二、阅读理解
After an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where there used to be “an untidy gravel yard”.
I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns and high collars. And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.
Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.

三、短文改错
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处, 每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
My school has taken on a new look since it moved into a new place. It is quite different of the old one. It used to be only one classroom building and the playground is not large enough for all the students to have sports on. Sometimes we had to practise run along the streets outside. The teaching conditions were even worst. Our teachers used to teach with only a blackboard and chalk and the experiments could only be done in the classroom. But now besides the classroom building, a modern lab building has put into use, which all kinds of experiments can be done. We have not only a large playground and also a gym. Classes can be given by the help of computers and multimedia. What are great changes! I feel proud of my school.

2.A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的A huge expanse of glass extended across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where there used to be “an untidy gravel yard”. 可知, 新的草坪代替了以前的脏的碎石院, 由此可知, C项和D项正确。根据第二段中的I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns and high collars. 可知, 作者那个时代, 老师们都穿着高领子的黑色长袍, 故B项正确。再根据第一段中的I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. 可知, 作者想到学校会有变化, 但是没有想到学校完全变成另一个样子, 故A项陈述与原文意思不符。故选A。
3.C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. 可知, Mr Garstly对待员工和学生都有严格的纪律, 因此他是一位严格的校长。故选C。

三、短文改错
1. 第二句of →from。be different from表示“与……不同”。
2. 第三句It →There。此处是there used to be句型, 表示“过去有”。
3. 第三句is →was。此处描述的是过去的事情, 所以用一般过去时。
4. 第四句run →running。practise后面接动词的-ing形式作宾语。
5. 第五句worst →worse。even修饰比较级。
6. 第七句在has后面加been。此处指一座现代的实验楼已经被投入使用。building与use之间逻辑上为被动关系。
7. 第七句which →where。此处定语从句中缺少状语。
8. 第八句and→ but。此处是not only. . . but also. . . 的固定搭配。
9. 第九句by →with。with the help of. . . 表示“在……的帮助下”。
10. 第十句去掉are。此处是what感叹句, what+adj. +n. (+主语+谓语)。
