In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.‎ ‎ Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.‎ ‎ He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.‎ ‎ The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. ‎ ‎ Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild.That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.‎ ‎21. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?‎ A. He hurt his eyes. B. He broke his skis.‎ C. He got lost. D. He caught a cold.‎ ‎22. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?‎ A. He found a shelter. B. He built a snow cave.‎ C. He kept on skiing. D. He lighted some branches.‎ ‎23. On Tuesday,Nicholas .‎ A. was saved by a searcher.‎ B. returned to his shelter safely.‎ C. got stuck in the snow D. stayed where he was ‎24. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he .‎ A. did the right things in the dangerous situation.‎ B. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly C. created some tips for survival D. was very hard-working B The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up. ‎ The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.‎ On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw ‎ the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror. ‎ Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.‎ ‎25. How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?‎ ‎ A. Embarrassed. B. Wise. C. Relieved. D. Regretful.‎ ‎26. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to .‎ ‎ A. the author’s friend B. the author ‎ ‎ C. the author’s roommate D. a stranger ‎27. Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?‎ ‎ A. She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.‎ ‎ B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.‎ ‎ C. She came to realize what she really possessed. ‎ ‎ D. She never thought over the other side of a person.‎ ‎28. We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as .‎ ‎ A. natural B. funny C. silly D. simple ‎ C Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16. ‎ The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people. ‎ Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing ‎ her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer. ‎ However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for national standards to be introduced. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services. ‎ ‎29. We can learn from the text that owning guide dogs .‎ ‎ A. is beneficial to blind children’s development ‎ ‎ B. may meet with difficulties sometimes ‎ ‎ C. became possible in the UK recently ‎ ‎ D. is quite universal in the UK ‎30. According to the text, Charlotte’s example proves that . ‎ ‎ A. the association’s opinion is not quite right ‎ B. guide dogs can get along well with disabled people ‎ ‎ C. it is necessary to carry out the experimental project ‎ ‎ D. youngsters need companions and friends ‎31. What does the underlined word “patchy” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Endless. B. Perfect. C. Diverse. D. Inadequate.‎ ‎32. What is the main idea of the text?‎ ‎ A. Blind people need guide dogs’ assistance in their daily life.‎ ‎ B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.‎ ‎ C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.‎ ‎ D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.‎ ‎ D There is no doubt that teens today are extremely busy. Homework piles up and extra-curricular (课外的) activities are time-consuming. Often, teens have to take part in a sport or activity after school, and they are up until 10:00 or later doing homework. Getting teenagers involved in volunteer opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school.‎ Teenagers are often in their own little world. Helping them get involved in volunteering opportunities is the perfect way for them to open up that world and give their time to a good cause.‎ The key to getting teens involved in volunteer work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and find something that interests them. Also, keep it close to home. If they have to travel a long distance to volunteer, it’s less likely to be accomplished. ‎ My son has helped with the local library’s reading program for two summers. It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic. We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2 hours at a time. He is responsible for helping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read. It is only a one-week time commitment, but it is very rewarding.‎ When teens volunteer they often see that there are others more needy than themselves. They also learn time management. Your teen will become a more rounded, less self-centred individual.‎ Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year. If your teen has shown the devotion to volunteer in the community, it can give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities. So, volunteering is good for their present and their future!‎ ‎33. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The heavy loads faced by teens toady. ‎ ‎ B. The author’s son’s volunteering experience.‎ ‎ C. The benefits of volunteering for teens.‎ ‎ D. The requirements of volunteering. ‎ ‎ 34. We can infer from the last paragraph that .‎ ‎ A. scholarship opportunities are only offered to excellent students ‎ ‎ B. volunteering can help a teen stand out as an excellent student ‎ ‎ C. colleges show more preference for students with volunteering experiences ‎ D. one can’t become an excellent student without volunteering experience ‎ ‎35. The underlined word “elastic” in the fourth paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”.‎ ‎ A. independent B. tight C. precious D. flexible 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（选E涂AB,F涂AC,G涂AD）‎ This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they ‎ should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._36_They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.‎ But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. _37__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?‎ So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?‎ First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams._38_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.‎ It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__39__‎ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 40‎ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.‎ A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.‎ B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.‎ C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.‎ D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.‎ E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.‎ F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.‎ G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.‎ 第三部分 英语识应用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Daily Star, sir” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his arm.
