Being grateful（感激的）is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom. 11 is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. We should learn 12 to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously 13 try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated（失意的, 沮丧的）and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves 14 a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. 15 you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own 16 in the end. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, well be able to get rid 17 impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us 18 better and more beautiful life.Reading Comprehension Directions: Read the following three passages., Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. 2010 was the year the Earth struck back. Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards(暴风雪), landslides(滑坡)and droughts killed at least a quarter million people in 2010-the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.“It just seemed like it was back-to-back (接二连三) and it came waves,” said Craig Fugate, who heads the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.“The term 100-year event really lost its meaning this year.” And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.Even though many disasters seem accidental, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and strange year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.Poor construction and development practices make earthquake more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable building (危房) in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes the river breaches(攻破), or the tropical cyclone (旋风) hits, more people die.The January earthquake that killed well more than 220000 people in Haita is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people, many of them living in poverty, and more poorly built shanties (棚户区) than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010, total deaths would have probably been in the 80 000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.Climate scientists say Earths climate also is changing thanks to man-made global warning, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.The excessive (过多的) amount of extreme weather of 2010 is a clear sign of man-made global warning that climate scientists have long warned about. They calculate that the killer Russian heat wave -setting a national record of 111 degrees - would happen once every 100000 years without global warning.Preliminary (之前的) data show that 18 counties broke their records for the hottest day ever.White House science adviser John Holdren said we should get used to climate disasters or do something about global warning. The science is clear that we can expect more and more of these kinds of damaging events unless and until societys emissions of heat-trapping (吸热的)gases and particles are sharply reduce.19.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? AHow the Earth struck back in 2010.B. Why the Earth struck back. CHow terrorism attacks struck.D. What natural disaster mean to us.20.What does the underlined word it refer to in the third paragraph?A Earthquake.B. The Earth.C. 2010D. Natural disaster.21.What do the fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs mainly tell us?A. The reason why there were so mainly disasters in 2010. B. The way that natural disasters happened. C. The way that man built buildings. D. The way that people lived.22.What is the way to cut back on the number of natural disasters?A. To build stronger houses. BTo develop less.C. To reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases and particles greatly.D. To forecast the happening of natural disasters correctly.23.Why did the writer give the example of the earthquake that happened in Haiti? ATo show more peoples living in vulnerable building can cause more people to die in an earthquake. BTo show Haiti is a poor country. CTo show Port-au-Prince is too crowded. DTo show mans forecast ability of an earthquake reduced.英语答案1 B.。 Neither含有“两者都不”之意，一方对应另一方，故用the other指“两者中的另一 smooth over 意为“ 缓和，减轻”， be prepared to do = be ready to = be willing to 2 D。 seldom为否定副词，放于句首时，用部分倒装。句意为“我们因笑话而笑，但很少去思考笑话怎样让我们笑。”3 C。 句意为：“去年寒假，我做了大量自愿者工作，这结果证明是一个明智的决定。”which代替前边整个句子。4 D。 句意：交通法则规定四岁以下并且体重不超过四十磅的婴儿必须坐在婴儿安全座上。填入的非谓语在句中作定语修饰young children。由于weigh与名词children是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以选择weighing。注意：-ing除了表示正在进行的动作，还表示经常性的动作, 或现在 (或当时) 的状态。如： They lived in a room facing (= that faced) the south. The house standing (= that stands) at the corner of the street was built in 1955.5 A。 分词作伴随状语。这时一般不用完成时，故D不对。如填C, 前面应有and。不定式表目的或结果，句子意思不通。6 B。 句意：Mary和她的弟弟一样刻苦，但考试老不及格。No lessthan : “在方面不比.差”；no more than: “和.一样不.”; less.than.: “比. 差/少”；not morethan: “不比更.; 不及”。7 A。 句意：由于雨雪，再加上冬天用煤电的增加，确保煤电供应的任务变得之分的严峻。 Due to：因为/由于；In case of：假设, 万一；Regardless of ：不管/不顾/忽视；For fear of：担心/因为怕8 A。 句意：耐心一点儿，你不能期望他这么快就适应这儿的生活。 cant在此题中表示劝慰。9 D。 此题考宾语从句。“whetheror”表示“是.还是”10 C。根据题干中的时间状语between 7 and 8 this evening可知，选项动作是在将来某个时刻正在进行的，故应选用将来进行时， 口语中常用这种时态表示将来某时刻正在进行的动作或发生的事。11.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Healthy food makes a healthy mind. Food has a great effect on mind. Your mind is housed in your brain and your brain is part of your body. Whatever you feed your body affects your brain, and therefore if affects your mind and then your mood. You know that what you have been eating has not worked so well, but you wouldnt like to change most of your eating habits along with most of what you put into your body and consequently your mind. Whats more, when you find that most people around you have been eating the same all of their lives, you then find a good reason to refuse the change. Do eating habits really matter so much? Are eating habits really harming us? Compared with eating habits, your own emotional and mental well-being is more important anyway. So make a change. If dont feel well, you need a change in your diet. Avoid quick, processed food; get close to natural foods, including whole grain, fresh vegetables, fruit, soya(大豆) products like tofu (but not soya oil), fish, nuts and seeds, from which you can get vitamins, amino acids(氨基酸), protein, and many others that you need. Get rid of most sugars and simple carbohydrates(碳水化合物) together with all caffeine. Eat foods containing a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids, such as eggs, and seaweed to take the place of the essential fatty acids in your brain. And do fall into the habit of eating breakfast every day! The change will lead to real and lasting health of minds and moods. Do this and harvest the reawards in how you feel, think, and look at life. The recommendations given here are not intended to replace medical advice. If you are experiencing depression or any form of mental illness, go to see your doctor.TitleHealthy food makes 23._24._Your mind comes from your brain which is part of your body, so your mind is 25._ by the food your body blemsHaving no willingness to change 26._Using others eating habits as a(n) 27._ to refuse a diet changerecommendationsEating whole grain, fresh vegetables, fruit, soya products and other natural foods that you needAvoiding most sugars and simple carbohydrates 28._ all caffeine.Eating foods 29._ Omega-3 fatty acids to replace the essential fatty acids in your brain30_ of eating breakfast every dayResultThe change will make you 31_ both mentally and emotionallyNote If you are suffering from depression or any mental illness, you need to 32._英语答案1. B。 考查非谓语动词。此处为定语从句成分，因与所修饰的名词photo 之间构成了被动关系，排除了A 和C; 该动作已经完成，因此使用过去分词形式。2. C。考查时态。从问话人请求重复已讲的内容可知，答话人认为在刚才讲话时对方没有注意到所讲的内容，该选项强调在过去某个时刻正在进行，即讲话的当时，故用过去进行时。3. C。 考查V-ing 形式的用法。分析此句的结构很重要。 Not listening 与前面的asking 为并列的动名词短语，作介词of的宾语。4. D。 考查定语从句。句子“_ a driver who accidently killed a pet dog was made to kneel before the dead animal for hour by its owner” 是个定语从句，且从句内容完整，incident为表模糊的地点，故选择D。5. C。 如果So置于句首，应用倒装语序；worry多作不及物动词。表示 “担心什么” 用worry about 或 be worried about. Worry作及物动词时表“使担心，使发愁”e.g. there is somehing worring him. 或His absence worries me.6. D。 考查主谓一致。High-level talents为复数名词主语。而不是experience.7. B。 考查倍数的表达方式。根据倍数的表达方式：倍数+the+N. +of 8. D。 考查祈使句的用法。固定句型：祈使句+and/or+陈述句。9. B。 考查情态动词。根据yesterday 与was的暗示，动作发生在过去。因此用情态动词+have done来表示。Should have done 表本不应该10. C。 考查连词。When有“本该而却”。11. B。 B答案为David出现在候诊室。 C“漫步”.12. A。 因为前文提到David looked like a frightened rabbit. “ 他看上去就像一只受惊了小兔子。”。 所以此处为“紧张地颤抖着。”13.C。 refuse to do “ 拒绝做”. 下文第四段也有提示：“we play chess every Wednesday afternoonsilently.”14. B。 15. A。16. A。 enjoy ones company “乐于与某人交往”. Company 在此处为“陪同,交往”17. C。 我与他没有语言沟通，所以无法共享秘密。而答案B，D则更不可能。因为David父母过世，所以极有可能他仍沉浸在悲痛中。18. A。 wonder “想知道，好奇”； explain “解释”； compare “比较”; check “检查”. 19. B。20. A。in return “作为报答，回报”; on purpose “ 故意地”; on earth “究竟”; by accident “偶然地”21. C。 22. C。 23. a healthy mind 第一段第一句话。主题句。 24.
