She surfs in competitions around the world. But life for her is queer with twists and turns. She has fought her way through ups and downs. And now she has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. Her story has become a major movie which is named Soul Surfer. On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not over the slightest sign of danger. That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast fugs (猛拽) . Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…” After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude. She determined to go back again. In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made (定制的) board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm. Just over a year after the attack, she took first place—winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe. She says that she has learned a lot about life, love, and being strong. However, although so many things have happened to her, she says she is still just a surfer. 36. What did Bethany say about the attack? A. It happened unexpectedly. B. It made her disappointed. C. It happened because of the strange waves. D. It occurred due to her unusual surfing gestures. 37. When Bethany started surfing again, she ________. A. adopted a wider board B. used her feet more C. couldn't paddle D. added two handles on the board 38.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了著名的职业冲浪运动员贝瑟尼·汉密尔顿在被虎鲨咬掉一条胳膊后，仍然坚持冲浪，并取得成功的励志故事。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not over the slightest sign of danger.” (贝瑟尼说：“这是突然发生的。我根本没有得到任何警告；没有丝毫危险的迹象。”)”可知，鲨鱼袭击是突然发生的，贝瑟尼没有得到任何警告，由此可知，这次袭击出乎意料地发生了。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Initially, she adopted a custom-made (定制的) board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.” (最初，她采用了一种定制的板，比标准板长，略厚，右臂有把手，更容易划水，她学会了踢更多的水来弥补左臂的损失。)”可知，她学会多用脚踢水来弥补左臂的损失，由此可知，当贝瑟尼再次开始冲浪时，她更多地使用脚。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.

(就在袭击发生一年多后，她获得了第一名，赢得了她的第一个全国冠军。现在，她与世界上最好的选手竞争，环游世界。)”可知，在经历了鲨鱼袭击和治疗痛苦后，她的决心让她重新开始冲浪，并获得了全国冠军，由此可知，我们能从这个故事中学到决心可以帮助人们克服困难。故选D项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“Bethany Hamilton is a famous professional surfer. She surfs in competitions around the world. But life for her is queer with twists and turns. She has fought her way through ups and downs.” (贝瑟尼·汉密尔顿是一位著名的职业冲浪运动员。她参加世界各地的冲浪比赛。但对她来说，生活充满了曲折。她经历了起起落落。)”可知，文章主要讲述了著名的职业冲浪运动员贝瑟尼·汉密尔顿在被虎鲨咬掉一条胳膊后，仍然坚持冲浪，并取得成功的励志故事，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是给我们讲一个鼓舞人心的故事。故选C项。 C The ancient Olympic Games were primarily ceremonies held in honour of Zeus (宙斯). The events took place in Olympia, Greece. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world. Women were not even allowed to watch the games. The first Olympics were organised in 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won a 600-foot-long foot race (竞走), the only event at that Olympics. This race remained the only athletic event at the first 13 Olympics, until 724 BC when a new foot race was added. The Olympics were held in Olympia every four years and became a splendid part of Ancient Greek culture for about 12 centuries. Although Olympia was the first place where the ancient Olympic Games were staged, it took about 1, 500 years for the Olympics to return. Pierre de Coubertin, who came from France, got the idea of resurrecting the Olympics in 1889. His idea was originally for educational purposes, but it was approved by the participating delegates (代表) of an international conference in Paris in 1894, and then the first modern Olympics were held two years later. Athens, the capital of Greece served as the first host. The marathon competition was first introduced among the 43 events at the 1896 Athens Olympics. The long-distance running is in memory of Pheidippides, an ancient messenger who is said to have run from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon. The long distance that Pheidippides ran and his death is the source of the modern marathon, a symbol of endurance and spirit in sport. Today the marathon has become an important event for Olympic Games and other independent long-distance running competitions in modern society. The distance of 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km) was first used at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, measured between the starting-point at Windsor Castle and the finish at White City Stadium, and was later adopted as the standard in 1921. 41. Which of the following is true about the ancient Olympic Games? A. Koroibos was the first winner of the ancient Olympic Games. B. People from all areas of the Greek world could join the Olympics. C. The Olympics were originally held by Zeus, according to Greek Myth. D. Before 724 BC, the athletes could attend two types of races in the Olympics. 42. What is the meaning of the underlined word “resurrecting” in Paragraph 3? A. Taking up. B. Setting out. C. Turning down. D. Bringing back. 43. What had happened before the international conference in Paris in 1894? A. The tradition of having the Olympic Games had been long lost. B. The Olympic Games had been held in Olympia for 1500 years. C. Athens served as the host city of the first modern Olympics. D. Pierre de Coubertin asked to organize the Olympic Games in Paris. 44. What do we know about the marathon from the article? A. The distance Pheidippides ran was 42.195 kilometres. B. The marathon was one of the 43 ancient Olympic events. C. Marathon competitions are not just held in the Olympics. D. The marathon aims at memorizing a battle Greek army won. 45. Who are the intended readers of this article? A. People who like to read news on education. B. People who are interested in sports history. C. People who want to learn about Greek culture. D. People who hope to participate in the Olympics. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥运会的发展历史和比赛项目等。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first Olympics were organised in 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won a 600-foot-long foot race (竞走), the only event at that Olympics. (第一届奥运会于公元前776年举办，当时来自附近城市埃利斯的厨师科罗伊博斯赢得了一场600英尺长的竞走比赛，这是那届奥运会上唯一的比赛)”可知，第一届奥运会只有一项比赛，科罗伊博斯赢得了比赛。由此可知，科罗伊博斯是古代奥林匹克运动会的第一位获胜者。故选A项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“His idea was originally for educational purposes, but it was approved by the participating delegates (代表) of an international conference in Paris in 1894, and then the first modern Olympics were held two years later. Athens, the capital of Greece served as the first host. (他的想法最初是出于教育目的，但1894年在巴黎举行的一次国际会议的与会代表批准了这一想法，两年后举行了第一届现代奥运会。希腊首都雅典是第一个东道主)”可知，巴黎举行的一次国际会议批准了他的想法，两年后举行了第一届现代奥运会。由此可知，他的想法是复兴停止多年的奥运会，“Bringing back”意为“恢复（某事物）”，能够表达划线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although Olympia was the first place where the ancient Olympic Games were staged, it took about 1,500 years for the Olympics to return. (虽然奥林匹亚是古代奥运会的第一个举办地，但奥运会大约花了1500年才得以回归)”可知，奥运会大约花了1500年才得以回归。由此可知，1894年巴黎国际会议之前，举办奥运会的传统早已失传。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today the marathon has become an important event for Olympic Games and other independent long-distance running competitions in modern society. (如今，马拉松已成为现代社会奥运会和其他独立长跑比赛的重要项目)”可知，马拉松是现代社会奥运会和其他独立长跑比赛的重要项目。由此可知，马拉松比赛不仅在奥运会期间举行。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“The ancient Olympic Games were primarily ceremonies held in honour of Zeus (宙斯). (古代奥运会主要是为纪念宙斯而举行的仪式)”和第二段关键句“The first Olympics were organised in 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won a 600-foot-long foot race (竞走), the only event at that Olympics. (第一届奥运会于公元前776年举办，当时来自附近城市埃利斯的厨师科罗伊博斯赢得了一场600英尺长的竞走比赛，这是那届奥运会上唯一的比赛)”可知，文章主要介绍了奥运会的发展历史。由此推知，这篇文章的目标读者是对体育史感兴趣的人。故选B项。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 At a comedy night at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, members of the school’s Stand-up Comedy Club (单口喜剧俱乐部) bring lots of laughter to their schoolmates. They give funny speeches, tell jokes and make humorous body movements. These college student comedians may feel unsure of themselves at first, but the experience is highly enjoyable. Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. Ariella Shua joined the club last year. She says she has become a better observer of what is going on around her. She does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes. Later, when she’s trying to write her own set, she can look through it to see if there is anything that she can use. Every school wants its students to perform best in their studies, but some colleges and universities also motivate their students to explore their abilities and develop interests beyond their field of study. Joining an on-campus club is a good way to do that. Nicholas Scandura, the president of the comedy club, finds that writing is one of the many skills he has developed since joining the club. “Writing jokes is really fun,” he said. “It takes much critical thinking.” The club gives its members a sense of community. When they meet, they share funny experiences, tell jokes and laugh. Over the past ten years, stand-up comedy clubs have become common on college campuses in America. He said now everyone wants to do it because the culture of stand-up has gotten a lot of media attention and become more popular. Last year, Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered it was a natural fit. Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world. Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he will need as a medical doctor. “When talking to patients as a doctor, I think that having jokes ready to go might help smooth these interactions.” he said. 46. According to the passage, what is the contribution of the student comedians at Johns Hopkins University? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. Why does Ariella Shua try to take notes wherever she goes? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word) ? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. How will the club experience benefit Harry Kuperstein’s with his future career? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. Do you think laughter plays an essential role in your life? Please explain it. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. 47. Because she can record what is going on around her. 48. Inspire. 49. Having jokes ready to go will help communicate with patients. 50. Yes, I do. Because laughter not only allows me to face life optimistically, but also gives me the courage to overcome difficulties. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一所高校的单口喜剧俱乐部，并介绍了俱乐部给成员带来的帮助。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段关键句“Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. (他们的幽默逗乐了同学们，并帮助缓解了这些年轻、忙碌的观众的压力。)”可知，约翰·霍普金斯大学的学生喜剧演员们用他们的幽默逗乐了同学们，并帮助缓解了这些年轻、忙碌的观众的压力，由此可知，约翰·霍普金斯大学学生喜剧演员的贡献是“他们的幽默逗乐了同学们，并帮助缓解了这些年轻、忙碌的观众的压力。”故答案为Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段关键句“Ariella Shua joined the club last year. She says she has become a better observer of what is going on around her. She does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes. (Ariella Shua去年加入了俱乐部。她说，她对周围发生的事情有了更好的观察。她无论去哪里都带上可以记笔记的东西。)”可知，她记笔记是为了记录下周围发生的事情，由此可知，Ariella Shua无论走到哪里都要记笔记是为了记录下周围发生的事情。故答案为Because she can record what is going on around her. 【48题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据划线单词句中“develop interests beyond their field of study (培养学习领域之外的兴趣)”可知，学校也会培养学生学习领域之外的兴趣，由此可知，一些学校也激励学生探索自己的能力，“inspire”意为“激励”，能够表达划线单词motivate在句中表达的意思。故答案为Inspire。 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段关键句““When talking to patients as a doctor, I think that having jokes ready to go might help smooth these interactions.” he said. (他说：‘作为一名医生与患者交谈时，我认为准备好笑话可能有助于使这些互动更加顺畅。’)”可知，准备好笑话可能有助于和病人的互动更加顺畅，由此可知，俱乐部的经历对哈里·库珀斯坦未来的职业生涯的帮助在于“准备好笑话帮助他与病人的互动更加顺畅”。故答案为Having jokes ready to go will help communicate with patients. 【50题详解】 考查开放题。本题为开放性试题，答案合理即可，可参考文中内容，例如“Yes, I do. Because laughter not only allows me to face life optimistically, but also gives me the courage to overcome difficulties. (是的，我这样认为。因为微笑不仅能够让我乐观面对生活，而且让我拥有克服困难的勇气。)”。故答案为Yes, I do. Because laughter not only allows me to face life optimistically, but also gives me the courage to overcome difficulties. 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 51. 假设你是某国际学校的学生会主席李华。你将要在学校体育节的开幕式上发言，倡议大家积极参加体育活动。请你用英语写一篇发言稿，内容包括： （1）你的倡议； （2）体育节的内容； （3）体育节的意义。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Hello, everyone! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That's all.

But life for her is queer with twists and turns. She has fought her way through ups and downs. And now she has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith determination and hope. Her story has become a major movie which is named Soul Surfer. On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not over the slightest sign of danger. That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast fugs (猛拽) . Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…” After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude. She determined to go back again. In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made (定制的) board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm. Just over a year after the attack, she took first place—winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe. She says that she has learned a lot about life, love, and being strong. However, although so many things have happened to her, she says she is still just a surfer. 36. What did Bethany say about the attack? A. It happened unexpectedly. B. It made her disappointed. C. It happened because of the strange waves. D. It occurred due to her unusual surfing gestures. 37. When Bethany started surfing again, she ________. A. adopted a wider board B. used her feet more C. couldn't paddle D. added two handles on the board 38. Which of the following word can best describe Hamilton? A. Cruel. B. Honest. C. Strong-willed. D. Strict. 39. What can we learn from the story? A. Bad news travels fast. B. Smiles brighten people up. C. People should respect the order of nature D. Determination can help people overcome difficulties. 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a movie. B. To explain the danger of surfing. C. To tell us an encouraging story. D. To inform the readers about shark attacks. C The ancient Olympic Games were primarily ceremonies held in honour of Zeus (宙斯). The events took place in Olympia, Greece. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world. Women were not even allowed to watch the games. The first Olympics were organised in 776 BC when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won a 600-foot-long foot race (竞走), the only event at that Olympics. This race remained the only athletic event at the first 13 Olympics, until 724 BC when a new foot race was added. The Olympics were held in Olympia every four years and became a splendid part of Ancient Greek culture for about 12 centuries. Although Olympia was the first place where the ancient Olympic Games were staged, it took about 1, 500 years for the Olympics to return. Pierre de Coubertin, who came from France, got the idea of resurrecting the Olympics in 1889. His idea was originally for educational purposes, but it was approved by the participating delegates (代表) of an international conference in Paris in 1894, and then the first modern Olympics were held two years later. Athens, the capital of Greece served as the first host. The marathon competition was first introduced among the 43 events at the 1896 Athens Olympics. The long-distance running is in memory of Pheidippides, an ancient messenger who is said to have run from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon. The long distance that Pheidippides ran and his death is the source of the modern marathon, a symbol of endurance and spirit in sport. Today the marathon has become an important event for Olympic Games and other independent long-distance running competitions in modern society. The distance of 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km) was first used at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, measured between the starting-point at Windsor Castle and the finish at White City Stadium, and was later adopted as the standard in 1921. 41. Which of the following is true about the ancient Olympic Games? A. Koroibos was the first winner of the ancient Olympic Games. B. People from all areas of the Greek world could join the Olympics. C. The Olympics were originally held by Zeus, according to Greek Myth. D. Before 724 BC, the athletes could attend two types of races in the Olympics. 42. What is the meaning of the underlined word “resurrecting” in Paragraph 3? A. Taking up. B. Setting out. C. Turning down. D. Bringing back. 43.

They give funny speeches, tell jokes and make humorous body movements. These college student comedians may feel unsure of themselves at first, but the experience is highly enjoyable. Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. Ariella Shua joined the club last year. She says she has become a better observer of what is going on around her. She does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes. Later, when she’s trying to write her own set, she can look through it to see if there is anything that she can use. Every school wants its students to perform best in their studies, but some colleges and universities also motivate their students to explore their abilities and develop interests beyond their field of study. Joining an on-campus club is a good way to do that. Nicholas Scandura, the president of the comedy club, finds that writing is one of the many skills he has developed since joining the club. “Writing jokes is really fun,” he said. “It takes much critical thinking.” The club gives its members a sense of community. When they meet, they share funny experiences, tell jokes and laugh. Over the past ten years, stand-up comedy clubs have become common on college campuses in America. He said now everyone wants to do it because the culture of stand-up has gotten a lot of media attention and become more popular. Last year, Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered it was a natural fit. Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world. Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he will need as a medical doctor. “When talking to patients as a doctor, I think that having jokes ready to go might help smooth these interactions.” he said. 46.
