第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节（共15题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A.B.C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
On a cold winter afternoon, I was walking home from a supermarket. I was feeling a little tired, as I was carrying my shopping bags. They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park. As I walked towards the gate of the park, I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag in his dirty hand. He walked to a nearby dustbin and started looking through it.
I suddenly felt sad. I knew this man would take all that he could get, so I went up to him and gave some fruit to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him. A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First
someone gave me this sandwich, then some drinks, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, boy.”Then he went away，singing a song. Just then, I realized what the saying “Giving is getting”really meant. Everyone in the world needs help. Everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesn’t cost you much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others.
21. The writer gave the poor man some fruit because ________.
A. he couldn’t carry so much fruit
B. he knew the man’s daughter liked the fruit
C. the poor man asked him for some fruit
D. he wanted to help the poor man
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The poor man had no money to buy delicious food for his daughter.
B. The poor man’s daughter might be sad.
C. It was the poor man’s daughter’s birthday that day.
D. Giving never costs much.
23. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. giving is getting
B. not to be a poor man
C. to give others fruit
D. not to look through the dustbin
B
One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’house to feast upon Mom’s
wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混)his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor(肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal(晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the time they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.
On the visit to my parents’home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?”I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”He tried to
speak, but he couldn’t make out a word. “I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,”I said. With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
24. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.
B. The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.
C. The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.
D. The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.
25. What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long”mean?
A. It takes a long time for Father to recover.
B. There’s little possibility for Father to recover.
C. Father needs love and care from his family.
D. They need a proper time to operate on Father.
26. The father had never said “I love you”to the writer before because ________.
A.he was not used to openly showing his emotions
B. he was not so attached to the writer
C.he believed in strictness and punishment
D. he thought there was no need to tell the writer
27. What does the writer attempt to tell us?
A. Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late.
B. Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.
C. We don’t often value health until we lose it.
D. Bravely express your love for your family.
C
The meaning of the word “volunteer ”may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.”There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a
few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
28. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.
A. can afford to travel to different places
B. has a strong wish to be successful
C. is willing to help those in need without pay
D. has made a big fortune in life
29. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _______.
A. after she finished high school
B. after she met Mother Teresa
C. when she was touring Calcutta
D. when she was working in a hospital
30. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
C. She had already had some experience.
D. She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example.
31. What is Tracy’s “new idea”(Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?
A. Improving oneself through helping others.
B. Going abroad to help the sick.
C. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.
D. Doing simple things to help the poor.
D
More than 4 in 10 cancers, 600,000 in the UK alone, could be prevented if people led healthier lives, say experts. The population of the UK is about 63,000,000.
Latest researches from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor (因素), followed by unhealthy diets. The charity advises people to live healthily, limit alcohol intake（酒精摄入）and do regular exercise.
According to the research from 2007 to 2011, more than 300,000 cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking. A further 145,000 were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed (加工的) food. ](肥胖) contributed to 88,000 cases and alcohol to 62,200. Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors.
Professor Max Parkin, a Cancer researcher, says, “There’s now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk, with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors.
“Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holiday so we don’t have to stop eating beef pies and drinking wine but it’s a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2015.
“Leading a healthy lifestyle can’t promise that someone won’t get cancer but we can stack the odds in our favor by taking positive steps.”
Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in
reducing cancer risk. It says campaigns such as Smokefree, Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness (意识). It’s important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments, but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer.
32. Which of the following is the second biggest avoidable cancer factor?
A. Obesity.
B. Alcohol intake

33. According to Professor Max Parkin, .
A. the causes of cancer are still unclear now
B. it’s OK to drink wine during festivals
C. people should stop having unhealthy food completely
D. a healthy life style will protect us from cancer
34. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph6, Professor Max Parkin means we can____.
A. help others
B. improve our lives
C. decrease our cancer risk
D. discover cancer early
35. What’s the main idea of the text?

Tips for building a treehouse
A treehouse can be a magical hiding place, or play place for almost any child, as well as a fun project for any adult. 36 If you give your dream tree house the care and attention that it deserves, then you can enjoy it for years. Ready to start? Follow our tips.
Choose the perfect tree.
Before you can really start dreaming up what your treehouse will look like, you’ve got to have the right tree---it will be the foundation for your hiding place and your treehouse will have to be tailor-made for it. Choose a tree that’s healthy and at least 18 inches in diameter (直径). 37
38
Your treehouse will be part of the outdoors, so design it to be part of nature. Trees grow and move in the wind, so you should consider these forces in any treehouse design. This applies to the appearance of the house, too.
Get permission.
You’re excited about your treehouse plans, but your neighbors might not be. 39 More importantly, check if your town requires a building permit for the size of treehouse you’re planning. It’s better to ask for permission rather than forgiveness.
Take your time.
40 Like, maybe three or four times longer. Sometimes as much as ten times longer. But don’t let that prevent you from setting out to build the treehouse of your dreams.
A. Design your treehouse with nature in mind.
B. Don’t stop trees from growing freely.
C. Building a treehouse takes careful planning and construction, but finally you will find it is worth your hard work.
D. Start by figuring out how high you want the treehouse.
E. Be sure to tell your plans to anyone who might be affected.
F. It might take a little longer to build a treehouse than you thought it might.
G. Look for the known long-lived trees in your part of the world.
第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In our culture people always advise us to compare ourselves with others. “You can win; the others aren’t as 41 as you,”“You must be the best in your class,”etc. This is not the best way of thinking. There are many reasons to 42 this way of thinking and begin to compare ourselves 43 with ourselves.
The first reason to 44 comparing yourself with others is that there will always be someone better than you. It doesn’t matter in which aspect; it is always 45 . Therefore, you could feel worse to others. For example, you can be the best 46 , and this can make you feel extremely 47 . But if someday you find someone is better
than you are, you could feel 48 , although you are 49 good at delivering a speech.
The second reason to avoid this kind of 50 is that you will always find someone 51 than you. This of course can make you feel good, but this feeling can turn into a 52 pride. For example, if you are the second best student in your class, and one day the very best student 53 the school, you will then be the best one 54 you are still only as good as you were before.
The last but most 55 reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is that when we do, we are likely to 56 them. We may do the same thing as them, and act and think like them too. Then we will never know who we 57 are and what we really want, and then we will never get improved.
For all these reasons and because we are 58 , we should not compare ourselves with others. In this way, we will not feel less or more than others, and we will 59 ourselves as we really are. 60 , we will be happier.
41.A. happy B. busy C. young D.good
42. A. introduce B. change C. understand D. remember
43. A.even B. again C. only D. also
44. A. avoid B. start C.forget D. enjoy
45. A. doubtful B. smart C. true D. strange
46. A. designer B. speaker C.teacher D. student
47. A. tired B.lucky C. proud D. anxious
48. A. silly B. shy C. nervous D. sad
49. A. just B. still C. rather D. almost
50. A. comparison B. education C. treatment D. system
51. A. later B. stronger C. worse D. faster
52. A. terrible B. great C. special D. simple
53. A. likes B. leaves C. helps D. cleans
54. A. although B. unless C. until D. because
55. A. obvious B. important C. unknown D. practical
