【解析】语篇解读本文是一篇极富哲理的寓言故事。有人看到一个人把冲到海滩的海星捡起扔回到大海而产生质疑:这么多的海星救得过来吗?殊不知这样至少对扔回到大海的海星来说是生的机会。
1. 考查非谓语动词。空前面的动词是see,根据句意应该是“看见某人正在做某事”,故用see sb. doing sth. 结构。
2. 考查固定搭配。与前面的between构成固定搭配’between. . . and. . . 在……与……之间。
3. 考查固定搭配。as a result of由于……。
4. 句子主语为the man,与stick之间是被动关系,所以要用被动语态。
5. 考查非谓语动词。所填词后接up且宾语是starfish,与其后面的throwing并列,据此可知应该是捡起海星然后将它们扔进大海。
6. 考查数词。当thousand前面没有具体数字修饰时其词尾应该加—s,thousands of意为“数以千计的”。
7. 考查非谓语动词。beach与cover之间是被动关系,所以要用被动形式。
8. 考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式,possible的副词应该是possibly。
9. 表示动作在原有基础上重复,意为“再一,又一”。
10. 考查名词。make a difference是固定搭配,意为“有影响”。

【解析】语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了我20年前在约克经历的一段艰难生活。起初,我虽然有工作经验也有硕士学位,但还是找不到满意的工作。一个小女孩给我的一个耳环改变了我的生活。后来,我列了一个自己感到满意的
50件事情的清单,并决定不断添加。最后我找到了一份高薪的工作。我知道正是因为改变了对生活的态度我才改变了自己的生活。
1. 句意:虽然我有很多工作经验且有硕士学位,但是我没能找到一份满意的工作。前后两句为转折关系,故答案为Though/Although/While。
2. 设空处后为名词,根据上下文逻辑关系可判断此处应填冠词。job在本句表示特指,故与定冠词连用。
3. 本空需要副词修饰动词thought,作thought的状语。
4. 句意:当我靠边停车让一个小女孩下车时……。这里用不定式形式作目的状语。
5. 本文讲述的是过去的事情,故用一般过去时,the earring与paint,为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
6. 这里说的是作者自己的生活,故用my。
7. 这里表示:来自一个女士的电话。故答案为from。
8. 根据语境中的asked可推出本空填if或whether。
9. 介词(on)后需要名词形式,故答案为manage—ment。
10. 本句为强调句型,故答案为that。

43. training after 44. where
45. However 46. and

【解析】语篇解读 本文为记叙文。介绍了一个伟大的“母亲”特蕾莎,她为贫困地区的人们不断奉献着自己的爱心,并于1979年获得诺贝尔奖。
41. 考查时态。前面的时间是At that time,同时根据often判断应该用一般过去时,即wrote.
42. 句子的主语为she, leave与句子主语为主动关系,因此用现在分词leaving作时间状语。
43. 为介词,用动名词作介词宾语。
44. 此处用where引导非限制性定语从句,因句中缺少地点状语。
45. 考查副词。前面提到她接受培训去当老师,后面说“尽管她热爱教学,但是在1946年离开了学校”。由此可知前后为转折关系,所以用副词However。
46. 考查连词。设空前后为并列关系,所以用and。
47. 现在分词短语作定语。
48. 考查代词。根据语境可知应该是“有其他人来帮助她”。
49. she与give为被动关系,用被动语态,此处需用过去分词。
50. 考查名词。名词love与该空为并列关系,所以该词也应该用名词形式,即service。

5. ourselves 6. and
7. later sooner or later
8. peaceful 9. start 10. making
【解析】语篇解读 这是一篇关于大学生在毕业之后如何就业的对话。
1. 考查形容词。主语是you,look为系动词,要用tired作表语。
2. 考查代词。根据句子结构,此处用it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。
3. 句子主语college graduates与encourage为被动关系,故用encouraged。
4. 考查名词。名词experience表示“经验”时,是不可数名词;表示“经历”时,是可数名词。根据句意,此处表示“工作经验”,故要用不可数名词。
5. 我们也有可能更加了解我们自己和社会,us的反身代词为ourselves。
6. 考查并列连词。根据句子前后的意思,此处表示并列的关系,所以要用连词and。
7. 迟早,固定搭配。
8. 考查形容词。根据句子的结构来判断,此处要用形容词来修饰名词life,故正确答案为peaceful。
9. prefer to do sth. rather than do sth. 宁愿做某事而不愿做某事。
10. 考查非谓语动词。before是介词,后面要用v. —ing形式。

【题干】[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the
road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council—funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of
their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of_____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been
banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.
1. What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Para—graph l (no more than 12 words)
___________________________________________________________
2. What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects (no more than 14 words)
___________________________________________________________
3. Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________
4. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4. (no more than 8 words)
5. Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5 (no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】1. The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions.
2. They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
3. Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
4. encouraging people to use public transport more/encouraging people to use their cars less/relieving the problem ( of overcrowding)
5. Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory.
【解析】语篇解读 由于汽车价格的降低和路况的改善,越来越多的人开始购买汽车和开车上路,于是就造成了市中心的交通拥挤现象。为此很多地方政府采取了一些有针对性的措施来解决这一问题。
1. 根据第一段第一句话中的the cost of a new car has fallen及and better road conditions可知答案。
2. 根据第二段的描述:. . . by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. 可知答案。
3. 根据第三段的最后一句话可知开车路过的司机少了,于是这些路边店主的收入就下降了。这样他们就不高兴了。
4. 注意空格前是介词of,后跟v. —ing形式作宾语。后面提出提高开车上路的税收和对乱停放车辆司机的处罚,这些都是鼓励人们少开私家车而改为乘坐公交车以便缓解交通拥挤。
5. 最后一段列举了公共交通的几个缺点和劣势,人们认为只有公共交通真的准时了,公共交通才会成为人们出行的选择。所以人们觉得公共交通不可靠。
【题干】The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print—out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self—health—checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly,“ I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes. ”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X—ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “ Did your local doctor do an X—ray ”I asked. “ Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “ I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted,
so I knew that’s what I had. ”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight. loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X—ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核) —something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20,and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited7

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and of—ten stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
