第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks' home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all.

(三)语法填空(15分)

Schools were quite bare, and the students __22__ (have) tiring days, walking miles to get to school, often barefoot. With their mountain __23__ work at home, few __24__ (possession) and little opportunity, these children were joyful, which I admired.
This __25__ (be) my first time living abroad in a different culture, simply getting used to the living conditions was __26__ big adjustment. I had no electricity, running water, phone or the Internet. Imagine no air-conditioning at a place __27__ the temperature often goes beyond 38 degrees Celsius! Some days it was just too hot to move.
However, I could end each day with a __28__ (glory) African sunset. And at night, I had a light-pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way. Before Namibia, I never thought I would survive in such an environment. My experience awakened me to not only the limitations __29__ (place) on ourselves, but also our amazing ability to adapt. Stepping out of your comfort zone in another culture will certainly make your life worthwhile.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了大学毕业后到非洲当志愿教师的经历,以及自己的感悟。
20.was sent 考查动词的时态和语态。此处叙述的是过去的经历,且句子主语I和谓语动词send之间是被动关系,所以此处用一般过去时的被动语态。
21.equally 考查副词。句中eager是形容词,应用副词修饰。所给形容词equal的副词形式是equally。
22.had 考查动词的时态。这里用一般过去时叙述过去发生的动作。
23.of 考查介词。介词of构成的介词短语作定语,表示“堆积如山的工作”。
24.possessions 考查名词复数。所给词possession是名词,意思是“拥有”,其复数形式表示“财产”。
25.being 考查非谓语动词。本句中的两个分句之间没有连词,此处应使用独立主格结构;句子主语This和be之间是主动关系,所以是现在分词的独立主格结构。
26.a 考查冠词。这里用a big adjustment表示“一个很不容易的适应过程”。
27.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构并结合语境可知,空前的a place为先行词,空处引导定语从句,并在从句中作地点状语。
28.glorious 考查形容词。sunset是名词,应由形容词修饰。所给名词glory的形容词形式是glorious,意思是“美丽的,灿烂的”,在句中作定语。
29.placed 考查非谓语动词。此处limitations和place之间是被动关系,因此空处为过去分词作后置定语,表示“我们给自己设限”。

选用以下词汇写一个英语片段,描述你成长过程中的一次经历和感悟。词数60左右。
mature,childhood,election,commit,selfish,win one's approval,take responsibility for,develop a stronger sense of
参考范文:
During my childhood, I was rather selfish and only cared about myself. But an election experience changed me. I was committed to winning the election and worked hard to prepare for it. When I finally won, I had to take responsibility for my duties. This made me mature and develop a stronger sense of responsibility. What I did won my parents' approval.
