It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.
I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?
The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.
24．What does the author want to show by telling a classic story?

B．Kids’ struggle in learning instruments.

D．The popularity of learning instruments.

A．She finally quit formal training.
B．She never treated it as her hobby.
C．She was in pure love with music and piano.
D．She once experienced great pressure from herself.
26．What helped the author find confidence?
A．Her attitude. B．Her training.
C．Her compromise. D．Her achievement.
27．What message is mainly delivered in the passage?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Love is a thing that grows.
C．Content is better than riches.
D．Chance favors the prepared mind.

He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says,"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by 2 keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the real and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
32．Why does’ the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A．To stress the importance of reading.
B．To explain what they are.
C．To encourage readers to share their ideas.
D．To introduce BookCrossing.
33．What does the underlined word “it" in Paragraph 2refer to?
A．An adventure:
B．The book
C．A public place.
D．The identification number.
34．What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A．Pass it on to another reader.
B．Mail it back’ to its owner.
C．Keep it safe in his bookcase.
D．Meet other readers to discuss it
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Online Reading: A Virtual Tour y
B．A Website Links People through Books
C．Electronic Books: A new Trend L
D．A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

Defining what an ideal friend is like is not an easy task. 36 However, generally speaking, there are certain qualities that most people would consider as characteristics of an ideal friend.
The ideal friend knows how to show weakness. The ideal friends don’t try to prove how successful they are. 37 They show how much they trust us by admitting failings and sorrows. They offer us the gift of their vulnerability (脆弱).
38 More often than it’s comfortable to admit, we don’t quite know what we think until a proper friend gently asks us to expand on a thought, to explain why we’re impressed by it and to find good answers to possible objections. They see the potential in what we’re saying when we can’t.
The proper friend helps build our self-understanding. There are so many things we don’t entirely comprehend about who we are. We find it hard to pin down our goals. 39 We might have some strong opinions, but it can be difficult to explain really why these ideas matter to us. The right friend listens and helps us piece together the best account of our fears and excitements.
They help us to like ourselves. Normally we’re intently alive to our own shortcomings; it’s more obvious, from our point of view, what’s disappointing about us than what’s attractive. We need a friend because we’re likely to be so very unfriendly towards ourselves. 40
A．A true friend helps us think.
B．We get defensive and we don’t really know why.
C．Loyalty is a common quality given to ideal friends.
D．The good friend likes us in ways we’re not easily able to.
E．Everyone has their own understanding of what the ideal friend is like.
F．On the contrary, they let us know embarrassing things about themselves.
G．They care for your well-being over any issues that may arise between you and them.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.

【原文】 Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Belfast, one of the youngest capital cities in the world. In the 17th century, it was only a village. Then during the 19th century, the development of industries like rope-making, engineering, and tea trade doubled the town’s size every ten years. The city is well known for its shipbuilding. It was here that the “Titanic” was built.
Here is your brief tour around Belfast. This morning you will visit City Hall. This afternoon, you will visit the zoo and this evening, you will go to a concert at Ulster Hall. Tomorrow morning, you will visit the Ulster Museum and see the gold treasure of the 16th-century Spanish warship. In the afternoon, you will go to the Botanic Gardens and you will walk among rare plants. And then you will visit the Palm House. You will have a free evening so you can go to some local pubs. You can enjoy some Irish folk music there. Next morning at 10, you will fly back to London. I hope you will enjoy the two-day tour. Thanks.

For me, it was.(这是一个经典的故事：一个孩子从小就被迫学习一种乐器，他们在整个童年时期都在演奏，并与之发展出苦乐参半的关系。对音乐的热爱和对不断挑战的憎恨之间不断的斗争值得吗？对我来说，是的。)”可知，文章讲故事是为了说明孩子们在学乐器方面的挣扎，然后引出介绍自己的情况。故选B项。

28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons.(他的生意可能会让你大吃一惊。他制造并销售炸药。他的公司甚至制造和销售武器。)”可知，Alfred的生意是制造并贩卖炸药的。故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world.(虽然Alfred Nobel从武器中赚了很多钱，但他讨厌战争。他希望世界上不会有战争。)”以及“According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. (根据他的遗嘱，他的大部分钱都存入了一个基金。)”可知，Alfred Nobel赚了很多钱，但是他痛恨战争，所以在他去世后，按照他的遗愿，把他的大部分钱建立了一个基金，由此可知，他创立诺贝尔和平奖是因为他痛恨战争。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year.(他希望基金的利息每年都用作奖金。)”可知，Nobel Prizes的主要来源是他基金中的利息。故选C项。
31．细节理解题。根据尾段中的“He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth.(他靠自己的努力赚了钱，但他把财富留给了世界。)”可知，Alfred Nobel努力工作并将所挣的钱全部留给了世界人民分享。故选D项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个叫做BookCrossing的网站的功能和设置该网站的目的。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段的“You must have always known reading is of importance and just think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing. com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.(你肯定知道阅读是很重要的，考虑成为读书小组的人。他们选择书籍阅读，然后会面讨论。现在website BookCrossing.com为读书小组的想法翻开了新的篇章)”可知，作者在第一段提到读书小组是为了介绍BookCrossing这个网站。故选D项。
33．词句猜测题。根据it所在句“Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.(然后这个人把书放在公共场所，希望这本书可以有一个奇遇，每一个发现它的阅读者都可以带它走的更远)”可知，那些留下书的人希望自己的书能够随着发现它的人走得更远。其中的it指代前半句中的“the book”。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.(成员可以把书留在公园长凳上，公交车上，火车站和咖啡厅。发现书的人就去网站登记他们在哪找到它的)”可知，他们把书放在那些地方的目的，就是让其他人能够找到并且阅读。因此可推知，读完书的人最可能做的是继续把书传递给另一个读者。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。由文章的第三段的“Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”(Bruce Pederson，BookCrossing的总经理说：“改变你生活的两件事是你遇到的人和你读过的书。BookCrossing把两者结合了”)”可知，网站BookCrossing.com把书和人们联系了起来，因此推断B项“A Website Links People through Books(通过书籍把人联系起来的网站)”为最佳标题。故选B项。

36．空前“Defining what an ideal friend is like is not an easy task.(定义一个理想的朋友不是一件容易的事。)”说明要定义一个理想的朋友并不容易，空后“However, generally speaking, there are certain qualities that most people would consider as characteristics of an ideal friend.(然而，一般来说，有一些品质，大多数人会认为一个理想的朋友的特征。)”说明有些品质是大多数人认为理想的朋友都有的，由此可见，人们对于理想的朋友的理解是不同的，E选项“Everyone has their own understanding of what the ideal friend is like.(理想的朋友是什么样的，每个人都有自己的理解。)”说明每个人对理想的朋友的理解是不同的，引出后文一致的理解，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选E。
37．空前“The ideal friends don’t try to prove how successful they are.(理想的朋友不会试图证明他们有多成功。)”说明理想的朋友不会试图证明他们有多成功，空格处应该说他们会怎么做，F选项“On the contrary, they let us know embarrassing things about themselves.(相反，他们让我们知道他们自己的糗事。)”说明理想的朋友会说出自己的糗事，这和前面的证明他们有多成功相反，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
38．空格处是本段的主题句，由空后的“More often than it’s comfortable to admit, we don’t quite know what we think until a proper friend gently asks us to expand on a thought, to explain why we’re impressed by it and to find good answers to possible objections.(很多时候，承认这一点很舒服：我们不太清楚自己在想什么，直到一个真正的朋友温柔地要求我们进一步阐述一个想法，解释为什么我们对这个想法印象深刻，并为可能的反对意见找到好的答案。)”说明真正的朋友会帮助我们思考，A选项“A true friend helps us think.(真正的朋友帮助我们思考。)”说明了真正的朋友会帮助我们思考，因此概括了本段的主旨，可作为主题句，故选A。
39．空前“There are so many things we don’t entirely comprehend about who we are. We find it hard to pin down our goals.(关于我们是谁，我们有很多事情没有完全理解。我们发现很难确定我们的目标。)”，空后说“We might have some strong opinions, but it can be difficult to explain really why these ideas matter to us.(我们可能会有一些强烈的意见，但真的很难解释为什么这些想法对我们很重要。)”，由此可见，我们有很多事情不理解，空格处也应该是说我们不理解一些事情，B选项“We get defensive and we don’t really know why.(我们变得有戒心，我们也不知道为什么。)”也说明我们不理解为什么我们会变得有戒心，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。
40．本段主题句是“They help us to like ourselves.(他们帮助我们喜欢自己。)”，空前“We need a friend because we’re likely to be so very unfriendly towards ourselves.(我们需要朋友，因为我们可能对自己非常不友好。)”说明我们可能对自己不友好，所以需要朋友，这说明真正的朋友会喜欢我们，D选项“The good friend likes us in ways we’re not easily able to.(好朋友喜欢我们的方式是我们不容易做到的。)”说明了好朋友会喜欢我们，他们喜欢我们的方式是我们自己做不到的，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选D。

56．考查冠词。句意：“数字原生代”乔是一名来自伦敦的学生，他从小就开始使用电脑。根据句意和空格后的以辅音音素开头单数可数名词student可知，空格处应该填入不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。

66．Dear Simon,
I am glad to receive your letter asking for my advice.
You say you don’t have enough time to finish your homework. I think you had better plan your day carefully. At first, it will be a good choice to make a list of all the homework you have to do, which will give you an idea of how much free time you can use to play basketball. Second, don’t give up your hobby and don’t forget about your study, either. For students, nothing is more important than learning in senior high school. Therefore, you should keep a balance between study and hobby.
Hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．范文
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. The next day, she began to practice singing outside. Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later, she could sing as she was walking.A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, “Emily, coward! Emily, coward!” However, she chose to ignore his behavior.
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, you sing really well!” Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighborhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one.
