A
There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds. She took them home and put them in a small cage, caring them with love. Luckily, the birds grew strong little by little. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.
One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. So as he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go weak, so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. It was her desperate love that had killed him.
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his strong desire—needing to fly into the clear, blue sky. Unwillingly, she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times.
The girl watched delightedly at the bird. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.
Remember, the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight; the best way to keep love is to give it wings!
21. After the girl found the two birds, she ________.
A. became frightened at once
B. began to treat them badly
C. greeted them happily

22. Why did the girl grasp the stronger bird wildly?
A. Because the girl disliked the bird any longer
B. Because the bird wanted to fly alone.
C. Because the girl loved the bird deeply.
D. Because the bird intended to find some food.
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Catch what you can catch on your way to success.
B. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D. East or west, home is best.
B
Considering Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.
However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modem, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back” , a reference to wool being the country’ s main money earner. However, it is no longer dominant (主宰的). Much of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a modest sense of humor.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation
of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a “mixture of nations” and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
24. What does the writer mean by saying “has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert” in the second paragraph?
A. The major population has a close relationship with the desert.
B. The fast-paced cities are just located by the desert.
C. The major population knows little about the desert.
D. The major population is familiar with the people living in the desert.
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country.
B. One third of people living in Australia come from Europe.
C. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
D. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
26. What used to be Australia’ s main money earner?
A. Wheat.
B. Wool.
C. Tourism.
D. Diamond.
27. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A . immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
B . nothing about Australia’s colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitors
C . tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
D. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigr ants from Southeast Asia
C
British singer Sarah Brightman began training for a 2015 flight to the International Space Station where she hopes to become the first professional musician to sing from space, the company arranging the trip said on Tuesday.
Brightman, a famed soprano (女高音) who starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” , will pay about $ 52 million for a 10-day stay aboard the orbital outpost, Tom Shelley, president of privately owned Space Adventures, said.
Brightman, who will become the eighth privately funded space tourist, is scheduled to fly in September 2015. Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule began last fall.
Brightman has planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space. But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who, according to media reports late last year, intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branso’s Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital (亚轨道的) space flights.
Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans haven’t been confirmed until now. So far. Space Adventures has arranged for nine private missions to the space station, a $ 100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above the earth. Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi made two trips.
Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $ 35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an option to fly on the next available Soyuz seat after Brightman, which most likely will be in 2017, Shelley told Reuters.
28. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To praise Brightman.
B. To persuade the readers that Brightman is more famous than Lady Gaga.
C. To instruct the readers how to begin a space flight.
D. To give some information about Brightman.
29. When did Brightman start training for her space travel?
A. Last winter.
B. Last autumn.
C. Next spring.
D. Next summer.
30. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. Brightman
B. Lady Gaga
C. Andrew Lloyd Webber
D. Tom Shelley
31. The fifth paragraph is mainly carried out ________.
A. in time order
B. in space order
C. by giving examples
D. by comparison
D
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to attest that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who were trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE—short for Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most were studied when they were more than 70 years old.
The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing—speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group—the control group did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, leading study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.
Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of- processing did better on tests than the control group.
“We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that’s exactly what we found.”
The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.
32. Which statement is false according to the text?
A. This kind of training can only have effects on people for a few years.
B. The people were trained during a period of ten years.
C. Most of the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.
D. The first group were trained how to remember word lists.
33. How would the old in the second group perform after receiving the training?
A. Remember more words.
B. Understand information more quickly.
C. Act as poorly as before.
D. Perform daily activities better.
34. What does the underlined word “attest” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Affect.
B. Deny.
C. Prove.
D. Improve.
35. Which of the following can be the best tide for the passage?
A. Some Kinds of Mental Skills Naturally Decrease.
B. Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years.
C. Four Groups of Old People Were Trained Mentally.
D. A Ten-year Research Affects Elderly.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my fate. I cannot change it.”
36 You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your fate depends on you, not on any other outside factors.
We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
37 You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work.
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don’t just say: “Our time will come.or 38 Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.” If som ething goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someo ne’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! 39
So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) the re. 40
A. I think so.
B. Of course not.
C. You’d better let it be.
D. Things will get better some day.
E. Do something to improve your life.
F. Remember that you harvest what you sow.
G. You’ve got to do anything you can to save the person.

6. 6. what → that/which 因what不引导定语从句，定语从句中缺少主语，先行词为factories，故what改为that/which。
7.7. by→of 固定短语form a habit of 养成一种……的习惯。
8.8. or→and 因or前后是并列关系，不是选择关系。
9.9. their → our 根据从句的主语是we，应用our作environment的限定词，故their 改为our。
10.10. 去掉more或more→much 根据more本身是比较级，可与多音节词一起构成比较级，但不可修饰比较级，故去掉more或more→much。
11.助读强化
recently adv.近来force sb. to do sth. 勉强某人做某事
a series of一系列strict adj.严格的，严厉的
industrial adj.工业的build up 增强
save energy 储能

高考英语复习策略
高考英语复习策略 我校属于三星级普通高中，学生的英语基础普遍较差。在省教育部门“五严”规定的大背景下，思考如何在有限的时间内提升英语复习的效能，在查漏补缺的同时全面提高学生的综合素养就显得特别重要。因此，我们必须要在思想上做好充分准备，扎扎实实抓好高考英语复习工作，打一场有备之战。 一．指导思想 我们认为，不管课程怎么改革，不管江苏高考英语的题型怎样变化，总原则是“得益课内，迁移课外，能力立意，综合运用”。在高三英语复习中我们努力贯彻落实教研室冯毓旗主任提出的“用问题引领课堂”的指导思想，即高三的英语复习不能只着眼于所谓的高考重难点，更应该把目光聚焦在学生存在的问题上，用学生的问题来引领我们的教学行为。当然要解决学生的问题首先要解决好高三教师自己的问题，教师自己的问题解决好了，学生的问题自然会迎刃而解。 二．复习中存在的问题 1.理念上的问题 我们有部分教师纠结于高三英语复习要不要拿课本，这里存在着两种极端的现象。有的教师在复习教学中片面地认为复习便是把近似于新授课的教学内容按教材编排的顺序重新给学生快速过一遍，再做一些配套的练习即可，根本不重视知识的归类梳理。还有的教师为了节约教学时间，赶进度，提前进入复习总攻，再加上高三教材生词多内容深，就把高三教材内容进行大幅度的删减。在后期的复习中，他们又完全抛开教材进行以资料为主要载体的复习教学。这种在教材上耗时太长或者完全脱离教材进行复习教学的做法都是不可取的，很难达到高三复习和高中英语教学的要求。 其次，在高考目标的压力下，有些教师急功近利，片面地追求高考的结果，高考考什么，怎么考，平时就怎么教，让学生也怎么练。部分教师让学生在高三复习中只练这几种高考题型，其余的都省去。实际上，这种完全高考模式化的单调训练既违背了语言学习规律，也不符合《英语课程标准》 中规定的英语学习目

年高考英语备考策略.doc
2015年高考英语备考策略 今年英语变化虽大，但万变不离其宗。不变的是词、句、文，词就是词的活用，句就是句子的结构，文就是文章的逻辑。两个变化是：第一，词汇量有所减少，由3500变成了3050。第二，文体由开放变成了应用。首先，词汇变化直接的效用是高考的时候降低了阅读和理解的能力，一般阅读可以在文本中直接找到依据，降低了隐含题、概括题的比例。而且完形会更便于理解。但是在词汇学习方面，如果学生基础比较好，建议大家不光要知道拼写和意思，还要多理解一些词的词性、活用。 作文变化方面，现在改成应用文以后加了一个文体，例如常见的三大文体：第一是信函，应聘信、求职信，还有日常交流信;第二是演讲稿，举办一个活动;第三是通知、电条。这些文体孩子们日常生活中都会经常接触，因此也比较容易把握。但是要切记，这种文体不要用特别大的词和特别复杂的结构。 ●英语答卷如何分配时间? 120分钟，听力时间是20分钟，然后单选应该是8分钟左右，完形应该在12分钟左右，这就去掉40分钟。五篇阅读应该在30到35分钟，也就意味着写作在45到50分钟，大概这个分配比较合理，建议按照顺序做。 ●词汇篇 1.在3千多个词汇当中，核心词汇究竟有多少?这些核心词汇究竟应该怎样来掌握，有什么方式和方法? 近五年东城、西城、海淀的模拟题，还有通过研究北京高考，发现其中有800多个比较关键的词汇。其中最重要的词汇，是以英语字母C、A、T、S开头。P、C、A、T、S，这五个字母开头的单词是阅读的CD篇，包括完全涵盖比较高频出现的词汇，简单称其为怕猫因为cat是猫。 2.对于这些核心词汇，如何在记忆的过程当中更好地理解，从而达到非常熟练的应用?
