　　Many years ago，my dad was facing a serious heart condition.He was unable to do a steady job.He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.

　　He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital.My dad loved kids.It was the perfect job for him.He ended up working with the seriously ill children.He would talk，play, and do arts with them.

　　One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down.She couldn't do anything，and she was very depressed.My dad decided to try to help her.He started visiting her in her room，bringing paints，brushes and paper.He stood the paper up，put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint.He didn't use his hands at all.All the while he would tell her, “See，you can do anything you set your mind to.''

　　At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth，and she and my dad became friends.Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her.My dad also left the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill.Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work，in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking.She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight.She gave him a picture she had done using her hands.At the bottom it read：”Thank you for helping me walk.''

　　My dad would cry every time he told US this story and so would we.He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

　　(2015·河北衡水中学高三三调)

　　Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half－dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

　　What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “ In_the_sweat_of_the_face_shall_you_eat_the_bread._”

　　To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections memories. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

　　语篇解读：本文提到世上最难完成的两件事是用诚实努力获得财富，以及如何正确运用，才能不枉此生。

　　5．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

　　A．Wealth results from honest effort.

　　B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

　　C．For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.

　　D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

　　答案：C　判断推理题。根据第一段提到“Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止)．”但是，我想，对他们来说，某种非常重要的东西已经失去了，不然他们又怎会逃避现实，每天用苏打水和苏格兰威士忌将自己灌得烂醉如泥？他们明白，自己已经无法突破现有的成就。故选C项。

　　6．The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.

　　A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face

　　B．No pains, no gains

　　C．Failure is the mother of success

　　D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face

　　答案：B　词意猜测题。根据第二段提到“What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind.” “ In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread. ”如何才能幸福长寿地生活在世上呢？我想，很早之前在翻阅《圣经》时，我就找到了答案。《创世纪》中有一段话引起了我的注意，它虽然简短，却在我脑海中留下了深刻的印象：要想糊口，必要汗流满面，故选B项。

　　7.We learn from the passage that the author ________.

　　A．was a wealthy person in the community

　　B．held a positive attitude towards an active life

　　C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)

　　D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

　　答案：B　判断推理题。根据最后一段提到“To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections ( memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.”对我而言，它是最初的记忆，也是始终的挑战。实际上，对每个人来说，人生之役，生存之役，都是一种挑战。圣．保罗不朽的教诲，也一直并将永远鼓舞着我，表示作者积极的人生态度，故选B项。

　　8．What is implied in the passage by the writer?

　　A．To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.

　　B．Where there is a will, there is a way.

　　C．As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.

　　D．If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据第一段提到“Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly.”人生在世最难完成的两件事就是：用诚实的努力获得财富，以及拥有财富后，学会如何正确地运用，再根据第二段提到“What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？”如何才能幸福长寿地生活在世上呢？故D项意思更接近。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions. Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world. __1__. Here is a short list of main reasons trees are necessary for improving our living conditions.

　　●Trees produce oxygen

　　__2__. A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breathe. Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants.

　　●Trees clean the soil

　　The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. __3__ Trees filter(过滤) sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and so on.

　　●Trees are carbon sinks

　　To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. __4__. This locking－up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas.

　　●__5__

　　Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.

　　A．We could not exist as we do if there were no trees

　　B．Trees help clean the sky

　　C．A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces

　　D．Trees control noise pollution

　　E．Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world

　　F．The modern human community has other more practical reasons to admire and honor trees

　　G．Trees can either store harmful pollutants or change the pollutants into less harmful forms

　　语篇解读：树对人类的生存环境起着重要的作用。无论是天然林还是人工林，都在美化着这个星球。树在哪些方面造福我们呢？

　　1．F　空格的前句说的是地球上的自然林和我们种植的树木一起创造更好的世界。空格后的句子是说这里有一个关于树对改善我们的生存环境非常必要的重要原因的简单列表。故F项“当今的人类还有其他更现实的理由敬佩、珍视树木”起承上启下的作用，符合语境。

　　2．A　根据下文可知，此处是说树所生产的氧气帮助我们存活，故A项符合语境。

　　3．G　由空后的内容可知，树木会过滤污水和农业用药，减少动物粪便的影响及清理路边的污物等，故G项能概括此处描述的内容。

　　4．C　根据空前的“locks away carbon dioxide”和空后的“Thislocking－up process‘stores’carbon”可知答案。

　　5．D　结合本段内容可知，此处讲的是树木可以减少噪音污染，故D项符合文意。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　This is a story of a little girl and her grandmother. One day, I was looking for medicine in a store __1__ I saw an old woman with a little girl in her arms. The little girl asked her grandmother，“ __2__ do you think about a brand new face cream that is supposed __3__(reduce) laugh lines？” The grandmother just laughed and said, “Sweetie, I am 80 years old. I __4__(learn) to love all my laugh lines. I have __5__(actual) earned every one of them.” Then just to prove her point, she laughed again and amused __6__ granddaughter.

　　1．______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

　　6．______　7.______　8.______　9.______　10.______

　　语篇解读：小女孩建议自己的奶奶购买消除笑纹的面霜，奶奶回答说，她喜欢自己的笑纹。作者也希望人们能够学会爱上自己的笑纹。

　　1．when　考查连词。when在这里表示“就在这时(突然)”。

　　2．What　考查疑问代词。What do you think about sth.？表示“你认为……怎么样？”。

　　3．to reduce　考查非谓语动词。be supposed to do sth.意为”应当做某事”，故此处填to reduce。

　　4．have learned/have learnt　考查动词时态。根据上下文语境可知，奶奶已经学会爱上自己的笑纹，所以用现在完成时。

　　5．actually　考查词性转换。形容词actual转换为副词actually，修饰整个句子。

　　6．her　考查代词。根据该句主语she可知，应填形容词性物主代词her。

　　7．that/which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，所填词引导定语从句，先行词是a sound，关系词在从句中作主语，故用that/which。

　　8．better　考查比较级。根据语境以及空前的“a lot”可知，此处应用形容词的比较级，good的比较级是better。

　　9．over　考查介词。over the years表示“历年来，多年以来”。

　　10．the　考查冠词。形容词最高级前应用定冠词the。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错
