A.$50 B.$54 C.$35 D. $34 B One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的） to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 24. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 25. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals 第 7 页 共 15 页 B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 26. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book. C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. C After 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564 － 1616) is still widely celebrated as a great craftsman of language and playwright (剧作家). But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less famous worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China's greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions. Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare having plenty of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream Under the Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion—widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the latter three plays, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368－1644) and his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime. As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare's England, there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events. During this time, the way in which dramas were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the mid-16th century, Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China and became a symbol of Chinese culture. While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, they have in common the humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, the lasting popularity—and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them. 第 8 页 共 15 页 28．Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang? A．To compare the writing styles of the writers. B．To emphasize Tang's importance in literature. C．To assess the achievements of these two great writers. D．To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare. 29．What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang's other plays? A．It does not rely heavily on dream scenes. B．It is widely considered to be his best work. C．It is the only play to be publicly performed. D．It challenges the feudal system of ancient China. 30 ． What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang's lifetime? A．Music and poetry were present in most performances. B．The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly. C．Different social classes often attended the same performances. D．Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than to be performed. 31．Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A．Tang's plays are as remarkable as his poems. B．Tang's plays are more famous than Shakespeare's. C．Tang is one of the best playwrights in Chinese history. D．Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other's works. D Whenever someone begins to talk to me about how horrible it is to eat meat and suggests that a nice piece of tofu would be jus t as good, I just smile and show them those nice pointy teeth we all have in the corners of our mouths. They are called canines (犬牙), and they are there only for the purpose of eating meat. When it comes to satisfying this kind of desire, soy (豆类) food can never match a well-prepared tri-tip (also know as triangle beef steak ). Just the thought of the beef, burning on the grill (烤架) with the smell of wood smoke gets the mouth watering and brings back memories of summer barbecues. When the knife cuts through the tri- tip, exposing the red meat bursting with juices, it's more than just cooking. It's a cultural event, showing we are at the top of the food chain, like no other food can. 第 9 页 共 15 页 Nutritionally speaking, the tri-tip is one of the better cuts of beef. It is lower in fat than many other cuts, and the proteins (蛋白质) you get from eating meat are more complete than those that come from vegetables, making meat a better choice for building and keeping up your muscle tissue healthy. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, one thing to be aware of with soy products in general is that while they are high in iron, a necessary mineral for the body, they also contain something that blocks the body's absorption of iron. We can cook them in various ways to make them tasty. Anyway, the tri-tip goes a lot better with ice-cold beer than a large piece of bean-curd cheese would, no matter how you cook it. I guess I should say at least one good thing about tofu. If you cook it just right, you can make it taste a little like the tri-tip, but only a little. 32. What's the author's attitude towards eating meat? A. Uncaring. B. Approving. C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious. 33. From the second paragraph, we learn that a well-prepared tri-tip ______. A. can be delicious and unforgettable B. can be served only for barbecues C. should be eaten with soy food D. should be cooked longer on the grill 34. Compared with tofu, the tri-tip is ______. A. more nutritious but poorer in proteins B. higher in iron and other useful minerals C. more beneficial for muscle development D. harder for eaters to take in its iron 35. The best title of the passage is ______. A. The tri-tip, your right choice B. Differences between tri-tip and tofu C. Tofu, a nutritious soy food D. Best food partner — Tri-tip and tofu In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social-progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. H owever, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying, they 第 10 页 共 15 页 always have an excuse:"I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistake belief that-one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition. 32. What does this text mainly talk about? A Competition helps to set up self-respect. B. People hold different opinions about competition. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experience in competition. 33. Some people favor competition because they think it __. A. pushes society forward B. builds up a sense of pride C. improves social abilities D. develops people's relationship 34. The underlined phrase "the most vocal”in Paragraph 3 refers to those who A. try their best to win B. highly value competition C. are strongly against competition D. mostly rely on others for success 35. Which view point does the author agree to? A Self-worth relys on winning. B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship. C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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. 第 11 页 共 15 页 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. 1.Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious. 37 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?” And then try them out.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. 第 14 页 共 15 页 The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?" "Oh, yes… but I don't have money on me…" she replied. "That's nothing. I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in." The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. "What is it?" asked the man kindly. "Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!" Hearing the words, the seller smiled, "Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?" Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me." On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右; 2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好; 4.续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny look a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back 第 15 页 共 15 页 _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______
