The first time I met Jane, we became best friends. We enjoyed the same things. We were excited to find each other. Our families became friends and everyone knew wherever you found Jane, you found me. Jane was at my house quite often that summer. We played and practised flutes (长笛) .
When school began, we talked on the phone and went over to each other’s houses. Then it seemed as if we were put to a test. We both made new friends. Jane started to hang out with hers. We seldom talked on the phone. When we did take a minute to talk, one of her new friends would come up and Jane would walk away with her, leaving me hurt.
I’m sure she didn’t know how bad I felt. I began to hang around with my new friends, but it wasn’t the same. I met Erma, also a friend of Jane’s. She was in the same situation. We decided to talk to Jane.
The call was not easy. However, when we talked on the phone, we were friends again. I explained my feelings and so did she. I realized I was not the only one hurting. She also felt left out. There were times when I didn’t even notice I was ignoring (忽视) her. We talked for a long time and I felt a heavy weight lifted off my heart. I felt so happy. We decided we wanted to be with our new friends, but would never forget the fun and friendship we had.
Today, I look back on all of this. Jane is not my best friend anymore, but more like my sister. We still enjoy the same things. Jane taught me that things change, people change but it doesn’t mean you forget the past. It simply means you move on and treasure all the memories.
4. What can we learn about the author and Jane from the first paragraph?
A. They often studied together. B. Jane was the author’s first friend.
C. They had much in common. D. The author had only one friend.
5. What was wrong with the author and Jane when school started?

C. They argued with each other. D. They were unwilling to talk to each other.
6. How did the author feel after talking to Jane on the phone?

Being able to run 26. 2 miles means you’ re in good health, right? Not exactly. We’ve already found some of the benefits (好处) of long-distance running, but now we’ll see the darker side of the marathon.
Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat.
It’s obvious that running affects the heart, but did you know running can increase the size of the heart? Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ. After that the hearts can lead to irregular heartbeat, which can lead to heart failure.
Some marathoners think their fitness level absolves them from health problems. This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners. There are ways to reduce your risk factors. Don’t think you can eat or drink whatever you want because running will burn off the calories — diets rich in fat can lead to heart problems.
In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running.
8. Why were the examples of Jim Fixx and Ryan Sha y given?
A. To show the possible danger of the marathon. B. To take pity on their death.
C. To tell the importance of regular exercise. D. To call on people not to exercise by themselves.
9. How does the heart manage to provide the increased need of blood?
A. By beating faster. B. By enlarging itself.
C. By beating more heavily. D. By working with other body parts.
10. What does the underlined word “absolves” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Shapes. B. Separates. C. Frees. D. Advises.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Having a rest after injuries. B. Paying more attention to other injuries.
C. Stopping running completely. D. Being careful and having fun running.
D
Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us.
Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame. It’s also a helpful guide to caring for our planet. Our planet is unique for many reasons, but its fresh water and oxygen (氧气) are two key things. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, with most of that water lying in our planet’s oceans. About a fifth of the air is oxygen, produced by plants. But water and air pollution is becoming more and more serious. The state of the natural world is alarming, making it a must for us to be knowledgeable about. But the future of Earth doesn’t have to be a negative one. This amazing children’s book has some cheerful pictures as it explains the planet we live on.
By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child-friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation. The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it.
Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present a new discovery. B. To show we are a family on Earth.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To explain the secret of Earth.
13. What makes Our Earth a perfect book to educate children?
A. Its clear ideas. B. Its writing style.
C. Its colourful pictures. D. Its useful knowledge.
14 What may the author agree with?
A. Every small act counts. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A review of a play. B. A story on the Earth.
C. An introduction to a book. D. An advertisement for an activity.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中逃出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A Few Simple Ways to Get Inspired
Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes. ___16___
Keep an idea book or an inspiration board.
Inspiration might not come all at once. ___17___ With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on. If you like working with words, create an idea book where you can write down ideas. If you’ re more visual (视觉的), take pictures that inspire you and turn them into a vision board.
___18___
Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration. Alternating between REM and non-REM sleep helps your brain reshape networks, making you more likely to think up ideas when you wake up.
Spend time in nature.
___19___ And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas.
Play and laugh.
Spending some of your free time with children can· bring inspiration closer to the surface. Your creativity decreases as you age, and children are experts in play, which is all about experimenting and opening up new possibilities. Looking at the world through open eyes can be a powerful source of creative inspiration. Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration. ___20___
A. Go to sleep.
B. Stick to your sleeping habit.
C. Even just reading a book could prompt inspiration.
D. Experts recommend using humour at work to get ideas.

You’d better come quickly! ” The cry of a little girl and the shouting of people around her came through the line. She looked back at her daughter, who was watching TV. That’s when she understood what was going on.
Of course, she could have just put the phone down and ignored it because it had nothing to do with her. But she was a teacher; it could have been one of her students. During the call, she could imagine that the little girl who had done wrong must have been afraid to face the situation alone. After hesitating (犹豫) , she asked for the bookstore’s address and hurried over.
Just as she expected, a little girl with tears stood in the bookstore while the adults around her strictly scolded (责骂) her. She rushed up to the poor little girl, held her in her arms, and turned to the salesperson next to her, saying, “What’s the matter? You can talk to me; I’m her mother. Please stop scolding the child. ” After learning the fact, she paid the fine before taking the little girl out of the bookstore. Then the teacher saw the girl’s face, a mix of tears and fear on it.

The first time I met Jane, we became best friends. We enjoyed the same things. We were excited to find each other. Our families became friends and everyone knew wherever you found Jane, you found me. Jane was at my house quite often that summer. We played and practised flutes (长笛) .
When school began, we talked on the phone and went over to each other’s houses. Then it seemed as if we were put to a test. We both made new friends. Jane started to hang out with hers. We seldom talked on the phone. When we did take a minute to talk, one of her new friends would come up and Jane would walk away with her, leaving me hurt.
I’m sure she didn’t know how bad I felt. I began to hang around with my new friends, but it wasn’t the same. I met Erma, also a friend of Jane’s. She was in the same situation. We decided to talk to Jane.
The call was not easy. However, when we talked on the phone, we were friends again. I explained my feelings and so did she. I realized I was not the only one hurting. She also felt left out. There were times when I didn’t even notice I was ignoring (忽视) her. We talked for a long time and I felt a heavy weight lifted off my heart. I felt so happy. We decided we wanted to be with our new friends, but would never forget the fun and friendship we had.
Today, I look back on all of this. Jane is not my best friend anymore, but more like my sister. We still enjoy the same things. Jane taught me that things change, people change but it doesn’t mean you forget the past. It simply means you move on and treasure all the memories.

Being able to run 26. 2 miles means you’ re in good health, right? Not exactly. We’ve already found some of the benefits (好处) of long-distance running, but now we’ll see the darker side of the marathon.
Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat.
It’s obvious that running affects the heart, but did you know running can increase the size of the heart? Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ. After that the hearts can lead to irregular heartbeat, which can lead to heart failure.
Some marathoners think their fitness level absolves them from health problems. This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners. There are ways to reduce your risk factors. Don’t think you can eat or drink whatever you want because running will burn off the calories — diets rich in fat can lead to heart problems.
In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running.
8. Why were the examples of Jim Fixx and Ryan Sha y given?
A. To show the possible danger of the marathon. B. To take pity on their death.
C. To tell the importance of regular exercise. D. To call on people not to exercise by themselves.
9. How does the heart manage to provide the increased need of blood?
A. By beating faster. B. By enlarging itself.
C. By beating more heavily. D. By working with other body parts.
10. What does the underlined word “absolves” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Shapes. B. Separates. C. Frees. D. Advises.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Having a rest after injuries. B. Paying more attention to other injuries.
C. Stopping running completely. D. Being careful and having fun running.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了马拉松这项运动的负面影响,包括可能导致的健康问题和其他运动损伤。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat.(马拉松运动员在训练或比赛中死亡通常会成为头条新闻,因为这些悲剧看起来太不寻常了——谁能比跑步者更健康,更不容易死亡呢?著名跑步运动员吉姆·菲克斯于1984年去世,享年52岁。在这种情况下,动脉壁变厚,导致流经它们的血液减少。2007年,28岁的Ryan Shay在参加美国奥运会马拉松选拔赛时死亡。他死于心律不齐)”可知,举吉姆·菲克斯和瑞安·沙伊的例子是为了表明马拉松可能存在的危险。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ.(当运动员进行体育训练时,心脏会变得更大。身体通过增大器官的大小来供应所需的更多的血液)”可知,心脏通过扩大自身来满足不断增加的血液需求。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“them from health problems(……他们……健康问题)”以及“This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners.(事实并非如此。医学检查可以发现导致跑步者死亡和受伤的危险因素)”可知,划线词所在句提出了相反的事实,说明一些马拉松运动员认为他们的健康水平使他们免受健康问题的困扰。故划线词意思是“使……免于”。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running.(除了这些运动中危及生命的方面,还有其他需要注意的运动损伤。这些大多是过度使用或过度训练造成的损伤,可以通过适当的休息来预防。虽然你应该谨慎地进行这项运动,但你也应该享受跑步的乐趣)”可知,作者在最后一段暗示了小心并享受跑步的乐趣。故选D。

A Few Simple Ways to Get Inspired
Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes. ___16___
Keep an idea book or an inspiration board.
Inspiration might not come all at once. ___17___ With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on. If you like working with words, create an idea book where you can write down ideas. If you’ re more visual (视觉的), take pictures that inspire you and turn them into a vision board.
___18___
Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration.

Spend time in nature.
___19___ And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas.
Play and laugh.
Spending some of your free time with children can· bring inspiration closer to the surface. Your creativity decreases as you age, and children are experts in play, which is all about experimenting and opening up new possibilities. Looking at the world through open eyes can be a powerful source of creative inspiration. Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration. ___20___

【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这之所以成为可能有很多原因,但其中一个主要因素是中国的书写体系。factor是可数名词,根据前文的one of意为“……中之一”可知,此处应用可数名词复数形式,作宾语。故填factors。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:它可以追溯到几千年前龙骨——动物的骨头和外壳的使用,上面有中国古代人刻的符号。固定短语date back to…意为“追溯到……”,to是介词。故填to。
40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:今天汉字中的一些古代符号仍然可以看到。此处作谓语动词,主语为Some of the ancient symbols,与see之间为被动关系,且根据空前的情态动词can可知,此处应用动词原形,故填be seen。

【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:今天,中国的书写体系仍然是中国文化的一个重要组成部分。此处part为可数名词,且泛指“一个重要的组成部分”,应用不定冠词修饰,important的读音以元音音素开头,因此应用冠词an,故填an。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:随着中国在全球事务中扮演着越来越重要的角色,越来越多的留学生开始通过这种神奇的语言来欣赏中国的文化和历史。此处culture和history之间为并列关系,所以用连词and连接。故填and。

【答案】Saving the Wildlife
In the last few years, the population of many wild animals has dropped sharply, putting them at the risk of extinction and triggering great concern in society.
Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the wildlife is endangered. In many places where the wildlife can be found, people are destroying their natural habitats, leaving them nowhere to live. Poachers are also threatening their lives. To save the wildlife, we should take effective measures. We’d better plant more trees so as to restore their sweet home and build more reserves.
In a shared world with a shared future, saving the wildlife is saving ourselves. Let’s contribute every effort to saving them before it is too late!

You’d better come quickly! ” The cry of a little girl and the shouting of people around her came through the line. She looked back at her daughter, who was watching TV. That’s when she understood what was going on.
Of course, she could have just put the phone down and ignored it because it had nothing to do with her. But she was a teacher; it could have been one of her students. During the call, she could imagine that the little girl who had done wrong must have been afraid to face the situation alone. After hesitating (犹豫) , she asked for the bookstore’s address and hurried over.
Just as she expected, a little girl with tears stood in the bookstore while the adults around her strictly scolded (责骂) her. She rushed up to the poor little girl, held her in her arms, and turned to the salesperson next to her, saying, “What’s the matter? You can talk to me; I’m her mother. Please stop scolding the child. ” After learning the fact, she paid the fine before taking the little girl out of the bookstore. Then the teacher saw the girl’s face, a mix of tears and fear on it.
