B As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students. Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates. One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said. Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me. 24．The author went to school unwillingly most probably because she ________.

C Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are seen as naturally brilliant. In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein. Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann. an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science. According to the researchers, there is anxiety（焦虑） in the science community about a number of students who run after careers（事业）in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow. The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems. “This proved that people generally seem to see Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly connected with extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.” 28．What kind of scientist is more inspiring? A．Those who were born with a gift. B．Those who made important discoveries. C．Those who are famous for their hard work. D．Those who are viewed as great inventors. 29．What is the worry in the science community? A．There are fewer role models for students to follow. B．The students will drop out of school soon. C．Some scientists cannot give students specific goals. D．Fewer students will continue to work on science. 30．Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems? A．They believed they could solve the problems by working hard. B．They knew the problems were given by Edison. C．They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison. D．They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein. 31．What is the best title for the text? A．Einstein’s Success Story. B．Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison. C．Edison’s Achievements Are Greater. D．How to Be a Great Scientist. D A pilot program in North County is teaching students about nutrition and where their food comes from. The five-week Farm to School program is a partnership between Escondido Union School District and the Farm to Institution Center. It encourages elementary school children to try vegetables they may not have tried before. “I think that understanding just the roots of where our food comes from and how it gets to our table is meaningful,” said Jeremy Lyche, principal of Bernardo Elementary School. “You saw the kids’ excitement today. They love it.” The students in Paul Erickson’s class have been in the program for over a month. “We’ve been doing multiple lessons where we’re learning about and teaching about local farms in our community, as well as some healthier choices like produce(农产品), just getting students to join in farming.” Erickson said. Once a week for the past five weeks, Alexis Anderson from the Farm to Institution Center has been coming by to teach these kids more about farming and what it takes to get fresh produce to their tables. Wednesday was the students’ last session in the program. She said the main takeaway for the kids is learning where their food comes from. “Eat and support local food because it not only benefits their community economically, but also benefits their health and just education overall of knowing what’s available,” Anderson said. After Wednesday’s lesson, the students went to the school garden for a game of bingo to identify the things they’ve learned. One of the goals of the school garden is for the students to try new things. For Escondido Union School District, the ultimate goal for the school garden is for the produce to end up in the cafeteria for the children to eat. But there are some health regulations the district still needs to overcome before that can happen. 32．What is the purpose of the Farm to School program? A．To promote local farms and their products. B．To provide money for school gardens. C．To get students to know the source of food. D．To motivate children to plant vegetables. 33．What does the underlined word “ takeaway” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Focus. B．Gain. C．Challenge. D．Inspiration. 34．Which is the benefit of eating locally according to Anderson? A．It supports the local economy. B．It reduces the food waste. C．It lowers food production cost. D．It improves farming skills. 35．What should the school district do to achieve their goal? A．Expand the garden to produce more food. B．Increase the variety of vegetables grown. C．Train more teachers to take part in the program. D．Ensure the produce meets health regulations. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We have two main aims for your academic life at high school: that you achieve the best possible academic results you can, and that you really enjoy your learning, acquiring an intellectual (智力的) curiosity that will last you all your life. Teachers will help you with both areas of your development. 36 . A classroom is a formal setting and you should behave accordingly. Don’t shout your ideas out. Your teacher can only hear one person speak at a time. Do co-operate, so that everyone can learn in the most effective way. Do take risks by having a go, even if you are not certain you know the answer. 37 Getting things wrong is an important part of how you learn and no one is expected to be perfect. You will enjoy your lessons much more if you get fully involved and have a go. However, it is extremely important that you listen carefully to instructions and to the ideas of others. Even if the teacher has not told you to make notes, it is a good idea to do so in order to have a record of what happened in that lesson. 38 This will be important as you reflect each day on what you have learnt. 39 This is the advice you need to get better. It is sometimes a good idea to turn the teachers’ comment into your own words and set yourself a target for the next piece of work. Every week, read through your notes, highlighting key facts and information, and making up shorter revision notes. 40 . A. There is no such thing as a silly question. B. Here are some tips for doing well in lessons. C. You will learn much more from your mistakes. D. And your teachers will support you as you learn. E. This will really help you when the exams come round. F. Ensure you read the comment in the teachers’ marking. G. Always write the date, a title and some short explanation of the topic of the lesson. 第三部分 英语知识运用 （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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Before I started high school my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cell phone.

But something 47 when I awoke in the morning. 48 immediately burying my head in my phone, I 49 something else: my surroundings. As my dad and I walked the trails（小路），I felt the weight of tons of stress off my shoulders. I realized being 50 to nature made me focus more on myself. I let my mind speak to me and listened to my feelings. I had been so focused on staying connected that I hadn’t been hearing my own 51 . That was 15 years ago, and I carry that 52 to this day. When I received my first work email, I 53 the reason why my dad chose a campsite with no access to technology. In a world that asks for more connectivity, the need to check up your cell phone becomes stronger. Having my own time is nearly 54 when I can be 55 at any time of day or night. So, I need to work harder. Whenever I feel my inner self is slipping away, I follow my dad’s guidance. I pack up the tent and drive until my phone shows those two magic words: “no service”. 41．A．wished for B．applied for C．lived on D．learned from 42．A．impression B．displeasure C．impoliteness D．embarrassment 43．A．revised B．rented C．mistaken D．planned 44．A．However B．Besides C．Therefore D．Otherwise 45．A．mobile B．private C．missing D．useless 46．A．trapped B．punished C．trained D．attended 47．A．appeared B．ended C．changed D．formed 48．A．Because of B．Apart from C．Along with D．Instead of 49．A．cleaned up B．focused on C．contributed to D．showed off 50．A．close B．blind C．similar D．new 51．A．contacts B．parents C．thoughts D．sighs 52．A．dream B．lesson C．stress D．trial 53．A．understood B．wondered C．recorded D．preferred 54．A．painful B．impossible C．unreasonable D．obvious 55．A．appreciated B．prohibited C．recognized D．connected 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不超过三个词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Dumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional 56 (dish).

His father died of a terrible disease, which cost much and left them badly off. His mother was very poor. Although she worked hard, she could only manage both ends meet. He had a little sister about two years old. He wanted to help his mother, for she could not always earn enough to buy food for her little family. And as the only man of the family, he had been preparing himself to take his responsibility. He once wanted to quit school to find some kind of job to lessen his mother’s burden, but was seriously refused. One day, on the way home after school, Henry spotted a wallet lying under a pile of leaves. He opened it carefully, finding it was full of money! But it was dark now, and the empty street in the cold winter saw on one around. Henry might have kept all the money, for no one saw him when he found it. But his mother had taught him to be honest, and never to keep what did not belong to him. So he decided to wait in the freezing wind. After what seemed a century later, there finally came back the worried and hurrying owner . The man was more than delighted to get back the lost wallet. “It was such a surprise!” the man said, “ I held no hope for it at all. Well, boy, that’s what you deserve for your good deed.” The man gave him a dollar as thanks and a praise for his honesty. How to deal with the money? The candy? A new pair of pants? Or other things he was longing for so much ? Wait, next month was mother’s birthday…Yes, Henry got the idea and knew what he should do and he would do it secretly. With the dollar he bought a box, three brushes, and some blacking（鞋油.）__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He smiled and handed the money to his mother._________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第5页/（共8页）第6页/（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
