Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the wastebasket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者认为这次长途火车旅行索然无味的时候，看到马来西亚的乡下人站在铁道旁面带微笑向火车中的乘客招手时，顿感这次旅途的有趣和奇妙的故事。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.”（我并不是特别喜欢长途火车旅行，我带了一打杂志来反复阅读。）可知，作者买了杂志是因为作者预想这次旅行是无聊的。故选D项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.”（通常整个家庭都站在他们的家门口，挥手微笑，好像火车上的人是他们最喜欢的亲戚。这是马来西亚淳朴的村民。我被感动了。）可知，作者对她的火车旅行印象最深的是友好的乡下人。故选A项。 【43题详解】 词义推断题。根据划线部分的后半句“had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread”（我带了一打杂志来反复阅读）可知，作者预感这次旅行是无聊的，说明作者并不是很享受长途旅行，推断出划线单词“relish”意为“享受”，和B项enjoy意思一致。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.”（火车很快就在巴特沃斯停了下来。）可知，作者准备去巴特沃斯。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.”（一路上都有微笑的孩子。很明显，他们知道火车什么时候经过他们的家，他们把站在铁路边，向完全陌生的人挥手，并在他们冲向槟城时为他们加油作为他们的工作。通常整个家庭都站在他们的家门口，挥手微笑，好像火车上的人是他们最喜欢的亲戚。这是马来西亚淳朴的村民。我被感动了。）可知，我们从故事中了解到的是微笑使人愉快。故选D项。 C The mind is a wonderful thing.It’s also excuse-making machine that frequently tries to convince us not to take action we know are good for us.If we hadn't learned about these excuses, or how to overcome them, we would never have succeeded in making these positive changes. So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason.It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mind tries desperately to get back to "ground zero" at any cost.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't do it", "It is too hard for me", "It’s too late now" and so on, are no strangers to our minds. It seems too difficult at first so you think you can't stick to the positive change you're making.This excuse can be countered (对抗）by looking at the fact that other people were no more capable than you thought you were.For example, my 60-year-old next-door neighbor finished running a marathon, so I told myself, "If she can do it, so can I !" Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out. I've witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and so forth. Another common excuse is that "I've already failed too much." If you break down, it's fine, because you are only human.Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.As Winston Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is courage to continue that counts." Some people feel like quitting when they have almost reached their goal, while others attain goals through their efforts until the last second.So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses.Keep going! No excuses! Think, work, and climb, that's how you'll move your life forward. 46. Why does our mind make excuses? A. It tends to seek comforts rather than suffering. B. It needs rest and relaxation . C. It is preparing for the difficult times. D. It is the way it tries to find a solution. 47. What might "ground zero" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The lowest spot. B. The safest place C. The original place D. The proper position 48. Knowing his neighbor finished the marathon made the author realize________. A. completing a marathon was not too difficult B. people often neglect their abilities C. looking down upon the others is wrong D. people shouldn't let negative thoughts step in their way 49. For someone who fears failure, the author advises him to_______. A. learn from those good examples B. stop for a while and examine himself C. try to adjust himself, and get back on his feet D. look for new directions and keep trying 50. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To tell readers how to make a change. B. To help readers develop a new view of life. C. To encourage readers to leave their comfortable zone. D. To tell readers to stop making excuses and keep fighting. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文，文章主要告诉读者在面临困难的时候不要再找借口，继续战斗。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason. It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.” （那么，为什么大脑会搅乱我们，找不合理的借口呢？因为大脑需要舒适，这就是原因。它害怕不适、压力和改变）可知，我们大脑找借口的原因是它更倾向于寻求舒适而不是痛苦。故选A项。 【47题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone”可知，我们的大脑被它的舒适区所吸引，这说明大脑不愿离开自己的舒适区，因此此处是说当大脑远离自己的舒适区时，它会不惜一切代价拼命地试图回到原点，由此可知此处的“原点”指的就是前面提到的“舒适区”，故选C项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out.” （说实话，唯一对你说“我不行”的人就是你自己。如果你听到这些话在你的脑海中回荡，那就把它们关掉）可知，作者正在得知60岁的邻居完成了马拉松比赛后，感慨人们不应该让消极的想法妨碍自己，不要对自己说“我不行”。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.” 只是不要沮丧，休息一下，然后振作起来，去你想去的地方。可知，作者建议害怕失败的人试着调整一下自己，重新站起来，故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses. Keep going! No excuses!” （所以做一些必要的调整，摆脱找借口的坏习惯。继续前进!不要找借口！）可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了告诉读者不要再找借口，继续战斗，故选D项。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In my early 30s, I struggled to find a dream job. One of my friends reminded me that I’d always loved beauty, and suggested I apply for a licence, which would give me the freedom to set up my own business. However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day. I’d seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals. I thought I’d do the same. Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick. It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host. She had left a note: “I’ve seen that this has been your dream for such a long time. I’m so happy to lend you a hand.” I called my mom immediately. I was crying and not making much sense. I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true. The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me. Lots of other people donated after her. Soon I paid all the fees for the course. I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve now set up my own business, and I always think about Chrissy’s generosity. I did thank her, and I still follow each other on Twitter. Hopefully, I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday. 51. Why couldn’t the author set up her own business? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 52. What was the author’s first reaction to the donation in her bank account? (no more than15 words). ____________________________________________________________________ 53. Who donated the money to the author? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 54. How do you understand the underlined part “a drop in the ocean”? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 55. What kind of person do you think Chrissy Teigen is? And why? (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Because the tuition fees were out of her budget. Because her salary couldn’t cover all the fees. Because she couldn’t afford tuition for a license. 52. She was really surprised and thought it was an illegal trick. 53. Her favorite TV host. / Chrissy Teigen. 54. A very small amount. / Small. / Tiny. 55. She is kind and generous. Because although the author was a stranger, she donated money to help her realize her dream. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者30岁出头的时候，她努力寻找一份理想的工作。她的一个朋友建议作者申请执照，自由创业，但是学费超出了她的预算。最后，她最喜欢的电视主持人克丽丝·泰根慷慨地资助了她，帮她实现了的梦想，她对此充满感激。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day.(然而，唯一的问题是学费是6000美元，这超出了我的预算。我知道，即使我每天加班，我的工资也不足以支付所有的费用)”可知，作者付不起获得执照的学费，这阻碍了她自己创业。故答案为Because the tuition fees were out of her budget./Because her salary couldn’t cover all the fees./Because she couldn’t afford tuition for a license. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick.(然后，在一个周五的晚上，我的银行账户里收到了一大笔钱，这让我很惊讶。这有问题。我以为这是个非法的把戏)”可知，作者对她银行账户里的捐款的第一反应是很惊讶，认为这是一个非法的把戏。故答案为She was really surprised and thought it was an illegal trick. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host.(结果是一笔捐赠。上面的名字我一眼就认出来了：克丽丝·泰根，我最喜欢的电视主持人)”可知，作者最喜欢的电视主持人克丽丝•泰根给她捐款了。故答案为Her favorite TV host. / Chrissy Teigen. 【54题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中的“The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me.(这笔钱对她来说可能只是沧海一粟，但对我来说却改变了我的一生)”并结合上文可知，克丽丝·泰根给作者捐了一笔钱，此处的“沧海一粟”意为“一个非常小的金额”。故答案为A very small amount. / Small. / Tiny. 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据题目“你觉得克丽丝·泰根是什么样的人？为什么？”可回答：她善良大方。虽然作者是一个陌生人，但她捐款帮助作者实现了她的梦想。故答案为She is kind and generous. Because although the author was a stranger, she donated money to help her realize her dream. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 56. 近年来，科技的高速发展给人们的生活带来了巨大的改变。假设你是李华，有意参加你校将举办的TECH TALK活动。请以“Technology and Lifestyles”为题，写一篇演讲稿，内容如下： 1. 科技的重要性； 2. 举例说明科技对人类生活的积极影响； 3. 你对科技应用的态度。 Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Li Hua.

Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the wastebasket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey. 41. The author expected the train trip to be . A. adventurous B. pleasant C. exciting D. boring 42.

Where was the writer going? A. Johore Baru. B. The Causeway. C. Butterworth. D. Singapore. 45. What can we learn from the story? A. Comfort in traveling by train. B. Pleasure of living in the country. C. Reading gives people delight. D. Smiles brighten people up. C The mind is a wonderful thing.It’s also excuse-making machine that frequently tries to convince us not to take action we know are good for us.If we hadn't learned about these excuses, or how to overcome them, we would never have succeeded in making these positive changes. So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason.It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mind tries desperately to get back to "ground zero" at any cost.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't do it", "It is too hard for me", "It’s too late now" and so on, are no strangers to our minds. It seems too difficult at first, so you think you can't stick to the positive change you're making.This excuse can be countered (对抗）by looking at the fact that other people were no more capable than you thought you were.For example, my 60-year-old next-door neighbor finished running a marathon, so I told myself, "If she can do it, so can I !" Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out. I've witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and so forth. Another common excuse is that "I've already failed too much." If you break down, it's fine, because you are only human.Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.As Winston Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is courage to continue that counts." Some people feel like quitting when they have almost reached their goal, while others attain goals through their efforts until the last second.So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses.Keep going! No excuses! Think, work, and climb, that's how you'll move your life forward. 46. Why does our mind make excuses? A. It tends to seek comforts rather than suffering. B. It needs rest and relaxation .

One of my friends reminded me that I’d always loved beauty, and suggested I apply for a licence, which would give me the freedom to set up my own business. However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day. I’d seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals. I thought I’d do the same. Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick. It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host. She had left a note: “I’ve seen that this has been your dream for such a long time. I’m so happy to lend you a hand.” I called my mom immediately. I was crying and not making much sense. I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true. The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me. Lots of other people donated after her. Soon I paid all the fees for the course. I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve now set up my own business, and I always think about Chrissy’s generosity. I did thank her, and I still follow each other on Twitter. Hopefully, I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday. 51. Why couldn’t the author set up her own business?
