While building a much 43 ground (by stacking(摞起) tables and chairs), I saw my 44 , a young pretty lady, whose skirt was already wet with mud（泥浆）and trash, 45 to remove all the
flood water from the room using a bucket(水桶) and 46 it outside the garden. I also 47 that there were some books on the shelves, some were already wet at the bottom, and she was doing her best to 48 the other books. I was moved deeply by her 49 .
While crying with tears on my nose, I pulled up the edges of my pants, 50 my shoes, and walked through the flooded classroom. I grabbed(抓住) a plastic bag and tried to remove the flood

“Go back and wait for your parents. Just 52 it to me,”she said. I continued saying, “But teacher…”

四、阅读理解（15×2分）
A
When I was young, I read many kinds of books, including fairy tales. Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful. So, I believed I had to e beautiful if I wanted to become a great person.
As I grew up, I began to realize outer beauty was not so important to make someone good. I remember a friend of mine, Janie, who was so beautiful that every classmate wanted to talk with her, but she was very arrogant(傲慢的).
She believed that she could do everything she wanted because she was so beautiful, but she lost friends one by one. My poor friend! But she learned a good lesson: inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. After she learned that, she changed her attitude（态度看法）and made friends again.
Whenever I see TV advertisements（广告）, I feel that these things make us believe beauty is very important—especially physical（身体的）attractiveness（吸引力魅力）. Although we say that inner beauty is more valuable, we often look to plastic surgery to make us more beautiful. There seems to be a boom(流行) in plastic surgery. It is surprising to realize the number of people who try it is increasing day by day.
We know good-looking guys usually get higher scores on job interviews. So, what is real beauty?
I want to say that inner beauty is the real one because if someone has beauty in his soul（灵魂心灵）, he looks like a really beautiful person.
The beauty looked at with eyes doesn’t last forever. Instead of concentrating on（专注）outer beauty, we should concentrate on inner beauty. The point is that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. So, if we make the effort to make our minds beautiful, we’ll be happier.
56.When the author was young, she thought if he wanted to succeed, .
A. she must have good looks.
B. she must learn from the heroes
C. she had to work hard at her lessons
D. she had to read many kinds of books.
57.Why did Janie lose friends one by one?
A. Because she was too shy.
B. Because she wouldn’t take their advice.
C. Because she looked down upon（瞧不起轻视）others.
D. because she didn’t study well at her lessons.
58.The underlined phrase“plastic surgery”in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A. 化妆
B. 整形
C. 健身
D. 阅读
B

Applying(申请) to colleges in high school can be exciting, yet stressful at the same time. You might not have the best GPA, or SAT/ACT score, or you might have the wrong people surrounding (围绕)you, like discouraging(使人泄气的) friends or even counselors. In my case, I had to deal with a mentor (导师) who was extremely discouraging.
When I started to apply to colleges, I decided to get some advice from the mentor at the
school career center. I laid out all the colleges I wanted to attend and showed her my grades. She immediately shot down some of the colleges, and told me I couldn’t get into them. Cal Poly SLO was one of my choices and she told me straight off,
“You shouldn’t apply there. You’re not going to get in. (被录取) ” She then laid out a new set of colleges that I would have a better chance at.
When I left her office I almost started crying. She literally shot down all my dreams in just one encounter(经历). I told my mom what had happened and she said that I should still apply and that I should never let anyone turn me down no matter what. I ended up applying to all the colleges that I waned. I didn’t let the mentor get in my way.
I finally got my decisions that I was accepted by 5 out of the
6 universities I applied to and one of them was Cal Poly SLO. I was so overjoyed that I had gotten accepted. I was never doubtful at first but after hearing what the mentor had said I felt like I wasn’t good enough and I felt like maybe I really wasn’t qualified.
It just shows that you shouldn’t ever l et anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Turn around and prove(证明) them wrong.

五、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Travelling is a great way to find oneself, and discover the beautiful things around. It is an amazing way to explore different parts of the world, meet new people, try out new things, and have fun. However, travelling is expensive.
When we plan for a trip, we tend to pay attention to the airfare and accommodation. We make a mistake by not planning the rest of the trip, which includes food..Most people think that food is mainly included in the accommodation cost, but this is far from true. Of course, the hotel you are staying in might provide free lunch or dinner, but the chances are slim. Most hotels offer only a free breakfast, making much money when you eat lunch
or supper at their restaurants. In the end, you’ll realize the most expensive part of your trip is not the airfare or the accommodation, but the food. Thankfully, there are some things you
can do to reduce the money you spend on food while travelling.
You need to spend wisely on water. Water is something you often need. You may not be able to carry a lot, which means you will end up buying a lot of it. Buying a bottle of water every time you are thirsty is not the way to go if you wish to save money. Instead, buy a big bottle of water and carry a smaller bottle, which you can fill again, every time you go out. Try not to drink tap water (自来水) when you are travelling, especially if you travel in a different country.
Also, try to eat at restaurants that charge reasonable price and stay away from popular tourist spots because prices there are much higher. Actually, many places around the world have a rich culture of street food. In some places, the street food may be even better than that in restaurants, and it is not expensive, so you will end up saving a large amount of money.
In addition, you can also visit a supermarket and spend a little money on things that you can eat in your room. You’d better not buy drinks sold at
restaurants while you are travelling. If it’s necessary,
then look for places that serve free drinks with the
food. Keep a record of all your food expenses in a diary, which can help you keep those food expenses in control. Have a nice trip!
六、单词拼写（根据汉语意思或首字母填空，每小题1分）

八、书面表达
Recently, our class held a discussion on whether an only child is happier than a child who has brothers or sisters. Different students have different opinions.
About sixty percent of the students think that an only child is happier. In their opinion, the only child may get all the love from his parents. He can also enjoy good living conditions.
Besides, his parents can make their efforts to offer him the best education because they expect much of him. Finally, his parents have less burden so they feel less pressured and can spare more time to accompany him.
However, other students hold an opposite view. They think that if a child has brothers or sisters, he can learn how to share things with others more easily. He can also get on better with others. What’s more, he may do better in cooperation with others.
As far as I’m concerned, although an only child can enjoy the love of his parents, he may feel lonely from time to time. Only with children of his age, he can feel happy from his heart. So relatively a child who has brothers or sisters is happier.。
