第一節(jié)(共10小題；每小題2.5分, 滿分25分)
閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
21. How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A. Relieved. B. Thrilled. C. Nervous. D. Desperate.
22. Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A. To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B. To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C. To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D. To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
23. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Speech B. A Slippery Path
C. A Successful Failure D. An Impressive Example
B
When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.
“What’s so innovative about that?” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn’t they both be innovative?” I asked.
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.
At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology’s capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied A. I. into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后視的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.
Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn’t new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been
exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.
24. Why is a librarian mentioned?
A. To set an example. B. To cite an authority.
C. To make a prediction. D. To present an argument.
25. What does the underlined “buzzword” mean in Para.3?
A. Fashionable. B. Affordable. C. Practical. D. Imaginative.
26. What does the writer agree with about innovation?
A. Wasted resources lead to innovation. B. Magic devices encourage innovation.
C. Innovation should be human-centered. D. The power of technology is undervalued.
27. What is probably the best title of the text?
A. Innovation Is Not That Expensive B. Future Lies in Returning to the Past
C. Some Best Ideas Are in the Rearview Mirror D. Innovation: the Most Important Force in Economy
C
It’s an attractive idea: By playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills and memory. But whether these brain training games deliver on those promises is up for debate.
A research team gathered more than eight thousand volunteers globally after collecting their submission of an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, programs they used. Some one thousand participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months, on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed 12 cognitive (認知) tests assessing their mental abilities. They faced specially designed memory exercises, such as mentally rotating objects, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When looking at the results, researchers saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge. Even among the most dedicated, who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn’t use the programs. Participants who had trained for less than a month, also performed on par with people who didn’t train at all.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any evidence that brain training games were connected with cognitive abilities,” says leader of the team. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status – all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs, suggesting that brain training games don’t live up to its name. Accordingly, the study advocates no more time sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By questioning an idea. B. By having a debate.
C. By explaining an example. D. By making a comparison.
29. What can be learned about the brain training games from the research result?
A. They cost time to play well. B. They improve mental abilities.
C. They aren’t as helpful as imagined. D. They aren’t so popular as before.
30. Why do the researchers analyze the data from different angles?
A. To engage more participants. B. To further confirm the research result.
C. To test the limitation of the research. D. To provide evidence for the association.

閱讀下面短文, 從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
The most important thing to keep in mind when deciding to serve another is that service expects no rewards. When you expect something in return, and are not serving out of the goodness of your heart, others will notice. Sure they’ll thank you. ___31___
When you give from your heart, the real power of service comes into play. Serving is a great opportunity to strengthen your trust and respect for another, and for them to do the same to you. Not only do you feel great about helping out, but you build your relationship with them, and they will feel more willing to help you in the future. ___32___
However, why is service so rarely seen these days? ___33___ Sure, living in this day and age does not leave us much time, and the last thing people want to do is more work. I'm too busy, there's too much work, or I don't have the time, ” may run through your head when you hear the word service, but the truth is the benefits are worth the sacrifice. Gandhi once said that, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. ” ___34___ Some
ideas of places you can serve are volunteer centers, nursing homes, boys and girls clubs, and so on. You can serve people as long as you want to.
___35___ Although it does take some work, the benefits are more than worth the sacrifice. Not only do you feel better about making another's day a little less stressful, but you strengthen your relationship with them and they will be more willing to help you in the future.
A. It's a win-win situation.
B. Service is simple.
C. Overall, service and selflessly giving to others is very powerful and has many benefits.
D. And they will offer you worse service.
E. Service is a complex event.
F. The problem is, there's always an excuse not to serve.
G. But the service becomes more of a situation, “I’ll do this for you if you do this for me”.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
In 1985 my parents made the big move from Illinois, to southern Califormia, along with three very tiny children and all their household possessions. My mother had carefully wrapped and packed four boxes of her mother’s hand-painted dinner china. Grandmother had painted this lovely set herself, choosing a forget-me-not pattern (勿忘我圖案).
Unfortunately, something happened during the move. One box of the china didn’t make it. It never arrived at our new house. So my mother had only three-quarters of the set — she had plates of different sizes and some serving pieces, but missing were the cups and saucers (茶碟) and the bowls. Often at family gatherings or when we would all sit down for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, my mother would say something about the missing china and how she wished it had survived the trip.
When my mother died I inherited Grandmother’s china. I, too, used the set on many special occasions, and I, too, wondered what had happened to the missing box.
I love to visit flea markets (跳蚤市場), hunting for treasures. It’s great fun to walk up and down the streets early in the morning, watching as the vendors (攤主) spread their wares on the ground.
I hadn’t been to a flea market in over a year when, one Sunday in 2013, I got the itch to go. So I crawled out of bed at 5 a.m., and drove an hour to the Giant Rose Bowl Flea Market in another town. I was looking around and after a couple of hours I was thinking about leaving. I rounded the last corner and took a few steps down the street when I noticed some china spread on the floor. I saw that it was hand-painted china...With forget-me-nots! I raced over to look at it more closely, and picked up a cup and saucer...Forget-me-nots! Exactly like Grandmother’s china, with the same delicate strokes (筆畫) and the same thin gold bands around the edges. I looked at the rest of the items-there were the cups! The saucers! The bowls! It was Grandmother’s china!

【答案】ACBB
【解析】Nicholas Sparks is an American author and storyteller whose books have consistently been turned into major Hollywood films. Although not all of his books were sold to Hollywood, all have been The New York Times best-sellers. He has sold over 97 million copies worldwide, with over 65 million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In 2011, he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. He said, “Education is the gift that changed my life.” His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. He and his wife also founded the Epiphany School in New Bern, North Carolina. The school’s main goal is to help students practice the values of respect, responsibility, service, and honesty on a daily basis. Sparks has had a very successful career, and he owes that to education. “The education I received growing up prepared me for the world I’d be facing in the future,” the author said. Even though he is worth an estimated 75 million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books and films.

閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
21. How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A. Relieved. B. Thrilled. C. Nervous. D. Desperate.
22. Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A. To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B. To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C. To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D. To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
23. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Speech B. A Slippery Path
C. A Successful Failure D. An Impressive Example

【解析】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。本文講述了作者參加演講比賽落敗后，感悟到失敗并不意味著所有的努力都白費了，一個人也可以“成功地失敗”，收獲的不一定非得是獎金和贊揚，也可以是一種新的觀點和感悟。
21. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.(室內(nèi)一片寂靜，我的心里打起了鼓)”可知，作者心里開始打鼓，說明作者在等待結(jié)果公布的時候非常緊張。故選C。
22. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”.(通過了解林肯，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我可以成功地失敗。現(xiàn)在，每當我面臨失敗時，我都記得林肯在1854年參議員競選失敗后說的話.’通過了解林肯，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我可以成功地失敗。現(xiàn)在，每當我面臨失敗時，我都記得林肯在1854年參議員競選失敗后說的話：此路破敗不堪又容易滑倒。我一只腳滑了一跤，另一只腳也因而站不穩(wěn)，但我回過氣來告訴自己，"這不過是滑一跤，并不是死掉都爬不起來了)”可知，可推知作者從林肯的失敗中獲得了啟發(fā)。故選D。
23. 主旨大意題。本文講述了作者參加演講比賽落敗后，感悟到失敗并不意味著所有的努力都白費了，一個人也可以“有成就地失敗”，收獲的不一定非得是獎金和贊揚，也可以是一種新的觀點和感悟，根據(jù)最后一段“Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully.

When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.
“What’s so innovative about that?” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn’t they both be innovative?” I asked.
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.
At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology’s capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied A. I. into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后視的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.
Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn’t new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a
market demanding both convenience and physicality.
24. Why is a librarian mentioned?
A. To set an example. B. To cite an authority.
C. To make a prediction. D. To present an argument.
25. What does the underlined “buzzword” mean in Para.3?
A. Fashionable. B. Affordable. C. Practical. D. Imaginative.
26. What does the writer agree with about innovation?
A. Wasted resources lead to innovation. B. Magic devices encourage innovation.
C. Innovation should be human-centered. D. The power of technology is undervalued.
27. What is probably the best title of the text?
A. Innovation Is Not That Expensive B. Future Lies in Returning to the Past
C. Some Best Ideas Are in the Rearview Mirror D. Innovation: the Most Important Force in Economy
【答案】DA CC
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，主要論述的是什么是真正的創(chuàng)新。
24. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的““What’s so innovative about that?” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn’t they both be innovative?” I asked.(“這有什么創(chuàng)新之處?”當我給多倫多的一位圖書管理員看照片時，她問道。對她來說，創(chuàng)新意味著數(shù)字技術(shù)，比如3D打印機?！盀槭裁此鼈儾荒芏紕?chuàng)新呢?”我問。)”可知，作者和這位圖書管理員對創(chuàng)新的看法不一致，因此提到圖書管理員的目的是為了提出論點，即到底什么是真正的創(chuàng)新，答案是To present an argument，故選D。
25. 詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的“This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated!(這種心態(tài)意味著，如果你只是買了新東西，你就已經(jīng)創(chuàng)新了！)”可知，很多人認為如果買了新的東西，就意味著創(chuàng)新了，因此每年，企業(yè)和個人都試圖為最新的時髦設(shè)備制定策略，因此劃線詞buzzword的意思是“時髦的”，即Fashionable，故選A。
26. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的“It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the
past.(這是一個不斷反思和重新評估的過程，這通常意味著在新的環(huán)境中采用“舊的”思想和工具，甚至回到過去有效的方法。)”可知，創(chuàng)新是要在新環(huán)境中用不斷反思，用“舊的”思想和工具，也就是要以人為本，故選C。
27. 主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是倒數(shù)第二段的“True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后視的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.(真正的創(chuàng)新不只是一些神奇的設(shè)備。這是一個不斷反思和重新評估的過程，這通常意味著在新的環(huán)境中采用“舊的”思想和工具，甚至回到過去有效的方法。經(jīng)過適當調(diào)整，這些后視鏡創(chuàng)新被證明與新技術(shù)一樣具有變革性。)”可知，本文討論的是真正的創(chuàng)新。一些創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)新想法是使用有效的舊思想和工具創(chuàng)造的。C選項：一些好的想法存在在后視鏡中能夠概括文章大意且具有新穎性。故選C。
C
It’s an attractive idea: By playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills and memory. But whether these brain training games deliver on those promises is up for debate.
A research team gathered more than eight thousand volunteers globally after collecting their submission of an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, programs they used. Some one thousand participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months, on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed 12 cognitive (認知) tests assessing their mental abilities. They faced specially designed memory exercises, such as mentally rotating objects, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When looking at the results, researchers saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge. Even among the most dedicated, who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn’t use the programs. Participants who had trained for less than a month, also performed on par with people who didn’t train at all.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any evidence that brain training games were connected with cognitive abilities,” says leader of the team. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status – all
were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs, suggesting that brain training games don’t live up to its name. Accordingly, the study advocates no more time sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By questioning an idea. B. By having a debate.
C. By explaining an example. D. By making a comparison.
29. What can be learned about the brain training games from the research result?
A. They cost time to play well. B. They improve mental abilities.
C. They aren’t as helpful as imagined. D. They aren’t so popular as before.
30. Why do the researchers analyze the data from different angles?
A. To engage more participants. B. To further confirm the research result.
C. To test the limitation of the research. D. To provide evidence for the association.
【答案】ACB
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了科學家通過研究表明，絡(luò)上的一些大腦訓練游戲不一定能增強人的智力。
28. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“But whether these brain training games deliver on those promises is up for debate.(但這些大腦訓練游戲能否兌現(xiàn)這些承諾還有待討論。)”可推斷，作者是通過質(zhì)疑一個想法介紹主題的。故選A。
29. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“When looking at the results, researchers saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge. Even among the most dedicated, who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn’t use the programs. Participants who had trained for less than a month, also performed on par with people who didn’t train at all.(研究人員在觀察結(jié)果時發(fā)現(xiàn)，大腦訓練者平均沒有智力優(yōu)勢。即使是那些最專注的、使用了至少18個月的訓練程序的人，大腦訓練對思維能力的提升也沒有比不使用這些程序的人高。訓練不足一個月的參與者的表現(xiàn)也與完全沒有訓練的人相當。)”和第四段““No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any evidence that brain training games were connected with cognitive abilities,” says leader of the team.( “無論我們?nèi)绾畏指顢?shù)據(jù)，我們都無法找到任何證據(jù)證明大腦訓練游戲與認知能力有關(guān)，”該團隊的負責人說。)”可知，從研究結(jié)果中我們了解到，大腦訓練游戲沒有想象的那么有幫助。故選C。
30. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status – all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs, suggesting that brain training games don’t live up to its name. (無論研究小組對參與者的年齡、使用的程序、教育程度或社會經(jīng)濟地位進行分析，結(jié)果都是正確的——所有參與者在認知上都與未使用程序的那組人相似，這表明大腦訓練游戲并沒有名副其實。)”可推斷，研究人員從不同的角度分析數(shù)據(jù)，是為了進一步確認研究結(jié)果。故選B。

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章提到中學生有一些成長的煩惱，但可以正確地和明智地擺脫它們，并提出了相應(yīng)的方法。
56. 考查副詞。句意：我們中學生確實有一些成長的煩惱，但我們可以正確地和明智地擺脫它們。分析句子結(jié)合句意可知，此處用副詞修飾動詞詞組get rid of，并且與correctly并列。故填wisely。
57. 考查介詞。句意：首先，我們中的一些人對自己的體型和外表感到沮喪。根據(jù)句意可知，此處使用固定短語“be upset about(對……感到難過，失望)”，故填about。
58. 考查強調(diào)句。句意：重要的是一個人的內(nèi)在美。分析句子結(jié)合句意可知，本句是一個強調(diào)句型It is...that/who...；本句強調(diào)的是主語one’s inner
beauty，所以用that引導強調(diào)句，故填that。
59. 考查不定式被動式。句意：第二，我們有時似乎被我們的老師，父母和同學誤解。根據(jù)seem to可知后接動詞不定式，由句意可知，misunderstand與主語we之間是被動關(guān)系，所以用不定式的被動式to be done ，已有to，故填be misunderstood。
60. 考查非謂語動詞。句意：面對這種情況，我們可以找個合適的時間和他們談心，試圖消除理解。短語“be faced with…(面對著……)”，為固定搭配，句中已有謂語動詞can find，所以此處應(yīng)用非謂語動詞形式，空處位于句首，首字母大寫，故填Faced。
61. 考查非謂語動詞。句意：面對這種情況，我們可以找個合適的時間和他們談心，試圖消除理解。分析句子可知，已有謂語動詞can find，此處應(yīng)用分詞作狀語，try與主語we之間是主動關(guān)系，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞表主動，故填trying。
62. 考查主謂一致。句意：第三，我們可能會落后于別人，這讓我們有壓力。分析句子可知，空處為句子的謂語，主語which指代前面一句話的內(nèi)容所講述的這件事，為單數(shù)，由語境和主句謂語動詞may fall可知，時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，謂語應(yīng)用三單形式。故填makes。
63. 考查代詞。句意：事實上，我們可以鼓勵自己高效地工作，充滿決心?？仗帪榫渥拥馁e語，由句意可知，主語和賓語為同一人稱，應(yīng)使用反身代詞ourselves表示強調(diào)。故填ourselves。
64. 考查名詞。句意：事實上，我們可以鼓勵自己高效地工作，充滿決心。介詞of后面要接名詞作賓語，故使用determine的名詞determination。故填determination。
65. 考查疑問詞。句意：我們可以學習如何花錢。根據(jù)句意和to spend可知，此處應(yīng)是“特殊疑問詞how+不定式”，表示“如何做……”，在句中作賓語，在本句中how to spend money作為動詞learn的賓語。故填how。

第二節(jié) 讀后續(xù)寫(滿分25分)
閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
In 1985 my parents made the big move from Illinois, to southern Califormia, along with three very tiny children and all their household possessions. My mother had carefully wrapped and packed four boxes of her mother’s hand-painted dinner china. Grandmother had painted this lovely set herself, choosing a forget-me-not pattern (勿忘我圖案).
Unfortunately, something happened during the move. One box of the china didn’t make it. It never arrived at our new house. So my mother had only three-quarters of the set — she had plates of different sizes and some serving pieces, but missing were the cups and saucers
(茶碟) and the bowls. Often at family gatherings or when we would all sit down for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, my mother would say something about the missing china and how she wished it had survived the trip.
When my mother died I inherited Grandmother’s china. I, too, used the set on many special occasions, and I, too, wondered what had happened to the missing box.
I love to visit flea markets (跳蚤市場), hunting for treasures. It’s great fun to walk up and down the streets early in the morning, watching as the vendors (攤主) spread their wares on the ground.
I hadn’t been to a flea market in over a year when, one Sunday in 2013, I got the itch to go. So I crawled out of bed at 5 a.m., and drove an hour to the Giant Rose Bowl Flea Market in another town. I was looking around and after a couple of hours I was thinking about leaving. I rounded the last corner and took a few steps down the street when I noticed some china spread on the floor. I saw that it was hand-painted china...With forget-me-nots! I raced over to look at it more closely, and picked up a cup and saucer...Forget-me-nots! Exactly like Grandmother’s china, with the same delicate strokes (筆畫) and the same thin gold bands around the edges. I looked at the rest of the items-there were the cups! The saucers! The bowls! It was Grandmother’s china!
注意：1. 所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 至少使用5個短文中標有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語；
3. 續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭已為你寫好；
4. 續(xù)寫完成后，請用下劃線標出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語。
Paragraph 1：
The vendor had noticed my excitement.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
I left the Flea Market with my amazing treasure.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Possible version 1:
The vendor had noticed my excitement. When she came over I told her the story of the missing box and asked where she’d got them. It turned out the china had come from an estate sale: she found an old unopened carton stored in the garden, and the china was in it. She questioned the estate owners about the china and they knew nothing about it, saying that the box had been in the garden “forever”. I listened with keen interest and more importantly, sincere gratitude that my china had been “in good hands”. When I bought them at the price the vendor asked, without any bargaining, I felt that the void in my heart had finally been filled.
I left the Flea Market with my amazing treasure. Still overwhelmed, I found myself marveling that “all the pieces in the universe” tumbled together to let me find the missing china — what if I had slept in? What if I hadn’t turned that last corner, choosing instead to leave and rest my aching feet? — It could take me forever to meet it again. That night I proudly served coffee for my family in those beautiful cups and saucers. Running my fingers lovingly along the forget-me-nots and the thin bands on the rim, I was reconnected with my grandmother. The purple and gold colors were coming alive, dancing with such a grace and reassurance as if they had never been lost in my life.
Possible version 2:
The vendor had noticed my excitement. Therefore she approached me. I told her the sad story behind the missing box, and out of intense curiosity asked how she had got it. Wearing a reassuring smile, she explained that she encountered it at an auction many years ago. And the instant she caught sight of it, she was hooked to its forget-me-not pattern. But when she placed it on her table at home, and the crimson sunset streamed in, the china sat silent and lonely, as if saying “don’t forget me” to its original owner. Thus, she decided not to keep it. Now after learning about my story, she wanted me to take it home for free. In a heartbeat, I felt an immense gratitude surging through my body.
I left the Flea Market with my amazing treasure. Putting it beside its three “siblings”, I
couldn’t help running my fingers along its gold rims and, all of a sudden, I felt a missing part of my heart finally drifted back again. Oh! I reconnected with my dear grandmother, who seemed to be saying, “Let’s thank our lives for all these wonders.” Yes, if I had chosen to doze off instead of getting up, or given up on the last corner, or hadn’t spotted the forget-me-not pattern, I would have brushed past the one-quarter treasure. Fixing my eyes on its vivid and lively pattern, I grasped the hint of living a fulfilling life — cherish the wonders, and don’t miss the meaningful passers-by.
