Ⅰ.阅读理解
An inspirational poem written by a 16yearold girl,Chanie Gorkin,went viral this week.The poem titled “Worst Day Ever?” was printed on a board in a North London bar when someone took a picture and posted it on Twitter.
“The coverage(新闻报道)has been overwhelming since then,” says Chanie's mother,Dena Gorkin,noting that her daughter is not the one looking for such attention.“But she is happy to have inspired so many people.”
For Chanie,an 11thgrade student at Beth Rivkah High School in Brooklyn,N.Y.,the story began in November when a teacher assigned her to write an essay on the theme of “Worst Day Ever”.Chanie had been writing creatively for a few years,so she turned the assignment over literally and wrote a poem that could be read forward,but its true message could be revealed only when read backward:
Worst Day Ever?
Today was the absolutely worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because,when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
...
Today was a very good day
A few days later,Dena,herself a principal at the Bnos Chomesh Girls High School in Crown Heights,shared her daughter's poem with a student who was having a bad day.“My student read it and was blown away,” she relates.“I was relieved to see him leave happily.”
“I think Chanie's poem has become popular because there's some darkness in this world,and something uplifting like this really resonates (产生共鸣),” says her mother.“Words from the heart enter the heart.I think Chanie's sincerity can be felt in her words.”

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了英国“丝路花园”的整体设计以及其中新建成的玻璃温室。
1.engineering 考查非谓语动词。空处修饰空后的名词techniques,在句中作定语,说明名词的作用。此处表示“最新的工程技术”。故填engineering。
2.functional 考查形容词。句意:最新的工程技术被应用于创建这种兼具保护性和功能性且还美观的结构。空处与 protective 并列,修饰空后的名词structure,应用形容词形式,故填functional。
3.to give 考查非谓语动词。句意:在温暖的日子里,这些萼片会打开以给内部植物(提供)阳光和新鲜空气。空处所在句的谓语动词是 open,空处应用非谓语动词。根据语境可知此处表示目的,故填to give。
4.closed 考查形容词。空前的stays 作系动词,表示“保持”,空处作表语,表示“关闭的”,故填closed。
5.walks 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语。本句描述了 the Silk Route Garden 的客观情况,时态用一般现在时;此处时态也可以根据下文中的“contains...guides...offers”判断;walk 在此作动词,表示“(循序渐进地)教,逐步引导”,与主语 the Silk Route Garden 之间为主动关系;主语表示第三人称单数。故填walks。
6.the 考查冠词。此处考查固定表达for the first time,意为“第一次”,故填the。
7.favourites 考查名词的数。分析句子结构可知,空处作动词included 的宾语,前面的 modern Western 为定语,所以此处应填名词;根据空后的举例“such as rosemary,lavender and fennel”可知,空处表示复数概念。favourite在此处为可数名词,表示“特别喜爱的事物”。故填favourites。
8.as 考查介词。结合语境“该玻璃温室作为当代设计的伟大成就而存在”可知,空处需填as。故填as。
9.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为表示物的名词短语 the Silk Route,关系词在从句中作主语,故填 that/which。
10.richness 考查名词。空处跟在定冠词 the 之后,且空后的 of gardening对空处进行限定,故填名词richness。
Ⅲ.写作
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank,he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped and asked,“It looks like you've got a problem,” Arthur said.
“I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked.The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said,“Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble,you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground,he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking,he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank.There had been a robbery(抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other,“What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur,still carrying the suitcase,turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised.“Why is she looking at me like that?” He thought.“The suitcase! She thinks I'm the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people.He became frightened,and without another thought,he started to run.
As he was running,Arthur heard the young man shouting behind,“Stop,stop!”
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station and Arthur
One possible version:
As he was running,Arthur heard the young man shouting behind,“Stop,stop!” Arthur immediately realized that the young man was the bank robber.So Arthur didn't stop,but continued to run until he saw and caught a taxi in front of him.He quickly put the suitcase in the car and said to the driver,“Please hurry to the Police Station.I have a case to report to the police: the man shouting behind is the bank thief!” The taxi raced away to the Police Station like an arrow.
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station and Arthur said to the police who had been waiting and who had already received the robbery report,“This suitcase is that of the bank robber.He may be fleeing with the money stolen from the bank.I hand it to you.Please get ready to arrest the man.”
