B I received a private message on my social media account. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. We want to invite you to join our next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Social media was running my life, not me. But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set a bad example for him. Before social media became popular, surfing the Internet was an occasional/ distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son, I deactivated my social media account. I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day, so I had to come up with some new ideas. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and my son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I was completely in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 42. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Closed. B. Updated. C. Kept. D. Checked. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She went to the gym as often as she could. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She travelled around a lot for a year. 44. What did the author think of the break from social media? A. It was good for her eyes. B. It stopped her getting news. C. It distanced her from her friends. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 45. What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. C If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 46. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 47. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 48. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________. A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 49. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 50. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________. A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical D Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds. One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference. 51. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds? A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety. 52. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds? A. Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes. B. The progress still remains at the primary stage. C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well. D. Not many countries are involved in the activities. 53. According to the researchers, __________. A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas B. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together C. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries D. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes 54. What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage? A. They always travel from the north to the south. B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions. C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection. D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities. 55. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The migration of birds influences society development. B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes. C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds. D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary. 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer. Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11. After her death, I felt sad and discouraged. I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions. When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children. Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73,000. In the past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer. I’ve been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned. It received an award from President. This great honour raised awareness and money for our cause. The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology. Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer. 56. What happened to Sydney when she was 11?

It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. We want to invite you to join our next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Social media was running my life, not me. But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set a bad example for him. Before social media became popular, surfing the Internet was an occasional/ distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son, I deactivated my social media account. I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day, so I had to come up with some new ideas. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and my son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I was completely in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 42. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Closed. B. Updated. C. Kept. D. Checked. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She went to the gym as often as she could. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She travelled around a lot for a year. 44. What did the author think of the break from social media? A. It was good for her eyes. B. It stopped her getting news. C. It distanced her from her friends. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 45. What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者如何意识到社交媒体对她生活的影响，并采取行动改变，最终找到了与社交媒体更健康的互动方式。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. (但让我对社交媒体失去兴趣的是，我发了一张照片后，五分钟后我的儿子问我获得了多少“赞”。他的问题警醒了我。)”可知，作者开始意识到需要控制自己在Facebook上的时间是因为她的儿子问她照片获得了多少“赞”。这个问题让她意识到社交媒体对她生活的影响。故选B项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son (为了重现那些日子的质朴，并为我的儿子树立一个更好的榜样)”可知，作者想要恢复以前质朴的生活，也就是摆脱社交媒体的控制，由此可知，划线单词与“关闭”或“停用”意义相近。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. (我随身携带了一本小说和一本填字游戏书。我重新发现了针织。我开始参加瑜伽课。)”可知，为了改变生活，作者采取了一些新的措施，如随身携带小说和填字游戏书，重新发现针织，开始参加瑜伽课程。这些都是健康习惯的一部分。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段“The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. (这次休息让我对自己、家庭、家和生活感觉更好。)”可知，作者从社交媒体的休息中找到了生活中的美好，这让她感觉更好。这表明休息让她有时间发现生活中的美好。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第九段“After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. (几周后，我回到了社交媒体。现在我看着朋友们的孩子成长的照片，并珍惜社交媒体让我与远近的家人保持联系的方式。我每天查看它，但不再有不断发布更新的欲望。)”可知，作者对社交媒体的态度是客观的，她认识到社交媒体的好处，同时也意识到其潜在的负面影响，并找到了与之健康互动的方式。故选C项。 C If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 46. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 47. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 48. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________. A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 49. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 50. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________. A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有两种幸福，作者着重讲述了第二种幸福，认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天幸福。 46题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. (我不相信幸福有一个普遍的定义。根据我的说法，幸福是一种非常主观的情感)”可推知，作者认为幸福很主观，所以每个人都有自己的幸福。故选B项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. (我所说的第二种幸福来自我们对生活的期望，这种期望因人而异。例如，一个对自己的生活抱有很大期望的人可能会发现很难找到幸福。他们在生活中不断地寻找these things，而这些东西似乎总是逃避他们)”可知，人们对生活有太多期望是难以找到幸福的，可得出these things指代上文提到的“对生活的期望”。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! (在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们寻求更多的新目标、新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，即使他们的目标实现了，有些人仍然不快乐，是因为他们有需要实现的新目标要完成。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人可能会幸福。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“here is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. (有一种幸福是普遍的，还有另一种幸福，对我们每个人来说都很独特。正是这种幸福让我觉得更有趣)”和第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，作者认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天、能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人更有可能每天幸福。由此推知，作者告诉读者要随遇而安，尽情享受每一天，去感受幸福。故选C项。 D Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds. One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference. 51. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds? A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety. 52. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds? A.

B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍城市化建设和工农业发展，使得候鸟栖息地遭到严重破坏，这将直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的The scientists studied the migration，or flight，paths，of almost 1，500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas． The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society（科学家们研究了近1500个物种的迁徙或飞行路线，发现其中91%都经过了危险地带。候鸟面临的主要危险是人类社会的发展）可知人类社会的发展被认为是候鸟的主要危险是因为建筑活动占据了鸟类活动的路径。A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.（人类活动占据了鸟类的路径）符合以上说法，故选A项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing，more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds（一位没有参与这份报告的科学家说，虽然一些栖息地正在改变，但是可以做更多的工作来保证城市地区鸟类的安全）故推测人类保护鸟类的一些努力并没有起到作用。C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.（人类的一些努力并不凑效）符合以上说法，故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not，a bird might die．（研究人员说，如果一个国家可能为候鸟保留了安全区域，而一个邻国可能没有，那么一只鸟可能会死亡）可推测各国政府需要共同努力为鸟类提供安全的区域。A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas（政府需要合作，提供安全区域）符合以上推测，故选A项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another可推测候鸟中的一些在城市里休息或进食。D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities.（候鸟中的一些在城市休息或者进食）符合以上推测，故选D项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文，其主旨大意一般在首段或者尾段。根据第一段Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats，or homelands, are disappearing（科学家表示，很大比例的鸟类物种正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失）可知文章主要介绍了候鸟因失去家园而濒临死亡。B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.（候鸟因为失去家园而濒临灭绝）可概括本文，故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer. Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11. After her death, I felt sad and discouraged. I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions. When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children. Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73,000. In the past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer. I’ve been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned. It received an award from President. This great honour raised awareness and money for our cause. The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology. Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer. 56. What happened to Sydney when she was 11? (No more than 10 words) ________________ 57. What does PPD aim to do? (No more than 14 words) ________________ 58. What does the underlined word “removing” in Paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 5 words) ________________ 59. Why did the author feel proud according to Paragraph 5? (No more than 15 words) ________________ 60. What can we learn from the author’s experience according to the passage? (No more Than 25 words) ________________ 【答案】56. Sydney died at the age of 11. 57. PPD aims to raise money to help do a research on removing brain cancer. 58. Cut off. 59. Because he found PPD, which has helped fund the research of life-saving technology. 60. We have learned that it is possible to make a difference in the world with devotion. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述在作者11岁的时候，他的朋友Sydney因为脑癌去世，因此他15岁的时候和朋友成立PPD募捐活动，募集资金帮助寻找脑癌的治疗方法。PPD募捐活动得到公众的认可，并且为一些科学发现提供了启动资金，作者的经验告诉我们只要付出，就有可能改变世界。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer. Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11. (在我10岁的时候，我的朋友Sydney患了脑癌。Sydney与癌症作了斗争，但是癌症对治疗没有反应，也不能切除。Sydney 11岁时就去世了。)”由此可知，Sydney在11岁时由于脑癌去世了。故答案为Sydney died at the age of 11. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73,000. In the past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer. (多年来，PPD在整个城市举办募捐活动。第一次PPD公会活动，一场车库甩卖，刚刚筹集了900美元，但我们最新的筹款活动，2012年的高尔夫锦标赛，筹集了超过73000美元。在过去的五年里，我们已经筹集了近一百万美元来帮助进行一项移除脑癌的研究。)”以及第五段“The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries (我们所做的努力确实帮助了癌症研究。PPD为一些科学发现提供了启动资金)”可知，PPD活动旨在筹集资金帮助移除脑癌的研究。故答案为PPD aims to raise money to help do a research on removing brain cancer. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段“When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children. (当我15岁的时候，我和两个朋友一起创建了PPD。我的目标是筹集足够的资金来找到脑癌的治疗方法，脑癌是儿童中第二常见的癌症。)”再根据划线处后面的brain cancer，可知是找到治疗方法消除或者切除脑癌，所以推断removing意为“消除，移除，切除”。故答案为Cut off. 【59题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第五段“The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology. (我们所做的努力确实帮助了癌症研究。PPD为一些科学发现提供了启动资金，比如“肿瘤染色”，它能照亮癌细胞，这样医生就能以惊人的准确性切除它们。这一发现刊登在《时代》杂志上。我很自豪能够资助这项拯救生命的技术的研究。)”由此可推断出，作者创立的PPD为一些科学发现提供了资金，为这些研究提供了帮助，所以作者感到很自豪。故答案为Because he found PPD, which has helped fund the research of life-saving technology. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer. (PPD激励我成为一名积极分子。我的经验告诉我，只要付出，就有可能改变世界。PPD带给我的决心影响了我生活的方方面面，使我成为一名有竞争力的演讲者和一名敬业的志愿者。)”可知我们能从作者经历中学习到只要付出，就有可能改变世界。故答案为 We have learned that it is possible to make a difference in the world with devotion. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 英国某中学邀请我校代表团于7月中旬去访问交流，假如你是代表团中的一员，请在欢迎会上致感谢词。 要点： 1. 感谢他们的邀请和接待； 2. 希望在文化习俗，创新与发明方面有交流； 3. 重点介绍一个中国传统节日； 4. 邀请他们来天津. 提示词：习俗 custom 创新 innovation 接待 reception Ladies and Gentlemen: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s a great honor for me to speak here.
