1. D 由题干可知意思为“很久没有感觉像现在这样……”，所以用现在完成时。
2.D 本题前半句强调的是“我一直乒乓球都打得很好……”，所以用一般现在时。
3.A 句意：江苏人口与1949年相比增长了两倍多。现在的人数接近74 000 000。根据句意，本句指自从1949年以来人口已经增长了两倍多，应该用现在完成时，而且，要注意主语是population(属集体名词)，谓语动词用单数。

11. A 句意：“看啊！雨这样下了多久了？”“三周了。在此地每年这个季节雨一直下个不停是很寻常的事。”根据语境可知，空一用现在完成进行时表示过去开始的动作持续至今还会进行下去；空二用一般现在时表示客观情况。
12. A 句意：直到经过反复讨论之后才能得出结论是否要拆掉这些旧楼来建造一个主题公园。until引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时或者现在完成时表示将来的情况，主句采用一般将来时。
1.Have you ever had / eaten fish and chips?
2. I have just lost my chemistry book. 3. I have never been to the farm before.

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.

When they are brought back to Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure(暴露) to radiation in space. People should not be scared, though, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.
Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables.
Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces(痕迹) of radiation after testing.

For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, there are no dangers of eating something unknown.
Space vegetables are safe, 1 , and good for you to eat.

Space vegetables stay 9 much longer than normal vegetables.
You won’t run the 10 of eating something that may damage your health because none of the genes is changed.

答案与解析
1.is said to be very rich
2.to have been put into orbit
3.believed that he is honest
1.B on Christmas Eve在圣诞节前夕。
2.C 句意：我同意他的建议，条件是他应降低所有的费用。on condition that在此处起连词作用，引导条件状语从句，意为“条件是，如果……”。此短语中只能用介词on，故选C。
3.B work与fill之间是逻辑上的主谓关系且正在进行，故选B项。
4.A finish与work之间是逻辑上的动宾关系且已完成，故选A项。
5. D have sb. do sth.让某人做某事；have sth. done 使某事/某物被做。
6. D have sth. done使某事/某物被做。
7.C similarly“同样地”,符合题意。
8.B have much in common with...和……有很多共同之处。
【语篇解读】作者在饭店中给贵宾服务时不慎 失手，经理在处理完僵局后非但没有指责，反而悉心传授服务秘诀。作者赢得了客人的谅解，对经理的敬佩之情油然而生。
1.D 上一句提到服务员每天都与顾客打交道，出现问题时，服务员有能力用某种方式让事态顺利进行，由此可知让顾客满意是服务员的职责。please“使满意”。
2.A 第一段的开头部分明确提到作者是“服务员”，此处选 A 与之相呼应。
3.A 根据下一句的开头部分可知前来就餐的是一个非常重要的“团体”。
4.B be made up of 表示“由……组成”。本句的意思是“这个团体是由本市时尚界的重要人物组成的”。
5.C 上文提到这个团体来到饭店是为了吃午餐，所以此处表示的是他们舒服地“就座”后。
6.C 这个团体来到饭店舒适地就座后，“点”好了饮料。此处的 order 表示“点饭菜、饮料”。前两项都不符合常识；根据下文可知他们当时还没有得到饮料，所以 D 项错误。
7.B 上一句提到正常情况下，领班负责酒水类服务，本句提到经理让作者在那天下午为客人服务，由此可推断此处表示的是转折关系。
8．C 本句后半部分提到作者也从未给 12 个人的团体提供过服务，而且本句后半句又是倒装结构，由此可知前半部分表示的同样是否定意义，即作者“从未”进行过酒水类服务。
9.A 上一句提到作者把 12 个酒杯放在托盘上并朝餐桌走去，所以是把其中一个酒杯“摆放”在第一位顾客的面前。打破酒杯是后来发生的事情，因此 B 项错误；C、D 两项不符合常识。
10.D 本句后半部分提到 6 个酒杯掉在了地上，由此可知作者当时没有握紧，所以使用lost，表示“失去”。
11.B 根据常识可知酒杯打破后应该是“躺”在地上，碎片遍地。如果选择 C 项，需要使用被动形式；D 项表示“停留”，语意不恰当。
12.D 上文提到 6 个酒杯掉在了一位年轻女士的头上，所以作者多次向这位“女士”道歉。
13.B 经理闻讯迅速“赶来”帮助作者进行清理。take over 表示“接管”，give up表示“放弃”，rush against 表示“与……碰撞”，都不符合语境。
14.A 上文提到作者多次向那位女士和团体中其他的人道歉。本句叙述的是这个团体宽恕了作者，由此可知女士“重复地”告诉作者没关系。
15.D 此处是经理在向作者传授经验，显然是让作者从中吸取教训，“学”到新的技能。
16.C 经理告诫作者不要有“紧张”和失望的表现，过错和事故时有发生。作者的过失已经发生，因此 D 项不正确。
17.C 根据本句中的 confident 一词可知经理鼓励作者昂“首”挺胸。
18.B 虽然作者一时失手打破了几个酒杯，并冒犯了其中的一位重要顾客，可是经理并没有指责，而是迅速控制了局面，并向作者面授经验，由此可推断这位经理非常受人“尊重”。
19.D 上文中提到女士和这个团体的其他人员宽恕了作者的失误，前一句提到饭店经理在附近地区颇受尊重，由此可推断经理和这个团体关系“密切”。B 项在文章中没有信息支持。
20.A 经理的声望以及他与该团体之间的密切关系让事态“平静”下来，并因此赢得了团体对作者的宽恕。

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner.”And their report cards sounded more positive （正面的）than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation”.
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent(才能)is genetic—you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego(自尊)isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.)But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
1.What does the author think about the present generation?
A. They don’t do well at school.
B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports.
D. They are given too much praise.
2. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who________ .
A. doesn’t want to work hard
B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others
D. can succeed with the help of teachers
3. What does the growth mind-set believe?
A. Admitting failure is shameful.
B. Talent comes with one’s birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued.
D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
4. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?
A. Encourage them to learn from failures.
B. Prevent them from making mistakes.
C. Guide them in doing little things.
D. Help them grow with praise.

2．A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort...”可知怀有消极心态的人认为不必付出努力就可以成功，所以“他们不想努力工作”。其他三项不合题意。
3．D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“In fact, it enjoys this experience.”可知怀有积极心态的人不但不会逃避困难，反而会“把克服困难当作享受”。A、B两项是怀有消极心态的人的观点。C项文章中没有提及。
4．A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知父母有很多事情要做以确保后代甚至本人不再被失败击倒，而要做到这一点，勇敢地面对失败并“从中吸取教训”就尤为重要了。

away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time.
As I walked, I thought seriously about 3 both acting and San Francisco. I had 4 too much of city life. As I walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 7 a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my 8 , I heard a sound behind me. I 9 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 10 so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 11 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 12 to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 13 for 15 minutes, my wallet was 14 to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the 15 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 16 . when a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camcho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 17 look in his eyes. “Is this 18 you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.

三、阅读理解（40分）
A
Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’ hard outer shells. The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp （虾） shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and ‘60s.Decades later，however, plastic’s very durability （耐用性） is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years？
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer （肥料），and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
1. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s___________ .
A .remarkable design B. interesting name
C. major features D. basic elements
2. What has become a concern about plastic?
A. Using it properly.
B. Producing it cheaply.
C. Developing its properties quickly.
D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.
3. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_________ .
A. it can help plastic degrade
B. it can be found in living things
C. its mass production has been realized
D. its raw materials are abundant in nature
4. What are the inventors doing in the lab?
A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.
B. Testing shrilk’s use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.
D. Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection
B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C. The Harm of One-time Products
D.A Possible Alternative to Plastic

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out.”Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.”But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen:“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!”Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.”A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1：...
VOYAGER 2：...”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED (自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow （光芒）,until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION (目的地)：MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025.”
10. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?
A. He wanted to take a voyage.
B. He wanted to practice his skill.
C. He was so much attracted by it.
D. He was eager to do an experiment.
11. Where did the boys’ father most likely work?
A. In an electronic factory.
B. In a computer company.
C. In a scientific research center.
D. In an information processing center.
12. Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of__________ .
A. a computer game
B. a company website
C. a software producer
D. an astronomy program
13. Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?
A. He was afraid of being scolded.
B. He didn’t like the loud noise and light.
C. He didn’t want to play games any more.
D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen.
14. What happened to the boys at the end of the story?
A. They were blown into the air.
B. They were sent to another planet.
C. They were hidden in the strong light.

Giant leap for China
A few days ago， he was just Colonel (上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday，when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space，Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words: "China’s first spaceman".
The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou V spacecraft，which went around the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job. "I have seen many landing scenes before on video，and I think ours was one of the most successful，" he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province，he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987，spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later. While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations' flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice，before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan， but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle（航天飞机）Columbia on February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely (=very) high temperatures，while the gravitational forces (重力) on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes. He has spent five years training to become a spaceman. "I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dining room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten (幼儿园)," he said. "I’ve never met his teachers." But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile (值得的). "When I boarded (=got on) the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited," he said. "I decided that I had to fly it." To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum (网上论坛) said: "Yang’s trip is a giant leap (巨大的飞跃) forward for China." China also plans to develop space walking and a space lab.
15. What is the main idea of the story?
A. China’s first manned space flight.
B. A hero with great courage.
C. The first Chinese man in space.
D. How Yang Liwei became China’s first spaceman.
16. How long did each of Yang’s orbits take on average?
A. 1 hour. B. 1.5 hours.
C. 6 hours. D. The story didn’t mention.
17. Why did the writer use "giant leap" in the title?
A. Because the space flight marked China’s great progress in the field of pace exploration.
B. Because Yang said it was a "giant leap" for mankind when he was in Shenzhou V
C. Because the space flight was a huge success.
D .Both A and B

三、1.C 段落大意题。第一段中的众多字眼，如tough,low-cost,biodegradable,thin,clear,flexible和strong等均是用来描述这种新材料特点的。而关于它的设计并未提及；这种材料的名字在本段中有所涉及，但并非本段的中心；此外，本段简单介绍了制作这种材料的物质，并未大篇幅进行讲解，也不是本段的中心。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段的第三句话可知，塑料的耐用性让人们对如何合理、恰当地使用诸如塑料袋等一些一次性产品的问题开始关注。A项意为“恰当地使用”，是人们所关注的问题，符合题目要求。B项意为“便宜地生产”；C项意为“迅速发展其性能”，D项意为“公平地评估它的贡献”均未在文中提及。

4.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“...they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments.”可知，现在研究者正在实验室对该种材料在潮湿环境下的应用进行探索和研究。
5.D 主旨大意题。A选项意为“在环境保护方面的最新进展”，题目太宽泛；B选项意为“科研中昆虫的好处”，并未提到新材料；C选项意为“一次性产品的危害”，尽管文章中有所涉及，但文章大部分的笔墨都是围绕这种新材料进行的描述，故该标题太片面；D选项意为“塑料的一种可替代品”，符合文章主旨。

7.B 数字计算题。从“￡20 per room, per night...then again 01/09/2012—31/10/2012”可知，从2012年9月1日到10月31日之间，每个房间每晚的价格是20英镑，因此两个晚上的价格是40英镑。
8.B 细节理解题。从最后一句“The B&Bs reserve the right to refuse voucher holders’ bookings for people under the age of 18.”可以得出答案。
9.A 细节理解题。联系文章中的“The offer is valid for a basic twin or double room only.”可以得出答案。
