第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Mission accomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.
Dekker had wanted to take on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.
She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16th birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.
But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children from attempting such dangerous feats （壮举）. But that didn’t stop Dekker, who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.
Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.
“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record … I did
it just for myself.”
21. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the a ge of 13 because ________.
A. people were concerned about her safety
B. she didn’t learn any sailing skills well
C. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips
D. she had to continue her study at school
22. What does the underline d word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Failed.
B. Completed.
C. Started.
D. Continued.
23. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to ________.
A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors
B. stop children entering Guinness World Records
C. prevent children making dangerous attempts
D. encourage parents to sail with their children
24. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. A New Guinness World Record in Sailing
B. A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors
C. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records
D. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Around the World
B
25. What was lost in campus area according to the LOST AND FOUND ads?
A. A cat.

D. A cassette tape recorder.

A. 800-0436
B. 800-0739
C. 800-4661
D. 800-4964
27. Which of the following ads will you answer if you want a job of taking care of children?
A. LOST AND FOUND
B. ROOMMATES
C. FOR SALE
D. HELP WANTED
C
In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not
interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendship, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
28. According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school.
A. unhappy
B. nervous
C. lonely
D. disappointed
29. Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?
A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.
B. The school clubs in high school mainly welcome sports fans.
C. The school office can help new students join school clubs.
D. Summer activities usually begin before high school starts.
30. When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?
A. Before the eighth grade year starts.
B. Right after the high school year starts.
C. At the beginning of the new term in high school.
D. At the end of the last year in the middle school.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To describe the colorful high school life.
B. To offer advice to new high school students.
C. To share useful experience in high school.
D. To give information on college applications.
D
In Modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how
well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursu it（追求）of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that wound mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（化解）can we discover a new meaning in competition.
32. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up one’s self-respect.
B. People hold different opinions on competition.
C. Competition is harmful to one’s development.
D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.
33. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward.
B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It encourages individual efforts.
34. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with “a desire to fail”?
A. One’s success in competition calls for great efforts.
B. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
C. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
D. One’s success relies largely on his firm belief of winning.
35. Which point of view may the author agree with?
A. Competition damages friendship among people.
B. Performance in competition determines one’s value.
C. Winning should be a matter of life and death.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

One key to ge tting along well with people is knowing when to say you’re sorry. But it’s hard to apologize. 36 . Sometimes we just don’t know how to do it. Here are some tips that may make it easier to say you’re sorry.
37 . The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone. And then it’s important to let the person you hurt know that you didn’t mean to do harm. At the same time, you must show that you take your mistakes seriously. Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.
Show your regret. The other person needs to see that you have suffered, too. 38 . For instance, “I felt bad the minute I told your secret. I’m ashamed of myself.”
Repair the damage. 39 . If you damaged someone’s property, offer to fix it. If the damage isn’t so obvious, ask, “What can I do to make it up to you?”There may be nothing c oncrete（具体的）you can do, but the offer must be sincere: “I’ll try to keep my mouth shut in the future. Meantime, let me buy you a cup of coffee.” Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.
Use good timing. 40 . For example, if you knock into someone, say you’re sorry right away. Don’t wait until the next day to apologize. However, if you have done something more serious, like insulting（侮辱）a friend, your apology should be more thoughtful. A quick apology might seem insincere. Take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.
Rem ember, it’s not about who “won”or “lost”. It’s about keeping a strong friendship.
A.An apology must correct the injury.
B.Take responsibility and explain.
C.Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride.
e straight out and say you are sorry or ashamed.
E.You may know it right away that you have done something hurtful.
F.Apologize right away for little things.
G.Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or defend others.

I have a friend named Monty who owns a horse ranch（牧场）. One day, he told me a story.
“There was a young man who was the son of a horse 41 . His father had to go from their house to ranch, training horses.”
“One day, the boy’s teacher asked the students to 42 a paper about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. That night the boy finished a seven-page paper 43 his dream of owning a horse ranch. He even drew a 44 of a 4,000-square-foot house. But he 45 got a red F on the first page. The boy with the dream asked his teacher, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is a(n) 46 dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of 47 . There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher 48 , ‘If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic dream, I will give you a more realistic 49 .’”
“The boy went home and asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make your own 50 .’”
“Finally, the boy 51 the same paper, making no change at all. He said, ‘You 52 keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
Monty then looked at me and said, “I tell you this story 53 you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.” He continued, “Two summers ago, the 54 teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you th is now. When I was your teacher, I was a dream 55 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. 56 you had not given yours up.’”
Don’t let anyone steal your dream. 57 your heart, no matter what. You can achieve

书面表达：
Dear Tom,
How is everything going?
I’m writing to share with you my unforgettable experience of the sports meeting held last month.
Before the meeting, my teacher and classmates made a detailed plan. We were all very excited to give advice and provide anything needed. At the same time, the athletes made full preparations, running and jumping in their spare time. During t he meeting, the athletes competed fairly on the playground with the other students cheering around. What a great time!
I think our class has become more united after the sports meeting. In addition, the classmates know more about each other and become closer. As a result, we are more hopeful of the colorful school life.
I would appreciate it if you could reply soon.
Truly yours,
Li Hua。
