She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life. She went from saying ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can!’ According to this article, she was able to change her life, and her career, by learning the lessons in the poem.” I thought it must be great to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of, a simple poem entitled “I Can.” “I want you to memorize that poem,” Mother said firmly. “Mamaaaaa” I complained. “I can’t learn that poem. It’s too loooong.” “It’s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow.” I dropped my shoulders, turned and made my way back to my bedroom with the magazine in my small right hand. With a heavy heart, I lay on my bed, fell back against the cotton and began my task. “‘can’t’ is a word that is the enemy of ambition,” I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again until it firmly stamped in my heart. “An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will ...” I continued until the following evening, when I proudly recited the poem that has continued to be my motto. Ms. Thomas did not know me, but her story forever changed my life. Saying “I can” helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying “I can” helped me to do things I would otherwise have thought out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will sustain me to seventy-seven. Maybe even longer. 41. What does the author mean by saying she was the “poster child”? A. Her pictures are often posted on the posters of different kinds. B. She endorses (代言) a product which is popular with people. C. She holds a negative attitude and cannot finish anything by herself. D. She was seen as a typical example of people with the same quality. 42. What can be learned about Marlo Thomas? A. She was forced to recite a poem by her mother. B. She wrote an article about how to memorize poems. C. She was deeply influenced by a poem. D. She became a great woman under her father’s education. 43. Why did Mother want the author to memorize the poem? A. She believed the poem could help change the author. B. She wanted to set Marlo Thomas as an example for the author. C. She hoped the author would become wiser by learning the poem. D. She wanted the author to write a similar poem. 44. What does “I dropped my shoulders” imply? A. I was not confident in remembering the poem. B. I was angry with my mother. C. I didn’t understand the poem. D. I didn’t want to be a person like Marlo. 45. What is this story mainly about? A. The importance of memorizing poems. B. How a mother educated her child. C. The influence of Marlo Thomas on the author. D. How the author became more confident. C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Camero on (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 46. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected. 47. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2? A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 48. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present? A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400. C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200. 49. Which language is spoken by the least number of people according to the passage? A. Busuu in Cameroon. B. Chiapaneco in Mexico. C. Lipan Apache in the United States. D. Wadjigu in Australia. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. D If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 51. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 52. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 53. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________. A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 54. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 55. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________. A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical 第Ⅱ卷 (满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5个小题，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 From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do. On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.” Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable. After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed. Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways. Every single day, I feel excited to go to work. 56 Why did the author dislike her job? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________ 57.

I could我能；C. my pleasure我的荣幸（帮助对方做完某事以后，回答对方提出的感谢）；D. with pleasure我的荣幸（答应对方做某事，事情还没有做）。根据语境及选项可知，D项符合题意。故选D。 【点睛】交际用语的考查要根据上下文的含义以及逻辑关系，也要注意中西方文化在表达上的差异，要有跨文化的意识。同时要特别注意西方的文明礼仪在交际用语中的体现。如：在面对对方的赞扬的时候，应该使用Thanks.等等。 2. The father as well as his three children _____________ skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter. A. is going B. go C. goes D. are going 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致。句意：冬天的每个星期天下午，父亲和他的三个孩子都要在结冰的河上滑冰。as well as连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词应与前边的主语保持人称和数的一致，即句子的主语是the father，应用单数；由every Sunday afternoon in winter可知应用一般现在时态。故选C。 3 His reaction to the good news — complete silence and no expression — made everyone feel uneasy.

She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life. She went from saying ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can!’ According to this article, she was able to change her life, and her career, by learning the lessons in the poem.” I thought it must be great to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of, a simple poem entitled “I Can.” “I want you to memorize that poem,” Mother said firmly. “Mamaaaaa,” I complained. “I can’t learn that poem. It’s too loooong.” “It’s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow.” I dropped my shoulders, turned and made my way back to my bedroom with the magazine in my small right hand. With a heavy heart, I lay on my bed, fell back against the cotton and began my task. “‘can’t’ is a word that is the enemy of ambition,” I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again until it firmly stamped in my heart. “An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will ...” I continued until the following evening, when I proudly recited the poem that has continued to be my motto. Ms. Thomas did not know me, but her story forever changed my life. Saying “I can” helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying “I can” helped me to do things I would otherwise have thought out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will sustain me to seventy-seven. Maybe even longer. 41.

She was forced to recite a poem by her mother. B. She wrote an article about how to memorize poems. C. She was deeply influenced by a poem. D. She became a great woman under her father’s education. 43. Why did Mother want the author to memorize the poem? A. She believed the poem could help change the author. B. She wanted to set Marlo Thomas as an example for the author. C. She hoped the author would become wiser by learning the poem. D. She wanted the author to write a similar poem. 44. What does “I dropped my shoulders” imply? A. I was not confident in remembering the poem. B. I was angry with my mother. C. I didn’t understand the poem. D. I didn’t want to be a person like Marlo. 45. What is this story mainly about? A. The importance of memorizing poems. B. How a mother educated her child. C. The influence of Marlo Thomas on the author. D. How the author became more confident. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲是作者在妈妈的帮助下从一个凡事都说“我不能”的孩子变成了说“我能行”的孩子。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was always followed by my words, “I caaaan’t.”（无论我妈妈叫我做什么，我总是说:“我不能。”）”可知，作者说她是一个“poster child”的意思是她被视为具有同样品质的人的典型例子，即凡事都说 “我不能”，故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life.（她讲述了父亲强迫她学习的一首简单的诗如何改变了她的生活。）”可知，Marlo Thomas深受一首诗的影响。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“According to this article, she was able to change her life, and her career, by learning the lessons in the poem.（根据这篇文章，她能够通过学习诗中的教训来改变自己的生活和事业。）”可知，妈妈想让作者记住这首诗，因为她相信这首诗可以帮助改变作者。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第五段的“I can’t learn that poem. It’s too loooong.（我学不会那首诗。它太长了。）”及倒数第三段的“With a heavy heart（心情沉重地）”可知，作者没有信心能记住这首诗。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“I was the “I can’t” child-- the poster child for the word “can’t.” Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was always followed by my words, “I caaaan’t.”（我是那个说“我不行”的孩子——“不行”这个词的典型代表。无论我妈妈叫我做什么，我总是说:“我不能。”）”和最后一段的“Saying “I can” helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying “I can” helped me to do things I would otherwise have thought out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will sustain me to seventy-seven. Maybe even longer.（ 说“我能行”帮助我度过了生命中最糟糕的时刻。说“我能行”帮助我做了一些我认为自己做不到的事情。七岁学会的一首简单的诗，能支撑我到七十七岁。甚至更长时间。）”可知，这个故事主要讲的是作者是如何变得更加自信的，故选D。 C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Camero on (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 46. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected. 47. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2? A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 48. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present? A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400. C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200. 49. Which language is spoken by the least number of people according to the passage? A. Busuu in Cameroon. B. Chiapaneco in Mexico. C. Lipan Apache in the United States. D. Wadjigu in Australia. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. B 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了语言历经数千年不断演变，如今消亡速度加快，现存语言分布不均且众多语言濒临灭绝。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. (一些语言专家认为，一万年前，当世界上只有五百万到一千万人口时，他们之间可能会说1.2万种语言。)”可知，在狩猎采集时代，语言数量众多。故选B。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. (近几个世纪以来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年的全球化和更好的通信，都导致了许多语言的消失，而英语、西班牙语和汉语等dominant语言正日益占据主导地位。)”可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语等这些语言逐渐占据主导地位，故dominant意思是“强大的，占主导地位的”，与Powerful意思相近。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. (目前，世界上大约有6800种语言。)”以及“The median number of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that. (使用者的中位数仅为6000人，这意味着世界上一半的语言的使用者少于这个数字。)”可知，目前有大约3400种语言的使用者少于6000人。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Pick, at random, Busuu in Camero on (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. (随机挑选，喀麦隆的布苏语（剩下8名使用者），墨西哥的恰帕内科语（150名使用者），美国的利潘·阿帕奇语（两三个使用者）或澳大利亚的瓦吉古语（一个，带问号）：这些语言似乎都没有太大的生存机会。)”可知，澳大利亚的瓦吉古语使用者最少。故选D。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. (不久之后，这些人中的许多人开始定居下来成为农民，他们的语言也变得更加稳定，数量也越来越少。)”可知，本文主要讲述了人类的发展导致语言的减少。故选C。 D If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 51. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有两种幸福，作者着重讲述了第二种幸福，认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天幸福。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. (我不相信幸福有一个普遍的定义。根据我的说法，幸福是一种非常主观的情感)”可推知，作者认为幸福很主观，所以每个人都有自己的幸福。故选B项。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. (我所说的第二种幸福来自我们对生活的期望，这种期望因人而异。例如，一个对自己的生活抱有很大期望的人可能会发现很难找到幸福。他们在生活中不断地寻找these things，而这些东西似乎总是逃避他们)”可知，人们对生活有太多期望是难以找到幸福的，可得出these things指代上文提到的“对生活的期望”。故选D项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! (在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们寻求更多的新目标、新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，即使他们的目标实现了，有些人仍然不快乐，是因为他们有需要实现的新目标要完成。故选C项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人可能会幸福。故选D项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“here is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. (有一种幸福是普遍的，还有另一种幸福，对我们每个人来说都很独特。正是这种幸福让我觉得更有趣)”和第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，作者认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天、能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人更有可能每天幸福。由此推知，作者告诉读者要随遇而安，尽情享受每一天，去感受幸福。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 (满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5个小题，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。 From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do. On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.” Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable. After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed. Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways. Every single day, I feel excited to go to work. 56. Why did the author dislike her job? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________ 58. What made the author choose to become a teacher? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________ 59. How does the author’s life change after being a teacher? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________ 60. What kind of career will you choose after graduation? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because she got fed up with too much paperwork and travelling. Or: Because it involved too much paperwork and a lot of travelling. Or: Because she was tired of too much paperwork and travelling. 57. were scheduled/intended/meant/certain for. 58. Her volunteer experience and her friend’s encouragement. 59. She earns less but works more happily than before. Or: She earns less but becomes richer in many ways. 60. I will choose a job that is related to my interest because the love for job brings the real happiness. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己从律师改变为老师的职业经历说明找工作应该和兴趣有关，做自己热爱的工作，会给自己带来真正的快乐。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. (事实上，我开始讨厌我的工作了。它涉及太多的文书工作和大量的旅行，我认为这是相当累的。)”可知，作者之所以讨厌自己的工作是因为她厌倦了太多的文书工作和旅行。故答案为Because she got fed up with too much paperwork and travelling. Or: Because it involved too much paperwork and a lot of travelling. Or: Because she was tired of too much paperwork and travelling. 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“That was the track I was on. (那是我当时的轨迹。)”说明那是作者当时设计好了的未来，从而推知划线词句“I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. (我喜欢我的学校，但它竞争激烈，学生们were destined for要上好大学，然后是研究生计划。)”其中划线短语应为“设计好的，设定的，预期的”的意思。故答案为Were scheduled/intended/meant/certain for. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. (我上一次开心是在学校做志愿者的时候。正因为如此，我的朋友索菲亚一直告诉我，我会喜欢教书。然后我联系了四所学校，最后成为了一名老师。)”可知，是作者志愿者的经历和朋友的鼓励使她成为一名老师。故答案为Her volunteer experience and her friend’s encouragement. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways.(看着我的学生成长是如此有意义，一天的结果让我充满了骄傲。我过去一想到要成为一名更资深的律师就感到害怕，但我对教学所能提供的机会非常乐观。我现在挣得少了，但在很多方面我变得更富有了。)”可知，作者成为老师之后，挣得钱少了，但是比以前更加快乐，精神更富有。故答案为She earns less but works more happily than before. Or: She earns less but becomes richer in many ways. 【60题详解】 阅读表达题。通读全文可知，作者通过自己从律师改变为教师的职业经历说明了找工作应该和兴趣有关，做自己热爱的工作，会给自己带来真正的幸福和快乐，所以我会选择一个与我的兴趣相关的工作，因为对工作的热爱能带来真正的幸福。故答案为I will choose a job that is related to my interest because the love for job brings the real happiness. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 你校英语报正在举办以“AI in Our Study and Daily Life”为主题的征文活动，请用英语写一篇短文投稿，介绍AI对学习和生活的帮助，要点如下： (1)学习方面； (2)生活方面； (3)对AI的期待。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 AI in Our Study and Daily Life ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 AI in Our Study and Daily Life With the development of science and technology, AI has been significantly influencing our study and daily life.
