There lay my house， reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty. Before the trip，I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill. she noticed my Louisiana license plate.“You from New Orleans? ”she asked. I said l was， “No charge.”She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened. As my wife was studying in Florid，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款)on our ruined house. We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory. We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State，an online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”)a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity， that we had no plans to go back. Then a poet of the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months. Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers backs my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing you worldly possessions to be reminded that people really want to be kind when given a channel. 56. Which one shows the right time order? ①James Kennedy sent us a check. ②A poet offered his house to us. ③Our home was reduced to ruins. ④The garage employee charged us nothing. ⑤We came back to New Orleans.

He worked for an online magazine. D. He was concerned about the writer’s sufferings. 解析：细节题 根据此句可知 He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State， 答案：D 58. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. The mortgage on the ruined house didn’t need to be paid off B. The house rents in New Orleans were reasonable after the hurricane C. The writer rebuilt his faith in humanity by losing his worldly possessions D. The writer made it through the painful period with people's kindness 解析：推断题 根据最后一段此句可知 Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers backs my faith in humanity. 答案：D 59. How is the passage developed? A. By showing contrasting facts. B. By making classification C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing causes and effects. 解析：篇章结构题 作者是描述了飓风之后发生的一系列事实叙述的。 答案：C B Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet， listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems. A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times. the all-singing. all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones valuable for many people. However，there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity.” 60. The text is probably taken from_______. A. a scientific report B. a financial report C. a newspaper D. a literary journal 解析：信息题 根据文章内容可推断。 答案：C 61. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means . A. advantages B. faults C. mistakes D. features 解析：猜词题 根据上下文可知，使用智能手机的“不利条件”。 答案：B 62. Ghadi may agree that________. A. employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day B. the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthless C. smartphones might turn a person into a workaholic D. people literally cannot get away from work without smartphones 解析：细节题 根据此句和下文可知 but they also turn you into a workaholic。 答案：C 63. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Smartphones are lengthening working hours. B. Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people. C. Britons work art additional 460 hours a year on average. D. Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think. 解析：主旨大意题 文章主要叙述的就是拥有一部智能手机却延长了工作时间。 答案：A C Dear David， I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking：will I make a good father？How will I cope? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can l provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them. It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door，and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for Advice，he grows into a fully mature man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progression of states，from the baby to the adult. Most people feel，on Tuesday，about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80. There's a common remark that “all men are little boys”，but it's not true. It's more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives， are capable of groat maturity. Once your baby arrives，you’ll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child，particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support. Comfort yourself，David，with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened. And remember that people who haven't grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up. Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one. Yours sincerely， Miss Advice 64. According to the passage，Miss Advice thinks David's self-doubt is________. A. valuable B. natural C. unusual D. bearable 解析：细节题 根据 It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up”可知。 答案：B 65. From Paragraph 2，we can learn that people's sense of maturity________. A. will increase with age B. is obviously seen at home C. changes with different situations D. becomes stronger with familiar people 解析：细节题 根据此段中对一位老板角色的变化可知“人的成熟感是随环境变化而变化的”。 答案：C 66. Miss Advice holds that_______. A. all men behave like little boys B. people tend to laugh at the subject C. men with a baby feel more grown-up D. people enjoy talking about their immaturity 解析：推断题 其他观点都太片面，不符合作者的观点。 答案：C 67. Miss Advice wrote the letter to________. A. offer suggestions to a future father B. teach people how to grow up C. encourage people to be responsible D. solve problems of the less grown-up 解析：细节题 文章一开始就说明了。 答案：A D Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods，we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes，our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances，the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once，the body grows fat. Processed foods contain chemical elements，which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat；as a result，people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原)and then store them safely away from the organs as fat，or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste，which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body's cells. The body's metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive，and the result is weight gain and obesity. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks，people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself，you need to take an active approach. 68. It can be inferred from Para.2 that_______. A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit B. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods C. it is essential for people to protect their vital organs D. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle 解析：细节题 本段讲的是自然酶对身体的作用。 答案：A 69.Processed foods are unhealthy because they________. A. destroy body's cells B. may lead to obesity C. are difficult to digest D. stop body's metabolism 解析：总结分析题 根据 Processed foods contain chemical elements，…as a result，people often overeat.可知。 答案：B 70. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To warn people of the problem of obesity. B. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods. C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods. D. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods. 解析：主旨大意题 本文讲述的是我们应该多吃生的和未加工的食物，少吃做熟的和精细加 工的食物。 答案：B 71. The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means________. A.violent B. progressive C. harmful D. positive 解析：猜词题 根据上下文可知。 答案：C E As a society we might want to rethink the time and money spent on education，so that these resources can benefit a greater percentage of the population. Ideally，both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles. High school degrees offer far less in the way of preparation for work than they might，or than many other nations currently offer，creating a growing skills gap in our economy. We encourage students to go on to college whether they are prepared or not，or have a clear sense of purpose or interest，and now have the highest college dropout rate in the world. We might look to other countries for models of how high schools can offer better training，as well as the development of a work ethic(美德)and the intellectual skills needed for continued learning and development. Meanwhile，the liberal arts(人文学科)become more important than ever. In a knowledge economy where professional roles change rapidly and many college students are preparing for positions that may not even exist yet，the skill needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning. Learning to express ideas well in both writing and speech，knowing how to find information， and knowing how to do research are all solid background skills for a wide variety of roles，and such training is more important than any particular major in a liberal arts college. We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills that will serve for a lifetime. Students also need to learn to work independently and to make responsible decisions. The lengthening path to adulthood appears exacerbated(恶化)by parental involvement in the college years. Given the rising investment in college education，parental concern is not surprising，but learning where and when to intervene will help students take more ownership of the outcomes of these increasingly costly educations. 72. What kind of education does the author think is ideal? A. It benefits the great majority of the general population. B. It prepares students to meet the future needs of society. C. It encourages students to learn throughout their lives. D. It ensures that students’ expectations are successfully fulfilled. 解析：细节题 根据此句可知 Ideally，both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles. 答案：B 73. What is the feature of a knowledge economy? A. People have to receive higher education to qualify for a professional position. B. Students majoring in liberal arts usually have difficulty seeking a job. C. New positions are constantly created that require people to keep learning. D. Colleges find it hard to teach students how to cope with the changing economy. 解析：C.段落大意题 根据 In a knowledge economy …the skill needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning.可知。 答案：C 74. According to the author，a liberal arts college should focus on_______? A. solid background knowledge in a particular field B. practical skills urgently needed in current society C. basic skills needed for change and lifelong learning D. useful thinking skills for advanced academic research. 解析：细节题 根据 We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills that will serve for a lifetime.可知。 答案：C 75. What suggestion does the author offer to parents? A. Rethinking the value of higher education. B. Investing wisely in their children’s education. C. Helping their children to bring their talent into full play. D. Avoiding too much intervention in their children’s education. 解析：推断题 文章最后提到家长的干涉是不正确的，所以要避免。 答案：D 第Ⅱ卷(共 35 分) 第四部分写作(共两节，满分 35 分) 写作一(满分 15 分) 请结合材料，按要求用英文写作。 A friend of mine said，“I really miss the days when the sky was blue and the river was clear.” 要求：1.就此材料发表你的看法； 2.紧扣材料，有明确的观点； 3.词数不少于 6o； 4.在答题卡上作答。 解析：本文讲了环境受到破坏的原因及治理措施，充分表达了环境保护的重要性。文章使 用了一些好的句型和词汇，如：As is shown in this sentence,…定语从句；with the rivers filled with …with 复合结构；it is high time that…句型；文中一些衔接词使文章结构紧密，如：In my opinion, firstly, Moreover, As for 等，不失为一篇佳作。 答案： As is shown in this sentence, despite the rapid development of our country, our environment has been seriously polluted, with the rivers filled with dirty water and the sky covered with dust and haze. In my opinion, firstly, the sharp increase of the number of cars is an important contributing factor. The emissions of their exhaust gas into the atmosphere exert a disastrous effect on the air quality. Moreover, many factories, in order to pursue their short-term interests, discharge their industrial waste directly into the river, which has brought about serious water pollution. As for the measures we need to take, it is high time that we should use less cars, clean the water from the factories, reduce dirt in the air。 写作二(满分 20 分) 假设你是李华，对从事国际志愿者工作很感兴趣，并有意利用高三毕业后的暑假时间去 从事国际志愿者工作。请你用英文给国际志愿者组织网站 www.volunteerhq.org 提申请。 主要内容包括： ● 本人基本信息介绍 ● 希望去马达加斯加(Madagascar)从事海洋保护项目(Marine Conservation)；参与时间 为六月至八月 ● 相关个人资历的介绍(如：有初级潜水员 Open Water Diver 资质等) ● 对此志愿者活动感兴趣的理由 要求：1.词数不少于 80： 2.书信格式及开头均已给出(不计入总词数) ； 3.在答题卡上作答。 Dear Sir or Madam， I am a high school student from China. __________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely， Li Hua 解析：本文讲了一封申请信，内容要点齐全，句子简单有力，表达内容清晰，运用了一些好 的句型和词汇，如：participate in；make it；which I believe 定语从句；by working with；不 足之处是段落之间衔接不够紧密，有些散的感觉。 答案： I am a high school student from China.

I assume that I can make a difference in maintaining its bio-diversity by working with the conservation program.
