Ⅰ.阅读理解
An eightyearold child heard her parents talking about her little brother.All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money for a very expensive operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want? ” asked the salesman.“It's for my brother,Andrew.” the girl answered.“He has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell a miracle here,child.I'm sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen,if it isn't enough,I can try and get some more.Just tell me how much it costs.”
A welldressed man heard it and asked,“What kind of miracle does your brother need? ”
“I don't know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears.“He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation.But my daddy can't pay for it,so I've brought all my money.”
“How much do you have? ” asked the man.
“$1.11,but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well,what luck,” smiled the man.“$1.11,the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl's hand and said,“Take me to your house.I want to see your brother.Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That welldressed man was Dr.Carlton Armstrong,a famous doctor.The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了学习语言要注意的四件事。首先,我们必须能听懂这门语言;其次,我们必须要有自信地说这种语言;再次,我们必须要读这种语言;最后,我们还要会写这种语言。
1.解析 考查代词。句意:首先,当我们听到语言时,我们必须理解它。根据主句中出现的the language可以判断从句中hear的宾语是上文出现的language一词,故用it来代替。
答案 it
2.解析 考查序数词。句意:第三,我们必须能够读这种语言,第四,我们必须能够写这种语言。根据上文出现的Firstly,Secondly等内容可以判断此处是指第三项内容,故填Thirdly。
答案 Thirdly
3.解析 考查介词。句意:语言学习没有捷径可走。根据句意可知此处指在语言学习方面没有通向成功的捷径,“在哪方面成功”应该用介词in,故填in。
答案 in
4.解析 考查冠词。句意:良好的记忆力是很有帮助的,但仅仅记住语法书上的规则是不够的。memory指“好的记忆力”时,是可数名词,用不定冠词a表示泛指。故填A。
答案 A
5.解析 考查非谓语动词。参见上一题解析。此处是it is+adj.+to do 结构,在句中it是形式主语,不定式to memorize是真正的主语。故填to memorize。
答案 to memorize
6.解析 考查物主代词。句意:背诵一长串单词及其意义,查字典等等是没有多大用处的。meanings为名词需要形容词修饰,故填形容词性物主代词,故填their。
答案 their
7.解析 考查连词。句意:如果我们只满足于记住几条规则,那我们就不是真正在学习这门语言。根据句意可知前后句之间是一种假设关系,用连词If引导条件状语从句。故填If。
答案 If
8.解析 考查名词。句意:对于那些正在学习一门新语言的人来说,“通过使用来学习”是一个很好的建议。介词of后面应该用名词作介词的宾语,故填advice。
答案 advice
9.解析 考查定语从句引导词。参见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知those后面是一个定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词those应该是those people,故用关系代词who。故填who。
答案 who
10.解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:只要有机会,我们就必须练习说和写这种语言。and连接并列成分,根据前后一致的原则可知空格处应该与speaking形式保持一致,故填writing。
答案 writing

第二节 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece(杰作).
The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride!
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone!We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's onceproud carrot nose lay limp(无力的) and halfeaten.
What had happened?We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn't have anything take away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him.
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn(草坪). For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.
By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶)from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning,it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base (底座) of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again.The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies(破坏者) to come.

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
On Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for. It turned out that there were three of them from our school. They sneaked up on our snowman and sneered. Taking their places on either side, they pulled back their legs to deliver powerful kicks. But the moment they hit the hard ice block of the base, sneers turned into shock, then agony and tears. They howled and cursed, gritting their teeth and stomping their feet.
Paragraph 2:
Seeing their pained look, we couldn't help laughing. They were too funny as they hopped away holding their injured feet. We just couldn't contain our happiness and excitement. With a hearty laugh, we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from inside the house. “An eye for an eye!Justice done!”We yelled behind them. And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies. Ever since then, our snowman was kept guarded and intact until happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories.
