If I want something, I go for it. Over the years this 1 has worked well for me and helped me achieve my goals. When I wanted to be on the dance team at school, I learned all the dances and practiced until I could hardly 2 . But this year everything changed. I had set my sights on a summer 3 that I was determined to get at the Water Zone, because the employees there could go on the water rides after their work and get free food at the snack bar. It was the 4 job to have on hot summer vacations. So just as I had achieved every goal in the past, I set out to 5 the job. I was certain that nothing could keep me from my dream job. After my 6 , the manager of the Water Zone told me that he could hire only those with experience in water safety. I felt like a failure. On the last weekend before school ended, my teacher, Mrs. Keller, asked me whether I would be interested in the kids’ summer day camp. I decided that I had nothing to 7 , so I called the manager. She was 8 by my babysitting experience and employed me. In less than a week, I had completely forgotten about wanting work at the water park. Each time I comforted a little boy who missed his mother or a little girl who needed to help tying her shoes, I felt I was doing something 9 . I realized that I had discovered my life’s purpose: to work with children. I now have a new goal. Sometimes in life we don’t get exactly what we want. It’s natural to feel 10 .

Are there any things he misses from his past? “No, I’m much happier now, 12 I am living according to my values. Success 13 (measure) not by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.” 【答案】11．have earned 12．because 13．is measured 【导语】本文是说明文。大多数人相信，当他们生活舒适，赚到足够的钱，他们就不会有烦恼。然而，杰森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式，他认为衡量成功的标准不是你有多少钱，而是你如何理解生命的真正意义。 11．考查时态。句意：然而，大多数人从来没有觉得他们已经挣得足够多。earn是谓语动词，此处表示现在的结果，用现在完成时，主语是复数，故填have earned。 12．考查连词。句意：不，我现在快乐多了，因为我按照自己的价值观生活。根据语境，前后句子是因果关系，故填because。 13．考查时态和语态。句意：衡量成功的标准不是你有多少钱，而是你如何理解生命的真正意义。此处在句中作谓语，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语和动词measure是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动，主语是不可数名词，be动词应用is，故填is measured。 B 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 At 8, I started taking art lessons to improve my painting skills.

So, in the 11th Grade, I returned to the basics. On a sketchbook I forced myself to draw whatever interested me. Over time, I 16 (release) from the tight control. I have learned that a good painting is not about having perfect technique. In fact, all I need to do is to trust my creative talents and find moments of joy in life. 【答案】14．focused/had focused 15．expectations 16．have been released 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者学习绘画的过程，通过该过程作者领悟到好的画作不在于技巧的完美，而在于信任自己的创造力，并在生活中寻找快乐的瞬间。 14．考查动词时态。句意：然而，后来我发现我过于专注于掌握不同的技术。设空处使用动词作谓语，根据前文的found可知，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时，用found，同时也可以表示动作发生在found之前，使用过去完成时，填had focused。故填focused或者had focused。 15．考查名词。句意：最终，当我的期望没有达到时，我变得更加痛苦。设空处使用expect的名词expectation作主语，结合“weren’t”可知，此处表示复数意义。故填expectations。 16．考查动词时态和语态。句意：随着时间的推移，我已经从严密的控制中解脱出来。句中over time为现在完成时时间标志，同时I和release之间是被动关系，故使用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为I，助动词用have。故填have been released。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Sixteen years ago, Jason was a college professor 17 a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune of two million dollars.

But if you do it the right way, you will have a FUN, life-changing and exciting ride! 1. You have PASSION You LOVE photography so much that it's ALL you think about. Your camera is your baby and the only thing you want for Christmas is a new lens! 2. You are WILLING to do the work You are willing to put a minimum of 10-15 hours a week into learning, creating, and building your business. You can build your business while you still keep your day job. 3. You LOVE to learn new things As the owner of a photography business, you need to master a lot more than the camera. You must be willing to learn how to design your blog, run a Facebook page, connect with clients and so much more-it's an entire business and lifestyle to embrace and enjoy. 4. You know your strengths One of the keys to success in the photography industry is to choose a niche, a passion that you combine with photography. If you love dogs, for example, and know everything about them, you might want to consider specializing in dog portraits. If you are the master of cake baking and love decorating cakes, you might want to consider specializing in photographing pastry. The possibilities are endless! 5. Build relationships with clients AND like-minded photographers If you truly want to grow your business, take your time to connect with people. Show your support, write comments, cheer, be positive and say "THANK YOU" when people care about you and take their time to like your work. Be nice and give people a reason to care. 6. Walk through your FEARS The true goal is to ACT, despite the fear you are feeling. Ninety-percent of the time, fear is just thoughts running through your mind, and has nothing to do with reality. YOU deserve the best of the best. Now go for it! 21．If you truly want to grow your business, you are supposed to ________. A．seek support from people around B．form positive connections with people C．give some good reasons for your work D．care more about your clients' new work 22．Which is necessary to build photography business according to the passage?

(如果你真的想发展自己的事业，那就花点时间与人交流。)”可知，如果你真的想发展你的事业，你应该与人们建立积极的联系。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据4. You know your strengths中的“One of the keys to success in the photography industry is to choose a niche, a passion that you combine with photography. (在摄影行业成功的关键之一是选择一个利基，将你的激情与摄影相结合。)”和“If you love dogs, for example, and know everything about them, you might want to consider specializing in dog portraits. If you are the master of cake baking and love decorating cakes, you might want to consider specializing in photographing pastry. The possibilities are endless!(例如，如果你喜欢狗，并了解它们的一切，你可能会考虑专攻狗的肖像。如果你是蛋糕烘焙大师，喜欢装饰蛋糕，你可能想考虑专门拍摄糕点。可能性是无限的!)”可知，建立摄影业务的必要条件是尽量充分利用你的优势。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Taking your photography hobby to a place where you actually make a good living takes a lot of work. (把你的摄影爱好带到一个能让你真正过上好日子的地方需要很多工作。)”和最后一段“Now go for it!(现在开始吧!)”及全文可推断，本文的目的是鼓励人们开始摄影。故选D。 B He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications. ￡5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother. Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth ￡280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”. It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.” In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.” By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.” Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are mode citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.” 24．What did Vijay possess when starting his business? A．£280 million in cash. B．A small drug company. C．The title “Entrepreneur of the Year”. D．Nothing but qualifications and ambition. 25．What is the recipe for Vijay’s success? A．His brother’s financial aid. B．His identity of model citizen. C．The perseverance in his goal. D．Encouraging quotes from mom. 26．Which can probably replace the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A．We share something in common. B．We know each other inside out. C．We count on each other in career. D．We two together create fire and water. 27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．From Penniless to Millionaire B．The Significance of Education C．The Power of Deep Brotherhood D．A Modest Successful Businessman 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了被评为“年度企业家”的Vijay和Bhikhu的成功史，以及成功的秘诀。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句“He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications. ￡5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother, Bhikhu, own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year.(16岁时，他来到英国，带着一些资历，口袋里的￡5，还有一个燃烧的雄心。35年后，51岁的维贾伊和他的兄弟，Bhikhu。拥有一家每年价值2.34亿美元的制药公司)”,以及第三段第二句“‘I had little more than my qualifications and $5,’ says Vijay.‘But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself’(维贾伊说:‘除了我的资历和5美元之外，我一无所有。但与此同时，我有一个巨大的抱负，那就是要成就一番事业。')”可知，创业阶段，他除了资格证书和雄心，什么都没有。故选D项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段的第三句开始“When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up—if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. ‘My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.’（‘当你从零开始，事情不会变得更糟。你只有一条路可走。如果你的胃里有一股渴望成功的欲望，那就是成功。’Vijny说，‘我弟弟和我决心让自己变得更好，而英国是一片充满机遇的土地。’)”可知，Vijny对目标的执着是他的成功的秘诀。故选C项。 26．词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.(我们在同一个屋檐下长大，彼此了解)”，from A to Z意为“彻底地；从头至尾”。A项“We share something in common.(我们有共同之处)”；B项“We know each other inside out.(我们互相了解得很透彻)”；C项“We count on each other in career.(我们在事业上互相依靠)”；D项“We two together create fire and water.(我们简直是水火不容)”。B项与该句语意相近，故选B项。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍了把手起家的Vijay凭借雄心壮志，打拼到拥有一家每年营业额过亿美元的制药公司的经历。故From Penniless to Millionaire(从一文不名到百万富翁)，符合题意。故选A项。C Harvard’s Pre-College Program is an intensive two-week summer program designed to give you a glimpse of college life.

In China, the spotlight (聚光灯) has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she gets where she is by herself. There are always articles that say people born into wealthy families are better⁃looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. Are you a loser if you are raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty at sleeping for eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps for five hours? If you just want to keep a stable nine⁃to⁃five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? What if you don’t work out or eat healthily? Does that mean you will not find your Mr or Miss Right? There is a tendency in the media nowadays to encourage elitism (精英主义). They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should put a huge amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement (提升) so as to improve the quality of their life and join the elite. But what’s the disadvantage of being of average quality? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac (狂人)? Do you really need to break your neck to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to be accepted into high society later? Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to live the life they want. Human beings should not be judged a success or failure on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it. 31．What does Paragraph 1 serve as? A．A lead⁃in. B．A background. C．An argument. D．A summary. 32．What does the underlined phrase “would kill for” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Feel dissatisfied with. B．Show a strong dislike for. C．Have a burning desire for. D．Attempt to escape from. 33．What’s the author’s attitude towards an ordinary office worker? A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Indifferent. D．Supportive. 34．What is the message mainly conveyed in the story? A．Follow your own path and let people talk. B．Every man is the architect of his own fortune. C．Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. D．He who does not advance loses his advantage. 【答案】31．A 32．C 33．D 34．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章主要针对人们需不需要过精英生活进行讨论，最后作者呼吁人们不要被精英主义的想法影响。 31．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了我们需不需要过精英生活。根据第一段“Ever since Donald Trump was elected president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under the microscope. In China, the spotlight (聚光灯) has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for . Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she gets where she is by herself. ”（自从唐纳德·特朗普当选美国总统以来，整个特朗普家族都受到了密切关注。在中国，聚光灯主要集中在特朗普和他的女儿伊万卡身上。微信上将伊万卡描述为一位极具影响力的榜样，拥有惊人的美貌、成功的事业和幸福的家庭。她过着百万女孩梦寐以求的梦想生活。是的，她含着金汤匙出生。但她靠自己取得了今天的成就。）可知，这是一个事例，用于引入主题，故选A。 32．词句猜测题。由画线短语上文和所在句子“In China, the spotlight (聚光灯) has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. ”（在中国，聚光灯主要集中在特朗普和他的女儿伊万卡身上。微信上将伊万卡描述为一位极具影响力的榜样，拥有惊人的美貌、成功的事业和幸福的家庭。她过着百万女孩 would kill for的梦想生活。）可知，在微信上，伊万卡被描述为一个极具影响力的榜样,有着惊人的美貌，成功的事业和幸福的家庭，这是很多女孩梦寐以求的生活。由此推断下一句表示“她过着数百万女孩梦寐以求的理想生活”。因此推测出would kill for意为“愿不惜一切得到……；极想要……”，和C选项“强烈地渴望”同义，故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第三句“But what’s the disadvantage of being of average quality?”（但素质一般有什么坏处呢？）可知，作者认为普通人的生活并没有什么不好，所以作者对普通人的生活持支持的态度，故选D。 34．主旨大意题。通过文中的论述，尤其是最后一段中作者表达的观点“Choose your own life path and go for it.”（选择自己的人生道路并为之努力）可知，作者建议人们选择自己的道路，不要受他人影响，A选项“走自己的路，让别人去说吧”符合题意，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold. 35 Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets. Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers. 36 However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems. 37 There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love. There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us. 38 Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you. 39 And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself. Embrace love for you then. Share it with the world. It is a treasure that does not decay or disappear. It is a treasure that lasts forever. A．While our lives may not be perfect, we are happy. B．You just need to open the chest and spend it like crazy. C．It doesn’t necessarily mean we need to dig holes to find treasure. D．Maybe the real problem is that we are all looking for the wrong treasure. E．It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years. F．Treasure is usually defined as gathered wealth in the form of money or jewels. G．Perhaps we all just think that having a lot of money will solve all of our problems. 【答案】35．E 36．G 37．D 38．A 39．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了人们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题，所以将金钱作为追寻的宝藏。但作者认为真正的宝藏是内心的爱。 35．根据上文“The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold.(今天早上电视播放了一些新的冒险电影，是关于寻找装满金子的宝船的)”以及下文“Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. (大多数主角都梦想一夜成为百万富翁)”可知，本句应承上启下，说明这部电影带给作者的感受：让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影。故E选项“它让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影”符合语境，故选E。 36．根据上文“Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers.(这种寻宝的欲望从何而来？我知道我自己也有罪。小时候，我常在树林里散步，幻想着在那里找到埋藏的宝藏。成年后，我会幻想某个不知名的亲戚给我留下一笔财富，或者我自己出版的两本书成为畅销书)”以及后文“However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.(然而，当我在电视上看到所有的富人和名人时，我可以看到他们并不那么快乐，他们有自己独特的问题)”可知，后文提到富人和名人也有自己的问题，说明钱并不能解决所有问题，本句与后文构成转折，故G选项“也许我们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题”符合语境，故选G。 37．根据后文“There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love.(真的有一个真正的宝藏在那里，它会让我们的生活变得更好，最令人惊讶的是，这个宝藏是绝对免费的。这个宝藏就是爱)”可知，后文提到了真正的宝藏是爱，说明上文提到的将金钱作为宝藏是错误的，故D选项“也许真正的问题是我们都在寻找错误的宝藏”符合语境，故选D。 38．根据上文“There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us.(我们周围有太多的爱，当我们邀请爱进入我们的心和生活，我们变得丰富，我们的日子充满了微笑，我们的生活充满了欢乐。当我们心中有爱时，生活中的问题就会失去对我们的影响)”可知，上文提到生活中存在问题，即并不完美，但爱可以让人很幸福。故A选项“虽然我们的生活可能不完美，但我们很幸福”符合语境，故选A。 39．根据上文“Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you.(那我们怎么找宝藏呢？真正的生命宝藏已经在你体内)”以及后文“And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself.(有趣的是，你和别人分享的越多，你自己也会拥有越多)”可知，上文提到生命宝藏已经存在体内，后文提到和别人分享，即要打开心扉和他人共享宝藏。故B选项“你只需要打开心扉，疯狂地分享它”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节, 32分) 第一节(共4小题; 第40、41题各2分, 第42题3分, 第43题5分, 共12分) 阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve. As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures. During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence. My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab. My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist. 40．In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan? 41．What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. 43．From this story, what can you learn about “independence”? (In about 40 words) 【答案】40．The need to be recognized as an independent scientist. 41．The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training. 42．The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success. 43．In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning than to seek help. (答案言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在追求科学研究的独立过程中遇到的挑战、失败、学习和成长的故事。 40．考查细节理解。根据第二段“As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. (当我开始设计实验时，我的委员会成员警告我，我将面临的挑战。但是我对独立的需求驱使我推进我的研究计划)”可知，一开始，是作者对独立的需求驱使作者推进这个研究计划。故答案为：The need to be recognized as an independent scientist. 41．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. (我的导师和我想出了一个有点不同寻常的解决方案：我将在一个合作实验室里待上三个月，接受专门培训)”可知，在反复的失败之后，导师和作者的解决方案是，作者将花三个月的时间在合作实验室接受专门培训。故答案为：The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training. 42．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data.(我的导师认为这段经历是一次开创性的成功，强调了我获得的合作技能。几个月后，当我在家里的实验室里重复这个实验时，我得到了更多可发表的数据)”可知，导师认为作者在实验室的经历是一次开创性的成功，这是因为作者通过与他人合作获得了合作技能，而不是因为产生了可发表的数据。故答案：The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success. 43．开放性问题。答案言之有理即可。通读全文可知，作者成为一名独立科学家的成功最终是通过合作、适应性学习和面对挫折的韧性来实现的。从这个故事中，我们了解到，虽然独立最初是理想化的，并被热情地追求，但真正的独立往往包括认识到合作的价值，并学会何时寻求帮助。故答案为：In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning when to seek help. 第二节(20分) 44.假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。本学期你选择了一门艺术选修课。你的英国好友Jim对此很感兴趣，来信了解你上课的具体情形。请你给他回信，内容包括： 1. 你所选课的名称和主要内容； 2. 你的学习收获。 提示词：选修课 optional course 注意：1. 词数不少于60；2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m really excited to share my experience in the optional art course this term.

If I want something, I go for it. Over the years this 1 has worked well for me and helped me achieve my goals. When I wanted to be on the dance team at school, I learned all the dances and practiced until I could hardly 2 . But this year everything changed. I had set my sights on a summer 3 that I was determined to get at the Water Zone, because the employees there could go on the water rides after their work and get free food at the snack bar. It was the 4 job to have on hot summer vacations. So just as I had achieved every goal in the past, I set out to 5 the job. I was certain that nothing could keep me from my dream job. After my 6 , the manager of the Water Zone told me that he could hire only those with experience in water safety. I felt like a failure. On the last weekend before school ended, my teacher, Mrs. Keller, asked me whether I would be interested in the kids’ summer day camp. I decided that I had nothing to 7 , so I called the manager. She was 8 by my babysitting experience and employed me. In less than a week, I had completely forgotten about wanting work at the water park. Each time I comforted a little boy who missed his mother or a little girl who needed to help tying her shoes, I felt I was doing something 9 . I realized that I had discovered my life’s purpose: to work with children. I now have a new goal. Sometimes in life we don’t get exactly what we want. It’s natural to feel 10 . But, occasionally, when we don’t get what we want, something even better is waiting for us around the corner! 1．A．method B．attitude C．position D．comment 2．A．smile B．speak C．think D．move 3．A．day B．course C．job D．camp 4．A．perfect B．tough C．regular D．potential 5．A．land B．quit C．change D．keep 6．A．practice B．interview C．expectation D．experiment 7．A．save B．learn C．lose D．regret 8．A．inspired B．impressed C．touched D．puzzled 9．A．challenging B．reasonable C．traditional D．significant 10．A．curious B．nervous C．disappointed D．interested 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分) A 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Most people believe when they live comfortably and earn enough money, they will have worries.

But if you do it the right way, you will have a FUN, life-changing and exciting ride! 1. You have PASSION You LOVE photography so much that it's ALL you think about. Your camera is your baby and the only thing you want for Christmas is a new lens! 2. You are WILLING to do the work You are willing to put a minimum of 10-15 hours a week into learning, creating, and building your business. You can build your business while you still keep your day job. 3. You LOVE to learn new things As the owner of a photography business, you need to master a lot more than the camera. You must be willing to learn how to design your blog, run a Facebook page, connect with clients and so much more-it's an entire business and lifestyle to embrace and enjoy. 4. You know your strengths One of the keys to success in the photography industry is to choose a niche, a passion that you combine with photography. If you love dogs, for example, and know everything about them, you might want to consider specializing in dog portraits. If you are the master of cake baking and love decorating cakes, you might want to consider specializing in photographing pastry. The possibilities are endless! 5. Build relationships with clients AND like-minded photographers If you truly want to grow your business, take your time to connect with people. Show your support, write comments, cheer, be positive and say "THANK YOU" when people care about you and take their time to like your work. Be nice and give people a reason to care. 6. Walk through your FEARS The true goal is to ACT, despite the fear you are feeling. Ninety-percent of the time, fear is just thoughts running through your mind, and has nothing to do with reality. YOU deserve the best of the best. Now go for it! 21．If you truly want to grow your business, you are supposed to ________. A．seek support from people around B．form positive connections with people C．give some good reasons for your work D．care more about your clients' new work 22．Which is necessary to build photography business according to the passage? A．Spend your major time taking photos. B．Make photography your full-time job. C．Try to make full use of your advantages. D．Get a lesson from your fearful experience. 23．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To provide information for business starters. B．To analyze the advantages of photographing. C．To show the basic qualities of a photographer. D．To encourage people to take up photographing. B He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications. ￡5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother. Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth ￡280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”. It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.” In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.” By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.” Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are mode citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.” 24．What did Vijay possess when starting his business? A．£280 million in cash. B．A small drug company. C．The title “Entrepreneur of the Year”. D．Nothing but qualifications and ambition. 25．What is the recipe for Vijay’s success? A．His brother’s financial aid. B．His identity of model citizen. C．The perseverance in his goal. D．Encouraging quotes from mom. 26．Which can probably replace the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A．We share something in common. B．We know each other inside out. C．We count on each other in career. D．We two together create fire and water. 27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．From Penniless to Millionaire B．The Significance of Education C．The Power of Deep Brotherhood D．A Modest Successful Businessman C Harvard’s Pre-College Program is an intensive two-week summer program designed to give you a glimpse of college life.

D．To share an amazing experience on the Harvard campus. D Ever since Donald Trump was elected president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under the microscope. In China, the spotlight (聚光灯) has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she gets where she is by herself. There are always articles that say people born into wealthy families are better⁃looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. Are you a loser if you are raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty at sleeping for eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps for five hours? If you just want to keep a stable nine⁃to⁃five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? What if you don’t work out or eat healthily? Does that mean you will not find your Mr or Miss Right? There is a tendency in the media nowadays to encourage elitism (精英主义). They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should put a huge amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement (提升) so as to improve the quality of their life and join the elite. But what’s the disadvantage of being of average quality? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac (狂人)? Do you really need to break your neck to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to be accepted into high society later? Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to live the life they want. Human beings should not be judged a success or failure on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it. 31．What does Paragraph 1 serve as? A．A lead⁃in.

C．Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. D．He who does not advance loses his advantage. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold. 35 Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets. Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers. 36 However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems. 37 There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love. There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us. 38 Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you. 39 And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself. Embrace love for you then. Share it with the world. It is a treasure that does not decay or disappear. It is a treasure that lasts forever. A．While our lives may not be perfect, we are happy. B．You just need to open the chest and spend it like crazy. C．It doesn’t necessarily mean we need to dig holes to find treasure. D．Maybe the real problem is that we are all looking for the wrong treasure. E．It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years. F．Treasure is usually defined as gathered wealth in the form of money or jewels. G．Perhaps we all just think that having a lot of money will solve all of our problems. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节, 32分) 第一节(共4小题; 第40、41题各2分, 第42题3分, 第43题5分, 共12分) 阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve. As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures. During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence. My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab. My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist. 40．In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan? 41．What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. 43．From this story, what can you learn about “independence”?

But if you do it the right way, you will have a FUN, life-changing and exciting ride! 1. You have PASSION You LOVE photography so much that it's ALL you think about. Your camera is your baby and the only thing you want for Christmas is a new lens! 2. You are WILLING to do the work You are willing to put a minimum of 10-15 hours a week into learning, creating, and building your business. You can build your business while you still keep your day job. 3. You LOVE to learn new things As the owner of a photography business, you need to master a lot more than the camera. You must be willing to learn how to design your blog, run a Facebook page, connect with clients and so much more-it's an entire business and lifestyle to embrace and enjoy. 4. You know your strengths One of the keys to success in the photography industry is to choose a niche, a passion that you combine with photography. If you love dogs, for example, and know everything about them, you might want to consider specializing in dog portraits. If you are the master of cake baking and love decorating cakes, you might want to consider specializing in photographing pastry. The possibilities are endless! 5. Build relationships with clients AND like-minded photographers If you truly want to grow your business, take your time to connect with people. Show your support, write comments, cheer, be positive and say "THANK YOU" when people care about you and take their time to like your work. Be nice and give people a reason to care. 6. Walk through your FEARS The true goal is to ACT, despite the fear you are feeling. Ninety-percent of the time, fear is just thoughts running through your mind, and has nothing to do with reality. YOU deserve the best of the best. Now go for it! 21．If you truly want to grow your business, you are supposed to ________.

Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother. Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth ￡280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”. It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.” In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.” By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.” Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are mode citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.” 24．What did Vijay possess when starting his business?
