AI climbed Kilimanjaro with Lava Expeditions (探险队) during the rainy season.I flew to Nairobi in Kenya and spent several days there. At my hotel in NairobiI met the rest of the group with whom I would spend the next week. We all travelledon the bus together for a 6-hour journey into Tanzania and then Arusha, a quiet town.After we arrived at our hotel in Arusha, we had dinner and a few drinks. Then wewere introduced to more members including Taddeus Minja, the main guide, who wasvery experienced — climbing Kilimanjaro runs through the generations (代) of his family.The next day the Lava Expeditions members c hecked if we had the correct and enough clothing for our expedition on Kilimanjaro. Only one person needed to bring moreclothes.After that we set off, walking in the rain through the beauty of the rainforest,all the way to the first camp. I was happy the next few days as the view was sowonderful and changed every day. I suffered a little during the trip and I felt sotired. But the members of Lava Expeditions provided me with lots of encouragement, which was one of the best memories. Finally we reached the top of Kilimanjaro inbright blue skies.I felt excited about climbing Kilimanjaro and the feeling didn’t change duringmy trip. Lava Expeditions looked after me so well that I was deeply thankful fortheir help.1. What do we know about Taddeus Minja according to the passage?A. He organized the journey.B. He was the leader of Lava Expeditions.C. He was the manager of a hotel in Arusha.D. He had much knowledge about climbing mountains.2. How did Lava Expeditions help the author while climbing Kilimanjaro?A. By carrying bags for him.B. By offering food to him.C. By encouraging him.D. By teaching him climbing skills.3. What did the author think of his climbing Kilimanjaro?A. Tiring and disappointing.B. Tiring but happy.C. Dangerous but exciting.D. Dangerous and tiring.4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell readers about Lava Expeditions.B. To give readers advice on climbing Kilimanjaro.C. To encourage more people to climb Kilimanjaro.D. To share his experience of climbing Kilimanjaro.BOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to havefriends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them —If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they wantyou to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something theyneed.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make themfeel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicestthings you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with meat my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!Make p lans —Try to make p lans with your friends. Go s hopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better bydoing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have agood time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!5. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.A. give him or her some adviceB. just listen unless askedC. calm him or her downD. share your feelings as well6. When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.A. try to do everything for themB. put them before ourselvesC. change their bad habits firstD. ignore their faults7. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?A. Life without a friend is death.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. A man is known by his friends.CWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a goodstudent, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all thisas long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears inmy eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked.“Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clearpicture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you，”he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you haveto learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When s omething said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is fullof people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all,but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a betterpiece of advice.8.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy”had said.B．He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C．He told her to write down all that her“enemy”had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.9.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.10.Why did her father listen to her quietly?A．Because he believed that what her daughter's“enemy”said was mostly true.B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter's shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D．Because he wasn't quite sure which girl was telling the truth.11.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A．Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB．The Best Advice I've Ever HadC．My FatherD．My ChildhoodDGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learnedas children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance togo 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 “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 trials(尝试)increase the length oftime we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycleriding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We c ontinue to listento and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We n ot only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule thatwe forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another 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 college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on theexamination, 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.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D．Stories for children arc easy to remember.13.The author explains the law of overlearning by______.A．presenting research findingsB．selling down general rulesC．making a comparisonD．using examples14.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.15.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A．It leads to failure in college exams.B．It's helpful only in a limited way.C．It's possible to result in poor memory.D．It increases students' learning interest.第二节（共5小题；毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a great explosive sound.“I was driving to work. It was quite dark, but it suddenly became bright as if it were day，”said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart 30 km —50 km above ground according to Russia's Academy of Sciences.“The energy released when it entered the Earth's atmosphere was equal to a few kilotons，”the academy said, “the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.”No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to Urals Region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.56．The underlined word “smashed” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．broke B．melted C．swallowed D．cleared57．We can know from the passage that ________.A．Moscow is 1,500 kilometers away from the east of ChelyabinskB．many houses were destroyed, with lots of people reported missingC．Viktor Prokofiev became blind after seeing the rare spectacleD．the shock wave briefly influenced mobile phone networks58．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A．“Meteorite Rush” Be gins in RussiaB．President Putin Orders AssistanceC．Meteorite Hits Russia, 1,200 People HurtD．Meteorite Flies Quickly Across Russia(B)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨气)．” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.59．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Education experts. B．School teachers. C．Parents. D．Students.60．Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?A．Staying in contact with old friends.B．Expressing yourself when it is possible.C．Forming good habits at school.D．Keeping positive about your new school.61．According to the passage, an orientation program ________.A．helps local students in many ways B．is organized by new studentsC．offers help to new students D．focuses on all the students at school62．If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?A．What a new school is like.B．Why parents move with their children.C．How parents and the school can help the children.D．How children can express their anxiety.(C)When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as it's the most precious thing in the world.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,_make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: We don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observingusually ... then you construct a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.63．According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.64．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to drawC．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write65．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．most of us can really grow from successB．growing and improving are based on mistakesC．we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD．we read about something and know how to do it right away66．The author wants to tell us ________.A．what you should do when meeting with difficultiesB．where you can find your mistakesC．how you can avoid making mistakesD．why you should celebrate your mistakes(D)A young, buried woolly mammoth (猛犸象) has been discovered in Siberia near the Arctic Ocean. Nicknamed “Yuka”, the mammoth has been described by discoverers as being “remarkably well preserved (保存)” though being cut open by ancient people.Yuka was discovered in Siberia during an expedition funded in part by the BBC and the Discovery Channel and is believed to be at least 10,000 years old. The discoverers believe this finding could possibly provide evidence of early human activities in the Siberian region. Thanks to the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia, in fact, much of the meat is still undamaged, having a pink color. Light blond hair covers the mammoth. Daniel Fisher, director of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology told Discovery News, “This is the first relatively complete mammoth body — that is, a body with soft tissues (软组织) preserved — to show evidence of human activities.”Working with an international team of experts, Fisher will help analyze Yuka and get genetic (基因的) samples from the body. The team used carbon dating (碳年代测定法) on Yuka. They believe the mammoth to have died at least 10,000 years ago and have been about 2.5 to 4 years old when it died.Judging from the wounds found on the mammoth and other cuts, the team believes Yuka may have been harmed by lions before humans came along to finish the job.“It appears that Yuka was chased by one or more lions, judging from the deep, unhealed scratches (抓痕) in the hide and bite marks on the tail,” Fisher said. “Yuka then apparently fell, breaking one of the lower back-legs. At this point, humans may have moved in to control the body, cutting up much of the animal and removing parts that they would use immediately. They may, in fact, have reburied the rest of the body to keep it in reserve for possible later use. What remains now would then be ‘leftovers’ that they never retrieved.”While most of organs (器官) inside Yuka’s body are missing, such as ribs, ver tebrae, and some meat, the lower parts of each leg, the trunk remain incredibly well preserved.French mammoth hunter Bernard Beigues is also part of the international team, and suggests the humans may have been after Yuka’s fat and large bones. He believe s the bones may have been used in religious ceremonies and therefore were kept close to the body.Such discoveries will enable scientists to study the genetics of these animals. For example, the discovery of Yuka has confirmed an earlier assumption (假设) about mammoths’ hair color. The red hair found all over Yuka proves this theory and provides information about the genetic codes of the mammoth as it relates to hair and eye color. With such a wealth of genetic material to investigate, scientists suggest cloning is possible. Tim Walker, a director and producer for the Discovery Channel told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth could take years, even decades. Yuka will be a part of a new documentary produced by the BBC and the Discovery Channel called “Mammoth”.67. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Yuka’s body remains in excellent condition.B. Yuka’s soft tissues prove ancient human activities.C. Woolly mammoths were enemies of ancient humans.D. Yuka died from the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia.68. The research team has figured out Yuka’s age by ______.A. genetic samplesB. carbon datingC. wounds of the tailD. the light blond hair69. What does the underlined wo rd “retrieved” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.A. worked outB. given upC. got backD. asked for70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Cloning of Yuka the MammothB. A Well-preserved Mammoth BodyC. Ancient Human Activities in SiberiaD. The Missing Parts of the Mammoth Body第二卷(共35分)第一节:任务型阅读 ((共10题，每小题0.5分，满分10分)Passion has somehow become a funny thing. At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.You have to be extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day? It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does. Absolutely right? Not really. Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.It has to be acceptable in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.It will make you money. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full-time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say, sitting in front of the TV eating chips? Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.Passion is simply you. It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness. With a little effort, you can easily findone. And it's something you'll never forget in life.第二节、单词拼写(共10题，每小题0.5分，满分5分)根据所给的中文提示或首字母，写出相应的单词81.
