My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

A. He got an older model than he had expected.
B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
9. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。)”可知，Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。
D
To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively (广泛地). Yet one may be at a loss to choose the suitable books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen made sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too distant to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and simple style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary (当代的) novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss lot of treasures. English essays (散文) can at once inform you, interest you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the simplicity and the sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.
Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous the person might be. We should open to different ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
12. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand
A. Complicated conversations. B. Sentences and Austen’s thinking pattern.
C. The old-fashioned vocabulary. D. Not knowing the social background.
13. When can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”
A. Necessary. B. Challenging. C. Expert. D. Responsible.
14. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Choose books that challenge us most. B. Read books that are amazing.
C. Don't be affected by others’ choices. D. Compare books before buying.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. Give comments on literature works.
B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books.
D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物，作者给出了自己的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen made sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too distant to me at that time.(困扰我的不是她的词汇，而是奥斯汀的造句方式，以及她的思维方式，在当时我觉得这些都太遥远了)”可知，作者的第一本英文读物《傲慢与偏见》的句子结构和作者简·奥斯汀的思维方式使作者很难读懂这本书。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“English essays (散文) can at once inform you, interest you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the simplicity and the sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people.(英语短文可以立即给你信息，娱乐你，提高你的英语品位。最好的例子就是伯特兰·罗素的作品。它的语言平淡无奇，但你却不禁感受到它的优雅和独特的幽默感。他简单的语言使他的哲学通俗易懂)”可知，划线词前面的部分主要讲的是阅读英语文章的好处。由此可知，此处指的应是文章也是必不可少的。故划线词的意思应是“必不可少的，必需的”，与A项necessary的意思相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous the person might be. We should open to different ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison.(不要盲目地听从别人的建议和意见，不管这个人有多有名，有多有影响力。我们应该接受各种意见，但总是要自己思考和决定。俗话说，一个人的佳肴可能是另一个人的毒药)”可知，作者在最后一段建议我们要自己做决定，不要盲目听从别人的建议，因为萝卜青菜各有所爱，即不要受别人选择的影响。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively.(要培养一个人的英语品味，最有效的方法是广泛阅读英语书籍)”以及“As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.(作为一个土生土长的西班牙人，我想分享一些我的经验)”可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉初学者如何选择英语书籍。故选B。
第二节：七选五（5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why do people travel There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.
To travel far enough to meet yourself
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. ___16___ You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.
___17___
If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.
To slow down and relax
A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our fingers. ___18___ The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. ___19___
To celebrate life
Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. ___20___
A. To become a storyteller.
B. Travelling lets you discover yourself.
C. To break through your comfort zone.
D. So, go travelling to celebrate life itself.
E. You can relate to the world and connect to others.
F. And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure.

【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章就人们为什么去旅游给出了几个原因。
【16题详解】
根据上文Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. 可知有时你会发现自己没有存在感．B项：Travelling lets you discover yourself旅行会让你发现自己。符合文意，故选B。
【17题详解】
空格处是段落标题。根据下文If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone.Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable 可知，如果你回顾你生命中所有令人惊异的记忆，你会意识到它们中的大多数都不在你的舒适区，旅行是危险的，充满了威胁生命的可能性，不会总是舒适的，故C项“这一自然段描述了旅游打破了你的舒适带”符合文意，所以选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. 可知，如果你不能把钱花在一次小小的冒险上，钱就一文不值。 因此推断G项：Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money．逃避生活一段时间，因为经历远比金钱更有价值。符合文意，故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. 可知离开工作场所的感觉是纯粹的幸福，不用担心那些没完没了的文件的感觉是纯粹的快乐。F项：And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure．离开老板几天的感觉纯粹就是一种享受，符合文意，故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. 可知生命短暂，世界广阔。总有一天，你可能会醒来，意识到你没有时间去做你一直想做的一切，再也不会了。偶尔，花点时间欣赏你还活着，年轻，自由和健康的事实。因此推断这里意思是去旅游来庆祝生活本身。故选D。

45. to say 46. was
47. which 48. Unfortunately
49. a 50. considering
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了世界最大的城市之一——伦敦。虽然人口不多，但它是最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一，到伦敦旅游虽然并不便宜，但物有所值。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：它的人口比东京和上海少，但它是最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一。由语境可知population(人口)指的是前一句所提到的伦敦的人口，应使用形容词性物主代词its(它的)代替伦敦修饰population，表示“伦敦的人口”，空处位于句首，首字母需大写，故填Its。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它的人口比东京和上海少，但它是最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一。短语“one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词”表示“最......之一”，故填destinations。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：伦敦最著名的可能是它的博物馆、画廊、宫殿和其他景点，但它也比许多其他地方包括更广泛的民族、文化和宗教。短语“be famous for sth”表示“因为......而著名”为固定搭配，故填for。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：伦敦最著名的可能是它的博物馆、画廊、宫殿和其他景点，但它也比许多其他地方包括更广泛的民族、文化和宗教。根据介词than(比)可知此处形容词应使用比较级形式，故填wider。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：人们过去常说它也是最脏的城市，但是现在它比以前干净多了。短语“used to do”表示“过去常常”，符合句意，故填to say。
【46题详解】
考查时态。句意：人们过去常说它也是最脏的城市，但是现在它比以前干净多了。由句意可知此处说比以前干净，时态为一般过去时，主语it为单数，故填was。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：令许多人惊讶的是，它现在也有一些欧洲最好的餐馆，这使伦敦成为欧洲最令人兴奋的城市。分析句子可知这里包含一个非限定性定语从句，先行词为“它现在也有一些欧洲最好的餐馆”这件事，从句缺少主语，应使用关系代词which代替先行词作从句的主语引导该从句，故填which。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：不幸的是，伦敦绝对不是欧洲最便宜的城市，但考虑到在伦敦有什么可看的，有什么可做的，在伦敦度假还是物有所值的。分析句子结构可知，空处应填入副词作状语，修饰整个句子，空处位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Unfortunately。
【49题详解】
考查冠词。句意：不幸的是，伦敦绝对不是欧洲最便宜的城市，但考虑到在伦敦有什么可看的，有什么可做的，在伦敦度假还是物有所值的。holiday为可数名词单数，由语境可知此处表泛指，应使用不定冠词进行修饰，holiday为辅音音素开头，应使用不定冠词a，此处表示“在伦敦度过一个假期”，故填a。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不幸的是，伦敦绝对不是欧洲最便宜的城市，但考虑到在伦敦有什么可看的，有什么可做的，在伦敦度假还是物有所值的。分析句子结构结合句意可知，动词consider(考虑)在此处应使用现在分词形式considering(考虑到)，后接宾语从句作原因状语，修饰整个句子，故填considering。

I’m Adam, freshman at senior high school. Go from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. First, I had to think about that which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable one: maths, English, chemistry and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, and I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I signed up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I know I’ll have to study hard as a senior high school student and get used to be responsible for a lot more. I’ll be good prepared for university or wherever else comes in the future.

4. one→ones
5.and→but

8.be→being
9.good→well
10.wherever→whatever
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了作者高中生活和学习所遇到的挑战。
【详解】1考查冠词。句意：我是亚当，一名高一新生。freshman为可数名词，泛指“一名高一新生”,freshman首字母的发音为辅音音素。故freshman前加a。
2考查动名词。句意：从初中过渡到高中是一个很大的挑战。本句为动名词做主语。故Go改为Going。
3考查连接词。句意：首先，我必须考虑我想选哪些课程。about后接宾语从句,根据句意，从句的连接词为which。故去掉that。
4考查代词。句意：学校的指导老师帮我选择了合适的科目:数学、英语、化学和语文。根据“maths, English, chemistry and Chinese”可知，应该用one的复数ones。故one改为ones。
5.考查连词。句意：我知道中文是一门很难的语言，但我希望毕业时能说流利的中文。根据句意可知，前后为转折关系。故and改为but。
6.考查虚拟语气。句意：我的导师建议我报考高级文学专业，因为我喜欢英语，而且我擅长英语。本句中recommend后接宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气:（should）+动词原形。故signed改为sign。
7．考查比较级。句意：我知道作为一名高中生，我必须更加努力地学习，并习惯承担更多的责任。根据句意可知，我必须更加努力地学习，所以用形容词比较级。故hard改为harder。
8．考查动名词。句意：我知道作为一名高中生，我必须更加努力地学习，并习惯承担更多的责任。get used to doing sth“习惯于做某事”。故be改为being。
9．考查副词。句意：我会为上大学或未来的任何事情做好准备。副词well修饰形容词prepared。故good改为well。
10. 考查连接词。句意：我会为上大学或未来的任何事情做好准备。For为介词后接宾语从句，宾语从句缺少主语，表示“无论什么”。故wherever改为whatever。

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
4. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set
A. He got an older model than he had expected.
B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
C. He could have bought it at a lower price.
D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.
5. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1
A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels
C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies
6. How did the author finally get his TV set working again
A By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.
C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.
7. How does the author sound when telling the story
A. Curious B. Anxious
C. Cautious D. Humorous
C
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
9. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
D
To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively (广泛地). Yet one may be at a loss to choose the suitable books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen made sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too distant to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and simple style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary (当代的) novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss lot of treasures. English essays (散文) can at once inform you, interest you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the simplicity and the sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.
Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous the person might be. We should open to different ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
12. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand
A. Complicated conversations. B. Sentences and Austen’s thinking pattern.
C. The old-fashioned vocabulary. D. Not knowing the social background.
13. When can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”
A. Necessary. B. Challenging. C. Expert. D. Responsible.
14. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Choose books that challenge us most. B. Read books that are amazing.
C. Don't be affected by others’ choices. D. Compare books before buying.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. Give comments on literature works.
B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books.
D. Recommend first class books to English learners.

I’m Adam, freshman at senior high school. Go from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. First, I had to think about that which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable one: maths, English, chemistry and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, and I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I signed up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I know I’ll have to study hard as a senior high school student and get used to be responsible for a lot more. I’ll be good prepared for university or wherever else comes in the future.
