Ⅱ.完形填空
Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire—he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.
There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, __16__ he set his mind to it.
He knew that his __17__ had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate __18__ that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could __19__ books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could __20__ things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within—and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one __21__， he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to __22__ all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any __23__ meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and __24__ children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide __25__ he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew __26__. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling __27__， he looked in the mirror. A worn­out, gray­haired man stared back at him. He looked __28__ into these eyes and, all of a sudden, __29__ one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped __30__forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是，自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have __31__ this or that if not for such­and­such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but __32__. You simply lack something that is __33__ for achieving that goal you've never reached—a talent, a skill, willpower, __34__ something else. In fact, __35__ you don't achieve is something you're not capable of achieving.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian(埃塞俄比亚的)teenager about her wedding day.The 16­year­old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school’，” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland's President and former U．N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever­increasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub­Saharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allow them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child's life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
36．In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________．
A．giving an example
B．explaining his opinions
C．describing the poor education system
D．coming straight to the topic
37．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C．Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D．Robinson encourages female education.
38．What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?
A．It provides basic knowledge of health.
B．It reduces aging population.
C．It makes people pay more attention to education.
D．It can change people's parenting ideas.
39．According to the passage，one of the most important ways to control high population growth is to________．
A．let girls go away from Africa
B．keep girls in school
C．let young girls remain single
D．keep girls in families

课时作业(十一)
Ⅰ.1.D　考查动词的时态和语态。由make predictions可以看出，动作还没有发生，所以用将来时，演员是被奖励的，所以用被动语态，故选D。
2．D　考查过去分词作状语。remind 和其逻辑主语some drivers是动宾关系，也就是说，司机是被提醒的。尽管被提醒不要酒后开车，一些司机仍然心存侥幸，这十分危险。
3．B　考查动词的时态和语态。in the past few years为现在完成时的标志，主语“thousands of films”和谓语动词“produce”为动宾关系，所以用完成式的被动语态。句意：在过去的几年里，世界范围内数千部电影被制作。
4．C　still 应该放在被修饰的形容词前面，而enough应放在被修饰的形容词之后，所以选C，意为：足够的精力充沛。
5．C　考查动名词的用法。此处to是介词，其后him returning为动名词的复合结构。
6．C　考查名词辨析。award 颁奖，奖赏。句意：他被提名为最佳男演员奖的候选人。 reward 酬劳； scholarship 奖学金； result 结果。
7．A　本句为it用作形式主语的句型，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。

10．A　考查主动表被动形式。在“be ＋ 形容词 ＋ to do”结构中，其后的不定式常用主动形式。
11．B　考查状语从句的连接词。此处while意为：尽管。句意：尽管中国认为人民币汇率合理平衡，但是美国仍对元施加压力。

13．D　benefit from 从……中获益；be awarded the first prize被授予一等奖。
14．D　考查情态动词。句意：——他们本该更细心地准备会议的。——但他们没有这样做。真可惜！ought to have done过去本该做某事而未做。
15．B　考查冠词。第一空为特指“已完成的那份报告”，故用定冠词the；第二空为抽象名词，不填冠词。
Ⅱ.人生苦短，如何过一个有意义的人生，如何认识自己？文章将会让我们认识到人生的真谛。
16．C　从上下文知，如果(if)他想这样做的话，世界都感觉像是他的一样。
17．B　从上下文知，他知道他的潜能巨大，又因下段首句…having such a potential中有potential的原词复现，所以用potential。
18．D　从语意知，他知道他有超越以往任何国王的力量，所以用power。
19．A　从句意知，他觉得他能写(write)一些书让后人震惊。
20．A　从上下文知，他知道他能发明一些让后人受益无穷的东西，所以用invent。
21．B　根据第一段to die提示知，他有一个问题，那就是只有一次“生命”，所以用life。
22．D　所以他要做出决定，把能力用在什么地方呢，所以用apply表示“运用”。
23．A　上一空前choice有提示知，这里表示“选择，抉择”。
24．C　根据上下文知，他要上学，毕业，找工作，结婚，然后抚养小孩子，故用raise。
25．B　这里是where引导的宾语从句，表示“……的地方”，选B项。
26．C　根据上文知，随着年岁的增长，他变得越来越老，故用older。
27．B　根据上文a sudden chest pain提示知，当有一天他照镜子的时候，发现他变得“虚弱”了，所以用weak，选B项。
28．D　根据语意知，He looked closely into these eyes表示“仔细地看了看自己的眼睛”，所以选D项，用closely。
29．A　然后他一下子领会到了(realize)一个真理。
30．C　根据上下文知，他的心脏永远停止了跳动，所以用stop beating。

Ⅲ.人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。
36．A　篇章结构题。在本段中，作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题，所以A项正确。
37．C　推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题，但与人口快速增长相比，这算不了什么。几乎所有的人口增长都发生在发展中国家，这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。
38．D　推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在《自然》杂志中写到中等教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。
39．B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知，控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。
