阅读理解（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
A part-time job can build kids’ skills, make good use of their spare time, and fill their pockets. But before your teen goes to work, here’s what you need to know to avoid any accidents.
Do your homework. Before your teen says “yes” to a job, find out as much as you can about the possible employer and the workplace. For example, if it’s a restaurant, shop in for dinner or lunch, and if it’s a supermarket, shop there sometimes. Take note of how the manager treats the employees and whether safety measures (安全措施) are being followed.
Know the laws. Explain laws to your teen so he/she will know if he/she is asked to do anything unsuitable (like working beyond allowed hours). Go to youthrules. dol.gov/states.htm for more information.
Set up your own rules. Don’t just rely on the law. You may need to be stricter. Even if it’s legal for your teen to work until 7 p.m. on a school night, for example, you may want him/her home by 6 p.m., so he/she is not driving after dark.
.Your teen may not tell you how things are going—you’ll have to pull it out of him/her.“How was work today?”is likely to produce a meaningless answer “Fine.”Instead, ask, “Does the manager ever ask you to work after you clock out?”Or, “How closely does your manager watch to make sure you do things the right way?”You need to know whether a kid who was hired to do something innocuous has been asked to do something risky. Sad stories are often heard from parents who say,“When my teen got this job, she was hired as an assistant waiter. I didn’t know they’d put her in the back using a slicing machine (切片机)”.
1. For whom is the text mainly written?
A. Students. B. Lawyers.
C. Parents. D. Teachers.
2. Before teens decide to work somewhere, it is necessary for parents to .
A. learn how to take safety measures
B. do some research about the right job for them
C. make sure they have finished their homework
D. develop a friendly relationship with the employer
3. Which of the following is the most suitable one to fill in the blank?
A. Ask leading questions
B. Follow your teens
C. Talk with bosses
D. Know what the job is
4. The underlined word “innocuous” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. safe B. tiring
C. interesting D. difficult
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. Relations between parents and kids.
B. Laws protecting teenager laborers.
C. How to choose a part-time job.
D. How to keep teens safe at work.
答案与解析
I. 1.D 本题考查动词词义辨析。dissolve溶解；remove去除；resign辞职；disappear消失。
2.D 此题考查关联词的用法。前一分句句意为“我真的不喜欢艺术”，后一分句句意为“我发现他的创作给人留下很深的印象”，这两个分句之间的关系很明显不是因果关系，也不是条件关系，故可排除选项A、B和C。此时的while意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，相当于although。
3.D It’s reported that...意为“据报道……”，it为形式主语，后面的that从句才是真正的主语。
4.B 该题考查句型it takes+时间+（for sb.）to do, it为形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语，其逻辑主语是the connection，它们之间是被动关系，故用动词不定式的被动式。
5.D it为形式主语，that从句为真正的主语。若选A项，则句子应为：As is known to all, the Olympic Games are held every four years.
6.A be doing...when...是一个固定句式。
7.B 句意为“时间已过了半夜时分，只有3个年轻人还待在茶馆里”。
8.B 该题考查引导定语从句的关系代词的选用。句中it为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。the job既是动词do的宾语,又是其后定语从句所修饰的先行词。空白处应填一个关系代词,既引导定语从句,又在从句中作主语。A、C、D项都不是关系代词,均应排除。
9.B what在此引导主语从句，句首的it为形式主语。
10.A 第一个空为that引导的主语从句,陈述事实,it为形式主语。permission为不可数名词,表示“许可,同意”的意思,而permit可作为可数名词,意思为“通行证”。
II. 1. I don’t know (about) that matter.
2.学一门外语非常重要。
3.我发现学英语口语很重要。
III.1.A 由上句可知人们一般认为的和最近的一项研究调查结果之间是不一致的，故选转折副词however。
2.D 由下句知他在1881年回到苏格兰。结合本句他是一个苏格兰人，说明他一直在国外生活。故选D。
3.C 纵观全文，没有“他回来是为开会、写故事或找工作”的暗示，因此唯一的可能是度假。 并且通过下文他每天早上带妻子和儿子去爬山也可看出。
4.A 由下段倒数第二句可知。
5.C 他们一家三口每天早上去爬山。
6.D 本句指在天气变得糟糕之前他们一直很享受这段时光。故选D。
7.B 因为下雨，窝在家中，所以他儿子可能会感到心情很郁闷。
8.C 由下文可看出，孩子在一张地图上画了一个大的十字可知他让孩子画点儿东西。
9.B 当儿子拿着一张地图过来时，他注意到孩子在地图上画了一个大大的十字。
10.D 由本文题目可知，他儿子是在岛的中间画了一个大十字。
11.B 财宝应该是埋在此处的，故用buried“埋藏的”。
12.A 由本句知他突然发现孩子的画中的一个冒险故事。
13.C 他是从儿子的画中得到了灵感，而不是儿子的回答。
14.B 他想让像儿子一样的一个12岁的男孩当探宝的小英雄。
15.A 他的朋友的腿是假肢，故用help，“在……的帮助下”才能走。
16.B 罗伯特一直想在他的作品中塑造一个这样的人，produce“塑造”；而praise“赞扬”，include“包括”，accept“接受”，均不合题意。
17.D 由上文可知，就这样，他创造了这样一个海盗形象。
18.B 这样的一个海盗形象被创作出来或诞生了。
19.A 从第三段和第四段都可看出当时的天气不好——下雨，故选A。
20.D 由第四段中的an adventure story可知。
IV. 1.C 读者对象题。通读全文可知本篇文章是写给父母的。文中多次出现的your teen是提示。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，在孩子决定去某个地方兼职之前，父母应该对孩子要从事的工作做一些调查。homework也有“准备性工作”的意思，在这里相当于research。
3.A 推理判断题。末段主要讲述了家长需要有技巧地关心和询问孩子的工作情况，避免工作中意外情况的出现，故A为正确答案。
4.A 词义猜测题。根据句末的risky可推断，innocuous应该相当于safe。innocuous 的意思是“无害的，安全的”。
5.D 主旨大意题。文章关注的是如何保证青少年从事兼职工作时的安全问题。作者对此给出了一些建议。故答案选D。

V.阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
My late (已故的) father was a great believer in reading the newspaper first thing in the morning，a habit he passed down to me.
Every day，I need news，features and comics，along with the smell of printing ink, with breakfast, even if I have searched the Internet earlier in the morning. When I sit down to eat my bread, the newspaper has to be there. When it is late, my wife says I look lost.
Some need coffee in the morning. I need the newspaper, except when I’m on vacation. Then, I trade the routine for coffee，unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.
However，the sword of Damocles (达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routine—a day may come when there won’t even be a newspaper. My younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go. Maybe not in five or ten years，maybe it will take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.
My younger friends rarely read the print media these days. They want their news either on-screen or in a cool，small package they can take anywhere and read at any time. The iPad and other similar gadgets (小玩意儿) will change our lives，I’m told. Even e-book readers，after a bad start，appear to be back on track because of the iPad.
They insist we’re now in the twilight (衰退期) of the newspaper business and the iPad may help to end it. Such a future is not something I like. Sure，there’s the Internet but it’s just not the same.
So here’s a little exercise for those who don’t want to read the newspapers any more. Buy one，find a quiet corner at home and spare an hour without distractions. Turn off your mobile phone，TV and PC，and lock up your wife，kids and pets. Start reading，from the first page to the last, and all the different sections and advertisements. When you reach the last page，you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.
1.According to the text，the author looks lost when .
A. he smells printing ink and breakfast
B. his father asked him to read newspapers
C. he hasn’t searched the Internet in the morning
D. the newspaper doesn’t come on time
2.The underlined part “the routine” in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.
A. reading the newspaper
B. surfing the Internet
C. eating bread for breakfast
D. hanging a newspaper on the door
3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It is unnecessary to read every part of a newspaper.
B. Reading newspapers is a good way to kill time.
C. Reading newspapers is a great experience.
D. A quiet place is important for reading newspapers.
4. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A. He used to read newspaper in the morning.
B. He never searches the Internet in the morning before breakfast.
C. He was influenced by his father to form the habit of reading the newspaper.
D. He thinks the Internet is the same as print media because both can give him information.
5.The purpose of writing this text is to .
A. show the advantages of reading newspapers
B. persuade young people to read more newspapers
C. introduce the author’s daily life and habits
D. show the author’s preference for newspapers 答案
1. passage 2.burial 3.wooden 4.condition 5.uncovered 6.fed 7.faithfully 8.concerned 9.citizen 10.shares
II. 1.B 本题考查主谓一致中的“意义一致”原则，不定代词either，neither，each，one，the other，another以及所有的复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词应根据意义一致的原则采用单数形式，排除A项。选项C是非谓语动词的一种，不能单独作谓语，亦应排除。根据答语中的时态又可排除选项D。
2.C 本题考查the number of与a number of的区别。“the number of+复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是number,故谓语动词用单数；“a number of+复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是of后的复数名词或代词，故谓语动词用复数。解题关键在于仔细区分哪个是真正的主语。
3.A the whole class指全体学生。
4.B 本题主要考查倒装句。以so / nor / neither开头的倒装句，在时态、语态、助动词、情态动词等谓语形式上，要尽可能与上文一致，故选B。
5.A 本题考查主谓一致及时态。句子的主语是the teacher,后面跟with结构表补充说明，谓语应该与最前面的主语即the teacher一致，所以谓语应用单数，又因事情发生在地震的时候，因此应该用过去进行时。
6.A 句意：起居室干净又整洁，为做饭准备的餐桌也已摆好。with后跟复合结构，a table与lay之间为被动关系，且有already暗示，故空白处应用过去分词表被动和完成。
7.D 考查主谓一致及时态。“A + as well as +B”结构作主语时，句子谓语与A保持一致。此处主语“The teacher and writer（老师兼作家）”指一个人，故谓语用单数。句意：当我们进入房间时，这位老师兼作家及一些学生正在讨论某事。故用过去进行时。
8.A 本题考查主谓一致及定语从句。定语从句的关系代词who指代先行词I，故谓语动词应用am。
9.C trousers作主语时谓语动词用复数。
10.C 句中的burning，shut均作found的宾语补足语,表状态。
11.B drive sb.mad“把某人逼疯”,符合句意。strike“打,撞击,罢工,打动,侵袭”；cause和lead后不能接复合宾语。
12.A 此题考查状语从句的时态。谓语动词uncover和主语causes of cancer存在动宾关系，故用被动语态，排除选项C、D；致癌原因正被揭开，故用进行时的被动语态。
13.A the rest后面谓语动词用单数还是复数,取决于它所指代的事物。如果指代不可数名词,当然用单数;如果指代可数名词,要看它所指代的是单数还是复数,如果是单数则谓语动词也要用单数。
14.D 解答该题的关键是要理解题干结构，把握以every, no, each等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词作主语时的主谓一致以及定语从句中的主谓一致。该题为一个带有定语从句的复合句，句中关系代词who指代先行词teachers，为复数，故谓语动词应该用are；as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词的数要由前一个主语决定；由 every, no, each等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。
15.A out of sight看不见；out of reach够不到；out of order杂乱，出故障；out of place不在原来的地方，不恰当。句意：在火车站，这位母亲挥手向她的女儿告别，直到火车看不见为止。
16.C “this/the pair of+名词”作主语时谓语动词用单数；glasses，trousers，clothes等复数名词作主语时谓语动词则用复数。
17.B There be句型中，主语为多个时，遵循“就近一致”原则，即谓语与邻近的主语保持人称和数的一致。
18.B 考查“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。
19.B 本题考查it作形式宾语的用法。当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词或宾语从句时，往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面，而用it作形式宾语，放在宾语补足语之前。find, make, think, consider, feel等动词不能直接跟不定式作宾语，需用it代替不定式作形式宾语。
20.A 本题考查习惯用语。in good condition “状态（性能）良好”。句意为“虽然这辆车已买了好几年了，但其性能仍然很好”。
III. 1.is 注意主语不是裤子,而是pair。
2.has many a后接单数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
3.has 主语是money,不可数，故谓语用单数。
4.are，is 第一个all指所有人;第二个all指情况。
5.is 先行词为the only one,故定语从句的谓语用单数形式。
IV. 1.B 根据上文“英国大多数商店上午9点钟开始营业”，又根据下文“有些大的食品商店每周有一到两天开夜市，营业到晚上8点”可推出，有些小商店午饭时间通常停止营业一个小时。
2.C 表一段时间用介词for。
3.A B、C、D三项都是行为动词，后面不能跟形容词open。而stay既可作行为动词，意为“待，逗留”，又可作连系动词，后接形容词，意为“保持”。
4.D 由上文中“some large food shops...”可知。
5.C 根据下文“all shops are closed on Sundays”推测，有许多商店每周有一天下午停业。
6. A
7.A can在此表示猜测，意为“可能”。句意为“不同的城镇停业的日子可能不同”。
8.C nearly意为“将近”，常常与all，every，no等不定代词连用，相当于almost。mostly意为“大多数”，常修饰动词。
9.C 与上文“all shops are closed on Sundays”形成对比。
10.D as well意为“也”，相当于too，常用于肯定句中；either意为“也”，常用于否定句中。
11.D difficulty是不可数名词，而few和many修饰可数名词，所以先排除A、C两项。some可修饰可数名词和不可数名词，但不能用于否定句中。
12.B 根据前后意义，which和when不符合；that引导宾语从句，在句中不作任何成分；what引导宾语从句，且在从句中作宾语。
13.D 根据结构首先排除B项。force意为“强迫”，allow意为“允许”，意义不符合。expect sb. to do sth. 意为“期望某人做某事”。
14.B 根据上文大多数商店出售人们可能期望买的东西，说明人们在大多数商店都能买到自己想买的东西，但邮票只能在邮局买。
15.A go into “进入”；break into “破门而入”；look into“深入调查”；steal为及物动词，不加介词into。
16.C take“拿起”。根据常识，到了商店，拿只篮子然后把自己想要买的东西放进里面。
17.A 这里的it指代前面的a basket。
18.D 四个选项都能与up连用，但根据上下文，只能是排队等候在柜台前。
19.A at the cash-desk应该是为买的东西付钱。
20.B 付钱显然要在离开之前。
V. 1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，作者吃早饭的时候必须有报纸摆在那里，如果报纸送来晚了，他就会不知所措。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据该词前面的内容可知，看报纸是作者的日常习惯，再结合该词所在句子的内容：如果宾馆房间的门上没有报纸的话，我才会把这个惯例换为喝咖啡，所以这个惯例指的是读报纸。
3.C 段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，本段主要描述了一个读报纸活动，整个过程在作者看来令人放松而愉悦，这种体验不是现代化的传媒工具所能给予的，故选C项。
4.C 细节理解题。通读全文可知，作者一直保持早上读报的习惯，现在也仍然继续这一习惯，故A错误；由第二段第一句可知，B错误；由第一段可知，C正确；由第六段末句可知，D错误。
5.D 主旨大意题。本文作者介绍了自己爱看报纸的习惯，然而随着现代科学技术的发展，一些电子产品应运而生，使得报纸面临着消亡的可能，但是他仍然认为读报纸是一种美妙的体验。文章的字里行间表达了作者对报纸的钟爱。

Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community,complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries.“Toronto is truly multicultural (多元文化的)，”he said in a newspaper interview.“It’s a city from many places,and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”
Salvatori,aged 23,will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto.He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents.“Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.
Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years.This year,with the help of two fellow students,he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city’s Executive Committee,asking for their support.The proposal pointed out Toronto’s rich variety of national groups,“whose customs include market shopping.”
Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism,the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market.They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly.“A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it,” Salvatori said.“At first it would be an experiment.But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants,as well as a tourist attraction.”
1.What is Fidenzio Salvatori’s purpose of having an outdoor marketplace for Toronto?
A.To provide different forms of amusement.
B.To keep the cultural variety of the city.
C.To inspire its immigrant community.
D.To satisfy its immigrant merchants.
2.Fidenzio Salvatori,with two other students,has got two thousand dollars from the government .
A.to make an experiment
B.to start a marketplace
C.to perform a research
D.to operate a business
3.According to Salvatori,the marketplace may also help to improve Toronto’s .
A.market management
B.community service
C.travel industry
D.city planning
4.It can be inferred from the text that the Canadian government supports .
A.the protection of different cultures
B.the plan of an open-air market
C.the request of merchants
D.the attitude of shoppers
答案
1.majors in 2.president 3.declared
4.memory 5.memorial
1.D 句意为“中国政府声明台湾是中国的一部分”。announce指把人们关心或感兴趣的事公布于众，如消息或新闻等；proclaim通常指将官方的正式大事公布于众；exclaim（因愤怒、高兴等）呼喊，惊叫；declare表示正式地公开讲明某事。
2.C 句意为“等所有的人都上了船，船起航了”。on board“到船（飞机、火车等）上，在船（飞机、火车等）上”。above board正大光明；across the board指全体人员都包括在内；go by the board落空，被放弃。
3.A 本题考查连词及连词短语辨析。题意：既然你有了机会，你就应该充分利用它。now that既然，由于； after在……之后；although尽管；as soon as一……就……
4.C 本题考查declare及相关短语。题意：他宣布了对政府的忠诚。declare for宣称支持；declare against 宣称反对；declare宣布，宣称；declare war on对……宣战。根据词义及题意，应选C。
5.A 本题考查时态。题意：在救援队到来之前，泰坦尼克号已沉没。“沉没”这一动作发生在“到来”之前，故要用过去完成时态。
1.C 联系空格后的Inky以及下文作者提到这只猫时用Inky我们可以知道，Inky是Glen Kruger给猫起的名字。
2.B 联系上文及空格后的playmates我们知道，Kruger生活在农场，一直以猫作为玩伴。
3.C 联系空格前的“My hearing was damaged”我们知道，是农场上机器的噪音让Kruger的听力受到了严重的伤害。其他三个选项也都表示声音，但是sound指一切声音，不是指噪音；alarm表示“发出的警报，提醒”；voice指“人说话发出的声音”。
4.A 联系上文had only cats as playmates我们知道，Kruger只与猫为伴，因此他必须学会与这些动物沟通。
5.A 联系空格后的the house with five other cats我们知道，Inky与其他五只猫同居一室，因此这里用share一词。
6.C 联系下文我们知道，Inky救了Kruger一命，这让它有别于其他的猫，因此说它做了点事情让它不同于其他普通的猫。
7.C 联系空格前的set her apart from以及空格后的cats，再结合Inky所做的事情我们知道，它不再是一只普通的猫。因此我们可以得出答案。其他三个选项均有一定的干扰性。familiar熟悉的；lovely可爱的；outstanding出类拔萃的。
8.B 联系空格后的the wood stove for the night以及下文他的妻子已经熟睡我们可以知道，夜深了，他去地下室把炉子灭掉。四个选项都是shut构成的短语。shut out关在外面；shut off关闭；shut down调小；shut up闭嘴，不说话。由语境和短语含义可知应选B。
9.D 联系空格后的to the top of the stairs我们知道，他从地下室向上爬楼梯，到了楼梯顶部，故选climbed“爬”。其他三个选项，march“前进，行军”，fly“飞行”，struggle“挣扎”，均不符合语境。
10.B 联系空格前的he slipped以及空格后的against an old shelf我们知道，他跌倒了，撞到了一个旧的橱子上，故用hit（hit sth. on/against sth.身体某个部位撞在某物上）。其他三个选项，bend“弯曲”，shake“摇动”，pull“拖，拉”，均不符合语境。
11.B 联系下文的going into shock我们知道，旧橱子把他砸伤了，此处指他躺在血泊中。
12.D 结合上文他被旧橱子砸倒在地，以及后面的going into shock我们知道，他感到自己快要休克了。
13.B 空格前讲到He shouted for help，空格后讲到他的妻子在房子另一头的卧室内睡着了，没有听到他的呼救，因此前后为转折关系。
14.C 联系空格后的内容我们知道，在呼救无果后，Kruger注意到Inky正从楼梯的顶部看着自己。then那时，符合语境。其他三个选项，thus表达因果关系，otherwise表达转折，rather意为“而不是”，均不符合语境。
15.B Inky赶紧跑到卧室门口。“ran”最能表达Inky看到主人处于危险时的焦急心情。其他三个选项，walk“走”，return“回来”，withdraw“后退”，均不符合语境。
16.C 情急之下，Inky赶紧跑到了女主人的卧室门口，用爪子疯狂地挠门。其他三个选项，rapidly“快速地”，suddenly“突然地”，urgently“急切地”，都不能表达Inky救主人的急切心情。
17.B 联系上文的Lying in a pool of blood on the basement floor我们知道，Kruger躺在地下室，因此Inky把女主人带到了地下室。
18.A 联系上文的on the basement floor我们知道，到了地下室，女主人发现自己的丈夫就躺在楼梯的下面。in the middle of “在中间”；at the top of “在顶端”；in the front of “在……（内部的）的前面”。联系Kruger爬楼梯去关灯摔倒在地下室的地面上我们可以排除这些选项。
19.D 联系上文的to the hospital以及spent six months我们可以知道，Kruger在医院住了六个月，然后康复了。Recover“康复”，符合语境。其他三个选项，regret“遗憾，惋惜”，rest“休息”，relax“放松”，均与语境不符。
20.A 联系空后的Kruger’s side我们知道，有了这次经历后Inky再也没有离开过Kruger的左右。
IV.1.B 本题考查细节。根据第一段最后一句话“It’s a city from many places,and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”可知目的是保持城市的文化多元性，故选B。
2.C 本题考查细节。根据最后一段的第一句话的...do a study to find out...可找出同义词research。
3.C 本题考查细节。根据最后一段的最后一句话as well as a tourist attraction可知答案为C。
4.A 本题考查内容推断。根据最后一段的第一句“Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism,the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market.”可知政府是保护来自不同地方的文化的，故答案为A。

A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant,African forest elephant,and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石)，mammoths and mastodons,the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants.They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years.The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species,but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously,many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species,despite the elephants’ significant size differences.The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres.The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons,roughly double the weight of the forest elephant.But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species.However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca,assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois,said,“We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes.Since 1950,all African elephants have been conserved as one species.Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals,the forest elephant should become a bigger priority(优先) for conservation purposes.”
1.One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of .
A.the Asian elephant
B.the forest elephant
C.the savanna elephant
D.the mastodon elephant
2.The underlined word “divergence” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A.evolution B.exhibition
C.separation D.examination
3.The researchers’ conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant’s .
A.DNA B.height
C.weight D.population
4.What are Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?
A.The conservation of African elephants.
B.The purpose of studying African elephants.
C.The way to divide African elephants into two units.
D.The reason for the distinction of African elephants.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

答案
1.Statue 2.basis 3.corrupt 4.poison 5.aware
1.no doubt
2.at the age of
3.rise up against
4.stand in one’s path
5.stop sb.from doing sth.
1.A 第一空考查分词的用法。dress与句子主语之间为动宾关系，所以要使用过去分词形式；第二空为句子谓语，根据时间状语Jan.15，2009，因此要使用过去时。
2.B 考查介词短语的用法。at the cost of意思为“以……为代价”；in case of意思为“万一”；at the risk of意思为“冒……危险”；as a result of意思为“作为……结果”。根据句意可知无法工作应该是生病的结果。
3.B 本题考查情景交际。句意：“我能问你一个私人问题吗？”“当然，问吧。”go ahead强调鼓励、允许别人去做某事。
4.D 从选项上可以看出此题考查的是代词的用法。做题时可以先在空格处填上名词，然后再找出相应的代词。根据句意空格处应该填the approach，所以应该用that指代。
5.B 句意：凯特提前付他款了，这无疑是个错误。no doubt意思为“无疑”；no wonder意思为“难怪”。
6.D There is some/no doubt...为固定句型；doubt用于肯定句时后跟同位语从句不能用that引导，所以选D。
7.D as is often the case为固定句式，as引导非限制性定语从句。
8.B 句意：你尽可随意使用这个房间，只要你过后打扫干净即可。so far as远到；就……而言；so long as只要；in case以防(万一)；even if即使。
9.C 此题需要逆向思维。根据已知的非谓语动词来判断正确的主句。此题中非谓语动词短语作状语，“watching”的逻辑主语只能是“we”而不可能是“the doorbell”，即可排除A项和B项；ring作宾语补足语不能用第三人称单数，排除D。
10.B 句意：“有些地方，妇女被要求挣钱而男人在家里干活和养育孩子。”从该句句意可知此题用while表示妇女与男人两种情况的对比。A项but表示转折，C项because表示原因，D项though表示让步。
1.B make后面接不带to的不定式作宾补，排除C和D；A项搭配不对；feel proud of“对……感到自豪”，故选B。
2.C remind sb.of sth.是固定短语，意为“使某人想起……”。
3.A at all用在否定句末尾，以加强语气，意为“根本，全然”。
4.C Why not do sth.?是一个表示建议的句型，在文中意为“为什么不穿……?”wear表状态，符合题意，故选C。
5.D 由上句中的I don?t like the big English letters... 可判断此处应为smaller。
6.C 该题可采用排除法，不难判断学生抱怨校服“质量”不好。
7.A as在此处作介词，意为“作为……”。
8.D 由句意和结构来判断，此处应用hope；wish也可以接从句，但从句要用虚拟语气。
9.B come up意为“（问题）被提出”，用主动形式表示被动意义。
10.A 因为整个社会都没有意识到校服的重要性，故选A。
11.D be likely to do是likely的固定用法，意为“可能会做”。
12.C 由上下文判断，应用because引导表原因的状语从句。
13.C that在此处引导定语从句，修饰professionals，并在从句中作主语，不能省略。
14.A 由句中的时间状语last month可知应用一般过去时。
15.B 用如此少的钱怎能做出高质量的衣服呢？ money 为不可数名词，用little修饰。
16.D 不定式短语在此处作目的状语。
17.D 表示头衔、职位的名词作主补、宾补或同位语时，前面一般不加冠词。
18.B 不定式短语的被动式在此处作定语，表将来意义，修饰thirty-seven uniforms。
19.A remind sb.of sth.“使某人想起……”。
20.C be proud of “以……为自豪”。
1.D 细节理解题。由第三段的...two fossils,mammoths and mastodons...可知D项正确。
2.C 词义猜测题。科学家们一直在证明非洲森林大象和非洲草原大象是两个不同的物种，它们之间的差异使科学家们大为惊讶。
3.A 细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句话However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.可知。
4.A 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中...for conservation purposes.可知A项正确。
5.C 主旨大意题。全文讲述了关于大象的一项意外的发现。

A
What time is it?Most people are pretty accurate in their answer.And if you don’t know for sure,it’s very likely that you can find out.There may be a watch on your wrist;there may be a clock on the wall,desk,or computer screen;or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby,your body keeps its own beat.Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart,the pace of our breathing,the discharge （排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream,and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape.Even if we ignore it,it’s still going by,ticking away,second by second,minute by minute,hour by hour.So the main issue in using your time well is“Who’s in charge?”We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy.Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time,you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student.Perhaps more importantly,the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies,the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day.Instead,the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time.Rather than letting the day go by,largely without our awareness,what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
36.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is .
A.your slave and serves you
B.your supporter and helps you
C.under your control and obeys you
D.under your influence and follows you
37.The author intends to tell us that time .
A.could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B.could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C.should be well managed for our own interest
D.should be saved for outside interests
38.In the next part,the author would most probably discuss with you .
A.how to keep up with the times
B.how to make up for lost time
C.how to have a good time
D.how to make good use of time

American cities are similar to other cities around the world:In every country,cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.
After World War Ⅱ,the population of most large American cities decreased;however,the population in many Sun Belt cities increased.Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shift（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents（居民）became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents,want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago,people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.
39.What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A.They are alive.
B.They are hopeless.
C.They are similar.
D.They are different.
40.Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War Ⅱ?
A.Because older American cities were dying.
B.Because they were richer and needed more space.
C.Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D.Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
41.According to the 4th paragraph,a great many poor people in American cities .
A.are faced with housing problems
B.are forced to move to the suburbs
C.want to sell their buildings
D.need more money for daily expenses
42.We can conclude from the text that .
A.American cities are changing for the worse
B.people have different views on American cities
C.many people are now moving from American cities
D.the population is decreasing in older American cities

You may have heard the term “the American Dream”.In 1848,James W.Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams.That 19th century “American Dream” motivated (激发起)the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the “Golden State”.
The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next.People from Europe,and a large number of Chinese,arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets.But most,instead,worked as railroad laborers.They created the oldest Chinatown,in San Francisco,and gave the city a Chinese name “the old gold hill”.
In the 20th century,some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through determination and hard work.Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare.
Then,in the 1990s,California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley.People poured their energy into the Internet.This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortunes in America.
Better pay,a nice house,and a rising standard of living will always be attractive.However,the new American Dream is no longer just about money.It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment,improve the quality of life,and promote social justice.
The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has become the model of the new American Dream.After years of hard work,he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a movie superstar and then governor.Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter future.
43.It can be inferred that .
A.America’s golden dream could never be realized
B.America’s golden dream had bought great fortunes to Chinese immigrants
C.each period of time has its own taste of the American dream
D.determination and hard work are the best way to realize the American dream
44.Why did most of the early immigrants work as railroad laborers?
A.Because they could earn more money as railroad laborers.
B.Because they had to make a living by working as railroad laborers.
C.Because they thought railroad was the first step to find gold.
D.Because railroad laborers were greatly honored at that time.
45.The underlined sentence “his story can save the American Dream” (in the last paragraph) indicates that .
A.the dream of seeking fortune in America is easy to realize
B.most of the immigrants to America don’t reach their previous goal
C.the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the common examples of the immigrants
D.the immigrants have made great contributions to California
46.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Wave of Immigrants to America
B.Make Fortunes Abroad
C.Hard Work Leads to Success
D.Changes of America’s Golden Dream
D
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm,though,was beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing,but I decided to go all the same.I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all,it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps（脊背） in the distance.
On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.“She’s trying to help her baby,but on the wrong side,”my father said.At this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly,they let us lead them,sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe—and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes,but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
47.The author says “I’m so glad I did.”（in Para. 2）because .
A.he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C.he experienced the rescue of the whales
D.he spent the weekend with his family
48.The harbour survived the storm owing to .
A.the shape of the harbour
B.the arms of the bay
C.the still water in the channel
D.the long coast line
49.The mother whale failed to help her baby because .
A.she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B.the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C.she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
50.What is the theme of the story?
A.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B.Fishing provides excitement for children.
C.It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D.It’s vital to protect the environment.
书面表达（满分30分）
假设你是李华，在出国交流学习期间，到当地一家电影院看了一场精彩的电影，但在观看过程中发现了一些问题。请你根据下列提示用英语给影院经理写一封信。
（1）因广告过多，影片放映晚点；
（2）影片播放音量过大；
（3）安全出口标得不明晰，存在安全隐患。
答案与解析
1.B while是并列连词，表对比，意为“而，但是”。
2.B 本题考查倒装结构。“So+主语+助动词”表示“确实如此”，“So+助动词+主语”表示“……也一样”。
3.D put away 收好，放好；take down写下，记下；look over从……上面看；察看，检查；carry on继续。句意：吃完饭，经理们回到会议室继续讨论。
4.A 该题提供的四个短语意义较广，解答该题的关键必须结合句子意思进行排除从而得出正确答案。carry out执行，实行；get through完成，度过，通过；take in吸收，领会；set aside不理会，搁置。句意：这是一个好主意，但谁去执行这个计划呢？根据句意可知选carry out。
5.B 由句意“我今天晚上就要动身了，我已经买好了机票。”可知此处表将来,D项为过去将来时,与主句时态不一致。
6.A bury one’s head in books意为“埋头看书”。
7.C 名词position“位置；状况，环境”（=condition)；situation（=condition;state of affairs)“状态，事态”；state“（人或物在环境、外观、心情、健康等方面的）状态，情况，情形”。由语境可知，此处表示的是她的身体状况很差,所以使用state。
8.D get on board the plane意为“上飞机”。
9.C 本题考查短语辨析。in place“在平常的或应在的地方”；in condition“在某种状况下”；in order“按照一定的顺序”；in private表示“在私下里或无人在场”。根据题意“孩子们排成队按照顺序走出去”可知选C。
10.D 考查动词的用法及与句意的结合。last意为“持续”。
11.A guess about表示“猜测”，其后跟的应该是宾语从句。由于do or think为及物动词短语，故空格处既要引导宾语从句，又要在从句中用作宾语，故可排除that;由于没有明确的范围，故可排除which；从句意看该处应指物而不指人，故可排除whom。
12.C in praise of“赞美，赞扬”；in place of“代替”；in memory of“为了纪念”；in need of“需要”。
13.C house在此句中为动词，意为“给（某人）提供住所”。其他选项均不符合语境。
14.A remain意为“剩下，留下”，是不及物动词。leave是及物动词，若用被动结构也对。
15.B （the）police通常用作复数意义指警方人员;search搜(身);search for=look for寻找。
16.B express“表达”，一般用来表达某人的情感、观点等。而此处是“有很多事实表明了……”，tell在此处作“show”讲，指“表明，显示”。
17.D head指最高职位，如headmaster校长，the head of English department (英语系主任);而leader指“领导人物”,是一抽象概念，不可明确指第一把手。
18.A 到现在为止仍然存在。
19.B 根据上句中was,is and will be可知，是指从过去、现在乃至将来的这一段时间里。所以用near指“在近1 000年里……”。
20.C 由上下文可知，英国法官到现在还仍然穿着长燕尾服，正如在许多香港电影镜头里显示的一样，相当于as they are shown...。
21.D 香港曾经为英国的殖民地，所以当然是被迫采用英国的制度。
22.C 作“尽管，不管”解时，despite是介词，后接短语，其他三项为连词须引导从句。
23.A term这里指“术语，专业名词”，此处句意为“尽管封建阶级只是历史上的一个专业术语……”。
24.B accept指“主观乐意接纳”，符合上下文。
25.C keeping不但含有“现在建立”，而且含有“一直沿用”之意。
26.A of no value意为“毫无价值的”。
27.C 由上下文可知。
28.D say goodbye to指“对……说再见”，表达了英国人难以丢掉旧东西的本性。
29.B 此处指英国最早地完成工业革命，进入了新时代，但在思想上却仍然守旧，没有更新。complete比较符合文义。
30.A introduce在这里指“引进”。receive指客观接纳，而此题指他们主观上不愿接纳。
31.B 依上下文可知，forgotten相当于“丢掉”。
32.A 与上文的suspicious相对应。
33.D 指英国不同意英镑融入欧元。
34.B reform符合文章大意，英国惧怕变化、改革。
35.C 英国人不愿谈论改革，因为他们守旧。
36.B 前一句说“我们可以让时间流逝或让它成为我们的敌人”。后句用or表示相反的意思，即：我们可以控制时间，让时间成为我们的朋友，故选B项。
37.C 由全文得知，作者意在告诉我们要充分安排好时间，做自己喜欢的事情，而不是成为时间的奴隶。
38.D 由文章最后一句话“...can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.”可知D项内容正确。
39.C 细节理解题。从文章第一段中的“American cities are similar to other cities around the world...”可知。A、B两项太绝对，D项与文章相矛盾。
40.B 细节理解题。从第二段后四句“In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents（居民）became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）.”可知人们二战后迁向郊区是受了经济和生存空间这两个因素的影响。A项错在并非所有的 older American cities都趋向于灭亡；C、D两项论述明显与原文不符。
41.A 细节理解题。 由第四段中的“Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.”可知答案应为A。
42.B 主旨大意题。由全文特别是最后一段可知，人们的观点因受时代发展的影响而发生了较大的变化。A项说法太绝对，这些变化我们不能简单地以好和坏来评价。C项过于片面，文中提到很多年轻人正往城市迁移；D项与文章最后一句相矛盾。
43.C 推理判断题。短文中提到：19世纪的“美国梦”激发起的是淘金热；在20世纪90年代，加利福尼亚的硅谷涌现出了新的梦想家。新的美国梦却不仅仅只在乎金钱。它还促使美国人进行理性的消费，注重环保，提高生活质量及促进社会公正。由此可推断出不同时期美国梦的主题不同。
44.B 推理判断题。第二段提到：19世纪，欧洲人以及大批中国人涌入美国。在他们的心目中，美国是一个遍地黄金的国度。但现实并非如此，很多人并没有找到黄金，为了生计，大部分移民最终只能做铁路劳工。
45.B 句意推测题。短文第三段提到：贫困生得不到公平的受教育机会，种族歧视盛行，美国梦几乎沦为一场噩梦。加利福尼亚州的州长阿诺·施瓦辛格的成功只是移民中实现了美国梦的典范，使移民们看到了一线希望。此句的表面意思是“很多人希望他的故事能够挽救美国梦”。由此推测可知：绝大多数移民并没有达到他们预期的目标。
46.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，1848年，马歇尔在加利福尼亚州发现了金子，于是人们开始做起了寻金梦。19世纪的“美国梦”激发起的是淘金热。到了20世纪，很多评论家指出，光凭坚强意志和勤奋工作已经不可能发大财。在20世纪90年代，人们对因特网激情高涨，美国梦新的篇章由此揭开。中国和印度的很多商界人士以及年轻精英来此创业，寻求发财致富之路。这场新的美国梦更关注生活质量。由此可知全文的标题是：美国梦的演变。
47.C 词义猜测题。这句话的意思是“很高兴我陪同爸爸去钓鱼了”，正因为如此我才有了值得珍惜的、可回忆的救助鲸母子的经历。
48.B 细节理解题。由第三段的第二句话After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.可知，由于海湾的保护，海港躲过了暴风雨。
49.D 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. 以及They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.可知，鲸妈妈没能救出小鲸的原因是她推错了方向，没有找到出海湾的通道。
50.A 主旨大意题。全文讲述的是作者与父亲救助鲸从而感到幸福的故事，故选A。
One possible version：
Dear Manager,
I’m an exchange student from China.Yesterday,I went to your cinema to see a film.The film was good,but I did not enjoy it because there were some problems in the cinema.
First,the film was delayed as there were so many advertisements at the beginning.It was rather annoying.Secondly,the sound of the film was so loud that I could hardly bear it.Thirdly,the EXIT signs could not be seen clearly,which presented potential safety hazards.And if something terrible should happen,it would be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city,I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema.I’m writing this letter in the hope that you can consider these problems and make some improvements.
Yours faithfully，
Li Hua
