In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.

The child redoubled his efforts. They had a battle on the stairs. The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose and because the dog was very small. He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with victory across the doorway. No family member was in. The child sat down on the floor and made overtures to（向…示好）the dog.

Reading and writing poetry is a very personal experience. Poets use language as a way of expressing their feelings. Poems can describe the beauty of nature, a person, a dream or a memorable event.

But teachers and psychologists have found another use for poetry as a form of therapy（疗法）to help people with problems. Writing poetry can help people deal with changes in their lives, death or feelings of sadness, drug or alcohol problems or serious illness. Poems written as therapy can be funny too, as laughter is also considered to be very good medicine.

Students at a special school in Dudley, in England, read and write poems every day. Some of the poems they write are very good, but their reason for writing is not just to be creative. All of them have problems. Some of them have long-term medical conditions, such as cancer, while others have personality disorders or psychological problems. By writing poems students are growing in self-confidence. The poems provide a channel through which they can communicate with the world, and express their feelings. They also help them to recognize and explore their problems and to develop a positive attitude to life.

But the poems are helping other people, too. The school has collected some of the students’ poems and published them in a book which is being sold to raise funds for a local hospital. The book has proved very popular, giving students a sense of motivation and achievement.

22. How can poetry work as therapy?

A. By solving physical problems.      B. By staying away from humor.

C. By communicating face to face.      D. By promoting expression.

23. What makes the students of the school in Dudley special?

A. They suffer many problems.      B. They know many poems.

C. They are very confident.       D. They are very positive.

24. What does the published book mean to the students?

A. They’ll get wealthy.        B. They’ll get inspired.

C. They’ll become popular psychologists.    D. They’ll become professional poets.

25. Which of the following might serve as the best title of this passage?

A. The creation of poetry.       B. The power of poetry.

C. The development of poetry.      D. The appreciation of poetry.

We have all cycled (rode a bicycle) at least once in our life. Many do remember getting our first bike and falling off it many many times.    26    It is just as intense as swimming or running depending on your effort levels. You can benefit from it both physically and mentally. If you’re looking to energizing your love for cycling once again—or rather your fitness, then check out the below facts about Cycling.    27  

Low impact exercise. Cycling is a low impact exercise when compared to running.    28    And you don’t need much other than a bike and a fitness watch to track your time to get started.

Great for your energy. Have you reached that age where a flight of stairs to work is enough to tire you out? Don’t worry!    29    Cycling improves your cardiovascular（心血管）fitness. It in turn leads to more energy and better heart health. You’re left feeling absolutely amazing.

Great for mental health. Exercising releases the feel-good chemical in our brains and gives us a “natural high” type of feeling. This in turn helps your overall mood feel better and can help with anxiety and depression.

   30    Once you start cycling and feel the pain, just remember why you’re doing it. Whenever you’re struggling, push yourself with the thought that you want to become better.

A. If so, you should stop cycling for a while.

B. Cycling is a great aerobic（有氧的）exercise.

C. Some people tend to get knee pain after cycling.

D. You’re not alone and I was the same until recently.

E. Hopefully, it inspires you to turn those wheels once again.

The old 1986 truck was large and inconvenient. So it was not an ideal vehicle for Ian Cheney’s    31    inner-city neighborhood in New York. Many New Yorkers would look at the truck and think of a rubbish dump. Ian Cheney looked at his grandfather’s truck and thought of a (n)    32   .

As in other large cities, there are not many places to grow food in New York. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many urban farmers in New York have found    33    ways to grow vegetables. There are rooftop gardens high above the city. There is even a (n)    34    garden in the Hudson River. Cheney, however, didn’t have    35    to any of these. So the old truck was a (n)    36    solution. The back of the truck provided him with the    37    he needed. “Since I don’t have a roof-top to grow any food,” Cheney explains. “It seemed like the logical thing to do.”

So Cheney    38    to work. First, he drilled holes in the truck bed for drainage-allowing water to pass through the bed. Then he laid down a recycled plastic mat. The soil came next. He made sure that everything was organic. Cheney    39    organic because he wanted to grow vegetables without chemicals. Then he planted lettuce, herbs, spinach, and tomatoes. Finally, he watered and waited.

When the food was ready to pick, Cheney drove the truck from one urban neighborhood to another. He    40    some of the vegetables. He sold the rest to friends and neighbors. Everywhere he parked, passersby stopped and talked about the beautiful vegetable garden in the back of the truck.

Cheney is    41    about food. He strongly believes that people are better off eating more local food, because it reduces economic and environmental    42   . There is also the question of nutrition. Less nutritional benefits of vegetables    43    over time. So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you.

Cheney continues to plant his truck and drive it around New York neighborhoods. He hopes that fresh and healthy food can be    44    in more places, including inner-city areas. As Cheney says, “If we can grow food in the back of a 1986 Dodge pickup, we can    45    find better ways to grow more fresh produce.”

After graduating in 1953, he worked as a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that    46    (large) fields were not the solution. Instead, farmers needed to boost yields    47    the fields they had. How this could be done was a    48    (challenge) question at the time. Yuan was convinced that the answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice. A hybrid is a cross between two or more    49    (variety) of a species. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a higher yield than    50    (convention) crops. However,    51    it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice was    52    matter of great debate. The common    53    (assume) then was that it could not be done.

第三节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As this term began, I found a new student in my class named Ian Bonus 16 years old. He was silent, always doing business alone. From his file, I leaned that Ian was born in Korea, and spent all his childhood there until his family moved to England. It wasn’t as smooth and easy as he imagined. He had to learn and speak a new language so as to communicate with others. When at school, he tended to avoid crowds. He usually tried every possible means to keep his mouth shut up, even in class. Besides, after class, he didn’t join any clubs or activities even though everyone around him invited him to have a try.

At the beginning, I thought Ian was just a little shy at his age especially in a new place. However, later he still didn’t say a single word when classmates got along well. Having ever dealt with such similar situation myself, I felt I had the suitable experience and the right responsibility to encourage him to melt into our class. Finally, a chance came. One day, in my class, it was Ian’s turn to make a short speech as other students did regularly. But he just stood up, saying nothing. Then I could feel his face red with embarrassment. Next class, we had a P.E. lesson on the court. Again, he didn’t join, just sitting on the bench watching others play. Learning that he was fond of sports and was actually a very athletic and energetic person, I felt a strong desire to persuade him to play together. With this thought in mind, I walked over and sat aside Ian.

注意：

1.续写词数应150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Hello, Ian, why not join us in playing badminton?” I smiled, “I know you can play well.”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning, Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech he missed the day before.

Dear John,

I’m writing to invite you to a lecture on the first aid treatment for sports injuries. It will be held from 3 pm to 5 pm next Friday at the Student Center on our campus.

This lecture aims to help our school become a safer place for everyone. It covers the common types of sports injuries, their causes, sport-specific prevention and first aid treatment methods. Knowing that you are always keen on playing sports, I think this lecture will be really helpful to you. If you are interested, just let me know as soon as possible.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

【答案】One possible version:

“Hello, Ian, why not join us in playing badminton?” I smiled, “I know you can play well.” However, he shook his head and smiled shyly. Then I told him it was common for a newcomer and I could understand how he was feeling. I hoped he could tell me the reason and be more active. He was moved and told me that the reason was his lack of confidence to speak English in front of others and his fear of being teased. Then I encouraged him to seize every chance to practice and later we decided on some useful tips.

The next morning, Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech he missed the day before. “Hello, everyone. I’m Ian Bonus from Korea. Before my speech, I’d like to express my sincere thanks to you all, especially our teacher.” Then he finished a brilliant speech fluently. After that, he was active in every discussion in class and joined an after-school sports club with new friends. Since then whether on the court or during speeches, confident smiles were always on his face.

【解析】

【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一位人民教师，他发现班上新来的同学伊恩不太适应新的环境，加上他自身的性格比较害羞从而比较难于融入集体。作者也能感同身受，通过用自己合适的经验和正确的责任来鼓励他融入课堂，要请他一起加入运动项目，最后伊恩在他的鼓励之下，变得越来越自信、阳光的故事。

【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“你好，伊恩，为什么不和我们一起打羽毛球？”可知，第一段可描写作者想要邀请伊恩参加羽手球赛以及伊恩受到邀请之后的反应。

②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，伊恩自愿走上讲台，弥补他前一天错过的演讲。”可知，第二段可描写作者对于伊恩的鼓励起到了作用，描写伊恩受鼓舞之后的一系列的改变。

2.续写线索：初到——表现不适——感同身受——鼓励——改变

3.词汇激活

行为类

①发现：find/ notice/ discover

②学习：learn/ master/ take a good command of

③处理：deal with/ cope with/ handle

情绪类

①感谢：thanks/ appreciation/ gratitude

②真诚的：sincere/ genuine

【点睛】[高分句型 1] Then I told him it was common for a newcomer and I could understand how he was feeling.（由省略的that引导的宾语从句，and并列两个从句）

[高分句型 2] The next morning, Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech that he missed the day before.（由关系代词that引导非限制性定语从句）
