(时间：100分钟；满分120分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
In the fall of 1985，I was a bright­eyed girl heading off to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty­one years later I am still a bright eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college，she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In 1999，we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003，I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising，I never did make it back to college full­time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree !
I am not special，just single­minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you're in the midst of it，it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.

Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所) volunteer.His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice，about how one day，she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.But there was nothing wrong，he only wanted some companionship.He didn't want to be alone，so she sat with him.Goldsmith thought to himself，“There's no reason
I can't do that.”
Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he st month，Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith，18，for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a $ 500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.
“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick，”Susie Flood said.“He hasn't just given his own time and energy，but he's encouraged others to do the same.”Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House.He chose it because his mother's friend，whose story had forced him to volunteer，works there.
“They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers，”Goldsmith said.“The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer se rvice hours to anyone who would like to volunteer.”Students must earn a certain number of service，or community service hours to graduate from Dowling.
When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college，he'll give up leading the hospice service­le arning program.“I want us，as Dowling students，to keep making a difference，”he said.“It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people，but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside.”

根据文章第一段中的“There's no reason I can't do that.”和第三段中的“He chose it because his mother's friend，whose story had forced him to volunteer，works there.”可知，Nick Goldsmith被妈妈的朋友的故事所激励，自己也想成为一名收容所志愿者。

故答案为B。

【答案】 B
6．Why did Goldsmith start the student volunteer program?
A．To meet his school's requests.
B．To make more students work for him.
C．To help himself to graduate.
D．To help more patients at a hospice.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据文章第二段中的“...to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates”可知，其目的是为了为收容所培养更多的志愿者，从而也就帮助了收容所里更多的病人。

故答案为D。

【答案】 D
7．Which of the following is TRUE of Susie Flood?
A．She worked for Iowa Health Hospice.
B．She taught at Dowling Catholic High School.
C．She acted as one of Des Moines' officials.
D．She was a patient at Taylor House Hospice.
【解析】推理判断题。

关于Susie Flood的身份，从文章第二段中的“...a $500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.”可知Goldsmith获得的奖学金是由Iowa Health Hospice所发放的；由第三段中的“‘That was by far the least we could do to recog nize Nick，’Susie Flood said.”可以判断出这个人应该是服务于Iowa Health Hospice的。

故答案为A。

【答案】 A

Finding a job is difficult.But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job.Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.
Be friendly to people.Any job is better when you are friends of the people that you are working with.You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting.Actually listen to what these people tell you.Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.
Stay positive.One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity.If you automatically (无意识地) make judgments about things at the office that you aren't going to like，then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude.Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.
Keep relaxed.Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately.You are going to make some mistakes.You are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things differently than what they're used to.Be relaxed.The thing that you really need to get used to a new job，is just time.
Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy，but it doesn't have to be particularly difficult either.Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accepting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all! After you have adjusted to your new job the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.
9．The underline d word “untoward” in Para.1 probably means ．
A．difficult B．impressive
C．important D．shocking
【解析】词义猜测题。

根据画线词上文的“Finding a job is difficult.”以及画线词前的“even more”可推断，画线词所在句意为“获得新工作之后，如何适应新的工作环境更难。

”即画线词含义是“困难的”。

【答案】 A
10．In the author's opinion，you can learn unspoken rules by ．
A．asking for others' help
B．copying others' behavior
C．following others' instructions
D．noticing what's going on in the workplace

根据第二段可知，交朋友能帮助人们适应新的环境，人们喜欢和善于倾听自己所交的朋友。

由此判断，倾听别人有助于适应新的环境。

【答案】 B
11．If the passage continues，what may be talked about?
A．How to keep relaxed.
B．How to do your job well.
C．How to make fewer mistakes in your job.
D．The importance of adjusting to your new job.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据最后一段“After you have adjusted to your new job the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.”可知，适应了新工作之后，如何做好这份工作就成为随之而来的首要问题。

由此推断，文章接下来会阐述如何做好你的工作。

【答案】 B
12．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．What to do in an interview
B．Ways to find a satisfactory job
C．Tips for adjusting to a new job
D．How to get along well with others
【解析】标题归纳题。

根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.”可知，本文主要讲述的是如何适应新的工作环境。

【答案】 C
D

【语篇解读】本文是一篇游记，记述了作者游览阳朔的所见、所闻、所感。

41．【解析】考查时态。

由主句中的was和后一句中的didn't可知，这里使用一般过去时态。

【答案】arrived
42．【解析】考查副词。

根据句意和I'd been at home的时态可知此处表示“几个小时前，我待在香港的家里”，“待在家里”应该是发生在过去动作arrived之前，故此处填before或earlier均可。

【答案】before/earlier
43．【解析】考查代词。

因为smog是名词，所以需要用it的形容词性物主代词形式。

【答案】its
44．【解析】考查定语从句的引导词。

根据句意和句子结构可知此处是一个定语从句，因为先行词是物，且引导词在定语从句中作主语，所以用that或which引导从句。

【答案】that/which
45．【解析】考查名词的单复数。

因为该词由so many修饰，所以用复数形式。

【答案】paintings
46．【解析】考查介词。

【答案】by
47．【解析】考查主谓一致和时态。

【答案】is
48．【解析】考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，此句的主干为A study of travelers names Yangshuo as one of the top...。

study和conduct之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词作定语。

【答案】conducted
49．【解析】考查形容词变副词。

此处需要一个副词修饰动词arrange，表示“经常安排快捷的短假”。

【答案】regularly
50．【解析】考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，空格处为非谓语动词，因为people 与live之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，作后置定语，此处表示“经常为生活在上海和香港的人安排快捷的短假”。

【答案】living
