【题干】The lecture, _________ at 7:00 pm last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.
starting B.being started
C.to start D.to be started
【答案】A
【解析】考查非谓语动词作定语。句意:讲座昨晚7点开始, 接下来的是用望远镜观测月球。被修饰词the lecture与start(不及物动词)为逻辑上的主动关系, 现在分词短语starting at 7:00 pm last night相当于一个非限制性定语从句which started at 7:00 pm last night。to start表示将来的动作, 与语境不符。如果将start用作及物动词, 那么start与the lecture为被动关系, 需用过去分词, 而四个选项中并没有过去分词形式。

C.ruined D.broke

41.考查名词。空前是介词in, 故填人appear的名词形式appearance。in appearance“在外表上, 在外观上”。
42.考查动词语态。这些字都选自语文课本和诗歌。此句为被动语态, 故用其过去分词形式。
43.考查副词。此空修饰动词crafted, 故用其副词形式。

45.考查副词。后面使用了虚拟语气, 故用otherwise。
46.考查动词时态。根据时间状语for a long time可知, 本句用现在完成时态。
47.考查动词时态。根据上下文语境, 此空应用一般过去时态, 故填其过去式。
48.考查非谓语动词。使役动词make后应用省略to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。
49.考查连词。前后两分句为并列关系.故填人并列连词and。
50.考查介词。固定搭配bring...to...表示“把……带给……”。误解分析:考生会误填人介词in或of.根据前文, 他的作品中融人了这种特殊的元素, 再结合bring的用法, 可得出答案。

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes (圣女果)in our back garden.Since then-for all these year-we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please.As result, the plants are growing somewhere.The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste.There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors.Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems.We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

第三句:在result前加a
第三句:somewhere→everywhere
第四句:taste→tasty

5.as a result结果, 为固定短语。
6.根据句意可知是“到处都有”, 所以用everywhere。
7.本句中small, juicy和tasty是并列的表语, 所以要用形容词。
8.根据前面的be动词are和后面的them可知应是代替可数名词复数的many。
9.引导让步状语从句的although不能和连词but连用, 但是可以和副词yet连用。所以可以删掉but, 也可以把but改为yet。
10.修饰名词时应用形容词。

So it was with really great 5 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 6 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt, 7 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn’t 8 lessons.He could have gone on regretting it, 9 too many of us do.But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn’t 10 there.When he retired three years ago, he 11 his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he 12 stared down at his fingers.Has he forgotten the 13 I worried, remembering those split seconds 14 ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would 15.But then came the beautiful melody(旋律), from the 16 fingers that once baited(装饵于)my fishing lines.And I 17 he had been doing what music teachers always stress: 18 the music and pretend the others aren’t there.
"I’m 19 of him for starting something new at his age, " I said to my son Jeff.

【题干】 A
An 88-year-old man in Wuhan, Hubei province, fell on the ground, and getting no immediate help from passers-by died one and a half hours after being taken to hospital.Frequent incidents of kindhearted people being caught in trouble after helping others have had a negative impact on the public and prompted it to be indifferent, says an article in Beijing News.
That a simple incident has drawn so much attention shows that the moral understanding of society is not as low as some people take it to be.But there is still a mismatch between moral cognition (认识)and daily practices of the people.This can be attributed to two factors: whether authorities carry out the law impartially(公平)and whether citizens are fully aware of their social responsibility.
What could be worse than " an old woman repaying a stranger’s kindness with ingratitude(忘恩负义)" is the failure of authorities to distinguish between right and wrong.Many people have mistaken some judicial sentences to mean that doing a good deed could invite trouble and sometimes even punishment, and hence shy away from helping others in need.
On the other hand, social trust has been rather fragile as the Peng Yu case(彭宇案件)showed.It was closely related to citizens’ lack of social awareness.Lack of social trust and obligation will make people self-centered.Though the foundation of social trust is quite fragile, we should be optimistic because people have not stepped forward to help others only in some extreme cases.
The lack of social trust, however, has raised several questions that deserve our attention, and it will make a world of difference if the authorities and the public help each other to become more socially involved.
1.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Society’s moral values are low.
B.The public is indifferent to those in trouble.
C.Doing a good deed could invite trouble.
D.There is still a misunderstanding between moral cognition and daily practices of the people.
2.Which of the following statements is not true according to the text
A.Recently, some kind-hearted people have been caught in trouble after helping others.
B.Citizens’ lack of social awareness leads to the fragile social trust.
C.There are two factors leading to the mismatch mentioned in the text.
D.In most cases people are willing to help others.
3.What does the underlined word "shy" in the third paragraph mean
A.being timid B.being short
C.hold back D.being nervous
4.What will make people self-centered according to the passage
A.Lack of social trust and obligation.
B.The foundation of social trust.
C.Citizens’ social awareness.
D.Moral cognition.
5.Where can you find the article
A.In a science report.
B.In a fashion magazine.
C.In a storybook.
D.In a newspaper.

【解析】◎语篇解读一位湖北武汉的88岁老人摔倒后没有得到及时的帮助导致死亡, 引起人们的反思。是立法的不完善还是社会责任感的缺失?本文进行了阐述。

3.词义猜测题。根据上下文可知应翻译成“退缩;不敢做……”。
4.由文中第四段Lack of social trust and obligation will make people self-centered可知A项正确。
5.推理判断题。这是一篇介绍社会价值观的新闻报道, 故应选D项。

It wasn’t until later that evening that I noticed a "mailbox" fastened onto the door to each of our bedrooms.There was one for Edward, one for Tom.She hadn’t forgotten Peter and baby Paul.

“He can’t read yet, ” she said, “but he can look at the pictures.”
This same little girl is growing now, driving off every day to college.But something about her has never changed.One afternoon only a week or so ago, I found a love note next to my pillow.
"Thanks for always being there for me, Mum, " it read, "I’m glad that we are best friends."

Anyone who experienced wet weather this summer will not be surprised to learn that this was the fourth year running that the UK suffered from a wet summer, which has never happened before in modem rainfall records dating back t0 1914.
This summer was only slightly wetter than usual, though-the UK had 248.5mm summer rainfall, 10 percent above average, according to Met Office figures.
The rainfall average over the whole country showed an interesting weather picture, though.The rain tended to come down in big showers, setting off flash floods.As a result, East Anglia in eastern UK had its third wettest August with more than double the normal rainfall, and the southeast had one of its dullest Augusts, with only two thirds of its usual sunshine.And yet both these areas had been dry and sunny for the previous five months and seemed to be heading for long-lasting drought (干旱).
Western and northwestern areas had the complete opposite, though-extremely wet in July, followed by a dry August.Remarkably, the northwest had suffered from such long-lasting drought that it led to bans on using hosepipes (橡皮软管).
Although some weather companies predicted an extremely hot barbecue summer, it was only 0.6℃ above average across the UK.Even so, for the first half of this summer Glastonbury enjoyed a mud-free festival and Wimbledon remained hot and dry.It may not have broken any temperature records, but there were plenty of barbecues this summer.
13.There was a lot of rainfall this August in________.
A.East Anglia B.western UK
C.northwestern UK D.Wimbledon
14.What made the southeast seem to have long-lasting drought
A.The small amount of sunshine in August.
B.The wettest August of the third year running.
C.The extremely hot weather with too much rainfall.
D.The continuous five months of dry and sunny weather.
15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage
A.People in Glastonbury celebrated a mud festival freely.
B.Some weather companies did not give an accurate forecast.
C.The temperature this summer was much higher than average.
D.The extremely hot weather this summer led to fewer barbecues.
【答案】13.A 14.D 15.B
【解析】◎语篇解读英国连续四年夏季多雨, 但是各个地区的天气也不一样, 让我们去看看不同地区的夏天都是什么天气吧!
13.细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第二、三句可知, East Anglia在这个夏季雨量很大, 故答案为A。
14.细节理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句可知, 连续五个月的干燥和艳阳高照的天气使东南部看起来要持续很长一段时间的干旱, 故答案为D。
15.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第一句可知, 气象公司预测这个夏天会非常热, 但实际上比平均温度只高了0.6℃, 故答案为B。

Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, gained worldwide honor for her dedication to easing human suffering and earned the nickname " Angel of the Battlefield."
Barton was born into a liberal freethinking family in 1821.Her elder brothers and sisters happily tutored her in math and reading, so when she entered school at three years old, she could read and spell three-syllable words.16
Concerned about Barton’s difficulty in making friends, her parents sent her to a boarding school, hoping it would make her more comfortable with her peers.17 Barton lost her appetite and cried constantly.After only one term, she had to be brought home.Then, Barton stayed out of school to nurse her older brother through a serious injury and also volunteered to care for poor families during a smallpox(天花)outbreak.
In 1861, the Civil War broke out.The sight of wounded soldiers touched Barton deeply.She began to collect and distribute food, bandages, medicine, and other supplies for the Union Army.18 There, with little concern for her own safety, she cooked meals, assisted surgeons, and comforted wounded soldiers.
Eventually, because of working too hard, Barton collapsed, ill with typhoid fever.19 It was there that she learned of an organization based in Switzerland-called the International Red Cross, whose work.mirrored her own.
Shortly after Barton arrived back home in 1873, her sister died.20 When recuperating(休养)at a health facility in New York, she began planning for the establishment of an American wing of the International Red Cross.Although at first the government resisted, her efforts finally paid off.The American Red Cross was officially organized on May 21 , 1881.Her influence lives on today in the work of the organization she founded.
A.Barton fell into a deep depression.
B.Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect.
C.Many people felt sorry for the loss of her sister and her own health.
D.Barton risked her life to transport wagonloads of supplies to the front lines.
E.When she recovered, her doctors prescribed a long, restful trip to Europe.
F.Barton spent the following several months learning basics about Swiss Cross.
G.She easily kept up with the older children academically but did not fit in socially.

【解析】◎语篇解读本文为记叙文.主要介绍了美国红十字会的发起人Clara Barton。

17.根据空格前句意可知Barton的父母本来希望她在寄宿学校能够与同伴更好地沟通, 空格后一句则提到“Barton lost her appetite and cried constantly”, 由此可知她到寄宿学校之后效果更糟, 故选择B项。
18.空格前一句中的“collect and distribute food, bandages, medicine.and other supplies for the Union Army”与D项中的“transport wagonloads of supplies”对应, 而空格后的“There”与D项中的“the front lines”相对应, 故选择D项。
19.空格前的“ill with typhoid fever”与E项中的“When she recovered”对应, 空格后一句的强调句“It was there that she learned of an organization based in Switzerland”与E项中的Europe对应, 故选择E项。
20.根据空格前句意可知Barton的姐姐去世了, 可知Barton fell into a deep depression, 故此题选择A项。

【范文】Hi, TigerMom.What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China.My idea is that it is not quite right for you to do so.Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future university admission, development in wisdom, emotion, health, and life attitude should never be ignored.There are many examples around us.
Some all-A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they were expected.The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities.Furthermore, punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically
So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice.More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl; let her have more friends and social activities; and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do.

①50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high schools.②In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge.③With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand.④However, ①43% of them②insist that they should be separated so that students can⑤concentrate on some subjects and become experts.④Besides, they will not be ⑥overburdened as before.

【范文】Dear editor,
I’m a student in Senior Two.We have made a survey—"Who do you turn to when in trouble " Here are the results.
About 58% of the students will go to their friends or classmates when in trouble.They’re almost of the same age so they can talk with and understand each other easily.30% of the students will tell their teachers or parents about their troubles and ask for their help as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much.They can be trusted by these students.Only 12% of the students solve their problems all by themselves.They hate to talk with others and can’t get on well with others.They have few friends.
In my opinion, when in trouble we’d better ask our teachers, parents, friends or classmates for help.Different people have different experiences.And they are likely to help you out of your troubles.Then you can remove some of your difficulties and feel relaxed.
Thank you.Best wishes!
Yours,
Jack
