I had no sooner got off the 16 than I was stopped by a man who wanted to 17 me a diamond ring. I had no 18 of buying one， but I could not deny the fact that I was 19 by the size of the diamonds.

三、閱读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Read a whole book in English？ Me？

Yes， you. Believe it or not that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So youre not limited to simplified versions （简写本）. And the easier books are not for young children.

Books in their original versions （原著） may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment. The key is to find the right books. Lets take a look at these.

The Lion， the Witch and the Wardrobe （C.S. Lewis）

Stepping into an old wardrobe， four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. In this delightful land， they find friends among the many talking creatures.

The children soon discover， however， that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund， one of the children， falls under her power. Who can free Narnia？ Only Aslan， the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who save her.

The Old Man and the Sea （Ernest Hemingway）

Santiago， an old Cuban fisherman， hasnt caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land， the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding， the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish， his beautiful fish...

Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for this superb story of strength and courage， of victory and regret.

A Wrinkle in Time （Madeleine Lingle）

Megs father， a US government scientist， has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.endprint

Now Meg， her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Megs father before it is too late？

This novel is more than just a science-fiction adventure. Its an exploration of the nature of our universe.

The Pearl （John Steinbeck）

One day Kino， a poor Mexican pearl diver， finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life， new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. “No，” says Kino. “I will have my chance. I am a man.” But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl， Kino and his wife must run for their lives.

This tale of dreams， justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.

The Long Winter （Laura Ingalls Wilder）

Its winter， 1880-8-1， on Americans northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped， no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuels are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.

This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early American settlers.

The World Is Getting Smaller

Imagine this： a television screen the size and thickness of a piece of paper. You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show. Imagine a guitar so tiny you cant see it with the human eye， but you can hear sounds when its strings are plucked （撥）. Some people say the future is big， but when it comes to technology， the world is getting smaller.endprint

Nanotechnology （纳米技术） is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way， and it is being explored and developed all over the globe. Micromachines too small to be seen by the human eye are being designed to do many things that larger machines do today. And these machines， no longer in diameter （直徑） than a human hair， are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution.

Maybe the area where nanotechnology will have the biggest impact is medical science. Imagine NanoBots （纳米机器人） in medicine. Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific missions. For example， they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses. Other machines may stay in the human body permanently to help organs that are not functioning properly.

Think of the possibilities in using such tiny machines in surgery. Imagine machines so small you can swallow them in a pill or inject them into your bloodstream through a needle. After youve had too many years of junk food， these tiny robots could be sent into your arteries （动脉） to clean them. An intelligent machine in your heart would look around to find the problem and then repair it. If you needed an operation， it would be almost like swallowing the surgeon.

When could all of this happen？ Scientists predict that much of this is possible in the next 30 years. After all， when your grandparents were young， they would have laughed if someone told them a person could walk on the moon. Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micromachines. Nanotechnology is just around the corner.

39. Paragraph 2 mainly discusses ______ .

A. nanotechnology B. human eye

C. large machines D. human hair

40. According to the passage， the tiny medical instruments______ .

A. can stay in human body and cure the diseases

B. are too small to be repaired

C. may not function well in human body

D. can also be used to send human onto the moon

41. The phrase “just around the corner” in the last sentence means “______”.

A. in the distance

B. right under your notice

C. likely to happen soon

D. beyond all imagination

Chinese pop singer Yao Beina， who sang the Chinese version of the theme song Let It Go from the Disney movie Frozen and also the theme song of the Legend of Zhenhuan， died on Friday in Shenzhen， Guangdong province， after losing her battle with breast cancer at the age of 33， local media reported.endprint

Born in Wuhan， the capital of Hubei province， on Sept 26， 1981， Yao was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and soon after had her left breast removed.

After seeming to recover from the disease， she made a comeback in the entertainment business， and her popularity received a boost from the reality talent show The Voice of China in 2013.

In 2013， Yao posed naked for a magazine to raise readers awareness of breast cancer. She told the magazine the scar left from her surgery was “cool” and “like a medal that only belongs to me”.

Yao was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of a Shen-zhen hospital on Thursday after a relapse of the cancer suddenly worsened， Yuan Tao， general manager of Yaos label， Huayi Brothers Music， said on Friday.

The singer died at 4：55 pm on Friday. In accordance with her wishes， Yaos father signed a consent form on Jan 9 to donate his daughters corneas， Yuan said. Local media reported that the cancer had spread to Yaos brain and lungs.

While Yaos fans may find it difficult to accept the sudden death of a singer who was young and beautiful， a breast cancer expert warned young women to be aware of the dangers of breast cancer and said that it is not as curable as many people think.

“Only 60 to 70 percent of breast cancer patients can be cured completely in Western countries， and the proportion in China is 50 to 60 percent，” said Jiang Zefei， a breast cancer expert at Beijing No 307 Hospital. He said an increasing number of young women get breast cancer because of unhealthy lifestyles and work stress.

The average age of breast cancer onset in China is 10 to 15 years younger than in the West， according to a study published in The Lancet Oncology in 2014. The Lancet is one of the worlds best-known general medical journals. As in most countries， breast cancer is now the most common cancer among Chinese women.

42. Now we know that Yao made a comeback in the entertainment business ______.

A. with her breast cancer not being completely cured

B. when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011

C. after singing the theme song of the Legend of Zhenhuan

D. since she becomes increasingly popular for The Voice of China in 2013

43. From the passage we can infer that ______ .

A. most women will lose their battle with breast cancer

B. the scar left from her surgery was a real medal to Yao

C. another person will see the wonderful world for her selfless donationendprint

D. Chinese women will die 10 to 15 years younger than those in the west

44. According to the expert， young women get breast cancer is mainly because ______ .

A. they are unaware of the dangers of breast cancer and let it go

B. they are always with high pressure of career and bad habits of life

C. they are in the entertainment business and busy flying everywhere

D. they often think it as curable as other disease and pay no attention

D

Not so long ago， most people didnt know who Shelly-Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However， one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed the eighteen-year-old Shelly-Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive， but even so， he seemed there was something trying to get out， something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results， and a few year later at Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008， Shelly-Ann， who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world， beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint （短跑）.

“Where did she come from？” asked an astonished sprinting world， before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time， only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly-Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton， becoming world champion with a time of 10.73—the fourth record ever.

Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse， where she lived in a one-room apartment， sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse， one of the poorest communities in Jamaica， is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings； one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes. Her mother Maxime， one of a family of fourteen， had been an athlete herself as a young girl but， like so many other girls in Waterhouse， had to stop after she had her first baby. Maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track， and she was ready to sacrifice everything.endprint

It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008， all those long， hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty， surrounded by criminals and violence， had written a new chapter in the history of sports.

But Shelly-Anns victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing， the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country，” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world.

As Muhammad Ali puts it， “Champions arent made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire， a dream， a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.

45. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann？

A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.

B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.

C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.

D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.

46. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games？

A. She would become a promising star.

B. She badly needed to set higher goals.

C. Her sprinting career would not last long.

D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all.

47. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track？

A. Her success and lessons in her career.

B. Her interest in Shelly-Anns quick profit.

C. Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.

D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world.

A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts.

B. She was eager to do more for her country.

C. She became an athletic star in her country.

D. She was the envy of the whole community.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

You probably already know that you can lose weight by taking less food. But if youre an emotional eater， youll still turn to food if you dont deal with your feelings.

What Is Emotional Eating？

Basically， emotional eating is eating for reasons other than hunger. In other words， you reach for food not because your body tells you it needs food but because your emotions need to be satisfied. Instead of the gradual urge you get when youre physically hungry， emotional eating strikes you suddenly. Instead of filling the empty space with healthy choices， emotional eaters use food for comfort. For women， its usually ice cream or chocolate， while men reach for steak and French fries.

Emotional Eating Leaves You Feeling Guilty

Besides blowing up your stomach， emotional eating does harm to your mind. When you eat for physical reasons， you dont feel guilty. But when you eat food just because youre feeding your emotions， you feel guilty afterward.

Recognizing the “Red Lights” with “HALT”

When youre lured （誘惑） into emotional eating， please remember to HALT. Besides being reminded to stop before you do any damage， remember what HALT represents.

“H” is for hungry—Sometimes you can feel physical hunger when youre on the point of an emotional eating. But rather than reaching for those comfort foods rich in fat and sugar， make better choices such as proteins， fruits and vegetables.

“A” is for anxious—Its easy to fall into emotional eating when youre worried and tense. Do whatever is effective to calm down. Call a friend， pray， or keep a record of your feelings. Just dont reach for food.

“L” is for lonely—Too often emotional eaters use food for companionship. Instead of comforting yourself with food， join a group of caring people who understand your problem.

“T” is for tired—When tired， either physically or emotionally， emotional eaters turn to food. Instead， get some rest or eat something good for you.endprint

Breaking the Addiction

Often emotional eaters arent even aware that theyre overeating because something is troubling them. Whenever you feel the desire to eat out of your emotions， replace it with helpful activities such as calling a friend， walking your dog， gardening or exercising.

Most importantly， find out the reason（s） why you overeat. You wont break your food addiction unless you get to the root of why you overeat.

（51） ______ Eating

五、One possible version：

Volunteer spirit is rooted in the hearts of many people， especially young people in China. In recent years， there have been large numbers of volunteers devoting their time and effort to people in need.

The picture shows us a touching moment when two volunteers help a disabled man in a wheelchair. Realizing it would be impossible for the man to get to the top all by himself， the volunteers carry the wheelchair with difficulty step by step up the stairs.

This picture reminds me of many volunteers in my school， my community and our country， helping not just the disabled， but also those who cant find their way around， or those who suffer from misfortune. Volunteers make a difference to these people when they bring them warmth， comfort and relief.

I would be happy to be a volunteer， too， and help the senior citizens in the House for the Aged regularly so that they will not feel lonely but enjoy their life to the full.endprint
