1，长宁D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分）
Face-to-face with a mother who doesn’t immediately praise every gift, my children have learned
to be very careful in choosing gifts. But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift
that really blew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our house where they grew up. But there
are the funny little love hearts teenagers draw just near their beds. The attic（阁楼）is
full of the old clothes they couldn’t bear to throw away. The high shelves still have lots
of novels for children, like The Night Before Christmas and The Muddle-Headed Wombat.
But those are not the reasons for being sad about leaving this house. There is much more to tie
me to the home where I brought up our kids. In the front room, there is a wall. On that wall are
hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates, recording the way my children grew.
Of all the objects, all the memories, it’s this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to
leave. Over dinner, over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even
though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I
was at work, my children decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to
remove the last traces（痕迹）of their babyhood, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they hired
Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer. She came to our house and, over hours, took
photos of the hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates. Somehow, she captured all those grey
marks and transformed them into the history of my family in just on image.
Three weeks later, the gift made its way to me, one life-size photo of lines. Representing love
and growth, it’s a gift that I will cherish forever.
88. Does the author praise her children for every gift at once?
89. What does the word “they” (in Para 2, line 2) refer to?
90. Why are the marks on the wall so important to the mother?
91. What did the children do with the marks, names and dates on the wall?
92. What can be the best title of the passage?
93. According to the passage, will the mother sell her house later? Tell your reason(s)!
2. 杨浦D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分）
Interviewer: With me in the studio is Linda Meehan, who’s recently returned from a six -month
exchange to do programme with a family in the Netherlands. That’s a long way from
home. Why did you choose your exchange programme there?
Linda: Well. None of my friends had been there or anything like that but my grandfather spent some
time there when he was young and he said I should visit one day and I’d planned to do that as
soon as I could. So when I had the opportunity to go to Europe, it seemed like the obvious
place to go.
Interviewer: But you were only 15. Was there anything you found difficult about living in a foreign
country?
Linda: Well, the family I stayed with in the Netherlands were really kind and I wasn’t lonely because I
shared the room with one of their daughters. She helped me get used to my new routine. The
only thing that was hard was the one-kilometre bike ride to school every day! I enjoyed it in
the summer but in winter was terrible.教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
Interviewer: And ___91___?
Linda: It was OK because there were a lot of classes in English. And they gave me projects to do when
there were subjects in Dutch I couldn’t understand. The school was very modern and much
bigger than most schools in Australia. The library was fantastic and they also had a lot more
science labs than my school at home.
Interviewer: What about the students?
Linda: Oh, they were really friendly. They gave me lots of advice about places I should visit. They’d
all travelled a lot more than me, though no one had been to Australia. But what I found really
strange was that they’d never thought about going away from their families for several months
like me. Some of them couldn’t understand how I could do that.
Interviewers: So is this an experience you would recommend?
Linda: Oh, definitely! I benefit a lot from the programme. And I think six months was the right amount
of time. I needed that amount of time to learn the language. But after six months I really needed
to see my parents. I was so happy to see them again.

3. 崇明D. Answer the questions （更具以下内容回答问题）（12 分）
It was a Friday morning. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at
my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t
pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now! I’m in a hurry!”
A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”
I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and
looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young
lady driving a taxi!”
The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home.
The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a
young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I started a
conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”
“Yes, madam, no problem.”
“I guess you are well-educated.”
“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”
“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial
career?”
I could see her face in the rear view mirror（后视镜）. She smiled and expressed her opinion. I
was really amazed.
Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic（感兴趣的）about driving since I was a
child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I received offers
from big companies but I preferred this one because I like it. Although I can’t earn much money
from this job, I love driving! That’s it!”

4. 奉贤 D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
Many of the world’s successful people were once failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.
Michael Jordan (born 1963) is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, he
himself admits that it hasn’t been easy. In a famous advertisement for Nike, he says, “I have missed
more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been
entrusted（委托）to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over again in
my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always
considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His
teachers and parents thought he was slow, and he was expelled （开除）from school. He later
famously said, “Success is failure in progress”
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country
through the Civil War （美国南北战争）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous
business that failed, he went bankrupt（破产）twice and was defeated in 26 campaigns（竞选）for
public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are
content with your failure.”
J.K. Rowling (born 1965) is the author of the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and
one of the richest women in the world. But before publishing the books, she was penniless, depressed
and trying to raise a child on her own. In a speech at Harvard in 2008, she said, “I had failed so greatly.
After a short-lived marriage, I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern
Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for
myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.”
So you see, just keep going!
88. How many times has Michael Jordan missed the game winning shot?
89. What happened to Albert Einstein in 1921?
90. Which did Abraham Lincoln care more about, whether he failed or how faced with his failure?

5. 虹口 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
Microsoft is testing a new software and needs your help. Just send Gates’ email message to
everyone you know, and you can get your prize money. Does this sound too good to be true? This
offer from Gates is a hoax (骗局). In fact, anyone with common knowledge in computers could
tell whether it is true. But that hasn’t stopped the hoax from spreading across the Internet like
wildfire. Millions of Internet users have sent this untrue message.
The Internet is full of hoaxes, lies and wrong information. They are passed through e-mails,
discussion groups and official-looking websites. Although most of them have been made known to
the public what they are, it’s still hard to kill a “good hoax”. Most Internet hoaxes are similar. They
often meet the needs of basic human feelings, like fear, greed or pity for others. Most importantly,
they often sound as if they could be possible.
If you’ve ever been fooled by a hoax, you are certainly not alone. Several famous newspapers
have reported information they got online, only to later learn it was only a hoax. Even public official
can sometimes be fooled. The city officials in California learned from a website that Styrofoam (塑料
泡沫) cups are made with a dangerous chemical, so they ordered that the cups should not be
produced. They felt foolish, however, when they learned that chemical’s common name—water.
Another hoax caused fear in Hong Kong. A website with the name of a famous newspaper reported
that the government planned to order local people to stay in their homes for the reason of an unknown
disease. As a result, worried people crowd the supermarket to buy daily products. Financial markets
began to fall, too.
It’s sometimes hard to know what’s real and what’s not. Use the Internet, but don’t believe
everything you read online.（303 words）
88. Can you get your prize money if you send Gates’ email message to everyone you know?
_____________________________,______________________________________________.
89. How is the wrong information on the Internet passed?

90. Why is it still hard to kill the Internet hoaxes?

6. 黄浦 D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分）
My mother often asked me, “What is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears,
Mommy.”
She said. “No. Many people are deaf. But try to use your head and I will ask you again soon.”
Then last year, my grandma died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked
at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the
most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her
and me. She saw the conclusion on my face and told me, “This questions is very important. It shows
that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most
important body part is your shoulder(肩膀)。”
I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”
She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry.
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough
love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

7. 金山 D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
Kindness goes a long way
When I was in college, a white cat liked to show up on our campus now and then. It was
clear that he was it stray（流浪的）cat because he looked thin. Students would play with him
after class and feed him all kinds of food. The school didn’t say anything about the can for a long
time.
But one day, we were told that one of our fellow students had an infectious（传染性的）
disease and that the cat was possibly the source(来源). After that, we were not allowed to touch
any stray animals on campus. The school started to make efforts to keep animals as well.
Since we were not allowed to feed the white cat, it was hard for him to find food on the
street. He became ill skin and bones. Though the rest of us couldn’t take care of the cat, a security
guard at our school decided to take on the responsibility of caring for him. He took the cat to a vet
for a health check. He also ______and________, as well as a small bed for him to sleep in. He
made sure that the cat was healthy and comfortable.
It might seem like a small effort to some people. But this man risked his job—his only source教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333

8. 静安 D. Answer the questions （更具以下内容回答问题）（12分）
Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Teenagers need to feel they belong. They
will feel upset when they have to eat alone in the cafeteria. They are afraid of being a “loner”（独
来独往的人）.
But actually, being a loner has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people. It
doesn’t always mean being strange or disliked.
In South Korea, there are more and more people who describe themselves as “honjok”. The
word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok” (tribe). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy
being alone.
In Japan, people have developed a strong loner culture for a couple of years. There are solo
（单人的）karaoke bars and solo cafes. Ramen restaurants for solo diners are especially popular.
Knowing that you are not alone in being alone may make you feel better. But more
importantly, you can try to find advantages in being alone. First, it gives you time to look inside
yourself. Second, it can make you focus on something else. “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re
trying to practice a hobby.” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. What’s more, you may
have fewer but stronger friendships –which have been linked to greater happiness.
So instead of rushing to find someone to talk to or hang out with, you may want to have fun
on your own. You can start by walking in a park or visiting a museum alone. It may seem strange
and boring at first. But ________________. You may finally find beauty in being alone.

9. 闵行 D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分）
My mom hates to cook. She'd rather ride her motorcycle or practice rock climbing. She also
spends a lot of time with me. Every morning Mom takes me to school by motorcycle. Occasionally
I'll come home to find her scaling(攀爬)the side of the house.
As her daughter, I used to feel embarrassed that my mom was so different. But
now________.
It all started with a cooking project. Every student in Mrs. Maitland’s home-economics class
was supposed to create an original dish, then present it at school the following Tuesday morning.
Mom and I spent hours in the kitchen. We tried jelly-filled hot dogs, baked ham with chocolate
sauce, and hard-boiled eggs rolled in coconut. We eventually agreed on chocolate cakes with bright-
green pepper mint frosting. I was satisfied. It beat hot dogs, anyway.
The big day came. Our parents appeared, bringing many tasty dishes. Finally, I saw Mom,
empty handed! I met her at the door. "You forgot it, didn’t you?
Mom's eyes opened wide. "I’m sor--"She couldn't finish her apology. A
loud alarm cut her off.
Mrs. Maitland yelled, "Fire! This is not a drill! Everyone out of the
building!"
We all headed for the stairs and gathered at the parking lot. Smoke
started to curl out of one of the third-floor windows. Mom held my hand tightly. I forgot about my
cake.
Suddenly, we heard a scream. We looked up and found Danny Patterson was trapped in the
burning building!
Mom disappeared. She grabbed her climbing tools from her motorcycle and walked quickly
toward the building. She scaled the huge pine tree next to the school. At the top, she started to throw
her weight back and forth. The tree swung toward the window, and she hopped onto the ledge and
into the building.
Mom's ropes flew as she created a harness. She secured one end, and then lowered Danny
safely to the ground. Everyone cheered!
Who cares if my mom hates to cook?

10. 浦东 D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)
Many young people love western festivals not because of their cultural meaning,
but because of life fun. They don't think it important to know the cultural meaning
about western festivals. Actually, we don't just need to remember their names, but
we should have an understanding of their culture and history. Western festivals are
popular in China because of the differences between western festivals and Chinese
ones.
Chinese festivals and western festivals were born for different reasons. Chinese festivals mainly
came from celebrations, worship and other activities. However, most western festivals are linked
with religions (宗教). Also the ways that western people and Chinese people celebrate festivals
aren't similar. Let's take Christmas and the Spring Festival as an example. At Christmas, people
prepare Christmas cards, Christmas trees and hold Christmas evenings. Traditionally,
Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival based on blood relationship in the
forms of watching television and paying New Year's visits. In addition, western
festivals deliver quite different values from Chinese ones. For example, the
Valentine's Day, which falls on February14th, adds fresh mind to Chinese. The
festival spreads seeds in every corner of China and encourages people to look for true love which
belongs to themselves. Ancient Chinese people don't dare to think of that.
Whether you like western festivals or not, you can't ignore the effect western
festivals they have brought to us. We are paying more attention to thanks-giving
and emotions instead of food and money. They have made great contributions to
enrich our culture.

Frank and his friends used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which
he wasn’t able to explain.
They were always camping in a place above a river. After that, they all rushed down to the river
and had a swim. Standing by the river，they noticed that it was surrounded(包围) by cliffs. If
someone wanted to reach the river, he had to walk past their camp. Several days later, their camping
leader had to be away for a day. That afternoon, they had supper early. They were sitting round the
fire, eating and talking, when an old man walked past and went down towards the river. They all felt
that man looked very frightening. Each of them kept silent and said nothing.
They ate very slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, they collected their plates
together so that they could take them to the river where they always washed them. But no one moved
towards the river. Then all shouting at once, they began talking about the man who had walked past
them. They agreed that how strange he looked and they wondered what he was doing by the river.
They knew that he could only return by passing through their camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested they should creep down by the river so that
they could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly, they crept down(蹑手蹑脚）towards
the bank. One boy climbed a tree and he could see everything clearly. He called to them that there
was no one there, so they ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. They could not教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark, they went back to their camp feeling unbelievable. They told the leader what
had happened in the evening. Smiling, he suggested they go and look again. They did, but there was
no one there.

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine year old Almie Rose told her father and
me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle didn’t seem
that strong, so we bought the most popular present for little girls, Baby Sitter’s Club dolls and a doll
house.
Then, out of our expectation, on December 23, Almie said that she
“really wanted a bike more than anything else.” It was just too late. With
all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute
gifts, how could we have time to select the “right bike” for our little
girl?
So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and
her six-year-old brother, Dylan, ready for sleep in their beds. Now we
could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“If I make a little bicycle out of clay（黏土）and write note that she could trade
（用… 抵换）the clay model in for a real bike, what do you think?” her dad asked.
“Well, for now. I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’. so I think
she will like it.‘’
So Almie's dad spent the next four hours working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas
morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red
and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.
Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?
Smiling, I said, “Yes.”
Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that
Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.
At that moment, we wanted to buy her every bicycle on the planet.
88. When did Almie first ask for a new bike?
89. What caused Almie’s parents to buy her the most popular present for light girls?教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333

Stress can be a silent killer, and can cause a lot of health problems, like being fat, heart disease
and sleep problems. In last week's free chat, we asked our readers how they get rid of it during
their busiest times.
Forget your worries
@Tina
For me, the best way to relax is to watch comedy(喜剧), which brings lots of fun. After watching
and laughing aloud, I forget all my worries!
@Jane
When I'm unhappy or sad I like listening to music and going to bed early. Music has magic that
lifts my spirits and getting a good night's sleep helps me forget my stress. I tell myself: tomorrow
will be wonderful
Recharge with exercise
@Shaw
The first year after I graduated, I worked as a translator, mainly responsible for translating all
kinds of materials. I wanted to show not only my boss but also the whole world what I could do.
I asked for much more tasks than I could really do, which made me so stressed every single
day. I didn't know how to solve my troubles. Thanks to team building exercises we organized every
month, I decided to follow my boss and become a marathon runner.
@Diner
As an English teacher since 1981, whenever I find myself under pressure, I choose to walk
around the campus, listening to the BBC and VOA, which never fails to make me feel better.
Keep working under pressure
@Clean
As a final-year university student, I am not busy preparing for final exams as I have taken
most courses in the first three years.
Some may think I'm fortunate, but the truth is that I really miss the busy days gaining knowledge,
taking exams, getting good grades, and winning prizes. I believe real happiness comes when one is
busy.
@Chips
With winter holidays drawing near, I feel stressed as a teacher in senior school. Making to-do
lists is a good way. There is no need to think much about endless tasks. Just finish them one by
one.

D. 15. 嘉定 Answer the question (根据以下内容回答问题) （12分）
“It’s time to wake up, Emily,” my mom sings from the kitchen. I pretended to open my eyes.
Why didn’t the alarm on my cellphone ring?
Soon, I realized it was April 8, the day for my program : “A day without technology.” I
didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into until I was driving to school in my car. No radio
blasting my favorite songs. I had to sing to myself.
As soon as I got to school, I went to the library to print out my English project from my flash
drive. “Uh-oh,” I thought. “This isn’t expected.” Finally, I had to spend nearly an hour writing the
report again.
The school day went on and I finally got used to the rules. This wasn’t so hard! I could do
this every day.
I drove home in silence again, and my mind eventually went into after-school mode (模式),
depending on what I would eat for supper and who would be voted off (被淘汰出局)American
Idol later that night. The last thing I knew, I was chat with friends on Facebook, check email and
watch a video on YouTube, all at the same time!
My mom walked in and her jaw dropped.
“What happened to no homework?” she asked me. I froze for the second time that day and
ordered myself to go back to reality. I had failed.
This experiment, which many teenagers would never have the courage to try, was actually
convenient to me. Even though my attempt(尝试) at going about my day without these luxuries
(奢侈品) was a failure, I realized that if I really tried, I would be completely successful without
my addiction to technology.
These devices suddenly make my life easier, and I’m sure I wouldn’t practice getting rid of
them altogether, but I do believe the lives of today’s teenagers would be dramatically different
without our tech dependence.
