When we got there, a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using two of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans. Luckily, we were able to use the 2 remaining machines.
Of course, there were others that came, but when they saw the two families with garbage bags full of recycled things, they quickly left. However, one woman came in with just 5 cans and looked as if she was in a hurry. So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans. Of course, she was grateful, and it felt good to let her go ahead of me. But that was not the whole story.
My daughter and I continued to work through the bags, but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full, My daughter was left with nothing to do. The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines, but it seemed that they were almost done. I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done. But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness. He offered to let us go ahead of him. I was really surprised, because we had more than 5 bottles, but he didn't seem to mind. I happily accepted it.

The Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city-Melbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldn't it? And what better way to regain our title as world's most livable city? I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place.
It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve, a new freeway, it's all here.
The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road
show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜).
Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around. There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go!
As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most livable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about.
28. In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering ________________.
A. how Melbourne has fallen behind
B. when the international list was re-examined
C. what they should do to regain the world's focus
D. whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience
29. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?
A. The casual life styles of Melbourne.
B. The competitive advantages of Melbourne.
C. The various social activities in Melbourne.
D. The convenient transportation in Melbourne.
30. From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes __________.
A. have minimum social activities
B. take no interest in the beauty of the city
C. are forbidden to live in the busy city center
D. are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly
31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要提出了对墨尔本丢失了最宜居城市桂冠的质疑,以及从墨尔本城市体育场、交通、社会生活三个方面来说明墨尔本所具有的优势。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place. (我听说我们最近失去了向外国朋友自豪地说这句话的权利,因为我们重新审查了国际名单,我们滑落到了第四名)以及第二段第一句It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer.(当你看到墨尔本所能提供的东西时,很难想象它是如何丢掉桂冠的)可知,作者好奇为何墨尔本会落后于其他城市,故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第三句And what better way to regain our title as world's most livable city? (还有什么更好的方法让我们重新成为世界上最宜居的城市呢?)以及文章第三、四、五段分别介绍了墨尔本的场地优势,交通优势和丰富的社交生活。由此可知,作者主要介绍了墨尔本的竞争优势,故正确答案为B。
30题详解】
推理判断题。根据上一段在说墨尔本丰富的社交生活,紧接着用unfortunately进行转折,所以是在暗示运动员的社交生活非常少。从划线的句子中,我们可以推断出运动员的社会活动很少。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一、二段作者提出了对墨尔本丢失最宜居城市桂冠的质疑,然后在三、四、五段分别从城市体育场、交通、社会生活三个方面来讲墨尔本具有的三个优势,最后一段中By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about.(到目前为止,这是地球上最容易逃避死亡的地方,这基本上就是我们所说的)对文章进行了总结,故选D。
【点睛】隐含意义推理判断题。这类题的题干中常含有:infer/suggest/imply/conclude/intend/purpose/be likely to等标志性词语。解决这类问题时要理解文章潜在的含义和作者所给的提示。同时,要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作出合理的猜测和推断。如第三小题,根据上一段在说墨尔本丰富的社交生活,紧接着用unfortunately进行转折,所以是在暗示运动员的社交生活非常少。从划线的句子中,我们可以推断出运动员的社会活动很少。故选A。
D
Basically, without the possibility of failure, there is little possibility of success. Education is in danger of becoming a branch of the entertainment industry. Although education should indeed be entertaining where possible, it cannot always be fun. Often, it needs the "hard yards".
Some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs, I would disagree. Facing up to challenges helps develop children. Avoiding challenges can severely limit their potential. Tougher children are able to try and fail. The less tough may simply fail to try anything new.
I’m not advocating putting children under pressure. The real debate is perhaps what pressures are unavoidable. It's not about "throwing children into the deep end", but rather encouraging them to put their foot in the water and giving them the skills to float.
This latter approach is basically the work I and my team do at the University of Hull. We measure mental toughness and then provide interventions to improve this. These interventions include psychological skills such as goal setting, relaxation and thought control. So, for example, many children will say: "What happens if it goes wrong?" We work hard to change this so that the sentence reads: "What happens if it goes right?" One word difference, but a world away when thinking about challenges.
We try to help children deal more effectively with life using a three-step approach. Firstly, it is important to set realistic and achievable goals. Then it is a matter of finding out what factors (因素
) are helping children to achieve these goals and what factors are working against this. The final step is to discover which of these factors can be controlled, or at least influenced, and what factors the child is in reality stuck with. Redirecting children's energies to movable obstacles (障碍) can produce huge life changes.
However, I think that for most of us we have become stress averse (反对的) and overreact to it. It has always been there, and it has always been the case that some people enjoy it, some need help to deal with it and some people's lives are ruined by it.
Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward. The more a fear is avoided, the bigger it gets.
32. From the passage, we know the writer believes ____________.
A. education needs challenges
B. education should always be fun
C. children should avoid facing challenges
D. the more challenges, the better for the children
33. The writer disagreed with some educationalists because ________________.
A. some children are less tough
B. some pressures are avoidable
C. some challenges do good to children
D. some children are unaware of their potential
34. What do the writer and his team do at the University of Hull?
A. Record what the children do in stressful situations.
B. Make the children tougher mentally and physically.
C. Put the children under pressure by giving them challenges.
D. Give the children challenges and suggest suitable approaches.
35. What is the correct attitude towards stress according to the writer?
A. We should try our best to avoid stress.
B. We should love stress because stress is unavoidable.

这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述教育现在面临很多的挑战,这些挑战既有好处又有弊端。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句Facing up to challenges helps develop children.可知,面对挑战有利于使孩子们成长,即作者认为教育需要挑战。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs, I would disagree.(一些教育学家认为,如果某件事引起了担忧,就应该不惜一切代价避免,我不同意这种看法)以及第二段第三句Facing up to challenges helps develop children.(面对挑战有助于孩子的成长)可知,作者不同意一些教育专家的意见,因为他认为面对挑战对孩子们的发展有好处,故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句…encouraging them to put their foot in the water and giving them the skills to float提到,作者的方法是鼓励孩子们踏入水中,然后教给他们漂浮的技巧,言下之意是通过让他们去面临挑战来教给他们合适的应对挑战的方法。而第四段开头提到,这种方法正是基于在Hull大学的实验,随后具体介绍了实验的内容,故D选项“给孩子们挑战,并建议适当的方法”符合文意。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward.(让我们的孩子知道压力是可以面对和战胜的,这为他们提供了前进的道路) 可推知,作者认为对待压力的正确态度是应该去经历压力然后学会解决方法,故选D。
【点睛】态度、观点及感受类推理判断题。高考阅读理解题中有些题目考查考生对文章作者的思想、人物性格倾向等方面的理解。对于判断情感态度类题目,考生需要分析段落大意、作者的思路,理解了文章的段落大意、中心思想后,才能判断出作者的情感态度。学会辨别清楚文章的体裁。如第四小题,根据最后一段第一句Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward.(让我们的孩子知道压力是可以面对和战胜的,这为他们提供了前进的道路)可推知,作者认为对待压力的正确态度是应该去经历压力然后学会解决方法,故选D。

Casual Dress in the WorkplaceFor Ruth, an employee at an insurance company, Friday isn’t just another workday. It is the day when she can wear a sweater and casual trousers instead of business suit.____36____“It is a real treat. It puts us in good mood and winds the week down.” Ruth has joined thousands of workers across the United States who happily change from jackets, ties, and dresses to jeans, polo shirts, and sweaters on Fridays.Why dress-down Friday? “I think it gives an atmosphere of less formality(正式),” says President Matthew of Entex Industries. Today, dressing casually on the job is a way to show your company is in style. Another contributor is faxes, voice mail and email, which have reduced public contact.____37____However, even though dressing down is popular, the trend is controversial. Some workers remain strongly opposed. “You have got all the time in the world to dress down when you retire,” declared one woman.___38___“We had some very important guests come in on a Friday a few months ago,” says another worker. “These people dressed in navy suits. Our people dressed way down. I thought it was embarrassing. It sent the wrong message about our company.” Many people feel that suits, ties and dresses are superior to casual clothes in creating a positive professional image.____39____Some experts think it will go away one day. As long as the trend continues, though, dressing casually can cause a little confusion in the workplace. Business people aren’t sure what to wear, and many people just put on whatever they feel like in the morning.____40____They believe dressing down at work is one of the signs that the society is lowering its standards of everything. Czardas and John T. Malloy, author of Dress for Success, say psychological changes occur when people dress up. “There is no question what you wear affects what you do, your performance, and your attitude,” says Malloy.
A. Will the dress-down trend last?
B. Will dressing casually become popular?
C. The casual dress trend worries some fashion professionals.
D. It is when she feels more confident and gets ready for next promotion.
E. She loves the day away from her usual dressy suits and high-heeled shoes.
F. Others worry that dressing casually lowers an employer’s professional image.
G. With fewer out-of-the-office meetings, people are dressing less to impress and more for comfort.

87. Troy做出了让人惊讶的转变——从一个考试不及格的学生到班里的第一名。

87. Troy made an amazing transformation from a failing student to the top of his class.
88. The prospect of a good job keeps most students working very hard.
89. Stan gradually realized that his health wasn’t improving.
【解析】
本题考查翻译句子,注意时态语态、主谓一致及非谓语动词的使用。
【85题详解】
考查时态和宾语从句。根据时间状语可知事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,be in a good/bad mood表示“心情好/不好”;make an apology to sb for sth/ owe sb an apology for sth/ apologise to sb for sth表示“为某事向某人道歉”,for后为宾语从句,从句中的said缺少宾语,所以用what引导宾语从句,故翻译为:I was in a bad mood yesterday. I should make an apology to you for what I said./I owe you an apology for what I said. / I should apologise to you for what I said.
【86题详解】
考查if从句+祈使句。get/be stuck in表示“困在、陷入”,根据句意可知本句使用if从句+祈使句,if从句用一般现在时表将来,根据句意可知,祈使句中要不定式作目的状语,故翻译为:If you are / get stuck in the elevator / lift, dial this number to contact people outside and wait for rescue.
【87题详解】
考查时态。make a transformation from...to...表示“从……转变为……”,同时修饰物用ing结尾的形容词,表示“令人……的”,语境表明事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故翻译为:Troy made an amazing transformation from a failing student to the top of his class.
【88题详解】
考查时态和非谓语动词。keep sb doing表示“让某人一直做某事”,陈述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语为The prospect of a good job,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故翻译为:The prospect of a good job keeps most students working very hard.
【89题详解】
考查时态和宾语从句。语境表明事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,realized后为宾语从句,从句成分完整,所以用that引导,仅起连接作用,无实义,故翻译为:Stan gradually realized that his health wasn’t improving.
三、语法填空(共6小题,每小题1分,共6分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Motto is a short statement ___90___(give) a rule on how to behave, ___91___ can inspire us especially when we are faced with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those ___92___ help themseives.” Sometimes I am lazy and don’t want to make efforts to work hard, but the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself to ___93___I am doing. I write my motto where I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto ___94___ (inspire) me with much confidence. My motto also makes me become an independent person. That is to say, I won’t rely on others easily.
My friend, what is your motto? ___95___you still haven’t got a motto, please choose one because a motto can have a great effect on you.
【答案】90. giving
91. which 92. who
93. what 94. inspires
95. If
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,作者介绍了自己的座右铭及其对自己的影响。
【90题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:座右铭是一个简短的陈述,给出了一个关于如何表现的规则,它可以激励我们,特别是当我们面对困难时。分析句子结构可知此处使用非谓语动词,statement 与give之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作后置定语,故填giving。
【91题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句。句意同上,分析句子结构可知此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词指代先行词a short statement并在从句中作主语,故填which。
【92题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我的座右铭是“天助自助者”。此处为定语从句,先行词为those,指人,关系代词多用who在从句中作主语,故填who。
【93题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:有时我会变得懒惰,不想努力学习,但一想到我的座右铭,我就会重新振作起来,全身心投入到学习之中。分析句子结构可知此处为宾语从句,从句中的doing缺少宾语,故填what。
【94题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:每当我考试不及格,开始灰心时,看到我的座右铭,我就会充满信心。文章的基础时态为一般现在时,此处也用一般现在时,主语为the sight of my motto,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故填inspires。
【95题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意:如果你还没有座右铭,请选择一个,因为座右铭会对你有很大的影响。根据“you still haven’t got a motto, please choose one because a motto can have a great effect on you.”可知此处需要提到一个条件,根据句意可知此处表示“如果”,故填If。
【点睛】定语从句的解答关键分两步走,一是找准先行词,二是判断关系词在从句中所作的成分,例如本篇第2题,分析句子结构可知此处为非限定性定语从句,先行词为a short statement,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,需要注意that不能引导非限定性从句,故填which。
四、写作(10分)
96.假设你是高二学生李华,你的朋友Jim将要来中国旅行,他希望你给他提点儿建议,避免因为文化不同而导致误会,请给他写封回信,内容包括:
1. 欢迎他来中国旅行
2. 你的建议
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Jim,
I'm glad to hear that you are going to pay a visit to China during the summer vacation. In order to ensure that you have a pleasant trip and avoid misunderstanding due to different cultures, I have some tips for you. As we all know, language and cultural diversity are the biggest obstacles to travel,
so you'd better learn some basic Mandarin in advance. Of course, if you can learn a few local dialects, it will be much better. In addition, Chinese eating habits are very different from your country, so you'd better know about Chinese Recipes beforehand.
Wish you have a good time in China!
Yours truly
Lihua
