Good evening and thank you for coming to the Soccer Club meeting. I know you are looking forward to a great football season. Now I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you about some changes to the Soccer Club for the coming season. This season we’ll be playing all our matches for both the junior and senior competitions at King’s Park, instead of Royal Park or Queen’s Park, which were used last season. As usual, we hope to begin the season with a picnic next Saturday at the clubhouse. Please try and come to the picnic as it’s always good fun. At the last week of the season we usually have a big dinner and present prizes to the players. This season we have more teams than ever. We hope to have ten teams, instead of five, in the junior competition and they will play at 8:30 am on Saturday mornings. Training sessions will be held in King’s Park on Wednesday afternoons for the juniors and they will be wearing red shirts again this year. In the senior competition, there’ll be four teams, the same as last year, and their games will be played on Saturday afternoons starting at 2:30 pm.

Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town. When I was growing up, Mum and Dad didn’t have much money, but they’d saved enough for a few days in Bournemouth. I was four years old at the time. I don’t actually remember much about the trip, apart from being devastated when we had to leave. Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.
Forty years on, my wife and I returned for a week’s break. I was nervous, wondering if I’d be able to bring back that delight I’d felt as a child. I needn’t have worried. We had a fantastic time. It helped that the British weather had decided to provide us with high temperatures and plenty of sun. But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.
Bournemouth and its neighbour, Boscombe, are always busy, alive with chatter, music and other lively sounds. But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.
One morning, we made a short trip to Poole Quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island. Owned by the National Trust, it’s a feast for the eyes, from its mock Tudor entrance, to the many peacocks walking around, to the magnificent views of the sun sparkling on the shining waters and boats bobbing up and down, seen from the island’s highest point.
Before we knew it, it was time to return home—but not before waving goodbye to the sea.
24. Which of the following best explains “devastated” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Sorrowful. B. Surprised.
C. Thrilled. D. Desperate.
25. What made the author feel nervous?
A. The fear of losing childhood memories.
B. The adjustment to the new circumstances.
C. The uncertainty of recalling childhood delight.
D. The exposure to high temperatures and sunshine.
26. what does the author think about Boscombe Chine Gardens?
A. It boasts seaside views. B. It belongs to wild animals.
C. It is free of the town’s noise. D. It reminds him of his childhood.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Farewell to Bournemouth. B. Working in a wonderful place.
C. A childhood unforgettable story. D. Revisiting a childhood favourite.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者最喜欢的海滨小镇，作者小时候和父母在此地的回忆，以及四十年后作者和妻子在此地度假时的心情。
24. 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.（妈妈说我爱上了这个地方，每次要走的时候都坚持要向大海挥手告别。）”可知，我很喜欢这个地方，要走的时候我坚持要跟大海告别。我慢慢地长大，但是我一直认为Bournemouth是个美好的地方。由此可以推断出，我对这个地方非常不舍，离开的时候都很难过。由此可知划线词词义为“难过的”，故选A。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was nervous, wondering if I'd be able to bring back that delight I'd felt as a child.（很紧张，不知道自己是否能找回儿时的快乐。）”可知，因为我害怕我在这趟旅行中找不到童年时候在那里的快乐，所以我有点紧张。故选C。
26. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“ But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.（但当我们步入Boscombe Chine Gardens时，所有的噪音都消失了。当我们沿着小路漫步时，一种平静的感觉传遍了我们的全身，松鼠在树上爬上爬下，美丽的植物颜色鲜艳，我们都很高兴。）”可知，当我们踏入Boscombe Chine Gardens，感觉很安静，内心变得很平和。故选C。
27. 主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句提到“Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town.（多塞特郡的伯恩茅斯一直是我最喜欢的海滨小镇。）”，第二段最后一句提到“But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.（但伯恩茅斯让我着迷，让我觉得自己又回到了童年。）”同时在第三、四段中都提到了作者在伯恩茅斯小镇上度假时开心的状态，由此判断本文讲述了作者和妻子重游了自己童年很喜欢的地方，故选D。
C
The rapid and uncontrolled expansion of today’s cities is causing anxiety not only among urban planners and architects, but also experts in the field of public health. They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.
Beijing, a city of over 21 million residents, is an example of this social isolation. Until the early 1980s, the Chinese capital, was constructed as quantities of Siheyuan. This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as “collections of small rural villages”. Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape. Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these “small rural villages” have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.
Physical isolation has destroyed the local sense of solidarity (团结), and contributed to the destruction of what were once united family groups. As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.
The disordered growth of today’s cities can no longer be ignored. The great challenge is how to improve the quality of urban life by ensuring harmonious growth. Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city. Cities should learn from the experiences of other cities with similar characteristics. This effort requires not only the participation of urban planners but public health and environmental experts, politicians, and fundamentally, the communities themselves.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. People in the city don’t know their neighbors.
B. Experts are concerned about housing problems.
C. Cities’ disordered development has caused problems.
D. Environmental pollution is harmful to people’s basic health.
29. What can we learn about Beijing at present?
A. People in Beijing become isolated.
B. Siheyuan in Beijing becomes precious.
C. The outer structure of Beijing becomes messy.
D. Skyscrapers make Beijing become international.
30. What does isolation in physical space probably lead to?
A. Loss the citizens’ sense of responsibility.
B. People’s freedom to enjoy the leisure time.
C. Reconstruction of the united family groups.
D. Workers being worn out on the way to work.
31. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Cities should completely follow the pattern of other cities.
B. The development of a city is at the expense of its elegance.
C. Old-fashioned architectures and skyscrapers can coexist in a city.
D. Communities play the most important role in harmonious growth of cities.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市快速发展带来了很多问题。
28. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.(他们感到震惊的是，无序的城市扩张正在通过环境污染、住房不足和越来越多不认识邻居的邻居剥夺人们的基本健康和福祉)”可知，第一段主要讲述城市无序发展所造成的问题。故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as “collections of small rural villages”. Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape.Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these “small rural villages” have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.(这种开放的结构极大地加强了邻居之间的联系，鼓励了资源共享，形成了家庭之间的密切关系。由于这些特点，这些建筑被称为“小乡村集合”。直到20世纪80年代中期，只有少数几座摩天大楼破坏了这里景观的和谐。今天的北京具有现代城市的外观和感觉，这些“小村庄”已经被高耸的摩天大楼所取代。这种惊人的变化不仅限于外部结构；它也极大地改变了人与人之间的亲密关系)”可推知，现在北京人人际关系疏远了，变得孤立了。故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.(由于家和工作地点之间的距离也大大增加，员工们现在发现，他们把曾经宝贵的家庭时间花在了令人精疲力竭的通勤上，挤在拥挤的公交车或地铁里)”可知，物理空间的隔离很可能导致工人在上班的路上疲惫不堪。故选D。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city.(摩天大楼不应该是人们在城市中看到的唯一风景。老式但独特的建筑反映了一个城市的历史、性格，甚至是文化)”可推知，作者认为现代建筑和旧式风格的建筑应该在城市发展过程中共存的。故选C。
D
It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”
The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive — and newly single — mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.
In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation (繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives.
Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.
It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.
32. Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring ________.
A. very temporary delight
B. great enjoyment in progress
C. happiness in one’s memory
D. concern over love and hatred
33. Paragraph 2 is intended to show that ________.
A. celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.
B. single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.
C. news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.
D. having children is highly valued by the public.
34. According to the passage, those childless folks________.
A. are less likely to be satisfied with their life
B. are largely ignored by the media.
C. fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.
D. are constantly exposed to criticism.
35. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.
B. Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child raising.
C. Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.
D. We sometimes neglect the happiness from child raising.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是抚养孩子和幸福的关系。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense conditionEven though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”.(Senior建议，我们需要重新定义幸福，而不是认为孩子让父母快乐或痛苦。我们不应该认为幸福是可以用每时每刻的快乐来衡量的，而应该把幸福视为一种过去式的状态。尽管抚养孩子的日子漫长难熬，令人筋疲力尽，但Senior写道:“正是那些心绪沉重的时刻，日后可能会成为我们快乐的来源。)”可知，Jennifer Senior在她的文章中建议抚养孩子可以带来记忆中的幸福，故选C。
33. 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single – mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.(在杂志封面上，一位迷人的母亲抱着一个可爱的婴儿，这并不是本周报摊上唯一一张麦当娜和孩子的照片。此外，还有关于刚当上养母和单身母亲的桑德拉·布洛克的故事，以及常见的“詹妮弗·安妮斯顿怀孕了”的新闻。实际上，每周至少有一位明星妈妈或准妈妈在报摊上微笑。)”可知，本段主要展示的是公众非常重视生孩子。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives(不但是那不幸福的没有孩子的人却为类似这样的信息所困扰：“孩子是世上唯一最可珍惜的东西”，显然，你们的不幸必须通过生儿育女才能得以消除。)”可知，那些没有孩子的人经常受到批评。故选D。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.(但有趣的是，我们想知道，我们每周看到的无压力、提高幸福感的父母形象，是否在某种微小的、潜意识的方式导致了我们对实际体验的不满，就像我们中有一小部分人希望了解名人的生活方式，可能会让我们看起来有点像他们)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出明星妈妈影响了我们对抚养孩子的态度。故选B。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A high school student has a science test on Monday but spends most of the weekend playing video games and does not start studying until late Sunday night. This kind of avoiding or delaying of work that needs to be done is called procrastination(拖沓). It has been said that up to 95% of people procrastinate at least sometimes, and about 20% of them do it too much. ___36___
The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. Someone who loves bicycles might not delay fixing a tire, while someone who does not may put it off.
___37___ For example, those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them.

【解析】本文是议论文，短文从四个方面来分析了有拖沓症的原因。一是愉快或不愉快的人们对这项任务的感觉怎样。二是人们的自信程度也与拖延症有关。三是拖延症和人们必须等待多久才能看到努力的回报是有联系的。四是人们自己是否有自控能力。
36. 承上启下句。根据The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. 第一个因素是愉快或不愉快的人们对这项任务的感觉怎样。研究表明，人们会推迟他们觉得不愉快的任务。所以上句应该提到拖沓的原因。选项F Although researchers do not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general agreement about some factors that can explain it.尽管研究人员对拖延症的所有原因并没有达成一致意见，但在一些能够解释拖延症的因素上却达成了普遍共识。故选F。
37. 主旨句。根据第一段叙述的是第一个拖沓的原因，第二段叙述的是第二个拖沓的原因。根据those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them. 那些对成功期望较低的人更有可能推迟开始工作。另一方面，那些相信自己能出色完成任务的人会接受具有挑战性的任务，而不是逃避它们。这里叙述了两种情况，选项C In addition, the amount of confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to procrastination此外，他们对自己完成任务的能力的自信程度也与拖延症有关。故选C。
38. 主旨句。根据Studying hard in high school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; 在高中努力学习可能不会给高中生任何即时的奖励。这里提到关键词rewards；与选项A Besides, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must wait before they see the reward for an effort. 此外，拖延症和人们必须等待多久才能看到努力的回报是有联系的。这里也到了关键词rewards，故选A。
39. 承上句。根据it is hard to see the benefit of making an effort when the reward is too far away. 当回报太遥远时，很难看到努力的好处。因此引出选项G：This can explain why many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are young. 这可以解释为什么很多人年轻时不开始存钱养老。前后句式因果关系。故选G。
40. 承上句。根据Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. 有趣的是，据说年龄与自我控制有关。后面叙述年龄与自控的关系。选项B. Research shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing their work until the last minute. 研究表明，年纪越大的人越不可能把工作拖到最后时刻。前后句是解释说明的关系。故选B。

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Hugely ambitious in scope, The Lord of the Rings occupies an uncomfortable position in 20th century literature. This book of J.R.R.Tolkien’s poses a challenge to modern literature and its defenders. (Tolkien on his ___41___: “Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, ridiculous, or annoying; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently ____42____.”) Yet The Lord of the Rings has enjoyed massive and enduring popularity. It would seem that Tolkien’s work supplied something that was ____43____ among the formal innovations of 20th century fiction, something for which readers were hungry. But what was it, and why was it important?
It seems that the key point lies in Tolkien’s wholehearted rejection of modernity and modernism. This is what so powerfully ____44____ some readers, and just as powerfully drives away others. In his book J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, T.A. Shippey expands on this idea by arguing that Tolkien saw his story of Middle-earth not as fiction or invention, but as the ____45____ of something genuine that had become buried beneath the fairy tale and nursery rhythm.
“However fanciful Tolkien’s creation of Middle earth was,” Shippey writes, “he did not think that he was entirely ____46____. He was ‘reconstructing’, he was harmonizing conflicts in his source-texts, sometimes he was supplying entirely new concepts, but he was also reaching back to an imaginative world which he believed had once really ____47____, at least in a collective imagination.”
The book is also deeply grounded in Tolkien’s linguistic expertise （语言专长） —he ____48____ whole languages for his characters. Sometimes he became so absorbed in the creation of languages, in fact, that he ____49____ the story itself for months or years at a time, believing he could not continue until some inconsistency（不一致）in his invented world had been resolved. But Tolkien’s great intellect and knowledge is not the source of his ______50______; without his storytelling gift, The Lord of the Rings would be little more than a curiosity. And this gift seems to originate straight from his ______51______ to break from classical and traditional forms.
Tolkien himself often spoke of his work as something ‘found’ or ‘discovered’, something whose existence was ______52______ of him. It’s wise to be careful with this sort of interpretation, but it seems ______53______ that he believed his work to be something given, something revealed, which contained a kind of truth beyond measure. ______54______, his details have the weight of reality, and because of this his great sweep of story feels real as well; you might say that his ______55______ castles are built with a certain amount of genuine stone.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
It was just the three of us-my parents and me. I always felt it a pity that I would never have a chance to know what grandparents’ “spoiling” love would be like.
My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. My mom is a devoted teacher, always busy switching between looking after her only child and her many students.
We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door.
Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection.
One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to fly a kite. It was his company that made father’s constant absence not so unbearable.
When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out, “what if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My parents said I could ask them tomorrow.

From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. The next day, heart pounding in my chest, I knocked on Bill and Arlene’s door, sat down in their living room and stammered out my question tentatively, “Will you guys care to be my grandparents?” At these words, they were petrified with surprise and the room fell into an awkward silence. “Maybe they are not so fond of me as I thought.” I murmured to myself, doubts crowding in on me. I was about to sneak out when my friends reached out their arms and embraced me tightly. “Of course!” they responded enthusiastically, tears of joy brimming in their eyes.
From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. They even went to great lengths to print out an adoption certificate, and it hung on their living room wall proudly. Over the years, my dear grandparents supported me in all my gloomy days, encouraged me to pursue dreams regardless of numerous obstacles, and imparted their invaluable wisdom to me selflessly. I could find no words to express how grateful and fortunate I felt for their presence in my life. However, it was when they told me in their last days that how much joy and comfort I had brought into their otherwise tedious life that I truly became the luckiest grandson in the world.

W: My publisher just gave me a huge assignment. I have to have this new work finished by the end of this month.
M: I didn’t know you were a writer. What kind of book are you writing?
W: I don’t technically write it. I just review the written material and make changes to it so there aren’t any errors.
M: I see. That sounds like it takes a long time.
W: Sometimes. This one is hard because it is non-fiction. It is the life story of an eastern emperor that lived hundreds of years ago. The fact checking is what takes up all the time.
M: I can imagine.
W: Not only that, but there are different histories about the man from European and North American scholars. It isn’t easy to figure out what is true, and what is just someone’s opinion.
M: How long has it already taken you?
W: I can usually finish books like these in four months, but this one has taken me twice as long. There is a lot of information in it, and it is a very important work, so I want to do a good job.
M: Well, let me know when you are done. I’d love to read it.

Good evening and thank you for coming to the Soccer Club meeting. I know you are looking forward to a great football season. Now I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you about some changes to the Soccer Club for the coming season. This season we’ll be playing all our matches for both the junior and senior competitions at King’s Park, instead of Royal Park or Queen’s Park, which were used last season. As usual, we hope to begin the season with a picnic next Saturday at the clubhouse. Please try and come to the picnic as it’s always good fun. At the last week of the season we usually have a big dinner and present prizes to the players. This season we have more teams than ever. We hope to have ten teams, instead of five, in the junior competition and they will play at 8:30 am on Saturday mornings. Training sessions will be held in King’s Park on Wednesday afternoons for the juniors and they will be wearing red shirts again this year. In the senior competition, there’ll be four teams, the same as last year, and their games will be played on Saturday afternoons starting at 2:30 pm.

Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town. When I was growing up, Mum and Dad didn’t have much money, but they’d saved enough for a few days in Bournemouth. I was four years old at the time. I don’t actually remember much about the trip, apart from being devastated when we had to leave. Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.
Forty years on, my wife and I returned for a week’s break. I was nervous, wondering if I’d be able to bring back that delight I’d felt as a child. I needn’t have worried. We had a fantastic time. It helped that the British weather had decided to provide us with high temperatures and plenty of sun. But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.
Bournemouth and its neighbour, Boscombe, are always busy, alive with chatter, music and other lively sounds. But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.
One morning, we made a short trip to Poole Quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island. Owned by the National Trust, it’s a feast for the eyes, from its mock Tudor entrance, to the many peacocks walking around, to the magnificent views of the sun sparkling on the shining waters and boats bobbing up and down, seen from the island’s highest point.
Before we knew it, it was time to return home—but not before waving goodbye to the sea.
24. Which of the following best explains “devastated” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Sorrowful. B. Surprised.
C. Thrilled. D. Desperate.
25. What made the author feel nervous?
A. The fear of losing childhood memories.
B. The adjustment to the new circumstances.
C. The uncertainty of recalling childhood delight.
D. The exposure to high temperatures and sunshine.
26. what does the author think about Boscombe Chine Gardens?
A. It boasts seaside views. B. It belongs to wild animals.
C. It is free of the town’s noise. D. It reminds him of his childhood.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Farewell to Bournemouth. B. Working in a wonderful place.
C. A childhood unforgettable story. D. Revisiting a childhood favourite.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者最喜欢的海滨小镇，作者小时候和父母在此地的回忆，以及四十年后作者和妻子在此地度假时的心情。
24. 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.（妈妈说我爱上了这个地方，每次要走的时候都坚持要向大海挥手告别。）”可知，我很喜欢这个地方，要走的时候我坚持要跟大海告别。我慢慢地长大，但是我一直认为Bournemouth是个美好的地方。由此可以推断出，我对这个地方非常不舍，离开的时候都很难过。由此可知划线词词义为“难过的”，故选A。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was nervous, wondering if I'd be able to bring back that delight I'd felt as a child.（很紧张，不知道自己是否能找回儿时的快乐。）”可知，因为我害怕我在这趟旅行中找不到童年时候在那里的快乐，所以我有点紧张。故选C。
26. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“ But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.（但当我们步入Boscombe Chine Gardens时，所有的噪音都消失了。当我们沿着小路漫步时，一种平静的感觉传遍了我们的全身，松鼠在树上爬上爬下，美丽的植物颜色鲜艳，我们都很高兴。）”可知，当我们踏入Boscombe Chine Gardens，感觉很安静，内心变得很平和。故选C。
27. 主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句提到“Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town.（多塞特郡的伯恩茅斯一直是我最喜欢的海滨小镇。）”，第二段最后一句提到“But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.（但伯恩茅斯让我着迷，让我觉得自己又回到了童年。）”同时在第三、四段中都提到了作者在伯恩茅斯小镇上度假时开心的状态，由此判断本文讲述了作者和妻子重游了自己童年很喜欢的地方，故选D。
C
The rapid and uncontrolled expansion of today’s cities is causing anxiety not only among urban planners and architects, but also experts in the field of public health. They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.
Beijing, a city of over 21 million residents, is an example of this social isolation. Until the early 1980s, the Chinese capital, was constructed as quantities of Siheyuan. This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as “collections of small rural villages”. Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape. Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these “small rural villages” have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.
Physical isolation has destroyed the local sense of solidarity (团结), and contributed to the destruction of what were once united family groups. As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.
The disordered growth of today’s cities can no longer be ignored. The great challenge is how to improve the quality of urban life by ensuring harmonious growth. Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city. Cities should learn from the experiences of other cities with similar characteristics. This effort requires not only the participation of urban planners but public health and environmental experts, politicians, and fundamentally, the communities themselves.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. People in the city don’t know their neighbors.
B. Experts are concerned about housing problems.
C. Cities’ disordered development has caused problems.
D. Environmental pollution is harmful to people’s basic health.
29. What can we learn about Beijing at present?
A. People in Beijing become isolated.
B. Siheyuan in Beijing becomes precious.
C. The outer structure of Beijing becomes messy.
D. Skyscrapers make Beijing become international.
30. What does isolation in physical space probably lead to?
A. Loss the citizens’ sense of responsibility.
B. People’s freedom to enjoy the leisure time.
C. Reconstruction of the united family groups.
D. Workers being worn out on the way to work.
31. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Cities should completely follow the pattern of other cities.
B. The development of a city is at the expense of its elegance.
C. Old-fashioned architectures and skyscrapers can coexist in a city.
D. Communities play the most important role in harmonious growth of cities.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市快速发展带来了很多问题。
28. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.(他们感到震惊的是，无序的城市扩张正在通过环境污染、住房不足和越来越多不认识邻居的邻居剥夺人们的基本健康和福祉)”可知，第一段主要讲述城市无序发展所造成的问题。故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as “collections of small rural villages”. Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape.Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these “small rural villages” have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.(这种开放的结构极大地加强了邻居之间的联系，鼓励了资源共享，形成了家庭之间的密切关系。由于这些特点，这些建筑被称为“小乡村集合”。直到20世纪80年代中期，只有少数几座摩天大楼破坏了这里景观的和谐。今天的北京具有现代城市的外观和感觉，这些“小村庄”已经被高耸的摩天大楼所取代。这种惊人的变化不仅限于外部结构；它也极大地改变了人与人之间的亲密关系)”可推知，现在北京人人际关系疏远了，变得孤立了。故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.(由于家和工作地点之间的距离也大大增加，员工们现在发现，他们把曾经宝贵的家庭时间花在了令人精疲力竭的通勤上，挤在拥挤的公交车或地铁里)”可知，物理空间的隔离很可能导致工人在上班的路上疲惫不堪。故选D。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city.(摩天大楼不应该是人们在城市中看到的唯一风景。老式但独特的建筑反映了一个城市的历史、性格，甚至是文化)”可推知，作者认为现代建筑和旧式风格的建筑应该在城市发展过程中共存的。故选C。
D
It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”
The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive — and newly single — mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.
In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation (繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives.
Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.
It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.
32. Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring ________.
A. very temporary delight
B. great enjoyment in progress
C. happiness in one’s memory
D. concern over love and hatred
33. Paragraph 2 is intended to show that ________.
A. celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.
B. single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.
C. news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.
D. having children is highly valued by the public.
34. According to the passage, those childless folks________.
A. are less likely to be satisfied with their life
B. are largely ignored by the media.
C. fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.
D. are constantly exposed to criticism.
35. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.
B. Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child raising.
C. Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.
D. We sometimes neglect the happiness from child raising.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是抚养孩子和幸福的关系。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense conditionEven though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”.(Senior建议，我们需要重新定义幸福，而不是认为孩子让父母快乐或痛苦。我们不应该认为幸福是可以用每时每刻的快乐来衡量的，而应该把幸福视为一种过去式的状态。尽管抚养孩子的日子漫长难熬，令人筋疲力尽，但Senior写道:“正是那些心绪沉重的时刻，日后可能会成为我们快乐的来源。)”可知，Jennifer Senior在她的文章中建议抚养孩子可以带来记忆中的幸福，故选C。
33. 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single – mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.(在杂志封面上，一位迷人的母亲抱着一个可爱的婴儿，这并不是本周报摊上唯一一张麦当娜和孩子的照片。此外，还有关于刚当上养母和单身母亲的桑德拉·布洛克的故事，以及常见的“詹妮弗·安妮斯顿怀孕了”的新闻。实际上，每周至少有一位明星妈妈或准妈妈在报摊上微笑。)”可知，本段主要展示的是公众非常重视生孩子。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives(不但是那不幸福的没有孩子的人却为类似这样的信息所困扰：“孩子是世上唯一最可珍惜的东西”，显然，你们的不幸必须通过生儿育女才能得以消除。)”可知，那些没有孩子的人经常受到批评。故选D。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.(但有趣的是，我们想知道，我们每周看到的无压力、提高幸福感的父母形象，是否在某种微小的、潜意识的方式导致了我们对实际体验的不满，就像我们中有一小部分人希望了解名人的生活方式，可能会让我们看起来有点像他们)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出明星妈妈影响了我们对抚养孩子的态度。故选B。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A high school student has a science test on Monday but spends most of the weekend playing video games and does not start studying until late Sunday night. This kind of avoiding or delaying of work that needs to be done is called procrastination(拖沓). It has been said that up to 95% of people procrastinate at least sometimes, and about 20% of them do it too much. ___36___
The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. Someone who loves bicycles might not delay fixing a tire, while someone who does not may put it off.
___37___ For example, those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them.
___38___ Studying hard in high school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; what they learn might not seem useful to the present. Sometimes. it is hard to see the benefit of making an effort when the reward is too far away. ___39___
Lastly, another factor is whether or not people can use self-control. Those who have less self-control can easily be drawn away from their work. Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. ___40___
If procrastination is a problem for you, the first step to reducing it is identifying the reasons behind it. It is only by understanding the roots of your problem that you can choose the appropriate method for yourself.
A. Besides, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must wait before they see the reward for an effort.
B. Research shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing their work until the last minute.
C. In addition, the amount of confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to procrastination.
D. As it is common to most people, how to avoid procrastination has become a major concern.
E. What's more, it has been argued that too much confidence can also lead to procrastination.
F. Although researchers do not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general agreement about some factors that can explain it.
G. This can explain why many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are young.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. G 40. B
【解析】本文是议论文，短文从四个方面来分析了有拖沓症的原因。一是愉快或不愉快的人们对这项任务的感觉怎样。二是人们的自信程度也与拖延症有关。三是拖延症和人们必须等待多久才能看到努力的回报是有联系的。四是人们自己是否有自控能力。
36. 承上启下句。根据The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. 第一个因素是愉快或不愉快的人们对这项任务的感觉怎样。研究表明，人们会推迟他们觉得不愉快的任务。所以上句应该提到拖沓的原因。选项F Although researchers do not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general agreement about some factors that can explain it.尽管研究人员对拖延症的所有原因并没有达成一致意见，但在一些能够解释拖延症的因素上却达成了普遍共识。故选F。
37. 主旨句。根据第一段叙述的是第一个拖沓的原因，第二段叙述的是第二个拖沓的原因。根据those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them. 那些对成功期望较低的人更有可能推迟开始工作。另一方面，那些相信自己能出色完成任务的人会接受具有挑战性的任务，而不是逃避它们。这里叙述了两种情况，选项C In addition, the amount of confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to procrastination此外，他们对自己完成任务的能力的自信程度也与拖延症有关。故选C。
38. 主旨句。根据Studying hard in high school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; 在高中努力学习可能不会给高中生任何即时的奖励。这里提到关键词rewards；与选项A Besides, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must wait before they see the reward for an effort. 此外，拖延症和人们必须等待多久才能看到努力的回报是有联系的。这里也到了关键词rewards，故选A。
39. 承上句。根据it is hard to see the benefit of making an effort when the reward is too far away. 当回报太遥远时，很难看到努力的好处。因此引出选项G：This can explain why many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are young. 这可以解释为什么很多人年轻时不开始存钱养老。前后句式因果关系。故选G。
40. 承上句。根据Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. 有趣的是，据说年龄与自我控制有关。后面叙述年龄与自控的关系。选项B. Research shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing their work until the last minute. 研究表明，年纪越大的人越不可能把工作拖到最后时刻。前后句是解释说明的关系。故选B。

第一节(共15小题:每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Hugely ambitious in scope, The Lord of the Rings occupies an uncomfortable position in 20th century literature. This book of J.R.R.Tolkien’s poses a challenge to modern literature and its defenders. (Tolkien on his ___41___: “Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, ridiculous, or annoying; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently ____42____.”) Yet The Lord of the Rings has enjoyed massive and enduring popularity. It would seem that Tolkien’s work supplied something that was ____43____ among the formal innovations of 20th century fiction, something for which readers were hungry. But what was it, and why was it important?
It seems that the key point lies in Tolkien’s wholehearted rejection of modernity and modernism. This is what so powerfully ____44____ some readers, and just as powerfully drives away others. In his book J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, T.A. Shippey expands on this idea by arguing that Tolkien saw his story of Middle-earth not as fiction or invention, but as the ____45____ of something genuine that had become buried beneath the fairy tale and nursery rhythm.
“However fanciful Tolkien’s creation of Middle earth was,” Shippey writes, “he did not think that he was entirely ____46____. He was ‘reconstructing’, he was harmonizing conflicts in his source-texts, sometimes he was supplying entirely new concepts, but he was also reaching back to an imaginative world which he believed had once really ____47____, at least in a collective imagination.”
The book is also deeply grounded in Tolkien’s linguistic expertise （语言专长） —he ____48____ whole languages for his characters. Sometimes he became so absorbed in the creation of languages, in fact, that he ____49____ the story itself for months or years at a time, believing he could not continue until some inconsistency（不一致）in his invented world had been resolved. But Tolkien’s great intellect and knowledge is not the source of his ______50______; without his storytelling gift, The Lord of the Rings would be little more than a curiosity. And this gift seems to originate straight from his ______51______ to break from classical and traditional forms.
Tolkien himself often spoke of his work as something ‘found’ or ‘discovered’, something whose existence was ______52______ of him. It’s wise to be careful with this sort of interpretation, but it seems ______53______ that he believed his work to be something given, something revealed, which contained a kind of truth beyond measure. ______54______, his details have the weight of reality, and because of this his great sweep of story feels real as well; you might say that his ______55______ castles are built with a certain amount of genuine stone.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
It was just the three of us-my parents and me. I always felt it a pity that I would never have a chance to know what grandparents’ “spoiling” love would be like.
My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. My mom is a devoted teacher, always busy switching between looking after her only child and her many students.
We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door.
Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection.
One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to fly a kite. It was his company that made father’s constant absence not so unbearable.
When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out, “what if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My parents said I could ask them tomorrow.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. The next day, heart pounding in my chest, I knocked on Bill and Arlene’s door, sat down in their living room and stammered out my question tentatively, “Will you guys care to be my grandparents?” At these words, they were petrified with surprise and the room fell into an awkward silence. “Maybe they are not so fond of me as I thought.” I murmured to myself, doubts crowding in on me. I was about to sneak out when my friends reached out their arms and embraced me tightly. “Of course!” they responded enthusiastically, tears of joy brimming in their eyes.
From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. They even went to great lengths to print out an adoption certificate, and it hung on their living room wall proudly. Over the years, my dear grandparents supported me in all my gloomy days, encouraged me to pursue dreams regardless of numerous obstacles, and imparted their invaluable wisdom to me selflessly. I could find no words to express how grateful and fortunate I felt for their presence in my life. However, it was when they told me in their last days that how much joy and comfort I had brought into their otherwise tedious life that I truly became the luckiest grandson in the world.
