After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work. One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move. In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something. I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher. When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success. 41. The author went to Los Angeles to ______. A. find a high-paid job B. reach for her dream C. visit a famous film director D. take part in volunteer activities 42. What was the author’s reaction to the production manager’s comments on her? A. Proud. B. Happy. C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed. 43. What does the author think of her job in Florida? A. It lacks challenges. B. It requires a higher degree. C. It often takes up her free time. D. It can hardly support her family. 44. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4? A. She set herself to work on a new goal. B. She was moved by her children’s words. C. She was attracted by a picture storybook. D. She planned to leave for Los Angeles some day. 45. What does the author encourage us to do through this text? A. To make a cross-country move. B. To break our old working habits. C. To try hard to improve our writing skills. D. To make every effort to achieve our goals. C Just blocks away from Abbey Road Studios, the City of Westminster has completed work on a short but highly unusual new zebra crossing. The crossing has created a 3D visual effect giving the crossing the appearance of roadblocks from a long distance away, so it can easily make drivers take their feet off the accelerator pedal (油门踏板) and continue driving with extra carefulness at a lower speed, which is, in the end, the entire point. According to the City of Westminster, the 3D zebra crossing in St. John’s Wood, London — it can be found where St. John’s Wood High Street meets Wellington Place — is believed to be the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Westminster City Council points out that while the 3D zebra crossing in St. John’s Wood is being tested for a 9- to 12-month period, there is the possibility that it could stay for longer depending on how drivers react to it. If it proves feasible, more 3D zebra crossings could replace boring old flat zebra crossings in small towns and big cities in a growing handful of countries including India, Germany and France. “Our 3D zebra crossing could be the future at road safety across the country,” says councilor Tim Mitchell, a member for Environment and City Management. “Far from being simply an excellent innovation (创新) that makes the ordinary look eye-catching and modern, the 3D effect helps drivers to see the crossing more easily.” However, a spokesperson for Britain’s Automobile Association (AA) says that using an optical illusion to slow traffic and improve safety along a specific area of road is “worth a try”, but that the approach shouldn't be viewed as possible for all of London because of the city’s street design. In other words, just because a 3D zebra crossing might prove successful in a Chinese city or a small Icelandic town doesn’t mean it’ll be practical in London. AA also strongly suggests careful further management of both driver and pedestrian safety. While the somewhat relaxing appearance of these crossings has proven practical in getting drivers to slow down, they can also attract a large number of people wanting to photograph without any planning in the middle of the street, which is dangerous. 46. What do you know about St. John’s Wood’s 3D zebra crossing? A. It can slow down the traffic. B It is actually a kind of roadblock. C. It aims to reduce traffic jams and pollution. D. London is the first city around the world to build it 47. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean? A. Useless. B. Unpractical. C. Safe. D. Workable. 48. According to Tim Mitchell, he ______ . A. is interested in 3D technology B. is hopeful about 3D zebra crossings C. considers that 3D zebra crossings are a waste of space D. thinks that 3D zebra crossings can keep the traffic safe 49. The spokesperson of AA wants to say that ______. A. 3D zebra crossings will not work across London B. 3D zebra crossings are only useful in developed countries C. 3D zebra crossings should be put to use around London at once D. 3D zebra crossings need to be improved according to the streets of London 50. According to the last paragraph, the 3D zebra crossing ______. A. has become a tourist attraction B. can make sure of the safety of pedestrians C. has both advantages and disadvantages D. can put some careless drivers into danger D You are a member in a full-time school called “life”. Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you are traveling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life. As you are traveling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn. The challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. But don’t compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. 51. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A. Gathering different opinions from others B. Taking the distinct path from others. C Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing the different things from others. 52. From the passage we can conclude . A. everyone has his own track to follow B. unexpected things usually happen to the peers C. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage 53. In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with . A. are beyond your power B. keep you from growth C. limit your development D. help you with your success 54. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All things should be equal and justice to everybody. B. You should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others. C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances. D. You can complain life is unfair whenever possible. 55. Life is called a full–time school, because . A. it is full of all lessons to learn B. you have plenty of time to learn lessons C. you meet with specific lessons every day D. you can learn many things helpful to you 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 （共5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind. Technology touches every part of our daily lives- even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you? Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter. Education is not only important on the job front, however. Recent studies show that continually -learning will keep your brain more healthy. The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the Yong run. It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise. The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation(刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp. Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate. Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past. Was it because you just could not learn, or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven. Never say no to education, never say no to yourself. 56. Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? (no more than10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined phrase “give the edge to” mean? (no more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. According to this passage, what should we do to keep our brain acute?(no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? (no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60. In your opinion, why is education very important?

After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work. One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move. In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something. I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher. When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success. 41. The author went to Los Angeles to ______.

The crossing has created a 3D visual effect giving the crossing the appearance of roadblocks from a long distance away, so it can easily make drivers take their feet off the accelerator pedal (油门踏板) and continue driving with extra carefulness at a lower speed, which is, in the end, the entire point. According to the City of Westminster, the 3D zebra crossing in St. John’s Wood, London — it can be found where St. John’s Wood High Street meets Wellington Place — is believed to be the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Westminster City Council points out that while the 3D zebra crossing in St. John’s Wood is being tested for a 9- to 12-month period, there is the possibility that it could stay for longer depending on how drivers react to it. If it proves feasible, more 3D zebra crossings could replace boring old flat zebra crossings in small towns and big cities in a growing handful of countries including India, Germany and France. “Our 3D zebra crossing could be the future at road safety across the country,” says councilor Tim Mitchell, a member for Environment and City Management. “Far from being simply an excellent innovation (创新) that makes the ordinary look eye-catching and modern, the 3D effect helps drivers to see the crossing more easily.” However, a spokesperson for Britain’s Automobile Association (AA) says that using an optical illusion to slow traffic and improve safety along a specific area of road is “worth a try”, but that the approach shouldn't be viewed as possible for all of London because of the city’s street design. In other words, just because a 3D zebra crossing might prove successful in a Chinese city or a small Icelandic town doesn’t mean it’ll be practical in London. AA also strongly suggests careful further management of both driver and pedestrian safety. While the somewhat relaxing appearance of these crossings has proven practical in getting drivers to slow down, they can also attract a large number of people wanting to photograph without any planning in the middle of the street, which is dangerous. 46. What do you know about St. John’s Wood’s 3D zebra crossing? A. It can slow down the traffic. B. It is actually a kind of roadblock. C. It aims to reduce traffic jams and pollution. D. London is the first city around the world to build it 47. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean? A. Useless. B. Unpractical. C. Safe. D. Workable. 48. According to Tim Mitchell, he ______ . A. is interested in 3D technology B. is hopeful about 3D zebra crossings C. considers that 3D zebra crossings are a waste of space D. thinks that 3D zebra crossings can keep the traffic safe 49. The spokesperson of AA wants to say that ______. A. 3D zebra crossings will not work across London B. 3D zebra crossings are only useful in developed countries C. 3D zebra crossings should be put to use around London at once D. 3D zebra crossings need to be improved according to the streets of London 50. According to the last paragraph, the 3D zebra crossing ______. A. has become a tourist attraction B. can make sure of the safety of pedestrians C. has both advantages and disadvantages D. can put some careless drivers into danger 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述英国威斯敏斯特市建立了一条3D斑马线来减缓交通以及人们对此的反应和态度。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The crossing has created a 3D visual effect giving the crossing the appearance of roadblocks from a long distance away, so it can easily make drivers take their feet off the accelerator pedal (油门踏板) and continue driving with extra carefulness at a lower speed, which is, in the end, the entire point.(该十字路口创造了3D视觉效果，使十字路口从很远的地方看起来像路障，所以它可以很容易地让司机把脚从油门踏板上移开，并以更低的速度继续格外小心地驾驶，这是最终的全部意义)”可知，圣约翰伍德的3D斑马线可以减缓交通，故选A。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“more 3D zebra crossings could replace boring old flat zebra crossings in small towns and big cities in a growing handful of countries including India, Germany and France(那么在印度、德国和法国等越来越多的国家，更多的3D斑马线将取代小城镇和大城市中无聊的老式平面斑马线)”可知，此处指如果这项技术被证明是可行的，将会被推广到其他国家，feasible意为“可行的”，故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Our 3D zebra crossing could be the future at road safety across the country,’ says councilor Tim Mitchell, a member for Environment and City Management. ‘Far from being simply an excellent innovation (创新) that makes the ordinary look eye-catching and modern, the 3D effect helps drivers to see the crossing more easily.’(‘我们的3D斑马线可能成为未来全国道路安全的保障，’环境与城市管理委员会成员Tim Mitchell议员说。‘3D效果不仅仅是一项出色的创新，它让普通的东西看起来更加醒目和现代，它还能帮助司机更容易地看到十字路口。’)”可知，Tim Mitchell对3D斑马线充满希望，故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, a spokesperson for Britain’s Automobile Association (AA) says that using an optical illusion to slow traffic and improve safety along a specific area of road is ‘worth a try’, but that the approach shouldn’t be viewed as possible for all of London because of the city’s street design.(然而，英国汽车协会（AA）的一位发言人表示，利用视错觉来减缓交通速度并提高特定区域道路的安全性‘值得一试’，但由于伦敦的街道设计，这种方法不应该被视为在整个伦敦都可行)”可知，英国汽车协会发言人想说的是3D斑马线不应被视为在整个伦敦都可行，故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While the somewhat relaxing appearance of these crossings has proven practical in getting drivers to slow down, they can also attract a large number of people wanting to photograph without any planning in the middle of the street, which is dangerous.(虽然这些十字路口看起来有些放松，但事实证明，它们在让司机减速方面是可行的，但它们也会吸引大量想要在没有任何计划的情况下在街道中间拍照的人，这是危险的)”可知，3D斑马线有利有弊，故选C。 D You are a member in a full-time school called “life”. Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you are traveling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life. As you are traveling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn. The challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. But don’t compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. 51. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A. Gathering different opinions from others B. Taking the distinct path from others. C. Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing the different things from others. 52. From the passage we can conclude . A. everyone has his own track to follow B. unexpected things usually happen to the peers C. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage 53. In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with . A. are beyond your power B. keep you from growth C. limit your development D. help you with your success 54. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All things should be equal and justice to everybody. B. You should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others. C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances. D. You can complain life is unfair whenever possible. 55. Life is called a full–time school, because . A. it is full of all lessons to learn B. you have plenty of time to learn lessons C. you meet with specific lessons every day D. you can learn many things helpful to you 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文，每个人的生活都不一样，所面临的人生难题也不一样。只有当我们学会了这些人生教训，我们才可以理解生活的意义，取得成功。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life.”可知我们想要实现自己生活的意义，就要学会呈现在你面前的种种教训。故C项正确。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s.”可知每个人都有自己生活目的，都有不同于他人的人生道路。故A项正确。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn.”可知当我们学会了所有这些教训，我们就能够理解生活的意义，我们就会取得成功，故D项正确。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth.”可知我们每个人所面临的人生道路上的教训都是不一样的，我们必须要学会处理这些与别人不一样的问题。故B项正确。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s.”可知每个人都有自己的生活目的，都有不同于他人的人生道路。在生活这所学校里，我们要学会处理这些不同的问题。故C项正确。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 （共5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind. Technology touches every part of our daily lives- even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you? Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter. Education is not only important on the job front, however. Recent studies show that continually -learning will keep your brain more healthy. The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the Yong run. It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise. The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation(刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp. Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate. Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past. Was it because you just could not learn, or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven. Never say no to education, never say no to yourself. 56. Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? (no more than10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined phrase “give the edge to” mean? (no more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. According to this passage, what should we do to keep our brain acute?(no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? (no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60. In your opinion, why is education very important? ( no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To show technology touches all aspects of our life Or: To tell us technology touches every part of our life. Or: To tell us that we can’t break away from technology. 57. Prefer/ Value / Favor/ Like / Pay attention to/ Focus on. 58. We should make our brain work to learn something new. 59. They are for those who have low self-esteem because of poor education. Or: They are for people who didn’t get enough education in the past. 60. (Open) Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了教育在当今社会中的重要作用，现在社会科技迅速发展，教育的重要性也越加明显，它能改善我们的工作，提高我们自信等。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Technology touches every part of our daily lives- even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. (技术触及我们日常生活的方方面面——甚至快餐业也依赖计算机辅助系统来加快向客户送达的速度)”可知，作者通过提及快餐业依赖计算机辅助系统，目的是为了说明技术触及我们生活的方方面面，而“the fast food industry”是生活的一部分体现，故答案为To show technology touches all aspects of our life；Or: To tell us technology touches every part of our life；Or: To tell us that we can’t break away from technology. 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. (即使是最低级别的工作竞争也很激烈，现在大多数雇主都会……有额外教育背景的人。)”说明在激烈的就业竞争中，雇主会对有额外教育背景的人有偏向，give the edge to意思就是“更倾向于、更重视、更喜欢”等类似含义，故答案为Prefer/ Value / Favor。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation(刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp. (你的大脑可能也是如此：让它努力学习新事物，它会不断寻找新信息的刺激，以保持自己的敏锐度。)”可知，要让大脑保持敏锐，应该让大脑去学习新东西，故答案为We should make our brain work to learn something new. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life. (教育对您的自我意识和自尊很重要。如果你允许自己认为自己受教育程度低，那么你应该拥有一辆旧车、小房子和贫穷的生活。)”可知，提出的建议是针对那些因教育程度低而自尊感低的人，或者是过去没接受足够教育的人，故答案填They are for those who have low self-esteem because of poor education. Or: They are for people who didn’t get enough education in the past. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。根据第二段中“Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now. (曾几何时，你只需高中文凭就可以过上美好的生活，但那些时代现在已经一去不复返了。)”及第四段中“Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. (教育对您的自我意识和自尊很重要。)”可知，教育能帮助我们找到好工作和建立自信等好处。故答案填Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）. 61. 假定你是李华，计划和同学去敬老院（nursing home）陪老人们过重阳节。请给外教 Mary写封邮件，邀请她一同前往，内容包括： 1. 出发及返回时间； 2. 活动：包饺子（make dumplings）、表演节目等。 注意：1.词数不少于100（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2.可以适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 Dear Mary, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your reply.
