want real success and happiness in life, including spirituality and all the gifts life has to offer. Don’t wander aimlessly through life. Get focused on your goals, start helping others in need, and live life to the fullest ! Life is too short to be anything but happy. Visit my website and find what you’ve been missing.

A. a radio program B. a website C. a newspaper D. a TV program 33. If you want to be successful in life, what should you do first ? A. We should think what it really takes to be successful in our chosen field. B. We should focus our full attention on the work in our chosen field. C. We should live out of the “ comfort zone ” all through our life. D. We should work together with other people to reach our goals in time. 34. According to this text, why do some people have so much free time to relax ? A. Because they have enough money to do so. B. Because they don’t want to be successful. C. Because they have already earned it through hard work. D. Because they only work nine to five every day. 35. The writer thinks it necessary for you to __________ if you want to be successful. A. do a lot of actual wotk B. write a book and publish it C. take a course in stock trading D. make enough money to retire 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My mother is a diligent and kind woman.

Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town. But he had little money, so he rented a cheap house after he arrived. But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people. So he took up a job to sell cell phones. But his cell phones were not good in quality. One day, Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money. Luckily, there was still a phone in his pocket to sell. Soon enough, he spotted a target—a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket. Ming came up to him and smiled politely, saying, “Hey, friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked, “What’s up?” Ming said to him  immediately, “Friend, I have a phone. I bought it at 5,000 yuan. But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away. Ming stopped him and said, “What about 2,000 yuan?” the man shouted at him, “What do you want to do with me?” Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs, crying to him, “Oh, my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan, is it OK?” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man，after seeing this，felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket. Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away. After earning 1,000 yuan, Ming felt happy. As he felt hungry, he went to a small restaurant to have lunch. Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier. The cashier stared at the banknote (钞票) for quite a while, as if checking if it was a fake note (假币), and then said to Ming, “Sorry, I could not find the change for you for the moment. Please wait a minute.” Then he went away. Staying in the restaurant without anything to do, Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV. After all, his cheap-rented house had no TV.

A 【原文】I’d like to tell you about some of the ships I’ve discovered. Well, there’s nothing quite like finding the first old ship — it is 300 years old. It was just lying at the bottom of the sea, so it wasn’t difficult to find. Most are covered in sand and rocks — but this one isn’t. I’m actually a teacher, not a full-time diver — I dive in my free time but I often get to them before the professional divers, because I have good up-to-date equipment. Another thing that helps is talking to fishermen. I’ve even written a book about some of their experiences. At the moment, I’m looking for the gold from a ship called The Seabird. It was a well-built ship and it was coming from Australia on a winter night in 1859. Everything was going fine until the ship reached the English coast, when it crashed into some rocks in a very strong storm and sank to the bottom of the sea. Well, as diving is a dangerous hobby, it’s not a good idea to teach yourself. I’d advise anyone interested to do what I did. There are some excellent diving clubs like the one I joined, which run courses for beginners. It is best to do one of these before you go on a diving holiday. 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Summer reading Looking for a cool new book this season?

It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.” “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations.

Does only smart work bring you success? And if so, then why are so many of us still busy putting our blood and sweat into working hard? Here, we’ll discuss hard work and smart work. Hard work is all about consistently working towards a particular goal irrespective (不考虑的) of its worth, not being worried about the result and not using any means to reduce your effort. Hard work requires a lot of commitment (投入) and sincerity from the person. Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. One of the preconditions of smart work is having in­depth knowledge or experience of the work in hand, because that allows you to look for efficient ways to do the work in a planned time. Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. Besides, it also gives you enough time to learn a new task while completing the present one. Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise (专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly. You will attain great heights and lead a better and comfortable life if you combine both smart and hard work together. If you are not smart, your hard work will never pay. A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly. The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference. 28. What can we learn about hard workers from Paragraph 2? A. They lack proper work skills. B. They always have great patience. C. They tend to ignore the goal of work. D. They can obtain excellent results from their work if they work with heart and soul. 29. How can smart workers save a lot of time? A. By making a sensible plan. B. By making use of innovative ways. C. By learning experience from others. D. By getting inspiration from a new task. 30. What does the author think of hard work? A. It is inspiring. B. It is ineffective. C. It is challenging. D. It is fundamental. 31. What does the example of donkey in Paragraph 5 intend to show? A. It is useless to work hard. B. It is necessary to work smartly. C. The efforts you make matter most. D. The horse is cleverer than the donkey. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了勤奋地工作和聪明地工作的特点，并表示工作方式的改进需要将两者结合起来。 28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. (虽然它是无聊和令人厌倦的，但如果你全心全意地去做，它可以给你最好的结果。)”可知，勤奋的工作者如果全心全意地工作，他们可以获得好结果。故选D项。 29. 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. (作一个聪明的员工可以节省很多时间，因为你可以通过使用逻辑和创新的方法来实现你的目标，从而来减少你的工作)”可知，聪明工作的人可以通过创造性的方式节省大量的时间。故选B项。 30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise(专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly.(虽然聪明的工作似乎是一个更好的选择，但我们忘记了，聪明的工作是努力工作的成果。只有当你努力工作时，你才能收集到专业技能和知识来理解手头的工作，并有效地改进它，并聪明地工作。)”可推断，作者认为勤奋工作是根本。故选D项。 31. 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly.The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference.( 驴子只做艰苦的工作，而马做艰苦的工作，并随时随地使用它的聪明才智。同样，聪明的工作是努力工作的结果。要掌握智能工作的质量，你真的需要努力工作。通过努力工作，我们获得经验，这有助于我们发现新事物，使我们更聪明地工作。努力很重要，但在哪里努力是重要的)”可知，作者讲述驴子的例子是为说明聪明的工作是努力工作的结果，努力工作是重要的，但是知道在哪里努力也是重要的，因此推断这个例子是用说明聪明的工作是必要的。故选B。 D Most people want to be successful, but never stop to think what it will really take to get there in their chosen field. If it means going back to college for 2 years of night school, could you do it ? If it means reading a book a week for about 6 months in order to really master a new skill ? If you aren’t prepared to do any of those things because they are outside of your comfort zone, then you can forget being successful. I guarantee you will never reach your goals in life, unless you  goals are to be ordinary. The biggest killer by far is the dreaded “ comfort zone ” where most people live in their entire life. And the funny thing is that people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that people who have reached some success get tons of time to just relax, but only because they’ve earned it ! If you haven’t built a successful business, or in some way built a career that allow you so much freee time, then you are stuck in the grinding world of nine-to-five jobs everyone else. So how comfortable is that ? So what can you do about it ? Well, find a way to make something happen in your life--- build a business around your favourite hobby, write a book and publish it, or take a course in stock trading and become an expert at that, working on making enough money to retire. If you don’t take massive action that puts your way of your comfort zone, you will never be successful at much of anything. I promise--- and I don’t make many promises ! Finding real happiness in life can be a mystery for many. That’s why I wrote The Road to Happiness for those who want real success and happiness in life, including spirituality and all the gifts life has to offer. Don’t wander aimlessly through life. Get focused on your goals, start helping others in need, and live life to the fullest ! Life is too short to be anything but happy. Visit my website and find what you’ve been missing.

We should live out of the “ comfort zone ” all through our life. D. We should work together with other people to reach our goals in time. 34. According to this text, why do some people have so much free time to relax ? A. Because they have enough money to do so. B. Because they don’t want to be successful. C.

She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. 36 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us. My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 37 She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times. 38 Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high-quality clothes for us. 39 She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints. Often, she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is! 40 This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior.

G 【解析】本文为记叙文。本文介绍了妈妈的性格特点，作为老师她工作努力，作为妈妈她能够用心照顾家庭，教育孩子，给孩子树立良好的榜样。 36. 根据上文“My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.(我的妈妈是一个勤劳和善良的女人。 她从早到晚都很忙。 作为一名教师，她工作努力)”可知，上文提到作者的母亲作为老师非常的努力工作，可知接下来应该描述作为妈妈她的做法。故A选项“作为一个母亲，她照顾我们很好，给我们每一个安慰”符合语境，故选A。 37. 根据下句“She treats them with patience and teaches them well.(她耐心地对待他们，良好教导他们)”可知，她非常耐心的对待学生们教他们教的非常的好，可知本句是在说明她对待学生的情况，D选项中students对应后文them。故D选项“她爱她的学生，关心他们”符合语境，故选D。 38. 根据后文“Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high-quality clothes for us.(每天下班回家，她就开始做家务，打扫客厅和卧室，或者打扫家具，把一切都收拾得井井有条。她似乎一直很忙。由于她每天都忙于工作，她看起来比实际年龄要老一些。但她看起来和以前一样快乐。妈妈从不给自己买昂贵的衣服，但她经常给我们买一些价廉物美的衣服)”可知，后文主要列举了母亲回来就做很多的事情，非常勤奋，而且从不给自己买昂贵的衣服，说明母亲节俭不乱花钱。故E选项“我的母亲很勤劳，从不浪费钱”符合语境，故选E。 39. 根据下文“She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.(当她忙得没时间自己做饭的时候，她就在外面吃顿便饭。 她过着忙碌而简单的生活，没有任何怨言)”可知，妈妈她只在外面吃一些非常平常的饭菜，由此可推断出只吃一些很平常的饭菜，不到高档场所去消费。故C选项“她从不去昂贵的餐厅享受美食”符合语境，故选C。 40. 根据上文“Often, she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is! (她经常对我们说：“该工作时工作，该玩乐时玩乐。这才是快乐和快乐的方式。如果你不工作，你就会变得懒惰，对社会毫无用处。”这是一条多么好的建议啊！)”可知，作者认为妈妈这个建议非常好，所以永远都会记住，不会忘记的，G选项中it指代上文a piece of good advice。故G选项“我永远不会忘记它，总是记在心里”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn’t sure what he wanted from 41 , but something told him to 42 and begin a new adventure. He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US before going on to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He took my mother and us three daughters with him and went wherever the road 43 him. It’s easy to feel 44 when you’re on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip — most of them are mechanics, since we often 45 hours in repair shops. But that was a way much 46 than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool off when it was 40℃ outside. Getting along well sometimes seemed 47 . There were always a lot of 48 , especially among us back seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we learned a lot about tolerance (包容). When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been an hour’s drive but was nearly three thanks to bad roads and 49 traffic. “Did you put our suitcases in the car?” my father asked my mother as we arrived there. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. “No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven­hour car trip turned into a 16­hour one, which was mostly spent in vain (徒劳). On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were 50 in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the 51 . Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 52 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself. This is why road trips were like 53   universities to us. We 54 our PhDs (博士学位)  in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car. If we were 55 given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again.

Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town. But he had little money, so he rented a cheap house after he arrived. But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people. So he took up a job to sell cell phones. But his cell phones were not good in quality. One day, Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money. Luckily, there was still a phone in his pocket to sell. Soon enough, he spotted a target—a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket. Ming came up to him and smiled politely, saying, “Hey, friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked, “What’s up?” Ming said to him  immediately, “Friend, I have a phone. I bought it at 5,000 yuan. But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away. Ming stopped him and said, “What about 2,000 yuan?” the man shouted at him, “What do you want to do with me?” Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs, crying to him, “Oh, my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan, is it OK?” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man，after seeing this，felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket. Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away. After earning 1,000 yuan, Ming felt happy. As he felt hungry, he went to a small restaurant to have lunch. Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier. The cashier stared at the banknote (钞票) for quite a while, as if checking if it was a fake note (假币), and then said to Ming, “Sorry, I could not find the change for you for the moment. Please wait a minute.” Then he went away. Staying in the restaurant without anything to do, Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV. After all, his cheap-rented house had no TV.

The TV station also called on the public to call the police if they had any clues. All of a sudden, he heard police siren and, out of fear, he was about to run away immediately. But after a while, he thought that the police was not to catch him, so he stayed in the restaurant and pretended to know nothing. The police car stopped before the small restaurant and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming. Ming could hardly struggle. At this moment, the cashier showed up and said to the policemen, “Yes, it is he who uses fake notes!” Ming felt shocked, saying to himself, “The man cheated me of my phone with fake notes?” 【写作解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ming来到了一个风景优美的小镇，这个小镇有许多富人，Ming想在此地卖手机致富，但是因为手机质量差，所以没有赚到钱，有一天，他把一部手机卖给了一个男人，谁知这个男人使用的是假币，导致Ming被警察抓了。 【要点分析】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“电视正在播放一条新闻”可知，第一段可描写新闻的具体内容以及收银员报警，警察的到来。 ②由第二段首句内容“警车停在小餐馆前”可知，第二段可描写警察到来逮捕了Ming，他发现自己被骗了。 2. 续写线索：来到小镇——卖手机——看到一个男人——以1000元把手机卖给他——去餐馆吃东西——使用假币——收银员报警——Ming被抓——发现自己被骗。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①呼吁：call on/appeal to ②跑掉：run away/run off ③逮捕：arrest/apprehend 情绪类 ①警觉：mindful/alert ②震惊：shocked/amazed [高分句型1]The TV was broadcasting a piece of news that a gang of criminals using fake notes had come to the town and reminded the citizens to be mindful about it.(that引导的同位语从句) [高分句型2]Yes, it is he who uses fake notes!(it is....who...强调句型) 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
