Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
My first year of teaching was an emotionally (情感上) exhausting job with few payoffs. I was young, inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.
After a particularly long night of marking papers and thinking about how many weeks I had left until I could breathe, I had some of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids.Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own, much less continue teaching.
That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in—the country boy who was no great shakes at school. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He had stuck a bird feather in it.
“I got you a Mother's Day gift,” he said. Most middle school and high school teachers didn't receive presents.Lots of festivals had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared. Embarrassed by my silence, he said, “You know...since you're like a mother to us and all that, I think you should get a present, too.”
I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the whole world and I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What drove that twelveyearold boy to bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. From then on, I knew what this job meant to me.

B
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years, I_was_treading_water, just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated.Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deepdown wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — there's a dark period inbetween where you're neither one thing nor the other.You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, “Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there.” My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent (代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents.So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher.After twoandahalf years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really.When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的).
5.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.I was waiting for good fortune.
B.I was trying to find an admirable job.

7.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?

A.It pays to stick to one's goal.

C.She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
D.There is no end in sight when starting to do something.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者从英国文学专业毕业之后,几经周折,最终幸运地找到自己喜爱的写书这门职业的事情。

8.A [推理判断题。最后一段作者表达她刚刚开始时“an unbelievable stroke of luck”到后来的“there's no end in sight”及“to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的)”是想要告诉读者,坚持自己的目标是值得的,总会碰到运气的降临。故选A。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现无聊会让孩子们更有创造性并且提高想象力, 并举了Luke的例子。Luke厌烦玩游戏和骑车, 他自己建造了一所小房子, 从而爱上了建筑。
1.C [根据空前的“boredom is good for kids. It forces them to be creative”以及空后的“and helps them discover new things”可知, 无聊对孩子有好处, 因此可推测此处是提高孩子们的想象力, 故选C。]
2.D [此处是举了Luke这个例子。 a case in point为固定搭配, 意为“恰当的例证”。故选D。]
3.A [根据下文的“he decided to build a tiny house in his backyard instead”可知, 他对玩电子游戏和骑自行车感到厌倦了, 因此应用 be tired of, 故选A。]
4.B [空前指出他从修剪草坪的工作中赚钱, 空后又指出他甚至通过劳动跟别人交换服务, 这两句话之间是递进关系, 故选B。]
5.A [in exchange for交换;in praise for赞颂; in support of支持;in place of代替。根据上文的提示“exchanged some services”可知,选A。]
6.A [根据上文的“spare materials”可知, 此处表示Luke建造的小房子用的是邻居不要的材料, 因此使用 recycled可回收的, 故选A。]
7.B [此处指花费18个月的时间, 故选B。]
8.B [access到达;进入;使用。此处指楼上的卧室通过楼梯就很容易到达, 故选B。]
9.B [根据空前的“Although Luke had done the research and learned how to do all the work”可知, 此处表示让步关系, 即尽管Luke已经做了研究, 学习了如何做所有的工作, 但在整个项目中一直都有父亲的帮助, 故选B。]
10.D [根据空前的“Greg Thrill was very happy that his son learned to keep within a budget and deal with grownups.”可知, Luke的父亲对Luke的行为表示赞扬, 又根据“had some simple rules”可知, Luke的父亲对Luke又有一些要求, 前后句子构成转折的关系, 故选D。]
11.C [borrow借; donate捐赠;raise筹募;distribute分发。此处指父亲要Luke自己筹钱建房子,故选C。]
12.D [根据Luke建造房子这件事可推测Luke现在爱上了建筑,因此使用 building,故选D。]
13.B [句意:最后,他想要建造一个更大的屋子来居住,但就目前,他一周只在他的新家待几个晚上,在那里做家庭作业以及暂时躲避他的双胞胎兄弟。eventually最终。运用排除法即可判断只有B项合适,故选B。]
14.C [bring out使显出;leave out遗漏;hang out待在某处;put out扑灭,根据下文“in his new home a few nights a week”可知,他待在新家,故选C。]
