1. [2012·西安一检]

Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg.

A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Molly's legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Molly's life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染病菌的).

At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.

Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!

After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.

Kate Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false

leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!

16．Molly is the name of a________.

B.Kate Harris took Molly to a children's hospital after the attack.

C.In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly's life.

D.Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.

19．Which is the best title for the passage?

A．A Book on Molly

B．A False Leg

C．A successful Operation

D．Lea ving Her Mark

【答案解析】【要点综述】文章介绍了一匹名叫Molly的小型马在很小的时候不幸受伤，依靠安装假肢顽强生活下去的故事。这给了那些在逆境中的人们以极大的精神鼓舞，引导人们在逆境中保持乐观，看到希望。

16．B 细节理解题。由文章第三段“This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight…”及倒数第三段的“Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of

the leg.”可以看出：医生在Molly腿的底部安装了一个特殊的马蹄铁，所以推出Molly 是一匹马。

17．C 细节理解题。由第三段的“At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep”可以看出：起初，医生认为Molly会毫无疑问地被以人道的方法结束生命。由此可以看出：C项“In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly's life.”正确。注意选项所说的“end Molly's life”对应原文的“Molly would have to be put to sleep”。

18．A 细节理解题。由文章第一段的最后一句话知Molly装有一个镶有笑脸形状马蹄铁的假肢，这是因伤致残的Molly和它的同类相比特有的东西。故选A。

19．D 标题归纳题。纵观全文可以看出，文章开篇点题，也就是说，第一句话“Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark”就是文章的主题句。下文对此进行了进一步的阐述：Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. 然后详细解释了这个假肢的由来，故D项最能概括全文。其他各项都是文章的细节，不能概括全文。

2.Sir Henry Stewart was certainly successful. I asked one day, soon after he’d retired to attend his garden, what it was like to have achieved all of one’s ambitions. He looked down at his roses, and went on watering them. Then he said, “The only value in achieving one’s ambitions is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving. ” Within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. That was two years ago.

I recall this incident, for yesterday, I was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. I had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. As I set there filling my pipe, I suddenly heard

a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.

I looked over. There stood Sir Henry doing nothing less than a dance of pure unashamed delight. Even when he observed my puzzled face staring over the wall he did not seem embarrassed, but shouted to me to climb over.

“Come and see, Jan. Look! I have done it at last! I have done it at last!”

There he was , holding a small box of earth in his hand. I observed three tiny shoots out of it.

“And there were only three!” he said, his eye laughing to heaven.

“Three what?” I asked.

“Peach stones”, he replied. “I’ve always wanted to make peach stones grow, ever since I was a child, when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and forget where I planted them. But now at last I have done it , and , what’s more, I had only three stones, and there they are, one, two, three shoots,” he counted.

And Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement—the achievement of simplicity.

A．Delightful B．Valuable C．Worthless D．Suffering

69．What was the writer doing when he heard the shout of joy from Sir Henry?

A．Repairing the pipe.B．Preparing to smoke.

C．Drawing up his cart.D．Staring at the garden.

70．What did Sir Henry do when he saw the writer?

3.B. （2013天津卷）

Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.

“My family was so frustrated,”admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing,but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”

Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining

about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.

There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds,bats frogs,snakes,etc. For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.

Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of hight pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide,and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them,so that other creatures can share the night.

4.B“I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my

imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued：

“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no greater comf ort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then som eone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer．

【答案解析】【参考范文】

The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer．

For most people, it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want. It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse.

A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier, but it doesn’t always help in a positive way. Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing. Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth. Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically.（153 words）

【答案解析】【参考范文】

Dear Mike,

Thank you very much for your concern. I’m OK and so far no A H1N1 cases are reported in my school. However we are doing everything to safeguard ourselves from the disease. My school is thoroughly cleaned everyday. Windows are open to let in the fresh air. We are asked to stay away from crowds in the street and to wash our hands often both at school and at home. Our body temperatures are closely watched and any sign of fever will be dealt with immediately. The school canteen prepares more nutritious food to keep us strong and healthy. With all these measures I’m sure we can pull through this crisis safely.

Yours:

Lihua
