It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the ____2____ team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game.

A
Who is a Real Danger? Cyclists or Pedestrians?
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road, but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists?
It’s about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.
—JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
34. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that __________.
A. walking while using phones hurts one’s eyes
B. some pedestrians are a threat to road safety
C. road accidents can actually be avoided
D. drivers should be polite to cyclists
35. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should __________.
A. be provided with enough roads B. be made to pay less tax for cycling
C. be asked to ride on their own lanes D. be fined for laughing at policemen
36. The three letters present viewpoints on __________.
A. ways to improve road safety B. the real source of road danger
C. measures to punish road offences D. increased awareness of road rules
【答案】34. B 35. C 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一片议论文。 本文围绕一个主题展开一场争论——谁才是马路安全隐患的威胁?不遵守交通规则的骑自行车的人给行人带了了很多的危险。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably worse offenders.(许多司机不尊重骑自行车的人。但行人可能是更糟糕的违规者)”和第四段“The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.(真正的问题是,一些行人似乎,至少目前,沉浸在他们自己的世界,对他们来说,自己比其他人的幸福更重要)”可推断,Michael Horan写信主要为了展示一些行人对道路安全构成威胁。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。 根据Carol Harvey所说的话“The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.(骑自行车的人都应该在早上和晚上使用自行车道和戴头盔,佩戴荧光夹克和灯。如果不穿他们应该支付一些税收和罚款)”可知,Carol Harvey建议要求骑自行车的人在他们自己的车道上骑行。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。由文章开头“Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger. We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.(忘记骑自行车的人,行人是真正的危险。我们正在就这个问题进行辩论。下面是读者的来信)”以及三封信的具体内容可知,这篇文章主要探讨了谁是道路安全的真正隐患,是骑自行车的人,还是行人?故选B。

The Lifecycle of a T-shirt
We all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? You'd probably be surprised to learn what's involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.
There are 5 major stages:material, production, shipping, use and disposal (处理). The material stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber (纤维) and not as harmful to the environment as man-made fibers, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides (杀虫剂) is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4. 1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US.
Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc. —these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants, and can eventually pollute groundwater.
After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stag. This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服) are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck, all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1. 15 pounds per mile.
Once T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times you've washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers.
The final stage of life is disposal. This release harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down. Current US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.
We all need new clothes every once in a while, but let's all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing. It has a real impact on the planet.
There are a lot of things and you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycled clothes. If they're too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the thermostat (恒温器) on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.
37. The underlined phrase “takes a toll” probably means “___________”.
A. uses energy B. wastes water C. has a bad effect D. takes a lot of time
38. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.
B. Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.
C. The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.
D. The production process may affect water safety.
39. What is the purpose of this article?
A To introduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing.
B. To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.
C. To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.
D. To encourage people to donate clothes to charity.
【答案】37. C 38. D 39. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了T恤从生产、使用到废弃处理几个阶段对环境造成的不良影响,并对此提出一些改善建议。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides (杀虫剂) is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming.(商业棉花种植需要大量的水和杀虫剂的使用(杀虫剂) 在全球范围内普遍存在,尤其是在棉花种植业。)”可知,这里讲述的商业种植棉花因大量用水很杀虫剂产生了负面影响,而这句话正是对前文takes a toll的解释说明,故该词组的意思为“不好的影响”。故选C项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants, and can eventually pollute groundwater.(商业染料和漂白剂是有害的污染物,最终会污染地下水。)”可知,因生产T恤使用的染料和漂白剂,地下水遭污染,故推测用水安全也会因此受到不良影响。故选D项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“There are a lot of things and you can do to help reduce your impact.(你可以做很多事情来帮助减少影响。)”可知,在分析了许多和T恤相关的环境问题之后作者呼吁我们读者采取行动减少不良影响,可推测本文写作目的为呼吁和衣服相关的且对生态环境友好的行为。故选C项。
C
Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失)in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.
When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives,it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.
What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的)mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for it’s tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.
The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics... none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒)and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.
With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.
40. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage?
A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.
B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.
C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.
D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.
41. According to Paragraph 3, happiness .
A. is the opposite of fulfillment
B. is free from physical or mental pain
C. stresses the psychological difference
D. serves as a respected and noble life goal
42. We can learn from the passage that .
A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming
B. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness
C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking
D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations
43. The passage encourages the readers to .
A find fulfillment with all efforts B. seek for a pain-free existence
C. keep optimistic whatever happens D. balance happiness and suffering
【答案】40. D 41. B 42. A 43. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了古希腊人的生活目标,Eudaimonia与happiness的区别,鼓励人们尽一切努力寻找满足感。

推理判断题。由第二段“The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.古希腊人不相信生活的目的是快乐;他们提出,生活的目的是为了实现Eudaimonia,这个词最好翻译 理解为“满足”可知,在古希腊,Eudaimonia被认为是生活的目的。故D选项正确。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture”快乐与满足的区别在于痛苦。在压力下、在身体上或精神上遭受痛苦、负担过重以及经常处于易怒的情绪下,是很有可能得到满足的。这是一个微小的心理差异,这很难让“幸福”这个词捕捉到。可知,幸福没有身体或精神上的痛苦。故B选项正确。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。由末段“With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood.”想到了eudaimonia这个词,我们就可以不用想象我们的目标是一个没有痛苦的生活,不用不公平地责怪自己心情不好。可知,追求幸福可能导致错误的自责。故A选项正确。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment...Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.”可知,这篇文章鼓励读者尽一切努力找到满足感。故A选项正确。
【点睛】通过对关键词的把握是解决推理判断题的重要的方法之一。通读短文我们可知,短文主要介绍了Eudaimonia与happiness的区别,鼓励人们尽一切努力寻找满足感,一味儿的最求幸福感,会给自己带来很多烦恼。由末段“With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood.”中的关键词“stop imagining”“blaming”可知,不追求“ Eudaimonia ”而是最求“happiness”可能导致错误的自责。故A选项为第3小题的正确选项。

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. _____44_____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. _____45_____
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
_____46_____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. ___47___but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind._____48_____Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
B. We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation.
C. We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.
D. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.
E. The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
F. What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks.
G. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕失败、疲劳和成功的关系展开论述,以亲身经历为例提出措施如何解决启动疲劳和执行疲劳。
【44题详解】
根据上文“There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.(没有什么比不成功更累的了)”和下文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult.(在前一种情况下,我们总是推迟一项任务,因为它要么太无聊,要么太难)”可知,空格处应总的指出疲惫感分为两种情况,引出下文。选项C“We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.(我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳:启动疲劳和执行疲劳)”指出了两种疲劳,符合语境。故选C项。
【45题详解】
根据下文“And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.(我每天的工作都是从写作这项艰巨的任务开始的。经验证明这条规则是有效的)”推知,前文应该指出了作者所说的规则是什么。选项E“The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.(解决方案很明显,但可能不容易应用:总是先处理最困难的工作)”恰好提出了一个规则,即先处理最困难的事,符合语境。故选E项。
【46题详解】
下文“Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.(尽管我们愿意开始工作,但我们似乎不能把工作做好)”指出我们愿意开始工作,即没有启动疲劳,可知本段开始讨论第二种疲劳:执行疲劳。选项A“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.(执行疲劳更难处理)”符合语境。故选A项。
【47题详解】
根据下文“but none of them worked.(但是没有一个奏效)”可知空格处应该指出作者尝试了很多办法,都没有成功。选项D“Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.(以前从来没有这样做过,我日复一日地不断提出解决方案)”表明作者反复提出了许多解决措施,符合语境。故选D项。
【48题详解】
根据上文“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.(一个小时后,我突然醒来,脑海中清晰地浮现出解决方案)”和下文“Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.(虽然我和以前一样努力工作,但我并不感到疲劳)”推知,作者的方案是凑效的,因此他才没有觉得累。选项G“In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.(在接下来的几周里,我潜意识中想到的解决方案在每一步都被证明是正确的)”符合语境。故选G项。

第一节(共4小题:第50、51小题各2分,第52小题3分,第53小题5分:共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Good Taste of Knowledge
The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.
Nothing is more annoying than to meet a person at a party whose mind is crammed (填塞) full with historical dates and figures and who is extremely well-posted on current international affairs, but whose attitudes or points of view are all wrong. I have met such people. They do have great academic knowledge, but no good judgment or taste. Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their scholarship (学术成就), conduct and taste..
An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of judgment, and the unwillingness to be affected by any form of power.
When a man is wrong, he is wrong, and there is no need for one to be impressed by a great name or by the number of books that he has read and we haven't.
Taste, then. is closely associated with courage. as the Chinese always associated dan (“胆”) with shi (“识”) And courage or independence of judgment, as we know, is such a rare virtue among humankind. We see this intellectual courage or independence during the childhood of all thinkers and writers who in later life amount to anything. Such a person refuses to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory, even though it is backed by the greatest name. this is taste in knowledge.
No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish. nave confidence in oneself, but this self is the only thing that one can cling to. and the moment a student gives up-his right of personal judgment, he is m for accepting all the dishonest and insincere of life.
49. According to the author, what is the goal of education?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
50. Why is a well-read man not necessarily an educated one?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement: Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself; then underline it and explain why Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
52. Please name one person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history and explain what about this person makes you think so. (In about 40 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】49. The aim of education is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct.
50. Because the cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.
51. Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself. Because being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. The independence of judgment isn’t affected by any form of power.
52. I think the person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history is Confucius, who refused to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory and had his own independence of judgment. Confucius believed that the object of education should be “taught without class”. And he allowed students to attend schools regardless of their wealth or race.

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.(有教养的人或理想的有教养的人不一定是博览横书或博学的人,而是喜欢或不喜欢正确的东西的人。懂得什么该爱,什么该恨,就是对知识的鉴赏力)”可知,懂得什么该爱,什么该恨,对知识有鉴赏力的人才是博学的人。故答案为Because the cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things.

【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their scholarship (学术成就), conduct and taste.( 知识渊博仅仅是对事实或信息的死记硬背,而有良好的品味则是艺术判断。说到学者,中国人一般会把他们的学识、品行和品位区分开来)”以及文章“An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of judgment, and the unwillingness to be affected by any form of power. (因此,一个受过教育的人是一个有正确的爱与恨的人。我们称之为品味,而伴随着品味而来的是魅力。要有品味,需要有一种彻底思考事物的能力,独立的判断能力,以及不愿受任何形式的权力影响的能力)”可知,独立的判断能建立对自己的信心。故答案为Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself. Because being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. The independence of judgment isn’t affected by any form of power.

第二节
53. Recently there have been increasing reports on the fact that a lot of graduates with shiny educational backgrounds are applying for the grassroots (positions. And there is an English saying “a big fish in a small pond” to describe the phenomenon. What is your opinion on this? Please write a “for” and “against” essay on this topic (You should discuss both sides of the issue and then give your own opinion)。
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Now, many graduates from famous universities are applying for some grass-roots positions. Many people are in favor of it . They think the knowledge learned in the university should be practiced in the society. Only from the grass-roots level can we accumulate more experience. And it will sublimate the knowledge we learned in the university.
But some people don’t think so. They think that students graduated from famous schools have a high starting point, so it is beneficial for them to find a high starting point job that matches their knowledge. Moreover, this work can also provide them with the resources and experience they need so that their talents can be fully utilized.
As far as I am concerned, no matter what school we graduated from, it is the most important to find a job that suits us. However, if they can get a job from a high starting point, I believe that these graduates can play a bigger role and make greater achievements.
