Ⅱ.阅读理解
On Sundays my father always wore that black apron—the one with the race cars all over it. After breakfast Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_
went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？
I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities．” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.
I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.
People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.
16．What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph
A．To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.
B．To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.
C．To emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes.
D．To stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes.
17．What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to
A．Taking care of the brothers.
B．Making progress academically.
C．Doing all the dishes.
D．Washing the apron with race cars.
18．What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph
A．Mind acts upon mind.
B．Like father like son.
C．A child is better unborn than untaught.
D．Obedience is the first duty of a boy.
19．How did the author feel at the end of the passage
A．Proud. B．Enjoyable.
C．Surprised. D．Regretful.
Ⅲ.阅读表达
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1] It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come. This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.
[2] Why has there been such growth in televised sport For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing to both men and women.
[3] What are the benefits of this state of affairs One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies. Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awareness raising. What's more, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.
[4] However, ________ if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly.
[5] To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.
20．What is the main idea of the text (no more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
21．Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2. (no more than 3 words)
There has been a great increase in TV channels in the past few years with the help of ________________________________________________________________________.
22．Point out the advantage of televised sport which does not concern money in Paragraph 3. (no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
23．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
24．What does the word “it” (Line 3, Paragraph 5) probably refer to (no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查冠词的用法。第一空特指2012年伦敦奥运会；第二空考查抽象名词具体化，此处指“一个震惊的消息”。
2．D 考查情态动词。could have done表示“本来可能而实际未……”。根据句意应选D。
3．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：地震之后，那个可怜的女孩被发现埋在一个教堂的废墟下。
4．A 考查连词。句意：杰克什么都没说，但是老师对他微笑着，好像他做了件很明智的事情。as if意为“好像，似乎”，根据语境可知，A项正确。
5．B 考查动词不定式的用法。动词seem接动词不定式构成seem to结构，故首先排除A、D两项。再结合语境可知，此处描写的是我们目前的状况，故用动词不定式的进行式表示目前正在发生的事情或所处的状态。即B项正确。
6．C 考查动词辨析。根据前一句中的内容可知父母想给孩子提供“庇护”，让他们避免各种危险，无论是真实的还是想象的。A项表示“认出；发现”；B项表示“开除；解散”；D项表示“区分”，都不符合语意。
7．B 考查“remain ＋v. ed”的用法。由语境可知，工人是被困的，所以用trapped。
8．C 考查动词辨析。ruin破坏， 毁灭。句意：根据最近的一项调查，压力过大和长时间的工作正在破坏许多人的健康。hurt伤害(感情)；injure伤害，损害(感情)，损害(名誉)；desert放弃，抛弃。
9．B 考查动词的时态和语态。截止到被发现已经被埋藏了千年，故用过去完成时态，且使用被动语态。
10．B 考查习惯用法。judging by “通过……判断”，在句中通常作状语。
11．D 考查动词短语辨析。give out分发，符合句意。 give off散发，放出； give in屈服；give up放弃。
12．A 考查介词短语辨析。句意：王女士给这个无家可归的人提供食物和水，而不是把他看作社会的羞耻。 instead of “代替……，而不是……”，其后接名词、动名词等； as a result of 由于； in the event of 在……关头； regardless of 不顾，不管。
13．C 考查主谓一致。a large number of…作主语，谓语动词用复数，由Nowadays可知，时态为一般现在时。
14．B 考查非谓语动词。to be improved 用作补语，表示尚未发生的动作。our speaking and writing skills leave much to be improved 意为“我们的说和写的能力有待于极大提高”。
15．C 考查交际用语。根据答语中的反意疑问部分可知前半句是否定句，由此可排除前两项。C项的意思是“问一下没关系”，符合语境。
Ⅱ.一条黑色的围裙，一对心照不宣的父子，维系着一个无比温馨的家庭。
16．D 推理判断题。下一句提到作者的父亲一边唱歌一边洗刷餐具，再结合本段中他所说的话可推测这三个倒装句是为了强调作者的父亲非常享受这个过程，乐在其中。
17．C 词义猜测题。根据下文中的“Starting today，I want you to do the dishes…”可知画线词指的是“洗刷所有的餐具”。
18．A 推理判断题。下一句提到正当作者要冲出来时，作者的父亲拿着那件旧围裙来到了厨房，由此可推出两人“心有灵犀一点通”。后三项分别表示“有其父必有其子”、“养不教，父之过”、“男孩以服从命令为天职”，都不符合语境。
19．B 推理判断题。最后一段最后提到作者也效仿父亲的做法，边唱那首歌曲边洗刷餐具，由此可推断作者感到非常“愉快”。
Ⅲ.这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了电视实况转播体育节目的优点和缺点。
20．Advantages and disadvantages of televised sport
由本文的内容以及本文的主题句“This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and
shortcomings to this.”可知本文主要讲述了电视实况播放体育节目的优缺点。
21．digital broadcasting
所给句与第二段第二句“For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten
years ago.”相匹配，由此可知电视频道的增加是由于数字播放的结果。
22．A health benefit.
由第三段最后一句“What's more, there is a health benefit to some of the population …”可知“对健康有益”是一个与经济无关的优点。
23．there are/will be (some) disadvantages
前一段提到了优点，故推知此段应该是讲述缺点了。
24．Televised sport.
由划线词所在句“while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much,
it …”以及it的用法，可知it应该指代前面提到的电视播放的体育节目。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler(学龄前儿童)：
Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build self confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)．
To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.
For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books-Bambi and Pinocchio.
16．What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination
A．Understanding the other people's feelings and problems.
B． Expressing their feelings like anger.
C．Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.
D．Helping them form a good habit of reading stories.
17．What does the underlined word “Boost” mean
A．Improve. B．Limit.
C．Push. D．Praise.
18．From the last paragraph we can learn that ________．
A．Reader's Digest Young Families wins an iParenting Media Award
B．Disney edition of Peter Pan can be got online for free
C．the story of Peter Pan has been popular with kids
D．Bambi and Pinocchio are offered for free because of bad sales
19．What's the purpose of writing the article
A．To tell readers the benefits of encouraging children's imagination.
B．To introduce some wonderful Disney stories to readers.
C．To provide ways of helping make kids more imaginative.
D．To persuade parents to buy the Disney edition of Peter Pan.
B
Cellphones: is there a cancer link
Could your cellphone give you cancer Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there's a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病). Also there's a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It's apparent now that there's a real risk，” said Carpenter.
But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” said Linet. “We don't have the evidence that there's much danger.”
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场) and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It's funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don't suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
20．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________．
A．they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer
B．they make a fuss over cellphone use
C．some experts have given a warning
D．cellphones are responsible for brain tumors
21．By saying “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that________．
A．the worrying is unnecessary
B．cancer warning labels should be on cellphones
C．there is a link between cellphones and cancer
D．cellphones have nothing to do with cancer
22．The underlined word “underway” is closest in meaning to________．
A．started B．kept on
C．gone on D．in progress
23．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate
A．Optimistic. B．Objective.
C．Disapproving. D．Casual.
Ⅲ.书面表达

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查定语从句。句意：这些旧照片把他们的思绪带回到他们一起度过的大学时光，那时生活艰苦但很愉快。此题考查the college days为先行词的两个定语从句。第一空：which在从句中作spent的宾语；第二空：when在定语从句中作状语。
2．C 考查介词的用法。be familiar with… 表示“对……熟悉，通晓”，多以人作主语；be familiar to…表示“为……所熟悉”，表示被动含义，多以事物作主语，人作宾语。
3．A 考查虚拟语气。由句意“没有你的慷慨相助，我就不可能度过那段艰难的时光”可知，应用A项表示对已经发生过的事情的相反意义的假设。
4．A 考查非谓语动词。第一空因pretend和主语the detective之间是主动关系，故用现在分词；第二空seat作“坐”解时，用过去分词作宾补。
5．A 考查动词辨析。 attach importance to 为固定搭配，意为“重视”。句意：最近几年，父母非常重视他们孩子的教育。attract吸引；attack袭击；assign 分配，指派。
6．D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：孩子的眼睛对于光线比成人更为敏感，所以母亲应该逐渐让婴儿的眼睛接受阳光的照射。familiar熟悉的；available可得到的，可接见的；contradictory矛盾的；sensitive敏感的，灵敏的。
7．C 考查非谓语动词。broadcast为过去分词作定语，表示“被播报”。
8．B 考查动词辨析。句意：著名运动员在广告中替厂家宣传服装和器械，可获得巨额报酬。 earn “赚得”，符合句意。
9．C 考查介词短语辨析。A项意为“为了表达对某人的敬意”；B项意为“需要”；C项意为“万一”；D项意为“以……的形式”。句意：万一发生火灾，很多人会不知所措。
10．C 考查固定搭配。make jokes on sb“拿某人开玩笑”。句意：据我所知，他是个严肃的人，因此你最好别开他的玩笑。
11．B 考查动词短语辨析。A项意为“服侍；伺候”；B项意为“依靠；依赖”；C项意为“坚持”；D项意为“打开”。句意：……你不能总是依靠别人帮你做作业……
12．B therefore所以；因此；above all首先；最重要的是；however然而；after在……之后。句意：要成为伟大之人，你必须聪慧、自信，最重要的是，要诚实。
13．D break in打断，闯入，开始工作；break up结束，散开，分解；break out爆发；break down崩溃，垮掉，出毛病，抛锚。句意：他不得不时不时地停下来擦去额头上的汗水，因为空调出毛病了。选D。
14．D 考查定语从句。关系代词which指代先行词novels，且本句为非限制性定语从句，排除that，所以选择which。
15．A 考查情景对话。句意：——Jones! Roy打坏了玻璃。——没关系。这样的事情时有发生。
Ⅱ.A
这是一篇应用文，介绍想象力对儿童的益处，最后说明培养孩子想象力的方法——给孩子读书。
16．D 细节理解题。从最后两段可知，要让孩子提高想象力，最好的办法就是多读书给他们。这里并没有说可以帮助他们养成阅读故事的好习惯。用排除法也可解答该题。从“Develop social skills”部分可知A项表述正确；从“Work out fears”部分可知B项表述正确；而C项与“Build self confidence”部分的信息一致。
17．A 词义猜测题。结合该段的内容，即丰富的想象力带给儿童的又一好处，例如，可以帮助孩子进行抽象思考等，因此，可推知该段标题的意思是“促进智力发育”，故选A。
18．C 推理判断题。依据该段第一句话推断Peter Pan的故事一直深受儿童喜爱。其余选项则与原文不符。
19．A 写作意图题。本篇文章采用“总——分”的写作方式，从文章第一段即可判断这篇文章的写作目的。
B
文章讲述的是关于手机等辐射是否对人体有害的各方观点。
20．C 推理判断题。根据文中内容可知，有些专家明确辐射会致病，并警告人们。
21．A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，该专家认为没有任何证据可以证明辐射可以对人体造成伤害。
22．D 词义猜测题。根据文章可知此词意为“在进行中”。
23．B 推理判断题。文中作者并没有明确表明自己赞成还是反对的观点，所以是比较客观地看待该问题。
Ⅲ.One possible version：
Dear Jack，
Thank you very much for your invitation.
I'd love to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I'm sorry to inform you that I can't. The reason is that I, together with my classmates, am busy preparing for the coming National College Entrance Examination, which is very important for me. I strongly recommend my friend Anna, who is the most suitable choice to take my place next month. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a good knowledge of traditional Chinese painting. I'm sure that her active personality and perfect spoken English will help make your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wishes to you.
Yours，
Li Hua

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Some unusual words describe how a person spends his or her time. For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.
Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976. Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government. Mr Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a full time television watcher. It is called the Official Couch Potato Handbook.
Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers. A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993. American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.
Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever. A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city. People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.
Cabin fever is not really a disease. However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes. This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play. So do their parents. This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.
Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too.
The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then had children.
Now these children are grown up and have left the nest. They are in college. Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nests. They have become empty nesters.
16．Which of the following was first used
A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.
C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.
17．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.
A．A couch potato B．A nester
C．A mouse potato D．An empty nester
18．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter
A．Because they are addicted to computer games.
B．Because they would like to play outside.
C．Because it is so cold that they couldn't go outside.
D．Because they are too busy at work or school.
19．What's the passage mainly about
A．How to get rid of cabin fever.
B．How people become nesters or empty nesters.
C．How to spend your leisure time.
D．The origin of some words.
B
German researchers said older people tend to be portrayed negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise, they are also shown as being slow and forgetful.
“Living in a youth centered culture, they may appreciate a boost in self esteem.That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society，” said Dr Silvia Knobloch Westerwick，of Ohio State University.
Knobloch Westerwick and her co author Matthias Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 German adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 between 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the journal Communication.
All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine.They were also given limited time to look over either a negative or a positive version of 10 pre selected articles.
Each story was also paired with a photograph depicting(描绘) someone of either the younger or the older age group.
The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people, whether negative or positive.
But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.
According to Knobloch Westerwick, older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.
“Everybody likes a self esteem boost. For young people, though, it's almost automatic. Youth is considered important in society，” she said.
After reading the articles, the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of self esteem. Unlike their younger counterparts, the self esteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.
Although the study was done in Germany, Knobloch Westerwick believes nationality and the national characteristics are not important.
20．What do older people think of themselves, according to the text
A．They are behind the times.
B．They are always forgetful.
C．Their self esteem is challenged in a youth centered culture.
D．They should have a higher status than the young in society.
21．What can be learned from the study
A．The old enjoy reading negative stories about the young.
B．The old are interested in negative articles about other old people.
C．The old are likely to read positive articles about other old people.
D．The young like reading negative articles about other young people.
22．According to Knobloch Westerwick, if a similar study were done in other countries, ________．
A．the result would be unreasonable
B．the result would be quite different
C．the findings would be completely the same
D．much the same result would be found

Dear Katherine，
I don't think you should be so anxious about your son's studies. The college entrance examination is important, but it is not the only challenge we'll have to face. As a senior student myself, I think there are several things you can do for your son. First of all, get to know what he is interested in and help him set a proper goal. Besides, believe in him and encourage him to believe in himself. Lastly, please spare some time to listen to him. The more he communicates with others, the less pressure he'll have.
I hope what is suggested above will bring out an easier time in your family during your son's preparation for his college entrance exam.

A
In an ideal world, people would not test medicines on animals.Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time consuming for people.Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.
Europe, on the whole, has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.
Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models, are now strongly recommended.In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time, money, and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.
Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe' s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.
16．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The success of animal experiments should be ensured.
B．Ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.
C．Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.
D．Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.
17．Which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab
A．America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.
B．Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.
C．Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.
D．Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.
18．Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments
A．Statistical studies.
B．Computer models.
C．DNA planted in animals.
D．Tissue from dead animals.
19．What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments
A．They are not revealed to the public.
B．They are made into teaching materials.
C．They are collected for future publication.
D．They are not removed from the research topic list.
B
Today we will explain a very old saying that has had a big influence on rock and roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.
This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock and roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.
Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Rolling Stone”．
A British rock group is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rock and roll band”．
In 1965, Bob Dylan released his song “Like a Rolling Stone”．It is one of his best known and most influential works.
It is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. But now she is on her own，“with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”．
In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”．The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971，“Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.
20．Which person can be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb
A．A person who always changes his jobs.
B．A person who has a successful career.
C．A person who has no family.
D．A person who is out of work.
21．All of them are musicians except ________．
A．Elvis Presley B．Bob Dylan
C．Muddy Waters D．Jann Wenner
22．Who first used “rolling stone” as a name for music
A．Jann Wenner. B．Bob Dylan.
C．Elvis Presley. D．Muddy Waters.

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查冠词的用法。in trouble 处于困境中；lose heart 失去信心。
2．B 考查非谓语动词的用法。devote的逻辑主语就是主句的主语Principal White, 后面有宾语all his energy，所以用现在分词表主动。
3．B 考查动词短语辨析。set up 成立，建立，符合句意。 pack up 包起来；add up 加起来； come up 出现。
4．B 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我不能说自己是最好的，相对而言，我只是比别人付出更多努力而已。definitely意为“肯定地，当然地，明确地”；relatively意为“相对地，比较地”；obviously意为“显然地”；certainly意为“当然，一定”。根据句意可知B项正确。
5．C 考查形容词辨析。acceptable可接受的，与to搭配，符合句意。available 可用的； considerable相当多(或大、重要等)的； practical 实际的。
6．D 考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意可知，reward所表示的动作发生在“donated”这一动作之前，所以用过去完成时；分析句子结构可知，“reward”与“the two nurses”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态。故选D。
7．A 考查动词短语辨析。句意：她新买的电脑使用起来很困难，但她不知道向谁求助。 turn to 求助于；look for 寻找； deal with 处理； talk about 谈论。
8．D 考查动词的时态和定语从句。句意：在过去这30年中，我们已经见证了……，故用现在完成时；stage作先行词，后面的定语从句中缺少地点状语，所以用where。
9．B 考查动词的时态。句意：已经成立一个工作小组去调查这个问题了。故用现在完成时的被动语态。
10．C 考查动词的用法。escape后跟动名词作宾语；由于主语the little boy是burn动作的承受者，所以要用动名词的被动式。
11．D 考查副词用法。根据本句后半部分的内容可知这座岛屿在春天和秋天同样吸引人，所以用equally表示“相等地，同样”。
12．D 考查固定搭配。将句子成分great trouble放回原处，即have trouble(in) doing可知答案是D。
13．B 考查倒装结构。句意：只有在他们讨论这个问题好几个小时之后他们才作出决定。only修饰时间状语从句且位于句首时，主句应采用部分倒装的形式。根据状语从句的时态可以确定主句应用一般过去时态。故选B。
14．B 考查名词短语的连词功能。the first time相当于一个连词，意为“第一次……”。
15．B 考查词语辨析。句意：她假装镇静但实际上在被提问时她十分紧张。 actually 实际上，相当于 in fact, as a matter of fact。
Ⅱ.A
用动物进行试验被人们的舆论推向了风口浪尖，然而，受诸多因素的影响，终止动物实验的道路依然任重而道远。尽管欧洲有严格的法律限制，但是仍然需要另找突破口。
16．C 主旨大意题。文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因，第二段提到欧洲对动物实验的法律限制的效果并不理想，第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物实验所作出的努力，最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于实验的动物的数量，又要改善科学研究的方法，所以C项最能概括文章大意。
17．D 正误判断题。第二段的最后一句提到日本和中国与美国的数据相比甚至更不全面，由此可推知日本对每年用于实验室动物的数据记录有限。
18．B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的内容可知可用“人体组织”和“电脑模型”来取代动物实验。
19．A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的倒数第二、第三句可知，科学家们只分享成功的试验，如果结果与假设不符，所做的工作将不公开。由此可推断不成功的试验不会展示给公众。
B
本文讲述的是谚语A rolling stone gathers no moss.“滚石不生苔，改行不攒财”对滚石音乐的影响以及《滚石》杂志的诞生。
20．A 推理判断题。从第一段的最后两句话可知这句谚语有两种含义，一种是那些不安心待在某个地方的人不会成功，另一种是那些扎不下来根儿的人不负责任。A项指的是经常换工作的人，符合题意。
21．D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知Elvis Presley，Bob Dylan和Muddy Waters都是音乐家；根据最后一段可知Jann Wenner是开办杂志《滚石》的人。故选D。
22．D 细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters.”可知，rolling stone作为音乐的名字最早是被Muddy Waters使用的。
Ⅲ.One possible version：
In order to arouse the students' interest in English learning and enrich our school life, we held an English Handwriting Competition. Many students took an active part in the activity.
However, some students who are poor at handwriting don't want to improve their handwriting. The reasons are as follows：
On one hand, they think that there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting because they can just use a computer. On the other hand, they believe that they are too busy with their studies to find time to practice. Besides, practicing handwriting is so difficult that they can't make great progress in a short time.
In my view, students' beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to themselves. What's more, good handwriting is always appreciated by people, especially by teachers. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the red planet hosted life.
The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1，500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.
“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，” said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
“The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”
Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon(溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing(使淤积) sediment(沉积物) which formed a delta(三角洲)．
“Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us”， said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.
Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.
The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.
Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.
16．The size of the lake found on Mars is ________．
A．80 square miles
B．1，500 square miles
C．3.4 billion square miles
D．300 million square miles
17．When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ________．
A．hot and wet B．wet and warm
C．cold and dry D．cold and wet
18．Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars
A．Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.
B．Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.
C．Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.
D．Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.
19．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A．The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.
B．The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.
C．The discovery can't fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.
D．The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1] It's good to make a mistake, and here is why. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve How can you expand The simple answer is “You can't”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable you see in your world is the result of ________．
[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10，000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10，000 times, but rather had learned 10，000 things that didn't work.
[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.
[4] But this all doesn't mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportunities to try again in case that it doesn't work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don't blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.
[5] There is an old saying that goes, “If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.
20．List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you. (no more than 5 words for each blank)

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.A 考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语动词作状语。非谓语的否定式是在非谓语动词前加not且其动作在谓语动词动作之前已经发生，故用现在分词的完成式，选A。
2．B 表示“某人也不……时”，应该用倒装句型“neither/nor＋助动词/系动词/情态动词＋主语”。
3．B 考查动词词义辨析。publish印刷；出版；distribute分发；分配；represent代表；象征；treasure珍视；重视。由句意“……让几个学生帮着给班内的学生发新书”可知应选B项。
4．C 考查形容词辨析。strange奇怪的；amusing可笑的；curious好奇的；satisfied满意的。be curious about对……好奇。句意：孩子们被警告不要对他们不应该知道的事太好奇。
5．B 考查非谓语动词。句意：填完表格后，将其放入所提供的信封返回给我们。provide 与其所修饰的envelope是动宾关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语，表示“被动和完成”。
6．A 分析句子结构可知，and前后连接的是两个接连发生的动作(“said” and “walked”)，因此考查的是非谓语动词，故正确答案是A，现在分词作伴随状语，表分词动作(turning)伴随主句动作(walked)发生。B项把原句and放在第二个逗号后，前后连接三个接连发生的动作，才可以选；C项从时态上可以排除；D项不定式表将来或目的，不合语境。
7．B 考查动词辨析。function起……作用，发挥功能，运转。句意：厨房通常是家里最忙碌的房间，因此确保它很好地发挥功能很重要。smooth 使……顺利，抚平； pay 付款； measure 测量。
8．A 考查介词短语辨析。at ease轻松，自由自在。句意：简做演讲时总是很紧张；当与他人在一起时，她必须使自己轻松自在。in disguise 假装； at risk 冒险； in relief 欣慰地。
9．B 考查介词短语辨析。regardless of不管。句意：这些国家的人们要求平等待遇，不管种族、宗教或性别。
10．B 考查动词短语辨析。turn out结果是。turn up出现；turn down 关小，拒绝；turn around 转身。
11．C 考查动词短语辨析。put up张贴，符合句意。句意：运动会的结果将在星期日上午张榜公布。 put away 收起来； put off 拖延； put down 放下，镇压。
12．C 考查介词短语辨析。in case 以防，万一。by nature 天生地；in return 作为回报；by chance 碰巧。句意：我认为我们以前已谈论过这个话题，但是我将再问一下以防万一。
13．A 根据问句中的broken down可知，这两国间有可能发生武装冲突。be likely to do sth 很可能会做某事。注意：四个选项中，只有likely是形容词，在这里用作表语。
14．D 考查冠词的用法。at ease(舒适、快活、自由自在)和lose face(丢脸)都是固定搭配，名词前均不加冠词。
15．D 考查交际用语。句意：“她会介意与她之前的队友们对垒吗？”“不会！她喜欢与任何强劲的选手比赛。”I think so.我想是这样的。I'm not surprised.一点也不奇怪。Of course.当然。Not likely！(大概)不会！此处表示不介意，所以选择D。
Ⅱ.本文记述了美国科学家对火星的探索情况。
16．A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知答案为A项。
17．C 细节理解题。根据第六段中…it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.可知答案为C。
18．A 细节理解题。由原文最后一句可直接得出答案。
19．D 推理判断题。由第一段内容可知火星上湖岸线的发现只是增加了人们发现亿万年前火星上曾经存在生命证据的可能性，但并不能推出火星上现在有生命。
Ⅲ.本文主要介绍了如何看待犯错误。
20．①Trying something new
②Learning something
③Getting closer to success
考查考生搜索信息和概括的能力。由文章的第一段、第二段和第三段可以概括本题答案。由于有词数限制，所以用动名词形式表述。
21．How to make good use of mistakes./Don't forget the consequences of a mistake.
要求概括本段的大意。由本段内容可知，本段主要说明如何利用所犯的错误，而不是盲目犯错误。
22．trying something new
根据本段内容判断，此处需要填写表示“尝试新的东西”之类的内容。
23．Considering the consequences of a mistake.
由第四段第一句可知答案。
24．Limited resources.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.
On average, white collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.
Buried with e mails
Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails.For her, even scanning through these e mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.
Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white collar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.
Solution Not yet
Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e mail management. Yet most white collar workers think their companies can do more.
16．What does the new survey find about white collar workers
A．They spend 51 percent of their work time on meetings.
B．Only half of the information they receive is useful.
C．Over 60 percent of them prefer to use the telephone.
D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e mails every day.
17．Telephone calls cause a problem because ________．
A．they take up the time to receive and send e mails
B．they are often not answered
C．they are mostly not about business
D．they may lead to change of work schedule
18．How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload
A．They start to give staff a pay rise.
B．They plan to employ more people.
C．They provide employees with more advanced equipment.
D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.
19．What is the major issue discussed in this text
A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.
B．Junk mail is causing big trouble.
C．White collar workers suffer from information overload.
D．Better computers are in need in workplaces.

阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months. Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for Westerners during winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
[2]Winter sports such as alpine skiing(高山滑雪)and skating are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
[3]People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings：snow covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing flesh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
[4]The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.
[5]Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high standard places to be enjoyed.
[6]Winter sports are not popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment.
[7]But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world class competition in short track speed skating. This is also true for women's figure skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China ________．
20．What's the best title of this passage？(no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
21．How would you feel while taking part in the outdoor winter sports in snow covered surroundings？(1 word)
________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________
24．What does the word “they”(Line 2, Paragraph 2) probably refer to (2 words) 参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查动词辨析。句意：一个好老师应该留些时间让学生消化知识。digest消化；introduce介绍；receive收到；accept接受。
2．A 考查短语辨析。before long意为“不久以后，很快”，通常用于将来时态的句子中作时间状语。long before意为“很久以前”或“在……之前很长时间”，long是副词，而before既可作介词(后接名词或代词)、连词(后接句子)也可作副词(不接句子成分)，通常用于一般过去时的句子中。shortly after意为“……之后不久”。very fast意为“很快”，主要指速度上的快。
3．A 考查非谓语动词。此题中使役动词get后接的宾语car与作宾语补足语的动词wash之间为被动关系，构成短语：get sth done。故答案选A。句意：在驱车进城之前，你必须将你的车洗了。
4．B 考查动词辨析。句意：如果我们想要获得成功，知识和学习很重要。但是它们或许会限制我们的思维。direct指示， 指引，导演 (戏剧或电影)；指挥(管弦乐队)；limit限制；change改变；improve改进，改善。根据句中but的转折，选B。
5．A 句意：我头痛得很厉害，我必须找个医生咨询一下。consult咨询，请教，商量。
6．A 考查省略用法。在含有ought to句子的简略回答中， 表示过去动作的have不能省略。
7．C 考查动词辨析。句意：如果他能把自己的才能和勤奋结合起来，必定会很成功。combine…with…把……和……结合起来。
8．A 考查固定搭配。on a diet 节食。
9．B 考查动词短语辨析。get away with 逃脱惩罚。make use of 利用；get rid of 除掉；end up with 以……而告终。
10．B 考查动词短语辨析。throw away 扔掉； put away 收起来； give away 泄露(秘密)，捐献； carry away 拿走。
11．D 考查动词短语辨析。cut down 削减。 cut up 切碎； cut off 切断；cut out 切除。
12． A 句意：众所周知，迈克相当清楚他自己的优缺点。strength强项，长处，与weakness相对应。value价值；technique技术；energy精力，能量。
13．B 考查形容词辨析。句意：——你对她所做的事情感到满意吗？——非常满意，她做得再好不过了。 not a little 非常，所以下文应是“她做得再好不过了”。 better 与 not 连用表示最高级含义。
14．B have sth to do 有某事要做； have sth done 让别人做某事。句意：即将到来的周末我有很多事要完成，因此我抽不出时间休息。故选B。
15．A 句意：越来越多的中国人已经意识到他们应该均衡饮食，每天锻炼身体。diet是可数名词，表示泛指要用不定冠词a，go on a diet表示“节食”。do exercise锻炼身体，exercise前不用冠词。
Ⅱ.白领是令人羡慕的一族，可是他们也有苦恼，与工作无关的海量信息让他们苦不堪言。
16．D 细节理解题。根据Buried with e mails中的最后一句可知一些白领每天要阅读至少100封电子邮件。
17．D 推理判断题。Bothered with calls中的最后一句提到员工可能要放下更加重要的工作来处理电话事务，由此可推断打电话可能会导致工作程序的改变。
18．C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段前半部分中的内容可知一些公司解决问题的办法是为员工提供更加先进的设备。
19．C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇调查报道，结合全文尤其是文章第一段的内容可知本文的主要内容是白领深受信息泛滥之苦。
Ⅲ.文章介绍了冬季运动在世界各地的情况。冬季运动在北美及欧洲大部分地区很受欢迎，但在中国冬季运动却不是很普遍，不过中国正在努力赶超世界冬季运动强国，特别是在女子短道速滑方面已达到世界水平。
20．Winter sports
从全文来看，本文第一段介绍了冬季运动在北美及欧洲的流行，第二、三、四段介绍了深受人们喜欢的几项运动及人们爱好冬季运动的原因；第五段写冬季运动为什么被称作“贵族运动”；第六、七段写冬季运动在中国的情况。综合考虑，标题Winter sports能概括和表达出本文的主旨内容。
21．Relaxed/Carefree.
由第三段第二句可知答案。
22．still has a long way to go/still falls behind/is still weak in competition
此处关键词是However(表转折)。前面说“中国在短道速滑项目上已经赶上世界水平，女子花样滑冰也是这样”；However一词暗示或说明后面的项目“不行/很弱”，也就是“然而在高山滑雪项目方面，中国还很弱/有很长的路要走/很落后”。
23．Yes, I think so. Because we have realized that winter sports help build up our bodies, and we will increase
the investment to develop the winter sports.
回答时，先给一个答复。然后，结合文章中提到的进行冬季运动的问题，如冬季运动花费较高的问题等回答原因，这样就很贴切了，如答案中提到“政府增加投资发展冬季运动”就很好，没有完全脱离原文。
24．Winter sports.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Who would have thought that millions of people would buy a product containing living insects？A businessman named Milton Levine did. He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.
Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.
One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.
Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.
The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.
Through the years the toys continued to attract ant watchers. People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites. During his life, Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.
The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.
16．Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine
A．Strong. B．Creative.
C．Loyal. D．Humorous.
17．________ may be studied in the science of entomology.
A．Roses B．Butterflies
C．Tigers D．Sharks
18．Milton Levine got his idea from the following EXCEPT ________．
A．a business newsletter B．the Baby Boom
C．ants parading D．a farmhouse
19．What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A．How to care for the ants.
B．Ants are strong and diligent.
C．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy.
D．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular.
Ⅲ.阅读表达
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they're willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.
Study every day
[2]Language learning is a process of accumulation: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.
Distribute your study time in 15 to 30 minute periods throughout the day
[3]Focus on a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar… So you'll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation or practice including practice in the language lab.
Attend and participate in every class—even if you aren't well prepared
[4]Class time is your best opportunity to practice, learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to ________ the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.
Make yourself comfortable in the classroom
[5]Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you're among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours to get acquainted (熟悉的)：explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.
Learn grammar if you don't already know it
[6]Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.
Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test
[7]If the test will require you to write, then study by writing—including spelling and accents. If you will be asked to listen, then practice listening. Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation—study beyond the point of recognition to mastery.
Develop a good attitude
[8]Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.
20．What is the best title of the passage (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________
21．How much time should we spend in studying new words (no more than 2 words)
________________________________________________________________________
22．Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 10 words)
Class time is your best opportunity to practice, learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to ________________________ the class time.
23．What can we learn from the last paragraph (no more than 30 words)
________________________________________________________________________
24．What does the word “it”(Line 2, Paragraph 2) probably refer to (2 words)
________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 考查冠词。astronomy指学科，学科前不用冠词；space指“太空”，一般不与冠词连用，但有形容词修饰时，应使用定冠词。
2．A 句意：我们完成设计后就该由公司来进行建设了。in one's turn固定搭配，意思是“轮到某人，接着”。
3．B 句意：自这次灾难以来，所有的人，不管是年老的还是年轻的，富有的还是贫穷的，都在尽自己最大的努力去帮助那些需要帮助的人。whether…or…是固定搭配，意为“无论是……还是……，不管是……还是……”。
4．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：如果他们赢了今晚的决赛，队员们将会巡游全城，接受热心支持者的欢呼。A项being cheered正在进行；B项be cheered是谓语原形；D项were cheered也是谓语，但句中已有谓语are going to；C项to be cheered表示将来，同时也表示被动。根据语境，选C。
5．C 考查固定词组搭配。prevent sb from doing sth“阻止某人做某事”，本句中的fishing boats和attack是被动关系，所以选择C项，且此处不用完成时态。句意：中国最近加紧黄岩岛的水域控制来阻止中国渔船在中国南海被袭击。
6．A 考查非谓语动词。find small groups of words puzzling，puzzling作宾语补足语，表示“让人迷惑的”。
7．C 考查非谓语动词。to present themselves to the employers为动词不定式短语作目的状语。
8．C 考查代词it的用法。此处 it作形式宾语，when and where the meeting would be held是真正的宾语。当复合宾语中的宾语是宾语从句时，往往把宾语放在它的补语的后面，而把代词it放在全句谓语动词和宾语补语的中间。宾语补语后面的宾语是真正的宾语，谓语动词和宾语补语中间的it是形式宾语。
9．C 考查形容词辨析。句意：很明显，加强两国的战略伙伴关系与两国以及两国人民的根本利益是一致的。traditional传统的，惯例的；potential潜在的，可能的；fundamental基础的，根本的，十分重要的；secure安全的，牢固的。
10．B 考查动词辨析。句意：获取更多有关如何使用这些工具的信息可以增加你的成功机会。raise举起，提高，筹集，养育；multiply乘，增加；add将……相加，增加(＋to)；gain获得。
11．B 考查状语从句的连接词。此处now that意为：既然。句意：因为当今大多数孩子是独生子，所以他们更加自我。
12．A 考查倍数的表达法。此处结构为：倍数＋as＋adj./adv.。
13．C 考查形容词辨析。句意：丈夫和妻子之间发生了一次激烈的争吵，之后，妻子离家出走，再也没回来。violent激烈的，暴力的。sensitive敏感的；serious严重的，严肃的；strict严格的。
14．B 考查短语辨析。句意：多年来她一直想要封闭那段可怕的回忆，但这一点儿都不容易。live on意为“靠……过活，以……为主食，继续存在”； block out意为“挡住，遮住(光线或声音)；忘掉，抹去(不愉快的事)；塞住，封住(孔、洞)”；bring back意为“带回来，使记起，使恢复”； call up意为“给……打电话，使想起”。根据句意可知B项正确。
15．D 考查情景交际。that depends那依情况而定。
Ⅱ.本文介绍了Uncle Milton Ant Farm蚂蚁农场玩具的发明者Milton Levine。
16．B 推理判断题。从他设计玩具Uncle Milton Ant Farm的相关信息可以看出他极具创新精神。
17．B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects，also known as entomology.”可知entomology是“昆虫学”之意。根据常识可知只有butterflies(蝴蝶)属于昆虫，会在昆虫学中学到，故B项正确。
18．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter.”“The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning.There would be a huge demand
for children's toys.”以及第三段中的“…he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.”等信息可知，他从商务通讯、婴儿潮及蚂蚁搬家中得到启发，发明了这个蚂蚁农场玩具。D项没有提到。
19．C 段落大意题。根据最后一段的中心句“The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.”可知，本段主要讲这个蚂蚁农场玩具除了告诉大家怎么去照顾蚂蚁外，还有更深层的教育功能。
Ⅲ.文章向我们介绍了语言学习的一些好的方法。
20．Tips on Studying a Foreign Language/ Suggestions(Advice) for Studying a Foreign Language/ How to Learn a Foreign Language
全文介绍语言学习的一些好方法，如每天学习不间断、每节课不落下、积极参与课堂训练、培养好的学习态度等，本文的标题应该与此有关。
21．10 minutes.
由第三段可知答案。
22．make full use of/make the most of
课下用功，当然是为了充分利用课上时间。
23．A good learner is one who can learn something from the mistakes he makes.
根据本文最后一段中的“把完美主义留在门口，允许自己犯错误并从中学到知识”可得出答案。
24．Language learning.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
After years of trying to balance work with motherhood, Karl Smith left her corporate(公司的) job behind to start her own business.
It's been over a decade since this mom entrepreneur(企业家) began making cakes out of her family's kitchen. During that time, she has managed to grow Magical Moments & Elite Party Rentals into a well developed wedding planning and rental operation. Statistics show that these kinds of mommy owned businesses are on the rise. Many women say they can't find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home.
Indeed, according to a national study conducted by IpsosReid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, fifty four percent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family is a key reason to leave the corporate world behind.
“Being a mom entrepreneur means trading a typical 9 to 5 work week for a more irregular routine”，says Gemma Moore, a busy mother of two who owns and operates MG Moore Designs, a design company specializing in website, photography and print media.“Finding a business that you can build in the evenings will allow you to spend time with your children during the day and continue your business after they go to school.”
Ninety two percent of female small business owners say that mobile equipment and computer software can help a mom entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, ninety five percent agree that small business owners need to be_more_technology savvy than ever before. The more technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses.
“Balance is a key aspect for most entrepreneurs, but this is especially true for women”， says Ruth Bastedo, President of Women Entrepreneurs of Canada(WEC). “Entrepreneurs recognize that today's technology can help them to find work/life balance while still providing them with the tools and materials they need to grow their businesses more effectively.”
16．Many female employees left their corporate jobs in order to________．
A．master more and more technologyB．support their family in a better way
C．look after their children more carefullyD．carry out their responsibilities as housewives
17．What can we know about Gemma Moore from the passage
A．She has two companies of her own.B．She was once doing trade business.
C．She does not work in the daytime.D．She can arrange her time more properly.
18．The underlined part “be more technology savvy”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”．
A．save more hours for technologyB．spend less money on technology
C．have a better knowledge of technologyD．find a better balance in the technical field
19．The passage mainly tells us that ________．
A．most women can hardly find suitable workB．new technology can help women to find work
C．Karl Smith has started her own business at home
D．mommy owned businesses can balance work and life
Ⅲ.阅读表达
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装)．
[2]On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
[3]One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”， which sounded ominous(不吉利的)．
[4]Christmas was coming. “Don't expect any presents this year，” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.
[5]The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What He's all right？” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home！”
[6] “Thank God！” I heard Mum cry.
[7]From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. ________； they were filled with love!
20．What is the passage mainly about (no more than 5 words)

24．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 7 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.A 考查动词辨析。apply to适用于。答句句意：但是务必记住这条规则不能适用于每一种情况。
2．D 第一空前的suggest意为“表明”，其后的宾语从句用陈述语气；第二空前的suggest意为“建议”，其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气， should do, 其中should 可以省略，故D项正确。句意：医疗检查结果表明我父亲健康状况很糟糕，因此医生建议他戒掉烟，多锻炼。
3．D 考查虚拟语气。第二个说话人的if条件句是选择的关键。如果当时下一点雨，现在的情况就好得多了！我的蔬菜也就不会死了。过去没有下雨，所以我的蔬菜干死了，也是发生在过去。故表示与过去情况相反，而将句子还原则为If it had rained even a drop，my vegetables wouldn't have died.。
4．D 考查固定用法。there shouldn't be any doubt 不应该有任何怀疑。
5．B 考查冠词的用法。句意：许多生活方式对人类的健康有害，它们加速了人类身体的衰弱。“对……有害”用短语“do harm to”表示，中间无需加冠词；之后的weakening是动词的 ing形式表示抽象的概念，需要加上the。
6．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：在政府的援助下，那些遭受地震灾害影响的人们已经搬进了新居。非谓语动词在句中担当定语，修饰句子主语those。
7．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：大部分父母重在关心他们孩子在考试中所取得的成绩，而很少注意他们的心理健康。本句的后半句是介词with的复合结构，attention和pay之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词表示被动。
8．B 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当看到这么多的海外同胞安然无恙地从利比亚回国之后，我们都有一种如释重负的感觉。security保障，安全感；relief轻松，宽心，慰藉；emergency紧急情况，突发事件；achievement完成，业绩，成就。
9．D 考查非谓语动词的用法。appreciate后加动名词，根据句意应是“被给”，故用动名词完成式的被动式。句意：两年前我很珍惜给我出国留学的机会。
10．A 考查非谓语动词的用法。此处containing意为“包括”。句意：台湾流行歌王最终发行了他的最新专辑《感叹号》，其包含11首新歌曲。
11．C 考查名词辨析。appreciation 感激。句意：感恩节给美国人提供了一个机会表达他们对一年红利和赐福的感恩。 resolution决议，解决；consideration 考虑； reflection 反映，思考。
12．C 考查affect及effect的用法。句意：这项新的法律已经生效了。它肯定会对这个国家的工业有影响。come into effect 开始实施，开始生效；have an effect on… 对……有影响。
13．D 考查动词短语辨析。die out 灭绝。句意：500年前的英语与现在的英语迥异。随着时光的流逝，一些词语甚至完全消灭。 come to an end 结束； come into being 开始存在，形成；break up 破碎。
14．B 考查介词短语辨析。A项意为“任由……摆布”；B项意为“支持；赞成”；C项意为“依据；在……方面”；D项意为“由于”。句意：大部分巴勒斯坦人赞同和平方式，这意味着他们反对暴力行径。
15．A 考查祈使句。句意：你再缺一次课就会不及格了。“祈使句＋and＋句子”表示“做某事……，那么……”。“祈使句＋or＋句子”表示“做某事……，否则……”。根据句意选A项。unless意为“如果不，除非”；but意为“但是”；都不符合句型要求。
Ⅱ.很多职场妈妈选择离职，自主创业，因为这样既可以照顾家庭也可以兼顾自己的事业。
16．B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的后半部分的“raise their family”可知答案选B。
17．D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段Gemma Moore说的话“Finding…go to school.”可知，在照顾家庭和发展事业上她可以灵活、合理地分配时间。故选D项。
18．C 词义猜测题。根据第五段画线部分后面的那句话“The more technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses.”可知，答案选C项。
19．D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是很多职场妈妈为了兼顾家庭和事业，而选择离职并自己成立小规模公司，因为这样她们可以更灵活地分配时间平衡家庭和事业。故答案选D。
Ⅲ.“我”四岁时母亲给了“我”一件特殊的圣诞礼物：人娃娃——我可爱的弟弟Richard。但后来Richard发高烧差点夭折，经医院抢救得救，这使我更加珍爱我的“人娃娃”。
20．A special Christmas gift.
第一段一开始便定义“我”的弟弟Richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。虽然弟弟Richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，这为我们的圣诞节增加了乐趣。
21．He got a baby brother.
虽然表面上是有了一个娃娃，但事实上是有了亲弟弟。
22．Richard.
23．Sad.
从第四段最后两句As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.可知父亲为小弟弟可能会死去而感到十分伤心。
24．But I knew they were not empty
上文告诉我们，“我”的圣诞袜瘪瘪地挂在那里，下文告诉我们里面装满了爱，所以这里承上启下表达的意思是：但是“我”知道里面并不是空的。

The King's School, Canterbury is an independent, coeducational secondary school. There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名单). The school has a long and distinguished history, and it is also one of the oldest charities in the country, providing scholarships to pupils and organizing a Charity of the Term.
The curriculum(课程) at King's is based on strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring and tutorial system, and a wide ranging co curricular programme. However, it is continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques are adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills.
The curriculum is divided into three units: the Lower School(Year 9 ), an introductory year; the Middle School(Years 10 and 11 ), working to GCSEs; and the Sixth Form(Years 12 and 13), taking AS and A levels.
Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 2009—2011; Middle School Academic Guide 2010—2012; Sixth Form Guide 2009—2011 and Sixth Form Guide 2010—2012.
Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels. The well stocked library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week. ICT facilities (including the Internet) are available for all and the whole school(studies within the houses as well as classrooms) is extensively networked.
Pupils are offered extensive career advice throughout their time at King's. Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year. The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London.

阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it's been stolen has been started, with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile phone theft altogether.
[2]The Remote XT system uses software to link customers' mobile phones directly to a secure remote server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e mails. If the owner's phone is lost or stolen, they can dial a 24 hour call centre and have it registered. The handset is then disabled, and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm sounding like a high pitched(尖声的) scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery.
[3]Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally, ________ as soon as the victim gets a new phone, the system designers said.
[4]“By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner the phones become worthless and we will see the market for stolen handsets stopped once and for all，” said Mark Whiteman, managing director of Remote XT. For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a fee of 9.99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average users within two years as mobile technology advances.
[5]According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 percent in recent years, with one third of all UK robberies now solely involving mobile phones.
20．What is the best title for the passage (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________

24．What does the word “they”(Line 4, Paragraph 2) probably refer to (1 word)
________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D take charge of 主管；in the charge of sb“由某人主管”通常由物作主语，而in charge of通常由人作主语。
2．B 考查情景交际。I beg your pardon “请再说一遍，好吗？”当没有听清对方的话，要求再说一遍时的礼貌用语。
3．C 考查非谓语动词。admit doing“承认做了……”；admit to be…“承认是……”。由句意“——他们说你昨晚错过了一个重要的约会。——事实上，如今人们公认那是个错误。”可知，应选C项。第二句意义上相当于people admitted that it was a mistake。
4．C 考查动词辨析。deserve“应得到”，符合题意。reserve 预订； preserve 保存； respond 响应，回应。
5．C 考查主谓一致。当主语后面与with, as well as, but, except, like, besides, including等与名词或代词连用时， 谓语动词与第一个主语保持一致，即在本题中与Large quantities of information保持一致。a large quantity of /large quantities of 后既可以加不可数名词也可以加复数名词，其谓语动词与quantity的数保持一致。由此可以排除A和D。since 引导的从句在主句之后，应是时间状语从句，从句用一般过去时，主句则用现在完成时。故答案为C项。
6．B 考查deserve的用法。deserve to be done 相当于 deserve doing 意为“值得被做”。
7．A 考查副词辨析。regularly 定期地。句意：自从去年新经理接手这个公司以来就没有按时付过雇工们的工资。
8．A 考查动词短语辨析。work out 此处可意为“锻炼”，符合句意。 pull out驶出；give out 用完；figure out 计算出。
9．C 考查动词短语辨析。pick up 好转，康复，符合句意。句意：在良好的治疗下，她开始康复，很快就会回来工作了。wake up 醒来； grow up 长大； show up 出现。
10．A 考查情态动词。句意：他在那里的时候，每天下班后总是去拐角处的那家咖啡店。 would意为“过去常常”； should意为“应该”； had better意为“最好”； might意为“也许”，故A项正确。
11．C 考查动词的时态和语态。由句意“……我认为它(商店购物)将会与家庭购物并存但不会被取代”可知应用一般将来时态的被动语态。
12．C 考查介词短语辨析。A项意为“为了表示对某人的敬意”；B项意为“寻找；搜查”；C项意为“支持”；D项意为“管理”。句意：我哥哥反对我的建议，而我姐姐支持我的建议。
13．A 考查动词词义辨析。charge sb with (doing) sth指控、控告某人(做了)某事，是固定词组。而blame sb for (doing) sth责备某人(做了)某事；punish sb for (doing) sth惩罚某人(做了)某事；scold sb for (doing) sth斥责某人(做了)某事。
14．C 考查动词短语辨析。A项意为“代表；象征”；B项意为“旁观；站在一边”；stand out意为“显眼；突出”；stand up意为“站起来”。句意：在这个名单中，有两个名字特别显眼。
15．D 考查短语辨析。A项意为“一……就……”；B项意为“只要”；C项意为“就……所知；据……”；D项意为“与……一样；也”。句意：人们不但面临敌人活动的危险，还要应对食物、衣物、燃料甚至所有东西严重短缺的问题。
Ⅱ.本文是对一所学校的介绍，包括学校概况、课程设置、教学设施、毕业生去向以及联系方式等。
16．A 主旨大意题。文章第一段的第一句是本文的主题句，所以本文的中心话题是介绍这所学校。
17．C 细节理解题。根据第六段第二句“Almost all go to university，either immediately or following a GAP year.”可知并非所有的学生毕业后立即去上大学。
18．B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的内容可知学生通过GCSEs后，需要进入下一阶段(the Sixth Form)的学习，并不能马上去上大学。
19．B 推理判断题。文章最后的“Click here for more information.”意思是“点击此处获取更多信息”，由此可知本文出自一个“网站”。
Ⅲ.手机被盗一直困扰着我们，因为被盗的不仅仅是手机，还有里面储存的信息。英国的一家公司研究了一个新的软件，致力于解决这一问题。文章对此进行了介绍。
20．Screaming Phone to Fight against Theft
文章开篇点题：A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it's been stolen has been started，下文围绕该部分展开，由此可以确定标题。
21．A new card will be useless and an alarm may scream.
由第二段最后两句可知答案。
22．it can be restored
这里表达的意思是：(发出尖叫后，)手机所存的信息就会被清除，一旦受害者使用了新的手机，那么(所删除的)信息就会(自动)恢复。由此可知答案。
23．In my opinion, it's impossible that this service will stop phone thefts completely because thieves are likely
to use advanced technology to deal with the security measures.
答案不唯一，只要对文章所描述的技术提出自己的观点，并阐述出理由即可得分。
24．Owners.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian(埃塞俄比亚的)teenager about her wedding day.The 16 year old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school’，” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland's President and former U．N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever increasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub Saharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allow them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child's life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
36．In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________．
A．giving an example
B．explaining his opinions
C．describing the poor education system
D．coming straight to the topic
37．What can we learn from the passage
A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C．Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D．Robinson encourages female education.
38．What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education
A．It provides basic knowledge of health.
B．It reduces aging population.
C．It makes people pay more attention to education.
D．It can change people's parenting ideas.
39．According to the passage，one of the most important ways to control high population growth is to________．
A．let girls go away from AfricaB．keep girls in school
C．let young girls remain singleD．keep girls in families
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 考查动词的时态和语态。由make predictions可以看出，动作还没有发生，所以用将来时，演员是被奖励的，所以用被动语态，故选D。
2．D 考查过去分词作状语。remind 和其逻辑主语some drivers是动宾关系，也就是说，司机是被提醒的。尽管被提醒不要酒后开车，一些司机仍然心存侥幸，这十分危险。
3．B 考查动词的时态和语态。in the past few years为现在完成时的标志，主语“thousands of films”和谓语动词“produce”为动宾关系，所以用完成式的被动语态。句意：在过去的几年里，世界范围内数千部电影被制作。
4．C still 应该放在被修饰的形容词前面，而enough应放在被修饰的形容词之后，所以选C，意为：足够的精力充沛。
5．C 考查动名词的用法。此处to是介词，其后him returning为动名词的复合结构。
6．C 考查名词辨析。award 颁奖，奖赏。句意：他被提名为最佳男演员奖的候选人。 reward 酬劳； scholarship 奖学金； result 结果。
7．A 本句为it用作形式主语的句型，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。
8．B 考查副词辨析。actually实际上； especially特别，尤其，其后可以接介词短语； practically实际上； averagely “平均地”。句意：在城市的一些地方，特别是主要的商业区，汽车是不允许进入的。
9．D 考查介词短语辨析。in favour of 支持。in honour of 为了纪念；in terms of就……而言；in view of鉴于，考虑到，由于。
10．A 考查主动表被动形式。在“be ＋ 形容词 ＋ to do”结构中，其后的不定式常用主动形式。
11．B 考查状语从句的连接词。此处while意为：尽管。句意：尽管中国认为人民币汇率合理平衡，但是美国仍对元施加压力。
12．C 考查名词辨析。celebration 庆祝。句意：户外庆祝因为坏天气被推迟了。 occasion 时刻； congratulation 祝贺； challenge 挑战。
13．D benefit from 从……中获益；be awarded the first prize被授予一等奖。
14．D 考查情态动词。句意：——他们本该更细心地准备会议的。——但他们没有这样做。真可惜！ought to have done过去本该做某事而未做。
15．B 考查冠词。第一空为特指“已完成的那份报告”，故用定冠词the；第二空为抽象名词，不填冠词。
Ⅱ.家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让我丧失道德，我将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报，我出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。
16．C 我没有雨伞，因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。fall apart “破碎，散架；情绪失控；(组织)解体；(协议、关系)破裂”，符合语境。break up“(使)破碎”；go away“离开；走开”；fade away“褪色；逐渐消失”。
17．A 由于离婚和失业，我买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起；能支付”。
18．B 根据第三段的开头“I got off the bus…”可知，我在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。
19．B 本句的后半部分提到这把伞是丝质银柄，由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。
20．D 这把伞做工讲究，我以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。
21．C 根据第25空后面的“…for the name on the umbrella.”可知，伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。
22．A 这是在公共汽车上捡到的别人丢失的东西，正常的程序是把雨伞“上交”给售票员。turn in“上交”。
23．A 我“想到”一个主意，决定自己带着雨伞找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮现于某人的脑海中”。
24．D 作者在倾盆大雨中下了车，由此可知作者打开这把伞遮雨时非常“感激”。
25．B 我从电话簿上“查找”雨伞上的那个名字。search“查找，搜寻”。
26．C 我拨通电话后，一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。
27．A 突然有了雨伞的消息，女士自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”，显然不符合语境。
28．B 此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”；declare“宣布，声明”；announce“宣告，公布”。
29．A 这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。
30．B 女士如此激动以至于我当时“忘记”了自己正在寻找工作，径直去了那位女士的家。
31．C 女士接过这把雨伞后，眼中溢满了“泪水”。
32．D 根据本句内容可知，女士想给我钱作为“报酬”。
33．D 第四段提到这是女士已经去世的父母送给她的生日礼物，由此可知这是一把非常“特殊的”雨伞。
34．B 我相信接受了她的钱就会“毁坏”某种东西。
35．D 下一句提到也许是我的善心有了回报，由此可知我“出乎意料地”得到了一份销售经理的工作。
Ⅲ.人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。
36．A 篇章结构题。在本段中，作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题，所以A项正确。
37．C 推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题，但与人口快速增长相比，这算不了什么。几乎所有的人口增长都发生在发展中国家，这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。
38．D 推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在《自然》杂志中写到中等教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。
39．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知，控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。

INCLUDEPICTURE "http://www./uploadfile/2013/0624/20130624092850711.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "http://www./uploadfile/2013/0624/20130624092850711.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINET A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44℃， the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday. The hot weather, which officials said would continue over northern, northwestern and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour mill associations said.
New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7 ℃ on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India.The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47℃ at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state.Summer temperatures have been 4℃～6℃ above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said.
In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday.Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state.
“District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths”， Bhimsen Gochhayat, a government official said. Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states.
India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of wheat in 2009～2010, but there could be a shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the heatwave, said Veena Sharma, Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. “Most of the harvesting is over, but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the extreme weather conditions”，she told Reuters.
India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output, the major summer sown grain, marred by the worst monsoon(季风) in 37 years last year. Weather officials said with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average, there were hopes of heavy rain at the start of the monsoon that would help early sowing of rice, soybeans and lentils.
36．The purpose of the passage is ________．
A．to tell a piece of news of a heatwave
B．to record the highest temperature in India
C．to report the deaths in the heatwave
D．to inform people of a drop of rice output
37．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．The highest temperature in the history of India is 44℃.
B．Schools were closed because of the hot weather throughout India.
C．India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of rice in 2009～2010.
D．India has a good harvest of wheat while the rice output is decreasing.
38．The underlined word “marred” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．
A．dropped B．damaged
C．blown D．followed
39．What is the main idea of the passage
A．A severe heatwave would continue over India.
B．At least 80% people were killed in the disaster this month.
C．A severe heatwave swept India with a great loss.
D．A slight shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons of wheat is due to the heatwave.
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 第一个空考查belong的用法，belong为不及物动词，故应用where引导地点状语从句；第二个空考查定语从句，which引导定语从句，作介词for的宾语。
2．B 考查固定句型。there is no point (in) doing sth意为“做某事没有意义”。
3．D 考查动词辨析。语境表达“机上没有人幸免于难”，故选择survive “存活”。avoid 避开；escape 逃脱；miss 错过。
4．B 语境表达“他的健康状况仍然很差”，故选择remain。prove 证明是；maintain 维持；last 持续。
5．A 考查固定句型。there is no need to do sth意为“没有必要做某事”。
6．D 考查动词的时态和语态。design的动作应该是被动，所以排除主动的A项和B项。design的动作发生在过去，所以排除C选项。
7．C 考查动词的时态。句中前半句中的could 并非是过去时态，因此由后半句中的at the moment这一时间状语可确定时态应该用现在进行时。
8．C 考查动词的时态。第一空表示“(过去某个时间)幸存下来”，故用一般过去时；第二空表示“目前正在迅速恢复中”，所以用现在进行时。
9．A 考查特殊句式。根据前面there be 句里含有否定意义的词little，所以反意疑问句用肯定形式，其主谓应与陈述部分的主谓保持一致，故选A项。
10．A 考查动词短语辨析。句意：就像大部分简单的拼图游戏一样，把它拆开很容易，但是要拼回去就又是一回事了。take apart拆卸，拆开；build up逐渐获得，逐渐建立；set off`出发，动身；deal with处理，对付。
11．A 考查worth的用法。be worth doing “值得做……”，为固定用法，doing主动表示被动，且介词to要带上。
12．B 考查系表结构。remain是系动词，后面要接形容词构成系表结构。stuck是stick的过去分词所转换的形容词，故B正确。remain stuck滞留。
13．D 考查介词短语辨析。in all 共计；in fact实际上；in short 简而言之 ；in return 以……作为回报。根据句意选择D项。
14．D 考查介词短语辨析。in search of寻找；in favour of 支持； in memory of 为了纪念； in honour of 为了纪念。句意：在二十世纪九十年代，许多受过高等教育的年轻人去海南岛找工作。
15．B 考查情景交际。A项意为“别客气；没什么”；B项意为“不完全是”；C项意为“难怪”；D项意为“可以；好的”。句意：——那么你是把你的电话给了她？——不完全是。她说当她自己能买时就还给我。
Ⅱ.全国各地许多大学生毕业之后涌向北京找工作，那么他们的境况如何呢？《蚁族》一书向读者展现了他们鲜为人知的生活状况。
16．C 由第二段的第一句“The book，which is…”可知，《蚁族》是一本描绘了北漂大学毕业生生活的书。
17．A who引导定语从句修饰some young people，who作从句的主语。
18．A 《蚁族》把大学生描述为像蚂蚁那样聪明。describe“描述”，符合语境。
19．B 这些北漂大学毕业生就像蚂蚁，头脑聪明，但是作为个体，他们微不足道。meaningless意为“无意义的，不重要的”，符合语境。
20．B 这本书是根据对北京约600位低收入大学毕业生历时两年的采访写成的。be based on意为“以……为基础(或根据)”。
21．D 这本书是9月中旬出版的。come out意为“出版”，符合语境。
22．C 由第三段中的“how many of these employed college graduates are leading a happy life”可知，截至9月1日，611万大学毕业生中74%的毕业生找到了工作。
23．B 由下一句“……这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中，有多少生活过得幸福”可推知，上述统计资料基本没有反映出这些毕业生的真实处境。
24．A Lian一直想知道，这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中，有多少生活过得幸福。wonder意为“想知道”，符合语境。
25．A Lian希望这本书能够成为一扇展现他们生活的窗户，他们的故事很少有人知道。
26．B 这本书以北京市郊的几个大学毕业生聚居村为背景。setting表示“(戏剧、小说等的)背景”，符合语境。
27．D 那里有许多大学毕业生。a large number of表示“许多”，修饰可数名词的复数，故D项正确。deal的用法为a great/good deal of，表示“许多”，修饰不可数名词；plenty不与冠词连用，plenty of表示“许多”；a large amount of表示“许多”，修饰不可数名词。
28．A 由下文可推知，这些大学毕业生多数在中小企业工作。故答案为A。
29．A 每月挣不到2000块钱。
30．C 由冒号后面的内容可知，他们住在一起是因为这样花钱少。
31．D 由下文“has around 3，000 ______ villagers”可知，唐家岭是一个小村庄。
32．A 由下文“but has become a home for more than 50，000 migrants”可知，外来人口已超过5万人，故大约3，000人应是本地的村民。original意为“原来的，起初的”，与语境相符。
33．C 由上下文可知，5万多外来人口多数是全国各地高校的毕业生。graduate from意为“毕业于”。
34．B 这些学生住的都是当地农民修建的五六层高的楼房，每个房间在10平方米左右，两三个人挤一间。这里说的是学生住的地方，即宿舍。
35．A 多达七八十人共用一间卫生间和厨房。share“共用，合用”，符合语境，故选A。
Ⅲ.一场罕见的热浪席卷了印度，给其造成了巨大损失。
36．A 作者意图题。本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段第一句点明了文章的中心话题，根据本句内容可知文章的目的是报道一条关于热浪席卷印度的新闻。
37．D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的开头部分可知印度的小麦喜获丰收；最后一段的开头部分提到印度正依靠小麦丰产来弥补大米产量降低14.2%的损失，由此可推知印度的大米产量在下降。
38．B 词义猜测题。大米是印度最主要的夏季种植的农作物，去年受37年来最严重的季风的“毁坏”，产量下降14.2%。故选B项。
39．C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段是文章的中心段，根据该段内容可知文章主要讲的是一场严重的热浪席卷印度后对其造成的巨大损失。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Donald had his own difficulties sleeping that night. Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare(噩梦) that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. Yet he couldn't turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽声) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.
Donald didn't want his mother to be upset, but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake. It meant he wasn't alone in the dark. Though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.
Suddenly there was a crash. Their living room window is shattered(打碎) by 125 mile an hour winds. Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. He did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him.
Soon water was seeping(渗透) into the single floor house.Quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level. At Donald's insistence, they pushed their way through the water—now chest high—toward the front door. When they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins.
It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod(杆). She's breathing hard, shouting that she couldn't swim.
Donald called out，“Mom! Hold on！” Just then Donald also caught a floating wood board.

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 句意：我们的实验陷入了困境，于是我们冒险尝试添加更多的水，幸运的是我们成功了。get into trouble陷入困境；take a chance冒险，冒险一试。
2．A 考查非谓语动词。permit sb to do sth允许某人做某事，该句是考查这一结构的被动形式，且“passengers”与“carry”之间为主动关系，故A项正确。
3．C 考查介词词组辨析。此处根据句意“布朗说他一点都不恼，相反，他很高兴能被大家所理解”可知，空格处表示“相反”的含义，所以用on the contrary。all in all表示“总而言之”；for one thing表示“一方面”，常与for another连用；by the way表示“顺便说一下”，都与语境不符，所以选C项。
4．C 考查动词短语辨析。account for 对……做出解释，导致。句意：——杰克最近不能专心于他的学习。——是的，那也许导致了他上次考试的低分。stand for 代表； apply for 申请得到； call for 需要。
5．A 考查状语从句的连接词。whenever无论何时； however然而； whichever哪一个； wherever 无论哪里。请打电话给我的秘书安排今天下午的会议，或者在任何你方便的时候。关系副词在后句中充当状语，根据语境可知是指时间，选A。
6．C 考查动词辨析。句意：此项法律通过后，那个州的犯人允许每天有两个小时的户外活动。permit许可，允许。promise允诺；agree同意；admit承认。
7．B 考查spot 短语的用法。句意：当那个人试图闯入银行时，他被警察当场抓获了。on the spot 在现场，当场，与本句的语境一致；in a spot陷入困境；off the spot 不准确，离题；而D项是一个不存在的结构。
8．A 考查表语从句。根据前一分句可知安娜被安排在厦门，因此这里将是她成长的地方。where引导表语从句，并在从句中作状语。
9．B if not 不然，要不；if so如果那样；if necessary 如果有必要；if possible 如果有可能。根据语境，选择B。
10．B 考查时间状语从句的连接词。此处是when引导时间状语从句。句意：——昨晚你们的航班很晚才到。——是的，我们的飞机最后到达济南的时候，已是午夜。
11．A 考查介词短语。从题干中的some even are millionaires可推知前半句的意思是：你不能根据穿着来判断一个人，因为不是所有衣衫褴褛的人都是乞丐。in rags衣衫褴褛；in short总之；in public公开地；in black穿着黑色衣服。
12．B 考查名词词义辨析。句意：计算机电源现在允许自动检索指纹档案，以匹配在犯罪现场获得的指纹。stage舞台，戏剧；scene景色，风景，现场；location位置，场所，所在地；occasion时机，场合。
13．D 考查动词短语辨析。句意：该公司正试图通过各种手段来降低其产品的批发价格。pull down毁；毁坏；put down记下，放下；镇压，平定；set down卸下，放下，记下；bring down击落，打下，降低(物价、温度等)。
14．D 根据句意“有人拍了拍他的肩膀”发生在“他正要告诉我那个秘密”时可知，应用并列连词when，相当于at that time。
15．A 由No，not at all“一点也不介意”推知，此处指允许对方“问吧”。
Ⅱ.作者在埃及旅游时遇到两个乞讨的孩子。在作者给他们买下食物后，他们不断地为作者祈祷，希望安拉保佑作者。作者由此明白：虽然有时别人不能给予我们物质上的回报，但是他们所给予的精神上的东西是更好的。
16．A 根据文章前面的叙述，“我”从Luxor坐火车去Cairo旅游，在凌晨1点，“我”到达(reach)了目的地Cairo。
17．C 根据下文的“a couple of fast food restaurants would be open there”可以判断出，“我”饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为C。
18．B 由于“我”以前去过Cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down使失望，放下；get down记下，写下；put down记下，均不符合语境。
19．D 出租车把“我”放在了Hardee's对面的街道。短语drop sb off意思是“中途卸客”，符合语境。
20．D 作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。
21．C 根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。
22．B 根据空前后的内容，可以知道这里是并列的关系，作者作为一个经常旅游的人，又在埃及生活过一年，很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又”。apart from(除了……外)；in favour of(赞成)；in return for(作为对……的回报)，均与语境不符。
23．C 根据语境，可以知道“我”对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。
24．D 根据语境可知，“我”为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。surprised吃惊的；regretted遗憾的；appointed约定的，均不符合语境。
25．A 根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道，这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。
26．A 根据语境可知，“我”为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。demand强烈要求；request要求，请求；deserve值得，均不符合语境。
27．B 汉堡包准备好时，“我”走到外边(outside)，邀请孩子们和“我”一起吃饭。
28．C 孩子们听到“我”的邀请，发出了令人惊讶的喊声：“不，我们不应待在这样的好地方！”
29．A 根据下文的意思可知，“我”没能(unable)说服那两个孩子进来。
30．B “我”把买来的食物(food)带出了餐馆。
31．A 当那两个孩子拿到食物后，不断地祈祷安拉保佑“我”。只有A项符合文意。
32．B 这里作者要告诉我们原因(why)，“我”为什么一直为那两个埃及孩子祈祷。
33．C 根据上文的“praying that Allah would always bless me”可知，作者也这样祈祷着。
34．D 表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点……
35．A 虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。
Ⅲ.本文是记叙文，主要介绍了一对经历暴风雨的母子的故事。
36．B 主旨大意题。第一、二、三段写暴风雨来临之初母子俩的焦虑心情，后文描写母子俩在雨水涌入房子后往外跑的情景，由此可知，全文主要围绕母子俩在暴风雨中的经历进行叙述，由此判断选B。
37．D 推理判断题。由第一段中“people's constant voices”“the howling winds”“the fearful whimpers of his little dog”和“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother”可判断，环境是嘈杂的，故选D项。
38．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door”和第三段中的“Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother”可知，暴风雨来临之初，Troy (Donald的母亲)是忧虑和害怕的。
39．D 推理判断题。根据最后两段内容“母亲抓住了一根窗帘杆，儿子抓住了一块木板”可推知接下来作者极有可能写他们母子俩如何在暴风雨中自救，如果作者接着写A、B、C三个话题的内容，则显得太突兀，与上文内容衔接不上。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
SYDNEY—Australia's economic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work: Americans.
US citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where China's thirst for iron ore(矿石) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying student from Silver Trowel, a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry, was apprenticed(当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia, where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila，a 23 year old floorer from Camarillo, California made the 14 hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars( US $50.21 ) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the US. He plans to start his own flooring business.
“I can make what I did in a week in the US in less than a day here”，said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.
Australian government figures show just under 7，000 Americans currently work on long term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years.US citizens are now the third largest group applying for so called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers，can obtain a nonrenewable(不可更新的) permit for as much as a three year stay.After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four year stay.
The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six figure salaries while experienced crane(起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the US and Europe, according to migration data.
36．________， a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.
A．As a result of the encouragement of Australia
B．As a result of high unemployment in the US
C．Out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
D．Out of their determination to realize their dreams
37．It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are ________．
A．for skilled workers in some fields
B．for students on the building project
C．especially for American workers
D．especially for those out of work
38．It is implied in the passage that ________．
A．foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia
B．it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countries
C．there are more US citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
D．Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American skilled workers
39．Which part of Australia needs workers particularly
A．North western Australia.
B．Eastern Australia.
C．South eastern Australia.
D．Western Australia.
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查冠词的用法。an airplane泛指“任何一架飞机”；experience作“经历；体验”讲，是可数名词，其前应加不定冠词。句意：在一万英尺的高空从一架飞机上跳下来是一次相当令人兴奋的经历(体验)。故答案为C。
2．B 考查动词的时态和语态。此处指“被说服”，在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
3．A 考查现在分词的用法。从时间状语four years later可以看出，这是过去的一个动作，所以这里相当于and graduated…，因此用现在分词作结果状语。
4．B 考查动词短语辨析。care about关心；care for喜欢；take care of照料。根据句意，答案为B。
5．C 考查非谓语动词。view和句子的主语the city是动宾关系，所以需要用被动形式，因此将A和D排除。B项表将来或目的，不合逻辑，所以选择C。
6．D 考查非谓语动词的用法。此处过去分词短语作伴随状语，not否定不定式，故置于其前。句意：杰克去年上大学离开了父母，决心实现他的目标才回家。
7．A 考查非谓语动词。 ing式形容词表示“令人……的”，常用于修饰物； ed式形容词表示“……的”，常用于修饰人。所以本题应用interested，在句中作宾补。
8．D 考查状语从句。since自……以来，从……以后，引导时间状语从句。句意：据报道，自清华大学建校以来已有一百年了。It is＋一段时间＋since从句表示“自从……以来已有多长时间了”。
9．A 考查名词词义辨析。transport运输，运送，运输工具；service服务；means方式，手段；traffic交通。语境表达“通过公共运输工具出行”，可知A项正确。
10．C 考查名词辨析。attitude towards“对……的态度”是固定搭配。
11．B 考查主动表示被动的情况。句子的主语与其后的不定式为逻辑上的动宾关系时，形容词后用不定式的主动形式表示被动含义，故用 to breathe。
12．A 考查名词辨析。schedule 时间表，进度表。relief 欣慰； budget 预算； concern 关心，担忧。tight schedule指时间表安排得很紧。
13．C 考查名词性从句。句意：我们还没有定下来这个问题——对他来讲是否有必要出国学习。根据句意需要whether 引导宾语从句。
14．B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：预计嫌疑犯会被绳之以法，因为另一个可靠的证人许诺将出庭作证。secure意为“安全的，牢固的，有把握的”；reliable意为“可靠的，真实可信的”；punctual意为“准时的，严守时刻的”；respectful意为“有礼貌的，谦恭的”。根据句意可知B项正确。
15．B 考查短语辨析。句意：——抱歉，我踩到你的脚了。这完全是意外。——才不是！你是故意的。as usual通常，像平常一样；on purpose故意，有意地；at an end完结；right away立即，马上。
Ⅱ.作者偶然翻开卡片，思绪回到从前，恩情永生难忘，世界如此温暖。一张卡片，一位好人，一段美好的人生回忆。
16．C 作者看到这张卡片后，把它“翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turn over表示“翻转”。
17．C 在卡片的背面，有草草的手写的“信息”，字都褪色了。message一般指口头传递的或书写的信息，是可数名词。D项通常指消息、情报、资料等，是不可数名词，故排除。
18．D 看到卡片上的内容，作者的思绪立刻“回”到了多年以前。
19．A 根据第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志”。
20．B 作者当天转了几圈后，最终来到了那家公司。
21．D Mr.Rader总是把作者带到那里，“询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。
22．D 作者像一只落汤鸡一样“抖落”身上的雨水，走进了他的办公室。shake off“抖掉，甩掉”，符合语境。
23．B 他匆匆地看了一眼，发觉作者的窘况后，把作者“领”到壁炉旁。
24．A 本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋，由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。
25．B 参见上题解析。
26．A 他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。pull up“停车，停止”，符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解，吸收”、“开走”、 “走近”，都不符合语境。
27．B 售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋，此处fit用作动词，意为“使适合”。
28．C 这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。
29．D 作者穿上这双鞋站起来后，感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高，in them表示的是in the shoes。
30．C 文章第一段提到作者看到那张“卡片”后，思绪回到了从前，此处与之相呼应。
31．A 根据本句后半部分中的“do to you”可知此空应用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲，勿施于人”。
32．B 他亲切地说：“吉米，我想让你知道我爱你。”
33．A 作者第一次“感觉到”希望的闪现，不管怎样，事情总会好起来的。
34．C 根据上文叙述的Mr.Rader帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。
35．D 世界上有了像Mr.Rader这样的人，就有了希望、善良和关爱，世界也会因此而不同。make a difference表示“有影响，起作用”。前三项分别表示“交易”、“财富”、“选择”，显然有悖文意。
Ⅲ.随着澳大利亚经济的繁荣发展，有越来越多的美国人去澳大利亚寻找工作。他们的发展如何呢？让我们从文章中寻找答案。
36．B 细节理解题。从第二段中的“but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under”知，美国将近10%的失业率导致越来越多的美国人到澳大利亚寻找工作，所以选B项。
37．A 推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段中的“…457 work visas…as well as other skilled workers”可知，457工作签证是专门颁发给高级技术工人的，所以答案选A项。
38．B 从Daniel Davila的例子并结合文章可知，很多美国人在澳大利亚赚的钱要比在美国赚的多得多，由此可知答案为B项。
39．D 细节理解题。从最后一段的“The need for workers is particu larly pressing in Western Australia.”可知，澳大利亚的西部地区急需工人，答案选D项。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
You're lost in the world of dreams and sleep. You roll over, smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate. And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare(噩梦) when someone is screaming, “Get up！” It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!
Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.
Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.
Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.
The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control.Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change.
36．What's the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”？
A．Grades. B．Classes.C．Absence. D．Practice.
37．What can we learn from the passage
A．Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle.
B．Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am as a whole.
C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study.
D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason.
38．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A．Monkseaton High School is satisfied with the result of the experiment.
B．It is very cruel for the teenagers to show up in class at 9 am every day.
C．Monkseaton High School plans to change the school time forever.
D．In fact, teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon.
39．What's the best title for this passage
A．Get up early, teenagers! B．Finally, a school understands teenagers
C．Why do teenagers stay up late D．Differences between teens and adults
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 考查词序。such 与冠词的词序是：such a/an ＋ 形容词 ＋ 单数名词。
2．A 考查“祈使句＋and/or＋句子”结构。
3．A 考查从属连词。句意： 这个女孩几乎没来得及按门铃门就突然被打开了，她的朋友们冲出去欢迎她。故选A项。B、C、D三项在句中不合逻辑，故排除。
4．B 考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们站在那里睁大眼睛监视所发生的事情。pull over意为“路边停车”；watch over意为“看守，监视，照管”；get over意为“克服，恢复，越过”；go over意为“检查，复习”。根据句意可知B项正确。
5．D 考查介词短语辨析。句意：某种程度上我与你观点一致。in the way意为“挡道”；on the way意为“在途中，即将到来”；by the way意为“顺便说，顺便问一下”；in a way意为“在某种程度上，从某一点上看”。根据句意可知D项正确。

7．C 考查副词词义辨析。somehow以某种方式或原因；besides另外，再有；anyway无论如何；therefore因此。由句意“——噢，要看情况而定。无论怎样，它给我提供了一次尝试的机会”可知应选C项。
8．C 考查动词的时态。语境：近十年来，他一直在挖掘他的最大潜能，所以又获奖了。
9．B 考查不定式作宾补的用法。该题的关键是对俗语“a cat on a hot tin roof(像热锅上的蚂蚁一样)”的理解。既然是像热锅上的蚂蚁一样，说明很多问题有待于解决，所以用不定式作宾补，在该结构中相当于省略了for sb.，故选B。
10．B 考查动词辨析。arise from“起因于，由……引起”，符合题意。rise 上升；happen 发生；keep 保持。
11．D 考查副词辨析。totally 完全地。句意：随着他的一切都失去了，他完全地绝望而自杀了。hardly 几乎不； luckily 幸运地；sincerely 真诚地。

13．D 考查名词辨析。application 应用。句意：上个月新的发明将会在工业上广泛应用。 discovery 发现； profit 利润； guidance 指导。
14．A 考查短语辨析。A项意为“结果”；B项意为“总之；最后”；C项意为“更差的是”；D项意为“再有；更有甚者”。句意：我母亲超过了年龄限制，结果她的工作申请被拒绝了。
15．D 考查情景交际。A项是见面打招呼的用语；B项用于委婉拒绝；C项表示非常感谢；D项意为“无论如何，还是要谢谢你”。联系上句“抱歉我未能按时完成”可知应选D项。
Ⅱ.“我”从小与邻里一些不同种族和宗教信仰的孩子快乐地生活在一起，20年后“我”邂逅了儿时的朋友，那种亲切难以言表。如果我们让自己的孩子毫无偏见地和其他孩子建立友谊，那我们会成为快乐的兄弟帮。
16. C “我”对周围发生的误解或冲突感到疑惑。

20. B a stone's throw意为“一颗石头掷出去的距离”，即很近。
21. D 根据上下文，“我们”都接受彼此的不同(包括种族和宗教方面)。
22. B 语境：我们的长辈没有向我们灌输没必要的建议，无论是善意的还是恶意的。well meant意为“善意的”。

27. A “我”向司机说明了“我”的目的地。state叙述，说明。
28. B 司机确认了“我”的目的地，但并没有出发。instructions意为“指示”，在此指“我”所告诉司机的目的地。
29. D 他定定地看着我。anxiously焦急地，担忧地；carelessly粗心地；disappointedly失望，均不合题意。
30. A 根据上文，司机叫的是“我”儿时的绰号，所以“我”对如此熟悉的称呼感到震惊。
31. D 由上下文可知，“我”与Ismail再次相遇是经过较长的一段时间，因此D项符合题意。
32. C “我”感觉到了一种真正的感情，一种难以表达的感情。
33. B 如果我们能让我们的孩子真诚，没有偏见，他们就能与人建立友谊，而不管他们是什么种族或宗教。be oneself显得真诚，自然。

Ⅲ.本文介绍英国一所学校大胆推迟早上学生的到校时间，结果学生迟到、旷课现象减少，成绩明显提高。学校准备投票决定是否永久将这项举措保持下去。
36．C 词义猜测题。根据文章可知，自实行了这项措施后，在truancy方面下降了28%，甚至几乎没有人迟到。这里讲的是实行这项措施的好处，结合四个选项，可知选C。
37．D 推理判断题。依据第五段可知学校推迟学生到校时间是有科学依据的，学生在早上需要更多的睡眠时间。
38．D 正误判断题。依据第六段最后一句推断学生下午状态更佳。学生在上午更易管理(貌似专心听讲)，是因为他们在此时还没有完全清醒。
39．B 主旨概括题。本文讲了一所学校根据青少年的睡眠研究改变学生上学时间的事。结合文章内容可知B项作为标题能够突出本文主旨，又比较新颖。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
You are busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma(毕业文凭) represents a Harvard degree or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University
More and more people are turning to an utter deception(欺骗) like this to land their first jobs or to move ahead in their careers.For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well known university.Registrars(注册主任) at most well known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school refers to them as “special cases”. One well known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says these claims are made by “no such people”．
To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they “attended” or “were associated with” a college or university.After careful checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester.It may be that “being associated with”a college means that the job seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non existent colleges.The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”．The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”．As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.
36．The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________．
A．college degrees can now be purchased easily
B．nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs
C．lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem
D．employers are no longer interested in applicants' actual performances
37．The underlined word “utter” in the second paragraph means ________．
A．thorough B．careful
C．incomplete D．spoken
38．Once finding applicants with false diplomas, most colleges would ________．
A．keep the records of them
B．drive them out of college
C．avoid direct conflicts with them
D．accuse them of such behavior
39．We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities
B．University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school
C．people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in the US easily
D．people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C 考查分词作状语的用法。be concerned about意为“为……担心”。因为两个部分的主语一致，所以其前省略了主语和系动词be。句意：因为担心这名学生，老师打电话给他的家长想查明他为什么如此经常地逃课。
2．A 考查非谓语动词的用法。此处为“with＋名词＋不定式”的复合结构，其中的不定式表示将来的动作。句意：由于有许多难题要解决，经理感觉就像热锅上的蚂蚁。
3．A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：随着城市空气质量持续引起担忧，居民被鼓励少放烟火。concern意为“担心，忧虑”；compromise意为“妥协，和解”；description意为“描述”；emergency意为“突发事件”。根据句意可知A项正确。

6．B 考查动词短语辨析。add to “使(数量)增加；使(规模)扩大”。此处意为“……增加了适应新环境的困难”。make for 有利于，促成；focus on 集中于； devote to 献身于。
7．C 考查连词。in case意为“以免，万一”；as if意为“好像”；in order that意为“为了”；only if意为“只有”。句意：我们市的警官们工作很努力，目的是为了让我们有一个安全的生活环境。根据语境可知，此处用in order that引导目的状语从句。故C项正确。
8．D 考查连词。句意：校规规定，任何孩子在白天都不允许出校门，除非有大人陪同。所以选unless。
9．B 考查强调句型。该句为强调句型的疑问句形式：特殊疑问词＋ is it that…？
10．A 考查同位语从句。request后面的同位语从句对它进行解释说明，不缺成分且意思完整，故选that。
11．B 考查短语辨析。on purpose 故意地。句意：萨姆总是叫错我的名字。你认为他是故意这样做的吗？at present 现在； at the end 在结束时； right away 立刻。
12．D 考查动词辨析。recover from 从……中恢复。句意：小汤姆从震惊中稍一恢复，他的第一念头就是逃跑。 return 返回； absorb 吸收； survive 幸免于难。
13．C 考查固定句型。It/This is the first/second…time that…从句中用现在完成时。
14．A a series of 一连串的。a great deal of与a large amount of意为“大量的”，均修饰不可数名词；C项本身有误，应为plenty of。
15．D “介词with＋宾语＋副词”构成with的复合结构。
Ⅱ.2011年3月11日日本发生了地震。本文叙述了作者在震后亲眼看到的感人故事，从中他感受到了人们的良好品质。
16．A 地震之后，所有车辆都停运了，因此“我”只好走回家。四个选项只有traffic与walk home有关。

19．A 下文说让人们使用他家的厕所(restroom)，因此选A。本题的关键是理解后面的“restroom”的含义。
20．B 他打开自己的家门，允许人们使用他家的厕所。这里用opening表示“打开，开放”。advertise做广告； repair 修理；decorate装饰。
21．D “我”的一个朋友也想帮助别人，于是他站在寒风中，举着个牌子。根据语境判断选D，表示“帮助”。

25．C 很多加油站要么关闭，要么站前排队等待加油的队伍很“长”。
26．A 汽油短缺，而且在“我”前面有15辆车，因此“我”担心自己加不上油。
27．B 最后终于轮到“我”了。it was my turn“轮到我了”。
28．C 此处强调原因，因此选C。因为眼下这个局面(等待加油的车太多)，加油站限量供应汽油。
29．A 加油站的油不多，只能够限量供应，大家来分享这有限的油，这样挺好的。故选A“分享”。
30．A 加油站工作人员的微笑使“我”很欣慰。
31．D 下文说“他擦掉泪水”，由此判断选D。在这个疏散中心，当人们给这个人送来食物的时候，他感激得哭了。
32．D promise 许诺； role角色； action行动； remark话语。此处指他接下来的一番话使“我”感到诧异，因此选D。
33．B 人们给他送来食物，这个人此时内心充满感激之情，因此选B。
34．D 我们旁边那个城市的人们还没有得到过一点儿食物。因此选D，表示“得到，收到”。
35．D 在这场灾难中，从这些人身上，“我”看到的是光明的未来。这里选D，指这次地震。
Ⅲ.现在随着就业的难度越来越大，很多大学毕业生会隐瞒或虚构自己的毕业学校，有些甚至会编造些虚无缥缈的信息来获得一份工作。
36．C 主旨大意题。从全文内容可知，作者主要向我们介绍了现在有越来越多的大学生对自己的毕业文凭等信息进行造假，故答案选C项。
37．A 词义猜测题。从文章第二段内容可知求职者认为拥有名牌大学的文凭，其被雇用的机会大，而且著名大学平均每周都会接到“造假文凭”这种案件，由此可推断，画线词所在句表示现在有越来越多的人开始了彻头彻尾的欺骗。由此可知utter在此处表示“彻底的，十足的”，同thorough，故选A项。
38．C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“…most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly”可知，大多数大学都不愿意直截了当地指出这种文凭的欺骗和造假，答案选C项。
39．A 推理判断题。从第二段第二句可知在美国，雇主重视求职者的大学文凭，青睐那些有名牌大学文凭的人，故A项正确。
