Ⅱ.单项填空
1．The factory produces half a million pairs of shoes every year, 80% ________ are sold abroad.
A．of which B．which of
C．of them D．of that
解析：选A。of which引导定语从句，of意为“……中的”。后半句意为：“其中80%的鞋销往国外”。
2．The schools themselves admit (承认) that not all children will be successful in the jobs ________ they are being trained.
A．in that B．for that
C．in which D．for which
解析：选D。句意：那些学校自己承认并不是所有的孩子都将在他们被训练从事的工作中获得成功。用“介词＋关系代词”结构引导的定语从句，其中的关系代词不能用that，排除A、B两项；根据句意，孩子们应该是为今后的工作受训练，而不是在工作中受训练，所以谓语结构are being trained与the jobs之间应该用介词for，故选D。
3．We visited the factory ________ makes toys for children.
A．where B．which
C．in which D．at which
解析：选B。句意：我们参观了那个生产儿童玩具的工厂。先行词为the factory，在定语从句中先行词作主语，故引导词用which。
4．We all remember the days ________ we studied together at school.
A．which B．that
C．when D．/
解析：选C。句意：我们都还记得我们在学校一起学习的日子。先行词为the days，在定语从句中先行词作时间状语，故引导词用when。
5．This is the museum ________ we saw an exhibition the other day.
A．that B．which
C．where D．in that
解析：选C。句意：这就是前几天我们看展览的那个博物馆。先行词为the museum，在定语从句中先行词作地点状语，故引导词用where。
6．This museum is ________ you visited the other day.
A．that B．which
C．where D．the one
解析：选D。句意：这个博物馆就是前几天你参观的那一个。所填词应作be动词is的表语，且作后面定语从句的先行词，并在定语从句中作宾语，可省略，故选the one。
7．Is this the house ________ he was born?
A．at where B．which
C．in which D．at which
解析：选C。句意：这是他出生的那所房子吗？先行词为the house，在定语从句中先行词作地点状语，故引导词用where或in which。
8．I know the reason ________ he did it.
A．why B．for which
C．in which D．A or B
解析：选D。句意：我知道他做此事的原因。定语从句中reason作先行词时，关系词用why，此时相当于for which。
9．Is this the reason ________ at the meeting for his carelessness in his work?
A．he explained B．what he explained
C．how he explained D．why he explained
解析：选A。reason是先行词，why只能在从句中作状语，而此处关系词在定语从句中作explained的宾语，可以省略，故选A。
10．If you are travelling ________ the customs are really foreign to your own, do as the Romans do.
A．in which B．what
C．when D．where
解析：选D。句意：如果你在一个地方旅行，那里的风俗对你来说完全陌生，那么你要入乡随俗。横线前面根本没有可以作先行词的名词或代词，所以这里用的不是定语从句，而是where引导的地点状语从句。

A．farther; late B．farther; later
C．further; lately D．further; latest
解析：选D。句意：中国教育部建议老师们进一步学习以跟上最新的发展。farther多指具体的“较远”，而further多指程度上抽象的“进一步”，这里是指“进一步”学习，故用further；late“迟的”；later“更迟的，更后的”；lately“最近，近来”，都不符合句意。latest“最近的，最新的”，符合句意。故选D。

A．frighten; frightened
B．frighten; frightening
C．frightening; frightening
D．frightening; frightened

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Our world is getting smaller and smaller. Miss Yamada, whose plane could cover 800 kilometers an hour, flew around the world in less than fifty hours. The newest planes could go 600 miles (one mile equals 1.609 kilometers) an hour, and we are now developing planes that are even faster.
But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world. Magellan's men were the first to make the trip. It took them more than two years to do so by ship.
Magellan was from Portugal, but he sailed for the king of Spain. On September 20,1519, he left Spain with five ships and 240 men. After passing the south tip of South America, they reached the Pacific Ocean, on which they sailed more than one year. Very often they could not see a piece of land for months and they suffered greatly from the lack of food and fresh water. Many of them died of hunger and diseases. They even had to live on sawdust (锯末). Finally in April 1521, Magellan got to the Philippine Islands, where he was killed. His men fled and continued their voyage across the Indian Ocean. It was with the greatest difficulty that they passed the Cape of Good Hope. By the time they returned to Spain on December 21,1521, seven out of every eight men had died. Magellan's voyage proved that men could sail around the world and that our earth is but a huge ball.
1．Miss Yamada could fly around the world in less than fifty hours because ________.
A．our world was getting smaller and smaller
B．her plane was the fastest at the time this passage was written
C．they had developed planes that could go more than 600 miles an hour
D．her plane was very fast
解析：选D。由“whose plane could cover 800 kilometers an hour”可知，Yamada的飞机因为飞得很快，所以能在短时间内环游世界一圈。
2．According to the passage, the newest plane at that time could go around the world in about ________.
A．fifty hours B．thirty-five hours
C．forty-one hours D．thirty-eight hours
解析：选C。由第一段提到的两组数据可计算出最新的飞机环绕地球一圈所需的时间(设为X小时)，算式如下：800×50＝600×1.609×X，解得X约为41小时。
3．Which of the following shows correctly the route by which Magellan's men sailed around the world?
解析：选D。麦哲伦船队航行的大致航线为：西班牙→南美洲南端→太平洋→菲律宾群岛→印度洋→非洲好望角→西班牙。D项所标航线符合事实。
4．Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A．Magellan's Voyage
B．Going Around the World
C．Sailing Around the World
D．The World Is Round
解析：选A。第二段一开头提到“But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world.”，接着讲述了麦哲伦环球航行的路线及在航程中所经历的磨难。
B
As Hong Kong struggles to build an environmentally friendly city, one professor is studying ways to help cut carbon emissions and lower electricity usage by covering the city's rooftops with plants.
Jim Chi Yung, a geography professor at the University of Hong Kong, set up his first green roof in 2006 on top of one of the buildings at the university. He wanted to research how plants and grass covering a roof affect heating and cooling.
The roof was divided into four parcels:_one is bare concrete, and three others are covered with different plants. The first is grass, the second, a perennial (多年生植物) that produces yellow flowers and the third, a shrub (灌木丛). “So far I have been able to figure out quite a significant difference between the three vegetation type in terms of ecological and environmental benefits.” Jim said.
Using infrared sensors (红外探测器) between the plant layer and the roof, Jim found that the planted areas lowered the roof's surface temperature by as much as 26 degrees Celsius. Bare roofs can reach temperatures as high as 50 degrees on a hot summer day because of all the solar radiation they take in, while planted surfaces stay closer to air temperature. In the winter, Jim found, the planted area helps the roof below stay warmer.
For building owners this means the top floors of a building remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so less money is spent on heating and cooling. But people fear that loading roofs with plants will lead to leaks, cracks, mosquitoes and other pests. They also fear the construction cost and maintenance fees.
5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the
passage?
A．Some experts are studying ways to beautify buildings in Hong Kong.
B．The ground floors of a building remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
C．Professor Jim Chi Yung has made little progress in his study.
D．There is still a long way to put the new study into practice.
解析：选D。细节理解题。通读全文可知虽然Jim Chi Yung教授取得了一定的研究成果，但还未解决最后一段提到的居民的各种忧虑，所以要把他的研究付诸实践还需要做出进一步的努力，故D项正确。A项本身表述错误，专家研究的目的根本不在于美化建筑物；根据第五段第一句可知，绿化楼顶后楼房最顶层而非一楼冬暖夏凉，B项错误；根据第三段最后一句及第四段可知Jim Chi Yung教授取得了一定的研究成果，故C项错误。
6．The underlined word “parcels” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．types B．purposes
C．patches D．separations
解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据上下文可知教授把楼顶分成四小块，一块不种植任何植物，另外三块分别用来种植不同的植物。所以选择C项。
7．What is the surface temperature of planted areas on a hot summer day according to the passage?
A．24 degrees. B．26 degrees.
C．50 degrees. D．76 degrees.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段可知裸露楼顶温度为50度，而植物能让种植植物的楼顶降低26度，故有植物覆盖的楼顶温度为24度。
8．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．demand of green roofs may remain relatively low in Hong Kong
B．Jim Chi Yung's study is sure to become popular with people in time
C．Jim Chi Yung has studied green roofs for about seven years
D．the weather in Hong Kong is hotter than any other place in China
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段“But people fear that loading roofs with plants will lead to leaks, cracks, mosquitoes and other pests. They also fear the construction cost and maintenance fees.”可知人们担心楼顶漏水、裂缝、滋生蚊子及其他昆虫，还担心建筑成本及维修费用等。从这些信息不难判断出香港居民对这种“绿色楼顶”还是持怀疑态度，即对这种楼房的需求相对来说还不高，故选A项。

A．You get more experience
B．If you get more experience
C．The more experience you get
D．With more experience
解析：选C。句意：你得到的经验越多，就会越熟练。从横线后面这个分句的结构可判断出本题考查的是“the＋比较级＋主语＋谓语，the＋比较级＋主语＋谓语”结构。
2．Which is ________ country, Canada or Australia?
A．a large B．larger
C．a larger D．the larger
解析：选D。句意：哪一个国家比较大，加拿大还是澳大利亚？the larger特指比较大的那个国家。
3．Alan is a careful driver, but he drives ________ of my friends.
A．more carefully B．the most carefully
C．less carefully D．the least carefully
解析：选D。句意：艾伦是一个细心的驾驶员，但是，在我的朋友当中，他开车却是最粗心的。考查最高级的表示法。由于but表示转折，所以选项A和B错误；由横线后面的of my friends，可知应用最高级。因此答案为D。
4．It looks like the weather is changing for ________. Shall we stick to our plan?
A．the worse B．worse
C．the worst D．worst
解析：选A。句意：看起来天气要变得更糟糕，我们还要坚持计划吗？for the worse固定搭配，“向着更糟的情况(变化)，更不好”。故选A。
5．Tea is considered by some Europeans as ________ popular drink, while coffee comes second.
A．a most B．a more
C．the most D．the more
解析：选C。句意：一些欧洲人认为茶是最受欢迎的饮品而咖啡名列第二。根据comes second可知本句是对饮品的受欢迎程度进行排序，故C为正确答案。
6．It is ________ to travel by air than by water.
A．much more exciting B．a lot exciting
C．much excited D．a lot more excited
解析：选A。考查形容词的比较级。句意：乘飞机旅行比乘船旅行更有趣。exciting用来形容事物，excited用来形容人；而这两个词的比较级前需加more；much与a lot都可以修饰比较级。故选A。
7．—Do you need any help, Lucy?
—Yes.The job is ________ I could do myself.
A．less than B．more than
C．no more than D．not more than
解析：选B。考查形容词比较级的用法。less than“少于，亚于”；more than“多于，超过”；no more than“只不过”；not more than“至多，不多于”。答语句意：是的，这工作超出了我力所能及的范围。more than后接带有情态动词的从句，指“(某事)超出了……的范围”，符合句意。
8．How much ________ she looked without her glasses!
A．well B．good
C．best D．better
解析：选D。考查形容词的用法。look good“好看，漂亮”；look better“更好看”，在比较级前可用much, even, a lot, far等词语修饰。根据句意“她不戴眼镜比戴眼镜好看得多”，所以这里用比较级。
9．As we were watching the football game, we were becoming ________.
A．more excited and excited
B．more and more excited
C．the more and more exciting
D．more and more exciting
解析：选B。根据句意判断，此处讲的是“在看足球赛的过程中，我们变得越来越激动”，应该用“比较级＋and＋比较级”结构。本题的主语是we，所以应用excited，当主语为物时才用exciting。
10．According to statistics, a man is more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer ________ a woman.
A．than B．such
C．so D．as
解析：选D。句意：根据统计数据，男性死于皮肤癌的可能性是女性的两倍以上。本句所用结构是：倍数＋as＋形容词原级＋as，表示一方是另一方的若干倍。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The world's stocks of seafood will have collapsed (暴跌) by 2050 at present rates of destruction by fishing, a scientist said. By 2048, to be exact, catches of all the presently fished seafoods will have decreased on average by more than 90 percent since 1950. The study says the loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) cuts down the ability of oceans to feed the world's growing human population — expected to rise by 50 percent to nine billion in 2050.
Over-fishing also destroys the stability of ocean environments largely，reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter (过滤) pollutants and rebound (回升) from stresses such as climate change. And every species matters when it comes to the ocean's ability to repair itself, says the study.
Dr. Boris Worm, of Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, the lead author, said, “This is what is projected, not predicted, to happen. I am confident we will not go there because we will do something about it. But if this trend continues in this predictable fashion, as it has for the last 50 years, the world's currently fished seafoods will have reached what we define (定义) as collapse by 2048.”
“Every year a higher percentage of the currently fished stocks collapse. We are losing it piece by piece.” Prof Callum Roberts, of the University of York, who was not involved in the study, said，“The animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not merely embellishments (装饰) to be wondered at. They are essential to the health of the oceans and well-being of human society. We need to ban destructive fishing practices and create a network of large-scale marine reserves around not just Britain, but globally.”
1．According to the passage that all seafood will run out in 2050 will ________.
A．make the sea water much fresher and cleaner
B．make it impossible to support more people with the seafood
C．make the whole animals on land die away
D．make the fishermen have more free time to rest
解析：选B。由“The study says the loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) cuts down the ability of oceans to feed the world's growing human population — expected to rise by 50 percent to nine billion in 2050.”可知，过度捕捞造成的生物多样性消失最终将使海洋养活不了增长的世界人口。
2．What bad result will over-fishing bring to us?
A．Destroying the stability of ocean environments.
B．Largely reducing the ocean's ability to produce fresh water.
C．Increasing the ocean's ability to filter pollutants.
D．Making the ocean have no more capability to repair itself.
解析：选A。由“Over-fishing also destroys the stability of ocean environments largely, reducing the ocean's ability ...”可知过度捕捞会破坏海洋环境的稳定性。
3．What is Dr. Boris Worm's idea about the future of the seafood in the world?
A．All seafood will surely run out in 2050.
B．The seafood will become more than now in 2050.
C．Seafoods will not have collapsed if people try their best to protect the ocean.
D．The situation of the seafoods will get much worse than predicted even if people do something about it.
解析：选C。由Dr. Boris Worm的话“I am confident we will not go there because we will do something about it.”可判断C项正确。
4．How should we do in order to protect the seafood from running out?
A．We should encourage the destructive fishing practices around the world.
B．We should regard the animals and plants that inhabit the sea embellishments to be wondered at.
C．We should create a network of large-range sea reserves around the whole world.
D．We should learn that the animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not necessary to the health of the oceans.
解析：选C。在“We need to ban destructive fishing practices and create a network of large-scale marine reserves around not just Britain, but globally.”一句中，Callum Roberts教授提出了两个解决办法，C项与第二个办法吻合。

2．(2010·辽宁高考)Alexander tried to get his work ________ in the medical circles.
A．to recognise B．recognising
C．recognise D．recognised
解析：选D。考查非谓语动词用法。句意：亚历山大试图让他的工作在医学界得到认可。宾语work和recognise之间存在被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语，其实是“have＋宾语＋done”的结构。故选D。

Ⅱ.单项填空
1．An awful accident ________， however, occur the other day.
A．does B．did
C．has to D．had to
解析：选B。考查谓语动词的强调式。do (does，did)可用来加强谓语动词的语气。根据the other day(“几天前”)可知，这个事故发生在过去，故用did；插入语however有一定的干扰作用。句意：前几天，的确发生了一起可怕的事故。
2．The stranger stood up, his sharp eyes ________ on my face.
A．were fixed B．being fixed
C．fixed D．fixing
解析：选C。句意：那位陌生人站起来，犀利的眼光聚焦在我脸上。此处是独立主格结构在句中作状语；eye与fix是被动关系，故选C。

The yearly Academy Awards ceremony was once a private affair. Now, because of television, it is very much a public affair. Hundreds of people gather in Hollywood to see the Oscars presented to outstanding (杰出的) actors, and others involved (参与) in the motion picture industry. Millions more watch on television.
It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners. The names of the winners had been known for months. Janet Gaynor, for example, had won as Best Actress. Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue (塑像). The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehow got that renowned name. A number of explanations have been offered for its origin (由来), but nobody knows the true story for certain.
Nowadays the results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The counting of votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobody except two members of an accounting (计票) company sees the final results.
The information is not kept in open files (卷宗). Winners' names are placed in closed envelopes. The accountants each carry a complete set of envelopes to the ceremony. One set is simply a spare to be used in case something happens to the other one.

Far from the land of Antarctica，a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish's blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of－1.88°C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to－2.05°C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists' next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish's blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange things made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its anti-freeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the anti-freeze fish glycoprotein or AFGP.
4．What is the text mainly about?
A．The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.
B．A special fish living in freezing waters.
C．The ice shelf around Antarctica.
D．Protection of the Antarctic cod.
解析：选B。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了对一种能够生活在南极冰冷的海水中的鱼的研究，因此B项是文章的中心意思。
5．Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?
A．The seawater has a temperature of－1.88°C.
B．It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture.
C．A special protein keeps it from freezing.
D．Its blood has a temperature lower than－2.05°C.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文中第五段的说明可以知道：正是这种特殊的蛋白质使得这种鱼在南极海水中生活而不至于被冰冻。
6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．A type of ice-salt mixture.
B．A newly found protein.
C．Fish blood.
D．Sugar molecule.
解析：选B。根据文中的叙述可以判断出该物质就是帮助这种鱼生活在南极海水中的神奇的蛋白质。
7．What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?
A．sugar B．ice
C．blood D．molecule
解析：选A。词义理解题。根据“Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein.”这句话可以推断出前缀“glyco-”应该和sugar有关。

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.__1__ Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today，Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.__2__ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.__3__ When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric (纤维) to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉)．This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.__4__.
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.__5__ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C．Strauss agreed and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.

Dear Sir，
How are you？As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in the next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others.My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise.Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building but as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully if you could do me favor.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely，

Reading Interests of Senior Middle School Students
Recently a survey has been done to find out the reading interests of senior middle school students. In this survey, one thousand senior middle school students from ten schools in Hubei Province were interviewed. They were asked which they liked reading most among the four categories of English articles: news, stories, popular science articles and articles about learning methods.
The survey shows that more than half of the students like to read news most. Twenty-six percent of the students say that English stories are their favorite. Only seven percent of the students are most interested in reading articles about learning methods. However, the number of students who enjoy reading popular science articles doubles that of those who prefer reading articles about learning methods.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
“The noise made by boats of whale watching tourists may be causing communication problems for the animals，” British researchers said last week.
Whale watching is a popular tourist activity in places where groups of killer whales (虎鲸) live.Every day, dozens of boats filled with tourists go to watch the beautiful animals.Unfortunately, the engines of the boats make a lot of noise, and that may be causing problems for the whales, according to a report in the US science magazine Nature.
The whales travel in groups, and communicate with each other through sonic (声波的) calls that some scientists refer to as singing.The sounds of the boat engines may be creating too much background noise for the whales to be able to hear each other.
The researchers listened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago, before whale watching became popular.These were compared to more recent recordings.
They found that the animals have started to sing for longer than they used to, like a person shouting to a friend across a noisy room.
It is believed that the whales are trying to communicate hunting or_breeding information.Scientists said that, if this is prevented, the future of the world's whale population could be in danger.
“Animals become slow in mind and repeat themselves in noisy areas，”said Volker Deecke, a Canadian biologist.“They have to say things twice or three times in order to be understood.”
The killer whales studied were living off the coast of northwestern America.The number of killer whales in this area has been falling for several years，but scientists are not sure why.
1．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．Singing to others. B．Producing young.
C．Caring about the old. D．Hunting for food.
解析：词义理解题。由第六段第二句可知，科学家说如果这件事情被阻止的话，世界上鲸的数量将会处于危险中，因此推断breeding指的是“繁殖”。
答案：B
2．The passage mainly tells us________.
A．the problems of whale watching
B．how killer whales communicate with each other
