For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S. E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granie Falls. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors. As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 36. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______ A. creative B. interesting C. discouraging D. realistic 37. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award? A. She concerned herself with current social problems. B. She motivated students to learn music with her creativity. C. She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years. D. She made great efforts to arouse students’ interest in literature. 38. Which of the following is an example of Peterson’s way of teaching music? A. She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice. B. She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching. C. She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes. D. She helped students compose songs by themselves. 39. In Peterson’s opinion. . A. art, music and PE classes are all important B. more subjects should be offered to students C. students should be motivated to attend art classes D. arts education is more important than other subjects 40. It can be concluded from the text that ______. A. Peterson’s honor was an inspiration for the local people B Peterson’s art classes attracted students back to school C. Peterson aroused the local residents’ passion for music D. Peterson will change her profession next year 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. B 39. A 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了安德里亚·彼得森的生平及她对推动音乐教学的巨大贡献及克服困难的创造力。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句中“creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies(组织一个音乐节目，几乎没有钱购买设备或用品)”可知，彼得森要在没有钱买设备和乐器的情况下筹备一个音乐节目，这是令人沮丧的。由此可知，划线词daunting与discouraging同义，意为“令人沮丧的”。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year.(由于她克服这些挑战的动力和创造力，她被评为年度全国教师)”可知，她被授予国家年度教师的原因是她用自己的创造力激励学生学习音乐。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.(凯特勒和基督山小学的其他人谈到了她将其他教室的学习引入她的音乐课程的方式，以及她在解决诸如缺乏新音乐资金等问题方面的创造力)”可推知，彼得森老师可以利用其他科的内容来进行音乐教学。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day.(她说，学校提供艺术、音乐和体育等课程是必要的，因为对一些孩子来说，这些课程中的一门是唯一能激励他们日复一日地回到学校的东西)”可推知，彼得森认为美术、音乐和体育课都很重要。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.(知道来自小城镇的人甚至可以赢得国家荣誉，真是令人鼓舞)”可知，人们没有想到小镇的人也可以得国家奖项，彼得森的荣誉对当地人来说是一个惊喜。故选A。 C Each year, millions of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem, the United Nations (UN) is putting education first. Recently, the UN screened a documentary film (纪录片) called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries for the 12-year project “Time for School”. These films follow seven children from seven different countries. This 12-year project began in 2003, when the children first started school. “This is something we could do to help the education crisis (危机) in the world,” said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Documentary film-makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.” More than 100 million children will never set foot in schools, sixty percent of whom are girls. Cheryl Faye, head of the UN Girls Education Initiative, spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also, girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need to make a special effort for girls,” Faye said. As part of the UN’s goals, the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2015. Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh-grade class is raising money to help build a library in the suburb of Nairobi Kenya, where Joab—a child in the documentary lives. The class teacher, Karen Weiner, and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh-graders at Lawrence Middle School, kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education, kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance at a better, happier life. 41. What is the purpose of the UN screening a documentary film Back to School! A. To raise funds for global education. B. To encourage all the children to come back to school. C. To raise public awareness of the need for global education. D. To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years. 42. Why should special efforts be made for girls? A. Because sixty percent of the children in the world are girls. B. Because more than 100 million girls will never go to school. C. Because most of the girls are tired of going to school. D. Because more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls. 43. Which of the following could NOT be the factor that prevents girls from getting an education? A. Being born weak. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了联合国为了引起人们对全球教育问题的关注，放映了纪录片《重返学校》，介绍了全球儿童无法上学的现状，尤其是女孩受教育面临的问题，还举例说明了纽约劳伦斯中学的学生受影片启发后为肯尼亚孩子的教育筹集资金的行动。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To draw attention to this widespread problem, the United Nations (UN) is putting education first. Recently, the UN screened a documentary film (纪录片) called Back to School.(为了引起人们对这个普遍存在的问题的关注，联合国将教育放在首位。最近，联合国放映了一部名为《重返学校》的纪录片)”可知，联合国放映纪录片《重返学校》的目的是引起公众对全球教育需求的关注，也就是提高公众对全球教育需求的意识，故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“More than 100 million children will never set foot in schools, sixty percent of whom are girls. Cheryl Faye, head of the UN Girls Education Initiative, spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. “We need to make a special effort for girls,” Faye said.”(超过一亿的孩子永远不会踏入学校，其中百分之六十是女孩。联合国女童教育倡议负责人谢丽尔・费伊谈到了许多阻碍女孩接受教育的因素。“我们需要为女孩做出特别的努力，” 费伊说)”可知，超过一亿的孩子从未踏入学校，其中百分之六十是女孩，所以没有上学的孩子中超过一半是女孩，这就是要为女孩做出特别努力的原因，故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also, girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families.(一个问题是许多孩子必须长途跋涉才能上学。此外，在许多文化中，传统上期望女孩早婚并工作以帮助家庭)”可知，很多孩子上学路途遥远、女孩传统上早婚以及需要工作帮助家庭都是阻碍女孩接受教育的因素，B选项“Long distance from school(离学校距离远)”、C选项“Early marriage(早婚)”以及D选项“Helping work for the family(为家庭帮忙干活)”都符合，而A选项“Being born weak(天生体弱)”在文中未提及是阻碍女孩受教育的因素。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The seventh-grade class is raising money to help build a library in the suburb of Nairobi, Kenya, where Joab—a child in the documentary lives. The class teacher, Karen Weiner, and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”.(七年级的班级正在筹集资金，帮助在肯尼亚内罗毕郊区建造一座图书馆，纪录片中的孩子乔布就住在那里。班主任凯伦・韦纳和这个班级在他们学校被称为“肯尼亚团队”)”可知，七年级的班级正在筹集资金，帮助在纪录片中的孩子乔布所在的肯尼亚内罗毕郊区建一座图书馆，班主任凯伦・韦纳和这个班级在学校里被称为“肯尼亚团队”，所以他们被称为“肯尼亚团队”是因为他们在为肯尼亚孩子的教育努力筹集资金，故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh-grade class is raising money to help build a library in the suburb of Nairobi, Kenya, where Joab—a child in the documentary lives. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh-graders at Lawrence Middle School, kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education, kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance at a better, happier life.(纽约劳伦斯中学的学生们在看完这部电影后深受感动。七年级的班级正在筹集资金，帮助在肯尼亚内罗毕郊区建造一座图书馆，纪录片中的孩子乔布就住在那里。所有的孩子都非常高兴能够支持乔布，并表示他们对自己的筹款努力感觉很棒。就像劳伦斯中学的七年级学生一样，孩子们可以共同努力，在内罗毕这样的地方有所作为。通过为教育筹集资金，孩子们可以帮助世界另一端的孩子们有机会过上更好、更幸福的生活)”可知，纽约劳伦斯中学的学生看了这部电影后深受感动，七年级的学生为帮助肯尼亚孩子建图书馆筹集资金，并且像他们一样，其他孩子也可以通过筹集资金为世界另一端的孩子带来更好、更幸福的生活机会，可推理出最后一段主要是关于一个受影片启发后采取行动的例子，故选B项。 第四部分：写作(共两节，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，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Tegla Loroupe is a Kenyan long-distance track and road runner.

Because she has achieved a lot in running and contributes to peace.”（特格拉・洛鲁普很伟大。因为她在跑步方面取得了很多成就，并且为和平做出了贡献。）答案不唯一，合理即可。故填Tegla Loroupe is great. Because she has achieved a lot in running and contributes to peace. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假定你是李华，你校英语报“Great People”专栏正在征文，请写一篇短文，介绍你心目中最具工匠精神的名人，并投稿。 内容包括：1. 名人简介；2. 主要事迹和贡献；3. 对你的影响。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Born in July 1924 in Beijing, Ye Jiaying is a Chinese-born Canadian poet and scholar of classical Chinese literature.

Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey! Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language) ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. You may enroll in available seats after the priority enrollment period. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you. Changing Your Course Enrollment List You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it. Withdrawing (退出) from Courses If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record Taking Exams Some instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making them available to all students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask questions and what they regard as relevant (相关的) material. You can also access the exams online. 31. Who gets priority in ESL course enrollment? A. International students. B. Degree-seeking students. C. First-year exchange students. D. Students with high test scores. 32. What is the purpose of the ESL Placement Test? A. To improve the students’ language skills. B. To encourage the students to answer questions. C. To put the students in a class that fits them. D. To help the students apply for a degree. 33. What is the deadline for a free enrollment list change? A. The day when the class is full. B. The first day of instruction. C. The first week of the class. D. The end of the second week. 34. What should exchange students do if they choose to stop taking a course? A. Go through the procedures to drop it. B. Seek assistance from UCLA officials. C. Present past academic records to UCLA. D. Make a request to the Registration Office. 35. Working on previous tests helps students ______. A. imitate the way that their instructors write test questions B. learn how questions are asked and what they are based on C. come up with new ideas about how testing relates to teaching D. narrow down to what has not yet been covered in online tests B When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S. E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granie Falls. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors. As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 36. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______ A. creative B. interesting C. discouraging D. realistic 37. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award? A. She concerned herself with current social problems. B. She motivated students to learn music with her creativity. C. She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years. D. She made great efforts to arouse students’ interest in literature. 38. Which of the following is an example of Peterson’s way of teaching music? A. She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice. B. She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching. C. She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes. D. She helped students compose songs by themselves. 39. In Peterson’s opinion. . A. art, music and PE classes are all important B. more subjects should be offered to students C. students should be motivated to attend art classes D. arts education is more important than other subjects 40. It can be concluded from the text that ______. A. Peterson’s honor was an inspiration for the local people B. Peterson’s art classes attracted students back to school C. Peterson aroused the local residents’ passion for music D. Peterson will change her profession next year C Each year, millions of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem, the United Nations (UN) is putting education first. Recently, the UN screened a documentary film (纪录片) called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries for the 12-year project “Time for School”. These films follow seven children from seven different countries. This 12-year project began in 2003, when the children first started school. “This is something we could do to help the education crisis (危机) in the world,” said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Documentary film-makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.” More than 100 million children will never set foot in schools, sixty percent of whom are girls. Cheryl Faye, head of the UN Girls Education Initiative, spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also, girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need to make a special effort for girls,” Faye said. As part of the UN’s goals, the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2015. Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh-grade class is raising money to help build a library in the suburb of Nairobi, Kenya, where Joab—a child in the documentary lives. The class teacher, Karen Weiner, and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh-graders at Lawrence Middle School, kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education, kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance at a better, happier life. 41. What is the purpose of the UN screening a documentary film Back to School! A. To raise funds for global education. B. To encourage all the children to come back to school. C. To raise public awareness of the need for global education. D. To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years. 42. Why should special efforts be made for girls? A. Because sixty percent of the children in the world are girls. B. Because more than 100 million girls will never go to school. C. Because most of the girls are tired of going to school. D. Because more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls. 43. Which of the following could NOT be the factor that prevents girls from getting an education? A. Being born weak. B. Long distance from school. C. Early marriage. D. Helping work for the family. 44. Karen Weiner and the class are considered as “Kenya crew” because ______. A. they all have the same experience as Joab-the Kenya child B. they are the actors in the documentary film Back to School C. they are mostly from Kenya, where the child in the documentary lives D. they are trying great efforts to raise money for the education of Kenya children 45 What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. American middle school students’ desire to go to Kenya. B. An example of being inspired to take action after seeing the film. C. The content of the documentary film Back to School. D. How students from Lawrence Middle School raise money for their education. 第四部分：写作(共两节，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，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Tegla Loroupe is a Kenyan long-distance track and road runner.
