第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
A
Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe.But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance.South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.
Du Toit, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会) in Beijing.Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the able-bodied Games, she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry.But I try to remember that better days are ahead.You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still competes and still succeeds.The only difference is that she has switched to longer events—from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg.But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌).
“Going out in the water, it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me.It doesn’t matter if you look different.You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the
same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe for success.It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn, which is good and bad,”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
Thetragedyoflifedoesnotlieinnotreachingyourgoals; Thetragedyoflifeliesinnothavinggoalstoreachfor.
21. Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that________. A. you are what you believe B. your biggest enemy is yourself
C. results are not so important as the process D. you must set reasonable goals or you will fail
22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “embodies” in the first paragraph? A. Makes.
B. Creates.
C. Represents.
D. Introduces.
23. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Toit?
a. She won gold at the All Africa Games.
b. She finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the Olympics. c. She adjusted herself to long events. d. A motorcycle accident disabled her. A. cdab
B. dcba
C. dcab
D. dacb
24. In dark moments it was ________ that pushed her on. A. her coach B. her family C. hope and faith D. her love of
swimming
B
Texting while driving, and speeding aren’t all that parents need to worry about when their kids are incars: Add second-hand smoke to the list.
In the first national estimate of its kind, a report from government researchers says
1
more than 1 in 5 high school students and middle schoolers ride in cars while others are smoking.This kind of second-hand smoke exposure has been linked with breathing problems and allergy symptoms, and more restrictions are needed to prevent it, the report says.
With widespread crackdowns on smoking in public, private places including homes and cars are where people encounter second-hand smoke these days.Anti-smoking advocates have zeroed in on cars because of research showing they’re potentially more dangerous than smoke-filled bars and other less confined areas.
The study is based on national surveys done at public and private high schools and middle schools.Students were asked how often they rode in cars while someone was smoking within the past week.The most common answer was one or two days.The smoker could mean other kids or parents.“Thereisnorisk-freelevelofexposuretosecond-handsmoke.”the CDC says.
“The car is the only source of exposure for some of these children, so if you can reduce that exposure, it’s definitely advantageous for health.”King said.
The CDC advises parents not to allow smoking in their homes and cars, and says opening a car window will not protect kids from cigarette smoke inside.
Measures banning smoking in cars when children are present have been enacted in a handful of states and proposed in several others.The study authors say similar bans should be adopted elsewhere.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Speeding. B. Riding in cars. C. Texting while driving. D. Second-hand smoke. 25. The attitude of King towards banning smoking in cars was________. A. doubtfulB. neutral C. supportive
D. disapproving
26. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Many Kids Smoke While Driving a Car B. More Kids Complain About Smoking in Cars C. Kids Are Exposed to Second-hand Smoke a Lot D. Too Many Kids Breathe Others’ Smoke in Cars
C
I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem, I thought:we’ll buy another.But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out
that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as ￡600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our familybeing“too poor to afford a car”?(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again.The idea that you“have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in themind.I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
28. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ________. A.most families chose to go car-free B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident C.the cost of a new car was too much D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him
29. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan? A. Supportive
B. Disapproving
C. Optimistic
D. Unconcerned
30. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion? A.Argue against it. B. Take their advice． C.Think it over.
D.Leave it alone.
31. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?
2
A.Life cannot go without a car. B.Life without a car is a little bit hard. C.His life gets improved without a car.
D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.
D
Society tells us that we should count our blessings, focus on all that we have and feel grateful for what we’ve been given.But there is nothing wrong with“healthy discontent”.In fact, healthy discontent is what motivates us to improve ourselves and our circumstances.Without this feeling, life’s easier to stand still.
I always have a certain level of discomfort.That discomfort drives me to work hard at my job.I don’t just want to remain where I am.Professionally, I want to keep getting better.Likewise, I always have a certain amount of discontent with my home.That drives me to always try to improve it by makingit look better.
My feelings of discontent with my job and my home don’t mean that I don’t appreciate them.It’s an incredible blessing to be able to work and be paidfor one’s efforts.Similarly, if you live in a safe place, with running water, heating, and air conditioning, you are incredibly fortunate.These are not the things to be taken for granted.However, we should be striving(力争)to improve.
If you happen to be good at playing the piano, you should work to continually improve your skills.The same holds true for our personal development.If you have areas in your personality that need improvement, you should work on them, too.
For instance, I can be very impatient. As a result, I work hard to try to conquer that flaw(缺点) by keeping my impatience to myself.When we feel discontent with ourselves, we have to be honest with ourselves.
It’s easy to make excuses for our bad behavior, but we need to face our discontent and say to ourselves, “I need to work on this.”This week, consider whether you have healthy discontent in your life.Have you become so settled in your life that you don’t see regular improvement?
Do you have a character flaw that you wish you didn’t have? Don’t ignore these things.Instead, take steps to address your areas of discontent and keep improving your life every day.No matter how great we think things are going, there’s always room for improvement.
32. What is stressed in Paragraph1? A.The gratitude for what we have.
B.The importance of healthy discontent.
C.The lessons from society. D.The easiness of standing still in life.
33. Why does the author have feelings of discontent with his job and home? A.He doesn’t treasure them. B.He is particular about them. C.He desires to improve them.
D.He is difficult to satisfy.
34. What does the author advise you to do if you have personal flaws? A.Leave them as they are. B.Make efforts to overcome them. C.Make excuses for them.
D.Be patient with ourselves.
35. How does the author support his view mostly? A.By listing some questions. B.By telling his own experiences.
C.By analyzing various causes of healthy discontent. D.By showing consequences of healthy discontent. 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。 Making decisions about parenting is difficult.There are many ideas and opinions around, but parents never really know what will be good or bad for a child. 36 However, parental instinct(直觉) and knowledge should always come first.
Parents are the most influential examples to children.Parents who praise their kids and show respect, kindness, honesty, friendliness, hospitality and generosity in the family at all times, will encourage them to behave in the same way. 37
A very important thing when bringing up a child is to try not to influence their minds with parents’. 38 Parents should never live their life through their children or force children to fulfill their own unrealized dreams.But still parents can play a very important role in allowing the child’s intelligence to develop.
39 Through discipline(纪律) the child learns that some kinds of behavior are acceptable and others are not.Setting boundaries helps children to learn how to behave outside their property.
When discussing a problem that concerns a child, in some senses it is important to involve children in the problem-solving process. 40 Be open to the child’s suggestions and take them into consideration.A child experiencing this kind of open and easy communication in the family, will become very confident and learn the rules of good
communication.
3
A.It can be very useful to value others’opinions. B.Just encourage them to be intelligent, to be aware. C.Set limitations on children’s behavior when necessary. D.The possible solution must be found together with a child. E.Parents should encourage their children to try something new. F.Children should speak out their problems actively and bravely. G.Children can learn a lot about how to behave by copying their parents. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
