But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in be d for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy (治疗，疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 41. What once depressed the author terribly according to Paragraph 1? A. Her inability to walk. B. Her negative thoughts. C. Her failure to find her car. D. Her serious physical disease. 42. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind? A. She got emotionally smarter. B. She felt limited but hopeful. C. She became mentally stronger. D. She accepted herself as she was. 43. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class? A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class. B. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. C. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga. D. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. 44. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook. B. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes. C. She has developed many healthy eating habits. D. She did better than her classmates at school. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses. B. To present the benefits of practising yoga regularly. C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga. D. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. D 44. A 45.

(当治疗对我不起作用时，我报名参加了一个为女孩开设的热瑜伽课程，确切地说，是Bikram Yoga。)”以及最后一段中的“Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! (总的来说，这种瑜伽练习帮助我看到我是生活中更大图景的一部分！)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者上瑜伽课并从中获益的经历，作者写作本文的目的是与读者分享自己参加瑜伽课程的经历。故选D项。 C About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实） my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 46. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________. A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development D. something hardly to be expected in a young child 47. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________. A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导） C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television 48. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________. A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living 49. What does the author think of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing. C. It helps children to read and write well. D. It can control what children are to learn. 50. What does the author think of the change in today’s children? A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny B. He thinks the change worth our attention C. He considers it a rapid development D. He is extremely upset about it 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者无意中听到一对母子的谈话证实了他的一个想法，那就是现在的孩子正在变得越来越成人化。作者认为电视节目无差别地给成人和孩子播放相同的节目，是导致孩子过早成人化的主要原因。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.可知在作者记忆中他们是直到高中才体会到失落，故推测他认为那么小的孩子会感到失落是难以想象的。D. something hardly to be expected in a young child（在如此小的孩子身上很难想象的事情）符合以上说法，故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.可知，老师在教给孩子成人知识的时候是有阶段的，循序渐进的。一般情况下教给六年级孩子的东西，不会教给五年级。B. gradually and under guidance(引导）（在引导下循序渐进）符合以上说法，故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段的In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults.可知过去30年电视在美国家庭普及，它们无差别地给成人和孩子播放相同的节目，故推测电视是导致孩子过早成人化的主要原因。A. the widespread influence of television（电视的普及的影响）符合以上说法，故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access.可知通过印刷媒体来交流可以在很大程度上控制孩子所接触的社会信息。D. It can control what children are to learn.（能够控制孩子所学的东西）符合以上说法，故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why? 可知近年孩子越来越成人化的证据越来越多，这个变化是好是坏很难说，但是孩子和从前不一样了这是十分确定的，这是为什么呢？根据这段话尤其是最后的“why”可以推测作者认为这种现象值得人们思考。B. He thinks the change worth our attention（他认为这个改变值得思考）符合以上说法，故选B项。 第II卷 非选择题 第三部分：写作(共二节，满分25分。) 第一节：阅读表达(共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 An 89-year-old man has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward. He earned his doctor degree and became a physicist. Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted — and because he overcame health problems that could have interfered with his studies. As a young person in Vienna, Austria, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein and Max Planck. But after World War Ⅱ, his mother advised him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree from the University of Vienna in 1955 and moved to the United States soon after. In the U.S., he had a successful career studying blood, became a full professor and led the hematology (血液学) department at Brown’s medical school from 1985 to 1994. He helped establish a research program in hematology and directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000. Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was something like a wish that was never fulilled, that always stuck in the back of my head,” he said. “Once I’m finished with medicine, I really don’t want to spend my life just sitting around and maybe doing a little golfing or doing something like that. I wanted to keep active. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes at Brown University. He was planning to just take a few classes that interested him. But by 2007, he had earned enough credits to join the doctoral program. Physics professor Brad Marston soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He already had a scientific way of thinking that younger students have to develop,” Marston said. “One thing that’s really true about Manfred is he perseveres.” After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across the U.S. contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life. He said his advice is: Do what you love to do. 51. Why does Steiner attach great importance to this degree? (no more than 10 words) 52. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 7 words) 53. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean? (no more than 7 words) 54. What is Marston’s comment on Steiner after he joined the doctoral program? (no more than 10 words) 55. What do you think of Steiner? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. Because he longed for it and overcame serious health problems./He worked hard toward it and overcame serious health problems. /Because he earned what he wanted and overcame health problems. 52. It is about Steiner’s achievements in medicine./His achievements in medicine./What he achieved in medicine. 53. Steiner always regrets not learning physics./Not learning physics made me regretful. /Steiner felt sorry for not learning physics. /Not learning physics made Steiner feel sorry. /It means he will never forget it / his wish / his dream. /Learning physics was always Steiner’s wish/dream. /The wish wasn’t forgotten. /Steiner never forgot his wish. /Steiner kept his wish in his mind. /His dream/wish was always kept in his mind. /Learning physics was always his wish/dream. 54. He took the subject seriously and worked hard at it./He was serious about the subject and persevered. 55. (Open) I think he is admirable. Because he has a dream and has worked hard for it all his life. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Steiner有个想做物理学家的梦想，后来听从母亲的建议从事了医学，但退休后，这位老人经过努力拼搏，最终实现了他的梦想，成为了一名物理学家的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted — and because he overcame health problems that could have interfered with his studies.( Steiner重视这个学位，因为这是他一直想要的——而且因为他克服了可能会干扰他的学习的健康问题。)”可知，因为他渴望得到它，并克服了严重的健康问题。故答案为Because he longed for it and overcame serious health problems./He worked hard toward it and overcame serious health problems. /Because he earned what he wanted and overcame health problems. 【52题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第四段中“In the U.S., he had a successful career studying blood, became a full professor and led the hematology (血液学) department at Brown’s medical school from 1985 to 1994. He helped establish a research program in hematology and directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000. (在美国，他的血液研究事业非常成功，1985年至1994年，他成为布朗医学院的正教授，并领导了血液科。他帮助建立了一个血液学研究项目，并指导该项目，直到他2000年从医学退休。)”可知，本段主要是关于Steiner在医学方面取得的成就的。故答案为It is about Steiner’s achievements in medicine./His achievements in medicine./What he achieved in medicine. 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段“As a young person in Vienna, Austria, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein and Max Planck.(在奥地利维也纳，年轻的Steiner在阅读了关于Albert Einstein和Max Planck的书后，想成为一名物理学家。)”和第四段中“But after World War Ⅱ, his mother advised him that studying medicine would be a better choice. (但是在第二次世界大战Ⅱ之后，他的母亲建议他学医是一个更好的选择。)”以及划线词句前文“It was something like a wish that was never fulfilled, (这就像是一个从未实现的愿望，)”可知，Steiner梦想是做个物理学家，后来，听从母亲的建议从事了医学，但是他的梦想并没有磨灭。从而推知划线部分“that always stuck in the back of my head”意为“Steiner为没有学习物理而感到遗憾，他永远不会忘记自己想成为一名物理学家的梦想”。故答案为Steiner always regrets not learning physics./Not learning physics made me regretful. /Steiner felt sorry for not learning physics. /Not learning physics made Steiner feel sorry. /It means he will never forget it / his wish / his dream. /Learning physics was always Steiner’s wish/dream. /The wish wasn’t forgotten. /Steiner never forgot his wish. /Steiner kept his wish in his mind. /His dream/wish was always kept in his mind. /Learning physics was always his wish/dream. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Physics professor Brad Marston soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. (物理学教授Brad Marston很快意识到Steiner对这门学科是多么严谨，他工作是多么努力。)”以及Marston 所说“One thing that’s really true about Manfred is he perseveres. (Manfred有一点是真的，那就是他坚持不懈。)”可知，Marston认为他态度严谨，工作努力并坚持不懈。故答案为He took the subject seriously and worked hard at it./He was serious about the subject and persevered. 【55题详解】 考查阅读表达。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“An 89-year-old man has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward. He earned his doctor degree and became a physicist.(一位89岁的老人终于实现了他为之奋斗了20年的目标。他获得了博士学位，成为了一名物理学家。)”可知，本文主要讲述了Steiner有个想做物理学家的梦想，后来听从母亲的建议从事了医学，但退休后，这位老人最终实现了他的梦想，成为了一名物理学家的故事。故答案可以为I think he is admirable. Because he has a dream and has worked hard for it all his life. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 56. 假设你是晨光中学学生李津。作为学校“科普月”系列活动之一，英语社团开展“科学家与我”英文演讲比赛，请根据以下提示撰写一篇演讲稿： （1）激励我的中国科学家：姓名、成就； （2）激励我的科学家精神，举例说明； （3）号召大家共同弘扬科学家精神。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：弘扬科学家精神 promote the spirit of scientists ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Good morning, dear friends!

A. this passage probably comes from a car magazine B. you can visit places of interest with expert tour guides C. you can ride a tricycle to any tourist attraction in Beijing D. Better China Trip only provides car rental services in Beijing B As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in be d for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy (治疗，疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 41. What once depressed the author terribly according to Paragraph 1? A. Her inability to walk. B. Her negative thoughts. C. Her failure to find her car. D. Her serious physical disease. 42. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind? A. She got emotionally smarter. B. She felt limited but hopeful. C. She became mentally stronger. D. She accepted herself as she was. 43. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class? A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class. B. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. C. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga. D. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. 44. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook. B. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes. C. She has developed many healthy eating habits. D. She did better than her classmates at school. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses. B. To present the benefits of practising yoga regularly. C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga. D. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. C About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实） my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 46. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________. A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development D. something hardly to be expected in a young child 47. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________. A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导） C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television 48. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________. A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living 49. What does the author think of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing. C.

He earned his doctor degree and became a physicist. Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted — and because he overcame health problems that could have interfered with his studies. As a young person in Vienna, Austria, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein and Max Planck. But after World War Ⅱ, his mother advised him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree from the University of Vienna in 1955 and moved to the United States soon after. In the U.S., he had a successful career studying blood, became a full professor and led the hematology (血液学) department at Brown’s medical school from 1985 to 1994. He helped establish a research program in hematology and directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000. Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was something like a wish that was never fulilled, that always stuck in the back of my head,” he said. “Once I’m finished with medicine, I really don’t want to spend my life just sitting around and maybe doing a little golfing or doing something like that. I wanted to keep active. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes at Brown University. He was planning to just take a few classes that interested him. But by 2007, he had earned enough credits to join the doctoral program. Physics professor Brad Marston soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He already had a scientific way of thinking that younger students have to develop,” Marston said. “One thing that’s really true about Manfred is he perseveres.” After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across the U.S. contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life. He said his advice is: Do what you love to do. 51. Why does Steiner attach great importance to this degree? (no more than 10 words) 52. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 7 words) 53.
