My father 11 me to her with these words：“I would like you to meet the fellow who is 12 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, 13 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied,“You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the 14 one who hasn’t yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm.” That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a 15 boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he 16 with great honors.

I remember it really well. My parents drove me to the school and said goodbye to me. I took a deep breath and walked into the school. I didn’t know what to feel. I was excited and scared and a bit nervous, all at the same time. There were lots of other kids around. They were already in groups of friends, but none of them said hello or anything. It was a strange feeling for me, like I didn’t really belong there. I wanted to be somewhere else, but that wasn’t possible. The first thing I had to do was register, so I went to a room in the school that had a sign saying “Administration”. Suddenly, I felt like I was some kind of criminal. They started asking me all kinds of questions. Then I went off to my first class. My first class. Wow, that was horrible. Perhaps it was because my hair or clothes were different, but everyone just looked at me in such a strange way. And just like when I arrived, no one came to talk to me. Incredibly, that’s never happened: no one has even taken the time to get高二英语试卷第 6 页（共 12 页） to know me or like me. I have friends because I made the first move to meet people. Maybe the worst class that day, though, was Science. The teacher wasn’t too bad. She introduced me to the class and showed me where to sit. But the other students? Well, they looked at me like I was a guinea pig or something they were going to use for an experiment. I hated every minute. Then there was a break and I went to sit somewhere alone, missing my mum and dad. But I thought they’d want me to keep trying, so I tried to be more positive in the next class. Not so good, though. Everyone talked to other students, but I sat by myself. At the end of the day, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. But, as time passed, things have got better. Now I’m doing fine and I get OK grades. I’ve learned lots of things — but not what the teachers teach. I’ve learned that I’m strong and brave. I’ve learned that I will succeed even if some things aren’t the way I want them to be. 29. From the passage, we can learn that . A. Sunaina was well received upon the arrival at school B. Sunaina was treated as a criminal in the register department. C. Nobody wanted to waste time getting to know Sunaina at first. D. Other students’ hair and clothes were similar to Sunaina in her class. 30. What made Sunaina think Science the worst class that day? A. The Science teacher’s quality and qualification. B. The way the other students looked at Sunaina. C. The way the teacher introduced Sunaina to the class. D. The other students’ thinking of using Sunaina for an experiment. 31. Which of the following is suitable to describe Sunaina? A. Weak and scary. B. Tough and courageous. C. Sensitive and shy. D. Generous and outgoing. 32. What does the story intend to tell us? A. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. B. A life without a friend is a life without a sun. C. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. D. A good word is warm in winter, but a bad word hurts in June.高二英语试卷第 7 页（共 12 页） C Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP) was founded by Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) in 1979. With the characteristics of foreign language and educational publishing, FLTRP is now the leading comprehensive cultural and educational publishing organization in China with worldwide reputation. During the past 40 years after its founding, FLTRP has always been carrying out its business with the mission of “recording human civilization and bridging world cultures”. Relying on the academic advantages of BFSU, FLTRP is now capable of publishing diversified books and journals in more than 80 languages every year. In the meantime, FLTRP has also been actively engaged in exploring the transformation of educational services and digital innovation, expanding its global business and promoting cultural exchange between China and foreign countries, for which FLTRP is hailed as the “true industry leader” and the “epitome (缩影) of the reform and development of China’s publishing industry” in China’s foreign language publishing market. Responding to the state call of carrying out the transformation of digital publishing, Beijing Viaton Education & Technology Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Viaton) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLTRP.

D Most people hold the belief that young people from poor families whose socio-economic backgrounds are not in bad conditions tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and it was expected to help them succeed in education. However, the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not willing to get involved in the process. To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on researches showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program invited many trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The高二英语试卷第 9 页（共 12 页） program also gave the parents some guidance to communicate with their children, and useful skills on child development. At the age of three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structures. What they found through the program was that one of the most important factors that affected the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families. The “Missouri” program is quite different from “Headstart” program. From what they did we can draw a conclusion: Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness. 37. What can we learn about the “Headstart” program? A. It helped many children from poor families to make progress. B. It failed because the children they helped had already fallen behind. C. It helped the children involved succeed in their education soon. D. It succeeded in improving the intelligence of all the children. 38. We can learn from the second paragraph that the “Missouri” program . A. focused on the children’s first school teachers. B. helped the children return to the same home. C. made the children improved in many aspects. D. gave the parents advice on their development. 39. What does the underlined word “interaction” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Intelligence. B. Performance. C. Education. D. Communication. 40. The last paragraph tells us that . A. parents play an important role in children’s education. B. it is impossible to overcome educational unfairness. C. poor families cannot change the fate of their children. D. The “Missouri” program pay more attention to the ages.高二英语试卷第 10 页（共 12 页） 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Tips for successful gift giving Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift a mood or improve a relationship. Whatever the occasion, gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration. 41 We spoke to some experts to help us craft a simple guide to gifting. Don’t add a small gift to a big gift. When we receive gifts in a bundle, we tend to unconsciously average out their value, so a small gift tacked （ 固 定 ） onto a big one will hurt the latter’s impact. 42 43 A dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist in concert will give you memories that last forever. Experiences often have more thought gone into them, and they create more vivid memories. We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two-week holiday to Florida – the memories and the emotional attachment to experiences are greater than to physical objects. Think like the receiver. 44 That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we'd like. People tend to use gifts as jokes, encouragements to change one’s ways, or to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility or happiness to the receiver. Remember there’s a reason why we say that it’s the thought that counts. 45 Most people don’t want lots of money spent on them — they just want you to think about them, and that can be done in lots of easy ways. A. Gift things you like best. B. So there are a set of rules to follow. C. Gift experiences rather than things. D. Don’t forget why you are giving gifts. E. Buy things your receiver would buy for themselves. F. When you give others gifts, never forget to choose the expensive things. G. When it comes to gift giving, remember that sometimes less is more.高一英语试卷第 11 页（共 11 页） 第一节（15 分） 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，35 分） 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华，你的美国笔友 Jim 来信向你询问中医的相关信息。 请根据以下提示给他写封回信。 1. 中医有着悠久的历史，经过了数千年的实践和发展； 2. 中医也是一门科学，它的优点正得到越来越广泛的认可； 3. 你自己对中医的看法。 注意：词数不少于 50。 参考词汇：“中医” Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） （请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内） 高二英语试卷第 11 页（共 12 页）第二节（20 分） 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，为校刊“英语角” 投稿，记述上周端午节时，你和父母去看望爷爷奶奶，并学习了包粽子的整个过程。 注意：1.词数不少于 60； 2.开头已给出。 During Dragon Boat Festival holiday, my parents and I went to see my grandparents.

We enjoyed our family time together. Before going to my grandparents’ home, we went shopping in a nearby supermarket for groceries. We bought some of my grandparents’ favorite food as well as sticky rice and bamboo leaves—ingredients to make Zongzi , a traditional food that we eat during Dragon Boat Festival. Carrying all our purchases, we went to my grandparents’. Not having seen one another for some time, we were all very happy for the get-together. My grandparents had missed us very much. After a pleasant chitchat, exchanging the latest news in our lives, I asked my grandma to teach me how to make Zongzi. Grandma then began showing me the “standard procedure” in Zongzi making—soaking the sticky rice and bamboo leaves and washing the red dates. Seeing the bowls and plates of different sizes, I was almost overwhelmed. I had never realized it would take so much delicate handwork to make a Zongzi. However, my grandma proved a great teacher, and I a quick learner. After making the Zongzi, we sat down to a full table of family traditional dishes that my parents had cooked. Not only did we enjoy the delicious meal, but also the funny stories that were told around the dinner table. It’s true, laughter is the best medicine. I was so happy that my whole family praised my Zongzi. And seing their smiling faces after taking the first bite, it really made my day. I’ll always remember this day. For sure, nothing beats quality time together with family.
