W:Hey,Jim,how was your weekend?
M:Not so hot.I was supposed to go to a concert but it was cancelled because of rain.
Text 2
W:It's just past 7:00 p.m.
M:Hm,well,the road's very quiet,so we should be home in about two hours,but let's take a half-hour coffee break.
W:Okay.I remember there is a nice cafe called Moonlight.
Text 3
M:That movie was excellent.It was so touching.
W:I certainly can't disagree with you.
Text 4
M:Hello,Jessie.Could you give me a second? I need to switch phones.
W:Sorry to get you out of your sick bed.How do you feel?
M:Actually,I've had this bad cold for 5 days.Today I'm going to try and take a walk outside.
W:I hope you recover soon.
Text 5
M:Dieting never works for me.
W:It would work if you listened to me.You should give up sugar in your tea and coffee.
Text 6
W:Did you have a good night's sleep last night?
M:Yeah,I think I slept well.Yet I'm still tired.
W:That's because of the time difference.It's night in China right now.Right?
M:I guess so.Well,do you think I should go to the university to get registered today?
W:It's up to you.The registration office will probably be crowded today.
M:What do I have to take with me?
W:Your passport,your letter of admission to the institution,your financial support certificate,your ID card that has been signed at US customs,and...
M:Maybe I should go to my academic advisor first.
W:Right.You must have your advisor's signature on the course register forms and he will tell you what you need to do.
Text 7
W:Were you surprised by the ending?
M:No,I thought it was predictable.
W:I'd have preferred a happier ending,but I guess a lie doesn't always have a happy ending.
M:It wasn't really a bad ending.I'd call it bittersweet.
W:So if you were a critic,how would you review the play?
M:I'd say it was one of the best plays that I've seen this year.
W:I agree.The production had excellent sets,costumes,and music.
M:And the directing was very good.The play held my interest from beginning to end.
W:They accomplished a lot on a limited budget.
M:Yes.And,it's great to see a good play in a small regional theater.Maybe this play will go to Broadway.
W:I hope so.
Text 8
M:Hello! Thank you for calling for Jimmy's.
W:Hey!
M:Is this Miss Jones? Are you still at 425 Burnside Street 15?
W:Yes,this is she.
M:OK,please go ahead with your order.
W:I'd like to order a large Hot and Spicy Pizza and...
M:Oh,I'm sorry we are out of peppers so...
W:Well,then I'll take a large Italian Pizza please.
M:Actually,we have sold out of onions too.
W:So what kind of pizza is available now?
M:To be honest,we are out of cheese too.So if you want to order a pizza,it will not have cheese.Is that OK?
W:Well,what kind of pizza doesn't have cheese?
M:I see your point.Sorry our delivery truck had a flat tire and so our supplies are low.
W:Well,next time say something earlier.
M:Yes,Miss.Please forgive the inconvenience.
W:I'll take a Greek Salad then,I guess.You do have lettuce,right?
M:We do have lettuce but we are out of olives,and Greek dressing.
W:Are you serious? Bye!
Text 9
W:So Dave,can you give me the latest statistics on deaths in traffic accidents?
M:Sure.Official New York City statistics on traffic accidents provide information about risks to cyclists and risks from cyclists.For the full year,there were 298 recorded collisions in New York City between cyclists and people crossing the street.Two of these resulted in bad injuries to the people on foot.Collisions between motorized vehicles and bicycles were much more frequent—3,520 accidents and 17 deaths.In the same year,there were 13,599 collisions between people crossing the street and motor vehicles in New York City.294 people on foot were killed in these accidents,including approximately 15 deaths on sidewalks and other off-road areas.In other words,people on foot were almost 50 times more likely to be struck by a motor vehicle than a bicycle,and more than a hundred times more likely to be killed.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice, “Mom, come here! There's a lady here of my size!” The mother rushed to her son, then she turned to me to apologize.I smiled and told her, “It's okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I'm Angelina.How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.“Why are you so little?” he asked.“It's the way I was born,” I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I'm just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions,I shook the boy's hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet nine inches tall.I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒).Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn't realize how short I was until I started school.Some kids laughed at me and called me names.Then I knew.I began to hate the first day of school each year.New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.I used my personality to make up for what I lacked in height.
I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.I try to keep positive.When people are impolite, I remind myself,“Look what else I have—a great family and nice friends.”
It's the children's questions that make my life special.I enjoy answering their questions.My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers,whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者生下来就有侏儒症,从小个子就比别人矮,因此一直感受着周围人异样的目光,但是作者并没有自暴自弃,而是乐观地面对生活。
24.Why did the mother apologize to the author?
A.Because the boy studied the author from head to toe.
B.Because the boy made the author angry.
C.Because the boy said the author was shorter than him.
D.Because the mother thought the boy's words had hurt the author.
答案:D
24
25
26
27
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Mom,come here!There's a lady here of my size!”可知,这个男孩说作者和他体型大小一样,也就是说作者长得矮,所以男孩的母亲认为他的话会伤害到作者,因此向作者道歉。

25.When did the author realize that she was too short?

25
26
27
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“I'm 47 now,and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.”可知,现在人们仍然用异样的眼光看待作者。再结合上文提到的人们对作者的态度可知,此处是说作者虽然已经47岁了,但别人对作者异样的眼光并没有减少。由此推知,画线单词diminished意为“减少”。A.怀疑;B.减少;C.保持不变;D.提升,改善。
24
25

27.What can we learn about the author according to the text?

A recent experiment conducted at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada has an “Aha!” moment for anyone who wants to form habits that increase everyday happiness and well-being.
Researchers walked around the campus handing out $5 or $20 bills, asking participants to spend the money by the end of the day.The participants weren't told what the purpose of the research was, and was only told that they were part of a study.Half the participants were told to spend the money on themselves, and the other half were tasked with spending it to benefit someone else.At the end of the day, those who had spent the money on others reported a greater sense of happiness and well-being than those who had spent it on themselves.
Aha!Kindness is connected to happiness.This likely won't surprise many readers who live by the golden rule and generally attempt to anchor our happiness in ways we can contribute to the lives of others.But the UBC study is part of a broader idea that can help us deepen our commitment to these values during the busy holiday season and beyond.
Two students at the university have started a Random Acts of Kindness Club to strengthen that kindness is a daily habit.So far, the group has created public displays of inspirational and practical messages encouraging the community to care for their emotional health.“Simple acts of kindness,” members say, “are benefiting themselves as well as making a difference in the broader community.”
Elizabeth Dunn, the professor of psychology who led the research study, added that regularly practicing kindness to others can help us with another kindness habit, one that is often more challenging—kindness to ourselves.She said,“The form of compassion that is perhaps the most beneficial for ourselves is really all about self-kindness...that same sort of gentle compassion that we would extend to a treasured friend or maybe a younger person in our life that we care about.”

When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk.In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person—that is, by looking at their profile photos.
According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality.In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of a US social platform and 3,200 of their posts.At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality types.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits—like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism (神经质)—and a person's profile picture.
According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences.Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions.They try to avoid showing their face.Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building.
Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photo's owner.For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.
“Although social media photos usually represent an extension of one's self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researchers.So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we'd like to convey.After all, first impressions always last.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在社交网络时代,第一印象有时甚至在我们真正见到某人之前就已经形成了,因为通过看人们的头像,就可以揭露他们的性格。

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了美的真谛。
In this complex world, we seem to have lost the true meaning of beauty.“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” John Keats wrote these
56. (grace) words in his poem.So, what is truth? When the word “beauty” 57. (mention), different images and meanings come to mind.There is of course physical beauty.58. (achieve) beauty,
some women are persuaded to buy the 59. (late) “miracle” cream or expensive designer wear.They forget 60. is almost impossible to be perfect.Physical beauty is only “skin-deep” and it is the soul that 61. (make) the true beauty.We should discover who we are and recognize our beauty within.Beauty is not limited 62. the outward appearance of people.Music, drama, literature and painting are all 63. (source) of beauty.The Webster's Dictionary defines beauty as a quality 64. delights the senses or appeals to the mind.Therefore, beauty exists everywhere, and it is something that stirs (激发) an emotional 65. (respond) or a memory within.
56.考查词性转换。空处作 words 的定语,应用形容词形式。
答案:graceful
57.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,此处陈述客观情况,应用一般现在时;主语beauty是第三人称单数,且与 mention之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用is mentioned。
答案:is mentioned
58.考查非谓语动词。空处作目的状语,应用动词不定式。

59.考查形容词最高级。空处修饰名词短语“miracle” cream,应用形容词形式;根据语境并结合空前的 the 可知,此处表示“最新的”,应用形容词的最高级latest。
答案:latest
60.考查代词。forget 后为宾语从句,在该从句中应用it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to be perfect。
答案:it
61.考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句中and后的分句是强调句型,被强调部分为 the soul,是单数;根据语境可知,此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时。
答案:makes
62.考查介词。be limited to 意为“局限于……”,为固定搭配。
答案:to
63.考查名词复数。source 为可数名词,根据空前的all 可知,空处应用名词复数形式。
答案:sources

答案:response

The novel The Old Man and the Sea was written by Hemingway.The hero in this novel is an old fisherman named Santiago.
The novel tells a story about how the hero fights against his enemy.He doesn't catch a fish in 84 days in a row.On the 85th day, he meets a very large fish, which is difficult to cope with.Even faced with the threat from a shark, he finally succeeds in bringing the fish out of the sea.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We usually get up in the morning, take a quick shower, make breakfast and go to study or work.We take them all for granted.But what if you're born without legs and arms?
Nick Vujicic was born, without arms and legs, in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia.Nick faced all kinds of problems and troubles in his life.The first sight you see Nick, you may feel pity and sorrow for him.You may feel his annoyance and upset because he can find everyday situations difficult.
However, Nick doesn't make a problem of it.He has got just a “little drumstick (鸡腿)” for foot just as he says himself, because his dog sometimes mistakes it for a chicken claw.Even better, he has made it into a gift, and he addresses the world how to live and deal with misfortunes, and make it a profit.Nick is a very remarkable person now.He is from Australia, but meanwhile he is not often there any more.Nick travels around the world for his organization Life Without Limbs and he is a speaker in great demand who shares his mission with millions of people worldwide.He shares with his audience the importance of vision and dreaming big.He says that attitude is the most powerful tool in life and failure is just a learning experience.
But it wasn't always that way.Life was not easy for Nick when he was young.Although Nick had loving parents, he would find school life very hard as he would often be teased by the other children.He couldn't manage it and withdrew into himself more and more.At the age of 10, he decided that he shouldn't go on like this and he should have his own dream.He extremely wanted to live and be treated like a normal person, but he felt lost.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Seeing his determined but confused expression, Nick's mother asked him what was wrong.____________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Nick sat down in front of the mirror and looked at himself.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Seeing his determined but confused expression, Nick's mother asked him what was wrong.He told his mother the truth, tears filling his eyes.“I know you are meeting with difficulty.Is it high time you should change the circumstances?” she asked gently.Mother's words touched him deeply.He turned to her and said, “I think I have to change myself.Only in that way can I be happy.I will not let the circumstances lead me.” Hearing these, she smiled, “You should not look at your limitations, but at your strengths.”
Then Nick sat down in front of the mirror and looked at himself.He thought that he had beautiful eyes.He said to himself, “Those eyes are mine, and no one can take them from me.” In that way bit by bit, Nick learned to see the positive side of things.As a result, he got peace in his heart and learned, by trial and error, to deal with the circumstances.Now Nick is a satisfied and happy person.
