III. 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分)

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.[来源:学优高考网]

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 --friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise form teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 53 “in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though

37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose

38. A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started

39. A. idea B. plan C. belief D. saying

40. A. right B. chance C. ability D. patience

41. A. going B. looking C. cheering D. applying

42. A. point B. half C. rest D. basis

43. A. enjoying B. preparing C. attending D. watching

44. A. less B. later C. worse D. further

45. A. committed B. motivated C. embarrassed D. confused

46. A. Interestingly B. Fortunately C. Obviously D. Hopefully[来源:学优高考网]

IV阅读理解：40分(共20小题；每小题2分，共40分)

A

One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. "What’s a colander(漏勺)? " he asked.

I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.

As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What’s for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. "I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless.

Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.

56. Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?

A. Because he was not well behaved.

B. Because he refused to help with dinner.

C. Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.[

D. Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.

57. In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to _______.

A. building up children
