八、阅读回答问题(共10分)
What do you do when you begin to read an English newspaper
You’d better know what sections there are. Usually, there is international news, business, entertainment or lifestyle, sports and cartoons. You can choose your favourite section to read carefully.
Then, you come to the article itself. If you don’t have time to read the whole article, the headline（标题）and photo give you a general idea of the story.
Different kinds of articles
A news article includes body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don’t have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph.
A feature article is an in-depth（深度的）report on an event or person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read.
Another kind of article is an opinion（评论）article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue in a fun way. The opinion article is different from news stories that are all facts.
Be a critical（批判性的）reader
There are advertisements in newspapers. They can provide useful information about products, places, food or jobs. Remember that people make advertisements to sell you things. You don’t have to do everything advertisements tell you to do. You should be critical enough to judge which advertisements are useful and which are not.
50．How can you catch the general idea of an article in a short time
________________________________
51．Where is the most important information in a news article
________________________________
52．How many kinds of articles does the writer talk about in the passage

A．including B．behind C．without D．beyond
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】
句意：中国的许多城市，包括北京，都已深受污浊空气的影响。
考查介词的辨析。“including”包括；“behind”在……的后面；“without”没有；“beyond”超出。根据句意，北京是中国的城市之一，因此是包含关系。故选A。

A．as interesting as B．not as interesting as C．more interesting than D．less interesting than
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】
句意：这本书跟那本书一样有趣。这两本书我都喜欢读。
考查形容词原级。as…as…和……一样，用于肯定句；not as/so…as…不如……怎么样，用于否定句。根据“I enjoy reading both of them”可知，这两本书作者都喜欢，可以推测出前一句是说“这本书和那本书一样有趣。”，这是一个肯定句。故选A。
5．We’ll leave for Shanghai tomorrow. We’ll be back ________ two weeks.
A．in B．after C．at D．on
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】

A．passed B．past C．was passing D．has passed
【标准答案】C
【详解详析】
句意：我看见他时，他穿过门道进了厨房。
考查动词辨析、时态。pass通过，动词；past过去，名词；此处是谓语，填动词，排除B；根据“when I saw him”可知此处表示一个动作发生时另一个动作正在进行，结合“when I saw him”是一般过去时，可知主句是过去进行时。故选C。
7．—Can you come to see me on Monday or Tuesday
—I’m afraid ________ of them is possible.
A．none B．neither C．both D．all
【标准答案】B
【详解详析】
句意：——你能在星期一或星期二来看我吗？——恐怕这两天都不可能。

A．did; receive B．have; received
C．do; receive D．were; receiving
【标准答案】A

11． it is raining hard, the farmers are still working on the farm.
A．Although; but B．Because; but C．Although; / D．Because; so
【标准答案】C
【详解详析】
句意：尽管雨正下得很大，但是农民仍然在农场里工作。
考查连词的辨析。“Although”尽管……但是……；“Because”因为；“but”但是；“so”所以。根据连词的用法，although与but不可在一句话同时出现，because与so不可在一句话同时出现，则排除AD选项。根据主句“ the farmers are still working on the farm.”可知，从句是一个让步状语从句，需用“Although”来引导。故选C。
12． it is!
A．What important information B．How important an information
C．What an important information D．How an important information
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】
句意：多么重要的信息啊！

13．There ________ a lot of changes all over the country in the last 15 years.
A．have B．have had C．have been D．were
【标准答案】C
【详解详析】
句意：在过去的15年里，全国发生了很多变化。
考查时态及there be句型。句子为there be句型，翻译为“有，存在”，have(has, had)表示“有”时不能用于there开头的句型，结合句尾“in the last 15 years”可知本句为现在完成时，其构成是have/has done，所以此处是there have/has been，表示这里有，又因“a lot of changes”是复数，所以用there have been。故选C。
14．—Hi, Bruce. Here is a letter for you.
—Thanks. I wonder .
A．who the letter was from B．who was from the letter
C．who was the letter from D．who from the letter was
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】
句意：——嗨，Bruce，这里有你一封信。——谢谢，我想知道这封信是谁寄来的。
考查宾语从句。由句子结构可知，该空是一个宾语从句，从句中应用陈述语序，主语为the letter，was是动词，排除B、C和D。故选A。
15．— Why didn’t you go to the party last night
— Because I ________.
A．wasn’t invited B．didn’t invite C．haven’t invited D．don’t invite
【标准答案】A
【详解详析】
句意：——昨晚你为什么不去聚会呢？——因为我没有被邀请。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据语境可知，事情发生在过去需用一般过去时，主语“I”是动词“invite”的承受者，构成被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为be+动词的过去分词。本句中，主语是“I”，be的形式为was，否定是在其后加not。“invite”的过去分词为 invited。故选A。
二、短文选词填空(共5分)
Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box. Each can only be used once.（将下列单词填入空格。每空格限填一词，每词只能填一次）：
A．easy B．outside C．knows D．other E. change F. others

So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite _____18_____ to learn something in a language, or a formula in Maths, but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a problem.

A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. Inventors usually get knowledge from books _____20_____ school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their heads.
【标准答案】16．D
17．C
18．A
19．E
20．B
【导语】
短文主要论述学校教育的重要性，但更强调自学的重要性。
16．
句意：他们学习语言，历史，数学和许多其他的科目。根据句子结构及所给词汇可知，此处应用形容词other“其他的”，作定语，修饰subjects。故选D。
17．
句意：无论一个老师知道多少，他都不能教他的学生如何学习。根据主语“a teacher”、“how much”及所给词汇可知，此处应用动词knows“知道”作谓语。故选C。
18．
句意：学习一门语言或数学公式是很容易的……根据句子结构可知，这里考查固定句式“It is +形容词+to do sth..”。再根据所给词汇可知，此处应用easy“容易的”，与下文difficult形成对比。故选A。
19．
句意：……但是他们能极大地改变世界。根据句子结构可知，此处缺少谓语动词。再根据宾语“the world”及所给词汇可知，此处表示change“改变”。故选E。
20．
句意：发明家通常从学校之外的书本里获得知识。根据“Great inventors do not get everything from school...”可知，发明家通常不是从学校获得所有知识，而是从“学校之外”的书本里获得知识。outside“在……之外”。故选B。
三、用所给单词的正确形式填空(共6分)
21．If you come to visit China, you will __________ (experience) an amazing culture.
【标准答案】experience
【详解详析】
句意：如果你来中国参观，你就会体验惊人的文化。此处在will后构成一般将来时的结构will do，可知填动词原形；experience“经历，体验”，是动词，故填experience。
22．Our monitor _________ organizing an outing after the final exam last week. (suggestion)
【标准答案】suggested
【详解详析】
句意：上周我们的班长建议在期末考试后组织一次郊游。所给提示词suggestion是名词“建议”，空格处作谓语，应该用动词形式，且时间是last week，应该用一般过去时。故填suggested。
23．The library building ________________(design) by the young man in 2012.
【标准答案】was designed
【详解详析】
句意：这座图书馆大楼是在2012年由一位年轻人设计的。结合句中时间状语in 2012可知，本句为一般过去时；The library building与design之间为被动关系，故应使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was design。
24．Her brother had a good ________ (choose) about his work in his future.
【标准答案】choice
【详解详析】
句意：她哥哥对他将来的工作有很好的选择。a修饰名词的单数形式，choose对应的名词是choice“选择”，故填choice。
25．Not only her parents but also Jerry _______ (record) changes in birds’ numbers now.
【标准答案】is recording
【详解详析】
句意：不仅是她的父母，杰瑞现在也在记录鸟类数量的变化。根据“now”可知句子时态是现在进行时，其结构为am/is/are+现在分词。not only...but also“不但……而且……”，遵循就近原则，record“记录”，是动词，其主语为Jerry，是第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is recording。
26．I have no ________ (choose) but to continue walking.
【标准答案】choice
【详解详析】
句意：我别无选择，只能继续走下去。短语have no choice but to do sth.“除了做某事没有别的选择”，所给单词choose“选择”，是动词，此处用名词，choice“选择”，是名词，故填choice。
四、句型转换(共12分)
Rewrite the following sentences as required （根据所给要求，改写下列句子, 每空格限填一词）
27．The two young men stole my friend’s purse.（改为否定句）

The flowers are beautiful _________for everyone_________ like.
32．stole, run away, my purse, tried to, the thief, and （连词成句）
__________________________________
【标准答案】27． didn’t steal
28． My playing
29． often does
30． are’t they
31． enough to
32．The thief stole my purse and tried to run away
27．原句是一般过去时的主谓结构的句子，所以变否定句时借助助动词didn’t，谓语动词改为原形，故填didn’t steal。
28．句意：当我有空的时候我经常下棋。
根据句意可知“我”的爱好是下象棋，my我的，动名词作表语，故填My playing 。
29．根据画线部分“almost every day”表示频率，所以用how often“多久一次”提问，特殊疑问句是由特殊疑问词加一般疑问句构成，谓语动词是第三人称单数形式，所以借助does变问句，谓语动词改为原形，故填often does。
30．反义疑问句一般遵循前肯定则后否定，前否定则后肯定的原则，并且疑问部分时态，人称要与前文保持一致。原句为主系表结构的肯定句，主语是复数，所以简略疑问句部分主语用they来代替，用否定形式，故填are’t they。
31．句意：那些花是那么的漂亮以至于大家都喜欢他们。
句式：so+形容词+that +从句“如此的……以至于……”可以和句式：形容词+enough for +sb to do sth进行互换，意思不变，故填enough to。
32．句意：那个小偷偷了我的钱包并且试图逃跑。
and连接并列部分，所以stole 和 tried to 部分并列；tried to run away设法逃跑，主语是the thief，故填The thief stole my purse and tried to run away。

八、阅读回答问题(共10分)
What do you do when you begin to read an English newspaper
You’d better know what sections there are. Usually, there is international news, business, entertainment or lifestyle, sports and cartoons. You can choose your favourite section to read carefully.
Then, you come to the article itself. If you don’t have time to read the whole article, the headline（标题）and photo give you a general idea of the story.
Different kinds of articles
A news article includes body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don’t have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph.
A feature article is an in-depth（深度的）report on an event or person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read.
Another kind of article is an opinion（评论）article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue in a fun way. The opinion article is different from news stories that are all facts.
Be a critical（批判性的）reader
There are advertisements in newspapers. They can provide useful information about products, places, food or jobs. Remember that people make advertisements to sell you things. You don’t have to do everything advertisements tell you to do. You should be critical enough to judge which advertisements are useful and which are not.
