Recently we’ve had a popular department store open in our area. It’s been the talk of the town for months. On about the third day of the grand opening, I thought I’d stop by to check it out. I noticed right away that the parking area was very busy.
As I was about to exit my car, a lady was about to enter her car to leave. She was parked on the opposite side of me and there was a four way stop behind our parking areas. As the lady tried to back out to leave, some of the drivers were extremely rude to her. They shouted and beeped their horns at the lady and she had a look of terror on her face. She looked at me and threw up both of her hands as if she didn’t know what to do.
I gestured for the lady to put her window down and I told her that she was doing just fine. She smiled and seemed to relax. I then became her rear view mirror (后视镜）as it was hard for her to see behind her while backing out of the parking space. As I watched for safety, she was able to back out enough to drive forward.
At this point, she was smiling broadly！She thanked me many times. I felt that many of the other drivers weren’t sympathetic enough toward her. I was happy to help that lady. Besides that, who knows, we may have avoided a potential accident with this simple act of patience and kindness.

A. seemed scared and didn’t know how to deal with it.
B. didn’t pay attention to their action.
C. turned to the writer for help
D. drove her car back and parked it where it used to be
6. Noticing the woman’s difficulty, the driver ________.
A. comforted her and guided her to drive out
B. offered to drive her car out of the parking area
C. told her to use her rear view mirror
D. stood by smiling and watched her driving by

【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. B

As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.
The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.
The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.

Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl(爬), while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr. Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were typically boys’ toys: a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two and three years old, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more suitable for boys or girls and the children’s choice.
Dr. Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to preferring moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
12. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because________.
A. baby boys are much more active
B. baby girls like bright colors more
C. there is a natural difference between them
D. their parents treat them differently
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
C. Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.
D. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
14. Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with ________ according to the study.
A. a teddy B. a car C. a doll D. a ball
15. We may read this article in a________section of a newspaper.
A. health B. science C. culture D. entertainment
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项研究显示，女婴在会爬的时候会直接奔向洋娃娃，而男婴则会奔向玩具汽车。这些发现首次在非常年幼的婴儿中显示出差异，表明他们的偏好有生物学基础。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.（这些发现首次在非常年幼的婴儿中显示出差异，表明他们的偏好有生物学基础。）”可知，男婴和女婴对玩具的偏好不同，可能是因为他们之间有一种自然的差异，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two and three years old, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched.（在年龄最小的孩子(9到14个月)中，女孩玩洋娃娃的时间明显比男孩长，而男孩花在汽车和球上的时间比女孩多得多。在2岁和3岁的孩子中，女孩玩洋娃娃的时间占50%，而只有两个男孩会短暂地触摸它。男孩们几乎90%的时间都在玩汽车，而女孩们几乎不碰汽车。 ）”可推断出，婴儿年龄越大，他们的偏好就越明显。故选D。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Some were typically boys’ toys: a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set.（有些是典型的男孩玩具:汽车、挖掘机、球和蓝色泰迪熊。其余的都是女孩的玩具:一个粉红色的泰迪熊、一个洋娃娃和一套烹饪用具。） ”可知，根据这项研究，男婴和女婴都喜欢玩泰迪熊。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第一段的“The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.（这些发现首次在非常年幼的婴儿中显示出差异，表明他们的偏好有生物学基础。）”可知，本文是关于自然科学的，因此可以在报纸的科学部分读到这篇文章，故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。生活总是有遗憾，随着年龄的增长，我们回首往事，希望我们做出了更好的选择。那么如何避开遗憾呢？本文给了我们一些有效建议，遵循这些建议，我们会生活地更好。
【16题详解】
设空句所在段落一开始写到Life is filled with regrets.生活总是有遗憾。设空句接着用了三个小标题，给出了三个建议，所以设空句是承接下文的句子，提出问题句。选项D我们怎么做来避开遗憾呢？切题，故选D。
【17题详解】
设空句前所在部分的小标题Make better plans（制定更好的计划）和其上文的make a plan（制定计划），说明这个建议是有关计划制定的，选项G你将也会知道应该做什么，不应该做什么。这是在制定计划以后可能产生的效果，符合这一部分主旨，切题，故选G。
【18题详解】
设空句后的“Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. "谢谢"能给别人带来微笑。学会说"对不起"，不要生别人的气。这是建议对待别人要善良，选项C你也需要善良。引出下文，切题，故选C。
【19题详解】
设空句为标题句，从句型结构来看，选项A和B符合。这一建议的内容中多次出现friend或friends，所以应该与“朋友”有关，选项B找到合适的朋友。切题，故选B。
【20题详解】
failure出现在设空句前的句子中，只有选项F中有这一词汇，词汇复现，故选F。
【点睛】在做七选五题型的题目时，要根据设空句所在位置进行有针对性的初步筛选，缩小选择范围。本题中的第4小题设空句为标题句，所以要先根据文中标题句的句型结构进行筛选，文中标题句都是祈使句，在七个选项中只有选项A和B是祈使句，这就大大缩小了选择范围，正确选项只需在这两个中去选择就可以了。
第二部分：英语知识运用（共二节，满分40分）
第一节：单项填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
从每题所给的A、B两个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. —Linda，the phone in your office can't be connected all the time. Why
—Oh，sorry，Miss Miles. The service________since last Wednesday.
A. has been stopped B. has stopped
C. was stopped D. had stopped
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：—琳达，你办公室的电话总是打不通。为什么 —哦，对不起，Miles小姐。这项服务从上周三就停止了。由since可知，句子时态是现在完成时，service是被停止，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语service是单数，因此空格处是has been stopped，故选A。
22. Customers are asked to make sure that they ____ the right change before leaving the shop.
A. will give B. have been given C. have given D. will be given
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：要求顾客在离开商店前要确保已得到了正确的找零。give后接双宾语，the right change作直接宾语，customers作间接宾语，所以当customers作主语时，其谓语动词要用被动语态；在该句中，显然强调“得到了正确的找零”在“离开商店前”已经完成，故使用完成时，再者make sure后的从句中一般用一般现在表示将来，所以用现在完成时的被动语态。故选B。
23. Although the causes of cancer _____________we do not yet have any practical way to prevent it.
A. are being uncovered B. have been uncovering
C. are uncovering D. have uncovered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：虽然癌症的原因正在被解开，但是我们何不用一些实际可行的方案去防止呢？这里the causes of cancer与uncover之间是被动关系，故排除BCD, 且根据句意，表示动作正在进行。故选A项。
24. The construction of the two new railway lines ________ by now.
A. has completed B. have completed
C. have been completed D. has been completed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，两条新铁路线的建设已经完成。由by now可知，句子时态是现在完成时，construction是被完成，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语construction是不可数名词，因此空格处是has been completed，故选D。
25. The thief was caught stealing money from the shop opposite the school and ________ by the local police at the moment.
A. was questioned B. had questioned
C. is being questioned D. has been questioning
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态：句意：小偷被抓住在学校对面的商店偷钱，现在正在被警察询问。根据句中时间状语是at the moment可知，用现在进行时。the thief和question是被动关系，用现在进行时的被动语态。故选C。
26. We can’t use the machine now, for it ________.
A. has been repaired B. is repairing
C. is repaired D. is being repaired
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：我们现在不能用这台机器，因为它正在修理。由now可知，句子用现在进行时，it指machine，是被修理，因此空格处用现在进行时的被动语态，即is/are being done，主语it是单数，因此空格处用is being repaired，故选D。
27. She said that she ________her work the next day.
A. will finish B. would finish
C. finishes D. finished
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：她说她将在第二天完成她的工作。that引导宾语从句，由主句谓语动词said可知，从句应用过去的某种时态，结合next day可知，空格处用过去将来时，即would finish，故选B。
28 E-mail English is a new kind of written English that ________to save time.
A. be being used B. was being used
C. being used D. is being used
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：电子邮件英语是一种新型的书面英语，被用来节省时间。that指代先行词English，是被使用，空格处是that从句中的谓语，且由前面的is可知，英语是正在被使用，因此空格处用现在进行时的被动语态，that是单数，因此空格处用is being used，故选D。
29. Great changes ________ in Zhejiang province in the past few years.
A. have taken place B. were taken place
C. have taken the place D. were happened
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成时和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几年中，浙江省发生了巨大的变化。由in the past few years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，take place意为“发生”，无被动语态，主语changes是复数，因此空格处是have taken place，故选A。
30. He said that his car________stolen and he________have to telephone the police.
A. was; would B. has been; will
C. had been; would D. had been; will
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：他说他的汽车被偷了，他得给警察打电话。宾语从句的主句谓语动词是过去式，从句应用过去的某种时态，故B、D排除；又因为汽车被偷，应发生在said之前，故应用过去完成时。故选C。

Recently we’ve had a popular department store open in our area. It’s been the talk of the town for months. On about the third day of the grand opening, I thought I’d stop by to check it out. I noticed right away that the parking area was very busy.
As I was about to exit my car, a lady was about to enter her car to leave. She was parked on the opposite side of me and there was a four way stop behind our parking areas. As the lady tried to back out to leave, some of the drivers were extremely rude to her. They shouted and beeped their horns at the lady and she had a look of terror on her face. She looked at me and threw up both of her hands as if she didn’t know what to do.
I gestured for the lady to put her window down and I told her that she was doing just fine. She smiled and seemed to relax. I then became her rear view mirror (后视镜）as it was hard for her to see behind her while backing out of the parking space. As I watched for safety, she was able to back out enough to drive forward.
At this point she was smiling broadly！She thanked me many times. I felt that many of the other drivers weren’t sympathetic enough toward her. I was happy to help that lady. Besides that, who knows, we may have avoided a potential accident with this simple act of patience and kindness.
4. What was the difficulty the woman met with when she wanted to leave
A. The writer’s car prevented her from driving out.

A. seemed scared and didn’t know how to deal with it.
B. didn’t pay attention to their action.

D. drove her car back and parked it where it used to be
6. Noticing the woman’s difficulty, the driver ________.
A. comforted her and guided her to drive out
B. offered to drive her car out of the parking area
C. told her to use her rear view mirror

A. politeness and wisdom B. patience and kindness
C. bravery and kindness D. rudeness and patience
C
As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.
The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.
The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.
8. The biggest problem of learning English is________.
A. not knowing how to learn B. being afraid of being laughed at
C. looking foolish D. making mistakes
9. The fastest way to learn English well is________.
A. practicing over and over again B. listening to it every day
C. going over the fear D. going to a foreign country
10. To create a good environment, you need to do many things except________.
A. putting English books around your room
B. listening to English radios
C. watching English news and movies
D. speaking English with your friends only in class
11. According to the passage, English exercises and tests are_________ .
A. very necessary B. not helpful at all
C. very boring D. not important
D
Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl(爬), while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr. Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were typically boys’ toys: a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two and three years old, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more suitable for boys or girls and the children’s choice.
Dr. Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to preferring moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
12. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because________.
A. baby boys are much more active
B. baby girls like bright colors more
C. there is a natural difference between them
D. their parents treat them differently
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
C. Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.
D. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
14. Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with ________ according to the study.
A. a teddy B. a car C. a doll D. a ball
15. We may read this article in a________section of a newspaper.
A. health B. science C. culture D. entertainment
