44、在小时候就学到了,自然是很幸运的。foolish“愚蠢的,傻的”;enjoyable“使人快乐的”;lucky“幸运的”;grateful“感激的”。19B这里表示范围,意思是“在我赚的钱中”,所以要用of。20Bbuild up在此表示“逐渐积累(资金等)”。句意:要确保储蓄而不挥霍才能有效地积累财富。give up“放弃”;keep up“保持,维持”;make up“弥补,编造”。21Dgrow“增加,增长”。既然花掉了所有的钱,钱就不可能增多。22Brealise“意识到”,符合语境。believe“相信”;determine“确定,决定”;doubt“怀疑”。23Cshould“应该
45、”,符合语境。24A由语境知“it will grow”是“you should also save some”的目的,所以用so that引导目的状语从句。in case“以防万一”;in that“因为,由于”;but for“要不是”。25Anot onlybut also是并列连词词组,表示“不仅而且”,also可以省略。26A由下文的“with expenses such as food and rent”可以看出,大学的费用应该是比较高的。27Chold on to“紧紧抓住”,在这里引申为“积攒”。句意:如果你能把少年时期赚的钱积攒一大部分的话,那么你上大学、买房子就轻松多了。h
46、old out“伸出,维持”;hold up“阻挡”;hold back“抑制”。28B这里是从反面论证从小学会攒钱的好处:如果你30多岁了还没有积蓄,那你将不得不一直努力了,所以要选struggle“奋斗,努力”。survive“幸存”;annoy“使烦恼”;die“死亡”。29D很显然,后一个分句解释的是“Later in life it can be hard to start saving”的原因,所以选since,表示“因为,由于”。30Apay your bills指“支付你(生活中)的各种账单”,符合语境。pay taxes“交税”;pay attention“注意”。31Cco
47、me from“来自”。这里要表达的意思是,这些钱来自你攒下来的钱。32Dsecure“安心的,无虑的”。文章最后一句给出了暗示。句意:但是钱可以帮你过一种安心的生活。由上一句话可以排除A。simple“简朴的”;miserable“悲惨的”。33B这样你就可以做一些自己想做的事情了。allow“允许,准许”。34A这里承接上一段的两个方面,进一步阐述早点儿开始攒钱的好处,所以应该选A。in addition“另外,除之外”。35B句意:此外,早点儿开始攒钱还意味着你可以无忧无虑地按你想要的方式生活。consult“咨询,商量”;worry“担心”;rest“休息”;think“思考”。第二节
48、(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Julie enjoyed reading when young.She grew up in _36_key middle school in her city, 37._ her parents both taught Chinese.That meant she was surrounded by either teachers who were busy teaching or students who 38._(devote) to their studies.So sh
49、e developed her love of 39._(read)Her interest 40._ reading also benefited from the fact that 41._ parents only let her watch half an hour of TV a day.She learned to use her mind and imagination 42._(entertain) herself.Its not really 43._(surprise) that reading became her vocation.When not reading s
50、he enjoyed watching films, walking and relaxing with her friends.Reading brought her much 44._(please) and she never wanted to stop learning.Not only did reading enrich her knowledge 45._ it improved her learning scores.【答案及解析】36a 本句后面的名称school是一个可数名词,使用a表示泛指;她在所在城市的一个重点中学里快乐成长。37where本句是一个定语从句,先行词是
51、a key middle school,后面的定语从句“her parents both taught Chinese”句子结构很完整,所以使用关系副词引导,因为先行词是一个表示地点的名词,所以使用关系副词where来引导这个定语从句。38were devotedbe devoted to致力于;本句还是一个定语从句,因为先行词是students,所以使用复数形式were。39reading根据本段第一句“Julie enjoyed reading”可知,从小她就喜欢上了阅读。故使用reading作为of的宾语。40in名词interest通常与介词in连用,形容词interested也是和i
52、n连用,形成be interested in“对感兴趣”的固定搭配。41her本句是指她对于阅读的兴趣也受益于她的父母亲每天只让她看一个小时的电视节目。42to entertain 本句中的Julie是一个女生,根据上文的her就知道了。所以使用entertain herself表示让她自己很开心。43surprising本句中的it指代后面一句话的内容,指一件事情,所以使用现在分词转换的形容词surprising,“令人惊讶的”作表语。44pleasurepleasure“快乐”是一个抽象名词,要单独使用,指阅读给她带来了很多的快乐。45but (also)本句是一个固定搭配not only
53、but also不但而且;句义:阅读不但丰富了她的知识还提高了她的学习成绩。第三部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是红星中学高一(1)班的学生李华。你的英国笔友Chris刚刚转学到新学校,一切都很陌生,他在邮件中向你询问如何尽快融入新环境。请你根据以下信息回信:1.多跟同学交流沟通;2.积极参加学校活动;3.向老师寻求帮助。注意:1.词数80左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;3.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。Dear Chris,Yours, Li Hua【答案】One possible version:Dear Chris,I am sorry to
54、hear that you are having trouble fitting in with your new school. Perhaps the following suggestions will be helpful. First, you may communicate with your classmates as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better. Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more

57、at do you really want to do in the gorgeous future?”I was silent for a moment playing with the cellphone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him down?” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”I guessed this may be not the answer he would
58、 expect. But he answered surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation. “Are you serious, Dad?”“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, its late. Lets take the
59、 boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs for dinner, and we can talk more.”Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast. We didnt talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.There were no big waves and
60、 bright sunlight at that time. “Lets see if we are lucky,” he said, and picked up a cage with a rope tied to it and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this.” Then we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck. To our joy, the cage was filled w
61、ith dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again. 注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
62、2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1:At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!”Paragraph 2:From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true.【答案】One possible version:Paragraph 1:At that moment, my father pointed
63、to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didnt give up his fight. Luckily, he succeeded finally, I was shocked and amazed and suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs
64、 that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and hold on to it.Paragraph 2:From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my concentration on school work, I spent all my spare time making full pre
65、parations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but meaningful, which helps me realize my dream. I also write articles to literary journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.
