14、on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network
15、 during that period in their lives.

19、 big city all over the world. About 69% of last years pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DONT WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic. The
20、se pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right
21、to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber. Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestri
22、ans died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes. The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last
23、 year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was
24、 involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users.

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good
37、 feelings.Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune.
38、On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we
39、dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.
40、 We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing_the_error_to_the_clerks_attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action w

46、数150左右，开头已经写好，不计入总词数；3作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。To many people, music has always been part of life, and they listen to music on the radio, on TV, on iPad and on the Internet.As is vividly shown in the picture，_ _来源:Z|xx|k.Com答 案Growing pains单元检测(A卷全员必做).1.选C句意：这里的所有市民坚决要求那些被发现在街道上张贴有害广告的人应该受到严厉的处罚。find sb.
47、doing“发现某人正在做某事”，found putting up “harmful” advertisements in the streets作those的后置定语；insist意为“坚决要求”时，其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气形式“(should)动词原形”，故选C。2选C句意：没有人会想到房价会下降，但即便是这样，所发生的事情确实如此。anyhow意为“尽管，即使如此”，符合语境。moreover“此外，而且”；thus“于是，因此”；however“然而”。3选B句意：当今应该对汽车的使用设定一定的限度来减少空气污染。set a limit on .是固定搭配，意为“对设定限度”；“_us
48、e of cars”特指“汽车的使用”，第二空应用定冠词the。故选B。来源:学科网ZXXK4选C句意：“你认为陈光标会参加为孤儿筹款的晚会吗？”“我认为他会的。他很忙，但是他致力于这样的公共慈善活动。”I suppose so“我认为如此”，符合语境。Thats all right“没关系”；Of course not“当然不会”；Im not quite sure“我不十分确定”。5选C句意：在南非，英语是黑人家长们希望他们的孩子受教育时所采用的语言。the language 是先行词，关系词在定语从句中作状语，相当于in English。故选C。6选D句意：“你的表情为什么如此惊恐？”“
49、因为你戴着吓人的面具，差点把我吓死。”第一空用frightened修饰人的表情；第二空为谓语动词，由语境可知应用一般过去时态，故用frightened; 第三空修饰面具，用frightening，故D项正确。7选A句意：尽管目前为止，萨姆取得了不错的成绩，不过对他来说还有很多方面有待提高。even though意为“尽管，即使”，引导让步状语从句；as though意为“似乎，好像”，引导方式状语从句；now that意为“既然，由于”，引导原因状语从句；so that意为“以便，为了；以致”，引导目的状语从句或结果状语从句。由题意可知，A项正确。8选Aforbid sb. to do sth
50、.表示“禁止某人做某事”；其被动形式是sb. be forbidden to do sth.。本题的难点在于unless从句分割了forbid的用法，故选A。9选C句意：在超市里，商品的外文名字被弄混了，我很迷惑不知买什么好。mix up“混合，混淆”，符合句意。pick up“捡起，拾起”；show up“出现，到场”；fix up“修理”。10选A句意：随着打击盗版的深入，越来越多的人发现正版光盘值得购买。第一空further 用作及物动词，意思是“推进，促进”，与fight 之间构成被动关系，故用过去分词；deserve doing/to be done 意为“(某事)值得被做”，用动词
51、ing 形式是主动形式表示被动意义，故选A。11选B句意：那个女孩在选美比赛中未能成功，闷闷不乐地回家了。upset为形容词作状语，用来说明主语的状态。12选C句意：你工作太劳累了。你最好使工作与休闲保持平衡。keep a balance “保持平衡”， 符合句意。keep a promise “遵守诺言”； keep a diary “写日记”。13选C考查主谓一致。当主语后面有along with, as well as 等连接名词或代词时，谓语动词的数不受它们的影响，而是与主语保持一致，本题中主语是Lucy故谓语动词用单数形式；根据答语中的“I havent seen her these
52、 days”可知， Lucy已经“去了”海南还没回来， have/has been to 表示“去过某地”。故选C。14选C考查虚拟语气。根据句意“要充分利用时间，把每一刻都当做生命的最后一刻来生活”，可知，此处是与现在事实相反的一种虚拟，故选C。15选D根据时间状语“at that moment”可知，“occasion”指时间，故要使用关系副词when，相当于 at which time。.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。对青少年来说，搬家会令他们感到紧张和忧虑，因为这意味着要离开熟悉的环境、特别是熟悉的朋友们。对此，本文给出了一些建议来帮助青少年尽快适应新的环境。1选D推理判断题。根据第二段
53、最后一句“You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.”可知，其中的“You”实际上指的就是学生，即本文的目标读者。故答案选D。2选A细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，该段主要是讲述如果你搬到一个新地方，很长时间看不到朋友，不要绝望，可以通过信件、网络等方式与老朋友保持联系。故答案选A。3选C细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends
54、 faster.”可知，“导向计划”是给新学生提供帮助。故答案选C。4选C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句提到“there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.”可推测出，如果文章继续写下去，作者讨论的应该是父母和学校怎样来帮助孩子们。故答案选C。篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。一说起马路杀手，人们往往会想到司机，但那些不顾交通规则横穿马路的行人也当之无愧。5选A主旨大意题。第一段是文章中心，点出了本文的论点：无视交通规则的行人也是马路杀手。下文具体说明原因，最后一
55、段提出解决问题的办法。因此答案选A。6选B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中“Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual”可知，行人过分强调自我而无视交通规则从而导致车祸，故答案选B。7选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第三句“The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same disregard for traffic signals, inat
56、tention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs.”可知，D项不属于文中提到的导致行人死亡的最基本的原因。故答案选D。8选C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，作者提出了解决这些问题的办法，由此可知，作者对于因为行人造成的交通事故表示担心，故答案选C。Growing pains单元检测(B卷自主选做).语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在乘火车去投递个人简历的途中，把装简历的信封弄丢了，本来已经不抱任何希望了，几周之后他却收到面试通知并且得到了那份工作。作者想对帮他邮寄简历的人说：“你的小小善举对我却意
57、义重大，谢谢你。”1选C句意：因为不想再忍受和老板之间的紧张关系，我很冲动地辞职了。空格后面的this指的是作者与老板关系紧张这件事，故选C，put up with“忍受”。look up“查阅”；take up“占据”；come up with“提出”，均不符合语境。2选A由语境知，作者辞职时很冲动，并没做好准备，现在手边又没有其他的工作，所以现在作者心里应是焦虑的。故选A。hopeless语气太重，不符合题意。3选D句意：然后，有一天早晨我发现了一则招聘广告需要我这样的人。A项意为“解雇”，与语境不符，可排除；B项意为“雇用”，为过去时，表示已经受雇了，也不符合语境；C项意为“想念”，与语
58、境不符。D项意为“寻找”，符合语境。故选D。4选B由下文语境并结合选项可知，作者要去应聘，自己的简历当然要打印得很整洁。故选B。5选A根据下文“to get to the post office”可知，信封是要邮出去的，应在信封上写好寄信人和收信人的地址。6选C 根据上文“the post office”可知，作者在邮局可以把信封称重量，盖戳，然后寄出去。故选C。7选D由语境可知，作者下了火车，加入到上班一族的人群中走出车站，来到大街上。join意为“加入”，符合句意。故选D。8选B根据下文提到作者回去找信封可知，作者的信封不见了。missing是形容词，意为“失踪的，缺少的”，符合题意。故选
59、B。9选A根据下句“The train was still there.”和下文语境可知，作者因为发现信封丢失而原路返回寻找，因为是刚刚下了火车离开车站，所以只有站台(platform)符合逻辑。故选A。10选C根据上文可知，信封不见了，返回自己曾坐过的那节车厢的目的是为了找信封，因此search符合题意，故选C。a look of意为“的表情”，不符合语境，可排除。11选D根据下文可知，他是等火车离开后再看看铁轨上有没有信封，所以选择impatiently，意为“不耐烦地”，表示作者当时焦急的心情。作者并不是漫无目的地乱找，aimlessly“漫无目的地”，可排除。信封丢失后，找不到信封，作
60、者的心情应该是焦急的，而不是生气或兴奋。12选B根据空后的叙述：找不到信封，回家后坐在打字机旁边再打一份简历寄出去可知，这一系列行为都是符合人的正常做事逻辑的。logically“符合逻辑地”，符合语境。13选A根据空前的“bad”和下文“so I gave up”可推知，作者认为求职路上丢掉信封是不好的征兆，所以选择sign。fortune意为“运气”，为不可数名词，不能用冠词修饰，可排除。mark意为“标志，记号”，不符合逻辑。14选C根据下文语意和选项可知，应是三周后却“收到”了一封来信。receive“(客观上)收到”，符合题意。15选D根据作者在找工作这个语境和空后的“the com
61、panys managing director”可知，作者是去见这位主任面试。故选D。16选A由语境知，作者把装简历的信封丢失后，决定放弃了，却收到面试的邀请信，应该感到非常吃惊。17选C根据上文“got the job”和下文“as deputy general manager”可推知，C项正确。A、B两项是终止性动词，在肯定句中是不能和until连用的，故排除。18选B根据上下文语境可知，作者是在思考自己的简历是怎样到达收信人手里的。reach意为“到达”，符合题意。故选B。19选A本句是作者猜测的内容，作者认为一定是有人发现了那个信封，意识到这封求职信对其主人来说一定很重要，所以代为投递
62、了。故选A。20选D由上下文语境知，拾到自己丢失信封的那位好心人作者并不认识。故选D。.语篇解读：本文为一篇说明文。文章以例证的方式说明了“高尚品行造就幸福生活”的真理，并剖析了其中的原因，呼吁人们为提高生活幸福指数应该去做高尚的、值得人尊敬的事。1选A句意理解题。根据文章第五段倒数第二句“Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased.”可知，这种积极的、高尚的行为能增加人们的自尊感。故答案选A。2选B细节理解题。根据文中第五段第二句“Deep down inside we would kn
63、ow ourselves as a type of thief.”可知，答案应选B项。3选A句意理解题。根据文章第三段举的例子和第五段的内容可知，画线句指的是“告诉店员对某商品没有收钱的事实”。故答案选A。4选C细节理解题。根据文中第五段中的“Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable .”可知，如果我们告诉店员没有收钱的事情，店员会很感激。我们离店时，内心会有一种别人永远无法分享的荣誉感。故答案选C。5选D标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章以例证的方式说明了“高
64、尚品行造就幸福生活”的道理。故答案选D。.参考范文：To many people, music has always been part of life, and they listen to music on the radio, on TV, on iPad and on the Internet.As is vividly shown in the picture, the music fan is trying to download songs he enjoys, but every time he wants to download something, the website
65、requires payment first, which annoyed him. How he wishes that the music were all free!Many people download free online music regularly without even realizing they have done harm to others right. When we can no longer download for free, we will naturally become dissatisfied. However, as the intellect
66、ual property law has come into effect, websites are forbidden to provide free music download, which is certain to benefit the whole society in the long term.From my point of view, we should pay to download music. The artists work very hard to compose music. If they dont get paid, they will feel there is very little value in their work. In this case, many composers will lose passion to go ahead and gradually we will find beautiful music nowhere.
