When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi‟s idea of non-violent resistance(非暴力抵抗). Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy)from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil rights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law(民权法) to guarantee（保证）equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream” before the Lincoln Memorial. The “dream” is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a holiday in Luther King‟s honor. He lives in people‟s hearts forever.23.

How to Award the Nobel Prize.C. Civil Rights MovementD. Civil Rights LawBHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin （起源）of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined （结合的）to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations(联系)---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style（文体）. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can give his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We shouldtherefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and boring.26. The origin language is _________.A. a legend (传说)from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or a secretC. an easy question to answerD. something which is not yet known by people27. What is true about words? ___________A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They cannot be written down.C. They are sounds which can express thought ,feelings, actions and things,D.

It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow around the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and watched. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time made a long, loud cry. The awful cry can be heard across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost sure it was a sign to be death.Every moment I expected to see the wolves run at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend(假装) I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false(假的)courage intimidated them and kept them back.29. Wh y didn‟t the wolves at tack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B. The man was already known to the wolves.C. They were too far away to catch the man.D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.30.

To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.C. To make people aware of the danger of wolves.D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.DTatyana McFadden was born in 1989 in Russia, with an illness that caused her not to be able to move half of her body. She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana‟s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one of the able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,” Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, …That‟s my mother,‟which she had never done before.”Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girl back to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.As the team‟s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.Tatyana says, “I don‟t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”32. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.A. lived in a poor villageB. couldn‟t read any booksC. walked on her hands and armsD. couldn‟t communicate with others33. Why did Deborah decide to adopt Tatyana?A. Because of Tatyana‟s story.B. Because she was interested in Tatyana.C. Because of other‟s suggestion.D. Because Tatyana did well in almost anything.34. What did Tatyana do after she was adopted?A. She took up different sports.B. She bought herself the first wheelchair.C. She went to see a doctor from time to time.D. She trained hard to be a member of the school team.35. From the passage, we can know Tatyana is a(n) ____________ girl.A. honestB. kind-heartedC. understandingD. strong-minded四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Happiness is a state of mind and its meaning and value differ from person to person. However, one thing that everyone agrees upon is that happiness is an invaluable gift of life.Happiness means different things to different people. For some, happiness lies in material wealth(物质财富)--- the more money they have, the happier they are. For some, happiness has no relation with material wealth; happiness for them lies in inner truth and satisfaction.Happiness is like a magic wand(魔棒) that helps you to effectively face all difficulties in life. It teaches you the power of positivity(乐观) and the meaning of life. We are often likely to neglect(忽略) the importance of happiness in our life. We perform our daily activities and end up leading a life like a robot, often neglecting happiness and its value.Whatever you do in life, one should always aim to achieve happiness. To live life to the fullest, one needs to understand what happiness is and how one can achieve it. Do things that give you happiness and peace of mind. Happiness is not hard to achieve. You just need to spend some time with yourself, understand your inner feelings and thoughts, and find ways that can help you stay happy and healthy.A happy mind is the way to a healthy and meaningful life. Thus, one should understand the true value of happiness in one‟s life so that one can live life, not justlive to live.五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。

2015年江苏省常州市中考英语试卷-答案

江苏省常州市2015年中考英语试卷英语答案解析一、单项选择1.【答案】C【解析】句意：你的家乡真的很好！空气质量和三亚一样好。

it是代指上文提及的同一个东西；that，那个；one是泛指；the one是特指；根据句中信息，“as good as”的后面应该用代词that，指代air quality。

2.【答案】D【解析】句意：谁将给我们作有关公共礼仪的演讲？可能是布朗先生，但是我不确定。

can能，会，need需要，must必须，一定，might可能。

根据but I'm not sure。

可知在这里表示一种推测，可能是布朗先生，但这种推测可能性不是很大。

3.【答案】D【解析】句意：你想现在和我去参观动物园吗？对不起。

现在过了参观时间。

让我们明天去那里。

on+天（一天的上午、下午、晚上）；over在…之上、超过等；during在…期间；beyond超过；越过；那一边，根据It's_____ the visiting hours，Let's go there tomorrow是在参观期间，让我们明天去那里吧，说明现在不行，去动物园不属于现在参观的范围。

4.【答案】B【解析】句意：你不觉得一些青少年着迷于流行明星很愚蠢吗？嗯，我不这么认为。

我们曾经年轻过，有相似的经历。

creative有创造性的；silly愚蠢的；wise明智的；curious好奇的。

根据问句的句式结构，可知是一个反问句，表达的是肯定的语气；再根据答语I don't think so，不认同说话者的观点，认为我们在年轻时都有过类似的追星的行为。

结合语境我们可以推知这里需要填入的词应是一个贬义的形容词。

综合以上解析，结合选项只有silly有此意义。

5.【答案】B【解析】你能告诉我做如此美味蛋糕的方法吗？好吧，我就是按照烹饪书上的说明做的。

time，时间；method，方法；cost，花费；menu，菜单；菜，菜肴；根据句中信息“making such tasty cakes”和“follow the instructions in the cookbook”可知，该空应该填“方法，method”。

2015年常州市中考英语试卷分析(1)

3、试题给教学的启示：
1）动词是英语学习中的重中之重，其形式要随着句意及时间的变化而变化，应把动词作为英语教学中的重点。 2）在动词教学中，要考虑到其形式的变化教学，把动词渗透到句子，语境和语篇中教学。 3）平时加强专项训练，渗透技巧指导，指导学生在读题时做到瞻前顾后、左顾右盼、抓住句子的关键词，充分考虑到句子的前后语境、习惯搭配及句子结构，才能决定动词的正确形式。
（六）动词填空：
1、试题特点：
难度中上，体现能力
1）英语中的动词是学生学习的重点和难点。该项考查的是动词时态、语态、非谓语动词的综合运用。 2）这类题在语境或情景对话中考查学生动词的灵活运用能力。 2、考查点：
题号测试点 49 现在完成时 50 51 52 过去进行时 53 过去时被动语态一般将来不定式时
（三）阅读理解：富有深度，难易交融
1、材料特点：
1）阅读文章较长: 阅读材料图文并茂，每篇文章均在 300词以上，加上问题与选项，每篇词数均达上400。这样大大增加阅读量，阅读速度要求提高。这是近年来阅读材料选择的新走向。 2）体裁题材丰富: A B 说明文说明文寓言故事新闻类 C 记叙文故事类 D 说明文科普类
（六）动词填空：3、主要难 Nhomakorabea：难度中上，体现能力
学生对于长句（如主从句、定语从句等）缺乏独立的思考和理解；对语境缺乏感知、分析和判断能力。 50. --Have you handed in your project? --No. I ___________ (check) it again right away. 50.【答案】will check 【解析】虽然问句是现在完成时，但是答句中后半句right away表明事情还没有做，所以用一般将来时。 51. That is the only way we can imagine _____ (reduce) the waste of water in the bathroom. 51.【答案】to reduce 【解析】本题把定语从句放入题目中混淆学生的判断。We can imagine是用来修饰the only way的，后面reduce the waste作目的状语，所以用to do 表目的。

2015年常州市中考英语试卷分析

2015年常州市中考英语试卷分析单项选择1.Yourhometownisreallynice!Theairqualityisasgoodas______ofSanya.A.itB.oneC.thatD.theone【答案】C【解析】本题考查的是代词。

题目的意思是“空气质量和三亚的一样好”，所以这边的代词应该代指airquality,代指不可数名词用that。

it是代指上文提及的同一个东西，one是泛指，theone是特指。

2.--Whowillgiveusthespeechonpublicmanners?--Mr.Brown___________,butI'mnotsure.A.canB.needC.mustD.might【答案】D【解析】本题考查的是情态动词。

根据语境和I’mnotsure可知，Mr.Brown可能知道谁给大家做关于公共礼仪的演讲，表示可能性但又不是很确定用might。

3.--Wouldyouliketovisitthezoowithmenow?--Sorry.It's_________thevisitinghours.Let'sgotheretomorrow.A.onB.overC.duringD.beyond【答案】D【解析】本题考查的是时间介词的用法。

根据语境，sorry表示不能去动物园，因为不在拜访时间内。

学生容易把over和beyond搞混了，over是指空间上的超过，beyond可以指时间上的超过，所以本题选D。

4.--Don'tyouthinkit______ofsometeenagerstobecrazyaboutpopstars?--Well,Idon'tthinkso.Wewereonceyoungandhadthesimilarexperiences.A.creativeB.sillyC.wiseD.curious【答案】B【解析】本题考查的是形容词的辨析。

But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false(假的)courage intimidated them and kept them back.29. Wh y didn’t the wolves attack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B.

She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana’s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one ofthe able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,”Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, ‘That’s my mother,’ which she had never done before.”Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girl back to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.As the team’s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.Tatyana says, “I don’t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”32. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.A. lived in a poor villageB. couldn’t read any booksC. walked on her hands and armsD. couldn’t communicate with others33.

From the passage, we can know Tatyana is a(n) ____________ girl.A. honestB. kind-heartedC. understandingD. strong-minded四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Happiness is a state of mind and its meaning and value differ from person to person. However, one thing that everyone agrees upon is that happiness is an invaluable gift of life.Happiness means different things to different people. For some, happiness lies in material wealth(物质财富)--- the more money they have, the happier they are. For some, happiness has no relation with material wealth; happiness for them lies in inner truth and satisfaction.Happiness is like a magic wand(魔棒) that helps you to effectively face all difficulties in life. Itteaches you the power of positivity(乐观) and the meaning of life. We are often likely to neglect(忽略) the importance of happiness in our life. We perform our daily activities and end up leading a life like a robot, often neglecting happiness and its value.Whatever you do in life, one should always aim to achieve happiness. To live life to the fullest, one needs to understand what happiness is and how one can achieve it. Do things that give you happiness and peace of mind. Happiness is not hard to achieve. You just need to spend some time with yourself, understand your inner feelings and thoughts, and find ways that can help you stay happy and healthy.A happy mind is the way to a healthy and meaningful life. Thus, one should understand the true value of happiness in one’s life so that one can live life, not just live to live.五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。

2015年江苏省常州市中考英语试题及标准答案

江苏省常州市20１5年中考英语试卷单项选择1. Yｏur hoｍe toｗn is rｅａlly nice！The ａirｑualｉty is as goｏd aｓ_＿＿＿__ ｏf Ｓanya.A. itB. ｏnｅC.ｔhaｔD．the onｅ【答案】C【解析】本题考查的是代词。

题目的意思是“空气质量和三亚的一样好”，所以这边的代词应该代指ａir qｕaｌity，代指不可数名词用that。

it是代指上文提及的同一个东西,oｎe 是泛指，theｏne是特指。

2．-－Whｏwill gｉve us tｈｅsｐｅecｈonｐuｂlｉｃmanｎers?-－Mr. Browｎ＿_＿__＿__＿__, bｕｔＩ'ｍnｏt ｓure.Ａ.can Ｂ. ｎeｅdＣ.ｍusｔ D. ｍight 【答案】Ｄ【解析】本题考查的是情态动词。

根据语境和I’ｍnot sure可知，Ｍr. Brｏwn可能知道谁给大家做关于公共礼仪的演讲，表示可能性但又不是很确定用mｉgｈt。

3. －-Woｕld you liｋe to vｉｓit ｔhe ｚoｏｗｉthｍｅnow？--Sorｒy. It's _______＿_the viｓiting houｒs．Lｅt's gｏthere tomorroｗ．A. oｎB. ｏver Ｃ．ｄｕriｎg D.bｅyo ｎｄ【答案】D【解析】本题考查的是时间介词的用法。

根据语境,sorry表示不能去动物园，因为不在拜访时间内。

学生容易把over和beｙond搞混了，over是指空间上的超过，ｂeyond可以指时间上的超过，所以本题选D。

4. --Don'tｙｏu tｈｉnk iｔ___＿＿_ ｏfｓome teenａgers tｏbe crazｙaboｕt pop stars?--Ｗeｌｌ, I don't ｔhink ｓo. Wｅwere once ｙoｕng anｄhad thｅsｉmilａr eｘperiences.A．cｒeatｉｖe B. sｉｌｌy C．wise Ｄ. cu ｒｉｏus【答案】B【解析】本题考查的是形容词的辨析。

Last fall a beaver moved into the small stream beside our house．He began taking down small trees right away．and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond（水塘）．Every day, he added more to his dam（水坝）and to his house．We're sure you've all heard the saying, "as busy as a beaver"．Now, we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very short period of time．We thought that would be the last of the beaver's busy activity as winter came．To our amazement, however, he started chewing（咀嚼）on a very large tree．The tree was over 18meters tall and around 1.5meters in diameter（直径）．We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying．All winter, he chewed and chewed．He had setbacks（挫折）as we faced major winter storms and ice﹣cold weather．But sure enough, when the weather allowed, he would come back and chew a bit more．The beaver's first goal（目标）was to survive﹣﹣to build．home for the winter．Working every day with that goal in mind, he successfully achieved that goal．But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal一he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches（树枝）for the coming spring．Even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up until he reached it．Our beaver's experience reminds us that we need to set goals for tomorrow．Sometimes just surviving seems to take up all of our time．But, if you do just a little bit when time allows and stick to your future goal, you will achieve it．When faced with setbacks, have your goal in heart and don't let the setbacks stop you．Keep chewing like the beaver, and you will achieve your goal in the end．（1）What is the purpose of the beaver's chewing on the large tree？________．A To provide more food for the winter because of the snow．B To add more branches to his dam and his house．C To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring．D To keep working every day with a goal in mind．（2）Here is．paragraph（段）"When spring arrived，we went down to see the beaver's progress．The tree was about to fall．Our beaver had almost completely chewed around and through the whole tree．"According to the passage，it should be put________．A between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2．B between paragraph 2and paragraph 3．C between paragraph 3and paragraph 4．D between paragraph 4and paragraph 5．（3）The best title of this passage might be________．A Keep Chewing ．B Be Like the Beaver．C As Busy as a Beaver ．D Set Proper Goals．13. Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit．So if you're having a bad day and need a ________, then help is just a click away．A website is trying to offer people positive（积极的）messages from strangers to cheer them up．It announces to be"the nicest place on the Internet", where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits．The website, the nicest place on the internet, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors'spirits．The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low．The well﹣known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days．"We tried to become cheerful, but none of the usual methods seemed to be working．Not music．Not food．What we hoped was something positive, honest and good．So with only a camera and work﹣free weekend, we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet, "he explained on his website．One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said, "it's a fun andexciting website．I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family．I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad．It may even stop them from doing something stupid．You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series．It's very easy to share the love．"Mr．Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers．The idea is that strangers send an audio（声音）diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it．（1）The underlined word"boost"in paragraph 1 probably means________．A 鼓舞 B． C 休闲 D．（2）The website was created in order to________．A provide a place for those who want to post their videos．B discover something positive，honest and good．C recommend positive voicemails on the website to people．D offer something positive to cheer people up．（3）According to the text，which of the following is TRUE？________．A Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries．B Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website．C Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it．D Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers．14. I was just out of college, only three days into a graduate （研究生）year in England, and I was pulling a heavy bag and suitcase（箱子）through the London Underground．I was also crying out of control．The day before yesterday, my uncle told me never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again．Earlier, I made a joke．I didn't mean to hurt my aunt's feelings, but it did．Ispent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth （电话亭）．crying as I spoke to a family friend who lived in England．When I left the phone booth, I went back to a silent house with three closed bedroom doors．In the morning, I heard everyone get up and leave for work and school．I wrote a note to say sorry and pulled my bags to the train station．When I got into London, I had to take the underground to Angel Station to get to my family friend's house．I was familiar with the underground, but at the time, it was just endless white tiles（瓷砖）．Coming to England seemed like a bad decision．Crying yet again, I tried to lift my suitcase up the stairs．When I was trying hard to walk forward, there were hands．Each time I faced another group of steps, a hand would lift the suitcase．At the top of the steps, the hand would letgo, and I'd pull the suitcase to the next group．And just as I wanted to try again, another hand would appear．It happened several times．I never looked up, because I couldn't stop crying．Each hand looked different, and many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything．I couldn't look up．I wasn't able to say thank you．I went on to have an amazing year studying in England, but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle's family．Yet when I think about ________in 2008, I remember those strangers'hands．They were there when I needed them, and even now, they help me out of the sadness of that memory．I think of them as I ride the underground in Washington D．C．today, and I watch the citizens and tourists to offer hands at any time．（1）What was the writer's feeling while she was walking in the station？________．A She felt sad and helpless at first，but might feel warm later．B She was looking forward to getting help from friends．C She expected to leave London and go back home．D She regretted making the joke，but was angry with her uncle．（2）In the last paragraph，the underlined words"that terrible loss"probably mean________．A I was crying when I took the underground in London． B I left my uncle's family and haven't contacted them since then． C I didn't say thank you to those who gave hands to me． D I lost my good mood and felt sad when I left my uncle's family．（3）What is the passage mainly about？________．A It tells us a story about an unlucky and homeless college student．B It．C It expresses the idea of giving hands to strangers who are in need．D It shows the helping hands that writer got from strangers．15. Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not．But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so﹣called"Internet of things"is developing．The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think．It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO（首席执行官）BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things．He said that five years from now, every Samsung product willbe part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）．So, how do household（家用）objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair．When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold．An Internet﹣connected camera, like a smart﹣home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes．It can recognize（识别）people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark．Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there．If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too．But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security（安全）systems to the Internet, there may be problems．For example, many early connected﹣home devices（装置）don't have much built﹣in security, which means they could be hacked（被黑客攻击）, In addition, it could be difficult to getthese devices to work together because they are made by different companies．To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had45members by late 2014．So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home．The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school．Your favorite music starts playing for you．Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think．（1）The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that________．A the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner．B Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently．C Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things．D he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things．（2）We can infer（推断）from paragraphs 3and 4that________．A the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not．B a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in．C an Internet﹣connected camera can be used to take photos in the house．D an Internet﹣connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone．（3）According to the passage，it is mentioned that________•①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low②yo ur fridge provides the drinks for you③the chair warms up if you feel cold④your favourite music starts playing⑤your washing machine starts workingA ①②⑤B． C ①③④D．（4）What's the problem about the Internet of things？________．A Companies which produce connected﹣home devices haven't joinedtogether． B Connected﹣home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked． C Companies have difficulty connecting security system to theInternet． D These new devices are produced by different companies．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）16. 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active，but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan，it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise．First，try to know what kind of person you are．Especially，are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning，or a night owl（猫头鹰）who almost never goes to bed before midnight？Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are，you will understand better when your body needs exercise，either early in the morning，sometime during the day，or later on in the evening．Second，consider your daily plan．When do you seem to be most busy，and when do you plan your most important tasks？Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible，so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected（影响）as well．Third，think about when you feel you have the most energy．For most people，that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest，or after a long day of work．After a busy or much stressful day，exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work．Lastly，find out the place you plan to do exercise．Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment（设备），but if there is a gym（健身房）down the street or along the way home from work，it will make it more suitable for you to exercise．More importantly，you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week．If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction，make it a habit．And once you have set up your fitness plan，don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to．五、词汇、A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词.17.

Last week，we held a discussion about whether Music and Art should enter the Entrance Examination for the High School．Students have different opinions．Some says that Music and Art should enter the Entrance Examination for the High School．They think we should pay attention to art study and it can developstudents'skills．So they will be happier and have a better life in the future．Others disagree．They think we have too many subjects to study for the exams and we are much too tired．If Music and Art enter the Entrance Examination for the High School，there will be more things to do and we have to put into more energy．As a result，we will be more tired and stressed out，our other subjects will be influenced．In my opinion，Music and Art can enter the Entrance Examination for the High School．But only the students who are interested in music and art can have the exam rather than all of us．They we can go into different senior school to study．。

fall a beaver moved into the small stream beside our house．He began taking down small trees right away．and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond（水塘）．Every day，he added more to his dam（水坝）and to his house．We're sure you've all heard the saying，"as busy as a beaver"．Now，we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very short period of time．We thought that would be the last of the beaver's busy activity as winter came．To our amazement，however，he started chewing（咀嚼）on a very large tree．The tree was over 18meters tall and around 1.5meters in diameter（直径）．We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying．All winter，he chewed and chewed．He had setbacks（挫折）as we faced major winter storms and ice﹣cold weather．But sureenough，when the weather allowed，he would come back and chew a bit more．The beaver's first goal（目标）was to survive﹣﹣to build．home for the winter．Working every day with that goal in mind，he successfully achieved that goal．But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal一he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches（树枝）for the coming spring．Even with the setbacks he faced over the winter，he never gave up until he reached it．Our beaver's experience reminds us that we need to set goals for tomorrow．Sometimes just surviving seems to take up all of our time．But，if you do just a little bit when time allows and stick to your future goal，you will achieve it．When faced with setbacks，have your goal in heart and don't let the setbacks stop you．Keep chewing like the beaver，and you will achieve your goal in the end．23．What is the purpose of the beaver's chewing on the large tree？．A．To provide more food for the winter because of the snow．B．To add more branches to his dam and his houseC．To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring．D．To keep working every day with a goal in mind．24．Here is．paragraph（段）"When spring arrived，we went down to see the beaver's progress．The tree was about to fall．Our beaver had almost completely chewed around and through the whole tree．"According to the passage，it should be put．A．between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2B．between paragraph 2and paragraph 3C．between paragraph 3and paragraph 4D．between paragraph 4and paragraph 525．The best title of this passage might be．A．Keep ChewingB．Be Like the BeaverC．As Busy as a BeaverD．Set Proper Goals．13．（6分）Sometimes，you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit．So if you're having a bad day and need a boost，then help is just a clickaway．A website is trying to offer people positive（积极的）messages from strangers to cheer them up．It announces to be"the nicest place on the Internet"，where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits．The website，the nicest place on the internet，lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors'spirits．The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low．The well﹣known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days．"We tried to become cheerful，but none of the usual methods seemed to be working．Not music．Not food．What we hoped was something positive，honest and good．So with only a camera and work﹣free weekend，we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet，"he explained on his website．One user of the site，Joseph Meehan，27，from Birmingham，said，"it's a fun and exciting website．I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family．I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad．It may even stop them from doing something stupid．You can also post your video to the website，and they add it to the series．It's very easy to share the love．" Mr．Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers．The idea is that strangers send an audio（声音）diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it．26．The underlined word"boost"in paragraph 1 probably means．A．鼓舞B．放松C．休闲D．提高27．The website was created in order to．A．provide a place for those who want to post their videosB．discover something positive，honest and goodC．recommend positive voicemails on the website to peopleD．offer something positive to cheer people up28．According to the text，which of the following is TRUE？．A．Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries．B．Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website．C．Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it．D．Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers．14．（6分）I was just out of college，only three days into a graduate （研究生）year in England，and I was pulling a heavy bag and suitcase（箱子）through the London Underground．I was also crying out of control．The day before yesterday，my uncle told me never to speak to him，his wife，or my two cousins again．Earlier，I made a joke．I didn't mean to hurt my aunt's feelings，but it did．I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth （电话亭）．crying as I spoke to a family friend who lived in England．When I left the phone booth，I went back to a silent house with three closed bedroom doors．In the morning，I heard everyone get up and leave for work and school．I wrote a note to say sorry and pulled my bags to the train station．When I got into London，I had to take the underground to Angel Station to get to my family friend's house．I was familiar with the underground，but at the time，it was just endless white tiles （瓷砖）．Coming to England seemed like a bad decision．Crying yet again，I tried to lift my suitcase up the stairs．When I was trying hard to walk forward，there were hands．Each time I faced another group of steps，a hand would lift the suitcase．At the top of the steps，the hand would let go，and I'd pull the suitcase to the next group．And just as I wanted to try again，another hand would appear．It happened several times．I never looked up，because I couldn't stop crying．Each hand looked different，and many different people helped me，without asking or saying anything．I couldn't look up．I wasn't able to say thank you．I went on to have an amazing year studying in England，but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle's family．Yet when I think about that terrible lossin 2008，I remember those strangers'hands．They were there when I needed them，and even now，they help me out of the sadness of that memory．I think of them as I ride the underground in Washington D．C．today，and I watch the citizens and tourists to offer hands at any time．29．What was the writer's feeling while she was walking in the station？．A．She felt sad and helpless at first，but might feel warm later．B．She was looking forward to getting help from friends．C．She expected to leave London and go back homeD．She regretted making the joke，but was angry with her uncle．30．In the last paragraph，the underlined words"that terrible loss"probably mean．A．I was crying when I took the underground in LondonB．I left my uncle's family and haven't contacted them since thenC．I didn't say thank you to those who gave hands to meD．I lost my good mood and felt sad when I left my uncle's family31．What is the passage mainly about？．A．It tells us a story about an unlucky and homeless college student．B．It．describes the writer's experience through the underground．C．It expresses the idea of giving hands to strangers who are in need．D．It shows the helping hands that writer got from strangers．15．（8分）Is your TV connected to the Internet？What about your chair or your fridge？It is possible that they are not．But in the future，most things in your home may be connected，as the so﹣called"Internet of things"is developing．The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think．It is reported that during his speech earlier this year，Samsung CEO（首席执行官）BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things．He said that five years from now，every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things，whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）．So，how do household（家用）objects that are part of Internet of things work？Well，think of a usual chair．When connected to the Internet，the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold．An Internet﹣connected camera，like a smart﹣home camera，could help people feel safer in their homes．It can recognize（识别）people's faces，and even can see when someone passes by in the dark．Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there．If the person is someone you don't know，it can tell you that，too．But according to MIT Technology Review，whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security（安全）systems to the Internet，there may be problems．For example，many early connected﹣home devices（装置）don't have much built﹣in security，which means they could be hacked（被黑客攻击），In addition，it could be difficult to getthese devices to work together because they are made by different companies．To fight this，many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium，which had 45members by late 2014．So，picture this：you walk in through the front door of your home．The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school．Your favorite music starts playing for you．Do you think that this would be a good thing？It may happen sooner than you think．32．The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that．A．the Internet of things will appear in our daily life soonerB．Samsung has produced the Internet of things recentlyC．Samsung products have been part of the Internet of thingsD．he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things33．We can infer（推断）from paragraphs 3and 4that．A．the chair can know whether the user feels cold or notB．a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes inC．an Internet﹣connected camera can be used to take photos in the houseD．an Internet﹣connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone 34．According to the passage，it is mentioned that•①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low②your fridge provides the drinks for you③the chair warms up if you feel cold④your favourite music starts playing⑤your washing machine starts workingA．①②⑤B．②③④C．①③④D．①④⑤35．What's the problem about the Internet of things？．A．Companies which produce connected﹣home devices haven't joined together．B．Connected﹣home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked．C．Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet．' D．These new devices are produced by different companies．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）16．（5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active，but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan，it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise．First，try to know what kind of person you are．Especially，are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning，or a night owl（猫头鹰）who almost never goes to bed before midnight？Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are，you will understand better when your body needs exercise，either early in the morning，sometime during the day，or later on in the evening．Second，consider your daily plan．When do you seem to be most busy，and when do you plan your most important tasks？Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible，so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected（影响）as well．Third，think about when you feel you have the most energy．For most people，that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest，or after a long day of work．After a busy or much stressful day，exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work．Lastly，find out the place you plan to do exercise．Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment（设备），but if there is a gym（健身房）down the street or along the way home from work，it will make it more suitable for you to exercise．More importantly，you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week．If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction，make it a habit．And once you have set up your fitness plan，don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to．五、词汇、A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词. 17．（1分）You'd better think（two）before you take the final action．18．（1分）The more you read，the（wealth）you will feel in spirit．19．（1分）He was still（sure）how to do it

one【解答】it是代指上文提及的同一个东西；that，那个；one是泛指；the one是特指；根据句中信息，"as good as"的后面应该用代词that，指代air quality；故选C．2．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Who will give us the speech on public manners？﹣﹣﹣Mr．Brown_____，but I'm not sure．（）A．can B．need C．must D．might【解答】答案：D．can能，会，need需要，must必须，一定，might可能．根据but I'm not sure．可知在这里表示一种推测，可能是布朗先生，但这种推测可能性不是很大．故选D．3．（1分）﹣﹣Would you like to visit the zoo with me now？﹣﹣Sorry．It's_____the visiting hours．Let's go there tomorrow．（）A．on B．over C．during D．beyond【解答】答案：D，on+天（一天的上午、下午、晚上）；over﹣在…之上、超过等；during﹣﹣在…期间；beyond﹣超过；越过；那一边，根据It's_____the visiting hours．Let's go there tomorrow﹣是在参观期间，让我们明天去那里吧，说明现在不行，去动物园不属于现在参观的范围，故选D4．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Don't you think it______ of some teenagers to be crazy about pop stars？﹣﹣﹣Well，I don't think so．We were once young and had the similar experiences．（）A．creative B．silly C．wise D．curious【解答】答案：B creative有创造性的；silly愚蠢的；wise明智的；curious好奇的．根据问句的句式结构，可知是一个反问句，表达的是肯定的语气；再根据答语I don't think so不认同说话者的观点，认为我们在年轻时都有过类似的追星的行为．结合语境我们可以推知这里需要填入的词应是一个贬义的形容词．综合以上分析，结合选项只有silly有此意义，故选B．5．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Could you tell me the_______of making such tasty cakes？﹣﹣﹣Well，I just follow the instructions in the cookbook．（）A．time B．method C．cost D．menu【解答】time，时间；method，方法；cost，花费；menu，菜单；菜，菜肴；根据句中信息"making such tasty cakes"和"follow the instructions in the cookbook"可知，该空应该填"方法，method"；故选B．6．（1分）Life is a

D．when【解答】答案：C until﹣直到…时；since﹣自从…；before﹣在…之前；when ﹣在…时，本题是一个人问詹尼要离开这儿去美国吗？詹尼回答说两个星期后离开这儿，不过表达方式不同，他是用的在离开这儿前还有两个星期，故选C8．（1分）Mike used to be a top student，but he______ behind since he lost himself in computer games．（）A．fell B．has fallen C．was D．has been【解答】答案：D首先此句是含时间状语从句的主从复合句．根据时间状语从句since he lost himself in computer games可知，此句表达"过去的动作对现在造成的影响"，所以主句要用现在完成时态；现在完成时态的结构为have/has+动词的过去分词．此处还要要把瞬间动作改为持续动作，所以应该用be behind，故选D．9．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Jack，I'd like to have your opinions about my report．﹣﹣﹣________．But I have one suggestion．（）A．That's a good idea B．I agree with youC．It looks fine to me D．Check it first【解答】答案：CA．那是一个好主意．B．我同意你的观点．C．对我来说，它很不错．D．先检查一下．根据第一个人的讲话可知是"希望对方表达对自己的报告的看法"，C项认为"It looks fine to me"（对我来说，它很不错），表达了"我"对"它"的看法．因而选C．10．（1分）﹣﹣﹣I'm going to give a talk on the Dragon Boat Festival to the exchange students．﹣﹣﹣Great!But don't forget to tell them______．（）A．what should they eat at the festivalB．why people enjoy the full moonC．what kind of race is often heldD．How do people celebrate it【解答】答案：C 根据But don't forget to tell them______．可知后面应跟一个宾语从句，宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，即主语+谓语，所以排除A，D．再根据文化常识可知龙舟节跟欣赏满月没有关系，排除掉B，故选C．二、完形填空（共1小题；每小题12分．满分12分）11．（12分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．How often do You let other people's rude actions

fall a beaver moved into the small stream beside our house．He began taking down small trees right away．and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond（水塘）．Every day，he added more to his dam（水坝）and to his house．We're sure you've all heard the saying，"as busy as a beaver"．Now，we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very short period of time．We thought that would be the last of the beaver's busy activity as winter came．To our amazement，however，he started chewing（咀嚼）on a very large tree．The tree was over 18meters tall and around 1.5meters in diameter（直径）．We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying．All winter，he chewed and chewed．He had setbacks（挫折）as we faced major winter storms and ice﹣cold weather．But sure enough，when the weather allowed，he would come back and chew a bit more．The beaver's first goal（目标）was to survive﹣﹣to build．home for the winter．Working every day with that goal in mind，he successfully achieved that goal．But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal一he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches（树枝）for the coming spring．Even with the setbacks he faced over the winter，he never gave up until he reached it．Our beaver's experience reminds us that we need to set goals for tomorrow．Sometimes just surviving seems to take up all of our time．But，if you do just a little bit when time allows and stick to your future goal，you will achieve it．When faced with setbacks，have your goal in heart and don't let the setbacks stop you．Keep chewing like the beaver，and you will achieve your goal in the end．23．What is the purpose of the beaver's chewing on the large tree？C．A．To provide more food for the winter because of the snow．B．To add more branches to his dam and his houseC．To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring．D．To keep working every day with a goal in mind．24．Here is．paragraph（段）"When spring arrived，we went down to see the beaver's progress．The tree was about to fall．Our beaver had almost completely chewed around and through the whole tree．"According to the passage，it should be put C．A．between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2B．between paragraph

When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of non-violent resistance(非暴力抵抗). Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil rights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law(民权法) to guarantee（保证）equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream”before the Lincoln Memorial. The “dream”is a dream of brotherly love and equality forthe Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a holiday in Luther King’s honor. He lives in people’s hearts forever.23. Martin Luther King was murdered when he was ________________ years old.A. 64B. 50C. 39D. 2824. The underlined word “delivered”can be replaced by ________________.A. gaveB. threwC. tookD. published25. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Martin Luther King.B. How to Award the Nobel Prize.C. Civil Rights MovementD. Civil Rights LawBHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin （起源）of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined （结合的）to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations(联系)---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style（文体）. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can give his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and boring.26. The origin language is _________.A. a legend (传说)from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or a secretC. an easy question to answerD. something which is not yet known by people27. What is true about words? ___________A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They cannot be written down.C. They are sounds which can express thought ,feelings, actions and things,D. They are mysterious.28. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.CDuring my travels through the mountains of Greece, I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow around the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and watched. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked bothbeautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time made a long, loud cry. The awful cry can be heard across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost sure it was a sign to be death.Every moment I expected to see the wolves run at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend(假装) I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false(假的)courage intimidated them and kept them back.29. Why didn’t the wolves attack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B. The man was already known to the wolves.C. They were too far away to catch the man.D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.30. The underlined word “intimidated”probably means “”.A. encouragedB. scaredC. doubtedD. hurt31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this story?A. To show that mountains can be dangerous places.B. To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.C. To make people aware of the danger of wolves.D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.DTatyana McFadden was born in 1989 in Russia, with an illness that caused her not to be able to move half of her body. She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana’s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one of the able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,”Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, ‘That’s my mother,’which she had never done before.”Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girlback to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.As the team’s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.Tatyana says, “I don’t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”32. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.A. lived in a poor villageB. couldn’t read any booksC. walked on her hands and armsD. couldn’t communicate with others33. Why did Deborah decide to adopt Tatyana?A. Because of Tatyana’s story.B. Because she was interested in Tatyana.C. Because of other’s suggestion.D. Because Tatyana did well in almost anything.34. What did Tatyana do after she was adopted?A. She took up different sports.B. She bought herself the first wheelchair.C. She went to see a doctor from time to time.D. She trained hard to be a member of the school team.35. From the passage, we can know Tatyana is a(n) ____________ girl.A. honestB. kind-heartedC. understandingD. strong-minded四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Happiness is a state of mind and its meaning and value differ from person to person. However, one thing that everyone agrees upon is that happiness is an invaluable gift of life.Happiness means different things to different people. For some, happiness lies in material wealth(物质财富)--- the more money they have, the happier they are. For some, happiness has no relation with material wealth; happiness for them lies in inner truth and satisfaction.Happiness is like a magic wand(魔棒) that helps you to effectively face all difficulties in life. It teaches you the power of positivity(乐观) and the meaning of life. We are often likely to neglect(忽略) the importance of happiness in our life. We perform our daily activities and end up leading a life like a robot, often neglecting happiness and its value.Whatever you do in life, one should always aim to achieve happiness. Tolive life to the fullest, one needs to understand what happiness is and how one can achieve it. Do things that give you happiness and peace of mind. Happiness is not hard to achieve. You just need to spend some time with yourself, understand your inner feelings and thoughts, and find ways that can help you stay happy and healthy.A happy mind is the way to a healthy and meaningful life. Thus, one should understand the true value of happiness in one’s life so that one can live life, not just live to live.五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。
