Michael loves scuba-diving．By 9, he was an extraordinary swimmer and a good listener in the pool．
Michael’s first dive, 41 , was truly unforgettable．Instead of using a boat, the plan was to go down a ladder at the boat and drop into about 15 feet of water．Everything went 42 (perfect)．His instructor Polly led him to the nearby reef．While 43 (explore)the reef in 27 feet of water, Michael suddenly signaled a problem with his mask．Polly signaled back for him to clear it．He cleared it 44 then later signaled the problem again．His mask was completely flooded with water．Michael made a sign 45 he wanted to go up．Polly signaled, "No! Stay with me!"
According to Polly, even though scuba 46 (train)teaches new divers how to deal with flooded masks, many beginners panic the first time water fills their masks during an actual dive．Michael wasn’t like many beginners, though．He didn’t panic．He did 47 (exact)what he learned to do during his years．He stayed calm, 48 (think)it through, and followed Polly’s 49 (instruct)．Polly gradually led Michael to shallower water in an area．The group swam together back to the shore for a celebration of Michael’s 50 (amaze)accomplishment．
____________ 42．____________ 43．____________ 44．____________ 45．____________46．____________ 47．____________ 48．____________ 49．____________ 50．____________
【答案】41．however 42．perfectly
43．exploring44．but45．that46．training
47．exactly48．thought49．instructions
50．amazing
【解析】◎语篇解读Michael是一名潜水员。最值得一提的就是他第一次潜水的时候交通意外, 其他人可能已经惊慌失措, 可是他却与众不同。
41．考查上下文语境。根据第一段中的he was an extraordinary swimmer可知他是一名非常优秀的潜水员, 但是他的第一次潜水却永生难忘, 这里是转折关系, 而且本空缺少的是副词, 能这样使用的是however。
42．考查词性转换。本空缺少的是副词, 修饰谓语动词go, g0在本句中意为“进展”。
43．考查状语从句的省略。当主句和从句的主语一致, 而且从句中含有系动词的时候, 从句中的主语和系动词可以省略。从句中explore的逻辑主语是Michael, 动作是主动发出的, 所以用exploring。
44．考查连词。前后是转折关系, 这里需要一个表示转折关系的并列连词。
45．考查同位语从句。句中的he wanted to go up解释名词sign, 所以这是一个同位语从句。
46．考查动名词。这里指的是Michael接受的要成为一名潜水员所必需的训练, 所以用动名词training作主语。
47．考查词性转换。这里用exactly修饰动词do。
48．考查动词的时态。本句中含有三个连续的表示过去的动作, 所以应该使用一般过去时。
49．考查词性转换。本空需要一个名词与follow搭配, 而instruction意为“指示”时是一个可数名词。
50．考查词性转换。根据句中的accomplishment可知, Michael临危不惧, 取得了令人惊羡的成就, 所以这里用amazing。

My dream school starts at 8:30 a．m．and ends at 3:30 p．m．They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon．We didn’t need to do so many homework．Therefore, we have more time with after-school activities．For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sports for one hour every day．
My dream school look like a big garden．There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings．We can lie on the grass for a rest, or sat by the lake listening music．The teachers here are kind and helpfully．They are not only our teachers but also our friends．
【答案】第二句：They→There
第三句：didn’t→don’t
第三句：many→much homework
第四句：with→for
第五句：第一个hour→hours
第六句：look→looks
第七句：删掉第一个the
第八句：sat→sit
第八句：listening后加to
第九句：helpfully→helpful
【解析】1．表示”上午有三节课, 下午有两节课”应使用there be句型。
2．全文时态是以一般现在时为主, 故应将didn’t改为don’t。
3．是不可数名词, 故应用much修饰。
4．表示时间、金钱、空间等足够／足以(用于……)时, 应使用介词for。
5．“一个半小时”要说one and a half hours。
6．主语My dream school(我梦想中的学校)是单数, 其谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式。
7．all kinds of(各种各样的)后直接加可数名词复数或不可数名词, 不用再加冠词。
8．We can lie．．．, or(can)sit．．．
9．listen是不及物动词, 接宾语时要加介词to。
10．and连接两个形容词作表语, 故应将副词helpfully改为形容词helpful。

22．calm冷静的, 镇静的, 多形容人的情绪、情感；silent意为沉默不语的, 排除A、C。crowded意为拥挤的, 与上文most people had gone to bed不相符。故答案为D。
23．A、C都不符合句意, discuss为及物动词, 后直接接宾语, 故只有B为正确答案。

40．drop in on sb．意为顺便拜访某人, 故选D。

Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere．This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start．It’s raining and the tent leaks．The hiking seems to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this When we get home-if we ever get home-he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side．Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree(狂购)at the mall!
Tuesday: Things were looking up．The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out．We camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog．The mountains were all around us, and the forest was absolutely beautiful．We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting them where the sun could dry them out．Later in the afternoon we tried to catch some fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were．At night we built a fire and sang songs happily．
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak．From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us．On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake．After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked " fishy"．She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack．l asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try．Carol caught a few more．But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream．
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already．It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful．We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river．It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins．

Nowadays a growing number of grass roots entertainers are stepping into the public eyes．Although a sudden success provides quick fame, experts say not all the rising stars will have a promising future．
The grass roots band Xu Ri Yang Gang, meaning the rising sun in Chinese, suddenly became popular after uploading a ‘video of them singing "In the Spring"．Actually, they have never stopped struggling to realize their media events in China, like the CCTV Spring Festival Gala．
However, just as many people thought they were about to go further, the original singer of the song "In the Spring" stepped in to prevent the band from performing his song．
Different from Xu Ri Yang Gang, China’s rising star Liu Wei is considered to have more professional skills, enabling him to enjoy a long-lasting popularity．The armless pianist who plays the music of the song " Hope" with his toes has won the champion of the television talent show China’s Got Talent．
Now he has signed with Fremantle Media and Sony Music, and is kept busy every day．He believes it is his determination that makes him a hit．
Another fairy story is the case of the rising star Susan Boyle．She came to international public attention after appearing as a candidate on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables．Her first album became the biggest selling album in the world in 2009, selling 9 million copies．
As for Chinese grass roots stars, experts say besides big dreams, they need more original compositions to achieve big results．
4．What can be the best title for the text
A．Rising grass roots stars
B．Comparison of grass roots stars
C．Ways of grass roots getting famous
D．Differences among grass roots stars’ lives
5．From the text we know that Xu Ri Yang Gang got popular through
A．CCTV B．newspaper
C．contest D．the Internet
6．The underlined words "a hit" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean“___________”．
A．a strike B．a success
C．an achievement D．an influence
7．It can be inferred from the text that_______．
A．grass roots stars can’t have a promising future at all

C．grass roots stars need to focus more on their original works
D．talent show is the only way for grass roots stars to become popular

【解析】◎语篇解读旭日阳刚、无臂钢琴师刘伟、英国达人苏珊大妈……一个个璀璨的草根明星脱颖而出, 声名鹊起, 令人瞩目, 他们的未来又将如何？
4．主旨大意题。第一段是文章的中心段, 根据本段内容可知, 本文的最佳标题是“Rising grass roots stars”。
5．推理判断题。第二段第一句的后半部分提到旭日阳刚组合是上传了他们演唱的《春天里》的视频后爆红的, 由此可知他们是通过“因特网”成名的。
6．词义猜测题。无臂钢琴师刘伟在《中国达人秀》中获得了冠军, 并与Fremantle Media和Sony Music签约。据此可知, “a hit”在此意为“成功”。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知, 草根明星需要将更多的精力集中在他们的原创作品上。
【题干】 C
Top lists are lecturing people on everything from" 100 places to visit" to" 100 books to read"．Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101
things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities．However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water．Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．
Here’s a little secret．Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths．
Go to See the Mona Lisa
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile．The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all．But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything．In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons．After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most．
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing．

【题干】 D
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower．But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the tops of the world’s 14 highest mountains．
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snowcapped Himalayas．At 26, 545 feet, its peak is the10th highest in the world．It was the mountain that inspired him to start climbing．
“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, ” said Viesturs．"There’s no simple way to climb it．There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain．"
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna．Herzog’s story was of frostbite(冻伤)and difficulty and near-death experiences．Viesturs was hooked right away．
Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer．Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peak．Finally, he had done．
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect．" You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it, " said Viesturs．"If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down．"
What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing "I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer, " says Viesturs．But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure．
12．What record has Ed Viesturs set
A．He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain．
B．He has been to the tops of the world’s 14 highest mountains．
C．He has become the first to climb to the height of 26, 545 feet．
D．He has become the first man to climb to the tops of 14 highest mountains in the world．
13．The underlined word "hooked" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by“______________”．
A．frightened B．discouraged
C．interested D．upset
14．The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that_________．
A．mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B．mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C．mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D．those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing
15．What’s probably the next plan of Viestures
A．Stopping climbing and staying with his family．
B．Climbing to the tops of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again．
C．Climbing another one of the highest mountains．
D．Writing down the experiences about his adventure．
【答案】12．B 13．C 14．B 15．C
【解析】◎语篇解读 这是一篇人物类短文。本文介绍了登山之王Viesturs的登山成就。他是唯一一个已经成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美国人。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句话“But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the tops of the world’s 14 highest mountains．”可知, Viesturs是唯一一个已经成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美国人。
13．词义猜测题。根据上文介绍的Viesturs的登山成就推测．hooked意为“感兴趣的”。如果是“被吓倒、泄气或不安”, 就不可能取得那么辉煌的成就, 显然, 这几项不符文意。
14．主旨大意题。此段首句“The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect．”就是本段的主题, 下文Viesturs说的话是用来说明这一主题的。
15．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure”可得答案。
【题干】根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
During the first half of the nineteenth century in the United States, Christmas was a more different kind of holiday than it is today．There was no set of way of celebrating the day, which was not yet an official holiday．16 Some observed Christmas as an important Christian religious day honoring the birth of Jesus．Others celebrated the day with parties, music, drinking and eating．17
Religion played a big role in how an American might celebrate the holiday．Calvinist Christians banned the celebration of Christmas．But groups such as Episcopalians and Moravians honored the day with religious services and seasonal decorations．By mid-century, Christian groups began to ignore their religious differences over the meaning of Christmas and honored the day in special ways．
18 More and more Christians Americans also began to follow the European traditions of Christmas trees and giving gifts．Christians believed that the tree represented Jesus and was also a sign of new beginnings．German immigrants brought their tradition of putting lights, sweets and toys on the branches of evergreen trees placed in their homes．
This tradition of setting up a Christmas tree soon spread to many American homes．19 As these traditions increased in popularity, the modem trade and business linked to Christmas also yew．
As Christmas became more popular, some states declared the day a state holiday．Louisiana was the first state to make the move in 1837．20 It was not until 1870 that President Ulysses Grant made Christmas a federal holiday．
A．So did the practice of giving people presents．
B．By 1860, fourteen other states had followed．
C．And, some communities did not celebrate the day at all．
D．Americans seldom gave each other presents on Christmas Day．
E．But many new American Christmas songs started to become popular．
F．Christmas became an important time for families to celebrate at home．
G．Communities around the country honored the day in different ways．
【答案】16．G 17．C 18．F 19．A 20．B
【解析】◎语篇解读文章介绍了圣诞节的逐渐普及和发展的过程。
16．G项的honored the day in different ways和上一句的no set of way of celebrating the day呼应。说明庆祝圣诞节的方式大相径庭。
17．C项的Some communities和上一句的Some对应, 说明这里说的是人们选择的庆祝圣诞节的方式的异同, 甚至有的地方根本就没有庆祝活动。
18．上一段说到了人们开始忽略宗教差别而庆祝这个节日。for families to celebrate at home是庆祝的最常见的方式, 本题可以结合生活实际, 也可以从本段的第二句到句尾陈述的事实看出, 庆祝活动最初是以家庭为单位的, 也和第四段第一句的spread to many American homes吻合。
19．本段说到了该节日的发展, 从有圣诞树到礼物的赠送, 这都是顺理成章的发展。本段的前两句说到的方式都属于第三句的these traditions的一部分。D项所说的情况正好和现在已经形成的圣诞节的庆祝方式大相径庭, 所以不能选。
20．本段第一句的some states declared the day a state holiday说明不是所有的州都选择庆祝圣诞节。本段最后一句说到直到1870年才被各州接受为普遍庆祝的节日, 而本句就是一个过渡。
