2013?湖南卷

PartⅡ Language Knowledge (45 marks)

Section A (15 marks)

Directions: For each of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence.

Example：The wild flowers looked like a soft orange blanket ________ the desert.

A．covering B．covered

C．cover D．to cover

TheanswerisA.

21 Happiness and success often come to those ________ are good at recognizing their own strengths.

A. whom B. who

C. what D. which

21．B　 考查定语从句。句意：幸福和成功往往降临到那些善于认识到自己优点的人身上。空格前的代词those指代“人”，且在定语从句中作主语，故用who引导定语从句。

22． “What do you want to be？” asked Mrs Crawford. “Oh, I ________ Psident，” said the boy, with a smile.

A. have been B. am

C. was D. will be

22．D　 考查动词的时态。句意：Crawford夫人问道：“你(长大了)想干什么？”“哦，我想当总统。”男孩面带微笑地说。根据问句“What do you want to be？”可知，该句中暗含“when you grow up”，因此回答用一般将来时。

23． You must learn to consult your feelings and your reason ________ you reach any decision.

A. although B. before

C. because D. unless

23．B　 考查时间状语从句。句意：做任何决定之前都要学会顾及自己的感受和做这件事的理由。此处before引导时间状语从句，意为“在……之前”。

24． Around two o'clock every night, Sue will start talking in her dream. It somewhat ________ us.

A. bothers B. had bothered

C. would bother D. bothered

24．A　 考查动词的时态。句意：每天晚上2点左右，Sue总会说梦话。这弄得我们有点儿烦。此处will是情态动词，意为“总会”。根据every night可知是“经常”发生的动作，因此用一般现在时。

25． The sun began to rise in the sky, ________ the mountain in golden light.

A. bathed B. bathing

C. to have bathed D. having bathed

25．B　 考查非谓语动词。句意：太阳在天空中升起，丛山沐浴在金色的光亮之中。此处bathe是及物动词，意为“把……浸泡在……之中”，在这里用作结果状语，与主句的主语the sun构成逻辑上的主动关系，故用动词-ing形式。

26． If nothing ________， the oceans will turn into fish deserts.

A. does B. had been done

C. will do D. is done

26．D　 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：如果置之不理，海洋就会变成鱼类的沙漠(海洋里就会没有鱼)。条件状语从句和时间状语从句中不能用将来时，只能用现在时表示将来的动作；而且主语nothing与动词do之间是被动的关系，因此要用被动语态。故D项正确。

27．?Have you heard about the recent election?

?Sure, it ________ the only thing on the news for the last three days.

A. would be B. is

C. has been D. will be

27．C　 考查动词的时态。句意：??你听到过有关最近的选举的消息了吗？??肯定听过啦，这可是最近三天唯一的新闻事件。根据时间状语for the last three days可知，该新闻一直延续到了现在，用现在完成时态。

28．Do not let any failures discourage you, for you can never tell ________ close you may be to victory.

A. how B. that

C. which D. where

28．A　 考查名词性从句。句意：别让失败弄得你垂头丧气，因为你永远不知道你离胜利有多么近。及物动词tell后接宾语从句，该宾语从句本身又是一个感叹句；修饰形容词close用how。

29． You cannot accept an opinion ________ to you unless it is based on facts.

A. offering B. to offer

C. having offered D. offered

29．D　 考查非谓语动词。句意：你不能接受别人给你提出的建议，除非该建议是基于事实的。过去分词offered作定语修饰名词opinion，与该名词构成逻辑上的被动关系。

30． Every day ________ a proverb aloud several times until you have it memorized.

A. read B. reading

C. to read D. reads

30．A　 考查祈使句。句意：每天都要几次大声朗读一句谚语，直到你记住为止。连词until引导时间状语从句，前面为主句，其主语实际上是you。不要被时间状语every day所迷惑。

31． ________ warm at night, I would fill the woodstove, then set my alarm clock for midnight so I could refill it.

A. Staying B. Stayed

C. To stay D. Stay

31．C　 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了晚上保暖，我往火炉中添了木材，又设置了午夜闹铃以便及时添加。此处“保暖”是“添加木材”的目的，故用不定式表示。

32． He ________ sleep, although he tried to, when he got on such a hunt for an idea until he had caught it.

A. wouldn't B. shouldn't

C. couldn't D. mustn't

32．C　 考查情态动词辨析。句意：尽管他想睡，但是却睡不着，当时他一直在拼命想着一件事，一直到想清楚为止。此处couldn't意为 “不能”，符合题意。

33． The university estimates that living expenses for international students ________ around $8，450 a year, which ________ a burden for some of them.

A. are；is B. are；are

C. is；are D. is；is

33．A　 考查主谓一致。句意：那所大学估计，对国际学生来说，一年的生活开销大约是8450美元，这对他们中某些学生来说是一个负担。第一空的主语是living expenses，是复数，因此谓语动词用复数；第二空的主语是which，指代的是前面整个句子，因此谓语动词用单数。

34． ?I don't understand why you didn't go to the lecture yesterday afternoon.

?I'm so sorry. But I________ my homework.

A．had done B. was doing

C. would do D. am doing

34．B　 考查动词的时态。句意：??我不解的是你昨天下午怎么不去听讲座。??对不起。但是(当时)我正在做家庭作业。很显然，“听讲座”和“做家庭作业”是同时进行的。因此，要用过去进行时。

35． Not once ________ to Michael that he could one day become a top student in his class.

A. occurred it B. it did occur

C. it occurred D. did it occur

35．D　 考查倒装。句意：迈克尔从来没有想到过有一天自己会成为班上的优秀学生之一。否定词not once置于句首，引起部分倒装。

When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase __36__ and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I'm leaving.”

“If you want to __37__， that's all right，” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I __38__ my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.

“Wait a minute，” Mom said. “I want your __39__ back. You didn't wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off?shoes, socks, underwear and all?and __40__．“Can I go now？” “Yes，” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don't expect to come back.”

I was so __41__ that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. __42__ I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I ran to __43__ behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was __44__ the girls had passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.

“Who's there？” I heard.

“It's Billy! Let me in！”

The voice behind the __45__ answered, “Billy doesn't live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c'mon, Mom! I'm __46__ your son. Let me in！”

【要点综述】 八岁时，作者有过一次离家出走的经历，当时妈妈没有阻拦，她巧妙地让作者意识到自己还没有独立生活的能力。

36. A　考查动词的辨析。因pack与它所修饰的名词suitcase为动宾关系，故用过去分词作宾补，表示衣服等放在箱子里“打包”。

37. D　考查动词短语的辨析。根据第一段可知，作者是要离家出走。下文也有提示。

38. C　考查动词的辨析。妈妈告诉作者，他来到这个家时，什么都没有带，走的时候也要这样。所以作者就把箱子和三明治重重地“扔”在地板上，又朝门口走去。

39. B　考查名词的辨析。根据空后的“You didn't wear anything when you arrived.”和下文的“…with nothing on…”可知，妈妈是要作者脱掉身上的“衣服”。

40. D　考查动词的辨析。根据上文中的“This really angered me.”可知，作者撕烂了衣服?鞋子?袜子和内衣。与此对应的就应该是“大声咆哮”，发泄心中的愤怒。

41. A　考查形容词的辨析。承接上一段，妈妈最后说，走了就别想再回来。这更加让作者生气。所以作者“砰”一声关上门，来表达心中的“愤怒”。

42. C　考查副词的辨析。愤怒之中的作者根本没有注意到自己的形象，等到出来一看，发现自己身上没有衣服，当然是非常“突然地”。

43. B　考查动词的辨析。此时恰好又看见两个邻家女孩朝自己家门口走过来，作者显然觉得不好意思。此时又不能进屋，只好立即跑到院子里的一棵大树后“躲”起来。

44. A　考查形容词的辨析。因为没有穿衣服，看到两个女孩走过来作者才躲起来的。他此时才想到离家出走根本行不通，因此，他在“肯定”那两个女孩走了之后，才敢跑到门口大声撞门。

45. C　考查名词的辨析。根据上文可知，妈妈在家里，说话的应是妈妈。因此传过来的声音是在“门”后的。

46. B　考查副词的辨析。根据上文可知，作者请求妈妈让自己回家，只好使出最后一招“我还是你的儿子”。副词still表示“仍然，还”。

47. D　考查名词的辨析。此处呼应第一段的“…I once decided to run away from home.”，表示妈妈进一步确认，作者是否改变了离家出走这一“决定”。

Section C (12 marks)

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blankwith oneword that best fits the context.

When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ 48.________ the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪) 49.________ 24 hours，” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, 50.________ created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.

The ball is made of 51.________ special material, ethylene-vinylacetatefoam. It's lightweight, it's flexible, and?52.________ important?it holds its shape.

The One World Futbol needs no pump 53.________ won't wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 54.________ withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.

Although it costs more to produce 55.________ a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it's been given to kids in 143 countries.

【要点综述】 由于真正的足球容易变形损坏，所以Tim Jahnigen发明了一种耐用的新式足球。

48. Because　考查连词的用法。“因为”用来踢足球的场地常常崎岖不平且有很多岩石，“所以”大多数足球很容易消气、变瘪。because引导原因状语从句。

49. within　考查介词的用法。下一空前solve this problem“解决这个问题”，说明足球消气、变瘪是很容易的，也就是时间很短，在24小时“以内”。

50. he 　考查人称代词的用法。句子缺主语，he指代上文中提到的Tim Jahnigen。

51. a　考查冠词的用法。名词material是可数的。这种足球是由一种特殊的材料制成的。

52. most　考查形容词比较等级的用法。破折号后是it holds its shape“能保持不变形”，这一点正是针对上一段的问题而言的，正是“最”重要的一点。

53. and　考查并列连词的用法。连接两个并列的否定词组no pump和won't wear out，意为“不用打气，也不会磨损”。

54. it　考查指示代词的用法。本句缺主语，而且该主语与test构成逻辑上的被动关系，可见指代的是上文中的The One World Futbol。

55. than　考查连词的用法。根据空前的more和空后的比较对象a typical soccer ball可知答案。

Part Ⅲ　Reading ComPhension (30 marks)

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS　Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid?or you're looking for a big event to pass your time?check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION　If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF　Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE　London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．

56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．

A. help travelers pass time

B. attract lots of travelers to the UK

C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation

57．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________．

A. a hotel away from the train station

B. the tube line to Covent Garden

C. an ideal holiday destination

D. the name of a travel agency

58．The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________．

A. lies on the ground floor

B. is located in central London

C. provides cooking facilities for tourists

D. costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September

59．Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________．

A. half an hour

B. one hour

C. one hour and a half

D. two hours

60．The main purpose of the passage is ________．

A. to tell visitors how to book in advance

B. to supply visitors with hotel information

C. to show visitors the importance of self-help

D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips

【要点综述】 文章主要介绍了到英国参观时一些省钱的技巧。

56. D　推理判断题。文章提到同样的一间房在这个节日和不在这个节日时的价格不同，因此这里是说明在盛大节日时旅行者付出的房费要高一些。

57. A　推理判断题。此段的标题就是讲住宿要远离车站，而作者列举Farringdon的双人间价格非常便宜，因此可以推断Farringdon是一个离车站比较远的宾馆。

58. C　细节理解题。 根据此段的“…checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.” 可知，它是一个为游客提供做饭设备的宾馆。

59. A　细节理解题。 根据文章最后一句中的“…Cardiff free for up to 30 minutes…”可知，Cardiff能提供最多30分钟的自行车免费租用时间。

60. D　写作意图题。 文章主要是说在英国旅游省钱的一些好方法，因此D是最佳选项。

B

In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.

Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it dePssing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been Ppared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.

Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of apPciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.

61．“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________．

A. a program directed by Dorothy

B. a course given by the author

C. an activity held by the students

D. an organization sponsored by Union College

62．In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing ________．

A. the long track B. the poor houses

C. the same train D. the winding road

63．Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by ________．

A. a warm welcome

B. the sight of poke greens

C. Dorothy's latest projects

D. a big dinner made for her

64．What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?

A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.

B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.

C. She passed the required assessment.

D. She received her Ph.D. degree.

65．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.

B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.

C. However poor you are, you have the right to education.

D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.

【要点综述】 Dorothy在一所条件非常差的学校获得了很大的成功，这说明一个人获得成功与他在什么地方没有直接关系，最重要的是要付出努力。

61. B　细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第三句可知，Early Childhood Development是作者教的一门课程。

62. B　细节理解题。 根据文章第二段最后一句的“…the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.”可知，又小又破的房子使作者感到最为失望，因此B项正确。

63. A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一、二句可知，一到Dorothy的教室，作者就受到热烈的欢迎，这使她的忧郁消失了，因此A项正确。

64. C　推理判断题。 文章最后一段第三句提到Dorothy面试材料准备充分，而此段的“…to celebrate her victory…”说明Dorothy已经通过了评估测试。

65. D　主旨大意题。文章通过讲述Dorothy在极其恶劣的环境下获得成功的故事，说明一个人不管在什么地方，只要付出努力就能实现自己的梦想，因此D项正确。

C

It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.

It's a library built with love.

A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break！”

Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.

After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2，500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.

They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.

Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.

The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”

66．In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”？

A. It owns a yellow roof.

B. It stands near a sidewalk.

C. It protects book lovers from the sun.

D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.

67．Janey got the idea to build a library from ________．

A. a visit to Brian Williams

B. a spring break with her family

C. a book sent by one of her neighbors

D. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization

68．The library was built ________．

A. by a ship supply company

B. on the basis of toy horses

C. like a mailbox

D. with glass

69．What can we infer about the signboard?

A. It was made by a user of the library.

B. It marked a final touch to the library.

C. It aimed at making the library last long.

D. It indicated the library was a family property.

70．The passage tells us that the users ________．

A. donate books to the library

B. get paid to collect books for the library

C. receive thank-you notes for using the library

D. visit the library over 5 times on average daily

【要点综述】 文章主要讲述了Janey Henriksen一家建立微型图书馆的故事。

66. B　细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第二句可知这个特殊的图书馆为过路的人提供借书的方便，因此B项正确。

67. D　细节理解题。 根据文章第三段第一句可知Janey Henriksen是因为看到一篇关于the Little Free Library organization准备建社区图书馆的报道后受到启发才建这样特殊的图书馆的。

68. C　细节理解题。 根据文章第四段第一句可知C项正确。

69. C　推理判断题。 根据文章第五段可知，这个标牌要读者拿走一本书一定要归还，其目的是使图书馆能够持续更长的时间。

70. A　主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句可知借书者经常捐书给图书馆，因此A项正确；文章没有提到给图书馆筹备书应获得报酬，因此B项错误；文章最后一段提到Peter经常收到借书者的感谢信，而不是借书者收到感谢信，因此C项错误；根据文章倒数第二段第二句可知D项错误。

Part Ⅳ　Writing (45 marks)

Section A (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证)．

Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.

The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast?they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.

However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.

Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

【要点综述】 本文是一篇事实类说明文。主要谈到有关MOOCs这个教育机构的特点?潜力?面临的问题及其未来的发展。

71. MOOCs　文章标题题。直接在原文中查找信息。根据第一段第一句及全文中多处出现的“MOOCs”可知答案。

72. no requirement　词性转换题。根据第一段的“…no entry qualifications are required…”，将required转换为名词，与表格中对应项保持一致。

73. cannot afford　信息整合题。考查信息整合能力。根据第二段的“…who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education…”可知，且将have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of变为afford即可。

74. no formal qualifications　信息转换题。考查信息转换能力。根据第二段的“…who do not have formal qualifications.”可知，且将do not have变为have no即可。

75. Potentials　段落大意题。考查对一个段落的概括总结。根据第三段的第一句可以直接得出答案。

76. providing　词性转换题。考查动词转换为动词的-ing形式。根据该空对应项保持一致的原则，将第三段中的provide变形即可。

77. Challenges　段落大意题。考查对一个段落的概括总结。根据第四段However的转折和第一句的“…it is still very early days for MOOCs.”可知，该段主要谈论的就是其面临的挑战。最后一段的第一句中有提示。

78. particularly difficult delivery　信息转换题。考查信息转换能力。表格中的对应项是名词短语，因此将第四段中的delivery is particularly difficult转换即可。

79. evaporating　词性转换题。考查动词转换为动词的-ing形式。根据表格可知，要填动词的-ing形式。根据最后一段第一句中的soon evaporate转化而来。

80. considering　词性转换题。考查名词转换为动词的-ing形式。根据最后一段的最后一句“…are well worthy of serious consideration.”获得信息。但是空格后是副词seriously，可见空格中要填动词。因此先将consideration变为动词consider，再根据worth的用法加上-ing即可。

Section B (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

“Let's Talk”：The Free Advice Project

A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different?giving free advice.

A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.

Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.

Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her?but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some Ptty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.

Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is important in the decision-making process.

Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply tries to provide people with perspective.

I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.

It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York?where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.

【思路点拨】虽然英文提示只提到四个词，但是所给信息量却非常大，它的主要意思是一次比赛的结果是有赢有输，并就此发表自己的看法。这就决定了这篇文章的体裁是夹叙夹议。因此我们首先应该讲述比赛的经过和结果，最后再进行议论。

One possibleversion：

Last week, a football match was held between we Class One and Class Two.

The players from both sides are all excellent football players, so the match went on fiercely at first. At last the result was: the winner was Class Two, and we were the loser.

We didn't win the match, but we didn't lose heart. On the one hand, we think that friendship comes first, and match comes second. On the other hand, since we all tried our best, we had no regret. In our life we may meet many failures. As long as we try our best, there's no need feeling regret for these failures. What's more, we should analyze the reasons of failure to get success for the next time.

In a word, success is important, so is failure, because it's the mother of success.

【范文点评】 本文语言规范、条理清楚、脉络清晰。过渡性词汇at first, at last, on the one hand, on the other hand，in a word等的贴切使用使文章意义更连贯、逻辑更严密。总体上讲不失为一篇优秀的习作。
