One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat beside her.

I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months, my father still couldn’t walk by himself.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up (奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly I try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.
I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreements from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start, so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.
I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects or events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest expectations placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I’m fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.
33. Why does the author (作者) want to be EHS Vice President?
A. He is very good at English. B. He has a talent for leadership.
C. He is very willing to help others. D. He thinks he is fit for the position.

A. The author and Jordan can work well together. B. The author and Jordan are good friends.
C. Jordan often quarrels with the author. D. Communication is very important for friends.
35. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Being EHS Vice President. B. Being always together.
C. Communicating with each other. D. Having good ideas.
36. What can we know about EHS?
A. It is short for “Honor Society”. B. It is a club related to English.

We may know that there are four basic (基本的) periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process (变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击).
Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”. This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the “adjustment (调整) period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor (善于求生者).
The fourth period can be called “at ease (安逸) at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with t hem. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.
37. According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you __________.
A. get married to a foreigner B. live in a big city
C. go to live in a foreign country D. meet foreigners in your motherland
38. During the first period of the process, you feel __________.
A. sad and lonely B. happy and excited
C. angry but strong D. easy but uncomfortable
39. You will find that you are a survivor in __________.
A. the 1st period B. the 2nd period C. the 3rd period D. the 4th period
40. From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. living in another country is fun B. it’s boring to live in another country
C. knowing about culture shock is hard D. it’s not easy to deal with culture shock
【答案】37. C 38. B 39. C 40. D

50. Children ________ (allow) to express what they were thinking in class in ancient China.
【答案】weren’t allowed##were not allowed
【解析】
【详解】句意:在中国古代,孩子们不被允许在课堂上表达他们的想法。根据“in ancient China”可知,此句时态为一般过去时,且主语“Children”与动词“allow”之间是被动关系,表示孩子们不被允许做某事,因此需用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were+动词的过去分词”,主语“Children”是复数,be动词用were,否定形式为were not/weren’t,allow的过去分词为allowed。故填weren’t/were not allowed。

It was still the biggest ____53____ I faced in my education—the freedom to try new things. In my new school, we had so many chances to try new things. I must be responsible (负责任的) because I put myself in such a risk. Finally, it made me ____54____ again. As time went by, I started to ____55____. In fact, none of the education systems in the world are perfect. I am lucky enough to have a chance to bring great value from both systems together. As a result, I’ve built a system for myself.
【答案】51. required
52. was suitable for
53. challenge
54. get into trouble
55. find the balance
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者接受传统教育后进入国际高中,面对新教育体系的挑战,最终学会找到平衡并融合两种教育体系价值的故事。
【51题详解】
句意:我上了公立学校,接受了常规教育,并且被要求像其他每个学生一样遵守规则。根据“follow rules like every other student”及备选词汇可知,是被要求遵守规则,be required to do sth.表示“被要求做某事”。故填required。
【52题详解】
句意:后来,我开始好奇这种教育是否适合我。根据“I began to wonder whether this education...me”及备选词汇可知,是好奇这种教育是否适合自己,“be suitable for”表示“适合”,句子用一般过去时,主语是this education,be动词用was 。故填was suitable for。
【53题详解】
句意:这仍然是我教育生涯中面临的最大挑战——尝试新事物的自由。根据“It was still the biggest...I faced in my education”及备选词汇可知是面临的最大挑战,“challenge”表示“挑战”,根据“It was still the biggest”可知此处用名词单数 。故填challenge。
【54题详解】
句意:最后,这又让我陷入了麻烦。根据“I must be responsible (负责任的) because I put myself in such risk. Finally, it made me...again”及备选词汇可知,把自己置于风险中会让自己陷入麻烦,“get into trouble”表示“陷入麻烦”,make sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事” 。故填get into trouble。
【55题详解】
句意:随着时间的推移,我开始找到平衡。根据“As time went by, I started to...In fact, none of the education systems in the world are perfect.”及备选词汇可知,是随着时间的推移,开始找到平衡,“find the balance”表示“找到平衡”,start to do sth.表示“开始做某事” 。故填find the balance。
五、翻译句子。
56. 一个圆可以分成360等份,每一份叫做一度。
A circle ________ 360 equal parts, each called a degree.
【答案】can be divided into
【解析】
【详解】根据句意可知,此处表示“可以被分成”,用情态动词的被动语态结构“can be divided into”,表示圆具备“被分成360等份”的能力或可能性。故填can be divided into。
57. 这个英汉词典对于学英语的人很有帮助。
The English-Chinese dictionary is _______________ English learners.
【答案】of much help to##of great help to##very helpful to
【解析】
【详解】根据句意可知,此处表示“对……很有帮助”,可用“be of much help to”或“be of great help to”或“be very helpful to”来表达,这些短语都符合语境且语法正确。故填of much help to/of great help to/very helpful to。
58. 最近,她在物理学科方面取得了许多进步。
She _______________ in physics recently.
【答案】has made much progress##has made lots of progress
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文提示可知,此处表达“取得了许多进步”,根据句中“recently”可知,时态应用现在完成时,主语“She”是第三人称单数,助动词用has;make progress取得进步,much/lots of许多,修饰progress,make的过去分词是made。所以应填has made much/lots of progress。
59. 昨天,这个小女孩没有其他办法,只好去找妈妈帮忙。
The little girl ________ ask for her mother’s help yesterday.
【答案】had no choice but to
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“没有其他办法,只好”,用英文固定表达为have no choice but to;句子时间状语为“yesterday”,需使用一般过去时,have的过去式为had。故填had no choice but to。
60. 我需要有人来分担我的烦恼。I need someone ________.
【答案】to share my worries with
【解析】
【详解】根据所给汉语意思可知,空缺处应该填的是“来分担我的烦恼”,share sth with sb表示“和某人分担某事”,需要某人做某事“need sb to do sth”;my worries“我的烦恼”,故填to share my worries with。
六、按要求改写句子。
61. Many people believe that the colour red can bring good luck to us. (改为同义句)
________ ________ that the colour red can bring good luck to us.
【答案】 ①. It’s ②. believed
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多人相信红色能给我们带来好运。改为同义句,应用固定句式:It’s believed that...“人们相信……”,it作形式主语,真正主语是that引导的从句。故填It’s;believed。
62. Perhaps you should let your parents know you need them. (改为同义句)
________ ________ let your parents know you need them?
【答案】 ①. Why ②. not
【解析】
【详解】句意:或许你应该让你的父母知道你需要他们。结合题干可知,改为同义句时,用why not do sth.“为什么不做某事”,用于提出建议。故填Why;not。
63. Andy prefers to wear orange to go for his friend’s birthday party. (改为同义句)
Andy ________ ________ wear orange to go to his friend’s birthday party.
【答案】 ①. would ②. rather
【解析】
【详解】句意:安迪更喜欢穿橙色衣服去参加他朋友的生日聚会。“prefer to do sth.”和“would rather do sth.”都表示“更喜欢做某事”。故填would;rather。
64. Both my sister and I want to go to the party. (改为否定句)
________ my sister ________ I want to go to the party.
【答案】 ①. Neither ②. nor
【解析】
【详解】句意:我姐姐和我都想去参加派对。原句为肯定句,表示两者都想去,改为否定句则表示两者都不想去,需用“neither...nor...”结构来连接两个主语,表示“既不……也不……”,其他部分保持不变。故填Neither;nor。
65. Jack wondered, “Why do I always feel tired in class?” (改为宾语从句)
Jack wondered why ________ always ________ tired in class.
【答案】 ①. he ②. felt
【解析】
【详解】句意:杰克想知道:“为什么我在课堂上总是感到疲倦?”将直接引语“Why do I always feel tired in class?”改为宾语从句时,语序要用陈述句语序,且主语“I”要改为he,指代“Jack”;根据“Jack wondered”可知,时态遵循“主过从必过”。从句用一般过去时,feel要用过去式的felt。故填he;felt。
七、阅读填空。
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词,
This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever, and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder.
The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, got a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.
One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of effort, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels, or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.
But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work, if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring.
You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer—without magic pills or creative medical technology.
How to stop time ____66____ up
The problem
It is not a common truth to anyone who is over 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The ____67____ you get, the faster time races by.
The ____68____ of the problem
When things become usual in our life, it might be ____69____ for you to pay attention to them, and so time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you remember things longer.
____70____ on how to solve the problem
●It takes you a lot of effort to use your brain when trying new things, making you feel that your life is longer and ____71____ more to you.
●Changing something a little can also make a ____72____ to your feelings.
●Learning to meditate helps people ____73____ their concentration and take in more information from boring experiences.
Conclusion
Trust yourself. You can still live a bit more novel life, and experiencing the slow flow of time actually makes your life longer.
Application
The article suggests two ways to make life feel longer: trying new things and learning to meditate.
Which way do you think is better for students like you? Why?
______________74______________
【答案】66. speeding
67. older 68. reason
69. difficult##hard
70. Advice##Suggestions##Tips
71. means 72. difference
73. improve
74. Trying new things, such as a new sport, a different hobby, or even a new way to study, can easily make our lives more interesting. Meditation can be a little difficult for us. We are often busy with homework and exams, and it might be hard to sit still and quiet our minds. Trying new things is more active and fun, which fits a student’s life better.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了随着年龄增长,时间似乎加速流逝的现象,分析了其原因,并提出了通过尝试新事物和学习冥想等解决方案来让生活感觉更长久和有意义。
【66题详解】
根据第一段首句“This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up.”可知,对于任何超过25岁的人来说,时间似乎随着生活的继续而加速流逝,这是一个都心知肚明的另类真相。故填speeding。
【67题详解】
根据第一段中“As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days.”可知,随着年龄的增长,这种效应会变得更糟——对于70多岁的人来说,一年可能就像几天一样一闪而过。因此,年龄越大,时间过得越快。故填older。
【68题详解】
根据第二段首句“The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information.”可知,最好的理由是,当大脑需要处理更多信息时,我们可以记住更重要的事实更长时间。因此,这里是在解释时间加速流逝的原因。故填reason。
【69题详解】
根据第二段中“Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty...but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规).”以及后文的例子可知,当生活中的事情变得平常时,我们可能很难注意到它们,因此时间就悄悄流逝了。故填difficult/hard。
【70题详解】
根据第三段首句“One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things.”和第四段首句“But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine:...That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想).”可知,这里是在给出如何解决时间加速流逝问题的建议或方法。故填Advice/Suggestions/Tips。
【71题详解】
根据第三段中“Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of effort, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful.”可知,尝试新事物和结识新朋友需要付出很多努力,这会让你的生活感觉更长久,对你来说更有意义。故填means。
【72题详解】
根据第三段中“But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.”可知,即使做出一些小的改变,比如改变上班路线、阅读不同类型的小说或选择不同的地方买午餐三明治,也会对你的感觉产生影响。因此,这里是在说小的改变也能带来不同。故填difference。
【73题详解】
根据第四段中“That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, and the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring.”可知,学习冥想可以帮助人们提高专注力,从而在任何经历中吸收更多信息,无论多么无聊。故填improve。
【74题详解】
这是一个开放性问题,答案因人而异。可以根据文章内容和自身情况来回答。例如“尝试新事物,如一项新的运动、一种不同的爱好,甚至是一种新的学习方式,都能很容易地让我们的生活变得更有趣。冥想对我们来说可能有点困难。我们经常忙于作业和考试,很难静坐并让我们的心静下来。尝试新事物更加积极和有趣,更适合学生的生活。”,具体做法可能因个人情况和习惯而有所不同。故填Trying new things, such as a new sport, a different hobby, or even a new way to study, can easily make our lives more interesting. Meditation can be a little difficult for us. We are often busy with homework and exams, and it might be hard to sit still and quiet our minds. Trying new things is more active and fun, which fits a student’s life better.
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词。

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money for my schooling.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat beside her.
“Mum, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, “Susan, look at this thread (线). It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside.”
I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months, my father still couldn’t walk by himself.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.
Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
29. Why are Susan’s parents busy trying to make money?
A To send Susan to school. B. To go to see the doctor.

I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up (奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly I try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.
I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreements from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start, so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.
I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects or events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest expectations placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I’m fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.
33. Why does the author (作者) want to be EHS Vice President?
A. He is very good at English. B. He has a talent for leadership.
C. He is very willing to help others. D. He thinks he is fit for the position.
34. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. The author and Jordan can work well together. B. The author and Jordan are good friends.
C. Jordan often quarrels with the author. D. Communication is very important for friends.
35. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Being EHS Vice President. B. Being always together.
C. Communicating with each other. D. Having good ideas.
36. What can we know about EHS?
A. It is short for “Honor Society”. B. It is a club related to English.
C. It can improve the students’ results. D. It never organizes activities.

We may know that there are four basic (基本的) periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process (变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击).
Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”. This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the “adjustment (调整) period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor (善于求生者).
The fourth period can be called “at ease (安逸) at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with t hem. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.
37. According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you __________.
A. get married to a foreigner B. live in a big city
C. go to live in a foreign country D. meet foreigners in your motherland
38. During the first period of the process, you feel __________.
A. sad and lonely B. happy and excited
C. angry but strong D. easy but uncomfortable
39. You will find that you are a survivor in __________.
A the 1st period B. the 2nd period C. the 3rd period D. the 4th period
40. From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. living in another country is fun B. it’s boring to live in another country
C. knowing about culture shock is hard D. it’s not easy to deal with culture shock

This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever, and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder.
The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, got a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.
One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of effort, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels, or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.
But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work, if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring.
You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer—without magic pills or creative medical technology.
How to stop time ____66____ up
The problem
It is not a common truth to anyone who is over 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The ____67____ you get, the faster time races by.
The ____68____ of the problem
When things become usual in our life, it might be ____69____ for you to pay attention to them, and so time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you remember things longer.
____70____ on how to solve the problem
●It takes you a lot of effort to use your brain when trying new things, making you feel that your life is longer and ____71____ more to you.
●Changing something a little can also make a ____72____ to your feelings.
●Learning to meditate helps people ____73____ their concentration and take in more information from boring experiences.
Conclusion
Trust yourself. You can still live a bit more novel life, and experiencing the slow flow of time actually makes your life longer.
Application
The article suggests two ways to make life feel longer: trying new things and learning to meditate.
Which way do you think is better for students like you? Why?
