Here are a few fun festivals that you should travel to see this summer. Naadam (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) Naadam, also known as “the three games of men”, is the biggest traditional festival held in Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital. Each July, men compete in Mongolian wrestling, horse racing and archery (射箭). Today, women also take art in the archery and girls in the horse racing. Elvis Week (Memphis) If moving your body to Blue Suede Shoes this summer sounds good to you, then head to Memphis for Elvis Week, usually held in August. Movies, special performances and the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest are just a few activities to keep fans busy. The week of events is held to mark the anniversary (周年纪念日) of the death of Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll”. Glastonbury Festival (Somerset, England) Around 175,000 people gather on a dairy farm in Somerset, England every year for the Glastonbury Festival. Famous bands and singers appear at the 5-day music celebration. The ticket for the festival was £1 when the festival started in 1970, but today, full-weekend general tickets go for about £248. World Bodypainting Festival (Klagenfurt, Austria) During the annual World Bodypainting Festival in Austria, artists from as many as 50 countries compete using a variety of techniques, including brushes, sponges and airbrushes.

Today, women also take art in the archery and girls in the horse racing.(每年七月，男子会参加蒙古摔跤、赛马和射箭比赛。今天，妇女也参加射箭，女孩参加赛马)”可知，在蒙古参加节日的时候，我们会观看到激动人心的比赛。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Elvis Week (Memphis)中“The week of events is held to mark the anniversary (周年纪念日) of the death of Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll”.(这一周的活动是为了纪念“摇滚之王”猫王埃尔维斯·普雷斯利逝世周年纪念日)”可知，Elvis Week节日是为了纪念著名音乐家“猫王”。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Glastonbury Festival (Somerset, England)中“The ticket for the festival was £1 when the festival started in 1970, but today, full-weekend general tickets go for about £248.(在1970年音乐节开始的时候，门票是1英镑，但是今天，整个周末的普通票大约248英镑)”可知，Glastonbury Festival自开演以来，票价大幅上涨。故选C。 B Once there was a small boy called Shankar who belonged to a poor family. One day, he was walking through the forest, carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds.

Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water.”（他看见一个年轻人带着一条狗，想生火，却没有柴。尚卡尔了解了他的问题，给了他一些木头。作为回报，这个人给了他一些食物和水。）可知，年轻人给了他一些食物和水。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Shankar had many wounds on his legs.”（尚卡尔的腿上有很多伤口。）以及“The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well.”（老人帮着给尚卡尔的伤口上……。过了一段时间，尚卡尔好了。）可推知用herbs治好了他的伤口，故可猜测herbs为“药草”的意思。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句“If you help others, then they will also help you.”（如果你帮助别人，那么他们也会帮助你。）以及文章的描述，可知文章主要讲的是互帮互助。故选A项。 C What should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can't make their own choices. Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults.When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy.By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school.Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”.Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions — what to do after school;who are his/her friends, sometimes even when to come home at night. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his/her parents. Now he or she can come and go when he/she likes.The only rule is when they come home at night. Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work? Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices,and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. Before we know it we will become independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun! 8. The first paragraph tries to tell the readers ________. A. Chinese kids don't know what to do B. Chinese kids always have many questions C. Chinese kids believe in their teachers and parents D. Chinese kids depend on adults very much 9. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself？ A. Ten. B. Eleven. C. Twelve. D. Thirteen. 10. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Generally, American kids are more independent than their Chinese fellows. B. Chinese kids will more easily adapt (适应) themselves to society. C. American parents don't care for their children. D. A seventeen American young can do what he likes. 11. In the author's eyes, ________. A. dependence on adults is shameful in China B. independence from adults is worth encouraging C. kids have no ability to make a real choice D. making decisions is rather easy 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国的孩子听到中国孩子有多依赖成年人会很惊讶。之后详细讲述了美国孩子在不同的年龄做的事情，及其孩子为什么学会独立和做选择。 【详解】1.推理判断题。文章第一段首先通过几个问句说出了中国孩子在生活中的各种困惑，然后通过最后两句“Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can't make their own choices.”（中国孩子一次又一次地问他们的老师和家长这些问题，他们不能做出自己的选择。）可以推知，中国孩子的困惑及提问题的原因是他们对成年人过多地依赖。选项D与文意相符，故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”.Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions — what to do after school;who are his/her friends, sometimes even when to come home at night. ”（13岁是美国人所说的“青少年”的开始。现在孩子几乎做了所有的决定——放学后做什么，谁是他/她的朋友，有时甚至晚上什么时候回家。）可知，美国的孩子十三岁时便可以决定几乎所有自己的事情了。选项D与文意相符，故选D。 3.细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，中国孩子在很大程度上依赖成年人的帮助，而根据第二段可知，美国孩子在很小的时候便可以做出几乎所有的决定。对比可知，美国孩子比中国孩子独立性强。选项A与文意相符，故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段，可知作者仍然用了几个问句告诉读者∶孩子必须学会独立，因为老师和父母都不能永远告诉我们该做什么、该怎么做，中学毕业后，我们就得靠自己了。另外，结合最后一段中的最后两句“Before we know it we will become independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun!”（在我们意识到之前，我们会变得独立，自信，能够自己做决定！我们会玩得更开心的！）强调了学会独立带来的好处。可以推知，作者认为独立是值得鼓励的。选项B与文意相符，故选B。 D I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met. In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Nonimported(非进口的)foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education. When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems. When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.” 12. What does the author think of Chinese people? A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work. B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud. C. He dislikes most Chinese people. D. He praises most Chinese people a lot. 13. What is the author doing in China? A. He is teaching English in a school. B. He is visiting the places of interest. C. He is studying in a college. D. He is on business. 14. What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion? A. Clothes and shoes made in China. B. Local foods. C. Imported foods. D. Public transportation tickets. 15 We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________. A. the westerners have got to know China well B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US. C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位在中国教英语的美国人对中国的印象。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic.They are curious and unusually patient and they also the hardest-working people I have ever met.” 大多数中国人友好、随和、乐观，他们好奇、异常耐心，也是我见过的最努力工作的人。可知，作者谈到了许多中国人的优点，这是对中国人的赞扬。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.”可知，他在一所学校教英语。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Non-imported foods are cheap.”可知，非进口的食品便宜，这就意味着进口的食品不便宜。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through.”可知，当我们在西方读到有关中国的新闻时，我们很少看到中国所经历的积极变化。从文章中我们可以推断，作者认为美国很少报道中国的进步。故选B。 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 A little boy told his mother that there was a teacher-parent meeting in his school.

F 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍健忘很正常及改善记忆的方法。 【31题详解】 下文“However, research has shown that there are ways to improve your memory.（然而，调查已经显示有改善你记忆的方法。）”说明健忘属于正常现象，并且有方法可以帮助改善记忆。C项“While this can be a completely normal phenomenon（但这完全属于正常现象。）”与下文“having a poor memory can be frustrating. ”（记忆力不好会让人沮丧。）构成让步关系，故选C。 【32题详解】 上文“Sleeping well helps make episodic memories stronger.（睡得好会帮助加强片段记忆。）”说明睡眠对记忆的重要作用。E项“There is evidence that sleep plays an important role in strengthening memories（有证据表明：睡眠在加强记忆上起到重要作用。）”与上文内容一致，故选E。 【33题详解】 上文“Researchers found they could improve the performance of people aged 60 and above in memory tests by presenting them with positive age-related words such as "wise", and "sharp-witted".（研究发现：他们可以改善60岁人们的表现。通过使用与年龄相关的、积极的词汇评价他们来提高记忆检测水平，如聪明的、机敏的。）”说明积极的词汇可以帮助改善记忆。G项“Giving others words such as "forgettable" and "confused" weakened their performance（说一些其他的词，如健忘的、困惑的，这些词会使他们的表现弱化。）”举出上文情况的反面情况，上下文内容都是在强调积极评论词汇的重要性，故选G。 【34题详解】 下文“More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.（100多年前，德国科学家表明：如果人们休息，那么他们在记忆测试上的表现几乎是之前的2倍好。）”说明休息对记忆的重要性。B项“Take a break（休息）”是本段的小标题，并对下文内容概括总结，故选B。 【35题详解】 下文“US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year found there is a slower decline in recall abilities of the most sociable persons.（每隔一年，美国科学家都会请年龄在50到60岁的人做记忆检测。实验表明：大多数社交型的人在回忆能力方面有更慢的降低趋势。）”说明社交可以减缓遗忘。F项“Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age”（随着我们变老，拥有积极的社交可以延缓记忆丧失。）与下文内容一致，说明社交对记忆的重要性，故选F。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 36. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国朋友Jim来信，询问你如何在繁忙的学习中，保持良好的身体和精神状态（keep fit both physically and mentally）。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 你的建议及理由； 2. 表示祝愿。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Knowing that you have trouble keeping fit both physically and mentally in your life, I am writing to give you some advice.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum”, Peter said, “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: literature,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark(评分) your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment”, Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “literature” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “L-I-T-E-R-A-T-R-U-E”, he whispered. He spelled it wrong. Paragraph 1. “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. Slowly, Peter raised his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”. Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 percent on the test.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peter认真准备了老师要进行的单词拼写测试，并如愿以偿地获得老师的奖励，但是，后来核实自己的试卷时，却发现自己犯了一个错误。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我应该怎么办？’Peter自言自语。”可知，第一段可描写Peter在内心挣扎后，在沉默和诚实之间选择了诚实。 ②由第二段首句内容“Peter缓缓地举起了手。”可知，第二段可描写Peter告诉老师自己拼错了一个单词，得到老师的夸奖。 2.续写线索： 陷入沉思——想起妈妈的话——举手说出事实——同学们惊讶——老师夸奖Peter诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想起：remember/recall ②举手：raise his hand/put his hand up ③把某物递给某人：hand sb sth/pass sb sth 情绪类 ①惊讶：with surprise/with astonishment ②诚实的：honest/truthful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Naadam (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) Naadam, also known as “the three games of men”, is the biggest traditional festival held in Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital. Each July, men compete in Mongolian wrestling, horse racing and archery (射箭). Today, women also take art in the archery and girls in the horse racing. Elvis Week (Memphis) If moving your body to Blue Suede Shoes this summer sounds good to you, then head to Memphis for Elvis Week, usually held in August.

He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you. 4. What did Shankar carry when he walked through the forest? A. Wood. B. Food. C. Water. D. Herbs. 5. Who gave Shankar food and water? A. The old man B. The young man. C. The fox. D. The dog. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “herbs” in Chinese? A. 鲜花 B. 野果 C. 药草 D. 毒虫 7. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Help each other B. A fox may help you C. Don’t believe the stranger D. Food and water are important C What should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can't make their own choices. Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults.When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy.By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school.Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”.Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions — what to do after school;who are his/her friends, sometimes even when to come home at night. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his/her parents. Now he or she can come and go when he/she likes.The only rule is when they come home at night. Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work? Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices,and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. Before we know it we will become independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun! 8. The first paragraph tries to tell the readers ________. A. Chinese kids don't know what to do B. Chinese kids always have many questions C. Chinese kids believe in their teachers and parents D. Chinese kids depend on adults very much 9. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself？ A. Ten. B. Eleven. C. Twelve. D. Thirteen. 10. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Generally, American kids are more independent than their Chinese fellows. B. Chinese kids will more easily adapt (适应) themselves to society. C. American parents don't care for their children. D. A seventeen American young can do what he likes. 11. In the author's eyes, ________. A. dependence on adults is shameful in China B. independence from adults is worth encouraging C. kids have no ability to make a real choice D. making decisions is rather easy D I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met. In China family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Nonimported(非进口的)foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education. When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems. When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.” 12. What does the author think of Chinese people? A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work. B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud. C. He dislikes most Chinese people. D. He praises most Chinese people a lot. 13. What is the author doing in China? A. He is teaching English in a school. B. He is visiting the places of interest. C. He is studying in a college. D. He is on business. 14. What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion? A. Clothes and shoes made in China. B. Local foods. C. Imported foods. D. Public transportation tickets. 15. We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________. A. the westerners have got to know China well B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US. C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China 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 A little boy told his mother that there was a teacher-parent meeting in his school.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum”, Peter said, “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: literature,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark(评分) your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment”, Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “literature” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “L-I-T-E-R-A-T-R-U-E”, he whispered. He spelled it wrong. Paragraph 1. “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2.
