Ⅱ.单项填空
1．The most delicious cake in the world ________ by Mom. Please wait an hour to enjoy it.
A．makes B．is made
C．is going to make D．is being made
解析：选D。考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，make与cake之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以使用被动语态，排除A和C；根据“Please wait an hour to enjoy it.”可知，蛋糕应该是正在被做，故应用现在进行时态。所以选D。
2．If you ring the doorbell when visiting our home, you ________ by our dog.
A．will be greeted B．will greet
C．were greeted D．greeted
解析：选A。考查时态和语态。句意：你来我家如果按响门铃，我家的狗会迎接你的。在条件状语从句中，从句用一般现在时表示将来，主句用一般将来时。来拜访应该是被迎接，故应用被动语态。
3．The boy ________ hot on the forehead, so he must be sent to hospital at once.
A．is felt B．is feeling
C．feels D．has felt
解析：选C。考查动词的时态和语态。句意：这个男孩的额头摸起来发热，所以必须被立刻送往医院。此处的feel是系动词，后接形容词作表语，用主动形式。由句意可知此处是对现在情况的描述，故用一般现在时。
4．Some modern teaching equipment as well as hundreds of computers ________ to ten Hope Schools in South China.[来源:21世纪教育网]
A．were sent B．was sent
C．have sent D．had been sent
解析：选B。考查主谓一致和时态与语态。句意：一些现代化的教学设备连同成百上千的电脑被送到了华南的十所希望学校。本句的主语是equipment，是不可数名词，所以谓语动词用单数形式。过去完成时表示动作发生在过去的过去，因此D项不恰当。
5．I intend to buy that kind of clothes because I ________ that they ________ well.21世纪教育网
A．have told; wash
B．have been told; wash[来源:21世纪教育网]
C．was told; washed
D．have been told; are washed
解析：选B。考查时态和语态。既然是“我打算去买那种衣服”，就表明“有人已经告诉了我那种衣服好洗”，所以第一个空用现在完成时表示过去动作对现在造成的影响或产生的结果；第二个空填wash，是动词的主动形式表被动含义，此时wash well用于表示其主语的状态或性质，不表动作。
6．It is at Chinese New Year that children ________ red envelopes with money inside them.
A．give B．are given
C．have given D．were given
解析：选B。考查时态和语态。句意：在中国的新年，孩子们会收到装着钱的红包。这是对一种习俗的描述，因此用一般现在时。
7．Where and when to have a picnic this weekend ________ yet.
A．was not decided B．haven't been decided
C．are not decided D．hasn't been decided
解析：选D。考查主谓一致和动词的时态。句意：这个周末什么时候去哪里野餐还没有决定。根据句意可知应用现在完成时的被动语态。疑问词＋不定式作句子主语时，谓语动词常用单数形式。故选D。如果是Where to have a picnic and when to hold it两个并列不定式作句子主语谓语动词要用复数。
8．I felt amazed when seeing the room ________ white overnight.
A．had been painted B．had painted
C．have been painted D．have been painting
解析：选A。考查动词的时态和语态。句意：我感到很吃惊，房间一夜之间被刷成了白色。paint和room之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态；paint这个动作发生在“看到”之间，因此应用过去完成时。故选A。
9．The message is very important, so it is supposed ________ as soon as possible.
A．to be sent B．to sent
C．being sent D．sending
解析：选A。be supposed to do为固定搭配，“理应……，应该……”；句中不定式的逻辑主语it，即the message是不定式动作send的承受者，因此不定式应用被动形式to be done。
10．The way the guests ________ in the hotel influenced their evaluation of the service.21世纪教育网
A．treated B．were treated21世纪教育网
C．would treat D．would be treated
解析：选B。考查时态和语态。句意：顾客在旅馆中被招待的方式影响他们对服务的评价。the guests were treated in the hotel 是定语从句，修饰先行词the way，guests 与treat之间是动宾关系，而主句用的是一般过去时，由此可知这里应用一般过去时的被动语态。

A．prevented B．prevent
C．be prevented D．were prevented
解析：选C。句意：这位官员要求这样的事情应该被阻止再次发生。demand后接宾语从句时，需用虚拟语气，即should＋动词原形，should可省略，故排除A、D两项，又结合句意，可知用被动语态，故选C项。
3．The ________ has further increased the tension between the two countries.
A．incident B．exercise
C．accident D．peace
解析：选A。句意：这个事件导致两国关系日趋紧张。incident指附带的“小事件，事端，政变”，符合句意。exercise“练习”；accident“意外事故”，尤指交通事故；peace“和平”。

A．be applied to solve B．be applied to solving

A．What great delight B．How great delight
C．What a great delight D．How a great delight
解析：选C。考查名词和感叹句的用法。delight当“高兴”讲时是不可数名词；当“高兴的人或事”讲时为可数名词，可与不定冠词连用。再结合感叹句的用法可知应选C项。

Can You Go a Week Without Your TV?
WASHINGTON — There are more than 222 million TVs in American homes. And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.
Vespe is the head of the TV-Turnoff Network, the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week.
For TV Turnoff Week, American kids are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year it runs from April 23－29.
“Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious decision，”said Vespe.
Vespe said that most of the kids who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not as much. “They watch more selectively. They do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place.”
One kid who is turning off her television is Sarah Foote, 9, of Virginia.
Sarah admits it won't be too hard to give up TV. She's allowed to watch only educational television, and her favourite show from last year isn't on any more.
Of course, there are plenty of good things about TV: programmes can be entertaining, even educational.
Even so, some experts aren't sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.
“Too much TV is not good. A little bit of TV for young kids is good because it adds to their vocabulary. The bottom line is moderation (节制)，”says Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies kids and reading.
Neuman says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their kids are watching.
They do not set limits on TV viewing. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing there is to do.
What message does Sarah have for other kids?
“It's a very good idea. I survived a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you do not want TV to take up all of your time, ”Sarah said.
1．From the first two paragraphs we know that ________.
A．American TV companies will be turned off
B．American families have more TV sets than they need
C．Vespe has persuaded most people to turn off their TV sets
D．Vespe is an active person in the TV-Turnoff organization
解析：选D。主旨大意题。根据前两段意思，Vespe是一个积极组织不看电视的带头人。
2．The purpose of the TV-Turnoff is to ________.
A．make children watch TV less
B．make children play outside more
C．make children do more homework
D．make parents watch more TV programmes
解析：选A。细节判断题。从文章第五段可知，经过一周不看电视之后，孩子们再看电视的时候不像以前多了。
3．As Vespe said in this passage, turning off TV a week can help children ________.
A．forget to watch TV programmes
B．improve their habits of watching TV
C．place TV sets out of their bedrooms
D．have part-time jobs after school
解析：选B。推理判断题。从第四段和第五段Vespe的话可以推断出目的是改变看电视的习惯。
4．In some experts' opinion, ________.
A．parents should turn off TV for their children
B．parents should direct their children how to use TV
C．children should enjoy exciting programmes on TV
D．children should learn their lessons over TV
解析：选B。细节判断题。从第十一段和第十二段得知。
B
On the night of my birthday, I went to the nearest drugstore to buy vitamins. Even though it was my birthday, I was feeling blue and a bit lonesome. I missed my dad who had passed away four years ago. I just wanted him to be beside me that day.
On my way to the drugstore, I was crying. Once I arrived there, I cleaned the tears off my cheeks and tried to smile when I ordered the vitamins my mom wanted to buy. While I was waiting, I looked around the building and my eyes caught a glimpse of a beggar next to the door. She was with her kid, a cute little boy. They were sitting on the street and I realized it was cold yet that kid just wore an old T-shirt. I felt sorry for them.
When I paid for my vitamins, I glanced at them and started to have an idea. “Why don't I donate some of my smaller clothes. It's my birthday.” I thought to myself. “I had to share something with another that day.” Yeah, I decided, I have to do that. I went home in a hurry. I was so excited to look for some of my smaller clothes.
At home, I told my mom what I had experienced and told her my idea. My mom agreed with my idea. I started looking for some clothes and went back to the drugstore. There, I didn't hand the clothing over myself. I wanted it to be a secret to that kid. So I asked someone to hand the clothes over, then I left that place. But once I went, I heard someone yell “Thank you！” and I hoped it was for me. I felt glad that I could share something on my birthday and that was a big gift for me.
语篇解读：本文讲述了在“我”过生日那天将旧衣物捐献给路边乞丐的经历。
5．The reason why I was crying on my way to the drugstore was that ________.
A．I was asked to buy vitamins in the drugstore by my mother on my birthday
B．I missed my dad who died four years ago very much
C．something sad that happened that day caused my blue mood
D．I felt sorry for the beggar and her cute little kid on my birthday
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“I missed my dad who had passed away four years ago. I just wanted him to be beside me that day.”可知，我因为思念父亲，所以哭了。
6．I donated some of my smaller clothes to the beggar and her kid because ________.
A．it was a cold night and the kid had asked for warm clothes.
B．I liked being thanked by the beggar and the kid on the street
C．my mom asked me to share my old clothes and I agreed
D．it was my birthday and I wanted to do something to share
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段内容“I had to share something with another that day.”可知，捐献衣物的原因是想在过生日那天与人分享一些东西。
7．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．I didn't give the clothes to the kid directly
B．the kid said “Thank you！” to me after getting the clothes
C．my mom supported the donating idea and accompanied me to the drugstore
D．the person who handed the clothes over yelled “Thank you！” to me
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段第四句“There, I didn't hand the clothing over myself.”可知A项为正确答案。
8．What was the correct order of feelings that I had on my birthday?
A．Blue→sad→smiling→sorry→happy.
B．Lonely→sad→sorry→excited→happy.
C．Blue→excited→sad→sorry→happy.
D．Sad→blue→excited→happy→sorry.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据故事的发生、发展、高潮和结束，可以看出作者情绪的变化为“孤独→伤心→可怜孩子→兴奋地翻找旧衣物→感到宽慰”，因此选择B项。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体). They actually feed_off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
1．In the writer's opinion, in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
解析：选C。由文章第二段可知，作者认为报纸的内容会发生变化，会是一些影响我们生活的消息，并将更广泛地覆盖科学研究领域。
2．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.
B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news.
D．What you are interested in.
解析：选D。从文章第三段最后一句“You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read...”可推知，自制的报纸上很可能包含自己感兴趣的东西，故应选D项。
3．From the passage，we can infer ________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspaper
D．the writer believes some media will die out
解析：选B。根据文章第一段第三、四句“Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio”；“Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.”可推知，报纸是与其他媒体并存的，故此题答案为B项。
4．The phrase “feed off”underlined in the last paragraph means ________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off
解析：选A。作者在本段第一句说人们错误地认为各种不同媒体相互竞争，而下一句作者又说“They actually feed off each other”由此可推知，feed off意为“喂养；依赖”。

A．as far as B．as soon as
C．unless D．until
解析：选A。考查连词。句意：根据我的印象，我从来没见过他阅读除报纸以外的东西。as far as I can remember表示“据我所记得的”，符合语意。
3．If she ________ an hour earlier, she wouldn't have been caught in the rain.
A．has returned B．returned
C．will return D．had returned
解析：选D。考查虚拟语气。从“wouldn't have been caught”可知空处表示与过去事实相反，因此从句应用过去完成时。
4．Trucks ________ with food and medicine waited at the border.
A．loaded B．contained
C．carried D．covered
解析：选A。满载食品和药品的卡车在边界上等待。be loaded with“满载”，此处loaded为过去分词作定语。contain“包含；容纳”，不与with连用。carry“运载”为及物动词，直接加宾语。be covered with“覆盖着……”，不符合语境。故选A。
5．As far as I can see, there is only one possible way to ________ the danger.
A．keep up with B．put up with
C．make up to D．keep away from
解析：选D。句意：据我所知，那是远离危险的唯一可行的方法。keep away from“远离”，符合句意。keep up with“跟上”； put up with“提出”； make up to“讨好”。
6．One of the advantages of living on the top floor of a tall building is that you can get a good________.
A．sight B．scene
C．view D．image
解析：选C。考查词语辨析。view强调从某个角度所看到的“景色”；sight“视力，视线”；scene表示自然存在或者布置的景色，场景；image“影像，形象”。故C项正确。
7．You must take everything into ________ when you want to do a difficult task.
A．observation B．regard
C．counting D．consideration
解析：选D。句意：在你想做一项困难的工作时，你一定要把每件事都考虑在内。take sth.into consideration“考虑……”。
8．(2012·新课标全国卷)It is by no means clear ________ the president can do to end the strike.
A．how B．which
C．that D．what
解析：选D。考查名词性从句的引导词。句中it是形式主语，主语从句中缺少do的宾语，故选择what作为主语从句的引导词且充当从句中谓语动词do的宾语。

The celebrity ?名人? footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum.
Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors！ Most visitors find the celebrities' choice of footwear extremely interesting.
Room 2
Most of our visitors are amazed — and shocked — by the collection of “special purpose” shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear.For example， there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much！
Room 3
As well as shoes and boots， the museum also exhibits shoe-shaped objects.The variety is unbelievable.For example， there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes， and Greek wine bottles that look like legs！
The Footwear Library
People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library.Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.

Throughout history, body decoration has been popular although its expression has varied from culture to culture. People decorate their bodies － comb, dye and style their hair; pierce (刺穿) their ears or other body parts; paint their faces; and even tattoo (纹身) parts of their bodies. In this story, a Japanese girl explains why people like body art.
The first time I got my ears pierced was when I was 18 years old. I didn't have any special reason to do that; then I wanted to get them pierced again and again. This feeling came up repeatedly. I thought of three reasons why some people tend to have body art.
One reason why people have body art is that they want to have something that is their own thing and different from what others have. Usually tattoos have some meanings and express their identities and characters. As I had my ears pierced more and more, I felt like that I could distinguish myself more from other people. Also, some people have body art done for a memory like a birthday or graduation from school.
When you have holes pierced or tattoos done, it is unavoidable to feel pain. I think another reason why people have body art is to show their bravery. As you have more holes pierced and tattoos done, you have to endure much more pain.
The last reason is that it may be today's trend. Many have them for fashion, and so do I. And this trend is heading to extremes such as burning or cutting.
Some people say a natural born body is the most beautiful. It depends on each person to decide whether body art is beautiful or not. Like the view of art varies from person to person, the view of body art varies from person to person.
Introduction
It has been (1)________ that people have some parts of their body (2)________.
A Japanese girl's experience
▲She got her ears pierced when she was 18 years old, without any special reason.

I worked for a short time as a cashier (出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. __1__ One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter (柜台). __2__ I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “No”， he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). __3__
“A reward for your honesty，” he said and then turned and walked away.
__4__ I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim (认领) it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. __5__ The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
A. He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet.
B．Later I thought about it again.
C．To my surprise, he took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me.
D. So I didn't return the wallet until the owner returned.
E．I wanted to be honest, so I didn't care much about money.
F．I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.

Dear editor，
I am a high school student. A few days before, one of my good friend told me that he was going to stop school. He said that he wanted to start his own's business. I tried my best to get him to change his mind, and failed. I realize it is difficult of me to change his mind. He is not doing good in his studies. The process is more important than the result is. Now there are only 90 days being left before the test. I am not sure his decision is right or wrong. I'm looking forward to your help. I needed your advice.

What will life be like without wild animals?
Animals are close friends of human beings.Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colourful.Unfortunately, we have heard so many news recently that rare animals, even those kept in the zoo, couldn't escape being hurt, even killed, at which we can feel nothing but shocked.The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.
Therefore, we should study and publicize the information about rare animals, and keep it in mind that protecting animals is the duty of everyone.At the same time, we should take active and effective measures to protect them.After all, protecting animals is protecting ourselves.
Best wishes!
Yours faithfully，

A．contained B．arisen
C．promoted D．aroused

A．keep up B．keep away
C．keep off D．keep back
解析：选C。考查动词短语辨析。句意：草地边缘有一块牌子，上面写着“勿践踏草地”。keep off“使……不接近，远离……”，符合句意。keep up“保持；跟上”；如果选择B项，需要在后面加上from, keep away from表示“远离”；keep back“隐瞒，阻止”。

There her two babies were waiting for her — for __6__， exactly. She was the only __7__ of her babies as her husband had been killed by a hunter.
Arriving at the nest, the eagle gently and softly __8__ the two babies under her big wings. They were __9__ driven to death by cold and the lack of food. Maybe they could not hold on to the arrival of tomorrow. One baby eagle made a __10__ cry, which the other even couldn't make. At the end of that short day, which seemed like a __11__ life, the mother eagle obviously felt that one baby eagle, who stayed under her body, became increasingly cold.
Rather than watch helplessly both of her babies __12__， the mother eagle told her last baby to __13__ her. When she was ready to overlook the white land for the last time, __14__， a gray object jumped into her eyes.
The eagle flew out of her nest to look at it carefully. To her __15__， that was a gray rabbit. She __16__ towards the rabbit. At that moment, the rabbit didn't hide or __17__， but stayed tightly upon the snowfield.
The mother eagle caught the rabbit with sharp claws (爪) and __18__ it. When getting ready to fly away, the __19__ before her eyes made her shocked. Just __20__ the body of the gray rabbit lay four stiff (僵硬的) baby rabbits.
Love is broad and great, yet also cruel!
语篇解读：在大雪纷飞、无处觅食、孩子就要被饿死的情况下，鹰妈妈准备牺牲自己。这时出现了一只猎物，鹰妈妈纵身向灰兔扑去，在那一瞬间，灰兔并没有躲藏或是逃跑，而是紧紧地趴在雪地上。鹰妈妈用利爪攫起并扼死了灰兔，正准备腾空离去。眼前的情景让她怔住了：那只灰兔的身下，躺着四只僵硬的小兔。爱是博大的，也是残酷的。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
The first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609，when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was Daily Courant, which came out in March, 1702.
In 1690，Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was published，the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper published daily in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily newspapers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun (《朝日新闻》). It sells more than eleven million copies every day.
