For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.
This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).
Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland’s Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive (连续的) days.
Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.
Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy (皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.
On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.
“The biological and psychological mechanisms (机体) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren’t consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.
24．What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study
A．What they wrote. B．Where they wrote.
C．When they wrote. D．How often they wrote.
25．According to the text, the experiment lasted __________.
A．about three days B．about a month
C．about two weeks D．about ten days
26．The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A．speeded B．showed C．limited D．ruined
27．What would be the best title of the text
A．Sharing with others can reduce stress.
B．Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.
C．Expressive writing heals physical wounds.
D．Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.
C
English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster” he said.
28．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
A．remain widespread and important
B．be more important than any other language
C．lose its dominant position
D．die away in the near future
29．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A．more and more language users will choose English
B．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C．English language will soon drop in dominance
D．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
30．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.
31．What should be the best title for the passage
A．English Remaining in the Dominant Position
B．The Future of English Who Knows
C．Opinions from Different Experts
D．The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
D
What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration
According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.
While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological (心理学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.
32．What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph
A．Few people like bright red or yellow. B．Pale colors are connected with good grades.
C．Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.
D．Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.
33．What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2
A．Participants’ preferences in colors. B．How participants reacted to colors.
C．Time participants spent in the rooms. D．What participants read in the rooms.
34．What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University
A．Most people know how to make use of colors.
B．Stress is needed when you want to concentrate.
C．The higher the stress, the better your performance.
D．Being relaxed is very important to people studying.
35．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Findings about people’s favourite room colors.
B．Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.
C．Room colors can affect one’s academic performance.
D．Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 36 Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.
◆ Sharpen your memory.
Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere 37 It's because of stress hormones（荷尔蒙）that increase your alertness(机敏) when it’s most needed.
38
Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.
◆ Helping you resist the attack of illness.
39 Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.
◆ Making your life more interesting.
Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 40
A．Helping you get an advantage at work.
B．Helping you get through difficult times.
C．This will happen whenever you are stressed.
D．That’s one way your brain responds to stress.
E．You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.
F．But they’re the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.
G．But handled properly, stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.

英语参考答案：
听力
1-5：CBBCA 6-10：BAACA 11-15：BBCAB 16-20：ABCCB
21．A 细节理解题。根据文中票价表格可知，一张普通票499港币，而3岁以下儿童是免票的，题目中所述的一位母亲带两岁孩子只需购买一张普通票，共需499港币。故选A项。
22．D 细节理解题。根据Purchase Ticket Directly at Hong Kong Disneyland Ticket Express部分中“Open from 9: 00am—8: 00pm on Monday to Friday”可知售票中心周一是早上九点至晚上八点开放，即购票最晚不能迟于晚上八点。故选D项。
23．B 细节理解题。根据Purchase 2 Park Tickets at one of the following locations and receive a FREE limited-edition Disney gift可知，在Avenue of Stars Kiosks或者Asia World-Expo Box Office购票可免费获得一份礼品，故选B项。
24．A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知，参加测试的对象中有一半被要求写出他们最难受的经历，最深层的感受。另外一半被要求写出日常活动但是不要提到情绪方面的内容。可知这两群人的要求是不一样的。故A正确。
25．B 细节理解题。根据3、5、6段可知They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive (连续的) days.先连续写三天；Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy (皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm.两周以后继续皮下活体组织检查；On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. 活体组织检查11天以后检测伤口愈合程度。加起来大约是一个月的时间。故B正确。
26．A 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，被要求写出内心深层感受的人的伤口愈合得更快，这正可以说明精神对身体是有很大影响的。再根据划线词所在句子可知，在他们无意识的情况下，表达情绪的写作可以导致免疫系统的做出回应——加快伤口的恢复。所以该词应该和A项speeded“加速，加快”意义一致。
27．C 主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed(愈合) more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.可知本文主要是关于表达内心感受的写作可以帮助老年人很快地愈合。故C正确。
28．C 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而，英国语言学者David Graddol表示，到本世纪中叶，英语的主导地位可能会下降，仅次于汉语，与阿拉伯语，印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”可知，David Graddol认为未来英语的主导地位会下降，仅次于汉语，也就是说英语的主导地位会丧失。故选C。
29．A 句意猜测题。根据最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知，Graddol认为英语还是具有统治地位的。所以推知划线句子的句意为：越来越多的人会选择英语。故选A。
30．B 细节理解题。根据第一段“One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. (一位专家指出，以英语为母语的人的比例正在下降，而其他快速发展的地区的语言正在被越来越多的人使用。)”及第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而，英国语言学者David Graddol表示，到本世纪中叶，英语的主导地位可能会下降，仅次于汉语，与阿拉伯语，印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”及最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知，一共有三名专家对英语的未来发表了个人观点。故选B。
31．B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers (英语正迅速成为世界各地的科学语言，但在日常使用者中它的未来是什么呢？)”可知，文章讨论了英语的未来，及英语是否仍然还是第一语言，不同的人表示来了不同的观点。故文章标题是The Future of English Who Knows (英语的未来？谁知道呢？)故选B。
32．D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句话“What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow.(什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所？我们将猜测它们可能没有被涂成鲜红色或黄色)”可推知，人们普遍的观点是色彩明亮的房间不利于学习。故选D。
33．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句话“And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate.(事实似乎是这样的：柯廷大学的研究表明，苍白的颜色使参与者感到更放松和平静，而明亮的颜色则增加了心率)”可知，直接影响研究结果的是参与者对颜色的反应。故选B。
34．B 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.(尽管参与者报告说，他们通常更喜欢在浅色的房间里学习，以此作为放松工作的一种方式，但研究人员看到的恰恰相反——明亮的房间似乎能让人更集中注意力)”可知，色彩明亮的房间可以制造适当的压力，让人们学习时能够更加集中注意力。由此推知，当你想集中注意力时，压力是必要的。故选B。
35．C 文章大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying .(什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所？)”可知，文章与适合学习的房间颜色有关，然后在第二段中介绍Curtin大学的相关研究，研究人员发现色彩艳丽的房间让人感到压力，却更能让人集中注意力，最后一段则介绍初步结论——适当压力会让人取得好成绩。即房间的颜色会影响学习成绩。C项“房间的颜色会影响一个人的学习成绩”，符合文意。故选C。
36.G 根据上文“We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between.（我们每天面临许多来自各方面的压力）”和下文“Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.（下面是怎样使压力帮助我们）”可知，虽然压力不好，但如果妥善处理的话，也会带来好处。G项“但是妥善处理，压力可以对我们的身心有所帮助”符合题意，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
37．D 根据上文“Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere （你有没有注意到有时候当你感到压力时，你的记忆力似乎有所提高？还记得你通过的那次考试吗？答案似乎不知从何而来？）”可知，上文提出了一系列问题。由此推知，空处要对这些问题进行回答。D项“这是大脑回应压力的一种方式”符合题意，也是有关压力和记忆力内容的，呼应小标题。故选D。
38．A 空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.（成功的员工将压力转化为动力。你有没有注意到，当你的截止日期最少时，你完成的工作最少？压力太小会影响你实际完成的工作。当你冒险并选择克服困难时，它会提高你的心理韧性和自信心）”可知，本段主要讲压力可以变为动力，但压力要适度。A项“帮助你在工作中获得优势”符合本段大意，可以作为小标题，故选A。
39．E 本段主题是“压力帮助你抵抗疾病”。根据上文“Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. （信不信由你，适当的压力可以帮助你的身体抵御疾病）”可知，适度的压力有益于免疫系统。E项“你需要健康的免疫系统来帮助抵抗疾病”与上文承接自然，且符合主题，故选E。
40．F本段的主题是“使你的生活更有趣”。根据上文“Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes.（想想我们有意识地将自己置于一些压力环境中，让生活变得更加有趣和愉快，比如第一次约会邀请某人，克服已知的恐惧，或者学习新的东西。当你想到压力时，由于积极的结果，这些可能不会立即浮现在你的脑海中）”推知，尽管不能立刻想到，但有趣的事情能帮我们感受幸福。但F项“但是他们是可以帮助你实现成就感和幸福感的类型”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文提到的有趣事情。故选F。
41．B 考查代词词义辨析。句意：导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读。A. something某事；B. anything任何事；C. somebody某人；D. anybody任何人。由下文的“that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about”可知，下文是定语从句修饰该空，导师要求我们把我们过去的任何事情（anything）都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧（ashamed）、后悔或未完成的，若填something只表示一些事情，不合语境。故选B项。
42．A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读。A. ashamed羞愧的；B. afraid害怕的；C. sure肯定的；D. proud自豪的。由下文的“regretted, or incomplete about”可知，导师让我们列出过去我们感到后悔或不完整的，还有羞愧的事情。故选A项。
43．A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这似乎是一个非常私人的过程，但总有一些勇敢的灵魂在人群中自愿发声。A. private私人的；B. boring无聊的；C. interesting有趣的；D. funny好笑的。由上文的“The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.”可知，导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读，上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。故选A项。
44．D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这似乎是一个非常私人的过程，但总有一些勇敢的灵魂在人群中自愿发声。A. foolish愚蠢的；B. polite礼貌的；C. simple简单的；D. brave勇敢的。由下文的“Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story”可知，作者旁边的那个男人举手自告奋勇地讲了自己的故事，所以尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。故选D项。
45．B考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后，导师建议我们想办法向人们道歉，或者采取行动纠正任何错误行为。A. expected期望；B. suggested建议；C. ordered命令；D. demanded要求。由下文的“take some action to right any wrong doings”可知，导师是在建议培训人员采取行动纠正任何错误行为。故选B项。
46．C考查动词短语辨析。句意：然后，导师建议我们想办法向人们道歉，或者采取行动纠正任何错误行为。A. connect with与……联系；B. depend on依靠；C. make apologies to对……道歉；D. get along with和……相处。由上下文语境可知，培训班中同学Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)自告奋勇地叙述了自己曾经做过的一件遗憾的事件，他辱骂了警长并且拒绝承认，但他最终找到了当年的警长并向警长道歉，可得出导师在课堂上建议学员们想办法向人们道歉。故选C项。
47．A考查动词词义辨析。句意：我真的很想知道这怎么能改善我的沟通。A. improve提高；B. continue继续；C. realize意识到；D. keep保持。由上文语境可知，本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在导师所要学员做的一切（想办法向人们道歉，或者采取行动纠正任何错误行为）似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高（improve）他的交际能力。故选A项。
48．B考查名词词义辨析。句意：在我的清单上，我想起了高中时发生的一件事。A. notes笔记；B. list清单；C. plan计划；D. stories故事。由上文的“The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about”可知，导师要求我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整事情的清单，make a list意为“列表、造表”。故选B项。
49．C考查代词词义辨析。句意：有一个警长，我们这些孩子都不喜欢。A. any任何；B. most大多数；C. none没有一个；D. all全部。由下文的“wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生)”可知，Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴辱骂警长，说明他们都不喜欢那位警长。故选C项。
50．C考查名词词义辨析。句意：一天晚上，我和我的两个伙伴决定捉弄他。A. part部分；B. game游戏；C. trick把戏；D. record记录。由下文的“wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生)”可知，Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴辱骂警长，说明他们捉弄了警长，play a trick on sb意为“捉弄某人”。故选C项。
51．B考查名词词义辨析。句意：第二天，几乎全城的人都看到了我们的光荣标志。A. view观点；B. sign标志；C. attention注意力；D. remark评论。由上文的“Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生)”可知，这是Jimmy他们写在高水槽上的标志。故选B项。
52．D考查副词词义辨析。句意：没人查明事实真相。A. also也；B. even甚至；C. still仍然；D. ever在任何时候、从来。由上文的“Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied”和下文语境可知，警长询问真相时，Jimmy撒谎了，近20年后Jimmy向警长道歉，说明从来就没人查明事实真相。故选D项。
53．A考查动词词义辨析。句意：将近20年后，布朗警长的名字出现在我的名单上。A. appears出现；B. considers考虑；C. presents赠送；D. remembers回忆。由下文语境可知，近20年后Jimmy向警长道歉了，说明布朗警长的名字被列在了“过去感到羞耻、后悔或不完整事情”的清单上。故选A项。
54．D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我甚至不知道他是否还活着。A. angry生气的；B. happy快乐的；C. doubtful怀疑的；D. alive活着的。由下文语境可知，20年过去了，此时Jimmy还不知道布朗警长是否活着，后面他们接通电话，证实了布朗警长还活着，所以此处不宜用其他形容词。故选D项。
55．B考查名词词义辨析。句意：铃响后，我听到“喂？”我说，“布朗警长？”A. words话语；B. rings铃声；C. repeats重演的事物；D. calls电话。由上文的“I tried his number.”可知，Jimmy打布朗警长的电话，铃响后，电话被拨通。故选B项。
56．D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们开怀大笑，进行了热烈的讨论。A. cold寒冷的；B. plain朴素的；C. nervous紧张的；D. lively活跃热情的。由上文的“We had a good laugh”可知，布朗警长很开心，所以布朗警长和Jimmy进行的是热烈的（lively）讨论。故选D项。
57．D考查连词词义辨析。句意：Jimmy，我一直为你感到难过，因为你的朋友们把它说出来了，但这些年来你一直带着它。A. in case以防；B. so long as只要；C. unless除非；D. because因为。由本处语境可知，后面的句子说明原因，故选 because引导原因状语从句：因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事说出来了。故选D项。
58．A考查副词词义辨析。句意：Jimmy，我一直为你感到难过，因为你的朋友们把它说出来了，但这些年来你一直带着它。A. around周围；B. out出去；C. through通过；D. away离开。由上文语境可知，近20年后Jimmy向警长道歉，说明Jimmy这些年来一直把他所做过的错事带在身边（记在心头）。故选A项。
59．C考查动词短语辨析。句意：Jimmy激励我在两年内把清单上的101项都清理干净，我一直记得我从课程中学到的东西：纠正过去的错误永远不嫌晚。A. build up建立；B. make up组成；C. clear up清理；D. give up放弃。由上文语境可知，近20年后Jimmy向警长道歉这件事鼓励了作者消除自己清单上的所有101项(做错了事情)。故选C项。
60．C考查动词词义辨析。句意：Jimmy激励我在两年内把清单上的101项都清理干净，我一直记得我从课程中学到的东西：纠正过去的错误永远不嫌晚。A. regret后悔；B. forgive原谅；C. right改正；D. punish惩罚。由上文的“take some action to right any wrong doings”可知，导师建议学员采取行动纠正任何错误行为，因为纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。故选C项。
语法填空
61．that 62．to be 63．a 64．of 65．it 66．teaching
67．has carried/ has been carrying 68．communication 69．if 70．beautiful
【解析】
61．考查定语从句。句意：当我想到中国文化的美丽和魅力时，首先进入我脑海的是复杂的中国书法图像。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词things是物，且被序数词first修饰，因此空格处用关系代词that引导该定语从句，故填that。
62．考查不定式。句意：不幸的是，中国书法艺术似乎正在逐渐消失。seem to do是固定短语，意为“似乎做某事”，因此空格处是to be。故填to be。
63．考查冠词。句意：这是中国书法家协会资深书法大师崔志强的担心。master是单数，且表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，senior是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
64．考查介词。句意：他解释说，这是受手机和电脑日常使用的影响。根据语境和句意可知，use和“cellphones and computers”之间是所属关系，因此空格处用表示所属的介词of，故填of。
65．考查代词。句意：据说，这种现象不仅影响了汉语的书面形式，也影响了英语。It is said that...是固定句型，意为“据说……”，其中it是形式主语，that从句是主语从句，因此空格处是it，位于句首，首字母大写，故填It。
66．考查动名词。句意：计算机技能现在被认为是非常基本的，以至于曾经在小学教手写的时间现在被用来教键盘。spend some time doing是固定短语，意为“花费时间做某事”，因此空格处是动名词teaching，故填teaching。
67．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：几千年来，汉字的书写形式一直承载着繁体字的故事。由“for thousands of years”可知，句子时态用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，主语“The written form of the Chinese language”是单数概念，因此空格处是has carried/has been carrying。故填has carried/has been carrying。
68．考查名词。句意：如果你认为语言只是一种交流工具，那么你可能会同意。空格处用名词作宾语，communicate的名词是communication，意为“交流”，是不可数名词，故填communication。
69．考查连词。句意：然而，如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西”，空格处意为“如果”，用if引导条件状语从句，故填if。
70．考查形容词。句意：然而，如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西。空格处用形容词作something的后置定语，beauty的形容词是beautiful，意为“美丽的”，故填beautiful。
短文改错
1.Celebrate后面加the 2.Unfortunately—Fortunately 3 .were--was
4.flower—flowers 5. passed--passing 6.to—with 7.去掉but
8.so--such 9.which--that 10.power—powerful
1. 此处特指中华人民共和国成立70周年庆典序数词前，应加定冠词the.
2. 被选中参加庆典游行是一件幸运的事情，故将Unfortunately改为Fortunately.
3. 分析句子结构可知，该句的主语是I，本句描述的是过去的事情，所以be动词用was。
4. 根据后面的in our hands可知，作者和同学们手中的花不可能只有一朵，故应用flower的复数形式flowers。
5.When…Tian’anmen Square是时间状语，pass与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故用现在分词passing。本题易误在passed前面加we,根据语境可以判断，若when引导时间状语从句，应该用进行时态when we were passingTian’anmen Square故排除加we的可能.
6.be filled with:充满,是固定用法.
7. 分析句子结构可知although为连词，引导让步状语从句，主句不需要but，故删除but。
8. Such修饰名词常用结构为such+a/an+形容词+名词，so修饰形容词，常用结构为so+adj.+a/an+n.分析句子结构可知，此处应用such.
9.So… that如此…..以至于，是固定用法。
10.作者要努力学习，使我们的国家更加强大，此处的词作宾语补足语，应该用形容词powerful.
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here are a few suggestions.
First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it is beneficial for you to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.
This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).
Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland’s Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive (连续的) days.
Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.
Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy (皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.
On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.
“The biological and psychological mechanisms (机体) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren’t consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.
24．What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study
A．What they wrote. B．Where they wrote.
C．When they wrote. D．How often they wrote.
25．According to the text, the experiment lasted __________.
A．about three days B．about a month
C．about two weeks D．about ten days
26．The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A．speeded B．showed C．limited D．ruined
27．What would be the best title of the text
A．Sharing with others can reduce stress.
B．Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.
C．Expressive writing heals physical wounds.
D．Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.
C
English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster” he said.
28．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
A．remain widespread and important
B．be more important than any other language
C．lose its dominant position
D．die away in the near future
29．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A．more and more language users will choose English
B．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C．English language will soon drop in dominance
D．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
30．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.
31．What should be the best title for the passage
A．English Remaining in the Dominant Position
B．The Future of English Who Knows
C．Opinions from Different Experts
D．The English Language Snowball Rolling Down

What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration
According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.
While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological (心理学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.
32．What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph
A．Few people like bright red or yellow. B．Pale colors are connected with good grades.
C．Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.
D．Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.
33．What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2
A．Participants’ preferences in colors. B．How participants reacted to colors.
C．Time participants spent in the rooms. D．What participants read in the rooms.
34．What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University
A．Most people know how to make use of colors.
B．Stress is needed when you want to concentrate.
C．The higher the stress, the better your performance.
D．Being relaxed is very important to people studying.
35．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Findings about people’s favourite room colors.
B．Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.
C．Room colors can affect one’s academic performance.
D．Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 36 Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.
◆ Sharpen your memory.
Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere 37 It's because of stress hormones（荷尔蒙）that increase your alertness(机敏) when it’s most needed.
38
Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.
◆ Helping you resist the attack of illness.
39 Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.
◆ Making your life more interesting.
Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 40
A．Helping you get an advantage at work.
B．Helping you get through difficult times.
C．This will happen whenever you are stressed.
D．That’s one way your brain responds to stress.
E．You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.
F．But they’re the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 41 in our past that we felt 42 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 43 process, but there’s always some 44 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 45 that we find ways to 46 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever ___47___ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 48 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __49__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies (伙伴) and I decided to play a 50 on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 51 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 52 found out.
Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 53 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 54 .

英语参考答案：
听力
1-5：CBBCA 6-10：BAACA 11-15：BBCAB 16-20：ABCCB
21．A 细节理解题。根据文中票价表格可知，一张普通票499港币，而3岁以下儿童是免票的，题目中所述的一位母亲带两岁孩子只需购买一张普通票，共需499港币。故选A项。
22．D 细节理解题。根据Purchase Ticket Directly at Hong Kong Disneyland Ticket Express部分中“Open from 9: 00am—8: 00pm on Monday to Friday”可知售票中心周一是早上九点至晚上八点开放，即购票最晚不能迟于晚上八点。故选D项。
23．B 细节理解题。根据Purchase 2 Park Tickets at one of the following locations and receive a FREE limited-edition Disney gift可知，在Avenue of Stars Kiosks或者Asia World-Expo Box Office购票可免费获得一份礼品，故选B项。
24．A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知，参加测试的对象中有一半被要求写出他们最难受的经历，最深层的感受。另外一半被要求写出日常活动但是不要提到情绪方面的内容。可知这两群人的要求是不一样的。故A正确。
25．B 细节理解题。根据3、5、6段可知They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive (连续的) days.先连续写三天；Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy (皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm.两周以后继续皮下活体组织检查；On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. 活体组织检查11天以后检测伤口愈合程度。加起来大约是一个月的时间。故B正确。
26．A 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，被要求写出内心深层感受的人的伤口愈合得更快，这正可以说明精神对身体是有很大影响的。再根据划线词所在句子可知，在他们无意识的情况下，表达情绪的写作可以导致免疫系统的做出回应——加快伤口的恢复。所以该词应该和A项speeded“加速，加快”意义一致。
27．C 主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed(愈合) more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.可知本文主要是关于表达内心感受的写作可以帮助老年人很快地愈合。故C正确。
28．C 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而，英国语言学者David Graddol表示，到本世纪中叶，英语的主导地位可能会下降，仅次于汉语，与阿拉伯语，印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”可知，David Graddol认为未来英语的主导地位会下降，仅次于汉语，也就是说英语的主导地位会丧失。故选C。
29．A 句意猜测题。根据最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知，Graddol认为英语还是具有统治地位的。所以推知划线句子的句意为：越来越多的人会选择英语。故选A。
30．B 细节理解题。根据第一段“One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. (一位专家指出，以英语为母语的人的比例正在下降，而其他快速发展的地区的语言正在被越来越多的人使用。)”及第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而，英国语言学者David Graddol表示，到本世纪中叶，英语的主导地位可能会下降，仅次于汉语，与阿拉伯语，印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”及最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知，一共有三名专家对英语的未来发表了个人观点。故选B。
31．B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers (英语正迅速成为世界各地的科学语言，但在日常使用者中它的未来是什么呢？)”可知，文章讨论了英语的未来，及英语是否仍然还是第一语言，不同的人表示来了不同的观点。故文章标题是The Future of English Who Knows (英语的未来？谁知道呢？)故选B。
32．D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句话“What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow.(什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所？我们将猜测它们可能没有被涂成鲜红色或黄色)”可推知，人们普遍的观点是色彩明亮的房间不利于学习。故选D。
33．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句话“And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate.(事实似乎是这样的：柯廷大学的研究表明，苍白的颜色使参与者感到更放松和平静，而明亮的颜色则增加了心率)”可知，直接影响研究结果的是参与者对颜色的反应。故选B。
34．B 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.(尽管参与者报告说，他们通常更喜欢在浅色的房间里学习，以此作为放松工作的一种方式，但研究人员看到的恰恰相反——明亮的房间似乎能让人更集中注意力)”可知，色彩明亮的房间可以制造适当的压力，让人们学习时能够更加集中注意力。由此推知，当你想集中注意力时，压力是必要的。故选B。
35．C 文章大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying .(什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所？)”可知，文章与适合学习的房间颜色有关，然后在第二段中介绍Curtin大学的相关研究，研究人员发现色彩艳丽的房间让人感到压力，却更能让人集中注意力，最后一段则介绍初步结论——适当压力会让人取得好成绩。即房间的颜色会影响学习成绩。C项“房间的颜色会影响一个人的学习成绩”，符合文意。故选C。
36.G 根据上文“We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between.（我们每天面临许多来自各方面的压力）”和下文“Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.（下面是怎样使压力帮助我们）”可知，虽然压力不好，但如果妥善处理的话，也会带来好处。G项“但是妥善处理，压力可以对我们的身心有所帮助”符合题意，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
37．D 根据上文“Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere （你有没有注意到有时候当你感到压力时，你的记忆力似乎有所提高？还记得你通过的那次考试吗？答案似乎不知从何而来？）”可知，上文提出了一系列问题。由此推知，空处要对这些问题进行回答。D项“这是大脑回应压力的一种方式”符合题意，也是有关压力和记忆力内容的，呼应小标题。故选D。
38．A 空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.（成功的员工将压力转化为动力。你有没有注意到，当你的截止日期最少时，你完成的工作最少？压力太小会影响你实际完成的工作。当你冒险并选择克服困难时，它会提高你的心理韧性和自信心）”可知，本段主要讲压力可以变为动力，但压力要适度。A项“帮助你在工作中获得优势”符合本段大意，可以作为小标题，故选A。
39．E 本段主题是“压力帮助你抵抗疾病”。根据上文“Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. （信不信由你，适当的压力可以帮助你的身体抵御疾病）”可知，适度的压力有益于免疫系统。E项“你需要健康的免疫系统来帮助抵抗疾病”与上文承接自然，且符合主题，故选E。
40．F本段的主题是“使你的生活更有趣”。根据上文“Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes.（想想我们有意识地将自己置于一些压力环境中，让生活变得更加有趣和愉快，比如第一次约会邀请某人，克服已知的恐惧，或者学习新的东西。当你想到压力时，由于积极的结果，这些可能不会立即浮现在你的脑海中）”推知，尽管不能立刻想到，但有趣的事情能帮我们感受幸福。但F项“但是他们是可以帮助你实现成就感和幸福感的类型”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文提到的有趣事情。故选F。
41．B 考查代词词义辨析。句意：导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读。A. something某事；B. anything任何事；C. somebody某人；D. anybody任何人。由下文的“that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about”可知，下文是定语从句修饰该空，导师要求我们把我们过去的任何事情（anything）都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧（ashamed）、后悔或未完成的，若填something只表示一些事情，不合语境。故选B项。
42．A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读。A. ashamed羞愧的；B. afraid害怕的；C. sure肯定的；D. proud自豪的。由下文的“regretted, or incomplete about”可知，导师让我们列出过去我们感到后悔或不完整的，还有羞愧的事情。故选A项。
43．A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这似乎是一个非常私人的过程，但总有一些勇敢的灵魂在人群中自愿发声。A. private私人的；B. boring无聊的；C. interesting有趣的；D. funny好笑的。由上文的“The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.”可知，导师让我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整的事情，并大声朗读，上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。故选A项。
44．D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这似乎是一个非常私人的过程，但总有一些勇敢的灵魂在人群中自愿发声。A. foolish愚蠢的；B. polite礼貌的；C. simple简单的；D. brave勇敢的。由下文的“Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story”可知，作者旁边的那个男人举手自告奋勇地讲了自己的故事，所以尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。故选D项。
45．B考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后，导师建议我们想办法向人们道歉，或者采取行动纠正任何错误行为。A. expected期望；B. suggested建议；C. ordered命令；D. demanded要求。由下文的“take some action to right any wrong doings”可知，导师是在建议培训人员采取行动纠正任何错误行为。故选B项。

47．A考查动词词义辨析。句意：我真的很想知道这怎么能改善我的沟通。A. improve提高；B. continue继续；C. realize意识到；D. keep保持。由上文语境可知，本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在导师所要学员做的一切（想办法向人们道歉，或者采取行动纠正任何错误行为）似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高（improve）他的交际能力。故选A项。
48．B考查名词词义辨析。句意：在我的清单上，我想起了高中时发生的一件事。A. notes笔记；B. list清单；C. plan计划；D. stories故事。由上文的“The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about”可知，导师要求我们列出过去我们感到羞耻、后悔或不完整事情的清单，make a list意为“列表、造表”。故选B项。
49．C考查代词词义辨析。句意：有一个警长，我们这些孩子都不喜欢。A. any任何；B. most大多数；C. none没有一个；D. all全部。由下文的“wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生)”可知，Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴辱骂警长，说明他们都不喜欢那位警长。故选C项。

语法填空
61．that 62．to be 63．a 64．of 65．it 66．teaching
67．has carried/ has been carrying 68．communication 69．if 70．beautiful
【解析】
61．考查定语从句。句意：当我想到中国文化的美丽和魅力时，首先进入我脑海的是复杂的中国书法图像。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词things是物，且被序数词first修饰，因此空格处用关系代词that引导该定语从句，故填that。
62．考查不定式。句意：不幸的是，中国书法艺术似乎正在逐渐消失。seem to do是固定短语，意为“似乎做某事”，因此空格处是to be。故填to be。
63．考查冠词。句意：这是中国书法家协会资深书法大师崔志强的担心。master是单数，且表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，senior是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
64．考查介词。句意：他解释说，这是受手机和电脑日常使用的影响。根据语境和句意可知，use和“cellphones and computers”之间是所属关系，因此空格处用表示所属的介词of，故填of。
65．考查代词。句意：据说，这种现象不仅影响了汉语的书面形式，也影响了英语。It is said that...是固定句型，意为“据说……”，其中it是形式主语，that从句是主语从句，因此空格处是it，位于句首，首字母大写，故填It。
66．考查动名词。句意：计算机技能现在被认为是非常基本的，以至于曾经在小学教手写的时间现在被用来教键盘。spend some time doing是固定短语，意为“花费时间做某事”，因此空格处是动名词teaching，故填teaching。
67．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：几千年来，汉字的书写形式一直承载着繁体字的故事。由“for thousands of years”可知，句子时态用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，主语“The written form of the Chinese language”是单数概念，因此空格处是has carried/has been carrying。故填has carried/has been carrying。
68．考查名词。句意：如果你认为语言只是一种交流工具，那么你可能会同意。空格处用名词作宾语，communicate的名词是communication，意为“交流”，是不可数名词，故填communication。
69．考查连词。句意：然而，如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西”，空格处意为“如果”，用if引导条件状语从句，故填if。
70．考查形容词。句意：然而，如果你也将语言视为一种艺术形式，那么我们真的正在失去一些美丽的东西。空格处用形容词作something的后置定语，beauty的形容词是beautiful，意为“美丽的”，故填beautiful。
短文改错
1.Celebrate后面加the 2.Unfortunately—Fortunately 3 .were--was
4.flower—flowers 5. passed--passing 6.to—with 7.去掉but
8.so--such 9.which--that 10.power—powerful
1. 此处特指中华人民共和国成立70周年庆典序数词前，应加定冠词the.
2. 被选中参加庆典游行是一件幸运的事情，故将Unfortunately改为Fortunately.
3. 分析句子结构可知，该句的主语是I，本句描述的是过去的事情，所以be动词用was。
4. 根据后面的in our hands可知，作者和同学们手中的花不可能只有一朵，故应用flower的复数形式flowers。
5.When…Tian’anmen Square是时间状语，pass与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故用现在分词passing。本题易误在passed前面加we,根据语境可以判断，若when引导时间状语从句，应该用进行时态when we were passingTian’anmen Square故排除加we的可能.
6.be filled with:充满,是固定用法.
7. 分析句子结构可知although为连词，引导让步状语从句，主句不需要but，故删除but。
8. Such修饰名词常用结构为such+a/an+形容词+名词，so修饰形容词，常用结构为so+adj.+a/an+n.分析句子结构可知，此处应用such.
9.So… that如此…..以至于，是固定用法。
10.作者要努力学习，使我们的国家更加强大，此处的词作宾语补足语，应该用形容词powerful.
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here are a few suggestions.
First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it is beneficial for you to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
