這是一篇說(shuō)明文。加州大學(xué)洛杉磯分校的一位公共衛(wèi)生教授說(shuō)，養(yǎng)寵物可能提供一種新的醫(yī)療保健形式。近年來(lái)，科學(xué)家終于證明與動(dòng)物接觸可以增加病人的生存機(jī)會(huì)，并已被證明可以降低心率，安撫不安的孩子，并讓人們開(kāi)始交談。并說(shuō)明了動(dòng)物陪伴不同人群給他們帶來(lái)的益處。

【1】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)。本句主語(yǔ)與謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且根據(jù)上文As far back as the 1790s可知應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，主語(yǔ)為the elderly“老年人”，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)。故填were encouraged。

【2】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知use在句中應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式，與邏輯主語(yǔ)therapies構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去分詞。故填used。

【3】考查連接詞。句意：近年來(lái)，科學(xué)家終于開(kāi)始找到證據(jù)，證明與動(dòng)物接觸可以增加病人的生存機(jī)會(huì)，并已被證明可以降低心率，安撫不安的孩子，并讓人們開(kāi)始交談。此處為同位語(yǔ)從句，從句中不缺少成分，故用that引導(dǎo)。故填that。

【4】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意同上。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知lower在句中應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式，且根據(jù)上文be shown to do表示“被證明……”后跟不定式。故填to lower。

【5】考查連接詞。句意：科學(xué)家認(rèn)為動(dòng)物的陪伴是有益的，因?yàn)閯?dòng)物會(huì)接受和專(zhuān)注，它們不會(huì)批評(píng)或發(fā)號(hào)施令。此處為原因狀語(yǔ)從句，表示“因?yàn)椤睉?yīng)用because。故填because。

【6】考查比較級(jí)。句意：當(dāng)動(dòng)物在附近時(shí)，人們不僅看起來(lái)不那么焦慮，而且可能活得更久。結(jié)合后文but they may also live longer.以及句意表示“不那么焦慮”應(yīng)用形容詞比較級(jí)less anxious。故填less anxious。

【7】考查介詞。句意：與沒(méi)有動(dòng)物陪伴的老年人相比，有寵物的老年人去看醫(yī)生的次數(shù)更少，這可能是因?yàn)閯?dòng)物可以緩解孤獨(dú)感。表示“去……”短語(yǔ)為make a trip to。故填to。

【8】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：人們認(rèn)為和動(dòng)物呆在一起可以創(chuàng)造平靜的心境，給每個(gè)人都帶來(lái)有利的環(huán)境。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知result在句中應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式，與邏輯主語(yǔ)Staying with animals構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞。故填resulting。

【9】考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：有動(dòng)物在身邊時(shí)，他們會(huì)變得更隨和，有動(dòng)物作伴時(shí)，他們更容易冷靜下來(lái)。此處為“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”結(jié)構(gòu)定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞animals，且先行詞在從句中作定語(yǔ)，故用關(guān)系代詞whose。故填whose。

【10】考查代詞。句意：他們參與到與動(dòng)物的玩耍中，動(dòng)物的存在讓他們感到非常舒適。表示“某人參與……”短語(yǔ)為involve oneself in，此處指代上文they應(yīng)用反身代詞themselves。故填themselves。

Dear Jane,

Thanks for your last letter. I am glad that you are interested in reading books in English. I’ve just finished read The Diary of Anne Frank.

Anne, a unusual girl just like you and I, had to hide with her family or they would caught by the German Nazis. She couldn’t be outdoors or make friend, so she kept a diary who became her best friend. Although she suffered a lot, but she never gives up. She said she wanted others to remember her story after her death.

Lucky, her dream came true and her book is widely read around the world. The language is not difficult. I’m sure you will be crazy of the book. Write back soon and tell me what you like most about it.

Yours,

Jenny

【題目】 Although most people believe that owning a business or working on an idea means you are an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家), the reality is that entrepreneurship is so much more than just these two things. It is about the ability to innovate (創(chuàng)新) by helping society progress. For those who aspire to become real entrepreneurs, the path to turn your thought into entrepreneurship is one that requires you to know yourself.

Recognize what skills you are good at. Everybody wants money. But many fail to realize that money is the extension ( 延伸) of your skills, so the most important aspect of learning to make money starts by knowing what skills you have. Make a list of your skills and you should see where your strengths lie. The goal with this exercise is to recognize what skills you are good at naturally. Make good use of them until you finally change more of your skills into usable abilities for your business.

Make use of your confidence to create belief. Confidence is a result of repeating one thing. The more you practice doing something, the more confident you become in the process needed to see it to the end. Starting a business requires confidence, so most people who have zero confidence in the process fail to get started because it is an unknown area. You have to believe in the idea, the process and the ability within yourself to bring your business project to life. Without confidence, belief doesn't exist; without belief, the chances of giving up are high.

Allow your love to become enthusiasm. The last ingredient outside of your skills and confidence is the ability to focus on ideas that you feel enthusiastic about. Having passion will push you to struggle for something you love and turn that longing into action. The goal is to identify topics of interest so that you can start showing some aspects of passion as you start your project. The closer a project is to your heart, the less pessimistic you will become when results don't go your way.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.It is very difficult for us to know our skills.

B.Knowing your skills is the first step to learn to make money.

C.To recognize your skills will surely make your business successful.

D.To recognize your skills is more important than making money.

【2】What's the importance of enthusiasm for us?

A.It can help us find out what we love.

B.It can make us never feel pessimistic.

C.It can push us to work hard on our goals.

D.It will make us succeed in whatever we are doing.

【3】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.The advantages of confidence.

B.The ability to focus on ideas.

C.Why people want to be an entrepreneur.

D.How you can go from ideas to an entrepreneur.

【題目】Three simple keys to success

Being successful means different things to different people. 【1】 My point is, the specifics involved in finding success can vary greatly, depending on your goal.

There are three basic components necessary for finding success, regardless of the specifics of your pursuit. And, since the desire for ownership is the driving force behind acquisition, I’ll use the word OWN as my simple three-item method for success.

1.O-Opportunity: one of the most important components in finding success is being able to identify opportunity. It is to success what wind is to sailing. 【2】 Identifying opportunity is the first step; awareness sets your sails for success while your motivation provides the wind.

2.W-Wisdom: By definition, wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. 【3】 It requires clear understanding, great insight and good judgment. Once opportunity is identified, you must use all your inner resources to seize it and make the most of it. 【4】 Finding success when opportunity presents itself often means reaching out for help in areas where you have weakness.

3.N-Never give up: This might possibly be the most important for success. The key is to first break your goal down into workable parts so you don’t feel pressured, and then to work each part at ease with both enthusiasm and purpose. It takes a lot of time, effort and determination to succeed. 【5】

A.Being successful demands doing well.

B.But wisdom involves more than just knowing.

C.You simply can’t have one without the other.

D.Having this attitude keeps you moving in face of trouble and becomes the driving force.

E.Besides, wisdom means knowing your limitations.

F.You’ll finally succeed if you follow these steps.

G.The road to success is being largely determined by what result you want to achieve.

【題目】 On Hoxton Street in East London there is a very special children’s writing and mentoring(輔導(dǎo)) center called the Ministry of Stories, which is fronted by its shop , Hoxton Street Monster(怪獸) Supplies, where you can expect to find monster food. The store raises funds for this very special program that fires children’s imagination.

The youth aged 8 to 18 enter the Ministry, through a secret door that is designed to open a world of opportunity by encouraging a love for writing. The organization believes that, “Writing increases self-respect, improves communication and can change lives.” That’s because writing allows children’s voices to be heard.

This year, the workshop is celebrating 10 years of helping children discover a love for writing through creative programs. Founded by Lucy Macnab, Ben Payne and best-selling author Nick Hornby, the organization works with around 1,000 children per year participating in schools, and community programs across Hackney, Islington, and Tower Hamlets. It now has over 400 volunteers and runs its program free of charge for the youth of the areas.

“Through a range of creative writing programs, and one-to-one mentoring, we aim to help young people find their own qualities that can be developed,” Macnab told The Telegraph. “We build confidence, self-respect, and communication skills in both workshops for schools and out of school writing clubs.”

One 10-year participant, Nmeso, said that the weekly after-school club he attends at the Ministry has helped him grow his imagination and improve his academic performance. In fact, he was able to move up a grade in school. What’s even more remarkable is that Nmeso has had a story he wrote published ── along with other writers in the program ──titled Andre Has a Hard Time .This is Nmeso’s success story.

【1】What is the function of Hoxton Street Monster Supplies?

A.Advertising the mentoring center.

B.Supporting the Ministry of Stories.

C.Attracting young children to come.

D.Arousing children's interest in food.

【2】Why are some figures used in the paragraph 3?

A.To prove the program is popular.

B.To suggest writing is vital for children.

C.To attract readers’ attention to the center.

D.To show the value of running the program.

【3】What is the program intended to do?

A.To give the children a better future.

B.To help discover the children’s potential.

C.To help the children express opinions.

D.To develop the children’s writing skills.

【4】What does the author say about Nmeso?

A.He is ten years old this year.

B.He’s got his own book published.

C.He has benefitted a lot from the program.

D.He becomes very famous as a young writer.
