Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.” And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him. Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ” “It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. “They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.” “I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says. Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies. “I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.” 4. What do we learn from paragraph 2? A. School can never be fun. B. Connor is highly demanding. C. Connor’s students drive him crazy. D. Connor thinks education is for all. 5. What did Pat find out about Mr Connor? A. Mr Connor donated blood as well as his time. B. Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies. C. Mr Connor used to he a very strict teacher. D. Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy. 6. Which of the following is true about Mr. Connor? A. He works two shifts every day for a living. B.

Tough teacher has a soft heart 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7.

Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. (在献血中心里，帕特发现一块牌子，上面列出了医院里所有的顶级献血者，包括记录保持者吉姆·康纳。然后，他发现了更难以置信的事情：只要康纳不用微积分折磨孩子，他就会去拥抱生病的婴儿。在过去的20年里，吉姆每周有3天在医院做志愿者，在父母不能做的时候参与到一项活动中来，抱着，喂着，安慰着他们的孩子)”可知，康纳先生不仅捐了血，还贡献了自己的时间。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段““They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”(“他们往往会因为他而平静下来，”艾琳护士说。“他们往往和他在一起很放松。他们和他一起入睡。”)”可推知，康纳先生有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位70岁的越战老兵说，他来这里不是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该是有趣的时候，我都快疯了，”他说。“我的意思是，如果可以的话当然很好，但你不能让学校变得有趣。”)”可知，康纳对学生要求很高，是一位严格的老师。根据第五、六段内容可知，康纳先生还很有爱心，而且有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流，有一颗柔软的心。由此可知，D项“Tough teacher has a soft heart(严厉的老师有一颗柔软的心)”符合文意，最适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 To me, Shakespeare is a bit of a touchy subject in the theatre industry. I believe Shakespeare’s plays to be the most challenging in terms of language. When you have challenging language, then understanding the plot and topics discussed becomes a challenge as well. It’s like a chain. If you don’t understand it from the start, it makes things hard later on and people tend to give up on it. Regardless of all of this, I believe Shakespeare’s plays are important in the sense that they are where true theatre started. William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows regardless of whether you enjoy his work or not. Many high schools or colleges do at least one Shakespeare’s play every few years and I like that. I think it’s important to expose students to plays that are a bit more challenging than they’re used to. Of course, it’s not easy to understand these plays but then think about the people who act in those plays. When acting, you have to understand your character inside and out and not only that, but you need to completely know everything going on around you as well. So to understand the script is one thing, but then to take it to that next level in terms of acting in a Shakespeare’s play is a whole other thing. How about memorizing the lines? That’s one of the hardest things actors have said they had to get through. It is such heightened language that it’s almost like learning a foreign language. Shakespeare’s play is tough and that’s what I think I love about it the most. The challenge is understanding. Once you have that then you have room to play with it. Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare’s play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better. There is an immense amount of exploration and discovery in his plays and the experience can be really satisfying. It’s hard stuff, but it’s fascinating and we should be embracing it. 8. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The characteristics of Shakespeare’s plays. B. How to perform Shakespeare’s plays successfully. C. The importance and way of enjoying Shakespeare’s plays. D. How to understand the tough language of Shakespeare’s plays. 9. What’s the biggest challenge in understanding Shakespeare’s plays? A. The plot and topics. B. The challenging language. C. Understanding the characters. D. How to understand from the start. 10. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2? A. Outstanding and lively. B. Strange and mechanical. C. Complicated and difficult. D. High-leveled and interesting. 11. What does the writer suggest you do when enjoying Shakespeare’s plays? A. Act them out. B. Remember the lines in them. C. Learn Shakespeare’s language. D. Enjoy them with an open mind. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲的是尽管莎士比亚剧本中的语言因很难理解而极具挑战性，但学生们欣赏莎士比亚的戏剧仍是非常重要的，同时作者也谈到了欣赏莎士比亚戏剧的方法。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Regardless of all of this, I believe Shakespeare’s plays are important in the sense that they are where true theatre started. William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows regardless of whether you enjoy his work or not. (不管这些，我相信莎士比亚的戏剧很重要，因为它们是真正的戏剧开始的地方。不管你喜不喜欢他的作品，威廉·莎士比亚这个名字大家都知道。)”可知，第一段点明主题, 讲述了欣赏莎士比亚戏剧重要性，根据第二段中的“Many high schools or colleges do at least one Shakespeare’s play every few years and I like that. I think it’s important to expose students to plays that are a bit more challenging than they’re used to. (许多高中或大学每隔几年至少演出一部莎士比亚的戏剧，我很喜欢。我认为让学生接触比他们习惯的更具挑战性的戏剧是很重要的。)”可知，第二段进一步谈自己的观点并以演员排练莎士比亚戏剧为例对自己观点进行佐证，根据尾段中的“Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare’s play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better. (因此，如果人们以更开放的心态去看莎士比亚的戏剧，他们的体验会好得多。)”可知，作者在最后一段谈如何欣赏莎剧，综合以上信息可知，本文主要讲述了学生们欣赏莎士比亚戏剧重要性以及方法。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I believe Shakespeare’s plays to be the most challenging in terms of language. (我认为莎士比亚的戏剧在语言方面是最具挑战性的。)”可知，作者相信从语言方面讲，莎士比亚戏剧是最具有挑战性的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中“that it’s almost like learning a foreign language. (这几乎就像学习一门外语。)”可知，此处为that引导的结果状语从句，画线单词所在的句子导致的结果是“莎士比亚的语言就像是外语”，且后句中进一步说“Shakespeare’s play is tough. (莎士比亚的剧本很难懂)”可知，莎士比亚的剧本很难懂，由此故可推知，heightened应该是与“复杂的，困难的”意思相近。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare’s play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better. (因此，如果人们以更开放的心态去看莎士比亚的戏剧，他们的体验会好得多。)”可知，如果人们以一种开放的心态进入莎剧，那么他们的体验就好很多。故选D项。 My 10-year-old Donna said, "Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?" Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. "Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. I knew we would be best friends forever. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." she told me. But three days later, Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes. The next day Donna brought her new friend home. "Hi, Mrs. Loggia." the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. "My name is Laura." My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me, Lillian's sister, from Washington Heights." Yes, my daughter's friend looked familiar. She was Lillian's niece. 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined words in paragraph 2? A. Invited me to go shopping. B. Drew pictures with me outside. C. Helped me out of a locked room. D. Made me more outgoing than before. 13. Why did the author lose her best friend? A.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿Donna 是一个害羞的女孩，作者希望她能交一些朋友不要再害羞，一天Donna 要带朋友回家，这让作者想起了自己已故的朋友 Lillian。结果作者女儿的好友Laura竟然是作者去世的好友Lillian的侄女。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“I was shy, but Lillian”可知，but表示转折，说明作者害羞，但是Lillian让作者变得比以前更外向。故画线词意思是“使我比以前更外向”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." she told me. But three days later, Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more.(上高中时，莉莲去佛罗里达旅行。 这是我们第一次不得不离开对方几天。“我很快就回来，”她告诉我。但是三天后，莉莲的姐姐告诉我，她掉进了河里，再也没有出来了)”可知，Lillian在弗罗里达旅行时，掉进河里，去世了，所以作者失去了她的好友Lillian。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“"Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian.(“当然，亲爱的，听起来很棒。” 我说，想起了我最好的朋友Lillian)”以及第三段中“Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.(每当我想起她，我就会热泪盈眶)”可知，作者总是想念Lillian，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“"Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. I knew we would be best friends forever.(“当然，亲爱的，听起来很棒。” 我说，回想起我最好的朋友Lillian。我们住在纽约华盛顿高地的街对面。我们也是在10岁的时候认识的。和我女儿一样，我很害羞，但Lillian把我拉了出来。 她是学校里最友好的人之一，有着闪亮的黑发和灿烂的笑容。 我就知道我们会永远是最好的朋友)”结合文章讲述了作者的女儿Donna 是一个害羞的女孩，作者希望她能交一些朋友不要再害羞，一天Donna 要带朋友回家，这让作者想起了自己已故的朋友 Lillian。结果作者女儿的好友Laura竟然是作者去世的好友Lillian的侄女。可知，C选项“一个最好的朋友”最符合文章标题。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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It can be truly frightening to fall through ice on a frozen(结冰的)lake. ____16____ In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章讲述了掉进结冰的湖里应采取的自救措施。 【16题详解】 上文“It can be truly frightening to fall through ice on a frozen(结冰的)lake.（在结冰的湖面上掉进冰里真的很可怕。）”可知讲述掉到结冰的湖里真的很可怕；可知下文“In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.（事实上，帮助你生存的时间比你想象的要多。）”可知提到了帮助生存的时间比想象的多；选项B“However, if you remain calm, it can save your life.（然而，如果你保持冷静，它可以拯救你的生命。）”讲述的是掉到结冰的湖面时应该有的表现，承接了上文所述的掉进结冰的湖里的内容，并说明了掉进去之后应该如何做才能获得生存，即保持冷静，引出下文对于保持镇静后其实这里有比想象中多的时间来帮助获得生存的阐述；故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around.（记住控制你的呼吸，不要四处走动。）”可知提到了控制呼吸和不要四处走动，推知空处可能讲述的是控制呼吸和不要四出走动的好处；下文“This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, and ten minutes to move before you get too cold.（在你变得太冷之前这意味着大约需要一分钟来控制你的呼吸，需要十分钟来移动。）”可知提到了一分钟控制呼吸，十分钟移动；选项G“It can help to remember the “1-10-l rule”（它可以帮助记住“1-10-l 规则”）”讲述的是正是某种行为所带来的好处，即控制呼吸和不要四处走动可以帮助记住“1-10-l 规则”，承接了上文，同时引出下文对于这个规则的具体解释；故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“Take that first minute and fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can find the thickest area of ice. When you find the ice, spread out your arms over the surface, and then begin to flutter-kick(上下打水)until your body reaches the same level of the surface.（抓住第一分钟，全神贯注于你的呼吸。放慢速度，然后环顾四周，看看能否找到最厚的冰层。当你找到冰块的时候，把你的手臂伸展到冰面上，然后开始上下打水，直到你的身体到达冰面的同一高度。）”可知讲述的是在掉进结冰的湖里后用自己的肢体自救的方法；选项F“Kick hard and use your arms and hands to climb out of the water.（用力踢，用你的手臂和双手爬出水面。）”讲述的也是掉进结冰的湖里用自己的肢体自救的方法，承接了上文所述的内容，即当你的身体到达冰面的同一高度时用力踢，用手臂和双手爬出水面；故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out?（此外，如果你觉得太虚弱了，无法继续下去，走不出来怎么办？）”可知提到了出现太虚弱而无法继续进行自救的情况，推知空处讲述的是出现这种情况应该采取的保存体力的措施；下文“The point is to try to freeze your coat to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of ice.（关键是要尽量把你的外套冻在冰上，这样如果你失去了意识，你的头就不会被冻在冰上。）”可知在讲述某种情况下应该把外套冻在冰面上的好处；选项C“Place your arms over the surface of the ice and remain still.（把你的手臂放在冰面上并保持不动。）”可知讲述的正是保存体力的措施，即出现太虚弱而无法继续进行自救的情况，应该把手臂放在冰面上并保持不动，同时这也正是下文所描述的措施所适用的情况，即你要把外套放在冰面上，这样即使你动不了也不会把头给冻住；故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. You only have about 10 minutes before your body becomes too cold to do anything. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out?（有可能你昏倒后还能活几个小时。然而，这确实需要一些计划。你只有大约10分钟，在你的身体变得太冷而无法做任何事情之前。而且，如果你觉得太虚弱了，无法继续下去，无法脱身怎么办？）”可知前文讲述了在身体变冷之前应该做的事情以及出现虚弱不能自救的情况该采取的措施；选项A“Thus, you will remain visible, wait for someone to come, even if you pass out（以这种方式，你要保持你自己可被人看见，等待有人来，即使你昏倒了）”承接了前文所述内容，总结出了用前文所述的方式，来等待别人来救助，即使昏倒了也是如此，即做了前文所述的措施之后，要让自己保持被看见，然后就可以等待别人来救助了，选项A与前文构成逻辑顺序关系；故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Inspiration can be a strange thing.

They took responsibility for us, gave instructions, organized school activities, and proudly wore their badges(徽章) while carrying our school flag and walking on the playground. They represented us and gave speeches on school issues, becoming our role models. As I grew older, I finally can take part in the school elections. I prepared my election speech and on the day of the speeches, everyone voted. I was hopeful and prayed for a victory. However, the following morning when we gathered on the school grounds for the head-teacher’s announcement of the results, reality hit me hard. I realized that I had no chance of winning—was neither well known nor too pretty. I became depressed and felt as though I had no friends supporting me. Later that day, as I cried in my room, I took a deep breath and decided to change my attitude. I refused to see myself as a failure and made a determination to run for the school elections again the following year—this time, with a plan to win. I sat down at my study table and wrote down my thoughts. Although my competitors had certain advantages such as their stylish personalities, I recognized my own advantages—good grades, friendliness, helpfulness, and most importantly, my faith in myself to be a great leader. With a whole year ahead, I began to plan my election strategies that evening. To gain recognition(认可) and show my ability to represent my fellow students, I started making new friends and helping them at school. Besides, I attended a public speaking course to learn how to give a great election speech. By the time the elections came around, I was well-prepared, and I gave a passionate speech on the stage. 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。 The following day, I anxiously waited for the results. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had expected. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The following day, I anxiously waited for the results. Would my effort pay off? Would I achieve my goal of becoming one of the student leaders? When the principal eventually announced that I had been elected with the second-highest number of votes, I couldn’t help but jump up with excitement. With a bright smile, I walked up to the stage to loud cheers from my fellow students. Their joy showed me that my victory was not just mine, but theirs as well. Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had expected. In addition to being appointed as one of the student leaders, I had made numerous friends along the way who now saw me as someone always willing to lend a helping hand. While pursuing my dream, I had become a source of inspiration and hope for other students. By being myself, I had shown them that success would be achievable for anyone if they stuck to their goals, worked hard and believed in themselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文以竞选学生领袖为线索展开，讲述了作者从小就想成为一名学生领袖，在满怀信心参加竞选后，却惨遭失败。作者不气馁，继续努力，做好充足准备，团结同学，参加培训，第二年竞选成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我焦急地等待着结果。”可知，第一段可描写作者得到结果后的激动心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来，我意识到我所取得的成就远远超过了我的预期。”可知，第二段可描写作者成功当选之外的实际意义。 2.续写线索：宣布——当选——激动——欢呼——喜悦——交友助人——继续努力——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②当选：be elected/win an election ③实现：achieve/realize 情绪类 ①激动地：with excitement/passionately ②努力地：hard/diligently 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.” And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him. Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ” “It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. “They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.” “I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says. Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies. “I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.” 4. What do we learn from paragraph 2? A. School can never be fun. B. Connor is highly demanding. C. Connor’s students drive him crazy. D. Connor thinks education is for all. 5. What did Pat find out about Mr Connor? A. Mr Connor donated blood as well as his time. B. Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies. C. Mr Connor used to he a very strict teacher. D. Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy. 6. Which of the following is true about Mr. Connor? A. He works two shifts every day for a living. B. He has his alter ego in the eyes of his students all the time. C. He has the ability to connect with those kids he holds. D. He falls hard for those sick kids so he decided not to have his own. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Bonding with babies in need of love B. A real lesson is life through learning calculus C. Everybody keeps something under his hat D. Tough teacher has a soft heart To me, Shakespeare is a bit of a touchy subject in the theatre industry. I believe Shakespeare’s plays to be the most challenging in terms of language. When you have challenging language, then understanding the plot and topics discussed becomes a challenge as well. It’s like a chain. If you don’t understand it from the start, it makes things hard later on and people tend to give up on it. Regardless of all of this, I believe Shakespeare’s plays are important in the sense that they are where true theatre started. William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows regardless of whether you enjoy his work or not. Many high schools or colleges do at least one Shakespeare’s play every few years and I like that. I think it’s important to expose students to plays that are a bit more challenging than they’re used to. Of course, it’s not easy to understand these plays but then think about the people who act in those plays. When acting, you have to understand your character inside and out and not only that, but you need to completely know everything going on around you as well. So to understand the script is one thing, but then to take it to that next level in terms of acting in a Shakespeare’s play is a whole other thing. How about memorizing the lines? That’s one of the hardest things actors have said they had to get through. It is such heightened language that it’s almost like learning a foreign language. Shakespeare’s play is tough and that’s what I think I love about it the most. The challenge is understanding. Once you have that then you have room to play with it. Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare’s play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better. There is an immense amount of exploration and discovery in his plays and the experience can be really satisfying. It’s hard stuff, but it’s fascinating and we should be embracing it. 8. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The characteristics of Shakespeare’s plays. B. How to perform Shakespeare’s plays successfully. C. The importance and way of enjoying Shakespeare’s plays. D. How to understand the tough language of Shakespeare’s plays. 9. What’s the biggest challenge in understanding Shakespeare’s plays? A. The plot and topics. B. The challenging language. C. Understanding the characters. D. How to understand from the start. 10. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2? A. Outstanding and lively. B. Strange and mechanical. C. Complicated and difficult. D. High-leveled and interesting. 11. What does the writer suggest you do when enjoying Shakespeare’s plays? A. Act them out. B. Remember the lines in them. C. Learn Shakespeare’s language. D. Enjoy them with an open mind. My 10-year-old Donna said, "Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?" Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. "Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. I knew we would be best friends forever. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." she told me. But three days later, Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes. The next day Donna brought her new friend home. "Hi, Mrs. Loggia." the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. "My name is Laura." My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me, Lillian's sister, from Washington Heights." Yes, my daughter's friend looked familiar. She was Lillian's niece. 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined words in paragraph 2?

They took responsibility for us, gave instructions, organized school activities, and proudly wore their badges(徽章) while carrying our school flag and walking on the playground. They represented us and gave speeches on school issues, becoming our role models. As I grew older, I finally can take part in the school elections. I prepared my election speech and on the day of the speeches, everyone voted. I was hopeful and prayed for a victory. However, the following morning when we gathered on the school grounds for the head-teacher’s announcement of the results, reality hit me hard. I realized that I had no chance of winning—was neither well known nor too pretty. I became depressed and felt as though I had no friends supporting me. Later that day, as I cried in my room, I took a deep breath and decided to change my attitude. I refused to see myself as a failure and made a determination to run for the school elections again the following year—this time, with a plan to win. I sat down at my study table and wrote down my thoughts. Although my competitors had certain advantages such as their stylish personalities, I recognized my own advantages—good grades, friendliness, helpfulness, and most importantly, my faith in myself to be a great leader. With a whole year ahead, I began to plan my election strategies that evening. To gain recognition(认可) and show my ability to represent my fellow students, I started making new friends and helping them at school. Besides, I attended a public speaking course to learn how to give a great election speech. By the time the elections came around, I was well-prepared, and I gave a passionate speech on the stage. 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。 The following day, I anxiously waited for the results. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had expected. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CCCBA 6-10 ACCAA 11-15 BCBCA 16-20 BABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
