1．The twins are so much alike that their own mother can hardly________.
A．tell them from B．tell apart them
C．tell them apart D．divide them up

2．—I'd love to join your club.
—That's great. We take in new members who________our interests and hobbies.
A．spare B．share
C．stare D．scare
答案：B 考查动词辨析。句意——我想加入你们俱乐部。——太好了。我们接受有共同兴趣和爱好的新成员。spare节约，节省；share共享，共有；stare凝视，盯着看；scare惊吓，受惊，威吓。

4．Life is difficult. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it，________life is no longer difficult.
A．so that B．and
C．then D．but
答案：C 句意：生活是困难的。这是一个真理。因为一旦我们真正理解并接受了它，那么生活就不再难了。在because引导的原因状语从句中含有once引导的让步状语从句，所以从属连词once不能与连词so that，and和but连用，但可与副词then连用。
5．It seems to most people that difficulties represent a kind of ________upon them.
A．suffering forced B．pain forcing
C．injury putting D．ache put
答案：A 句意：对于大多数人而言，困难似乎代表一种强加在他们身上的痛苦。suffering痛苦；pain疼痛；injury伤害，受伤处；ache疼痛。force...upon sb.把……强加给某人，因与所修饰的名词有被动关系，故用其过去分词作定语。
6．It was in that house________he used to live________the secret meeting was held.
A．where; where B．that; that
C．what; where D．where; that
答案：D 考查定语从句和强调句。句意：秘密会议正是在他过去居住的那个房子里召开的。第一空引导定语从句，因关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故用where。第二空是强调句型，结构为：It is/was＋被强调部分＋that...，故填that。
7．In my opinion, smoking should________not only in public places, but also in people's homes.
A．banned B．be banning
C．be barred D．barred
答案：C 考查动词辨析和被动语态。句意：依我看，不仅应该在公共场合而且在人们的家中都应该禁止吸烟。ban和bar为近义词，且同为及物动词，句子应使用被动语态，故C正确。

A．Which B．It
C．That D．As
答案：D 考查as的用法。句意：众所周知，太多的压力会引起疾病。由句式可知，句子的前面为非限制性定语从句，as引导非限制性定语从句，从句可置于句首或句末，表示“正如”；which引导非限制性定语从句，从句置于句末，表示结果。
10．When________different cultures, we often pay attention only to the differences without noticing the many similarities.
A．compared B．being compared
C．comparing D．having compared
答案：C 考查非谓语动词形式。句意：当我们比较不同的文化时，我们经常只注意到不同点，而没有注意众多的相似点。因在When引导的时间状语中，动词compare与主语有主动关系，故应用动词-ing形式的基本形式。When引导的时间状语也可看成是When we are comparing...省略了从句的主语和be动词的形式。

It's interesting that someone who writes in a blog __7__ a diary will probably write nearly the same informaion.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her __8__. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. __9__ I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but __10__ in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was __11__ that my sister might read it!

1．A.the same B．troublesome
C．difficult D．daily
答案：A 此处强调“博客”与传统日记的内容是一样的。
2．A.familiar B．special
C．similar D．different
答案：D 通过下文then可知，此处指两者的不同。
3．A.a personal B．an ordinary
C．a dated D．a traditional
答案：D 作者强调的是“传统的”日记。dated“过时的”；显然不符合现实情况；personal“个人的”；修饰日记，没有必要。
4．A.attractive B．public
C．convenient D．quick
答案：B 通过下文看，“博客”与日记的最大区别在于它的“公开”，任何人都可能看到。
5．A.thoughts B．puzzles
C．mysteries D．secrets
答案：D 根据文章所提供的上下文对比的逻辑以及常识判断，日记记录的都是个人的“秘密”。
6．A.tell B．share
C．publish D．solve
答案：B 既然是秘密，就不想跟别人“分享”。日记不一定会出版，因此不选publish。
7．A.instead of B．as well as
C．in favor of D．in spite of
答案：A 此处强调的是写“博客”的人，“而不是”写日记的人的情况。
8．A.blog B．diary
C．report D．web

9．A.Since B．Although
C．When D．Because

答案：D 作者把日记藏起来，“担心”会被别人看见。
12．A.problem B．doubt
C．trouble D．mistake
答案：A 从后面的内容看，“博客”的内容会被别人看到，具有公开性。如果说了别人的坏话会伤害别人的感情，因此此处介绍的是“博客”的“问题”。
13．A.unpleasant B．wrong
C．mean D．funny
答案：C 从后面伤害别人的感情看，此处说的是别人的坏话，mean此处当形容词，意思是“恶意的”。
14．A.Besides B．However
C．Therefore D．Then
答案：B 此处说明的是“博客”与日记的不同，因此上下文形成转折关系。
15．A.should B．will
C．must D．might
答案：D 在“博客”上发布攻击别人的言论，这个人“或许会”看到。不可能“一定会”看到，因此must，will不符合逻辑。
16．A.reasons B．disadvantages
C．shortcomings D．advantages
答案：D 前面说明了“博客”的问题，这儿再介绍“博客”的好处。
17．A.everyone B．no one
C．anyone D．someone
答案：B 在日记上写了什么东西，别人不会看到，因此选no one。
18．A.happily B．especially
C．quickly D．immediately
答案：C 在“博客”上写上同样的东西，最好的朋友很快就会看到，因为他们一直关注着你。选immediately不符合逻辑。
19．A.like B．miss
C．need D．help
答案：A 此处指来自于最好的朋友的安慰，与前文“没人关心我”相呼应。朋友的喜欢就是“关心”。“思念”不符合文章前后的逻辑。如果选“需要”则把逻辑关系颠倒了。
20．A.lose B．stay
C．get D．find
答案：B “博客”的最大好处在于使人们时刻保持着联系。stay in contact with sb.＝keep in touch with sb.“与某人保持联系”。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A(2008·陕西高考)
This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?
The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing — the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn't write anything on the board.
The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers(层次)of meaning. Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学)．
Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions(定义)when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”
But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
1．What do we know about this unusual class?
A．The teachers did lots of writing on the board.
B．The teacher were invited to attend several lectures.
C．The students were professors from a university.
D．The students were studying science and humanities.
答案：C 答案可从文章第一段第二句中找到。
2．The experiment was designed to find out________
A．how to teach the students in the science class.
B．whether poetry is difficult for science students.
C．what to be taught in the humanities class.
D．why many humanities students find science hard.
答案：D 细节理解题。从文章第一段最后两句可知试验的目的。
3．Finding levels of meaning is________.
A．important for graduate students in humanities.
B．difficult for graduate students in humanities.
C．common for undergraduate students in science.
D．easy for undergraduate students in science.
答案：A 细节理解题。从文章第三段最后两句可知答案。
4．What did the science professors learn after the experiment?
A．They should change the way they teach.
B．A poem could be explained in clear definitions.
C．A poetry class could be more informative.
D．Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.
答案：A 答案在文章最后一段。

Ⅵ.阅读理解(2010·山东)
Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, Versed.”
“I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win，”said Armantrout.
“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Award for“Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention，”Armantrout said, “but I don't feel as if it's better.”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，”said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed，”published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing, than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
