Is all winning success (成功)? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, most people hope to win. We cheer for winners. We have become so focused (关注) on that end result (结果) instead of the process (过程), and when it is a win, we usually didn’t care how we got there. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing winners in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to try best to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole persons, not just players who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to change. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the duty to develop winners in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 33．The writer introduced the topic by ______. A．asking a question B．showing some examples C．listing a few numbers D．comparing two different things 34．The underlined word “it” in the Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) ________. A．the process B．the end result C．the winner D．the real success 35．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life? A．A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B．A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C．A coach who supports his members though the team didn’t win. D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 36．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】33．A 34．B 35．C 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们太专注取得胜利的结果而不是过程，作者讲述自己做教练的经历，认为激励人更重要。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段“I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来引入主题。故选A。 34．词义猜测题。根据“We have become so focused (关注) on that end result (结果) instead of the process (过程), and when it is a win, we usually didn’t care how we got there.”可知，it指代的是end result“最后的结果”。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据“I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole persons, not just players who won.”可知，我意识到我需要支持我们的学生运动员，不仅仅是在他们取得胜利的时候，即使没有取得胜利也要尊重他们。故选C。 36．篇章结构题。第一，二段提出问题，胜利是成功吗？第三，四和五段用作者的亲身经历重新定义成功。第六段总结，激励人更重要。故选C。 D Jan lies in bed, looking at the photos on her phone.

She looks at the alarm clock. It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He’s shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside. Jan gets dressed, puts on her coat and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake up Tom’s parents.

Thanks. You’re a real friend.” “Bye, Jan. Look for me in the future. Promise?” “I promise.” Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches him disappear (消失) into the trees. A sudden flash (闪光) of lightning illuminates (照射) the scene (场景) followed by a loud crash of thunder. Jan looks around and sees her house.

I want to give you something from the time capsule”和“ A sudden flash (闪光) of lightning illuminates (照射) the scene (场景) followed by a loud crash of thunder.

I’ve closed the caves with big metal doors and three locks.” Tom turned as white as a piece of paper. “Oh, Judge, Indian Joe’s in the caves!” As a result, Indian Joe lay dead on the floor. Tom finally felt safe. The next day Tom and Huck talked about the money they had seen. Huck said someone else must have taken it from Indian Joe’s room in the tavern. “Huck, I bet the money’s in the caves! Will you go there with me and get it out?” “I will if we get in and don’t get lost.” “That’s no problem. Just through the entrance that only I know about, we can get into the caves.” So boys started their treasure hunt adventure. They went down the river, entered the secret hole and crawled to the far end of the tunnel. They tied their string to a rock and moved on. They soon got to the place where Tom saw Indian Joe that night. The boys went carefully over to the place. They found a small bed of blankets by a large rock but there was no money-box. “Look, Huck.

You will get to know the family by reading stories of their d 73 life. Each chapter seems to set up a moral (道德) lesson for the reader to l 74 . We also meet a wonderful set of neighbors, Mr. Laurence and his nephew Laurie who quickly finds a place as part of the March family. The s 75 half of the novel focuses on the girls as they leave their childhood and b 76 their journey into adult life. Lessons of f 77 , family, and love are covered as we join the characters through the ups and downs of life, good times and bad ones. It seems that Louisa May Alcott uses her own family as the basis for the stories in Little Women, basing the character Jo on h 78 . It is amazing that though the book was written in the late 1800s, many things about humans remain the s 79 . The bases of life that are important in friendship, family and love don’t c 80 through time, as Alcott has shared with us. This is a book that young and old can read and enjoy. 【答案】71．(t)akes 72．(E)ach/(E)very 73．(d)aily 74．(l)earn 75．(s)econd 76．(b)egin 77．(f)riendship 78．(h)erself 79．(s)ame 80．(c)hange 【导语】本文主要介绍了《小妇人》这本小说的内容，认为这是一本年轻人和老年人都可以阅读的书。 71．句意：小说的前半部分发生在他们的父亲在战争中服役期间。根据首字母t及后面的名词“place”可知，此处应为take place，表示“发生”；下文描述小说内容时用一般现在时，所以此处也要用一般现在时；又因为主语“The first half of the novel”为单数，动词应用其第三人称单数形式。故填(t)akes。 72．句意：每个姐妹都有自己独特的个性：读者、艺术家、音乐家和安静的姐妹。后面名词“sister”是单数，再结合首字母E可知，此处应表示“每个”。故填(E)ach/(E)very。 73．句意：你将通过阅读他们的日常生活故事来了解这个家庭。根据首字母d及后面的名词“life”可知，此处应表达“日常生活”；daily作形容词，意为“日常的”。故填(d)aily。 74．句意：每一章似乎都为读者提供了一堂道德课。根据“a moral (道德) lesson”可知，此处应表达“学习”；结合首字母l可知，应填动词learn。故填(l)earn。 75．句意：小说的后半部分聚焦于女孩们离开他们的童年，开始她们的成年之旅。根据上文中“The first half of the novel...”及首字母s可知，此处应填second，表示“后半部分”。故填(s)econd。 76．句意：小说的后半部分聚焦于女孩们离开他们的童年，开始她们的成年之旅。根据“leave their childhood”及“their journey”可知，此处应表达“开始”；再根据首字母b可知，应填动词begin；前面“leave”是一般现在时，因此begin填原形即可。故填(b)egin。 77．句意：当我们与人物一起经历人生的起起落落、美好的时光和糟糕的时光时，友谊、家庭和爱情的课程都被涵盖在内。根据下文中“The bases of life that are important in friendship, family and love don’t...”可知，此处表达“友谊”。故填(f)riendship。 78．句意：在《小妇人》中路易莎·梅·奥尔科特似乎以自己的家庭为故事基础，以她自己为原型塑造了乔这个人物。根据“Louisa May Alcott uses her own family as the basis for the stories in Little Women”可知，此处应是“以她自己为原型”；herself表示“她自己”。故填(h)erself。 79．句意：令人惊讶的是，尽管这本书是在19世纪末写的，但关于人类的许多事情都是一样的。根据上文可知，读者能从《小妇人》这本小说中学到很多，虽然这本书写于19世纪，但与现在很多事情是一样的；再结合首字母s可知，应填形容词same，表示“一样的”。故填(s)ame。 80．句意：正如奥尔科特与我们分享的那样，在友谊、家庭和爱情中重要的生活基础不会随着时间的推移而改变。结合上文及首字母c可知，此处应表达“不会随着时间的推移而改变”；change作动词，意为“改变”，且前面有助动词don’t，填原形即可。故填(c)hange。 九．书面表达（15分） 假设你是刘涛，学校举行“最佳好少年”选拔大赛，你班推选优秀学生代表 Mike参赛，请你为他写一封80词左右的推荐信。内容要点如下： 最佳好少年：Mike 1.

D．The writer and his friends ate a lot because they were hungry after they came back from the Great Wall. B Ken and Anthony were childhood friends. They went to primary and high school together. They went to college in different states, and then they lost touch (失去联系) . One morning Ken was reading the newspaper with his morning coffee. Inside he saw a notice for a poetry reading (诗歌朗诵会) at a nearby bookstore. He was surprised to find that the poet looks exactly like his friend Anthony. Ken decided to see his old friend. Ken sat in the last row of the area inside the bookstore. When he met Anthony, he hardly recognize (认出) him. Anthony was almost bald (秃头) and had a little potbelly (大肚皮) . When Anthony was in high school, he was very handsome. What Anthony lost in looks was made up for in talent (才能). Anthony’s poetry was quite good. Anthony recognized Ken sitting in the back row. When the reading was over, Ken stood in line with the others waiting for Anthony to sign a copy of his book. When it was Ken’s turn, Anthony stood up and hugged his long lost friend. Anthony invited Ken to stay until he finished signing books. Ken did, and the two men had a cup of coffee at a nearby cafe. They haven’t met each other for a long time, but they found they still have many topics to talk. Both men married American women. Both men had sons in the same year. Ken and Anthony decided not to lose touch again. They planned to meet once a month for breakfast on Saturdays. 29．Ken found his long lost friend from the _________. A．radio B．TV C．magazine D．newspaper 30．How might Ken feel while seeing Anthony at the bookstore? A．Afraid. B．Surprised. C．Worried. D．Angry. 31．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Anthony put on weight, but he became smart and talented. B．Anthony changed a lot because writing poetry is very hard. C．Anthony was bald and a little fat, but he was still very handsome. D．Anthony looked wise because he was bald and had a little potbelly. 32．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Changes of friends B．Importance of friends C．Childhood friends D．Ways to get friends back C I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success (成功)? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, most people hope to win. We cheer for winners. We have become so focused (关注) on that end result (结果) instead of the process (过程), and when it is a win, we usually didn’t care how we got there. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing winners in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to try best to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole persons, not just players who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to change. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the duty to develop winners in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 33．The writer introduced the topic by ______. A．asking a question B．showing some examples C．listing a few numbers D．comparing two different things 34．The underlined word “it” in the Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) ________. A．the process B．the end result C．the winner D．the real success 35．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life? A．A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B．A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C．A coach who supports his members though the team didn’t win. D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 36．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． D Jan lies in bed, looking at the photos on her phone. She looks for a long time at the picture of her parents and then smiles when she sees the photo of Tom in the living room. Then she goes to sleep. A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. She looks at the alarm clock. It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He’s shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside. Jan gets dressed, puts on her coat and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake up Tom’s parents. She meets Tom outside. “What are you doing, Tom?” “The storm,” he says. “it’s the same storm as Thursday night. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!” Jan follows Tom down the road, then she remembers something. “The time capsule (胶囊)!” Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.” They walk quickly back down the road past Jamie’s house and Pauly’s house. It seems so long since she arrived here in the past. And now maybe there’s the possibility that she can return to the future. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the place with the apple tree. “Now what do we do?” asks Jan.” I put the time capsule back where I found it and …”“And I go home.” “Yes.” Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries (埋) the time capsule and then stands up. Jan suddenly realizes something. “Tom! I want to give you something from the time capsule.” “I don’t want anything. It’s more important for you to go home.” Jan feels sad that Tom doesn’t want something to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home. “I’m never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You’re a real friend.” “Bye, Jan. Look for me in the future. Promise?” “I promise.” Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches him disappear (消失) into the trees. A sudden flash (闪光) of lightning illuminates (照射) the scene (场景) followed by a loud crash of thunder. Jan looks around and sees her house. She’s back in the garden of her house in Hampton Street.                                                         From The Time Capsule 37．When can Jan go back to her own house? A．During a storm. B．In the morning. C．At night. D．On Thursday. 38．What might be the correct order of what happened in the story? a. They walk along the road past their friends’ houses. b. Jan comes back in the garden of her home by the time capsule. c. Tom hits the window and tells Jan to come outside. d. Jan wants to send Tom something important to remember her. A．a-c-d-b. B．c-a-d-b. C．b-a-c-d. D．d-c-a-b. 39．What is Tom like according to the story? A．Honest. B．Polite. C．Generous. D．Helpful. 40．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Jan misses her family very much.

I’ve closed the caves with big metal doors and three locks.” Tom turned as white as a piece of paper. “Oh, Judge, Indian Joe’s in the caves!” As a result, Indian Joe lay dead on the floor. Tom finally felt safe. The next day Tom and Huck talked about the money they had seen. Huck said someone else must have taken it from Indian Joe’s room in the tavern. “Huck, I bet the money’s in the caves! Will you go there with me and get it out?” “I will if we get in and don’t get lost.” “That’s no problem. Just through the entrance that only I know about, we can get into the caves.” So boys started their treasure hunt adventure. They went down the river, entered the secret hole and crawled to the far end of the tunnel. They tied their string to a rock and moved on. They soon got to the place where Tom saw Indian Joe that night. The boys went carefully over to the place. They found a small bed of blankets by a large rock but there was no money-box. “Look, Huck. There’re footprints and some candle wax on this side of the rock, but not on the other sides. I’m sure the money is under the rock.

August 3rd, Saturday Cool Today it was cool. We went to the Great Wall. It was very long and great. We were very tired and hungry in the evening. We ate a lot for dinner. I ate a large bowl of noodles, chicken, broccoli, and ice cream. The food was delicious. August 4th, Sunday Rainy It was rainy today, so we stayed in the camp. I wrote letters to my family and friends. At noon we each ate a hamburger and some salad for lunch. After lunch, we watched an action movie. It was exciting. 26．Where did the writer and his friends travel? A．In Tianjin. B．In Nanjing. C．In Beijing D．In Shanghai. 27．What did the writer have for lunch on Sunday? A．He ate some bread.

D．The writer and his friends ate a lot because they were hungry after they came back from the Great Wall. B Ken and Anthony were childhood friends. They went to primary and high school together. They went to college in different states, and then they lost touch (失去联系) . One morning Ken was reading the newspaper with his morning coffee. Inside he saw a notice for a poetry reading (诗歌朗诵会) at a nearby bookstore. He was surprised to find that the poet looks exactly like his friend Anthony. Ken decided to see his old friend. Ken sat in the last row of the area inside the bookstore. When he met Anthony, he hardly recognize (认出) him. Anthony was almost bald (秃头) and had a little potbelly (大肚皮) . When Anthony was in high school, he was very handsome. What Anthony lost in looks was made up for in talent (才能). Anthony’s poetry was quite good. Anthony recognized Ken sitting in the back row. When the reading was over, Ken stood in line with the others waiting for Anthony to sign a copy of his book. When it was Ken’s turn, Anthony stood up and hugged his long lost friend. Anthony invited Ken to stay until he finished signing books. Ken did, and the two men had a cup of coffee at a nearby cafe. They haven’t met each other for a long time, but they found they still have many topics to talk. Both men married American women. Both men had sons in the same year. Ken and Anthony decided not to lose touch again. They planned to meet once a month for breakfast on Saturdays. 29．Ken found his long lost friend from the _________. A．radio B．TV C．magazine D．newspaper 30．How might Ken feel while seeing Anthony at the bookstore? A．Afraid. B．Surprised. C．Worried. D．Angry. 31．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Anthony put on weight, but he became smart and talented. B．Anthony changed a lot because writing poetry is very hard. C．Anthony was bald and a little fat, but he was still very handsome. D．Anthony looked wise because he was bald and had a little potbelly. 32．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Changes of friends B．Importance of friends C．Childhood friends D．Ways to get friends back C I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success (成功)? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, most people hope to win. We cheer for winners. We have become so focused (关注) on that end result (结果) instead of the process (过程), and when it is a win, we usually didn’t care how we got there. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing winners in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to try best to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole persons, not just players who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to change. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the duty to develop winners in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 33．The writer introduced the topic by ______. A．asking a question B．showing some examples C．listing a few numbers D．comparing two different things 34．The underlined word “it” in the Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) ________. A．the process B．the end result C．the winner D．the real success 35．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life? A．A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B．A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C．A coach who supports his members though the team didn’t win. D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 36．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． D Jan lies in bed, looking at the photos on her phone. She looks for a long time at the picture of her parents and then smiles when she sees the photo of Tom in the living room. Then she goes to sleep. A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. She looks at the alarm clock. It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He’s shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside. Jan gets dressed, puts on her coat and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake up Tom’s parents. She meets Tom outside. “What are you doing, Tom?” “The storm,” he says. “it’s the same storm as Thursday night. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!” Jan follows Tom down the road, then she remembers something. “The time capsule (胶囊)!” Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.” They walk quickly back down the road past Jamie’s house and Pauly’s house. It seems so long since she arrived here in the past. And now maybe there’s the possibility that she can return to the future. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the place with the apple tree. “Now what do we do?” asks Jan.” I put the time capsule back where I found it and …”“And I go home.” “Yes.” Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries (埋) the time capsule and then stands up. Jan suddenly realizes something. “Tom! I want to give you something from the time capsule.” “I don’t want anything. It’s more important for you to go home.” Jan feels sad that Tom doesn’t want something to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home. “I’m never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You’re a real friend.” “Bye, Jan. Look for me in the future. Promise?” “I promise.” Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches him disappear (消失) into the trees. A sudden flash (闪光) of lightning illuminates (照射) the scene (场景) followed by a loud crash of thunder. Jan looks around and sees her house. She’s back in the garden of her house in Hampton Street.                                                         From The Time Capsule 37．When can Jan go back to her own house? A．During a storm. B．In the morning. C．At night. D．On Thursday. 38．What might be the correct order of what happened in the story? a. They walk along the road past their friends’ houses. b. Jan comes back in the garden of her home by the time capsule. c. Tom hits the window and tells Jan to come outside. d. Jan wants to send Tom something important to remember her. A．a-c-d-b. B．c-a-d-b. C．b-a-c-d. D．d-c-a-b. 39．What is Tom like according to the story? A．Honest. B．Polite. C．Generous. D．Helpful. 40．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Jan misses her family very much. B．Jan is afraid of Tom’s parents. C．Tom doesn’t want to meet Jan in the future. D．Tom and Jan often play with Jamie and Pauly. 四、填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） A.根据句意及所给提示写出单词的适当形式，使句子意思完整正确。 41.First, g_________ the two pieces of cardboard together. 42.If our work is c_____________, we'll have a party to celebrate. 43.The books on those s____________ are about Chinese history. 44.Mr Smith f___________ the map up and put it in his pocket. 45.Look!

I’ve closed the caves with big metal doors and three locks.” Tom turned as white as a piece of paper. “Oh, Judge, Indian Joe’s in the caves!” As a result, Indian Joe lay dead on the floor. Tom finally felt safe. The next day Tom and Huck talked about the money they had seen. Huck said someone else must have taken it from Indian Joe’s room in the tavern. “Huck, I bet the money’s in the caves! Will you go there with me and get it out?” “I will if we get in and don’t get lost.” “That’s no problem. Just through the entrance that only I know about, we can get into the caves.” So boys started their treasure hunt adventure. They went down the river, entered the secret hole and crawled to the far end of the tunnel. They tied their string to a rock and moved on. They soon got to the place where Tom saw Indian Joe that night. The boys went carefully over to the place. They found a small bed of blankets by a large rock but there was no money-box. “Look, Huck. There’re footprints and some candle wax on this side of the rock, but not on the other sides. I’m sure the money is under the rock. I’m going to dig.” Tom took out his knife, started digging and hit wood. He lifted the piece of wood and found a large hole. So they climbed inside it and found the treasure box, about $12,000, which were shared by them both. Now Widow Douglas gave Huck a home though Huck wasn’t used to the comfortable but regular life.
