I was a snarky（尖刻的）15-year-old girl. I was mean at times.” Imagine you are a 15-year-old girl growing up in the shadow of your elder sister.This is Julia’s situation at the beginning of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Brika L. Sanchez. But things change quickly. Julia’s sister, Olga, is killed in a traffic accident. Her mother is heartbroken and so is Julia. Olga becomes a saint after her death. Their mother continuously compares Julia to Saint Olga, who now can do nothing wrong.You expect that you’ll feel sympathetic（同情的）toward Julia, but Sanchez tries hard to make her unlikable. This is remarkable for a young-adult novel. Sanchez has written a character whom the reader might not want to be friends with. As Julia herself says at one point, “I do dislike most people and most things.” She especially dislikes Mexican-American culture. Nor does she care very much for her “best friend” Lorena.Then we learn that Olga wasn’t the perfect girl although her family thought she was. Julia finds out that her sister had a secret life.The novel is funny and smart, which helped get it nominated（提名）for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.It also has a point to make about stereotypes（刻板印象）and expectations. Non-Mexican-Americans have ideas about Mexican-Americans, but Mexican-Americans also have ideas about each other.In this story, we see how the “perfect” Mexican daughter is expected to act, but you’ll see that maybe there’s no such thing as perfection.26．What do we know about Julia after her sister dies?A．She is afraid of riding in cars.B．She dislikes all people and all things.C．She still lives in the shadow of her elder sister.D．She finally becomes a “perfect” daughter to her mother.27．What is the creative thing about this novel?A．The main character has an unpleasant personality.B．It is set in Mexican-American culture.C．It focuses on a difficult family relationship.D．It has a surprising and unhappy ending.28．What does Sanchez want to tell us through this novel?A．People should work hard to perfect themselves.B．No one can meet others’ expectations of perfection.C．People often have expectations of how others should behave.D．Everyone has his or her own secret life.BThere are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the Earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.●Plant flowers, grass or trees.●Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there-keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin.●Turn off the lights and TV sets when you leave the room. This can save a lot of electricity.●Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.●Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.●Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.●Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.●Use both sides of paper.●Stop pouring dirty water into the rivers or lakes nearby.●Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the Earth.You don’t have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。29．From the above, we know that this is ________.A．a sign B．a proposal(倡议书) C．an advertisement D．a notice30．The writer tells us ________.A．to throw rubbish into a bag B．to pour dirty water into the riversC．to save water by not letting it run while brushing our teeth D．that we can’t do all these things until Earth Day31．We can ________ to save paper.A．use a paper cup B．use both sides of paperC．give new books to a library D．pick up waste paper at a school32．Which of the following is NOT true according to the writer?A．Turn off the lights when you leave the room.B．Close the doors and windows in winter.C．Use a paper cup when you brush your teeth.D．Give your old clothes to the poor children.33．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Protect the Earth B．Save Water and ElectricityC．Make Better Use of Old Things D．Save MoneyCWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about – creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.34．What does the underlined word “remedy” probably mean?A．Avoid. B．Accept.C．Improve. D．Consider.35．When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.A．blame him for his being short of responsibilityB．find a better way to deal with the problemC．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．ask a more able colleague for help36．What can be the best title for the passage?A．A Winner’s Secret. B．A Winner’s Chance.C．A Winner’s Problem. D．A Winner’s Progress.DHave you ever experienced the feeling of falling as you start to fall asleep? Sometimes you may come to realize this feeling. If so, don’t worry. Many people have felt the same thing.In fact, these muscle twitches (肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks (入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As you’re about to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that you’re falling. Then the brain jerks the body awake as if it’s trying to protect you.Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our heart rate (心率), breathing and nervous system can act irregularly (不规律地). If the body experiences flashes (一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.If you don’t want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep. But keep in mind: a caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.37．The third paragraph mainly tells us_____________.A．there are all kinds of theories about hypnic jerksB．different phases of sleep might cause hypnic jerksC．People sometimes get anxious or uncomfortableD．the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself38．How many theories on what causes hypnic jerks are mentioned?A．Two B．Four C．Three D．Five39．Which of the following can make hypnic jerks happen more often?(1)Drinking caffeinated drink         (2)Singing songs for a long time before sleep(3)Too much stress                 (4) Reading a book quietlyA．(1)(2)(3) B．(1)(2)(4) C．(2)(3)(4) D．(1)(3) (4)40．What is the best title?A．How to Experience Hypnic Jerks B．What causes Hypnic JerksC．Feelings of Falling While Going to Sleep D．Sleeping Is Good for Our Health 第二节  阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）   阅读短文及文后A～E 选项，选出可以填入41～45 各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t had good harvests for years. “If God lets me control the weather, then everything will get better,” he complained. “I’m a farmer. ___41___ ”“Well, I give you one year,” God said. “You will be in charge of all kinds of weather. Let’s see what your crops will grow like.”On hearing this, Joe was excited and immediately shouted, “Sunny!” ___42___ He was pleased and shouted again, “Rain!” The sky was covered with dark clouds right away, then after a while, heavy rain poured down.Watching the seeds (种子) growing bigger and bigger and becoming crops, Joe felt very satisfied. ___43___ He went to the field to get his crops. But his heart suddenly sank when he found the strong crops even hadn’t grown a grain (谷粒). ___44___  Once again, God heard him. “Do you want to know why you still don’t get the good harvest you want?” God asked. “That’s because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow and ice, or anything that could make the air fresher and the roots stronger. ___45___ ”After he realized this, Joe asked God to take back the power. It proved only through life’s challenges would we harvest the fruit of life.A．Then, the harvest season came.B．Suddenly, the clouds went away.C．He was quite confused and started to cry.D．Without strong roots, of course the crops won’t grow any fruit.E．I know what’s the best for crops (庄稼) to grow than God does.四、写作(共三节，满分30分) 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）     阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确的形式，没空限填一词。答卷时，要求写出完整的单词。One day Sam and Jerry were going home from school.
