解析：have trouble in doing sth.做某事有困难。
答案：A
2．With no one to ________ when the earthquake happened，the foreign tourists felt very hopeless.
A．turn to B．turn on
C．turn off D．turn over
解析：考查短语辨析。后面的信息“felt very helpless”暗示“无人可求助”，因而选turn to。
答案：A
3．The expert stresses that the ________ of goods, rather than the ________ of production, is the key to improving the nation's economy.
A．quantity；quality B．quality；quantity
C．quality；quality D．quantity；quantity
解析：考查形近词辨析。根据“是质量，而不是数量是改善一国经济的关键”可知，应选B项。
答案：B
4．If an airplane is ________，it will certainly crash.
A．under control B．out of control
C．lose control D．in control
解析：考查固定短语。out of control失去控制。句意：如果飞机失控，就会失事。under control被控制住；lose control失去对……的控制；in control控制着，所以应选B。
答案：B
5．—Do you think you will escape ________ by the law?
—I'm afraid not.
A．to be punished B．being punished
C．punishing D．to punish
解析：考查escape的用法。escape表示“逃避，避免”时，后接动名词作宾语，此处逻辑主语you与punish之间有被动关系，因而使用动名词的被动形式。
答案：B
6．______by keeping down costs will this computer company hold its advantage over other ones.
A．Just B．Still
C．Only D．Yet
解析：考查倒装句。句中“will this computer company hold...”使用倒装结构，因而可知选only，因为only和它所修饰的介词短语放在句首时，句子要用部分倒装，即将助动词、情态动词或系动词放在主语前。
答案：C
7．The woman told me it would be cheap but ______ it cost me nearly ￡100.
A．as a result B．in a word
C．at last D．as a matter of fact
解析：考查短语。由前后的转折意义看，D项“事实上，实际上”最佳；前后并无因果关系，因而排除A项。
答案：D
8．(2012·吉林长春外国语学校月考)My friend Jennifer，______
help I've made great progress in my studies，will leave for Canada next week.
A．in whose B．in her
C．with whose D．with her
解析：with one's help在某人的帮助下，故用with whose help引出定语从句。
答案：C
9．—How do you find your new boss?
—Well，I found him kind and honest ________ I saw him at the opening ceremony.
A．for the last time B．at the time
C．the first time D．one time
解析：考查固定用法。根据句意应使用the first time 引导时间状语从句，意为“第一次……”。for the first time是介词短语，不能引导从句。
答案：C
10．Since this is the first time you have broken the law, you will be given a light________.
A．prison B．judgment
C．sentence D．blame
解析：考查名词辨析。句中have broken the law是解题信息，give sb.(a)sentence是固定短语，表示“对某人判刑”。
答案：C
11．Although the working mother is very busy, she still ________ a lot of time to her children.
A．devotes B．spends
C．offers D．provides
解析：考查动词的用法。devote time to sb.把时间花在某人身上。
答案：A
12．The young waiter helped the little girl and she ________him with a sweet smile.
A．gave B．brought
C．rewarded D．offered
解析：考查动词辨析。reward用作动词时与介词for和with搭配，表示“酬谢；报答；奖赏”。
答案：C
13．I shall never forget those days ________ I lived in the army with the soldiers, ________ has a great effect on my life.
A．that; which B．when; which
C．when; that D．which; that
解析：考查定语从句。句中先行词是表示时间的days，关系词在从句中作状语，故使用关系副词when；第二个空用which引导非限制性定语从句，代指主句中I lived in the army with the soldiers这件事情。
答案：B
14．Increasing poverty has led to a situation______ some people cannot afford their children's school fees.
A．which B．as
C．why D．where
解析：考查定语从句。定语从句中有些先行词虽不表示具体的地点，但表达“阶段，境地，形势，地步”时，也用where来引导定语从句，有此种用法的词还有：stage，situation，case，point等。
答案：D
15．—What about going to Tibet by train this summer?
—______，but I have to prepare for my College Entrance
Examinations.
A．All right B．Sounds great
C．I can't D．No，I am terribly sorry
解析：考查交际用语。答语的后一部分是委婉拒绝，礼貌的做法是对于对方的建议先给予称赞然后再给出不能做此事的理由，因而正确答案是B。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
About five years ago, I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little excited, but I worried I would never fit in with the other sixth graders.
Lucy, a girl in my class, who I thought was not ready for change, didn't like me from the start. In fact, I was pretty sure she hated me. I would ask her a question and I could tell she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term. Lucy was unhappy. I didn't wear make－up, and I didn't wear those terrible bell－bottom pants. I didn't exactly look like the coolest girl. But, I kept smiling at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her she looked beautiful, even when she was angry.
Finally, Lucy let me talk to her, even in sight of her “cool” friends. She started telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember the first time when she smiled at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her thanks. Lucy invited me to her house for a party, and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends.Lucy, the girl who hated me, called me her best friend.After that, we still were good friends a whole year later.
I may have moved to Arizona after that, but I will never forget Lucy. It's funny—I still remember her birthday. She was a great friend. And to think, she considered me her enemy at first. Though it was hard, and it felt like I was wasting my time, and losing my dignity (尊严), I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me.I'm not stupid. I didn't think she was right in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And we became great friends.
About two weeks ago, I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln: “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them？” Immediately, I smiled, thinking of Lucy. That sentence just reminded me how great it was for me to change Lucy into my friend in that state of Iowa five years ago.
1．When the author started at a new school in Iowa, she worried________.
A．she looked stupid when asking questions
B．she didn't look like the coolest girl in her class

2．How did the author change Lucy's attitude towards her?
A．By wearing make－up.
B．By keeping smiling at Lucy.
C．By wearing bell－bottom pants.
D．By sitting beside Lucy in class.
3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph, we know the author thought________.
A．it was right of her to suffer when making friends
B．it was a waste of time to make friends with Lucy

D．it was foolish of her to smile at Lucy all the time
4．What is the main idea of this passage?

B．Friendship needs to be cared for.
C．Making friends means losing enemies.
D．Kindness can defeat any enemy.
答案与解析
1．D　细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知，她担心的是能否与同学相处好。
2．B　细节理解题。由第三段最后一句和倒数第二段第五句可知，作者一直用微笑面对露西，从而改变了露西对自己的态度。
3．A　段意理解题。通过这一段可知，作者并不认为自己容忍露西是在浪费时间、丢弃尊严。通过自己的努力，作者把一个把自己当敌人的同学变成了最好的朋友，所以她认为自己所做的一切都是正确的。
4．C　主旨大意题。作者一直以微笑和善意来对待一个名叫露西的女孩，从一开始露西把作者当作敌人，到最后她们成为最要好的朋友。这个故事证明了林肯的话：和敌人交朋友也就是摧毁了敌人。
B
I remember my mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12 years old, old enough to remember her homeland, young enough to forget. While learning a new language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices，whether it was my dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in the sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mum. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colours, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth: Her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist；relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told；directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible.Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.
5．From where might the author's mum come to America?
A．China. B．England.
C．Russia. D．Canada.
6．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．The author was taught to read since she was born.
B．The author's father spoke English poorly.
C．The author couldn't fall asleep without being read to.
D．The author's parents taught her language by talking a lot.
7．The illness left the author's mother unable to ________.
A．think clearly B．express herself well
C．speak D．hear
8．What's this passage mainly about?
A．A strong mother.
B．A family's disaster.
C．The importance of language.
D．The way of teaching language.
答案与解析
5．A　推理判断题。由第二段最后一句中的Chinese可推知，作者的母亲可能来自中国。
6．D　细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，作者的父母在家里不断地谈话交流，通过这种方式教会孩子语言。
7．B　细节理解题。由第四段最后一句可知，作者的母亲已经无法正确地表达自己的思想。
8．C　主旨大意题。本文通过记述作者的母亲学习语言、教孩子学习语言以及因患病语言功能受损的过程，旨在阐述语言的重要性。文章在最后一段点明了主旨。
