As the hurricane Nicholas is on the way to land tonight, rainfall, strong winds, and huge waves are hitting the areas from the Upper Texas coast to southern Louisiana, with life­threatening urban flooding possible, but the most rainfall is seen in southwest Louisiana today.Heavy rain in Lower Mississippi is expected to finish on this Wednesday, which means rain will continue to fall for two days. There are very few signs of autumn across most of southern US, as temperatures remain above seasonal averages.The hottest condition compared to normal is forecast to occur in Atlanta city.People there are suggested not to take high­risk sports activities like running outdoors，severe ball games, but swimming is acceptable with protection from the sun. Due to the stability of the air conditions and low temperature in the Great Lakes region, fog will continue for several days in New York city and its neighboring areas.For your health concern, it's best to have outdoor activities when the fog completely disappears after 11 a．m.Avoid any sports at dawn when the fog is at its thickest and dusk when the fog starts to fall. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a novel that can be considered autobiography as it is based on the experiences of Mark Twain.Tom Sawyer stands out for his intelligent, wild and humorous nature.He is a person who can overcome any problem，and nothing is impossible for him.He looks at the difficulties as a challenge and tries to solve them.He is powered by great optimism despite everything bad that has happened to him.

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway The Old Man and the Sea is a novel which was published in 1952 for the first time in the magazine Life.The theme is the relationship between man and nature.Even though at the beginning Santiago is represented like a man who is defeated in life and has no strength，with time going by，we find out that he is the real hero characterized by strength and faith. Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne­Marie Leprince de Beaumont Beauty and the Beast is a heartfelt story about the birth of love and the capability of love to transform the way you look at people you love.The moral of this fairy tale is that person's beauty comes from a heart in love and when the beauty realises the inner beauty of the beast and the feelings it has，the outer appearance means nothing to her anymore.

It was supposed to be right along this river.We drove on，the unknown river always on the left as our guide.We kept passing farms and fields and then a few lights were coming out.In my head，I was doing a lot of self­criticism: Why didn't we start earlier，bring the map and so on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed.My daughter，at least，was happy in the back seat，texting a friend.I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think. Just then—Wow! Amazing! A new scene appeared.Where did it come from? Right there，out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape.Fields stretched in silent purple，with rows of tall trees，darkening in the dusk.I turned the car engine off.All was silent in the hot summer air.Beside us，a plum­colored river hardly moved between lines of trees，its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along，I could have stopped and taken a look.I had missed it all. We miss a lot，almost everything，in fact，in our world.Our task­focused filters (过滤器) take care of that，selecting only what we need.We need to get to work.Have some lunch.We see what we need to see，often for the purpose of survival.Gregory Bateson，speaking of beauty，said the judgment is selection of a fact.In our daily lives，who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change？Can we see further? [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在度假时忘记带地图而迷路，然后发现眼前的夏日黄昏的美景，最后作者感叹：我们的人生太过匆忙，做任何事情都是为了生存，所以我们错过了很多生活中的美。 24．Which of the following might be the destination of the author's driving? A．Her own home. B．A vacation spot. C．A tourist centre. D．Her cousin's farm. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的描述，尤其是最后一句“Where was that sweet little village？”可知，作者擅长使用地图，但是度假的最后一天由于忘记带地图，作者驾车沿着一条公路行驶，直到太阳下山，也没有找到那个可爱的小村庄，再结合第二段首句“It was supposed to be right along this river.”可推断，作者的目的地是自己的家。故A项正确。 24 25 26 27 25．What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning? A．The vacation was below expectations. B．She wasn't as good at using maps as before. C．Her cousin and daughter couldn't get along. D．Lack of full preparations got her to lose her way. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Why didn't we...and so on？”可知，作者自责是因为没有做足准备而导致迷了路。故D项正确。 24 25 26 27 26．Why did the author feel really amazed? A．Her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure. B．She discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public. C．She unintentionally reached her destination. D．The route she was taking proved to be right. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据前两段内容可知，由于作者未充分准备而迷了路，再结合第三、四、五段的描述可知，作者突然看到了美丽的黄昏，由此可推知，作者的粗心令她欣赏到意想不到的黄昏美景，这让作者十分惊讶。故A项正确。 24 25 26 27 27．What does the story intend to tell us? A．Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble. B．Make a change for the purpose of survival. C．Slow down your pace to enjoy the beauty in life. D．Be positive because there's always an alternative. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段的内容可推知，作者想通过这个故事告诉我们：要放慢脚步，去享受生活中的美。故C项正确。 C Most of what I really need to know about is how to live，and what to do，and how to be，I learned in kindergarten.Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain，but there in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned：Share everything.Play fair.Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.Wash your hands before you eat.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.Live a balanced life.Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon.When you go out into the world，watch for traffic，hold hands，and stick together.Be aware of wonder.Remember the little seed in the plastic cup.The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why，but we are all like that.Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die.So do we. And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned，the biggest word of all: LOOK.Everything you need to know is in there somewhere：The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation，ecology and politics and sane living. Think of what a better world it would be if we all—the whole world—had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes.And it is still true，no matter how old you are，when you go out into the world，it is best to hold hands and stick together. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了我们在幼儿园学到的东西对我们的一生都有影响，我们要做的是学会珍惜，让生命的每一天都有意义。 28 29 30 31 28．What didn't the author learn to do while in kindergarten? A.Cook cookies and dishes. B．Keep the things he used in place. C．Look out for traffic.

A．He must be a success thanks to the good habits. B．He has learned to share everything with others. C．He expects harmony and unity. D．He is at an old age now. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Think of what a better world it would be if we all...clean up our own messes.”可推知，作者期待世界的和谐与团结。故选C项。 28 29 30 31 30．What's the author's purpose in writing this text? A．To inform the readers of what he learned in kindergarten. B．To call on people to hold hands and stick together. C．To show the importance of enlightening (启蒙) education. D．To tell people how to live a successful life. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 解析：写作意图题。通读全文尤其是文章第一段末句和最后一段末句可知，作者认为智慧从幼儿园开始形成，而此时获取的知识和准则值得被奉行一生，因此推断本文的写作目的是强调启蒙教育的重要性。故选C项。 28 29 30 31 31．In which column of a magazine can you probably find the text? A．Popular Science. B．Entertainment. C．Fashion. D．Life Guide. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 解析：文章出处题。根据文章第一段中的“Most of what I really need to know about is how to live，and what to do，and how to be，I learned in kindergarten.”可知，本文的中心是讲述人生，应该出现在“人生指南”栏目。故选D项。 28 29 30 31 D In today's motivational literature，failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated.Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Try again.Fail again.Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success and a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory. However，psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.In other words，we fail to “fail forward”．We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed，and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the “sour­grape effect”，which was discovered by Hallgeir Sjastad. Sjastad explains that the sour­grape effect is a self­protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as capable people，so when external feedback (外界的反馈) suggests otherwise，it poses a serious threat to that self­image，” he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal，so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.” If you have one bad interview for your dream job，you might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all，and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at sports trials，or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript.“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’，” Sjastad says. It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy.But the sour­grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely，rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened，you may find it easier to achieve your goals. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。作者呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”。 32．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers? A．To show the popularity of speeches on failure. B．To describe a common understanding of failure. C．To introduce a reasonable attitude towards failure. D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“Inspirational speakers...end in victory.”可知，鼓舞人心的演说家喜欢引用“再次尝试；再次失败；更好地失败”，似乎失望是成功必不可少的垫脚石。这是对失败的一种常见的理解。 32 33 34 35 33．What can we learn from paragraph 3 about the sour­grape effect? A．It protects us from false feedback. B．It pictures us as competitive people. C．It poses a severe threat to self­image. D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“Most of us picture...the external signal”可知，我们大多数人把自己想象成有能力的人，所以当外界的反馈表明情况并非如此时，这种自我形象就会受到严重威胁。此时最简单的方法是否认或为外界信号辩解，这样我们就可以减少不一致并保持积极的自我意识。因此，酸葡萄效应会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈。 32 33 34 35 34．What does the underlined word “prematurely” mean? A．Unhappily. B．Mistakenly. C．Hurriedly. D．Carelessly. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段的“It doesn't mean...making us happy.”可知，如果过程使我们不开心，换目标是正常合理的。根据画线词后的“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve”可知，前后形成对比，故画线词prematurely与 hanging on a little 意思相反。因此，此处表示酸葡萄效应可能导致我们过早地作出这个决定，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高。C项“匆忙完成地”与画线词意思相近。 32 33 34 35 35．Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A．Don't escape when failure comes to you. B．Don't quit when goals no longer make you happy. C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”． D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望而不是贬低它的重要性并假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。因此，作者建议人们正确面对失败，警惕酸葡萄效应。因此，作者最有可能同意A项“当你失败时，不要逃避”这一观点。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life，a choice you made that can't be changed，something you said that you can't take back. 36 Regret can increase our stress，negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems. 37 One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path.That is，we can regret the things we did or we can regret the things we did not do.Research suggests that action­related regret，although painful，encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on. 38 This kind of regret is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety. As with other negative emotions，it doesn't work to avoid，deny or try to destroy regret. 39 Rather than stay stuck，people can manage these emotions in four steps: First，accept the fact that you are feeling them；determine why you are feeling them；allow yourself to learn from them: and，finally，release them and move forward. You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self­compassion (自我同情).This means reminding yourself that you are human，you are doing the best you can and you can learn from past decisions and grow. 40 Noticing，acknowledging and then forgiving your thoughts are a powerful step towards overcoming regret. A．Dealing with regret is even more difficult. B．Regret is not only unpleasant，but also unhealthy. C．There are basically two ways to experience regret. D．But regret related to the inaction path is harder to fix. E．Seeing the situation in a different way may help reduce regret. F．In the long run，these strategies only increase negative feelings. G．Showing this compassion to yourself can help you accept and move past the regret. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述后悔会给人们带来心理上和身体上的消极影响，进而提出了化解或消除后悔的策略。 36．答案：B 解析：上文说明了后悔的定义。下文“Regret can increase our stress，negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.”说明后悔带给身心的负面影响。所以空处应总结说明后悔不但是不愉快的，同时也是不健康的。选项B符合语境，故选B。 37．答案：C 解析：根据下文“One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path.”可知，空处应该总说有两种不同的方式。选项C“后悔基本上有两种方式。”符合语境，故选C。 38．答案：D 解析：上文讲述了研究者分析了后悔的方式之一：与行动相关的后悔。由上文可知，后悔有两种方式，一种是行动路径，另一种是不行动路径，所以空处应该是对比第一种方式，讲述不行动路径的后悔。选项D“但与不行动相关的遗憾更难弥补。”切题，故选D。 39．答案：E 解析：根据上文“As with other negative emotions，it doesn't work to avoid，deny or try to destroy regret.”可知，空处应承接上文，讲述我们应该换另一种方式来看待问题。选项E“换个角度看问题可能有助于减少遗憾。”承接上文，切题，故选E。 40．答案：G 解析：上文说明自我同情可以帮助释放后悔的感觉。所以空处应总结论述这样的自我同情是可以带给自己好处的。选项G“对自己表现出这种同情心可以帮助你接受并消除遗憾。”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I had a bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book.I just wanted to see how it ended while I was still in the middle of it.This habit 41 my mom，my friends，and even my own daughter.Often my 42 wouldn't be limited just to the books I read but also to what others were 43 as well.Then one day my daughter told me in anger，“Dad，please just read a book one 44 at a time like everyone else！” What's more，at times I also tried to skip ahead in my own life and 45 what to do months or even years from now 46 enjoying each day at present.Although I knew that the 47 of my life wasn't done yet and that I had many pages 48 to go，I still couldn't control my burning desire to write the 49 of it halfway through.Time and again，I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every 50 problem before it happened.Life，however，doesn't work like that.It loves to 51 us，and you never know what new problems，changes，or opportunities each new day will 52 ．Sometimes I heard a voice that gently told me I needed to “live one day at a time”．When I heard those words，I 53 ，turned the book of my life back to the 54 page.

56．答案：saving 解析：考查非谓语动词。be worth doing sth.为固定结构，意为“值得做某事”，动名词用其主动形式表示被动含义。故填 saving。 57．答案：was thrown 解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处为 that 引导的定语从句的谓语动词，that指代先行词 the dirt，在从句中作主语，throw与that为被动关系，应用被动语态；根据主句时态可知，此处也应用一般过去时；且先行词为不可数名词，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填 was thrown。 58．答案：constantly 解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处作状语，应用副词。constantly 意为“始终，一直”。 59．答案：shook 解析：考查动词的时态。根据文中描述故事所用的时态可知，这里应和上文时态一致，用一般过去时。 shake 的过去式是 shook。故填 shook。 60．答案：How 解析：考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，表示“如何”，故填 How。 61．答案：thoughts 解析：考查名词的单复数。thought意为“意见，主意，观点”时，常以复数形式出现，且其前有one of 修饰，所以这里应用名词复数形式。 62．答案：a 解析：考查冠词。fact 作“现实”讲是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且fact 的发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。 a fact of life“生活的(不快)现实”。 63．答案：faced 解析：考查状语从句的省略结构。此处考查时间状语从句的省略结构。当从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且从句中包含be动词的某种形式时，可以省略从句的主语和be 动词。此处be faced with...为固定用法，意为“面对……”，故省略主语 we 和 be动词后，此处应填 faced。从句补充完整为“When we are faced with adversity” 。 64．答案：as 解析：考查介词。look on...as...意为“把……看作……”，为固定搭配。故填as。 65．答案：persistent 解析：考查词性转换。空处和空前的determined 并列作表语，应用形容词persistent，表示“执着的，不屈不挠的，坚持不懈的”。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 4月23日是世界读书日，你校将以“阅读经典，体味生活”为主题举行英语征文比赛。请你写一篇短文投稿。内容包括： 1．你读过的一本好书； 2．阅读对你生活的影响。 注意： 1．词数80个左右； 2．标题和首句已给出，不计入总词数。 Reading Classics，Experiencing Life Every April 23rd is the World Book Day. _____________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Reading Classics，Experiencing Life Every April 23rd is the World Book Day.It started in 1995.In order to encourage more people to read more books，all kinds of activities are held on April 23rd.I spend most of my free time reading famous books which affect me greatly.Of all the books，I like The Long March best.From the book I can know about our history better.

It was a busy night.In the restaurant after a few guests walked in and sat down，they ordered a bottle of the Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac 2001—a valuable wine worth almost $2，000. Having to serve another table，Baskin then asked a workmate to fetch the wine.However，since the employee was new，she accidentally took the wrong bottle of wine.Instead of the wine that was ordered by the customers，she served the Chateau Pichon Baron Pauillac 2001，which cost about $1，000.As the bottles and names were similar，no one noticed the mistake. Baskin didn't realize the mistake until the customers wanted to order a second bottle after finishing the first one.He checked the order quickly and understood what was wrong.He cleverly suggested they order a different one，without letting them know what had happened，which could give him time to think about how to solve the problem. Everything seemed normal，but Baskin was lost in thought.“What should I do to solve this problem？” he asked himself.If he didn't tell the customers the mistake，he could keep the extra $1，000 secretly.As he was also the cashier of the restaurant，no one would know what happened.$1，000 was the tuition fee for the whole school year and his parents needn't work hard to earn money for him，or he could use the money to buy his favorite laptop which his parents couldn't afford.This extra money was really a huge temptation to him.But in this way，he would lose his honesty and dignity. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 While he was struggling with his options，his father came over. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ When the customers came to pay the bill，Baskin decided to do the right thing. _________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] While he was struggling with his options，his father came over.Seeing his worried expression，his father asked him what was happening.Baskin couldn't help telling him the truth.His father listened attentively and gave his advice.He told Baskin he should tell the truth and admit his mistake.Baskin thought the customers probably wouldn't notice the mistake as they were not paying too much attention.His father said that he should always be honest and that only in this way could he always be trusted.Baskin nodded seriously. When the customers came to pay the bill，Baskin decided to do the right thing.He explained the situation to the customers and apologized sincerely for the error.The customers were surprised at this and said they hadn't noticed the mistake at all.Instead，they said that the wine they were served tasted very good and gave him a large tip.To Baskin's relief，his father also forgave him for his mistake，saying that no harm had been done and that the customers were satisfied with the service.Thinking back，Baskin was grateful to his father for such good advice and also learned an important life lesson. $$
