A. which B. why C. what D. that 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们在森林里迷路了，更糟糕的是夜幕开始降临。分析句子结构可知，and连接两个并列句，第二个分句中“________ made matters worse”为主语从句。该主语从句中缺少主语，且表示“……的事情”，需用what引导并在从句中充当主语。 7.

A. says B. said C. saying D. to say 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在接到妻子的电话说她摔倒的时候，他立刻从办公室冲回家。非谓语动词saying修饰phone call，前后动词的动作在同一时间发生，表主动进行用现在分词的形式。故选C。 13.

Staton, a 24-year-old former sanitation (环卫) worker in Maryland, US, recently celebrated his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies. “Things were pretty good until I was 8 years old. My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 41. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C. Stanton worked as a sports agent while applying for law school D. at one time Stanton didn’t have a satisfying academic performance 42. Why did Rehan Staton work as a sanitation worker? A. To gain some work experience. B. To help lighten his family’s financial burdens. C. To save money for his college education. D. To help the sanitation workers who once helped him. 43. What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply? A. Rehan was an observant sky-lover. B. Rehan has limitations on what major he can choose. C. Rehan has an extreme fear of heights. D. Rehan has endless potential to realize his dream. 44. Which words can best describe Rehan Staton? A. Strong-minded and optimistic. B. Warm-hearted and easygoing. C. Inventive and diligent. D. Cautious and modest. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To share tips on how to get admitted into Harvard. B. To persuade readers to get support when in need. C. To encourage readers not to bend to hardships in life. D. To show the importance of working with the right people. 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. D 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了24岁的Rehan Staton通过努力，被哈佛法学院录取。讲述了他所经历的一些挫折和困难，以及他乐观坚强的人生态度。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies.(Stanton的生活相对正常，直到一系列的挫折影响了他的家庭生活和学习)”以及第四段中“When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades.(在他上七年级的时候，一位老师甚至建议把他安排到特殊教育班。然后，他的哥哥雷吉集思广益，想出办法帮助他提高成绩)”可推知，有一段时间，Stanton的学习成绩并不令人满意。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company.(因此，为了养活自己和家人，Staton开始在一家卫生公司工作)”可知，Rehan Staton做环卫工人是为了帮助减轻家庭经济负担。故选B。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段画线词后文“Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve(无论他未来选择做什么，他一定会成功)”可知，Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想，做什么都会成功。故画线句意思是“Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想”。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am.(然而，他申请的每一所大学都拒绝了他。因此，为了养活自己和家人，斯塔顿开始在一家卫生公司工作。他每天都在搬运垃圾和清理垃圾箱，每天早上4点左右起床穿衣服)”以及最后一段中“You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.(在任何黑暗的情况下，你总能看到光明，你需要抓住那盏灯)”可推知，Rehan Staton被拒绝也未放弃生活的希望，可得出他意志坚强、乐观。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.”(对于那些在困难时期寻找灵感的人，Staton建议“足够爱自己，从生活中得到你想要的，”他告诉美国广播公司新闻媒体。“在任何黑暗的情况下，你总能看到光明，你需要抓住那盏灯。”)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者不要向生活中的困难低头。故选C。 C The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 46. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To seek help for Nauru's problems. B. To give a warning to other countries. C. To show the importance of money. D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 47. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open. C. Peaceful and attractive. D. Greedy and aggressive. 48. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______. A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining C. farming activity D. whale hunting 49. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem? A. Its leaders misused the money. B. It spent too much repairing the island. C. Its phosphate mining cost much money. D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war. 50. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. B. The leaders will take the experts'words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans. D. The phosphate mines were destroyed. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【分析】文章是一篇说明文。主要讲述了太平洋岛国瑙鲁如何从一个环境优美的天堂岛变成一个生态失衡、满目疮痍的小岛。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段的Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.(现在它是一个生态灾区。瑙鲁令人心碎的故事可能会有一个好的后果——其他国家可能会从它的错误中吸取教训。)可以看出，作者的目的是给当前很多只注重发展经济而忽略环境保护的国家一个警告。故选B。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。从第一段提到的“太平洋上的国家瑙鲁岛曾经是一个美丽的地方”看出，瑙鲁岛attractive；由第二段第一句以及第三段第一句可知，上千年来，瑙鲁岛的人们生活在偏远的小岛上，过着平静的生活。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段的Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem－their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.可以看出“磷酸盐逐渐减少，开采殆尽”。由此可以看出，“磷酸盐的过量开采”导致了生态灾难。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段的“Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. ”看出，是领导人不正确使用资金导致了财政问题。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后告诉我们Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island，也就是说：瑙鲁岛上的生态损失弥补起来需要大量的资金和时间，即选项所说的“修复起来很难”。故选A。 D Ralph Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in he world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives. Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain be-cause we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships. What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being : a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world. The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we’ll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car knowledge is the steering wheel(方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can’t move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness. 51. What effect does the narrow perception of a good life have on us? A. Making us simple-minded B. Making us short-sighted. C. Leading us onto a busy road. D. Keeping us from comfort and luxury. 52. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness? A. Through maintaining good health. B. By going through pain and suffering. C. By recognizing one’s abilities and limitations. D. Through offering help much needed by others. 53. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one________. A. less selfish B. less annoying C. more motivated D. more responsible 54. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results? A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world. B. When our love for the world is insufficient. C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life. D. When we stay blind to the reality. 55. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when ________. A. inspired by love and guided by knowledge B. directed by love and pushed by knowledge C. purified by love and enriched by knowledge D. promoted by love and defined by knowledge 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了美好生活的秘诀是什么。人生的目的不是生而快乐，而是生而有益。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering.(这种对美好生活的狭隘看法可能会带来短期的好处，但肯定会导致长期的伤害和痛苦。)”可知，对美好生活的狭隘看法只能给我们带来短期的好处，所以时间长了会让我们目光短浅、短视。故选B项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness.(我们必须先为他人服务而不求回报，因为他人的幸福是我们自己幸福的源泉。)”可知，我们能够从帮助他人获得真正的幸福。故选D项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling.(然而，当我们出于热爱做同样的工作时，我们不仅享受我们做的事情，而且也享受那种毫不费力的感觉。)”可知，带着热爱去做事会让人更加享受做这件事情；越享受做某件事，做事越有动力。故选C项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance.(虚假的知识比无知更危险。)”可以推测出，当我们对世界有错误的认识的时候，就算意图良好，也可能导致不好的、违背预期的结局。故选A项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others.(带着爱和知识，我们全力以赴，通过对他人做好事来创造一个更美好的世界。)”可知，有爱和知识，生活就会变得更美好。故选A项。 四、书面表达（满分15分） 56. 你是晨光中学学生李津，下周将迎来你校每年一度的科技主题活动周，学校将组织承办“科学教育交流展示活动”，你作为学生代表，将在开幕式上为来访的海外联谊校师生致辞，介绍本次活动的概况。请你根据以下提纲，撰写一篇发言稿。 1.对前来参加活动的海外师生表示欢迎； 2.本次活动的形式（科普讲座、科学实验展示课、学生项目作品展）； 3.你对科学教育的看法。 字数150词左右，可适当增加细节使行文连贯。 参考词汇：科学教育交流展示活动 Science Education Exchange Exhibition 展示课 demonstration class _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear teachers and friends, On behalf of Chenguang High School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the overseas teachers and students present here.

Staton, a 24-year-old former sanitation (环卫) worker in Maryland, US, recently celebrated his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies. “Things were pretty good until I was 8 years old. My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 41. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C. Stanton worked as a sports agent while applying for law school D. at one time Stanton didn’t have a satisfying academic performance 42. Why did Rehan Staton work as a sanitation worker? A. To gain some work experience. B. To help lighten his family’s financial burdens. C. To save money for his college education. D. To help the sanitation workers who once helped him. 43. What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply? A. Rehan was an observant sky-lover. B. Rehan has limitations on what major he can choose. C. Rehan has an extreme fear of heights. D. Rehan has endless potential to realize his dream. 44. Which words can best describe Rehan Staton? A. Strong-minded and optimistic. B. Warm-hearted and easygoing. C. Inventive and diligent. D. Cautious and modest. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To share tips on how to get admitted into Harvard. B. To persuade readers to get support when in need. C. To encourage readers not to bend to hardships in life. D. To show the importance of working with the right people. C The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 46. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To seek help for Nauru's problems. B. To give a warning to other countries. C. To show the importance of money. D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 47. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open. C. Peaceful and attractive. D. Greedy and aggressive. 48. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______. A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining C. farming activity D. whale hunting 49. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem? A. Its leaders misused the money. B. It spent too much repairing the island. C. Its phosphate mining cost much money. D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war. 50. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. B. The leaders will take the experts'words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans. D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.
