Here’s a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids. Swimming pools Simple way for happiness: mix kids with water. Of course, this is a choice for the hot summer months. Parks Free outdoor fun—that’s what Brisbane’s parks offer kids of all ages. Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild. The Children’s Art Centre The Children’s Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions. We love the artist-run workshops and performances（unusually you must pay some money）specially designed for children too. South Bank Parklands South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused. Take them for a swim at the man-made beach, play on one of the playgrounds by the river. On weekends, go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema. South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too. Roma Street Parkland Close to bus transport, this inner city parkland is easily accessible（可进入的）and ideal for kids of all ages. Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express, a 1. 3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there’s a playground to explore. Free entry and open daily. Skating and climbing We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy. Take them roller skating or ice skating. Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane. 21. If your kids want to watch performances for free, you can take them to ________. A. South Bank Parklands B. Roma Street Parkland C. The Children’s Art Centre D. Parks 22. What can we know about Roma Street Parkland? A. It opens only at weekends. B. Only younger kids can visit it. C. We need not buy tickets for a visit. D. You have to walk when visiting it. 23. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Some interesting places for kids in Brisbane. B. How to travel in Brisbane. C. The best time to visit Brisbane. D. Brisbane—a beautiful city in Australia. B Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms （批评） are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving. No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 24. The author thinks parents ________. A. should send their children to college B. should support their children after they get married C. need to buy an apartment for their children D. needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities 25. What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Right. B. Promise. C. Duty. D. Excuse. 26. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again. B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters. D. Correct their mistakes immediately. 27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage? A. The duties of parents. B. The best way to teach children. C. The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy. D. The reason why parents owe their children something. C Bees and France have a long history together. In the 1800s Napoleon Bonaparte chose the bee as a symbol of France. In the same century, in 1845, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started. At that time there were around 2,000 beehives in the city. After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping has become popular again recently. Now there are over 700 hives in Paris. Some of these hives are actually on the roofs of famous Parisian buildings and hotels and restaurants. City bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because there are no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris. French beekeepers in the countryside lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, beekeepers in the city lose less than five percent. “That's interesting,” you might be thinking, “but isn't there a lot of pollution in Paris?” In fact, pollution does not seem to influence the honey. Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution and none were found. As for the taste, Parisian bees have many kinds of flowers and plants to choose from. In the countryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant. The flowers in Paris give the honey a special taste. But Parisian honey is quite expensive. One pound costs about USD 65. Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems. For example, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees might not have enough food. So beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives. Another problem is bees in restaurants. One beekeeper had to take his hives away from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from the flowers indoors. However, technology can be used to check on the hives, with cameras and microphones. Paris isn't the only city with beehives on its roofs these days. Berlin, Tokyo, London, Washington D.C., and San Francisco also have beehives. So, the next time you're in these cities, look around for some local honey. 28. What do we know about beekeeping in Paris? A. It was popular in the late 1800s. B. It is done on the roofs of buildings. C. It has the same long history as Paris. D. It was a course in Parisian ancient schools. 29. According to Paragraph 2, why do Parisian bees produce more honey than country bees? A. There are more flowers in Paris. B. Parisian bees are more able to stay alive. C. Parisian bees are taken good care of. D. More pesticides are used in Parisian parks. 30. What is the advantage of Parisian honey? A. It is low in price. B. It is good in color. C. It is sticky and thick. D. It is safe and good to eat. 31. What is one way beekeepers in Paris deal with their problems? A. By spreading beehives reasonably. B. By not putting flowers in restaurants. C. B y controlling the total number of beehives. D. By storing enough food for bees beforehand. D Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won’t ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________. A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success 33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______. A. setting a practical goal B. being good at something C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life 34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______. A. it takes a lot of time to succeed B. work makes one feel pain C. one gives up his work easily D. one tends to enjoy his work 35. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A Successful people like to show their great skills. B People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Grateful Has your mother or best friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? ___36___ Do you keep thinking about the things you don’t have, instead of being thankful for what you do have?

At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?” “But… but I do not carry money…” I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you,” the seller said, “Come in, I will cook you a bowl.” A few minutes later, the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!” The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles, and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little. Why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom? You should say sorry to your mom.” I was really surprised after hearing that.

A 【解析】 【原文】M: Mary, about this topic I will say something else. W: What? M: I think a lot of people who go to opera don’t understand what they hear. They only go because they think it is high class. W: Probably you’re right, but you’re not saying I’m that way, are you? M: No, not at all. I know you understand music very well, but you can’t say most of the audiences understand, can you?

W: Yes, probably. M: So why don’t they go to movies? W: Because... well M: It’s because they want to appear cultured. They want to do something high class, but to me it’s just untruthful, because they don’t understand it anyway. W: I know what you’re saying, but I still feel bad that you didn’t enjoy it. M: Don’t worry about it. I wanted to tell you honestly what I think. I respect you. You know I respect your appreciation for opera, too. But it’s not for me. I’d rather read a novel. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What does the author think of the nature’s power and the man’s creation? A. They are the same. B. Nature’s power is stronger. C.

C 【解析】 【原文】The Power of Nature Man’s creations amaze us: fast airplanes, powerful bombs, and heavy lifting equipment. But compared with nature’s power, man’s is nothing. Many places in the world have experienced nature’s power and its devastating effects. In both typhoons and hurricanes, the forces of wind and rain combined to cause damage and death. Hurricane winds blow anywhere from 119 kilometers per hour to more than 249 kilometers per hour. Winds tear roofs of houses and buildings; heavy rains cause massive floods that destroy everything in their paths. Typhoon Bilis roared across Taiwan with winds as high as 320 kilometers per hour in August 2000. The result was 71 deaths and $133.5 million in damage. Floods occur more often than any other natural disaster. Heavy rains can cause rivers to rise and overflow their banks. Floods can carry away trees, hillsides, cars, and even houses. On July 26, 2005, over 500 people died when monsoon rains caused flooding around Mumbai (Bombay), India. More than 26 inches of rain fell in one day. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Among the many things that Brisbane（布里斯班），Australia, does really well is the care for kids. Here’s a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids. Swimming pools Simple way for happiness: mix kids with water. Of course, this is a choice for the hot summer months. Parks Free outdoor fun—that’s what Brisbane’s parks offer kids of all ages. Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild. The Children’s Art Centre The Children’s Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions. We love the artist-run workshops and performances（unusually you must pay some money）specially designed for children too. South Bank Parklands South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused. Take them for a swim at the man-made beach, play on one of the playgrounds by the river. On weekends, go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema. South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too. Roma Street Parkland Close to bus transport, this inner city parkland is easily accessible（可进入的）and ideal for kids of all ages. Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express, a 1. 3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there’s a playground to explore. Free entry and open daily. Skating and climbing We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy. Take them roller skating or ice skating. Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane. 21. If your kids want to watch performances for free, you can take them to ________. A. South Bank Parklands B. Roma Street Parkland C. The Children’s Art Centre D. Parks 22. What can we know about Roma Street Parkland? A. It opens only at weekends. B. Only younger kids can visit it. C.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在Brisbane（布里斯班）有六种很适合带孩子去玩的有趣的地方。它们分别是：游泳池、公园、儿童艺术中心、南岸公园、罗马街公园、可以滑冰和登山的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too.”（南岸公园也经常举办免费活动和表演）可知，孩子们可以在South Bank Parklands免费观看表演。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句话“Free entry and open daily.”（免费入场，每日开放）可知，Roma Street Parkland是可以免票入场并且每天开放的。故选C项。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Here’s a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.”（以下是我们认为最适合您孩子的地方）可知，文章介绍了Brisbane一些让孩子们玩耍的有趣地方。故选A项。 B Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms （批评） are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving. No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 24. The author thinks parents ________. A. should send their children to college B. should support their children after they get married C. need to buy an apartment for their children D. needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities 25. What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Right. B. Promise. C. Duty. D. Excuse. 26. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again. B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters. D. Correct their mistakes immediately. 27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage? A. The duties of parents. B. The best way to teach children. C. The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy. D. The reason why parents owe their children something. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章就父母对子女真正的责任是什么进行论述，总结出父母真正要给予孩子的是个人价值和正确的价值观，这才是父母真正的职责。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education...But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t.” 父母不欠子女大学教育......如果他们承担不起大学教育，也不必感到内疚，可知，作者认为，如果父母不能送子女上大学，也不必感到内疚。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. ”如果他们想这样做，就必须把它看作一种恩惠，而不是义务， 这一句中的“favor”意为“恩惠、帮忙”相反意思应为“义务、责任”，所以可以判断“obligation”应是“义务”之意，同时“obligation”和前一句“They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either.” 他们也没有义务照顾孙子孙女，这一句里的“duty”是近义词，属于词义重现用法。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题，从本文第三段第三句的“Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.” 当然，如果孩子做错了，他们应该得到适当的纠正，但是最好是让孩子们自己及时地知道他们的错误，可知，当孩子犯错时，父母应该让孩子自己及时了解错误。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education...”从父母送子女上大学，帮忙买房子或照看孙辈等琐事引入主题，说明这些并不是父母真正的职责，根据第三段第一句“One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth.” 他们的义务之一是给孩子们个人的价值和倒数第一段“Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.” 父母有义务为孩子建立一套坚实的价值观，并以此来构建他们的生活。可知，父母真正要给予孩子的是个人价值和正确的价值观，这才是父母真正的职责，所以文章主要讲父母的职责。故选A。 C Bees and France have a long history together. In the 1800s, Napoleon Bonaparte chose the bee as a symbol of France. In the same century, in 1845, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started. At that time there were around 2,000 beehives in the city. After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping has become popular again recently. Now there are over 700 hives in Paris. Some of these hives are actually on the roofs of famous Parisian buildings and hotels and restaurants. City bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because there are no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris. French beekeepers in the countryside lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, beekeepers in the city lose less than five percent. “That's interesting,” you might be thinking, “but isn't there a lot of pollution in Paris?” In fact, pollution does not seem to influence the honey. Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution and none were found. As for the taste, Parisian bees have many kinds of flowers and plants to choose from. In the countryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant. The flowers in Paris give the honey a special taste. But Parisian honey is quite expensive. One pound costs about USD 65. Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems. For example, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees might not have enough food. So beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives. Another problem is bees in restaurants. One beekeeper had to take his hives away from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from the flowers indoors. However, technology can be used to check on the hives, with cameras and microphones. Paris isn't the only city with beehives on its roofs these days. Berlin, Tokyo, London, Washington D.C., and San Francisco also have beehives. So, the next time you're in these cities, look around for some local honey. 28. What do we know about beekeeping in Paris? A. It was popular in the late 1800s. B. It is done on the roofs of buildings. C. It has the same long history as Paris. D. It was a course in Parisian ancient schools. 29. According to Paragraph 2, why do Parisian bees produce more honey than country bees? A. There are more flowers in Paris. B. Parisian bees are more able to stay alive. C. Parisian bees are taken good care of. D. More pesticides are used in Parisian parks. 30. What is the advantage of Parisian honey? A. It is low in price. B. It is good in color. C. It is sticky and thick. D. It is safe and good to eat. 31. What is one way beekeepers in Paris deal with their problems? A. By spreading beehives reasonably. B. By not putting flowers in restaurants. C. B y controlling the total number of beehives. D. By storing enough food for bees beforehand. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎的养蜂业，介绍了其养蜂历史、城市蜜蜂比乡村蜜蜂数量多的原因、以及巴黎蜂蜜的一些特色和巴黎的养蜂人面临一些小问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some of these hives are actually on the roofs of famous Parisian buildings and hotels and restaurants.(其中一些蜂巢就在巴黎著名的建筑、酒店和餐馆的屋顶上)”以及最后一段“Paris isn't the only city with beehives on its roofs these days.(如今，巴黎并不是唯一一个屋顶上有蜂箱的城市)”可知，在巴黎，养蜂是在建筑物的屋顶上进行的。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“City bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because there are no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris. French beekeepers in the countryside lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, beekeepers in the city lose less than five percent.”可知城市蜜蜂比乡村蜜蜂产的蜂蜜多三到五倍。这可能是因为巴黎的公园和花园中没有杀虫剂。由于疾病、杀虫剂和其他原因，法国乡村养蜂人每年损失高达40%的蜂箱。然而，城市养蜂人损失的不到5%。由此可知，巴黎的蜜蜂比乡下的蜜蜂产的蜂蜜多，是因为巴黎蜜蜂更能生存下来。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution and none were found.( 巴黎的蜂蜜检测了30种污染，没有发现任何污染)”以及第四段中“As for the taste, Parisian bees have many kinds of flowers and plants to choose from.(至于口味，巴黎蜜蜂有许多种花卉和植物可供选择)”由此可推知，巴黎蜂蜜的优点是安全和美味。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For example, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees might not have enough food. So beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives.”可知例如，如果一个地区有太多的蜂房，蜜蜂可能没有足够的食物。所以养蜂人必须一起工作，分散他们的蜂箱。由此可知，巴黎的养蜂人解决问题的方法是合理地分散蜂箱。故选A。 D Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won’t ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________. A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success 33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______. A. setting a practical goal B. being good at something C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life 34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______. A. it takes a lot of time to succeed B. work makes one feel pain C. one gives up his work easily D. one tends to enjoy his work 35. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Successful people like to show their great skills. B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。一些人认为，成功只是为有天赋或出身富裕的人准备的。另一些人认为成功主要靠运气。作者认为，天赋也好，身世显贵也好，运气也好，这些都只是生活中真实存在的情况，它们并不能决定一个人的成功与否 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段可得知，作者列出很多人认为成功的原因，如“Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence(有些人出生在正确的家庭，而另一些人出生就很聪明)”可知，第一段主要讲的是成功的原因。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句前面的“However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.(然而，要在生活中取得成功，首先需要设定一个目标，然后逐渐使它更实际)”可知，划线词that指的是上文提到的“设定切实可行的目标”。故选A。 34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.”可知，要想在某些事情上变得出色，就需要更多的时间，而大多数人是不会投入这些时间的。由此推知，成功人士建议做自己喜欢的事情，因为成功需要花费很多时间。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.”可知，有时人们很容易认为他们是幸运的，或者天生就有一些罕见的天赋，但这样想对你没有好处，而且你很有可能是错的。由此推知，没有运气或天赋的人有时也能成功。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Grateful Has your mother or best friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? ___36___ Do you keep thinking about the things you don’t have, instead of being thankful for what you do have?

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket. I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?” “But… but I do not carry money…” I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you,” the seller said, “Come in, I will cook you a bowl.” A few minutes later, the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!” The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles, and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little. Why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom? You should say sorry to your mom.” I was really surprised after hearing that. Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little, and I have never felt so, not even a little. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分为两段，开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. I remembered how my mother stayed up late to nurse me when I was sick, how she prepared my favorite meals even when she was exhausted, and how she patiently helped me with my homework despite her busy schedule. Every little act of love flashed before my eyes, making me realize how selfish I had been. Now, sitting in this small noodle shop, I felt a deep sense of shame. The shop owner was right: I had taken her love for granted. When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. The moment she saw me, she stood up quickly, relief washing over her face. Without a word, she pulled me into a tight hug. “I’m so sorry, Mom,” I whispered. “I… I just realized how much you’ve done for me.” She stroked my hair gently and said, “It’s okay. I just want you to be happy.” That night, we talked for hours, and I promised to be more understanding. From then on, I learned to appreciate her love — not just in big moments, but in every small, everyday sacrifice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以母女冲突为线索展开，讲述了作者与母亲争吵后离家，饥肠辘辘时被面馆老板请吃一碗面。她感动落泪，抱怨母亲“残忍”，老板反问母亲对她的付出。作者顿悟，想起母亲日夜操劳的点点滴滴，羞愧不已。回家后，看到母亲担忧的身影，她含泪道歉，并明白了珍贵的爱藏在平凡的付出里。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，许多回忆涌上我的脑海。”可知，第一段可描写作者回忆起母亲日常的种种付出，心中感到愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家，我看到妈妈坐在餐桌旁，又担心又疲倦。”可知，第二段可描写母亲看到作者回家，感到如释重负，作者向母亲道歉，两人和解，作者也由此学会更加感激母亲。 2. 续写线索：回忆涌来——母亲的付出——作者愧疚——作者回家——作者道歉，两人和解——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①照料：nurse/take care of/attend to ②意识到：realize/recognize ③低声说：whisper/murmur/mutter 情绪类 ①羞愧：shame/humiliation/embarrassment ②快乐的：happy/joyful/cheerful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Every little act of love flashed before my eyes, making me realize how selfish I had been.
