When we met, I saw her as an unhappy, misunderstood woman who hadn't been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her job and family life were in trouble. I try to listen to her and to my joy. SHE responded so positively to being heard. I thought we had a good start. Later, her medical reports arrived, and to my great surprise in the record, her mental problem was very serious, and her previous doctors regarded her case as being hopeful, as I decided to ignore those reports and never treated her as if he had a hopeless situation, things improved greatly. Listening to my suggestions, ross found a new job and lived away from her troubled family. One day, SHE even told me that he met a lovely guy. The man later became her husband after two years. Finally, when we finished the treatment, ross said me a note that said, thank you for trusting me.

语法填空
(61) were解析: 主语 "my teenage years"(我的青少年时期)是复数,且描述的是过去(回看)的一段时间,因此 be 动词用一般过去时的复数形式 were。
(62) entered解析: "When" 引导的时间状语从句描述过去的特定事件,动词需用一般过去时。entered 是 enter 的过去式。
(63) speaking解析: 介词 of 后面需要接名词或动名词作宾语。the thought of... 表示"...的想法",speaking 在此作动名词。
(64) handed 解析: 叙述过去发生的具体动作,用一般过去时。handed 是 hand 的过去式。
(65) to say解析: 本题考查 "have something to do" 结构,意为"有某事要做"。不定式 to say 在这里作后置定语,修饰 "something",表示"要说的话"。
(66) standing解析: 动词 remember 后接动名词 (doing) 表示"记得做过某事"。此处是回忆"站在门外"这个过去的动作,因此用 standing。
(67) to open解析: 本题考查 "too + 形容词 + to do" 固定结构,意为"太...以至于不能..."。此处意为"紧张得不敢开门",因此填不定式 to open。
(68) had given解析: "By the time I graduated"(到我毕业时)是一个明确的过去时间点,表示"毕业"之前已经完成的动作(做了超过20次演讲),需用过去完成时 (had + 过去分词)。give 的过去分词是 given。
(69) taught / has taught解析:
aught (一般过去时):强调"教导"这个动作发生在过去。
has taught (现在完成时):强调过去发生的动作对现在产生的影响和结果(即我现在仍懂得这个道理)。
两者在上下文都可接受,taught 更侧重单纯叙述过去,has taught 则更突出与现在的关联。
(70) grow解析: 本题考查强调句型 It is... that... 中的时态。主句描述一个普遍的真理或客观事实,因此从句谓语动词用一般现在时 grow。

续写
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly he had an idea. He fumbled in his drawers and fortunately found a piece of delicate and fragrant paper. He sat down straight on his chair, and began to write a letter in his best handwriting as a Mother's Day present. "Dear Mom, I'm writing this to tell you that you are the best mother in the world..." With a sincere heart, Jim finished the letter and sealed it in an envelope, his lips curving into a smile.
Paragraph 2:
The next morning Jim handed his present to his mom. Finishing reading the letter, his mom swept him into her arms with her eyes wet as if she wanted to squeeze the breath out of him. "Thank you, my dear!" She sniffled, hugging Jim more tightly. Leaning against his mom's shoulder, Jim slowly explained why he chose to write a letter as a gift. After hearing the reason, his mom gently combed her fingers through his hair, saying, "To me, your letter is better than a thousand shopping sprees." Indeed, love should be made known to loved ones.
【分析】
本文是一篇读后续写。
【详解】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小男孩Jim怎么才能不花钱给妈妈送母亲节礼物,这时,他在报纸上看到一则广告—-告诉我们你妈妈的特别之处,为她赢得一个购物狂欢。Jim立刻行动,写下妈妈的特别之处,然后邮寄出去,Jim焦急地等着结果。以此来续写下面的故事。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:突然,他有了一个主意。所以这一段应该写吉姆给他母亲写了一封信作为母亲节的礼物。要详细描写信件的内容。第二段开头是:第二天早上,吉姆把他的礼物交给了他的妈妈。这一段主要写妈妈在读完信件的反应以及吉姆解释了写信的原因。

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting(推广) education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness(意识) of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. The simple act put Parks in prison.

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Victor did not want to leave his family because his mother died not long before.
B.Elizabeth married shortly after Victor’s mother died.
C.Elizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help.
D.Victor’s mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth.
25.Victor did all the following during his research in the university EXCEPT that .
A.he discovered many things and built a scientific machine
B.he learnt much about death both in the hospitals and in the university
C.he built a tall mast to catch lightning and send the electricity down to the lab
D.he worked hard and took only one day’s holiday during the next two years
26.According to the author, the secret of life is to .
A.use electricity to cure diseases
B.build the best machine to learn about death
C.become the greatest scientist of tomorrow
D.give life to things that were dead by using electricity
27.Which is the correct order about the life of Victor?
① Victor’s mother passed away.
② Victor got help from the professor and other scientists.
③ Victor went to university and attended the professor’s talk.
④ Victor found the answer to giving life to things that were dead.
⑤ Victor experienced a storm, seeing the lightning destroying the tree.

“Sometimes you just get a strict teacher. Instead of letting others know that this isn’t your favorite class, make an effort to show your teacher you are doing your best.”
—Jocelyn Howard, 16
“Learn to put your activities in order of importance. School comes first, and if you just study as soon as you get home, it’s OK. You can also relax and play computers or do other things you enjoy. But don’t lose yourself in just getting by. Try hard! And don’t be afraid to get help from teachers.”
—April Madlangbanyan, 17
“If you have trouble getting along with a specific teacher, pray about it. Ask God to help you see that teacher through HIS EYES, not your own. And talk with that teacher. Good communication can strengthen any relationship—even with a hard-to-get-along-with teacher.”
—Lisa Shaw, 21
“Being a good student means being organized. Remember to bring all your supplies, everything to each class every day. Make sure that you’ll never skip (逃) class. And when you're in class, really pay attention! Don’t let yourself daydream or write notes to friends. Completing your homework on time is also important.”
—Victoria Walsh, 16
“When you’re having trouble getting along with a certain teacher, stay calm! You may not agree with him or her, but you’ve got to remember the teacher is the authority (权威) figure. So make sure that you’re respectful and open-minded. Ask for a specific time when the two of you can talk. Explain yourself and address (探讨) the problem, not the teacher.”
—Amanda Baken, 18
“Being a good student means studying often, not just cramming (填鸭式的用功) before a test. Identify (识别) your weak areas. For example, maybe you don’t have good reading skills or it’s hard for you to take notes. Once you identify what your weakness is, ask for help in these specific areas. Be willing to go in early or stay after school to get extra help. Go into the school year knowing that being a good student will require time and effort!”
—Tiffany Irving, 20

The world’s first fully electric plane has flown successfully for almost 15 minutes. The world’s first fully electric commercial aircraft took its first test flight on Tuesday, taking off from the Canadian city of Vancouver and offering hope that airlines may one day end their polluting emissions.
“This proves that commercial airmail in all-electric form can work,” said Roei Ganzarski, CEO of Seattle-based engineering firm MagniX. The company designed the plane’s motor and worked in partnership with Harbour Air, which carries half a million passengers a year between Vancouver, Whistler ski resort and nearby islands and coastal communities. Ganzarski said the technology would mean significant cost savings for airlines—not to mention zero emissions. “This signifies the start of the electric airmail age,” he told reporters.
Civil airmail is one of the fastest growing sources of carbon emissions as people increasingly take to the skies and new technologies have been slow to make remarkable progress. At 285 grammes of CO2 emitted per kilometre (mile) travelled by each passenger, airline industry emissions far exceed those from all other transport, according to the European Environment Agency.
The e-plane—a 62-year-old, six-passenger DHC –2 de Havilland Beaver seaplane improved on with an electric motor—was piloted by Greg McDougall, founder and CEO of Harbour Air. “For me that flight was just like flying a Beaver, but it was a Beaver on electric steroids (电动兴奋剂). I actually had to turn off the power button,” he said. McDougall took the plane in a short circle along the Fraser River near Vancouver International Airport in front of around 100 onlookers soon after sunrise.
32. What can we know from the first fully electric plane’s success?
A. The flying time of e-plane is 15 minutes at most.
B. The fully electric commercial airmail has functioned.
C. Airlines may realize the goal of zero emissions.
D. The fully electric plane never does damage to the environment.
33. What does the underlined word “signifies” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Means. B. Proves. C. Changes. D. Follows.
34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The pollution caused by passengers. B. The backward airmail technology.
C. The current situation of civil airmail. D. The growing sources of carbon emissions.
35. What is Greg McDougall’s attitude towards the successful e-plane?
A. Shocked. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Like many other holidays, Halloween has developed and changed throughout history. Over 2,000 years ago people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern France. 36. They believed that the night before the New Year (October 31) was a time when the living and the dead came together.
More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints Day (also called All Hallows). This was a special day to honor the saints (圣人) and other people who died for their religion. The night before All Hallows was called Hallows Eve.37.
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit the earth on Halloween.38. So on that night people wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil (邪恶的) creatures.They thought if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them.
The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating (移民) Europeans. Some of the traditions changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people would carry lanterns made from turnips (芜菁). 39. So people began putting candles inside pumpkins and using them as lanterns. That is why you see Jack-O-Lanterns.
These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. 40. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say“trick or treat". The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick-or-treater.
A.It is mainly a fun day for children.
B.The lanterns can look funny or scary.
C.November I was their New Year's Day.
D.Later the name was changed to Halloween.
E.In America, pumpkins were more common.
F.Wearing costumes was said to be a good way to defeat evils.
G They worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them.

im slumped on the couch. Mother's Day was coming up, and he didn't have a present. "How can I buy a present without any money?" he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. "Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her," said the ad.
"This is perfect!" thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
"My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom."
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), "Mom will love having a shopping spree," he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother's day. Jim still hadn't heard anything about the contest.
"What am I going to do now?" he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn't have a shopping spree, and he still didn't have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly he had an idea.
