I knew nothing about her. I even thought she was younger than me, when in reality she was an Engineering Ph.D. student at Iowa State University. She had a dog, whom she walked regularly at four oclock every day. I never let our paths cross at that time. I didnt want to start a meaningless conversation while checking the mail, and I was sure she didnt either.Then, one day, Candace knocked on my door to say that she would be my Brown University alumni interviewer(校友面试官). We agreed to meet at Caf Diem. I arrived early and ordered hot chocolate with cream. Candace arrived later and unknowingly ordered the same. Both of us were excited to see the commonality. The interview went very well. We talked about Brown University, of course. We found that we both loved Taylor Swift. As I shook her hand once more, I think we both knew our relationship as neighbors would transform in weeks to come.The thing is, it didnt. A week after the interview, Candace was killed in a car accident. I was extremely shocked and sad, not only because this talented woman died when she was so young, but also because our relationship was left there. I was left with the worst feeling of regret Ive ever had.This is why I believe you must always get to know your neighbors. If it ends up being disappointing, let it be. There is no loss there. You must get to know your neighbors because you never know when a running friend or a lifelong friend is living right next door.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者很想念她的邻居，很后悔没有早点认识她。1Why did Candace visit the author?AShe intended to talk with the author.BShe would act as the authors interviewer.CShe wanted to improve their relationships.DShe planned to apply for Brown University.B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的Then, one day.Brown University alumni interviewer可知，Candace要成为作者的校友面试官。2The underlined word “transform” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”AendBstartCchangeDcontinueC解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，此处是说作者以为她和Candace的关系会有巨大改变，因为她们非常默契。3What happened to Candace after the interview?AShe wanted to kill herself.BShe moved to other places.CShe died in an accident.DShe was employed by another university.C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的A week after the interview, Candace was killed in a car accident.可知答案。4The author implies in the last paragraph that _Ashe hates being disturbed by neighborsBshe regrets not knowing Candace earlierCshe has been hurt by her former neighborsDshe is satisfied with her current neighborsB解析：推理判断题。通读最后一段，尤其是最后一句You must get to know.right next door.可知，作者很后悔没有早点认识她的这位邻居。BIt doesnt matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.Thats what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin.Al Herpin, it was said, never slept.Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind.So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.But they were surprised.Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping.In fact, he did not even own a bed.He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.They found only one answer that might explain his condition.Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born.But that was all.Was this the real reason?

As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat at an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them on the wall.” As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”. A few minutes later, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same; he pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, “A Cup of Coffee”. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal here. However, it was something unique and puzzling us. When we finished our coffee, we paid the bill and left.After a few days, we went to this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered.The way this man was dressed did not match the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was obvious from the looks on his face. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us. The great respect for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town welled up our eyes with tears.【解题导语】本文讲述了威尼斯一家咖啡馆的独特传统。来咖啡馆的人通常会点一杯咖啡存在墙上，提供给有需要的人。13Whats the best title for this passage?AOne More CoffeeBCoffee on the WallCA Coffee ShopDA Cup of CoffeeB解析：标题归纳题。该故事讲述了威尼斯一家咖啡馆的独特传统：来咖啡馆喝咖啡的人在为自己点一杯咖啡的同时，可以点一杯咖啡存在墙上以供需要的人免费喝。由此可以归纳出最佳标题为“墙上的咖啡”。14The customers paid extra money for coffee to_Ahelp a friendBtip the waiterCgive a strangerDtreat the writerC解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段可知，顾客付费之后存在墙上的咖啡是供那些需要咖啡而又没钱付费的人享用的，也就是陌生人。15The customer who ordered coffee from the wall _Awas dressed properlyBfelt embarrassed to enter the cafCwas moved to tearsDwas offered a good serviceD解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect and dignity.可知，点墙上咖啡的顾客也得到了很好的服务。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all have been told since we were kids that we need at least 8 hours of sleep every night.16._ Not many.Sleep，though，is one of the most important things our bodies need to stay to healthy.Without the rest that sleep provides，our bodies and minds wear down to the point where not only do we lose our work efficiency，but lack of sleep can even make us sick.17._A lot of people eat late into the night and then try to sleep on a full stomach.18._While youre trying to sleep，your body is working hard to absorb whatever youve eaten.Stay away from food a few hours before you go to bed，so that your body can rest.If you need more hours in the day to get your work done，try to make a choice between waking up extra early and then going to bed on time，or staying up later but then also getting up later.Some people do better and are more productive when they stay up late.19._ Do some tests on yourself to see which option works better on you.20_ You, body and your mind are more efficient when a routine has been set and a habit has been formed.Follow the same positive sleep patterns for a week or a month and youll notice a big change in how much more restful you feel.AIf you are struggling to get the sleep you need，here are some suggestions for you.BSo its vital to have enough sleep for us.CTurn sleep into a habit.DOthers feel better and have more energy when they wake up early.EThe more hours we sleep，the more energy we will have.FThis will not provide you with a restful sleep.GHowever，how many of us actually get that many hours of sleep?【解题导语】我们从孩提时就被告知每晚至少需要8个小时的睡眠，然而，我们中有多少人真正有那么多小时的睡眠呢？如何得到8小时睡眠？睡眠对人重要吗？文章将一一解答。16G解析：根据上句的“我们从孩提时就被告知每晚至少需要8个小时的睡眠”和下句的“并不很多”，可知中间有转折和疑问之意，故选G，句意：然而，我们中有多少人真正有那么多小时的睡眠呢？17A解析： 根据下面是讲的有关睡眠的建议，可知与选项A中的“here are some suggestions for you.这儿有一些建议”相呼应，故选A。18F解析：根据上句“很多人吃到很晚，然后肚子饱饱的去睡觉”，可知本句是说这样做的后果，故选F，句意：这将不会为您提供一个安稳的睡眠。19D解析：根据上句中的“Some people”可知与选项D中的“Others”呼应，故选D，句意：有些人熬夜时做得更好，更有效率。其他人醒得早感觉更好，更有精力。20C解析：下句的“.a habit has been formed”与选项C中的“habit”呼应，故选C，句意：把睡眠变成一种习惯。第二部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My former teacher, Katelyn Varga, was an amazing teacher.

dream place，we were looking forward to为一个定语从句修饰前面的先行词the dream place，come into view为句子的谓语部分，这是对旅游事件的描述，所以用过去时态，故答案为came。43highest解析：分析句子可知，这一部分内容是对the Zhurong Peak的解释说明，为它的同位语成分，由常识可知，祝融峰是衡山七十二峰中的最高峰，故答案为highest。44However解析：前面说到达山顶呼吸新鲜的空气和后面的两个小时前在长沙时由于天热而听力都困难形成了对比，前后为转折关系，故答案为However。45where解析：该空前面为一逗号，后面为一个完整的句子，所以为一个非限制性定语从句，修饰表示地点的先行词Changsha，因此用关系副词where来引导，故答案为where。46its解析：green trees and straight bamboos属于衡山的特色，所以用its表示所属关系，即衡山的美很大程度上在于它的绿树和挺拔的竹林，故答案为its。47with/by解析：covered by/with the white floating clouds为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰peaks after peaks，表示被白色的浮云笼罩的山峰，所以用介词by或者with。48leaves解析：温和的阳光穿过茂密的树叶投射到地上，此处用leaf的复数形式leaves，故答案为leaves。49happily解析：人们能够在丛林里和山谷里听到鸟幸福地歌唱，此处需要用副词来修饰动词singing，故答案为happily。50being struck解析： 此处考查动词短语cannot help doing sth.情不自禁地做某事，根据后面的介词by可知，是表达我被这种大自然的壮美风景所震撼，所以用cannot help being done，故答案为being struck。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。John
