In my twelve-year-old sleepiness, I staggered through the dark hallway into the bedroom, hearing the truck’s engine idling (空转) outside. Staring out, I saw his figure — a dark shadow moving against the white background — his breath clouding the air when he breathed. I heard his work boots crunching the hard snow with his giant steps. I saw his dark face hidden beneath a knit cap, the upturned coat collar, the woolen scarf wrapped around his neck and chin. One gloved hand guided the ice scraper (刮削器) across the truck’s windshield. The other brushed the shavings like a crystal bear d from the truck’s old weathered face. That was my daddy. Driven by a commitment and responsibility, he was taught to move with a quick purpose during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Daddy was like a silent gladiator (角斗士) who was stepping once more into the day’s battlefield. Daddy was always awake while the rest of the world slept. And as he slid behind the steering wheel, driving carefully from the driveway onto the street, the truck was swallowed up by dawn’s dimness. As I returned to the warmth of my blankets — in my own bed, in my own room, I knew I could go back to sleep, to dream, because daddy was outside facing the cold. Throughout many junior and senior high mornings, I watched my father go to work. I never told him how that vision affected me. When I reached my early thirties and I became a father myself, I saw my own father with greater clarity. As I awoke in the early morning hours, compromised my wants, dealt with insults and worked overtime in order to give my son his own room — with his own bed and his own dreams, I realized I was able to do those things because my father had done them for me. 4. What was his father doing when the writer looked out of the window? A. He repaired his old weathered truck. B. He got rid of the ice on the truck. C. He moved with a quick purpose. D. He started the truck’s engine. 5. Which of the following best describes the writer’s father? A. Tolerant. B. Responsible. C. Ambitious. D. Considerate. 6. What did the writer realize when he reached his thirties? A. The tricks of dealing with insults. B. The importance of owning a house. C. The duty of being a father. D. The benefit of waking up early. 7. Where is the text probably from? A. A brochure. B. A poster. C. A book review. D. A biography. C Downing Street will receive a special delivery from postmasters this afternoon, the country’s biggest ever petition(请愿书) in modern times, Four million people have backed a campaign, urging the government to save Britain’s post offices. More than four thousand post offices have closed since 1999 for financial reasons; the rest are losing up to a quarter of a billion pounds a year. The Saint Levan Valley Post Office near Plymouth faces closure. It is one of thousands that are not commercially practical and cost taxpayers over a hundred and fifty million pounds a year in subsidies. And yet the customers here don’t care if the post office makes money they say it’s a social lifeline for the community. “We’ve had people moved to tears here at the very thought of losing their post office. It s such a vital part of the community.” That’s why hundreds of postmasters have arrived in London this morning to remonstrate with what they call a death by a thousand cuts. The government has removed so many services from branches that many would be forced to close. This afternoon they’ll hand in a petition signed by four million people which they hope would preempt (先发制人) any government announcement on cuts. And at the top of the list of complaints: the planned withdrawal of the Post Office card account, used by millions to access pensions and benefits. There are many, many people who still want, and who budget on being able to get their money from their pension and other benefits each week in cash at post office, and that is the bottom line. This industry wants reform and modernization, but not the ill-planned destruction of the network. “They have to be practical. What we wanna do is make sure that they can be practical. So in the same way as a pub used to be tied to one brewery, we want to free up post offices to have lots of products, so they can have a much better income flow, and therefore, stay open.” 8. Why has the government closed so many post offices? A. The post offices fail to make a profit. B. The government is forced to do so by the public. C. The government decides to make it more commercial. D. The post offices are of no use because of the Internet. 9. What does the underlined words “remonstrate with” mean in paragraph 3? A. Negotiate with. B. Vote for. C. Stand by. D. Protest against. 10. What is probably the key service of the post offices for common people? A. To post letters. B. To withdraw pensions. C. To strengthen community bonds. D. To protest against ill-planned cuts. 11. Why is “a pub” mentioned in the last paragraph’? A. To predict the future of post offices. B. To indicate the success of pub business. C. To suggest a realistic way to keep post offices open. D. To explain the connection between pubs and post offices. D Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 12. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild? A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers. C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night. 13. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk? A. To attack back. B. To get away. C. To protect the young. D. To play dead. 14. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape. C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Owning a pet is a fun and rewarding experience.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了英国政府大量关闭邮局，引起了社会反弹，以及提出解决的办法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“More than four thousand post offices have closed since 1999 for financial reasons; the rest are losing up to a quarter of a billion pounds a year.（自1999年以来，已有4000多家邮局因财政原因关闭；其余的每年损失高达25亿英镑）”可知，英国政府关闭这么多邮局是因为邮局没有盈利。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“We’ve had people moved to tears here at the very thought of losing their post office. It s such a vital part of the community.（我们这里的人们一想到要失去他们的邮局就热泪盈眶。这是社区的重要组成部分）”以及第四段“This afternoon they’ll hand in a petition signed by four million people which they hope would preempt any government announcement on cuts.（今天下午，他们将递交一份由400万人签署的请愿书，他们希望这份请愿书能够优先于任何政府宣布的削减开支）”可知，很多英国人不想关闭邮局，所以可推知数百名邮政局长是去伦敦抗议的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“And at the top of the list of complaints: the planned withdrawal of the Post Office card account, used by millions to access pensions and benefits. There are many, many people who still want, and who budget on being able to get their money from their pension and other benefits each week in cash at post office, and that is the bottom line.（排在投诉名单前列的是，数百万人用于领取养老金和福利的邮局卡账户的计划取款。还有很多很多人仍然想要，他们每周都会在邮局以现金形式从养老金和其他福利中获得资金，这就是底线）”可知，邮局为老百姓提供的主要服务可能是提取养老金。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“So in the same way as a pub used to be tied to one brewery, we want to free up post offices to have lots of products, so they can have a much better income flow, and therefore, stay open.（因此，就像酒吧过去被捆绑在一家啤酒厂上一样，我们希望解放邮局，让它们拥有更多的产品，这样它们就可以有更好的收入流，从而继续营业）”可知，最后一段提到“a pub”的原因是用酒吧举例，提出一个切实可行的办法让邮局继续营业。故选C项。 D Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 12. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild? A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers. C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night. 13. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk? A. To attack back. B. To get away. C. To protect the young. D. To play dead. 14 Why would a balloon frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape. C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鹦鹉作为被捕食动物的行为特性和生存策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators.(群体中的成员在确保其安全和提高其从捕食者袭击中幸存下来的机会方面起着重要作用。)”可知，鹦鹉要想更好地在野外躲避攻击，重要的是要进行集体生活，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.(作为猎物，鹦鹉会时刻警惕危险，并本能地对风险做出反应。他们的第一反应是飞走)”可知，鹦鹉对直接风险的第一反应是逃跑，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind.(因为它们最大的敌人是鹰，鹦鹉对来自上方和后方的快速移动特别敏感。)” 和下文“This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason.Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(这是一种不受逻辑或理性约束的内在反应。简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”可知，气球能够吓到鹦鹉是因为气球可能移动速度快，让使鹦鹉联想到鹰，故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物，这意味着野生的其他捕食者，如鹰或蛇，正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物，鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化，以建立灵活性并提高它们的适应性，这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活，更适应变化)”可知，本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议，故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Owning a pet is a fun and rewarding experience.

You should set aside some time to________ (反思) your successes and failures. （根据汉语提示完成句子） 【答案】reflect on 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你应该留出时间去反思你的成功和失败。根据句子结构可知，设空处应该填写动词短语与空前的to构成不定式作状语。reflect on为动词短语，意为“反思”，符合句意。故填写reflect on。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15 分) 56. 你校在上周六组织师生徒步去国家森林公园 (National Forest Park)进行班级团建活动， 请你为校英语报写一篇英文短文，记叙此次活动。 内容包括： 1. 活动时间、地点及目的；2. 活动内容； 3. 你的感想。 注意：1. 写作词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With the purpose of cultivating our team spirit, our school organized some teachers and students to go hiking in the National Forest Park last Saturday.

As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father. Suddenly Brandon was aware he forgot to close the door of the barn (牲口棚). He told the boys to wait for him at the gate and returned to lock it. When he was at the gate minutes later, he saw only his youngest son. “ Where’s Louie? ” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Everett said. Brandon quickly realized what had happened. Noooo, he thought. Louie can barely swim! He ran to the well and heard Louie splashing, trying not to . Instinctively, he jumped in. Somehow Brandon managed to grab on to a pipe that ran down the side of the well, which slowed his fall and kept him from crushing (挤压) his son. Finally, Brandon hit the freezing water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat in water that was too deep for either of them to stand. Knowing they could tread (踩水) for only so long, Brandon lifted his son onto his chest as he packed his own back against the narrow walls for support. “All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said. If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery to be of any use. There was only one way out. Looking up to see Everett peering down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help. ” Everett did as he was told. He stood alone by the side of the road, waving to stop someone. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a while, Chris and Mark, nearby farmers, were driving by the farm. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty minutes later, Louie emerged (出现), then Brandon, both cold and wet. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】paragraph 1： After a while, Chris and Mark, nearby farmers, were driving by the farm.
