The Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and the Hearst Castle are common great tourist sites. But if you prefer offbeat places,check out the following roadside attractions. World’s Largest Ball of Paint Alexandria, Ind. In 1977, Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest ball of paint anywhere. Starting with a baseball as the centre, he painted coat after coat of paint day after day, year after year. The ball weighs more than l ,300 pounds,with more than 20,000 coats of paint, which is recognised by Guinness World Records. Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history. The Museum of Dirt Boston, Mass. The museum is the idea of Glenn Johnson. In the glass bottles are such treasures as dirt from the Great Wall of China, as well as sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Best of all, the cost of seeing this museum is dirt cheap: It’s free. Mount Horeb Mustard Museum Mount Horeb, Wis. It’s heaven for hot dog lovers! This museum says that it has to have the world’s largest collection of prepared mustard (芥末). It’s more than 4100 bottles of spices (香料) come from 60 nations, including Turkey and China.Visitors learn the history of mustard, from how it’s made to how it’s advertised and sold. The museum’s creator, Barry Levenson, loves mustard so much that he even puts it on ice cream! Paper House Rock port, Mass, Elis Stenman was much ahead of his time in 1922, when he started to build a two-room house almost completely out of newspaper. At the time, people didn’t give much - if any - thought to recycling (回收利用) paper.In fact, “recycling” wasn’t even a word then. The house is framed (以......做框架) with wood, but the walls are made of newspaper only. In all, he used about 100,000 newspapers. 1. What can the underlined word “offbeat” in the first paragraph best be replaced by? A. perfect. B. quiet. C. public. D. unusual. 2. Which of the following can provide hands-on experience? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了几个小而别致的旅游景点。 【1题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“The Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and the Hearst Castle are common great tourist sites.”（自由女神像、金门大桥和赫斯特城堡是常见的著名旅游景点。）提到常见的著名旅游景点，以及下文的But转折可知，可推知，划线单词句子应表示但如果你喜欢另类的地方，看看下面的路边景点。故可猜测划线单词offbeat为“另类的，不寻常的”意思，结合选项D项unusual“不寻常的”意思一致。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据World’s Largest Ball of Paint中“Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history.”（游客们可以自己给球上色，成为历史的一部分。）可知，游客参观World’s Largest Ball of Paint时，可以自己动手参与涂漆。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Museum of Dirt中“Best of all, the cost of seeing this museum is dirt cheap: It’s free.”（最重要的是，参观这座博物馆的费用非常便宜：完全免费。）可知， 我们能从文章中了解到参观The Museum of Dirt是免费的。故选C项。ABD选项均与原文内容不符。故选C项。 B The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an annoying situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly things that happen to our everyday life when someone falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes of people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents (口音), the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The famous Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the role played by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world wouldn’t do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. As a result, British sense of humour has become well known to many people. 4. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes? A. British jokes cover too many cultures. B. Foreigners cannot speak English fluently. C. The British seldom fully express how they really feel. D. British jokes are not as funny as those in other countries. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Humour in British daily life be. B. The kinds of British humour. C. Explanation of understatement. D. The purpose of understatement. 6. How does Mr Bean make people laugh? A. By telling funny stories. B. By making fun of himself. C. By copying others’ behaviour D. By using body movements and facial expressions. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Humour Across Cultures B. Developing a Sense of Humour C. British Humour in Comedies D. Understanding British Humour 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要介绍了理解英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写和喜欢开自己和他人的玩笑。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.(然而，外国人往往很难理解他们的笑话。要记住的一点是，英国人经常使用轻描淡写)”和第二段中的“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.(轻描淡写意味着说得比你想的或感觉的要少)”可知外国人很难理解英国的笑话是因为英国人经常使用轻描淡写（即说得比你想的或感觉的要少），说明英国人很少充分表达他们的真实感受。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an annoying situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. (轻描淡写的意思是说得比你想的或感觉的少。例如，如果某人在阵雨中被淋湿了，他可能会说：“外面有点潮湿。”或者，如果某人非常不礼貌，对另一个人大喊大叫，其他人可能会说，“她不是很友好。”轻描淡写通常用于令人恼火的情况下，或者让别人看起来很傻。轻描淡写在英式幽默中起着重要作用。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是轻描淡写的解释。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.(憨豆先生不常说话，而是用他的身体动作和面部表情来逗人发笑)”可知憨豆先生通过身体动作和面部表情让人发笑。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.(英国人以幽默感著称。然而，外国人往往很难理解他们的笑话。要记住的重点是，英国人经常使用轻描淡写)”结合文章介绍了解英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写和英国人喜欢取笑自己，也喜欢取笑别人，旨在帮助读者更好地了解英国人的幽默。故D项“了解英国幽默”为文章最佳标题。故选D。 C Clara packed her things at the office and went to her boss, “It’s been a pleasure working with you, but I’m leaving my job,” she turned and left. “Why do you get home so early?” asked her sister Sally. “The Civil War is taking its toll on the Union soldiers. I need to help them.” Sally looked around the room. “I’m going with you.” The two volunteered at a hospital where soldiers received treatment. After several months, Clara became worried. “Sally, this isn’t enough. I need to help the soldiers in the field and on the front lines. I’m leaving in the morning.” Sally looked surprised. “Clara! You can’t. It’s too dangerous!” “The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger.” Clara got donations (捐赠物) from wherever she could and used her own savings to buy things that soldiers need. She also organized men to give help, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded. Months later, Clara finally made it to the front line. The wounded soldiers were so thankful for what she had done; they even named her the Angel of the Battlefield. After the Civil War ended, Clara went to Europe to rest her body and mind. So many years of helping soldiers and their families had worn her down. While visiting Switzerland, Clara learned of the Intentional Red Cross. Its aim of helping war victims (受害者) around the world created interest and excitement in Clara . It also encouraged an idea. When she returned home, Clara worked to start an American Red Cross. She even met with President Hayes to discuss it. Finally, on 21 May 1881, the American Red Cross was formed. A month later, Clara was made president of the organization. 8. What does the underlined phrase “taking its toll on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Calling for. B. Taking control of. C. Having a bad effect on. D. Making an impression on. 9. How did Clara help the soldiers during the Civil War? A. By giving medical care to soldiers. B. By starting the American Red Cross. C. By sending supplies to the front line. D. By encouraging people to join the army. 10. Which of the following can best describe Clara? A. Kind and smart. B. Honest and thankful. C. Strict and narrow- minded. D. Brave and warm-hearted. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe how cruel the Civil War was. B. To tell how the International Red Cross was formed. C. To explain the role that women played in the war. D. To introduce an important woman in American history. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名勇敢的女性Clara Barton在内战时帮助受伤的士兵，最后还建立了美国红十字会的故事。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“I need to help them.(我需要帮助他们)”以及第六段“The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger.(需要帮助的前线士兵处境更危险)”可知，内战给联邦士兵带来了巨大损失，即故“taking its toll on”指“对……造成坏影响”，与have a bad effect on同义。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“Clara got donations (捐赠物) from wherever she could and used her own savings to buy things that soldiers need. She also organized men to give help, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded.(克拉拉从她能得到的任何地方得到捐款，并用她自己的积蓄购买士兵们需要的东西。她还组织男人帮忙，挑水，为伤员准备食物)”可知，内战期间，克拉拉通过向前线发送物资来帮助士兵。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Sally looked surprised. “Clara! You can’t. It’s too dangerous!”(莎莉看起来很惊讶。“克拉拉！你不能去。太危险了!”)”以及第六段“The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger.(需要帮助的前线士兵处境更危险)”可知Clara不顾危险，要前往前线帮助士兵，说明她是个勇敢的人；根据第七段“Clara got donations (捐赠物) from wherever she could and used her own savings to buy things that soldiers need. She also organized men to give help, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded.(克拉拉从她能得到的任何地方得到捐款，并用她自己的积蓄购买士兵们需要的东西。她还组织男人帮忙，挑水，为伤员准备食物)”可推知，Clara是个热心肠的人。综上，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While visiting Switzerland, Clara learned of the Intentional Red Cross. Its aim of helping war victims (受害者) around the world created interest and excitement in Clara . It also encouraged an idea. When she returned home, Clara worked to start an American Red Cross. She even met with President Hayes to discuss it. Finally, on 21 May 1881, the American Red Cross was formed. A month later, Clara was made president of the organization.(在访问瑞士期间，克拉拉了解到国际红十字会。它帮助世界各地的战争受害者的目标引起了克拉拉的兴趣和兴奋。它还鼓励了一个想法。当她回到家后，克拉拉努力创办了一个美国红十字会。她甚至与海斯总统会面讨论此事。最后，在1881年5月21日，美国红十字会成立了。一个月后，克拉拉被任命为该组织的主席)”结合文章讲述了Clara Barton是一名勇敢的女性，她在内战时帮助受伤的士兵，最后还建立了美国红十字会。由此推知，这篇文章的主要内容是介绍美国历史上一位重要的女性。故选D。 D Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person. People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapes that limit (限制) blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair colour or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort on changing what they look like? If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours in choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person. 12. What is the author’s attitude to people’s putting fashion above health? A. Curious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The fashion industry is strong. B. Beauty products are harmful to health. C. People try very hard to be fashionable. D. Both women and men search for beauty. 14. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend? A. Going skiing with friends. B. Starting a new diet with a friend. C. Changing hairstyles every week. D. Shopping for fashionable clothes. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the latest fashion trends. B. To tell readers how to remain fashionable. C To advise readers to value health over fashion. D. To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就时尚和舒适展开讨论，劝说读者时尚远不如健康和舒适更重要，并且提出了健康生活方式的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚不是一切。做一个健康善良的人更重要)”可知，作者对人们把时尚置于健康之上的态度是不支持的。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段主要内容以及“People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. (人们不遗余力地追求时尚。有些人认为他们必须有某种体型，所以他们采取极端的、不健康的饮食来改变他们的身体。)”可知，本段主要介绍了人们非常努力地追求时尚。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.(与其严格控制饮食，强迫自己保持饥饿，为什么不吃一些健康的食物，然后锻炼呢?通过做这些事情，你可以保持健康的生活方式，真正成长为一个人)”可知，与花费时间精力以及牺牲健康而换取时尚相比，作者认为应该吃健康食物，和朋友一起锻炼身体。由此推知，作者可能推荐和朋友一起去滑雪这项活动。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚不是一切。做一个健康善良的人更重要)”以及第三段“Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place.(时尚不应该是第一位的。人们应该把健康和正面形象放在首位)”可知，本文指出时尚远不如健康和舒适更重要。由此推知，作者写作本文的目的是劝说读者重视健康胜过重视时尚。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分 12. 5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives.

Mistakes are part of learning.(接受你会犯错的事实，因为每个人都会犯错。错误是学习的一部分。)”可知，本段主要讲的是错误是学习的一部分，B选项“View mistakes as chances to learn.(把错误看作是学习的机会。)”说明了要把错误看作是学习的机会，因此概括了本段主要内容，可作为主题句，故选B。 【18题详解】 空前“If you’re used to focusing on your weaknesses, start thinking about positive sides of yourself.(如果你习惯于关注自己的缺点，那就开始思考自己积极的一面。)”说明了要考虑自己积极的一面，空格处应该说如何考虑自己积极的一面，F选项“Each day, write down three things about yourself that make you happy.(每天写下三件让你快乐的事情。)”中的让人快乐的事情就是积极的一面，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，由空后“If you realize that you’re unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, then start today.

Flight BA030 to Boston leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man stepped into the airport restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee. He noticed that there were two beautiful young women next to him. The black- haired one was wearing a brown coat and carried a heavy black bag. The other was a blonde (金发女子) in a white coat. They were in deep conversation, but soon separated. He saw the black- haired woman again when he was buying a magazine and soon realized that someone was pushing him. After he found out who it was, he gave her a little smile. “Busy place,” he said. The woman looked up at him and a strange expression crossed her face and soon disappeared. She moved away from him and joined the crowds (人群) in the airport. The man was at the counter (柜台) with his magazine but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the pocket was empty. Where could I have lost it? He thought. The black- haired woman was so near to me. All at once he understood that she had picked his pocket. What was he to do? He would have to do something about the lost credit cards — call home, have his wife get the numbers out of the top desk drawer, phone the card companies — so difficult a process. When he decided to find a policeman, he was shocked to see the black- haired woman again. She was seated against a front window, reading a book. A seat beside her was empty, and the man sat on it. “I’ve been looking for you,” he said. She raised her head and looked at him, “I don’t know you.” “Sure you do. You stole my wallet,” he said. “Excuse me?” the woman said. “I knew you did — at the magazine counter. If you give it back, I can forget the whole thing. If you don’t, then I’ll hand you over to the police.” “All right,” she said. She pulled the black bag onto her leg, and took out a wallet from it. He took it from her. “Wait a minute,” he said, “This isn’t mine.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 All of a sudden, the woman stood and ran away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As he was about to catch the black- haired woman, something unexpected happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 All of a sudden, the woman stood and ran away. So the man ran after her, holding the wallet which was not his. Just a moment later, he heard a woman’s voice behind him, “Stop, thief! Stop that man!” He turned around and gave quick glance. It was just the blonde in a cloth coat. She was running closely after him with a policeman. “That’s him,” the blonde said to the policeman in excitement,  “He stole my wallet.” At this time, the man also came to the woman. As he was about to catch the black-haired woman, something unexpected happened. A young traveler put out his foot and the black-haired woman fell down. Her black bag was thrown on the ground and several wallets came from it. The man recognized his wallet at once. Seeing this, the two women had no choice but to tell the whole thing. After they were taken by the policeman, the man heard an announcement, “...Flight B 4030 to Boston is now boarding at Gate No. 25...” So he rushed to Gate 25. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在机场，一名男子走进机场餐厅，点了一杯咖啡，他注意到他旁边有两个漂亮的年轻女子。黑头发的那个穿着一件棕色外套，提着一个沉重的黑色袋子。另一个是穿白大褂的金发女子。黑发女子偷了他的钱包，还反说男子是小偷，正在他追赶女子的时候，黑头发女子被人绊倒了，掉出了很多钱包，证明了女子是小偷，女子最终被警察带走。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，那个女人站起来跑开了”可知，第一段可描写女子逃跑并且说男子是小偷，还告诉了警察。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当他要抓住那个黑头发的女人时，意外的事情发生了”可知，第二段可描写女子被意外绊倒，掉出了许多偷来的钱包，最终被警察带走。 2.续写线索：女人逃跑——说男子是小偷——告诉警察——女人被绊倒——掉出钱包——女人被警察带走——赶上飞机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着：hold/take ②认出：recognize/identify ③看到：see/spot ④急忙：rush to/hurry to ⑤紧紧跟着：closely/at one’s heels 情绪类： ①意外：unexpected/surprising ②激动：in excitement/with agitation 【点睛】[高分句型1] So the man ran after her, holding the wallet which was not his.

The Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and the Hearst Castle are common great tourist sites. But if you prefer offbeat places,check out the following roadside attractions. World’s Largest Ball of Paint Alexandria, Ind. In 1977, Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest ball of paint anywhere. Starting with a baseball as the centre, he painted coat after coat of paint day after day, year after year. The ball weighs more than l ,300 pounds,with more than 20,000 coats of paint, which is recognised by Guinness World Records. Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history. The Museum of Dirt Boston, Mass. The museum is the idea of Glenn Johnson. In the glass bottles are such treasures as dirt from the Great Wall of China, as well as sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Best of all, the cost of seeing this museum is dirt cheap: It’s free. Mount Horeb Mustard Museum Mount Horeb, Wis. It’s heaven for hot dog lovers! This museum says that it has to have the world’s largest collection of prepared mustard (芥末). It’s more than 4,100 bottles of spices (香料) come from 60 nations, including Turkey and China.Visitors learn the history of mustard, from how it’s made to how it’s advertised and sold. The museum’s creator, Barry Levenson, loves mustard so much that he even puts it on ice cream! Paper House Rock port, Mass, Elis Stenman was much ahead of his time in 1922, when he started to build a two-room house almost completely out of newspaper. At the time, people didn’t give much - if any - thought to recycling (回收利用) paper.In fact, “recycling” wasn’t even a word then. The house is framed (以......做框架) with wood, but the walls are made of newspaper only. In all, he used about 100,000 newspapers. 1.

However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an annoying situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly things that happen to our everyday life when someone falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes of people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents (口音), the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The famous Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the role played by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world wouldn’t do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. As a result, British sense of humour has become well known to many people. 4. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes? A. British jokes cover too many cultures. B. Foreigners cannot speak English fluently. C. The British seldom fully express how they really feel. D. British jokes are not as funny as those in other countries. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A Humour in British daily life be. B. The kinds of British humour. C. Explanation of understatement. D. The purpose of understatement. 6. How does Mr Bean make people laugh? A. By telling funny stories. B. By making fun of himself. C. By copying others’ behaviour D. By using body movements and facial expressions. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Humour Across Cultures B. Developing a Sense of Humour C. British Humour in Comedies D. Understanding British Humour C Clara packed her things at the office and went to her boss, “It’s been a pleasure working with you, but I’m leaving my job,” she turned and left. “Why do you get home so early?” asked her sister Sally. “The Civil War is taking its toll on the Union soldiers. I need to help them.” Sally looked around the room. “I’m going with you.” The two volunteered at a hospital where soldiers received treatment. After several months, Clara became worried. “Sally, this isn’t enough. I need to help the soldiers in the field and on the front lines. I’m leaving in the morning.” Sally looked surprised. “Clara! You can’t. It’s too dangerous!” “The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger.” Clara got donations (捐赠物) from wherever she could and used her own savings to buy things that soldiers need. She also organized men to give help, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded. Months later, Clara finally made it to the front line. The wounded soldiers were so thankful for what she had done; they even named her the Angel of the Battlefield. After the Civil War ended, Clara went to Europe to rest her body and mind. So many years of helping soldiers and their families had worn her down. While visiting Switzerland, Clara learned of the Intentional Red Cross. Its aim of helping war victims (受害者) around the world created interest and excitement in Clara . It also encouraged an idea. When she returned home, Clara worked to start an American Red Cross. She even met with President Hayes to discuss it. Finally, on 21 May 1881, the American Red Cross was formed. A month later, Clara was made president of the organization. 8. What does the underlined phrase “taking its toll on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Calling for. B. Taking control of. C. Having a bad effect on. D. Making an impression on. 9. How did Clara help the soldiers during the Civil War? A. By giving medical care to soldiers. B. By starting the American Red Cross. C. By sending supplies to the front line. D. By encouraging people to join the army. 10. Which of the following can best describe Clara? A. Kind and smart. B. Honest and thankful. C. Strict and narrow- minded. D. Brave and warm-hearted. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe how cruel the Civil War was. B. To tell how the International Red Cross was formed. C. To explain the role that women played in the war. D. To introduce an important woman in American history. D Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person. People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapes that limit (限制) blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair colour or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort on changing what they look like? If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours in choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person. 12. What is the author’s attitude to people’s putting fashion above health? A. Curious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The fashion industry is strong. B. Beauty products are harmful to health. C. People try very hard to be fashionable. D. Both women and men search for beauty. 14. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend? A. Going skiing with friends. B. Starting a new diet with a friend. C. Changing hairstyles every week. D. Shopping for fashionable clothes. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the latest fashion trends. B. To tell readers how to remain fashionable. C. To advise readers to value health over fashion. D. To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分 12. 5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives.

Flight BA030 to Boston leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man stepped into the airport restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee. He noticed that there were two beautiful young women next to him. The black- haired one was wearing a brown coat and carried a heavy black bag. The other was a blonde (金发女子) in a white coat. They were in deep conversation, but soon separated. He saw the black- haired woman again when he was buying a magazine and soon realized that someone was pushing him. After he found out who it was, he gave her a little smile. “Busy place,” he said. The woman looked up at him and a strange expression crossed her face and soon disappeared. She moved away from him and joined the crowds (人群) in the airport. The man was at the counter (柜台) with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the pocket was empty. Where could I have lost it? He thought. The black- haired woman was so near to me. All at once he understood that she had picked his pocket. What was he to do? He would have to do something about the lost credit cards — call home, have his wife get the numbers out of the top desk drawer, phone the card companies — so difficult a process. When he decided to find a policeman he was shocked to see the black- haired woman again. She was seated against a front window, reading a book. A seat beside her was empty, and the man sat on it. “I’ve been looking for you,” he said. She raised her head and looked at him, “I don’t know you.” “Sure you do. You stole my wallet,” he said. “Excuse me?” the woman said. “I knew you did — at the magazine counter. If you give it back, I can forget the whole thing. If you don’t, then I’ll hand you over to the police.” “All right,” she said. She pulled the black bag onto her leg, and took out a wallet from it. He took it from her. “Wait a minute,” he said, “This isn’t mine.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 All of a sudden, the woman stood and ran away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As he was about to catch the black- haired woman, something unexpected happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
