First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That can be even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you,” Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes,“Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。Gavin从小患有一种罕见的疾病,经常遭受他人的嘲笑,但他依然乐观面对生活并与母亲和姐姐制作了一个视频来向他人解释这种病症。
25.What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?

D.look down upon Gavin
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class.可知,因为这个病,Gavin经常被别人瞧不起。
27.In the video, Gavin’s sister ________.
A.explains her brother’s disease

D.encourages others to donate money

28.What can be used to best describe Gavin?

My son has always had a terrible fear of fast roller coasters(过山车). Those rides are so fast that the people riding them scream the whole way. But recently, my son decided he was going to ride one no matter how afraid he was. He forced himself to sit next to me on the roller coaster, and I could almost hear his heart beating. To tell you the truth, that roller coaster was almost too fast for me! When the ride was finally over and we were leaving, my son was so happy and proud of himself. He kept saying again and again,“Dad, I conquered(征服) my fear!”
One of the important secrets to success and happiness, which many people don’t know, is that on the other side of our fear is a much better life for us. It’s only when we face the fear and conquer it that we are free to reach our full potential(潜力). The great army general George Patton said,“Fear kills more people than death.”You see, death kills us only once, but fear kills us over and over again. It’s better to face danger one time than to live in fear for your whole life.
Fear__is__a__warning__signal(信号),not__for__us__to__close__our__eyes,__but__for
__us__to__open__them__wider. If we keep closing our eyes to our fear so we can just stay in our comfort zone, then we’ll end up “buried alive in our comfort zone” and never really live life to the fullest.
Remember, there’s a first time for everything—whether it’s riding a bike, starting your own business, or public speaking. There’s no greater feeling of success than running right at your fear and coming out on the other side of it, knowing you conquer it.
【解题导语】 作者通过事例说明:我们要勇敢面对生活中的恐惧,只有这样我们才能去战胜它,才能拥有完整的人生。
29.Why did the author’s son decide to ride the roller coaster?
A.To help the author conquer his fear.
B.To face his fear and conquer it.
C.To show that he was brave.
D.To enjoy himself.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容可知,作者的儿子乘坐过山车是为了战胜自己心中的恐惧。
30.What does the author want to tell us by saying the underlined sentence?
A.Only those who face fear bravely can conquer it.
B.It is better to face our fear bravely than to avoid it.
C.If we close our eyes, we will suffer more from fear.
D.By knowing what our fear is, we can face it and conquer it.
D 解析:句意理解题。画线句子的意思是:恐惧是一种警告信号,它不是要让我们无视它,而是要让我们面对它,从而克服它。由此可知D项表述正确。
31.According to the author, if we can’t conquer our fear, ________.
A.we will live in danger for the whole life
B.we will not really live life to the fullest
C.we will be looked down upon by others
D.we will live a comfortable but not successful life
B 解析:细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句“...then we’ll end up ‘buried alive in our comfort zone’ and never really live life to the fullest.”可知,在作者看来,如果我们不能战胜自己的恐惧,我们就不能拥有完整的人生,就不能活得充实。
32.Which can be used as the best title for the passage?
A.Run to Your Fear
B.No Pains, No Gains
C.How to Conquer Your Fear
D.Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way
A 解析:标题归纳题。作者通过讲述自己的儿子勇敢战胜内心对过山车的恐惧的故事告诉我们一个道理:只有勇敢去面对恐惧并战胜它,我们才能活得充实。由此可知A项作为本文的标题最贴切,即鼓励人们勇敢地面对恐惧并努力战胜它。

Scientists have made great discoveries.But how have they influenced our personal lives?Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived?You may be wondering:but why is it important to teach kids about modernday scientists?
First,stories of scientists can encourage kids.Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space,and he’s a real guitarplaying person.He makes singing videos on YouTube! His story can make kids think scientists are also common people.Hearing scientists’ stories makes kids think “I can do that too!”
But not only that,the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to never give up.Bill Nye
was always refused when trying to be an astronaut.But today,he’s made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer.Besides,it’s no secret that scientific discoveries require trying,and trying again.
Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity(多样性).Neil deGrasse Tyson,for example,is an AfricanAmerican,which is not common in his field.Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist.
It’s important to know that scientists don’t need to be “gifted” or “good” at school.Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school.That doesn’t have to be true.They just need to have a great interest in science.Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science.As long as they’re interested,they are likely to become a scientist in the future.
Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation(基础) others have laid.This is important—no one can do it alone.Scientists’ stories can encourage today’s young scientists to keep trying.They’ll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of making discoveries.Even if they haven’t made important discoveries,their research may help the following scientists.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为,老师应该给学生讲科学家的故事来激励他们。
33.What can Chris Hadfield’s story tell students?
A.Scientists are interested in different things.
B.Students should have a hobby of their own.
C.Scientists can be ordinary like people around us.
D.Students should consider scientists as their models.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的His story can make kids think scientists are also common people.可知,科学家也可能和我们身边的人一样。
34.Which of the following would the author agree with?
A.AfricanAmericans are more likely to become scientists.
B.Scientists are not necessarily very smart at school.
C.Not all scientists really show interest in science.
D.Scientists are usually good at their schooling.
B 解析:观点态度题。根据第五段的It’s important to know that scientists don’t need to be “gifted” or “good” at school.Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school.That doesn’t have to be true.可知,作者认为成为科学家未必需要在学业上极其聪明。
35.The last paragraph shows us that ________.
A.scientists should help each other
B.a scientist should never give up trying
C.making discoveries is necessary for scientists
D.new scientific discoveries may be based on others’ findings
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第六段的Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation(基础) others have laid.及Even if they haven’t made important discoveries,their research may help the following scientists.可知,新的科学发现可能建立在已有的科学发现上。
36.What is the text mainly about?
A.Why scientists are important to us.
B.Why scientists can encourage students.
C.Why students love stories of scientists.
D.Why students should be taught about scientists.
D 解析:主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了为什么要给学生讲科学家的故事。

When you are in a very dangerous __52__ and feel afraid,the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood.This chemical is called adrenalin(肾上激素).With adrenalin in the blood system,you actually feel stronger and stronger and are __53__ to fight or run away.However,when you are __54__ frightened,the body can produce too much adrenalin.When this __55__,the muscles become very hard and you find you can’t __56__ at all.You are paralyzed(使无能为力) with fear.That is why when we are very frightened,we sometimes say we are “petrified”;this word comes from a Greek word “petros”,which means “stone”.We are so frightened that we become stonelike.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了Lenny一直认为自己是个胆小怕事的人,但当真正面临危险时,他却表现得像个英雄。本文论述了这一现象,并分析了这一现象产生的原因。

Dear__Henry,__
I__am__glad__to__hear__that__you__get__on__very__well__with__your__maths__teacher,
__Mr.__Green.__Now__I’d__like__to__tell__you__something__about__my__favourite__teacher. Mr. Gao is my physics teacher. He is the best teacher I have ever had. He is patient and friendly but sometimes strict, too. He can make his lessons lively and interesting. Going to his lessons is something we look forward to.
Physics is not my favourite subject and I find physics is much harder in Senior High School than in Junior High School. I almost wanted to give up. Mr. Gao gave me some advice on how to improve my physics. He even often helps me in his spare time. Now my physics is improving and I have become more confident! I think I am really lucky to have him as my physics teacher.
Best__wishes!
Yours,
Li__Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was 8 a.m. Kathy, a 25yearold nurse, had just finished a 12hour night shifts at a hospital. She was tired, but glad to be sailing along highway to where she lived. Although the local government had posted a snow alert(预警), the calm grey sky convinced__Kathy the drive would be safe. “I figured I’d be in bed in an hour,” she says.
Snow began when she was halfway home. Listening to the radio, Kathy learned the highway was closed because a tractor had slid off the road. She texted some friends and her mom, and tried not to sleep as she waited.
After a couple of hours, however, conditions worsened. Strong winds began rocking Kathy’s car. She couldn’t see anything outside, and snow was drifting up her doors. It was, she says, “a total whiteout and rows of cars and trucks.”
Late in the afternoon a police officer came and asked if she was in any difficulty. She said she was fine. She asked the police officer if there was any way to get past the trucks. “No, ma’am,” he answered. “You’re not going anywhere.”
Once as it got dark, Kathy__began__to__worry. She texted his brother Cris, telling him to drive snowmobiling__buddy(雪地汽车) to get to the highway and find her.
As Cris rode slowly alongside the rows of cars and trucks, people would roll down their windows and ask for help. “I was the first person they’d seen in six hours.”He explained he was picking up his sister. He told them, “Nobody’s coming and I can’t take you.”
Near 10 p.m. Cris reached Kathy. He directed Kathy to pull__her__car onto the shoulder and asked her to get into his snowmobiling buddy.
As they headed for home, the fun started. About five kilometres into the journey, Cris made a mistake. What he thought was a shallow ditch(浅沟) turned__out to be a deep trough(水槽). Instead of coming out the other side, they just kept going down. They were trapped. And feathery snow was
over their heads.
