She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism (种族歧视)Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supplement (增补) my living expenses.Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However, I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in this manner. As I was about to leave, a client (职员) in the building, who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later, he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.I was a little confused, but had a good feeling about him and so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历). The man stopped at his business partners office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.1Which of the following was NOT a reason why the authors mother was worried?A.

Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of fire”. Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?The earth is made up of many layers. The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust there are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks (裂缝) in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.5Where does the melted rock come from?A. The top layer. B. The crust.C. Far beneath the crust. D.

This afternoon Im standing in the middle of the northern Black Forest, with Rainer Sanger.Rainer: Good afternoon, Sarah.Sarah: Rainer, youre very concerned 36._ this area of the forest, are you? Can you tell us why?Rainer: Well, much of the forest 37._ (wipe) out in the terrible storm last winter, 38._ you can see. Many of the trees are dead, and more are dying because of the damage. We believe 39._ the government isnt doing enough right now to make this beautiful forest 40._ (get) into its former state.Sarah: I see.

We would just act like their guidance we can provide volunteers to work on 45._ forest.答案与解析36aboutbe concerned about sth.“担心/关心某事”。37was wiped所给词在句中作谓语且根据句中时间状语last winter 可知动词应用一般过去时态，且wipe与其逻辑主语the forest 为被动关系故空处填was wiped。38asas “正如”引导非限制性定语从句代替前面整句话的内容。 39thatthat 引导宾语从句。40getmake . do . “让做某事”。41We空格处在句中作主语且与下文的we 呼应。42disappointing所给词在句中作表语且表“令人失望的”，应填disappointing。43But空格所在句与上面一句为转折关系且空格后无逗号，故填But。but 表转折。44actually所给词在本句中作状语，故本处填actual的副词形式actually。45thethe forest 特指前面提到的森林。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(每小题1分，满分10分)英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，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。3必须按答题要求做题，否则不给分。Tom is a senior two students who devotes himself to his lessons every day.
