三、完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分)
Like any of the other summer days, my daughter and I were swimming in our pool. This day was common, so I had no way of knowing that this one would go down in our family history as a 36 we cherish(珍惜)and still talk about from time to time.
The sun was setting and the night began to fall. My daughter 37 it first—a spider was spinning her web in the tree that 38 by our pool. It surprised me that she saw this, and it surprised me even more that she wasn’t 39 of the spider.
Instead, she 40 watched as the spider kept herself busy in the cycle of life. As we both watched this wonder of nature, a very simple thought 41 me. I had forgotten what time it was. I honestly didn’t know 42 we had been just staying there and watching that spider making her web. And the truth was that we were 43 having fun. We were having fun without doing anything really 44 or special, I thought. We hadn’t saved the world or
45 the newest, most expensive toy. However, I believe that by 46 this experience of the spider building her web, we were both just quite happy.
What we had done was to spend time together and 47 the simple things in life. We laughed and talked about the 48 of life, and what it means to die and what it means to really live. We talked about how valuable our limited time is on this planet and how we should
49 to enjoy the simple things in life like the flight of a bird. The simple things are the
50 things in life, even when they include spiders and webs.

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch（拱形门）, it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot- water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites（胃口）. This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison（对比）with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling … blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
( )54.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.
A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl
B.turning on a yellow light during the meal
C.painting the walls of the dining room white
D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth
( )55.Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.
A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C.it can easily catch other people’s attention
D.it is the colour that most school children like
( )56.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Colours influence people’s daily lives.
B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C.Different colours are used for different purposes.
D.Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
( )57.What can we infer（推断）from the passage?
A.Amber was not fat at all.
B.Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C.Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives.
D.The arch is painted gold only to make it beautiful.
C
Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. “It’s not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister!” she said.
It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid’s life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling（兄弟姐妹）?
A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert（专家）. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t give, ” said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.
But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competitions, arguments（争吵）and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.
Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So first-borns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and Creative.
( )58.Which of the following is TRUE about Pan Jiachen?
A.She is 17 years old.
B.She comes from Nanjing.
C.She doesn’t like travelling.
D.She wishes that she could have a brother or a sister.
( )59.What does the underlined word “compromise” mean in Chinese?
A.争斗 B.妥协 C.遵守 D.坚持
( )60.Which of the following is the disadvantage of having a brother or a sister?
A.Having arguments and even fights.
B.Sharing secrets with each other.
C.Having a partner to play with.
D.Talking about something with each other.
( )61.From the last paragraph we can know that ____________.
A.the first children are usually funny and creative
B.the birth order has nothing to do with children’s personalities
C.parents are usually strict with their first child
D.the late-born children are often responsible and thirsty for success
D
Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息).
Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was a violent (狂暴的) man especially when he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I was scared of him. I didn’t go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.
My life changed after I lived with the widow (寡妇). She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave (奴隶) Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn’t like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.
Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school, I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left head! Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future.
( )62. How did Huck feel about living with Widow Douglas?
A. He hated his new life. B. He didn’t mind his new life.

第二节(共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everybody has been criticized（批评）. I have been criticized, too. When it is negative（负面的）, it can make me feel awful. 66
Dealing with criticism can be challenging. 67 Let’s see what can be our choices. First, some criticism is useful. For example, “You did not write this article well. You should use the correct form of words and more expressions.”Such advice is given to improve you. When others criticize you in this way, accept it. You might feel you have lost face at that moment. However, just forget about your pride and listen carefully. Try to think deeply and put the suggestions to use in life. 68 because they are helping you become a better person.
If a person gives you negative criticism, try to ask them to say more about it. You could ask them like this, “I did my best. 69 ”
Some criticism is a lot less helpful. For example, “You did your homework so carelessly. Why do your classmates do better than you?”Here, you are told you are bad.But no helpful advice is given! The criticism can make you less confident. 70 I think people who give that kind of negative criticism are poor communicators.
I hope my advice today can help guide you into a new mind.
A.But no one teaches us how to give or take it.
B.Can you give me some suggestions?
C.So criticism is necessary in our daily life.
D.Don’t misunderstand others’ kindness,
E.Well, if it is positive（正面的）, I can learn and grow from it.
F.What’s wrong with me?
G.When that happens, don’t take it so seriously.
66.___________ 67.___________ 68.___________ 69.___________ 70.___________

Many teenagers don’t get along well with their parents and they don’t know what to do. If you face such a problem, what I’m saying now might be 81 (help) to you.
Have you ever thought of 82 (talk) to your parents to find out why you don’t get along well with each other? When I was a teenager, I didn’t get on well with my parents, either. We sometimes argued with each other. I am sorry that I had such an experience. Now I’m a mother of four girls. Of course, we have different opinions, but I encourage them to communicate with me openly and 83 (honest). In this way, I make sure that they trust me and come to me for anything. As a result, we get along very well.
Arguing with your parents will certainly 84 (make) them angry and you won’t feel good. Also, remember that 85 (important) thing is to solve problems and 86 (silent) will only make the situation worse. Try your best to be calm. If you cannot control your 87 (feel), you can go to a doctor or your teacher who could give you 88 (advise) on your problem.
Remember that your parents love you. Sometimes they do something that you can 89 (hard) understand. For example, you may want to be an 90 (art) in the future, but your parents want you to do something else. If so, try to think in their shoes.
Life is too short and family is important. Try your best to get along well with your parents.
81. 82. 83. 84. 85.___________
86. 87. 88. 89. 90. ___________

Like any of the other summer days, my daughter and I were swimming in our pool. This day was common, so I had no way of knowing that this one would go down in our family history as a 36 we cherish(珍惜)and still talk about from time to time.
The sun was setting and the night began to fall. My daughter 37 it first—a spider was spinning her web in the tree that 38 by our pool. It surprised me that she saw this, and it surprised me even more that she wasn’t 39 of the spider.
Instead, she 40 watched as the spider kept herself busy in the cycle of life. As we both watched this wonder of nature, a very simple thought 41 me. I had forgotten what time it was. I honestly didn’t know 42 we had been just staying there and watching that spider making her web. And the truth was that we were 43 having fun. We were having fun without doing anything really 44 or special, I thought. We hadn’t saved the world or
45 the newest, most expensive toy. However, I believe that by 46 this experience of the spider building her web, we were both just quite happy.
What we had done was to spend time together and 47 the simple things in life. We laughed and talked about the 48 of life, and what it means to die and what it means to really live. We talked about how valuable our limited time is on this planet and how we should
49 to enjoy the simple things in life like the flight of a bird. The simple things are the
50 things in life, even when they include spiders and webs.

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch（拱形门）, it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot- water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites（胃口）. This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison（对比）with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling … blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
( )54.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.
A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl
B.turning on a yellow light during the meal
C.painting the walls of the dining room white
D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth
( )55.Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.
A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C.it can easily catch other people’s attention
D.it is the colour that most school children like
( )56.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Colours influence people’s daily lives.
B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C.Different colours are used for different purposes.
D.Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
( )57.What can we infer（推断）from the passage?
A.Amber was not fat at all.
B.Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C.Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives.
D.The arch is painted gold only to make it beautiful.

Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. “It’s not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister!” she said.
It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid’s life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling（兄弟姐妹）?
A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert（专家）. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t give, ” said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.
But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competitions, arguments（争吵）and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.
Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So first-borns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and Creative.
( )58.Which of the following is TRUE about Pan Jiachen?
A.She is 17 years old.
B.She comes from Nanjing.
C.She doesn’t like travelling.
D.She wishes that she could have a brother or a sister.
( )59.What does the underlined word “compromise” mean in Chinese?

( )60.Which of the following is the disadvantage of having a brother or a sister?
A.Having arguments and even fights.
B.Sharing secrets with each other.

D.Talking about something with each other.
( )61.From the last paragraph we can know that ____________.
A.the first children are usually funny and creative
B.the birth order has nothing to do with children’s personalities
C.parents are usually strict with their first child
D.the late-born children are often responsible and thirsty for success

Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息).
Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, disappeared.

Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school, I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left head! Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future.

第二节(共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everybody has been criticized（批评）. I have been criticized, too. When it is negative（负面的）, it can make me feel awful. 66
Dealing with criticism can be challenging. 67 Let’s see what can be our choices. First, some criticism is useful. For example, “You did not write this article well. You should use the correct form of words and more expressions.”Such advice is given to improve you. When others criticize you in this way, accept it. You might feel you have lost face at that moment. However, just forget about your pride and listen carefully. Try to think deeply and put the suggestions to use in life. 68 because they are helping you become a better person.
If a person gives you negative criticism, try to ask them to say more about it. You could ask them like this, “I did my best. 69 ”
Some criticism is a lot less helpful. For example, “You did your homework so carelessly. Why do your classmates do better than you?”Here, you are told you are bad.But no helpful advice is given! The criticism can make you less confident. 70 I think people who give that kind of negative criticism are poor communicators.
I hope my advice today can help guide you into a new mind.
A.But no one teaches us how to give or take it.
B.Can you give me some suggestions?
C.So criticism is necessary in our daily life.
D.Don’t misunderstand others’ kindness,
E.Well, if it is positive（正面的）, I can learn and grow from it.
F.What’s wrong with me?
G.When that happens, don’t take it so seriously.
66.___________ 67.___________ 68.___________ 69.___________ 70.___________

Many teenagers don’t get along well with their parents and they don’t know what to do. If you face such a problem, what I’m saying now might be 81 (help) to you.
Have you ever thought of 82 (talk) to your parents to find out why you don’t get along well with each other? When I was a teenager, I didn’t get on well with my parents, either. We sometimes argued with each other. I am sorry that I had such an experience. Now I’m a mother of four girls. Of course, we have different opinions, but I encourage them to communicate with me openly and 83 (honest). In this way, I make sure that they trust me and come to me for anything. As a result, we get along very well.
Arguing with your parents will certainly 84 (make) them angry and you won’t feel good. Also, remember that 85 (important) thing is to solve problems and 86 (silent) will only make the situation worse. Try your best to be calm. If you cannot control your 87 (feel), you can go to a doctor or your teacher who could give you 88 (advise) on your problem.
Remember that your parents love you. Sometimes they do something that you can 89 (hard) understand. For example, you may want to be an 90 (art) in the future, but your parents want you to do something else. If so, try to think in their shoes.
Life is too short and family is important. Try your best to get along well with your parents.
81. 82. 83. 84. 85.___________
