Ⅰ.阅读理解
Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.
Michael remembers those early years when he was young.“My father was a machine operator，” he explained, “and he worked at a st eel plant.My mother worked at Sears, a big department store.But they were both musicians.”
Michael's father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians.In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good.He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.
Practice makes perfect.And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape.Then word of this group began to get around.Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱) songs.In the following years, Michael was always on the top.One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!
When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting.“I plan to star in movies，” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”
Michael wrote a lot of his own songs.“Songs came about in the strangest ways，” he said, “I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song co ming into my head.And then I put it down on the paper.”
Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm.“I just do a different job from other people，” he said, “but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people.”
To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了一位90岁的英国女性仍然坚持每周工作40个小时而获得“年度女性奖”的事迹。

语篇以积极工作为切入点，宣扬劳动精神，引导考生培养劳动意识。

1．being
解析：考查非谓语动词。

介词for后跟动词时，要用其动名词形式。

2．which
解析：考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。

分析句子结构可知，逗号后是非限制性定语从句，the pet shop是先行词，定语从句中缺少opened的宾语，故用which引导非限制性定语从句。

3．finally
解析：考查副词。

副词修饰动词acknowledge。

4．declared
解析：考查时态。

分析句子结构可知，主句中缺少谓语动词；结合后面的had可知，此处应使用一般过去时。

5．to_retire
解析：考查非谓语动词。

此处用不定式短语作plans的后置定语，表示“她没有退休的计划”。

6．have_made
解析：考查时态。

根据空格后的时间状语over the years可知，句子要用现在完成时。

7．but
解析：考查连词。

not...but...不是……而是……。

句意：我工作不是因为我必须工作，而是因为我想工作。

8．saying
解析：考查非谓语动词。

say与前面的a call之间是主动关系，故填saying，现在分词短语saying...作后置定语，修饰a call。

9．a
解析：考查冠词。

joke“笑话，玩笑”，是可数名词。

空格后用了单数joke，故其前用a。

10．wonderful
解析：考查词性转换(名词变形容词)。

系动词is后面跟形容词作表语。

wonder对应的形容词是wonderful。

Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

续写的词数应为150左右。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school，when，on turning a corner，Robert cried out，“A fight! Let's go and see！”
“No，”said Henry.“Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手)this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward，and afraid to go，”said Robert，and he ran away.Henry went straight home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on，they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play
with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school，they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later，Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river，and got out of his depth.He struggled，and screamed for help，but all in vain.His so­called friends got out of the water as fast as they could，and did not even try to help him.
答案
Paragraph 1：
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned.Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by.Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation.He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time.With great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Paragraph 2：
Thus, Robert's life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward.They realized that Henry had true courage.They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness.Henry forgave them happily.He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual.From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.。
