A
I first tried snowboarding (滑雪板运动) when I was seven on a family holiday. My brother was already a really good snowboarder, and at that age, I always wanted to do everything he did. So I asked my dad to pay for a lesson, but I didn’t enjoy it at all and decided never to do it again.
After that, I started doing gymnastics (体操), and I got really good at it. Then, when I was nine, my friend Kate had a snowboarding party at a snow center for her birthday. I wanted to say no because I was scared of hurting (使受伤) myself. However, she really wanted me to go, so I said yes.
This time I found snowboarding interesting! Because of all the gymnastics lessons, I was strong (强健) and snowboarding wasn’t difficult for me. In just two hours, I was able to snowboard.
When I was 11, we moved to Italy and lived there for 10 months because of my father’s job. We lived in the north of the country, near the mountains, and I went snowboarding a lot. When we came back home, my friends couldn’t believe how good I was.
These days, I spend all my holidays snowboarding. I love everything about it—the fresh air, the beautiful views (景色), and even the clothes. But more than anything, I love the fact that there’s always something new to learn. That is what keeps it interesting for me.

My friend Mary and I decided to be “resolution buddies(伙伴)” and write our resolutions together. Here is the list we would do every day:
New Year’s Resolution
1)Wear a cool new hairstyle.
2)Bake(烘焙) a delicious treat.
3)Eat a super—healthy lunch.
4)Read books for 30 minutes.
5)Do exercise for 20 minutes.
6)Do something big to help the planet
The next morning, I got up at 5:45. My dad was so surprised to see me. “Whoa! Who are you? And what have you done with my sleep—loving daughter?” he said.
“Mary and I need more time to keep our New Year’s resolutions,” I told him, showing him the resolution list and my braids(发辫). “I already did resolution number 1. Now I’m baking cookies for the second resolution.”
When I arrived at school, Mary said, “I love your braids! Oh, and here are my cookies!” The morning seemed sweet.
After a difficult math test, we felt we really needed a nice lunch. However, resolution number 3 says our lunch has to be healthy, not necessarily delicious. Anyway, we still kept it.
“If we’re going to finish numbers 4 and 5 before the class begins, we’d better be quick.” I said to Mary. At last, we made it. However, the exercise made us uncomfortable, and we didn’t have time to do something big to help the planet(resolution number 6). “It seemed we had to get up even earlier the next day,” said Mary. I found it difficult, but I had to support(支持) her.
Even with more time, though, it was hard to finish everything. And we were too tired to do things well. On Friday, Mary and I yawned(打哈欠) a lot. That afternoon, we made up a new New Year’s resolution list. We had already exercised and read a lot, so we left those off. Now the new one is shorter, simpler, and best of all, doable.
New Year’s Resolution
1)Try to eat healthy food.
2)Try not to waste water or paper.
3)Try to be kind.
Of course, we still like to bake and try new hairstyles, but not every day. And we still hope to do something big to help the planet, but that will take more planning.
31. How many resolutions did they list at first?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
32. Why did the writer got up at 5:45 the next morning?
A. Because she didn’t want to be late for school.
B. Because she was too excited to fall asleep last night.
C. Because her father told her to get up early.
D. Because she needed more time to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
33. What did the writer mean by the underlined sentence in Para. 5?
A. They had a nice lunch and ate the food they like.
B. They ate something healthy.
C They kept the lunch because they didn’t like the food.
D. They forgot about the resolutions.
34. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. their first New Year’s Resolutions were doable
B. they finished all their resolutions on the first day
C. they got up earlier the next day but still failed to finish everything
D too many resolutions made them tired so they gave up all the resolutions
35. What’s the passage about?

My friend Mary and I decided to be “resolution buddies(伙伴)” and write our resolutions together. Here is the list we would do every day:
New Year’s Resolution
1)Wear a cool new hairstyle.
2)Bake(烘焙) a delicious treat.
3)Eat a super—healthy lunch.
4)Read books for 30 minutes.
5)Do exercise for 20 minutes.
6)Do something big to help the planet
The next morning, I got up at 5:45. My dad was so surprised to see me. “Whoa! Who are you? And what have you done with my sleep—loving daughter?” he said.
“Mary and I need more time to keep our New Year’s resolutions,” I told him, showing him the resolution list and my braids(发辫). “I already did resolution number 1. Now I’m baking cookies for the second resolution.”
When I arrived at school, Mary said, “I love your braids! Oh, and here are my cookies!” The morning seemed sweet.
After a difficult math test, we felt we really needed a nice lunch. However, resolution number 3 says our lunch has to be healthy, not necessarily delicious. Anyway, we still kept it.
“If we’re going to finish numbers 4 and 5 before the class begins, we’d better be quick.” I said to Mary. At last, we made it. However, the exercise made us uncomfortable, and we didn’t have time to do something big to help the planet(resolution number 6). “It seemed we had to get up even earlier the next day,” said Mary. I found it difficult, but I had to support(支持) her.
Even with more time, though, it was hard to finish everything. And we were too tired to do things well. On Friday, Mary and I yawned(打哈欠) a lot. That afternoon, we made up a new New Year’s resolution list. We had already exercised and read a lot, so we left those off. Now the new one is shorter, simpler, and best of all, doable.
New Year’s Resolution
1)Try to eat healthy food
2)Try not to waste water or paper.

第三节 (共 5 小题, 计 10 分)
根据所给汉语和提示词完成下列句子。
41. 妈妈常常说我不应该害怕犯错。(make)
My mother often says I shouldn’t be afraid of ________.
【答案】making mistakes
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语提示可知,横线处填“犯错误”。make mistakes“犯错误”,动词短语位于介词of后,应用动名词作宾语。故填making mistakes。
42. 马克今天早上感冒了。这就是他早上比我到校晚的原因。(late)
Mark had a cold ________. That’s why he was ________ me for school this morning.
【答案】 ①. this morning ②. later than
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,第一空意为“今天早上”,其英文表达为this morning,时间状语位于句末;late“晚的”,than“比”,此处表示两者比较,late应填写其比较级形式later。故填this morning;later than。
43. 我的老师总是能够帮我激发出自己的潜能。(bring)
My teachers always help to ________ in me.
【答案】bring out the best
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语提示可知,横线处填“激发潜能”,bring out表示“激发出,呈现出”,bring out the best表示“激发潜能”,不定式符号to后跟动词原形。故填bring out bring out the best。
44. 据我所知,他是个善良的人。(as)
________ I know, he is a kind man.
【答案】As far as
【解析】
【详解】as far as I know表示“据我所知”,句子首字母大写。故填As far as。
45. 艾米把自己打扮成一个仙女并于7点出发去参加宴会。(dress)
Amy ________ as a fairy and headed for the party at 7:00.
【答案】dressed herself up
【解析】
【详解】结合汉语提示可知,横线处填“打扮自己”。dress sb up意为“打扮某人”,动作的执行者和承受者为同一个,此处用反身代词herself“她自己”;根据“headed for the party”可知,时态为一般过去时,此处用动词过去式。故填dressed herself up。
