It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Children were upstairs unpacking , and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby ,and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him .He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.
Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise. Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind. Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs? My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly. Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus. How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.小题1:According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that _________.

小题1:C小题2:D小题3:B小题4:C小题5:A
试题分析：文章讲述了一个感人的故事，父亲在庭院种下番红花，每年春天美丽的番红花就会迎风摇曳，仿佛在说：艰难的时期就会过去，坚持！光明即将到来。每当作者看到绽放的番红花时，都会想起慈爱的父亲，想起父亲一直坚持的并且通过番红花告诉她的信念：坚持！光明即将到来。小题1:C细节理解题。第一段末句When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.当我们是孩子的时候，他总是给我们制作一些让我们惊喜的东西，由此可知C选项正确。小题2:D细节理解题。文章第四段He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down.他知道冬天的黑暗和色彩的沉闷总会让我情绪失落。由此判断D选项正确。小题3:B细节理解题。根据文章第五段Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses.可知父亲在世时番红花并不是每年都开花，所以判断B选项正确。小题4:C推理判断题。从文章内容我们可知父亲知道女儿冬天容易情绪低沉，所以种了番红花，让它在春天到来时点缀女儿的心情，提醒她要相信美好时光即将到来，由此可知父亲是个kind-heartedman，而且文中也提到my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith，由此判断A选项正确。小题5:A推理判断题。文中My father’s crocuses bloomed…, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.逆境总会过去，坚持住，光明很快就会到来。而且文章最后再次点明主题Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.由此推断番红花的花语是坚贞，快乐，是信念信仰的象征。所以A选项正确。

It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope. From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.21. The writer went to Iceland to ______.&& A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs&& B. take photos about the region for a book&& C. collect materials for psychological research&& D. challenge the high mountains there22. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.&& A. they got lost in the mountain&& B. they were short of food and fuel&& C. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly&& D. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team 23. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.&& A. were in despair before they were rescued&& B. stayed in the hut for three days altogether&& C. got sick because of going for ski outside&& D. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?&& A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges. && B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.&& C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.&& D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BOne of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT&Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT&Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.& 25. According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to ______.&& A. perform well in studies&&&&&B. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates better&& &&&D. feel lonely and even suicidal26. The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “______”.A. unpopular &&B. meaningful&& &&C. abnormal&& &D. exciting27. What measures have been taken in IIT&Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.28. We may infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. all electronics students hate the banning order B. some students complain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet CWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. &&& It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. &&& The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 29. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.&& A. it is most fashionable and cool&&&&B. they are bored with driving cars && C. they are fond of being connected&&&&D. it is much cheaper than a car30. We can learn from the text that _______.&& A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals&& B. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other && C. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology && D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother 31. Professor Juliet would agree that _______. && A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession&& C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter && D. being connected via technology comes first for young people 32. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome Website&&&&B. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides&&&D. Cool Teens on the Go DNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeksbury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet! Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don’t like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. One.&&&B. Two.&&&&C. Three.&&&&D. Four.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive.B. Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.C. Rick will support Google after the merger.D. Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features.35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. opinions on the merger of Yahoo and MicrosoftB. the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftC. the strengths and weaknesses of large companies D. the future of Yahoo and Microsoft&&& 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。Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. __36__ The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey. Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level.

For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.__38__ When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. __39__& Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book
the N anything by US writer Michael C and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. __40__ Happy reading!& A. If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.B. The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in.C. You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.D. You should just find a topic or author you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. E. You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.F. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.G. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story.

This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut
some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home. 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华，你的美国网友Tom想要了解一下你所在学校的校园布局，请你根据下面的简图给他写一封e-mail，描述一下你的学校，并简单表达你对学校的情感。注意：1. 词数100字左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 开头语和结束语已为你写好，不计入总词数。Dear Tom,How are you and I miss you!

M: Why didn’t you make a birthday cake for Peter?& W: Because I didn’t have enough butter and you weren’t here to buy any. I really had my hands full.2. W: You should have known that it may do you harm if you don’t cover your head on such a cold winter day.& M: It doesn’t matter. I’m used to it.3. M: Would you like to come over and study tonight, Mary?& W: Oh, I’m sorry, Tom. I forgot to tell you that my parents are in town and want to take me to the concert tonight.4. W: Good morning, Hank. It is wonderful to be back in England.& M: I’m so glad to see you again. It’s over ten years now since we left university.5. W: Good morning. Can I help you?& M: Yes. I’d like a double room.& W: How many nights do you plan to stay with us?& M: Three. I will be checking out on Friday morning.6. M: Can I help you?& W: Yes. I bought this MP4 just yesterday, but it stopped working this morning.& M: Let me have a look.& W: I’d like to change it for another one.& M: Well, have you got your receipt, madam?& W: Yes, here it is.& M: Just a moment, madam. I need to talk to the manager.7. M: Come in. What can I do for you?& W: Professor Smith, are you giving your advanced math course again next term?& M: Yes. I’m planning on it.& W: I wonder if I could take the course. I know it’s a senior course and I’m only a junior, but…& M: You’re a bit young. I’ve allowed seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up.& W: I know, but math is my favorite subject. Last term I took Professor Baker’s course and I didn’t find it hard for me.& M: I see. Well, I’ll speak to Professor Baker. If he thinks you’re ready, I’ll let you take it.& W: Thank you, Professor Smith, that’s really very nice of you.8. M: Is there anywhere you’d like to go this weekend?& W: Nowhere in particular.

We’re going to stay at Mary White’s.& W: Is there enough room for everybody?& M: Sure, there’s plenty of room. & W: In that case, I’d love to. Thank you very much for the invitation, Bob.& M: We’ll start tomorrow first thing. How’s that?& W: I am starting to feel excited about going. What should we wear?& M: Bring warm clothes.& W: Anything else?& M: Not really. Maybe a camera if you’re interested in taking some photos.9. M: Here’s the store I was telling you about. I think you can solve your problem here.& W: I hope so. Buying a gift for my mother’s birthday gets harder and harder every year. Getting something for people who have almost everything isn’t easy.& M: Well, we can begin by looking around the store. They have all kinds of great things.& W: Look at this frying pan. I wonder what it’s for.& M: It’s for making eggs, I guess. Come over here. These biscuits look delicious. I wonder how they taste. There’s a sign that says: “Help yourself to a free biscuit”.& W: These are delicious, but they don’t solve my problem.& M: What about these wine glasses? Would your mother like them?& W: I doubt it. She has dozens of wine glasses already.& M: Here’s an usual gift―a beautiful Chinese teapot. And it’s not expensive at all. It’s only $10.45. Do you think your mother would like it?& W: It’s hard to make up my mind. But I think this is a good choice. Thanks for helping me.10.&&& Some time ago, a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn’t know very well, invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three-quarters of an hour late, I parked my car quickly.&&&&& At noon, just as I was leaving my friend’s office, it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere ! Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me, and there was no problem this time.&&&&& To tell the truth, driving in crowded cities is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive. 文章来源莲 山课件 w ww.5 Y
