These are habits which are not good for us in some way or another. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient（方便的）. We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you. Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up. Find out how bad habits have spoiled（糟蹋）things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule（时间表）of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up. An alarm（闹钟）is something that will prevent you from performing your bad habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off. Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you've made to yourself. Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy. There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a bad habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction（瘾）. Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it. 32. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that________ . A. people find it difficult to break a bad habit B. we must change all the habits we have C. a habit is a terrible thing we can never change D. we can easily change a bad habit 33. According to the passage, if you want to give up your bad habit, you have to ________. A. talk to your family or friends B. find out the reason behind it C. finish your homework first D. spend less time on the Internet 34. Which of the following is NOT a proper way to break a bad habit? A. Know the bad effects that bad habits have brought you. B. Face the fact you have a bad habit and it's bad for you. C. Reward yourself when succeeding in stopping yourself from performing the bad habit. D. Wait until someone reminds you of the promise you've made to yourself. 35. After reading the passage, you'll know ________ . A. how to find out your habits B. how to change your habits C. how to break a bad habit D. how to develop a good habit 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【分析】本文主要讲述如何放弃或者改变一些不好的习惯，给出了一些可行性的建议。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it”可知习惯难改是因为我们已经习惯了做这些事情，选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act.”可知，想要改掉坏习惯需要找到背后的原因，故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you. ”可知改变坏习惯的第一步是接受这个习惯对你不利的事实，故A正确；根据第三段最后一句“You have to face it and then give it up. ”可知必须正视你的坏习惯，故B正确；根据第七段第一句“Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit.”可知每次你阻止了坏习惯之后都可以奖励自己，故C正确。D选项是说要等到有人提醒你自己许下的承诺，而文章倒数第三段说的是告知家人让他们提醒你自己许下的承诺，与D选项表述不符，故D错误，故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句“So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you. ”及下文可知，是针对如何改掉坏习惯提出的一些建议，故选C。 It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, but he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. (Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea) 36. What do you think the Nautilus is? A. A kind of ship under the sea. B. A kind of fish in the sea. C. A kind of plane in the sky. D. A kind of transport on land. 37. ________ didn’t go hunting with others in the forests of Crespo Island under the water. A. Captain Nemo B. Captain Nemo’s man C. Ned D. Conseil 38.

Captain Nemo enjoyed the hunting trip C. there were three people visiting the forest D. it took them 30 minutes to walk through the forest 40. The passage is probably taken from ________. A. a sports magazine B. a book review C. a science fiction D. a travel report 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文改编自《海底两万里》。主人公和他的朋友们在尼摩船长的邀请下，穿上特制的潜水服，前往克雷斯波岛的海底森林进行狩猎的经历。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面).”可知，Nautilus是一种能在水下航行的船只，因此可以推断出Nautilus是一种海下的船。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape.”及“Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men.”可知，Ned没有去。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island.”、“he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服), he decided not to come at all.”、“Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area.”、“This was the forest... Some of them had flowers.”和“We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest.”可知，正确的顺序是⑤④②①③，故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island.”和“But these forests are under the sea.”可推断出，Nemo船长很享受这次旅行。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。文章描述了一次在海底的冒险经历，包括乘坐潜水艇、穿戴潜水服、探索海底森林等情节，这些内容都是科幻小说中常见的元素。因此，可以推断这篇文章很可能取自一部科幻小说，选项C“一部科幻小说”符合题意。故选C。 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，两项为多余选项。 In Sweden, Finland and Norway, people are generally very healthy.

During the winter season ____42____ People with this condition wear a special hat, the hat has a light in it which is very similar to sunlight. By wearing this hat, people can feel happy all winter. Perhaps the opposite of this is wearing sunglasses. Many people feel more relaxed if they wear sunglasses. ____43____ Or it might be because they think they look cool in sunglasses. Plus, people who wear sunglasses can look at other people without anyone knowing! ____44____ Whale songs are very popular because of the soft voices and calm rhythms and so are the sounds of waterfalls and bird songs. Sound also affects people’s mood and health. Medical studies have shown that certain kinds of music, such as gentle classical music, can lower people’s blood pressure and heart rate. This is important for people who have heart problems. Of course ____45____ Isn’t it amazing that so many things can change our mood and health? A. Many people buy CDs with sound from nature to help them relax. B. Lacking of sunlight is not really a problem, because most people don’t have eye problems. C. exciting music such as rock or dance music can increase your heart rate. D. the solution to this problem is a simple one. E. However, people in these countries sometimes face an unusual health problem. F. exciting music can also help people with heart problems. G. This could be because their eyes are protected from the sunlight. 【答案】41. E 42. D 43. G 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过列举不同现象及相关研究，说明外界因素对人健康和情绪的作用。 【41题详解】 根据“Their diet is good and they have a healthy lifestyle.”可知这些国家的人通常很健康，生活方式也健康，后面突然说“It is called SAD, which stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder.”有一种叫SAD的病症，前后形成转折。选项E“然而，这些国家的人有时会面临一个不寻常的健康问题”符合语境，故选E 。 【42题详解】 根据“In these northern countries, the summer days have 23 hours of sunlight and in the winter, the nights are 23 hours long. During the winter season...”可知冬季缺乏阳光，后文“People with this condition wear a special hat, the hat has a light in it which is very similar to sunlight. By wearing this hat, people can feel happy all winter.”说有这种情况的人戴一种特殊帽子就能开心，说明这里是在说解决办法。 选项D“这个问题的解决办法很简单”符合语境，故选D。 【43题详解】 根据“Many people feel more relaxed if they wear sunglasses.”可知很多人戴太阳镜感觉更放松，后面说“Or it might be because they think they look cool in sunglasses.”或者可能是因为他们觉得戴太阳镜看起来很酷，这里是在分析戴太阳镜感觉放松的原因。 选项G“这可能是因为他们的眼睛被保护以免受阳光”符合语境，故选G。 【44题详解】 根据“Whale songs are very popular because of the soft voices and calm rhythms and so are the sounds of waterfalls and bird songs.”这里提到鲸鱼的歌声、瀑布声和鸟鸣声受欢迎，说明很多人喜欢自然的声音来放松。 选项A“许多人购买带有自然声音的CD来帮助他们放松”符合语境，故选A。 【45题详解】 根据前文“Medical studies have shown that certain kinds of music, such as gentle classical music, can lower people’s blood pressure and heart rate. This is important for people who have heart problems.”可知轻柔的古典音乐对有心脏病的人重要，这里说当然，相反的情况也可能是真的，即激动人心的音乐有不同效果。 选项C“像摇滚或舞曲这样激动人心的音乐可以提高你的心率”符合语境，故选C。 第二卷（非选择题共40分） 五、根据句意及所给中文、首字母与英文解释, 写出句中所缺单词, 每空限填一词。（共8题, 每题1分, 满分8分） 46. On Nov. 11 many people buy a lot online, but few are able to make full use of them, resulting in a big ________ (浪费). 【答案】waste 【解析】 【详解】句意：11月11日，许多人在网上买了很多东西，但很少有人能够充分利用它们，导致了巨大的浪费。根据中文提示可知，“浪费”对应的英文是waste，它作可数名词时，意为“浪费的行为、造成浪费的事物”，“a big”后面需要接一个可数名词单数，故填waste。 47. The policemen spent nights finding out the ________ (真相) of the murder case. 【答案】truth 【解析】 【详解】句意：警察花了几个晚上找到谋杀案的真相。truth“真相”，名词作宾语。故填truth。 48 Birds are the natural ________ (敌人) of many insects. 【答案】enemies 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：鸟类是许多昆虫的天敌。敌人：enemy，可数名词；主语是复数，可知此处名词应用复数形式enemies。故填enemies。 49. I think these cameras are those ____ (导演). Please look after them. 【答案】directors’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为这些摄像机是那些导演的。请保管好它们。此处作表语，表示归属于某人，可知用名词所有格。director意为“导演”，此处应该用复数，故答案为directors’。 50. To make sure of food ________ (安全), the Chinese government has decided to make strict laws right now. 【答案】safety 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了确保食品安全，中国政府决定立即制定严格的法律。根据句子和单词提示可知，空处应填意为“安全”的名词，safety“安全”，不可数名词，food safety“食品安全”。故填safety。 51. We had no c________ but to prove that we were at another place at that time. 【答案】(c)hoice 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们别无选择，只能证明我们当时在另一个地方。根据“We had no…but to prove”以及首字母提示，此是指别无选择。have no choice but to do sth的用法，意为“除了做某事别无选择”。故填(c)hoice。 52. —It’s raining so h ________ now. You’d better stay at home. —But I must go to work today. 【答案】(h)eavily 【解析】 【详解】句意：——现在雨下得非常大。你最好待在家里。——但我今天必须去上班。根据“It’s raining so... now”可知，这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“raining”（下雨）。结合首字母提示以及常识，rain heavily是固定表达，意为“雨下得大”。故填(h)eavily。 53. This red dress is the ________ (up-to-date) fashion. 【答案】latest 【解析】 【详解】句意：这件红色的连衣裙是最新的时尚。所给短语“up-to-date”的意思是“最新的”，可用latest代替。故填latest。 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。 Alison Lapper a very unusual painter, paints pictures for a living.

But there are the funny little love hearts they drew just near their beds. The attic (阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn’t wear. The high shelves still have lots of novels for children, there is a wall. On that wall are hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates. They recorded the way the children grew. Of all the objects, all the memories, it’s this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to leave. Over dinner, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, my children decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to remove the last traces (痕迹) of their babyhood, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they hired Jack, a professional photographer, names and dates and then changed them into one photo. At last the gift made its way to me, one meaningful photo.

A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient（方便的）. We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you. Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up. Find out how bad habits have spoiled（糟蹋）things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule（时间表）of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up. An alarm（闹钟）is something that will prevent you from performing your bad habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off. Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you've made to yourself. Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy. There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a bad habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction（瘾）. Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it. 32. From Paragraph 1 we can learn that________ . A. people find it difficult to break a bad habit B. we must change all the habits we have C. a habit is a terrible thing we can never change D. we can easily change a bad habit 33. According to the passage, if you want to give up your bad habit, you have to ________. A. talk to your family or friends B. find out the reason behind it C. finish your homework first D. spend less time on the Internet 34. Which of the following is NOT a proper way to break a bad habit? A. Know the bad effects that bad habits have brought you. B. Face the fact you have a bad habit and it's bad for you. C. Reward yourself when succeeding in stopping yourself from performing the bad habit. D. Wait until someone reminds you of the promise you've made to yourself. 35. After reading the passage, you'll know ________ . A. how to find out your habits B. how to change your habits C. how to break a bad habit D. how to develop a good habit It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, but he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift that really blew me away. For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our house where my children grew up. But there are the funny little love hearts they drew just near their beds. The attic (阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn’t wear. The high shelves still have lots of novels for children, there is a wall. On that wall are hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates. They recorded the way the children grew. Of all the objects, all the memories, it’s this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to leave. Over dinner, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, my children decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to remove the last traces (痕迹) of their babyhood, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they hired Jack, a professional photographer, names and dates and then changed them into one photo. At last the gift made its way to me, one meaningful photo. Representing love and growth, it’s a gift that I will cherish (珍惜) forever. 64. When did the mother get the surprising gift? _____________________________________________ 65. What is the attic filled with? _____________________________________________ 66. Why are the marks on the wall so important to the mother? _____________________________________________ 67.
