二、完形填空

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs（突破）. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him he thought he was able to be so much more than the average person. He responded that it all came from a(n) with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to milk from the fridge when he the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been . Would you like to get down and in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can .” The little boy learned that if he the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful !

This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just for learning something new, which is, , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't ,” we usually learn something from it.

三、阅读理解

1.Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to Dorling，where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.

They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.

Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind.

3.Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with people from around the world. This

means that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of London became the standard. In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.

The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ. Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors: firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words;

secondly, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.

From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English. Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）British expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English, with words like canyon, ranch,

stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English. French words and West African words also influenced American English.

Today, American English is the most influential(有影响力的). But there are many other kinds of English around the world, including Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English , Indian English and Caribbean English. They have differences. 【1】What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A．The dialect of London became the standard in the year 1604. B．Vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of Middle English C．The first English dictionary was published in the early 17th century.

D．Many new words entered English because many people moved to Britain.

【2】From Paragraph 2, we know that the Industrial Revolution __________. A．required spelling and grammar to be fixed B．required a greater number of English words C．caused many old English words to be useless D．led to the English colonization of North America.

【3】The underlined word “froze” in Paragraph 3 shows that some English words in America___________. A．became longer B．greatly changed C．a little changed D．stayed as they were

【4】What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss? A．The development of Modern English

B．How the English vocabulary became larger C．Differences among the different kinds of English

D．Differences between Middle English and Modern English

4.Her frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.

Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didn’t mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe.

She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually. As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. Five whole nickels（五分币） had brought her that candle.

She gave it to her mother for Mother’s Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “It’s very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced.

By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better.

No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound.

She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward

the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object.

She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him.

And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both. 【1】The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to ______. A．keep herself from the cold B．wait for the boy to come C．want to be left alone D．seek safety from any hurt

【2】From the story, we can learn that ______. A．the girl suffered a lot in her life

B．the girl’s parents divorced because of her C．teachers and friends treated the girl badly

D．the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad

【3】The underlined word “it” in the story refers to ______. A．leaning back against the branch B．being alone in the world C．not being disturbed at night D．it being dark with snow around

【4】From the end of the story, it can be known that the girl _______. A．knew the person

B．knew what the object was C．realized her wishes

D．would never feel alone any more

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs（突破）.

He responded that it all came from a(n) with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to milk from the fridge when he the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been . Would you like to get down and in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

1.Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well.

The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.

They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，

twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.

Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind.

3.Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with people from around the world. This

means that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of London became the standard. In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.

The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ. Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors: firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words;

secondly, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.

From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English. Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）British expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English, with words like canyon, ranch,

stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English. French words and West African words also influenced American English.

Today, American English is the most influential(有影响力的). But there are many other kinds of English around the world, including Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English , Indian English and Caribbean English. They have differences. 【1】What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A．The dialect of London became the standard in the year 1604. B．Vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of Middle English C．The first English dictionary was published in the early 17th century.

D．Many new words entered English because many people moved to Britain.

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由“ In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.”可知第一部英语辞典是在17世纪早起出现的。故选C。

【2】From Paragraph 2, we know that the Industrial Revolution __________. A．required spelling and grammar to be fixed B．required a greater number of English words C．caused many old English words to be useless D．led to the English colonization of North America.

4.Her frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.

Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The

winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didn’t mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe. She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm

green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually.

As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. Five whole nickels（五分币） had brought her that candle.

She gave it to her mother for Mother’s Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “It’s very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced.

By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better.

No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound.

She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object.

She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him.

And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both. 【1】The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to ______. A．keep herself from the cold B．wait for the boy to come C．want to be left alone D．seek safety from any hurt

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。由“Up here, in this tree she felt safe.”可知在树里躲着让她感到安全。故选D。

【2】From the story, we can learn that ______. A．the girl suffered a lot in her life

B．the girl’s parents divorced because of her C．teachers and friends treated the girl badly

D．the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad

B．knew what the object was C．realized her wishes

D．would never feel alone any more

【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。由“The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.”可知女孩应该是认识他的，因此感到很惊异。故选A。 【考点】故事类阅读。

60%左右的学生认为 40%左右的学生认为 我的观点 1. 高中学习很有压力； 2. 科目难度大，课后作业多； 3. 没时间参加锻炼等活动 1. 适应并喜欢高中生活； 2. 课程更有趣，活动更丰富，受益匪浅。 …… 要求： 1. 词数120； 2. 文章开头已给出，但不计入总词数。 参考词汇：course 课程

Recently, a survey has been carried out in our school whether the freshmen has become used to the life in senior high school. -- 【答案】One possible version:

Recently, a survey has been carried out in our school whether the freshmen has become used to the life in

senior high school. As can be seen from the result of the survey, opinions are divided. About 60% of the students in Senior 1 hold the opinion that life in senior high school is far from relaxing. The reasons are as follows: Firstly the subjects they are learning now are obviously more different. Besides, they have to do endless homework after class, which leaves them little time for exercise and other activities.

On the contrary, others say they have become used to the new life and have begun to enjoy it. They say that they find the courses are more interesting and the activities are more colorful, which surely benefit them a lot. As far as I’m concerned, we should balance our study and other activities and do everything effectively. Only in this way can we learn more and enjoy our life better.

【解析】写好图表式作文的关键是认真审题和分析所给的提纲，写作首要分析用什么时态。本文要求写一个高一学生的学习生活适应情况调查，通常用一般现在时。有2个观点，用they做主语，和自己的看法用I做主语。注意用一些高级词汇和短语和以及较复杂的句式。开头的变化和句子的连贯性也很重要。最后还要注意字数的控制。 【亮点说明】本文分三段写出了高一学生的学习生活适应情况调查。第一段先概况用了whether引导的同位语从句说明survey的内容，结果As can be seen，是opinions are divided。多数学生认为压力大，文中用了Firstly， Besides列出2条原因。which引导的非性定语从句是亮点。接下来，用On the contrary,开头，提出另一个观点。become used to the new life and enjoy it。又用了一个which引导的非性定语从句。最后，As far as I’m concerned,提出个人观点。最后的Only in this way can we learn more and enjoy our life better.倒装句使用也很恰当有力。
