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。
A
Travelling to Europe to see its famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum(古罗马竞技场)in Rome，is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids.Fortunately，Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history.You can enjoy some fun with your kids in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.
Mykonos，Greece
The closer you get to the equator，the longer the beach season is，and Greece is wonderful for that.You can enjoy beautiful green water，public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos.
Dubrovnik，Croatia
There's nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik，Croatia's most beautiful city.It's surrounded by stone walls like a castle.It almost makes you feel like you're suntanning(晒黑皮肤) at Hogwarts，where the hero Harry Potter of the story is trained!
Sicily，Italy
Rabbit Beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow and crystal clear waters，making it a perfect beach for families with young children.And if you want to add interest to your experience，try snorkeling(徒手潜水)．
Nice，France
Lined with palm trees and firstclass hotels，the city of Nice，located on the French Riviera，offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches.Because they're in the heart of the city，these beaches attract a large crowd.So if you're looking for something more private，you'll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.
Ribadeo，Spain
At low tide，Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo，Spain is the perfect beach to take
in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants，bars or huge crowds.It boasts beautiful wild flowers and unique rock formations making it truly a picture worthy.

A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack—when a
touch of humour might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this bynowfamiliar excuse wouldn't work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes，the boss was，Sam entered the office at 9：35.The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室)；everyone was hard at work.Sam's supervisor came up to him.Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do！”he said.“I'm Sam Maynard.I'm applying for a job.Which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm？”
The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh.
Humour is a most effective，yet frequently neglected(忽略)，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs，it's the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example，many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
【语篇解读】 本文通过一个小故事讲述了幽默的重要性。
4．Why was Sam late for his job?
A．Because he was ill.
B．Because he got up late.
C．Because he was caught in a traffic jam.

5．The main idea of this passage is .
A．Sam Maynard saved his job with humour
B．humour is important in our lives
C．early bird gets the worm
D．humour can solve racial discriminations

6．The underlined phrase “clamped off”in Paragraph 3 means .

B．tried to set

A [词义猜测题。前面提到老板连辞退他的话都想好了，而Sam开的这个玩笑使人们哄堂大笑。而老板为了树立他的威严，仍然强忍住笑。故答案为A。]

C
Scott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah，north of Brisbane last year.
Disability Services Queensland's Strengthening NonGovernment Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.
The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助) through the project.The fivebedroom house provides 24hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs，including medical support.Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible，depending on each resident's requirements.
Scott and Daniel，who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy，require 24hour support in all activities of daily living.Before they moved to the house，they lived with their family.Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.
“We were heavy hearted，”says Scott，who is planning to write a book about his life experiences.“But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves.We now manage ourselves on a daytoday basis.”
Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener，taking care of his own vegetable garden.The men share the house with one other young man，and they go to rugby league games，meeting up with friends.
Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah.Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.
“It is an unconventional model of care，”Lee says.“The home is Scott and Daniel's home，however it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”
“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months.However，by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了昆士兰州残疾人服务加强非政府组织项目为残疾人提供可以24小时为四个有复杂需求的残疾人提供护理的五居室住房，这让Scott 和Daniel这样的残疾人可以离开父母独立生活，同时也减轻了他们父母的负担。
8．What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?
A．It was built by their parents.
B．It can accommodate four residents.
C．It belongs to a governmental project.
D．It's located in the center of Brisbane.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The fivebedroom house provides 24hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs”可知，这所五居室的房子可以24小时为四个有复杂需求的人提供护理，也就是说Scott 和Daniel现在住的房子可以住四个人，故B项正确。]
9．Why did Scott and Daniel's parents wake up frequently at night?
A．To help them do exercise.
B．They were making a lot of noise.
C．To check on their breathing.
D．They were under emotional pressure.
C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.”可知，他们的父母每天夜里都叫醒他们几次是为了重新安置他们或把他们放在呼吸机上，也就是检查他们的呼吸，故C项正确。]
10．How did Scott feel while living with his parents?
A．A bit guilty. B．Quite happy.
C．Very proud. D．Slightly angry.
A [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents”及第五段中的“We were heavy hearted”可知，Scott说住在家里给父母加重了身体和情感上的负担，这让他心里很不好受，由此可知，Scott对此是有些愧疚的，故A项正确。]
11．What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?
A．Lack of fund.
B．No workplace.
C．Inexperienced staff members.
D．Satisfying both staff and residents' needs.
D [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The home is Scott and Daniel's home，however it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”
可知，这个房子既是Scott和Daniel的家，也是工作人员的工作场所，平衡双方(居住者和工作人员)的需要是一个挑战，故D项正确。]
D
It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example，we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！”or “Stay on the footpath close to me.”In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel competent in a wide range of situations，because they know what to do，and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.
Actually，it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think，we automatically rehearse.For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，”he will think of two things：“don't”and “fall off the tree”．That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear，positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam，hold on firmly to the side of the boat”is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？”or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？”The changes are small but the difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words，so it pays to be positive.
【语篇解读】 本文主要是告诉人们如何去教育孩子。要给孩子提供积极正面的指导，而不是负面消极的各种不准不要。
12．Positive choice of words helps kids to .
A．learn in different situations
B．do things carefully
C．build up their confidence
D．improve their imagination
C [推理判断题。根据第一段“It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.”可知，积极正面的话语会让孩子们树立信心。故选C。]
13．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．A child will act on what is instructed.
B．One can't help imagining what is heard.
C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D．One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段“What we think，we automatically rehearse.For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldn't be able to do it.”可知，第二段主要说明了人类的思维方式使得一个人情不自禁去想象听到的东西。故选B。]
14．Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A．How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?
B．Don't play by the lake.
C．Don't you dare to walk through the red light?
D．Fasten your seat belt.
D [推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Clear，positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.”可知，积极正面的指导来帮助孩子理解正确的做事方式。用消极的语言孩子们会不知道如何保证安全，如何对危险的警告做出反应。前面三个选项都是负面的。故选D。]
15．The main idea of the passage is that .
A．positive instructions guide kids
B．praise makes kids confident
C．right instructions keep kids safe
D．clear commands make kids different
A [主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel competent in a wide range of
situations，because they know what to do，and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.”及全文内容可知，文章主要是告诉人们要给孩子提供积极正面的指导，而不是负面消极的各种不准不要，差别很小的话但最后作用差得很大。故选A。]
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to improve your studies scientifically
Our brain can possibly memorize 2.5 gigabytes(千兆)of information.In order to use some of that surprising capacity(能力)a little more effectively when you learn，here are some tips that are based on widelyaccepted research by learning experts.
16
Some enjoy watching videos over reading books，others study with friends，and some like sitting in silence among a million books.Everybody is different.
Hard things first
17 ，so do the things that are difficult first.Once you are done with the hard things，you will feel better for the rest of the day，and probably more motivated to get other things done.
Space(分隔开)your studies
18 .Facts or vocabularies，for example，are best learned if you review them the first time one to two days after the study，and then again after one week，and after one month.
Instant selftest
After your study，finish up with a quick quiz.Immediate recall in the form of a test or a short summary on what you've just learned can increase retention(记忆力)by as much as 30%. 19 ，that extra effort creates deeper traces(痕迹)in your memory.
Don't force it
Motivation is like hunger.You cannot force yourself to be motivated，just like you can't tell someone else to be hungry.So，if you are not hungry right now，don't worry. 20 .
A．Take fun seriously
B．Find your own style
C．Take a break，and do something else
D．Good memory can grow your brain's potential
E．Because it's much harder for your brain to remember than to read
F．Like most people you have the strongest willpower in the morning
G．To remember things for a longer time，repeat the material after taking several breaks
【语篇解读】 短文介绍了科学地提升学习能力的五种技巧。
16．B [由“Some enjoy watching videos over reading books，others study with friends，and some like sitting in silence among a million books.Everybody is different.”可知，有些人喜欢看视频而不是读书，有些人喜欢和朋友一起学习，还有一些人喜欢静静地坐在百万本书籍中间。每个人都不一样。所以本段主要在说明读者应找到自己的学习方式。故B选项“找到自己的学习方式”符合句意。故B选项切题。]
17．F [由“so do the things that are difficult first”可知，所以先做困难的事情。通过so可以判断出此处与后一句在句意上是承接关系。故F选项“像大多数人一样，你早上意志力最强”符合句意。故F选项切题。]
18．G [由“Facts or vocabularies，for example，are best learned if you review them the first time one to two days after the study，and then again after one week，and after one month.”可知，例如，如果你在学习后的一到两天、一周后和一个月后对所学的信息或词汇进行复习，你就会学得最好。所以此处主要说为了更长时间地记住事情，休息几次后重复所学内容，然后接下文具体说间隔的时间。故G选项“为了更长时间地记住事情，休息几次后重复所学内容”符合句意。故G选项切题。]
19．E [由“ Immediate recall in the form of a test or a short summary on what you've just learned can increase retention(记忆力)by as much as 30%.”可知，以测验或以简短总结的形式对刚学过的内容进行即时回忆，可以将记忆提高30%。所以此处要说明是什么原因导致了以测验或以简短总结的形式对刚学过的内容进行即时回忆，可以将记忆提高30%。故E选项“因为对你的大脑来说，记忆要比阅读困难得多”符合句意。故E选项切题。]
20．C [由本段小标题“Don't force it”以及“So，if you are not hungry right now，don't worry.”
可知，作者在本段中建议学习时不要勉强自己。所以如果没有动力，那就休息一会儿，做点别的事情。故C选项“休息会儿，做点别的事情”符合句意。故C选项切题。]
第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
One day a man was asked to paint a boat by the owner of the boat.He brought with him paint and 21 and began to paint the boat bright red，as the owner asked him.While painting，he 22 there was a hole in the boat and decided to repair it.When he finished painting，he received his 23 and left.
The next day，the owner of the boat came to the painter and 24 him with a nice check，much higher than the payment for painting，the painter was 25 .“You've already paid me for painting the boat！”he said.
“But this is not for the paint 26 .It's for having repaired the hole in the boat.”
“But it was such a(n) 27 service.Certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so unimportant！”
“My dear friend，you do not 28 .Now let me tell you what happened.When I asked you to paint the boat，I 29 to mention about the hole.When the boat dried，my kids took the boat and 30 a fishing trip.They did not know that there was a hole in the boat.I was not at home at that time.When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat，I was 31 because I remembered that the boat had a hole.Imagine my 32 and joy when I saw them returning from fishing.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When I was in seventh grade，I was a candy striper (护士助手)at a local hospital in my town.I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr.Green.He never has any visitors，and nobody seemed to care about his condition.I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him，helping with anything that needed to be done.He became a close friend of mine，even though he responded with only an occasional hold of my hand.Mr.Green was in a coma(昏迷)．
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents，and when I came back，Mr.Green
was gone.I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was，for fear they might tell me he had died.So with many questions unanswered，I continued to volunteer there through my eighthgrade year.
Paragraph 1：
Several years later，when I was a junior in high school，I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.
Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how，as he lay there comatose，he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
Several years later，when I was a junior in high school，I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.When I realized who it was，my eyes were filled with tears.He was alive！I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr.Green，and if he had been in a coma about five years ago.With an uncertain look on his face，he replied yes.I explained how I knew him，and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital.His eyes welled up with tears，and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how，as he lay there comatose，he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.He thought it was an angel，who was there with him.Mr.Green firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive.Then he told me about his life.We exchanged a hug，said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.
