Good grades are a result of many factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factors’ is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly. According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic (有氧的) exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain. The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth. The growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety. It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted, Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. 1．What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades? A．Child’s High IQ. B．A good environment. C．Physical health. D．The hours spent on learning. 2．Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memory? A．Regular aerobic exercise. B．Balance exercise. C．Muscle exercise. D．Resistance training. 3．How does exercise influence thinking indirectly? A．By releasing growth factors in large numbers. B．By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. C．By affecting the survival of new brain cells. D．By improving a person’s mood and sleep quality. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Mental health should never be ignored. B．Physical education class is really a good option. C．Exercise may contribute to good academic grades. D．Different exercises have different results on the brain. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明了体育锻炼对于孩子的学业表现有积极的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factors’ is physical health. (而其中一个主要且常被忽视的影响因素是身体健康。)”可知，在考虑影响孩子学业成绩的因素时，身体健康的重要性往往被忽视。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic (有氧的) exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. (根据不列颠哥伦比亚大学的一项研究，定期进行有氧运动可以改善海马体的功能，而海马体是大脑中与学习和记忆相关的区域。)”可知，有规律的有氧运动对学习和记忆是最好的。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety. (另一方面，充足的运动能够改善睡眠质量和情绪。它还能减轻压力和焦虑。)”可知，锻炼的间接影响表现在改善睡眠质量和情绪。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly. (体育活动和健康实际上可以提高一个人的学习能力。根据美国国家医学院的研究，运动可以显著提高儿童的认知能力、健康状况和学业成绩。)”和第二段“According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic (有氧的) exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. (根据不列颠哥伦比亚大学的一项研究，定期进行有氧运动可以改善海马体的功能，而海马体是大脑中与学习和记忆相关的区域。)”以及最后一段“Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. (体育活动不应被视为可有可无的选择，而应视为重要的教育关注点。)”可知，文章介绍了体育锻炼在提高记忆力，思维能力，认知能力等方面的好处，并呼吁将体育活动作为教育的重要组成部分，由此可知，本文主要介绍了体育锻炼有助于提高孩子的学业成绩。故选C项。 Felicia’s father Herminio, in Florida, has to rely on dialysis (透析) to keep him alive as he waits for a kidney donation (捐赠). The poor man is battling stage-5 kidney disease, and has to have a transplant (移植). Felicia noted that she and her father had always been close, even after she moved to Kansas when she was 13 years old. She added that the distance between them had become especially difficult because of his illness. The waiting list could take months. Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation. “It’s so amazing to me that I can help save a life — and it’s my dad’s,” Felicia said. The father-daughter duo (二人组) are currently going through the final stages of tests to make sure that she can proceed (继续进行) with the organ donation. While Felicia’s donation will most likely save her father’s life, the family have to face another problem. Herminio’s insurance (保险) will cover the expenses of his surgery but not the additional costs for his medication and recovery. Felicia and her family created the GoFundMe page in hopes of raising $30,000 for the expenses not covered by Herminio’s insurance. The page states that Herminio needs at least $8,000 worth of emergency (紧急情况) medications before the surgery. He will also require expensive medications after the surgery (外科手术), Meanwhile, Felicia, who is also a parent and doesn’t have a high salary, will need money to travel, pay her bills and find childcare for her son while she recovers. “I cannot wait to get through the rest of these tests to know for sure that I can do this and I can save him. I will be heart-broken if he’s not going to get the transplant,” she said. “I’m going to be the one who’s going to do it, and I’m going all the way — in 100 percent, full force.” 1．What do you know about Herminio? A．He lives together with his daughter. B．He has divorced his wife. C．He is suffering from kidney problems. D．He is recovering from a serious disease. 2．What did Felicia want to do? A．To wait for an organ donation B．To donate a life-saving kidney to her father. C．To support her father financially D．To take care of her father in hospital 3．Felicia can be best described as ________. A．strong and brave B．selfless and determined C．rich and generous D．hard-working and creative 4．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Poor Family B．An Expensive Surgery C．A Deadly Disease D．A Priceless Gift 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。费莉西亚为患5期肾病、需透析等待肾移植的父亲秘密配型，拟捐肾救父，家人还为手术外费用筹款。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Felicia’s father Herminio, in Florida, has to rely on dialysis (透析) to keep him alive as he waits for a kidney donation (捐赠).(费莉西亚的父亲赫尔米尼奥在佛罗里达州，等待肾源期间必须依靠透析维持生命。)”及第二句“The poor man is battling stage-5 kidney disease, and has to have a transplant (移植).(这个可怜的人正在与5期肾病作斗争，必须接受移植手术。)”可知，赫尔米尼奥正遭受肾脏疾病的困扰。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation.(费莉西亚没有让父亲长时间等待，而是秘密进行了配型测试，看自己是否能成为他的器官捐赠者。)”及后文提到父女俩正进行最后阶段测试以确认她能捐赠器官可知，费莉西亚想给父亲捐献救命的肾脏。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation.(费莉西亚没有让父亲长时间等待，而是秘密进行了配型测试，看自己是否能成为他的器官捐赠者。)”可知，费莉西亚为救父亲秘密进行配型测试，愿意捐献自己的肾脏，体现她的“无私（selfless）”；再根据最后一段““I cannot wait to get through the rest of these tests to know for sure that I can do this and I can save him. I will be heart-broken if he’s not going to get the transplant,” she said. “I’m going to be the one who’s going to do it, and I’m going all the way — in 100 percent, full force.”(“我迫不及待地想完成剩下的所有检查，好确切知道我能做到，我能救他。如果他得不到移植，我的心都会碎的，”她说，“我会成为那个捐献者，我会全力以赴 —— 毫无保留，倾尽所有。”)”可知，她下定决心要救父亲，体现她的“坚定（determined）”。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第三段“Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation. “It’s so amazing to me that I can help save a life—and it’s my dad’s,” Felicia said. The father-daughter duo (二人组) are currently going through the final stages of tests to make sure that she can proceed (继续进行) with the organ donation.(为了不让父亲长时间等待，费莉西亚悄悄完成了配型检测，想看看自己是否能成为他的器官捐献匹配者。“能参与拯救一条生命 —— 而且是我爸爸的生命，这太让我激动了，”费莉西亚说。这对父女目前正在完成最后的检测，以确保她可以继续进行器官捐献。)”可知，全文围绕费莉西亚为患肾病的父亲捐献肾脏展开，肾脏捐赠对赫尔米尼奥而言是救命的礼物，这份父女间的爱与牺牲是无价的。所以D选项“A Priceless Gift(一份无价的礼物)”既指肾脏这一“礼物”，也暗指父女深情，能概括全文主旨。D项适合用作标题，故选D项。 The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping hamburgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 1．What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Foundation. B．Solution. C．Symbol. D．Cause. 2．What does the author’s mother attach most importance to? A．The author’s overall wellbeing. B．The sacrifice for her daughter. C．The relief of the author’s stress. D．The author’s devotion to schoolwork. 3．What does the use of the “rubber band” try to illustrate? A．A conflict with her father about goals. B．A bond between the author and her mother. C．A shift in the author’s outlook on pressure. D．A link to the author’s academic performance. 4．What does the author mean by saying “reaching for the moon”? A．She will be unbeatable. B．She will continue to aim high. C．She has achieved all her goals. D．She has a passion for astronomy. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因IB课程、SAT成绩及红十字会申请受挫而崩溃，在母亲开导下转变对压力的看法，重拾心态的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(导致我崩溃的最后一个catalyst是地区红十字会青年理事会意外的拒绝。作为我校分会的副会长，我从未想过这种可能性。红十字会是我的热爱，也是我赖以区别于其他申请者的优势。这次拒绝让我的未来变得暗淡，我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”可知，红十字会的拒绝是让作者最终崩溃的又一个因素，故“catalyst”意为“原因，诱因”，与“Cause”含义相近。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”(然后她深情地看着我说：“但最重要的是，这百分之百里，是你的心理健康。”)”以及第四段中的“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued.(“没有什么比你的健康更重要，”她继续说道。)”可知，作者的母亲最重视的是作者的整体健康状况。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(这次拒绝让我的未来变得暗淡，我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”以及第五段中的“Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.(她的见解让我如释重负。我意识到橡皮筋不必一直拉伸。一根白天扎头发、晚上能放在床头柜上休息的橡皮筋永远不会断。)”可知，作者最初用“橡皮筋”比喻自己因压力崩溃，后来在母亲开导下，用“能休息的橡皮筋”比喻学会缓解压力，体现了作者对压力看法的转变。故选C项。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.(虽然我的日常没有改变——努力学习、追求卓越——但我的观念已经永远改变了。对失败的恐惧失去了力量。我仍然在reaching for the moon，但我不再害怕了。因为我知道，如果我没做到，我会正好落在妈妈的怀里。)”可知，作者依然保持努力学习、追求卓越的状态，只是不再害怕失败，故“reaching for the moon”指“继续树立高远目标并为之努力”，即“aim high”。故选B项。 My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon,” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes. The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs Loggia,” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.” My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece (侄女). 1．Who is the author’s daughter? A．Lillian. B．Donna. C．Judy. D．Laura. 2．The underlined words in the first paragraph “to bring her out of her shell” mean ________. A．to help her become less shy B．to help her become smart C．to help her live happily D．to help her walk out of her house 3．Laura looked familiar to the writer because she ________. A．was the daughter of Lillian’s sister B．was as old as her daughter C．was from Washington Heights D．had shiny black hair and a big smile, too 4．Why did the writer lose her best friend? Because ________. A．she moved to New Jersey B．they were different from each other C．her best friend travelled to Florida D．her best friend lost her life on a trip 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的女儿交到了新朋友Laura，这让她想起了自己已故好友Lillian，作者最后了解到女儿的朋友Laura居然是Lillian的侄女。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?”(我10岁的Donna说：“妈妈，我今天在学校交了一个新朋友。她明天能来吗？”)”可知，作者的女儿是Donna。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。划线词组是目的状语，根据上文“Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends (Donna是个害羞的女孩，我想让她交一些朋友)”及常识可知，作者想让害羞的Donna交些朋友，这样做的目的是为了让女儿不再害羞。由此可知，划线词组to bring her out of her shell的意思是“帮助她变得不那么害羞”。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.(和我女儿一样，我很害羞，但Lillian把我拉了出来。她是学校里最友好的人之一，有着闪亮的黑发和灿烂的笑容)”及第四段中的“Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile.(她的头发又黑又亮，她给了我一个大大的微笑)”可推知，因为Laura有着跟Lillian一样乌黑的秀发和灿烂的微笑，所以作者认为Laura有似曾相识的感觉。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon,” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more.(高中时，Lillian去佛罗里达旅行。这是我们第一次分开几天。“我很快就回来，”她告诉我。但是三天后，Lillian的姐姐告诉我，她掉进了河里，再也没有出来)”可知，作者失去了她最好的朋友，因为她最好的朋友在一次旅行中失去了她的生命。故选D。 There is a time when many Americans question whether a college degree is worth its cost. However, a recent study found Americans who completed college or university are more likely to have friends and are less lonely than those who only finished high school. Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life, said that in general Americans are experiencing a “friend recession”, meaning a decline in their number of friends. Cox noted, “Americans have fewer close friends today than we did in the early 1990s. But men and those without a college degree are particularly affected because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic decline over that period.” The Center questioned 5, 054 people this past summer. It found Americans with a college degree feel more socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didn’t go to college. As a result, those who completed college report feeling less lonely. Previous research showed that Americans who didn’t go to college are less likely to marry. A 2012 study found that college-educated women are much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school. A 2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who didn’t finish high school are less likely to marry than those with more education. Today, 65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married. About 50 percent of people with a high school diploma, or who dropped out of high school, are married. Those numbers were different in 1990, when marriage rates among the college graduates were at 69 percent, compared with 63 percent for those who did not go to college, says a Pew research report. The American Community Life Survey found around 1 in 10 college graduates say they have no close social connections. That number rises among Americans without a degree, where almost 1 in 4 say they have no close friends. 1．When was the study carried out according to the passage? A．When psychological problems arose sharply. B．When the number of college graduates declined. C．When Americans experienced a friend recession. D．When concerns about college costs appeared. 2．Why are some studies mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To provide evidence for the research. B．To analyze the reasons for loneliness. C．To show the importance of marriage. D．To compare differences in generations. 3．In which column of a magazine may this passage appear? A．Entertainment. B．Education. C．Technology.

Any slight cloud, strange white wrinkles, different colored shell, or red spots, and we take pause. In fact, they’re all perfectly safe to eat, and don’t even substantially change the taste. One odd occurrence: Seeing a completely white or incredibly light-yellow yolk (蛋黄). Often, it is enough to drive you to Google search or call your mom to double-check if it’s OK to consume. The good news is that you don’t need to throw away that fried egg from the pan. Coming across a white yolk is perfectly natural, though it’s a little rare in the United States. The color of your egg yolk depends on the feed of the chickens. In the U. S. , chickens typically eat a diet of yellow corn, and the pigments (色素) from the plant make their way into the egg yolks. Those pigments are also what give chicken skin and fat its yellowish color. If the chicken happens to eat more white corn than yellow, the yolk will be paler as well. If you’ve traveled overseas, you’ve probably noticed that the color of yolks varies widely across the globe. Again. this difference comes down to what the chickens are eating. In many African countries, for example, chickens typically have a diet of mostly sorghum, a grain with much less yellow pigmentation than yellow corn, resulting in lighter. or completely white yolks. In South American countries, you will notice pink, blood orange. or almost reddish yolks, because their chicken feed is rich in red seeds. In the U. S. , many people falsely associate darker yolks with happier hens or higher nutrition. Farmers can easily manipulate the chicken feed to include carrots, alfalfa (苜蓿) powder, or red seeds to determine the color of their chickens’ eggs. 1．Why are people so concerned about the appearance of eggs? A．It affects the prices. B．It is related to food safety. C．It is linked with their nutrition. D．It determines the color of yolk. 2．How do people find a white yolk according to Paragraph 2? A．Abnormal. B．Delicious. C．Fresh. D．Natural. 3．What affects the color of the egg yolk most? A．The food hens eat. B．The color of the hens. C．The type of the hens. D．The freshness of the eggs. 4．Why do farmers add alfalfa powder or red seeds to the feed of chickens? A．To cut down the farm costs. B．To make their eggs easily preserved. C．To promote their eggs’ attraction. D．To improve the health of chickens. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了影响鸡蛋外观的因素以及蛋黄的颜色在世界各地差别很大。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“There’s a large number of questions and concerns about the appearance of eggs. Any slight cloud, strange white wrinkles, different colored shell, or red spots, and we take pause. In fact, they’re all perfectly safe to eat, and don’t even substantially change the taste.(人们对鸡蛋的外观有很多疑问和担忧。任何轻微的阴影，奇怪的白色皱纹，不同颜色的外壳，或红色的斑点，我们都会停下来。事实上，它们吃起来都非常安全，甚至不会显著改变味道。)”可知，人们如此关注鸡蛋的外观是因为与食品安全有关。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“One odd occurrence: Seeing a completely white or incredibly light-yellow yolk (蛋黄). Often, it is enough to drive you to Google search or call your mom to double-check if it’s OK to consume.(一个奇怪的现象：看到一个完全白色或令人难以置信的淡黄色的蛋黄。通常情况下，这足以驱使你去谷歌搜索或打电话给你妈妈确认是否可以消费)”可知，碰到白色的蛋黄人们会去谷歌搜索或打电话给妈妈确认是否可以消费，可得出人们认为白色的蛋黄是不正常的。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“The color of your egg yolk depends on the feed of the chickens. In the U. S. , chickens typically eat a diet of yellow corn, and the pigments (色素) from the plant make their way into the egg yolks. Those pigments are also what give chicken skin and fat its yellowish color. If the chicken happens to eat more white corn than yellow, the yolk will be paler as well.(蛋黄的颜色取决于鸡的饲料。在美国，鸡通常以黄色玉米为食，玉米中的色素会进入蛋黄。这些色素也是使鸡皮和脂肪呈现黄色的原因。如果鸡肉碰巧吃的白玉米比黄玉米多，蛋黄也会更浅)”可知，母鸡吃的食物对蛋黄的颜色影响最大。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the U. S. , many people falsely associate darker yolks with happier hens or higher nutrition. Farmers can easily manipulate the chicken feed to include carrots, alfalfa (苜蓿) powder, or red seeds to determine the color of their chickens’ eggs.(在美国，许多人错误地将深色蛋黄与更快乐的母鸡或更高的营养联系在一起。农民可以很容易地操纵鸡饲料，加入胡萝卜、苜蓿粉或红色种子，以确定他们的鸡蛋的颜色)”可知，农民要在鸡的饲料中加入苜蓿粉或红籽是为了提高鸡蛋的吸引力，让消费者购买。故选C。 I learnt an important lesson from one of my patients. When I first met Linda, she was only six years old, beautiful and energetic. She had an accident when she fell into the fire on a camping trip, leaving30%of her skin surface damaged. Linda would require several weeks in the hospital and three additional surgeries. Between each operation, nurses daily took her for disinfection (消毒). Overnight, the dressings (敷料) would stick to the wound and have to be pulled away. Each step was more painful for Linda than the previous one. For an adult, the agonizing (折磨人的) pain and daily fear prove overwhelming. For a child, it has an impact forever. Linda’s life would never be the same. I took care of Linda for the next several years, treating her scars and freeing areas of tightness in her face and neck. Over that time, her scars faded and her appearance improved significantly. Eventually, her family moved away and I lost track of her. Years later, at a national meeting, I ran into a plastic surgeon I knew who told me he had met a former patient of mine. It was Linda. She was doing extremely well and she was his colleague and not his patient. Linda had become a nurse and worked with him in a burn unit. She was the nurse the patients most often asked to clean their wounds and change their dressings. Her compassion (同情心) and her courage in returning to a burn unit inspired their confidence and reduced their fears. Linda turned her pain into compassion. She devoted every day of her life towards helping others overcome their pain. Physicians can be frustrated and overwhelmed when we don’t have enough time in a day to complete everything we need to do. Linda taught me the importance of slowing down. Among the best gifts we, as physicians, can give our patients, whether in the exam room or at the bedside in the hospital, is to take the time to show the compassion we feel. 1．Which of the following words can best describe Linda according to the story? A．Outspoken. B．Well-behaved. C．Painful. D．Strong-minded. 2．What step could cause unbearable pain for Linda? A．Pulling away the dressings. B．Going through disinfection. C．Treating the scars. D．Freeing the areas of tightness. 3．What can help doctors reduce their patients’ fears according to the passage? A．Experience. B．Patience. C．Compassion. D．Friendliness. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Linda was thankful for the author’s compassion. B．Linda was mostly trusted by her colleagues. C．Linda’s experience led her to be a nurse. D．Gifts make patients confident in operations. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了琳达小时候经历了烧伤事故，治疗过程中的每一步对她来说都意味着疼痛和煎熬，但年幼的琳达凭借坚强的意志，熬过了这段痛苦的时期，并在长大后选择成为一名烧伤科的护士来帮助其他病人。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Overnight, the dressings (敷料) would stick to the wound and have to be pulled away. Each step was more painful for Linda than the previous one. For an adult, the agonizing (折磨人的) pain and daily fear prove overwhelming. For a child, it has an impact forever. Linda’s life would never be the same. (一夜之间，敷料就会粘在伤口上，必须把它拿开。琳达每走一步都比前一步更痛苦。对于一个成年人来说，折磨人的痛苦和每天的恐惧是难以承受的。对一个孩子来说，它的影响是永远的。琳达的生活将从此改变。)”可知，治疗和恢复的过程对成人而言都是非常痛苦的，更何况对当时还是个孩子的琳达来说；再结合下文提到的琳达状态很不错并成了一名烧伤科护士可知，她是个意志坚强的人。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Overnight, the dressings (敷料) would stick to the wound and have to be pulled away. Each step was more painful for Linda than the previous one.(一夜之间，敷料就会粘在伤口上，必须把它拿开。琳达每走一步都比前一步更痛苦。)”可知，用来保护伤口的敷料在夜里会粘在伤口上，揭开敷料的过程对琳达来说十分痛苦，故去掉敷料可能会导致无法忍受的疼痛。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Among the best gifts we, as physicians, can give our patients...is to take the time to show the compassion we feel.(作为医生，我们能给病人最好的礼物之一，无论是在检查室还是在医院的床边，就是花时间表达我们的同情。)”及倒数第二段中的“Her compassion (同情心) and her courage in returning to a burn unit inspired their confidence and reduced their fears.(她的同情和回到烧伤病房的勇气鼓舞了他们的信心，减少了他们的恐惧。)”可知，医生能够给予病人的最大安慰就是医生的同情心，即医生的同情心能够帮助病人减轻担忧和恐惧。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，琳达小时候有过烧伤的经历，结合文章倒数第二段中的“Linda turned her pain into compassion. (琳达把痛苦化为同情。)”可知，琳达将自己经历过的痛苦转换为同情心去帮助病患。由此可推知，琳达的经历促使她成为一名护士。故选C。 We all love eating out. But, is it bothering you because you are on a diet and have to dine with a friend? Sure, you will be concerned about the amount of calories, fat or salt in a restaurant’s menu items. 112 Choose the right place. Always plan ahead when you know that you have to dine out. Look for the restaurants that serve delicious meals that are low in fat. 1 You’re more likely to overeat there. Once you’ve decided the place, get familiar with their food menu.Decide what you’re going to order before you go. Start with a soup. One easy approach to stick to your diet when eating out is starting with a soup. 2 This will keep you from sitting hungry and filling you up. A soup is the first course that you order when eating out. 3 Salt improves food’s flavour and is often used heavily in restaurant meals. When you dine out, ask the attendant to prepare food without added salt. Ask about the ingredients to see if there are items that may be higher in salt. Moreover, it is better to limit the use of condiments (调料) such as mustard, ketchup, pickle and sauces as they may contain salt that you don’t need. Instead of salty appetisers (开胃小吃), choose fruit and vegetable salad. Don’t eat it all. 4 To avoid overeating, you can split a meal with a companion or put half the meal in a plate and leave the rest. Sticking to a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to turn down everyone’s offer when asked to eat out. A．You have to be very particular about serving sizes when dining out. B．Just make sure you make healthier choices. C．Avoid eating at places that offer all-you-can-eat buffets (自助餐). D．Here are four tips for eating out while you are on a diet. E．Cut the salt intake.

(从汤开始。)”和前文“One easy approach to stick to your diet when eating out is starting with a soup.(外出就餐时，坚持饮食的一个简单方法是先喝汤。)”可知，本段的内容与喝汤有关系，但注意汤的种类。所以选择项G“Order vegetable or bean-based but avoid cream-based soups. (点蔬菜或豆类，但不要吃油脂汤。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 4．此处考查段落主题句。根据下文内容“When you dine out, ask the attendant to prepare food without added salt.

If you have a trip coming up on this summer vacation and are concerned there’s going to be an intergenerational blow-up (发脾气), don’t worry. 117 Think about what gets you upset ahead of time. 1 For instance, when your cousin often does that thing where he goes on and on about how much money he makes. Research shows that when you have low expectations of another person’s behavior, you’re more likely to give them a pass when they act in an annoying or problematic way. 2 To avoid feeling stuck in a shitty situation, Lucas suggests coming prepared with an escape plan. “Figure out how you can exit the environment and get time with yourself” if you unexpectedly get triggered, he suggests. Go to work out in the fitness room for a half hour; camp out at a nearby coffee shop; take yourself on a solo walk. 3 If your relative isn’t buying your excuse, say you need to grab a new room key, use the bathroom, or want to check out the temperature of the ocean. Have an exit strategy. If so, you don’t collapse (like you have in the past) when you butt heads with a family member. Space can allow you to slow down and tend to your own emotions and needs. 4 So you can have more patience and tolerance for your relatives (and all the shitty things they do) when you rejoin them. A．Have an escape plan. B．Or pretend you need to take a nap. C．Family vacations are always full of unexpected surprises. D．Here are some strategies that can help you keep a cool head. E．You should communicate your feelings with your family members. F．Being aware of the potential conflicts that lie ahead can soften the blow. G．When you can physically remove yourself from a stressful situation, you can reset. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．B 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在暑假避免与家人发生争吵的一些策略。 1．上文“If you have a trip coming up on this summer vacation and are concerned there’s going to be an intergenerational blow-up (发脾气), don’t worry.(如果你在这个暑假即将有一次旅行，并且担心会出现代际冲突，别担心。)”提出“代际冲突”的问题，D项“这里有一些策略可以帮助你保持冷静”和前文为顺接关系，并引出下文介绍避免代际冲突的策略，符合语境。故选D。 2．下文“For instance, when your cousin often does that thing where he goes on and on about how much money he makes. Research shows that when you have low expectations of another person’s behavior, you’re more likely to give them a pass when they act in an annoying or problematic way.(例如，当你的表弟经常喋喋不休地说他赚了多少钱。研究表明，当你对另一个人的行为期望较低时，当他们以令人讨厌或有问题的方式行事时，你更有可能放过他们。)”说明提前想到可能让自己生气的事可以降低冲突带来的影响，F项“意识到前方可能存在的冲突可以减轻冲击”可以引出下文。且F项中的“Being aware of the potential conflicts”和下文中的“when they act in an annoying or problematic way”相呼应，所以符合语境。故选F。 3．此处是本段小标题。下文“To avoid feeling stuck in a shitty situation, Lucas suggests coming prepared with an escape plan.(为了避免陷入糟糕的境地，卢卡斯建议准备一个逃生计划。)”说明为了避免陷入糟糕的境地，要准备一个逃生计划，A项“有一个逃生计划”能概括下文内容，适合作为小标题。故选A。 4．上文“Go to work out in the fitness room for a half hour; camp out at a nearby coffee shop; take yourself on a solo walk.(去健身房锻炼半小时；在附近的咖啡馆坐坐；独自散步。)”说明了一些可以独自做的事情来逃离糟糕的境地，B项“或者假装你需要小睡一会儿”和上文并列，都是一些逃离糟糕境地的建议，所以符合语境。故选B。 5．上文“Space can allow you to slow down and tend to your own emotions and needs.(空间可以让你慢下来，关注自己的情绪和需求。)”说明空间可以让你慢下来，关注自己的情绪和需求，G项“当你能够从压力环境中抽身时，你可以重新调整自己”是对上文的补充描述，符合语境。故选G。 It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box. 122 1 If you assume all students learn in the same way, you are absolutely wrong. As teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student. Determine if they have trouble sitting still. Examine how they learn the best—are they auditory (听觉的) learners, visual learners, or physical learners? Use the knowledge to structure your lesson plans. Get involved in your students’ learning. When the students are studying or taking part in an educational activity, join in. It allows you to model study habits and the feeling of joy when learning something new. 2 ，they will assume that the activity is simply not worth your time. Create hands-on learning opportunities. Students remember information better when both their hands and brains are busy. 3 . For example, you can group students by interests and provide them with activities that let them explore a topic in a way that engage them. The active, auditory and visual learners will benefit much in the progress. 4 When students are placed in charge of their own learning and the learning of others, they are encouraged to learn the material as thoroughly as possible. So have students work in pairs or small groups. Instead of asking you for help, they will rely on each other or solve any problem they meet with. A．If they suspect that you did not enjoy the activity B．Structure students’ learning plan to meet their needs C．Provide students with opportunities to teach each other D．Promote independent and self-paced learning for everyone E．Catch their attention with individualized and creative methods F．If they don’t find any pleasure while getting involved in the activity G．This is accomplished by activities that require students to talk, listen and move 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．A 4．G 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。使学习对于学生是有趣的经常是一件困难的事情。本文就如何让学生对学习感兴趣给出了有效建议。 1．上文“It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box.(要让学生觉得学习有趣往往是一项挑战。如果传统的学习方式不能吸引他们，那么是时候跳出常规思考了。)”指出传统学习方式不能吸引学生时，要采用新方法。E选项“Catch their attention with individualized and creative methods(用个性化且有创意的方法吸引他们的注意力)”承接上文，说明要跳出常规，用个性化且有创意的方法来吸引学生，让学习变得有趣，符合题意。故选E。 2．下文“If you assume all students learn in the same way, you are absolutely wrong. As teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student.(如果你认为所有学生的学习方式都一样，那你就大错特错了。作为老师，要评估每个学生的具体需求。)”强调了要了解每个学生的具体需求。B选项“Structure students’ learning plan to meet their needs(根据学生的需求来安排他们的学习计划)”引出下文，说明要根据学生需求来安排学习计划，也就是要了解并满足学生的具体需求，符合题意。故选B。 3．下文“they will assume that the activity is simply not worth your time.(他们会认为这个活动根本不值得你花时间。)”说明了一种结果。A选项“If they suspect that you did not enjoy the activity(如果他们怀疑你不喜欢这个活动)”与下文构成假设关系，即如果学生怀疑老师不喜欢这个活动，他们就会认为这个活动不值得老师花时间，从而也不重视这个活动，符合题意。故选A。 4．上文“Create hands-on learning opportunities. Students remember information better when both their hands and brains are busy.(创造实践学习机会。当学生的双手和大脑都忙碌时，他们能更好地记住信息。)”强调了实践学习的重要性。G选项“This is accomplished by activities that require students to talk, listen and move(这可以通过要求学生说话、倾听和移动的活动来实现)”进一步说明了如何创造实践学习机会，即通过让学生说话、倾听和移动的活动来实现，符合题意。故选G。 5．下文“When students are placed in charge of their own learning and the learning of others, they are encouraged to learn the material as thoroughly as possible. So have students work in pairs or small groups.(当学生负责自己的学习和他人的学习时，他们会受到鼓励，尽可能彻底地学习材料。所以让学生两人一组或小组学习。)”强调了让学生相互学习的好处。C选项“Provide students with opportunities to teach each other(为学生提供相互教学的机会)”引出下文，说明要为学生提供相互教学的机会，即让学生两人一组或小组学习，符合题意。故选C。 三、完形填空 Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But when he was young, he could 1 read. He grew up with his brothers in rural Western Jamaica, raised by their single mother. Life was tough, and with 2 resources, proper schooling seemed unattainable. When Ghunta finally attended school, he couldn’t 3 on reading.

However, as American fast food gains 186 and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17 percent and is still growing. 1．A．present B．natural C．strange D．modern 2．A．continue B．move C．try D．expand 3．A．research B．novel C．book D．newspaper 4．A．where B．why C．how D．when 5．A．sensitive B．sad C．happy D．full 6．A．pockets B．refrigerators C．houses D．plates 7．A．into B．as C．inside D．to 8．A．fairly long B．fairly short C．very exciting D．rather fast 9．A．anything B．something C．everything D．nothing 10．A．get B．bring C．lose D．receive 11．A．hot B．cool C．warm D．frozen 12．A．therefore B．instead C．however D．merely 13．A．choice B．message C．taste D．number 14．A．examples B．traditions C．changes D．stories 15．A．failure B．success C．acceptance D．rejection 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．D 6．D 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．C 11．D 12．B 13．A 14．C 15．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要结合学者研究结果，介绍了“同吃油腻食品，美国人肥胖率极高而法国人则不然”这一奇怪的现象及其背后的原因，并就未来的变化做出讨论、预测。 1．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但奇怪的是，吃油腻食品的法国人却能继续保持瘦（的身材）。A. present现在的；B. natural自然的；C. strange奇怪的；D. modern现代的。结合上一句（全文首句）及生活常识，美国人喜欢吃油腻食品，肥胖率很高，而这事到了法国人这里却不成立，很“奇怪”，故选C。 2．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但奇怪的是，吃油腻食物的法国人却能继续保持瘦（的身材）。A. continue继续；B. move移动，改变；C. try尝试；D. expand扩张。结合“to stay thin”可知，法国人吃了油腻食品之后，不会变胖，而是继续保持瘦的身材，故选A。 3．考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在，一个由康奈尔大学开展的研究揭示了生活方式和对于饮食的选择是如何影响体重的。A. research研究；B. novel小说；C. book书籍；D. newspaper报纸。由大学开展的，能揭示科学规律的活动应是“研究”，同时，根据下一句句首的researchers提示，故选A。 4．考查宾语从句连接词辨析。句意：现在，一个由康奈尔大学开展的研究揭示了生活方式和对于饮食的选择是如何影响体重的。A. where何处；B. why为什么；C. how怎样，如何；D. when什么时候。这里讲的是生活方式和饮食选择这两个因素对于体重的影响，它们是“如何”影响体重的，所以选项表示方式的连接副词。故选C。 5．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：研究人员得出结论，当法国人感到饱的时候，他们就会倾向于停止饮食。A. sensitive敏感的；B. sad伤心的；C. happy开心的；D. full饱的。根据“the French tend to stop eating”可知，当法国人感到饱的时候，他们就会倾向于停止饮食，故选D。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，只有当美国人发现盘子空了或者最喜欢的电视节目结束了的时候，他们才会停止饮食。A. pockets口袋；B. refrigerators冰箱；C. houses房子；D. plates盘子。结合语境，这里是进行美国人和法国人的对比，法国人会主观上“感到饱了”并停止饮食，而美国人则更像“无意识地，心不在焉地”不停吃，只有外部客观条件才会迫使他们停下来，这里的客观条件之一是“盘子空了”，故选D。 7．考查介词词义辨析。句意：按照健康专家Joseph Mercola教授的看法，法国人把饮食视作生活格调的重要一部分。A. into到……里面（强调动态过程）；B. as作为，当作；C. inside在里面，在内部；D. to到，向。这里讲的是法国人把饮食视作（当作）生活的重要一部分，see...as“把……看作……”故选B。 8．考查形容词短语词义辨析。句意：他们享受食物，也因此在餐桌上花了相当长的时间。A. fairly long相当长的；B. fairly short相当短的；C. very exciting十分刺激的；D. rather fast相当快的。根据“They enjoy food”可知，法国人是把吃饭当做享受的，因此在餐桌上花的时间也是相当长的（慢慢品味、享受），故选A。 9．考查不定代词词义辨析。句意：然而美国人把吃饭视作一件要在其他日常活动中挤出时间（来完成）的事。A. anything任何事物；B. something某事，某物；C. everything每件事情，每个事物；D. nothing无事。在这里，see eating as something…指“把吃饭视作……的一件事情（某件事情）”，此处指美国人把吃饭视作一件要在其他日常活动中挤出时间（来完成）的事。故选B。 10．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Mercola 认为美国人失去了在他们确实饱了的时候感知的能力。A. get得到；B. bring带来；C. lose失去；D. receive收到。结合上下文语境，专家认为美国人“不知饱”，盘子空了亦或是电视节目结束了才知道停下，因此这里说他们失去了感知能力，故选C。 11．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：此外，他指出，美国人会开车去大型商超买罐头和冷冻食品（储存起来）作为未来一周的食物。A. hot热的；B. cool酷的，凉爽的；C. warm温暖的；D. frozen冷冻的。根据“foods for the week”和下文“walking to small shops or farmers’ markets ”可知，与法国人不同，美国去超市买能储存很久的冷冻食物。故选D。 12．考查副词词义辨析。句意：法国人则相反，他们倾向于日常出去购物，走去小商店或者农贸市场。A. therefore因此；B. instead相反，反而；C. however然而，但是；D. merely仅仅是，只不过。结合上下文，此处是指美国人和法国人购物习惯相反，B、C意义上都符合，但however表转折关系，解释为“然而，但是”时其后一定要加上逗号，排除C项，故选B。 13．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这些地方，他们为每顿饭选购新鲜的水果、蔬菜、鸡蛋和高质量的肉类。A. choice选择；B. message消息；C. taste味道；D. number数量。根据“fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.”可知，这里指的是他们有新鲜的食物可供选择，have a choice of符合语境，故选A。 14．考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管有这些不同，但证据显示近年来生活方式的改变或许会影响法国人的饮食习惯。A. examples例子；B. traditions传统；C. changes变化，改变；D. stories故事。下文提到快餐正被法国人认可、接受，法国儿童肥胖率正急剧上升，这是一种变化，同时本句中的recent（近期的，近来的）也起到提示作用，可帮助排除traditions（传统），故选C。 15．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，随着美国快餐获得认可，年轻人又拒绝以前的传统（生活方式），法国儿童的肥胖率已经达到17%，并且还在上升。A. failure失败；B. success成功；C. acceptance认可，接受；D. rejection拒绝。根据“the young reject older traditions”，这里强调的是快餐被法国消费者认可、接受，拒绝以前的传统生活方式，而不是强调快餐在商业上的成功，gain acceptance一般指获得消费者、顾客的认可、接受，进入了（法国的）市场，故选C。 四、书信写作 1．假定你是李华，你校英语校报编辑正在就“Healthy Lifestyle”这一主题面向全体学生征稿。请你根据以下内容给编辑写一封信。 写作要点： 1. 指出不良习惯：熬夜玩手机； 2. 做出决定； 3. 提出具体行动； 4. 表达预期结果。 注意：1. 要点齐全，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Li Hua 【答案】Dear editor, I’m troubled by a serious problem.

In this way Lori Rubin started a lasting friendship 2 George Ghossn. It was November 1975, 3 Lori was in the sixth grade and George was an eighth-grader. In his reply to Lori’s first letter, George introduced himself and his family, and a school photo 4 (include), too. Since then, the two 5 (continue) exchanging handwritten letters about once a month. Lori and George, however, didn’t meet in person or even speak on the phone until 2017. 6 (excite) at the sight of each other, they hugged and cried together. George said Lori’s letters were beautiful. “No matter how sad I felt, her words could always bring me out of the darkness 7 she always knew the perfect thing to say,” said he. Though the value of letter-writing is ignored by many young people today, Lori sees 8 as a form of art. Letter-writing takes a lot of time, so it allows her to dig deep into her soul 9 (express) what she is feeling. Both she and George have saved almost all of the letters they have exchanged. Now, George and Lori have been talking on the phone and on social media more often. However, one thing will never change. They said they would never stop 10 (exchange) handwritten letters with each other. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A teenage girl 1 name is Jennifer Jones was rushed to hospital after passing out in her morning PE class. Jennifer was found to have dangerously low blood sugar levels because she was so concerned about her weight that she 2 (regular) skipped meals. Fortunately, Jennifer would make a full 3 (recover) in a day or two. Her case reminded other teenagers 4 the dangers of such unhealthy weight-loss habits. 5 (struggle) to slim down quickly, teenagers always turn to some extreme methods. According to the survey 6 (conduct) by health experts, almost one fifth of teenagers frequently skip meals, one in ten over-exercise and four per cent even take weight-loss pills. Much attention needs 7 (pay) to these figures. Currently, health experts 8 (increase) their efforts to educate teenagers about the side effects of such extreme methods. They pointed out that 9 healthy balanced diet and regular exercise can help teenagers to stay energetic and fit. Besides, living well is the safest and most 10 (effect) way to get into shape. 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 You already know that smoking is bad for you and that drinking too much alcohol may 1 (short) your life. Now a new study says that spending too much time in a chair and not having enough sleep should join a short list of behaviors 2 (know) to increase your risk of premature death. Sitting for a long time and lack of sleep were damaging in their own way, but when combined with more traditional risk factors, 3 had a multiplier effect that made an early death far more likely. The findings, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, make clear that “some risk behaviors tend to come together and 4 the joint risk could be much higher than the sum of the individual risks”. For instance, smoking was the most dangerous risk factor among the six studied. The small number of people for 5 smoking was their only bad habit were 90 percent more likely to die during the course of the study than were people with practiced clean living in every aspect. People who reported high alcohol 6 (consume) as their only risk factor did not seem to put their lives in danger. But for those who combined heavy drinking with smoking, the risk of premature death was doubled. And when lack of sleep 7 (add) to the mix, the likelihood of an early death was nearly five times 8 (great) even though lack of sleep by itself had only a light effect 9 death. Considering factors such as age, gender, education and other factors, the researchers saw 10 clear pattern. It was a person’s bad lifestyle that contributed to his or her risk of premature death. 二、阅读理解 Summer School for Teenagers As the UK’s Top-ranked Multi-campus Summer School, we ensure that we will deliver an outstanding summer experience in a multi-national, fun, and secure setting.

If you thought that your child’s academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of many factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factors’ is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly. According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic (有氧的) exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain. The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth. The growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety. It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted, Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. 1．What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades? A．Child’s High IQ. B．A good environment. C．Physical health. D．The hours spent on learning. 2．Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memory? A．Regular aerobic exercise. B．Balance exercise. C．Muscle exercise. D．Resistance training. 3．How does exercise influence thinking indirectly? A．By releasing growth factors in large numbers. B．By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. C．By affecting the survival of new brain cells. D．By improving a person’s mood and sleep quality. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Mental health should never be ignored. B．Physical education class is really a good option. C．Exercise may contribute to good academic grades. D．Different exercises have different results on the brain. Felicia’s father Herminio, in Florida, has to rely on dialysis (透析) to keep him alive as he waits for a kidney donation (捐赠). The poor man is battling stage-5 kidney disease, and has to have a transplant (移植). Felicia noted that she and her father had always been close, even after she moved to Kansas when she was 13 years old. She added that the distance between them had become especially difficult because of his illness. The waiting list could take months. Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation. “It’s so amazing to me that I can help save a life — and it’s my dad’s,” Felicia said. The father-daughter duo (二人组) are currently going through the final stages of tests to make sure that she can proceed (继续进行) with the organ donation. While Felicia’s donation will most likely save her father’s life, the family have to face another problem. Herminio’s insurance (保险) will cover the expenses of his surgery but not the additional costs for his medication and recovery. Felicia and her family created the GoFundMe page in hopes of raising $30,000 for the expenses not covered by Herminio’s insurance. The page states that Herminio needs at least $8,000 worth of emergency (紧急情况) medications before the surgery. He will also require expensive medications after the surgery (外科手术), Meanwhile, Felicia, who is also a parent and doesn’t have a high salary, will need money to travel, pay her bills and find childcare for her son while she recovers. “I cannot wait to get through the rest of these tests to know for sure that I can do this and I can save him. I will be heart-broken if he’s not going to get the transplant,” she said. “I’m going to be the one who’s going to do it, and I’m going all the way — in 100 percent, full force.” 1．What do you know about Herminio? A．He lives together with his daughter. B．He has divorced his wife. C．He is suffering from kidney problems. D．He is recovering from a serious disease. 2．What did Felicia want to do? A．To wait for an organ donation B．To donate a life-saving kidney to her father. C．To support her father financially D．To take care of her father in hospital 3．Felicia can be best described as ________. A．strong and brave B．selfless and determined C．rich and generous D．hard-working and creative 4．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Poor Family B．An Expensive Surgery C．A Deadly Disease D．A Priceless Gift The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping hamburgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 1．What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean?

B．A bond between the author and her mother. C．A shift in the author’s outlook on pressure. D．A link to the author’s academic performance. 4．What does the author mean by saying “reaching for the moon”? A．She will be unbeatable. B．She will continue to aim high. C．She has achieved all her goals. D．She has a passion for astronomy. My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon,” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes. The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs Loggia,” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.” My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece (侄女). 1．Who is the author’s daughter? A．Lillian. B．Donna. C．Judy. D．Laura. 2．The underlined words in the first paragraph “to bring her out of her shell” mean ________.

However, a recent study found Americans who completed college or university are more likely to have friends and are less lonely than those who only finished high school. Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life, said that in general Americans are experiencing a “friend recession”, meaning a decline in their number of friends. Cox noted, “Americans have fewer close friends today than we did in the early 1990s. But men and those without a college degree are particularly affected because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic decline over that period.” The Center questioned 5, 054 people this past summer. It found Americans with a college degree feel more socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didn’t go to college. As a result, those who completed college report feeling less lonely. Previous research showed that Americans who didn’t go to college are less likely to marry. A 2012 study found that college-educated women are much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school. A 2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who didn’t finish high school are less likely to marry than those with more education. Today, 65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married. About 50 percent of people with a high school diploma, or who dropped out of high school, are married. Those numbers were different in 1990, when marriage rates among the college graduates were at 69 percent, compared with 63 percent for those who did not go to college, says a Pew research report. The American Community Life Survey found around 1 in 10 college graduates say they have no close social connections. That number rises among Americans without a degree, where almost 1 in 4 say they have no close friends. 1．When was the study carried out according to the passage? A．When psychological problems arose sharply. B．When the number of college graduates declined. C．When Americans experienced a friend recession. D．When concerns about college costs appeared. 2．Why are some studies mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To provide evidence for the research. B．To analyze the reasons for loneliness. C．To show the importance of marriage. D．To compare differences in generations. 3．In which column of a magazine may this passage appear? A．Entertainment. B．Education. C．Technology. D．Health. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Social problems in the American society. B．Reasons for Americans’ low marriage rates. C．Links between education and social interaction. D．Discussions about whether to get a college degree. There’s a large number of questions and concerns about the appearance of eggs. Any slight cloud, strange white wrinkles, different colored shell, or red spots, and we take pause. In fact, they’re all perfectly safe to eat, and don’t even substantially change the taste. One odd occurrence: Seeing a completely white or incredibly light-yellow yolk (蛋黄). Often, it is enough to drive you to Google search or call your mom to double-check if it’s OK to consume. The good news is that you don’t need to throw away that fried egg from the pan. Coming across a white yolk is perfectly natural, though it’s a little rare in the United States. The color of your egg yolk depends on the feed of the chickens. In the U. S. , chickens typically eat a diet of yellow corn, and the pigments (色素) from the plant make their way into the egg yolks. Those pigments are also what give chicken skin and fat its yellowish color. If the chicken happens to eat more white corn than yellow, the yolk will be paler as well. If you’ve traveled overseas, you’ve probably noticed that the color of yolks varies widely across the globe. Again. this difference comes down to what the chickens are eating. In many African countries, for example, chickens typically have a diet of mostly sorghum, a grain with much less yellow pigmentation than yellow corn, resulting in lighter. or completely white yolks. In South American countries, you will notice pink, blood orange. or almost reddish yolks, because their chicken feed is rich in red seeds. In the U. S. , many people falsely associate darker yolks with happier hens or higher nutrition. Farmers can easily manipulate the chicken feed to include carrots, alfalfa (苜蓿) powder, or red seeds to determine the color of their chickens’ eggs. 1．Why are people so concerned about the appearance of eggs? A．It affects the prices. B．It is related to food safety. C．It is linked with their nutrition. D．It determines the color of yolk. 2．How do people find a white yolk according to Paragraph 2? A．Abnormal. B．Delicious. C．Fresh. D．Natural. 3．What affects the color of the egg yolk most? A．The food hens eat. B．The color of the hens. C．The type of the hens. D．The freshness of the eggs. 4．Why do farmers add alfalfa powder or red seeds to the feed of chickens? A．To cut down the farm costs. B．To make their eggs easily preserved. C．To promote their eggs’ attraction. D．To improve the health of chickens. I learnt an important lesson from one of my patients. When I first met Linda, she was only six years old, beautiful and energetic. She had an accident when she fell into the fire on a camping trip, leaving30%of her skin surface damaged. Linda would require several weeks in the hospital and three additional surgeries. Between each operation, nurses daily took her for disinfection (消毒). Overnight, the dressings (敷料) would stick to the wound and have to be pulled away. Each step was more painful for Linda than the previous one. For an adult, the agonizing (折磨人的) pain and daily fear prove overwhelming. For a child, it has an impact forever. Linda’s life would never be the same. I took care of Linda for the next several years, treating her scars and freeing areas of tightness in her face and neck. Over that time, her scars faded and her appearance improved significantly. Eventually, her family moved away and I lost track of her. Years later, at a national meeting, I ran into a plastic surgeon I knew who told me he had met a former patient of mine. It was Linda. She was doing extremely well and she was his colleague and not his patient. Linda had become a nurse and worked with him in a burn unit. She was the nurse the patients most often asked to clean their wounds and change their dressings. Her compassion (同情心) and her courage in returning to a burn unit inspired their confidence and reduced their fears. Linda turned her pain into compassion. She devoted every day of her life towards helping others overcome their pain. Physicians can be frustrated and overwhelmed when we don’t have enough time in a day to complete everything we need to do. Linda taught me the importance of slowing down. Among the best gifts we, as physicians, can give our patients, whether in the exam room or at the bedside in the hospital, is to take the time to show the compassion we feel. 1．Which of the following words can best describe Linda according to the story? A．Outspoken. B．Well-behaved. C．Painful. D．Strong-minded. 2．What step could cause unbearable pain for Linda? A．Pulling away the dressings. B．Going through disinfection. C．Treating the scars. D．Freeing the areas of tightness. 3．What can help doctors reduce their patients’ fears according to the passage? A．Experience. B．Patience. C．Compassion. D．Friendliness. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Linda was thankful for the author’s compassion. B．Linda was mostly trusted by her colleagues. C．Linda’s experience led her to be a nurse. D．Gifts make patients confident in operations. We all love eating out. But, is it bothering you because you are on a diet and have to dine with a friend? Sure, you will be concerned about the amount of calories, fat or salt in a restaurant’s menu items. 112 Choose the right place. Always plan ahead when you know that you have to dine out. Look for the restaurants that serve delicious meals that are low in fat. 1 You’re more likely to overeat there. Once you’ve decided the place, get familiar with their food menu.Decide what you’re going to order before you go. Start with a soup. One easy approach to stick to your diet when eating out is starting with a soup. 2 This will keep you from sitting hungry and filling you up. A soup is the first course that you order when eating out. 3 Salt improves food’s flavour and is often used heavily in restaurant meals. When you dine out, ask the attendant to prepare food without added salt. Ask about the ingredients to see if there are items that may be higher in salt. Moreover, it is better to limit the use of condiments (调料) such as mustard, ketchup, pickle and sauces as they may contain salt that you don’t need. Instead of salty appetisers (开胃小吃), choose fruit and vegetable salad. Don’t eat it all. 4 To avoid overeating, you can split a meal with a companion or put half the meal in a plate and leave the rest. Sticking to a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to turn down everyone’s offer when asked to eat out. A．You have to be very particular about serving sizes when dining out. B．Just make sure you make healthier choices. C．Avoid eating at places that offer all-you-can-eat buffets (自助餐). D．Here are four tips for eating out while you are on a diet. E．Cut the salt intake. F．Avoid eating too much. G．Order vegetable or bean-based but avoid cream-based soups. How to avoid fighting with your family on your summer vacation? If you have a trip coming up on this summer vacation and are concerned there’s going to be an intergenerational blow-up (发脾气), don’t worry. 117 Think about what gets you upset ahead of time. 1 For instance, when your cousin often does that thing where he goes on and on about how much money he makes. Research shows that when you have low expectations of another person’s behavior, you’re more likely to give them a pass when they act in an annoying or problematic way. 2 To avoid feeling stuck in a shitty situation, Lucas suggests coming prepared with an escape plan. “Figure out how you can exit the environment and get time with yourself” if you unexpectedly get triggered, he suggests. Go to work out in the fitness room for a half hour; camp out at a nearby coffee shop; take yourself on a solo walk. 3 If your relative isn’t buying your excuse, say you need to grab a new room key, use the bathroom, or want to check out the temperature of the ocean. Have an exit strategy. If so, you don’t collapse (like you have in the past) when you butt heads with a family member. Space can allow you to slow down and tend to your own emotions and needs. 4 So you can have more patience and tolerance for your relatives (and all the shitty things they do) when you rejoin them. A．Have an escape plan. B．Or pretend you need to take a nap. C．Family vacations are always full of unexpected surprises. D．Here are some strategies that can help you keep a cool head. E．You should communicate your feelings with your family members. F．Being aware of the potential conflicts that lie ahead can soften the blow. G．When you can physically remove yourself from a stressful situation, you can reset. It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box. 122 1 If you assume all students learn in the same way, you are absolutely wrong. As teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student. Determine if they have trouble sitting still. Examine how they learn the best—are they auditory (听觉的) learners, visual learners, or physical learners? Use the knowledge to structure your lesson plans. Get involved in your students’ learning. When the students are studying or taking part in an educational activity, join in. It allows you to model study habits and the feeling of joy when learning something new. 2 ，they will assume that the activity is simply not worth your time. Create hands-on learning opportunities. Students remember information better when both their hands and brains are busy. 3 . For example, you can group students by interests and provide them with activities that let them explore a topic in a way that engage them. The active, auditory and visual learners will benefit much in the progress. 4 When students are placed in charge of their own learning and the learning of others, they are encouraged to learn the material as thoroughly as possible. So have students work in pairs or small groups. Instead of asking you for help, they will rely on each other or solve any problem they meet with. A．If they suspect that you did not enjoy the activity B．Structure students’ learning plan to meet their needs C．Provide students with opportunities to teach each other D．Promote independent and self-paced learning for everyone E．Catch their attention with individualized and creative methods F．If they don’t find any pleasure while getting involved in the activity G．This is accomplished by activities that require students to talk, listen and move 三、完形填空 Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet.

She was 1 10 years old. The next 6 months were 2 : she experienced countless treatments, gradually knowing it was serious. Unable to 3 school during these 6 months, Keira was allowed to visit her Grade 5 class on a few occasions. She had lost much of her hair during 4 . And she had to wear a winter cap whenever we 5 . Keira wasn’t sure what would 6 during her first visit and was feeling increasingly anxious as we 7 the school. When Keira and I walked slowly into the room in the early morning, what we 8 was simply unforgettable: every single student in the room was wearing a cap with their hair fully inside.

But the 172 thing is that the French, who consume rich (油腻的) food too, 173 to stay slim. Now the 174 by Cornell University suggests 175 lifestyle and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel 176 . However, Americans tend to stop when their 177 are empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating 178 an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and therefore spend a 179 time at the table, while Americans think eating is 180 to be squeezed in between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans 181 the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and 182 foods for the week. The French tend to shop daily 183 , walking to small shops or farmers’ markets where they have a 184 of fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle 185 may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity (肥胖) — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6 percent. However, as American fast food gains 186 and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17 percent and is still growing. 1．A．present B．natural C．strange D．modern 2．A．continue B．move C．try D．expand 3．A．research B．novel C．book D．newspaper 4．A．where B．why C．how D．when 5．A．sensitive B．sad C．happy D．full 6．A．pockets B．refrigerators C．houses D．plates 7．A．into B．as C．inside D．to 8．A．fairly long B．fairly short C．very exciting D．rather fast 9．A．anything B．something C．everything D．nothing 10．A．get B．bring C．lose D．receive 11．A．hot B．cool C．warm D．frozen 12．A．therefore B．instead C．however D．merely 13．A．choice B．message C．taste D．number 14．A．examples B．traditions C．changes D．stories 15．A．failure B．success C．acceptance D．rejection 四、书信写作 1．假定你是李华，你校英语校报编辑正在就“Healthy Lifestyle”这一主题面向全体学生征稿。请你根据以下内容给编辑写一封信。 写作要点： 1. 指出不良习惯：熬夜玩手机； 2. 做出决定； 3. 提出具体行动； 4. 表达预期结果。 注意：1. 要点齐全，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Li Hua 2．假如你是李华，你的同学Lucy发现被好朋友欺骗了，很是苦恼，不知道还该不该继续她们的友谊。于是她向你询问“什么是真正的朋友？”，请你根据下面的提示给她写一封电子邮件。 2．真正朋友的特点是：…… 3．学着去了解别人，找到真正的好朋友； 4．表达祝愿。 注意： 5．词数80左右； 6．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 7．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3．假如你是李华，你的朋友Robert因为琐事与父亲发生了争吵，好几天没有说话。为此他感到非常苦恼，不知如何是好。请你表达安慰并提供建议。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Robert, I’m sorry to hear that _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 4．假定你是广西某校学生李华，你的澳大利亚交换生好友Doris写信向你请教如何平衡学习与爱好。请你给她写一封回信，内容包括： 1.表示理解； 2.给出建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Doris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 5．假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Chris给你发来邮件，提到他最近因为学业压力大，经常感到焦虑和疲惫，甚至影响了睡眠。请你给他回复一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1. 表示理解并关心他的状况； 2. 提出至少两条具体、可行的建议； 3. 表达你的祝愿。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 请按如下格式在答题卡上作答。 Dear Chris, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 6．假如你是高一新生李华，新学期开学两个月了，你的英语老师要求你在英语课上用英语和同学们交流一下你到新学校后的感受。交流内容包括以下要点： 1. 校园环境和教学设施； 2. 师生给你的印象； 3. 对未来的希望。 注意： 1. 词数100词左右； 2. 文章的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数； 3. 内容可适当发挥，要注意行文连贯； 4. 本部分请作答于答题卷2； 5. 请勿涉及真实个人信息(如班级、人名等)。 Hello, everyone.

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 注意： 2．续写词数应为250个左右； 3．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的短文。 “Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and of course a cake with 16 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned 16 and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn’t only get you this because you turned sixteen, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades. ” “Of course, I will.” I said confidently. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn’t get caught using it. I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign (签字) the test. It was hard to show my mom the test paper. She was used to seeing A’s and B’s on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn’t believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。 3.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, I went to the teacher’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
