Many years ago,my dad was facing a serious heart condition.He was unable to do a steady job.He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital.My dad loved kids.It was the perfect job for him.He ended up working with the seriously ill children.He would talk,play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(癱瘓)her from the neck down.She couldn't do anything,and she was very depressed.My dad decided to try to help her.He started visiting her in her room,bringing paints,brushes and paper.He stood the paper up,put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint.He didn't use his hands at all.All the while he would tell her, “See,you can do anything you set your mind to.''
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth,and she and my dad became friends.Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her.My dad also left the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill.Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work,in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking.She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight.She gave him a picture she had done using her hands.At the bottom it read:”Thank you for helping me walk.''
My dad would cry every time he told US this story and so would we.He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “ In_the_sweat_of_the_face_shall_you_eat_the_bread._”
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections memories. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
語篇解讀:本文提到世上最難完成的兩件事是用誠實努力獲得財富,以及如何正確運用,才能不枉此生。
5.Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A.Wealth results from honest effort.
B.The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C.For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.
D.The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
答案:C 判斷推理題。根據第一段提到“Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止).”但是,我想,對他們來說,某種非常重要的東西已經失去了,不然他們又怎會逃避現實,每天用蘇打水和蘇格蘭威士忌將自己灌得爛醉如泥?他們明白,自己已經無法突破現有的成就。故選C項。
6.The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.
A.Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B.No pains, no gains
C.Failure is the mother of success
D.Bread comes from the sweat on your face
答案:B 詞意猜測題。根據第二段提到“What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind.” “ In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread. ”如何才能幸福長壽地生活在世上呢?我想,很早之前在翻閱《圣經》時,我就找到了答案。《創世紀》中有一段話引起了我的注意,它雖然簡短,卻在我腦海中留下了深刻的印象:要想糊口,必要汗流滿面,故選B項。
7.We learn from the passage that the author ________.
A.was a wealthy person in the community
B.held a positive attitude towards an active life
C.was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
答案:B 判斷推理題。根據最后一段提到“To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections ( memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.”對我而言,它是最初的記憶,也是始終的挑戰。實際上,對每個人來說,人生之役,生存之役,都是一種挑戰。圣.保羅不朽的教誨,也一直并將永遠鼓舞著我,表示作者積極的人生態度,故選B項。
8.What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A.To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.
D.If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.
答案:D 細節理解題。根據第一段提到“Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly.”人生在世最難完成的兩件事就是:用誠實的努力獲得財富,以及擁有財富后,學會如何正確地運用,再根據第二段提到“What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours?”如何才能幸福長壽地生活在世上呢?故D項意思更接近。
Ⅱ.七選五
根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions. Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world. __1__. Here is a short list of main reasons trees are necessary for improving our living conditions.
●Trees produce oxygen
__2__. A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breathe. Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants.
●Trees clean the soil
The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. __3__ Trees filter(過濾) sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and so on.
●Trees are carbon sinks
To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. __4__. This locking-up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas.
●__5__
Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.
A.We could not exist as we do if there were no trees
B.Trees help clean the sky
C.A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces
D.Trees control noise pollution
E.Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world
F.The modern human community has other more practical reasons to admire and honor trees
G.Trees can either store harmful pollutants or change the pollutants into less harmful forms
語篇解讀:樹對人類的生存環境起著重要的作用。無論是天然林還是人工林,都在美化著這個星球。樹在哪些方面造福我們呢?
1.F 空格的前句說的是地球上的自然林和我們種植的樹木一起創造更好的世界。空格后的句子是說這里有一個關于樹對改善我們的生存環境非常必要的重要原因的簡單列表。故F項“當今的人類還有其他更現實的理由敬佩、珍視樹木”起承上啟下的作用,符合語境。
2.A 根據下文可知,此處是說樹所生產的氧氣幫助我們存活,故A項符合語境。
3.G 由空后的內容可知,樹木會過濾污水和農業用藥,減少動物糞便的影響及清理路邊的污物等,故G項能概括此處描述的內容。
4.C 根據空前的“locks away carbon dioxide”和空后的“Thislocking-up process‘stores’carbon”可知答案。
5.D 結合本段內容可知,此處講的是樹木可以減少噪音污染,故D項符合文意。
Ⅲ.語法填空
閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當的內容(1個單詞)或括號內單詞的正確形式。
This is a story of a little girl and her grandmother. One day, I was looking for medicine in a store __1__ I saw an old woman with a little girl in her arms. The little girl asked her grandmother,“ __2__ do you think about a brand new face cream that is supposed __3__(reduce) laugh lines?” The grandmother just laughed and said, “Sweetie, I am 80 years old. I __4__(learn) to love all my laugh lines. I have __5__(actual) earned every one of them.” Then just to prove her point, she laughed again and amused __6__ granddaughter. The laughter of the little girl and the old woman mixed together with a sound __7__ was as musical and beautiful as an angel's song.
I left the store feeling a lot __8__(good) about all the laugh lines I had earned in my own life. I remembered all the beautiful faces I had seen __9__ the years. Their beauty is ageless no matter how old they are. May you have a time in your life earning __10__ most attractive laugh lines.
1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______
6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
語篇解讀:小女孩建議自己的奶奶購買消除笑紋的面霜,奶奶回答說,她喜歡自己的笑紋。作者也希望人們能夠學會愛上自己的笑紋。
1.when 考查連詞。when在這里表示“就在這時(突然)”。
2.What 考查疑問代詞。What do you think about sth.?表示“你認為……怎么樣?”。
3.to reduce 考查非謂語動詞。be supposed to do sth.意為”應當做某事”,故此處填to reduce。
4.have learned/have learnt 考查動詞時態。根據上下文語境可知,奶奶已經學會愛上自己的笑紋,所以用現在完成時。
5.actually 考查詞性轉換。形容詞actual轉換為副詞actually,修飾整個句子。
6.her 考查代詞。根據該句主語she可知,應填形容詞性物主代詞her。
7.that/which 考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知,所填詞引導定語從句,先行詞是a sound,關系詞在從句中作主語,故用that/which。
8.better 考查比較級。根據語境以及空前的“a lot”可知,此處應用形容詞的比較級,good的比較級是better。
9.over 考查介詞。over the years表示“歷年來,多年以來”。
10.the 考查冠詞。形容詞最高級前應用定冠詞the。
Ⅳ.短文改錯
假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文,請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文。文中共有10處語言錯誤,每句中最多有兩處。錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。增加:在缺詞處加一個漏字符號(∧),并在其下面寫出該加的詞。刪除:把多余的詞用()劃掉。
修改:在錯的詞下畫一橫線,并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。
注意:1.每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞;
2.只允許修改10處,多者(從第11處起)不計分。
