Where There’s a Will，There’s a Way
My favorite proverb is “Where there’s a will，there’s a way.” It means if you are really determined to do something，however difficult it might be，you will find a way of doing it at last and you’ll achieve success.①
Once，I was faced with great difficulty in learning English，especially in vocabulary and grammar，which，from my point of view，is unlikely to overcome.②But with my English teacher’s patient instructions and help，I kept on learning，memorizing，reciting，practising，correcting，and repeating all the things again and again.③In the end，my determination and perseverance contributed to my great progress.④
From what I say above，we can see weakwilled people never make it to the top while a strongwilled person，on the other hand，will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.Therefore，always remember where there’s a will，there’s a way.

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．I wish to thank Professor Smith，without
help I would never have got this far.
A．who
B．whose
C．whom
D．which
答案 B
解析 句意为：我想要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助我就不会走得这么远。whose是关系代词，引导定语从句，表示“……的”。容易误选C项，因为只看到了without whom语意上相当于without Professor Smith，而忽略了题干中的help。若选C项的话，可去掉题干中的help。
2．She got off the bus，
with two heavy suitcases.
A．burdening
B．burdened
C．burden
D．to burden
答案 B
解析 句意为：她提着两只沉重的手提箱下了公共汽车。be burdened with背负着……，用过去分词短语作伴随状语。
3．Being sick last week，I missed some lessons，but I’ll try to
the others.
A．catch on to
B．catch up with
C．catch on
D．catch up
答案 B

4．The people，
had been damaged by the flood，were given help by the Red Cross.
A．all whose homes
B．all their homes
C．all of their homes
D．all of whose homes
答案 D
解析 分析该句空格后的从句应是定语从句，whose在从句中作定语修饰名词，注意all不可直接用在whose前。
5．I made up my mind that under no circumstances
agree to such a principle.
A．would I
B．I would
C．I will
D．will I
答案 A
解析 under no circumstances位于句首，句子要用部分倒装，再根据句子的时态可知用would。故A项正确。
6．As
，a couple of pandas reached Taiwan Island smoothly.
A．expected
B．expects
C．to expect
D．expecting
答案 A
解析 考查状语从句的省略。补全为“As it was expected，a couple of pandas reached Taiwan Island smoothly.”。
7．Tomorrow is Tom’s birthday.Have you got any idea
the party is to be held?
A．what
B．which
C．that
D．where
答案 D
解析 句意为：明天是汤姆的生日。你认为晚会应该在哪里举行？where引导一个同位语从句，并在同位语从句里作地点状语。
8．In the dark forests
，some large enough to hold several English towns.
A．stand many lakes
B．lie many lakes
C．many lakes lie
D．many lakes stand
答案 B
解析 lakes不可能stand，排除A、D两项；再由表地点的介词短语位于句首引起句子倒装，排除C项。
9．It was not until she got home
Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.
A．when
B．that
C．where
D．before
答案 B
解析 句意为：直到到了家， Jennifer才发现钥匙丢了。not...until...句型的强调结构为：It is/was not until...that...。
10．Life is like a long race
we compete with others to go beyond ourselves.
A．why
B．what
C．that
D．where
答案 D
解析 句意为：生活就像一次长跑，我们不断和别人竞争以超越自己。本句中，where引导的从句作race的定语。在定语从句中，不缺任何成分，故排除C；what不能引导定语从句；why可以引导定语从句，但表示原因，不合题意。
11．A good judge should try to be fair and not to make
decisions.
A．abrupt
B．arbitrary
C．alternative
D．artificial
答案 B
解析 句意为：优秀的法官应该力争公平，而不要做出武断的决定。arbitrary表示“任意的，武断的”，符合语境。abrupt意为“突然的，意外的”；alternative意为“可供替代的，可供选择的”；artificial意为“人造的，人工的，非真实的”。
12．You have made outstanding contributions to the company.I’m sure that you are
to get promoted soon.
A．possible
B．bound

14．Professor James will give us a lecture on the western culture，and he as well as his assistants
to arrive by air.
A．are
B．was
C．were
D．is
答案 D
解析 考查主谓一致及动词时态。as well as连接两个名词作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式要与第一个名词保持一致；再根据前半句中的will，可知此处选D。
15．Vietnamese state media，quoting a senior naval official，reported that the plane MH370 had crashed off south Vietnam.Malaysia’s transport minister later denied any crash scene had been
.
A．purified
B．identified
C．demonstrated
D．undertaken
答案 B
解析 purify使纯净，使清洁；identify认出，确定；demonstrate证明，证实；undertake承担，从事。句意为：越南官方媒体援引一名海军高级官员的话报道说，MH370已在越南南部坠毁。马来西亚的交通部长后来否认事故现场已经确认。由句意可知选B。

Come Back to Reality
As is shown in the picture，
参考范文
Come Back to Reality
As is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of the computer and trying to add more friends to her facebook.Just outside the door，some people are eagerly watching her，hoping to make friends with her.
This picture reminds me of many young people who are computer addicts.They lost themselves in the virtual world and if it continues，they will eventually be cut off from reality.There is no doubt that the virtual world can be exciting，but that’s not the reason for us to go too far.Too much time and energy devoted to the Internet can lead to a disaster，mentally and physically.The real world that we live in is what counts.
As for myself，I’ll devote myself to worthwhile things in real life，from making friends to my studies.If necessary，I will seek information on the Internet，but I won’t be addicted to it.Only in this way can I make my life full and valuable.
