One day, I was sitting in a local coffee shop, and staring at this man in a wheelchair. He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat.
He saw me staring at him and invited me to join him at his table. His name was Stephen. For several hours we sat at that table and we got to know each other on a deeply personal level. I had never known a man who was more radiant(容光焕发), more energizing to talk and get to know than Stephen.
Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver. He was in the natural gas business. Thirteen years before, when he was forty, he was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery to occur any moment.
He said, “I had so much nervous energy. I saw the storm clouds gathering, and I decided to clean out the gutters(屋檐排水沟) rather than sitting around waiting for this gas well to come in.”
He climbed up the ladder to clear the piles of pine needles(松针) on the roof. As he backed up, he accidentally fell off the roof. He landed on his back. He was paralyzed(瘫痪) for the rest of his life, except for his head and his hand.
I asked him, “How do you do it all? How do you suddenly stop hiking, fishing, and running marathons?”
He said, “There are three things you have to do when something like this happens. The first thing you have to do is adjust. The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.”
He said, “By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations. If you can’t be a physical athlete any longer, then perhaps you can be a spiritual athlete.” He was.

What can a person over 80 do? A group of 33 Japanese grannies can answer this question. The singing and dancing grannies set up a band called KBG84 in 2015. The average age of the members is 84, its oldest member is 97 years old!

The new band, based on the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa, went viral in the country so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success. Their first single, titled Come on and Dance, Kohama Island, has made it to the top of the charts, and they’ve just completed a sell-out tour of Japan.
“We felt like stars in Tokyo,” added 86-year-old Hideko Kedamori. “Everyone in the audience had a big smile, which gave us the energy to sing our hearts out. We’re lucky to have been born in beautiful Kohama. Our songs are about the island and nature—whales in the sea spouting(喷出水柱) or dolphins doing somersaults(空翻). ”
Regardless of the songs, these elderly women are very charming when they perform. Their energy and enthusiasm are amazing, in view of their age. In fact, no one under the age of 80 is allowed into the band. It turns out that the pop queens are blessed with incredible genes—Okinawan islanders have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. Their diet chiefly consists of vegetables and local purple-fleshed sweet potatoes, with practically no added sugar. Menaka said she isn’t particular about her diet.
“I look after my health by cleaning my home, wiping the floors, cooking rice,” she said. “I stay in the shade when it’s too hot. I don’t want to get burnt. I have to take care of my skin—I’m still young at heart! ”
8. What does the underlined words “went viral” mean in paragraph 2?
A. suffer a great loss. B. make much progress.
C. take a huge risk. D. gain great popularity.
9. Which of the following best describes KBG84’s feeling when they succeeded?
A. cheerful. B. surprised.
C. crazy. D. satisfied.
10. What are KBG84’s songs mainly about?
A. Audience’s encouraging smile. B. Lovely animals on the land.
C. Their deep love for the nature. D. Inspiring times in their life.
11. What can we know from what Menaka said in the last paragraph?
A. She has a high life expectation.
B. Doing housework is challenging for her.
C. She prefers a hot weather to a cold one.
D. Having good skin is what she is proud of.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在日本冲绳，一群又唱又跳的老奶奶们在2015年成立了名为“KBG84”的乐队并迅速走红。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后半句“so that the members are rather shocked by their success.(以至于成员们都对他们的成功感到相当震惊。)”可知，这支新乐队迅速走红。所以went viral为“获得大受欢迎”之意。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The new band, based on the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa, went viral in the country so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success. (这支新乐队以冲绳偏远的小滨岛为基地，在全国走红，以至于成员们都对他们的成功感到相当震惊。)”可知，KBG84的成员对于她们的成功感到惊讶。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“We’re lucky to have been born in beautiful Kohama. Our songs are about the island and nature—whales in the sea spouting(喷出水柱) or dolphins doing somersaults(空翻). ”(我们很幸运出生在美丽的科哈马。我们的歌是关于岛屿和大自然的——海里的鲸鱼喷出水柱，海豚在做空翻。)”可推断，KBG84的歌曲主要讲的是她们对自然的热爱。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I look after my health by cleaning my home, wiping the floors, cooking rice,” she said. “I stay in the shade when it’s too hot. I don’t want to get burnt. I have to take care of my skin—I’m still young at heart! ”(她说：“我通过打扫房间、擦地板、做饭来照顾自己的健康。”“天太热的时候我就呆在阴凉处。我不想被烫伤。我必须照顾我的皮肤——我的心还年轻！”)”可推断，Menaka对生活的期望很高。故选A。
D
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand different.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put vloggers as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach the audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(交流) with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortunes. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but that allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
12. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A. Traditional jobs are not creative enough.
B. The Internet make it easier to be a show star.
C. They are eager to communicate with others.
D. The Hollywood studios develop too slowly.
13. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A. Being a vlogger is not a good career. B. A vlogger cannot earn fame or fortunes.
C. Not all vloggers can be successful. D. Dreams will come true one day.
14. Why does Israeli David Leshaw run the Finishers Club?
A. To be a popular star. B. To earn a lot of money.
C. To meet more friends. D. To share his hobby.
15. Which of the following is suitable title for the text?
A. Great influence of Internet on young Britons’ career choice.
B. Social media’s great impact on young people’s daily life.
C. To be vloggers, to be rich and respected.
D. To be a vlogger, or not to be-that is a question.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了互联网正影响着英国年轻人现在的职业选择。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They have made it so much easier to reach the audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.(他们使它更容易接触到全世界的观众，而不必以传统的方式进入演艺圈。)”第四段“In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(交流) with their fans about everyday life.(在过去，最大牌的明星都是由好莱坞制片厂培养出来的；现在，任何人只要有一台电脑相机就可以成为明星。视频博主是当今的大明星，因为他们是普通人，与粉丝交流日常生活。)”可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主，是因为互联网让做明星变得更容易。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.(每一次成功的背后，都有成百上千的人从未从起跑线上走下来。有些梦想会成真，有些梦想永远只是梦想。)”可推断，不是所有的视频博主都能成功。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第最后一段“Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but that allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. (虽然做视频博主很受欢迎，但一些年轻人选择从事的职业不一定能让他们出名，但却能让他们很好地利用互联网分享自己的爱好。例如，年轻的以色列人大卫·勒肖经营着一家名为Finishers Club的公司。这是一个让跑步者记录比赛的在线平台。他的工作让他能够表达自己的热情，而且总是一种学习的经历。这对他来说就足够了。)”可推断，色列人大卫·勒肖要管理Finishers Club是为了分享他的爱好。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put vloggers as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.(这项对1002人进行的调查发现，多达40%的人将视频博主列为理想职业的第一选择。)”、第三段“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media.(这种变化无疑是互联网和社交媒体的结果。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了互联网正在影响着英国的年轻人的职业选择。所以“Great influence of Internet on young Britons’ career choice.(互联网对英国年轻人的职业选择影响很大。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you love yourself? You may think you do, but do you really? There’s only one way to find out — by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. You may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work. ____16____:
Listen Closely to Your Thoughts
Your thoughts will determine your actions. ____17____It is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. Instead of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad that you can keep in your pocket for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. Whichever method you choose, what’s most important is that you write your thoughts down. It will help you know what’s in your heart.
____18____
To do this, you should pay attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable? On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more positive choices in your life. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.
Take Quiet Time to Listen to Your Inner Voice
This is similar to the first point, but it takes a step further—beyond the natural mind to the heart that cannot be seen. You may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. However you use this time, ____19____Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important—even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to hide somewhere to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.
Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits.____20____
A. One thing helping you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal.
B. the time shouldn’t be too long.
C. the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself.
D. Here are three ways for gaining greater personal insight for deeper love
E. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.
F. Be Honest with Yourself
G. it is difficult to keep relationships with people around you.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述如何通过洞悉自己的内心来更好地爱自己。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work.(你可能不喜欢你发现的一些东西，但如果你真的想真正爱自己，你可以用这种洞察力来做一些积极的内在工作)”可知，如果你对于爱自己是认真的，可以用这种洞悉内心来做一些积极的内在工作，下文讲述了三种具体的方法，故D项“这里有三种为更深层次的爱而获得更好的自我洞悉的方法”承上启下，符合语境。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据本段主题句“Listen Closely to Your Thoughts(仔细倾听你的想法)”可知，本段主要讲述仔细倾听自己的想法，结合下文“It is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life.(你没有必要每天都写，但它有助于记录你在生活中获得的各种见解)”可知，空处应是提供倾听内心想法的方法——记录自己的想法，A项“帮助你倾听自己想法的一件事就是写日记”符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
本题是段落主题句，根据本段内容“By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.(对自己诚实，你就会按照事实行事，而不是你告诉自己什么)”可知，本段主要说要对自己诚实，F项“对自己诚实”符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important(安静的时候深呼吸也能帮助你集中注意力。我知道在特别忙碌的日子里很难找到安静的时间，但这很重要)”可知，此处是说无论你如何使用这个时间，要找一个安静的时间集中精力去倾听内心的声音，C项“关键是通过关注自己的内心深处，把周围所有的噪音都排除在外”符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits.(不管你的思想告诉你什么，你都可以拥有无限的爱)”可知，不管内心告诉自己什么，都可以对自己有无限的爱，E项“关键是首先要无条件地爱自己”与上文语义一致，且符合全文主题。故选E项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficullt, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibity,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I’ll become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’tget full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with‘s-i’instead of‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something ever more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he could’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
