However, the mountains, valleys (山谷), hills, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. For example, Mount Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon rainforest is only 10 million years old. The youngest sea in the world is the Baltic Sea, at about 15,000 years old. The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes (火山), earthquakes and of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet. For example, glaciers (rivers of ice) can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys. Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands. This is happening in the South Pacific, near Tonga. It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. Some deserts are growing and many forests are getting smaller. The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years. As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world. These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial to some people. For example, as the Arctic is getting warmer, some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land. That wasn’t possible in the far north 50 years ago. Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue. 43. How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By telling stories. D. By using sayings. 44. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The age of the Earth. B. Problems for the planet. C. The life of the farmers. D. Influences on the mountains. 45. What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. harmful B. normal C. helpful D. uncomfortable 【答案】43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了地球因为各种原因总是在变化，详细地介绍了这些变化的好处和坏处。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, glaciers (rivers of ice) can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys.”可知，通过举例子的方式来描述地球的变化，故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms…As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world”可知，第三段主要介绍了这些变化所带来的问题，故选B。 【45题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“These changes will bring great harm to the planet.”以及“However, they can be beneficial to some people.”可知，这些变化会带来危害，However表示转折，划线句子应说也可以带来好处，也就是带来帮助，单词“beneficial”指的是“有益的”，故选C。 D Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language?” Clara, 15 years old at that time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed. Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪) by the seat of the old man named Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while. “He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, she “talked” about her family and her plans for the future. Cook “told” Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported. “Clara was amazing,” an air hostess said in an interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.” 46. What was the air hostesses’ problem? A. They had a very difficult passenger. B. They couldn’t understand the passenger. C. They didn’t know the passenger’s name. D. They didn’t have what the passenger wanted. 47. Why did Clara Daly believe she could help? A. Because she happened to learn some ASL. B. Because she had helped people like Cook. C. Because she thought she might know Cook. D. Because her grandfather had the same problem. 48. Why did Tim Cook keep asking for service? A. Because he was hungry and thirsty. B. Because he needed someone to talk to. C. Because he was afraid of taking planes. D. Because he was interested in Clara’s story. 49. Which of the following words best describe Clara Daly? A. Beautiful and lovely. B. Outgoing and friendly. C. Patient and caring. D. Brave and strong-minded. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了正在学习ASL的Clara在一次飞机旅行中，帮助乘务人员，与聋哑人乘客Tim Cook进行沟通的事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,’ she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want Something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed.”可知，女乘务员的问题是她们不能理解这位乘客需要什么。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌).”可知，因为Clara学过手语，故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk”可知，是因为他很孤独，想要有人和他说话。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.”及“So for the next hour, she ‘talked’ about her family and her plans for the future. Cook ‘told’ Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she ‘looked attentively at his face with such kindness,’”可知，Clara几次返回到这位乘客的座位，一直都很耐心地帮助他，可见她是一个有耐心和爱心的人。故选C。 E Why are some people successful and others aren’t? What’s the secret of success? You can get the answers in Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers. Gladwell thinks practice makes you good. The “10,000-hour rule” is central to the book. It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10,000 hours, about three hours a day for 10 years. For example, the Beatles practised playing music in Hamburg more than 1,200 times between 1960 and 1964, which is more than 10,000 hours of playing time. Gladwell also thinks that intelligence (智力) alone will not lead to success. Christopher Langan, who is mentioned in the book, got an IQ of between 195 and 210. As a boy at school, Langan passed an exam in a foreign language after looking through a text book for three minutes. But Langan never made any achievements his whole life. This shows that besides intelligence, you need hard work, support and chances. However, it isn’t just a question of time and support. According to the book, you still need luck. Of course, many people say that you can create your own “luck” if you’re active enough. So, are you putting in the hours? Carry on! You could get lucky! 50. Why did the writer ask questions in the first paragraph? A. To ask others for help. B. To list some examples. C. To draw readers’ attention. D. To introduce successful people. 51. How long do you need to practise something in order to succeed? A. 3 hours. B. 10 years. C. 4 years. D. 10,000 hours. 52. What can we learn from Christopher Langan? A. Intelligence alone will not lead to success. B. Success has nothing to do with hard work. C. Whether we will succeed depends on our IQ. D. We can learn a foreign language well in minutes. 【答案】50. C 51. D 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Gladwell的《异类》一书中几种成功的秘诀。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Why are some people successful and others aren’t? What’s the secret of success? You can get the answers in Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers.”可知，作者在第一段中提出问题是为了引起读者的注意，故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10,000 hours, about three hours a day for 10 years.”可知，如果你想成为世界上最好的人之一，你需要练习10000个小时，大约每天练习三个小时，持续10年，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ Christopher Langan, who is mentioned in the book, got an IQ of between 195 and 210. As a boy at school, ...This shows that besides intelligence, you need hard work, support and chances.”可知，只有智慧不会带来成功。故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F A young fish, named Mimo, loved collecting pebbles（鹅卵石）and those little shiny stones could be found at the bottom of the ocean. He spent all of his time looking for them. One day, an old fish said to him, “You cannot spend your whole day searching for little pebbles. There is a whole world out there for you to learn about!” But Mimo didn’t listen at all. Early one morning, while the other fish were still sleeping, Mimo went for a swim. He came upon a pile（堆）of pebbles. Excited about his find, he started bringing the pebbles back to his home one by one. Just as he was making his last trip, he saw a shadow（影子）. It was a big, ugly lion fish-the most dangerous fish that he had ever met. Suddenly, the lion fish started catching the young fish. Very quickly, Mimo realized that the only way he could escape was to drop the pebble, and swim away as fast as he could. From then on, he always remembered what the wise fish had told him: Too many little things may make you lose sight of the big picture. 53. Where could pebbles be found?（不超过10个词） ________________ 54. What did Mimo do after he came upon a pile of pebbles?（不超过15个词） ________________ 55. What could Mimo learn from the words of the old fish?（不超过15个词） ________________ 【答案】53. They/Pebbles could be found at the bottom of the ocean. 54. He/Mimo started bringing the pebbles back to his home one by one. 55. Too many little things may make you/us lose sight of the big picture. 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文，用小鱼Mimo捡石头的故事告诉我们：小事太多会使人看不见大局。 【53题详解】 根据“those little shiny stones could be found at the bottom of the ocean”可知，这些闪闪发光小石头可以在海底找到，故填They/Pebbles could be found at the bottom of the ocean. 【54题详解】 根据“he started bringing the pebbles back to his home one by one”可知，他开始一颗一颗地把鹅卵石带回他的家，故填He/Mimo started bringing the pebbles back to his home one by one. 【55题详解】 根据“From then on, he always remembered what the wise fish had told him: Too many little things may make you lose sight of the big picture.”可知，从那以后，他总是记住那条聪明的鱼告诉他的话：小事太多会使人看不见大局。故填Too many little things may make you/us lose sight of the big picture. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ.单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及区语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the ___27___ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING ___28___ I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!

When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in. When I was two, running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger. When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up. When I was seven, coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me. But I talked back loudly, “ I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!” When I was nine, watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreams. But I shouted back ________, “ I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!” When I was a teen, going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!” But I talked back again, “I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!” Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream. And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten. I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best! 36. How old might be the writer now? A 2 years old. B. 9 years old. C. 17 years old. D. 21 years old. 37. What did the mother do when the writer fell and hurt himself? A. She sang to him and stayed by his side. B. She gave him a hug and helped him stand up. C. She gave him an ice-cream to make him happy. D. She kept him away from danger and made sure he was safe. 38. Which of the following word can be filled in the blank? A. happily B. calmly C. angrily D. humorously 39. Which of the following can be put into the empty box according to the text? A. Forget Mom’s Love B. Return Mom’s Love C. Ask for Mom s Love D. Misunderstand Mom’s Love B Who can help you? Maybe you think parents, teachers or others can help you. But in fact, all these people only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. They had few people to help them. They could not get good education, either. But they tried their best to learn and never gave up. One famous teacher told his students, “I cannot make you great men, but I can help you make men of yourselves.” If these young people can realize their weak points and change themselves, they will be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing in the future, unless they take the advice of their parents and teachers, and most important, depend on themselves. 40. Many great men in history succeeded because ________. A. they got good education B. their families could help them C. they worked hard and never gave up D. they wanted to be well-known 41. What the famous teacher said means a teacher can ________. A. do everything B. help the students make men of themselves C. deal with students’ problems D. make his students become great 42. Which is the best title of this passage? A. Friendship is Very Important B. A Person Should Depend on Himself C. How to Be Famous D. What a Teacher Says Influences Students C Scientists believe the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. However, the mountains, valleys (山谷), hills, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. For example, Mount Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon rainforest is only 10 million years old. The youngest sea in the world is the Baltic Sea, at about 15,000 years old. The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes (火山), earthquakes and of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet. For example, glaciers (rivers of ice) can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys. Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands. This is happening in the South Pacific, near Tonga. It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. Some deserts are growing and many forests are getting smaller. The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years. As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world. These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial to some people. For example, as the Arctic is getting warmer, some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land. That wasn’t possible in the far north 50 years ago. Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue. 43. How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By telling stories. D. By using sayings. 44. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The age of the Earth. B. Problems for the planet. C. The life of the farmers. D. Influences on the mountains. 45. What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. harmful B. normal C. helpful D. uncomfortable D Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language?” Clara, 15 years old at that time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed. Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪) by the seat of the old man named Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while. “He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, she “talked” about her family and her plans for the future. Cook “told” Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported. “Clara was amazing,” an air hostess said in an interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.” 46. What was the air hostesses’ problem? A. They had a very difficult passenger. B. They couldn’t understand the passenger. C. They didn’t know the passenger’s name. D. They didn’t have what the passenger wanted. 47. Why did Clara Daly believe she could help? A. Because she happened to learn some ASL. B. Because she had helped people like Cook. C. Because she thought she might know Cook. D. Because her grandfather had the same problem. 48. Why did Tim Cook keep asking for service? A. Because he was hungry and thirsty. B. Because he needed someone to talk to. C. Because he was afraid of taking planes. D. Because he was interested in Clara’s story. 49. Which of the following words best describe Clara Daly? A. Beautiful and lovely. B. Outgoing and friendly. C. Patient and caring. D. Brave and strong-minded. E Why are some people successful and others aren’t? What’s the secret of success? You can get the answers in Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers. Gladwell thinks practice makes you good. The “10,000-hour rule” is central to the book. It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10,000 hours, about three hours a day for 10 years. For example, the Beatles practised playing music in Hamburg more than 1,200 times between 1960 and 1964, which is more than 10,000 hours of playing time. Gladwell also thinks that intelligence (智力) alone will not lead to success. Christopher Langan, who is mentioned in the book, got an IQ of between 195 and 210. As a boy at school, Langan passed an exam in a foreign language after looking through a text book for three minutes. But Langan never made any achievements his whole life. This shows that besides intelligence, you need hard work, support and chances. However, it isn’t just a question of time and support. According to the book, you still need luck. Of course, many people say that you can create your own “luck” if you’re active enough. So, are you putting in the hours? Carry on! You could get lucky! 50. Why did the writer ask questions in the first paragraph? A. To ask others for help. B. To list some examples. C. To draw readers’ attention. D. To introduce successful people. 51. How long do you need to practise something in order to succeed? A. 3 hours. B. 10 years. C. 4 years. D. 10,000 hours. 52. What can we learn from Christopher Langan? A. Intelligence alone will not lead to success. B. Success has nothing to do with hard work. C. Whether we will succeed depends on our IQ. D. We can learn a foreign language well in minutes. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F A young fish, named Mimo, loved collecting pebbles（鹅卵石）and those little shiny stones could be found at the bottom of the ocean. He spent all of his time looking for them. One day, an old fish said to him, “You cannot spend your whole day searching for little pebbles. There is a whole world out there for you to learn about!” But Mimo didn’t listen at all. Early one morning, while the other fish were still sleeping, Mimo went for a swim. He came upon a pile（堆）of pebbles. Excited about his find, he started bringing the pebbles back to his home one by one. Just as he was making his last trip, he saw a shadow（影子）. It was a big, ugly lion fish-the most dangerous fish that he had ever met. Suddenly, the lion fish started catching the young fish. Very quickly, Mimo realized that the only way he could escape was to drop the pebble, and swim away as fast as he could. From then on, he always remembered what the wise fish had told him: Too many little things may make you lose sight of the big picture. 53. Where could pebbles be found?（不超过10个词） ________________ 54.
