Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A.B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different. Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal. My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete. And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities. Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end. 36. During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first? A. Focus on improving her overall grades. B. Join as many school clubs as possible. C. Learn how to manage her time well. D. Spend more time on outdoor activities. 37. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure? A. Discouraged. B. Brave. C. Worried. D. Careful. 38. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean? A. It is the opposite. B. It is difficult. C. It is necessary. D. It is helpful. 39. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage? A. To share her goals for the coming school year. B. To stress the importance of health to students. C. To show what she likes about high school life. D. To explain how to balance studies and activities. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者分享了自己在新的一年里对于生活学习的规划。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to spend my time better.(我希望在高一学到的第一件事是能够更好地利用我的时间)”可知，作者希望在新的一年提高自己管理时间的能力，学会管理好自己的时间。故选C项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams.(最后，我希望我不会因为失败而气馁，永远不要放弃我的梦想)”可知，作者不会因为失败而气馁。由此推知，作者对失败的态度是勇敢的。故选B项。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”(爱因斯坦曾经说过：“生活就像骑自行车。为了保持平衡，你必须不停地移动。”)”以及后文“In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes.(为了保持运动，我必须保持平衡——学习与活动、效率与拖延、学业与健康、爱好与厌恶之间的平衡)”可知，前后文的意思相反，所以划线部分“it’s the other way around”应是“正好相反”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different. (当有人问我来年的目标是什么时，我通常不知道如何回答。当然，我和大多数人一样，希望看到我的成绩有所提高。然而，今年，我希望能有一些不同的东西)”以及最后一段中的“The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.(新的旅程将会是艰难的，但如果我确立了这些目标，我相信我能坚持到底)”可知，作者要分享他在新的一年里希望除了学习进步外，有一些不一样，后面详细介绍了他接下来的高中生活中的目标。故选A项。 (B) Columbus College, 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Kowloon City MEMO To: All staff From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee Date: May 20, 2010 A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play.

According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all. Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries. Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.” The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study， “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.” 43. The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”． A. hard B. regular C. practical D. little 44. The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________. A. suggest giving up jogging B. show risks of doing sports C. provide supportive evidence D. introduce the research process 45. According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful? A. It may injure the heart and arteries. B. It can make the body tired out. C. It will bring much pressure. D. It consumes too much energy. 46. What can be inferred from the text? A. Jogging is the best exercise. B. More exercise means a healthier life. C. Marathons runners are least likely to die. D. Proper exercise contributes to good health. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. A 46. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章提出如果你认为跑马拉松会帮助你生活得健康长寿，新的研究可能会让你震惊，根据最近的一项科学研究，做一个非常艰苦的锻炼的人死亡的可能性是大于不锻炼的人。本文以此展开，主要介绍了运动对身体的影响。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。hard耗费体力的；regular有规律的；practical实际的；flexible灵活的。由第一段最后一句"According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．"可知，一点不做运动的人和非常艰苦锻炼的人都极有可能死亡，故应选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。第二段所举的例子主要是为了证明第一段最后一句"According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all"，故在第二段举一些数字主要是提供有力的证据，故应选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句"The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries（动脉）．"可知，做过多的运动有害是因为它可能伤害心脏和动脉，故应选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”可知，做运动过多或过少都对身体有害，只有做适量的运动才对身体有益，故应选D。 Section C(8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We say yes for many reasons. But if we're in the habit of saying yes too often, ,we may find ourselves unhappy, or angry. ____47____ When we say yes out of duty, we're not taking care of ourselves and end up disappointing and hurting ourselves. Follow these simple tips to help you say no with love. ____48____ I had the bad habit of saying yes to things right away and then feeling terrible later. When Jane asks if you can watch her dog this weekend, tell her you're honored that she thought of you and that you'd be happy to let her know at the end of the day or the next morning. Three breaths and two questions. If we are in the habit of saying yes, every question can cause stress. Take three deep breathe before you answer, which will ground you. Then ask yourself these questions: "Am I able to? Do I want to?" Just because we're able to do something doesn't mean we should or that we need to. Turn them down and offer alternatives. ____49____ Your mind may tell you that you're selfish（自私的）or you're a bad person for saying no. This is not true. You are saying no because you value yourself, your time, and your energy. Saying no can look something like this: "I appreciate you thinking of me to watch your dog but unfortunately I'm not able to this weekend." Or "Unfortunately I'm not able to this weekend, but my friend Sally loves dogs and said she'd be around this weekend. Let me know if you'd like her number." Simply say no, with a smile. "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm not able to do that." Then smile. ____50____ When you're able to say no easily and without guilt, you might even find that you are more willing to volunteer or participate because when you do, it will be out of joy. A. Say thanks and think it over. B. Saying no can be the hardest step. C. Learning to say no protects our energy and time. D. Offer something that you would be comfortable with. E. We don't want to disappoint them or hurt their feelings. F. By being able to say no in a loving way, it shows self-respect. 【答案】47. C 48. A 49. B 50. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是关于有爱地说“不”的建议。 【47题详解】 空格前说“But if we're in the habit of saying yes too often, ,we may find ourselves unhappy, or angry. （但如果我们习惯太频繁地说“是”，我们可能会发现自己不快乐或生气。）”，本段结尾说“Follow these simple tips to help you say no with love.（遵循以下简单的建议，你就能带着爱说不。）”，因此本段是鼓励人说“不”，C选项Learning to say no protects our energy and time.（学会说不可以保护我们的精力和时间。）说明了说“不”的好处，因此是鼓励人说“不”，因此C选项符合语境，故选C。 【48题详解】 空格后说“When Jane asks if you can watch her dog this weekend, tell her you're honored that she thought of you and that you'd be happy to let her know at the end of the day or the next morning.（当简问你这周末能不能帮她照看她的狗狗时，告诉她你很荣幸她能想到你，并且你很乐意在今天结束或第二天早上告诉她。 ）”，这是委婉地拒绝他人，A选项Say thanks and think it over.（说谢谢，然后好好考虑一下。）是委婉的拒绝，符合语境，故选A。 【49题详解】 空格后说“Your mind may tell you that you're selfish（自私的）or you're a bad person for saying no.（你的大脑可能会告诉你，你是自私的，或者你是一个坏人，因为你说了不。）”，说明要说“不”是很难的事情，B选项Saying no can be the hardest step.（说“不”可能是最难的一步。）说明要说“不”很难，因此B选项符合语境，故选B。 【50题详解】 本段主题句是“Simply say no, with a smile.（简单地说不，带着微笑。）”，因此本段是关于用有爱的方式说“不”，F选项By being able to say no in a loving way, it shows self-respect.（通过用爱的方式说“不”，这是一种自尊。）说明了用有爱的方式说 “不”的好处，因此F选项符合语境，故选F。 IV.

For each of them there are four choices marked A.B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different. Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal. My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete. And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities. Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end. 36. During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first? A. Focus on improving her overall grades. B. Join as many school clubs as possible. C. Learn how to manage her time well. D Spend more time on outdoor activities. 37. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure? A. Discouraged. B. Brave. C. Worried. D. Careful. 38. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean? A.

To stress the importance of health to students. C. To show what she likes about high school life. D. To explain how to balance studies and activities. (B) Columbus College, 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Kowloon City MEMO To: All staff From: Jakie Mok Secretary; Sports Development Committee Date: May 20, 2010 A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo for your reference when you answer the phones. Sport 1: Basketball We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from KwunTong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game. Sports 2: Gym We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. Thee are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6 :00 p.m.. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities. Sport 3: Hiking Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 p.m. and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $75/hr. Sport 4: Swimming The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i. e. 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit. 40. Which can be inferred from the passage? ________. A. Students taking part in basketball will walk to the courts B. Every student can gain admission to one of the four sports C. Hiking students can have a regular rest in the shade of trees D. Students taking up the four sports should bring bottles of water 41.

Hiking usually begins at 2:30 p.m. and lasts 2 hours. D. Students having swimming suits can take up swimming. 42. The memo aims to ________. A. attract students’ interest in the programme B. help the staff explain the programme to the parents C. require the parents to select a sport for their child D. remind teachers and lifeguards to be present on time (C) If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all. Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries. Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.” The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study， “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.” 43. The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”． A. hard B. regular C. practical D. little 44. The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________. A. suggest giving up jogging B. show risks of doing sports C. provide supportive evidence D. introduce the research process 45. According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful? A. It may injure the heart and arteries. B. It can make the body tired out. C. It will bring much pressure. D. It consumes too much energy. 46. What can be inferred from the text? A. Jogging is the best exercise. B. More exercise means a healthier life. C. Marathons runners are least likely to die. D. Proper exercise contributes to good health. Section C(8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We say yes for many reasons. But if we're in the habit of saying yes too often, ,we may find ourselves unhappy, or angry. ____47____ When we say yes out of duty, we're not taking care of ourselves and end up disappointing and hurting ourselves. Follow these simple tips to help you say no with love. ____48____ I had the bad habit of saying yes to things right away and then feeling terrible later. When Jane asks if you can watch her dog this weekend, tell her you're honored that she thought of you and that you'd be happy to let her know at the end of the day or the next morning. Three breaths and two questions. If we are in the habit of saying yes, every question can cause stress. Take three deep breathe before you answer, which will ground you. Then ask yourself these questions: "Am I able to? Do I want to?" Just because we're able to do something doesn't mean we should or that we need to. Turn them down and offer alternatives. ____49____ Your mind may tell you that you're selfish（自私的）or you're a bad person for saying no. This is not true. You are saying no because you value yourself, your time, and your energy. Saying no can look something like this: "I appreciate you thinking of me to watch your dog but unfortunately I'm not able to this weekend." Or "Unfortunately I'm not able to this weekend, but my friend Sally loves dogs and said she'd be around this weekend. Let me know if you'd like her number." Simply say no, with a smile. "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm not able to do that." Then smile. ____50____ When you're able to say no easily and without guilt, you might even find that you are more willing to volunteer or participate because when you do, it will be out of joy. A. Say thanks and think it over. B. Saying no can be the hardest step. C. Learning to say no protects our energy and time. D. Offer something that you would be comfortable with. E. We don't want to disappoint them or hurt their feelings. F. By being able to say no in a loving way, it shows self-respect. IV.
