第二部分 阅读理解（版权：百强校英语解析团队专供）(共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题;每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Dear Daughters,
Most parents tell their children, this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.
Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur（企业家）and from your mama.
1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the way
In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I'm creative, a strong leader, and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit(非营利的). Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag（储奶袋）business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.
Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind, the initial(最初的) path you choose may lead you into other areas.
Don't waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.
2. Failure is critical to your success
I won't tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better.
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I've never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.
Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It's okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.
I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love,
Your Mom
21. The author believes that the following factors contribute to a dream EXCEPT .

22. What can we know about the author?
A. She is a successful politician and entrepreneur.
B. She used to work as a model.
C. She doesn’t think it good to change one’s profession.
D. She values a lot about her experience of failing in the exam.
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Kindness is rewarding.
B. It’s important to learn about yourself.
C. One should not often ask for help but depend on himself.
D. Stick to your way until you succeed.
B
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old. It was pouring
outside. We all stood there under the awning(雨篷) and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We
waited, some patiently, others annoyed as nature damaged their hurried day. I am always attracted by
rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the
world. At that moment, the girl’s voice was so sweet that it broke the atmosphere that we were all
caught in.
"Mom, let's run through the rain." she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning." the young girl said as she dragged at
her Mom's arm."
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!' "
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood
silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about
what she would say. “Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well
maybe we just needed washing.” Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars. They held their shopping
bags over their heads just in case they got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and
laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money,
and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't
forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
To everything there is a reason and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the
time to run through the rain.
24. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “get soaked” ?
A. get discouraged B. get injured C. get wet from top to toe D. get lost
25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some people were not pleased with the rain while waiting there.
B. The girl’s father was suffering from a severe disease.
C. Inspired by the girl and her mother, some people followed them and ran to their cars.
D. The girl was too young to put father’s illness in mind.
26. The writer writes the story mainly for the purpose of .
A. reminding us to listen carefully to other people talking
B. advising us to run bravely in the heavy rain
C. encouraging us to have a mind to make memories
D. criticizing people for their failing to enjoy everyday life
C
The poorer mental function seen among alcoholics，many of whom also regularly smoke
cigarettes, may be partly due to the long-term effects of nicotine(尼古丁), new research suggests.
“People who are also smokers are at a much higher risk.” Dr. Jennifer M. Glass，of the University of Michigan's Addiction Research Center said. “Cigarette smoking has bad effect on IQ and thinking.”
she said.
This finding may seem counterintuitive (违反直觉的), since many smokers show that they feel quicker and focused after smoking. Indeed, research shows that improved mental functioning is one of the immediate effects of nicotine exposure. Chronic(长期的) smoking, however, is known to have the opposite effect.
Studies show that up to 87 percent of alcoholics smoke cigarettes. Yet, few studies have looked into cigarette smoking as a factor that might explain the cognitive(认识的) lack reported among alcoholics. To search for that association, Glass and her colleagues examined brain function among 172 men from the same area, including 103 men who abused alcohol. The team found that men with higher scores on the lifetime alcohol problems scale (LAPS) and those who reported a higher number of pack -- years of smoking both had lower IQ scores. Upon further research, the researchers found that smoking also appeared to be independently associated with weaker word and space reasoning.
Thus, though smoking did not account for all of the decreased mental functioning observed among the alcohol abusers, it did seem to account for some of the effects, the report indicates.
27. What is the main idea conveyed in the new research?
A．Alcohol abuse should take the blame for people’s poorer mental function.
B．Cigarette smoking does have bad effect on mental function.
C．In most cases alcoholics are also heavy smokers.
D．Non-smokers enjoy better mental function.
28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A．Long-lasting smoking harms mental functioning.
B．Smoking has an immediate influence on mental functioning.
C．Smoking can improve mental functioning in a long term.
D．Habitual smokers feel quicker and more focused after smoking.
29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Cigarette smoking is not linked to reasoning.
B．Lower scores on the LAPS are related to lower scores in IQ.
C．Nicotine exposure results in alcoholics in the long run..
D．Exposure to nicotine can contribute to better mental functioning temporarily.
30．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Many alcoholics suffer a great deal from smoking
B．The men examined in Glass’ research are addicted to alcohol
C．All the cases of decreased mental functioning are not related to smoking
D．Alcoholics who do not smoke much have higher IQ scores

根据短文内容，从短文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。
Cleaning is a delicate subject for all of us -- I seldom met a person who likes to clean the house.
Cleaning is a chore which most of us delay as much as possible. Even if you do know that a clean house has a lot of benefits for your wellness, from making you happier, more likely to exercise to giving you a sense of accomplishment, cleaning remains one of the most unpleasant tasks. 31. _____ ___________.
1. Learn to let go
This is the most important lesson I found when I last cleaned my house: Let go! Remember how
stylists say that if you have never worn certain clothing in the past year, just let it go? Well, the same
goes for dealing with relationships in your life. 32. ________________. If a relationship fails to bring
you joy, just let it go. But …
2. Do hold onto really important things
As important as it is to let go, hold on to things which bring you joy and beautify your life. If your old pair of sneakers is still making you feel like you can conquer the world, keep them, even if you don't actually wear them outside. 33. ________________. If they fill your heart with joy, keep them! That brings me to the next point.
34. ________________.
When it's cleaning time, you can find out what really matters to you. You will be amazed to discover some small things that mean a lot to you. When you start cleaning the desk or the drawers, you will stumble upon lots of small decorative objects. In my case, I found how much a small piece of paper meant, when I wanted to throw away something that turned out to be a treasured map. A long time ago, this small map of Dublin was the only memory I had of a dear friend I met in Dublin. The
map always reminded me of time I spent in Dublin with my dear friend So, instead of throwing it
away, I framed it and displayed it on my desk. The lesson of the day: sometimes small things matter
the most.
4. Everyone Hides a Mess
When you finally get serious about your cleaning, you will discover plenty of places you haven't
cleaned in ages. Everyone has some kind of hidden mess. And that mess is not only behind the stove, it can be something that causes communication problems between you and your partner. 35. ___ _____________. It can even be that dirty secret which leads to your divorce. It's normal to have hidden messes in your life, but one day you need to deal with them. The sooner, the better. Take your courage and scrub all the dirt from your life.
5. Never give up
Cleaning might be hard and unpleasant, but never give up. This is probably the most important lesson you can learn from it. No matter how hard it is, the most important in life is to keep going. Push yourself one more step ahead and you will achieve your goal.
A. Sometimes small things are the most important
B. It can be the reason you don't speak with your parents anymore.
C. But when you do dive into cleaning head first, you can learn a lot of life lessons.
D. Do not get troubled on small things.
E. The same goes for people and relationships in your life.
F. Partners help a lot in solving such problems.
G.
As I was giving away my old skirts and never-worn pants from my last year in college, I realized
I had to let go of some people in my life too.
第三部分：语言运用（版权：百强校英语解析团队专供）（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）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D)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。
Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. And 36 this, one of Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President
Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying," Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 37 me. I'm all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not 38 me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things 39 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man 40 me who became a thief …"
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had such three
reasons to be so 41 . This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time 42 he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and 43 and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become 44 and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, 45
again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, "Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and 46 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 47 in the end. When we are successful, we can 48 have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
I think we should even be grateful to life 49 we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get 50 and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus (动力) to 51 . We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life 52 just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy 53 to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not 54 from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and 55 .

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
On the Christmas of 1949 we didn’t have a tree. My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn't just say that we couldn't afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn't afford one, and even if we could, it was stupid to decorate your house with a dead tree. I wanted a tree badly and I thought that if we had one, everybody would feel better.
About three days before Christmas, I was out collecting for my paper route. It was fairly late—long after dark and it was snowing and very cold. I went to an apartment building to try to catch a customer who hadn’t paid me for my newspapers for nearly two months -- she owed me seven dollars. Much to my surprise, she was at home. She invited me in, and not only did she pay me, but also gave me a dollar tip! It was a windfall for me--I now had eight whole dollars. What happened next was totally unplanned. On the way home, I walked past a Christmas tree shop and an idea hit me.
There was a real nice tree. It had been a very expensive tree and no one had bought it. Now it was so close to Christmas that the man was afraid no one would buy it. He wanted ten dollars for it, but when I -- in my childish innocence -- told him I only had eight, he said he might sell it for that. I really didn't want to spend the whole eight dollars on the tree, but it was so pretty that I finally agreed.
I dragged it all the way home, about a mile. Along the way I tried hard not to damage it or break off any branches. It was still in pretty good shape when I got home. I propped(支撑) it up against the railing(栅栏) on our front porch(走廊) and went in.
Paragraph 1:
My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise. _________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________
Paragraph 2:
Dad and I brought the tree in and we made a stand for it. ________________ __ ___________

My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise. I’d been picturing my dad’s furious face a million times on my way home, as he valued his self-esteem too much to accept that his son purchased something he couldn’t afford. But I still didn't dare to look him in the eye. After I told them I spent the eight whole dollars on it, the house sank into silence, with only the sound of the drifting rustling Christmas snow. Obviously, they were shocked. I was almost sure I made a stupid deal until I heard Mum shout, “WOW! That’s the best surprise I’ve ever received from my son!”
Dad and I brought the tree in and we made a stand for it. It was undeniably the most beautiful Christmas tree, gigantic as a hill, upright as a soldier. While decorating it, I stole a glimpse at my dad, and to my surprise, he had tears in his eyes. And I could tell those were tears of joy. That was the first time I had felt like I did something great.
