C. causing D. to cause
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:南方下了大雨,在几个省区造成严重洪灾。空格后serious flooding是rained heavily的后果,而且句子主语it和cause之间存在主动关系,所以此处要用动词的ing形式作结果状语。故选C。

10. ________ many times, he still couldn’t understand.
A. Having been told B. Having told C. He having been told D. Telling
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。句意:虽然被告诉了很多次,他还是不明白。此处为非谓语动词作状语,tell与逻辑主语he之间为被动关系,且tell发生在谓语动词couldn’t understand之前,所以此处使用现在分词的完成式的被动式。故选A项。

【答案】C
【解析】

A. finishes B. had been finished C. will finish D. has been finished
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:到目前为止,这项工作已经完成了。根据句中So far可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语the work与谓语动词finish之间为被动关系,因此用现在完成时的被动结构。故选D。

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their way.
A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through here connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
41. The author thinks music ________.
A. can make children calm down B. can connect heart to heart

42. According to the second paragraph, Vanessa ________.

C. was the youngest in the class D. enjoyed the author’s classes
43. When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh, yes!”, the author felt ________.
A. surprised B. happy C. frightened D. satisfied
44. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.
B. Vanessa became as healthy as other children.
C. The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.
D. Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.

Nobody knows with absolute certainty all the details of the life of Aesod. However, scholars have been working to establish some facts and this is the brief story of Aesop as it is accepted today.
Aesop was born in a slave around the year 620 BC. In Ancient Greece, it was a tradition for freed men to be interested in public affairs, so Aesop worked hard to raise himself from a slave’s position to a high position. He was a thinker and eventually became widely admired.
Aesop was a smart man and a good speaker. He liked to learn and to teach people, so he travelled through many countries. He came to Sardis, the capital of the famous king Croesus of Lydia, who was a patron (保护者) of learning and learned men.
Croesus was so impressed by Aesop that he invited Aesop to permanently live in Sardis. The king hired Aesop to do diplomatic government work such as trying to establish peace between the various republics of Greece. Aesop made friends with the people of these cities by telling his wise fables
It was on one of these mission (使命) that Aesop was killed. Croesus has sent him to Delphi with lots of gold which was to be distributed (分配) among the citizens. After talking with the people of Delphi, Aesop got so mad at the citizens because of their greed. He refused to divide the money and instead sent it back to his master.

Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. He worked as a restaurant manager and was liked by his employees.
One day I asked him, “How do you manage to stay positive all the time?”Jerry replied, “Each time something bad happens, I choose the positive side of life.”
Years later, I lost touch with Jerry. Suddenly one day, I heard that Jerry’s restaurant was robbed (抢劫) and he was shot (开枪) by the robbers. Luckily, Jerry was sent to the hospital quickly. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital.
About six months after the accident, I saw Jerry and asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Jerry replied, “When I was wheeled into the emergency room and saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a nurse asking me if I was allergic (过敏) to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working and waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets (子弹)!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry lived not only thanks to the skills of his doctors and nurses, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learnt from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是在生活的挑战面前,Jerry用积极的态度和幽默感书写了生命的奇迹,教会我们态度决定一切。
【51题详解】
考查推理判断。根据首段中的“Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.(Jerry总是心情很好,总是说些积极的话。)”可知,Jerry是积极乐观的,结合倒数第二段中的““Well, there was a nurse asking me if I was allergic (过敏) to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working and waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets (子弹)!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”(“嗯,有个护士问我是不是对什么过敏。“是的,”我回答。医生和护士都停止了工作,等着我的回答。我深吸一口气,喊道:“子弹!”’在他们的笑声中,我告诉他们:‘我选择活下去。把我当活人而不是死人来做手术。’”)”可知,在做手术时,Jerry仍能够对医生和护士开玩笑,由此可知,Jerry是很幽默的人,综合以上信息可知,Jerry是积极乐观而又幽默的人。故答案为:He is positive and humorous.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Jerry replied, “Each time something bad happens, I choose the positive side of life.”(Jerry回答说:“每当不好的事情发生时,我都选择看到生活积极的一面。”)”可知,当作者问道Jerry是如何一直保持乐观的,Jerry的回答是“选择看到生活积极的一面”。故答案为:He always chooses the positive side of life.
【53题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线单词所在的句子“After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of … care, Jerry was released from the hospital.(经过18个小时的手术和数周的……护理,Jerry出院了。)”可知,手术做了18个小时,说明问题很严重,最后出院了,说明经过数周的“精心的”护理,由此可知,划线单词的意思与“精心的”意义相近。故答案为:Careful.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.”(从他们的眼睛里,我看出,‘他是个死人。’我知道我需要采取行动。”)”以及下文的“I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.(我选择活下去。请像我还活着一样给我做手术,而不是像我已经死了那样。)”可知,Jerry在手术台上选择了积极地活下去,并希望医护人员也这样对待他,所以是:他要活下去。故答案为:He wanted to live.
【55题详解】
开放性题目。根据尾段中的“Jerry lived not only thanks to the skills of his doctors and nurses, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learnt from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.(Jerry活了下来,不仅要感谢他的医生和护士的医术,还因为他令人惊叹的态度。我从他身上学到,我们每天都可以选择充实地生活。毕竟,态度决定一切。)”可知,从Jerry的身上,我们应该学到,面对生活中的不幸,我们应该有一个积极而乐观的态度,态度决定一切,我最好的朋友,总是乐观的,在困难的时候用微笑和友善的话语鼓励我。故答案为:My best friend, who is always optimistic, encourages me with smiles and kind words through tough times.

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their way.
A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through here connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.

Nobody knows with absolute certainty all the details of the life of Aesod. However, scholars have been working to establish some facts and this is the brief story of Aesop as it is accepted today.
Aesop was born in a slave around the year 620 BC. In Ancient Greece, it was a tradition for freed men to be interested in public affairs, so Aesop worked hard to raise himself from a slave’s position to a high position. He was a thinker and eventually became widely admired.
Aesop was a smart man and a good speaker. He liked to learn and to teach people, so he travelled through many countries. He came to Sardis, the capital of the famous king Croesus of Lydia, who was a patron (保护者) of learning and learned men.
Croesus was so impressed by Aesop that he invited Aesop to permanently live in Sardis. The king hired Aesop to do diplomatic government work such as trying to establish peace between the various republics of Greece. Aesop made friends with the people of these cities by telling his wise fables
It was on one of these mission (使命) that Aesop was killed. Croesus has sent him to Delphi with lots of gold which was to be distributed (分配) among the citizens. After talking with the people of Delphi, Aesop got so mad at the citizens because of their greed. He refused to divide the money and instead sent it back to his master. The Delphi were so mad that they killed Aesop.
As often happens in Greek history, the Delphians were visited by a series of disasters as a sort of punishment for Aesop’s death. This is where the phrase “the blood of Aesop” originated.
In memory of Aesop, a statue was set up in Athens. The statue was created by the famous Greek sculptor, Lysippus.
46. Why did Aesop work so hard?
A. Because he wanted to be an official. B. Because he desired to join in public affairs.
C. Because he wanted to make more money. D. Because he wanted to write wise fables.
47. According to Para 3, Aesop traveled through many countries to ________.
A. spread knowledge B. admire the scenery C. seek help D. collect facts
48. Croesus hired Aesop to ________.
A. establish relations with other republics B. handle internal affairs of Lydia
C. be in charge of his wealth D. punish the neighboring republics of Greece
49. Which of the following words can best describe Croesus?
A. Strong-willed. B. Generous. C. Adventurous. D. Knowledgeable.
50. The phrase “the blood of Aesop” probably means “________”.
A. No pains, no gains. B. Well begun is half done.
C. It’s no use crying over split milk. D. Wrongful deeds will not go unpunished.
