Sometimes I saw her sitting at the gate. Sometimes I saw her hiding under my car. Sometimes she even sneaked (潜行) under my house. Each time I walked close to her, however, she ran away. Finally, I gave up and decided to give her some independence. Recently, though, something strange happened. This independent stray cat decided to adopt (接纳) my daughter, Beth. Each time Beth walks over to my house from her place up the road, she is welcomed by the stray cat. The cat walks between her legs, purrs and meows until she gets petted (抚摸). And Beth always stops and pets the cat gently. The cat begins to follow Beth around more and more. It happened day after day until this morning when Beth left her a bowl of cat food. I guess that ended the cat’s straying life because Beth even started calling the cat “Alice”. I don’t know if Alice will ever want to become an indoor cat, but she seems to have made Beth her forever friend. Beth always has the kindness and love to draw all kinds of animals to her from dogs, to cats, to birds. Isn’t it amazing how love works its way into our hearts and lives? We a reminding our own business and suddenly we have a new pet, or a new friend, or find a moment to share in an act of kindness. Let your love pass on to the lives of others, because to love is to truly live and to live is to truly love. 26. How did the cat probably feel when she saw Beth come over? A. Afraid. B. Happy. C. Angry. D. Independent. 27. What is the writer still not sure of? A. That the cat may want to eat the bowl of food. B. That the cat may like her name “Alice”. C. That the cat will want to be an indoor pet. D. That the cat may see Bet has a forever friend. 28. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Stay away from any stray animal. B. Share kindness and pass love on. C. Always be ready to help stray cats. D. Take care of your own business. 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者女儿和一只流浪猫成为朋友的故事。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The cat walks between her legs, purrs and meows until she gets petted (抚摸).”可推知，看到贝丝走过来，这只猫感到很开心。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I don’t know if Alice will ever want to become an indoor cat, but she seems to have made Beth her forever friend.”可知，作者不确定这只猫是否想成为家宠。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Let your love pass on to the lives of others, because to love is to truly live and to live is to truly love.”可知，本文主要讲述了作者女儿和一只流浪猫成为朋友的故事，希望大家要分享善意，传递爱。故选B。 （B） When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument（争吵）with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 29. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents. C. She walked out of the classroom. D. She brought the boys to her desk. 30. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in paragraph 2? A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Afraid. D. Thankful. 31. Why did the writer give two different answers? A. Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B. Because he changed his place with Tony. C. Because he wanted to have another argument. D. Because he turned around the object. 32. What would the writer probably do after this lesson? A. He would forget the arguments. B. He would sit in the front of the class. C. He might shake hands with Tony. D. He might listen to the teacher carelessly. 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在8年级时跟同学产生了一次激烈的争吵，老师让作者和另外一位同学明白，要学会站在对方的角度去考虑问题。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other”可知老师先把这两位男孩带到桌子前，故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“ ‘White,’ Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! ‘Clearly, it was black!’ ”可知作者看到的是黑色，而Tony回答是白色，所以Tony的回答让作者感到惊讶，故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black.”可知因为作者再次站在不同的方向时，看到这个物体是另一个颜色，所以给出了两个不同的答案，故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.”可知自从那以后作者和Tony成为了好朋友，由此可推断经过这个事情他们会握手言和，故选C。 （C） You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong! Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying! Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move. You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results? Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus. So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well. 33. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______. A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies C. show the importance of a good study habit D. express the writer’s worry about their friendship 34. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage? A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies. C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation. D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together. 36. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Are you studying the “right” way? B. How can you improve your study habits? C. Is it possible for friends to study well together? D. What are the advantages of different study settings? 【答案】33. A 34. C 35. B 36. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。每个人的学习方式各不相同，通过实例证明，研究适合你的方式就是最好的学习方式。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文可知，凯莉和玛丽亚有各自不同的学习方式，但他们都在学校表现优异，而且都在规定的时间内完成了学业，所以作为这篇文章中的例子，是为了讨论两种不同的学习习惯。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据前句“Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go,”后句“Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.”的语境可推测出，空处应是表示转折，说安静整洁的环境不一定是学习的好方法。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中“Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.”可推理出，这两种学习习惯都可以帮助学生在学习上取得进步。故选B。 【36题详解】 最佳标题。每个人的学习方式各不相同，通过实例证明，研究适合你的方式就是最好的学习方式。故文章的最佳标题应是“你在研究‘正确’的方法吗”。故选A。 (D) Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream > Believe > Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is. I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality. 37. Which does the writer add to the famous formula? A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create. 38. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties. 39. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”? A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it. C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge. 40. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Doing Something Valuable B. Studying Hard and Making Progress C. Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D. Separating Successful People from Dreams 【答案】37. A 38. D 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了每个人对未来都有梦想和目标，但是只有梦想和目标是不够的，行动才是连接梦想和目标与现实的桥梁。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中“Dream > Believe > Achieve和Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”可推理出，作者在著名的公式中添加了行动。故选A。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后句“We must face them bravely and solve them.”由我们必须勇敢地面对并解决这些问题，可猜测出，前句应是：让我们记住，我们的生活中会有困难，故下划线单词的意思应是“困难”。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。通读倒数第二段内容，尤其根据“We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.”可推理出，作者用“Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”公式是为了支持他的观点。故选A。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，主要介绍了每个人对未来都有梦想和目标，但是只有梦想和目标是不够的，行动才是连接梦想和目标与现实的桥梁。故文章的最佳标题“坚持行动实现梦想”。故选C。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 With the development of science, more and more students don’t like taking notes by hand. ___41___ They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class. ___42___ They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras (数码相机). In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology. But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier? The answer is no. You have to do a lot of things before you read notes from digital cameras. ___43___ Then you need to send the pictures into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer to print the pictures. Another thing is that you can’t hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything. ___44___ It can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down. ___45___ A. The children might think there are too many notes to take. B. You don’t have to write down everything. C. In fact, taking notes by hand is really the most effective way. D. Instead, they use digital cameras to take notes in class. E. To begin with, you have to find a computer. 【答案】41 D 42. A 43. E 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】文章分析了“用数码相机记笔记”的弊端，建议使用“手写笔记”。 【41题详解】 根据下一句“They think it is easier to take pictures of…”可知，句中的“it”可以拍下老师在黑板上写的东西或记录老师在课堂上说的话，再结合下文“so they use digital cameras (数码相机) .”，可知“it”指“数码相机”；可推出空处与“digital cameras”有关，选项D“相反，他们在课堂上用数码相机做笔记。”符合语境，故选D。 【42题详解】 根据下一句“They are trying to find ways to make things easier…”可知，学生试图找到使事情变得更容易的方法，所以空处会体现“学生遇到的难处”，选项A“孩子们可能认为要记的笔记太多了。”符合语境，故选A。 【43题详解】 根据下一句“Then…”可推出，空处会提到“第一步该如何做”，选项E“首先，你必须找到一台电脑。”符合语境，故选E。 【44题详解】 根据下一句“It can help you remember and understand what you are learning.”，因为上文都是在讲用数码相机记笔记的种种“弊端”，而此句意为“它可以帮助你记住和理解你正在学习的东西。”，所以句中的“It”不是指“digital cameras”，而是指文章开头提到的“taking notes by hand”；因此空处与“taking notes by hand”有关，选项C“事实上，手写笔记确实是最有效的方法。”符合语境，故选C。 【45题详解】 根据上一句“In order to save time you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down.”可知，为了节省时间，你可以选择最重要的事情或你不理解的事情写下来，选项B“你不必把所有的东西都写下来。”符合语境，故选B。 四、写作（共三节；满分30分） 第一节 短文填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Kuang Heng was a famous and important person in the Han Dynasty.

Sometimes I saw her sitting at the gate. Sometimes I saw her hiding under my car. Sometimes she even sneaked (潜行) under my house. Each time I walked close to her, however, she ran away. Finally, I gave up and decided to give her some independence. Recently, though, something strange happened. This independent stray cat decided to adopt (接纳) my daughter, Beth. Each time Beth walks over to my house from her place up the road, she is welcomed by the stray cat. The cat walks between her legs, purrs and meows until she gets petted (抚摸). And Beth always stops and pets the cat gently. The cat begins to follow Beth around more and more. It happened day after day until this morning when Beth left her a bowl of cat food. I guess that ended the cat’s straying life because Beth even started calling the cat “Alice”. I don’t know if Alice will ever want to become an indoor cat, but she seems to have made Beth her forever friend. Beth always has the kindness and love to draw all kinds of animals to her from dogs, to cats, to birds. Isn’t it amazing how love works its way into our hearts and lives? We a reminding our own business and suddenly we have a new pet, or a new friend, or find a moment to share in an act of kindness. Let your love pass on to the lives of others, because to love is to truly live and to live is to truly love. 26. How did the cat probably feel when she saw Beth come over? A. Afraid. B. Happy. C. Angry. D. Independent. 27. What is the writer still not sure of? A. That the cat may want to eat the bowl of food. B. That the cat may like her name “Alice”. C. That the cat will want to be an indoor pet. D. That the cat may see Bet has a forever friend. 28. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Stay away from any stray animal. B. Share kindness and pass love on. C. Always be ready to help stray cats. D. Take care of your own business. （B） When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument（争吵）with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 29. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents. C. She walked out of the classroom. D. She brought the boys to her desk. 30. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in paragraph 2? A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Afraid. D. Thankful. 31. Why did the writer give two different answers? A. Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B. Because he changed his place with Tony. C. Because he wanted to have another argument. D. Because he turned around the object. 32. What would the writer probably do after this lesson? A. He would forget the arguments. B. He would sit in the front of the class. C. He might shake hands with Tony. D. He might listen to the teacher carelessly. （C） You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong! Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying! Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move. You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results? Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus. So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well. 33. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______. A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies C. show the importance of a good study habit D. express the writer’s worry about their friendship 34. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage? A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies. C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation. D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together. 36. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Are you studying the “right” way? B. How can you improve your study habits? C. Is it possible for friends to study well together? D. What are the advantages of different study settings? (D) Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream > Believe > Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is. I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality. 37. Which does the writer add to the famous formula? A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create. 38 What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties. 39. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”? A To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it. C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge. 40. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Doing Something Valuable B. Studying Hard and Making Progress C. Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D. Separating Successful People from Dreams 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 With the development of science more and more students don’t like taking notes by hand. ___41___ They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class. ___42___ They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras (数码相机).
