Passage 1
Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期待) of their children. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced (强迫) to fulfill the dreams that their parents have planned for them.
In my opinion, there are two sides to parents’ expectations. Some expectations can help children to work harder for a better life. However, others can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Some of parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom and encourage (鼓励) them to do what they like to do.
My parents’ expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure (压力) on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents’ expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. In this way, their children will not lose their self-confidence.
16. What does the underlined word “fulfill” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?
A. 补充 B. 放弃 C. 改变 D. 实现
17. The writer’s parents expect him to ________.
A. make a lot of money B. be happy, kind and healthy
C. lose self-confidence D. become a successful person
18. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Parents should encourage children to do what they like to do.
B. All parents’ expectations are good for the growth of children.
C. Parents’ expectations are unnecessary according to the writer.
D. Parents’ expectations always make children have more freedom.
19. The text is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers B. doctors C. parents D. children
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讨论了父母应如何合理设置对孩子的期望。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“They live a planned life and…that their parents have planned for them.”可知他们过着有计划的生活,被迫实现父母计划好的梦想,可推测fulfill意为“实现”。故选D。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据“My parents’ expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy”可知,父母对作者的期望是快乐、善良和健康。故选B。
【18题详解】

She just kept ____41____ (think), “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes ____42____ (make) careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is ____43____ (good) not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks ____44____ first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like ____45____ (he).

It is Saturday, but I go to school as usual. I go to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week.

It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold, too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.

Ⅶ.翻译句子(共10分,每小题2分)
50. 你长大后想做什么?
___________________________________________________________?
【答案】What do you want to be when you grow up
【解析】
【详解】结合中文提示及标点符号可知,该句为what引导的特殊疑问句,其结构为“what+助动词/be动词+主语+谓语动词(+其他)”,且时态为一般现在时。what“什么”,引导特殊疑问句,且句首首字母大写;you“你”,代词主格作主句和从句中的主语;该句旨在询问长大后的职业,应用be指代职业身份,与中文“当/做”的功能完全匹配,“want to be”意为“想成为/当”,为动词短语,且主句主语you为第二人称,助动词应用do,其后应用want的动词原形;when“在……之后”,引导时间状语从句;grow up“长大”,动词短语,且从句主语you为第二人称,应用其动词原形作从句中的谓语。故填What do you want to be when you grow up。
51. 学生们反复地唱那首歌。
____________________________________________________________
【答案】Students sang the song over and over again.
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语意思可知,本句为一般过去时态。“学生们”英文为“Students”;“反复地”英文为“over and over again”;“唱”英文为“sang”;“那首歌”英文为“the song”。故填Students sang the song over and over again.
52. 我期盼着再次见到你。
____________________________________________________________
【答案】I look forward to seeing you again.
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语意思可知,本句时态为一般现在时,表示当前的期望。“我”英文为“I”,作主语;“期盼着”翻译为“look forward to”,是固定短语,作谓语;“再次见到你”翻译为“seeing you again”,是动名词短语作“to”的宾语,其中“seeing”意为“见到”,“you”作宾语,“again”作状语。故填I look forward to seeing you again.
53. 如果你们参加聚会,将玩的很开心。
____________________________________________________________
【答案】If you attend the party, you will have a great time.
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语意思可知,本句为含条件状语从句的复合句,主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表示将来。“如果你们参加聚会”英文为“If you attend the party”,是由“If”引导的条件状语从句,“you”作从句主语,“attend”意为“参加”,作从句谓语,“the party”作宾语;“将玩的很开心”翻译为“you will have a great time”,是主句部分,“you”作主语,“will have”是一般将来时结构,“a great time”是固定短语,意为“开心时光”。故填If you attend the party, you will have a great time.
54. 他们是多么好的人啊!
____________________________________________________________!
【答案】What nice people they are!
【解析】
【详解】结合语境可知,这句话为感叹句,结构为“What+形容词+可数名词复数+主谓!”,强调人的品质,“好的人”对应“nice people”,主语“they”是复数,谓语动词用“are”。故填What nice people they are!

【答案】例文
Hi Robert,
We had a party at 3:00 p.m. last Sunday. It was held in the hall. Almost all classmates joined in and even our head teacher came to share the fun with us.
At the party, some girls danced to popular songs, and a few boys played the guitar and sang. I made a speech—everyone clapped loudly when I finished, which made me really proud. We also ate delicious snacks like cookies and fruit salad that our classmates brought. We laughed and chatted a lot, talking about our interesting experiences in the past term. I felt so warm and happy because it made our class closer.
It was such a great day that I wanted to share it with you right away.

第一节 阅读短文,根据其内容从文后A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Passage 1
Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期待) of their children. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced (强迫) to fulfill the dreams that their parents have planned for them.
In my opinion, there are two sides to parents’ expectations. Some expectations can help children to work harder for a better life. However, others can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Some of parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom and encourage (鼓励) them to do what they like to do.
My parents’ expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure (压力) on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents’ expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. In this way, their children will not lose their self-confidence.
16 What does the underlined word “fulfill” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?
A. 补充 B. 放弃 C. 改变 D. 实现
17. The writer’s parents expect him to ________.
A. make a lot of money B. be happy, kind and healthy
C. lose self-confidence D. become a successful person
18. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Parents should encourage children to do what they like to do.
B All parents’ expectations are good for the growth of children.
C. Parents’ expectations are unnecessary according to the writer.
D. Parents’ expectations always make children have more freedom.
19. The text is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers B. doctors C. parents D. children

When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. ____32____ Over 90 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. ____33____ In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
____34____ One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ____35____ But everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?

Ⅴ.语篇填空(共10分,每小题1分)
阅读短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空,使短文通顺、连贯。
Students these days often have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do ____36____ this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and ____37____ (worry) are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll ____38____ (certain) feel worse.”
Laura once lost her wallet, and worried ____39____ days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day ____40____ she didn’t have any money. She just kept ____41____ (think), “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes ____42____ (make) careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is ____43____ (good) not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks ____44____ first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like ____45____ (he). Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!

It is Saturday, but I go to school as usual. I go to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week.
The practice starts at 10 a. m. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team beat (打败) us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold, too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.
Our coach (教练) is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we are training more carefully. That means we have a better chance (机会) of winning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer (欢呼) us on loudly and we feel more confident (自信的) to win the game.
