the past? we all have those life lessons that could have _1_ significantly to our personal growth if only we had known them _2_.when i was 8 years old i was told i had leukemia (白血病). although it is _3_ for a child to have cancer, i was somewhat lucky because i was unaware of the overall _4_ of it. sure, i was sick, but i _5_.two years later i had a relapse (复发), and it was much harder to _6_ it the second time. after receiving all kinds of treatments and a series of operations, i _7_ recovered. and im here 13 years later to tell my story.because of _8_ the above things at a young age, ive learned things no other child gets the opportunity to. if i could go back and give my 8yearold self _9_， id say：“bryce, what you are about to experience is going to be one of the _10_ things anyone could face. youre going to have days when your body is so weak that others will have to _11_ you so that you can eat, drink, or sit up. youll be so _12_ that for a year you wont be able to go outside or in public unless you wear a mask.”“that sounds bad, but it doesnt compare with what youll learn because of it. youll learn that no matter what bad things _13_ to you, you should make a good life out of what is left. youll learn that you can never judge a person because you just dont know what _14_， illnesses, or trials theyve been through.”to this day, my cancer experience works as a reminder that difficulties are not all bad, and i hope to live up to the _15_ i have of my personal growth. how about you? i hope the life lessons ive shared can help you reflect on your own.1a.

thought to be a _16_ (create) source of inspiration. _17_， psychologists say that loneliness is more harmful than poetic. loneliness can be _18_ dangerous to your health as smoking and obesity, according to some experts. lack of connection with _19_ not only makes people unhappy, but it is also bad for the wellbeing of the body and mind. _20_ sense of rejection or isolation increases blood pressure, stress levels and general wear and tear as well as increasing your chances of developing alzheimers disease. blood pressure is 16 points higher in lonely people over 65, _21_ can reduce their longterm health, according to the loneliness researcher louise hawkley from the university of chicago. research also shows that people _22_ large circles of friends enjoy longer lives than those _23_ have few friends around. length of life increases _24_ 22 percent among people 70 and older with many friendships, according to some study. those _25_ (want) to live a long healthy life should perhaps take the scientists advice, and enjoy making many friendships while the sun shines.第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。awhen i was in the third grade, my mom and i helped found a motherdaughter book club. my mom joined hands with the four mothers of my best friends, and together we created the club. my mom felt she and the other chosen mothers could raise us together in a special and meaningful way, with the good values and confidence that are necessary for us to become strong young women.we wanted to form a book club, specifically, because we all had a passion for reading. the discussions during the meetings often begin with conversations about problems in the text that the main character encounters and overcomes, and shift to conversations about similar problems we have experienced and dealt with while growing up. we can share our feelings and experiences with one another. i have always loved this aspect of our meetings.our book club still maintains the same structure it has had for almost six years, with few exceptions. we meet on the first friday of every month for dinner and a book discussion, and we take turns hosting the meeting at our houses. the hosting daughter makes up questions and leads the discussion. my favorite tradition is going to a hotel and staying there for a night for the first meeting of the year in october. it gives us a chance to reconnect after the summer vacation, share our favorite summer read, and plan the list of books for the upcoming year.when we first started the club, the mothers created the reading list, choosing books that have strong female characters. now that the girls are teenagers, we all work together to give input into forming the list. we are now in our sixth year together, and our meetings have always been, and will remain, a highlight of my month. regardless of how busy our lives are or how many times we have to reschedule the meeting date, we try never to miss a month.26what do we know about the other mothers in the club?atheyre better at educating children than the authors mother.bthey came up with the idea of founding the club.ctheir children are the authors good friends.dthey are the best friends of the authors mother.27we can learn from the second paragraph that _.anot all of the children in the book club like readingbthe author tries to experience the same problems as the characters in the bookscthe problems the children experience while growing up are the main topic of their discussionsdthe author likes sharing her feelings and experiences with others in the club28meetings of the book club are often held _.aat big hotels bat the members homescduring summer vacations dat the end of every year29what does the author think of the club meetings?ashe thinks they should hold fewer meetings.bshe regards them as an important part of her life.cshe believes they should organize more activities for the meetings.dshe thinks the meeting date shouldnt be changed whatever happens.30what would be the best title for the passage?amotherdaughter book clubs enrich reading and relationships.btips for founding your own motherdaughter book club.cbooks that young girls should read with their mothers.draise your children in a special and meaningful way.bwe know the famous ones the thomas edisons and the alexander graham bells but what about the less famous inventors? what about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? shouldnt we know who they are?joan mclean thinks so. in fact, mclean, a professor of physics at mountain university in range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. in addition to learning “who” invented “what”， however, mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. according to mclean, “when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”her students agree. one young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of mcleans statement. “if i had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention，” said tommy lee, a senior physics major，“i never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.so, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? well, mary anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to new york city. the day was cold and stormy, but anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. still wondering about this when she returned home to birmingham, alabama, anderson started drafting out solutions. one of her ideas, a lever(操杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. its hard to imagine driving without garrett a. morgans traffic light. its equally impossible to picture a world without katherine j. blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?31by mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”， the author indicates that countless inventions are_.abeneficial, because their inventors are famousbbeneficial, though their inventors are less famouscnot useful, because their inventors are less famousdnot useful, though their inventors are famous32professor joan mcleans course aims to _.aadd colour and variety to students campus lifebinform students of the windshield wipers inventionccarry out the requirements by mountain universitydprepare students to try their own invention33tommy lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _.anot eventually accepted by the umbrella producerbinspired by the story behind the windshield wipercdue to his dream of being caught in a rainstormdnot related to professor joan mcleans lectures34the windshield wiper was invented by _.amary anderson bjoan mcleancgarrett a. morgan dtommy lee35which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?ahow to help students to sell their inventions to producers?bhow to design a builtin device for cleaning the window?cshouldnt we know who invented the windshield wiper?dshouldnt we develop invention courses in universities?cwhat a newspaper includes is decided by its editors. the managing editor decides which stories are newsworthy and gives reporters their tasks. to an editor, there are two kinds of news: hard news, such as the election (选举) of a president, and soft news. soft news includes stories about a new dance craze, a beautiful historic building, or an interesting person. the soft news fills whatever space is left after the hard news is put into the newspaper space. there is also public service news to fit in information about meetings and lectures, free health programs, or changes in a local librarys hours.the managing editor decides how important a story is. if a story is very important, it is marked for a headline on the front page. less important stories appear farther back in the gaper. the story editor takes a story and decides to “boil or trim it”. if the editor decides to boil a story, it becomes frontpage news. a story that is trimmed is written in a shorter article.depending on the size of a paper, there may be a sports editor, a business editor, or an art editor. on a small weekly paper, an editor may cover two or more of these areas. once all the stories are written, they are given to a copy editor, who corrects any mistakes and fits the articles into the newspapers format (版式)the makeup editor, with the managing editor, usually decides how the paper will look. this editors job is to decide whether a page will carry two stories and four ads or six stories and one ad. editors may rewrite or redesign many of the pages as more stories come from the pressroom.36an example of hard news is _.athe election of a president ba story about a historic buildingca new fashion in clothes dinformation about health programs37where a news story is put in the newspaper depends on _.aits length bits style cits importance dits title38what does the underlined word “trim” in the second paragraph mean?areduce in size. bincrease in length.cbeautify in appearance. dchange in shape.39correcting the mistakes of all the articles is the work of _.amakeup editors bcopy editors cmanaging editors dbusiness editors40whats the purpose of the passage?ato persuade people to work as editors.bto tell the readers how editors are educated.cto introduce some famous editors.dto show how a newspaper is made.dthe dead sea has played an important role in the human cultures surrounding it throughout human history. it is a salt lake in the middle east, bordered by jordan and israel. very small for a “sea”， the dead sea is 42 miles long and 11 miles wide at its widest point. the jordan river flows into it; no water flows out.the dead seas most notable natural features are its height compared to sea level and its salinity (盐度). at 1,385 feet below sea level, the dead sea and the land around its banks are the lowest point on earth that is not beneath the surface of a body of water. the salinity of the dead sea is 33.7% (compared to 3%4% for the worlds oceans). the high salt content means that there are no fish or other animals or plants in the dead sea.on the north end of the dead sea is jericho, which some historians identify as the oldest continuously inhabited place in the world, with a settlement there as long as 11,000 years ago. those living around the dead sea have long benefited from it, as its water and mud can be used as medicine or as cosmetics (化妆品). throughout christian history, the distant dead sea area has been a place of pilgrimage (朝圣) for those who believe in gods and many temples have been built there.in modern times, the dead sea has been used as a source of minerals valuable to agriculture and industry. it continues to attract tourists. the water is used in the treatment of skin diseases. there are a number of health hospitals and hot springs along its shores.41what can we learn from the first paragraph?athe dead sea has a bad effect on human cultures.bthe dead sea is
