2、 am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from colleg
3、e to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic，and very emotional. A year later came
4、 our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on th
5、e dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set
6、an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just singleminded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks
7、huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams. 21.

8、the author quit school in her second year of college? AShe wanted to study by herself. BShe fell in love and got married. CShe suffered from a serious illness.

CDA B “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，”said David Belle，the cofounder of parkour (跑酷)Do you love ru
10、nning？It is a good exercise，yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls？Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obst

It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes，thats parkour，an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible，getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human
12、 body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city，they may jump over fences，run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacl
13、es on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(哲理)behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination，go straight，and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life，to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said，“
14、I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life，my way to do everything.”Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom.

16、 AIt challenges human abilities. BIt is a good but boring sport. CIt needs special training. DIt is a team sport.BCA C An idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to
17、read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattl
18、e librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong
19、 Kong. In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children readi
20、ng to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, w
21、here a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many p
22、eople read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 27. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy? ATo invite authors to guide readers. BTo encourage people to read and share. CTo
23、 involve people in community service.DTo promote the friendship between cities. 28Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project? AThey had little interest in reading. BThey were too busy to read a book. CThey came from many different backgrounds. DThey lacked support from the local g
24、overnment.29. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out? AIn large communities with little sense of unity. BIn large cities where libraries are far from home. CIn mediumsized cities with a diverse population. DIn large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.3
25、0The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean_. Aexchanged ideas with each other Bdiscussed the meaning of a word Cgamed life experience Dused the same languageBCDA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。Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotio

43、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。At a recent 6-yearolds birthday party together with my daughter，I watched two girls playing in a playroom. Three boys came over and decided they were going to drive the girls away.“No girls allowed，”said one boy. The other two boys crowded around the girls for effect. O
44、ne of the girls, in fear，did as she was ordered and left the playroom. The other girl stood her ground. “We were here first. You cant kick us out，”she said.They werent my kids, so I gently told the boys that everyone was allowed to play in the playroom. The boys ignored me, and continued to push the
45、 remaining girl out of the room. The girl fell on the ground and screamed in pain. The boys went on with their nogirlsallowed game. I took the girl over to the parents at the party and explained what had happened. What followed was a lesson in how girls were schooled in male power and privilege(特权)T
46、he girls mother told her that she should have stayed away from the boys. The message to the girl was that it was her fault because she didnt do what the boys had ordered. A father of one of the boys laughed and told me that I should have caught the girl as she fell. There were no consequences for th
47、e boys. Their violence was so much an accepted part of their behavior that it didnt even raise an eyebrow. In fact, the attitude of the father was that using physical strength to get what you wanted was to be celebrated. The message to the boys was that they could hurt girls without any consequence.
48、 Another mother said，“Its so hard for boys and girls to play together at this age.”注意：1所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1：To that mothers words，my response is：No！Its not！_Paragraph 2：My sixyearold daughter observed the events at the party.
49、 _【答案】To that mothers words，my response is：No！Its not！We are all humans，born without any difference. Though it seems to be a small thing，just a quarrel among children，what it shows is that girls are now suffering from prejudice. Actually，boys and girls are just like two poles of our Earth，so they ca
50、nt be apart and there is nothing about who are better. Boys should have a respectful attitude to girls. I think all the parents should teach their children that boys and girls have the same rights.My sixyearold daughter observed the events at the party. And afterwards she said，“Mom，I think those boys cant drive the girls away and even injure them.”I said，“Thats true，my dear. Girls are now being looked down upon，but you need to understand that we are equal，though some people dont think like this.” My daughter nodded and said，“I will try my best to stop violence against women and girls.”
