The Origins of Famous Brands
Every day in our live we use lots of trademarked products with brand names. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词)or come from their founders, some of the companies we are in favour of actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship—Pequot, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.
Google
Google was originally called BackRub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain(域)name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.
Nike
Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.
The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as significant as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.
1. Which book inspired the name of the coffeehouse
A. Herman Melville B. Starbucks.
C. Herman Melville’s Moby Dick D. Pequot.
2 Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name
A. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.
B. They wanted new customers.
C. The company’s original name was too long.
D. They mistook their name.
3. Why is the right name essential to a company’s success
A. It can change the company’s image.
B. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.
C. It explains the development of the company to customers.
D. It can add myth to the company.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了星巴克、谷歌和耐克品牌名字的由来，并说明品牌名字的重要性。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Starbucks部分的“It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.(世界上最著名的咖啡品牌以世界上最伟大的文学作品之一命名，这似乎很合适。咖啡馆名字的灵感来自赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《白鲸记》。)”可知，赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《白鲸记》启发了咖啡馆的名字。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Google部分“In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology , a friend suggested the word “googol”. (在1997年，当该公司的创始人在寻找一个新名字来表示他们搜索引擎技术的快速发展时，一位朋友建议用“googol”这个词。)”可知，改名是因为公司的搜索引擎技术的快速发展，故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products. (恰当的名字对于一个公司的成功是至关重要的，一个伟大故事的起源和一个伟大的产品一样重要。一个吸引人的故事起源是一个让顾客猜测、 疑惑和购买公司产品的东西。)可知，一个公司的名字的渊源会让顾客想象并购买它的商品，因此一个合适的名字是重要的。故选B。
B
Another person’s enthusiasm (热忱) was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at 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 smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out 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 bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat (别墅), where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人). My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
4. What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2
A. He was the worst boy in the town.
B. He liked throwing rocks at people.
C. His father had a low opinion of him.
D. His stepmother praised him for his kindness.
5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Stepmother’s influence on the family.
B. Friendship between mother and son.
C. Changes in the family relationship.
D. Reasons for receiving education.
6. Why did the stepmother buy the author a typewriter
A. To congratulate on his success.
B. To encourage him to write.
C. To help him find a good job.
D. To teach him to read and write.
7. What may be the best title of the text
A. Enthusiasm changes life
B. Success lies in education
C. A stepmother’s amazing life
D. The secret of a good writer
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了继母对作者的肯定，激发了自拍总金额心中的对成功的渴望。继母心中的热情，终于促使作者取得了成功，也改变了家里其他人。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.(我想让你见见这个家伙，他是这个镇上出了名的最坏的男孩，而且最迟明天早上他就会朝你扔石头。)可知，由第二段内容可以看出，作者父亲对他的评价很低。故选C。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. (我的继母改变了这一切。她改变了很多事情。)以及其它内容可推断，第3段主要讲述了继母对这个家的影响，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.（当我14岁时，她给我买了一台二手打字机，告诉我她相信我能成为一名作家。）可知，后母给作者买打字机的原因是鼓励他写作。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的Another person’s enthusiasm (热忱) was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.（另一个人的热情是我走向成功的动力。）和最后一段的I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives.（我了解她的热情，我看到她的热情已经改善了我们的生活。）可知，“热情”是改变作者一家最关键的因素，所以A选项（热情改变生活）可能是文章最好的标题，故选A。
C
When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right ” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to TheTimes.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
8. What has led to a heated media discussion
A. The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B. People’s various opinions on penguins.
C. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
9. Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference
A. David Attenborough. B. Will Lawson.
C. Paul Nicklen. D. Kathryn Shaw.
10. Which of the following best explains the word “gut wrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6
A. Making one confused. B. Making one heartbroken.
C. Putting one in danger. D. Making one amazed.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B. Protect Animals From Dying Out
C. Human Interference on Dangerous Animals
D. Help Animals in Trouble or Not
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当动物们面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.(当摄制组看到一群企鹅和它们的幼崽掉进沟里被困在一起时，他们非常焦虑。他们建了一个斜坡，好让几只企鹅能自救。)”和第三段的“The case has taken the international media by storm.(这起案件引起了国际媒体的广泛关注。)”可知，从峡谷中救出企鹅这一事件引起了大家的热议。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的““I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right ” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.(“我很高兴。我理解不直接采取行动，但伸出援助之手并不麻烦，对吧？”观众Kathryn Shaw在她的脸书上说。)”可推知，Kathryn Shaw对帮助动物是很赞成的，故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文语境大家对干涉动物的行为有不同观点，结合下文的“you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear(你给我闪开。即使你在看一只雄性北极熊吃掉一只幼熊)”可知，这是个捕食的情景，无论你是多么的心碎，你都不能干预。结合四个选项可知，gut wrenching意为“令人痛苦的”，和Making one heartbroken(令人心碎)意思相近，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章，并结合第一段“When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply (当我们看到一个人有麻烦时，我们想到的第一个想法是伸出援手。但是，如果我们看到一只动物陷入困境，同样的规则也适用吗？)”和第二段“This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica.(这个问题是在一群企鹅从南极洲的冰沟中获救后提出的。)”可知，本文就救助企鹅的视频引发的热议讲述了当动物面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。因此，本文的最佳标题应为D选项“Help Animals in Trouble or Not(是否帮助有困难的动物)”。故选D。
D
In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord ” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.
Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean you were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.
A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.
There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.
12. What’s the function of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.
13. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2
A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.
B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.
C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.
D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent.
C. Negative. D. Critical.
15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph
A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.
B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.
C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.
D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了字典的作用和更新，阐述了自己更喜欢纸质字典的观点，并向英语学习者推荐了柯林斯字典。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary. (在这种情况下，普罗尼尔斯应该借给哈姆雷特一本好字典。)”可知，作者在第一段通过引用《哈姆雷特》中的对话引出文章主题——字典。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. (语言也在不断地变化，新词不断地被添加，旧词被赋予新的含义。)”以及“As for new meanings, ‘girl’ once meant ‘a small child of either sex’. (至于新的含义，‘girl’意思曾是‘任何性别的小孩’。)”可知，作者提到“girl”是为了支持“语言在不断变化”的论点。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. (然而，我还是更喜欢纸质词典，因为它们能给你更多的定义和单词用法的例子。)”可知，作者对纸质字典表示支持。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. (然而，对于英语学习者，我推荐《柯林斯COBUILD高级学习者词典》。)”以及“This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used. (这本词典有4万多个单词，并提供了完整的句子定义和很好的例子来说明单词的用法。)”可知，作者要推荐柯林斯词典。故选C项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. ___16___
Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. ___17___ What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.
___18___
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success.
You have to live where the language is spoken.
Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. ___19___ You can download it to your iPod and listen. Where you live is not a problem.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.
How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk ___20___ Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.
I believe if you can avoid these traps, we will surely become masters of language learning.
A. The following are some tips for you to follow.
B. You have to have a gift for learning languages.
C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult
D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings
E. Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.
F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your iPod
G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了对语言学习的4种误解。
16题详解】
根据下文各段小标题“Language learning is hard.”（学习语言很难。），“You have to live where the language is spoken.”（你必须要到说英语的地方生活。）和“I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.”（我想学，但是我没有时间。）可知，接下来要介绍的是对语言学习的一些误解。D选项“我们需要避免一些常见的误解。”承上启下，引出下文内容。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to.”（如果你不想学，那么学习语言就是很难的。）可知，作者想说的是学习语言实际上不难。C选项“学习语言需要花时间，但是不难。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages.”（任何想学的人都可以学习。在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言。他们不可能都有语言天赋。）可知，这一段作者是解释学习语言和天赋的关系，语言学习与天赋无关。B选项“你必须是在学习语言上很有天赋”是对语言学习的一种误解。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下文“You can download it to your iPod and listen.”（你可以把它下载到你的播放器上去听。）可知，这里提到代词it，所以上文要说明it是指什么。G选项“有了网络，电脑里的语言内容对任何人都是可以用的。”提到了it的指代对象“语言内容”，和下文意思一致。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk ”（你等车的时间，在房子里做事的时候，散步的时候怎么样？）可知，作者是在指出这些时间是可以用来学习语言的。F选项“为什么不用这个时间用你的播放器来听语言呢？”和上文意思一致。故选F。

61. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eartha lost her balance and fell heavily onto the floor. “I’ll never be as flexible as you are, Grandma.” she sighed softly.
Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses.
“Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma.
Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg.
Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen.
“Finished already ” asked Grandma.
“It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong ”
Grandma smiled. “Patience.”
The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time.
Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling.
The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition.
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma.

Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. Grandma settled at the front seat, kindly smiling and waving to her. Head hanging, Eartha shuffled to Grandma with heavy footsteps.“I’m proud of you!” Grandma whispered softly. Astonished and unexpected, Eartha stared at Grandma with a bit skeptical expression. Although relieved of frustration temporarily, she was increasingly concerned about the next half. Sensing her worries, Grandma asked if she still remembered the meaning of her name. Eartha nodded, reflecting on her hard practices.
Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. Completely relaxed, Eartha immersed herself in poses, letting go of anything that might distract her. So full of patience and balance was every pose that flexibility was perfectly demonstrated, which made her standout among other competitors. When she finished, the whole gym burst into thunderous applause and grandma beamed at her with unprecedented pride. Smiling back, Eartha ultimately understood the significance of patience and calmness.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Origins of Famous Brands
Every day in our live we use lots of trademarked products with brand names. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词)or come from their founders, some of the companies we are in favour of actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship—Pequot, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.
Google
Google was originally called BackRub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain(域)name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.
Nike
Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.
The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as significant as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.
1. Which book inspired the name of the coffeehouse
A. Herman Melville B. Starbucks.
C. Herman Melville’s Moby Dick D. Pequot.
2. Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name
A. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.
B. They wanted new customers.
C. The company’s original name was too long.
D. They mistook their name.
3. Why is the right name essential to a company’s success
A. It can change the company’s image.
B. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.
C. It explains the development of the company to customers.
D. It can add myth to the company.
B
Another person’s enthusiasm (热忱) was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at 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 smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out 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 bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat (别墅), where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人). My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
4. What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2
A He was the worst boy in the town.
B. He liked throwing rocks at people.
C. His father had a low opinion of him.
D His stepmother praised him for his kindness.
5 What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Stepmother’s influence on the family.
B. Friendship between mother and son.
C. Changes in the family relationship.
D. Reasons for receiving education.
6. Why did the stepmother buy the author a typewriter
A. To congratulate on his success.
B. To encourage him to write.
C. To help him find a good job.
D. To teach him to read and write.
7. What may be the best title of the text
A. Enthusiasm changes life
B. Success lies in education
C. A stepmother’s amazing life
D. The secret of a good writer
C
When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right ” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to TheTimes.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
8. What has led to a heated media discussion
A. The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B. People’s various opinions on penguins.
C Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.

10. Which of the following best explains the word “gut wrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6
A. Making one confused. B. Making one heartbroken.
C. Putting one in danger. D. Making one amazed.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B. Protect Animals From Dying Out

D. Help Animals in Trouble or Not

In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord ” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.
Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean you were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.
A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.
There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.
12. What’s the function of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.
13. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2
A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.
B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.
C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.
D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent.
C. Negative. D. Critical.
15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph
A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.
B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.
C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.
D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.

Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. ___17___ What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times.

Eartha lost her balance and fell heavily onto the floor. “I’ll never be as flexible as you are, Grandma.” she sighed softly.
Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses.
“Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma.
Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg.
Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen.
“Finished already ” asked Grandma.
“It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong ”
Grandma smiled. “Patience.”
The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time.
Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling.
The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition.
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma.
