These are some sites on its World Heritage List. Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov. The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 12th century.

Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada’s Writing-on-Stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are about 2,000 years old.

Paraty and IIha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island IIha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. Paraty was the end-point of the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s: The area is also the home to a huge number of animals, some of which are in danger now. 36.

I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss. Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted (使……突出) FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me. Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He got very angry but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) of my bones! I didn’t know how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit. When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, big changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books. One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it! 41. The author wrote this text with the purpose of ________.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在工程学校时生活散漫、成绩糟糕，父亲发现其吸烟后削减零用钱，他由此改变，戒烟、用功学习，最终获优等成绩，明白了行动的力量。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large.( 这件事让我知道，任何事情都是可能的，如果你采取行动，做一些事情，无论大小)”可知，作者在文中讲述了自己在工程学校时生活随意，成绩糟糕，后来父亲发现他吸烟并削减了他的零用钱，这使他意识到必须改变。他做出改变后从一个失败者变成了优等生。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是说明只要采取行动就能克服任何困难。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He got very angry but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.”(后来有一天，我爸爸发现了我吸烟的习惯。他很生气，但他只是告诉我：“儿子，从现在起，你的零用钱被削减了一半。”)”可知，父亲是在发现作者有吸烟的习惯时决定削减他的零用钱。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not till my dad found out about it.( 两年过去了，我盯着成绩单看，上面有一半以上的科目都不及格。我不在乎，至少在我爸爸发现之前)”，第三段中“Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He got very angry but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.”(后来有一天，我爸爸发现了我吸烟的习惯。他很生气，但他只是告诉我：“儿子，从现在起，你的零用钱被削减了一半。”)”和倒数第二段“When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, big changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.( 当我回到大学，我知道，如果我不改变我的生活方式，我将无法支付每个人。所以我决定做些改变，很大的改变。我戒了烟，断绝了和那些把我引入歧途的朋友的联系，开始去图书馆闲逛，阅读我的工程类书籍)”可知，作者直到零用钱被削减一半才开始关心学习。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, big changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.( 当我回到大学，我知道，如果我不改变我的生活方式，我将无法支付每个人。所以我决定做些改变，很大的改变。我戒了烟，断绝了和那些把我引入歧途的朋友的联系，开始去图书馆闲逛，阅读我的工程类书籍)”可知，作者之前生活随意，有吸烟、和不良朋友交往等坏习惯。后来他做出改变，戒烟，和引导他走弯路的朋友断绝往来，开始泡图书馆学习。由此可推知，“Life was never the same again.”意思是他打破了那些坏习惯，不再过随意的生活了。故选B项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.( 你知道的，我在印度学习，不像在美国，学生们要自己负担教育费用，我父亲资助了我)”可知，在美国学生倾向于自己挣钱支付大学费用。故选C项。 C In the spring of 2012, Premont Independent School District in Premont, Texas, was in trouble. The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs. Yet they still had football, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, cheerleading, and baseball teams. So superintendent (监管人) Emest Singleton made a big decision: He canceled sports. By canceling sports, the district could save $150,000 in one year. In many schools, sports are so popular that no one realizes their actual cost. New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders. For home games, schools often pay for security, painting the lines on the field, and cleaning up. Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night. Fall of 2012 at Premont was extremely quiet. There were no Friday night games to look forward to, no cheerleaders making posters in the hallway. But this quiet had an advantage. That first semester,80 percent of students passed their classes, compared with 50 percent the previous fall. About 160 people attended parent-teacher night, compared with six the year before. Today, Premont has no debt, and the district will stay open. The science labs have even been repaired. This past spring, Premont brought back baseball, track, and tennis, but in a limited way. The district has a lot of work to do before its students can feel the kind of pride in their academics that they once felt in their sports teams. But students have proved their ability to adapt. Will more schools follow Premont’s lead? They should. 46. According to Paragraph 1 Premont Independent School District ________. A valued music and science B. had to cut costs to stay open C. paid little attention to sports D. had good high school graduation rates 47. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Sports cost schools a lot of money. B. Sports are very popular in America. C. American schools think highly of sports. D. Schools should try to cover the cost of sports. 48. What’ can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Many students love playing football. B. Sports help students increase their focus. C. It takes students little effort to play football. D. Sports distract students’ attention from learning. 49. After sports were canceled in Premont, ________. A. a lot of money was saved B many other schools canceled sports C. half of the students passed their exams D. students found it hard to adapt to the new system 50. What is the author’s attitude toward Premont’s action of canceling sports? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive: D. Disapproving. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了德克萨斯州的Premont学区因财务和学业问题取消体育活动，节省资金且学生成绩提升、家长参与度增加，作者支持此举。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs.(该州曾因财政问题和学业失败威胁要关闭该校。为了削减成本，该学区将中学搬到了高中大楼；那所小学已经很多年没有音乐老师了；高中已经封锁了科学实验室。)”可知，该学区因为财政问题和学业成绩不佳面临关闭的威胁，为了削减成本采取了一系列措施。所以它必须削减成本来维持学校的运营。故选B项。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders.(新的露天看台要花费50万美元。维护一片草地每年要花费2万多美元。学校还需要支付球队、乐队和啦啦队员的各种费用。)”可知，列举了建造露天看台、维护草坪、支付团队等各种费用，主要是说明体育活动花费学校很多钱。故选A项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night.( 然而，分心可能是最大的代价。特别是在足球赛季，人们的注意力从学习上转移了。选手们花很长时间练习到深夜。)”可知，体育活动分散了学生学习的注意力。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By canceling sports, the district could save$150,000 in one year.( 通过取消体育活动，该学区可以在一年内节省15万美元。)”可知，取消体育活动后，该学区一年能节省15万美元。故选A项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者在文中讲述了Premont 学区取消体育活动后带来的积极变化，如学生成绩提高、家长参与度增加、学校没有债务等，并且最后文章末尾说“Will more schools follow Premont’s lead? They should.( 会有更多的学校效仿Premont吗？他们应该。)”由此可知，表明作者支持 Premont 取消体育活动的做法。故选C项。 D Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics (工作狂). What are some characteristics of workaholics? How could a person tell that he/ she is a workaholic? A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they’ re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they’ re up; when work is going less well, they’ re down. Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working — or doing something to promote their work — they feel anxious and guilty. There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit (追求) doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study found that working too much negatively influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising,since if you’re married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything, or anyone, else.There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self. However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self worth and confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a resolution. 51. What can we learn from the text? A. Work has stronger effects on workaholics than on others. B. Hard-working people enjoy bester health than other people do. C. Workaholics work to build better relationships. D. Workaholics care more about their hdalth than others do. 52. When workaholics are not busy working, they ________. A. promote their work B. form a bad habit easily C. feel uneasy and insecure D. have a chance to prove their own value 53. What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A. Bad influences of workaholism. B. Different patterns of workaholics. C. How people deal with their addictions. D. How hard-working people differ from workaholics. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards working hard? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious. 55. What can we do to help a workaholic in life? A. Force him to join family activities. B. Reward him for his hard work. C. Help him find self worth and confidence. D. Try to be understanding and supporting. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. A 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍工作狂的特征、负面影响及努力工作的积极面，还有对工作狂的建议。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.(工作影响他们的情绪：当工作进展顺利时，他们情绪高涨；当工作不太顺利时，他们情绪低落。)”可知，工作对工作狂的影响比对其他人更大。故选A项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When workaholics aren’t busy working — or doing something to promote their work — they feel anxious and guilty.(当工作狂不忙于工作——或者做一些促进工作的事情时，他们会感到焦虑和内疚。)”可知，工作狂不忙于工作时，会感到不安和不自在。故选C项。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“There is a link between health problems and workaholism.(健康问题和工作狂之间存在联系。)”以及第四段中的“Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well.(除了健康问题，成为工作狂还会带来其他负面影响。)”可知，这两段主要讲述工作狂的不良影响。故选A项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards.(然而，努力工作和对事业越来越投入也有很多积极的方面。努力工作能带来巨大的回报。)”可知，作者既提到了工作狂的负面影响，也肯定了努力工作的积极面，态度是客观的。故选B项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a resolution.(如果你生活中有一个工作狂，你可能会指出他或她在工作时错过的事情，无论是孩子的足球比赛、一本好书还是一节瑜伽课。努力理解这个人为什么觉得需要这么努力工作，并支持他们找到解决办法。)”可知，帮助生活中的工作狂，要试着理解并支持他们。故选D项。 V.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) I remember him on his first day in the sixth grade. He was the only black face in a sea of white. A few days later, he had yet to connect with anyone. Our teacher asked me to talk to him. So I went over to him and said, “Hi.” He replied, “Hi.” And that was it for day one. The next day, “What’s up?” “Not much.” We added a word or two each day until full sentences were formed, and then a paragraph. Soon we became good friends and our friendship survived new friendships and small arguments. One day, with nothing better to do, we played jokes on each other. When it was my turn, I expressed criticism of his choice of clothing. He was laughing as hard as I was. Strangely enough,I remember so much about that day except in what context (语境) the N-word (rude word for a black person) was used. My purposes were not to wound him obviously. He was my best friend. But the look on his face told me otherwise. It was a few days before we spoke again. Although we insisted we’d be friends forever, I never saw him after high school. It may not have had anything to do with what I said, or it may have had everything. By that point, we weren’t intimate enough for me to ask any more. Several days ago, there was a near race riot (暴动) during a high school basketball game, and angry teenagers shouted several rude words. These words brought back a flood of memories. All I wonder is if these kids will ever feel as bad as I did for using such a rude word. It’s a curse (诅咒) word, but the real curse is on the person who uses it. 56. What does the first paragraph talk about? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 57. What happened to the author’s friend according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean in English? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________________ 59. What reminded the author of his unpleasant memories? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 60. What can we learn from the story between the author and his friend? (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. How the author got to know his friend. 57. His friend was badly hurt by the author’s words. 58. Close./ Familiar. 59. Several rude words said by the angry teenagers. 60. We should be careful with our words to avoid hurting others. (开放式话题，答案合理即可。) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者与六年级时唯一的黑人同学从相识到成为好友，后因作者使用不礼貌词汇导致友谊出现裂痕，多年后回忆此事仍感愧疚的故事。 【56题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第一段“I remember him on his first day in the sixth grade. He was the only black face in a sea of white. A few days later, he had yet to connect with anyone. Our teacher asked me to talk to him. So I went over to him and said, “Hi.” He replied, “Hi.” And that was it for day one. The next day, “What’s up?” “Not much.” We added a word or two each day until full sentences were formed, and then a paragraph.(我还记得他上六年级的第一天。在一片白人面孔中，他是唯一的黑人孩子。几天后，他仍未和任何人建立起联系。老师让我去跟他聊聊。于是我走到他面前，说了声“嗨”。他回了句“嗨”。第一天的交流就只有这些。第二天，我问“还好吗？”他答“还行。”我们每天都比前一天多聊一两个词，直到能说完整的句子，后来甚至能聊上一段话。)”可知，第一段主要讲述作者是如何认识他的朋友的。故答案为How the author got to know his friend. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Strangely enough, I remember so much about that day except in what context (语境) the N-word (rude word for a black person) was used. My purposes were not to wound him obviously. He was my best friend. But the look on his face told me otherwise. (说来也怪，那天的很多细节我都记得清清楚楚，唯独想不起那个 N 字（对黑人的侮辱性称呼）是在什么语境下说出口的。显然，我并非有意要伤害他 —— 他是我最好的朋友。但他脸上的神情却告诉我，情况并非如此。)”可知，作者说了对黑人侮辱性的话语，由此可知，作者的朋友被作者的话深深伤害了。故答案为His friend was badly hurt by the author’s words. 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段“Although we insisted we’d be friends forever, I never saw him after high school. It may not have had anything to do with what I said, or it may have had everything. By that point, we weren’t intimate enough for me to ask any more. (尽管我们曾坚称会永远是朋友，但高中毕业后我就再也没见过他了。这或许与我当初说的话毫无关系，又或许完全是因为那句话。到了那个时候，我们的关系已经没那么……了，我再也没机会问个究竟。)”可知，作者在高中毕业后再也没有见过他，不知道是不是因为当初所说的那句话，此时已没有机会问个究竟，由此可知，此处表示两个人的关系不够“亲密”了，所以，“intimate”的意思与“亲密的”意义相近。故答案为Close./ Familiar. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Several days ago, there was a near race riot during a high school basketball game, and angry teenagers shouted several rude words. These words brought back a flood of memories. (几天前，一场高中篮球赛中差点发生种族暴动，愤怒的青少年们喊出了一些粗鲁的话。这些话勾起了我一连串的回忆。)”可知，愤怒青少年喊的粗鲁话语让作者想起了不愉快的回忆。故答案为Several rude words said by the angry teenagers. 【60题详解】 开放回答题。本题为开放性试题，答案合理即可。结合故事中作者因使用不礼貌词汇伤害朋友并感到愧疚，可总结出“说话时应当谨慎，以免伤害到他人”的启示。故答案为We should be careful with our words to avoid hurting others.

These are some sites on its World Heritage List. Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov. The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 12th century. Babylon (Iraq) The ancient city of Babylon was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The city with a history of more than 4,000 years is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO says the site “offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world”. Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada’s Writing-on-Stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are about 2,000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock posts that have been formed into “spectacular shapes” by erosion (侵蚀). Paraty and IIha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island IIha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. Paraty was the end-point of the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s: The area is also the home to a huge number of animals, some of which are in danger now. 36. What do we know about the buildings in Pskov? A. They are merely churches. B. They are a group of ancient schools. C. Their paintings are about 2,000 years old. D. Their designs came from the same school. 37. Which of the following shows us the earliest ancient civilization? A. Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture. B. Babylon. C. Writing-on-Stone. D. Paraty and IIha Grande. 38. What can we learn from the Writing-on-Stone monument? A. It is the best-preserved monument in Canada B. It enjoys great popularity with visitors. C.

Inform people of basic information about UNESCO. C. Encourage people to visit four famous cities. D. Introduce four World Heritage Sites. B I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss. Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted (使……突出) FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me. Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He got very angry but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) of my bones! I didn’t know how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit. When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, big changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books. One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it! 41. The author wrote this text with the purpose of ________.

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that the author A. paid off his debt and life wasn’t hard for him any more B. broke his bad habits and didn’t lead a casual life C. never hung out with his friends but studied all day D. began to live a happy life due to his good grades 45. What can we learn from the text? A. The author did well in making good friends in the school. B. The author made great progress with the help of his friends. C. Students tended to earn money for college expenses in America. D. Students were encouraged to do part-time jobs in Indian schools. C In the spring of 2012, Premont Independent School District in Premont, Texas, was in trouble. The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs. Yet they still had football, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, cheerleading, and baseball teams. So superintendent (监管人) Emest Singleton made a big decision: He canceled sports. By canceling sports, the district could save $150,000 in one year. In many schools, sports are so popular that no one realizes their actual cost. New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders. For home games, schools often pay for security, painting the lines on the field, and cleaning up. Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night. Fall of 2012 at Premont was extremely quiet. There were no Friday night games to look forward to, no cheerleaders making posters in the hallway. But this quiet had an advantage. That first semester,80 percent of students passed their classes, compared with 50 percent the previous fall. About 160 people attended parent-teacher night, compared with six the year before. Today, Premont has no debt, and the district will stay open. The science labs have even been repaired. This past spring, Premont brought back baseball, track, and tennis, but in a limited way. The district has a lot of work to do before its students can feel the kind of pride in their academics that they once felt in their sports teams. But students have proved their ability to adapt. Will more schools follow Premont’s lead? They should. 46. According to Paragraph 1, Premont Independent School District ________. A. valued music and science B. had to cut costs to stay open C paid little attention to sports D. had good high school graduation rates 47. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Sports cost schools a lot of money. B. Sports are very popular in America. C. American schools think highly of sports. D. Schools should try to cover the cost of sports. 48. What’ can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Many students love playing football. B. Sports help students increase their focus. C. It takes students little effort to play football. D. Sports distract students’ attention from learning. 49. After sports were canceled in Premont, ________. A. a lot of money was saved B. many other schools canceled sports C. half of the students passed their exams D. students found it hard to adapt to the new system 50. What is the author’s attitude toward Premont’s action of canceling sports? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive: D. Disapproving. D Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics (工作狂). What are some characteristics of workaholics? How could a person tell that he/ she is a workaholic? A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they’ re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they’ re up; when work is going less well, they’ re down. Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working — or doing something to promote their work — they feel anxious and guilty. There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit (追求) doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease Besides health problems being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study found that working too much negatively influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising,since if you’re married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything, or anyone, else.There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self. However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self worth and confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a resolution. 51. What can we learn from the text? A. Work has stronger effects on workaholics than on others. B. Hard-working people enjoy bester health than other people do. C. Workaholics work to build better relationships. D. Workaholics care more about their hdalth than others do. 52. When workaholics are not busy working, they ________. A. promote their work B. form a bad habit easily C. feel uneasy and insecure D. have a chance to prove their own value 53. What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A. Bad influences of workaholism. B. Different patterns of workaholics. C. How people deal with their addictions. D. How hard-working people differ from workaholics. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards working hard? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious. 55. What can we do to help a workaholic in life? A. Force him to join family activities. B. Reward him for his hard work. C. Help him find self worth and confidence. D. Try to be understanding and supporting. V.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) I remember him on his first day in the sixth grade. He was the only black face in a sea of white. A few days later, he had yet to connect with anyone. Our teacher asked me to talk to him. So I went over to him and said, “Hi.” He replied, “Hi.” And that was it for day one. The next day, “What’s up?” “Not much.” We added a word or two each day until full sentences were formed, and then a paragraph. Soon we became good friends and our friendship survived new friendships and small arguments. One day, with nothing better to do, we played jokes on each other. When it was my turn, I expressed criticism of his choice of clothing. He was laughing as hard as I was. Strangely enough,I remember so much about that day except in what context (语境) the N-word (rude word for a black person) was used. My purposes were not to wound him obviously. He was my best friend. But the look on his face told me otherwise. It was a few days before we spoke again. Although we insisted we’d be friends forever, I never saw him after high school. It may not have had anything to do with what I said, or it may have had everything. By that point, we weren’t intimate enough for me to ask any more. Several days ago, there was a near race riot (暴动) during a high school basketball game, and angry teenagers shouted several rude words. These words brought back a flood of memories. All I wonder is if these kids will ever feel as bad as I did for using such a rude word. It’s a curse (诅咒) word, but the real curse is on the person who uses it. 56. What does the first paragraph talk about? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 57. What happened to the author’s friend according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 58.

What reminded the author of his unpleasant memories? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 60. What can we learn from the story between the author and his friend? (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假定你是李华，最近你们班进行了一次题为“未来的人工智能”的讨论。请根据以下要点给校英语报投稿，介绍讨论结果，并谈谈你自己的看法。要点如下： *人工智能的优势； *人工智能的劣势； *你的看法。 参考词汇：人工智能 artificial intelligence 注意： *词数不少于100； *题目和开头已给出，不记入总词数； *可适当加入细节，以使内容充实，行文连贯。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Future Recently our class had a heated discussion about the future of artificial intelligence (AI).The results are as follows. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
