A
I grew up without a father.Well，sort of，my parents divorced in the 1960s when I was a small child，and I stayed with my mother in Los Angeles.My father remarried and moved to a small suburb of Atlanta.For one month out of the year in the summer，I would fly back and spend time with my dad，so I had a father at times.
Further，I had a series of stepfathers who ranged from wonderful guys to alcoholics to dangerous individuals.Having lived through such experiences，I find it amusing when people say that children really need a father in the home.Well，if he is a good father and a good man，then I agree pletely.If he is not，then the child might actually be better off without him.We don’t just need fathers—we need good fathers.
I feel it fair to say I ended up a very successful adult，at least that’s what people tell me.So how did I do it? I think it started with me having a bit of a chip on my shoulder.Normally this is not a good thing，but in my case it was rocket fuel for achievement.Not having a father in my life gave me something to prove，and it motivated me in an “I’ll show you” way.
I also tried very hard，even as a little boy to be selfsufficient.And that means I did not rely upon my parents
except to the extent necessary.This kind of independence I believe is highly missed in this age of highly managed children with “helicopter” parents hovering(盘旋) above them constantly.
I also think I never wanted not having a father in my life to be an excuse for myself.We make and allow excuses constantly these days，but I just never felt that feeling sorry for myself was going to get me anywhere，I think if children can adopt such mindsets early in their lives it can be helpful.
1．According to the first two paragraphs，the author thinks .
A．his father is a bad one
B．nobody needs a father
C．children need a good father

2．How did the author end up a very successful adult?
A．He was very intelligent.
B．He made excuse for himself.
C．He was motivated by a father.
D．He was very independent and tried very hard.
3．What does the underlined word “selfsufficient” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Able to support myself.
B．Able to dress myself very quickly.
C．Able to play by myself.
D．Able to work on my own.
4．How can we describe the author from the passage?
A．Friendly，clever and warmhearted.
B．Clever，determined and independent.
C．Motivated，hardworking and independent.
D．Motivated，hardworking and warmhearted.

When I was five years old，my parents would have to pull me home from yet another painful English vacation.I still didn’t want to leave.I wanted to be away from home.I wanted to go somewhere new and exciting.This became the theme of the next tw enty years.I’d spend the whole year counting down to my next holiday，and then as soon as I left I’d begin to dread having to return home.Year after year.
Ten years ago，I decided to build a life that I didn’t want to escape from.I knew I wanted to travel in the long term，but I didn’t have a lot of money or savings，and there is no one paying for my adventures.For five years，I did three jobs while studying fulltime at university.I didn’t eat out and I didn’t buy anything I didn’t need.I even moved in with my parents.I was able to save $16,000 over those five years，which was enough to keep me on the road for a couple of years.
But what if two years wouldn’t be enough? Before leaving，I began to spend my time in making plans that would allow me to work anywhere that had an Internet connection.At the time，I was studying for a master degree in physics.While studying I came up with a list of my interests and skills and began researching into a way to do these anywhere.If I could make money from it and if I could do it online，then it was something worth going after.
I created a writing file that would help me to find free writing jobs.I researched English and physics teaching online，and built travel websites to earn ine through sales and advertising.Most of these failed，but I didn’t give up.
The work I do has changed over the years and it’s still changing now.Now，I pay my traveling through several different things.I’m the Student Travel Expert for About，and a senior writer for Too Many Adapters，a travel technology website.In addition，I will have my first book published this summer.I also offer a travel planning service to help readers prepare for their travels abroad.
To reach this point，where I can cover my expenses and travel fulltime，I took many，many years of hard work.For me，the freedom makes it worth it.With everything set in place，finally my dream came true.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲了在暑假期间，作者参加了第十六届自然英语竞赛，在比赛中作者名列前十，获得了宝贵的经验。

作者也非常感谢朋友的帮助。

1．答案the 解析：考查冠词。

文中特指“第十六届自然英语竞赛”，用定冠词，所以填the。

2．答案gained 解析：考查时态。

由空前的was listed可知，此处应用一般过去时，所以填gained。

3．答案to go 解析：考查非谓语动词。

expect to do sth.期望做某事，所以填to go。

4．答案But 解析：考查连词。

由空前的“I had never thought”和空后的“I set out for”可知，前后句为转折关系，所以填But。

5．答案teammates 解析：考查名词的用法。

“one of＋可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，所以填teammates。

6．答案powerful 解析：考查词性转换。

此处与new一起作were的表语，故用形容词形式。

7．答案who 解析：考查非限制性定语从句。

此处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是my coach，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以填who。

8．答案clearly 解析：考查词性转换。

该空修饰动词express，用副词，所以填clearly。

9．答案to 解析：考查固定短语。

句意为：多亏了这次比赛和朋友的帮助，我现在在舞台上感到更加放松，说话也更加自信。

thanks to幸亏。

10．答案talking 解析：考查非谓语动词。

此处是状语从句的省略。

talk的逻辑主语是I，它们之间是主动关系，故用现在分词talking。

IV.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In many societies，there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin.Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty，intelligence and success.These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group，if some members are darker skinned than others.
The result is that skin lightening has bee a mon activity across Africa，Asia and other areas of the world.More and more people with dark skin are using skinlightening products，even if they may face health risks.
They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives.Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family.Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.
Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter.This process is also called bleaching(漂白)．But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous.One of the chemicals has been linked to kidney(肾) damage and some kinds of cancer.It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy(怀孕)．
At first，bleaching products make the skin color lighter.But after longterm use they can cause problems.They can even make some skin darker.The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin.The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight.Then the skin can bee thick and ually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem，but this only makes it worse.
Doctor Ly，who works in a hospital，says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger.Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails，infections and permanent skin damage.And these are not the only risks.Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage.They feel regret and sadness.They feel that instead of risking their health，they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.
【经典范文】
Many people prefer light skin to dark skin believing that it helps improve their lives and caters to the social standard of beauty.(要点1) Therefore，it is mon to try skinlightening products.(要点2) However，bleaching products containing chemicals have longlasting harmful effects on physical condition and emotions.(要点3)What’s worse，it may fail to achieve expected results.(要点4)Thus，people who tried the products realize they should not put their health at risk but accept their natural colors．(要点5)。
