第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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
When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Other times she said I wasn’t a good student. And still other times she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with her.
At last, I became very angry with her. With tears in my eyes, I ran to my father, who listened to me quietly and asked, “Are the things she said true or false? Mary, haven’t you ever wondered what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that agree with her comments(评论). Pay no attention to the things she said that don’t concern you.”
I did as he told me. Much to my surprise, I discovered that over half of the things were true. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. Some advice you will treasure all your life!
21. What did the author’s father do after he heard his daughter’s complaints?
A. He agreed with her “enemy”.
B. He let her continue to put up with her “enemy”.
C. He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said.
D. He told her to write down what her “enemy” had said about her.
22. The author felt _________ when she did the things as her father had told her.
A. angry B. surprised C. disappointed D. happy
23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Good Parents B. My Enemy
C. The Best Advice I Ever Had D. You Are Always Right
B
A scientist locked himself in a small air-tight plastic tent with 200 plants to see if they could change CO2 into oxygen (氧气) fast enough to keep him alive.
Kurtis Baute locked himself in a 3m by 3m tent in his brother’s backyard in British Columbia, Canada. He hoped to find out if by surrounding himself with plants, the CO2 he breathed out could be changed into oxygen to allow him to survive in the locked tent for at least three days. Unfortunately, he had to give up the experiment after only 15 hours, as CO2 levels reached a dangerous point where he risked suffering brain damage.
“I could probably survive in the tent for three days,” Baute wrote on his website. “But my goal is not to just ‘not die’. My goal is to end this project without developing brain damage or just generally causing lasting harm to my body. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what he risked as the 200 plants he took with him into the tent couldn’t meet his needs. Clearly, a cloudy sky prevented them from receiving all the sunlight they needed to perform photosynthesis (光合作用), so they couldn’t recycle CO2 fast enough.
“Plants are great at taking in CO2 and they love it. Since it wasn’t a bright and sunny day, they weren’t getting the light they needed, which meant CO2 just kept rising. I had to give up the experiment as that continued.” the young experimenter said.
15 hours into the experiment, Baute reached the set danger point and then ended this experiment. Still, he called the experiment a “huge success” as his main goal was actually the terrible effects of climate change and CO2 emissions. “The conclusion about my experiment is that if CO2 is too high, I’ll escape, which is just everyday experiences for many people on this planet. Everyone deserves clean air, but not everyone has it,” he wrote.
- Why did Kurtis Baute stay in the tent for only 15 hours?
A. The tent is too small for him to stay too long.
B. The environment in the tent is dangerous for him.
C. CO2 in the tent couldn’t be changed into oxygen.
D. He couldn’t survive in the locked tent any longer.
25. What made it hard for the 200 plants to satisfy Kurtis Baute’s needs?
A. His health condition. B. His wrong decision. C. Too much CO2. D. The cloudy weather.
26. What does Kurtis think of the result of the experiment?
A. Disappointing (令人失望的). B. Surprising. C. Satisfying. D. Interesting.
C
Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution all damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve (保护) our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument had been damaged by people, they would have money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization(世界遗产组织) in 1972. Today, the organization helps to preserve and repair the most important places from our history.
However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge in England, governments have built high walls to protect the site from vandals(故意破坏者).
There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Some experts say that if guards(保安人员) patrolled(巡逻) the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.
27. According to this passage, ______ is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1 for the reasons why the famous places are damaged?
A. people’s awareness B. pollution C. war and climate D. traffic
28. Which of the following shows us the action of vandalism?
A. Governments build high fences to protect the site from vandals.
B. Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television cameras.
C. People enter the sites and cause damage to the buildings.
D. They collect as much money as they can to preserve the buildings.
29. What’s the best way to solve the biggest problem of preserving our history?
A. Every country spends more money looking after the historic places.
B. All the countries unite to repair the historic sites.
C. Too many guards are needed to prevent vandals getting in.
D. To make people know more about the value of historic sites.
30. From this passage we learn that the World Heritage Organization______________.
A. was founded in 1970 B. was founded only to repair the historic places
C. helps to preserve our history D. offers people information about vandalism
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every single decision we make shapes our life. 31 So if you’re unsatisfied with your life right now, making the effort to change your decisions will be the key to creating the life you want to have in the future.
32
Before making a decision, you have to understand what power a decision has. When you decide to pick up a cigarette, that decision might result in you picking up another later on. But if you decide not to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention on somewhere else, your desire will finally weaken and you will become smoke-free.
Carry your decision out.
33 When you decide on something, that decision should be carried out through action. It’s pointless to make a decision in your head, but not doing anything about it. That’s the same as not making a decision at all.
Tell others about your decisions.
Sometimes telling other people what we’re going to do will make us follow through. I’ve been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible. So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6 a.m. and stay up. 34
Have fun making decisions.
35 I know decision-making might not be a fun thing, but whenyou do it often, you’ll learn a lot about yourself on the way, and you’ll become more confident, and making decisions will be so easy that you won’t even think about it.
A. Enjoy the process (过程).
B. When you make a decision, act on it.
C. Examine the decision you now have.
D. Every decision you make causes a chain of events.
E. Within two days, I was able to do this successfully.
F. But we often go through life unaware what actions we are taking.
G. Realize the power of decision making.

District Line is one of London’s subways, 56 crosses Greater London from east to west. It 57 (paint) green on the map, so you can easily find it. Every year millions of Londoners take it, making it the third 58 (busy) line of all.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that made his heart racing. But the price — five dollars — was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue (胶水) that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
He opened the shop’s weathered (风化的) door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding,“ But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?”
“ I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “ People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It can be kept for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags (装钉子的麻袋). People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site (工地), and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a soda tin (汽水罐).

Dear Mary,
I’m sorry to hear that you have been ill for days because of studying too hard. I think it would be much better for your study if you could pay more attention to your health.
It would be a good idea to take one hour’s exercise every day. Exercise can not only make your body strong but also refresh your mind. Only when you have a strong body can you make sure your study will not be interrupted from time to time by illness.
I’ll be very happy to see you come back to school soon.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1: Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben walked in the streets, looking for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to send papers to people in the early morning. Although he felt tired, he still stuck to the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that made him full of energy. After a long time of hard work, he made it finally.
Paragraph 2: Finally the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! He made it! Holding the soda tin in his hand, Reuben rushed to the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door and put it in Dora’s hand. Dora had never received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly in her arms, with tears in her eyes.
