25．（6分）Most kids are really busy.They rush around from one activity to the next with little time to clean the house.Sometimes parents want to know if they should give their kids housework.After all，isn't it the parents' responsibility（责任） to do the housework？And don't kids need a chance to "just be kids" for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about houses？

26．（6分）I was careful to behave as well as possible，to persuade the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the Man﹣Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand，and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.
One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments，which are greatly enjoyed by him，his family，and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope﹣dancing.A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground People who want to become the King's most important officers jump and dance on this rope，and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job.Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope，to show that they can still do it.This sport is，of course，rather dangerous，and there are occasional（偶尔的） deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
There was another interesting entertainment（娱乐）.The King holds a stick in front of him，and sometimes moves it up and down.One by one，people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time，and he receives a blue ribbon（缎带） to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon，and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.

27．（8分）In the United States，when one becomes rich，he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is.That is what 'keeping up with the Joneses' is about，It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself.He began earning ＄ 125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses，Momand went horseback riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants.Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.
It was like a race，but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to an apartment（公寓房间） in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life style of their neighbours.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series（系列）of short stories.He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with Jones" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you.Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.

（1）Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they 　 　.
A.want to be as rich as their neighbours
B.want others to know or to think that they are rich
C.don't want others to know they are rich
D.want to be happy
（2）What can we infer from the story？ 　 　
A.Rich people like to live outside New York City.
B.Rich people like to live in New York City.
C.Rich people like to live in apartments.
D.Rich people like to have many neighbours.
（3）Arthur Momand used the name "Jones" in his series of short stories because "Jones" is 　 　.
A.an important name
B.a popular name
C.his neighbour's name
D.not a good name
（4）According to the writer，it is 　 　to keep up with the Joneses.
A.correct
B.interesting
C.impossible
D.good
28．（6分）I have a question for all of us.Is all winning success？Winning is really，really fun.But I am here to share my views on what a real success is.
All around the world，we have created the win﹣at﹣all﹣cost cultures.As a society，we honor the champions.We cheer for those people who win championships，elections and awards.Winning at all costs has become acceptable.We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process，and particularly when the end result is a win，usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug.
We need to redefine （重新定义） success.Real success is developing champions in life for our world，win or lose.We may be able to plan our way to a win，but we can't plan our way to success.
Back to 1990，when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women's Gymnastics Team，the best I could do was what other "successful" coaches had done.So，I became tough﹣talking and mean.I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win.
After putting up with me for a few years，our team asked me for a team meeting.And for over two hours，they gave me examples of how my arrogance （ 傲 慢 ） was hurtful.That was my time﹣out，and I chose to change.I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings，not just athletes who won.
It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate （激励） someone to be better.And the motivation takes a really long time to take root.The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty.
Let's think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home.Are they focusing on the end result？Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner？All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning.
We are all coaches in some ways.We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world.
That is what real success looks like，and that is what we call a win﹣win.

（1）The underlined phrase "gets swept under the proverbial rug" probably means " 　 　".
A.catches little attention
B.does some harm
C.shows the result
D.decides the success
（2）The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show 　 　.
A.it's difficult to teach athletes how to win
B.how his team won those championships
C.why his team asked him for a meeting
D.motivating others matters more than giving orders
（3）Which of the following is a real success according to the writer？ 　 　
A.A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents.
B.A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health.
C.A coach who respects his members even though the team didn't win.
D.A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams.

A.It's important to let them know their work is seen by us

略
二、选择填空请认真阅读下列各题，从题中所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
14．（1分）AI will surely play an important role in our future lives.But it_____be used in a proper way.（　　）
A．can B．will C．need D．must
【解答】can能；will将会；need需要；must必须。根据in a proper way"以适当的方式"可知，人工智能"必须"被以适当的方式使用。
故选：D。
15．（1分）﹣﹣﹣The room is ______ to stay in，we have to move into another one．
﹣﹣﹣But I don't think the hotel has a bigger room for us．（　　）
A．clean enough B．too small
C．cheap enough D．too big
【解答】clean enough足够干净；too small太小；cheap enough足够便宜；too big太大．根据"但是我觉得旅馆没有更大的房间了"可知"这个房间太小了"．
故选：B．
16．（1分）—What a strong wind!But I still can't fly my kite high.
—Don't worry about the hardships（困难）.Kites rise high _______ the wind，not with it.（　　）
A． against B． across C． down D． between
【解答】against逆向；across穿过；down向下；between在......之间；根据"But I still can't fly my kite high."和"Kites rise high...the wind，not with it."可知，风筝逆风高飞，而不是顺风，因此选against。
故选：A。
17．（1分）﹣ I'm terribly sorry for being late.
﹣No worries.The film________for just a few minutes.（　　）
A．has begun B．has finished
C．has been on D．has been over
【解答】本题是考查现在完成时的用法。结合语境可知，电影开始几分钟，而不是结束几分钟。所以先排除选项BD；其次，句中的for just a few minutes是一段时间，不可以和短暂性动词连用，所以A不正确。C选项中的on是一个形容词，用于完成时态中表示存在的状态。
故选：C。
18．（1分）—Simon，we can save energy by riding shared bicycles.
—That's true.________，using air conditioners less is also a good way.（　　）
A．However B．Otherwise C．Anyway D．Moreover
【解答】结合句意，应该是"此外，少用空调也是个好办法。"A然而，表转折；B否则，表转折；C无论如何；D此外，表递进。
故选：D。
19．（1分）—Does she like singing English songs？
—Yes，she is often heard_______ English songs in her room.（　　）
A． sing B． to sing C． singing D． sung
【解答】sing唱歌，动词原形；to sing不定式；singing动名词/现在分词；sung过去分词。hear sb do sth"听见某人做某事"，表示习惯性动作或动作的整个过程，当用于被动语态时，后面的不定式不能省略，填to sing。
故选：B。
20．（1分）—Could you manage，if you don't mind，_______ the work on time？
—No worries，I'm working on it.（　　）
A． to finish B． finished C． finishing D． finish
【解答】finish完成。选项A是动词不定式；选项B是过去式；选项C是动名词；选项D是动词原形。根据观察可知题干使用了manage to do sth句型，意为"设法完成某事"，本题答案是A。
故选：A。
21．（1分）The foreign visitors find_______kind_______local people to answer the question.（　　）
A．it；for B．it；of C．that；for D．that；of
【解答】根据题干和语境，可知句子是"find+it+adj+for/of sb+to do..."结构，it在句子中做形式宾语，并且只能用it作形式主语或形式宾语，外国游客发现当地人回答问题很友善，kind是形容人的性格特点的形容词，因此介词用of，for是用于形容词是客观的形容词时。
故选：B。
22．（1分） The car needs checking.The accidents will _______ if it_______ as soon as possible.（　　）
A． be happened；isn't checked
B． happen；won't be checked
C． be happened；doesn't check
D． happen；isn't checked
【解答】根据题干可知，本句是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循"主将从现"的原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时；一般将来时的结构为will+动词原形，所以排除A、C选项；从句用一般现在时，排除B选项；从句的主语it和谓语动词check之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态，一般现在时的被动语态结构为am/is/are+动词的过去分词。
故选：D。
23．（1分）﹣Let's go to the zoo this weekend？
﹣Dad，you said so last week and the week before._____.（　　）
A．No pain，no gain
B．Practice makes perfect
C．It never rains but pours
D．Actions speak louder than words
【解答】A.一份耕耘，一份收获。B.熟能生巧。C.祸不单行。D.事实胜于雄辩。根据句意，这个周末我们去动物园吧？Dad，you said so last week and the week before.由此可知，横线处填"事实胜于雄辩"，符合语境。
故选：D。

26．（6分）I was careful to behave as well as possible，to persuade the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the Man﹣Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand，and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.
One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments，which are greatly enjoyed by him，his family，and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope﹣dancing.A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground People who want to become the King's most important officers jump and dance on this rope，and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job.Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope，to show that they can still do it.This sport is，of course，rather dangerous，and there are occasional（偶尔的） deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
There was another interesting entertainment（娱乐）.The King holds a stick in front of him，and sometimes moves it up and down.One by one，people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time，and he receives a blue ribbon（缎带） to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon，and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.

27．（8分）In the United States，when one becomes rich，he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is.That is what 'keeping up with the Joneses' is about，It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself.He began earning ＄ 125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses，Momand went horseback riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants.Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.
It was like a race，but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to an apartment（公寓房间） in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life style of their neighbours.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series（系列）of short stories.He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with Jones" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you.Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.

D.not a good name
（4）According to the writer，it is 　C　to keep up with the Joneses.

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段In the United States，when one becomes rich，he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is.（在美国，当一个人变得富有时，他希望人们知道。即使他不是很富有，他也希望人们认为他是。）可知，有些人想攀比，因为他们想让别人知道或认为他们很富有。故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City.（他结婚了，和妻子搬到了纽约城外一个非常富裕的街区。）和现实情况可知，美国的富人喜欢住在纽约城外。故选A。
（3）细节理解题，根据第四段He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. （他称之为"攀比"，因为"Jones"在美国是一个很流行的名字。）可知，Arthur Momand在他的短篇小说系列中使用了"Jones"这个名字，因为"Jones"是一个流行的名字。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.（人们似乎永远不会厌倦攀比。世界上每个城市都有"攀比"。但人们一定厌倦了攀比，因为无论做什么，Jones先生似乎总是领先的。）可知，根据作者的说法，攀比是不可能的。故选C。
28．（6分）I have a question for all of us.Is all winning success？Winning is really，really fun.But I am here to share my views on what a real success is.
All around the world，we have created the win﹣at﹣all﹣cost cultures.As a society，we honor the champions.We cheer for those people who win championships，elections and awards.Winning at all costs has become acceptable.We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process，and particularly when the end result is a win，usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug.
We need to redefine （重新定义） success.Real success is developing champions in life for our world，win or lose.We may be able to plan our way to a win，but we can't plan our way to success.
Back to 1990，when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women's Gymnastics Team，the best I could do was what other "successful" coaches had done.So，I became tough﹣talking and mean.I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win.
After putting up with me for a few years，our team asked me for a team meeting.And for over two hours，they gave me examples of how my arrogance （ 傲 慢 ） was hurtful.That was my time﹣out，and I chose to change.I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings，not just athletes who won.
It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate （激励） someone to be better.And the motivation takes a really long time to take root.The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty.
Let's think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home.Are they focusing on the end result？Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner？All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning.
We are all coaches in some ways.We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world.
That is what real success looks like，and that is what we call a win﹣win.

（1）The underlined phrase "gets swept under the proverbial rug" probably means " 　A　".
A.catches little attention
B.does some harm
C.shows the result
D.decides the success
（2）The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show 　D　.
A.it's difficult to teach athletes how to win
B.how his team won those championships
C.why his team asked him for a meeting
D.motivating others matters more than giving orders
（3）Which of the following is a real success according to the writer？ 　C　
A.A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents.
B.A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health.
C.A coach who respects his members even though the team didn't win.
D.A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams.
【解答】（1）词义猜测题。根据We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process，and particularly when the end result is a win，usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug（我们变得如此关注最终结果而不是过程，特别是当最终结果是一场胜利时，通常我们是如何实现的往往被掩盖了。）可知，下划线短语"gets swept under the proverbial rug"可能指的是很少引起注意，相当于"catches little attention"。故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据第五段"I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings，not just athletes who won"（我意识到我需要把学生运动员作为整个人类来支持，而不仅仅是获胜的运动员。）及第六段"It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate someone to be better"（下达命令比真正想出如何激励某人变得更好要容易得多。）可知，作者提到了他作为主教练的经历来说明激励他人比发号施令更重要。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第六段"It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate someone to be better.And the motivation takes a really long time to take root.The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty"（下达命令比真正想出如何激励某人变得更好要容易得多。这种动力需要很长时间才能扎根。关键是通过耐心和诚实来建立信任。）可知，根据作者所说，一个即使球队没有获胜也尊重其成员的教练是真正的成功。故选C。
