第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的（A,B,C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.
He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his
friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man
devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved
him; as a school girl and young adult feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed
unhappy with me unless 1 got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their
fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on
weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch
at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the
street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's
critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who
seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few
stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the
years, never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing
another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad,
in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
21. Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?
A. He was silent most of the time. B. He expected too much of her.
C. He did not love his children. D.He was too proud of himself.
22. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel________.
A. tired B. sorry C. nervous D. safe
23. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A. More critical. B. More talkative.
C. Strict and hard-working. D. Gentle and friendly.
24. The underlined words "my new friend" in the last paragraph refer to_____
A. the author's father B. the author's son
C. the friend of the author's father D. the cafe's owner
B
A lot of people say maths is not their strong suit. One New Jersey parent wants to help
change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure
ingredients when her mother baked, and she learned about angles(角) from her father.
She went on to major in astrophysics in college. Overdeck knew she wanted her own
children to be good at maths, too.
“And when our first child was about two, we just started giving her a maths problem
every night,” Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story, involving animals, cars or
candies that let the kids count. “Our third child started, at the age of two, yelling that
he wanted his own maths problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And
we thought, “Wow, we have a household where maths is the popular thing at
bedtime.” Overdeck said.
In February, Overdeck launched Bedtime Maths, an Internet website where she
posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook children on
numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to maths so early?
Sian Beilock, an expert on performance anxiety, says the more fun and familiar maths is
early on, the less likely children feel nervous when they start to learn maths in school.
“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about
doing maths,” Beilock said.
“You can hear totally educated adults say, ‘You know I’m just not that good at
maths.’or ‘I’m kind of afraid of maths.’And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a
well-educated person to say, but you never hear them say, ‘Well, you know, I’m just not
that good at reading,’ ”Overdeck said.She wants children and their parents to become
fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.
25. Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she __________.
A. was really fond of mathematics
B. had an interest in teaching physics
C. hoped to change maths education in the US
D. would like her children to be good at maths
26. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 ?
A. Toys can be used to encourage kids in solving maths problems
B. Maths will become more popular in every household.
C.The third child is cleverer than his brother and sister.
D. Maths is enjoyable in Overdeck’s family.
27. Beilock’s attitude towards Overdeck’s idea is __________.
A. anxious B. puzzled C. agreeable D. critical
28. The unfavourable(不利的) situation of the US in maths ability is shown by______.
A. people’s response to maths B. children’s performance anxiety in school
C. the popularity of Bedroom Maths D. adults’ great fondness for Harry Potter
C
Believe it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change. If you can choose to live
your life differently, will you be the same person?
Well, choosing to do the following few "simple" things will help to change your life.
Review your life. Take time to go through your life and ask yourself, "If I do the same
thing I do every day, will there be a change? If I want to change, where will my first step
be?"
Make careful choices. Choose exactly what you wish to get to live your life; describe
and think what you really want.
Keep up with chances. Find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you
move toward your goals, write them down and see which one suits you most.
Get down to business. Start working on your goals. People may bring you down;
you may have difficulties; you will fail and want to give up. But the most important
thing is never to give up.
If you try these "simple" things, you will find that success is something for everyone,
and you will finally become what you want to be. Remember, success is more than
what you hold in your hands; it is something from the heart.
29. How many pieces Of advice does the writer give on changing one's life?
A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six.
30. Once you get down to business, the most important thing is to _____.
A. see possibilities B. set goals C. ask for help D. keep on trying
31. This passage mainly discusses the relationship between _____.
A. choice and change B. power and life
C. choice and difficulty D. power and success
D
The Internet has become part of teenage life. There's a report on 3,375 students in
seven Chinese cities. It says that 38% of them believe they use the Internet often.
While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies,
some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few
even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people
spend too much time on the Internet.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook has been
used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach
students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice such as it's
good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make
online friends.
Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. It will teach students
how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens using the
Internet and keep students away from bad sites.

第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。
Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old
man was lying on the ground in front of our building. I immediately took my first-aid kit
and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him.
Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to hospital. Later that day I was
told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man's life. I was happy to hear
that. 36 There were many people who wanted to help around the old man then.
Yet no one performed first aid on him as they hadn’t attended a first-aid course.
37 Here are my reasons.
You can gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to act in an emergency. You never
know when you might need them—you could be at home, at work, at school or on
holiday. If you have the skills, you can act whenever you're needed.
38 For your family, your neighbors or the broader community, having more
people with first-aid skills helps build a stronger and more harmonious community.
You can stay safe at work. 39 With first-aid knowledge you can create a safe
work environment and help meet your workplace’s safety requirements.
It’s helpful to your future career. The first-hand experience you gain through learning
first aid and using your skills could help you decide if you want to pursue a career in the
health profession. 40
A.Yet at the same time I felt a bit sad.
B.I received a phone call from the hospital.
C.You can be a resource for your community.
D.Illness and injury can happen anywhere, anytime.
E.You can take first-aid courses in your community for free.
F.I think everyone should learn at least some basic first-aid techniques, which can be
very vital.
G.It also shows your commitment to a career in the health profession when it comes to
applying for jobs.

well, and we would treat others well too.
Two years before, I was admitted to a high school. I felt proudly of it. I always looked
down upon my classmates who turned for me in their studies. One day, Tom asked me
help him work out a math problem. I had a quick look at it, and said, “So easy, what
foolish you are!” On hear it, he said angrily, “I won’t ask you again.” I was shocking.

Dear Jack,
I am glad to hear from you, but sorry to know that you have trouble in adapting to your
senior school life. I’m writing to give you some tips according to my experience.
First of all, be independent. After being admitted to high school, your life and study
have changed a lot. When meeting difficulties, you had better solve them on your own.
Next, get along well with new friends. My secret is to treat them sincerely and
help them when they are in need. In this way, you will soon make true friends.
Lastly, seek help if necessary. To deal with heavy schoolwork burden and different
learning style, in my view, it is helpful to turn to teachers for help.
Follow my suggestions above and I’m sure your situation will improve soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
