His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They live a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there. One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward(安排一个三等病房) for me, please.” “Can’t anybody help you?”. “No, madam, ” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s nu n and she’s poor, too. ” “I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know! ” “Well, then,” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill(账单) to my brother-in-law.” 36.

The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite(套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House. Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain. Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn’t take that.” The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?” “I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm(表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back,” the President said. The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.” “Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives(众议院) gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over.” Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I’ll take this and leave everything else.” Coolidge, knowing there was $ 80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill. Coolidge added up the room rate(费用) and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan. He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered. 41. What caused the thief to meet the President? A. He knew the President had lots of money. B. He knew the President lived in the suite. C. He wanted to be a rich businessman. D. He wanted to steal some money. 42. Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days? A. Because the former President was still living in the White House. B. Because the former First Lady hadn’t left the White House. C. Because the First Lady liked to live there. D. Because he liked there. 43. Coolidge counted out $32 ________. A. in order not to be killed by the thief B. in order to be out of danger C. so as to help the young student overcome his difficulty D. because he had no more money 44. The young man’s roommate went back to the college ________. A. by air. B. by water C. by bus D. by train 45. Which of the following might happen afterwards? A. The young student repaid the $32. B. The thief was put into prison. C. The President told many reporters the thief’s name. D. The President ordered the young man to repay the money. 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个小偷闯进了美国总统Calvin Coolidge的酒店套房偷东西，Calvin Coolidge了解情况后主动给了他钱并帮助他逃跑。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.(他告诉总统，他和大学室友在度假期间超支，没有足够的钱支付酒店账单。)”可知，这个小偷因为没钱支付酒店账单才来总统的房间里偷东西，他想要偷一些钱。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.(前总统的妻子仍住在白宫。)”可知，由于前第一夫人还没有搬离白宫，所以最近Calvin Coolidge一直住在酒店。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Coolidge added up the room rate(费用) and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.(Coolidge把房费和两张回学校的火车票加起来。然后他数出32美元，说这是一笔借款。)”可推出，Coolidge数出32美元，帮助这个小偷支付房费和火车票，由此可推测出，他这么做是为了帮助这个小偷渡过难关。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Coolidge added up the room rate(费用) and two rail tickets back to the college. (Coolidge把房费和两张回学校的火车票加起来。)”可知，Coolidge给了他们坐火车的钱，所以他们是乘火车回学校的。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.(然后他数出32美元，说这是一笔借款。)”和最后一段“He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.(然后，他告诉年轻人：“走廊里有个警卫。”年轻人点了点头，从他进来的那扇窗户离开了。)”可知，Coolidge给了年轻人32美元并说这钱算是借给他的，然后放年轻人离开了，由此可推测出，后来这位年轻人将这32美元还给了Coolidge。故选A。 C This week is National Volunteer Week, a time for the Canadian Red Cross to recognize our dedicated (有奉献精神的) volunteers who devote their time and talents from coast to coast. Over the course of the week we will use this blog to share stories about our volunteers and the amazing work they do — a small part of the outstanding individuals across the country. Take Saskatchewan for example. Last year that province was hit by wide-spread flooding, a hurricane and forest fires. Canadian Red Cross staff and volunteers went to work right away and helped more than 2, 100 adults and 775 children recover the basic necessities of life. It’s important to share stories from volunteers to truly appreciate what they do. Christine Hoffman is a Disaster Response Volunteer in Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan. She’s a veteran Red Crosser for about 16 years. Still nothing could have prepared her for the call she took in the Recovery Center last year in response to flooding in Maple Greek. This story is best told in her own words. This is what she said: “I will never forget the first phone call I took in the Recovery Centre. A young man called asking what services Red Cross was offering in town. As we were talking, he told me he had a rope in his backyard but he thought he would be using it for other reasons. My heart stopped. I told him to come to see us so we could work together on a plan to improve his situation. He came in a little while later. Nearly two hours later he left standing straight up with tear-filled eyes. He thanked me for convincing him to come in. His home had been destroyed, but together we put together a plan and he was eventually able to move back into his own home.” During National Volunteer Week 2011, let’s thank Christine, and the many other volunteers like her. Thanks for making us proud! 46. According to the second paragraph, Canadian Red Cross’s action is ________. A. slow B. quick C. helpless D. disappointing 47.

He came in a little while later. Nearly two hours later he left standing straight up with tear-filled eyes. He thanked me for convincing him to come in. His home had been destroyed, but together we put together a plan and he was eventually able to move back into his own home.(我让他来看我们，这样我们就可以一起制定一个计划来改善他的状况。过了一会儿他进来了。将近两个小时后，他笔直得站着离开了，眼睛里充满了泪水。他感谢我说服他进来。他的家被毁了，但我们一起制定了一个计划，他最终能够搬回自己的家)”可知，当听到一个人很绝望想要有轻生的观点时，Christine Hoffman的心跳停止了，即，十分紧张，怕他会做傻事。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Nearly two hours later he left standing straight up with tear-filled eyes.

We are having three graduations in one family. My daughter is graduating from 4-year College in nursing, and my son is graduating from a high school, and I also just graduated last week. The dream was planted many years ago. I had always dreamt of going back to school, but it was too worrying and too hard. Three years ago, I lost one of my dear friends. She died suddenly someday. All those thoughts of “someday” seemed to take on different meanings. So, I decided to take a course, then I took two. I finally took 4 courses. When I was in the second week of school, my family was in a terrible car accident. My husband, my two children and I were on our way to visit my another daughter at work in another city for her twenty-third birthday, and we were hit by a truck a half mile from our house. My husband was seriously hurt, and I was told by doctors many times it was a miracle (奇迹) that he had survived a serious head injury. The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. However, none of us had cold feet. As one of the top ten students in the college, my daughter graduated from college and got her Bachelor’s Degree. My son was admitted to a famous university after his graduation. I am proud of them. As my password, I called myself “mountain climber. ” The journey was difficult and every hill seemed higher to climb. Last week, the highlight of my life was walking across that platform and getting my degree six months before I turn fifty I am proud of myself, too. 51. What was the author’s dream? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 52. What does the miracle refer to?

(no more than 13 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 55. Do you agree with the author’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. She dreamt of going back to school. 52. Her/The author’s husband’s surviving the serious head injury. 53. But none of us gave up. 54. Because she got the degree even she was going to be fifty. Or: Because she realized her dream even she was going to be fifty. 55. （答案不唯一）Yes. One should always stick to/ struggle for his dreams and never give them up no matter how difficult they are. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位高龄母亲经历各种不幸，永不放弃，不但培养出优秀孩子，而且最终实现自己大学梦想的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“I had always dreamt of going back to school, but it was too worrying and too hard. (我一直梦想着能重返校园，但这既令人担忧又十分艰难。)”可知，她的梦想是重返学校。故答案是：She dreamt of going back to school.。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“My husband was seriously hurt, and I was told by doctors many times it was a miracle (奇迹) that he had survived a serious head injury. (我的丈夫受了重伤，医生多次告诉我，他能从严重的头部伤势中幸存下来，简直是个奇迹。)”可知，奇迹指的是她丈夫从严重的头部伤势中幸存了下来。故答案是：Her/The author’s husband’s surviving the serious head injury.。 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据上文“The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. (在那段时间之后，我们三个都只是勉强过关。我的胳膊摔断了，不能写字。)”和下文“As one of the top ten students in the college, my daughter graduated from college and got her Bachelor’s Degree. My son was admitted to a famous university after his graduation. I am proud of them. (我女儿是大学里成绩排名前十的学生之一，她大学毕业了，获得了学士学位。我儿子毕业后也被一所著名大学录取了。我为他们感到骄傲。)”可知，作者一家虽然都受了伤，但他们没有放弃，继续前行。因此，划线处可以理解为“但我们没放弃”。故答案是：But none of us gave up.。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“Last week, the highlight of my life was walking across that platform and getting my degree six months before I turn fifty I am proud of myself, too. (上周，我人生的高光时刻是穿过那个平台，在我年满五十岁之前六个月拿到了学位。我也为自己感到骄傲。)”可知，作者在自己快五十岁的时候拿到了学位，这是她人生的高光时刻，因此她为自己感到骄傲。故答案是：Because she got the degree even she was going to be fifty. Or: Because she realized her dream even she was going to be fifty.。 【55题详解】 考查开放性试题。可供参考的答案是：是的。一个人应该始终坚持/努力追求自己的梦想，无论多么困难，都绝不放弃。故答案是：（答案不唯一）Yes. One should always stick to/ struggle for his dreams and never give them up no matter how difficult they are.。 V. 短文填空。（10分，每题1分） 短文填空 The Amazon is considered to be one of the most biodiverse land of tropical (热带的) rainforests in the world. Sadly, it has been facing serious deforestation due ____56____ climate change and logging (伐木). In an effort to fight this, Brazil has just donated $204 million, aiming ____57____ (help) restore degraded or destroyed woodland in the Amazon rainforest. The effort, ____58____ (name) the Arc of Restoration programme, will have access to a fund of up to $205 million through 2024. In addition to ____59____ (fight) deforestation, it will also seek to remove 1. 65 billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere in six years. Carlos Nobre, a professor at the University of Sao Paulo, ____60____ first developed the concept of the Arc of Restoration, described the effort as a “very challenging project”. According to him, 70, 270 square miles of the Amazon should ____61____ (restore) to help prevent the rainforest turning into a degraded savanna (稀树草原). Still, the project ____62____ (remain) hopeful for the future of the Amazon forest. The Arc of Restoration project was put forward before the ____63____ (announce) of “Tropical Forests Forever”, ____64____ Brazilian initiative (倡议) which intends to raise $250 billion to protect and restore the world’s tropical forests. As a guardian of 60% of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil seems to be making _____65_____ (significance) steps in the right direction to save a priceless resource. 【答案】56. to 57. to help 58. named 59. fighting 60. who 61. be restored 62. remains 63. announcement 64. a 65. significant 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为了对抗亚马逊雨林的砍伐，巴西捐赠了2.04亿美元，旨在帮助恢复亚马逊雨林中退化或被破坏的林地。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：可悲的是，由于气候变化和伐木，它一直面临着严重的砍伐。固定短语due to表示“由于，因为”。故填to。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了对抗这一点，巴西刚刚捐赠了2.04亿美元，旨在帮助恢复亚马逊雨林中退化或被破坏的林地。aim to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“旨在做某事”。故填to help。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这项名为“恢复之弧”的计划，到2024年，将获得高达2.05亿美元的资金。分析句子结构可知，name在句中作非谓语动词，且和逻辑主语The effort之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词作定语。故填named。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：除了打击砍伐森林外，它还将在六年内寻求从大气中去除16.5亿吨碳。介词to后接动名词作宾语。故填fighting。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：圣保罗大学的教授Carlos Nobre是第一个提出“恢复之弧”概念的人，他称这一努力为“非常具有挑战性的项目”。空格处引导定语从句，先行词Carlos Nobre是人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。 【61题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：据他介绍，应该恢复70270平方英里的亚马逊雨林，以防止其退化成稀树草原。restore在句中作谓语动词，且和主语70, 270 square miles之间是被动关系，所以应用被动语态，位于情态动词should后面，使用动词原形。故填be restored。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：尽管如此，该项目对亚马逊森林的未来仍抱有希望。remain在句中作谓语动词，陈述客观事实，此处应用一般现在时，且主语是第三人称单数。故填remains。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：“恢复之弧”计划是在宣布“热带森林永存”之前提出的，这是一项巴西倡议，旨在筹集2500亿美元保护和恢复世界热带森林。空格处应用名词作介词before的宾语，此处是名词所有格the+名词+of的结构，所以应用名词announcement表示“公告，宣布”。故填announcement。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“恢复之弧”计划是在宣布“热带森林永存”之前提出的，这是一项巴西倡议，旨在筹集2500亿美元保护和恢复世界热带森林。此处泛指一项巴西倡议，且Brazilian是辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为60%亚马逊雨林的守护者，巴西似乎在朝着拯救这一宝贵资源的正确方向上迈出了重要的一步。空格处应用形容词作定语修饰名词steps，表示“重要的”。故填significant。 VI. 书面表达。（25分） 66. 假定你是学生李华，你想邀请英语外教 Black先生来你校参观主题为Our Artworks的艺术展览。请给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括： JZ High School Art Exhibition Our Artworks JZ Sports Centre 22-24 October 9am-12am 1. 告知参观的时间和地点； 2. 介绍展览的内容。 注意：1. 字数100 左右； 2. 适当添加内容使行文流畅连贯。 Dear Mr. Black, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Black, I am writing to invite you to visit our school’s art exhibition titled “Our Artworks”.

They live a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there. One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward(安排一个三等病房) for me, please.” “Can’t anybody help you?”. “No, madam, ” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s nu n and she’s poor, too. ” “I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God.

B A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment. The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite(套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House. Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain. Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn’t take that.” The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?” “I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm(表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back,” the President said. The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.” “Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives(众议院) gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over.” Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I’ll take this and leave everything else.” Coolidge, knowing there was $ 80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill. Coolidge added up the room rate(费用) and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan. He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered. 41. What caused the thief to meet the President? A. He knew the President had lots of money. B. He knew the President lived in the suite. C. He wanted to be a rich businessman. D. He wanted to steal some money. 42. Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days? A. Because the former President was still living in the White House. B. Because the former First Lady hadn’t left the White House. C. Because the First Lady liked to live there. D. Because he liked there. 43. Coolidge counted out $32 ________. A. in order not to be killed by the thief B. in order to be out of danger C. so as to help the young student overcome his difficulty D. because he had no more money 44 The young man’s roommate went back to the college ________.

The President told many reporters the thief’s name. D. The President ordered the young man to repay the money. C This week is National Volunteer Week, a time for the Canadian Red Cross to recognize our dedicated (有奉献精神的) volunteers who devote their time and talents from coast to coast. Over the course of the week we will use this blog to share stories about our volunteers and the amazing work they do — a small part of the outstanding individuals across the country. Take Saskatchewan for example. Last year that province was hit by wide-spread flooding, a hurricane and forest fires. Canadian Red Cross staff and volunteers went to work right away and helped more than 2, 100 adults and 775 children recover the basic necessities of life. It’s important to share stories from volunteers to truly appreciate what they do. Christine Hoffman is a Disaster Response Volunteer in Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan. She’s a veteran Red Crosser for about 16 years. Still nothing could have prepared her for the call she took in the Recovery Center last year in response to flooding in Maple Greek. This story is best told in her own words. This is what she said: “I will never forget the first phone call I took in the Recovery Centre. A young man called asking what services Red Cross was offering in town. As we were talking, he told me he had a rope in his backyard but he thought he would be using it for other reasons. My heart stopped. I told him to come to see us so we could work together on a plan to improve his situation. He came in a little while later. Nearly two hours later he left standing straight up with tear-filled eyes. He thanked me for convincing him to come in. His home had been destroyed, but together we put together a plan and he was eventually able to move back into his own home.” During National Volunteer Week 2011, let’s thank Christine, and the many other volunteers like her. Thanks for making us proud! 46. According to the second paragraph, Canadian Red Cross’s action is ________. A. slow B. quick C. helpless D. disappointing 47.
