My mom called my doctor．I then had a few blood tests，and the results were certain﹣I had diabetes (糖尿病)，which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high．That can be dangerous，so I had to learn how to control my blood﹣sugar level．‎ My eating habits had to change in a big way．With diabetes，I can't eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates(碳水化合物)．I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat，and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food．Also，I test my blood﹣sugar level often．I'm always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level．The level can drop when I exercise，but that doesn't keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court﹣I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to．‎ It's a lot of work﹣and not a lot of fun﹣to keep track of everything，but I've gotten used to my new habits．I was a little scared at first because I wasn't sure how my life would change．Once I knew what I needed to do，though，it wasn't a big deal．My life is different now from what it was before，but it has become completely regular to me．‎ ‎24.What is the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A．how the author was found to have diabetes B．the author's life before having diabetes C．who found the author had diabetes D．the author's eating habits before having diabetes ‎25.What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes？‎ A．She stopped playing basketball in the gym．‎ B．She controlled her blood﹣sugar level strictly．‎ C．She stopped eating food with natural sugar．‎ D．She tested her blood﹣sugar level before every meal．‎ ‎26.What does the underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 2 mean？‎ A．absorb． B．control． C．increase． D．test．‎ ‎27.What's the author's attitude toward her having diabetes now？‎ A．worried． B．frightened． C．pessimistic． D．positive．‎ C I grew up in a middleclass household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living, a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew, and as a result, I was not aware just how lucky I was.‎ It was a Monday, and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before, and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia, but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.‎ I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain, saving every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart, I managed to hit my target.‎ I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the sight of malnourished (营养不良) children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city, home to thousands of families, many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.‎ On the following days, I played with children who, despite living in hard conditions, were overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who, despite having nothing, were some of the kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time, my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community, and shared with each other the little that they had.‎ Through the trip, I began to see the value of learning from people of other races, cultures and religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one, and experienced firsthand the beauty of human diversity.‎ ‎28．How did the author react when hearing about the overseas mission trip?‎ A．she considered it a little bit risky.

There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years．"‎ However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death．‎ Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live." It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？" said Leonard Poon，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre."

The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 36 .‎ Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.‎ Follow your dreams.‎ The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die without actions supporting them. 37 . Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.‎ Make lots of mistakes.‎ ‎38 . Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed, and those lessons have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.‎ ‎39 .‎ Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy ‎ emotional state. If you’re under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. 40 .‎ For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve success. Maybe we’ll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.‎ A. Take care of yourself.‎ B. It’s best to rest, recover, and slowly build back up your strength.‎ C. Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.‎ D. Improve your personality.‎ E. Though we can’t choose the outcome of our actions, we can choose to keep pursuing (追求).‎ F. Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes, it is impossible to avoid them.‎ G. Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ For many people, barbecues are a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends.For Stan Hays, barbecuing is a passion that he puts to the __41__ at weekend competitions.‎ ‎__42__， when disaster strikes, Hays uses his skills to __43__ people in need.Since 2011, his nonprofit, Operation BBQ Relief, has prepared more than 1.75 million meals for __44__.The __45__ effort began in May 2011，when a terrible tornado hit Joplin, Missouri, about twoandahalf hour's drive from Hays' home.His wife urged him to __46__.So, he put out the __47__ to his barbecue buddies (伙计) and headed down with his portable smoker.“We __48__ we'd be there three to four days, serving maybe 5,000 meals，”Hays said.“But the need was there, and the __49__ kept coming in.”‎ Hays believes that the food they prepare keeps disaster survivors __50__ both physically and mentally.We not only are giving them something nutritious, but we are giving them a state of being __51__.”‎ ‎“For me, the __52__ thing is people coming together.Seeing the people working and __53__ the effect the meals are producing — it can't help but bring a smile to your face, maybe a __54__ to your eye.At the end of the day, you've done something that's made a __55__，” said Hays.‎ ‎41．A. test B. action C．end D．work ‎42．A.Therefore B.However C．Otherwise D．Usually ‎43．A.save B．persuade C．feed D．teach ‎44．A.volunteers B．friends C．survivors D．neighbors ‎45．A. brave B．extra C．confident D．unique ‎46．A.change B．improve C．imagine D．help ‎47．A.goal B．word C．comment D．advertisement ‎48．A.suggested B．realized C．expected D．thought ‎49．A. supplies B．questions C．demands D．orders ‎50．A.patient B．quiet C．well D．proud ‎51．A.normal B．silent C．humorous D．pitiful ‎52．A.difficult B．greatest C．strangest D．lucky ‎53．A.ignoring B．measuring C．knowing D．predicting ‎54．A. tear B．burn C．pain D．curiosity ‎55．A.promise B．rule C．decision D．difference 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分,满分15分）‎ Eating a diet rich in high-quality protein (蛋白质)may help you maintain a healthy weight by _56__ (make) you feel full longer, and fueling you with extra energy for exercising.‎ High-protein 57 (diet) aren’t balanced in terms of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and fiber your body needs.

He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.‎ Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.‎ The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.‎ Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.‎ Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?‎ Doubts like this came crowding in.‎ The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.‎ Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.‎ When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise …‎ Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.‎ What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.‎ Paragraph 1:He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. ______________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2: So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. _____________________ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分听力(每题1.5分；20小题，共计30分)‎ ‎1-5 ABCCB 6-10 ACABB 11-15 CBAAB 16-20 CABCA 第二部分阅读理解+七选五(每题2.5分；20小题，共计50分)‎ ‎21-25 BCDAB 26-30 CDCAB 31-35 DCDCA 36-40 GECAB 第三部分 完形填空(每题1分；15小题，共计15分)‎ ‎41-45 ABCCD 46-50 DBDAC 51-55 ABCAD 语法填空(每题1.5分；10小题，共计15分)‎ ‎56. making 57. diets 58. actually 59, more 60. gained ‎61. but 62. to lose 63. that/which 64. with 65. performance 第四部分写作 应用文参考范文：(15分)‎ Dear David，‎ How time flies！It's a pity that you're leaving our middle school soon.I'm writing this letter to express our sincere thanks on behalf of the students of Class 4.‎ We all remember the first class from you, which helped us get rid of our fear in English studies.At first you introduced yourself by listing some key words on the blackboard such as “I come from ...” and “I hope ...” Then you asked us to make a selfintroduction in English.To everyone's surprise, we found it could be easy and enjoyable to use English.‎ Though you're leaving soon, we do hope to keep in touch with you.Have a nice trip.‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua 续写参考范文 (25分)‎ He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, abandoning herself to great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up. But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up. Sensing her ‎ loneliness in a colorless-world, I was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this class, I determined to learn make-up without hesitation, hoping to make a difference.‎ So he decided to take the course to surprise her wife. Without a pause, he shared his story. He mastered a wide range of practical skills, allowing him to help her take on a new look. Surely, being enveloped by an atmosphere of love, his beloved wife at present was deeply affected. “I not only want to learn how to apply her make-up, I want her to wear the most beautiful make-up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced, “It is her smile that touches most my heart, not the make-up.”‎
