It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man.College，career，and life itself got in the way.In fact，Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams.There，in the rush of his busy life，Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife
and son.He was working on his future，and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone，his mother told him，“Mr.Belser died last night.The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack，did you hear me？”
“Oh，sorry，Mom.Yes，I heard you.It's been so long since I thought of him.I'm sorry，but I honestly thought he died years ago，” Jack said.
“Well，he didn't forget you.Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing.He'd reminisce(回忆)about the many days you spent over …his side of the fence‟ as he put it，” Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in，” Jack said.
“You know，Jack，after your father died，Mr.Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life，” she said.
“He's the one who taught me carpentry.I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him.He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important.Mom，I'll be there for the funeral，” Jack said.
Busy as he was，he kept his word.Jack caught the next flight to his hometown.Mr.Belser's funeral was small and uneventful.He had no children of his own，and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home，Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time，which was exactly as he remembered.Every step held memories.Every picture，every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly.
“What's wrong，Jack？” his Mom asked.
“The box is gone，” he s aid.
“What box？” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk.I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside.All he'd ever tell me was…the thing I value most‟，” Jack said.
It was gone.Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it，except for the box.He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now，I'll never know what was so valuable to him，” Jack said sadly.
Returning to his office the next day，he found a package on his desk.The return address caught his attention.
“Mr.Harold Belser” it read.
Jack tore open the package.There inside was the gold box and an envelope.Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside.
“Upon my death，please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett.It's the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter.His heart racing，and tears filling his eyes，Jack carefully unlocked the box.There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover，he opened it.
Inside he found these words carved：“Jack，Thanks for your time！Harold Belser.”
“Oh，My God！This is the thing he valued most...”
Jack held the watch for a few minutes，then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days.
“Why？” his a ssistant asked.
“I need some time to spend with my son，” he said.

Part ⅢWriting
Section A
Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Scientists，doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between color and mood for years.Many now believe that colors can not only cause emotional reactions，but can also correct mood.Colors behave in three basic ways：active，passive and neutral(中和色的)．
Active colors are warm colors，including yellow，orange and red.These colors bring confidence.Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes.Yellows and golden colors work well in offices，kitchens and study areas.Reds heat up a room.Passive colors or cool colors make people calm，quiet and satisfied.Bedrooms，private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens.Beige，gray and white are thought of as neutral colors.They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down(使柔和) colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.
You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors.Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion，and provide a welcoming feel for guests.
To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room，use bright，warm colors like yellow，orange and red.These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight.Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms.You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts，such as kitchens and laundry room.In rooms where there's plenty of sunshine，cool colors can provide a calming environment.Sage greens and sky blues are prefect for bedrooms，playrooms and activity areas.Neutral colors，such pale gray，white and beige，send a peaceful message to your brain.It's not a coincidence that most doctor's offices，coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.
To make your wall color choices better，pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast.Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.
Directions：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
I am so excited to spend the weekend on the beach，but there's one thing that's stressing me out about the next few days—sunscreen，more specifically，making sure that my family，my friends，and YOU are wearing enough of it.At the risk of sounding like the world's most annoying broken record，I had to remind you how important it is to protect your skin from the sun.I know that applying sunblock every day can be tiresome，but it's 100% necessary unless you want to end up with wrinkles，dark blotches (斑点)，or worse，melanoma(黑瘤)．Here are three ways to keep in mind while you're outside in the sun.
1．Use a broad-spectrum formula
Those two words tell you that the product protects your skin from both UV A and UVB rays.UV A rays cause wrinkles and can trigger melanoma and basal-and squamous-cell carcinomas(细胞癌)．UVB rays cause sunburns and are also to blame for many cases of melanoma.
2．Cover important spots first
Apply sunscreen on the back of your neck，along your hairline，on your hands，ears，and on the soles (脚掌)of your feet (seriously！)．And don't forget to shield your sensitive scalp(头皮) with a hat or a pretty scarf.As for the rest of your body，here's a great guide to putting on sunscreen right.
3．Don't leave out your lips
Lips are a prime skin cancer spot，so it's very important that you protect your lips every time you go e a lip balm with at least SPF 15.
51．What might be the result of not using sunblock in the sun？(no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 52．What contribute to the risk of getting melanoma according to the passage？(no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 53．Name at least three things that can be helpful to protecting your skin in the sun.(no more than 7 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 54．Please give this passage a title within 10 words.(no more than 10 words)

参考答案
Part Ⅰ
Section A
1.B句意：“我喜欢夏天早起。

呼吸早晨的空气是有益于身心的。

”后一句是The morning air is so good for me to breathe.的省略句，故B项正确。

2. C in one's view“在某人看来”。

3. C句意：“不管天气如何，运动会会如期举行。

”instead of“代替，而不是”；in relation to“与……相比”；in favour of“支持”。

4.D句意：“我高兴地发现自从我上一次见到他之后，他有了很大的进步。

”since 引导时间状语从句时，从句往往用一般过去时，主句往往用现在完成时。

5.B句意：“他的力气没有白费，汽车终于启动了。

”prize只能作名词；reword“改写，修改措辞”。

6. B句意：“此次战役后，他们每个人都被授予一枚特殊的勋章。

”attribute...to...“把……归于……”；reward“酬劳，奖赏”；release“释放”；award“授予，判给”。

7. A
8. B句意：“尝试新的运动、游戏和其他的活动以及新鲜的食物，你会更强壮，更有耐力，看起来和感觉都会更好。

”由于前文已经出现and，因此不选C项。

9.B agreement与reach之间为被动关系，故用被动语态，从而排除C、D项；主句为一般过去时，从句也要用过去时态，因此用过去完成时。

10.A句意：“聚积在地下的能量总要通过这样或那样的方式释放出来，比如，地震。

”assemble“集合；组合”，accumulate“积聚，积累”。

11.D动名词复合结构作主语。

12. A句意：“我希望你少聊点天，多做点事，那样事情将会更好。

15. A从题干可知，句子的谓语“will do”没有主语，而选项B、C、D均不能在句中作主语。

Section B
16．D通过后文可知，因为“我”不负责任的做法，“我”的父亲给了“我”一块表提醒“我”要做一个“负责任”的人。

17．A由文中第一句话“Time is very important in our lives”可知答案为importance。

后文的“I'm sorry about not picking up my Uncle Ali”也是提示。

18．C“我”应该在9点的时候去机场“接”叔叔。

pick up sb.“开车接某人”。

19．B因为“我”和朋友在外面“闲逛”，所以“我”迟到了。

20．C在11点的时候，“我”“想起了”叔叔，但是已经“晚了”(叔叔已经乘出租车回家了)。

21．D
22．A那一刻“我”觉得非常“羞愧”；shy指因为生性腼腆而害羞，不合题意。

23．B have fun “玩得高兴”，符合题意。

24．C句意：你应该为自己的行为感到“抱歉”。

25．A由第一段中的“organized my life”可知答案为life。

26．B父亲给“我”上了重要的一课：尊重时间，不要迟到。

Part Ⅱ
36．C根据第一段“Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams.There，in the rush of his busy life，Jack had little time to think about the past...”可知。

D项错误，因为杰克并没有因为繁忙的生活而完全冲刷了对童年的记忆。

B项错误，因为杰克忙得甚至家人都无法顾及。

37．C根据杰克母亲的电话内容，很容易选出答案。

38．A根据“Jack，Thanks for your time！Harold Belser.”可以判断。

39．D杰克从哈罗德·贝尔瑟对他的感谢中感悟出亲情的重要。

这也是文章想表达的主旨。

A、B、C三项文中均未提及。

40．B文章以哈罗德·贝尔瑟最珍惜的the gold box为线索，表现的是人们最珍惜的应该是人与人之间的感情这个主旨。

所以B项最佳。
