三、阅读理解

    In one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.

    He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was. There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.

That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others, particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his income on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.

    His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.

    A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead.

1.What changed James' view towards life?
A.The difficulties in his career. B.The deaths in the bus accident.
C.The bad conditions in the hospital. D.The responsibilities in the operation.
2.James chose to retire in order to _________.
A.take care of the injured passengers 

B.find a better job to increase his income
C.spare more time and energy to help others

D.stay away from the difficult official duties
3.James' wife left because ________.
A.she was strongly against his deeds
B.James paid too little attention to his work
C.her work to support their daily life was too tiring
D. James failed to keep a balance between charity and home
4.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A.his decision to retire B.the departure of his wife
C.the argument with his wife D.his devotion to helping others

答案以及解析

一、补全句子

1.答案：the     major     causes

解析：考查名词，表示“原因”用cause，结合上文one of可知应用其复数形式；表示“主要的”用major,作定语，修饰causes；此处为特指，应用定冠词修饰名词，故填the major causes.

2.答案：has     a     major     role     to     play

解析：考查动词短语和主谓一致。结合原文，译文中缺少“扮演重要角色”，可用动词短语have a major role to play表示，意为“扮演重要角色；起重要角色”，根据句意，描述现在的情况，用一般现在时态，主语The committee是集体名词，在句中视作“整体”，谓语动词用单数形式。故填has a major role to play。

3.答案： honours     for     his     achievement     including

解析：考查名词和介词。根据句意“获得各种荣誉”可知，第一个设空处需用词形式被形容词various修饰，故需填可数名词复数形式。再根据“因为其成就”可知，需填短语for his achievement,包括为介词"including"。故填honours;for；his;achievement; including.

4.答案：was     held     to     further     promote

5.答案：obtained     issued     by

解析：考查时态和非谓语动词。第一空，根据句意，空处应填“获得”，应用动词obtain，结合语意，句子描述过去的一般性情况，应用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式，即obtained；第二、三空，根据句意，空处应填“颁发”，应用动词issue,分析句子，空处作定语，修饰a New Drug Certificate, issue与逻辑主语a New Drug Certificate之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式，后接介词by表示“被”，即issued by。故填obtained;issued;by。

二、单词填空

6.答案：major

7.答案：certificate

8.答案：military

9.答案：temporary

10.答案：further

三、阅读理解

答案：1-4.CCDB
解析：语篇解读:本文讲述了詹姆斯决心献身慈善事业,却忽略了事业与家庭之间的平衡,以致妻子愤然离去。受到打击的詹姆斯从此身体日渐衰弱、精神涣散,终日坐在窗前等待妻子归来,直到死去。

1.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知,詹姆斯之所以投身慈善,是因为他目睹了医院恶劣的条件给病人及其亲属带来的折磨。
2.解析:细节理解题。从第三段末的Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire...可知做慈善需要大量的时间和精力,让他无法做好自己的工作,所以他不得不选择退休,以便有更多的时间和精力去做慈善。
3.解析:细节理解题。从第四段中的Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home...可知,他的妻子不满他太专心于慈善工作而忽略了家庭,即没有在事业和家庭之间达到平衡。故选D项。
4.解析:词义猜测题。this指代的是前面的she left him, never to return,即妻子的离开。故选B项。

四、书面表达

答案：

Dear friends,

    On December 14th, 2015, Tu Youyou, a Chinese scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in Sweden for the discovery that helped cut the malaria death rates.

    As a scientist, she faced the challenge bravely and devoted her whole life to her research. It was hard work and determination that brought her to success. In spite of her great achievements, she remained modest, caring little about being famous or rich. What a great woman!

    Her devotion to work moved me so deeply that I am determined to learn from her and work harder at my lessons so that I may make great contributions to our country.

    Thanks for listening.
