While it’s no surprise to see Harry Potter and The Hunger Games series on top, this year’s list also highlights some writers we weren’t as familiar with.

But the books we read when we’re young can stay with us for a lifetime. The following are the top 4 on the list. Enjoy. 1. Harry Potter series The Harry Potter books make up the popular series written by J. K. Rowing. The series includes seven books.

But he still had a socially distanced birthday celebration that he will always remember. Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are. That way, his map-loving son could mark the locations. “I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.” To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe. Brandon would add each spot to his map. “He is having a blast,” Mr. Smith said. In the afternoon of April 11, Brandon was popular on Twitter. He was the most-talked-about topic. Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Children with autism have different abilities. They get very interested in things. They will be interested in it for just a few weeks Sometimes, months, One thing that Brandon continues to love is maps. Mr. Smith’s phone pinged with so many birthday messages. Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check. By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks. Mr. Smith was grateful for all the responses. “These are pretty trying times,” Mr. Smith said. He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday. 41. Why did Smith ask people on Twitter to send birthday messages to his son? A. Brandon needed encouragement during this difficult time. B. He wanted to see how many responses he could get. C. Brandon spends much of his time talking to people on the internet. D. He could not celebrate how he usually would because of the coronavirus. 42. What happened after people told Brandon where they were? A. He marked the locations on his map. B. He added the spots to a list. C. He mailed them a letter. D. He read about the places. 43. Why does Brandon does not like birthday parties? A. The coronavirus has changed how people are celebrating. B. Friends have what is being called socially distanced birthday parties. C. Children with autism have different abilities. D. Mr. Smith explained that Brandon gets very interested in things. 44.

He thought that more people from Texas would reply to it. D. He did not know that he had so many Twitter followers. 45. What does the underlined word “trying” mean? A. Difficult. B. hard-working. C. Interesting. D. tiring. C Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions. Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That’s more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America. Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don’t need a driver in the driver’s seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s. And then there is the “Gig Economy (零工经济)” that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can’t enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won’t bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. 46. The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “______”. A. make someone interested in B. equip someone for C. wipe out D. bring back 47. What will happen with technologies developing according to the text? A. Robots will become smarter and smarter. B. Uber’s labor cost will be lower and lower. C. More and more truck drivers will be needed. D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance. 48. Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job? A. It may be flexible. B. It may offer sick pay. C. It is full of adventure. D. It is always well-paid. 49. Which of the following does the writer agree on? A. Welcoming foreign trade. B. Offering more part-time jobs. C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss. D. Developing more new technologies. 50. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To show technology advances in our daily life. B. To prove technologies cause low incomes. C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is. D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming. D Albert Einsein said，“Only a life lived for others is worth living.” How does this job offer sound? You’ll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends. You could be asked to do anything from helping at community events to responding to life-threatening emergencies (sometimes putting your own safety at risk). This job also involves a lot of regular training. Oh, and you won't be paid for any of this. Would you take the job? This job might not necessarily appeal to everyone, but if this sounds like an opportunity you’d eagerly accept，then you’d fit right in with Western Australia’s 26,000 emergency service volunteers. The emergency services aren't the only industry benefiting from volunteers. Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services. What motivates people to volunteer? Yes, volunteers don't get paid. But it doesn't mean people don't get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones. A case is someone close to me who recently lost her husband to a disease. When her husband was admitted to a nursing facility, she decided to volunteer for the patient advocacy committee. She found great support and felt she could make a difference in the lives of the patients. After her husband's passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made friends there. She found a way to put her career skills to use for the common good and keep active after retirement. There are countless ways to volunteer. No matter how you do it, it is definitely worth every minute you put into it. 51. If we are committed to “this job” described in Para. 2, we are _______. A. always in danger of losing our lives B. on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week C. busy providing first-aid training in communities D. going to work on weekends and rest on weekdays 52. What does the author mainly tell us in the third paragraph? A. Not everyone is fit to be a volunteer. B. Many industries in the world need volunteers. C. Many emergency services exist in Western Australia. D. Many people devote themselves to volunteering in Australia and America. 53. We can come to the conclusion that volunteering _______. A. is a win-win situation B. benefits both the body and the mind C. spreads quickly among people D is hard to stick to without rewards 54. The author's friend kept volunteering after her husband's death _________. A. for her interest to learn career skills B. to stay helpful and related to people C. as a means to get over her great loss D. because it was her husband's last will 55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage volunteering. B. To advertise a job opportunity. C. To express gratitude to volunteers. D. To give advice on volunteering. 第II卷（共35分） 第三部分： 第一节：阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务（满分10分） I grew up in a small, remote village in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. My world was very small and I only knew a few professions and as I started my first grade in primary school, the only profession that I knew was teaching. Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. I hoped to take mostly science subjects in high school and then proceed to university to study medicine. However, things didn’t go the way I expected. I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. As I completed high school and was preparing to go to college, my greatest attention was focused on accounting. Naturally, the subject becomes my best subject now at college. Now I am an accounting major but I wish to declare finance a major as well. I value the importance of business in society very much. I want to be a financial advisor in the future. To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. While I wish to achieve this I agree that there is room for me to explore other opportunities, too. Our ambitions always change with new circumstances, new environments and as we get to know how big the world really is. 56.

A. marking B. to mark C. having marked D. marked 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：周三，中国的嫦娥4号机器人探测器进入月球轨道，标志着它在月球远端软着陆任务中迈出了重要一步。逗号前是主句，逗号后是非限制性定语，修饰整个主句，结合句意，主句和mark之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作定语，A选项正确。 【点睛】不定式和现在分词均可用结果状语，但两者用法有区别：现在分词用作结果状语，通常表示一种自然的结果，即属预料之中的事；不定式用作结果状语，主要表示没有预料到的情况或结果，即属预料之外的事。 5.

To have spent 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于已经花光了几乎所有的钱，我们无法支付住宾馆的费用。动词不定式表将来和目的，根据句意可知，“花钱”的动作发生在过去，排除B、D；过去分词表完成和被动，we与spend是主谓关系，应该用现在分词，排除C；“花光了几乎所有的钱”明显发生在“无法支付住宾馆的费用”之前，所以用现在分词的完成式，作原因状语，故选A。 11. My leg really hurts — I’m not sure how much longer I can ________ it. A. bear B. bend C. bless D. betray 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的腿真的很疼——我不确定我还能忍受多久。A. bear忍受；B. bend弯曲；C. bless祝福；D. betray背叛。根据“My leg really hurts”可知，腿很疼，所以不确定还能忍受多久这种疼痛，用动词bear来表示忍受疼痛最合适。故选A项。 12.

It is a tough time to have a birthday. But he still had a socially distanced birthday celebration that he will always remember. Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are. That way, his map-loving son could mark the locations. “I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.” To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe. Brandon would add each spot to his map. “He is having a blast,” Mr. Smith said. In the afternoon of April 11, Brandon was popular on Twitter. He was the most-talked-about topic. Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Children with autism have different abilities. They get very interested in things. They will be interested in it for just a few weeks, Sometimes, months, One thing that Brandon continues to love is maps. Mr. Smith’s phone pinged with so many birthday messages. Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check. By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks. Mr. Smith was grateful for all the responses. “These are pretty trying times,” Mr. Smith said. He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday. 41. Why did Smith ask people on Twitter to send birthday messages to his son? A. Brandon needed encouragement during this difficult time. B. He wanted to see how many responses he could get. C. Brandon spends much of his time talking to people on the internet. D. He could not celebrate how he usually would because of the coronavirus. 42. What happened after people told Brandon where they were? A. He marked the locations on his map. B. He added the spots to a list. C. He mailed them a letter. D. He read about the places. 43. Why does Brandon does not like birthday parties? A. The coronavirus has changed how people are celebrating. B. Friends have what is being called socially distanced birthday parties. C. Children with autism have different abilities. D. Mr. Smith explained that Brandon gets very interested in things. 44. Why does Smith feel surprised about the response to his Twitter post? A. He thought that more people would reply to it. B. He did not expect so many people to reply to it. C. He thought that more people from Texas would reply to it. D. He did not know that he had so many Twitter followers. 45. What does the underlined word “trying” mean? A. Difficult. B. hard-working. C. Interesting. D. tiring. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文记叙了Brandon的特殊的生日——新冠期间他父亲为他在推特上发帖子征求回应你在世界的哪里，出人意料的是回应来自于全世界各地，Brandon成了热门话题人物。而Brandon有自闭症，不愿意有什么生日聚会，他喜欢做自己想要做的事情。Smith先生说他很高兴看到人们的善举，这种回应让Brandon感到生日过的很特别。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。审题得知为什么Smith在推特上请求人们发送生日信息给他儿子。可以定位于：It is a tough time to have a birthday. But he still had a socially distanced birthday celebration that he will always remember.第一段末尾的句子告诉我们：在这时候过生日是很艰难的。但他依然度过了一个难忘的社交距离生日庆祝。第二段开始点睛之笔：Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative.在冠状病毒时期庆祝生日迫使人们创新性的想办法去过一个生日。故逆向思维得知在冠状病毒期间想像平时那样庆祝生日是不可能的事情。故D选项：He could not celebrate how he usually would because of the coronavirus.“因为冠状病毒期间，他不能像以往那样庆祝自己的生日了。”切合文意。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。审题得知Brandon得知人们告诉他他们的地点后发生了什么。可以定位于：Brandon would add each spot to his map. Brandon会将每一个地点添加到地图上。换一句话说就是会在地图上标识地点。后文也有类似表达：Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. 每次电话告知时，Brandon都会在地图上贴上一个标识。He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check.他几乎等不及在真正的地图上看来自于何方的人。By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks.到中午的时候，Brandon的地图上贴满了标识。综合这些信息，可以得出A选项：He marked the locations on his map.“他在他的地图上标识地点。”切合文意。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。审题得知关键词信息为does not like birthday parties不喜欢生日聚会。定位于Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Smith先生说他喜欢做他自己喜欢的事情，“Brandon有自闭症。”接下来文章说Children with autism have different abilities.有自闭症的孩子都有不同常人的能力。从这里可以推出选项C切合文意。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。审题得知：为什么Smith先生很惊讶于推特帖子的回应是如此多。根据此意可定位于：“I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.”前一句说预料到50个人回应，最多100人罢了，且多半是美国人。但是：To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe令他惊讶的是成千上万的对Smith先生请求的回应以及图片发送自于加勒比地区、南美洲和欧洲。这些线索足以说明B选项：He did not expect so many people to reply to it.“他没有期待有那么多的人回应此事。”切合文意。故选B。 【45题详解】 猜测词义题。审题定位于times，同意表达见于文首：It is a tough time to have a birthday.庆祝生日是一个艰难的时刻。然后在划线单词处说：He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday.他很高兴 看到人们的善举，Smith先生说这些回应使得Brandon感觉他的生日过得如此的特别。前者交代这是一个什么样的时刻，后者交代在这个时刻里我们可以做到什么。反过来也证明tough一词就是trying的转义说法。故A选项Difficult困难的，艰难的切合文意。故选A。 C Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions. Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That’s more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America. Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don’t need a driver in the driver’s seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s. And then there is the “Gig Economy (零工经济)” that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can’t enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won’t bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. 46. The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “______”. A. make someone interested in B. equip someone for C. wipe out D. bring back 47. What will happen with technologies developing according to the text? A. Robots will become smarter and smarter. B. Uber’s labor cost will be lower and lower. C. More and more truck drivers will be needed. D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance. 48. Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job? A. It may be flexible. B. It may offer sick pay. C. It is full of adventure. D. It is always well-paid. 49. Which of the following does the writer agree on? A. Welcoming foreign trade. B. Offering more part-time jobs. C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss. D. Developing more new technologies. 50. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To show technology advances in our daily life. B. To prove technologies cause low incomes. C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is. D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，随着技术进步，很多公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人。零工经济时代很快就会到来。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper.”可知机器人的成本比人力更便宜，未来很多公司会更多使用机器人。也就是说机器人会夺走很多人的工作。故C项正确。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don’t need a driver in the driver’s seat.”可知Uber公司开发了无人驾驶技术，会大大地减少雇佣司机的工资付出，公司的运营成本会越来越低。故B项正确。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can’t enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits.”可知兼职工作的人无法享受生病工资，也就是说全职工作的人可以享受sick pay，这也是sick pay的优势。故B项正确。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“But closing the doors to foreign trade won’t bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.”可知作者认为关闭对外贸易并不能让工作机会回归，只会减缓全球经济发展并伤害美国的出口。由此可见作者支持对外贸易。故A项正确。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章前两段可知技术进步让公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人。再根据第四段第一句“And then there is the “Gig Economy (零工经济)” that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment.”可知零工经济时代很快就会到来。故D项正确。 D Albert Einsein said，“Only a life lived for others is worth living.” How does this job offer sound? You’ll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends. You could be asked to do anything from helping at community events to responding to life-threatening emergencies (sometimes putting your own safety at risk). This job also involves a lot of regular training. Oh, and you won't be paid for any of this. Would you take the job? This job might not necessarily appeal to everyone, but if this sounds like an opportunity you’d eagerly accept，then you’d fit right in with Western Australia’s 26,000 emergency service volunteers. The emergency services aren't the only industry benefiting from volunteers. Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services. What motivates people to volunteer? Yes, volunteers don't get paid. But it doesn't mean people don't get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones. A case is someone close to me who recently lost her husband to a disease. When her husband was admitted to a nursing facility, she decided to volunteer for the patient advocacy committee. She found great support and felt she could make a difference in the lives of the patients. After her husband's passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made friends there. She found a way to put her career skills to use for the common good and keep active after retirement. There are countless ways to volunteer. No matter how you do it, it is definitely worth every minute you put into it. 51. If we are committed to “this job” described in Para. 2, we are _______. A. always in danger of losing our lives B. on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week C. busy providing first-aid training in communities D. going to work on weekends and rest on weekdays 52. What does the author mainly tell us in the third paragraph? A. Not everyone is fit to be a volunteer. B. Many industries in the world need volunteers. C. Many emergency services exist in Western Australia. D. Many people devote themselves to volunteering in Australia and America. 53. We can come to the conclusion that volunteering _______. A. is a win-win situation B. benefits both the body and the mind C. spreads quickly among people D. is hard to stick to without rewards 54. The author's friend kept volunteering after her husband's death _________. A. for her interest to learn career skills B. to stay helpful and related to people C. as a means to get over her great loss D. because it was her husband's last will 55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage volunteering. B. To advertise a job opportunity. C. To express gratitude to volunteers. D. To give advice on volunteering. 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述做志愿者的好处，鼓励人们做志愿者。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中You’ll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends.“你需要可在短时间内,包括晚上和周末。”可知，如果我们致力于第2段所述的“这项工作”，我们每周7天、每天24小时随叫随到。故选B。 【52题详解】 段落大意题。根据第三段中Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services.“在澳大利亚和美国，每年有四分之一到一半的人口在教育、体育、健康、宗教和社会服务等领域志愿服务。”可知，在澳大利亚和美国，许多人致力于志愿服务。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中volunteers don't get paid. But it doesn't mean people don't get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones.“志愿者没有报酬。但这并不意味着人们不能从志愿服务中获益。事实上，研究表明志愿服务对心理健康有很大的好处。它可以是一种结交新朋友、培养新技能或尝试新事物的方式。它也可以是帮助所爱的人的一种方式。”可知，在她丈夫死后，她的朋友为了她学习职业技能的兴趣一直在做志愿者。故选A。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中After her husband's passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made friends there.“在她丈夫去世后，她决定继续担任委员会的志愿者，这不仅是为了表达对她丈夫受到的极大关怀的感激之情，也是因为她在那里结交了朋友。”可知，作者的朋友在她丈夫死后继续志愿服务，以保持帮助和与人的联系。故选B。 【55题详解】 目的意图题。根据最后一段There are countless ways to volunteer. No matter how you do it, it is definitely worth every minute you put into it.“志愿服务有无数种方式。不管你怎么做，你投入的每一分钟都是值得的。”可知，这篇文章的目的是“鼓励志愿者”。故选A。 第II卷（共35分） 第三部分： 第一节：阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务（满分10分） I grew up in a small, remote village in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. My world was very small and I only knew a few professions and as I started my first grade in primary school, the only profession that I knew was teaching. Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. I hoped to take mostly science subjects in high school and then proceed to university to study medicine. However, things didn’t go the way I expected. I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. As I completed high school and was preparing to go to college, my greatest attention was focused on accounting. Naturally, the subject becomes my best subject now at college. Now I am an accounting major but I wish to declare finance a major as well. I value the importance of business in society very much. I want to be a financial advisor in the future. To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. While I wish to achieve this, I agree that there is room for me to explore other opportunities, too. Our ambitions always change with new circumstances, new environments and as we get to know how big the world really is. 56.

Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition.(我的世界很小，我只知道几个职业，当我开始上小学一年级的时候，我唯一知道的职业就是教书。因此，在那个时候，成为一名教师是我的理想)”可知，作者上小学一年级时想成为一名老师。故答案为He wanted to be a teacher. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. (几年后，我们村里的一个年轻人成为了一名医生。我欣赏他的生活方式。因此，他的成就激励了我，他成为了我的榜样。这就是为什么当我开始上高中的时候，我想做的就是成为一名医生)”可知，作者后来想成为一名医生是因为他受到村里一个年轻人的启发。故答案为Because he was inspired by a young man from his village. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. (由于我的高中没有开设理科课程，我无法选修理科。起初我感到非常失望和沮丧，以为自己的梦想再次shattered。但没过多久，我意识到这其实是因祸得福——这让我有机会更深入地探索自己的人生选择)”可知，作者的高中不提供理科课程，不能选理科，所以成为医生的梦想破灭了，故划线词shattered意为“破灭”，与broken/ended/destroyed等词意思相近。故答案为Broken./Ended./Destroyed. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. (为了实现我的梦想，现在我正在努力学习以获得更多关于金融的知识)”可知，作者为了实现成为财务顾问的梦想，正在努力学习以获得更多关于金融的知识。故答案为：He is studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. 【60题详解】 考查开放题。本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案不唯一。题干为“你青少年时期的梦想是什么？你为什么有这个梦想？”可以回答：我想成为一名教师，因为我觉得教师善良、耐心、睿智。故答案为I want to be a teacher, because I think teachers are kind, patient, and wise. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是李华，你校英语广播站将选举新一届主席。请你用英语写一篇竞选演讲稿，内容包括： (1)个人优势；(2)组织活动设想；(3)希望大家支持。 注意：(1)写作词数应不少于100； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear teachers and fellow students, My name is Li Hua ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for listening! 【答案】Dear teachers and fellow students, My name is Li Hua.
