We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world. We have had our share of storms in the past — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren’t fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear. Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we’d have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. We’re ready for the next storm, but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons. Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready... not when the storm arrives. 21. Which can replace the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 1? A. Power cuts. B. Traffic accidents. C. Bad weathers. D. Natural disasters. 22. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of storing up daily goods. B The experience of dealing with housework. C. The items the author bought for her daily life. D. The preparations the author made for emergency. 23. What does the author think of experiencing the past storms? A. It was satisfactory. B. It was instructive. C. It was unforgettable. D. It was unbearable. 24. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. When it rains, it pours. B. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. Take precautions before it is too late. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B 24. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者经历过暴风雨后就懂得要为下一次暴风雨做好准备。作者通过自身经历告诉我们要未雨绸缪，要为人生中出现的困境随时做好准备。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前一句提到“Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees(我们所在的地区刚刚进入飓风艾尔玛的路径，导致树木倒塌)”及后一句提到“We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.( 我们被困在黑暗中，与外界隔绝)”可知，作者和丈夫所在的地区刚刚受到飓风“厄玛”的袭击，导致树木倒下，他们被困，与外界失去联系。由此推知，划线词outages与Power cuts意思接近，意为“停电”。故选A。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. (现在我们已经储存了手电筒、灯笼和蜡烛。 我们买了一台电池供电的收音机来收听新闻。 我们储备了电池，以便我们有足够的时间来应对长时间的电源故障。 我们确保我们的烤架已经准备好并且它的水箱是满的，我们购买的食物可以很容易地准备好，然后在烤架上烹饪或加热。 我们不要忘记购买紧急巧克力！ 我们有书灯可以在黑暗中阅读。 我们将汽车油箱装满，并备有应急现金)”可知，经历了以前的暴风雨之后，作者随时准备了照明用的东西、电池，还有烤架、食物，汽车油箱也加满了油，手头还有应急现金。由此可知，第三段主要讲述了作者为以后的暴风雨所做的准备。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a storm in the past. (但如果我们过去没有遇到风暴，我们就不会学会做所有这些事情)”以及“They can teach us some valuable lessons. (他们可以教给我们一些宝贵的经验)”可推知，作者认为曾经经历过的暴风雨对他们是有益的。故选B。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now is the time to get ready. . . not when the storm arrives. (现在是做好准备的时候了……不是在暴风雨来临的时候)”可知，作者认为现在要为以后的暴风雨做准备，而不是当暴风雨来临的时候才准备。由此推知，作者的故事告诉我们一定要未雨绸缪。故选D。 B After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you. Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities, which opened up many new doors for me. Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on college applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and ready to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. Furthermore, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews. Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time with good people to fall back on. The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits ( 益 处 ) it brings.The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, making the most of time, and being organized are those you will meet every single day of your life, but you can learn all of them in clubs. So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now. 25. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “profit”in paragraph 1? A. Cheer up. B. Go against. C. Make use of. D. Be good for. 26. What do colleges think highly of according to the text? A. The number of clubs you have joined. B. The strong relationships you have built. C. The bright personality you have developed. D. The similar interests you share with other students. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Should You Join a Club? B. What Club Should You Join? C. How Can You Join a Club You Like? D. Should You Join a Second Club? 28. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Health. B. School life. C. Culture. D. Social work. 【答案】25. D 26. C 27. A 28. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对于一名刚进高中生的学生，学校有很多俱乐部，加入学校俱乐部对高中生活学习有很大的好处。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one.(进入高中后，你会发现学校里有很多俱乐部。你可能觉得自己太忙了，没时间参加)”以及“But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly”可知but表示转折，说明参加俱乐部是有好处的。故划线词意思是“对……有好处”。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and ready to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. Furthermore, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews.(外向被认为是一种很好的品质，这表明你有决心，准备好把自己放在那里，最好的是尝试新事物。此外，它可以帮助你培养在未来大学面试中有用的技能)”可知，大学重视你培养出的活力个性。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you.(进入高中后，你会发现学校里有很多俱乐部。你可能觉得自己太忙了，没时间参加。但作为一名高中毕业生，我可以告诉你，参加学校社团对你大有裨益)”结合文章主要说明了参加俱乐部的好处。故A选项“你为什么要加入一个俱乐部？”最符合文章标题。故选A。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you.(进入高中后，你会发现学校里有很多俱乐部。你可能觉得自己太忙了，没时间参加。但作为一名高中毕业生，我可以告诉你，参加学校社团对你大有裨益)”可推知，这篇文章可以出现在杂志的学校生活部分。故选B。 C Everyday Food by Martha Stewart No matter how busy you are, at the end of the day you want meals that are easy to prepare.

I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning, and I never tried to get out of any work. I stayed after school every chance I got. I did most of the work I could, got the best grades I could, and in the end, I graduated from high school with honors. All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me, pushed me, and made learning a fun thing to do. At the beginning of the school year, I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings, but Mrs. Trainer always sat with me, talked with me, and helped me feel OK without my mom. She was understanding, kind, and always made the classroom a comfortable place. Mrs. Trainer also sat down and helped me learn; I was, and still am, the worst speller, but she tried her hardest to help me. The second was my senior high school English teacher, Mr. Stonerock. Mr. Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun, especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in. Some of my favorite high school memories were in his classes. Mr. Stonerock also taught my class APA format (格式) which to me is invaluable. I use it every day in my life. He put up with so many shenanigans (恶作剧) from my classmates and me and always did it with a smile. My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes, high school level classes, or primary level classes. I have had more influential teachers than I can count. I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers, who give me life advice and guide me. Teachers are invaluable resources and no one can take their place. 32. Which of the following can best describe the author as a student? A. Creative and proud. B. Confident and polite. C. Kind-hearted and honest. D. Hard-working and excellent. 33. How did Mrs. Trainer help the author? A. By teaching him like a mother. B. By helping him to be the best speller. C. By asking him easy questions in class. D. By learning about his habits from his mother. 34. What is the most useful skill the author learnt from Mr. Stonerock? A. How to finish papers quickly. B. How to learn English in a fun way. C. How to use APA format correctly. D. How to get on well with classmates. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show how to be a good teacher. B. To stress teachers’ duties and responsibilities. C. To stress teachers’ importance to the author. D. To share the author’s experience as a teacher. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者的学生时代。作者强调了教师对作者的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more. I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning, and I never tried to get out of any work. I stayed after school every chance I got. I did most of the work I could, got the best grades I could, and in the end, I graduated from high school with honors.(学校一直是我喜欢的，因为我总是喜欢学习更多。我从不害怕一大早去学校，也从不试图逃避任何工作。放学后我一有机会就留下来。我做了我能做的大部分工作，取得了最好的成绩，最后，我以优异的成绩从高中毕业)”可知，作者的学生时代勤奋、优秀。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Trainer always sat with me, talked with me, and helped me feel OK without my mom. She was understanding, kind, and always made the classroom a comfortable place. Mrs. Trainer also sat down and helped me learn; I was, and still am, the worst speller, but she tried her hardest to help me. (Trainer总是坐在我身边，和我聊天，帮助我在没有妈妈的情况下感觉很好。她善解人意，和蔼可亲，总是把教室变成一个舒适的地方。特雷纳太太也坐下来帮助我学习；我过去是，现在仍然是，拼写最差的，但她尽了最大的努力来帮助我)”可知，Mrs. Trainer像母亲一样教育作者。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mr. Stonerock also taught my class APA format (格式) which to me is invaluable. I use it every day in my life. (斯通洛克先生还教我的班级APA格式，这对我来说是非常宝贵的。我每天都在用它)”可知，作者从Mr. Stonerock学到最有用的技能是如何正确使用APA格式。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes, high school level classes, or primary level classes. I have had more influential teachers than I can count. I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers, who give me life advice and guide me. Teachers are invaluable resources and no one can take their place.(我想说的是，无论他们教的是大学水平的课程、高中水平的课程还是小学水平的课程，都有很棒的、有爱心的老师。我有很多有影响力的老师，我都数不清。我仍然和我的一些高中老师保持联系，他们给我的人生建议和指导。教师是宝贵的资源，没有人可以取代他们的位置)”可知，这篇文章的目的是为了强调教师对作者的重要性。故选C。 第二节（满分12.5分） There is an English saying that goes, “He who laughs last, laughs the hardest.” High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days. ____36____, because he was always the smallest in his class and he was laughed at because he had a big space between his teeth.

However, I always ignored the area behind my ears on purpose though my mom would often remind me. One summer, in July of that year, my mom drove me to my grandparents’ house for our annual summer holiday visit. When we arrived, I was told that Grandma had gone on a trip with her friends and wouldn’t be back for another two weeks. Feeling a bit down, I went to the yard to play while my mom and grandpa caught up on some things. Although I couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, I had a strong feeling they were talking about me based on their gestures and expressions. Later, my mom returned home, and she would come back to pick me up two months later. After dinner that night, Grandpa asked me to take a bath before going to bed. Since I loved taking baths, I happily agreed. With the bathtub (浴缸) filled with water, Grandpa reminded me, “Just make sure you clean the area behind your ears really well. You wouldn’t want potatoes to start growing there, would you?” “Potatoes?” I stopped in my tracks and turned back to look at him. “Yes, potatoes. If you don’t clean the dirt behind your ears, potatoes might actually sprout (发芽) and grow there,” he explained, causing my eyes to widen in surprise. “But I don’t have any potatoes behind my ears, Grandpa,” I said as I ran my fingers along the back of my ears. He took a quick glance and replied, “Oh, I see a couple of sprouts: starting right there!” He urged me to get into the bathtub immediately and scrub (擦洗) them away thoroughly. I nodded, still in disbelief. This was the first time I had ever heard such a thing. Why hadn’t my parents warned me about this before? I wondered, but couldn’t find an answer. Nonetheless, I felt shocked by Grandpa’s warning. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I hurried to jump into the bathtub, carefully scrubbing behind my ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “What are you looking at behind your ears?” Grandma asked me curiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I hurried to jump into the bathtub, carefully scrubbing behind my ears. I spent a considerable amount of time ensuring every bit of dirt was gone. When I finally finished bathing, I grabbed a handheld mirror and carefully checked each ear for any signs of potato sprouts. Grandpa noticed my actions and checked my ears with a smile, saying, “Ah, the potato sprouts are all gone.” I felt relieved. From that day forward, I developed a habit of cleaning the area behind my ears and even using mirrors to check. Eventually, Grandma returned home. That evening, as I examined my ears once again, she noticed. “What are you looking at behind your ears?” Grandma asked me curiously. “I’m checking for ‘potato sprouts’,” I replied. She stared at me, puzzled. After I explained, she chuckled and said, “Oh, your grandpa was just teasing you.” “What?” I exclaimed. It was then that I realized I had been completely fooled and then burst into laughter with Grandma. Despite the childish trick, I continued to clean the area behind my ears regularly because it had already become a habit. Grandpa continued with his other “ear stories” for years to come. I was deeply touched by his sense of humor and wisdom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了作者从大概四岁的时候开始自己洗脸，虽然妈妈经常提醒他不要漏掉耳朵后面的地方，但是作者还是会忽略掉那里。一个夏天，妈妈带着作者去爷爷奶奶家过暑假，奶奶外出旅行了，妈妈和爷爷谈论完一些事情后也离开了，计划两个月后回来接作者。晚上洗澡的时候，爷爷提醒作者要把耳朵后面的地方洗干净，不然那里会长出土豆，作者非常困惑，爷爷为作者解释了一番，敦促他赶紧洗干净，作者不太相信爷爷的解释，感到很震惊。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我赶紧跳进浴缸，小心翼翼地擦洗耳后”可知，第一段可描写作者仔细地清洗耳朵后面的地方，检查那里没有长出土豆，以及作者养成了清洗耳朵后面的地方的习惯，并被回家了的奶奶注意到。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘你在看耳朵后面的什么？’奶奶好奇地问我”可知，第二段可描写作者给奶奶解释自己这样做的原因，奶奶道出真相，以及作者之后保留了清洗耳朵后面的地方的好习惯。 2. 续写线索：作者擦洗耳后——作者检查耳后清洗干净——作者养成了清洗耳后的习惯——奶奶提问——作者和奶奶的交流——作者保留清洗耳后的习惯 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：ensure/guarantee ②完成：finish/complete ③注意到：notice/spot/observe ④回家：return home/come back home ⑤回复：reply/answer ⑥解释：explain/clarify ⑦意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①疑惑的：puzzled/confused ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I finally finished bathing, I grabbed a handheld mirror and carefully checked each ear for any signs of potato sprouts.

We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world. We have had our share of storms in the past — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren’t fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear. Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we’d have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. We’re ready for the next storm but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons. Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready... not when the storm arrives. 21. Which can replace the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 1? A. Power cuts. B. Traffic accidents. C. Bad weathers. D. Natural disasters. 22. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of storing up daily goods. B. The experience of dealing with housework. C. The items the author bought for her daily life. D. The preparations the author made for emergency. 23. What does the author think of experiencing the past storms? A. It was satisfactory. B. It was instructive. C. It was unforgettable. D. It was unbearable. 24. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. When it rains, it pours. B. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. Take precautions before it is too late. B After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you. Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities, which opened up many new doors for me. Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on college applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and ready to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. Furthermore, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews. Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time with good people to fall back on.

I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning, and I never tried to get out of any work. I stayed after school every chance I got. I did most of the work I could, got the best grades I could, and in the end, I graduated from high school with honors. All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me, pushed me, and made learning a fun thing to do. At the beginning of the school year, I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings, but Mrs. Trainer always sat with me, talked with me, and helped me feel OK without my mom. She was understanding, kind, and always made the classroom a comfortable place. Mrs. Trainer also sat down and helped me learn; I was, and still am, the worst speller, but she tried her hardest to help me. The second was my senior high school English teacher, Mr. Stonerock. Mr. Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun, especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in. Some of my favorite high school memories were in his classes. Mr. Stonerock also taught my class APA format (格式) which to me is invaluable. I use it every day in my life. He put up with so many shenanigans (恶作剧) from my classmates and me and always did it with a smile. My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes, high school level classes, or primary level classes. I have had more influential teachers than I can count. I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers, who give me life advice and guide me. Teachers are invaluable resources and no one can take their place. 32. Which of the following can best describe the author as a student? A. Creative and proud. B. Confident and polite. C. Kind-hearted and honest. D. Hard-working and excellent. 33. How did Mrs. Trainer help the author? A. By teaching him like a mother. B. By helping him to be the best speller. C. By asking him easy questions in class. D. By learning about his habits from his mother. 34. What is the most useful skill the author learnt from Mr. Stonerock? A. How to finish papers quickly. B. How to learn English in a fun way. C. How to use APA format correctly. D. How to get on well with classmates. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show how to be a good teacher. B. To stress teachers’ duties and responsibilities. C. To stress teachers’ importance to the author. D. To share the author’s experience as a teacher. 第二节（满分12.5分） There is an English saying that goes, “He who laughs last, laughs the hardest.” High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days. ____36____, because he was always the smallest in his class and he was laughed at because he had a big space between his teeth.

However, I always ignored the area behind my ears on purpose though my mom would often remind me. One summer, in July of that year, my mom drove me to my grandparents’ house for our annual summer holiday visit. When we arrived, I was told that Grandma had gone on a trip with her friends and wouldn’t be back for another two weeks. Feeling a bit down, I went to the yard to play while my mom and grandpa caught up on some things. Although I couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, I had a strong feeling they were talking about me based on their gestures and expressions. Later, my mom returned home, and she would come back to pick me up two months later. After dinner that night, Grandpa asked me to take a bath before going to bed. Since I loved taking baths, I happily agreed. With the bathtub (浴缸) filled with water, Grandpa reminded me, “Just make sure you clean the area behind your ears really well. You wouldn’t want potatoes to start growing there, would you?” “Potatoes?” I stopped in my tracks and turned back to look at him. “Yes, potatoes. If you don’t clean the dirt behind your ears, potatoes might actually sprout (发芽) and grow there,” he explained, causing my eyes to widen in surprise. “But I don’t have any potatoes behind my ears, Grandpa,” I said as I ran my fingers along the back of my ears. He took a quick glance and replied, “Oh, I see a couple of sprouts: starting right there!” He urged me to get into the bathtub immediately and scrub (擦洗) them away thoroughly. I nodded, still in disbelief. This was the first time I had ever heard such a thing. Why hadn’t my parents warned me about this before? I wondered, but couldn’t find an answer. Nonetheless, I felt shocked by Grandpa’s warning. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I hurried to jump into the bathtub, carefully scrubbing behind my ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “What are you looking at behind your ears?” Grandma asked me curiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
