An aged man raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white flowers on the surface of a clear calm lake. He had already passed sixty of the stages 16 (lead) to his certain goal — the tomb, and he had brought from his journey nothing 17 mistakes and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind empty, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts. The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled 18 serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads — 19 leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with beautiful flowers, fresh fruits; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, 20 was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes crawled. 21 this New Year's night, he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to 22 (success) and were now honored and happy. The clock in the church tower 23 (strike) and the sound made him remember his parents' early love for him. They had taught him 24 prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. His darkened eyes were full of 25 (tear), and with a desperate effort, he burst out a cry: "Come back, my early days! Come back!" II. 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 阅渎理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili. When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn’t want to stay at home and work as a housewife: “It’s a waste of life.” Lili became so busy that she spent less and less time with me. She didn’t help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, “so that you can develop your independence”. We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents’ meetings. Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under control. I want to be perfect and I don’t expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve my goals. After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other. In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me. That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles around them. She took me to see a therapist (治疗师). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was like a wheel spinning (旋转) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I only realized it when my body couldn’t stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears. “It’s all my fault, she’s just a kid and I didn’t have time to take care of her….” To be honest, I had never seen Lili cry before. After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is the one who really cares about her kid. 26. Lili quitted her job and started her own business because _________.

Or you could disappear to a faraway land, never grow old and fight pirates every day? For Peter Pan and his friends, the Lost Boys, these dreams come true. More than 100 years after this playful boy was “born”, Peter Pan and his friends are to continue their adventure in a sequel(续集)to J.M. Barrie’s original novel. “Peter Pan in Scarlet”(重返梦幻岛),written by British author Geraldine McCaughrean, was published earlier this month. The sequel brings all the original characters back. Peter Pan’s friends, the Lost Boys, are now grown up and live in the real world. What’s more, at the end of the first book, Peter Pan thinks he has killed his enemy, Captain Hook. But ,new readers discover he is not so dead at all. For those who are unfamiliar with the original story, Peter Pan lives in faraway Neverland with a group of orphans. But they are eager for a real mother and Peter Pan flies to London with a fairy(仙女), Tinkerbell, to find one. They visit a young girl, Wendy,who loves to read stories, and bring her and her two brothers back to Neverland to live with them. In Neverland, children never have to grow up, and there are no parents to tell them what to do. Many teenagers dream of a world where they don’t have to grow old and take responsibility. But, the author explains such a world is not the paradise(乐园)when it first appears: adventures can be scary and often dangerous, and, though we all sometimes dream of running away, we all need someone to love and look after us too. 36. The passage is written to ________. A. tell you about an unrealistic dream B. introduce novels about Peter Pan C. analyze the difficulties of growing up D. explain why Peter Pan can’t grow old 37. “Peter Pan in Scarlet” is about _________. A. how some children fought against the pirate–Captain Hook B. the care–free life the children led in Neverland C. how peter Pan looked for a real mother for the Lost Boys D. how the Lost Boys return to Neverland for more adventures 38. The stories of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys reflect that those at their age ________. A. are ready to shoulder responsibility B. choose adventures in faraway places C. long for independence but also need someone to love them D. can’t wait to grow up 39. The place Peter Pan and his friend stay is named Neverland probably because . A. they never have to grow up B. they don’t have parents C. they never have troubles D. they never need to worry 40. Peter Pan flies to London _________. A. to find a fairy B. to visit a young girl C. to find a real mother D. to earn money D The British aren’t having as many children as they used to. One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them. After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but it’s incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK. The above explains why young British people now don’t move out of their parents’ home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home. Increasingly, it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. It’s only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child. So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isn’t he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses. Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day. Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive. The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families, since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children. With so much pressure on families, is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high? So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family? The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children. For example, there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month. Also, there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools, so that parents do not need to pay so much for child care. The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills. If parents didn’t have to work so many hours, they’d have more time to spend with their children and wouldn’t need to spend so much on childcare. On average, a Briton works 49 hours a week, which is the most in Europe. The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees’ work-life balance. Let’s hope they’re not too late to save the British family. Otherwise, the British will always be too tired, and won’t have enough time and money, to have children. 41. Young British people live in their parents’ home until around 30 because . A. They are allowed to get married at 30 B. they can’t find jobs to support themselves C. they can’t afford a house of their own until then D. they enjoy family life with their parents 42. The British are now having fewer children than before for all the following reasons EXCEPT that . A. they have fewer years to have children B. they live much shorter lives than before C. it is more expensive to bring up a child D. people are losing their jobs because of the recent financial crisis 43. To make it cheaper to have children, the British government is . A. bringing down prices B. raising the salaries of parents C. reducing family income tax D. increasing subsidies for families and nursery schools 44. It can be inferred from the text that . A. with long work hours, it is hard for British parents to balance life and work B. more and more families in Britain are breaking up because they are having fewer children C. among Europeans, British people work hardest and earn the least D. childcare takes up too much energy and time for the British 45. The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 5 means _________. A. food paid by the government B. school buildings for poor students C .free transportation D. money from the government to benefit the public 第二节 信息匹配（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将46-50各小题中的人物与A-F中的书目匹配起来。 以下是一些书目介绍的信息： A. 20 Years Younger The book details easy and effective steps we can all take to rebuild the foundation of youth and enjoy better health, improved energy, and a positive outlook on life.
