Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is ___1 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no ___2 than tomorrow morning.”

That statement began a(n) ___5 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my ___6 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

II.阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ks5u

A

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

“J.C.”, he replied.

She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.

“It was all right with me,”he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.

“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

26. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________.

A. he went to Ohio State University

B. his teacher made fun of him

C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”

D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet

27. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________.

A. hurt himself in the back

B. succeeded in setting many records

C. tried every sports event but failed

D. had to give up some events

28. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because __________.

A. he was not of the right race

B. he was the son of a poor farmer

C. he didn't shake hands with Hitler

D. he didn't talk to the US president on the phone

29. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals __________.

A. have been changed for money to help him live on

B. have made him famous in the US

C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

30. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete

B. Golden Moment-- a Life-time Struggle

C. Making a Living as a Sportsman

D. How to Be a Successful Athlete?

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causi ng more trees to be cut down.” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.

Perhaps best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

31. Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A. Computers effectively cut down the use of paper.

B. Documents can be stored in computers electronically.

C. A large number of e-mails need to be printed in reality.

D. Printers are in a greater demand owing to the Internet.

32．The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to __________.

A．the rapid development of small businesses

B．the opening up of new markets

C．the printing of high quality copies

D．the increased use of the Internet

33．Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because __________.

A．people are concerned about the environment

B．printers in many offices are working overtime

C．small companies need more hard copies

D．they see a growing market for printers

34．Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is __________.

A．to encourage printing more quality documents

B．to develop new printers using recycled paper

C．to find new materials for making paper

D．to plant more fast growing trees

35．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Computers and Printers

B．E-mail and the Business World

C．Internet Revolution and Environment

D．Modern Technology and New Markets

C

Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.

This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy（幻想）literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?

Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.

The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad, but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing

something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.

36. What man is curious about is mainly __________.

A. the unknown world

B. the unusual events

C. the daily trifles

D. the isolated lives

37．The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves .

A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world

B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature

C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world

D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity

38．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.

B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.

C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.

D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder. 39．If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will _________.

A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives

B．be confused by the world of make-believe

C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world

D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us

40. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.

B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.

C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.

D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

A MENTORING program (导师制) is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said: "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”

"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”

"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures." Kieran Hepburn, 14,

is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).

The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. "Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."

The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

Kieran said: "It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August."

The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit https://www.wendangku.net/doc/be4559862.html,.

41. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to _____.

A. train staff for world-famous firms

C. provide youth with unique experiences

D. equip the unemployed with different skills

42. According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to _____.

A. the lack of support from firms

B. the cultural differences

C. the effect of unemployment

D. the shortage of money

43. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____.

A. build up their confidence at school

B. find work experience opportunities

C. improve their social skills for the future

D. play an active role in the change of society

44. We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing

B. Kieran has made great progress in many aspects

C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems

D. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday

45. What would be the best tide for the passage?

B. Young People Find a World of Opportunity

C. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to Paris

D. Debates Help Youth with Their Grades

A nation without a dream is a nation without hope. We have a China Dream. It includes the strong will of the Chinese people for the renewal (复兴) of the Chinese nation and a better life.

The China Dream is the people's dream. To make it come true, the government should always be service-oriented. People will only act responsibly for the country and help to achieve tile national dream when their dreams are realized, too. You cannot ask individuals to make sacrifices for the nation if they receive nothing in return.

Moreover, the government have to know what people want and what they need. As Xi Jinping said in his first public speech after the 18th Party Congress, the Chinese people want better education, stable jobs, higher incomes, greater social security,

better medical and healthcare, improved housing conditions and better environmental quality.

However we still have a long way to go to achieve the China Dream. Chinese people used to think that economic growth would solve all the problems, but now we realize that the renewal of our nation will require much more than just money. 【写作内容】

Statistics reveal that about 40% to 60% of the citizens in our country suffer from tooth decay while more children are stricken by such a disease with a ratio of 70%. Many factors are responsible for this disease, but food and dietary habits may be the most important factors. Therefore, we are supposed to balance our food, eating more vegetables rich in fibers, fruit, milk and so on, instead of sugar. Next, brush teeth both in the morning and after meals, especially before going to bed. In addition, we should take regular medical tooth check so that we can cure the disease in time once we are found carrying bad teeth in our mouth.

The passage tells us what the China Dream includes and in order to achieve it, the government should be service-oriented and find out what people want and need, which requires constant efforts.

Dreams play quite an important role in our life, providing us with guidance and motivating us to overcome all kinds of difficulty. A dream is to a person what the sun is to the world. We students may be faced with many challenges, such as endless homework, failures in exams and pressure from parents. While these drown us in sadness, dreams do cheer us up. Only when one has a dream and pursue it regardless of any obstacle can one achieve success in the end.

In reality, I am deeply impressed by the story of Jia Zuosheng, who pursued his dream with great determination. Although he never finished high school, his college ambition never stopped. He became a security guard at Qinghua University. However, by taking advantage of the academic resources at Qinghua, he finally made his way to Shandong Normal University last year. Jia's success tells us if we find a dream, we have to fight for it and never give it up.

As for me, to achieve the China Dream, firstly I have to study hard and reach the goal of entering a renowned university. Then I can learn some professional knowledge, find a good job and lead a good life, which is part of the China Dream. From my perspective, every bit of effort counts in the process of realizing the China Dream.

As we all know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. Without a good dream, people can’t make progress; without a good dream, countries can’t develop; without a good dream, the world c an’t become so beautiful! And I hold the strong belief that everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and wishing for good things, however, costs nothing!

What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially for those who are Senior 3 students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let their

dreams fly, the dream would just die!

Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China succeeded to host the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; with a nice dream, Hong Kong returned to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, Yuan Longping rids the world of hunger; with a nice dream, Michael Jordon becomes the most popular basketball star; with a nice dream I can stand on this stage to compete in the final English speech contest. And with an aim of achieving success, I must do the best!

So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure nor lose your dream in face of pains. You must keep going forward bravely! Just fly your dream highly above the sky!

One possible version:

Dreams play an important role in our daily life and a good dream is the motivation to success. To realize a dream, one should learn to defeat difficulties through constant struggles as well as persistence.

It is a dream that enables one to do better in life. Like most classmates, there was a time when I dreamed of being an excellent student in English after entering junior middle school, though my English was very poor then. To catch up with my classmates, I made up my mind to learn English well and made pen-friends with some foreign students so as to practise my spoken English and improve my written English. Although some of my classmates often went to the movies in the evening, seldom did I take part in such activities. Instead, I set aside to concentrate on my English and won the Final English Speech Contest around the city this term, realizing my dream.

At present, I also have another dream. As a Senior 3 student, I hope that I can be admitted to a key university after graduation from middle school. Of course, whether my dream will come true depends largely on my personal efforts. Although life is full of ups and downs, I choose to go forward bravely. I strongly believe that where there is a dream, there is hope and there is a way.

高中英语书面表达中的高级结构

英语书面表达在高考中日益显得重要，高考书面表达已不只局限于把话说清楚，把意思表达完整，而是要给我们的句子润色，让我们的句子靓起来。如何让我们的英语句子靓起来呢？很多人都强调用连词、介词等词汇手段迅速提高语言水平。但这种方法需要一定的积累，也需要一定的基础。而我觉得通过对低级句型的改造，可以迅速达到这一目的。

It was not until I arrived home that I realized I had left the bag on the shop counter.

It was then that I realized the importance of English.

◆倒装句：只要句中有介词短语或状语从句，便可将其提前，变成倒装句。Only when I turned right at the crossing did that car crack towards me.

Only by this means can he escape from the big fire. ks5u

◆with引导的伴随结构：可以将状语从句或并列句中的其中一个分句变成with 结构。

With the sun lighting brightly and the birds singing clearly, I went to school in high spirits

He always likes to sleep with the windows open.

◆巧妙地使用非谓语动词：可以将状语从句或并列的动词简化为非谓语动词。Hearing that, the driver’s wife quickly added that her hus band often talked nonsense after drinking. (=When he heard that, ……)

◆恰到好处的被动句：适合应用于较简短的句子，这样显得语言简洁生动，宾语一般是nothing、anything、everything等不定代词。

I searched all my pockets, but nothing was found.

◆感叹句：通常用于开头结尾活跃文章气氛，凡是“I feel ……”之类表达感情的句子皆可如此改造。

How terrible I felt today! I failed again in the math exam.

◆高级定语从句：若定语从句中的动词带有介词，只需将介词移至先行词后。We came to a place to which they had never paid a visit before.

◆进行时态：有时会含有一定情绪，尤其要使用always这样的富含感情色彩的副词。

I am always feeling terrible when I take a bus.

◆婉转表达：需要使用幽默的技巧，主要用于漫画型作文题。

I could find nothing but bad luck when I returned to the shop after learning that my handbag had been left on the counter.

◆what引导的名词性从句：将动宾结构转化为此结构。

What he gave me, which I knew, were not only a Christmas present but also a heart full of love and a mind of my existence in it.

◆“数词+名词”变为“as many as+数词+名词”。

As many as ten years ago, my hometown used to be covered by forests

◆适当加一些插入语：一些连词、副词可以放到句子中间充当语气较弱的插入语，如I guess、however、in a way、certainly、in my opinion、probably、briefly, generally speaking, believe it or not, besides, what’s more等，有时可以考虑几个插入语连用，就更像英美人士的文章了。

◆独立主格：将主从句去掉连词，前句动词变为分词即可。

Weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

◆把简单句改成复合句：适当的时候把两个简单句改成“too…to…”或者“so…that…”等高级一点的复合句。例如：

I was ver y tired. I couldn’t keep up with them.我们可以改成：

I was so tired that I couldn’t keep up with them.或：I was too tired to keep up with them.

这样一来，英语基础不是很好的学生只要能够写出最基本的句子，然后再对这些句子进行加工、改造、润色，慢慢的，就会让句子靓起来，在高考中就可以得到比较满意的成绩。
