Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging(荡秋千) from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and___________________The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advis ed. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow(肘). Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung(横档) I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open. One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She just never

We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and searching for that special love. Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect, which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life, so you can share it with others. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others. By doing so, you are enabling(能够有) positive energy and allowing for(考虑到) great situation to occur in your life.
Bringing joy to other people’s lives will help you find joy in your own. In addition, those who you treat well will likely repay you with the same kindness. Gradually, you will start to feel your worth through the smiles of gratitude.
Don’t punish yourself for something you have done in the past. Instead, look at the mistake as a learning experience. Say to yourself now, “I forgive myself for..." Go to look in a
mirror, and say it out loud to yourself. Look at yourself right in the eyes, and speak forgiveness like you mean it. If you do, laugh out loud, realizing that was then and this is now. Every day is a new beginning.
We all want a nice house, nice things, and someone to share our life with. Find your true wants objectively(客观di). Are you eager for power, a religion, or simply a motive? Sometimes, it’s easier to hide the truth from yourself, but figuring out what you really want will help you know yourself better. This will hopefully aid you in answering important questions you often ask yourself.
Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion(自我同情). Compassion is not self-pity, but rather a willingness to accept one’s own pain and regret. Compassion allows us to be present with our pain, so we can acknowledge(承认) it and let it go.
48．What can we conclude from the passage?
A．We must show great respect for others
B．We should love ourselves in order to get love
C．We should overcome any difficulty
D．We must have mercy on everyone
49．According to the passage, most people .
A．have a dependable way to create love in their lives
B．keep their self-respect hidden in their hearts
C．are longing to get love from family or friends
D．are waiting for chances to give love to others
50．When you realize you have made a mistake, .
A．you should blame yourself for what you have done
B．you should find a way to bring joy to others
C．you should face a mirror for a long time
D．you should learn a lesson from your mistake
51．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To show how smartly he can love himself
B．To give advice on how to love ourselves
C．To warn us not to be lost in self-pity
D．To express a special love for the readers
Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (界面) (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.
In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
52．BCI is a technology that can _________________.
A．help to update computer systems
B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover
D．control a person's thoughts
53．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A．By controlling his muscles.
B．By talking to the machine.
C．By moving his hand.
D．By using his mind.
54．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5? A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
55．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
B．New Findings about How the Human Brain Works
C．Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
四、七选五
According to statistics published by the University of Scranton, about 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year’s resolutions（决心）—— and the most popular resolution is losing weight. Of those who make resolutions, a mere 8 percent achieve them.
56． Are we just setting ourselves up for failure? Learn how to make realistic resolutions and how to overcome the roadblocks along the way.
Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn’t a goal that’s achievable now. It may be a good long-term goal. 57．Registered dietitian Elisa Zied says “To be real when you make a resolution. It’s okay to shoot for the stars like makin g a resolution, but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?”
The same concept applies to weight loss. 58． These goals should help develop healthy habits that will finally help achieve your long-term resolution.
Notice that these goals are simple and ac hievable. “Instead of going from zero to 60, from never going to the gym to going four to five times a week, why not start with three days a week, get consistent and build from there,” Zied says. Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active. 59．
You also need to be aware of your current exercise and eating habits to make achievable goals. Keeping a diary of your food and exercise habits can help. Record everything you eat
and drink for three to five days and review it.60． For example, if you notice a tendency to snack on unhealthy fare, set a goal to eat a fruit or vegetable with each snack. Building on these smaller goals over time can help you achieve your long-term goal.
A．So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?
B．Once you notice your not-so-good habits, start fixing them.
C．Set one to three weekly goals that you want to achieve.
D．Resolutions usually involve a commitment to sticking to your goals.
E.However, in order to reach it, you need to take baby steps to get it down.
F.If you treat your goals like set appointment, you’re more likely to achieve them.
G.Losing weight, as well as getting a better job, is among the most popular resolutions for adults.

My good friend Tom and I were in charge of the third year students,63．(consist) of just 18 boys and girls. We not only taught them English and maths, but also organized some after-school64．(activity) for them. Gradually, I found that many of the students were actually quite 665．(talent). But some had to leave school early, which
is66．(large) because their families were under heavy financial pressure, and they had to find a job to support the family.
As well as giving lessons, we also helped set up a reading room in the school67．students hardly had any access68．good reading materials except textbooks. With the help of school staff and students, we cleaned out an abandoned classroom. When we placed the books students and teachers in my high school69．(donate) onto the shelves, I found the students were more than excited and70．(dive) into reading there.
Two weeks quickly passed and we had to leave. I did not know how much we had actually taught them, but for me I learned a great deal—cherish what I possess and study harder.

注意： 1、可适当增加细节, 使内容充实, 行文连贯。

2、词数100左右；开头已给出, 不计入总词数。

参考答案
1．A
【解析】
试题分析：考查动词短语。

短语apply for sth申请得到某物；take sth into consideration考虑sth；句意：在他考虑了所有事情以后，他决定申请这个新职位。

根据句意可知A项两个动词搭配符合上下文。

考点：考查动词短语
2．C
【解析】
考查suggest用法。

Suggest doing sth建议做某事；suggest sth to sb向某人建议某事；本题的关键词是横线后面的to,说明这里的visit是名词，形成短语pay a visit to some place参观某个地方。

BD正是错再这一点上。

故C正确。

3．C
【解析】
试题分析：考查语态和固定搭配。

动词wash和副词连用表示主语的特点时，用主动语态表示被动含义；本句中“wash well”表示“这种衣服好洗”。

形容词短语sth be worthy of being done/be worthy to be done值得做某事；句意：由这种布料做成的外套很好洗。

我认为值得购买。

故C正确。

考点：考查语态和固定搭配
4．B
【解析】
试题分析：考查动词和定语从句。

动词concern关心；favor支持，偏爱；care about 关心；find发现；当those作为先行词，指人的时候，定语从句中使用关系代词who。

句意：运气青睐那些有准备的人。

根据句意可知B正确。

考点：考查动词和定语从句
5．D
【解析】
试题分析：考查不定式用法。

句式sb be believed to do sth人们认为某人做某事；如果表示被动，要使用不定式的被动式to be done，本句中流感由病毒导致，所以使用不定式的被动式to be done。

句意：人们认为这次的流感是由病毒导致的，这种病毒喜欢在人类的鼻子和喉
咙里繁衍。

故D正确。

考点：考查不定式用法
6．D
【解析】
试题分析：考查倍数表达法。

句式A be + 倍数+ as...原级形容词...as B意为“A是B的....倍”；句意：据报道美国使用的能源是整个欧洲的两倍多。

ABC三项的结构都是错误的。

【名师点睛】
本题考查倍数表达，倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点之一，也是历届高考的热点。

当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常用句型来表示：
1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词比较级+than+B”，表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长（比那根绳子长一倍）。

2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。

如：
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。

3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width，etc+of+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。

如：
This street is four times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的四倍长。

4. “……times+what+从句”。

如：
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 现在的产量比十年前增加了两倍。

考点：考查倍数表达法
7．C
【解析】
试题分析：考查分词做状语。

动词annoy与主语she构成被动关系，且表示已经完成的事情，所以使用现在分词的完成被动式having been done做状语，强调已经完成；而过去分词done 更多强调被动关系。

【名师点睛】
能做状语的非谓语动词是：动词不定式和分词。

动词不定式可以做目的状语，原因状语和结果状语；分词可以做时间状语，原因状语，条件状语，让步状语，结果状语，方式状语或伴随状语。

下面我以高考题为例讲解分词做状语的用法。

分词做状语这个考点我划分为五种：考主动被动，考时态，考过去分词形容词化，考独立结构和考分词和连词连用。

一，主动被动：分词做状语应首先考虑主动被动，就是分词与句子主语之间是主动就选现在分词，是被动就选过去分词。

_______travel，have you been to Beijing?
A Talked
B Talking of
C Talked about
D Talking about
此题分词talk与you之间是主动关系，人谈论旅行，所以排除AC. talk of指说起，而talk about 指谈论细节。

所以选B
_______more attention, the trees could have grown better.
A. Given
B. To give
C. Giving
D. Having given
此题分词give与trees之间是被动关系，树被人多注意照顾。

所以选A
二，时态：一般来说分词做状语就用一般式，但是如果分词这个动作在句子的谓语动作之前发生，须用分词完成时态。

___around Tianan Square,the tourists were taken to visit the Palace Museum. A Having shown B They were shown C Having been shown D Being shown
此题分词show与tourists之间是被动关系,show sb around 并且分词这个动作在句子的谓语动作之前发生，所以选C
___from heart trouble for years, professor White has to take some medicine with him wherever he goes.
A. Suffered
B. Suffering
C. Having suffered
D. Being suffering
此题分词suffer与professor White,之间是主动关系, 并且分词suffer动作在句子的谓语动作take之前发生，所以选C
三，过去分词形容词化：有些过去分词并不表示和主语之间是被动，它们已经形容词化了，表状态。

She was reading a story, completely ___to the outside world. A being lost B having lost C losing D lost
此题分词lose与she之间常构成sb be lost in表示人沉醉于某事，并不表被动
___about their table manners, the guests decided to do everything that president did.
A. Worried
B. Worrying
C. Having worried
D. Having been worried
此题分词worry与guests之间常构成sb be worried about sth,, 并不表被动,也没动作先后。

所
以选A
常用的过去分词已形容词化的有：moved satisfied surprised interested worried pleased disappointed
四，独立结构：分词与主语之间或是主动或是被动，但有时它们之间根本就没有任何关系，这时须在分词前加上自己的主语，这就是独立结构。

_____,the fields are full of life.
Acoming B Comed C Spring comes D Spring coming
此题分词come与the fields之间不是主动也不是被动，它们之间根本就没有任何关系，这时须在分词come前加上自己的主语spring，这就是独立结构。

所以选D
_____, the lecture was put off.
A The teacher ill
B The teacher being ill
C Being ill
D As the teacher ill
此题分词be ill与lecture之间不是主动也不是被动，没有任何关系，生病的是teacher,所以要加在分词being ill之前。

所以选B
五，连词连用：分词做状语常和某些连词连用，表示分词是做什么状语。

_______the money, his parents managed to send him to university.
A Though lacked
B Though lacking of
C Though lacking
D Though lacked of
此题分词lack与his parents之间是主动关系，排除AD。

动词lack是及物动词，所以选C。

有though表明这是个让步状语从句。

____this film can never been forgotten.
A Once seeing
B once having seen
C Once seen
D Once to see
此题分词see与this film之间是被动关系，排除ABD。

Once表明这是个条件状语从句。

常见的和分词连用的连词有When if though although once unless等等。

8．B
【解析】
试题分析：考查动词set的短语。

短语set off引起，使...发生；引爆；set about开始，出发；set out to do sth开始做某事；set up建立，成立；本句中动词短语“set about doing sth”意为“开始做某事”，句意：地震以后，人们开始重建家园。

故B正确。

考点：考查动词短语
9．B
【解析】
考查分词做状语。

He与stop构成主动关系，使用现在分词的形式。

句意：他忙于做试卷，只是偶尔停下来核对一下时间。

10．A
【解析】
试题分析：考查句子结构。

本题属于陷阱题，考生容易被“look forward to期待”中的介词to 所干扰，认为后面要接动名词doing做宾语。

实际上定语从句we have been looking forward to 修饰先行词the sports meeting，动词come才是真正的谓语动词，因为主语是单数形式，所以使用第三人称单数comes。

句意：我们一直期待的运动会终于要来了。

故A正确。

考点：考查句子结构
11．B
【解析】
试题分析：考查动名词。

在英语中介词的后面通常接动名词或名词做宾语，所以本句使用动名词作为without的宾语，根据句意可知使用被动形式being noticed。

句意：没有被人看到，那个小偷进入了房间。

故B项正确。

试题分析：考查all短语。

短语above all首先，最重要的是；in all共计；after all终究，别忘了；at all通常和否定词not连用构成“not at all一点也不”。

句意：我想买一栋房子，现代、舒适，最重要的是要在一个安静的街区里。

根据句意表示强调，故“above all”符合句意。

【解析】
试题分析：考查分词做状语。

动词短语expose sth to sth把....暴露在....中；本句中

试题分析：考查倒装句。

当副词out，here，there等放在句首，主语是名词时，要使用全部
倒装。

如果主语是代词，则不要全部倒装。

句意：看，一个女孩跑开了。

本句副词away放在句首，主语是名词a girl，所以要使用全部倒装。

故C正确。

【名师点睛】
全部倒装是指将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前.此结构通常只用与一般现在时和一般过去时.常见的结构有：
1.here,there,now,then,thus等副词置于句首,谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run.例如：
1) There goes the bell.铃声渐渐消失了.
2) Then came the chairman.然后主席就来了
3) Here is your letter.这是你的信.
2.表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词.例如：
1) Out rushed a missile from under the bomber.轰炸机下面发出了一颗导弹.
2) Ahead sat an old woman.
注意：上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语必须是名词,如果主语是人称代词则不能完全倒装.例如：
1) Here he comes.他来了.
2) Away they went.他们走了.

句意：我们期待着被解决的交通问题不应该引起地方政府的关注。

故B项正确。
