第二节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1分,共20分）
阅读下面短文后所给的四个选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn‘t like attention drawn to myself. And
26 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 27 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 28 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 29 because I didn‘t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 30 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teache r who kept insisting on my ―31 for it‖, I wouldn‘t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 32 of it! When I first started 33 the practice sessions, I didn‘t even know the rules of the game, much 34 what I was doing. Sometimes I‘d get 35 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.
36 , I wasn‘t the only one ―new‖ at the game, so I decided to 37 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not b e too hard on myself for the things I didn‘t 38 ―just yet‖(现在).
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 39 and the ―moves‖. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 40 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 41 —friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 42 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from ―43‖ in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 44 raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn‘t and not 100 percent 45 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
26. A. as B. unless C. until D. though
27. A. chose B. agreed C. meant D. hoped
28. A. continued B. settled C. changed D. started
29. A. saying B. plan C. belief D. idea
30. A. right B. ability C. chance D. patience
31. A. looking B. going C. cheering D. applying
32. A. point B. rest C. half D. basis
33. A. attending B. preparing C. enjoying D. watching
34. A. worse B. later C. less D. further
35. A. committed B.motivated C. embarrassed D. confused
36. A. Interestingly B. Obviously C. Fortunately D. hopefully
37. A. try B. act C. rely D. focus
38. A. want B. do C. know D. support
39. A. steps B. rules C. orders D. games
40. A. part B. roles C. mind D. value
41. A. movement B. operation C. process D. situation
42. A. improved B. expressed C. preserved D. recognized
43. A. dreaming B. playing C. hiding D. relaxing
44. A. to B. for C. with D. by
45. A. lucky B. happy C. satisfied D. sure
第三部分：阅读理解（共两节, 满分30分）
阅读下面短文后所给的四个选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It‘s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难).
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked; trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏)–bread, vegetables and other things –not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, ―just for fear that something bad should happen.‖Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don‘t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.
46. According to the writer, Britain is a country ________.
A. which has regular snow
B. for which snow is a wonder
C. for which snow is not a catastrophe
D. which is not well prepared for snow
47. The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except _______
A. traffic
B. communication
C. food supplies
D. service quality
48. After a few hours‘ snowing there a re often shortages of food because ________
A．people buy as much as they can B．shops have closed down
C．farmers can‘t produce any more D．people eat more vegetables in winter
49. The first reason why the British don‘t buy snow ploughs is that ______
A．spreading salt is good enough B．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used often D．the hospital is more important

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius(天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic(不现实) expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible(明智) way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michael‘s mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael‘s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. ―When I was your age I used to win every competition I enter.‖ Winston‘s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy.

D
Maria sat by the glass door that faced the side yard. The door hadn‘t been opened as long as she had lived there. The dirty yard outside was overgrown with weeds (杂草). Maria liked to look at the weeds. Small flowers would grow, followed by seed balls. And the seed carriers would fly away.
The late afternoon sunlight died into night. Turning on the light, Maria picked up her colored pencils and notepaper. She worked on a picture of a clearing in a forest.
"Maria!" called her father, who knew where to find her. "I‘m back!" He had been working at the apartments next door.
"Did you fix their broken blender, Papa?" She asked, and he said, "Yes." He pushed his daughter‘s wheelchair into the kitchen so that she could help him prepare dinner. Maria cut up the vegetables that Papa had grown in the small yard behind the house. She loved their bright colors, their strange shapes, and their fresh, crispy taste before being cooked. She would have loved to garden herself, but it was hard for her to sit on the ground and work.
As they ate and talked about their day, Papa told Maria that his brother, Ramon, would be coming over the next day to help him with a special project. Papa had asked Mr. Yamato, the bus driver, to take her to Aunt Gabriela‘ s hous e after school. Then Papa would pick her up when the project was finished. Maria wondered why she had to be away while he worked. There was something in Papa‘s eyes and in his voice, perhaps -that told her not to ask.
When Papa brought her home the next evening, he asked her to close her eyes while he took her to the glass door. She heard him open the curtain. Then he said, "Open your eyes."
Surely she was dreaming! The tall crowd of weeds was gone. In its place was a beautiful garden. There were young trees, flowery bushes, and colorful little flowers. Papa opened the glass door. He wheeled Maria to a path that placed her at the heart of the little garden. Then she saw the best part. Along the house were raised wooden beds of soil, just waiting to be planted - by her! They were exactly the right height for her to reach from her wheelchair.
"First I‘ll draw a plan," she said excitedly.
"And then we‘ll go to the garden center," said Papa. "You‘re a gardener now, Maria!"
57. From the story, we can learn that Papa_______.
A. likes his garden better than his daughter
B. is interested in fixing broken blenders
C. wants the readers to look at his project
D. cares very much for his daughter Maria
58. The author wants to____ by writing this passage.
A. impress the readers with a happy and moving story
B. show us plants for sale at the garden center in the yard
C. encourage readers that gardening is easy and full of fun
D. inform readers about some special projects with gardening
59. Maria could not help Papa in the garden because____.
A. Papa didn‘t want anyone to touch his flowers
B. it was hard for her to sit on the ground and work
C. she didn‘t know how to care for vegetable plants
D. the garden was full of weeds and tiny seed balls
60. The best title for the story is________.
A. A special problem
B. A beautiful garden
C. Maria‘s garden
D. A girl on wheelchair
第二部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowd—and among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status. In 1985, Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America. Shortly after he reached the peak, Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg. At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death, but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away. He chose immediate goals, such as reaching a nearby rock, and then gave himself a time limit to get there. Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals.
Break your main task into smaller goals. This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objecti ves that seem to be ―mission impossible‖.
Language learning, similar to mountain climbing to some extent, is a daunting task facing most language learners. However, learning from the above story, we can apply Simpson‘s method to language study. My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows:
1. Understand what kind of learner you are.
Some people are ―visual learners‖ and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind; others are ―auditory‖ and are happy to learn by listening;―kinesthetic‖ learners tend to learn by doing things and experience.
2. Realize your own competence.
What are your strengths and weaknesses? Which skill or skills are you going to improve most? Allocate your time to each skill appropriately. It is better to do a little every day than try to ―cram‖ (死记硬背)lots in a short space of time.
3. Write down your plan on a calendar.
Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day. More importantly, your plan should be specific and practical. Once you have a clear goal in your mind, write it down on your calendar. Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule. Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.
Studying is like climbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time. At first sight, a
mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak. However, when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think. Similarly, it is also true in language learning. You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step. Don‘t be frightened by the seemingly hard task. Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream.
