【题文】My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself .Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip. On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose,
and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.
【小题1】Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B．Some African countries where flu broke out.
C．The places where the earthquakes happened.
D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.
【小题2】How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
A．Tired and troublesome. B．Busy and risky.
C．Meaningful and helpful D．Frightening and depressing.
【小题3】The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.
A．who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B．who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C．who like to take adventures
D．who have lost homes because of disasters.
【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries
B．What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C．The doctor’s adventl【小题2】C推理判断题。

根据第二段最后一句Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.可推测作者觉得自己的人生有益他人，很有意义。

选C
【小题3】D猜测词义题。

上一句提到灾难接二连三地发生后，成百上千的人伤亡，更多的人不得不逃生。

再结合本句中提到的流动诊所以及具体数字可推测此词的含义是“难民”，即因为灾难而失去家园的人们。

选D
【小题4】B推理判断题。

结合倒数第二段后半部分中的内容At the end of her life, she went unconscious.
I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.以及最后一段中的内容可推测作者在妻子去世之前对她说的话如今变成了现实。

选B
【题文】We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒)my luck?”“And Paul-why didn
’t he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.”that’s being friendly. But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ”is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
【小题1】This passage is mainly about_____.
A．how to interpret(understand) what people say
B．what to do when you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D．why we go wrong with people sometimes
【小题2】According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_______. A．we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B．we tend to(倾向)doubt what our friends say
C．people usually state one thing but means another
D．people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
【小题3】In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it”refers to____.
A．being friendly B．a bit of envy C．lucky dog D．your luck
【小题4】When we listen to a person talking , the most important thing for us to do is _______. A．notice the way the person is talking
B．take a good look at the person talking
C．mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D．examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture 【答案】

故选C。

【小题2】C细节题。

根据第二段第二行Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.故选C 。

【小题3】B细节题。

根据第二段第4,5行There’s a bit of envy in those wl【题文】What is the sky ？ Where is it？ How bright is it？ What lies above it？ These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they？
Is the sky blue？ The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.
When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.
And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.
Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.
【小题1】Planes can’t fly very high because ____________.
A．there is air around the world
B．the air gets thinner when they go up higher
C．it’s warmer in the sky
D．the air gets thicker when they go up higher
【小题2】We can see colors of the sky because ____________.
A．the sun rises and falls every day
B．the sky has lots of colors
C．the air scatters the sunlight
D．the sunlight has many colors
【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE？
A．There is little air without light and colors in the sky.
B．The sky will look red, orange and other colors at noon.
C．The sky has only one color when the sun rises and falls.
D．The sky is dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains.
【答案】
【小题1】B
【小题2】C
【小题3】D
【解析】
【小题1】B细节理解题。

文中第一段Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher.飞机不能飞得太高，因为越高空气越稀薄，故选B。

【小题2】C判断推理题。

文章最后一段Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air现在你或许明白我们看到颜色是因为空气散射太阳光，而光线穿过空气。

由此判断我们看到有颜色的天空是因为空气散射的原因，故选C。

【小题3】D判断推理题。

文章第四段but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains.但是当你爬到最高山顶时，天空是深蓝色的，故判断D正确。

Peter lost his friend’s book. He felt very sad. Kate broke her mom’s favorite cup.【小题1】. She was so sorry for her mistake.
We all make mistakes because we are human. And it’s not always easy to get on well with everyone all the time. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings although we don’t do it on purpose(故意的). Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings on purpose,【小题2】. So we apologize(道歉).
An apology tells someone that we’re sorry for our mistakes. It’s a way to show that we’ll try to do better in future.
Apologies are one of the tools to build good friendships and relationships(关系), When you say “I’m sorry”, you probably feel bad because what you did or said hurt another person..【小题3】, you’re also saying that you respect the other person, and care about his or her feelings.

故答案为A。

【小题2】A本题使用转折逻辑关系可得出答案。

由空格的前一句说有时我们故意伤害人们的感情，后文说道歉，可知这里存在一个转折关系。

再结合选项，出现but 的选项带入符合逻辑。

故答案为B。

【小题3】D本题可快速锁定连词also，可知上下文存在相同部分。

前一句是，当你说”对不起”时，你也许因为你的所作所为伤害到其他人感到难受，可推知后一句，当你说”对不起”时，你同样在表达你对另一个人的尊敬。

故答案为D。

【小题4】C本题可利用复现原则。

前句出现”feel... better”，选项中也有feel better，再将选项带入，符合逻辑。

In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. More than 20 million people in cities all over the US took part in. Since then, Earth Day has been used to educate people about their role in taking care of our planet. Now, Earth Day has become a global celebration.

【答案】
Dear Brian,
How time flies! We have been friends for two years. I’m writing to thank you for your help! Two years ago I came to the new school. I had no friends here and often felt lonely. As a result, I didn’t put my heart into my study. I just thought I wouldn’t fit this new environment. Later I began to write to you. We became good pen pals. You encourage me to make more friends and tell me good ways to study English. So my English study has been improved greatly. With your help and encouragement, I become happier. I begin to accept my new classmates and become friends with them. I would like to share my happiness in my letter.
Now great changes have taken place in Yancheng. Welcome to come to my hometown to visit. I’d like to be your guide.
Hope to see you soon.
Yours,
Zhangmin
【解析】这篇作文要求我们以张明的名义给Brian写一封感谢信。

题目中给出了我们信中的具体内容，主要包括三个部分，一是两年前你刚来到学校时的情况；二是两年来和Brian交朋友后，Brian给你的帮助；三是邀请Brian来盐城玩。

我们需要用正确的英语将这些内容表达出来，最后分段来写，这样会使短文有层次，结构清晰。

写作时需要注意，短文的第一部分需要用一般过去时态，因此要注意每句话的谓语动词的形式。

可以适当增加一些内容，使短文更加完整，但要注意增加的内容要符合全文的整体逻辑。

多使用好的句型和短语，使文章的表达流畅完整。

写作亮点：这是一篇优秀的作文，短文中作者按照题目的要求完整的将这封信的内容表达了出来。

短文内容完整，结构清晰。

首先作者写了自己两年前刚来到这个新学校时的情况，I had no friends here and often felt lonely、As a result, I didn’t put my heart into my study；接下来作者写的是和Brian成为朋友后的情况，You encourage me to make more friends and tell me good ways to study English，这一部分中用到的短语和句型有encourage sb. to do sth.、good ways to…, with one’s help等；最后作者向Brian发出邀请，Now great changes have taken place in Yancheng. Welcome to come to my hometown to visit。

全文语言准确，意思连贯。
