He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34. What do we know about Midas? A. He was happy to eat golden food. B. He worked hard to get gold. C. He was afraid of his daughter. D. He showed great interest in gold. 35. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up. C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others. 36. Why did Portia feel very pleased when Bassanio opened the box? A. Because Bassanio didn’t like gold, silver or jewels. B. Because Bassanio didn’t read the writing on the box. C. Because she hoped to become the wife of Bassanio. D. Because she thought the picture in the box was perfect. 37. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture C. The things in the boxes D. Tricked by appearances 【答案】34. D 35. B 36. C 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了巴萨尼奥在选择箱子时的故事，他拒绝了华丽的金银箱，选择了朴素的铅箱，最终赢得了波西亚的芳心。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much.”（然后，巴萨尼奥想起了弥达斯的故事，那个对金子太着迷的人。）可知，弥达斯对金子很感兴趣。故选D。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Many people who seem brave are really cowards.”（许多看起来勇敢的人其实是懦夫。）可知，懦夫在面对困难时会表现出恐惧和放弃，而不是寻找解决办法或向他人求助。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife.”（箱子里的文字告诉他，他选对了箱子。上面写着他应该去找波西亚，看着她的眼睛。她会成为他的妻子。）以及“Bassanio could not believe it. ‘Is it really true?’ he asked. ‘Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.’”（巴萨尼奥不敢相信。“这是真的吗？”他问。“你真的会成为我的妻子吗？在你说之前，我都不敢相信。”）可知，波西亚希望成为巴萨尼奥的妻子，所以当巴萨尼奥打开箱子看到她的画像时，她非常高兴。故选C。 【37题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，特别是根据第三段中的“No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color.”（不，我不想要这些漂亮的金银箱子。我要选择那个颜色普通的铅箱。）和最后一段中的“The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box.”（箱子里的文字告诉他，他选对了箱子。）可知，本文主要讲述了巴萨尼奥选择铅箱的故事，因此A项“巴萨尼奥和铅箱”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 C My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box. We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom. I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day. These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids. Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor. 38. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph? A. Now he collects ornaments for all of us. B. Now he makes some cookies for all of us. C. Now he takes away the rubbish for all of us. D. Now he writes thank-you notes for all of us. 39. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? a. We first met Tom and Gee. b. Gee gave Christmas ornaments to the kids. c. Tom fought in the war. d. I made some cookies to thank Tom. e. We wrote a letter to Gee. A. acdeb B. abcde C. acdbe D. cabed 40. What can we infer from the passage? A. The kids are excited to see the cartoon characters. B. Neighbors didn’t help Gee when Tom wasn’t at home. C. The writer plans to move because Tom passed away. D. The writer doesn’t want to leave the neighborhood. 41. What could be the best title of this passage? A. A nice couple B. What it really means to be a neighbor C. An unusual experience D. What an elderly man does for us 【答案】38. C 39. A 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者的邻居Tom经常给他们扔垃圾，后来Tom不在自己的妻子Gee身边的时候，同一社区的人经常会帮助Gee清理垃圾，后来Tom去世，作者一家也要搬走了，Gee把自己和Tom一起收集的装饰品都送给了作者一家。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who.”可推测，Tom帮助我们带走了垃圾，选项C“现在他为我们所有人拿走垃圾”符合语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage.”可知，我们第一次见到Tom和Gee是在结婚初期；根据第三段中“I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining he had been fighting a war…”可知，在我去送饼干之前，Tom就已经去参加战争了；根据第四段中“A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him.”可知，几年后，我们给Tom的妻子Gee写信；根据第一段中“My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece.”可知，Gee最后把圣诞装饰品送给孩子们，本文是倒序，且此句是一般现在时，所以排在最后发生。故顺序为：acdeb。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Jim and I agree to wait until January.”可知，Jim和我同意等到一月份再搬走，因此作者不想离开这里。故选D。 【41题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了邻里之间互相帮助的事情，因此B选项“做邻居真正意味着什么”最适合做标题。故选B。 D According to Gallup’s annual Emotions report, people all over the world are more stressed than ever before. Nearly 40 percent of adults from 146 countries reported having experienced worry or stress the day before the survey was carried out. And it isn’t just adults experiencing these high stress levels; experts have also found a rise in the number of children and youth. According to another study published in EurekAlert, one in five students are so stressed, they’ve considered self-harm. The huge stress they face has been proven to be harmful to their health. Stress can cause worry, anger, depression, self-harming behavior and some other problems. So how can we fight it? It might sound easier said than done, but studies have shown that the best way to deal with stress is to change your beliefs about it. The University of Wisconsin carried out a study of 30,000 Americans. Researchers asked them how much stress they had experienced in the past year and whether they believed stress was harming their health. The researchers concluded that people in the study who were facing huge stress and viewed the stress as harmful had 43 percent higher risk of dying than people who viewed stress as a helpful reply. More interestingly, those with more active beliefs about stress had the lowest risk of death out of all the people in the study, even lower than those experiencing very little stress. A separate study carried out by researchers from King’s College London and the University of Marburg showed students with more inactive beliefs about stress felt uncomfortable. They experienced headaches and tiredness during a stressful exam period, compared with students who had more inactive beliefs about stress. These two studies have proven that stress itself is not bad in fact. It is the belief that stress is bad that is bad. So stress harms your health if you think it does. 42. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To express the main idea. B. To show the writing order. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic. 43. The underlined word “depression” in Paragraph 2 means the state of ________. A. feeling very happy B. feeling quite confident C. feeling very sad D. feeling quite worried 44. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 7 refers to ________. A. researchers from the University of Wisconsin B. researchers from King’s College London C. students with more active beliefs about stress D. students with more inactive beliefs about stress 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Stress itself is not bad but helpful B. Stress harms your health if you think it does C. People are much more stressed than ever before D. Adults and children are experiencing high stress levels 【答案】42. D 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了压力本身并不坏，认为压力有害才是有害的，如果你认为压力有害，那么它就会危害你的健康。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to Gallup’s annual Emotions report, people all over the world are more stressed than ever before. Nearly 40 percent of adults from 146 countries reported having experienced worry or stress the day before the survey was carried out.”可知，第一段引用了盖洛普的年度情绪报告，介绍了全世界的人比以往任何时候都更有压力，目的是为了引出本文的主题——压力。故选D。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Stress can cause worry, anger,”以及后文“self-harming behavior and some other problems”可知，压力会导致担忧、愤怒……自残行为和其他一些问题，由此可推知，画线词意思与“担忧、愤怒”相近且为负面情绪的词，即“悲伤的”。故选C。 【44题详解】 词义指代题。根据第七段“A separate study carried out by researchers from King’s College London and the University of Marburg showed students with more inactive beliefs about stress felt uncomfortable. They experienced headaches and tiredness during a stressful exam period, compared with students who had more inactive beliefs about stress.”可知，画线词指代上文提到的“对压力持更消极态度的学生”，即“students with more inactive beliefs about stress”。故选D。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。根据最后一段“These two studies have proven that stress itself is not bad in fact. It is the belief that stress is bad that is bad. So stress harms your health if you think it does.”可知，文章主要说明的是认为压力有害才是有害的，如果你认为压力有害，那么它就会危害你的健康。B选项“如果你认为压力有害，它就会危害你的健康”符合文章标题。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题； 每小题，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。(每空一词) 46. The two communities live together in ________. (和平) 【答案】peace 【解析】 【详解】句意：这两个社区和平共处。in peace为固定短语，意为“和平地”，故填peace。 47. Billy seems to have difficulty ________ the new words. (发音) 【答案】pronouncing 【解析】 【详解】句意：比利在发新单词的音上似乎有困难。发音pronounce，动词；have difficulty (in) doing sth.在做某事上有困难，固定搭配，故填pronouncing。 48. Do you believe Mr. Johnson had a long criminal ________ (记录)? 【答案】record 【解析】 【详解】句意：你相信约翰逊先生有长期的犯罪记录吗？结合“a long criminal…”及汉语提示可知，此处应用名词“record”的单数形式，作宾语从句中的宾语。故填record。 49. So far, we’ve ________ in saving thousands of people in danger. (成功) 【答案】succeeded 【解析】 【详解】句意：到目前为止，我们已经成功地拯救了成千上万处于危险中的人。have done sth.意为“已经做了某事”，是现在完成时的结构。“成功”的动词形式是succeed，其过去分词形式为succeeded。故填succeeded。 50. He is the ________ teacher I have ever met. But I like him a lot. (严格) 【答案】strictest 【解析】 【详解】句意：他是我见过的最严格的老师。但是我很喜欢他。根据汉语提示与“the”可知，此处应用形容词最高级，strictest，意为“最严格的”。故填strictest。 51. Can you write down all the ________ names? (German) 【答案】Germans’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：你能写下所有德国人的名字吗？German德国人，名词。结合提示词和题干可知，本题应使用名词所有格形式表示“德国人的名字”，又因为all表示“所有的”，所以此处应用复数名词的所有格形式Germans’，意为“德国人的”。故填Germans’。 52. Don’t be so ________! The bus will be here soon. (patient) 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：别这么不耐烦！公交车很快就到了。patient“耐心的”，形容词；根据“The bus will be here soon.”可知，此处指别这么不耐心；impatient“不耐心的”，形容词作表语。故填impatient。 53. He has become a famous doctor in his ________. (twenty) 【答案】twenties 【解析】 【详解】句意：他在二十几岁时就成为了一名著名的医生。twenty二十，基数词；in one’s twenties在某人二十几岁时，固定搭配，故填twenties。 54. The teacher told us that the earth ________ around the sun. (move) 【答案】moves 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师告诉我们地球绕着太阳转。空格是宾语从句的谓语，从句表达的是客观事实，所以时态不受主句影响，直接用一般现在时，主语是“the earth”，所以谓语动词用三单形式。故填moves。 55. Tony made many mistakes in his homework because he did it ________ (careless). 【答案】carelessly 【解析】 【详解】句意：托尼在作业中犯了很多错误，因为他做作业很粗心。此空修饰动词did，应填副词carelessly“粗心地”，故填carelessly。 六、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 阅读并回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 “What should I we call you?” I asked. “My name is Captain Nemo,” he told us. “The name of my ship is Nautilus.” Captain Nemo showed me the library, the art gallery and the engine room. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “It must have cost a fortune!” “Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!” Ned Land and Conseil were as amazed at the ship as I was, but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment. A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea. When returned to the Nautilus, we were tired but amazed by what we had seen during the trip. It was an amazing experience. When we entered the Torres Strait, the Nautilus hit a reef and stopped. We had to wait for the high tide to lift the Nautilus off the reef. We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island. We were excited. When we returned to the island the next day, we were attacked by savages. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock. One day, Captain Nemo asked me to follow him to another room and help one of his men. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it. “What happened?” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” “He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave. We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape. 56. What does the underlined word “fortune” mean in English? ______________________________ 57. What does the underlined “it” refer to? ______________________________ 58. Why did the savages fall back and run away when they put their hands on the rail? ______________________________ 59. According to the passage, how many times did “I” leave the Nautilus? ______________________________ 60. What do you think of Captain Nemo according to this passage? ______________________________ 【答案】56. A large amount of money./(A lot of ) Money./Much money./Millions of dollars. 57. To escape./(Trying) to find a way to escape. 58. (Because) Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail./Because they received an electric shock. 59. Three (times). 60. Rich, clever, and cared for his men. (Any reasonable answer is OK) 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者一行人和船长Nemo周游海底的故事。 【56题详解】 根据“‘It must have cost a fortune!’ ‘Millions of dollars,’ he replied.”可知，此处划线部分fortune指一大笔钱。故填A large amount of money./(A lot of ) Money./Much money./Millions of dollars. 【57题详解】 根据“but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment.”可知，Ned一直想要逃跑，我告诉他现在不是想这个的时候，此处it指代上文提到的“trying to find a way to escape”。故填To escape./(Trying) to find a way to escape. 【58题详解】 根据“When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock.”可知，当他们把手放在栏杆上时他们都向后倒了然后逃跑了，因为Nemo船长给铁轨通了电，任何触碰它的人都会受到电击。故填(Because) Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail./Because they received an electric shock. 【59题详解】 根据“A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea”“We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island.”及“We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks.”可知，作者一共离开Nautilus三次故填Three (times). 【60题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为：Rich, clever, and cared for his men. 七、缺词填空（共10空；每空，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） The sun was dropping down the mountains far away.

Achieving what you e____69____ is not the most important thing. A____70____you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way. It is true that not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way. 【答案】61. failed 62. late 63. another 64. dream 65. mountain 66. nature 67. made 68. enough 69. expect 70. Although 【解析】 【分析】本文主要介绍了Tom爬山没有爬到山顶，哭着回到家，爸爸妈妈问他哭的原因，通过他们的对话，说明了一个道理：不是每个人的目标都能实现，也不是每个人的工作都能成功。有时候，过程比结果更重要。 【61题详解】 根据The mountain was so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still went ahead可知，Tom没有爬到山顶，他爬山失败了。故答案为failed。 【62题详解】 根据前面The sun was dropping down the mountains far away可知，天晚了。故答案为late。 【63题详解】 句意：没什么。你还有另外的机会。另外的是another。故答案为another。 【64题详解】 句意：但是站在山顶是我的梦想。梦想是dream.故答案为dream。 【65题详解】 根据前面的描述，本题考查on the way to the mountain（在去山上的路上）。故答案为mountain。 【66题详解】 根据回答the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers m ____7____a nice picture此处指the beauty of nature(大自然的美丽)。故答案为nature。 【67题详解】 句意：蓝天白云，绿色的树和各种颜色的花织成了一幅美丽的图画。制成是make，此处用一般过去时。故答案为made。 【68题详解】 句意：那就足够了。足够的是enough。故答案为enough。 【69题详解】 句意：实现你盼望的并不是最重要的事。盼望是expect。故答案为expect。 【70题详解】 本题前后句是转折关系，首句用although引导。故答案为Although 八、书面表达（计30分） A. 根据中文意思，完成下列句子，词数不限。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 71. 当你难以做决定时，红色可以帮助你。 ____________________________________________ 【答案】Red can help when you have difficulty making a decision./Red can help you when you have difficulty in making a decision. 【解析】 【详解】这是“when”引导的时间状语从句。句子是一般现在时。主句的主语是“red”，表达“可以”用情态动词“can”，后接动词原形“help”表示“帮助”，宾语是“你”，翻译为“you”。宾语可省去。从句的主语是“you”，表达“难以做某事”用短语“have difficulty (in) doing”,“in” 可省去。表达“做决定”用动词短语“making a decision”。故填Red can help when you have difficulty making a decision./Red can help you when you have difficulty in making a decision. 72. 妈妈想知道儿子是否将参加学校足球队的选拔。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mother wonders whether/if her son will try out for the school football team. 【解析】 【详解】妈妈：mother；想知道：wonder；儿子：son；是否：whether/if；将：will；参加……的选拔：try out for...；学校足球队：the school football team。分析中文可知，英文译句是whether或if引导的宾语从句；结合语境可知，主句时态可用一般现在时，从句时态是一般将来时，主句主语mother表示单数，所以动词wonder要变成第三人称单数形式wonders；从句可用her son“她的儿子”作主语。故填Mother wonders whether/if her son will try out for the school football team. 73. 很多我的同龄人不知道如何处理这个问题。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Many people of my age don’t know how to deal with the problem. 【解析】 【详解】很多我的同龄人：many people of my age；知道：know；如何处理这个问题：how to deal with the problem。此处为否定句，结合语境可知，句子为一般现在时，主语Many people of my age为复数，故此处应用do+not，即don’t表否定，放于谓语动词know前面。故填Many people of my age don’t know how to deal with the problem. 74. 扬州很美，值得一游。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Yangzhou is so beautiful that it is worth a visit. / Yangzhou is so beautiful that it is worth visiting. / Yangzhou is very beautiful and it is worth a visit. / Yangzhou is very beautiful and it is worth visiting. 【解析】 【详解】“扬州”Yangzhou；“很美”very beautiful/so beautiful；“值得一游”be worth visiting/be worth a visit；分析句子结构可知，此句可用“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句表示“如此……以至于……”，也可用and连接的并列句表示“并且”。故填Yangzhou is so beautiful that it is worth a visit./ Yangzhou is so beautiful that it is worth visiting./ Yangzhou is very beautiful and it is worth a visit./ Yangzhou is very beautiful and it is worth visiting. 75. 令我惊讶的是，他已经决定死后捐献遗体供医学研究。 ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death. 【解析】 【详解】to my surprise“使我吃惊的是”；he“他”；decide to do sth.“决定去做某事”；donate his body for medical research“捐献他的遗体供医学研究”；after his death“在他死后”；根据语境可知用现在完成时，主语是he，其结构是has done。故填To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death.

He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34. What do we know about Midas? A. He was happy to eat golden food. B. He worked hard to get gold. C. He was afraid of his daughter. D. He showed great interest in gold. 35. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up. C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others. 36. Why did Portia feel very pleased when Bassanio opened the box? A. Because Bassanio didn’t like gold, silver or jewels. B. Because Bassanio didn’t read the writing on the box. C. Because she hoped to become the wife of Bassanio. D. Because she thought the picture in the box was perfect. 37. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture C. The things in the boxes D. Tricked by appearances C My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box. We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom. I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day. These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids. Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor. 38. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph? A. Now he collects ornaments for all of us. B. Now he makes some cookies for all of us. C. Now he takes away the rubbish for all of us. D. Now he writes thank-you notes for all of us. 39. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? a. We first met Tom and Gee. b. Gee gave Christmas ornaments to the kids. c. Tom fought in the war. d. I made some cookies to thank Tom. e. We wrote a letter to Gee. A. acdeb B. abcde C. acdbe D. cabed 40. What can we infer from the passage? A. The kids are excited to see the cartoon characters. B. Neighbors didn’t help Gee when Tom wasn’t at home. C. The writer plans to move because Tom passed away. D. The writer doesn’t want to leave the neighborhood. 41. What could be the best title of this passage? A A nice couple B. What it really means to be a neighbor C. An unusual experience D. What an elderly man does for us D According to Gallup’s annual Emotions report, people all over the world are more stressed than ever before. Nearly 40 percent of adults from 146 countries reported having experienced worry or stress the day before the survey was carried out. And it isn’t just adults experiencing these high stress levels; experts have also found a rise in the number of children and youth. According to another study published in EurekAlert, one in five students are so stressed, they’ve considered self-harm. The huge stress they face has been proven to be harmful to their health. Stress can cause worry, anger, depression, self-harming behavior and some other problems. So how can we fight it? It might sound easier said than done, but studies have shown that the best way to deal with stress is to change your beliefs about it. The University of Wisconsin carried out a study of 30,000 Americans. Researchers asked them how much stress they had experienced in the past year and whether they believed stress was harming their health. The researchers concluded that people in the study who were facing huge stress and viewed the stress as harmful had 43 percent higher risk of dying than people who viewed stress as a helpful reply. More interestingly, those with more active beliefs about stress had the lowest risk of death out of all the people in the study, even lower than those experiencing very little stress. A separate study carried out by researchers from King’s College London and the University of Marburg showed students with more inactive beliefs about stress felt uncomfortable. They experienced headaches and tiredness during a stressful exam period, compared with students who had more inactive beliefs about stress. These two studies have proven that stress itself is not bad in fact. It is the belief that stress is bad that is bad. So stress harms your health if you think it does. 42. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To express the main idea. B. To show the writing order. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic. 43. The underlined word “depression” in Paragraph 2 means the state of ________. A. feeling very happy B. feeling quite confident C feeling very sad D. feeling quite worried 44. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 7 refers to ________. A. researchers from the University of Wisconsin B. researchers from King’s College London C. students with more active beliefs about stress D. students with more inactive beliefs about stress 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Stress itself is not bad but helpful B. Stress harms your health if you think it does C. People are much more stressed than ever before D. Adults and children are experiencing high stress levels 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题； 每小题，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。(每空一词) 46. The two communities live together in ________. (和平) 47.

I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment. A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea. When returned to the Nautilus, we were tired but amazed by what we had seen during the trip. It was an amazing experience. When we entered the Torres Strait, the Nautilus hit a reef and stopped. We had to wait for the high tide to lift the Nautilus off the reef. We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island. We were excited. When we returned to the island the next day, we were attacked by savages. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock. One day, Captain Nemo asked me to follow him to another room and help one of his men. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it. “What happened?” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” “He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave. We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape. 56.
