試題分析：文章介紹了作者為了實現(xiàn)能夠進入學(xué)生會的夢想所做的努力，并最終贏得了選舉，順利地進入了學(xué)生會，在實現(xiàn)了兒時的夢想的同時也收獲了很多。
1.考查動詞辨析。根據(jù)“So I dreamed of being a leader”(所以我夢想成為一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者)可知，我總是欽佩學(xué)校的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)們對我們所有人負責。admire“欽佩、羨慕”符合句意。選A
2.考查動詞辨析。語境為：祈禱我能贏，但現(xiàn)實的打擊使我沒有機會。pray“祈禱”，符合作者想贏得選舉的心態(tài)。plan“計劃”，calculate“計算”，judge“判斷”，均不符合句意。選A
3.考查動詞辨析。it是形式主語，真正的主語是后面的動詞不定式：to win a school election。這里指的是贏得學(xué)校的選舉需要什么。take“需要、花費”，符合句意。assess“評估”，provide“提供，給予”，mean“意味，意思”選D
4.考查形容詞辨析。根據(jù)上題，作者不知道拿什么來贏得選舉，所以感到沮喪。depressed“沮喪的”，符合作者的心情。concerned“關(guān)心的”，surprised“感到驚訝的”， confused“困惑的”，均不能表達作者當時的心情。選B
5.考查副詞辨析。suddenly突然。句意：我突然做了一個深呼吸并決定不放棄夢想。符合作者堅定的態(tài)度。gradually“漸漸地”，immediately“立即”，impatiently“不耐煩地”；不能表達作者的態(tài)度。選C
6.考查動詞短語搭配。stand for elections為固定搭配，意為：參加競選。語境為：我決定在我上學(xué)的最后一年重新參選——并要在選舉中勝出。選B
7.考查名詞辨析。由語境可知，該空指的是下文提到的我的競爭對手們，也就是“competitors”(競爭對手)。句意：我意識到我的競爭對手們有很多事情占優(yōu)勢。companion“同伴”，enemy“敵人”，schoolmate“同學(xué)”；均不符合句意。選A
8.考查名詞辨析。這里承接上文，意思是：我的優(yōu)勢是什么？“cases”(情況；實例)指代上文提到的“a lot of things”。 選D
9.考查名詞辨析。句意：我最大的長處是我有信念。由上文的“in their favor ，in my favor”可知，這里談?wù)摰氖莾?yōu)勢，所以選strength，意為“長處”。problem“問題”，worry“擔心”，dream“夢想”，均不符合文意。選B
10.考查形容詞辨析。作者不想讓自己普通的外表阻礙自己將最好的一面展現(xiàn)出來。plain“普通的”。作者在列舉長處時，沒有提到自己的相貌。由此可以推知，她的相貌應(yīng)該不占優(yōu)勢，由此可知答案。選D
11.考查動詞辨析。分析完優(yōu)勢后，作者開始著手預(yù)先制訂自己的選舉計劃。begin“開始；著手于”。 選A
12.考查動詞辨析。句意：我意識到女孩們開始了解我，并且認可我有能力代表她們。represent(代表)，符合句意。選C
13.考查連詞辨析。上文所提到的我的優(yōu)勢“l(fā)oved making friends and I liked being helpful”與下文“打算利用自己的優(yōu)勢”構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。所以選so，意思是“因此”。 選C
14.考查名詞辨析。由下文的“public speaking”可知答案。“election speech”(選舉演講)。句意：為了學(xué)會如何進行一個優(yōu)秀的競選演講，我還參加了一個高效公共演講的培訓(xùn)。選B
15.考查動詞辨析。作者贏得選舉，同學(xué)們應(yīng)該為此歡呼以示高興。此處應(yīng)填“cheered”(歡呼)。選C

17.考查動詞辨析。作者的本意只是在競選中獲勝，但獲勝后作者突然意識到，除了實現(xiàn)了自己的夢想外，她還得到了友情、幫助了別人，所以作者認為自己收獲了比目標還要多的東西，所以選A，意為：完成，實現(xiàn)。accumulate 積累；devote獻身；develop發(fā)展。選A
18.考查介詞辨析。along the way一路走來，句意：在競選的過程中，我交了許多新朋友，并在前進的道路上幫助別人。選D

20.考查動詞辨析。這里指作者通過這次經(jīng)歷，有了更多的自信，“能夠讓自己的朋友快樂起來，讓她們的臉上帶著微笑，照亮她們的生活�！眀righten，意思是：使快樂、高興，符合語境。選C

Paloalto, California— “Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (兒科專家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said.
In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.
A. eat in front of the TV B. change their diet
C. do special exercises D. spend much time watching TV
According to the report, the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playing video games ________.
A. is four hours a day or more B. is less than four hours a day
C. has doubled in the last 20 years D. has been reduced to one-quarter
The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ____.
A. one hour B. two hours C. three hours D. four hours
Watching TV will increase kid’s weight because ________.
A. they usually eat more and move less
B. they no longer take part in outdoor activities
C. they will not burn off calories
D. they will enjoy having meals in front of the television

Andy Tomas is proof of the typical case that life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver.
“A lot of teachers say, ‘Don’t drink,’ but I’m not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it,” Andy says. “I just say, ‘Don’t get in a car.’”
As an 18-year-old, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.
One year ago, Andy, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken. He was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and remained in an unconscious state and on life support for nearly three weeks. His skull was opened to reduce pressure on his brain.
At Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, Doctor Erin Leahy initially found Andy unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a surprise.
Yet Andy’s recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy(治療) has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with right hand.
In the process of recovery, Andy has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his doctor, he began to attending meetings, delivering speeches.
He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. “I feel like I know how to talk to people.” He said. And his recovery and visible injury help him draw serious attention from students.
Drunk driving, he tells students, is like playing gambles. “You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen.”
Now his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, “ I’m a lot happier in my life.”
What’s the main purpose of the author?
A. Warn students about the danger of drinking.
B. Tell readers the danger of driving a car.
C. Advise people not to drive a car after drinking.
D. Show readers Andy’s amazing recovery experience.
Why does the author say Andy’s story is powerful as an 18-year-old boy?
A. Because his family supported him and cared for him carefully.
B. Because he is just like one of our classmates or friends.
C. Because doctors and family never gave him up.[
D. Because his classmates and friends are familiar with him.
What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Drunk driving will be fined a lot of money eventually.
B. Drunk driving will eventually have a serious accident.
C. Drunk driving is as adventurous and thrilled as gamble.
D. Drunk driving is banned even if you are an experienced driver.
What happened to Andy after the accident?
A. He made a full recovery and returned to his normal life.
B. He recovered quite well at an unbelievable speed.
C. He became more experienced and eager for more adventures.
D. He shared his stories with others to warn them not to try drunk driving.

For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（掃視）the entire sky to “l(fā)isten” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（銀河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（進化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.
According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?
A. 5 billion． B. 10 billion.
C. 15 billion. D. 200 billion
The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ .
A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.
A. find B. follow
C. check D. form
Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?
A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
D. Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.
