Ⅱ.阅读理解
The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in educa tion. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it—but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That's up to you.
A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and
individual process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities and to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovery, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.
16．According to the writer, personal discoveries in study ________.
A．will give one encouragement and direction
B．are helpful in finding the right information
C．are the most valuable part of one's personal education
D．will help one to successfully complete school assignments
17．It can be inferred from the passage that writing a research paper gives one chances
________.
A．to fully develop one's personal abilities
B．to practice the skills learnt in the classroom
C．to prove that one is a productive writer
D．to show how well one can accomplish school assignments
18．From the context, the underlined word “encounters”(Para. 1) most probably means
“________”.
A．interests B．experiences
C．entertainments D．abilities
19．What will probably follow this passage?
A．How to write a research paper.
B．The importance of research in education.
C．How to make new discoveries for oneself.
D．The skill of putting pieces of information together.
Ⅲ.阅读表达
Are you worried about your teachers making too many red marks on your homework paper? Don' t feel bad. Sooner or later, those red marks may become a thing of the past.
In Australia, teachers have been asked to stop using a red pen to mark students' work. Education experts say that it can harm students' mental health.
The state government in Queensland, Australia distributed a kit(成套的方案) to about 30 schools this month. The “Good Mental Health Rocks” kit was devised to help teachers to focus on the mental well-being of their students. It offers a list of tips by experts. One of them points out: Don't mark in a red pen( which can be seen as aggressive)—use a different color.
Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day; apologizing to students when necessary, and asking students to make a “personal skills audit” in which they focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
The kit suggests that social and emotional well-being is linked to young people' s schooling, among other things.
The education aid has caused some discussions in the government. Some people think it is not necessary. But Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department devised the kit, said youth suicide was a serious issue.
“If mental health experts determine that teachers should consider those strategies, then I'll support them. ” he said. “It is not a matter for ridicule; this is serious. ”
According to some Australian mental health groups, the largest number of people with mental illness are aged between 18 and 24 years. Fourteen percent of Australian young people suffer from some sort of mental illness.

Ⅰ.1.C考查连词。

分析空前后两个句子的逻辑关系我们知道，空后的内容是条件，因此选in case，意思是“以防”。

句意：把你的钥匙留给你的邻居，以防有一天你把自己锁在外面。

其他三个选项中，as long as也是表示“条件”，但是意思是“只要”；even though引导让步状语从句，意思是“即使”；as if引导方式状语从句，意思是“似乎”。

2．D考查非谓语动词的用法。

and前后连接的两个动名词都是用来作介词by的宾语，是并列结构。

句意：一个人通过犯错和改错来学习一门语言。

3．D考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。

根据前一分句可知所填动词表示过去发生的动作对现在产生的影响，时态用现在完成时，动词表示的动作与主语是被动关系，用被动语态。

主语是large quantities of water，其中心词是quantities，谓语动词用复数，故选D。

4．D考查动词辨析。

earn one's living的意思是“自谋生计”，符合句意“你已经足够成熟了，应该自谋生计了”。

5．A replace 是动词，意为“代替，取代”；take the place of 是动词短语，意为“代替，取代”，而B项缺少of；instead of 和in place of 也有此意，但都是介词短语，而缺少谓语，故选A。

6．D考查动词短语辨析。

bring about意为“带来，引起”；get through意为“接通(电话)”；result from 意为“因……发生”；turn into 意为“变成”。

句意：他的每周家庭聚餐的想法起初似乎实施起来很难，现在已经给他们的生活带来了许多良好的变化。

故D项正确。

7．A考查形容词辨析。

make it clear that… “清楚地阐明……”。

句意为：他尽力向他的父母说清楚他根本不喜欢这份工作。

8．C考查名词辨析。

make a breakthrough表示“取得突破”，为固定搭配。

9．B句意：他妹妹在1998年离开家，自从那时就没有音讯了。

表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时。

10. C the key to doing sth 意为“做某事的关键”，to 为介词，后面接名词、代词或动名词。

congestion charge和introduce 之间是被动关系，故选introduced，相当于which was introduced。

11．A考查动词短语辨析。

clear up解释，把……弄清楚，澄清；clear away收拾，整理；clean up彻底打扫，清理，整顿；clean out把……打扫干净。

12．C考查非谓语动词。

“escape ＋n. /pron. /v. ­ing”表示“逃避，避免做……”，escape being done 表示“避免被……”；fine和主语you 之间是被动关系，故选C。

bring up抚养，教育；bring out 生产，出版，显示出来；bring down 击败，降低，减少；bring in 赚钱，赢利，引进。

14．B考查形容词辨析。

根据语境这里表示“原版的”。

original 最初的，原始的，原版的；staple 主要的；personal 个人的；traditional 传统的。

15．B句意：这位老人在他孙子的搀扶下散步。

support与the old man之间是动宾关系，故用动词的过去分词作状语。
