She started coughing as she laid back on a sofa in the student lounge (休息室). Clearly, she wasnt well. Without thinking too much about it I went to the Student Affairs office where I knew I could find clothes in the “Lost and Found” box. I gathered her up an entire outfit (全套装备) and made my way back. Thats when a coworker told me I should not help this person, as it would only lead to her wanting more help. I ignored her and carried on, despite the warnings.Two weeks later a lovely elderly man came to my office and asked to speak with me in private. Curious, I gave him my full attention. He continued to tell me that he had overheard the conversation with the coworker about helping the sick woman. He wanted me to know that it was always okay to help people, and that was why he wanted to give me a check for D|S1,000! I burst into tears, because I really needed the money at the time, but also because I had never been recognized in such a way for helping someone!This man and I became firm friends and, twenty years later, he called me up out of the blue and told me he wanted to help me buy my first home! He ended up giving me D|S120,000 with no strings attached, as a down payment to buy my dream house in my hometown.I asked him why he wanted to give me such a large gift and he said it was because I was a “giver” and that I deserved it.To_make_a_long_story_short,_I was able to buy the perfect little home for me, all because one day I did not hesitate to help a homeless woman. 1From the first paragraph we know_.Athe homeless woman had no moneyBthe homeless woman wanted to find some foodCthe homeless woman wanted to find a place to live inDthe homeless woman was ill2Why does the elderly man buy a house for the writer?ABecause the writer has helped others.BBecause the writer wants his dream house.CBecause the elderly man is lovely.DBecause the elderly man has a lot of money.3Whats the meaning of the underlined phrase “To make a long story short” in the last paragraph?AIn general.BIn a word.CIn relief.DIn doubt.4What can we learn from the writers experience?ANo pains, no gains.BA friend in need is a friend indeed.CGood is rewarded with good.DTwo heads are better than one.BNathan Phillips, who will formally begin his freshman year at the University of San Diego on Aug. 31, will arrive on campus in an unusual and philanthropic manner.Phillips is expected to arrive between 5 pm and 6 pm Thursday on his bicycle, having pedalled 1,450 miles from Astoria, Ore.Phillips combined his desire to complete a long bike ride before entering college with his interest in helping the children of Uganda.He is raising funds for Invisible Children, a San Diegobased organization seeking to end conflicts afflicting (使苦恼) northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic and stop the use of children as soldiers.Phillips had raised D|S1,540 before embarking (着手)Aug. 11 and hopes to reach D|S2,000.Phillips, who is from Redmond, Washington, visited Uganda during high school and worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) there.

Students and other members of the USD community are expected to join him for the last 13 miles.“Nathans passionate commitment (恪守承诺) to improving the lives of children more than 8,000 miles away resonates (共鸣) with USDs mission to prepare future leaders to change the world for the better，” Pamela Gray Payton, assistant vice president of public affairs at USD, said in a prepared statement. “We are delighted to have Nathan as a member of our campus community.”Supporters from USD and Invisible Children will greet Phillips and his entourage (随从) when they arrive in front of Founders Hall on campus.

CAlmost everyone has heard about the Taj Mahal in India. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Over three hundred years ago, Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as the tomb for his wife. Shah Jehan wanted his wifes tomb perfect. He did not care about time or money. He brought together workmen from all Asia. Altogether, over 20,000 men worked on the buildings, and it took them twentytwo years to finish it.The building rests on a platform (平台) of red sandstone. Four thin white towers rise from the corner of the platform. A large dome (圆屋顶) rests from the center of the building. Around this large dome there are four smaller ones. The building is made of fine white and colored marble(大理石). It has eight sides and many arches. There is an open corridor (走廊) just inside the outer walls. From this corridor, the visitor looks through the marble screen to a central room. The bodies of Shah Jehan and his wife lie in a tomb below this room. A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal. The green trees make the marble look even whiter. In front of the main entrance to the building there is a long, narrow pool. If you look in this pool, you can see all the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the reflection (倒影) from the water. Many people think the Taj Mahal is most beautiful at sunset. Then the marble picks up the color of the sunset, and the building and its reflection in the pool shine like red jewels. 9According to the passage, the Taj Mahal was_.Aa famous cathedral Ba high towerCa splendid grave Da big monument10The building is based on_.Afine white and colored marble Ba platform of red sandstoneCfour thin white towers Da large dome and many arches 11According to the last paragraph, the long, narrow pool is most probably to_of the building.Athe west Bthe east Cthe north Dthe south 12Which of the following is not mentioned about the Taj Mahal?AThe structure of the tomb.BThe specific location of the tomb.CThe purpose of building the tomb.DThe material used to build the tomb.DWorldfamous violinist Itzhak Perlman was stricken with polio as a child. As a result, he wears races on both legs and walks with the aid of crutches. At_concerts,_getting_on_stage_is_no_small_achievement_for_him. He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair. He lays his crutches on the floor, slowly undoes the clasps (扣环) on his legs, puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin(下巴), nods to the conductor, and starts to play.One fall evening in 1995, while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City, Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble. Jack Reimer, a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle, described the scene. “Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant.”There was no mistaking what he had to do. People who were there said, “We figured he would have to get up .to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”But he didnt. Instead he waited a moment, closed his eyes, and then signaled the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off. He played with enthusiasm and power.Of course, it is important to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him modulate (调音)，change, recompose the piece in his head. At one point, it sounded like he was turning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.13What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?AIts a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.BIts not easy for Perlman to get on the stage.CPerlman has achieved great success on the stage.DPerlman has small achievements on the stage.14After the string broken the audience thought that Perlman would_.Aget angry at his performanceBgive up the performanceCdo something about the violinDcontinue performing with the threestring violin.15It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Perlman_.Apretended not to know that the string was brokenBthought nothing was impossibleCwas a very proud manDshowed his selfconfidence in time of trouble.任务型阅读Forget about expensive gyms! 16._ Since it started in a Paris suburb in the 1990s, freerunning has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world.Instead of walking normally, freerunners jump over or around anything cars, buildings, trees, or streetlights in their way.17_ “It was boring where we lived.There was nothing for us to do after school.We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting.We started learning how to jump and run between buildings and we loved it.Walking is a waste of time.18._ Everything a tree, a streetlight is part of our outdoor gym.Were like children because weve never stopped playing in the street.”The sports website has lots of rules.

He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street. So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesnt seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.书面表达在紧张的高三备考阶段，英语老师为了提高复习效率，广泛征求学生意见。假如你叫张华，请根据以下提示，给英语老师写封信，表达你们的需求和建议。适当放慢进度，留出思考时间反复训练重要、易错知识点指导方法减少作业量以保证质量给予更多鼓励注意：1.根据以上内容写一篇短文，不要逐句翻译，可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。2要准确使用语法和词汇；使用一定的句型、词汇，清楚、连贯地表达自己的意思。3词数100左右。开头已给出，不计入总词数。Dear Mr. Wang，Were so pleased that you are willing to share our views.In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation._答案语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。全文讲述作者帮助了一个无家可归的妇女，让一个可爱的老人看见，并给作者买了梦想中的房子，是因为作者的付出得到的回报。1选D细节理解题。从第一段的“She started coughing as she laid back on a sofa in the student lounge(休息室). Clearly, she wasnt well.”可知，那个无家可归的妇女生病了。2选A细节理解题。根据第三段的“he had overheard the conversation with the coworker about helping the sick woman”和倒数第二段的“he said it was because I was a giver and that I deserved it”可知答案。故选A。3选B词义猜测题。从本短语的意思可猜出，To make a long story short的本意是“让长故事变短”，意思是“长话短说，总而言之”。in general“一般来说”；in a word“总而言之”；in relief“如释重负”；in doubt“怀疑”。4选C推理判断题。全文讲述作者帮助了一个无家可归的妇女，让一位可爱的老人发现，并给作者买了梦想中的房子，是因为作者的付出得到的回报。语篇解读：文章主要讲述了南森菲利普斯在上大学前，骑自行车为乌干达的残疾儿童募捐的事情，引起了大家的共鸣，他的新同学也纷纷加入。5选B细节理解题。从文章的第一句话“Nathan Phillips, who will formally begin his freshman year at the University of San Diego on Aug. 31”看出A选项不正确；从文章第六段的“Phillips, who is from Redmond, Washington”看出B项是正确的；南森菲利普斯帮助乌干达的残疾儿童，他不是非洲人，故C项不正确；文章的第二段提到他骑自行车但没有说他喜欢，故D项不正确。6选C细节理解题。从文章第三段的“Phillips combined his desire to complete a long bike ride before entering college with his interest in helping the children of Uganda.”看出答案。7选B细节理解题。从文章第五段的“Phillips had raisedD|S1,540 before embarking(着手)Aug. 11 and hopes to reach D|S2,000.”看出答案。8选C推理判断题。从文章最后一段看出，人们非常支持南森菲利普斯的行为。9选C细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知答案。10选B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知B正确。11选A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，泰姬陵在日落时最美，因为它的大理石映出落日的颜色，这一建筑及其在池塘中的倒影像红宝石一样闪闪发亮。由此推断，泰姬陵是面向西的，故池塘在泰姬陵的西面。故选A。12选B推理判断题。文章第一段描写了修建泰姬陵的目的，第二段描写了它的建筑结构，第三段描写了它的建造材料，但文中没有提及它的具体位置。 语篇解读：本篇是人物故事，叙述了著名残疾人演奏家Perlman演出过程中发生的意外和他的应对措施。13选B句意推断题。这里的achievement指的就是Perlman能够做到的事情。其后的几句话展示了他上台的细节，进一步说明了一个残疾人的行动不便。14选C细节理解题。 第三段用了一个figured，即观众们“揣测；估计”。故选C。15选D推理判断题。 从Perlman后来的表现来看，应该是出于自信(他不想让演出受影响)。1620EDAFC语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加了一次周日残疾体验活动，通过对自己几个小时使用轮椅的详细记述，说明了残疾人生活的不易。文章的最后给了我们这样的启示：残疾人必须克服心理和身体上的挑战。21选C根据空白处后面的“the problems faced by disabled people”可知，活动的目的是为了“意识”到残疾人面临的问题。22选C根据下文“Some members .Others wore .”可知作者被要求“挑选”一种残疾，而不是“治愈、阻止或分析”。23选D根据最后一段第一句中的“My wheelchair experiment .”可知，作者选择使用轮椅。有些人也“像我”一样选择了轮椅。24选A 根据后句“I had never considered before how .”和这段最后一句的感慨可知，作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次“学习”的经历，而不是工作经历或令人满意、令人放松的经历。25选B根据第二段的描述可知，以前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的“笨拙”。26选D状语从句部分“As soon as I sat down .”提示，轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候，显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高或技巧，而是作者的体重。force也有“力”的意思，但表示可以做功的各种力，范围太大，所以最佳答案是D。27选A后句Then提示：本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释，显然因为轮子未被锁住。28选B根据下文“费了好长时间我才让金属footrest (脚蹬)归位”可知，这时的作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里，毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活。29选Aput .into place有“把归位”的意思。作者是健康人，他/她刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟，所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作，竟然用了很长时间。30选C作者参加的是使用轮椅几小时的体验活动，而轮椅是一种交通工具，故最佳答案是C。means of transportation “交通工具”。31选C根据第一段可知，作者参加的是残疾体验活动，使用轮椅只不过是个实验，但对残疾人而言，使用轮椅可不只是个实验，而是一辈子的生活。32选D作者努力要找一个舒服的姿势，从而被人推着四处走动是件让人放松的事，所以要找的不是“灵活的、安全的或开始的”的姿势。33选D相比空白处前面的restful，空白处后面的kind of nice显然递进了一步，所以最佳答案是even，意思是“甚至”。34选B作者坐着轮椅，自然希望被人推，而不是开车接送或引导，更不会是被人带领四处逛逛。35选A四下张望，“我”意识到只能自己搞定这件事。36选B上句中提到作者意识到没人帮忙推轮椅，只能自己搞定这件事。言外之意是，作者得让轮椅动起来。轮椅的轮子自然得转动，作者的手在轮椅转动起来的同时，开始疼，因为用手拨动轮椅才能转。37选C轮椅是一种交通工具，而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向，这是生活常识。所以，本题的正确答案是C。38选A上句提到，拨动沉重的轮子的时候，作者的手开始疼。既然轮子重，手又疼，可推知拨动轮椅不是件容易的事。39选D本题出现在最后一段的第一句话，这段正是文章总结性的段落，作者要感慨残疾人的不易，自然要到体验结束，而不是体验被遗忘、重复或实施的时候。40选BA项意为“弱点”；B项意为“挑战”；C项意为“焦虑”；D项意为“疾病”。 “我”只是“品尝”了一下残疾人必须要克服的心理和身体上的挑战。41to42.leaving43.until44.Gone45equality46.and47.an48.as49her50.replaced短文改错：第一句：去掉to第二句：livinglive第三句：whichthat；werewas第四句：Iwe第六句：bigbigger第七句：tooktakes第八句：ThereforeHowever第九句：new前加a；yearyears参考范文：Dear Mr. Wang，Were so pleased that you are willing to share our views.In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation.
