It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a ____36____ basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without ____37____ and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.
The training also needed to find those who could ____38____ in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great ____39____.
Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would ____40____ in our rooms. The first thing they did was to ____41____ our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.
It was a(n) ____42____ task. But every morning we were required to make our beds ____43____.
It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the ____44____ task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will ____45____ you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have ____46____ into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the little things right, you will ____47____ be able to do the big things right.
____48____ the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever ____49____ a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
In general， if you want to change the world, ____50____ off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!

William Shakespeare was born more than 440 years ago and spent his childhood in his hometown, Stratford-on-Avon. Little was known about his childhood though many stories are told, some of which may be true. He probably went to Grammar school at Stratford. At thirteen he had to leave school as his father became poorer at one time. So William had to make his own living. At the age of eighteen he married a farmer’s daughter.
Not long after he left Stratford for London. London was growing quickly. All kinds of people could be found in it, and here Shakespeare met travelers, students and scholars, and he was very interested in the stories they told. He also met writers and actors. He soon found some work in a theater. Before long he became an actor and writer of plays too. There were a few theatres in London. One of the most famous of these was called Globe. Shakespeare himself became one of the owners of this theater. He became famous as a writer of plays soon after. He made use of the writing of others and found ideas in the old poems of Chaucer. By his gift he turned all these old stories into great works of his own. Shakespeare wrote no fewer than thirty-seven plays in his life. Now his works are loved and studied all over the world.
54. William Shakespeare lived in ________.
A. the 18th century B. the 15th century C. the 16th century D. the 19th century
55. William had to leave school because ________.
A. he tried to find a job in London B. he was tired of the life in the school
C. he had to marry a farmer’s daughter. D. his father was too poor to give him enough money

When I first started reading The Art of War by famous philosopher (哲学家) Sun Tzu, I really had no idea what I was getting into. To be honest, I just thought the title sounded cool. I was in high school at the time and barely knew anything about war or philosophy, let alone (更不必说) a combination (结合) of the two.
As I was trying to read different types of books at the time, some Chinese philosophy like The Art of War sounded like an interesting choice. But as soon as I opened it and started reading, I was immediately confused. Why did so many people find this book interesting? Some quotes (引语) like “The skillful soldier does not raise a second levy, neither are his supply-wagons loaded more than twice”(善用兵者，役不再籍，粮不三载) didn’t make sense to me.
But like most philosophy, The Art of War should not be taken literally (字面上). And after reading a bit more deeply, I found some interesting ideas that I could apply to my own life. For example, the quote “If the enemy leaves a door open, you must tush in”(敌人开阖，必亟入之) can mean to seize (抓住) chances quickly and confidently before they disappear. I believe that the quote “Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances”(故其战胜不复，而应形于无穷) means to be flexible (灵活的) and ready to change your way of thinking when you run into challenges.
It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I still remember some of its lessons. It was an interesting look into ancient Chinese culture that is still useful today. It’s no wonder that so many business people around the world have read it over the years.
57. The author said he was “confused” in Paragraph 2 because ________.
A. he was surprise B. he thought it’s thoughtful
C. he found it interesting D. he wasn’t able to understand
58. Many business people like to read the book because ________.
A. it mirrors modern Chinese culture B. it is still useful today
C. it’s a good book to learn about Chinese customers D. it is recommended by many famous people
59. With the help of Paragraph 3, what is the Chinese meaning of “The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for a chance of defeating the enemy.”?
A. 胜可知，而不可为。 B. 昔之善战者，先为不可胜，以待敌之可胜。
C. 不可胜在己，可胜在敌。 D. 故善战者，能为不可胜，不能使敌之不可胜。
60. Which is CORRECT about The Art of War?
A. It is not difficult to read and understand.
B. It can be taken literally like most philosophy.
C. The more deeply we read it, the harder it will be.
D. It is about the combination of the war and philosophy.
D
Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol.
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms. ”
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?
Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um…wow. That’s just…
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.
Me: Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest?
Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what. Bertha? I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’re just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled alien.
61. Who is hosting the interview?
A. Bertha. B. Aziza Bellamy. C. A trans-galactic visitor. D. A president.
62. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an opinion?
A. Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha.
B. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now.
C. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets.
D. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything.
63. From the passage, we know that Aziza is ________.
A. proud of Bertha B. interested in Zademol
C. dissatisfied with Bertha D. scared of Bertha’s words
64. What might Aziza write in his diary about the interview?
A. It was an unusual interview, and an unexpected experience as well.
B. We should try to improve our earth as Berthas hometown is much better.
C. The interview was interesting. But I dislike the family Bertha is staying with.
D. Talking to Bertha was great fun. I now know much about Zademol.
65. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. boasting a lot is a good way to get people to like us B. there are many good reasons to be boastful
C. people who boast a lot are better than others D. being boastful will win us few friends

There is no doubt that those leaders who are popular with the students in your school must have their advantages over others. ___68___ Take an active part in the activities organized by the excellent leaders and learn from them at once. Then you will know the answer.
___69___ Find the students that have the same interests as you have and start a club. Activities should be organized regularly in the club.

Police dogs are given special training to help the police with their work. Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13-week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely reliable and obedient. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do.
Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go.
Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks.
Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies.
In many countries dogs are used in airports to check luggage for drugs and bombs. Labradors, spaniels and beagles are used for this because they are friendly dogs and people are not afraid of them.

A. the; a B. an; a C. a; / D. an; /
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：迈克的叔叔是一名IT工程师，他通常每隔几个月就开发一种新型的软件。
考查冠词。第一空泛指“一名IT工程师”，IT以元音音素开头，其前用不定冠词an；every few months“每隔几个月”。故选D。

A. He B. It C. This D. That
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——谁在敲门？——我想是送牛奶的。
考查代词用法。根据答句中“I think”可知，不确定敲门的是男还是女，此时就应用it代指。故选B。
23. The population of China ________ over 1.4 billion. China has a bigger population than ________ in the world.
A. is; any country B. is; any other country
C. are; the other countries D. are; any other countries

【解析】
【详解】句意：中国人口超过14亿。中国的人口比世界上任何其他国家都多。

A. price B. prize C. praise D. pride
【答案】C
【解析】

C. grow; are good grown D. grows; grows good
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：那里种植水稻和小麦，由于天气好，它们长得很好。
考查被动语态和副词。根据“Rice and wheat ... there”可知，主语Rice and wheat与谓语grow之间是被动关系，因此用被动语态：be+动词的过去分词，主语是复数，be用are；空二由于grow是动词，修饰动词应用副词，即grow well“生长良好”。故选B。
26. The Great Wall runs ________many forests _______northern China.

【答案】D
【解析】

A. 10 billions B. 10 billions of C. 10 billion D. billion of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：当地的政府已经向绕城修建地铁项目投入100亿美元。根据billion：十亿，前面有基数词“10”，billion不用加上-s，10 billion修饰后面的复数名词dollars。billions of：数以亿计的。根据句意可知，此空应填10 billion，故选C。
29. Do you know when America ________?
A. was discovered B. discovered C. was invented D. invented
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：你知道美洲是什么时候被发现的吗？
考查动词辨析和一般过去时的被动语态。discover发现；invent发明。根据“Do you know when America...?”可知，“when America...”是宾语从句，且美洲本就存在，该从句的动词应选用discover“发现”，表示“美洲是何时被发现的”，从句的主语America“美洲”与谓语动词discover之间是被动关系，被动语态结构为be done，从句用一般过去时，主语America是单数，所以此空是was discovered。故选A。
30. He is very glad that he has ________ to make a delicious cake.
A. succeeded B. finished C. come D. managed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：他很高兴他成功做了一个美味的蛋糕。

A. push in B. push away C. push through D. push for
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：中国梦是凝聚人民、推动我国快速发展的伟大途径。

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：桂林是一个如此美丽的城市，在漓江两岸有许多美丽的花。
考查so与such的区别和代词辨析。so是副词，后面可以接形容词或副词，后接名词时可用“so+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数”结构；such是形容词，修饰名词，结构有“such+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数”。both表示“（两者）都”，either表示“两者中的任何一个”，all表示“（三个及三个以上）都”，此处指漓江两岸，用both。故选A。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你周末过得怎么样？——太好了！周末是我奶奶的九十岁生日。她出生于20世纪30年代。
考查序数词以及年代表达法。ninety九十，基数词；ninetieth第九十，序数词。根据空前“my grandma’s”的提示可知，空一应用序数词，表示顺序，故排除A、B项；in the 1930s“20世纪30年代”，固定用法。故选D。
35. —All the people of Yancheng need to work together to make our city more beautiful.
—That’s it. ________.
A. Practice makes perfect B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do

____48____ the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever ____49____ a day in uniform.

William Shakespeare was born more than 440 years ago and spent his childhood in his hometown, Stratford-on-Avon. Little was known about his childhood though many stories are told, some of which may be true. He probably went to Grammar school at Stratford. At thirteen he had to leave school as his father became poorer at one time. So William had to make his own living. At the age of eighteen he married a farmer’s daughter.
Not long after he left Stratford for London. London was growing quickly. All kinds of people could be found in it, and here Shakespeare met travelers, students and scholars, and he was very interested in the stories they told. He also met writers and actors. He soon found some work in a theater. Before long he became an actor and writer of plays too. There were a few theatres in London. One of the most famous of these was called Globe. Shakespeare himself became one of the owners of this theater. He became famous as a writer of plays soon after. He made use of the writing of others and found ideas in the old poems of Chaucer. By his gift he turned all these old stories into great works of his own. Shakespeare wrote no fewer than thirty-seven plays in his life. Now his works are loved and studied all over the world.

When I first started reading The Art of War by famous philosopher (哲学家) Sun Tzu, I really had no idea what I was getting into. To be honest, I just thought the title sounded cool. I was in high school at the time and barely knew anything about war or philosophy, let alone (更不必说) a combination (结合) of the two.
As I was trying to read different types of books at the time, some Chinese philosophy like The Art of War sounded like an interesting choice. But as soon as I opened it and started reading, I was immediately confused. Why did so many people find this book interesting? Some quotes (引语) like “The skillful soldier does not raise a second levy, neither are his supply-wagons loaded more than twice”(善用兵者，役不再籍，粮不三载) didn’t make sense to me.
But like most philosophy, The Art of War should not be taken literally (字面上). And after reading a bit more deeply, I found some interesting ideas that I could apply to my own life. For example, the quote “If the enemy leaves a door open, you must tush in”(敌人开阖，必亟入之) can mean to seize (抓住) chances quickly and confidently before they disappear. I believe that the quote “Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances”(故其战胜不复，而应形于无穷) means to be flexible (灵活的) and ready to change your way of thinking when you run into challenges.
It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I still remember some of its lessons. It was an interesting look into ancient Chinese culture that is still useful today. It’s no wonder that so many business people around the world have read it over the years.
57. The author said he was “confused” in Paragraph 2 because ________.
A. he was surprise B. he thought it’s thoughtful
C. he found it interesting D. he wasn’t able to understand
58. Many business people like to read the book because ________.
A. it mirrors modern Chinese culture B. it is still useful today
C. it’s a good book to learn about Chinese customers D. it is recommended by many famous people
59. With the help of Paragraph 3, what is the Chinese meaning of “The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for a chance of defeating the enemy.”?
A. 胜可知，而不可为。 B. 昔之善战者，先为不可胜，以待敌之可胜。
C. 不可胜在己，可胜在敌。 D. 故善战者，能为不可胜，不能使敌之不可胜。
60. Which is CORRECT about The Art of War?
A. It is not difficult to read and understand.
B. It can be taken literally like most philosophy.
C. The more deeply we read it, the harder it will be.
D. It is about the combination of the war and philosophy.
【答案】57. D 58. B 59. B 60. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者读《孙子兵法》的感受。

【58题详解】

Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol.
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms. ”
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?
Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um…wow. That’s just…
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.
Me: Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest?
Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what. Bertha? I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’re just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled alien.

Police dogs are given special training to help the police with their work. Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13-week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely reliable and obedient. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do.
Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go.
Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks.
Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies.
