In high school I would avoid taking part in class discussions. I was too afraid to talk to anyone but my closest friends. I would think about being less shy, wanting the courage not only to ask a girl out, but to speak up in class and say what I was thinking. However, it never happened. Fears embodied themselves in such self-conscious questions as, “What will other people think?”“What if she says no?”I felt a dark presence in my mind holding me back. This shyness continued into college. One day the question occurred to me: Is life shy? The thought surprised me suddenly! Think of the leaves bursting out in the spring time, the bird singing at dawn, the sheer number of different forms of life, all expressing the wideness and scope of divine life. There’s nothing shy about it. This life is everywhere and attention-grabbing. So, if my creator isn’t shy about all the life that needs expressing, I don’t need to be, either. I realized that if I wanted to overcome fear and shyness, I would have to put this law of life into practice. Shyness, fear, and loneliness were preventing me from living my life as life. God wanted me to live it. I had to refuse to let fear and shyness control me. Instead, I decided to live how life saw me. One example: I wrote a note to a girl, asking her out on a date. Even as I was writing it, the fears of being refused and unworthiness came to me. This time, however, instead of shrinking back and hiding from the fear, I put the note in the campus mail in spite of myself. I thought, whether she says yes or no, it’s still right for me not to be shy. I can live with the confidence sent from the source of my life. The girl saw me in class the next day and told me that she would love to go out with me. I shouldn’t have been so surprised! Bit by bit, I was proving that a limited view of myself no longer had control over me. After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theatre, became a published writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a major university. 26．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．The write was active in class discussion. B．The writer was brave enough to speak up in class. C．The writer was so shy that he couldn’t ask a girl out. D．The writer was too afraid to talk to his closest friends. 27．What does the underlined word “occurred” mean in the second paragraph? A．Agreed. B．Hurried. C．Jumped. D．Happened. 28．Why does the writer mention the example in Paragraph 4? A．To explain why fear and shyness could control him. B．To show how surprised he felt that day. C．To describe how difficult it was to overcome the fear and why he couldn’t make it. D．To prove a limited view of himself no longer control over him. 29．How was the writer’s life according to the last paragraph? A．Shy. B．Successful. C．Sad. D．Surprising. 【答案】26．C 27．D 28．D 29．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要是作者讲述了自己克服害羞取得人生和事业成功的故事。 26．细节理解题。根据第一段“I would think about being less shy, wanting the courage not only to ask a girl out, but to speak up in class and say what I was thinking. However, it never happened.”可知，作者很害羞，没勇气约女孩出去。故选C。 27．词义推测题。根据第二段“One day the question occurred to me: Is life shy? The thought surprised me suddenly!”可知，此处是指作者突然想到了一个让他惊讶的问题：生命是害羞的吗？也就是说，一个让作者惊讶的问题突然出现在作者脑海中；据此可推断划线单词“occurred”意为“出现，发生”。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据第三段“I had to refuse to let fear and shyness control me. Instead, I decided to live how life saw me.”和第五段“Bit by bit, I was proving that a limited view of myself no longer had control over me.”可推断，第四段所举的例子就是为了证明对自己的狭隘看法不再控制着作者。故选D。 29．推理判断题。根据最后一段“After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theatre, became a published writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a major university.”可知，作者拥有一份好的工作，家庭幸福；据此可以推断作者现在很成功。故选B。 B For most first-year students at a university or college, August is the month for military training (军训). It offers a good chance to meet our classmates and get ready for the new school life. Our school’s training took place from August 23 to 29. First, we would make a blackboard newspaper for our new classroom. When I found out that I was in charge of (负责) this project, I was nervous. Could I manage to both complete this project and prepare for the closing concert? What if my classmates wouldn’t follow my instructions? The project began on August 24. The three other girls in the group have different abilities. My group gave up our lunch break so that we would have more time to work. One girl in my group asked about my design, saying that we should shorten the text and leave more space for pictures. The arguments (争论) between us made me sad from time to time, but whenever there was an argument, I tried to stay calm. I thought hard about whether or not to take her suggestions and then made some changes. I found that she had a lot of good ideas. As time went by, even when I couldn’t take part in practice. I wasn’t worried about leaving the project to her. Finally, it was time for our project to be shown. Our teacher said that no matter what the results might be, our efforts (努力) would not be wasted. Our class finally won first prize in the competition. Our teacher was right. The result was not the most important.

A．Team work is important B．Never let a chance go by C．Try to get the first prize D．Hard work makes a difference 【答案】30．C 31．D 32．B 33．A 【导语】本文作者讲述了上大学军训期间为新教室做黑板报的经历。作者负责这个项目。作者和其他三个女孩共同的努力出色地完成了这个项目，在比赛中获得了一等奖。作者感到了强烈的集体荣誉感，以及团队合作的重要性。 30．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It offers a good chance to meet our classmates”可知，军训让学生们相互了解。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“…My group gave up our lunch break so that we would have more time to work. One girl in my group asked about my design, … The arguments … I found that she had a lot of good ideas. …I wasn’t worried about leaving the project to her.”可知，第三段主要讲述了作者团队是如何为他们的项目做准备的。故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据第2段中“When I found out that I was in charge of (负责) this project, I was nervous”、第三段中“The arguments (争论) between us made me sad from time to time, but whenever there was an argument, I tried to stay calm….I wasn’t worried about leaving the project to her.”和第五段中“I had never seen a class with such a strong sense of group honor, and at that moment, I realized that I was working with a great group of students.”可知，作者对这个项目的感觉变化是紧张-担忧-平静-骄傲。故选B。 33．最佳标题题。 本文作者讲述了上大学军训期间，作者负责为新教室做黑板报这个项目，作者和其他三个女孩共同合作，出色地完成了这个项目，作者感到了团队合作的重要性。由此可知，这篇文章最好的标题是“团队合作很重要”。故选A。 C Imagine a school where students don’t put on plays, paint pictures or sing and dance. This may come true if the school board cannot balance (均衡) its cost. To save money, the board has taken action and advised some city high schools to cut all their arts cost. While we must balance the cost and should not spend more than we have, we should try to look for the money in others ways. Visual (视觉的) and performing arts are a necessary part of our children’s education. For many students, art has helped them stay interested in school. Tara Sossa, for example, is a West High student who had planned to drop out as soon as she turned sixteen. A few months before her sixteenth birthday, an art teacher asked her to take part in oil painting. This opened up a bright new world to her. Little by little, she built self-confidence and she stayed at school. Then she got a job at a magazine. ▲ Learning arts mean to learn problem-solving skills. Learning acting helps students learn about teamwork. Learning dancing helps students learn the meaning of hard work. Besides, the arts encourage innovation ability and creative thinking. These are qualities young people need. So the arts are as necessary to students learning as other subjects. 34．Put the events about Tara Sossa in the right order according to the passage. a. She entered a bright new world.    b. She planned to drop, out of school. c. She built self-confidence and stayed.   d. She was asked to take part in oil painting.

C．The arts can also make students learn better. D．The arts can also help students to be artists. 36．The underlined word “innovation” in the last paragraph probably means________. A．表达 B．创新 C．应变 D．自理 37．The best title of the passage is ________. A．The Importance of Learning Arts B．The Way to Learn Arts C．The Meaning of Hard Work D．The Differences between Arts and Other Subjects 【答案】34．D 35．B 36．B 37．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了艺术往往是学校最先被削减的项目，但作者认为艺术是孩子们教育的必要组成部分，应当被保留。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tara Sossa, for example, is a West High student who had planned to drop out as soon as she turned sixteen. A few months before her sixteenth birthday, an art teacher asked her to take part in oil painting. This opened up a bright new world to her. Little by little, she built self-confidence and she stayed at school. ”可知，Tara Sossa打算16岁的时候辍学，然后老师让她去学油画，从此艺术为她打开了一个光明的新世界，她建立了自信、并待在了学校。D项的顺序是正确的，故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段“Learning arts mean to learn problem-solving skills.”可知，此处指艺术可以教会青少年一些有用的技巧，故选B。 36．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Besides, the arts encourage innovation ability and creative thinking.”可知，此外，艺术鼓励创新能力和创造性思维；“innovation ability”与“creative thinking”是并列关系，推知“innovation”为“创新”。故选B。 37．最佳标题题。根据“So the arts are as necessary to students learning as other subjects.”和全文可知，本文主要介绍了艺术的重要性，艺术是孩子们教育的必要组成部分；因此A项“学习艺术的重要性”为本文最佳标题。故选A。 D 38．Which day has two activities in the International Week (国际周)? A．Monday. B．Tuesday. C．Thursday. D．Saturday. 39．Which activity can you join if you want to win a prize? A．Where in the World? B．International Crafts. C．Language Fun.

It’s...for you to learn about Chinese culture.”可知，举办中国文化周是了解中国文化的机会，chance“机会”，空前有a修饰，名词应用单数形式，故填(c)hance。 47．句意：剪纸作为中国传统艺术，包含了植物、动物、人物、故事等不同的内容。根据首字母提示及“different contents(内容) about plants, animals, people, stories and so on.”可知，此处说的是剪纸包括的内容，include“包括”，是动词，时态为一般现在时，主语是复数名词，动词应用原形，故填(i)nclude。 48．句意：此外，中国书法比赛也很值得参加，这对学习中国文化很有帮助。根据首字母提示及“a Chinese calligraphy competition is...taking part in, which is very helpful in learning Chinese culture.”可知，书法比赛也值得参加，be worth doing sth“值得做某事”，故填(w)orth。 49．句意：此外，关于中国历史、诗歌甚至食物的演讲当然是受欢迎的，因为它们可以帮助你更好地理解。根据首字母提示及“In...speeches about Chinese history, poems or even food are surely welcome”可知，此处是短语in addition“此外，另外”，故填(a)ddition。 50．句意：此外，关于中国历史、诗歌甚至食物的演讲当然是受欢迎的，因为它们可以帮助你更好地理解。根据“peeches about Chinese history, poems or even food are surely welcome, because they can help you...better.”及首字母提示可知，听演讲也能帮助更好地理解，understand“理解”，此处是help sb do sth的结构，故填(u)nderstand。 五、完成句子 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 51．她的老师认为她最好勇敢地去尝试一下。 Her teacher thinks she a try bravely. 【答案】 had better have 【详解】had better do sth“最好做某事”，固定搭配，后面加动词原形；have a try“试一下”。故填had；better；have。 52．老师总是建议我们不要犯同样的错误。 The teacher always make the same mistake. 【答案】advises us not to 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，空处意为“建议某人不要做某事”，用结构advise sb. not to do sth.表达；动词advise后接宾格us“我们”；结合“always”可知，此句为一般现在时，主语The teacher是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填advises us not to。 53．在过马路时，你一定要留神并时刻小心。 and always be careful when you cross the road. 【答案】 Look out 【详解】look out“小心”，该句为祈使句，应用动词原形开头，且句首首字母大写，故填Look；out。 54．在我看来，世界上最大的奇迹是长城。 , the greatest wonder of the world is the Great Wall. 【答案】 In my opinion 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少的是“在我看来”的英文，in one’s opinion在某人看来，套用短语可知“在我看来”是in my opinion，因位于句首，所以首字母要大写。故答案为In my opinion。 55．这是多么有用的建议呀！你太聪明了。 this is! You are so smart. 【答案】 What useful advice 【详解】有用的：useful，形容词；建议：advice，不可数名词；分析句子可知，这是一个感叹句，感叹的重心落在名词“建议”上，因此使用what引导感叹句，即What +形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语！故填What；useful；advice。 六、书面表达(15分) 56．假设你是李华，上周你们学校举办了英语节活动。请根据以下表格内容，以“The English Festival”为题给校报投稿，介绍你校英语节的情况，并谈谈自己的感受。 英语节 时间 1月2日至1月5日 地点 学校操场 参加者 全体学生 活动 1. 三分之二的学生观看了一部有关发明家爱迪生的英文电影； 2. 30%的学生表演英语话剧，他们用英语讲述了中国传统故事，如《花木兰》，《鸿门宴》等； 3. ……(自行补充一点) 感受 1.更多学生体会到英语的乐趣； 2. ……(自行补充一点) 要求： 1. 80 词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数内； 2. 文中不得出现真实姓名和校名； 3. 可以适当增加细节，使条理清楚、行文连贯； 4. 表达正确，书面整洁。 参考词汇：爱迪生 Edison；表演话剧 act out plays；《花木兰》Mulan；《鸿门宴》Hongmen Banquet The English Festival There was an English festival in the school playground last week.

In high school I would avoid taking part in class discussions. I was too afraid to talk to anyone but my closest friends. I would think about being less shy, wanting the courage not only to ask a girl out, but to speak up in class and say what I was thinking. However, it never happened. Fears embodied themselves in such self-conscious questions as, “What will other people think?”“What if she says no?”I felt a dark presence in my mind holding me back. This shyness continued into college. One day the question occurred to me: Is life shy? The thought surprised me suddenly! Think of the leaves bursting out in the spring time, the bird singing at dawn, the sheer number of different forms of life, all expressing the wideness and scope of divine life. There’s nothing shy about it. This life is everywhere and attention-grabbing. So, if my creator isn’t shy about all the life that needs expressing, I don’t need to be, either. I realized that if I wanted to overcome fear and shyness, I would have to put this law of life into practice. Shyness, fear, and loneliness were preventing me from living my life as life. God wanted me to live it. I had to refuse to let fear and shyness control me. Instead, I decided to live how life saw me. One example: I wrote a note to a girl, asking her out on a date. Even as I was writing it, the fears of being refused and unworthiness came to me. This time, however, instead of shrinking back and hiding from the fear, I put the note in the campus mail in spite of myself. I thought, whether she says yes or no, it’s still right for me not to be shy. I can live with the confidence sent from the source of my life. The girl saw me in class the next day and told me that she would love to go out with me. I shouldn’t have been so surprised! Bit by bit, I was proving that a limited view of myself no longer had control over me. After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theatre, became a published writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a major university. 26．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．The write was active in class discussion. B．The writer was brave enough to speak up in class. C．The writer was so shy that he couldn’t ask a girl out. D．The writer was too afraid to talk to his closest friends. 27．What does the underlined word “occurred” mean in the second paragraph? A．Agreed. B．Hurried. C．Jumped. D．Happened. 28．Why does the writer mention the example in Paragraph 4? A．To explain why fear and shyness could control him. B．To show how surprised he felt that day. C．To describe how difficult it was to overcome the fear and why he couldn’t make it. D．To prove a limited view of himself no longer control over him. 29．How was the writer’s life according to the last paragraph? A．Shy. B．Successful. C．Sad. D．Surprising. B For most first-year students at a university or college, August is the month for military training (军训). It offers a good chance to meet our classmates and get ready for the new school life. Our school’s training took place from August 23 to 29. First, we would make a blackboard newspaper for our new classroom. When I found out that I was in charge of (负责) this project, I was nervous. Could I manage to both complete this project and prepare for the closing concert? What if my classmates wouldn’t follow my instructions? The project began on August 24. The three other girls in the group have different abilities. My group gave up our lunch break so that we would have more time to work. One girl in my group asked about my design, saying that we should shorten the text and leave more space for pictures. The arguments (争论) between us made me sad from time to time, but whenever there was an argument, I tried to stay calm. I thought hard about whether or not to take her suggestions and then made some changes. I found that she had a lot of good ideas. As time went by, even when I couldn’t take part in practice. I wasn’t worried about leaving the project to her. Finally, it was time for our project to be shown. Our teacher said that no matter what the results might be, our efforts (努力) would not be wasted. Our class finally won first prize in the competition. Our teacher was right. The result was not the most important. I had never seen a class with such a strong sense of group honor, and at that moment, I realized that I was working with a great group of students. 30．What do we know about military training from the passage? A．It asks all the students to take part in its each term. B．It usually takes place from August 23 to 29. C．It allows students to get to know each other. D．It always ends with a school concert. 31．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．How the writer prepared for the concert. B．How the writer chose her group members. C．How the writer got through military training D．How the writer’s group prepared for their project. 32．How did the writer’s feeling change about the project? A．nervous — hopeless — confident — sad B．nervous — worried — calm — proud C．confident — worried — sad — proud D．nervous — worried — angry — sad 33．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Team work is important B．Never let a chance go by C．Try to get the first prize D．Hard work makes a difference C Imagine a school where students don’t put on plays, paint pictures or sing and dance. This may come true if the school board cannot balance (均衡) its cost. To save money, the board has taken action and advised some city high schools to cut all their arts cost. While we must balance the cost and should not spend more than we have, we should try to look for the money in others ways. Visual (视觉的) and performing arts are a necessary part of our children’s education. For many students, art has helped them stay interested in school. Tara Sossa, for example, is a West High student who had planned to drop out as soon as she turned sixteen. A few months before her sixteenth birthday, an art teacher asked her to take part in oil painting. This opened up a bright new world to her. Little by little, she built self-confidence and she stayed at school. Then she got a job at a magazine. ▲ Learning arts mean to learn problem-solving skills. Learning acting helps students learn about teamwork. Learning dancing helps students learn the meaning of hard work. Besides, the arts encourage innovation ability and creative thinking. These are qualities young people need. So the arts are as necessary to students learning as other subjects. 34．Put the events about Tara Sossa in the right order according to the passage. a. She entered a bright new world.    b. She planned to drop, out of school. c. She built self-confidence and stayed.   d. She was asked to take part in oil painting. A．a-c-b-d B．d-b-c-a C．b-d-c-a D．b-d-a-c 35．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A．The arts can also make students’ life colorful. B．The arts can also teach students useful skills. C．The arts can also make students learn better. D．The arts can also help students to be artists. 36．The underlined word “innovation” in the last paragraph probably means________. A．表达 B．创新 C．应变 D．自理 37．The best title of the passage is ________. A．The Importance of Learning Arts B．The Way to Learn Arts C．The Meaning of Hard Work D．The Differences between Arts and Other Subjects D 38．Which day has two activities in the International Week (国际周)? A．Monday. B．Tuesday. C．Thursday. D．Saturday. 39．Which activity can you join if you want to win a prize? A．Where in the World? B．International Crafts. C．Language Fun.
