I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.“Dad, dad！” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”“Son, hold on，” he said.“No, you cant drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”“Wait, let me tell you .”“Would you like me to throw it away for you？” I asked.“Son, wait a second，” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”When I was young, I didnt have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we dont get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our classwork, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.语篇解读本文是夹叙夹议文。一瓶好酒需要多年的窖藏，作者在多年后终于明白了其中蕴含的哲理。人生也是一样，过于急功近利往往达不到所要的结果，有所准备并经过慢慢积淀后成功往往会不期而至。8Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?A. Because it smelt terrible.B. Because it was mixed with something else.C. Because his father drank too much that night.D. Because it had been kept for years.答案与解析D细节理解题。由文中“我”和父亲的对话可知这瓶酒已酿造十年，酒是陈的香，故本题选D项。9What the authors father said _.A. made the author puzzled when he was a little childB. was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the authorC. threw the author into deep thought thenD. was an excuse to drink the wine答案与解析A细节理解题。由“我”与父亲的对话及倒数第三段可知，小时候的“我”并不理解父亲所说的话。10In the authors opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will _.A. do it betterB. save much timeC. graduate from college more quicklyD. miss something useful to us in life答案与解析D细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句可知，如果我们做事太急于求成，我们会错过人生中一些重要的东西。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。Tips for healthy tripsTaking a few health precautions (预防措施) when travelling could keep you from taking an unwanted trip to the doctor.

When答案与解析语篇解读Beth在机场候机时，看到一位老先生头发凌乱，神情沮丧，她走到老先生面前为他梳理头发。这一举动深深地感动了老先生。同时，老先生与妻子的故事也同样感动了Beth。爱，会让一个人的内心获得满足和幸福。16C由上文可知，Beth在机场候机，所以这里应该是指她拿出杂志读(reading)来打发时间。17A由全文语境可知，这位老先生刚出院，身体虚弱，所以他坐着轮椅，由一名空姐推着(pushing)。18D由下文Beth为这位老先生梳头，及倒数第四段how terrible my hair looked可知，这位老先生头发很乱(mess)。19C由上文Beth对这位老先生的第一印象ugly及本句中的wrinkled可推测，Beth觉得老先生看起来一点也不(not . at all)友善。20A“Beth被老先生吸引了”与之前老先生给她的印象构成转折关系，故选but。21B根据上文“Beth didnt know why”可知，毫无缘由地(For no reason)，她想给老先生梳头。22DBeth主动走上前要帮助老先生梳头，故May I have the honour of doing .(我能有幸)结构符合此处语境。23B从下文Beth更大声地问同一个问题可以推知，Beth以为老先生听力(hearing)有问题。24D根据Again可以推知，Beth重复了(repeated)前面的问题。25C突然有人主动提出要为自己梳头，老先生自然很困惑(confused)。26ABeth为老先生梳头梳了很长时间，此处用worked表示梳头这一“工作”。27B由上文for a long time可推测，Beth已经为老先生梳头梳了很长时间，所以这里指就在她要梳完的时候，老先生哭了起来。故finish up(结束；完成)符合语境。28D由全文不难得知，Beth对这位老先生很好，故此处温柔地(softly)看着老先生的眼睛，符合全文语境。29C由老先生坐着轮椅，且在医院里待了将近两个月的事实可推测，他做了一个特殊的手术(operation)。30A本空后引号里的内容是老先生接着上文所说的话，故added(继续说)符合语境。31D由上半句老先生说自己担心头发看起来很糟糕可知，他不想让妻子看到自己看起来(looking)头发乱糟糟的。32B当老先生谢谢(thanked) Beth为他梳头时，他泪流满面。33C见下一题解析。34A听完老先生的话，Beth感动得哭了(cried)，那位空姐也(also)哭了起来。35A根据下文Beth的回答可知，空姐问Beth她为什么(Why)那么做。第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(每空不多于三个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在相应位置上。A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a pit (坑). When the other frogs saw how 36._ (depth) the pit was, they told the two frogs 37._ (trap) in the pit that they would surely die. The two frogs didnt listen to the others and tried to jump out of the pit with all 38._ strength. The other frogs kept discouraging them from 39._ (jump). Finally, one of the frogs got 40._ (depress) and gave up, so he died.The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even 41._ (hard) and finally made himself out. When 42._ got out, the other frogs said, “Didnt you hear us？” The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they 43._ (inspire) him the whole time.There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone 44._ is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But 45._ encouraging word can go such a long way.答案与解析36deep根据空格前的how及空格后的the pit was可知空格处应填形容词deep。37trapped所填词在句中作定语修饰frogs, trap与其逻辑主语two frogs为被动关系，故填过去分词形式作定语。38their根据with all ones strength“用尽某人的气力”的用法可知该空填their。39jumping根据discourage sb. from doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”的用法可知该空填动名词形式jumping。40depressed所填词在句中作系动词got的表语，表“沮丧的；心灰意冷的”，故填depressed。41harder根据空格前的比较级修饰语even，及句意“他更加努力的跳并最终跳出来”，可知该空填比较级harder。42hehe用在此处指代跳出坑的青蛙。43were inspiring所填词在句中作谓语，表过去一段时间内一直发生的动作，故用过去进行时态。44who/that先行词是someone，空格后面的从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词who/that引导定语从句。45anan encouraging word“一句鼓励的话语”。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。Yesterday I read an article about a eating competition to be holding next month.
