hands blackened from digging in the ground.as a child, i loved following dad around in the garden, i remember dad pushing the tiller（耕作机）ahead in perfectly straight lines. dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow com, and our favorite red tomatoes.as i grew into a teenager, i didnt get so excited about gardening with dad. instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. as dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. after all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, dad turned to gardening like never before. even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.but then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. i had to do the things he used to do. what really convinced me that dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. the rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. he only planted tomatoes.for the first few years after he died, i couldnt even bear to look at anyones garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. three years ago, i decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. that morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the comer of my eye and i had to smile. it was my eight-year-old son nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.24. why did the author like the garden when he was a child?a. the garden was planted with colorful flowers.b. the garden

dacb【文章大意】文章介绍作者的爸爸对园艺的爱和执着，以及父亲去世后，作者接替了爸爸的爱好。24.d 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章前两段可知作者小时候喜欢花园的原因是喜欢和父亲一起在花园里，所以答案是d。25.a 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的after all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, dad

bounced around from one position to another, never sure when his last day would be. sometimes, he lost a position with less than a days notice. this wasnt due to a poor work ethicfrom arriving early to staying late, miles says he did everything he could to build a good relationship with employers. but because miles had a criminal record, he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go.it wasnt until october 2015, nearly a decade after his release from prison, that a cousin told miles about lancaster food company, a local business that focuses on hiring people released from prison. hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future, miles submitted an application. he got an interview, and he then began a new job.miles scenario is rare in lancaster, where the poverty rate holds steady at 30%. this figure riled charlie crystle, lancasters co-founder and ceo. crystle was raised in lancaster but left in 1986 to purse a college degree and later, a career in technology. he co-founded four tech companies, one of which sold for millions of dollars back in 2000.crystle is skeptical that many of lancasters low-income residents can get started the way he did. he believes food production is a key way to meet former offenders who may lack a college degree. lancaster produces products like bread. nowadays the company is rapidly expanding; however, at just 16 full-time employees, including administration and owners, it doesnt lower the citys poverty rate.crystle says he wants to inspire other companies to rethink their current practices and start conversations around minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone, including ex-offenders. dan jurman, who chairs the citys commission to combat poverty, believes that crystles business is a great way to make this happen. “none of us can handle these issues alone,” he said.28.the purpose of the first paragraph is to show .a. a mans difficulty in living a stable lifeb. an increasingly competitive workplacec. a decrease in employment opportunitiesd. the reason why lancaster food company was founded29.what does the underlined word riled in paragraph 3 most probably mean?a. annoyed. b. discouraged. c. amused. d. embarrassed.30.what words can best describe charlie crystle according to the text?a. outgoing, kind and considerate. b. wealthy but a little bit greedy.c. humorous, diligent and ambitious. d. successful and socially responsible.31.in dan jurmans opinion, what is the biggest achievement of lancaster food company?a. it greatly increases employment opportunities.b. it suggests an idea for fighting poverty.c. it provides a way to handle ex-offenders.d. it creates a stable environment for people.2831 dadbddo you have imagination? do you like to solve problems? can you? if so, you could be the next great inventor. but im just a kid, you might say! dont worry about a little thing like age. for example, one famous inventor benjamin franklin got his start when he was only 12. at that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers! so you dont have to be an adult to be an inventor. one thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.so what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? talk to a friend or family member about it. get input from others about your idea. then ask them to help you create a working model called a prototype(原型) of your idea.once you have a prototype, you can test it. sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. at other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.if your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. you will also want an adults help to get a patent(专利权) for your idea, so that it is protected and cant be stolen by someone else. if you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions:jeanie low invented the kiddie stool when she was just 11. its a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.at the age of 15, louis braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.chelsea lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the pocket diaper, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 32. by saying but im just a kid, you probably means you .a. are too young to achieve anythingb. can do anything though you are youngc. are old enough to become an inventord. have to learn knowledge from other people33. kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they .a. would like to make friends with others b. usually work hard at their lessons at schoolc. like playing all kinds of toys at homed. think about things in quite different ways34. who invented something that helps the blind to read?a. jeanie low. b. benjamin franklin.c. chelsea lanmon. d. louis braille.35. which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. kids have curiosity and imagination. there are some world famous inventors.c. kids are exactly like adults in a way.d. it is possible for kids to be inventors.32-35 addd【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。你有想象力吗？有能力解决难题吗？不要以自己是孩子为借口，frankin，braille，lanmon就是成功的榜样。 32.a 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的dont worry about a little thing like age.等语境可知，你这么说是想表明你太小，还获得不了任何成就。33.d 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.可知，这是因为他们思考、看待问题的方式不同。how to make plansmost people get scared when talking about

caged【语篇解读】本文就如何制定计划提出了一些建议。1.c 【解析】根据后一句and you need to plan for success（你需要制定计划来获得成功）可知，计划和成功之间的关系，而c项正好有这两个关键词，人们以有计划的方式行事就更有可能成功，故选c项。2.a 【解析】根据本段第一句what plans have you had in the past?问过去的计划，故本段的标题是关于过去的计划，a项有关键词：historical plans，故答案为a。3.g 【解析】根据空格前一句because not everything just goes smoothly as you believe（并不是每件事都如你想的那样顺利），因此为了防止意外事件的发生，得多制定几个计划，正如g项中的plan a and plan b，g项意思与前一句衔接紧密，故选g。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。in my childhood, i envied my classmates very much as my absence from

acdca2.b本段叙述作者小时候的事情，故用b项used to（过去常常）。a项need to do需要做，c项agree to do同意做，d项ought to应该。3.d结合前文，父母亲一直不让作者缺课，是引导作者要有良好的职业道德。a项different不同的，b项reliable可靠的，c项standard标准的，均不符合题意。4.b直到上周我才明白父母不让我缺课并引导我有良好职业道德的意义（significance），故选b项。a项evidence证据，c项answer答案，d项result结果。5.d根据下文该男子和朋友的交谈内容可知，该男子向朋友抱怨自己的生活，故选d项complain，complain to sb. about向抱怨。a项writing写，b项explaining解释，c项reflecting反应，均不合题意。6.c与名词dream搭配，应用follow，表追寻梦想，故选c项。a项support支持， b项make制作，d项change改变。7.a该男子不回去追寻自己当导演的梦想，因为他不知道他是否能赚到足够的钱，have no idea是固定短语，表不知道，相当于dont know，故选a项。b项doubt怀疑，c项evidence证据，d项sign迹象。8.c由下文because it probably would take months or years to可知，他不想浪费时间（time），故选c项。a项luck运气，b项money钱，d项opportunity机会。9.c根据句子结构，该空后的it和big分别是该动词后的宾语和宾补，四个选项中可以加宾语和宾补的只有make，故选c项。a项take带走，b项promote提升；促进，d项create创造。10.d 依据下文taking pictures is good because you can make big money and only work short hours.可知，该男子承认考虑过要成为一名摄影师（photographer），故选d项
