The fly, when she’s not landing on your head or swimming in your soup, is trying to escape her 327 siblings who are driving her crazy. Even though she’s little-- just like her best friends, Worm and Spider-- she wants to be a superhero. This is the story of a little fly who’s unafraid to dream big．‎ Book 2: Iggy Peck, Architect-- By Andrea Beaty ‎32 pages, US $15.95‎ This book is a story about a kid whose head teacher doesn’t recognize his great talent (though he makes buildings out of anything at hand, including table cloths, fruit and chalk) until it saves her life. With Andrea Beaty’s rhyming text and David Roberts’s interesting illustrations(插图), it will charm creative kids everywhere．‎ Book 3: The ChickenChasing Queen of Lamar County-- By Janice N. Harrington ‎40 pages, US $16.00‎ Our character here loves to run after chickens, particularly Miss Hen, who’s very fat. But, as all farming folks know, this is not a good way to produce happy, productive chickens. What will make her change her ways? The author is a professional storyteller and this book is full of fun, and has great illustrations. ‎ Book 4: Cherry and Olive-- By Benjamin Lacombe ‎32 pages, US $16.95‎ Children’s books can quickly take little readers into new worlds, such as the big city, 1930s Georgia, or outer space. This book takes us on a little trip to some European capitals. Cherry is fat and likes books, and she has few friends until she meets a SharPei puppy(沙皮狗). She names it Olive. Through it she finds confidence and friendship. But what will happen when its owner returns?‎ ‎21. What do we know about the fly in Book 1? ‎ A. She is honest but stubborn.‎ B. She is stupid but interesting.‎ C. She is loyal and courageous.‎ D. She is brave and ambitious.‎ ‎22. What can we learn from the text? ‎ A. The fly in Book 1 enjoys staying with her siblings. ‎ B. The head teacher in Book 2 thinks highly of the kid. ‎ C. Both Book 2 and Book 3 contain many pictures. ‎ D. Book 4 is the cheapest of the four books. ‎ ‎23. The books mentioned above are intended for _____.‎ A. parents B. animal lovers C. children D. architects B I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. We thought that he’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.‎ We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher months ago.‎ Today’s poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn’t mean the poison won’t finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.‎ Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn’t escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.‎ ‎24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.‎ ‎ A. knew the elephant was injured ‎ B. found the elephant acted violently ‎ C. tried their best to save the elephant ‎ D. thought the elephant was in good condition ‎25. According to the passage, the underlined word “poacher” is probably ______. ‎ ‎ A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegally ‎ B. A kind of fierce meat-eating animal ‎ C. A serious disease that can infect elephants ‎ ‎ D. A kind of deadly poison ‎ ‎26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.‎ ‎ A. had suffered a lot ‎ ‎ B. was killed by a poisonous needle ‎ C. had suffered an hour or two ‎ ‎ D. had had a good fight with a poacher ‎27. Why did the author write the article?‎ A. To introduce the African elephant. ‎ B. To show the cruelty of poaching.‎ C. To describe his filming experience. ‎ D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.‎ C Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning efforts increase the length of time when we will remember it. ‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.‎ The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are one of the ‎ things we overlearn in childhood.‎ The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a collage course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.‎ ‎28. The author explains the law of overlearning by ______. ‎ A. using examples B. making a comparison C. setting down general rules D. presenting research findings ‎29. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Commonly accepted rules. ‎ B. The multiplication tables. ‎ C. Things easily forgotten. ‎ D. School subjects.‎ ‎30. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?‎ A. It leads to failure in college exams.‎ ‎ B. It’s possible to result in poor memory.‎ ‎ C. It’s helpful only in a limited way. ‎ ‎ D. It’s the best way to learn a college course.‎ ‎31. The passage is mainly about ______.‎ A. People remember well what they learned in childhood ‎ B. What the secret of having a good memory is ‎ C. The advantages and disadvantages of cramming D. Overlearning helps us remember things longer D Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are… but they also turn you into ‎ a workaholic, it seems.‎ A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smart phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.‎ Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.‎ Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of apps has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in touch we become, the more is expected of us in work capacity .”‎ ‎32.With a smart phone the average UK working day is ________.‎ A.2 hours B.8 hours C.9 to 10 hours D.11 to12 hours ‎33. It could be inferred from the text that the British people _______.‎ A. prefer to check emails in the morning. ‎ B. are crazy about different smart phones.‎ C. work extra hours with smart phones. ‎ D. shorten their normal working hours.‎ ‎34. What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smart phones?‎ A. They are unimportant for most of people. ‎ B. They have disadvantages for some companies.‎ C. They are useful to improve work ability. ‎ D. They make the staff readily available for work.‎ ‎35. What can we conclude from the text?‎ A. Every coin has two sides. B. All that glitters is not gold.‎ C. It never rains but pour. D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.‎ E There are all sorts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry. Not only does it make us feel bad, it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive.  36 But like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects.‎ ‎     Anger is a motivating force.‎ ‎     In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force.  37 When we see something as beneficial, we want it more when we are angry. So, when used right, constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want.‎ ‎     38‎ ‎     It may sound like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people. That's because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic about the future and expect further terrors.‎ ‎     Anger can benefit relationships.‎ ‎     Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it. 39 The expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships.‎ ‎     Anger provides self-understanding.‎ ‎     Anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives. 40‎ A. And that doesn't do our relationship any good.‎ B. Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.‎ C. Anger reduces violence.‎ D. Angry people are more optimistic.‎ E. Most of us treat our anger as though it's unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.‎ F. That's because it's a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.‎ G. Anger can encourage self-change. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空(每题1.5分共30分)‎ ‎ Everyone has experienced ups and downs in his life, and I am no exception. I am an aerospace engineer from India.

Too much cars travel on the roads. This heavy traffic causes delays and a plenty of air pollution. Although many cities in China have traffic problems, some of the worse are in Beijing. One of the reason why there is so much traffic is what only a small number of people use public transportation. I think one way solve the traffic problems was to make people use the public transportation system. For example, they can take buses instead of drive cars. Meanwhile, the government should make them more reliable and convenient to travel by bus.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 假如太康将要承办某一国际大型运动会,现正在招募志愿者,你希望成为其中一员。请按照要求用英文给组委会写一封申请信,内容包括:‎ ‎1.个人情况:高中生;2.个人条件:英语口语好、爱好体育、善于交往、乐于助人、熟悉太康;3.承诺:全心投入,提供最佳服务。 注意:1、词数120左右;2、可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。‎ Dear Sir/Madam,‎ ‎                                                                                                                                   _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours, ‎ Lihua ‎ 英语答案 第一部分：完形填空1--5ACBDA 6---10CDCDA 11--15DCCBC 16---20ADBDA ‎ 第二部分：阅读理解21--23DCC24---27 DAAD 28---31ABCD 32----35DCDA 36---40 EBDAG 第三部分：完形填空;41---45BCBDA 46---50CABCB 51---55ACDAD 56--60DBBAC ‎ 语法填空61. global, 62.and,63. led, 64.on, 65.to protect, 66.as, 67.danger68. stands,69. rising, 70.pride,‎ 单句填空71.to have been written, 72.leaving, 73.being noticed, 74.compared, 75.seated 短文改错 1.seriously-serious 2.much-many 3.a去掉 4.worse-worst5.reasons 6.what-that 7.to solve 8.was-is 9.driving 10.them-it One possible version:  Dear Sir/Madam，‎ My name is Li Hua.
