2．(2012·枣庄模拟)It was the boy, rather than his teachers, that ________ for what the boy had done.
A．were to blame B．were to blamed
C．was to blame D．was to be blamed
答案：C be to blame表示“应该受责备”，从结构分析主语应当为the boy，因此选C。
3．________to sunlight for too much time, as the doctors say, will do harm to one's skin.
A．Being exposed B．Having exposed
C．Exposed D．After being exposed
答案：A 考查非谓语动词。从题干可知，句子的谓语“will do”没有主语，而选项B、C和D均不能在句中作主语，它们可以在句中作状语，故均可排除。而选项A为动名词的被动式，符合语境。
4．We all feel it is Jack as well as his wife that________for their son's bad performance at school.
A．are to blame B．is to be blamed
C．are to be blamed D．is to blame
答案：D 句意：我们都感觉是杰克和他的妻子应该对他们儿子在学校的恶劣行为负责。宾语从句是强调句，强调主语，根据主谓一致原则可知，谓语动词应用单数。be to blame意为“应负责任”。

A．linked B．concerned
C．united D．mixed
答案：A be linked to“与……有关”；be concerned with“与……有关”；united“联合的；团结的”；be mixed up in“与……有牵连”。

C．to discuss D．to discussing
答案：A 考查动词短语pay attention to与虚拟语气在具体语境中的运用。worth paying attention to为后置定语修饰名词problem，而suggest表示“建议”的时候，从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气(should＋)动词原形。
7．He is in great need of money, but he has________our help.
A．rejected B．reputed
C．ignored D．overlooked
答案：A 考查动词辨析。句意：他很需要钱，但他拒绝了我们的帮助。reject“拒绝”；repute“认为”；ignore“忽视”；overlook“忽略”。

11．—Your name again, please？________.
—It's Bell Green.
A．I didn't quite catch you
B．I couldn't quite catch you
C．I don't hear you
D．It's your name
答案：A 让对方重复所说的话，是因为没有听清楚(表示、事实)。catch此处意为“听清”。B项是干扰项，说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”，而不是“不能听清”。
12．________you take part in physical activity________be able to keep fit and stay healthy.
A．Only if; you will B．Only if; will you
C．Unless; you will D．Unless; will you
答案：B 考查部分倒装。句意：只有参加体育锻炼，你才能保持身体健康。“only＋状语从句”放于句首时，主句要进行部分倒装。此处是“only＋if引导的条件状语从句”，故主句须用倒装形式，因而排除A、C两项，unless不符合句意，故排除D而选B。
13．The view he________at the sales meeting last night sounds a little reasonable.
A．took down B．put forward
C．took off D．made up
答案：B put forward“提出”；take down“写下，记下”；take off“脱下(衣服等)”；make up“编造，组成”。
14．________its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material lies in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas.
A．Other than B．Apart from
C．Except for D．Rather than
答案：B 句意：除了低成本外，对作为建筑材料的铁的需求在于其自身的强度、耐火性以及在其他广泛领域中的应用潜能。apart from在此处相当于介词besides，符合语义。other than“除了”；except for“除……以外”；rather than“而不是”，均不符合语义。
15．—________to the sun, the flower will become dry soon.
—What you said does make________.
A．Exposed; sense B．Exposing; sense
C．Exposed; senses D．Exposing; a sense
答案：A 句意：——暴露在日光下，这花儿很快就会被晒干。——你说的话的确有道理。第一空expose与flower之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词作状语；第二空make sense为固定用法，表示“有道理，讲得通”。

文章大意：成年人认为青年是精力充沛的，我们青年也以这点而自豪。这种想法就会使成年人和我们认为如果我们没有把学业和生活处理好的话，我们就是没努力。这种观点对吗？
1．A.makes B．forces
C．causes D．intends
答案：C 空处动词和后面的带to的不定式构成搭配，由此可排除A，make后要求跟不带to的不定式作宾补；cause sb.to do sth.“促使某人做某事”，符合语境；尽管force可以构成这种复合结构，但“迫使某人有某种想法”和语境不符合。
2．A.still B．even
C．just D．yet
答案：B 上文的school与下文的life之间存在递进关系，故选用even。
3．A.true B．real
C．wrong D．false
答案：A 由下文可知，作者认为这种想法不见得是正确的、符合客观实际的。true表示“符合事实，是真的而不是假的或捏造的”，real表示“人或事物真实存在的，而不是想象的或虚构的”。
4．A.while B．when
C．then D．how
答案：B 语境“我正要离开教室，恰在此时突然感觉像是背部抽筋了。”考查“...be doing sth....when...”这一典型句式，其中when是并列连词，意为“就在此时(突然)”，故选B。
5．A.looked B．sounded
C．appeared D．felt
答案：D “我”突然感觉背上好像抽筋了，feel like固定词组“感觉像，觉得好像是……，想要”。
6．A.face B．hope
C．weight D．direction
答案：C 由上文可知，几天不吃饭“体重”当然下降。
7．A.hanging B．holding
C．changing D．dressing
答案：A 前两周刚买的衣服开始变得宽松。hang loose固定词组，“保持镇静、松弛、放松”，在此表示衣服宽大、松弛的样子。
8．A.In fact B．In addition
C．In disorder D．In general
答案：B 更糟糕的是，作者开始失眠。根据篇章结构，此处应为表递进关系的短语。in addition“另外”符合行文逻辑；in fact“事实上”；in disorder“混乱”；in general“通常，一般而言”。
9．A.light B．shut
C．open D．heavy
答案：D 由常识可知，睡得少会感觉眼皮很重，故用heavy。
10．A.insist B．determine
C．accept D．consider
答案：C “我”拒绝接受生病的事实，继续长时间地工作和学习。accept“接受”；insist“坚持”；determine“决定”；consider“考虑”。

C．give D．take
答案：B “我”没有旷过任何课。drop class“旷课”，符合语境。

C．Though D．Before
答案：A “我”固执地认为：生活中的磨难除非能置人于死地，否则它能使人更坚强。

C．equal to D．worth
答案：D 但现在“我”在思考，这样做“值得”吗？
14．A.at B．to
C．on D．with
答案：B “我”如此努力地学习和工作是因为为了让大学申请表看起来更吸引人。do good to“对……有利”。
15．A.control B．manage
C．support D．afford
答案：D 这样拼命工作，一旦作者上了理想的大学，就能支付得起所需费用。afford“付得起(……费用)”。
16．A.amount B．set
C．kind D．number
答案：A 我现在因病早已不能做校内外的大量的工作。the amount of...意为“……的数量”，这里指“工作的量(大)”，不可数，因此不能用number。
17．A.suitable B．impressive
C．believable D．usual
答案：B 我病得这么重，申请表再吸引人又有什么用呢？impressive“有吸引力的”，与上文does good前后相照应。
18．A.reason B．idea
C．point D．tip
答案：C 如果不能享受结果，“我”做这些工作又有什么意义呢？point“意义，道理”；reason“原因”；idea“想法”；tip“末端，建议”。
19．A.time B．work
C．newspaper D．story
答案：D my story在此处意为“我的亲身经历”。
20．A.think B．care
C．miss D．realize
答案：B 事实上，通过写“我”的经历，“我”想告诉所有关注未来的人，更应关注现在。
Ⅴ.书面表达
全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。根据所给开头，写一篇120～150词的关于环境保护的文章。要点应包括：
(1)环境恶化的现状及原因(汽车、工厂、生活垃圾)。
(2)我们该怎么做及你的倡议。
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world.___________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[范文借鉴]
Environmental_problems_are_becoming_more_and_more_serious_all_over_the_world. For example, poisonous gas given off by factories and cars has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly thrown. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. As students we can also do something for our environment. For example, turn the lights off when no one is in the classroom.
We believe that doing these small things will improve our environment and help make our world a better place to live in. (We hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better)．

A．exposing；challenging B．exposed；challenged
C．exposed：challenging D．exposing；challenged
答案：C 考查非谓语动词。句意：暴露在困难处境中的孩子更容易处理那些富有挑战性的工作。第一空选exposed，因为expose与前面的the children构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以选过去分词；第二空challenging意为“挑战性的”。

A．is constructing
B．were constructing
C．is being constructed
D．were being constructed
答案：C 考查动词的时态和语态。从整个句子结构来看，“你来我们学校参观”是对现在情况的虚拟，而运动场是正在被建设的，是客观存在的事实，所以用现在进行时的被动语态。

10．(2012·桂林、防城港一调)The little boy was so careless with his spelling that he often________letters from words.

A．There; that B．It; that
C．There; whether D．It; whether
答案：A there is no possibility为固定用法，意义是“……没有可能”；that引导的是同位语从句，用以解释possibility的内容。要注意的是whether通常不与有“不可能”之意的词连用。

15．Born in 1976 in Taiwan, Liu Qian found himself________to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old.
A．attracting B．attracted
C．attract D．to attract
答案：B 考查句式。句意：1976年出生于台湾，在七岁时，刘谦发现自己被一家店铺的一个魔术道具迷住了。himself与attract之间构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach—in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad in the sand.
Now the coast has a strangely pleasant and relaxing attraction. I look forward to a windy clifftop(峭壁顶部)walk or a rainy day rockpicking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there's nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favorite secret beaches—ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.
Sennen Cove is just a mile northeast of Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It's a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles(群岛)of Scilly, 28 miles away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There's a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of the Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide—and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm(棕榈)trees of Tresco's Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It's that kind of place.
文章大意：鲜为人知的地方往往隐藏着美丽的风景，英国大不列颠群岛的边缘地带就隐蔽着几处美不胜收的海滩。
1．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency.
B．The author likes walking on a windy clifftop most.
C．The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.
D．The author loves the beaches that are not known to most people.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知作者喜欢这几处不被大多数人知道的海滩。
2．Which of the following maps can correctly describe the geography position?
(LE＝Land's End SC＝Sennen Cove IS＝the Isles of Scilly)
答案：D 细节理解题。此题可用排除法。根据第四段的内容可知Sennen Cove位于Land's End的东北，并且Land's End位于英国大陆的最西边，且Sennen Cove离the Isles of Scilly 28英里远，由此可判断D项正确。
3．From the passage we can know that________.
A．Bryher is the smallest island in the world
B．Samson is an island on which no man lives
C．Rushy Bay has views over to the palm trees
D．Green Bay is situated to the south of Rushy Bay
答案：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“...the deserted island of Samson”可知Samson是一座荒废的岛屿，由此可推断此岛无人居住。
4．The best title for the passage is________.
A．Secret Beaches on the British Isles
B．The Beautiful British Isles
C．The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain
D．My Experience of Searching Beaches
答案：A 主旨大意题。文章从作者童年时代的记忆写起，逐渐引入了英国的一些比较隐秘的海滩，这也是本文的中心话题，所以“英国大不列颠的秘密海滩”最能概括文章大意。
B
Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe—the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.
“Ties offer a point of indifference，” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare amongst the new bread of entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders，including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people—but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was“hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps“tieless Tony”(UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”．
文章大意：带领结在英国曾经是身份和地位的象征，但是近年来带领结的人越来越少，包括像布莱尔这样的政治领袖也不带领结，以彰显贫民色彩。此举可能导致领结在西方世界逐渐消失。
5．In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person's
________.
A. personality B. social position
C. job D. favorite hobby
答案：B 细节理解题。根据文章第一、二段内容可知，带领结在英国曾经是一个人的身份和地位的标志，因此答案选B。
6．In the business world，wearing a tie was necessary because________.
A. it showed you were a brainworker
B. it showed you got a good salary
C. it showed you were an employer
D. it showed you were well-trained
答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知，带领结可以表明一个人是脑力劳动者。
7．The writer may hold the opinion that________.
A. Blair is the best leader in the world
B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C. millions of people will go to work without a tie
D. people will wear hats instead of ties
答案： C 推理判断题。从文章最后一段内容可知，由于肯尼迪的示范作用，戴帽子的风俗在美国逐渐消失。作者认为，不带领结的汤尼·布莱尔可能会起到同样的作用，即人们可能不带领结去上班，故答案选C。
8． The underlined word “vanished” in the last paragraph may mean________.
A. sold B. washed
C. appeared D. disappeared
答案：D 词义猜测题。划线单词的前一句说，看到世界上最有权力的人不再戴帽子，数百万的其他人也决定不戴帽子。这样，帽子就渐渐在西方世界“消失”了。所以vanished的意义相当于disappeared。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town's newspaper—The Beldon Post：
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don't smoke cigarettes in bed.”This was Beldon's first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said，“An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.”We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August; that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.
Now what do you think of the rest of the“news”？
文章大意：本文通过讲述两个对手城市的报纸对同一次火灾事故的不同报道，对新闻报道的真实性提出了质疑。
1．Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?
A．Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.
B．A fire broke out at night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.
C．It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.
D．Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.
答案：C 主旨大意题。从主题句“It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident.”可得出答案。
2．Which of the following are probably facts?
a．The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.
b．A cigarette started the fire.
c．An old lamp started the fire.
d．The fire broke out at night.
e．There has never been a fire in Canfield.
A．b and c B．a and d
C．c and e D．a and c
答案：B 细节理解题。根据“Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel”及两家报纸都报道了火灾是在晚上发生的，故可以确定的事实只有两项：a和d。而其他选项都只是两份报纸的片面之词，到底是真是假，我们无法得知，因此答案为B。
3．The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think________.
A．hotels in Beldon often catch fire
B．hotels in Beldon don't often catch fire
C．this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel
D．Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe
答案：A 推理判断题。ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CA-
TCHES FIRE中ANOTHER是个关键词，它暗示Beldon的宾馆频繁发生火灾。
4．The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to The Beldon Post by saying that________.
A．the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel
B．the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place
C．the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things
D．such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years
答案：C 细节理解题。The Canfield Times报道说“Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel.”，而The Beldon Post则说消防队员及时把这场小火扑灭了(没有造成损失)。两则报道相反。
B
School Report went international when the BBC News project's first global radio bulletin was made at Randfontein High School near Johannesburg in South Africa.
Students from the school were joined by pupils from two other schools—Parktown High School for Girls and Impala Crescent Primary School—and went live at 14：00 local time on 3 February 2009. BBC Producers Ros Smith and Kate Riley were invited by the Commonwealth of Learning to work with the schools.
After deciding on their news items, the students gathered vox_pops from fellow students and their teachers.
Tiffany said，“We had a chance to talk to other kids from other schools. This was great because Randfontein is situated in the sticks, away from civilisation.” Nomakhosi added, “Interviewing our teachers and classmates was interesting and I felt important while doing this.”
Chene commented, “My voice sounded like a whole new person. It takes some time getting used to hearing your own voice.”
Pupils, known as learners in South Africa, then worked with School Report producer Ros Smith to edit their clips while others started script-writing(写广播稿)．
With the 1,400 deadline fast approaching, and the audio edited, the new School Reporters recorded their scripts so they could be added to the bulletin.
Ros Smith was really impressed with the students' work. She said, “The stories they chose were an excellent mix. The final bulletin sounds really good, and they finished with 10 minutes to spare before the deadline.”
On 26 March students from the three schools will take part in the School Report News Day with support from the Open Learning Systems Education Trust, and it was a big success.
文章大意：南非的中学生们自己动手收集新闻线索，采访、编写、修改、录制新闻节目。他们制作的新闻节目令BBC的专家们也刮目相看！
5．BBC School Report started its first worldwide radio bulletin in________.
A. its News Centre
B. Randfontein High School
C. Impala Crescent Primary School
D. Parktown High School for Girls
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，BBC School Report这一栏目的第一份全球新闻简报是在南非的Randfontein High School制作的。
6．The underlined words “vox pops” in Paragraph 3 probably mean________.
A. news about pop stars
B. skills of writing news
C. voices from the public
D. suggestions on how to start an interview
答案：C 词义猜测题。根据下文学生Nomakhosi的话Interviewing our teachers and classmates可以推知，此处是说学生们采访身边的人，来获取“公众的声音”。故C项解释符合该词组的意思。
7．Which of the following is TRUE about Randfontein?
A. It is a big city in South Africa.
B. It is a small and underdeveloped place.
C. It established the School Report News Day.
D. It invited Ros Smith and Kate Riley to a celebration.
答案： B 推理判断题。根据第四段Tiffany的话可知，Randfontein是一个相对比较落后的地方。
8．The students do the following jobs by themselves EXCEPT
______.
A. collecting the material for news
B. interviewing the people
C. editing the material
D. setting up the deadline
答案：D 细节理解题。文中提到学生自己动手收集新闻线索，采访、编写、修改和录制新闻，但是未提及确定截止日期，因此答案选D项。
9．What's the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To give advice on making radio bulletins.
B. To introduce BBC School Report's first global radio bulletin.
C. To show students' interest in making news in South Africa.
D. To call on people to pay more attention to South African schools.
答案：B 推理判断题。通读全文可以看出，作者的写作目的是介绍南非中学生如何制作BBC School Report这一新闻栏目的第一份全球新闻简报。

[范文借鉴]
One day, my friend and I were walking along the street when we saw a car knocked a girl off her bicycle. We rushed to help her. We found her leg bleeding badly. I had learned some knowledge about first aid before, so I left her where she was. Quickly I found a clean handkerchief and pressed it onto the bleeding point and held it there.
Meanwhile my friend went to telephone the First Aid Center. We were staying with the girl until the doctors and her parents came.
Soon the girl came round. How grateful her parents to us!
