And36 otherwise assigned(指定) a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn't have decided to gi ve it a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 47 on learn-ing the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't48 “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the "moves".Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 53 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand —even when I sometimes wasn't 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.36． A. as B. until C. unless D. though37． A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose38． A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started39． A. idea B. plan C. belief D. saying40、 A. right B. chance C. ability D. patience41、 A. going B. looking C. cheering D. applying42． A. point B. half C. rest D. basis43． A. enjoying B. preparing C. attending D. watching44． A. less B. later C. worse D. further45． A. committed B. motivated C. embarrassed D. confused46． A.

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I' m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it — there aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. "She' s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, " my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe —and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.56．The author says "I'm so glad I did." ( in Para. 2) because ________.A．he witnessed the whole process of fishingB．he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC．he experienced the rescue of the whalesD．he spent the weekend with his family57．The harbour survived the storm owing to ________.A．the shape of the harbour B．the arms of the bayC．the still water in the channel D．the long coast line58．The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.A．she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB．the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC．she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD．the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction59．What is the theme of the story?A．Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B．.Fishing provides excitement for children.C．.It's necessary to live in harmony with animals.D．It's vital to protect the environment.BThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life, “Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,” she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. " And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!60．For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .A．get long lasting excitement B．keep both man and elephants safeC．send them back to the jungle D．make the angry elephants tame61．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .A．she spent her time hunting with her fatherB．she learned how to sing love songsC．she had already been called an elephant princessD．she was taught how to hunt tigers62．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A．they are caught and sent for heavy workB．illegal hunters capture them and kill themC．they are attacked and their land gets limitedD．dogs often bark at them and chase them63．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A．people easily fall victims to elephants' attacksB．the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC．elephant tamers are in short supplyD．dogs are as powerful as elephantsCBelow is a housing guide for students going to London.University accommodation(住所) officeMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords. Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. Thedisadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students. Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source(来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co. uk.Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic(有疑问的).Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.64．What is the advantage of using Loot?A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B．It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C．Their website is designed mainly for students.D．There are some good bargains.65．A good agent can help you______.A．know more people B．find cheap accommodationC．get the right accommodation quickly D．get free information about most accommodations 66．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because______.A．it is better than that found through any other sourceB．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC．the final year students always offer better informationD．the landlords have little valuable information67．For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?A．University accommodation offices. B．Loot and Renting.C．Noticeboards. D．Family.DAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 2005 and 2012. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In man y supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.68．What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A．Using too much packaging. B．Recycling too many wastes.C．Making more products than necessary. D．Having more material than is needed. 69．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.A．the tendency of cutting household waste B．the increase of packaging recyclingC．the rapid growth of super markets D．the fact of packaging overuse 70．According to the text, recycling ______.A．helps control the greenhouse effect B．means burning packaging for energyC．is the solution to gas shortage D．leads to a waste of land71．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality. B．Supermarkets care more about packaging.C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging. D．Other products are better packaged than food.EFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do？Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen' s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on theweekends.Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is —politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.72．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A．Both can continue for generations. B．Both are about where to draw the line.C．Neither has any clear winner. D．Neither can be put to an end.73．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.74．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ____________.A．give orders to the other B．know more than the otherC．gain respect from the other D．get the other to behave properly75．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts. B．Examples of the parent-teen war.C．Solutions for the parent-teen problems. D．Future of the parent-teen relationship.第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空一个词。
