Every time 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时间状语从句。句意：每次他们去跳舞时，都会以坏心情结束。根据they went dancing, they ended up in a bad mood.可知，空处应用Every time表示“每次”，引导时间状语从句。A项By the time“到……时间为止”，通常与完成时连用，BC两项均为错误表达。故选D。 13. The boy seated himself in the corner with his back to his father. A. turning B. turned C. to be turned D. to turn 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：那个男孩坐在角落里，背对着他的父亲。分析句子结构可知，“with his back ... to his father”是with的复合结构，其中“his back”是“turn”的逻辑主语，且两者之间是被动关系，即“他的背是转过去的/背对着的”，故用“turn”的过去分词形式turned做宾语补足语。故选B。 14.

I’m all thumbs我笨手笨脚的。根据下句“I strongly recommend you go there for your holiday.”可知，答者想推荐问者去西安旅行，说明旅行很棒，B项“我真的很开心”符合语境。故选B项。 第二节：完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) I’ve had the good fortune of spending a lot of time working in London over the years.

Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning. Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back. In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me. Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful. I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were. 41. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class? A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading. 42. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class? A.

But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t. The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.” Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had. Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.” 46. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one? A. Those who join in structured activities. B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day. C. Those who don’t like school sports. D. Those who take part in game lessons. 47. What did the researcher focus on in their research? A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams. C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms. 48. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______. A. understand each other better B. follow the rules C. respect the teachers D. give up 49. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. How scientists carried out the research. B. Why parents were interviewed by phone. C. How kids behaved at home or at school. D. How many sports kids did at school. 50. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph? A. The research will be of great benefit. B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens. C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment. D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员认为体育活动和注意力技巧是密切相关的。参加体育活动的孩子比那些没有参加的孩子表现更好，更善于听从指示，在课堂上保持注意力集中。这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson.”（但是，定期组织学校体育活动有助于孩子们在未来几年的学业。研究人员称，其他“有组织”的活动，如音乐或宗教活动，对注意力的影响不如上）可知，那些经常参加游戏课的学生，在学术研究上可能做得更好。故选D项。 47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.”（琳达·帕加尼教授说:“我们利用家长和老师提供的信息，将幼儿的活动与他们成长过程中的课堂活动进行了比较。）可知，研究者们在研究中主要是针对成长过程中的课堂活动。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”（体育环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是属于一个具有共同目标的团队或特殊群体的感觉——这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。）可知，在体育的环境中学生更有可能学会遵守规则。故选B项。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.”（研究人员开始研究2694名6岁左右的加拿大儿童，让老师填写关于他们在学校行为的问卷。与此同时，这些孩子的父母接受了电话或面对面的采访，了解他们的家庭生活。四年后，为了测试这种行为的影响，这个实验又重复了一次。）可知，这段主要讲了研究者们为了获得研究结果，是如何具体开展实施这项研究的。故选A项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.””（帕加尼教授补充道：“这一结果对那些希望降低儿童肥胖率和低学业成绩的学校来说应该是令人鼓舞的。”）”可知，这项研究非常有益。故选A项。 D From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow. The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome (令人惊叹的) machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice. You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather. You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible. Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence. If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (养育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折). In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success. 51. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______. A. are ready to change their minds B. don’t have the ability to control themselves C. can’t be successful with self-control D. are easily affected by windy weather 52. Losers would think that ______. A. their failure is accidental B. working hard will lead to success C. they are responsible for success D. they should make efforts to succeed 53. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______. A. our success results from our attitudes B. one can rise to the level that one expects C. we should be responsible for our thoughts and beliefs D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action 54. The last paragraph serves as ______. A. the proof of the author’s points B. an introduction to another topic C. the conclusion of the argument D. a comparison between two views 55. Which is the best title for the text? A. The secrets of success. B. How to achieve success. C. Develop our confidence. D. Success depends on you. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. A 54. C 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了成功取决于我们自己。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.(你的自尊水平总是基于你能够控制自己的程度，从而控制你的生活。自卑的人是那些不相信自己拥有任何权力或对自己的生活负责的人。他们是随着天气的突然变化而随风飘荡的树叶)”可知，自卑的人被比作落叶，因为他们没有控制自己的能力。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.(失败者认为一切都是偶然发生的)”可知，失败者认为他们的失败是偶然发生的。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.(我们的成功取决于我们的自信程度)”可知，自信属于态度。由此推知，我们的成功源于我们的态度。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.(简而言之，在你生活的所有领域，无论是金钱、身体、情感还是精神，你都有责任。一旦你认识到这一点，接受它，并坚定地相信它，你就在通往成功的道路上)”可推知，最后一段是对文章论点——成功取决于自己的总结。故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.(相反，要意识到成功的种子在你出生的时候就已经在你体内种下了。只有你有能力让种子生长)”和第二段中“You can be a success if only you make the right choice.(只要你做出正确的选择，你就能成功)”可知，文章主要讨论了成功取决于自己。由此可知，项“成功取决于你”适合做文章标题。故选D。 第II卷 非选择题(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) 阅读文章回答问题。 A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather explained his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” Then the following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee(大黄蜂) on the skylight(天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant. It is not only time that we tend to underestimate — we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life. If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results. Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up(过分自责) when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it. 56. What was out of the author’s expectation when he removed the bumblebee on the skylight?(no more than 15 words) 57. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words) 58. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) 59. According to the passage, how will you deal with what stands on your path? (no more than 15 words) 60. What do you understand the sentence—“Nothing is ever easy.”? (no more than 25 words) 【答案】56. The author spent more time but failed, only to leave a mess living room. Or: The author did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny. 57. Consider. / Calculate. / Estimate. / Think about. / Take… into consideration (account). 58. By accepting that nothing will ever be easy, life might seem slightly more manageable. 59. There is no need to beat ourselves up but give ourselves more time. 60. One possible version: Holding the belief that an unexpected task is part of our life, we shouldspare no effort to improve the situation with positive attitude. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了因为要驱离一只蜜蜂耗费作者一个小时，使得作者理解了祖父的话“没什么是容易的”的内涵。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.（我没有想到要在这么小的一只昆虫上浪费一个小时，但这样一来，我明白了祖父的意思。）”可知，作者没有想到要在这么小的昆虫上浪费一个小时，故答案为The author spent more time but failed, only to leave a mess living room. Or: The author did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny. 【57题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us.（我们经常想象什么对我们有利，但我们很少想到所有可能影响我们的负面事情。）”可猜测，我们没有考虑意外的成本。account for指的是想到考虑，故答案为Consider. / Calculate. / Estimate. / Think about. / Take… into consideration (account). 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable.（如果你能接受没有什么是容易的，那么生活可能看起来会稍微容易一些。）”可知，第三段主要讲的是我们要接受没什么是容易的事实，故答案为By accepting that nothing will ever be easy, life might seem slightly more manageable. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“However, there is no need to beat ourselves upwhen something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.（然而，当某些东西挡在我们的道路上时，我们没有必要打击自己。也许我们看不到一只蜜蜂朝我们走来，但我们总可以给自己额外的时间去捕捉它。）”可知，当有阻碍时没有必要打败自己，给自己多一点时间，故答案为There is no need to beat ourselves up but give ourselves more time. 【60题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life.（感到有挑战是完全可以接受的——即使是一项你认为很简单的任务——因为这是生活的一部分。）”以及第三段“It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life.（在认识到学校不会(也不应该)很容易之后，我发现自己有了更积极的态度，成绩也得到了提高。）”可知，没什么是容易的内涵是相信意想不到的任务是我们生活的一部分，我们应该不遗余力地以积极的态度改善情况，故答案为One possible version: Holding the belief that an unexpected task is part of our life, we should spare no effort to improve the situation with positive attitude. 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 61. 某英语报就中学生课外阅读开展征文活动。假如你是某中学高三学生李津，请你根据下面表格中的信息，写一篇英语稿件，发送到该报。 为什么要课外阅读？ ●课外阅读既能拓展知识， 也是一种休闲娱乐； ●书籍是人类智慧的结晶； ● 中外历史上有很多有关读书的名人名句（举例说明）。 如何才能养成好的课外阅读习惯？ 坚持课外阅读习惯要从小培养。 你的观点（两到三点） 注意：词数不少于100字。开头已经写好，不计入总词数。参考词汇：结晶crystal；课外阅读after-class reading ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear editor, Students today are reading more than ever before. Indeed, the importance of reading can never be too much stressed. First of all reading, especially after-class reading, enriches our mind and broadens our horizons. People say that books are the crystal of human wisdom. Through reading, we learn what can’t be learnt in our classrooms. Besides, reading is also a way of relaxation. It is so refreshing to read a story before going to bed, or after a day of study. There are many famous sayings about reading, like “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”. Then, how can we develop the habit of reading? In the first place, I believe we need to begin from an early age, then stick to it and never give up. In the second place, we should read a variety of books regardless of forms and authors. Finally, I am desperate to call on classmates to read books from now on! Best wishes.

B My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education. Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning. Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back. In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me. Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful. I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were. 41. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class? A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading. 42. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class? A. He asked students to count lines. B. He stressed the importance of play. C. He analyzed literature in a new way. D. He showed great devotion to students. 43. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers. C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points. 44. What best describes the two teachers according to the text? A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict. 45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show love for French literature. B. To explore the meaning of education. C. To explain why teachers are important. D. To share memories of the two teachers. C It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t. The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.” Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had. Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.” 46. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one? A. Those who join in structured activities. B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day. C Those who don’t like school sports. D. Those who take part in game lessons. 47. What did the researcher focus on in their research? A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams. C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms. 48. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______. A. understand each other better B. follow the rules C. respect the teachers D. give up 49. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. How scientists carried out the research. B. Why parents were interviewed by phone. C. How kids behaved at home or at school. D. How many sports kids did at school. 50. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph? A. The research will be of great benefit. B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens. C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment. D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens. D From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow. The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome (令人惊叹的) machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice. You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather. You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible. Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence. If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (养育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折). In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success. 51. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______. A. are ready to change their minds B. don’t have the ability to control themselves C. can’t be successful with self-control D. are easily affected by windy weather 52. Losers would think that ______. A. their failure is accidental B. working hard will lead to success C. they are responsible for success D. they should make efforts to succeed 53. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______. A. our success results from our attitudes B one can rise to the level that one expects C. we should be responsible for our thoughts and beliefs D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action 54. The last paragraph serves as ______. A. the proof of the author’s points B. an introduction to another topic C. the conclusion of the argument D. a comparison between two views 55. Which is the best title for the text? A. The secrets of success. B. How to achieve success. C. Develop our confidence. D. Success depends on you. 第II卷 非选择题(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) 阅读文章回答问题。 A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather explained his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” Then the following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee(大黄蜂) on the skylight(天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant. It is not only time that we tend to underestimate — we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life. If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results. Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up(过分自责) when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it. 56. What was out of the author’s expectation when he removed the bumblebee on the skylight?(no more than 15 words) 57. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words) 58. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) 59. According to the passage, how will you deal with what stands on your path? (no more than 15 words) 60. What do you understand the sentence—“Nothing is ever easy.”?
