第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
第一节：阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A
My son was a second-grader。

He went to school by bus every day。

He was the first student on in the morning，as we were farthest from school，and the last student off in the evening。

I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment。

One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school.“Perhaps he’s just a bit late，”said the secretary.“I will call the driver to see if those children are home.”
A few minutes later，I answered the phone to hear that the other students
were home。

Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had got off at their stop to play。

The answers were all “No。

"
By that time, it was dark and I was scared。

My home was in the mountain areas，and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere。

My husband wasn’t at home，so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him。

I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay，” I heard。

“He was asleep on the seats in the back，under a couple of jackets。

Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family？"
I was relieved and agreed。

Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver，so he could check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead；it is a sign of their concern for students, parents，and staff。

A mum saved her daughter's life with her newly learned first aid skills. Sonya Hall，33，of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly。

Sonya，who also has son Emmen，six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children’s Centre in Lancaster。

Then she was faced with every parent's worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing。

But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s life。

Sonya said: “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth—to—mouth and chest compressions （胸外按压)。

It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime。

”
After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then，Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断）with Reflex Anoxic Seizure （反射缺氧发作）. Sonya said：“The seizure can happen when there’s any unexpected pain, fear or fright。

It is just so lucky that the day before it happened，I had been practising first aid."
The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning. Sonya said: “I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it。

” 67。

What happened to Tilly?
A. She was knocked down by her brother。

B. She fell on the floor and hit her head。

be crying B。

be very angry

pretend to be hurt D。

recognize her failure

grateful D. confident

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。

Question：Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt. 71 How I wish
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
things would be better if he’d just say he's sorry and ask them to forgive him。

Answer：72 It's just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment (尴尬）of admitting he was wrong。

You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time。

In fact, most of us have。

Furthermore，what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes？
73 Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults。

Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong。

Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 74
But others see through our pride。

And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 75
Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again。

Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.
A。

But a deeper reason is pride。

B。

But he just refuses to do that.
C。

We may even hope that somehow they will overlook it。

D。

As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings。

E。

There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize。

F。

Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict with others.
G。

One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.

七、书面表达
Dear Headmaster，
I'm writing to persuade you to let us surf the Internet in the classroom. We know you’re afraid that we may be exposed to unhealthy websites。

Actually every coin has two sides。

We still think that surfing the Internet can bring us much more advantages.
First of all, I think it would be better if we can surf the Internet, because there is a wide range of learning resources on the Internet. We should make good use of it. Furthermore，we can broaden our horizons by reading various news online. Last but not least, as high school students, we are building up our sense of judgment。

Given chances, we are sure that
we will learn how to stay away from unhealthy websites。

I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision.
Looking forward to your reply。

Yours，
Li Ming。
