A．the; / B．the; the
C．a; the D．/; the
答案：B 考查冠词。第一空考查“the＋adj.”表示一类人；第二空本来出现可数名词的复数直接表示类别种类来泛指，但由于后面有of结构来作后置定语，所以在fruits前要加上the，表示社会发展的特定的成果。
2．His________to become a pilot was held back by his poor eyesight.
A．destination B．inspiration
C．ambition D．promotion
答案：C 考查名词。句意：由于视力不好，他想成为飞行员的追求无法实现了。ambition“雄心，追求”；destination“目的地”；inspiration“灵感”；promotion“促进，增进”。
3．Nowadays teenagers like to go to the fast-food restaurant，________，as the name says, eating needn't take much time.
A．which B．however

答案：D 考查定语从句。这是一个分隔式定语从句，主句和从句之间有插入语“as the name says”，从句中的主语是eating，先行词是表示地点的the fast-food restaurant。
4．Many people in Haiti died from the earthquake because they didn't have______to immediate rescue.
A．access B．admission
C．approach D．attention
答案：A 考查短语。have access to“可以接近，可以利用”。句意：海地地震中有很多人丧生，因为他们没有得到及时的救援。
5．—Can we borrow books from the library when it is completed?

6．I was________with my son about his carelessness, which_____ ___the main cause of his failure in maths.
A．annoyed; were B．amazed; was
C．amazing; were D．annoyed; was
答案：D 考查主谓一致和形容词。第一空amazed修饰人，amazing修饰物；第二空which指代carelessness，因此用单数。
7．Every time after a long________from school, I feel really stupid because I am a bit behind the others.
A．load B．range
C．journey D．absence
答案：D 句意：每次长期缺课后，我都会感到很愚蠢，因为我比别人又落后了。absence“缺席，不在”。
8．With a lot of homework________，I can't go to the cinema with you after school.
A．done B．doing
C．having done D．to do
答案：D 考查with复合结构。句意：由于有很多作业要做，放学后，我不能和你一起去看电影了。由句意可知，作业还没有做，所以选择不定式表将来。
9．—What' s the matter with Marsa?
—Well, her parents wouldn't allow her to go to the party, but she still________.
A．hopes to B．hopes so
C．hopes not D．hopes for
答案：A 考查不定式的省略。to后省略了go to the party。
10．—I really thought that I would win the match.
—Oh, well，________， Henry.
A．congratulations B．better luck next time
C．best wishes D．take your time
答案：B 考查交际用语。第一句的意思是：我真的以为我会赢的。暗含没有赢之意，所以答语“下次好运”符合情景。
11．While Mr. Yang was examining the composition his son had finished________the possible spelling mistakes in it; the mistakes he got used to________him a lot.
A．to correct; annoying B．correcting; annoyed
C．to correct; annoyed D．correcting; annoying
答案：C 这是一道典型的陷阱题。第一空中his son had finished是the composition的定语，可以不予考虑，意为“他儿子写完的作文”，第一空就该用不定式表示目的，“检查是为了改正可能出现的拼写错误，”，在第二空中出题老师又设置了一个陷阱，he used to其实又是后置定语，中间省略了that，所以整个句子缺少谓语动词，只能选择过去式annoyed。
12．He is never absent________school________.
A．from; despite of his serious illness
B．of; though seriously ill
C．from; despite his serious illness
D．of; except when he is ill
答案：C be absent from“缺席，不在”。句意：即使生了重病，他也从没有缺过课。despite是介词，后面不能再用其他介词，相当于in spite of。
13．During the speech, he showed his________by smiling.
A．approach B．application
C．access D．approval
答案：D approval“赞成”。句意：演讲期间，他用微笑表示赞成。approach“接近，靠近”；application“申请，申请书”；access“接近，进入”。
14．I hope I will not be called on in class as I'm not yet_____ _prepared.
A．attentively B．readily
C．actively D．adequately
答案：D adequately“充分地”。由前半句可以看出，这里要表达的意思是“没有做好充分的准备”，故选D。本题容易误选B，其实readily意为“乐意地，容易地”，不要受到ready的影响。
15．When they moved to Canada, the children________the surroundings very well.
A．adapted to B．adopted to
C．used to D．attempted to
答案：A 句意：当他们搬家到加拿大时，孩子们对环境适应很快。adapt to表示“适应……”，符合句意要求。

Ⅴ.书面表达

?51% 的网民认为合理，因为乘车时主动为老、弱、病、残、孕等乘客让座是我们国家的传统美德，需要大家发扬。

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[思路点拨]
本文是一篇提纲式作文。介绍调查的结果和自己对此事评价。所以本文宜分为三段来写。第一段赞成；第二段反对意见；第三段发表个人看法。
[范文借鉴]
Beijing_named_the_22nd_of_every_month_as“Seat-giving_Day”to_encourage_passengers_on_public_transport_to_give_seats_to_those_in_great_need,_and_those_commuters_who_refuse_to_do_so_will_get_criticized._This_activity_arouses_different_opinions_among_netizens.
51% of netizens are for the activity. They think, for one thing, it is one of the China's traditional virtues to offer seats to the aged, pregnant women, children and the disabled. For another thing, more passengers' offering seats can leave a good impression on visitors both home and abroad.
49% of netizens, however, object to the activity. In their opinion, giving seats is a matter of willingness, and passengers should not be forced to do so. Moreover, if some passengers get criticized only because of their refusal to offer seats, fewer commuters will approve the activity.
As far as I'm concerned, this activity is surely of great help to set a better image of Beijing. Through such activity, Beijing will see an increasing number of people willing to do so and an improvement of people's behavior.
[亮点回放]
1．正文第二段的however，转移了话题，引出下文，起到了提纲挈领作用。
2．第二段使用for one thing...For another thing层次分明。
3．结尾用as far as I'm concerned，提出自己建议，过渡自然。

C．Of course. D．Why not?
答案：B 考查交际英语。由答语“I just think he's a bit annoying. That's all.”可知，选not exactly，意为“不尽然”。再如：“Not exactly, Fred，”replied the imperturbable Richard, continuing to write with a business-like air.“不完全是那么回事，福来德，”沉住气的理查德边说边一本正经地继续写着。

A．Warned; accompanied

7．It is a(n)________idea to keep a machine running all the time without any power supply.
A．reasonable B．absurd
C．proper D．exact
答案：B absurd“荒谬的，可笑的”。句意：让一台机器在没有电的情况下一直保持运转是一个很可笑的想法。reasonable“合理的，有道理的”；proper“适当的，合适的”；exact“精确的”。

10．The hotel was________. To begin with, our room was far too small. Then we found that the shower didn't work.

Ⅳ.阅读理解

They can run all day. They never complain and if they demand a pay rise you can just remove their batteries：many premiership managers must dream of having a robotic (机器人的)football player.
In fact, robotics researchers believe that by 2050 a robotic football team will take to the field that will be able to defeat the current human world champions.
It's an ambitious goal which sounds more like science fiction than reality—but the plan to develop the robotic equivalent of Brazil is already well on its way.
This week, teams of robots from all over the world are taking part in Robocup 2007—the robotic football World Cup.
This year the event is taking place at Georgia Tech University in the US for the biggest ever demonstration of robotic footballing prowess.
While they might not have the guile or pace of Wayne Rooney just yet, scorelines that stretched into double figures proves that these robo-soccer stars certainly have a grasp of the game's fundamentals.
The groups ranged from the “Humanoid League” right through to robots so small they can only be seen with a microscope in the inaugural “Nano-Cup”．
For robots to play football, various technologies have been developed including artificial intelligence so the robots know who to pass to and how best to defeat an opponent as well as sophisticated robotics and sensors. After the fun and games of the Robocup is over, the technologies developed for scoring winning goals is then transferred to a number of other more useful applications such as developing robots that can be used in search and rescue in large scale disaster.

(2010·福建省龙岩市高中毕业班第一次质检)
Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A & M's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts. Funkhouser says, “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school.” Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes. His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It's “molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge，” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students' knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rarcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They're also paid $600 for their work—another way this program differs from others, which often charges a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.
文章大意：为了培养未来的科学爱好者，the High School Research Program启动了。
6．The research program is chiefly designed for________.
A．high school advisers from Houston
B．college students majoring in agriculture
C．high school students from different places
D．researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
答案：C 细节理解题。由第一段“fourteen high school students”可知，这项活动是针对高中生的。
7．It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas________.
A．found the program useful to their future
B．could often take part in the program
C．had little chance to go to college
D．showed much interest in their high school experiments
答案：A 推理判断题。由第三段最后“...this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.”可推知。
8．When the program was over, the students________.
A．entered that college
B．wrote research reports
C．paid for their research
D．found ways to make money
答案：B 细节理解题。由第五段第一句话可知，学生们要写调查报告。
9．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Program for Agricultural Science Students
B．A Program for Animal Science Students
C．A Program for Medical Science Lovers
D．A Program for Future Science Lovers
答案：D 主旨大意题。由文章大意可知。D项具体简洁。

答案：C 考查动词。句意：“最近几年我的家乡发展很快。”“是的。昨天来时我几乎认不出来了。”witness“见证，目睹”。再如：The year 1849 witnessed a great war in Hungary. 一八四九年匈牙利发生了一场大战。注意：该题也可填seen。
2．Though________to go to bed many times, the little boy just turned a deaf ear and fixed his eyes on the cartoons.
A．urging B．being urged
C．urged D．having urged
答案：C 考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然多次被催着上床睡觉，但是这个小男孩根本不听，两眼依然在看动画片。though后省略了the little boy was，所以用urged。
3．Having been strongly attacked by our soldiers，the enemy__ ______in disorder.

A．before; where B．before; which
C．since; when D．since; where
答案：D 考查句式。句意：虽然最后一次见面到现在已经30年了，但是我依然记得我们在一个雨天分手的场景。第一空it is...since...从句“自……以来已经……时间了”；第二空是定语从句，we got separated on a rainy day是从句部分，而先行词是表示抽象地点概念的scene，因此用where。
8．The public________of the environmental problem will make the government take it seriously.
A．awareness B．revolution
C．existence D．evidence
答案：A 考查名词。句意：公众对环境问题的了解能促使政府认真对待这一问题。awareness“认识，了解”。

—It's true. I can't agree________.
A．whatever；more B．no matter what; more

Dear_Eric，
How's_everything_going?_I'm_having_an_enjoyable_time_in_Beijing_now_and_I_would_like_to_share_with_you_my_experiences_of_watching_the_Olympic_Games. Yesterday, I, along with my friends went to the Water Cube to cheer for the American athletes in the diving competition. I waved the flag with efforts and took lots of photos of the wonderful moment. While watching them receiving the gold medal, I acclaimed excitedly without noticing my camera drop to the ground. On my way back to the hotel, I realized my camera was gone, so I immediately rushed to the Lost and Found in the Water Cube to try my luck. Fortunately, I found my camera, which was returned by a volunteer. I thanked the volunteer and offered him some cash in return. To my surprise, he turned me down, saying that it was his duty to do so.
I was moved by their hospitality and sincerity. I felt grateful for their help.
Yours，
Tom

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Robinson Diaz lives in a small cottage high in the Andes Mountains of South America. Diaz is a“cable racer”， and every morning he faces the difficult task of taking the local teacher to her school. To do this, he first walks for an hour up to a place the locals call Los Pinos, right at the edge of the 400-foot deep gorge(峡谷)of the Negro valley. Here, one end of a thick metal cable has been fixed to a wooden post. The cable stretches right across the deep valley to the other side, a kilometer away.
A metal hook is fixed to the cable, with leather straps hanging from it. Diaz fastens the straps around his shoulders and waist, does a quick safety check and then, without hesitating, throws himself off the edge of the mountain. Attached to the cable by only the metal hook, he rapidly picks up speed and soon he is racing through the air. Crossing the valley by wire takes him 30 seconds, instead of the two hours it would take him to walk down through the rain forest and climb up the steep muddy slopes on the other side.
As Diaz begins his trip, Diana Rios, a 23-year-old elementary teacher, is waiting on the other side of the gorge for the moment when he will come racing through the mist towards her at 100 mph. She will then return with him, hanging on to him as he goes back along the cable. Diana had no idea when she took the teaching job that just getting to work in the village school would be dangerous.“At first I wanted to cry，” she says, clutching her hook as the metal cable starts to rattle(喀哒作响)violently at Diaz's approach. “But I soon got used to it.”She still prefers to go with Diaz, though, rather than making the frightening and dangerous crossing on her own.
For the inhabitants(居民)of Los Pinos, the wire cable is a lifeline. For more than 50 years, it has served the community as a form of transport to and from the rest of the world. Everything that comes arrives via the cable-bricks and wood for building, sacks of rice and corn. Pregnant mothers, who must get to the nearest clinic, cross the wire during the darkness of the night, returning with their newborn babies. It is dangerous, but they have no choice.
This time Robinson Diaz makes a perfect landing on Diana's side of the gorge. For him, the dangers of this daily journey are insignificant. “What I'm really scared of is snakes，” he says.“This is nothing in comparison.”Then Diana straps herself into her harness and hooks herself up to the wire behind Diaz, holding on to him tightly. He turns, flashes her a smile, releases the brake and kicks away. Within seconds, teacher and cable-racer have disappeared back into the mist.

B
I have always been in a hurry and tried to finish too many things. I never had time to think about my beliefs until my daughter, Paula, fell ill. She was in a coma(昏迷) for a year and I took care of her at home, until she died in my arms in December of 1992.
During that year everything stopped for me. There was nothing to do—just cry and remember. However, that year also gave me an opportunity to reflect upon(反思)my life. I discovered that my beliefs and the way I lived my life had changed.
Paula worked as a volunteer helping women and children. She never had any money, but she needed very little. When she died she had nothing and she needed nothing. During her illness I had to let go of everything: her laughter, her voice, her grace, her beauty, her company and finally her spirit. When she died, I thought I had lost everything, but then I realized I still had something that I had given her—the love.
Paula taught me a lesson that is now my belief: you only have what you give. It's by spending yourself that you become rich. Now I like to give much more than to receive. I am happier when I love than when I am loved. I love my husband, my son, my grandchildren, my mother, my dog, and frankly I don't know if they even like me. But who cares? Loving them is my joy.
Give, give, give—what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be buried with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others and with everything. It is in giving that I feel the spirit of my daughter inside me, like a soft presence.
文章大意：作者的女儿Paula是一个慈善组织的志愿者。她一直无私帮助别的妇女儿童，以至于因病去世以后一无所有。女儿的死令作者悲痛万分，从而使其改变了信念和生活方式。她开始用无私的给予和爱去帮助别人，同时也使自己变得更加富有。
6．The author's daughter died of/from________.
A. an accident B. overwork
C. an illness D. cancer
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“I never had time to think about my beliefs until my daughter, Paula，fell ill”可知答案选C。
7．What's the effect of her daughter's death on the author?
A．The author was regretful, for she hadn't taken good care of her daughter.
B．The author was too sad to go on with her work.
C．The author became more selfish than before.
D．The author's beliefs and lifestyle were changed.
答案： D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“I discovered that my beliefs and the way I lived my life had changed”可知答案选D。
8．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．Paula was a teenager who worked as a volunteer
B．Paula had donated all her money and belongings to others
C．the author's family didn't like her
D. the author wanted to be a rich woman
答案：B 推理判断题。从第三段“She never had any money，but she needed very little.When she died she had nothing and she needed nothing”可知，Paula死去的时候一无所有，联系到前面所说的她是一个帮助妇女儿童的志愿者，可以推断她在生前把自己的钱物全都捐赠给别人了。
9．What's the best title of the passage?
A. Connect with Others
B. Take Time with Your Family
C. Don't Always Be in a Hurry
D. A Lesson from My Daughter
答案： D 主旨大意题。文章通过描述作者从女儿的死得到的感触，表达了作者从女儿身上学到生活的意义在于给予而不是索取，因此D项为最佳标题。

Dear Ms Wang，
I'm Li Ming. Two years ago, I received your letter and schooling fees. I'm very grateful for your kindness and generosity.
But for your help, I couldn't enjoy a wonderful college life in the beautiful campus right now. I've made a lot of friends here. Moreover, I am studying hard so as to acquire an abundant knowledge of English, which is my major. In fact, I'm making progress each day. Only in this way can I learn more and use what I've known to help those in need as well. Besides, I'm determined to go back to my hometown after graduation and devote myself to building my hometown, to make it more prosperous and beautiful.
Words seem to fail me when I try once more to express my thanks to you, and I'll keep my promise and not let you down.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming
